Chapter 1937 Where is the most suitable place to move the capital
Sima Yi and others were outside the main entrance.
Cao Shu walked out with Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao, and Sima Yi came forward.
He bowed without saying anything to each other, and Cao Shu nodded and walked directly past him.
The guards had already brought the horses.
After turning on the horse, Cao Shu greeted everyone and walked towards Xun Yu's residence first.
Sima Yi and others followed him.
Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao always had embarrassment on their faces.
Especially Zhu Ao, the closer he was to Xun Yu's residence, the more he felt uncomfortable all over.
When Mrs. Huan gave Xun Yu poisoned wine, he stayed by the side.
He witnessed Xun Yu being poisoned to death and accompanied Cao Shu to visit him. Zhu Ao always felt something was wrong.
Cao Shu did not look back, but Sima Yi looked back at him.
When he noticed Sima Yi was looking at him, Zhu Ao frowned and turned his face aside.
Deng Zhan winked at him, and Zhu Ao's expression became a little more normal.
When he arrived outside Xun Yu's house, Cao Shu saw two white lanterns hanging at the door.
Xun Yu's funeral was indeed simple.
All the etiquettes carried out by Sima Yi were carried out in secret. People outside the house could only tell the dead man from the two white lanterns hanging at the door.
As for whom died, few people can guess.
When he arrived outside Xun Yu's house, Sima Yi dismounted first.
He came forward and knocked on the door himself.
The door opened and a head was poked out from inside.
Seeing that Sima Yi was standing at the door, the servant who opened the door hurriedly greeted: "General Sima..."
"The lord is here to pay his respects, why don't you open the door quickly?" Sima Yi said in a low voice.
Looking behind him, he saw that Cao Shu was indeed not far away. The servant quickly opened the door and bowed to the side.
Cao Shu brought people into the yard.
The servant closed the door, and then everyone dismounted.
"Where is the mourning hall?" Cao Shuo asked.
Sima Yi winked at the servant.
The servants quickly guided them.
Xun Yu's mourning hall was built according to the ceremony of the Three Dukes.
The cause of his death was subtle, and Shouchun didn't dare to come to pay his respects. Although the mourning hall was quite powerful, the door was deserted and looked extremely depressed.
It was not until hundreds of years before the placement of portraits of the deceased in the mourning hall was popular.
In Xun Yu's mourning hall, there were only tributes buried with him and a tablet engraved with his official title and name.
Standing in the mourning hall, Cao Shuo's mood was extremely complicated.
He was stopped in the street and asked him to send troops to attack Cao Pi. The reason was to support the deposed Han emperor to ascend the throne again. It can be seen that Xun Yu was truly loyal to the Han Dynasty, not the Cao family.
Not to mention that he was once the prince of the Cao family, and his relationship with Xun Yu was far less stable than Cao Cao and him.
It would be a problem to keep Xun Yu sooner or later, but he died like that...
Cao Shu still felt a little uncomfortable.
It is certain that he feels uncomfortable, and he has no intention of blaming Ding Yao.
There are some things that are not convenient for him to take action, so Ding Yao took action, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Sima Yi was accompanied by standing in front of the mourning hall, Cao Shu was sighing in his heart, and Deng Zhan, who was guarding the door, hurried in.
Going closer to Cao Shu's ear, Deng Zhan whispered: "Lord, something happened to the government."
Sima Yi had said before that the government would catch a fire tonight, but Cao Shu still pretended to be unknown and asked, "What's wrong?"
"There was a fire." Deng Zhan replied: "It's strange that the fire was exactly the room where Mr. Xun parked his body, and the other houses were intact."
"How is the corpse?" Cao Shu asked again.
"It's rescued, but it's beyond recognition and can't be recognized."
Cao Shu didn't say anything anymore and waved his hand at Deng Zhan.
After Deng Zhan retreated, Cao Shu looked at Sima Yi.
Sima Yi lowered his head and said nothing.
The people who came were tacitly informed, but they didn't say a word in Xun Yu's mourning hall.
"Burning Xun Gong with great fun." Cao Shuo explained to Sima Yi, and then ordered: "Let's go!"
The government fire was quickly put out.
The news of Xun Yu's death soon reached Cao Pi in Yecheng's ears.
Cao Pi, who had ascended the throne, has gathered many powerful helpers around him.
Those who were close to Cao Shu were either killed or undermined their power. Anyone who wanted to get stability was to swear allegiance to Cao Pi.
The Cao family in Yecheng has now become Cao Pi's temporary palace.
In the study room in the backyard, Cao Pi casually looked at the letters placed on the table.
These letters are all left over by Cao Cao.
Some of them are exchanges between Cao Shu and Cao Cao.
Looking through the letters one by one, Cao Pi said without raising his head: "Xun Wenruo is dead."
Except him in the room, Chen Qun was the only one.
Chen Qun bowed and said, "If Xun Wen had joined the eldest son, I would have expected him to die."
"Anyone will die." Cao Pi looked up at him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Not only Xun Wenruo can die, but you and I will die too."
"Your Majesty is saying." Chen Qun replied: "It's just that death is different from death. Xun Wenruo's death left many strange things."
"There is nothing strange." Cao Pi said carelessly: "If Xun Wen was in Yecheng, I would also kill him. If he didn't die, how could Cao Zirong feel at ease?"
"Your Majesty means..." Chen Qun certainly knew what Cao Pi meant, but he didn't say it straightforwardly.
Cao Pi said: "What else can it mean? It's just that Cao Zirong wants to be emperor."
"Your Majesty thinks he plans to be emperor too?" Chen Qun replied: "In fact, Cao Zirong can use His Majesty to depose the Han emperor and launch an army to attack..."
"He would definitely do that ten years ago." Cao Pi said: "But there is no benefit in doing so now. Instead, it will make him miss the good time to become emperor. You and I know what kind of person he is. How can a person like him be loyal to the Han court?"
"In the past, the Han emperor was not very nice to him." Chen Qun frowned: "For so many years, he has fought south and north, isn't it for the sake of the Han country?"
"Since I ascended the throne, where is the great man?" Cao Pi stood up and walked to the window.
He looked out the window: "You once advised me to move the capital, but at that time I thought it was unnecessary. Now it seems that it is really necessary!"
"Your Majesty is determined to move the capital, but I don't know whether to go to Luoyang or Chang'an?" Chen Qun asked again.
"Do you think you should go to Luoyang or Chang'an?" Cao Pi did not answer, but asked back.
"Luoyang." Chen Qun replied almost without hesitation.
"Luoyang was burned by Dong Zhuo for a long time." Cao Pi looked back at him: "I don't know how much money and grain are needed to rebuild Luoyang. Why choose there instead of Chang'an? You must know that Chang'an also has an imperial palace, so it will be a lot of worry to go there."
"Chang'an is too far from Shouchun. Once the capital is moved there, the eastern prefectures and counties can be handed over to the eldest son." Chen Qun said: "Moving the capital in Luoyang can not only control the prefectures and counties, but also can timely transfer the army once the capital is fought with the eldest son."
