Cao Cao's tenth son, Cao Lin, was born in 200 and died in 256, with a life span of 56 years (not small).

In the sixth year of Taihe (232), he was named King Pei.

He didn't find anything, only that his granddaughter Changle Pavilion Master married Ji Kang, one of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest". Nothing else, no more.

…… ……

Cao Cao's eleventh son, Cao Gon (gǔ

), the half-brother of Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi, and the mother of Mrs. Du.

Cao Gon was fond of learning as a teenager and could write articles as a teenager. Every time he reads, the literary officer and the attendants often fear that he will get sick because of the damage to his energy, and repeatedly persuade him to stop, but he likes to read and cannot stop.

In the twenty-first year of Jian'an (216), Cao Gon was awarded the title of Pingxiang Marquis.

After the feudal lord, he advocated frugality, and urged his wife and concubine to spin and weave yarn to form a habit and become a daily affair for his family.

Rare.

As a vassal king, urging his wife and concubine to "spin and weave", this is the first time I have heard it. At the same time, it also explains the relationship between him and his wife and concubine.

Cao Gon has written articles with a total of more than 20,000 words, and although his talent is not as good as that of his brother Chen Siwang Cao Zhi, he has the same hobby as him.

In the twenty-second year of Jian'an (217), he was renamed the Marquis of Dongxiang, and in the same year, he was renamed the Marquis of Zan.

In the second year of the early Huang dynasty (221), he was knighted as the Duke of Zan, and the officials and subordinates congratulated him, and Cao Gon said, "I grew up in the deep palace, and I didn't know the difficulty of harvesting crops, and I had many mistakes of arrogance and pleasure." The sages have celebrated my joys and should help me to mend my shortcomings. ”

Honest and humble, this child has development!

Every time Cao Gon's brothers played and entertained, he pondered the classics alone.

The literary officials and the defense assistants (the official name of the Wei State during the Three Kingdoms period, set up in the feudal states of the kings, to supervise the actions of the kings) consulted with each other and said, "We accept the edict to examine the behavior of the Duke of Zan, and if there is a mistake, we should report it, and if there is a good thing, we should report it, and we should not hide his goodness!" ”

So they praised and stated the beauty of Cao Gon together.

When Cao Gon found out, he was extremely frightened, and he rebuked the literary officer, saying, "Improving one's self-cultivation and upholding chastity is just the behavior of ordinary people, but you have reported it to the higher authorities and know that this is precisely an additional burden and a drag on me." And if there are good words and good deeds, why worry about others not knowing, but rush to do it together, it is not good for me. ”

Cao Gon's vigilance and prudence have always been like this.

On the first day of the third month of the third year of the Huang dynasty (222), Cao Gon was named the king of the North Sea. In the fourth year of the early Huang dynasty (223), he was renamed King Zan. In the seventh year of the early Huang dynasty (226), he was renamed the king of Puyang. In the second year of Taihe (228), Cao Gon went to the fiefdom to take up the country. In the winter of the fifth year of Taihe (231), Cao Gon returned to Beijing to meet Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming. In the sixth year of Taihe (232), he was renamed King of Zhongshan.

When Cao Gon came to see Emperor Wei Ming, he violated the ban in Kyoto.

The officials in charge criticized Cao Gon.

Emperor Wei Ming issued an edict saying, "The King of Zhongshan has always been respectful and cautious, and when he came here by chance, it is better to judge this matter by the rules of evaluating the emperor's relatives." ”

The officials in charge were stubborn, and Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming had to issue an edict to reduce the fiefdom of Cao Gun's two counties and 750 households.

Cao Gon was worried and frightened, and warned his subordinate officials to be more cautious. Emperor Wei Ming appreciated Cao Gon's intentions, and in the second year of Qinglong (234), he restored the fiefdoms of the two counties he had previously reduced.

In the autumn of the third year of Qinglong (235), Cao Gon fell ill, and Emperor Wei Ming issued an edict to send a physician to see him.

Cao Gon was very ill, and he said to his subordinate officials:

"I lack virtue and I am ashamed of the grace of the Son of Heaven, and now my life is coming to an end.

"I like frugality, but the imperial court has a system of dying reports, and as a code of laws to be followed by the whole country, you must enforce it.

"When I am angry, from the time the coffin is parked to the time it is buried, I must follow the orders of the edict.

"In the past, the great doctor of the country (qúyuà

Buried in Puyang, when I see his grave, I often think of his legacy of style, and I hope to rely on the soul of the sage to rest in the ground, to build the boundary of my grave, and I must go there and choose its proximity.

The "Rites" stipulate that a man shall not die at the hands of a woman. Hurry up and build the East Hall on time. ”

I found the book "Rites", it was too long, and I don't know where it wrote such a sentence. "A man does not die at the hands of a woman"? What does Shenma mean? That's bullshit now, because nurses are generally women.

This also shows the status of men and women in Cao Gon's heart, and the origin of this concept.

…… ……

After the East Hall was built, Cao Gon named it "Suizhi Hall" and hurried to live there in a car.

He also said to his son Cao Fu, who inherited his throne, "You are still too young, you have not received a family education, and you have become a prince so early, you only know happiness, you don't know suffering, and you will definitely have the fault of pride and luxury."

"Reception ministers, be sure to follow etiquette. Even if you are not a minister, you should give thanks to the elderly. Serve your brother with respect, and be considerate of your brother. If a brother has bad deeds, he should kneel down and admonish them, and if he does not obey the advice, he will reason with tears. If the reasoning still does not change, then tell their mother.

"If you still don't change, you should tell the Son of Heaven to know, and quit the fief together.

"Rather than suffer calamity by keeping grace, it is better to live in poverty to preserve yourself.

This is only a great sin, and the smallest sin should be covered up for them.

"You little child, cultivate yourself carefully, serve the holy court with loyalty and steadfastness, and serve the concubine with filial piety. at home at the orders of the concubine; Receive a lesson from King Pei outside. Don't slack off on your mind as a way to comfort my soul. ”

- This kid is really going to die.

From his words, can we feel the breath of Mrs. Zhang? Can you feel the preaching of the "Five Buckets of Rice Religion"? There is not the slightest hint of any indication in the historical records that Cao Gon had dealings with his sister-in-law Zhang, but his words clearly have the tone of Zhang's preaching.

This is also the reason why I put Cao Gon alone in a chapter - he was heavily influenced by his sister-in-law!

A woman has such a great charm, which is rare in the Three Kingdoms!

…… ……

On the third day of October in the third year of Qinglong (235 years), Cao Gon died of illness and was called King Gong.

Emperor Wei Ming issued an edict to let Cao Lin, the king of Pei, stay there to complete the funeral, and let the great Honglu (lú) hold the festival charm to take charge of the care of the funeral, and Zong Zheng went to mourn and sacrifice, and the funeral gifts were very rich. After Cao Gon's death, his son Cao Fu succeeded to the title of King of Zhongshan.

…… ……

Cao Gon also has an interesting anecdote, recorded below: in the third year of the early Huang dynasty (222), a yellow dragon appeared in Zhangshui in the west of Ye County, and Cao Gon wrote a book to praise this matter.

Cao Gon's elder brother Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi issued an edict to reward him with ten catties of gold, and the edict said, "In the past, Tang Shuyu gave a strange millet to the Duke of Zhou, and Liu Cang, the king of Dongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty, presented an ode to Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, all of which were praises for flesh and blood relatives to commend beautiful relatives."

"Cao Gon, the king of the North Sea, has a profound study of the three tombs and five classics, deeply plays with the true meaning of the taste line, and his elegant temperament is radiant, and I praise him very much.

"The King of the North Sea should be able to show his virtue with discretion in order to complete your good reputation."
