Chapter 266: Family Affection
After Cao Pi finished speaking, he walked out directly from above, not waiting for the ministers to leave before leaving, as usual.
Many courtiers with different thoughts, looking at the empty throne in front of them, couldn't help but glance at each other, but no one dared to say anything, today's atmosphere, quite a little wrong.
Among them, the two big figures of the family, Chen Qun of the Yingchuan Chen family and Sima Yi of the Sima family of Wen County, Hanoi, also looked at each other in the same way.
The two of them were also good friends in the past, and how many years of friendship once made them talk about everything, but I don't know when it started, the two of them slowly walked farther and farther, until now after they glanced at each other, one was full of smiles, and the other was serious.
Neither of them said much, looked at each other for a moment, and then got up and left.
But that's when the difference around them began to emerge.
At the same Shangshutai, Shang Shu Ling Chen Qun and Shang Shu Servant shot Sima Yi, and they couldn't say who suppressed whom, and they naturally had their own cronies and colleagues.
Chen Qun is Shang Shuling, and there is naturally no shortage of officials and dignitaries around him.
Among them, Lord Situ Hua Xin, Lord Sikong Wang Lang, Taishi Ling Xu Zhi, and the Confessor Servant Zhu Gezhang Although their demeanors are different, the actions around Chen Qun are similar!
In addition, although Xin Bi, Shang Shu Wei Zhen, and Gao Rou, the court guard, were not as close to Chen Qun as they had revealed, they would more or less surround Chen Qun.
Behind them were a group of insignificant officials, and Chen Qun couldn't even remember their names, but he just knew that they had taken refuge in himself, or the forces behind him!
Chen Qun, who is surrounded by so many people, can be said to be the first person in the DPRK and China now, not to mention the others for the time being, it is these people around him who are almost half of the forces in the court!
Over the years, although Cao Pi has continued to promote the status of the Confucian family and constantly let Tai students enter the court, there is no less than that that that who came to the court through the Jiupin Zhongzheng system!
Especially when he pulled Sikong Wang Lang into his command, his power reached its peak!
Others look at Sikong Wang Lang as just an old man with high morality!
But Chen Qun's eyes are different!
This old man is their first Cao Wei's Dazhongzheng!
One person choked the neck of the entire official who Cao Wei wanted to promote, as long as he had him, he could sleep peacefully!
(Whether Wang Lang is Cao Wei's Dazhongzheng or not, the author has no way to come up with evidence for this, because the promotion of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system has some pitfalls, so many historical books dare not record it in detail!)
Now we know that there are several things about the Jiupin Zhongzheng system...
The Jiupin Zhongzheng system generally refers to the election of one person by each state and county, and the elected Dazhongzheng must be an official in the central government and has a high moral reputation.
Then the big middle is positive and then the small middle is produced. Zhongzheng is the official title of the evaluation talent.
After the large and small zhongzheng have been produced, the central government will distribute a kind of talent survey, something similar to a table, in which the talent is divided into nine grades.
Upper, upper, upper, upper, middle-middle, lower-middle, lower-up, lower-middle, lower-middle.
Among them, the most important are the nine central officials, who serve in the DPRK and the central government, are highly respected, and must be recognized by the world.
Under these two conditions, many people will be screened out, and then all kinds of competition will begin between the families!
Don't always think that this nine-grade Zhongzheng system is a simple sentence "there is no cold door in the upper grade, and there is no world in the lower grade".
If the Jiupin Zhongzheng system was really that simple, he would not have existed for so many years.
This thing was originally thought up by Cao Cao, and he wanted to finally use this thing to break the families that had been united into pieces.
It's just that he hasn't consumed Chen Qun, maybe Chen Qun also knows what they will face in time when this kind of thing is taken out, so even if it is already done, he will still press it in his hands.
This kind of thing is in the hands of a stupid thief, and that is the scourge of the country and the people.
But if in the hands of an extremely cunning traitor like Cao Cao, who will harm whom, it is really not certain!
Let's just say that the two major items of the nine-product zhongzheng system, the first is the need for nine zhongzheng!
When I heard this, there should be no problem with the nine big zhongzheng, and the number is not small.
But there are more than 10 million families in the world, even those families with names and surnames are probably hundreds or thousands!
And this number is very good, after Cao Cao had no choice but to give in to the family, he changed the thirteen states of the world and one to the land of Kyushu in ancient times!
Youzhou, Bingzhou, Liangzhou, a place like Liangzhou, where there is no family power at all, is directly assigned to the side.
This is why, it is to facilitate the rule of the family, Yongzhou has many wealthy families, there is no doubt about this, if the two states of Yongliang are separated, unless the family of Yongzhou jumps out of this circle, he can only stay in Yongzhou, he can't go to Liangzhou!
And after the merger, it is different, Jizhou can be said to be the place with the most families, and it is not easy for many of their families who are not strong to live in Jizhou!
After the merger, a lot of things will be easier to do, and they can take the opportunity to put their forces in places like Youzhou and Merge.
This is the reason why Cao Pi must divide Youzhou, Bingzhou and Liangzhou again!
If he can't guarantee that the three frontiers are his own people, then he can simply leave a stink for 10,000 years!
And after Cao Pi separated the thirteen states, that is, when the nine-product Zhongzheng system appeared, the world seemed to be fried.
The thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, in addition to the land of Xichuan in Yizhou where Liu Xuande is located, Jiaozhou and Yangzhou where Sun Quan is located, and Jingzhou where there have been ups and downs, there are exactly nine states and counties in the world in the hands of Cao Wei!
At that time, everyone paid attention to a fellow villager, and to be specific, there were fellow villagers above, and everyone was easy to do!
Therefore, the nine states and counties correspond to the nine big zhongzheng, isn't this just a hint that they are struggling!
And where can these nine states and counties be the same, take Yuzhou as an example!
There is a place in Yuzhou called Yingchuan County, and most of the ministers under Cao Cao were from Yingchuan.
And there are quite a lot of families in Yingchuan, not only the family, but also the kind of family that is very powerful!
The Xun family of the Xun family of the eight dragons, the Chen family founded by the old lady of the Chen family, and the Zhong family where Zhong Xuan is located.
The Du family and the Guo family can also be regarded as a number of big families, etc.!
With so many families, their strength and competition can be imagined!
Therefore, there are several families in Yingchuan County alone that can compete for a position in Dazhongzheng, and then there are other places that meet the requirements.
In other words, it is more than enough for one Yuzhou to be able to serve as nine Dazhongzheng, but on the contrary, the three states of Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Liangzhou were banned during Cao Mengde's period.
For so many years, there have not been many pure locals in the center of the imperial court, and there is a Liang Xi and Zhang Liao in Bingzhou, but Zhang Liao never let him go back at all, and Liang Xi was also kicked back to Bingzhou.
As for Liangzhou, there were originally two people, Zhang Ji and Cheng Gongying, but Zhang Ji was left behind after becoming the assassin of Liangzhou, and Cheng Gongying died on the way to the west, and the three border states and counties couldn't pick out the local candidates.
In this way, only six of the nine states and counties under Cao Pi can be elected, and the six elected Dazhongzheng have to be distributed among each other, among which Youzhou, Merge Prefecture, and Liangzhou cannot just recognize this matter, think about the different volumes of the north and south of the Ming Dynasty.
This kind of friendship is a tradition in China for thousands of years, and the first choice of virtuous and virtuous people is their own countrymen, including the imperial examination, so the nine central officials directly let the families of Kyushu in the Central Plains mess up.
also allowed Cao Pi to find an opportunity to take advantage of the trend, in the first three years of Huang Chu, Cao Pi was able to do so many things, not just because he was Cao Cao's son, he relied on various means to compete for such a good opportunity from the family.
It's just that he underestimated the speed of the unification of the family, in the fourth year of the early Huang Dynasty, it should be the end of the struggle for power and profit of all the families, and it has temporarily become the first step of unification, and it is also taking advantage of Cao Pi's outing to do the step that is difficult for him to accept, and he has won back a game.
Of course, it may also be the reason why Cao Pi got rid of himself, so who were the candidates who were able to do the nine big zhongzheng.
There is no doubt among the three dukes, the three dukes here are the most primitive three dukes, and Taiwei Jia Xu represents the power of Liangzhou, which is also what the later family said would also put Zhong Xuan on top and replace Jia Xu.
In the first three years of Huang Chu, too many people in Liangzhou were recruited by Cao Pi, except for Zhang Ji, Su Ze and others, Liangzhou should have reached the equilibrium state of self-production and self-sale for the first time, Hao Zhao and Wei Ping were born in Yongzhou, but they reached the level of generals in Liangzhou.
In addition to these two people, the Biqiu family also stood up, Biqiu Xing became a member of the Central Committee from Wuwei Taishou, and his son Biqiu Jian finally became Cao Wei's border general.
The Guo family can be regarded as coming out of Liangzhou, although it is said that they are blessed by their daughter.
After that, Hu Zun and others in Liangzhou were also brought up little by little, Zhang was outside, and Jia Xu was inside, and the elite talents of Liangzhou were transported to Cao Pi's side and in front of him, which can be regarded as letting Liangzhou stand up.
On the other hand, Youzhou and Bingzhou are different, and in the end, no one in Bingzhou stood up for his hometown, among which Jia Kui and Wen Hui should have had a chance, but both of them were let out, although they did a state assassination, but Bingzhou was deserted.
The last Youzhou was controlled by Wang Xiong, Cheng Xi and others, so that the people of Youzhou were not allowed to take the throne, including Tian Yu, Du Shu and other famous ministers were all broken in Youzhou, which was also the source of the border chaos behind.
So in this way, Liangzhou has stood up because of Jia Xu, and then he is still qualified to become a Zhongzheng official, Wang Lang and Hua Xin, two people who are both the three dukes, these two are not famous wealthy families, and they are also two people who can reassure Cao Pi.
After that, Chen Qun, the head of the family, Chen Qun exists, Yuzhou will definitely not find a second person to appear, as for Jiang Ji, Dong Zhao and Sima Yi and others, they are still a little worse after all, after four years of Huang Chu, I don't know if they can rush up, but before Huang Chu four years ago, they should not be qualified to serve as Cao Wei's Dazhongzheng.
In addition, it is said that Hua Xin can serve as Dazhongzheng not because Hua Xin is Cao Wei's Situ, but because he has the right to speak about the election of officials in the history books.
At that time, the three governments jointly proposed to the emperor: "The promotion of filial piety and honesty was originally based on moral character, and there was no need to take the Confucian classics as the content of the examination." ”
Hua Xin's idea is indeed different, he believes that "since the mourning rebellion, no one has read the Six Classics anymore, and morality has also declined, and the top priority is to re-promote Confucianism and promote the royal road with benevolence as the core." Formulating the criteria for the selection of officials determines the rise and fall of a country.
Today, if we do not take the Six Classics exam, I am afraid that the trend of reading will decline from now on. If there is a person who is particularly outstanding or has special expertise and there is a shortage of knowledge of the Six Classics, he may be appointed as a special person. What worries me is that there is a lack of such special talents, so I don't have to worry about not being selected. ”
This passage comes from the early days of Cao Pi's reign, "Three Kingdoms, Volume 13, Wei Shu 13, Zhong Xuanhua Xin, Wang Lang Biography 13": "Filial piety and honesty, this is based on virtue, and it is not limited to testing the scriptures." "Xin thought" that since the funeral, the six books have been abolished, and they should be established to worship the royal road. The husband of the law, so through the rise and fall. Now I listen to filial piety and honesty without passing the test, I am afraid that my studies will be abandoned from now on. If there is a difference, it can be used as a feature. If there is no one to suffer, why can't you suffer? "The emperor obeyed his words.
It can be seen from here that as the top priority of Cao Wei, the three governments still failed in the selection of officials, and it can be seen that Hua Xin has a unique position in this regard, so the author thinks that Hua Xin is one of the central officials.
In the same way, Wang Lang, who is the third prince of Huaxin and Jia Xu, cannot be a Zhongzheng official.
When Hua Xin and Wang Lang leaned towards Chen Qun, and Zhong Xuan, a native of Yingchuan, replaced Jia Xu, Chen Qun's power should have reached a state of prosperity!
If it is said that the era of Taizu Cao Cao was a competition between the Hanmen and the family, the family won.
So from the first year of Huang Chu to the fourth year of Huang Chu, it was Cao Pi who took the Cao clan and the Hanmen to resist the increasingly strong family, as for who lost and who won in the middle of the way, it was also between the two, among which the mighty king Cao Zhang, with his own life gave Cao Pi the best opportunity to counterattack! )
Compared with Sima Yi's continuous progress in the court, Sima Yi also did not show the slightest weakness, he also has a vote of people around him, most of this vote are generals, of course the generals of the court will not, but recently many generals have been transferred to Luoyang, and Sima Yi just caught them.
Now several generals and colonels around Sima Yi have just entered Beijing, and the most famous of them should be Niu Jin, the deputy general of General Cao Wei's Sima Cao Ren.
Cao Ren once thought that Niu Jin would take refuge in a family of Yingchuan lineage, but what he didn't expect was that the Sima family, which had just begun to emerge.
In addition to Niu Jin, the people around Sima Yi are all some young generals, including Fei Yao, who followed Cao Zhen, Xiahou Ru and others to send troops to Yongliang, as well as Dai Ling, the captain of Changshui, and Hu Zun, a native of Yongzhou.
These people may be famous in a certain place, but they have no reputation in the court, and even Chen Qun and others are disdainful of them.
Although they are all generals, but they don't have much power in their hands, Niu Jin is quite brave, but his power is insufficient, Fei Yao and Dai Ling have no reputation, and even Dai Ling, the captain of Changshui, has angered Cao Pi before, and now whether he can keep his position is still between the two.
Although the prestige of these two people in the family is half a catty, but with the power in their hands, Sima Yi is far apart, there is no doubt about it.
However, Sima Yi's hand has some prestige in the army, in the first year of the early Huang Dynasty, Sima Yi was appointed as Shangshu, and soon transferred to the overseer, the imperial history of Zhongcheng, and the marquis of Anguo.
It was at this time that his cultivation of power in the army began, although his position as Overseer lasted less than a year before it came to an end.
In the second year of the Huang Division, he was dismissed from the post of superintendent by Cao Pi and promoted to the right servant of the servant and Shangshu.
But although Cao Pi started quickly, Sima Yi still left some seeds in the army, and at that time, most of the forces in the army were veterans and Cao clan relatives, and the little power in Sima Yi's hands was not as good as other people's eyes.
Who knew that a war against Wu made the Cao military turbulent, and the great Sima Cao Ren was not only killed, but his cronies also lost most of them.
The death of the former general Zhang Liao, as well as the abdication of Zang Ba, the Zhendong general of Xuzhou, made the Cao family's military chaotic all of a sudden.
This is also the reason why Sima Yi can fight in the ring with Chen Qun, after all, now Sima Yi is not only very outstanding in prestige, but also your strength in his hands, which cannot be ignored, although the prestige of the DPRK and China is not very strong, but with the support of the military, at this time, if he can get Cao Pi's approval, Sima Yi and Chen Qun are really not able to say who is stronger.
After Sima Yi and Chen Qun walked out of the palace, many ministers dared to follow behind them, and at this time, they could see how powerful the court was.
At this time, those who dared to rebel against these families either closed their doors, or they had already been tossed by them.
Cao Pi didn't know what was going on in the court in front of him, but he knew that he was going to see his queen mother soon.
To be honest, he didn't really want to see this woman, and since he became the king of Wei, he had tried to see his mother as much as possible.
Cao Pi couldn't say how he felt about his mother.
Cao Pi felt that his mother was real, but Cao Pi also didn't want to see his mother, and he didn't even want to say anything more to his mother.
Bian is a legend, the first half of his life was a standard legend, from a woman who fell into the dust, to a queen mother who convinced the world, how many hardships there are.
It is Cao Pi himself who can ascend to the throne of the King of Wei and sit firmly on the throne of the King of Wei, and the Bian family has made great efforts.
It's just one thing that is very difficult for Cao Pi to accept, after Cao Pi ascended the throne, and even ascended the throne, Bian is no longer the mother who protects him, but a queen mother who has many requirements and restrictions for him.
Cao Pi was already thirty-three years old when he ascended the throne, and Cao Pi's road was also bumpy and bumpy, and the road was not easy.
He does not have such willful capital like his younger brother, has so much love and affection from his parents, protects him in a thousand ways, and is infatuated with him.
Cao Zhi only needs to rely on his own talent, drinking wine and reciting poetry there, to be able to get the favor they can't imagine, and he, Cao Pi, his younger brother Cao Zhi, needs to escape death again and again.
Cao Pi thought all the way that he had been working so hard to live all these years, working so hard to make his life better, and the hard work he had made over the years.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable his heart became, and it wasn't until he walked outside his mother's palace that he put all his thoughts down, and then he stopped his steps.
Cao Pi didn't enter the palace, he didn't want to go in, not that he didn't know how to face his queen mother again, but that he saw the person he didn't want to see the most.
His younger brother Cao Zhang has not been able to be buried yet, and he is still staying in Luoyang City, while his mother is eating with his younger brother, and he is smiling and laughing at the dinner table!
Outside the palace, Cao Pi stopped the chamberlain who wanted to inform him of his arrival, listening to the faint sound of laughter, Cao Pi's face was gloomy, his chest only felt extremely blocked, and the whole person felt that his breathing was not so smooth.
"Your Majesty!" Zhu Shuo, who hurried here after hearing the news, knelt on the ground as soon as he saw Cao Pi and called out to His Majesty.
"Cao Zhi... How long have you been here? ”
Cao Pi's heart was already in turmoil after Cao Zhang's death, he knew that his younger brother might not be doing well, and he also had this premonition, but he didn't know that his younger brother would really die in Luoyang.
He doesn't even know what happened to the death of his younger brother Cao Zhang, and who it has to do with him.
"Back to Your Majesty, King Juancheng has been here for more than a month and has been living in the harem!" Zhu Shuo, as Cao Pi's close minister, will naturally have no reservations.
"Find a secluded place!" Cao Pi turned to leave, he didn't want to spoil the atmosphere of laughter and laughter, which always made him feel like an outsider.
In other words, in front of these two people, he feels like an outsider, every time, he has this feeling, in Cao Pi's heart, he is very jealous that Empress Dowager Bian and even his father can love Cao Zhi like this, to put it bluntly, that is jealousy!
(Cao Zhi and Cao Chong are definitely the forbidden ones of Empress Dowager Bian and Cao Cao.)
I won't talk about Cao Cao and Cao Chong today, today I will talk about the mother and son of Empress Dowager Bian and Cao Zhi, the relationship between them is really like a mother and son of an ordinary family, and Empress Dowager Bian's doting on Cao Zhi is definitely an important reason why Cao Zhi is so willful that he doesn't grow up.
Don't say anything about those adopted sons and so on, the children of the Empress Dowager Bian, that is, completely different treatment, Pi, Zhi, Zhang, Xiong's four sons, Cao Xiong died too early, so he didn't get the favor of the Bian family.
Cao Zhi and Cao Chang are the same age, and no one can say whether Cao Chang is the elder brother or Cao Zhi is the elder brother, but one thing is certain, Cao Zhi is favored! More favored than anyone else!
As I said before, when the sons of the world were competing, Cao Zhi was more favored and favored than Cao Pi!
He relied on his talent and endless articles and poems to make people unreachable, Cao Zhi's genius and ability were recognized by the world, Cao Pi didn't think about it, but he really couldn't compare to others, there was no way.
In good conscience, Cao Zhi is much older than Cao Pi, and the free world is much more than Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Rong's ancestors and grandchildren, but in terms of quantity, he is really not as good as his brother named Cao Pi.
According to incomplete statistics, Cao Pi began to chant poems when he had nothing to do in his life, and the articles he could find in his life were the most famous is "Classics", the so-called "Classics" is still a kind of criticism of others, and we don't know where Cao Pi came from with such a big face.
This is what he had to write when he was the prince, but now there are three articles left of the twenty-two articles, "Self-Description", "Essay" and "On Fangshu", these three are still alive, and the rest have long been missing, I'm afraid those people at that time can't stand it.
Fu poems are amazing, a total of nearly forty poems, this is the last thing the author can find something, all the names will not be said, list a few you may have heard.
"Autumn Hu Xing", "Good Travel", "Yan Ge Xing Two Songs", "Yongsi Chapter", "Mo Shangsang", "Huanghuang Jingluo Xing", "Furong Pond Works", "Tiger Walking", "Drinking Horse Great Wall Cave Tour", "Dong Escape" "Danxia Covering the Sun"
Look at these names, don't talk about his younger brother Cao Zhi, I'm afraid that he can't compare to his father Cao Cao, that is, he can fool Cao Zhang, let his younger brother Cao Zhang say a few words to him, the eldest brother is so literate!
"The Book with Zhong Dali", "The Book of Nine Days with Zhong Xuan", "The Book of Casting the Five Ripe Cauldron and Zhong Xuan", "The Book of Sun Quan", "The Book of Answering Fanqin", "The Book of Liu Ye", "The Book of Wang Lang", "The Book of Wu Qian", "The Book of Wu Qian", "The Book of Shu Jinshu with the Ministers", "The Book of Rice with the Ministers", "The Book of Being Served with the Ministers", "The Book of Borrowing and Mocking Liu Zhen", "On Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty", "On Taizong", "On Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty", "On Making Friends"
This large number of articles are all written by Cao Pi, and what can be said is "Casting Five Ripe Cauldron and Zhong Xuanshu" and "Reporting to Wu Lord Sun Quanshu", the former is because Zhong Miao used that thing to prove his importance, and the latter is the war book, the author got them out, which has already given Cao Pi a long face.
As for the Fu in the poems and songs, not to mention the edict he made alone, each of them has twenty or thirty articles, and each one is not famous.
If it weren't for Cao Pi, he would have lived to forty, and if he lived to be eighty or ninety years old, he would definitely not be able to compare with Qianlong, the master who wrote all Tang poems in his life, but he may be able to write a small half of it.
On the other hand, Cao Zhi, his creative level is much more reliable, his poetry is unique, the representative work of poetry is twelve, the representative works are not all, how much Cao Zhi wrote can no longer be found to be included, only know that "Cao Zijian Collection" has a total of 10 volumes, of which there are more than 80 poems that are more complete, more than half of which are Yuefu poems. His representative works include "Seven Mourning Poems", "White Horse Chapter", "Gift to White Horse Wang Biao", "Door with Ten Thousand Miles" and so on.
And among all of them, "Luo Shen Fu" should be regarded as a work of the gods, after all, he dares to directly tease his deceased sister-in-law, and he can still live in the end, it is really not easy.
Thesis, Cao Pi can't reach the level of his younger brother even if he fights hard, so Cao Pi has begun to concentrate on power in the middle and late stages, and this kind of Cao Pi is even worse in the heart of the Empress Dowager Bian.
Just said that from the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, that is, the first year of Yankang, when Cao Pi ascended the throne and even the throne, Cao Zhi began his road of death, he cried and mourned the Han family, as a member of the Cao family, took the lead in making Cao Pi not come to power.
In the whole world, there are only two celebrities who cry for the Han, one is the upright Su Ze, but he was a direct minister at the beginning, and he was not a figure in Luoyang, and there were people above to protect him and suppress all his things.
But Cao Zhi is different, as Cao Cao and Bian's favorite son, Cao Zhi, who once almost forced Cao Pi to death, he was a thorn in Cao Pi's eye, his every move was watched by the eyes of the whole world, waiting for him to do something, and he really did it!
As a result, Cao Zhi, who did this, lived a good life, not only lived, but because his mother was the Empress Dowager Bian, the feudal marquis had to have him, the feudal prince had to have him, and the feudal king had to have him, even if the fiefdom was bad, it was his.
Drinking and having fun every day, he lived an extremely chic life, and he went to Beijing every year to find his mother, the Empress Dowager Bian, to accompany him for a while, which made Cao Pi extremely disgusting.
Later, in the second year of Zhen Mi's death, he wrote a "Luo Shen Fu" with a very twisted meaning, as a normal man, how could Cao Pi accept this matter, his wife's death was because he felt that Zhen Mi was always towards Cao Zhi, and now Cao Zhi himself admitted it, making him like a man who beats mandarin ducks.
If Cao Pi hadn't taken Zhen Mi away at the beginning, the wife of a defeated general fell into Cao Cao's hands, what would she face in the future? Not to mention the seed called Cao Rong in her belly, whose it is still unknown.
Cao Pi can be said to be sorry for Zhen Mi, but Zhen Mi is full of Cao Zhi after everything has stabilized.
And the reason why Cao Zhi was able to get the love of Cao Cao, Empress Dowager Bian, Zhen Mi, etc., and even the love that did not descend to the truth, is really a little normal, specific, everyone can worship the star chasing during this time, is it almost the same.
Cao Cao, Empress Dowager Bian and even Zhen Mi and others, that are Cao Zhi's die-hard fans, and their love for Cao Zhi is pathological!
Rulin and later generations all said that he Cao Pi had a small belly and chicken intestines, that he was bitter and mean, that he did not value his brother, that he was narrow-minded, that Cao Zhi was not reused, and everyone was shouting for Cao Zhi.
As everyone knows, Cao Zhi is like a spoiled child, because of Cao Zhi, how deep the resentment in Cao Pi's heart is, he only lived forty years old, and he had to watch his younger brother who had bullied him all his life live well until he died.
He has only been the emperor for seven years, and in these seven years, he wants to make up a Cao Wei who has been revealed to be in tatters, little by little, he wants to balance the family and the poor family, and he wants to update the Cao clan well.
And his mother, except for helping him stabilize the situation at the very beginning, has never helped his son once in the past seven years!
Cao Pi is called the emperor, and the Empress Dowager Bian protects Cao Zhi!
In the third year of the early Huang Dynasty, Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu" made Cao Zhi a laughing stock in the world, and Empress Dowager Bian protected Cao Zhi.
In the fourth year of the early Huang Dynasty, Cao Pi looked at the front line in Wancheng, and the whole Luoyang became a pot of porridge, and the other son of the Empress Dowager Bian died directly in Luoyang, and the Empress Dowager Bian was stunned without any words.
Although Cao Pi forbade the harem to interfere in politics, but the Empress Dowager Bian was never honest, from the first month of the seventh year of the Huang Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Bian should have done the last thing, which directly led to the depression of Cao Pi later, and also caused Queen Guo to die of depression.
In the first month of the seventh year of the early Huang Dynasty, Cao Hong was imprisoned for violating the law, and the history books said that Cao Pi wanted to find a reason to execute Cao Hong because he couldn't borrow money, and then the ministers pleaded for mercy but it was useless, and Cao Pi had to kill Cao Hong.
There is also a record of this reason, the author does not comment, he committed a crime and then Cao Hong died, Cao Pi was not a person who killed in vain, and the minister at the end of Cao Pi was not a person who really allowed Cao Pi to mess around.
Regarding Cao Hongmen's crime, no one knows what exactly happened, and no one has recorded it, but Cao Hong, who can be dragged down, is dead, which is really a bit special, otherwise if it is light, I am afraid it will not be the turn of this situation.
And when the ministers couldn't save Cao Hong, the Empress Dowager Bian appeared, yes, it was the Empress Dowager Bian who didn't say a word when her own son Cao Zhang died, and when Cao Hong had an accident, he appeared again in the history books, and the author wondered if Cao Hong and Cao Zhi intended to rebel.
Empress Dowager Bian said to Queen Guo: "If Cao Hong dies today, I will order the emperor to depose the empress tomorrow." So Queen Guo cried and begged Cao Pi many times to save Cao Hong from death.
Empress Dowager Bian, who is a mother-in-law, threatens her daughter-in-law, if you don't go to your father-in-law to save Cao Hong, I, who is a mother, will let my son divorce his wife, this kind of thing is really a bit unsatisfactory for Empress Dowager Bian to say!
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Volume 5": "At the beginning, the Hong family was rich and stingy, and Emperor Wen pretended to beg for it when he was young, and often hated it, so he broke the law as a guest and was imprisoned and died. The ministers and the salvation can not be obtained. Empress Dowager Bian said to Empress Guo: 'Let Cao Hong die today, and I will abolish the emperor tomorrow.' So he wept and asked again and again, and he was spared the magistrate. Emperor Hong Xian was a hero, and most people at the time looked forward to it. ”
Now let's talk about the grievances between Empress Dowager Bian and Cao Pi!
In the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao, the pillar of the Cao family, died of illness in such a place as Luoyang, and Cao Pi was able to successfully defeat several of his younger brothers in the last period of time and ascend to the throne, which can be said to be indispensable to the help of the Empress Dowager Bian.
And he did not treat Empress Dowager Bian badly, whether he ascended the throne or the throne, the first time was to arrange his mother.
Cao Cao died of illness, and the crown prince Cao Pi took the throne, and Mrs. Bian was honored as the queen mother. By the time of the Cao Wei Dynasty, Mrs. Bian was the queen mother, and her residence was called Yongshou Palace.
Yongshou Palace wanted to be the queen's residence, because the Empress Dowager Bian didn't want to leave, so she moved her two queens, which can't be regarded as reverence, it can be said that Cao Pi was directly grateful to his mother at the beginning.
And not only that, in the middle of the Huang Dynasty, it should be the first year of the Huang Chu or the second year of the Huang Chu, Cao Pi was firmly on his throne, and then he wanted to be better to his mother again, so he decided to posthumously seal his mother's parents, that is, his maternal grandfather.
But his idea was rejected, and Chen Qun said: "Your Majesty has been ordered to start a business with holy virtue, and it should always be followed by future generations." According to the texts, there is no system in which women can divide the land. In the ceremony, the lady is the husband. Ying Qin violated the ancient law, while Liu Han followed the ancient rules, this is not the edict of the first king. Cao Pi was enlightened, and said: "This discussion is very true, since this is the case, don't implement it." In this way, the edict is hidden in the pavilion, so that it will always be the back style. ”
This paragraph should be the root of the break between Cao Pi and Empress Dowager Bian, Empress Dowager Bian has worked hard for most of her life, so she wants to make her family live better, there is nothing wrong with this, but Cao Pi has just ascended the throne, and everything needs to be considered.
Chen Qun's words are not only reasonable, but also because Chen Qun's identity is very important, and at that time, Cao Pi was thinking about weakening the family and rewarding the Bian family, he was a little too impulsive to tell the truth.
"The Biography of the Queen": Huang Junior High School, Emperor Wen wanted to posthumously seal the parents of the Queen Mother, and Shangshu Chen Qun said: "Your Majesty was ordered to be transported with holy virtue, start a business and leather, and be forever the posterior." The text of the case classics has no system of women dividing the land and marshalling. In the ceremony, the lady is the husband. Qin violated the ancient law, and the Han clan was not the order of the first king. The emperor said: "This proposal is also, and it should not be implemented." In order to make the edict hidden in the pavilion, forever for the later style. ”
Empress Dowager Bian didn't say anything about this matter, but if this incident was before Cao Zhi was arrested for crying and mourning, then the rest of the matter would have been figured out.
Cao Pi didn't fulfill his promise to his mother, so he felt a little guilty, maybe because of this, he endured his mother again and again, and Empress Dowager Bian also became more and more excessive to Cao Pi.
In addition to these things, there are many grievances between Cao Pi and his mother Empress Dowager Bian, the most famous is that Cao Pi because of his mother, specially changed the law of the imperial court, before the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Empress Dowager was in power, and the relatives were in power, which can be said to be endless.
And his relatives are also from a family, even more so than a family, so Cao Pi didn't want to do this, and it was understandable to offend his mother for this, but the things that Empress Dowager Bian did later made him a little unbearable.
In the first year of Huang Chu, he only revised and established two decrees, which were about eunuchs, and it could be regarded as putting an end to the affairs of eunuchs in power.
The first new policy was to abolish the Zhongchang Attendant and the Xiaohuangmen, and set up two official positions, the Loose Cavalry Attendant and the Loose Cavalry Attendant, with a quota of four people each, and at the same time announced: It is strictly forbidden for eunuchs to interfere in politics and eunuchs to be officials, and the highest can only serve as "Decrees", so as to eradicate the root cause of eunuchs interfering in politics from the system. In order to pass it on for a long time, he also ordered the above-mentioned decree to be engraved on the metal brief policy in accordance with the ancient precept that "major national affairs should be engraved on the gold plate", and then treasured in the stone room.
Of course, the second item is to ease the relationship between himself and the family, and in order to be able to better calculate the family, he officially began to implement the nine-product Zhongzheng system!
The Jiupin Zhongzheng system officially appeared in the first year of the early Huang Dynasty, that is, after Cao Pi ascended the throne, to put it bluntly, this matter has nothing to do with Cao Pi's request for help from the family, it is more about easing and calculating.
But in the second or third year of the Huang Dynasty, that is, when the Empress Dowager Bian became more and more excessive, Cao Pi's decree was changed, and his direction was changed from eunuchs and families to harem!
Cao Pi likes power, there is no doubt about it, he even directly abolished the most important duty of Shang Shulang in order to be able to monopolize power, and the duty of taking care of the drafting of edicts for the emperor was abolished, which once made Chen Qun, the Shang Shuling, very disgusting.
He established the Zhongshu Province, and its officials were replaced by scholars, and the responsibility for drafting the edict documents originally held by Shang Shulang was transferred to the officials of Zhongshu Province, and the power of confidentiality was gradually transferred to Zhongshu Province.
What was the second decree he issued after that, prohibiting the harem from interfering in politics!
Cao Pi decreed that women were not allowed to pre-government, ministers were not allowed to play the role of the queen mother, and the descendants of the family were not allowed to serve as auxiliary politicians, and they were not allowed to accept the lord of Maotu.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms": On the first day of September, the edict said: "Husband and wife and politics are 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 serve as auxiliary politicians, and they are not allowed to accept the lord of the soil; This edict will be passed on to future generations, and if there is a violation, the world will punish it. "Gengzi, Queen Guo. Bestow the second class of the world's male barons; The widowed and the poor who cannot survive on their own will give grain.
It can be seen here that Cao Pi is definitely not targeting Queen Guo and the Guo family where she is, Zhen Mi and the Zhen family behind him should be targeted by Cao Pi, and then gave Zhen Mi to death, and turned his head to stand up to Queen Guo of the Guo family.
This is not enough, another sentence recorded in the history books is "the ministers are not allowed to play the queen mother, the family of the descendants is not allowed to be an auxiliary government, and they are not allowed to accept the lord of the soil", an emperor is not a person who holds a tea pot all day long.
He won't say a word casually, since he said that the ministers are not allowed to play the Queen Mother, it means that the Empress Dowager Bian was a means of the ministers before, and he will tell the Empress Dowager Bian at every turn, tell the people in the harem, and let the Empress Dowager Bian come forward to persuade Cao Pi!
Let's not say what the hell is that the ministers told the Empress Dowager Bian and asked the Empress Dowager Bian to come forward, so they said that this kind of behavior, when Cao Pi ascended the throne, he was not a six-year-old child like Kangxi, and he needed to have elders help him watch.
Cao Pi was already thirty-three years old when he ascended the throne, in other words, he had been in charge of the country for several years.
This kind of emperor, such a person in his thirties, who has been in charge of the country for several years, and has been fighting for power for more than ten years before, how can he not be greedy for power, and how can he accept his mother to fight for his rights!
Therefore, since the middle of the Huang Dynasty, Empress Dowager Bian has been singing in the ring with Cao Pi, and we will not talk about who is right and who is wrong.
However, the reason why the author wants to say that the family and the Empress Dowager Bian are not good, is not because the author is a Cao Pikong, but because the Empress Dowager Bian and the family are really a little too much in some things.
When Chen Qun was Shang Shuling, he prevented Cao Pi from rewarding his mother's descendants, and even this may have been the source of Cao Pi's break with Empress Dowager Bian.
But after Cao Ei succeeded to the throne, Cao Ei wanted to reward the Empress Dowager's family of the Empress Dowager Bian, it was completely different, Taihe four years, Emperor Cao Ei posthumously told the Empress Dowager's grandfather Bian Guang as the Marquis of Kaiyang, his father Bian Yuan as the Marquis of Kaiyang, and his grandmother Zhou as the Emperor of Yang and Mrs. Jinghou, and gave them all the ribbons.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms": Huang Junior High School, Emperor Wen wanted to posthumously seal the parents of the Queen Mother, Shangshu Chen Qun said: "Your Majesty was ordered to be transported with holy virtue, start a business and leather, and be forever the posterior." The text of the case classics has no system of women dividing the land and marshalling. In the ceremony, the lady is the husband. Qin violated the ancient law, and the Han clan was not the order of the first king. The emperor said: "This proposal is also, and it should not be implemented." In order to make the edict hidden in the pavilion, forever for the later style. "In the spring of the fourth year of Taihe, Emperor Ming was posthumously called the Empress Dowager's grandfather Guang Kaiyang Gonghou, his father was far away and said Jinghou, and his grandmother Zhou Fengyang Dujun and (Gong) Marquis Mrs. were all given seals. In May of that year, it collapsed. In July, they were buried together.
At this time, it was a period of time before the death of the Empress Dowager Bian, and many people may say that the Empress Dowager Bian is going to die anyway, so why hold on to it, the dead are the greatest, and it can be regarded as a kind of glory for the Empress Dowager Bian.
This is not excessive, but it is not a reason for Chen Qun and others to remain silent.
Cao Rong once wanted to reward his daughter, but was scolded back by Chen Qun.
In the sixth year of Taihe, Cao Rong's beloved daughter Cao Shu passed away, and she was posthumously crowned Princess Pingyuan Yi, but Chen Qun did not agree, and even began to persuade directly, and his speech was not as blunt and unkind as when he treated Cao Pi at the beginning.
"Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Volume 22, Wei Shu 22, Huan Er, Chen Xu Wei, Lu Biography 22": The queen daughter Shuxue, posthumously crowned Princess Pingyuan Yi. The group said: "There is a long and short life, and survival is a share." Therefore, the saints made rituals, or even to, in order to seek the middle of the war. There is no frugality in the prevention of tombs, and there is a soul of no return for winning and Bo. The husband moves the heaven and the earth, hangs endlessly, and the great virtue is not more than idle, and he moves as a teacher. Died at the age of eight, the ceremony is not prepared, the situation is not in the month, and the adult gift is given, plus as a uniform, holding the plain clothes, crying day and night, since ancient times, there is no such comparison. And it is to look at the mausoleum from the past and visit the ancestors in person. His Majesty suppressed the loss of the matter, but I heard that the ministers sent the funeral, and the begging car could not drive, which is the hope of all countries. Hearing that the car is driving and wanting to be lucky, it is really to Xuchang, up and down the second palace, all know the east, and the size of the court, all of them are surprised. Or they want to avoid decay, or they want to move the temple in a convenient place, or they don't know why. The minister thinks that good and evil have fate, and good and bad are up to people, and it is useless to migrate for peace. If it is necessary to move away, the west palace of Kim Yong Cheng and the Mengjin Palace can be stopped. There is no need to expose the wild times of the palace, and the silkworm farmers of the festival are wasted. When they heard it, they thought it was a great decline. The cost of annoyance is not measurable. And the sages of Jishi, when the prosperity and decline, in danger, uphold the way and believe in life, not to move their homes to peace, the countryside from its weathering, without fear. In addition, he is the emperor and the lord of all nations, and if he is quiet, the world will be peaceful, and if he moves, the world will be disturbed; How can you take it off lightly? "The emperor didn't listen.
Such an old paragraph, the author couldn't read it when he was reading, so the author felt that maybe Cao Rong couldn't read it at the beginning, so he gave him a very quick and happy one, I didn't listen!
Therefore, compared with Cao Pi, who is a father, Cao Ei is so tough, he still sees the family's character of bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and sees his father's hardships for so many years, of course, in the end, Cao Ei did not fall well. )
..... Straight to the point.....
Cao Pi was taken by Zhu Shuo to a so-called "hidden" place, and then sat on the main seat peacefully, waiting for Xu Chu's news, while listening to Zhu Shuo's words.
"Tell me everything you know, I want to know!" Cao Pi didn't say anything long-winded, and directly said his request, he had been outside for too long, and he didn't know much about Luoyang.
"At the end of the third year of Huang Chu, the school government ...... The minister had no choice but to return home with illness..... At the beginning of the fourth year of Huang Chu, the king of Rencheng settled in Luoyang, and the right middle lang made Bao Xun's intentions unclear, and he was not allowed to be in power by the king of Rencheng, and was violently beaten by the king of Rencheng.... The king of Rencheng made a big fuss in the court, shocked the lawless, and Cao Zhi, the king of Juancheng, clashed with him...."
Zhu Shuo briefly told Cao Pi everything that happened in Luoyang City during this time, although he didn't know about Cao Zhang's days outside, but Cao Pi knew about these things.
At least the school office was in chaos, and the family found another way to directly break the deadlock from the most impossible place, and actually overturned the situation for him from the school office, which was really negligent to Cao Pi.
After the family broke the game, he didn't know if they said that they moved the Cao family, or the Cao family took the initiative to find those families, I have to say that this time the heirs of the Cao family and the family took Cao Pi off guard.
Think about it again, not long ago, Shang Shu ordered Chen Qun and Shang Shu to shoot Sima Yi to directly pass on Cao Pi, asking Cao Pi to appoint Bao Xun as Gong Zheng and take charge of the speech by the degraded Right Zhonglang.
Cao Pi knew that the family had become more and more excessive.
At the same time, he also knew what Cao Zhang was facing at that time, it was not a simple suppression family, he was suppressing an entire world.
"When did Cao Zhi, the king of Juancheng, come to Luoyang?"
Cao Pi wanted to know how many people were involved in this, or how many people were with this group of families, wanting him to die without a place to be buried.
Zhu Shuo thought for a while and did not help Cao Zhi and Empress Dowager Bian to hide it.
"Cao Zhi, the king of Juancheng, came outside of Cao Zhang, the king of Rencheng, and there is not much difference in time, and at the same time, the Empress Dowager Bian appeared in Cao Zhi, the king of Juancheng!"
"You mean Empress Dowager Bian appeared?" Cao Pi's eyes narrowed, and then he snorted lightly, "I seem to have heard something just now, Ziwen made a big move in the harem, but finally let Cao Zhi go?" ”
"Exactly!" Zhu Shuo nodded and responded, "King Juancheng didn't get the harsh treatment of King Rencheng, maybe it's because the Queen Mother is, so..."
"The queen mother wants to pamper Cao Zhi's house, this is normal!" Cao Pi sneered, and then continued to ask, "When I left, I once instructed the queen to let him take care of the harem, how did the queen mother get involved. ”
"The queen mother did stop it, but something suddenly happened to the king of the plains, and it was said that her life was in danger, so she dragged the queen back!" When Zhu Shuo faced Queen Guo, he still kept some of it, and the King of the Plains was the queen's forbidden body, which was no secret in the palace.
Cao Pi also shrank his eyes at this, but he didn't say anything, that's all he knew from Zhu Shuo, and the rest depended on Xu Chu and Jia Xu.
"Your Majesty!" While Cao Pi was waiting, the guards outside came to report, "General Xu Chu and Master Jia Xu are back." ”
"Let them in!"
When Xu Chu came in, there was a semi-unconscious guy in his hand, and he was thrown to the ground like this.
"Xu Chu, meet Your Majesty!"
"Jia Xu, meet Your Majesty!"
"Who is this man!" Cao Pi didn't talk to the two of them, Han Xuan, and now Cao Pi really can't greet him.
"Sang Gan, he used to be a personal general under the command of King Ren Cheng, and before King Ren Cheng died, he was the only one present!" Xu Chu threw him here and explained to Cao Pi, "When I find this guy, he will take advantage of the chaos to get out of the city!" ”
"Wake him up!" When Cao Pi heard that he was Ziwen's personal general, he directly said in a cold voice, "Hurry up!" ”
A basin of cold water was splashed on the face by the guard, and then Sang Gan came to his senses directly.
"Are you awake?" Seeing Sang Gan waking up with his face, Cao Pi's cold voice also came, "Stand up when you wake up, let me take a good look at how you, a foreign race, are the generals of Ziwen!" ”
Sang Gan went from being dazed to completely conscious, until he finally saw Cao Pi in front of him, and a miserable smile appeared on his face.
Since a long time ago, he has been until there will be such a day, although those people have been trying to tell themselves that without the school government to control the world, the Cao family will definitely not catch him, but Sang Gan himself knows that if it is really as simple as he said, why would they do such a ghostly trick.
However, Sang Gan did not regret it, it was no secret that he wanted to kill Cao Zhang, and even Cao Chang himself knew about it, but he had never had a chance before, and Cao Chang didn't care about him alone.
Now he has finally succeeded, although the process has left him with some difficulty in calming down.
"Why don't you speak, you can't speak, or you don't want to speak!" Cao Pi looked at the alien named Sang Gan, and after standing up, he didn't salute or speak, and he was pestle here, and his face suddenly became very ugly.
"Nothing to say!" Sang Gan finally opened his mouth, his voice was very hoarse and ugly, not because he was injured but something else, it should be said that it was the sequelae of his hangover, "King Ren Cheng died in my hands, that's all." ”
"That's all?" Cao Pi's tone was full of murderous intent, and he raised his hand and slapped the inkstone in his hand on Sang Gan's head, "With such a waste as you, do you dare to say that you can kill my younger brother with your own hands?" ”
"The king of Rencheng was killed by someone, you don't have to say much, whether you killed a certain family to avenge the king of Rencheng or want to cut you with a thousand knives, a certain family is at your disposal, if you want to kill the nine clans or relatives of a certain family, I'm afraid you are disappointed, whether it is relatives and friends or the old, a certain family is gone, so a certain family only asks you not to ask!"
Looking at such a single guy, Cao Pi only felt his anger surge, and wanted to kill this guy directly here, but in the end, what little reason he had left made him stop.
Jia Xu looked at this scene, then forcibly endured the discomfort in his abdomen, took a deep breath, and took a few steps forward.
"Your Majesty, the old minister wants to say a few words to this Sanggan warrior!" Jia Xu chuckled and said a word to Cao Pi, and then after Cao Pi agreed, he turned his gaze to the guy named Sanggan.
"Sanggan, old man Jia Wenhe, maybe King Ren Cheng told you about the old man, if you have always had such an attitude, the old man has nothing to do with you, but..."
"But what?" Sang Gan sneered, "What else can you do other than slash a certain family with a thousand knives?" ”
"The old man knew that King Ren Cheng had nothing to do over the years, so he collected the bones of many people, it is said that there were Han soldiers and Wuhuan people, Xianbei people, etc., and he also entrusted people to take care of their wives and children, and gave them a way out..."
"What are you talking to a certain family about?" Sang Gan suddenly became furious, "A certain family has been killed, what is the point of you telling such and such a family!" ”
"The old man wants to say that it is difficult to take care of them, the king of Ren Cheng can do it before, but the court can't, so the old man thinks that these expenses should be borne by the family of the king of Ren Cheng, after all, now the wife and children of the king of Ren Cheng do not need to be taken care of.
Oh yes, it's actually good to put Ren Chengwang's family in a fiefdom, I heard that Lord Hua Xin and Lord Wang Lang are all from Qingzhou, Qingzhou has developed well these years, I will wait for this wind to be released, I think there are many people who will be willing to take care of Ren Chengwang's family. ”
Jia Xu said lightly, but after Sang Gan heard it, his eyes were red, "King Ren Cheng has also paid so much for your Cao family, but you don't even care about his family?" ”
"King Ren Cheng died of illness, of course his family will take care of it, but Princess Ren Cheng is a member of the Sun family in Jiangdong, what can we do with this kind of person!" Jia Xu snorted coldly, "It's better to hand them over to those people from the family, with their care, the daughter of the Sun family will be more accustomed to it." ”
"Fart!" Sang Gan suddenly became furious, "Don't wait for such a ruthless and unrighteous thing. ”
"If the old man is ruthless and unrighteous like this, then what will you kill with the hands of the king of Rencheng!" Jia Xu's voice was louder than his, and he really didn't know where this seriously ill old man got such a big confidence.
"The old man has already checked, your clansmen were indeed killed by the king of Ren Cheng at the beginning, but what can the two armies do against each other at that time, but for so many years, the king of Ren Cheng has collected many bones and raised many children for Dawei, you are worthy of him!"
"Somewhere..."
"How did King Ren Cheng die!"
“... Suicide! ”
