Chapter 541 The Death of the Traitor
Even Cao Cao himself did not expect that this time his illness was so severe that the royal doctor of the imperial court guarded him day and night, but his illness became more and more serious. They've all come to their dying moments.

In the spring of the 11th year of Jian'an, March [-]th, it was the season when spring flowers bloomed, but Cao Cao's illness became increasingly serious, and he gradually reached the end of his life.

Originally, Cao Cao thought that he didn't care about success or failure, so after losing the land of Xudu, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou, he could calmly move to Xuzhou and continue to live the life of his princes. He even thought that he would die like this, but It wasn't until Sun Quan was defeated and surrendered that he realized that he was so close to the final defeat, so close that he only needed an order from the other party, and his side was about to perish. This made Cao Cao really unbearable. The foundation established is actually a joke in the eyes of others.

"Sun Quan's child can endure humiliation and become a prisoner of others, but I can't. Without the protection of the emperor, I am a traitor, everyone spurns, and my ancestors are ashamed, so I can't bear that kind of humiliation at all. I know I The reason why he has been able to stay safely in Xuzhou for so many years is only to guard the emperor for him. He does not want to welcome the emperor back, but if the world is unified, even if he welcomes the emperor back, with his high prestige, coupled with I am still a clan member of the Han family. Even if we really usurp the throne, no one will say anything. After all, the Han Dynasty is still the Han Dynasty, and the emperor is still the descendant of the great ancestor. Therefore, I gradually become useless. As long as I am useless, He can just find any reason to destroy my foundation. If so, why should I cherish this life? It is better to die early, so as not to be humiliated in the future. It is just a pity that my children and grandchildren will be implicated in the future..."

These days, what Cao Cao cares about the most is his sons. Seeing the more than 20 sons around him and the young and beautiful concubines around him, Cao Cao is very sad. be implicated.

"It's a pity that my eldest son Ang'er is not here. If he is still alive and inherits my seat, he may be able to protect his family in the future. As for the other children, Zhi'er is the most talented, but he is the least suitable for being a monarch. Only Pi'er cares. Whether it is in terms of age or ability, he can barely succeed to the throne, but his temperament is too vicious. In the future, my foundation will be destroyed in his hands sooner or later, but if it is not for him to inherit, I am afraid that this foundation will collapse immediately when I die , only these ministers in the court, except for him, there is no son who can handle it at all."

Thinking of this, Cao Cao finally made up his mind to take Cao Pi as his successor, and appointed his brothers Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun and his confidant Hua Xin to assist the government. Treat Cao Pi like he did to him, "No matter whoever dares to disobey the order, the rest of the people must unite and kill him, and he must not be buried in the ancestral grave after death!"

When Cao Cao said this, he smiled wryly in his heart. He really didn't expect that his last words were somewhat similar to Sun Ce back then.Sun Ce established Sun Quan, which eventually led to the fall of Jiangdong, and established Cao Pi himself. This foundation will be ruined sooner or later. I really don’t know if it is a coincidence?
Then Cao Cao called Cao Pi to himself, and ordered everyone to go out, and then said to Cao Pi: "My son, you have also seen that the princes of the world are now wiped out, and the dozens of forces in the past have all disappeared. Only Shu Liu Chan and I, Da Chu, even so, our survival depends on Liu He's thought. After you inherit the position of Duke Chu, you must remember to be more respectful to Liu He and more tolerant to your brothers Be more respectful to the emperor. Now your sister is a concubine in the palace. As long as you are respectful enough, even if Liu He leads the army into the court, you can save your life. If you want to be ruined and die without a place to die, then you will be the cause of trouble for the whole family, and your mother Ding. Although she is not your biological mother, she also raised you since she was a child, and she has been refusing to come back all these years , you wait for me to die, bring her back and enjoy a few years of happiness..."

Mrs. Ding was Cao Cao's original partner. Because Cao Ang's death turned against Cao Cao, Cao Cao sent her back to her natal family in a rage. Later, Cao Cao went to pick her up several times, but Mrs. Ding always ignored her. Ma'am, Cao Cao originally planned to bring Madam Ding back after his death, but when he thought that Madam Ding was not Cao Pi's biological mother, and that Cao Pi would perish sooner or later, even if he came, he might be implicated by him, so he turned off this Thinking, sighed softly: "Forget it, if she doesn't come, don't force it, but if anyone of your younger brothers angers you, I hope you don't kill them, and send them to your mother Ding to accompany you." Being a companion is also a filial piety. My concubines are very hard-working, you let them live in Tongque Terrace, and arrange them well. You have to go to Tongque Terrace from time to time to visit me in the west. The cemetery in the suburbs. The rest of the incense can be distributed to the wives, and there is no need to use it to sacrifice to me. The concubines in each house have nothing to do, so they can learn to make belts and shoes to sell."

After saying this, Cao Cao waved his hand. He wanted to ask Cao Pi to call everyone back, but he suddenly stopped Cao Pi and said, "My son came back, and I almost forgot one thing for my father. I know that you and Sima Zhong Da has always been on good terms, but this person is not a person who has lived under others for a long time, and he will definitely interfere in your family affairs in the future, so he must not be reused."

When Cao Cao said the last words, he almost exhausted all the strength in his body. Then he looked up to the sky and laughed three times, and cried three times: "I was born at the right time. I have been fighting for more than ten years. I have taken the emperor to make me not ministers. I am an extremely person. You are lucky, but I was born at an untimely time, and I met Liu He, who repeatedly prevented my plans from being realized, and finally trapped Xuzhou. How much? It can be said that it is unfortunate, God, if there is trouble, how can there be peace? If there is trouble, how can there be peace?"

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao vomited blood for three liters, and a generation of traitors died suddenly and forever.

"Father." Seeing Cao's death, Cao Pi was sad in his heart, wept loudly, tears poured down like rain, and presented to the court, requesting to inherit Cao Cao's prime minister and Duke of Chu, and also asked for a posthumous title for Cao Cao, posthumously conferring an official position.

Then Cao Pi seemed to have forgotten Cao Cao's order, and ordered Sima Yi to attend the funeral for Cao Cao, which caused Sima Yi to come back after being idle for several years.
