"Bang!"

Sima Yi suddenly fell to his knees on the ground, his head almost touching the board, and his voice was filled with endless humility and loyalty: "I don't dare, I am afraid of my humble position, how can I ask for advice? Please speak frankly, my lord, I know my humble position."

Say nothing!"

Seeing that he looked like he was going to die with all his strength, Cao Pi twitched his lips, but still said calmly: "Now that the emperor has escaped, do you think I can forcefully proclaim myself emperor?"

"This... this is absolutely impossible, my lord!"

This time, Sima Yi's voice was much louder. Almost as soon as the other party finished speaking, he shook his head in opposition without thinking.

"My lord, have you forgotten Yuan...Gong Yuan? Don't say that if you proclaim yourself emperor at this juncture, even if you ascend the throne, you will be ridiculed and abused by the people of the world!"

"Mr. Yuan······"

Cao Pi chewed these two words repeatedly in his mouth. Of course, he would not forget this lesson.

I think back then, Duke Yuan thought that his destiny was coming, so he declared to the world and proclaimed himself emperor. However, in less than a year, he burned himself to announce the end of the matter.

The most important thing is that his self-immolation was a strategy and battle formation personally arranged by his father Cao Cao. In the end, Mr. Yuan was besieged from all sides and attacked in groups. In less than a month, he was defeated and had nowhere to escape.

Cao Pi even remembered that during the last days when Duke Yuan was besieged, he was so anxious to ask for help from everywhere, but unfortunately... no one was willing to pull him out of the brink of collapse.

Not only that, there are many people who have fallen into another trap.

It seems... this plan is really impossible to find!

"If that's the case..."

Cao Pi held the tea cup in his hand, slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then placed the tea cup heavily on the dark ferry with a "bang" sound, and said sternly: "Then I will pursue and kill you at all costs."

Huang Xu and others!"

"Remember, I don't care whether they are dead or alive, but I will never let them escape from the territory!"

"promise!"

······

In the blink of an eye, three days passed by, and Cao Pi led his army to Chang'an, where it was completely settled.

The palaces, government offices, and residences built here...as long as they were luxurious, almost all were taken over by Cao Pi.

Anyway, this place is your own territory, and you have the final say on what you want and what you have?

Furthermore, even if the lord Cao Pi didn't want these things, no one would dare to accept them.

This shows that Cao Pi is still very prestigious in the local area.

This also shows that this place is considered the safest place in Cao Pi's entire territory.

But even in such a safe and stable rear area, he felt restless and restless every day.

In just three days, three officials died in Chang'an City, an average of one per day.

This is in the government office—no!

It should be said that it is the first one in the palace.

In fact, the government office originally established by Cao Pi was not a palace, because the emperor was still there at the time, and he had to give up the palace to Liu Xie even if he wanted to save face.

But it’s different now. The emperor has fled, so what palace do we need?

Therefore, he simply moved his government office in.

After all, a lot of money was spent on building this magnificent palace. It would be a pity not to use it when the emperor is away.

The worst that can happen is that after the emperor comes back, he can let him go.

Anyway, no matter what, he is now truly the most powerful person in the entire Cao Wei Dynasty.

However, the Duke of Wei, who made Chang'an his capital, was somewhat embarrassed and complicated in Chang'an.

The reason is quite simple, just because the three dead officials all happened after he entered the city!

But as the person with the highest authority and even the authority of the administrative agency, he found nothing.

In just a few days, one after another officials were killed at home for no reason.

Not only that, but things were stolen from time to time in the military camp.

We had only been in Chang'an City for a few days, and all the merchants doing business in the city had closed their doors and did not dare to do business or go on business.

The most exaggerated thing is that there are still many rice shop owners who are unwilling to open their doors and make a living even if they let the food rot and insects infest their shops.

Soon, the hearts of the entire city of Chang'an were in a state of panic, and ordinary people were also in panic. Not to mention going out to work, even when they stayed at home, there was an indescribable depression that made them unable to eat and sleep at night.

For some reason, they just felt that ever since Cao Pi established his capital, the entire city of Chang'an seemed to have been shrouded in a layer of fog. They couldn't see the sun or the way out.

Somehow, many people even think that a natural disaster is about to happen here!

In the beginning, this idea just flashed through the minds of some people, but I don’t know when, this idea turned into a rumor and spread throughout Chang’an City!

Cao Pi couldn't suppress him even if he wanted to.

Of course, as far as the current situation is concerned, he doesn't have that much energy to appease the people. After all... he doesn't want to die yet!

Therefore, no matter whether it is the palace or the government office, even the surroundings of the Prime Minister's Mansion where he lives, a large number of soldiers and horses are arranged to guard. A patrol team headed by fifteen generals in the army is stationed here regardless of day and night to ensure that there is no

There will be slight differences.

Some officials with high status and high social status also followed suit and posted many guards around their residences. The presence of these people even seriously affected the deployment and defense of soldiers and horses in the city.

In this way, their hearts felt a lot more stable, but the people became more and more panicked.

Even the high-ranking officials were in such a prepared posture, which obviously meant that the matter was not trivial.

They didn't know which god in the sky had offended and what kind of disaster would befall them, but they knew very well that this matter was inextricably linked to the wave of people who had just entered the city.

As the rumors intensified, Cao Pi became furious.

He was trapped in the palace and did not dare to go out at all. The people in the city were in chaos because of the rumors, and they did not know what the current situation was in the army.

Speaking of which, the reason why he surrounded the palace, government offices, and mansions with so many soldiers and horses was to dig a trap and wait for the people behind the scenes to fall into the trap.

But who would have thought that the other party didn't seem to be interested in high officials or important figures in the city.

From the beginning to now, no one with a name that sounds familiar to Cao Pi has died. Those who lost their lives were all officials the size of sesame seeds and mung beans.

If that were the case, the life and death of those officials would not seem to matter. But the problem is that although those people's official positions are small, they are closely related to civil affairs and people's livelihood.

Cao Pi may not remember their names, but the people know them very well.

That's why their deaths made everyone panic.

Cao Pi didn't seem to be aware of this. To be precise, he should be aware of it, but he didn't pay attention.

Because in his opinion, the solution to this matter is very simple. As long as the person behind the assassination is caught, everything can be solved easily.

But precisely because it was an assassination, without knowing the person behind the scenes, Cao Pi couldn't even send men to arrest him.
