Tongquetai is a place of gods?

Tongquetai is located 18 kilometers southwest of Linzhang County, Handan City, Hebei Province.

The ancient name here is Ye (yè), the ancient Ye city was built in the Spring and Autumn Period of Qi Huan Gong, during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and built Ye Ye Capital, built the bronze bird, the golden tiger, the ice well three Taiwans, that is, the "Ye Santai" in the history books, it is the birthplace of Jian'an literature, the platform is 10 zhang high, there are more than 100 houses, because of the famous inscriptions of the past dynasties are very many and famous.

Linzhang was called Ye in ancient times, and it was named because of the Zhanghe River in the north.

During the period of the Three Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Yecheng was the capital of the six dynasties of Cao Wei, Later Zhao, Ran Wei, Qianyan, Eastern Wei and Northern Qi, and lived in the political, economic, cultural and military center of northern China for four centuries, creating a brilliant history and culture, making Linzhang enjoy the reputation of "the hometown of the Three Kingdoms and the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties".

Tongque Terrace is bordered by Heluo in the south, Zhangshui in the north, and looks at the Central Plains, which is very domineering. In addition, the building building flying pavilion heavy eaves, the pavilion and pavilion are very beautiful, and the carved beams and paintings are magnificent.

There are hundreds of houses on the Tongque Terrace, which stores a large number of daily necessities, and there is also a beautiful Tongque Garden under the stage, which is indeed a good place for Cao Cao's golden house to hide Jiaojiao and enjoy in his later years.

Why did Cao Cao build the Tongque Terrace?

In fact, after the defeat of Chibi, when Cao Cao passed through Jieshi Mountain in Hebei, he overlooked the sea and wrote the famous poem "Turtle Although Shou".

At this time, Cao Cao, who was already old, felt that life was too short and had the ambition and ambition to realize the unification of the world, so he needed a prominent building as a symbol of his career and expressed his determination to achieve unfulfilled ambition.

In the fifteenth year of Jian'an, when Cao Cao was discussing the war with the soldiers, he suddenly heard a report that the golden light was emitted near Yecheng, so Cao Cao sent people to dig and dug up a bronze sparrow.

Cao Cao was overjoyed, so he asked people to build a bronze bird platform here.

In the winter of the same year, Tongque Terrace was built according to Cao Cao's wishes.

In the eighteenth year of Jian'an (213 AD), Cao Cao ordered the construction of a Golden Tiger Platform in the south of Tongquetai, which was later renamed Jinfengtai.

In the following year, an ice well platform was built on the north side of Tongjakutai, which was collectively known as Santai.

Tongque Terrace is located in the middle of the three, 60 steps away from Jinfeng in the south and Bingjing in the north, and the three are tightly connected by a pavilion-style pontoon bridge, which makes Tongque Terrace more spectacular.

Tongquetai began to have the surname Cao, and others were not allowed to set foot in it. Later, it gradually opened up, and the literati, ladies, and ladies all came to the Bronze Bird Garden or the Bronze Bird Terrace to play and visit the scene, which was open and prosperous, which was very much in line with Cao Cao's appetite.

One day, Cao Zhi's wife Cui Shi, went to the Tongque Terrace to watch the singer perform, in order to show her nobility and generosity, she came dressed up, but unexpectedly met Cao Cao on the Tongque Terrace at the banquet, Cao Cao saw a group of concubines surrounded by a woman with flowers, swaggeringly walking, and asked, "Who is that?" ”

Someone next to him said, "That's your daughter-in-law, Cui." ”

Cao Cao's face was a little sour, and he said, "My daughter-in-law? How can it be? What kind of daughter-in-law am I? ”

The man next to him said, "How is it impossible, isn't that Cao Zhi's daughter-in-law Cui?" ”

"Cui," Cao Cao said, taking a sip of wine, "come on." ”

Someone should.

Cao Cao said, "Let Cui's go home, don't be embarrassed here." ”

Someone responded, walked to the group of people who were like flowers and jade, and conveyed Cao Cao's will, and after hearing this, the group of people scattered like bursts, and left Tongquetai like little mouses.

Seeing their departing figures, Cao Cao's depression and wine gathered together, took another sip of wine, and said, "Pass on my will, Cui's violated my will of 'the harem clothes are not splendid, and the servants are not the same', and ordered her to cut herself immediately!" ”

Someone got his life, caught up with Cui's party all the way, and conveyed Cao Cao's words to Cui's, Cui's listened, and immediately Shabi, returned home, cleaned up, and hanged himself.

…… ……

Everyone knows that Cao Cao is a bit of a P. It's not luxurious, it's plain, it should, it's worth advocating, but he's too much, right?

Men and women, inside and outside the palace, all wear black, gray, and white, at most they are smoke-faced, sauce-colored, and at a glance, they look like a group of animals, so what's wrong? Does that cause visual fatigue and even visual cancer?

If you dress like this, the people will say about you, you see how simple the old Cao family is, people like this can still have a group of wives and concubines, eat and drink poorly, and still go to the world of the Han family? Can you still be reckless and kill people like hemp?

Cao Cao set a system for his family: the wives, daughters, and daughters-in-law of the Cao family were not allowed to wear splendid clothes.

The original text of the "Book of Wei" is: (Cao Cao) is elegant and frugal, not gorgeous, the harem clothes are not splendid, and the imperial shoes are not the same......

This is a rule set by Cao Cao himself, and it cannot be trampled on.

…… ……

Cao Cao and Bian's diligence and thrift, not to be harsh on other people's daughters, he also treats his daughters equally, and said in "Fu Zi" that Cao Cao married his daughter by himself, and he gave a black gauze tent as a bride price, and there were only ten maids.

- This is much more low-key than other big families marrying daughters.

Cao Cao himself also took the lead in setting an example of diligence and thrift, for example, the curtains and screens at home were broken, and they were also repaired, and the quilts and cushions on the bed as long as they slept warmly, never asked to add any patterns and decorations on them.

When Cao Cao was alive, he also set a rule for what happened after his death: the clothes he brought into the grave were only four small boxes.

Because Cao Cao led by example, Mrs. Bian also did the same, and the utensils used at home were all black, and there were no decorations such as literature, embroidery, beads, and jade.

Even after Cao **, her son Cao Pi was proclaimed emperor, and Mrs. Bian still insisted on not using gold and silver utensils.

It can be seen that Cao Cao's simple living habits have been extended and inherited by Mrs. Bian.

Mrs. Bian also often admonished her people: You should always advocate frugality, and don't expect me to give you any gifts...... I have lived with Emperor Wu (Cao Cao) for forty or fifty years, and I am used to frugality, which cannot be changed to luxury, and if any of you break the law and commit a crime, I will only make you guilty, and don't expect me to lend you money or rice!

Once, Mrs. Bian's younger brother Bian Bing built a new house and invited the family to have a meal together, and all the dishes on the table were vegetarian dishes, not a single meat dish! Look, Mrs. Bian not only restrains herself, but also asks her relatives for it.

For Cao Cao, this kind of woman is a person who runs a family!

…… ……

Cui's family was born in a local family, so he should understand Cao Cao's style; Cao Zhi, as Cui's husband, should take the lead in setting an example under the requirements and example of his parents, how can he be a wife?

Cui's death is not the result of a political struggle, if Yi Zhongtian interprets this story as "suppressing the Qinghe Cui clan and involving the struggle for the succession of Cao Zhi and Cao Pi", this is simply a matter of listening to the wind and rain.

Yi Zhongtian said in "Three Kingdoms": The third possibility is to arrange the aftermath, and he killed Cui Yan in order to arrange the aftermath.

We know that in Cao Cao's later years, the question of succession was put on the agenda, and the brothers Cao Pi and Cao Zhi fought openly and secretly for this storage position. If Cao Cao really wants to suppress the Cui family, he will kill the men of the Cui family, what else can he "grind away"? Why kill a woman? As a result, the Cui family was forced to commit suicide because Cui Yan offended Cao Cao because of his gaffes.

Others, such as Cui Yan's younger brother Cui Lin, are still officials in Cao Wei**, and even serve as a heavyweight official like the Imperial Doctor, and his career has not been affected at all!

After experiencing Cao Pi, Cao Rong (

In the two dynasties, Cui Lin has always served as a high-ranking official. It is recorded in the history books that Cao Cao was really worried that "Cao Pi and Cao Zhi fought after their deaths", and in this regard, the precautionary measure he made was to kill Hongnong Yang Xiu, that's all, Cui's is not a political victim.
