Chapter 455: Emperor Luo Jiu
Luo Jiu leaned over to take a look and saw three big characters written in the place of the name: Luo Wuzhao.
Well, it is destiny and the child is born to be an emperor.
Talent is the scarcest thing in the world. After Luo Jiu recruited talented people, he suddenly found that everything was so smooth, whether fighting a war or governing the country.
The general is invincible, and the counselors come up with only good and better strategies. She only needs to select talents, avoid foreseeable risks, grasp the general direction, and she will naturally prosper.
Three years later, most of the princes had been annihilated by the Chang'an army, leaving only Cao Cao and the emperor he held hostage trapped in Xuchang. The surrounding area was all Luo Jiu's territory. In the past, Cao Cao could still say that he was good at killing people in his dreams, but now he didn't even dream because he couldn't sleep at all.
But he really couldn't figure it out. He felt that every step he took was right, but he kept losing. How did he end up like this? He really couldn't figure it out.
That night, he was tossing and turning on the couch, feeling that something was wrong in the room. When he turned around, he saw someone coming in through the window.
"Who?"
"I am Fubao."
The soldiers outside were about to come in, but Cao Cao thought it was useless for them to come in, so he said hurriedly, "Nothing, I'm just talking to my friend for a while, please don't disturb me."
Fu Bao smiled and said, "I'm here to deliver a letter for my mistress."
Cao Cao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and opened the letter to read it. Fubao sat aside and ate snacks and drank tea.
Cao Cao became more and more angry. Luo Jiu persuaded him to surrender in a letter, meaning: If I wanted to fight you, I would have fought you a long time ago. I didn't fight you just for now. If you surrender to me, I will give you a high position and generous salary, but I need you to do me a favor...
He had just finished reading when Fu Bao reached out, "My mistress said to burn it after reading."
"Alas." Cao Cao sighed helplessly.
Soon after, Luo Jiu received news that Cao Cao had proclaimed himself emperor. Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, abdicated to Cao Cao, who established the Wei Kingdom.
When the news came, Xun Yu, Liu Bei and other Han ministers all beat their chests and kowtowed their heads, or even cried loudly, because the Han Dynasty was doomed.
The logic of dynasty change is that if the emperor is killed, his successor can be found, no matter how distant the relative is, there will always be someone alive. But abdication means ending the dynasty, and others will establish a new country. Doesn't that mean the Han Dynasty is doomed?
Xun Yu immediately advocated attacking Xuchang and killing Cao Cao, saying that we were afraid to attack before because he held the emperor in his hands, so it was inconvenient for us to attack. Now that he has driven the emperor away, we should attack.
Luo Jiu agreed and sent troops immediately. Just as the troops were gathering, the envoys from Wei arrived and said, "The King of Wei heard that the Marquis of Luo was furious and is willing to surrender."
If you surrender, you naturally can't fight. This was the strategy that Luo Jiu and Cao Cao had agreed upon before. But it must be said that Cao Cao did it on purpose. He surrendered so quickly, fearing that others would not notice the problem.
At that time, Xun Yu, Liu Bei and others immediately advised that after Cao Cao was captured, the Han emperor should be restored.
Old ministers such as Chen Gong and Jia Xu took the lead in opposing, and reckless men such as Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Lu Bu started shouting directly at the meeting.
Xu Chu: "If Cao Cao could become the emperor, why can't our mistress become the emperor?"
Dian Wei: "These thirteen states were conquered by our mistress and me. Why should we give them to the Han emperor?"
Lü Bu, wearing a shining golden hoop, directly launched a personal attack: "Liu Xuande, you big-eared thief, are you reluctant to give up your status as the emperor's uncle? It's okay that Xun Yu is old and confused, but I think you are just selfish!"
Zhang Fei: "Four surnames slave, can you say one more sentence?"
Lu Bu: "You pig butcher and wine seller, would you like to try my Fang Tian Hua Ji?"
"Alright." Luo Jiu slammed the table, and everyone immediately stopped talking. "We'll discuss this another day."
After a while, Wu Zhao followed Luo Jiu inside for a secret talk.
Wu Zhao said: "Just now I saw Zhao Yun, Sun Ce and other generals did not say a word, I think they are indifferent to my mother's enthronement. As for Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, Sun Quan and others, I have privately inquired about their opinions, and they all support my mother's enthronement.
Cai Xueshi has made a great contribution. Since the monthly report was changed to a weekly report last year, she has set up a column for her mother to record her wise decisions. The people's support for her mother far exceeds that of the Han emperor, and they often refer to her as a "wise ruler". With the support of the people, Xun Yu, Liu Bei and others are not a concern, but some obstacles need to be removed in terms of form. "
Luo Jiu said: "I knew this would happen, I asked your sister to come."
That night, Fubao sneaked into Cao Cao's bedroom without anyone noticing and woke him up.
Cao Cao was startled. Fubao said, "There is a letter for you."
Cao Cao secretly gritted his teeth and swallowed a hundred curse words. After reading the letter, Cao Cao wanted to curse even more.
Cao Cao complained: "Sister Luo has bullied me too much."
Fu Bao: "Just tell me, do you agree or not?"
A few days later, Cao Cao opened the city and surrendered, and Luo Jiu led the people to participate in the surrender ceremony.
There were dozens of coffins behind Cao Cao. Feng Qi asked hurriedly, "What does this mean? Are the coffins empty or are there people in them?"
Cao Cao said: "Each coffin is filled with people, including Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty and dozens of Han royal family members."
"Ah?" Liu Bei was so frightened that he fell off his horse. He rushed over to support the coffin and cried.
Xun Yu said angrily: "Cao Aman, who told you to do this?"
Cao Cao laughed, "No one asked me to do this, but since I surrender sincerely, I will naturally clear the obstacles for my lord. How can we welcome the new king if the remnants of the previous dynasty are not eliminated?"
Cao Cao knelt down after saying this, "Madam, you have pacified the world and unified the country. Your achievements surpass those of the Three Sovereigns and your virtues are known to the Five Emperors. Today, the people of the world support you. Madam, you should be crowned as the emperor and benefit the world. Cao Cao dares to make a suggestion. Please follow the will of heaven and the people and ascend the throne."
When Wu Zhao heard this, she immediately said, "Please mother, follow the will of heaven and the people's wishes and ascend the throne."
Cheng Yaoyao immediately led a group of civil officials to petition: "Madam, please follow the will of heaven and the people and ascend the throne."
Feng Qi frantically took out his cell phone and led the generals to dismount and ask for orders: "Madam, please follow the will of heaven and the people and ascend the throne."
Liu Bei was still there, holding the coffin and crying, while Xun Yu looked pale and said nothing.
Luo Jiu looked at the people who were asking for permission. She was annoyed by those hypocritical behaviors of making excuses and said decisively, "Approved."
Everyone was overjoyed and shouted in unison: "Long live, long live, long live!"
The next day, the ministers immediately drafted various proposals and discussed the country's name, reign title, personal rewards, etc.
Luo Jiu looked through the memorial presented to him and ticked the name of the country recommended by Cai Wenji, Huà, and changed the era name to Yong'an.
Luo Jiu appointed Cao Cao to the sinecure of the Minister of Rites and asked him to organize the enthronement ceremony. Cao Cao led people to set up the imperial carriage, build the altar, and write the sacrificial text himself.
Cheng Yaoyao looked at the memorial Cao Cao presented and said with a smile, "I almost forgot that he was also a writer."
Luo Jiu took it and looked at it. "It was so well organized. I'm afraid he has gone through these procedures hundreds of times in his mind, but he has gone through them for himself."
Cao Mengde cried secretly: Your Majesty is truly my confidant, yes, this is the coronation ceremony in my dream, woooo.
On an auspicious day, Luo Jiu ascended the altar to offer sacrifices, announced to the heavens and earth, and ascended the throne to be emperor, with the name of Emperor Gaozu Shengming Emperor Luo Jiu.
All the civil and military officials knelt down and paid homage, "Long live the Holy Emperor!"
After the worship, the Master of Ceremonies Cao Cao presided over the ceremony and entered the next step, which was to enfeoff meritorious officials.
Wu Zhao was made the Crown Princess and regent.
Feng Qi was named King Wu, Cheng Yaoyao was named King Xian, Zhong Jialing was named King Yong, and Fu Bao was named King Fu and the most powerful general in the world (at her own request).
Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Sun Ce were named the Five Tiger Generals, and Ma Chao, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others were named generals.
Chen Gong was made prime minister, Jia Xu and Xun Yu were vice prime ministers. Cai Wenji was made minister of education, Guo Jia was made minister of war, Diao Chan was made minister of women... all the officials, big and small, were promoted and rewarded. A general amnesty was declared, and the army and people of Hua State were all delighted.
Soon after, Wu Zetian said, "Although the Queen Mother is gracious and Xun Yu, Liu Bei and others are also very dedicated in their work, I see that they are still unhappy."
Luo Jiu smiled and said, "I know why they are unhappy. They think I instructed Cao Cao to kill the Han emperor. Bring them to the courtyard and meet Liu Xie, and they will understand. By the way, there are many things to do in the country these days, so I can't leave. How is the Water Margin?"
