In Xuchang Palace, Cao Pi, the Lord of Wei, was inspecting a book in the side hall, which was the article "Thesis" in "Dict Lun" written by him.

"Dict Lun" was written by Cao Pi when he was the prince of the Wei Kingdom. It includes twenty-two articles, including "Self-Dictionary", "Thesis", and "On the Art of Fang", which mainly involves comments on the seven sons of Jian'an and the difference between the concept of literary style and style. It is actually the first literary monograph in the history of Zhongxia literature.

In fact, the reason why Cao Pi wrote "Dicedun" was because of his talent.

Secondly, it was because he was competing for the throne with Cao Zhi. He knew that his literary talent in poetry and fu was not as good as Cao Zhi, so he took a different approach and wrote the book "Diced Lun" to open the trend of literary criticism for a while, which really made Cao Cao look at him differently.

Although he has already finished writing this book, he has been adding, deleting and modifying it over the years.

Strive to achieve perfection,

Since last month's Eastern Tour, Xuchang,

The court affairs were much less, so he still had time to revise his early work.

"Your Majesty, the Secretary of the Central Committee ordered Sun Zi to ask for a visit." Just as Cao Pi was still reading the book, an eunuch came in gently to report the report.

Upon hearing this, Cao Pi put down the book in his hand, stretched out his aching arm, and smiled and said, "Xuan."

"My dear Sun Zi, please pay homage to Your Majesty." Sun Zi put on his clothes and went into the hall to bow and bow.

Cao Pi raised his hand and said, "You don't have to be too polite." He said, and smiled affectionately, "What's the matter with Yanlong coming?"

Sun Zi: "I came to report the dragon boats back. Your Majesty, more than 20 dragon boats have been constructed. The guards of the Central Army have arrived and will set off just by waiting for your Majesty to order."

"Okay, thank you Yanlong for your hard work."

Sun Ziqian said: "This is the duty of my ministers."

Cao Pi left the imperial throne and went into the hall, nodding: "Well. How did the army gather?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, most of the army has been assembled. You can just wait until Guangling to join the soldiers of Qingxu and the two prefectures of Qing and Xu to send troops to attack Wu."

Cao Pi said loudly: "Okay, this time I will destroy Wu in one battle and capture and kill Sun Quan."

Since the last time the three attacks of Wu were defeated, Cao Pi has always been revenge.

When he remembered that he had been fooled by Sun Quan enough, he was so angry that he also inherited the foundation of his ancestors. Why did he fall at a disadvantage after several times?

Even in Western Shu, someone praised: Who is the hero in the world? Cao Liu, who has a son, should be like Sun Zhongmou!

The father and Liu Bei have long passed away. I am clearly the lord of China, but why did I compare Sun Quan's son with his father and Liu Bei? This time, we must let the world see who Sun Quan and himself are the wise and heroic lords.

Cao Pi was talented and knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and respected by the emperor. Although he seemed to be broad-minded and honest, and good at accepting advice, he was actually quite conceited in his heart.

However, since Liu Bei attacked Wu Sun Quan the year before yesterday, he and Sun Quan were always at a disadvantage.

The last time Sun Quan sent an envoy to surrender was originally false, but it was just to avoid being attacked on both sides. However, Cao Pi did not listen to Liu Ye's words and was greedy for fame and was asked to surrender from the Eastern Wu.

It would have been fine if he accepted the surrender of Eastern Wu, but Cao Pi was also furious and easily named Sun Quan the King of Wu. This was a big fool.

You should know that since Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, Sun Quan's status was a bit embarrassing. At that time, his official title was General of the Great Han Dynasty, and he was also the governor of Jingzhou and the Marquis of Nanchang. He was not low at first, but he did not recognize the orthodox status of Shu Han.

So this leads to his status being the lowest among the three families.

However, when Cao Pi appointed him as the Queen of Wu, his status suddenly became apparent. You should know that although the Eastern Han Dynasty had a dualistic monarchy, the so-called relationship between the subordinates and the prefect and the governors could not be compared with the real relationship between the emperor and the ministers.

So at that time, Liu Ye advised Cao Pi that the throne would only go to the first rank of the emperor, and Sun Quan was only a marquis at this time, and in fact, there was no right to be a monarch and a minister from the scholars and people in Jiangnan.

Since I had no choice but to accept Sun Quan's surrender today, even if I named him a marquis of 100,000 households, it would be better than to be a king. Appointing Sun Quan as King of Wu was to help him determine the righteousness of the monarch and ministers with the people of Jiangnan, and to further consolidate his rule, which was an act of adding wings to the tiger.

You should know that the title of king at this time was not the title of king at the Sui, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties in the later generations. The title of king at the Three Kingdoms could establish a fiefdom and establish a ancestral temple, just like the princes of the pre-Qin period.

Although he was basically determined by his military strength, Cao Pi was so easy to grant Sun Quan the title of King of Kings, which was a great helper, and he was quite a political mistake. As a result, after Sun Quan defeated Liu Bei and overcome the difficulties, he turned against him again.

Looking at the battle between Cao Pi and Sun Quan, it can be said that he was fooled by Sun Quan throughout the whole process. Sun Quan only gave his own dignity and gained strategic advantages and great righteousness in fame.

Cao Pi only gained a little fame, and of course there were certain treasures of wealth, but what benefits did these have for him, the king who was determined to unify the world?

As for dignity, Sun Quan didn't care at all. Since the Sun-Liu alliance in the 13th year of Jian'an, he has repeatedly jumped between Liu Bei and Cao Cao's families, betraying the alliance and abandoning the agreement, surrendering first and then rebelling, and only Cao Pi naively thought that Sun Quan was sincere in asking for surrender.

When Cao Pi thought of this, his face felt a little hot. He had been repeatedly slapped by Sun Quan in the face in front of the world. This time he was determined to destroy the Eastern Wu and save face.

"Yanlong, I will send an imperial edict. The army will march along the waterway tomorrow and visit Shouchun." Cao Pi made up his mind that it was time to set off and meet Sun Quan for a while.

"promise."

"By the way, is there anything abnormal about Zang Ba?" Cao Pi thought and asked worriedly when he thought of Qing Xu's incident.

Sun Zi bowed and replied: "According to the detailed reward, although Zang Ba secretly gathered with his old subordinates many times after hearing the imperial edict, he could roughly follow the imperial edicts of the court over the days, and the army in Qingxu direction had basically gathered to Guangling."

Cao Pi walked to the map hanging on the wooden frame on the side of the hall and nodded slightly: "He knows the current affairs, and after the matter is settled, I have to properly place it."

Sun Zi said in a compliment: "Your Majesty has put such great efforts into the righteousness of the king and the ministers. I believe Zang Ba will be grateful when he knows it."
