Cao Cao sat upright in the main seat, and under him, there were already a group of people kneeling down.

At the beginning, Xiahou was the only one who knelt down, but as Xiahou knelt down and asked for his orders, more and more people also knelt down.

Looking around, everyone in the lower head was kneeling.

It was a dark and the scene was quite spectacular.

Such a scene made Cao Chong unable to help but think of four words.

Put on a yellow robe!

Zhao Kuangyin was wearing a yellow robe under the conspiracy of his younger brother Zhao Kuangyi and Zhao Pu. Zhao Kuangyin had to rebel against the Zhou Dynasty and proclaim himself emperor.

At this moment, Cao Cao was guarded by his ministers and relatives, which was very similar to Zhao Kuangyin who was wearing a yellow robe in later generations.

Cao Chong and Cao Pi looked at each other, and the two of them looked like two sharp thorns in the hall, which was particularly obvious.

Neither of them knelt down and asked for his orders.

It’s not that the two of them didn’t want Cao Cao to be the emperor. If Cao Cao became the emperor, Cao Chong’s Marquis of Luoyang might become the King of Luoyang, and Cao Pi’s Marquis of Chang’an might become the King of Chang’an.

For the two people, Cao Cao's proclaimed emperor was naturally beneficial to them.

But it does not mean it is good for Boss Cao, nor does it mean it is good for Wei State.

It is true that in the battle at the beginning of the year, the pro-Han forces were almost wiped out. In the Jiuzhou, those aristocratic families and so-called Han officials, even if they still had the Han Dynasty in their hearts, they did not dare to resist.

How different is it to come out to resist at this time?

There is no difference at all!

So in theory, even if Cao Cao ascended to Dabao, he would not be opposed by the opposition.

Even if there is, the resistance force is very weak, and Cao Cao can basically turn it into dust without any effort.

But without others stopping it does not mean that this matter is beneficial to Cao Cao.

First of all, although Cao Cao is the King of Wei and not the emperor, his every move is in the emperor's specifications. He is said to be not the emperor, but who has the power to be greater than his in the land of Jiuzhou?

No one!

Boss Cao is now the most powerful man in Jiuzhou.

In this way, even if Cao Cao becomes emperor, he will only get a false reputation and will not get real benefits.

On the contrary, there are still some losses.

The so-called loss is that after Cao Cao ascended the throne, he must reward him according to his merits and also have to be amnesty for the whole world.

This is a huge loss.

Like Cao Chong and Cao Pi, as well as his many sons, they may be crowned kings by themselves, and those relatives naturally have to yell at these things.

If they don’t give it to them, then they will follow their own life and death. Wouldn’t Boss Cao let down their kindness?

But if they were given official titles or even kings, what would the result be?

Now they are all happy, but what should our descendants do?

Will they become the successors who will constrain themselves?

There are so many disadvantages of inheriting the throne, and Cao Chong feels that Cao Cao will most likely not agree.

He was a Han minister. If he became an emperor, he would become a rioter. His descendants usurped the throne, and historical evaluations were another story.

What's more, if Boss Cao does not choose to ascend the throne at this time, it can also allow the latecomers to quickly establish their majesty.

The reason why Cao Pi was able to command the Wei Kingdom as solid as a rock and launched several wars to conquer Wu was not only because he used the ninth-rank official method to get the support of the aristocratic families, but more because Cao Pi was the first emperor.

The first emperor, who was founded for a dynasty, contained majesty itself.

If Cao Cao became the emperor now, then Cao Chong or Cao Pi became the emperor would be just a successor. If you want to establish authority, you have to go through a struggle like Cao Rui.

Cao Chong and Cao Pi looked at each other, and the two of them did not move any other things. They seemed to be thinking about some philosophical issues while sitting on them.

The two of them were waiting for Cao Cao's answer, while Xiahou and others were also waiting for Cao Cao's answer.

Not long after, Cao Cao, who was sitting in the main seat, coughed twice. He glanced at Cao Pi, and then fixed his eyes on the rows of people kneeling on His Highness.

"You guys, be careful, I don't want to listen to this matter again."

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Cao Chong did not relax his vigilance.

His Highness Xiahou and others did not get up because of a word from Boss Cao.

For example, the ancient dynasty changes were not directly overthrown by violence, there was probably a procedure.

Just like later generations, Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, they all required a procedure.

Judging from the records in historical books, the relationship between Cao Pi and Liu Xie was quite "harmonious".

It can be said that all the statements about Cao Pi bullying Emperor Xian of Han were "intelligent".

For example, Cao Pi "didn't want to" be the emperor at all, but Liu Xie felt from the heart that the Han Dynasty was about to end and the Cao family was of great merit, so he prepared to abdicate the throne to Cao Pi and ask his censor Zhang Yin to send the jade seal to Cao Pi.

When Cao Pi saw this attitude, he refused repeatedly and refused to accept the jade seal.

The ministers below persuaded each other and said all the good things, and Cao Pi still said righteously: My virtue is far worse than Shun and Yu, and I really dare not accept the abdication.

When Liu Xie heard this, he issued another edict saying: Countless miracles have proved that my great man has been abandoned by God. So I give up my throne to you to follow the destiny of heaven! If you know, you must not violate the destiny of heaven!

After receiving the order, Cao Pi sighed "depressedly": "Why are you eager to do this?" God! The earth! Why do you have to force me so much? It seems that I have to resign and retire to escape this "compulsive".

When Liu Xie heard this, he was rejected again, he quickly issued another edict saying: King Wei, what's the situation? Do you know what it means to "achieve great things without paying attention to the details"? Look at Yao's abdication to Shun, did Shun postpone it? Why can't you learn from the saints? I asked Zhang Yin to take the jade seal again, and you must not postpone it again!

As a result, Cao Pi still refused to submit and said: I really can't compare with Shun and Yu! When they accepted the abdication, they made great contributions, but what about me? I haven't achieved any achievements now, so how can I be embarrassed to be the emperor?

When the ministers below heard this, they all said, "What does it mean to be a lack of merit?" After you became the King of Wei, you were wise and powerful, loved the people as your son, and your politics were clear and the people lived in peace. Our Great Wei is thriving, and all kinds of miracles emerge one after another. Isn't this your merit?"

Finally, Cao Pi was "ruleless" and said: Well, "The destiny of heaven cannot be rejected, and the people cannot be disobeyed." Liu Xie immediately struck while the iron was hot and issued an edict: This is right for the King of Wei! I devoted myself to learning from the great Emperor Yao, but I was always defeated by you, which made me very embarrassed! Now I ask the servant who guarded the Shangshu Ling to notify you, and quickly succeed to the throne and fulfill my wish!

Finally, Cao Pi finally ascended the throne "unable to do so" and highly praised Liu Xie. He was named Duke of Shanyang, with 10,000 households in the town. He used the ceremony of worshiping the heavens to the emperor, and wrote a letter without having to surrender.

Although this operation is hypocritical, it is something that has to be done in the change of dynasties.

Only when this hypocritical superficial work is done can the change of dynasties be given a name and can we say that we are orthodox.

And only when the roots are correct will no longer be rebellious in the later period.

So Xiahou knelt on the ground and kowtowed again. The sound of kowtowing was very loud, and Xiahou's voice was even louder.

"I beg the king to inherit the throne, otherwise, if I say such words, how can I stay in the world? If the king does not agree, I will kowtow to death in the palace."

As soon as Xiahou finished speaking, he immediately started to startle waves of ripples below.

"If the king does not agree, we will kowtow to death in the palace."

Cao Cao frowned, but his voice seemed to be sighing.

"Everyone, why is this?"

No rejection!

Xiahou immediately became energetic, and Cao Chong and Cao Pi's face were mostly shocked.

Cao Cao didn't refuse!

Does the father really want to ascend to the throne?
Chapter completed!
