Chapter 68: Cao Cao and the Seventy-two Doubtful Graves
Chapter 68 Cao Cao and the Seventy-two Doubtful Graves
Although Wang Mang's ideal of reform is good, this ideal society has not been implemented in contemporary times, let alone in the Han Dynasty, where productivity was still very low and ignorant from top to bottom.
In the process of implementing the policy, there was widespread corruption among officials, a serious backlash from those with vested interests, and Wang Mang's foreign policy mistakes led to external troubles, and the large-scale war in turn provoked internal worries, and it did not take long for the people to rise out.
Politicians with ideals are often paranoid, and Wang Mang is.
He used a high-pressure policy to deal with the popular uprising, which only led the rebellion in a more violent direction.
Many years later, the mutinous group led by Liu Xuan captured the capital Chang'an, Wang Mang was killed, and his ideal society disappeared!
Taking history as a mirror, Gongzi Wei Xingke learned many shortcomings of his predecessors in his heart, and secretly remembered it in his heart, and would never be the second Wang Mang!
At this time, Gongzi Wei Xing was very embarrassed in his heart, thinking that if he found a character in history who was the least superstitious about ghosts and gods, it must be his ancestor Cao Mengde;
specializes in robbing tombs to obtain wealth, subsidizing military qualifications, touching gold captains, Qiu Zhonglang generals and other military ranks, but his ancestors set them up single-handedly.
A considerable part of the reason for the mixed reputation of the ancestors comes from this.
When his life was on the verge of death, he was afraid of revenge and excavation of his grave after death, but the ancestor built seventy-two doubtful tombs in one go, and the real location of the secret tomb was not recorded in the secret book handed down by the royal family, which was cautious enough.
For the ancestors, Gongzi Wei Xing also disagreed, digging the tombs of the ancients for some money, it seems that it is too inferior, and it affects the reputation very much!
If Cao Cao was knowledgeable underground and could jump out of the mausoleum, he would definitely point at the nose of his son Wei Xing and scold, saying: "You and other people, you can know the embarrassment of the old ancestor in the army back then; General Qiu Zhonglang and Captain Touching Jin are all doves under helplessness; When it came, I had to swallow it bitterly! Otherwise, Old Ancestor Wu would have died in battle! β
As his descendant, Gongzi Wei Xing can fully understand the fear and worry of the suspicious ancestor after death, and it is also a helpless move to set up seventy-two doubtful graves.
In order to cover up the real secret tomb, more than a year before the ancestor died, he also pretended to issue a "Final Order", which said: "Those who are buried in ancient times will live in a barren land." Its regulations are the West Gate Leopard Temple, the west plain is the longevity tomb, because the height is the base, not sealed and not the tree. "Zhou Li" is the place where the people of the cemetery are in charge, where the princes live in front of the left and right, and the doctor is behind. The Han system is also known as the accompanying tomb. Its ministers, doctors, and generals who have meritorious service should accompany Shouling. It is widely a trillion domain, so that the foot is compatible. β
Tell the world the location of his mausoleum openly, this trick, I don't know how many gangsters who want to dig his tomb will be killed during this time.
Gongzi Wei Xing admires the poisonous trick of the ancestor very much, and he is worthy of being the head of the traitorous males, and he is worthy of being a rare outstanding figure in history who combines military talent and political talent.
There are many god-of-war figures in history, but there are very few people who have extraordinary political wisdom at the same time, such as Lu Bu in the Three Kingdoms period, Yue Fei, the anti-Yuan hero of the Southern Song Dynasty, Yang Guang, the flying general of the Western Han Dynasty, and Yuan Chonghuan, a famous general in the late Ming Dynastyγγγγγγ
The idea of one of the seventy-two doubtful graves is still related to the early experiences of the ancestors.
In the early years, Zhang Jiao, who led the Yellow Turban Army bandits to rebel everywhere, died of illness in Guangzong, and the rebellion quickly failed, but it affected the people of the Quartet, causing a large area of the Central Plains to be devastated.
In order to protect the bones of their leaders, the bandit generals who participated in the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army buried many fake tombstones in neighboring counties to deceive the officers and soldiers.
The officers and men searched all over the ground within a radius of 300 miles, dug up dozens of Zhang Jiao's graves with "great sages and good teachers," and did not find the body of Zhang Jiao, the leader of the bandits.
Only the old ancestor was eager to make contributions and refused to give up, and he used both soft and hard methods to learn the secret of the true tomb of the bandit Zhang Jiao from the mouth of the traitor.
So, he personally led the soldiers and horses to Julu County, the hometown of Zhang Jiao, the first bandit, to dig a hole by the Laozhang River to explore the tomb, and finally found Zhang Jiao's tomb under the deep riverbed.
He ordered Zhang Jiao's head to be cut off and take the head of the bandit leader back to the capital to repay his merits.
The ancestor was deeply inspired by this, and set up seventy-two doubtful tombs on the surface, and secretly buried them in the secret tomb.
Thinking of the later generations, countless people argued about the true and false "Cao Cao's tomb" and blushed in their faces, and the son Wei Xing leaned forward and leaned back with laughter, admiring the cunning of the old ancestor very much.
In response to that sentence, the truth is always in the hands of a few people, and the vast number of people who eat melons will always live in an illusory reality.
I don't know why, such a scene inexplicably appeared in Gongzi Wei Xing's mind: his own mausoleum a hundred years later was brutally blown up, and the tomb robbers scolded themselves for being the descendants of traitors, while frantically looting all kinds of burial goods, and the bones were scattered all over the place, and then they were thrown into the wild!
Suddenly, Gongzi Wei Xing was awakened by this scene, and his head was covered with cold sweat!
Thinking of Sun Dianying's atrocities in the Dongling Tomb of Beijing City, Gongzi Wei Xing shuddered, and secretly swore in his heart: "My mausoleum must not be exposed to the eyes of the world, this scene is too terrible!" β
After a long while, Gongzi Wei Xing suddenly slapped his big mouth, shook his head, woke up a lot, spit at the foam, and scolded and scolded: "My grass, the mausoleum of shit!" If Lao Tzu unfortunately dies in battle one day, he will be buried everywhere, what kind of mausoleum is there? What a strange scene! β
Subsequently, the more Gongzi Wei Xing thought about it, the more inexplicable it felt, and suddenly he was happy, and shook his head with a smile: "I am really worried about the sky and have nothing to disturb myself!" β
At this time, he knew very well in his heart that if he didn't have the opportunity to return to the Central Plains, set things right, and support Cao Wei Sheji, future generations would not build him any mausoleum at all;
When you die, you can just wrap yourself in an extra layer of straw mat at most!
He felt that the scene he was worried about just now was too funny, so he started laughing for no reason!
Wei Zhong and Wei Cheng behind him felt that Gongzi was inexplicable all the way, and they looked at each other, and guessed uneasily: "Could it be that Gongzi's words just collided with the ghost god and was cursed by the ghost god?" β
Gongzi Wei Xing inadvertently saw the expressions of the two of them, guessed their thoughts, glanced at them fiercely, and scolded urgently: "What are you thinking, Childe, I am the savior of the "Five Hu Chaohua", and ghosts and gods do not invade!" β
After scolding casually, Gongzi Wei Xing was stunned suddenly, but he regretted it very much in his heart, he inadvertently said that he had leaked his mouth!
Looking at Wei Zhong and Wei Cheng's confused expressions again, the heart of the son fell!
"What are you doing in a daze, let's go, are you still waiting for Childe and I to find a sedan chair to carry you away?" Gongzi Wei Xing took advantage of the situation and reprimanded very wittily.
After a while, Wei Cheng cautiously asked, "Childe, what nonsense and what savior just now, we didn't hear it clearly, what do you mean?" β
"Huh? Did I just say that? I remember I didn't say that, you must have heard me wrong! "Gongzi Wei Xing's performance skills are very superb, so that Wei Zhong and the two of them seem to feel that they have heard it wrong!
At this time, Cao Da hurriedly ran over and shouted in surprise: "Childe, we caught a big fish!" β
"What big fish?" Gongzi Wei Xing was very puzzled in his heart, that chief was killed by his own hands, what other noble and powerful characters could be caught?
