Chapter 557: Liu He Feng Wang

At this time, Liu He did, as Sima Yi expected, in order to appease Dian Wei and Zang Ba, appointed Dian Wei as the leader of the Central Army, Zang Ba as the General of Pingdong, and led the governor of Xuzhou from afar, and issued an order to ask Dian Wei to recruit 20,000 Iron Salvage Army and allocate 10,000 spearmen to Zang Ba, so that they could prepare for their troops and train well. When they were successful in training, they led their troops to attack Xuzhou.

After that, Liu He wrote a memorial, claiming that Cao Pi was powerful and powerful in the emperor, deposed and established the empress, and massacred ministers, and was extremely guilty. He asked the emperor for an order, mobilized 300,000 troops to come to Xuzhou, massacred the treacherous party, and shared the worries of the emperor.

After receiving Liu He's memorial, Emperor Xian was moved and burst into tears. He really wished he could sign the "Agree" imperial edict immediately. However, the eunuch sent by Cao Pi to monitor was staring at him. Hua Xin, a member of Cao Pi's party, would never send the imperial edict. So he forcibly resisted the impulse in his heart and wrote all this against his will on the memorial because of the wrong words of Queen Fu and the ministers, and praised Liu He's loyalty.

Liu He's memorial soon reached Cao Pi. After hearing the news, Cao Pi was shocked and sweated. Sima Yi's words were unfortunately spoken. Fortunately, he sent more people to the emperor in advance. Otherwise, once the emperor wrote the word "ke" on it, he would probably be faced with a catastrophe soon.

Although he usually disdained Liu He, Cao Pi knew deeply about the gap between his side and Liu He's army, so he was so afraid when he heard that the other side was about to attack him.

This also made Cao Pi firmly support Sima Yi's determination to fight against Japan in the east. As long as he fled to Japan and became king there, he would no longer have to be threatened by Liu He.

Fortunately, Cao Pi had corresponding means. Following Sima Yi's guidance, he immediately submitted a letter to the emperor and recommended Liu He as the King of Qin. Liu He was originally a relative of the Han Dynasty, and even if he was named king, it would not violate the laws of his ancestors. Moreover, Liu He had a huge power under his command, and the emperor wanted to use this to win him over and help him deal with Cao Pi. Naturally, he agreed happily and immediately issued an edict to enthrone Liu He as the King of Qin, allowing the opening of the palace and adding nine tins.

There is an essential difference between the throne of the founding palace and the throne of the founding palace in ancient times. Simply put, allowing the establishment of officials means allowing the establishment of officials, which means that there is real power. If the founding palace is just a reputation title and no real power.

"Add nine tin" is also an honor. The so-called "nine tin" refers to nine kinds of ritual instruments, including chariots, horses, clothes, music, red houses, harems, tigers, axes, bows, arrows, and turtles. These nine kinds of ritual instruments represent the objects given to be virtuous, able to comfort the people, and can make the people harmonious. There are many people, able to advance good, retreat evil, conquer unrighteousness, and punish guilt. These nine virtues or talents are the highest courtesy the emperor gave to ministers. In previous history, Wang Mang received nine tins and founded the new dynasty, which means that those who were added nine tins may threaten the rule of the dynasty.

Cao Pi gave Liu He "added nine tins" not only to win over Liu He, but also to put Liu He on the fire to roast him.

Therefore, after the imperial court sent envoys to Chang'an, Liu He accepted the title of the king's title, but refused the honor of "adding nine tins".

In his opinion, with the power and status he now has, there is no difference between adding Jiushi or not. Instead, some people will label them as "usurpation" by them, so the harm is more harmful than good, and it is better not to have anything.

While talking to the envoy, Liu He specifically asked the emperor, including his diet and daily life, which made the envoy feel uneasy, afraid of picking something wrong from it, but he did not dare not answer, so he had to say it according to the facts. Fortunately, Liu He didn't say anything, but just asked him to send a message, hoping that the emperor would take good care of his health and stop saying anything.

After accepting the enthronement, Liu He submitted a letter to the emperor, enthrone his wife Huang Yueying as queen, and his son Liu Yu as crown prince. He also granted all concubines such as Qiao, Cai Zhaoji, Sun Shangxiang, Ma Yunlu, Wang Yi, and Lu Lingqi as wives, and at the same time rewarded the civil and military ministers under his command.

Liu He appointed Xun Yu as the Minister of State, Guan Ning as the Grand Tutor, Guo Jia as the Grand Marshal, Xun You as the Left Pushe, Zhong Yao as the Right Pushe, Chen Qun, Jia Xu, Liu Ye, and Lu Su as the Shizhong. Other civil and military personnel had their own appointments. The whole country was thrilled for a while and the people celebrated together.

The envoy was worried for a few days, and finally returned to Xuzhou to report in detail to Cao Pi what he saw and heard about this enthronement.

"Did Liu He actually refuse the reward of "Add Jiuxi"?" Cao Pi was surprised when he heard the messenger's report. He didn't expect that there were people in this world who were so noble and didn't even have the power to deliver to his door. However, he was also a prince after all, and he was also familiar with power. After a little thought, he understood Liu He's intention and sighed softly: "Is this Liu He really an ordinary person? He can easily see through my intentions. But to be honest, there are definitely no fewer people in this world who can see through my intentions, but there are absolutely no more people who can withstand such great temptations. At least in this regard, I am definitely not as good as him. Alas, this person is really not simple. It is absolutely not unfair to all the princes in the world who are defeated by him."

After hearing that Liu He asked the emperor about food, clothing, housing and transportation, Cao Pi's heart was even more thrilling. He could not guess Liu He's intention to do so, for fear that Liu He would seize his handle and cause another attack.

Although he rejected the honor of "adding nine tins", Liu He was also able to find an excuse to "clear the emperor's side". It was precisely because he refused to add nine tins that Liu He would not be suspected of having any "ambitions" when he attacked him.

So, Cao Pi repeatedly asked the envoy, Liu He asked something, and he said something again. Until the envoy repeated it more than ten times, he found that there was no more missing, so he asked the envoy to retreat.

"What does Liu He mean? He particularly focused on asking the emperor's daily life. Do he hope that the emperor can eat well and have more women to accompany him or hope that the emperor can't eat well and there are fewer women to accompany him? This is really a big trouble. Why can't I guess his intentions? What if what I did not match his mind and he found an excuse to attack him, then what should I do? Sima Zhongda is not here, and the Taishan bandits were dragged to attack Japan by him. Now there is only more than 20,000 troops in our country, which is not enough for him to get stuck in his teeth?"
