Chapter 063: Cao Pi Politics

After Cao Pi became the king, he had already begun to implement the nine-product Zhongzheng system, and restricted the eunuchs, after he became emperor, set up five capitals, moved the capital to Luoyang, and ordered to respect Confucius and limit the descendants.

【Politics of King Wei】

After Cao Pi became the king of Wei, he learned the lessons of the eunuch rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty and began to limit the power of eunuchs.

On July 6 of the first year of Yankang (220), Cao Pi, the king of Wei, issued an order: "The Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan specially set up the Mingtai to discuss the government, and the Emperor Yao let the Xun build a room in the Dao and listen to the people's opinions, all in order to solicit public opinion." Civil and military officials must fulfill their duties of admonishment; The commander of the expedition must state the art of war; The ministers of the DPRK and China should be well aware of the way of governing the country, the prefectures and counties should keep the political affairs, and the gentry should assess the six arts; I want to listen to the opinions of the people. ”

On July 20 of the same year, Cao Pi, the king of Wei, held a banquet in the east of his hometown of Qian County to reward the six armies and the old folks of Qian County. On October 1, the king of Wei ordered: "I am deeply saddened by the generals who have fought and fought against the soldiers, and the soldiers who have died and have not been buried; The counties are hereby notified to provide small coffins for burial and delivery to the homes of the deceased, and the government will sacrifice them for them. ”

【Restricted Descendants】

Cao Pi said that the emperor wanted to posthumously seal the parents of his mother, the Empress Dowager Bian, and Shangshu Chen Qun learned of it and said: "Your Majesty has been ordered to start a business with holy virtue, which 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. ”

According to the record of "Huaqiao Spectrum", when Cao Pi received Zen, the courtiers below the three dukes were all knighted; Because Du Huaxin touched Cao Pi with his inappropriate look, he was only an official Situ, and he did not enter the knighthood. Cao Pi couldn't let go of his feelings for a long time, so he asked Chen Qundao: "I should receive Zen in the sky, and after the princes and groups, everyone is happy, and its form is full of sound, but only Xiangguo (referring to Huaxin) and your face are uncertain, what is this for?" Chen Qun left the table and knelt down and said: "The minister and Xiangguo were once ministers of the Han Dynasty, although they are happy for Your Majesty in their hearts, but in terms of righteousness, the looks of the ministers should really be afraid and even hate Your Majesty. Cao Pi was overjoyed after hearing this, and he knew what he meant.

Later, Cao Pi issued an edict saying: "Women's participation in politics is the root cause of turmoil~ chaos. From now on, the ministers are not allowed to say to the queen mother if they have something, and their relatives cannot serve as important generals and ministers in the court, nor can they be crowned kings and marquis for nothing; Pass this decree on to future generations, and if anyone violates it, the whole world will punish him. ”

【Establishment of Wudu】

After Cao Pi became emperor, he changed Chang'an, Qiao, Xuchang, Ye and Luoyang to the five capitals, and moved the capital from Xuchang to Luoyang. Chang'an has been an important town since ancient times, and Qiaoxian is the hometown of the Cao family, Yecheng is the capital of the original Wei State, Xuchang is the last capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Luoyang is the old capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In the first year of Guangwu Jianwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty (25), Liu Xiu set the capital of Luoyang and changed Luoyang to Luoyang, so in the Eastern Han Dynasty, many documents recorded Luoyang as Luoyang.

In the first year of the early Huang dynasty (220), Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi made the capital Luoyang and restored Luoyang as Luoyang.

According to the record of "Wei Luo": the edict is also based on Han fire, and fire is taboo of water, so "Luo" goes to "water" and adds "good". Wei Yu line times for the soil, soil, water of the peony also, water to get the soil and is flowing, the soil to get water and soft, so in addition to "good" plus "water", change "Luo" to "Luo".

Xuchang was called Xu County in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and was called Xu Du after moving the capital, and the name of Xuchang still comes from Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei, when "Han died in Xu, Wei Jichang in Xu", and changed Xu County to "Xuchang County".

【Respect for Confucius】

Emperor Wen of Wei issued an edict: "In the past, Confucius had the talent of a saint and the ability of an emperor, but in the last years of the declining Zhou Dynasty, he did not accept the fortune of the Mandate of Heaven, so he had to teach people with benevolence and virtue in the area of Luwei and Zhusi Ershui; Although he is busy every day, he wrongs himself to save the thoughts of the ancient holy kings and suppresses himself to save sentient beings. At that time, the Son of Heaven and the princes and kings did not reuse him in the end, he had to live in seclusion, studied the etiquette system of the Yellow Emperor, Tang, Yu, Xia, and Yin dynasties, wrote the chronicle of the ancient emperors, and wrote the "Spring and Autumn Period" according to the history of Lu, and revised Ya and "Song" with reference to the music of the Taishi. If there is a great chaos today, the etiquette is lax, the temples of the past are destroyed because they have not been repaired for a long time, and the knighthood of the Kong family has also been abolished, and the sound of ceremonial hymns can no longer be heard in his hometown, and the situation of worship cannot be seen at four o'clock, is this the appearance of those who want to advocate etiquette, reward meritorious deeds, and immortal merits of a hundred generations of emperors to sacrifice? Specially enshrined Lang Kong Xian as the holy marquis of the sect, enjoying hundreds of households and serving Confucius's temple. ”

The edict ordered Lu County to rebuild the old temple, put 100 families to guard it, and built many houses on the periphery, so that people of aspiration and learning could gather here.

【Selected Shouling】

On October 3, the third year of the Huang dynasty (222), Cao Pi selected the eastern side of Shouyang Mountain as the Shouling Tomb and issued regulations on funerals: "According to the ritual system, after the monarch ascends the throne, he should make an inner coffin to show that he will not forget death when he is alive." Ancient Yao was buried in the valley forest, surrounded by dense trees, Yu was buried in Huiji, and the farmer cultivated with peace of mind, because he was buried in the mountain forest, and the mountain forest was integrated. I don't use the practice of gathering soil to build graves and planting trees to remember, because it is not an ancient system. Shouling and the mountain become one, there is no need to build a tomb and plant trees, and there is no need to build a dormitory, a garden, or a Shinto. To bury is to hide, to make others invisible.

Therefore I built a mausoleum in this place where there is no crop, so that future generations may not find the place where I am buried. Do not put antiseptic ash charcoal, and do not use gold, silver, copper, iron, etc. as burial goods, all with pottery, so as to comply with the ancient regulations of burial with painted mud carts and thatched people and horses. The coffin should be painted three times, and the mouth should not contain pearls, nor should it be clothed in a garment made of pearls, and placed in a jade box, for these are the things of the unwise.

Ji Sun mourned with beautiful jade, and Confucius dissuaded him. The Duke of Song was buried thickly, and people of insight said that Hua Yuan and Le Ju did not do their duties as courtiers, and the tomb of Emperor Wen of Han was well preserved because there were no valuable things in the tomb for people to covet; The tomb of Emperor Guangwu was excavated because the original tomb was built and planted with trees. Therefore, Baling can be completely preserved, and the credit lies in Zhang Shizhi; The original tomb was stolen and destroyed, and the blame was attributed to Emperor Ming. All loyal ministers and filial sons should think about the words of Kong Zhongni, Zuoqiu Ming, and Shi Zhi, taking Hua Yuan, Le Ju, and Emperor Ming as a lesson from the past, and there is often an idea in their hearts to make the monarch's relatives stable and the soul will not be harmed for a long time, which is the loyalty and filial piety of the virtuous and sage.

There was no mausoleum in the Han Dynasty that was not excavated, and the root cause of the disaster was thick burials and the construction of tombs and trees. The queen and the concubines below the nobles, all who were not buried with the king, were buried in Jianxi after death, and the location had been explained before. If anyone disobeys this edict and changes it without permission, I will be killed in the ground, and I will be killed, and I will be resurrected. A minister who despises a dead king or father is disloyal and unfilial, and if the deceased has a spirit, he will not bless you. This edict was specially ordered to be stored in the temple, and a copy of it was stored in the Shangshu, the secretary, and the three mansions. ”
