Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 634 List
Hearing the recommendation of the two, Cao Shuang, who was eating melons, was stunned for a moment. He thought he was only assisting Minister Tuogu, but he didn't expect that Minister Tuogu would fall on him.

Hearing Cao Rui's confirmation, for a while, Cao Shuang didn't slow down and froze.

Liu Fang, who was beside him, stepped on Cao Shuang's foot, and Cao Shuang reacted, knelt down and said: "I will do my best for the great Wei, so as to protect the country forever."

Cao Rui glanced at Cao Shuang, then asked, "What should Sima Yi do? Can it be used?"

"Your Majesty, I feel that the current situation is uneasy, and Cao Wuwei alone can't stop it. Sima Yi is loyal and pure. He is the elder of the three dynasties. I am the pillar of Wei, and we need him to stop the bandits in Western Shu. It is better to let him assist Cao Wuwei, the director, To ensure that King Qi ascends the throne smoothly." Sun Zi suggested.

In fact, despite the fact that it was an open question to ask Tuogu's head and assistant earlier, in fact, Sun Zi and Liu Fang had a very narrow range of choices. Only people with the surnames Cao and Xiahou could be the head of the trusteeship ministers.If you recommend Sima Yi, it is basically the wrong answer.

Only after confirming the candidates for Tuogu's head and assistant, can the other Tuogu ministers who assist Tuogu's head and assistant be confirmed, so it is the right time to recommend Sima Yi at this time.

Cao Rui nodded, and said weakly: "In this case, I ordered Sima Yi to join the army, thinking that it is a matter of defending the southern border."

"promise!"

Seeing that Cao Rui was about to rest again, the three left and left.Not long after no one left, the attendants outside the tent shouted: "Your Majesty, Princess Dongxiang is asking to see you."

As soon as Xia Houxian entered the account, he plopped and knelt down crying, "Your Majesty, did An Neng choose Sima Yi as the Minister of Tuogu? Although Cao Shuang is humble, he is lenient and difficult to lead the overall situation. Sima Yi is treacherous and ruthless. Therefore, when the king of Qi ascended the throne, if Sima Yi harbored evil intentions, how could Cao Shuang decide Sima Yi?"

"promise!"

Cao Rui braced himself and shouted, "Xuan."

"promise!"

Cao Rui sighed, and let Cao Ling enter Shu, calling it a good relationship between the two countries, but it was actually begging for a sister to surrender, which was extremely embarrassing.But with the current situation, Cao Rui really can't think of a better way to temporarily quell the war between the two countries and transfer the front of the Shu Han to Soochow.

As soon as he entered the account, he threw himself on Cao Rui and cried, saying, "I haven't seen you for a few months, why is my brother so haggard, so that he is no longer as handsome as before."

Cao Ling bit her cherry lips, still unable to accept sacrificing herself in exchange for the peace of the two countries.And if she could estimate with the naked eye that she would inevitably suffer humiliation after entering Shu, how could she be willing to do so?
Although she is Cao Wei's clan and always puts the overall situation first, she needs to exchange for the pain of the rest of his life, how can she accept it in a short time.

During the period when Cao Rui was seriously ill, the candidates for Minister Tuogu changed several times. Looking at the changes in Sima Yi's list, you can know how fierce the secret war was.

After being silent for a long time, Cao Rui said truthfully: "Xiangfan is still in the hands of our Great Wei, and several cities to the south of Xiangfan have been occupied by the Eastern Wu. Therefore, I will use 20 yuan from the four counties of Xiangyang, Nanyang, Yiyang, and Nanxiang. The common people sent Ling'er to Shu as a dowry, and implemented the strategy of diverting disasters to the east, causing Shu and Wu to fight each other, and weary the soldiers of Shu to restore the country's vitality."

Cao Ling stopped talking, and with her wisdom, she completely understood Cao Rui's arrangement.

Cao Rui looked at the figure of his younger sister, feeling both pain and resentment in his heart. Now he really wanted to go back to the beginning of his first ascension to the throne, to stifle the rise of the Shu Han.

After finishing writing, Liu Fang brought Yuxi again, dragged Cao Rui's hand with both hands, and covered it.

Cao Ling touched her tears with an embroidered handkerchief, and said, "If my elder brother recovers, Ling is willing to marry."

After Sun Zi got the imperial edict, he hurried out of the account, grabbed the attendant, and asked him to pass the imperial edict to Sima Yi in a hurry.On the other hand, Liu Fang continued to appease Cao Rui on the side of the couch, asking Cao Rui to persevere and show his loyalty.

"Liu Chan?" Cao Ling read a sentence, instantly comprehended Cao Rui's meaning, and said sadly: "Could it be that elder brother married Ling to Western Shu for the purpose of peace negotiation, so that the whole of Shu and Wei would be good?"

However, Cao Ling tried to save Yi Er and said, "Brother, Wei Ziyu is the descendant of the Later Han, and the Shu Han is the younger brother of the Later Han, inheriting the family business of the two Hans. Now that Shu and Wei have been fighting each other for decades, how can Ling'er get married after she gets married?" To appease the anger of the Shu people, even Liu Chan also needs to be afraid of people's words, so Ling fears that it will be difficult for the two countries to unite."

"Although the King of Yan is obedient, as he said, he has no talents and virtues to secure the affairs of the country. Sima Yi won the battle against Western Shu, and Cao Shuang also made meritorious deeds. His Majesty appointed King Yan and others. I am afraid that the western region will be in trouble and the country's affairs will be uncertain. and also."

Hearing this, Cao Rui's chaotic head was agitated again, and he shouted: "Decree, let Sima Yi garrison Yiyang, in case the Shu people invade Luoyang, there is no need to join the army to see me."

"Your Majesty, Xia Houxian, the leading general of our army outside the tent, asks to see you."

Cao Rui panted heavily, his eyes were dim, and he said: "What Liu Qing said is not unreasonable, but I am too tired to hold a pen."

"Ah?" Cao Ling's light red cherry lips parted slightly, and asked, "Who is the elder brother talking about? How can there be such a hero in China?"

Cao Rui relaxed slightly, and murmured: "Send envoys to Shuying to discuss the matter of withdrawing troops and making peace."

Cao Rui lay on the soft cushion and said in a low voice: "Sima Yi is fierce, Cao Shuang is weak and might be difficult to control, what do you think?"

Sun Zi wrote the imperial edict with insight, and sent the pen to Cao Rui. Liu Fang took Cao Rui's hand and wrote on the scarf.

"promise!"

Cao Rui, who closed his eyes, opened them again, propped up his body, and said, "Hurry up, the princess is in the account."

"If it were an absurd king, Zhuge Liang would have been imprisoned and seized power long ago. How could Zhuge Liang be allowed to live beside a king and tolerate his power?"

On the way, Liu Fang said to Sun Zi: "If Xia Houxian, Cao Qing, and Qin Lang are not dismissed, we will not be able to rest in peace. Now we must persuade Your Majesty to appoint Cao Shuang and Sima Yi as Tuogu ministers, and send an order to the Yiyang army. Tell Sima Yi to come to the camp quickly to avoid any changes."

Cao Ling held the handkerchief, interrupted Cao Rui's words, and said with a sneer: "Since my brother said that Liu Chanxiong is a general, how could he not see the current situation? Could it be that my brother thinks that a mere woman can retreat the soldiers of the Shu people. Not to mention whether Ling With the beauty of Daji and Baosi, Liu Chan is not comparable to Zhou and You."

Cao Ling stood up, shook her head and shied away, and said, "Brother, please rest in peace! If you want to marry me, please surrender, I'm afraid Liu Chan will not be able to agree. If you can agree, Ling'er will definitely put the overall situation first."

Cao Rui ran down the thick black hair of Cao Ling, and said with emotion: "The command is about to come, what's the use of talent and appearance? I only wish I didn't see you wearing red makeup and getting married."

But at the moment, Cao Rui, who was physically weak and mentally exhausted, didn't want to listen anymore, and waved his hand to signal him to step down. He still had to reconsider the candidate for Minister Tuogu.

Liu Fang approached Cao Rui's ear and said, "Your Majesty, this statement is wrong. Cao Shuang is in the prime of life, but Sima Yi is only old and weak. Although he won the battle of Luoshui, he was hit by an arrow. He is this year old. Traveling to Liaodong and Yiyang, it is difficult for him to survive for a long time at his age. Therefore, after the king of Qi ascended the throne, Sima Yi could just assist him for a few years to stabilize the court. After Sima Yi retired, Cao Shuang assisted the king of Qi, just as His Majesty said Si Ye. And Cao Shuang is the master, and Sima Yi is the assistant, so there is no reason for the assistant to seize the master."

After entering the account, Liu Fang and Sun Zi saw that Cao Rui could only lie on the couch at this time, and it was difficult to sit up, so they rushed forward and listened to Cao Rui's words on the side of the couch.

Cao Ling, named Wenming.She is the only daughter of Cao Pi, and has the same father and mother as Cao Rui.I am 25 years old this year. I was married a few years ago, but before we married, my husband died early due to the epidemic.During this period, there were often wars or funerals, but there was never no marriage.In addition, Cao Rui dotes on Cao Ling quite a lot, and he is reluctant to marry her off, so he stays in Luoyang to live.

Xia Houxian wiped his tears and left the camp.And Cao Rui called in Sun Zi and Liu Fang, thinking that they would be the candidates to ask Minister Tuogu.

Sun Zi and Liu Fang were shocked when they heard the words, and hurried to the camp.

"promise!"

Cao Rui coughed a few times, his face flushed, and he said: "Ling'er, I have found someone for you, who is talented, virtuous, and talented, not inferior to me, do you want to marry?"

"From brother's words."

Cao Rui panted and said, "The Shu rebels are in full swing, but I am afraid that I will die soon. If I die in the army, the army will withdraw to the country, and Cao Shuang, Sima Yi and others will assist the young master to move the capital to Yecheng. If you don't ask I am afraid that the situation in our country will be in danger. Therefore, I return Ling'er to Shu, endure humiliation, and serve Liu Chan. Waiting for the stability of our Great Wei Dynasty..."

When a person is about to die, his words are also kind.Cao Rui's current thinking is that Cao Wei can last for a few more years, and don't die in his own hands, otherwise he will have no face to see his father Cao Pi and grandfather Cao Cao.

Xia Houxian saw the success of dissuading Sima Yi, and cried out that he hoped to dismiss Cao Shuang, and reappointed Yan Wang Cao Yu as Minister Tuogu.

I saw a tall, lithe woman in strong clothes entering from outside the tent, and saw Cao Rui's thin body, pale face, and a serious illness.

At the same time, Cao Wei learned from the experience of the Eastern Han Dynasty's foreign relatives and eunuchs' monopoly, that is, let the clan's children be the ministers of Tuogu.In any case, Sima Yi can only serve as a supplement, not as the master.

Cao Rui tilted his head, not daring to look at Cao Ling, and said helplessly, "This person is the false emperor Liu Chan."

Cao Rui stared at the flickering lights in front of him, and said, "Could it be that Ling'er wants to see me and Emperor Wen and Emperor Wu under Jiuyou, and be heartbroken?"

"promise!"

After Liu Fang comforted him for a long time, Cao Rui finally fell asleep with peace of mind.Only then did Liu Fang leave the camp with peace of mind, and said: "Your Majesty is sleeping, and no one is allowed to disturb you."

"No!" The attendant agreed.

You can't relax until everything is settled.
