The Book of Rites? Qu Li said: "The death of the Son of Heaven is called collapse, the death of the princes is called the death, the death of the doctor is called the pawn, the scholar is said to be Bulu, and the people are said to be dead." However, these rigorous and rigid ancient rites, now few people pay attention to it, Cao Cao's father Cao Song was once the third duke, comparable to the princes, so he also directly said that he "succumbed".
It was Xun who sent Cao Song from Xuzhou to Yanzhou, and then Cao Song lived in Juancheng, and later Lu Bu entered Yancheng, Juancheng was fortunate to be successful, but it also scared the old man enough. When Cao Cao basically occupied the entire Yuzhou and welcomed the Son of Heaven, the old man shouted and said that he wanted to go back to his hometown.
To be honest, the relationship between Cao Cao's father and son was not so harmonious. Cao Song has always thought that this eldest son is a troublemaker, and sooner or later the Cao family will be defeated, although the younger son Cao De may not be able to honor everyone, there is no problem in keeping his business after all. Cao Cao thinks that his father is a greedy and tyrannical incompetent bureaucrat, and if he is still in front of the captain, he will first have to kill his relatives and knock him out of power. In addition, although Cao Song has a lot of money, Cao Cao didn't want to take out a copper coin from his father when his military expenses were at his tightest, so although he didn't dare to quarrel with his father with his traditional filial piety, he was often lukewarm and refused to give his father a good look. Cao Song shouted to go back to his hometown, Cao Cao said in his heart that it was just right, I can't see it out of sight and don't worry about it, just leave if you want to.
Despite this, Cao Cao deliberately chose Chen Qun, the son of Dahonglu Chen Ji, as the county commander, and appointed his fellow villager Ding Fei as the prime minister of Peiguo, so that he could take care of his father nearby.
After Cao Song returned to his hometown, he not only restored the old industry, but also relied on his son's power to buy a large piece of land. Fortunately, the old Chen family lived outside Xuchang City, and Cao Cao had just arrived at Chen Ji's door two days ago to apologize, and sent Wang Cang to recruit Chen Qun into Sikong Mansion for West Cao Peng. He was racking his brains here, thinking about who to send to serve as the county commander, when suddenly the news of Cao Song's violent death came.
Hurry up and call the messenger into the door and read it. I couldn't help but throw it on the ground, hiding my face and shouting: "Kill me!" Hate to kill me! Shi Xun hurriedly sat down with Cao Ang, left and right, and then took the opportunity to pick up the letter and take a look, hey, although he tried his best to save Old Man Cao's life, he still didn't die well in the end!
It turned out that although Cao Cao calmed Runan and extinguished the Yellow Turban. But there are still a few fish that have slipped through the net, either fleeing south to Jiangxia or escaping into the countryside, and among them there is a thief named Gongdu - Yes Xun knows this guy, and Gong Du is written in the romance - with a small hundred remnants of soldiers wandering around. I don't know how. They ran to Qian County, and heard that Old Man Cao's house was full of gold and silver, and there was countless money, so they went to rob it at night.
The Cao family originally had a village courtyard and a lot of Ding Yong, but Cao Song himself had no sense of prevention, and he was very lax inside and outside. Coupled with the uneagerness, the thieves broke into the village and robbed a lot of property. Originally, they just wanted to grab a vote and leave, but Cao Song heard that there were not many thieves, so he became bold and had to chase after it - it was all my hard-earned family business, how could I let the thieves snatch it? Not a penny can fall into the hands of others! As a result, Ding Yong was gathered to chase out of the village, and he was hit in the shoulder. Because of old age and frailty, he died when he came back.
Did Xun Xin say that he had the courage to chase the thief, is this still the old man Cao I know? As the saying goes, "if a person changes his normal life, he will die without getting sick", he was cowardly all his life, and finally fought bravely once, and then lost his old life...... But because they refuse to let go of a little money - how much can they carry away? — and lost his life. Well, it should indeed be the end of his old man's house.
At this time, Chen Qun had just resigned, and there was no order from Qian County, and he waited until Minister Ding Fei heard the news. led the army to chase after him, and the Gongdu and others had already rushed all the way south and fled to Runan. Ding Fei didn't dare to chase after him, so he quickly collected Cao Song's body and sent someone to report to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao immediately shouted "take the horse", and he wanted to gallop back to Qiao County to go to the funeral. Shi Xun hurriedly stopped: "The lord is the minister of the imperial court, and there is a person who can leave Beijing without permission without giving birth to the son of tomorrow?" "Officials leave their posts due to funerals, there is a complete set of rules and regulations, and it is not something you can just leave.
Cao Cao raised his sleeve and wiped a handful of snot and tears, took Shixun's hand and said, "I am in pain and dizzy, Hongfu will play for me." Shi Xun hurriedly took pen and ink and helped Cao Cao write a letter asking for resignation to go to the funeral. Cao Cao instructed a few of them to prepare the mourning hall, and a few of them went to report everywhere, and then said to Shi Xun: "Hongfu will draw up another order, and Yi Miaocai will lead the army to arrest the thief, be sure to capture the Gongdu, I will kill him with my own hands!" ”
Cao Ang has followed his father since he was a child, and he doesn't have any deep feelings with his grandfather, so his mind is quite clear, so he hurriedly said to Cao Cao: "Uncle Miaocai is a relative of my family, and he should also go to the funeral together, so he might as well send someone else." "Cao Cao said okay, then let Xu Huang go. When Xun heard this, he couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, then I am also a relative of the Cao family, and I have to call Cao Song "Uncle Nei", it is estimated that I can't escape this trip to the funeral in Qian County.
The military order was sent out, and it was Xun who held Cao Cao's recital and ran to Shangshutai in person. Xun Yu was shocked when he heard the news and said, "How can Gong Cao leave his post at this time?!" "Yes Xun asked him, it won't take a few days to go to the funeral, but there is a funeral behind, I don't know how much time it will take, what rules and regulations are there? Shangshu, who had a fresh face next to him, interjected: "Emperor Xiao'an has an edict in the first three years of the Yuan Dynasty, and the minister has to be mourned for three years and returned to his post. ”
Shi Xun glanced at him with a cold face, and said in his heart, who is this bastard, you are dead!
Xun Yu groaned slightly, and said: "When Emperor Xiaocheng became the emperor, Prime Minister Zhai Fang entered the funeral of his mother for 36 days, and after 36 days, he was in addition to serving the affairs of the previous dynasty. "Yes Xun said that it will be completed in thirty-six days, so let's go and report to the Son of Heaven together.
Liu Xie listened to the report of Yes and Xun, and was also surprised: "The world is undecided, Cao Gong'an has to leave?" Can it be taken away? "It's Xun Xin who said that Cao Cao is not the only one who has left, and there are a lot of relatives of the Cao family in the capital, and there is no need to mourn according to the regulations, but the funeral should all go. He negotiated with Liu, the distance between Qian County is not far, let's not take the service, give Cao Cao two months off, come and go and add the funeral, plus the 36-day mourning period, and then rush back to see the matter - "I rule the world with filial piety, and Sikong is an example for hundreds of officials, so I can't help but make the mourning." ”
Liu Xie said that it had to be like this, it was one thing to run to the funeral and keep the funeral, so the death of the Taiwei Cao Songxue was another thing, how should the court express it? Xun Yu and Shixun discussed while recalling the old examples, and finally settled on a few matters:
First, posthumously worship the late Taiwei and the Marquis of Feiting Cao Gong as the Taifu, and allow his son Yanzhou to assassinate the Marquis of Feiting (Cao Cao has previously been worshiped as the Marquis of Wuping).
Second, send the Taizhong doctor to ambush as an envoy, go to Qian County to announce the decree and condolences (Liu Xie originally planned to send Shi Xun, but Xun said with a wry smile, I also have to go to the funeral, how can I be an angel, Liu Xie had to name the old man), give money millions for funeral, and give pearls and jade sheng, yellow intestine inscription.
Third, thousands of people from the five schools of the Northern Army were sent to the funeral of Cao Gong.
It was Xun Xin who said that he was giving pearls and jade sheng, and he sent the five schools of the Northern Army to the funeral, Cao Song's funeral specifications were about to catch up with Huo Guang, and in the entire Han Dynasty, non-in-service officials were sent so ceremoniously by the imperial court, I am afraid that he is a scorpion - the only one. Who called Liu Xie, you don't call a few more people to come and just discuss with the two of us through and through Cao Dang? It's a big deal.
Everything was arranged, and when Shixun returned home, he was ordered to buy mourning clothes. According to the Etiquette? According to the regulations of the funeral, the mourning clothes are divided into five classes, and Xun knows that the married woman has to wear the third class of "great merit" for the funeral of her uncle, that is, Cao Miao has to wear burlap mourning clothes for her cousin Cao Song. But the relationship between me and Cao Song is far away, how should I dress?
At that moment, the guests came to discuss and came to the conclusion that for the mourning of his wife's parents, he should wear the fifth-class "hemp", that is, the clothes of fine linen, Cao Song is not Cao Miao's father, but his uncle, or according to the "Book of Rites? The Great Biography says: "The Fifth Generations are exempt. That is to say, if you don't wear mourning clothes, you can leave your left side and wear free (the same as 'ask', referring to the crown and wrap your head with a strip of white cloth) when you drive out of the funeral. It was Xun Xin who said that Cao Song is not an ordinary relative, he is the boss of my family, of course, he has to be counted in the family, yes, I will be numb.
Mourning clothes are easy to make, and there are a lot of all kinds of linen fabrics stored at home, take them out and cut them, sew them with a few stitches, and they don't have to be edging. It didn't take time for a meal, so the couple got dressed and rode to Sikong Mansion together. When I entered the door, I saw that the white and linen in front of me was full of human heads, and all the Cao and Xia Hou in Xudu rushed over. Shi Xun searched carefully, and those people in the Xiahou family were all numb, well, very good, I didn't wear it wrong.
The mourning hall has been simply arranged, and it is Xun who led his daughter-in-law to go in and kowtow to the tablet, turned his face and asked Cao Ang, has the will of the court been ordered? Cao Ang replied that a messenger had already come just now, and as he spoke, he gave Shixun a deep bow: "Grandfather won this honor, and it was all the credit of his aunt and son-in-law. It was Xun who waved his hand again and again: "This is a great contribution to the country for the Lord and the public, but for the father, Xun An has to make a contribution?" ”
Cao Cao has been lying in front of the spirit and crying bitterly, no one will listen to the advice, and all the matters of receiving relatives are done by Cao Ang - there is no official funeral, so all the relatives who come are planning to mourn together, and there are no outsiders. Cao Ang saw that the people were almost there, so he announced: "My father mourns from the bottom of my heart, and his heart is like an arrow, so he will not wait for the imperial court, and the uncles will go back to clean up, and tomorrow they will go to Qian County to mourn." ”
Everyone agreed in unison, and they planned to leave. At this moment, suddenly a childish voice sounded in the corner: "I'll wait for everyone to leave, what should I do in the middle of the capital?" Nothing?! It was Xun who glanced at it, and it turned out to be Cao Pi, the second eldest of the Cao family.
"Huh?" Hearing Cao Pi's words, Cao Cao suddenly raised his head.
