The seventy-ninth chapter: brother forced brother Cao Zhi to write poetry, nephew trapped by uncle Liu Feng

However, Cao Pi was shocked to ask all the officials when he heard that Cao Zhang was coming. One of them stood up and wanted to go and convince him. Everyone looked at him, so he advised the official Jia Kui. Cao Pi was overjoyed and ordered Jia Kui to go. Kui took the order to leave the city and welcome Cao Zhang. Zhang asked, "Where is the seal and ribbon of the previous king?" Kui said seriously, "There is the eldest son of the family and the crown prince of the country. The seal and ribbon of the previous king are not suitable for the king and marquis." Zhang was silent and entered the city with Jia Kui. When he arrived at the palace gate, Kui asked, "You are here to go to the funeral? Do you want to fight for the position?" Zhang said, "I am here to go to the funeral, and there is no other intention." Kui said, "Since I have no intention, why should I bring my troops into the city?" Zhang immediately scolded the soldiers around the left and right, and went in alone, and met Cao Pi. The two brothers hugged each other and cried. Cao Zhang handed over all the troops and horses of the headquarters to Cao Pi. Pi ordered Zhang to return to Yanling to defend himself, and Zhang left.

So Cao Pi was appointed as the throne and rebuilt An in the 25th year of An as the first year of Yankang; Jia Xu was appointed as the Grand Marshal, Hua Xin was appointed as the Prime Minister, and Wang Lang was appointed as the Censorate; all officials of all sizes were promoted and rewarded. Cao Cao was posthumously named King Wu, buried in Gaoling, Ye County, and ordered Yu Jin to serve Dong Zhiling. Jin was ordered to come to him. He saw that Guan Yunchang was flooded on the white powder wall in the tomb house. The seven armies were captured by Yu Jin: Hua Yunchang was sitting up, Pang De was angry and unyielding, and Yu Jin bowed down.

On the ground, he begged for his orders. It turned out that Cao Pi was captured because Yu Jin was defeated and could not die. After surrendering to the enemy and returning, he despised him as a human being, so he first asked someone to paint a wall of the mausoleum and deliberately made him feel ashamed of him. When Yu Jin saw this portrait, he was both ashamed and annoyed, and became sick, and died soon after. Later generations sighed: "Thirty years have passed since I talked about my old friendship, but I am pitiful and unfaithful to Cao. I know that people have not known each other in my heart, and now I paint the tiger from my bones."

But Hua Xin reported to Cao Pi, "The Marquis of Yanling has handed over the army and horses and went to his country; Linzi Marquis Zhi and Xiao Huai Marquis Xiong, the two of them did not come to attend the funeral, so they should be punished. Pi followed him and sent two envoys to two places to investigate the crime. A day later, Xiao Huai's envoy replied: "The Marquis of Xiao Huai Cao Xiong was afraid of his crime and hanged himself to death." Pi ordered him to be buried with him and posthumously presented him to King Xiao Huai. Another day later, the envoy of Linzi responded, saying: "The Marquis of Linzi and Ding Yi,

Ding Yi and his brothers drank with a heart-warming and rude. When they heard that the mission had arrived, the Marquis of Linzi sat down and stopped him. Ding Yi scolded: In the past, the former king wanted to make my lord the prince, but was blocked by slanderous ministers. Now the king was not far away, so he was asked to blame his flesh and blood. Why? Ding Yi also said: Since my lord is smart, he will inherit the throne, but he will not be able to establish it now. Why don’t you know that the ministers of the temple are as talented as this! Linzihou was angry and scolded the warriors to beat the ministers with sticks."

When Pi heard this, he was furious and ordered Xu Chu to lead 3,000 Tiger Guards and quickly to Linzi to capture Cao Zhi and 1,000 others. Chu was ordered to lead the army to Linzi City. The generals blocked him, and Chu immediately killed him and entered the city. No one dared to be sharp and went straight to the palace hall. Cao Zhi, Ding Yi, Ding Yi and others were all drunk. Chu tied him up and carried him on a carriage, and took all the officials of the government to exile Ye County. He waited for Cao Pi to take the lead. Pi ordered that Ding Yi, Ding Yi and others be executed first. Ding Yi's name was Zhengli, and Ding Yi's name was Jingli, and the people of Pei County were a scholar. He was a scholar at the time. When he was killed, he cherished him.

But it was said that when Cao Pi's mother, Bian, heard that Cao Xiong was hanged to death, he was very sad. Suddenly, he heard that Cao Zhi was captured, and his party Ding Yi and others had been killed, and was shocked. He rushed out of the hall and summoned Cao Pi to meet him. Pi saw his mother leaving the hall and came to pay a visit. Bian cried and said to Pi, "Your brother Zhi has been addicted to alcohol and crazy all his life, because he is relied on his talent in his heart, so he is indulging. You can remember the feelings of your compatriots and save his life. I also close my eyes when I came to Jiuquan." Pi said, "I love his talent very much, how can I harm him? I am trying to quit his nature now. Mother should not worry."

Bian shed tears and entered, Pi left the side hall and summoned Cao Zhi to see him. Hua Xin asked, "Is it because the Empress Dowager advised Your Highness not to kill Zi Jian?" Pi said, "Yes." Xin said, "Zi Jian is talented and wise, but it is not a thing in the pool. If it is not eliminated early, it will be a problem for the future." Pi said, "Mother's order should not be violated." Xin said, "Everyone said that Zi Jian's words were complete, but I have not believed it deeply. The master can summon him to test him with his talent.

If you can't, kill it; if you can, you will demote it to the literati in the world." Pi followed it. After a moment, Cao Zhi saw it and fell to ask for guilt. Pi said, "Although I have a brotherly relationship with you, the righteousness belongs to the monarch and the ministers, how dare you despise your rituals? When the old king was in the day, you often showed others articles, and I deeply doubt that you must use others to write. I am now limited to you to carry out seven steps to recite a poem. If you can, you will avoid death; if you can't, you will be punished seriously and will never forgive me!" Zhi said, "I would like to ask for a title." At that time, an ink painting was hung in the hall, two cows were drawn under the earth wall, and one cow fell into the well and died. Pi pointed to the painting and said, "This is the title. The poem is not allowed to violate the two cows under the wall, and one cow fell into the well and died." Zhi walked seven steps, and his poem was completed. The poem said, "Two meats are in the same way as the way.

When he walked, he had a concave bone on his head. When he met a mountain, he met a mountain and was scattered. The two enemies were not strong, and one flesh lies in the cave. It was not that his strength was not as good as his strength, and his vitality was not discharged." Cao Pi and his ministers were all shocked. Pi said, "I still think it was delayed. Can you write a poem in response to the sound?" Zhi said, "I am a brother." Pi said, "I am a brother and I. With this title, you are not allowed to violate the words 'brother'." Zhi did not think about it, and then he took a poem and said, "Boil beans and burn bean pods, and beans cry in the pot. It was originally the same root, so why are they too anxious to fry each other!" Cao Pi heard it and burst into tears. His mother, Bian, came out from the back of the hall and said, "Why are you pushing your brother so much?" Pi hurriedly left and said, "The national law cannot be abolished." So he demoted Cao Zhi to Marquis of Anxiang. Zhi bowed and got on his horse and left.

After Cao Pi ascended the throne, his laws were renewed and he threatened the Emperor of Han, even more than his father. He had already made detailed reports to Chengdu. When the Hanzhong King heard about it, he was shocked and discussed with Wenwu, saying, "Cao Cao is dead, Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, and threatened the emperor even more than Cao. Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu bowed his hand to the ministers. He wanted to attack Dongwu first to avenge Yunchang's revenge; then to fight against the Central Plains to eliminate the rioters." Before he finished speaking, Liao Hua came out and cried and bowed to the ground, saying, "The murder of Guan Gong and his son is actually Liu Feng and Meng Da. I beg for the execution of these two thieves." Xuande wanted to send someone to capture them. Kong Ming advised, "No. It is better to take it slowly, and if it is urgent, there will be changes. You can promote these two people to the county magistrates and transfer them to the central plains, and then you can capture them." Xuande followed him and sent an envoy to promote Liu Feng to guard Mianzhu.

It turned out that Peng Yi and Meng Da were very kind. When they heard about this, they rushed home to write a book and sent a confidant to report to Meng Da. The envoy was just outside the south gate and was caught by Ma Chao's inspection army. When they understood this matter, they went to see Peng Yi. Xiao came in and treated each other. After drinking several times, Chao picked him up and said, "The King of Hanzhong treated Duke very well, why are he getting thinner now?" Xiao was drunk and scolded, "I will repay him with old age!" Chao also stumbled, "I have also been resentful for a long time." Xiao said, "The Duke has set up his army and joined Meng Da for external cooperation, and he was led by the Sichuan army as an internal response. Major events can be taken." Chao said, "Mr. What you said is very worthy. I will discuss it later."

Chao resigned Peng Li, and immediately gave a letter to the King of Hanzhong to explain the matter in detail. Xuande was furious and ordered Peng Li to be captured and imprisoned, and tortured him. When he was in prison, he regretted it. Xuande asked Kong Ming, "Peng Li had the intention of rebellion, so how should he cure him?" Kong Ming said, "Although a crazy man, if he stayed for a long time, he would cause trouble." So Xuande gave Peng Li to death in prison.

After his death, someone reported Meng Da. Da was shocked and acted in a dire manner. Suddenly, the mission came, and Liu Feng returned to guard Mianzhu. Meng Da panicked and asked Shangyong. Fangling Commander Shen Dan and brothers Shen Yi to discuss and said, "I and Fa Xiaozhi have made contributions to King Hanzhong; now Xiaozhi has died, and the King of Hanzhong has forgotten his previous achievements and wants to see harm. What should he do? "Dan said, "I have a plan to prevent King Hanzhong from harming him." Da was overjoyed and asked urgently what plan. Dan said, "My brother has been trying to surrender to Wei for a long time. Duke can make a statement. He resigned to the King of Hanzhong and surrendered to King Wei Cao Pi. Pi must use it. We both surrendered later." Da suddenly realized and wrote a letter and gave it to the envoy. That night he led more than fifty cavalry to Wei.

The mission was held by the letter and returned to Chengdu, reported to the King of Hanzhong, saying that Meng Da had surrendered to Wei. The first lord was furious. He read his statement and said, "I am the Emperor Da, who is about to build Yi, Lu's career, pursue Huan, Wen's achievements, and create great things. He is the one who is a good man, and he hopes that the wind will be surrendered. Since I was entrusted with the qualities, I have been wronged in the mountains. I still know myself, let alone the king? Now the dynasty is handsome and has no auxiliary tools and no talent for generals. I am the second meritorious minister. I am really ashamed of myself! I heard that Fan Li knew the slightest and floating in the five lakes; my uncle apologized and was saith on the river. I ask for orders to beg for my life between the meetings. What's the difference between me? What's the difference between meritorious people who want to leave? What's more, I am despicable, and I have no original merits and great merits. I am responsible for the times. I have long admired the predecessors and thought of the far away.

Shen Sheng was extremely filial and suspicious of his relatives; Zixu was extremely loyal and punished by the king; Meng Tian was greatly punished by the territory, and Le Yi defeated Qi and was slandered. Whenever I read his book, I always sighed and shed tears; but my relatives took charge of his affairs and mourned him more and more! Nearby, Jingzhou was defeated, and the ministers lost their integrity, and no one returned. However, when I looked for the matter, I went to Fangling, Shangyong, and begged for themselves, and let them go outside. I thought that your highness was grateful to the priest, and I felt compassion for the ministers, and mourned the ministers' actions. I was sincere and villainous, and I could not do it all. I knew it and did it, and I dare to say that it was not a crime? I always heard that there was no evil voice, and I had no resentment, and I followed the gentleman's mistakes and taught him. I hope the king would encourage him. I was extremely frightened!" After seeing it, Xuande said furiously, "How dare I use my words to express my words and words."

"You can start a military force to capture him." Kong Ming said, "You can send Liu Feng to advance his troops and order the two tigers to join him. Liu Feng may have made achievements or be defeated, and he will return to Chengdu. He will eliminate them and eliminate them. Xuande followed him, so he sent an envoy to Mianzhu and sent an order to Liu Feng. Feng received the order and led his troops to capture Meng Da. However, Cao Pi was gathering civil and military affairs to discuss matters. Suddenly, his close ministers reported, "Meng Da, the general of Shu, came to surrender." Pi summoned in and asked, "Is it a false surrender?" Da said, "In order not to save Guan Gong's danger, the King of Hanzhong wanted to kill his ministers, so he came to surrender for fear of guilt, and he had no other intention."! Cao Pi had not approved the letter, and suddenly reported that Liu Feng led 50,000 troops to capture Xiangyang, and singlely defeated Meng Da to fight. Pi said, "Since you are sincere, you can go."

Xiangyang took Liu Feng's head, and the only one was convinced. "Da said, "I said it according to the interests and the disadvantages. There is no need to move troops. Let Liu Feng also surrender." Pi was very happy, so he added Meng Da as the attendant of the Sanqi cavalry, General Jianwu, Marquis of Pingyang, and led the prefect of Xincheng to guard Xiangyang and Fancheng. It turned out that Xiahou Shang and Xu Huang had already been in Xiangyang first, and were about to collect Shangyong's tribes. Meng arrived in Xiangyang and finished his rituals with the two generals. He found Liu Feng's camp fifty miles away from the city. Da immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to go to Shuzhai to surrender Liu Feng. Liu Feng was furious and said, "This thief misunderstood the righteousness of my uncle and nephew, and my father and son were also close to me, so I was an unfaithful and unfilial person!" So he pulled the letter and killed his envoy. The next day, he led the army to fight.

Meng Da knew that Liu Feng had to kill the envoy, and was furious and led his troops out to meet him. The two sides met, and Feng stood at the gate. He pointed at the sword and scolded, "How dare you speak nonsense!" Meng Da said, "You are dead now, and you are still obsessed with it!" Feng was furious, and beat the horse and the sword, and headed straight for Meng Da. The battle was not three times, Da was defeated, Feng took the opportunity to chase after him for more than twenty miles, shouted, and all the ambushed soldiers came out, Xiahou Shang on the left, Xu Huang on the right, and Meng Da turned around and returned to the battle.

After attacking, Liu Feng was defeated and ran back to Shangyong overnight. The Wei soldiers behind him rushed to the city. Liu Feng went to the city to call the gate, and arrows shot down from the city. Shen Dan shouted on the enemy's tower, "I have surrendered to Wei!" Feng was furious and wanted to attack the city. The pursuit army was coming from behind. Feng could not stand his foot, so he could only look at Fangling and ran away. Seeing that all the Wei flags were planted on the city. Shen Yi was flying a flag on the enemy's tower, and a army came out behind the city, with a large letter on the flag "Right General Xu Huang". Feng could not resist the enemy and hurriedly looked at Xichuan and left.

Huang took advantage of the situation to chase and kill. Liu Feng's subordinates had only a hundred cavalry left. When he arrived in Chengdu, he came to see the King of Hanzhong, cried and bowed to the ground, and reported the previous incident in detail. Xuande said angrily, "Who is the humiliating son coming to see me again!" Feng said, "It is my uncle's difficulty, not my son will not save me, because Meng Da advised him to block me." Xuande turned angry and said, "You must eat people's food and wear people's clothes, not people in the earth puppet! How can you listen to the slanderous thieves!" He ordered his left and right to behead him. After the King of Hanzhong beheaded Liu Feng, he later heard that Meng Da called him and destroyed his books and beheaded the envoy, and he regretted it. He also mourned Guan Gong, which caused him to get sick. Therefore, he stopped moving.

Let’s talk about the King of Wei Cao Pi, who ascended the throne, promoted all the civil and military officials. He then led 300,000 troops to the Qiao County of Pei State, and visited the ancestors in the village. The elders in the village kept dust and covered the road, and served wine to follow the affairs of Emperor Gaozu of Han to return to Pei. People reported that the general Xiahou Dun was critically ill, and Pi returned to Ye County. At that time, Dun had already died, but he did not filial piety and was buried with generous gifts.

In August of that year, it was reported that the Phoenix in Shiyi County came to Yi, the Qilin in Linzi City appeared, and the Huanglong appeared in Ye County. So the General Li Fu of the Central Army and the Chief Secretary Xu Zhi discussed: All kinds of auspicious signs are signs of the contemporary Han Dynasty of Wei, and the ceremony of Zen can be arranged to receive Zen, and the Emperor of Han will be ordered to transfer the world to the King of Wei. So, together with Hua Xin, Wang Lang, Xinpi, Jia Xu, Liu Yi, Liu Ye, Chen Jiao, Chen Qun, Huan Jie, etc., a group of civil and military bureaucrats, including Hua Xin, Wang Lang, Xinpi, Jia Xu, Liu Yi, Liu Ye, Chen Jiao, Chen Qun, Huan Jie, etc., more than 40 people went straight to the inner hall to report to Emperor Xian of Han and asked Emperor Xian of Wei to abdicate Cao Pi.
