Chapter 31: Cao Pi's Enthronement(2/2)

"What happened outside?" Emperor Xian asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, news came from outside the palace just now that the King of Wei is dead!"

This sentence hit Emperor Xian like a bolt from the blue. Emperor Xian stood there blankly, ignoring the slightest bit of Cao Jie next to him, fainting from crying.

After a long time, Emperor Xian said, "It's gone! The Han Dynasty is completely gone..."

Cao Cao's death was ultimately attributed to an accident.

In Xudu City, most people did not pay attention to the cause of Cao Cao's death. Everyone was concerned about the consequences of Cao Cao's death.

Now that Cao Cao is dead, the Crown Prince Cao Pi should have inherited Cao Cao's title. Similarly, if Cao Pi is willing, he can also take the position of Prime Minister together.

Xiahou Shang's 100,000 army had already surrounded Xu Ducheng. At this time, even a fool could see that Cao Pi had become a foregone conclusion.

Most of the officials did not have much objection to Cao Pi's ascension to the throne, nor did they cause much shock in the officialdom. From the day when Cao Cao appointed Cao Pi as the crown prince of Wei, everyone knew that Cao Pi would become Cao Cao's heir, so at that time, everyone had already regarded Cao Pi as his lord. Secondly, since Cao Cao's attack on Hanzhong, every time Cao Cao went to war, Cao Pi would be the governor. Especially during this period, Cao Cao's condition worsened, he basically had no way to manage political affairs. Therefore, all the affairs of Xudu in recent months were managed by Cao Pi, and everyone was used to being an official under Cao Pi's command.

There is no complicated process for inheriting the title of King Wei. This time, Cao Pi, as the crown prince of Wei, inherited his father's title of Cao Cao, which is natural. It only takes a letter from Emperor Xian to complete.

However, Cao Cao was not only the title of King of Wei. Cao Cao was also the prime minister during his lifetime, but also led the governor of Jizhou.

The son can inherit the title of his father, but if he inherits the title, it would be unreasonable. No matter how thick Cao Pi is, he would not be able to inherit the title of Prime Minister and Jizhou Governor. Fortunately, there was no shortage of officials in the court who flattered and flattered, so Cao Pi did not need to say it himself. Naturally, there were a large number of officials submitting to the court and recommending Cao Pi as Prime Minister and Jizhou Governor.
