For the current Cao Rui, he does not have the capital to insist on going his own way when most of the important ministers in the court oppose him.

Whatever he really thinks in his heart, on the surface, the opinions of the ministers must be respected.

Just like how much he doesn't like the noble concubine Yu in the harem, but these days, he always has to go to her for the night.

"Madame, ma'am! Your Majesty sent a message that I am going to spend the night with you tonight! ”

Yu's personal palace maid ran over happily and said to Yu.

Yu Shi said "um" in her mouth, indicating that she knew.

His eyes didn't move.

She was sitting upright, slender in her hands, carrying a pot of hot water, pouring it on the teapot.

This is a tea-making technique that has just been introduced from outside the palace, and she is learning.

The mist rose and drowned her face in the white vastness, so that the palace maid could not see her expression clearly.

When she came into contact with this kind of tea from Shudi, she first wanted to please Cao Rui.

It was only later in the matter of the queen that she realized that as a main family, in the emperor's heart, she was not even as good as a woman from a low background.

Later, she was deposed again and moved to Yecheng.

At that time, I realized that in the emperor's heart, he was not inferior to others, but he had no status at all.

This method of drinking tea from Shudi, she couldn't please the emperor, but she liked it.

The smell of tea is pleasant.

Brewing tea makes people feel calm.

Taste the tea, concentrate on the spirit.

It is the best way to cultivate the mind.

Now in Luoyang City, two kinds of tea are popular.

One is the previous tea soup, which is to mix ginger, tea, meat oil and other substances together to fry into a boiling soup and drink it.

There is also such a clear tea soup.

In order to distinguish these two kinds of tea soup, the people of Luoyang City call it oil tea soup and clear tea soup respectively.

At the very beginning, I don't know where the saying came from, saying that tea has a tea ceremony, learning it can cultivate the mind, and drinking it can calm the mind.

Yu was skeptical at first, but now he is convinced.

Now the top magnates and children of the family in Luoyang City have begun to use clear tea soup for hospitality.

Only those poor people like to drink oil tea soup.

Just like the lowly Mao family.

His father Mao Jiaben was born as a Dianyu lathe, because of Mao's sake, he was crowned as the Marquis of Boping, promoted to Guanglu doctor, and became rich overnight.

In order to improve the status of the Mao family, the emperor ordered hundreds of civil and military officials to go to Mao's mansion for a banquet.

On the banquet, the tea soup held out by Maofu was full of oil tea soup, and when others asked, they didn't know what the tea soup was, which was really shallow and ignorant.

The queen's house of the Son of Heaven became the laughing stock of Luoyang City overnight.

Thinking of this, the corners of Yu's mouth couldn't help but show a sneer.

"Why are you laughing?"

When Yu heard the voice, he was taken aback, and looked up, but it was the emperor who had already come in at some point.

"I've seen Your Majesty."

Yu hurriedly got up and bowed down.

"Get up."

Cao Rui sat opposite her by himself, "You sit too." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Cao Rui looked at the tea set on the table, and then looked at the chair he was sitting on, "You seem to like the things that came from Shudi?" ”

In other words, Mao, when he heard the emperor's words, he was afraid that he would have been frightened a long time ago.

But Yu Shi is not afraid at all, she has already been deposed once anyway, and it is a big deal to come again.

I saw her smile indifferently: "Originally, I was just curious, but after using it, I found that it was really easy to use, so I used it." ”

It is actually very easy to create this kind of table and chair, and the craftsman can make it after looking at the real thing and thinking about it a little.

But it's one thing to make it, and it's another thing to make it to your heart's content.

For example, in the Yu Palace, this table, this chair, this tea set, etc., are all original things from Shudi.

Needless to say, wood is a superior thing.

The key is to make it antique and antique.

The most important thing is that I don't know if this wood is natural, or if it is coated with some unknown secret material.

It is smooth as a mirror, but also does not seep water, and has no peculiar smell, which is really a good thing.

These items were transported from Shu to Luoyang without a trace of scratches, and it really cost a lot of money.

Cao Rui saw that Yu Shi spoke lightly, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Since ancient times, Henan, Hedong and Hanoi, the land of the three rivers live in the world.

The so-called Henan refers to the Wanluo area, which is now the henchman of the Great Wei.

The east of the river is in the northwest of Luoyang City, on the north bank of the Great River, across the river from Luoyang.

Hanoi is also on the north bank of the Great River, next to the east of Hedong and northeast of Luoyang City.

These three places, just like the world now, are next to each other, standing on three legs.

Hanoi Yu, derived from Emperor Shun, is one of the oldest surnames.

In order to gain the support of the Hanoi family, Cao Pi first reused Sima Yi, who was born in Hanoi, and then married Cao Rui to the Yu family as a concubine.

The Yu clan has a profound heritage, and it is no secret that there are caravans coming and going back to Longyou, Liangzhou, and even Shudi.

In fact, the Wei State can now have channels to collect wool for the purpose of raising the army to keep out the cold, and those caravans under the names of the great families in the Land of Three Rivers have contributed a lot.

If Xiahou Nan hadn't misappropriated the grain and grass stored in Guanzhong, he should be a great hero now.

Because in winter, the entire territory of Dawei, from Jianghuai to Youzhou, from Guanzhong to Luoyang, is either frozen or snowing, and it is very cold.

Keeping out the cold is really too important for the Wei State.

Cao Rui was able to defeat Sun Quan in the first year of his ascension to the throne.

The following year, the Hexi Rebellion was put down.

In addition, at this time, there were many old ministers left over from the Cao Cao period.

That's why he has the confidence not to set up the Yu family as the queen, and at the same time, it is also to weaken the family's constraints on him.

In the third year, he drove to Chang'an in person, thinking that he could defeat Shu Han in person, so as to completely stabilize his foundation.

It's just that people are not as good as heaven.

If we talk about the defeat in the southeast, it can be said that Cao Xiu was too aggressive.

Then the loss of Longyou, because of Cao Rui's royal conquest, no one can excuse him.

In addition, at that time, only Sima Yi beheaded Meng Da and Zhen Jingzhou.

In this case, he had to welcome the Yu family back to Luoyang with the heart of the family.

Therefore, Yu's attitude, in Cao Rui's eyes, will be a little overthinking, and it is natural to feel uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty seems to have something on your mind?"

Yu Shi took a cup of tea and sent it to Cao Rui, "This is the tea that the concubine has just made, Your Majesty, please taste it." ”

Cao Rui took it and took a sip, only to feel that his mouth seemed to be bitter and sweet.

"In the past month, there have been many rumors about Liangzhou, all of which say that the Shu people are going west."

Sun Quan in the south set himself up as emperor at this time, and made an alliance with the Shu people, wanting to be disadvantageous to the Great Wei. If I want to cut it down, the ministers can't. ”

"However, in Luoyang City, those powerful children and students who meet in flashiness are like knives, criticizing the inability of the imperial court to act, which makes people very troubled."

Yu lowered his eyes and said softly: "When the first emperor said: Husband and wife are the root of chaos. His Majesty spoke to the concubine in court affairs, and the concubine did not dare to speak lightly. ”

In the Han Dynasty, two palaces stood side by side, that is, the Changle Palace where the Queen Mother lived, and the Weiyang Palace where the Emperor lived.

The Han Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, and the Queen Mother often did political affairs.

The minister often plays the queen mother when he has something, so his relatives can be noble.

By the time of the Later Han Dynasty, because most of the emperors were young, the problem of relatives became more and more serious.

In order to prevent this from happening, Cao Pi specially issued an edict:

Husband and wife are in politics, and chaos is also the foundation of chaos. From now on, the ministers are not allowed to serve the queen mother, and the descendants of the family are not allowed to be auxiliary politicians, and they are not allowed to accept the lord of Mao. This edict will be passed on to future generations, and if there is a violation, the world will punish it.

At the same time, it also abolished the rule that women could be knighted for hundreds of years in the Qin and Han dynasties.

It is said that Qin violated the ancient system, and the two Han Dynasty inherited it, but this law did not conform to the ancient etiquette law, so Wei abolished it.

Even the Empress Dowager Bian, the Empress Dowager, does not pretend to be a color whenever she sees her relatives.

He also often admonished his relatives: "Live frugally, and do not have the idea of hoping for rewards and coveting comfort." Don't blame me for being too kind to you, it's because I have my own rules. ”

"I have served Emperor Wu for forty or fifty years, and I have been accustomed to a frugal life, and it is impossible for me to become extravagant and luxurious. If you dare to violate the laws and regulations, I will add one more degree to the crimes of ordinary people. ”

"You can't expect me to send you money, food, or forgiveness."

With the Empress Dowager taking the lead, the concubines of the harem of Wei have been quite quiet and rarely have anything to do.

In addition to the fact that the Yu family was robbed of the position of queen that originally belonged to her, there was a big fuss.

Now that she has returned to Luoyang, her mentality has already changed, and she will not say anything more.

Cao Rui's eyes flashed, staring at Yu Shi tightly, as if he wanted to see the true thoughts in his heart from her face.

It's just that Yu's face is respectful, and there is nothing else.

After staring at Yu for a while, Cao Rui really couldn't see her true thoughts, so he nodded, "Well, since you don't want to say more, it's okay." ”

"Since Yecheng returned to Luoyang, it seems that you haven't seen your family, right? In a few days, I will have someone notify the Yu family and ask them to send someone into the palace to talk to you. ”

Yu raised his head suddenly.

What greeted her was Cao Rui's sharp eyes.

I saw that the emperor continued to speak, and ordered, "It is best to let the people in charge of the caravan also enter the palace." ”

Thinking of what Emperor Fang Cai said about Liangzhou, Yu Shi understood, she opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end she could only respond: "No." ”

Cao Rui stood up, stretched out his arms, and said lightly: "Let's go to bed." ”

Yu walked to Cao Rui's side and helped him untie his clothes, and where Cao Rui couldn't see, her eyes flashed with an unknown cold light.

"If Your Majesty is really worried about the affairs of Liangzhou, the concubine has an idea."

"You're not talking about the court?"

Cao Rui had a sneer on his face.

"It's not a matter of the court, but of the harem."

Yu gritted his teeth behind Cao Rui, but his voice became more and more gentle.

"There is a person in the palace who is from the Hexi clan, if Your Majesty goes to find her, it may be of some help."

This time Cao Rui was really a little surprised, he couldn't help but turn his head, "Huh? There is such a person? How did I not know? ”

"This person was confiscated into the palace when he was the first emperor, and His Majesty may not have noticed it for a while, but it is also possible."

Facing Cao Rui's puzzled gaze, Yu Shi didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, so he leaned closer and helped him take off his robe.

"At the beginning of the Huang Dynasty, Hexi rebelled, and the Guo family of the big clan participated in it, and those of the Guo family from the Western Capital were confiscated into Luoyang Palace."

The Western Capital is the county governor of Xiping County.

"Guo's?"

"It's Guo." Yu said softly, "Although the Guo family is not an adult, the uncle is still there. If Your Majesty could summon a detailed question, it would probably be of some help. ”

Although her words and actions were gentle, she sneered in her heart.

His Majesty the Emperor is insensitive by nature, but he also likes beauty - the beauty of both men and women, everyone likes it.

Mao's is beautiful, but Guo is a little more beautiful than her, and Guo is young.

After a few years, Mao's got older and older, and Guo's just arrived at the time when women were the most beautiful.

When the time comes, I will see if His Majesty the Emperor will treat the Mao family as he did to me back then?

"Guo's appearance is quite moving, even if the concubine sees it, she feels pity. If His Majesty is interested, how about the concubine let someone call her over now? ”

Cao Rui was already moved when he saw Yu's posture, and when he heard that she actually took the initiative to recommend palace people to herself, her heart was even more hot.

When Yu saw him like this, he knew what he meant, so he turned his head and ordered.

After a while, I saw a timid woman being ushered in.

When Cao Rui saw it, his eyes lit up: What a beauty!

A few days later, news came out from the palace: the emperor's inner palace has a new Mrs. Guo.

At the same time, in the early years of the Huang Dynasty, due to the rebellion in Xiping County, the Guo family, who was moved to Luoyang, ushered in a happy event.

Mrs. Guo's uncle, Guo Zhi, was named the general of the Tiger Ben.

His uncle Guo Li was awarded the title of Captain of the Cavalry.

At the same time, Emperor Cao Rui of Wei issued an edict: The world has been chaotic for a long time, and the law has not worked for a long time! The prisoners, the lives of the world, cannot help but riot, and there is no way to govern the country.

In order to show the importance he attached to the law, Cao Rui ordered that the Pingwang view be changed to the hearing view, and he would go to the hearing view to hear important criminal cases.

In this process, Cao Rui found that from the beginning of Li Kui's formulation of the six articles of the "Book of Laws", and then to Xiao Heding's "Han Law".

At first, there were nine articles, and then it was slightly increased to sixty articles. There are also more than 300 chapters of "Order" and 906 volumes of "Decisive Ratio".

In later generations, there were continuous increases and losses, and there were more than ten Confucian families such as Ma and Zheng who commented on it.

So far, there are 26,272 articles and more than 7,730,000 words in various laws and regulations.

So he ordered Sikong Chen Qun, scattered cavalry and Liu Shao to delete the Han law.

Eighteen articles of the "New Law", forty-five articles of the "State and County Order", more than one hundred and eighty articles of the "Shangshu Official Order" and "Military Order", nine articles of the "Correct Law" are added, and the others are omitted.

At the same time, according to Shang Shuweiqi's suggestion, the doctor of law was set up to clarify the law.

In particular, it is expressly stated that:

The criminal law is the most valuable of the state; However, some people disregard the law of the land, but discuss it in private to show their contempt.

Failure to comply with laws and regulations is the beginning of the country's corruption, so it is forbidden to destroy religion and disorderly rule in the future with false and untrue words. If there is a violation, it should be punished by law!

Reaffirm the decree and make it clear that the world will not be confused.

In the eyes of many people, this is because the emperor accepted the advice of his ministers, extinguished the idea of cutting down Shu, and began to rectify the internal Wei State.

Sima Yi, who guarded Jingzhou, wrote a letter to his son Sima Shi, a member of the young people's association with Luoyang City's "Four Congs, Eight Masters and Three Yus" as the core.

He comforted Sima Shi and asked him to do his studies in a down-to-earth manner.

Sima Shi read his lord's letter and was a little confused.

At the same time, Sun Quan in the south announced the relocation of the capital to Jianye.

Let the crown prince Sun Deng stay in Wuchang, and order the general Lu Xun to assist him, and take charge of the two counties of Jingzhou and Yuzhang, and Dong supervises the military state.
