Codeigniter: Send whole POST request to method of another controller

I have a general controller which will get the POST request and decide to call known method of any controller. The controller will be chosen according to request.

Also I need to send whole POST request to chosen method without tampering.

More Description
Getting post request in controller 1, handling the request and decide to call known_method() of controller X | X != 1. Also sending primary request to the method. E.g. 

public function index()
{
    $post = $this->input->post();

    //handling the request and decide to call the following method of another controller

    Controller_X->known_method($post);
    //OR
    redirect("site_url/controller_X/known_method/{$post}");
}

But because sending $post as parameter as it will send as GET request, may tamper it's data, it's not practical way. Also storing in session and retrieve that in target method is not a good solution.

Question: How I can send this data to my selected target?

Thanks in advance

Suggestions, which I think would be cleaner:

1) Let the request handling in library, instead of controller. Call the library accordingly.

if(request1) {
    $this->load->library('lib1');
    $this->lib1->handle(); // in lib1, retrieve all post without tampering
} else if(request2) {
    ...and so on
}

2) Handle the decision request in the client or js

Redirection won't work as data would be lost or need to be reposted.

Update/comment: Library is not helper or meant to be lite, it is better viewed as business logic. Operations or heavy logic are commonly placed here, and model interaction as well.

well you can just include the controller inside a controller

if(toIncludeController_a()){
      $this->load->library('../controllers/Controller_a');
      $this->controller_a->myFunction(); //<- this function can also get the post data using $this->input->post
}

contoller_a:

public function myFunction(){
     $data = $this->input->post();
}
