"Your Majesty Your Majesty, Long Yu, has passed away Wuwu!"
"Everyone, please be silent and don't speak out, so as not to disturb the morale of the army!"
The Southern Expedition was defeated and suffered heavy losses. The emperor died and the country was left without a master. This was like a strong earthquake to the Wei Empire, which was already unstable. If it was not dealt with carefully, there would probably be " The house is in danger of collapse!
Now the only people who know about the emperor's death are Cao Xiong, Hua Xin, Wang Lang, Jiang Ji, Sima Yi, and Xia Houchen. Everyone suppressed their crying and discussed countermeasures in low voices, and quickly reached an agreement:
¡®We will not announce the funeral secretly, withdraw our troops as soon as possible, return to Luoyang, issue a posthumous edict, support the crown prince Cao Rui to succeed him as emperor, and invite the Grand Master to join the government to assist the government! ¡¯
Countermeasures are available, but they are difficult to implement. It is now late June, and the Jianghuai area is sultry and humid. Cao Pi's body is placed in the palace. It will rot in just three or two days. Once the stench spreads, I am afraid that the news of the emperor's death cannot be concealed.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????
Therefore, the top priority is to embalm the body so that the death of the emperor can be concealed!
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the style of lavish burial was highly praised, believing that as long as the corpse did not rot, the deceased could continue to enjoy the glory and wealth of his lifetime in another world. Therefore, it has been passed down for hundreds of years and a mature set of antiseptic techniques has been formed:
First, bathe the body with fragrant soup, wipe it repeatedly with strong wine, then seal the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, anus, vagina and other nine orifices with jade to prevent the essence from leaking out, then wrap it in layers of fine linen and put it on. Gold threaded jade clothes Finally, he was buried in a multi-layered coffin and buried underground with Feng Shui treasures!
The corpse treated in this way can be immortal for thousands of years and its appearance is lifelike!
The problem is that bathing in fragrant soup and sealing the nine orifices with jade require specialized craftsmen and materials. There is no preparation in advance in the palace, and there is no gold and jade clothes. What should we do?
What¡¯s more, if the body is buried in a big way, the news of the emperor¡¯s death will definitely be leaked. By then, the people will be scattered and the people will be disintegrated. It will be terrible if the Wu army tears up the agreement and takes the opportunity to kill in large numbers!
"The news of the death must be concealed, and His Majesty's body must be preserved. Can you guys have the best of both worlds?"
"You are a low-ranking official but you have no talent, but there is a solution that is not a solution!"
"Zhongda, tell me quickly, what can we do?"
"abalone!"
"Ah, I'm afraid this plan is inappropriate, right?"
¡¡
Historically, the First Emperor of Qin died while on tour. Prime Minister Li Si was afraid of causing chaos in the world, so he did not announce the death of the First Emperor. Instead, he put the body in a car and ordered the team to move on!
It was summer at that time, and Qin Shihuang's corpse soon became rotten and stinky. In order to hide it from others, Li Si and Zhao Gao ordered people to load a basket of abalone on all the accompanying vehicles. The mixture of corpse odor and fish odor was very disturbing. There is no way to identify it!
(The ancients called pickled salted fish abalone, and there is a saying that "you can live in abalone houses for a long time without smelling its smell".)
After returning to Xianyang, Li Si and Zhao Gao announced the news of his death, and then falsely passed on the last edict of the First Emperor and established the incompetent Gu Hai as the second emperor, which also sounded the death knell of the Qin Empire!
Now that Sima Yi said the word "abalone", the other important officials immediately thought of this period of history and shook their heads in opposition:
" First, using abalone can indeed cover up the smell of corpses, but this method has been used by the ancients, and now it is used again and again. Doesn't it clearly tell the world that the Emperor of Wei has passed away? A typical example is that there is no silver three hundred taels in this place!
Second, abalone can only cover up the smell of corpses, but cannot prevent corpses from rotting. If you bring a corpse back to Luoyang City, it will be a crime of disrespect, and you can't explain it to the Queen Mother, the Empress, and the new monarch!
"My lords, you have misunderstood. The plan mentioned by the lower official is not to use abalone to cover up the smell of corpses, but but everyone has heard it"
Sima Yi whispered his solution in a low voice. The other five were dumbfounded. After looking at each other, they all nodded helplessly. There was indeed no other solution.
"Your Majesty, I have offended you so much. I hope your spirit in heaven will not blame me!"
"For the sake of Your Majesty and the interests of the country and the country of Wei, I have no choice but to make this decision. Let's do it!"
¡¡
After finalizing the method, Cao Xiong, Hua Xin, Wang Lang, Jiang Ji, Sima Yi, and Xia Houcheng knelt on the ground, knelt down and saluted Cao Pi's body, and explained repeatedly for a long time, telling the reasons why they had to do this!
&nbsContinue to be a vassal king!
On the contrary, if Cao Xiong doesn¡¯t want to be a vassal king, these two secret letters cannot be sent out. He has to make some ¡®actions¡¯ tonight. Therefore, whether to send or not to send is equivalent to opposing or not?
"What good strategy does Zhongda have, and how sure are you of it?"
Cao Xiong naturally understood the profound meaning. After pondering for a moment, he burned the two secret letters to ashes with a lamp, then tightened his grip on the sword at his waist, signaling his determination to rebel!
There is no way, the temptation of the throne is too great, even if it is dangerous, or even doomed, I have to give it a try!
¡°Only six people currently know about the emperor¡¯s death. As long as these six people work together, they can turn things around!
General Xiahou is related by marriage to Xiaguan, and his father was killed at the hands of Xiao Yi. Xiaguan is confident that he can persuade him to be loyal to the king!
Hua Xin and Wang Lang are both from noble families, and they have always been greedy for glory and wealth. As long as they are promised heavy profits, their subordinates can be sure to persuade them to be loyal to the king!
Only this Jiang Ji, who is upright and has a good personal relationship with Xiao Yi, may not be willing to submit, but his subordinates will work hard to persuade him!
As he spoke, Sima Yi also tightened his grip on the sword at his waist. The implication was that it would be best if he could convince Jiang Ji. If he could not be convinced, then he would use force to solve the problem and seize the imperial edict!
"Okay, Zhongda, work hard, I will never break my promise!"
"My lord, I will obey the king's order!"
Cao Xiong nodded slightly and agreed to the coup plan. Sima Yi knelt down and saluted, calling himself a minister, then stood up and disappeared into the night. Success or failure, tonight, if Xiao Yi is allowed to assist the government, others may have nothing, but the Sima family will definitely have no way of survival. !
