Chapter 56 Cao Pi's abolitionist emperor usurped Liu Nanye's righteous resurgent 4
Read the imperial edict from the Zen world. Cao Pi, the king of Wei, received eight great gifts and ascended the throne. Large and small bureaucrats worshipped under the altar. The name of the year was changed to the first year of Huang Chu, and the national name was Dawei. Cao Pi immediately issued a decree to pardon the world. His father Cao Cao was Emperor Wu.
Dong Zhao said, "There is no two days, and the people have no two masters. Since the Han Emperor meditate on the world, he should have retreated to the territory of the vassals. Your Majesty, please make a decree to place Liu?
When Cao Pi saw that Emperor Liu Xie had knelt down under the altar and waited to hear the order, he was very relieved, so he issued an order to make Liu Xie Duke of Shanyang and ordered him to do it immediately.
Although Liu Xie succeeded to the throne as a puppet emperor, he still held the name of an emperor. Now that he lost the world, thinking that Liu's country was cut off in his own hands, he was imaginable of his loss. For a while, he stood still and did not accept the order to thank him.
When Dong Zhao saw that Liu Xie did not move, he thought that he was unwilling and wanted to make some moths to disturb the Zen ceremony. So he pressed the hilt of the sword and said harshly, "To establish an emperor, abolish an emperor, the ancient way!" Today, I am kind and can't bear to harm. I have made you Shanyang Gong. It's okay today. You are not allowed to enter the court without a call!"
Liu Xie knew that the general trend had gone, and his heartache was useless, so he thanked him with tears and left. Although the people under the altar have no good impression of Liu's emperor who caused chaos in the world, they are still sad to think that they have changed from Han to Wei after changing the dynasty.
Cao Pi looked at Liu Xie's unwilling back to leave and suddenly thought that when Shun and Yu succeeded to the throne, he was not afraid that his predecessors were willing to give in, but because of the future generations forced the palace. He couldn't help sighing: "I know about Shun and Yu!"
When all the officials saw Cao Pi ascended the throne by Zen, they all shouted long live. Cao Pi worshipped heaven and earth in front of the Zen altar, and then received congratulations from his ministers. Officials, big and small, are rewarded one by one.
Cao Pi established himself as the emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the construction of a palace in Ye City spread all over the world for a while. Sima Yi, who guarded Liaodong, couldn't help sighing when he heard the news: "The king of Wei acted like this, and chaos has resumed!"
The news reached Liu Bei and Sun Quan's ears, which was a little out of shape. It was said that Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of Han, was awarded the title of Duke of Shanyang, and Liu Xie had been killed by Cao Pi. Liu Bei and Sun Quan have detailed works in Yecheng. Naturally, they know that Liu Xie is not dead. However, for the two, the news of Liu Xie's death is more beneficial. One is that they can send troops to fight against Cao Pi on the grounds of killing the king, and the other is that Liu Xie's death of the royal family and Liu Bei and Sun Quan can emulate Cao Pi to become emperor.
Liu Bei and Sun Quan coincidentally chose to believe the rumor that Liu Xie had died, and all ordered all the officials to hang up filial piety and set up sacrifices from afar. Liu Bei cried all day long. At the time of the sacrifice, he gave Liu Xie'an, who was not dead, a nickname called "Emperor of Filial Piety".
After the sacrifice, Liu Bei gathered a group of ministers in the hall to discuss: "Cao Pi killed the king and usurped. I want to send troops to fight against it. What do you think?"
Xun Xun came out of the class and said, "The Lord's words are also true! It's just that there is one thing more important than sending troops to fight against rebellion.
Liu Bei asked, "I don't know what you said?"
Xun said, "Cao Pi killed the king and claimed the throne, which is not a good name. However, there can be no king in the world for a day. Since the predecessor has been killed, the king of Guanzhong will ascend the throne to succeed to the Han Dynasty. Then send troops to fight against rebellion, and the name is right.
Liu Bei shook his head when he heard the words and said, "This move is no different from Cao Pi. Do you want to trap me in the land of unfaithfulness and injustice?"
Guan Yu said, "Brother's words are not good! Cao Pi usurped Han and became independent, and his brother was a descendant of the Han Dynasty. He should continue to extend Han sacrifices.
Zhang Fei said at the same time, "What the second brother said! Then Cao Pi is the emperor, why can't his brother do it?"
Sun Qian also said, "Today, the emperor of Han has been executed by Cao Pi. It is unfaithful for the lord not to succeed to the throne and rise up rebellion. People all over the world want to be the king and hate the emperor for filial piety. If you don't follow the comments of my ministers, you will lose the people's expectations.
Liu Bei listened to the persuasion of the officials and did not say anything, but looked at Zhuge Liang, who did not say a word. Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei look and shook his head slightly. Liu Bei suddenly changed his color and said, "Although I am the grandson of Emperor Jing, I have no virtue in the people. Once you become emperor, what's the difference between usurpization and theft? Isn't it imitating the traitor?" After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and returned to the house.
When Wenwu saw the situation, they had to disperse. When Zhang Fei saw everyone going down to the hall, he grabbed Zhuge Liang who was walking at the end and said sullenly, "We all advised each other. Why did the military division shake his head and say nothing? Is it that the military saga doesn't want his brother to be emperor?
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Three generals, don't worry! Whether he is emperor or not depends on God's will. If you don't have God's will, what's the benefit of being emperor today and being defeated tomorrow?
Guan Yu just left behind and didn't leave, just to hear Zhuge Liang's opinions. At this time, when Zhuge Liang moved out of God's will, he couldn't help frowning and staring, "God's will is unpredictable. How can the military division know that his brother is not God's will?"
Zhuge Liang said, "Although God's will is unpredictable, there are people who can see God's will. If this person does not move, the lord will act recklessly and will suffer!"
Zhang Fei let go of Zhuge Liang and said strangely, "I don't know who knows God's will?"
Zhuge Liang's eyes were full of light and said, "Guanghua Master of Jiaozhou can know God's will."
In recent years, Nanye has written a book in Jiaozhou that although his reputation is better than before, he has been guarding the land and has not been involved in any war. This made Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two generals who only care about the war situation, almost forget the existence of Nan Ye.
At this time, when Zhuge Liang mentioned it, Zhang Fei smiled and said, "I heard that the national teacher has been writing newspapers in Jiaozhou in recent years, accompanying his wife and concubines, and taking care of his children. He has long been no longer as sharp as before. When Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao became emperors, the soldiers and horses of the national division arrived early. Wherever they went, they were invincible and invincible. They really meant to walk for heaven. What can the national teacher do now peep at God's will?"
When Guan Yu heard Zhang Fei's words, he suddenly realized something and said in a cold sweat and said, "The meaning of the military division is that the Guanghua National Division is going to imitate the king of Chuzhuang this time?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The national teacher has long been famous all over the world, so why should he imitate King Zhuang? It's just that you have heard a lot about the literary talent of the national teacher in recent years, and you have forgotten the brave name of the national teacher!"
Zhang Fei's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "The military division said that the Guanghua National Division will send troops to fight against Cao Pi?" Zhang Fei was more enthusiastic about sending troops to war than Liu Bei's claim to be emperor. In his opinion, it was also a pleasure to fight against Cao Pi with Nan Ye, no less than Liu Bei's claim to the throne.
Zhuge Liang shook his head and sighed, "This is God's will! If the national teacher wants to conquer Cao Pi, he must go to the land of Lord or Sun Quan. If the lord wants to imitate Cao Pi to be emperor, the national division may first come to fight against the lord, and then attack Cao Pi. In this way, the lord can't be emperor. On the contrary, if the national teacher has lost his spirit and does not want to fight against Cao Pi, he also wants to be the emperor and continue to protect the people. The lord can rest assured to be the emperor, and then attack Cao Pi. You don't have to worry about the enemy.
Guan Yu frowned and asked, "How can the military division know the meaning of the national division?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "The three generals are right to say that the national teacher is addicted to writing newspapers. I will know as soon as I see."
As soon as the words fell, a bodyguard ran to the front of the hall and bowed and saluted, "The king of Guanzhong invited the military division and two generals to enter the house and said that there was something important to discuss."
Zhuge Liang and the other three were shocked when they heard the words and did not dare to delay. They went straight to Liu Bei's residence. When he entered the door, he saw Liu Bei sitting on the couch, holding a newspaper in his hand and frowned.
Liu Bei heard the sound of footsteps, so he stopped staring at the newspaper and raised his head. After everyone sat down, Liu Bei handed the newspaper to Zhuge Liang and said, "This is the new newspaper. Mr. Kong Ming, please read it."
Zhuge Liang took over the newspaper, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also came over. They saw a few big words on the front page of the newspaper, "Cao Pi's deposed emperor usurped Yan Liu, will the national division build troops?"
The specific content of the three people will look forward, which is the specific process of how Cao Pi killed Empress Fu and forced Emperor Liu Xiechan to give in. One by one is as convincing as seen with your own eyes. And there is a comment behind each paragraph. For example, when talking about the Empress Fu, he inserted a poem from Nan Ye: "Cao Pi has nothing in the ferocious world, and how loyal he is. The poor queen is not as separated as a civilian woman and husband!" I also saw a paragraph written on the palace: "The treacherous tycophant autocratary Han Dynasty died, and the Zen position was equivalent to Yu Tang. All the people in the Man Dynasty respected Wei, and only saw the loyal minister Fu Baolang.
At the end of the article, the author said in a questionable tone: "...Now Cao Pi usurped the throne and demoted the former emperor to the Duke of Shanyang. At the end of this Han sacrifice, will the national teacher fight against the rebellion as before? If the national division dispatches troops, are you willing to follow and fight for justice together?
Zhang Fei read this article and ended with a question. He couldn't help wondering, "What does the national teacher mean? Is it going to send troops or not?
Guan Yu said, "Why do you have to ask so much? From beginning to end, Cao Pi is called the thief of the usurper, praising the loyalty of Fu Wan and Zu Bi. Although it ends with a question, it actually inspires the military and civilians to fight against thieves.
Liu Bei heard the words and said, "That's what Yun Chang said! What do you think I should wait for?"
Zhuge Liang has been silent since reading this article. He hasn't left a copy of the newspaper he has handed over to the state over the years. Every time he reads it, he marveled at Nanye's talent. Zhuge Liang is also an extremely arrogant person who can compare himself with Guan Zhong Leyi and will not easily convince others. However, he had to obey Nanye. Zhuge Liang was shocked by the talent shown in Nanye's poetry and various decrees published by Nanye through newspaper publicity. Nan Ye's means of building momentum through newspapers alone made Zhuge Liang sincerely admire him.
Zhuge Liang, who is familiar with Nan Ye's propaganda techniques, saw at a glance that this article was a pre-war mobilization order, which could make the soldiers and civilians fight against Cao. Don't think that the ancients did not understand the importance of public opinion propaganda, which is mentioned in the five things of Sun Tzu's Art of War: heaven, earth, Tao, general and law. Heaven refers to the time, the earth refers to the land, the general refers to the general, the law refers to the military law, and this way refers to morality. Only when they are famous and make the people believe that they are the righteous side can the military and the people be one and have high morale. No one can do this better than Nanye.
What surprised Zhuge Liang was that he did not claim that Liu Xie was dead in this article, let alone build momentum for Nanye's accession to the throne. This made Zhuge Liang puzzled. Is there really a prince in the world who does not want to be emperor? Or does Nan Ye really care about the Han Dynasty?
Liu Bei rarely met Zhuge Liang's hesitation during the discussion, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with Mr. Kong Ming?"
Zhuge Liang listened to Liu Bei's name, so he put aside his doubts and said, "There is no doubt about the dispatch of the national division. The newspaper made it clear that the former emperor was still dead. The lord must not succeed to the throne at this time, and the envoy should discuss the dispatch of troops with the national division.
