Late at night - Luoyang City - in the back hall of the new Prime Minister's Mansion!
The lights are swaying, the white curtains are hung high, incense smoke is lingering, and it is solemn and solemn. A huge five-layer coffin is placed in the center, with two layers of catalpa wood on the outside. It is tough, does not warp or crack, and is known as immortal for thousands of years!
The middle two layers are made of sandalwood, also known as ¡®gloomy wood¡¯. The texture is straight and as hard as iron. It is not afraid of water, shade, insects or bacteria!
In the center is a layer of golden nanmu, which is known for its nobility and beauty. Under the light of the lights, the golden light shines like clouds and brocade, and there is a faint fragrance Cao Cao's body lies inside, which has been carefully cleaned. His eyes were slightly closed and his face was peaceful, as if he was asleep.
According to the system of the Han Dynasty: princes and kings should hold night pearls in their mouths, rest their heads on gold pillows, stuff nine orifices of jade inside, wear jade clothes with gold threads outside, and bury them with "yellow intestines", which can ensure that the corpse will be immortal for thousands of years and have a beautiful appearance. Live like new!
However, Cao Cao made a confession before his death: The world has not yet stabilized, and the ancients have not been respected. Simple burials are enough. No gold, jade, jewelry, copper, iron, tin utensils, etc. will be buried. Therefore, everything is simple. No burial objects are placed in the coffin. Wearing only ordinary clothes, not a single precious metal jewelry!
In February, the weather was slightly warm. In order to prevent the body from rotting, some special spices were placed in the corners of the coffin. There were also many large ice cubes outside the coffin. They were replaced every hour, which was considered a great 'luxury'!
¡°Tick-tock!¡ª¡ªTick-tock!¡±
Xu Chu was wearing armor and holding a knife, standing next to the coffin. His resolute face was full of death, and his tears didn't stop for a moment, and his blood turned red from crying. He has always been Cao Cao's shadow, but now that his body is dead, his shadow will follow him. is dead.
After Cao Cao's death, the tiger general wanted to kill himself and follow him under the underworld, but Xiao Yi stopped him and used a white lie to make him give up the idea of ??burial.
Xiao Yi told Xu Chu that the king had his last words before his death: 'After I am buried, let Xu Chu and his descendants guard the royal mausoleum for eternity. Only when the Tiger Marquis guards the mausoleum, can I sleep peacefully! ¡¯
Since ancient times, all emperors¡¯ tombs must be guarded. This is a very high honor and an arduous task that cannot be undertaken by anyone other than a close confidant!
Xu Chu accepted it happily, and drew out his saber, cut his cheek and swore an oath: 'The Xu family will never cease, and the mausoleum will continue to be guarded! ¡¯
Since then, Xu Chu and his family members have become the guardians of Cao Cao's tomb. Their descendants have kept their promise for more than 1,800 years, and they are still continuing silently
"O king! - The soul is back! The soul is back!"
"O king! - It hurts my heart! It hurts my heart!"
¡¡
Cheng Yu, Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, Hua Xin, Dong Zhao and dozens of important civil and military officials, all dressed in plain clothes, knelt in the lobby and cried, with tears streaming down their faces, but they did not dare to let go of their voices!
Because Cao Cao¡¯s life and death is related to the safety of the world, in order not to cause unrest in the hearts of the people, the news of his death has not been announced yet, but dozens of important ministers have been notified, in the name of discussing military and national affairs, to come to the back hall to offer sacrifices and mourn!
The inside and outside of the Prime Minister's Palace have been blocked by the "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry". There is a post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. No one is allowed to take a step before the funeral has been discussed, lest the news be leaked!
While the ministers were mourning, their eyes were fixed on the altar in front. In addition to the tributes of pig, sheep and ox heads, there were also two seal boxes - the golden seal of the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, and the treasure of the King of Wei!
The weight of these two seal treasures is enough to shock the entire world. Now that Cao Cao's soul has returned to the underworld, who will become their new owner? This is also one of the things to be discussed tonight!
"The death of the king is heartbreaking, but military and national affairs cannot be abandoned. I invite you all to come here tonight to discuss the funeral, burial, and succession. What do you think?"
Xiao Yi knelt near the coffin, wearing the most solemn mourning clothes, all in white, even the cuffs and trouser legs were wrapped in white cloth, with a piece of hemp rope tied on his head and a mourning stick in his hand!
According to the rules of the Han family, after the death of an old man, his direct descendants should wear sackcloth, wear mourning, and kneel in front of the coffin to guard him. He must also observe mourning for three years. During this period, he cannot eat delicious food, wear bright clothes, or have sex with his wife!
"But among the sons of the Cao family, some are in Xuchang, some in Qingzhou, and some are far away in the Western Regions There are none nearby, so Xiao Yi, as his son-in-law, serves as the guardian of the spirits.
This is an act of filial piety, but it also makes people think wildly, because the person responsible for guarding the soul is often the heir of the deceased. Now that Xiao Yi is kneeling in front of Cao Cao's soul, is he coveting the throne?
&?The family is alone!
"An ancient saying goes: A family cannot be left without a master, and a country cannot be left without a king. It is heartbreaking for a king to abandon his subjects, but the most urgent task is to invite the prince to succeed him, so as to calm the people of the country!
Hua Xin and Dong Zhao listen to the order: Take the seal and ribbon of the late king, return to Xuchang immediately, hand it over to the prince, and help the prince stabilize the government!
"I would like to ask your Majesty to issue an imperial edict, which is to confer the crown prince as the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty and succeed the King of Wei. This is to be announced to the world, to reassure people's hearts, and to prevent anyone from peeping at the throne!" "
¡¡
"Promise, I will obey Da Sima's instructions!"
Xiao Yi grabbed the Golden Seal of the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty and the Treasure of the King of Wei. He weighed the weight in his hands and pushed them out without hesitation. He glared at Cao Hong, who shrank his head and did not dare to refute a word. !
Hua Xin and Dong Zhao were filled with joy, crawled forward a few steps, took over two seals as heavy as Mount Tai, and prepared to return to Xuchang City overnight to help Cao Pi stabilize the situation and succeed to the throne!
The other important ministers also nodded secretly. They thought Xiao Yi would keep one, but unexpectedly he handed them all over. It turned out to be honorable and loyal. Your Majesty did not entrust the wrong person!
"The two seals and ribbons have a new owner, but what should I do with Cao Cao's coffin? Send it to Xuchang together, or to Yecheng?"
"The king was born as a great man, and died as a ghost. If he concealed the news of his death and did not announce the funeral secretly, wouldn't he make the world laugh at him? I have decided to hold a funeral ceremony for the king in Luoyang City. After seven days of worship, the coffin will be put into the coffin. Send it to Yecheng for burial!"
"But since all the princes are not in Luoyang, who will preside over the funeral?"
"Isn't it wrong for me, the great Sima, to wear sackcloth and show his mourning, kowtow to thank the guests, blow banners and hold pots?"
"No, no, it's natural for Da Sima to preside over the funeral!"
¡¡
Xiao Yi made the final decision and personally presided over the funeral for the traitor. None of the important civil and military ministers dared to object, and they all retreated. Some returned to Xuchang City, some published obituaries, and some arranged funeral arrangements The hall instantly became quiet. .
"Zhongkang, go down and rest for a while!"
"But, Lord Sima?"
"Tonight, let me accompany the king!"
"No!"
Xu Chu also went down, and there was only one dead person and one living person left in the lobby. All the doors and windows were closed. Xiao Yi sat cross-legged in front of the coffin, guarding the lantern in front of the coffin, while chatting with 'Cao Cao'
"Your Majesty, do you still remember? The first time we met was in the mansion of General He Jin. All the ministers looked down on me, a little person. Only you treated me with courtesy and offered me a glass of wine. , a cup of heart-to-heart wine, a lifelong relationship between the king and his subjects!
"Actually, I know in my heart that you have been guarding against Wuyou all these years and suppressed Wuyou everywhere, but Wuyou has never resented you, because you are for the country, the country, and the peace of the world!
Caring, the same flesh, the power of power, like hatred, oh now you are gone, how do I go behind the road oh! "
As he was talking, Xiao Yi suddenly burst into tears, with tears streaming down his face and his hands and feet kicking. He was just like a little baby, without the demeanor of the best general in the world.
Since time travel, Xiao Yi has only shed tears three times in more than 20 years:
The first time was when the old Taoist master passed away. He cried all night on Crouching Tiger Mountain and swore a vow of revenge!
The second time was in Liaodong, when my friend Guo Jia died on the battlefield, which made people cry!
Tonight is the third time that I shed tears for the death of Cao Cao. I burst into tears and burst into tears. My mood was extremely complicated, six parts sad and four parts fearful!
What is sad is that for more than twenty years, Cao and Xiao have worked together to pacify the princes, pacify the people, and eliminate foreign troubles, and have achieved great achievements. They have also formed a relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law, and their caring is better than flesh and blood!
In Xiao Yi¡¯s heart, he already regards Cao Cao as his ¡®father¡¯. Now that his father has passed away, the son is naturally extremely sad.
What is scary is that taking over the world is extremely dangerous, just like crossing a river by feeling for stones. In the past, Cao Cao walked in front, and Xiao Yi just followed step by step. Although it is dangerous, he is not afraid!
Now that the leader is gone, Xiao Yi has to cross the river alone. Facing the surging river water and rapid rapids, how can he not be afraid in his heart?
How to pacify Bashu and Jiangdong, how to prevent the gentry group from counterattack, and how to make the country prosperous Xiao Yi has to bear all of these alone, and the pressure is huge!
"Don't worry, Prime Minister. Regardless of your origin, the national policy of relying on talents will be implemented on your behalf!"
"The road to pacify the princes and unify the world will be completed for you in the end!"
"The descendants of the Cao family will take good care of them and prevent fratricide from happening. You can rest in peace under the Nine Springs!"
¡¡¡¡
Just as Xiao Yi expected, the news of Cao Cao's death could not be concealed at all. That night, more than a dozen carrier pigeons soared into the sky and flew in all directions
Some are going to Chang'an City, some are going to Xuchang City, some are going to Qingzhou-Linzi City, and some are flying to Bashu and Jiangdong - the death of the traitor is known to the whole world!
