Jiang Wan came out to persuade: "Although Yang Yi is guilty, he still made a lot of contributions during the Northern Expedition. In addition, he is the candidate appointed by the prime minister, so he cannot be beheaded." After hearing this, Yu Yi was a little unhappy and said: "This kind of person He is not worthy of inheriting the prime minister's mantle at all, he is so narrow-minded, no wonder Wei Yan hates him, in retrospect, although Wei Yan is a bit rebellious, his starting point is good, and Yang Yi is a bit of a villain."
Jiang Wan continued to persuade: "Now the Wei Kingdom in the Central Plains is watching with eager eyes. The crisis has not been resolved. Killing the heroes will probably chill everyone. Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Yu Yi waved his hand and said, "Then follow the Prime Minister's method and demote him to a commoner and let him go!" So an imperial edict was issued, and Yang Yi went to Hanjia County and became an ordinary citizen. Yu Yi Yang Yi felt so ashamed that he deliberately let him live in a poor place, and hanged himself in the house the next day.
When Yu Yi found out, he was a little surprised and sighed: "It seems that this Yang Yi has some integrity." So he ordered a grand burial.
At this time, it was the thirteenth year of the founding of the Shu Han Dynasty, the third year of Qinglong, the lord of Wei, and the fourth year of Jiahe, the lord of Wu, Sun Quan. Because Kong Ming died, Yu Yi prepared to reorganize the internal affairs, so no war was launched, and the three countries have been in peace.
In the Wei Kingdom, Cao Rui granted Sima Yi the title of Taiwei, governor of the army and horses, and guarded the border. Sima Yi thanked him and returned to Luoyang. The Lord of Wei built a lot of construction projects in Xuchang and built many palaces. He also built Chaoyang Hall, Taiji Hall, and the General Chapter in Luoyang. The temple is ten feet high, and the Chonghua Hall, Qingxiao Pavilion, Phoenix Tower, and Jiulong Pond were built, and Ma Jun was appointed to supervise the construction. They are all very gorgeous. When the people of Wei passed by there, they only saw the splendor and splendor, but they did not know it. What exactly was built inside? The construction of these buildings required the requisition of more than 30,000 skilled craftsmen from the Wei State and more than 100,000 laborers. This caused the Wei State to complain for a while and the people were in a low mood. When a minister came to Cao Rui for advice, he just laughed. , ignored it, and after being annoyed, he simply beheaded the ministers who suggested it. Afraid of delaying the construction period, the Lord of Wei ordered work to be done day and night, so that many people died of exhaustion, which was quite similar to the situation when the Great Wall was built.
As for Sima Yi, he breathed a sigh of relief after Kong Ming died. After the evil forces plotted against Kong Ming, they also began to think about how to plot against the new emperor of Xishu so that this future man could not complete his mission so that he could dominate all parallel worlds. Time and space have achieved the effect of permanent domination. It is too painful to know that he has been sealed in the black hole for hundreds of millions of years.
After Kong Ming's death, Cao Rui felt that Xi Shu would not invade again, so he lived a life of peace of mind. Not only did he build some flashy things, but he also ignored the people's sentiments, causing great trouble. Later, he issued an order to build gardens to let everyone The ministers all went to the scene, and he personally supervised them. The ministers became the labor force, doing the work of movers below.
There was a loyal person in the Wei State, Situ Dongxun, who hurriedly came up with a remonstrance. The content was: Since Jian'an, there have been many casualties among the people in the wild, and the surrounding houses are deserted. Even those who are lucky enough to survive are all old, weak, sick and disabled. , Nowadays, the space of the palace is indeed small, but if we want to expand, we can do it at any time, and we cannot delay the farmers' farming. What's more, we are building some useless buildings. Since your majesty respects the ministers, this can show your nobility. If it is just Building something with fancy fists and embroidered legs, although it looks gorgeous, is actually no different from a villain. Now we have to start building gardens again, and let ministers go to work on site. This is destroying the country's honor. This kind of praise is meaningless, there is no What is the role of Confucius? The king is polite to his ministers, and the ministers are loyal to the king. Without loyalty and courtesy, how can a country stand? I know that for saying these words, you will definitely kill me, but my life is as light as a cow's hair. Life is of no use, and death has no harm. I wrote this bid in tears and prepared to die. I have eight sons. If they want to implicate Your Majesty, I hope you can let them go. I would be very grateful!
Despite the foreshadowing of the following sentence, Cao Rui was still very angry and said: "Is this Dong Xun really not afraid of me killing people?"
In order to please Cao Rui, everyone asked that this man be beheaded immediately to prevent others. Cao Rui smiled and said: "I have heard of this man. He has always been very loyal. I won't kill him, but I can't let him go like this." , demote me to an ordinary person, and pass on my oral instructions, and if anyone talks nonsense again, I will be beheaded directly, and don't come to me again!"
However, this incident aroused public indignation. With Dong Xun as the starting point, other ministers also wanted to fulfill their reputation of loyalty. They all reported the situation to the public, and their words were all moral. Cao Rui was not polite. According to My previous idea was to just drag him out and behead him, but I also had questions about why the minister was so desperate to persuade him when he knew he was going to die.
After thinking for a few days, he called Ma Jun in front of him and said, "I built the tall building just to communicate with the gods and obtain the method of immortality."
He replied: "Of the twenty-four emperors of the Han Dynasty, only Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lived the longest. This is because he absorbed the essence of heaven. He also built a beam platform in the Chang'an Palace. There was a bronze figure on the platform, holding a The plate, called the dew plate, collects the essence of dew left by the Big Dipper at the third watch. This thing is also called Tianjiang. Legend has it that it was the nectar used by the Queen Mother of the West when she entertained the gods. This dew was mixed with the fragments of beautiful jade, By blending them together, you can gain longevity and rejuvenate your youth, so your majesty can live forever."
Cao Rui was very happy after hearing this and said: "You can rush to Chang'an with your people overnight, pick up the bronze man, and move it to our newly built Fanglin Garden."
He followed the order and went to Chang'an with 10,000 people. He asked the people around him to build a wooden frame and go to the cypress platform. In order to hurry up, 5,000 people brought ropes and hung them up. The beam platform was 20 high. The copper pillars were ten feet in diameter. Ma Jun asked the soldiers to dismantle the bronze statue first. Everyone worked together to dismantle the bronze statue. The bronze statue actually shed tears.
This phenomenon surprised everyone. Suddenly a gust of wind blew up, the surrounding sand flew, and a black air flow came. Then it started raining heavily. There was a loud sound, like the sky falling apart and the ground falling. Thousands of people were crushed to death on the spot. Ma Jun took away the bronze man and the golden plate and immediately returned to Luoyang to present them. After carefully taking stock, the Lord of Wei asked, "Why is the bronze pillar missing?"
He replied: "The copper pillar weighs a thousand pieces of gold and cannot be transported."
Cao Rui ordered the bronze pillars to be broken into pieces and carried into Luoyang. They built two bronze figures, called Weng Zhong, and lined them up outside Sima Gate. He also built two bronze dragons and phoenixes. The dragon was four feet high and the phoenix was three feet high. Standing in front of the temple, at the same time, he planted exotic flowers and trees in Shanglin Garden, and collected some rare and exotic animals to keep in them. All of this was for the purpose of meeting the gods, getting guidance, and achieving immortality. .
