"Brother, do you think King Wei really doesn't want to ascend the throne as emperor?"
Xu Chu asked from the side.
"Fourth brother, are you really stupid? Is there anyone who doesn't want to be the emperor?"
Dian Wei couldn't help but laugh at Xu Chu.
"That's hard to say. Anyway, I don't want to."
Xu Chu curled his lips.
"Don't worry, King Wei is just trying to show off and imitate the three words of Shun and Yu in the past."
Yang Ling smiled disdainfully.
If Cao Pi didn't ascend the throne as emperor in the end, he would dare to eat Xiang Sanjin!
as expected.
After the emperor Liu Xie sent three waves of envoys in succession, Cao Pi reluctantly walked out of the house when he saw that the heat was about the same.
After talking with a group of officials, he followed the envoy to the palace.
There is nothing much to say about the next process.
After accepting the abdication of the emperor and the persuasion of hundreds of officials to advance, Cao Pi chose a good and auspicious day to ascend to the Zen platform and proclaimed himself emperor, changed the Yuan Dynasty to Huangchu, and granted amnesty to the world.
Regarding Liu Xie, Cao Pi did not make things difficult for him. Just like in history, he made him Duke of Shanyang and retained the etiquette of the emperor.
Overall, the process from Han to Wei was relatively smooth and there were no major fluctuations.
…
A few days later, Yang Ling followed the eunuch to the court.
I saw Cao Pi wearing a yellow dragon robe that represented Tu De, and he looked a bit like an emperor.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Yang Ling bowed his hands.
"Brother-in-law, there is no need to be polite, please sit down quickly!"
After ascending the throne as emperor, Cao Pi felt much better. He called the eunuchs and asked them to give Yang Ling a seat.
After Yang Ling sat down, Cao Pi said with a smile,
"My brother-in-law is indispensable for me to inherit the grand ceremony."
"So I plan to appoint my brother-in-law as the general. I wonder what his wishes are?"
After Cao Pi came to the throne, he also rewarded all the courtiers who were loyal to him.
For example, Xun Yu was appointed Taiwei by him.
Hua Xin and Wang Lang, who supported him, served as Situ, Sikong and so on respectively.
But the most important position of general was not appointed.
Many people speculate that this position is reserved for Yang Ling.
After all, only Yang Ling can hold this position in the world.
After hearing what Cao Pi said, Yang Ling said calmly,
"Your Majesty is kind to you, and I appreciate it. It's just that your talents are limited and your knowledge is limited, so I'm afraid I won't be able to shoulder this important responsibility."
"Brother-in-law, you're welcome. Is there anyone in the world who is more suitable for this position than you? Don't refuse any more!"
Cao Pi said with a smile.
Seeing that he could not refuse, Yang Ling accepted the order.
"Now that Your Majesty has inherited the Grand Ceremony, when are you going to let me continue to conquer Liu Bei and others?"
Yang Ling asked slowly.
But Cao Pi smiled and answered the question inappropriately,
"My brother-in-law has worked hard and fought hard in the past few years and made great contributions to the Wei Dynasty."
"I met my sister a few days ago, and she was still complaining that I made you work too hard for me, brother-in-law."
"Now that the world is at peace, only Liu Bei, Sun Quan and other clowns are left, which is really nothing to worry about."
"There is a saying that you can't kill a chicken with a butcher's knife. My brother-in-law will stay at home with my sister for the time being."
"I will send someone to take care of Liu Bei and others!"
When Yang Ling heard this, he frowned slightly, said nothing, cupped his hands and said,
"Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. I will just take your orders!"
He paused and continued,
"If there is nothing else, I will resign!"
Yang Ling was just about to leave when he saw Cao Pi slap his forehead.
"Oh, by the way, I have something else to discuss with my brother-in-law."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"I remember that my brother-in-law is in charge of the craftsman's workshop, right?"
"Your Majesty is right."
"My brother-in-law is now a general of the imperial court, and I'm afraid he will be even busier with official duties. Let others take care of places like the craftsman's workshop, so that my brother-in-law can reduce his burden."
Except for the funding from the imperial court, Yang Ling and Huang Yueying single-handedly took charge of the establishment of the crafts workshop.
When Cao Cao was alive, he did not interfere too much.
Now that Cao Pi has just ascended the throne as emperor, he wants to take away the craftsman's workshop!
It can be described as ruthless!
Yang Ling narrowed his eyes and looked at Cao Pi.
Cao Pi just smiled with a sincere expression, as if he really thought about Yang Ling!
The two looked at each other, Yang Ling said with a smile,
"This is easy to say. Thank you Your Majesty. I will hand over all matters to the person arranged by Your Majesty later."
"So good!"
Cao Pi said happily.
Yang Ling was too lazy to talk nonsense to him anymore, bowed his hands, stood up and left.
He left the palace with his front legs, and Sima Yi walked out of the side hall with his hind legs.
"Zhongda's plan is really brilliant! Yang Ling has no room to refuse at all!"
Cao Pi laughed excitedly.
"Your Majesty said something serious, but it's just a little bit of cleverness."
Sima Yi smiled slightly,
"Yang Ling will suffer from it in the future!"
"You are absolutely right. After you deal with him, Zhongda will let you choose the beauties in his house!"
Cao Pi smiled sinisterly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Sima Yi bowed his hands and said seriously,
"But rabbits will bite when they are anxious. Your Majesty, don't push people too hard. You need to do it step by step!"
"You are right, I will listen to you in everything!"
Cao Pi nodded,
"In your opinion, who should be in charge of this craftsman's workshop?"
He originally wanted to give Sima Yi the responsibility, but his next step was to let Sima Yi attack Liu Bei and Sun Quan in order to accumulate military merit, so he had to find someone else.
Sima Yi thought for a while and suggested,
"The Craftsman's Workshop is actually a secret place and must be held by someone who is loyal to His Majesty. I would like to tell you that Ji Zhong (Wu Zhi) is the most suitable person to be responsible for it."
"Okay, then I'll leave it to Ji Zhonglai to take charge."
Cao Pi readily agreed.
Just as they were discussing how to deal with Yang Ling, Yang Ling returned to the house, called Huang Yueying to the room, and told her Cao Pi's appointment.
After hearing this, Huang Yueying's eyes suddenly widened.
"Husband, Your Majesty has gone too far. He has just ascended the throne as emperor, and you have to kill the donkey?"
"If he didn't do that, he wouldn't be who he is."
A sneer appeared on Yang Ling's face.
Cao Pi promoted him from General Zhengnan to General General, but kept him in Xudu without giving him military power. This was obviously an overt promotion and covert resignation.
Then he took the craftsman's workshop away from him.
There are various signs that Cao Pi has begun to deal with him.
It seems that he still overestimated Cao Pi. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took the throne, he began to suppress himself eagerly!
"Husband, what should we do? Should we hand over the craftsman's workshop?"
Huang Yueying said a little unwillingly.
"Hand it in, why not hand it in?"
Yang Ling asked with a smile.
If he didn't hand over the craftsman's workshop, it would just give Cao Pi an excuse to have an attack.
"Since he wants it, we'll give it to him."
"Madam, you can also resign as a master craftsman and spend time with your children at home."
"I would like to see if your majesty can take care of the craftsman's workshop with a group of cronies..."
As Yang Ling spoke, he showed a meaningful smile.
