Days are everlasting

In fact, it is normal to think about it. Although the Wei army was defeated last time, it was because of the number of days, not their own problems. Moreover, they still held a sigh of relief for Sun Quan in their hearts, so naturally they were all brave.

In history, Cao Pi was relatively unlucky. He encountered an epidemic when he conquered Sun Quan, and finally missed the opportunity.

But this time, he had a long memory and knew that the environment in the south was not very friendly to them. Of course, he had to take precautions, so he sang all the way to convince Sun Quan.

Sun Quan said that when he surrendered and paid tribute, he was in good spirits on happy occasions, and he convinced Sun Quan. Cao Pi thought that it was only a matter of time before he cleaned up Shuzhong. At this time, he felt that the issue of heirs needed to be considered.

Sima Yi was trusted by Cao Pi as his confidant. Back then, Cao Cheng told Xun Yu who was staying in the base camp that he was "my son-in-law", so "my Xiao He" in Cao Pi's heart was Sima Yi.

However, Cao Cao still left his son behind anyway, and exercised his son's ability when he went out, but Cao Pi is still hesitant about the issue of heirs.

This is not a good thing, especially if you look at the next door. Although Sun Quan has not established an heir, his eldest son can be said to be the favorite of all; not to mention Liu Bei, Liu Chan has long been established as the prince. There was nothing wrong with the heir at all.

The eldest son inheritance system, which has influenced China for countless years, is still very useful.

Although Cao Rui's biological mother was abolished from the status of the main family, Cao Rui, as the eldest son, still has an advantage over his brothers when everyone is a bastard.

What's more, Cao Rui, as the prince his father ordered to be raised by the childless Queen Guo, has a lot of advantages.

In the fifth year of Huangchu, Wei Emperor Cao Pi established the Taixue.

The reset of Taixue is actually a good thing, which shows that the emperor values ​​Confucian classics, but many famous masters are old people who respect tradition.

They have a lot to say about the emperor's failure to establish a prince and Cao Rui's current situation.

However, Cao Pi is also thinking about this issue now, not that anyone forced him to establish a reserve, so he did not lower his favor for Cao Rui, but began to think about this issue seriously.

As the heir, the crown prince received a different education than others. For the sake of the country, Cao Pi really had to choose an heir early and teach him carefully so that he could safely hand over the burden to him.

There is no need to repeat the specific process of seizing the heir. The process of choosing the heir of the Cao family is really a repeat of the past, and the similarities are clear at a glance.

Although it was decided to make Cao Rui the crown prince, Cao Pi did not make him the crown prince immediately.

Unlike in history, the eldest son Cao Rui was not established as the crown prince until he was dying. This time Cao Pi has already expressed his attitude, that is, he chose Cao Rui as the heir, but he did not make him the crown prince, but chose Cao Rui alone. When he came out, he was transferred from King Pingyuan to King Zhou.

After the Qin Dynasty, the four characters of Qin, Jin, Qi, and Chu were the most honorable among successive dynasties, but the title of "King of Zhou" undoubtedly had a special meaning in this period.

Cao Wei inherited the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty and took Luoyang as its capital. Even Chang'an, the capital of the Western Han Dynasty, was only one of the accompanying capitals.

The capital of the royal family of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was Luoyi, and Cao Rui named him King of Zhou. Reminiscent of the existence of Luoyang, there is no doubt that it represented Cao Pi's recognition and importance for the eldest son.

Cao Rui: I'm so happy, I'm so happy that I'm going to pass out!

Moreover, Cao Pi continued to add people to Cao Rui's mansion one after another, all of them were honest and capable people whom he praised. Among other things, he also wanted to put Sima Shi in Cao Rui's place, whose function was similar to that of a companion.

Sima Shi: Hehe, then I'd better go to Taixue to improve my reputation!

Sima Shi's time travel was not just to see the customs of ancient times, not to mention that he traveled to such a famous historical figure, even if he casually dressed as a small person, he also wanted to make contributions and leave a name in history!

Compared with Cao Cao's period, Cao Wei's use of troops against Wu and Shu in Cao Pi's period can only be regarded as a small fight.

His father is Sima Yi, so it can only be the initial political capital, and to ensure that his promotion will be faster in the future. If he himself is useless, then no matter how good his father is, it will be useless.

People later expressed their ambitions and deepened their ties with each other through what Cao Rui called the "Fashion Fair". During Cao Rui's period, he was very afraid of this group of important and famous officials who were difficult to control. of.

But now the reigning emperor is Cao Pi, and his cronies and Cao Rui's cronies are not exactly the same group of people. Cao Pi is much more tolerant than Cao Rui of his attitude towards "flavourful rendezvous". , He was not afraid to show how much he valued them.

Sima Shi: Is that why you forcefully want to be a matchmaker for the baby?

Yes, classmate Cao Pi came to Sima's house one day, and said that you are growing up, master, and it's time to get crowned and married. Why don't I be a matchmaker for your family?

Yes, it is a matchmaker, not a so-called marriage referral.

According to Master Sima’s personal understanding, such things as marriage referencing should be the original creation of a certain dynasty who “keep their hair but not their hair” in later generations. In any Han Dynasty, the emperor suddenly issued a statement to force a certain family to marry another. Daughters or forcing the daughter of a certain family to marry another family, this is not called marriage, nor is it called loving courtiers, it is called enmity!

For scholars, what is the difference between this and buying and selling their children as goods?

Of course, even the emperor of the braided dynasty, the object of marriage was limited to the so-called Eight Banners.

For the Manchu Qing emperors who ruled the world with a very small number of "nationality" Manchus, their "own people" were Manchus, so "slave" is an insulting title for Han people only in the Qing Dynasty , in the eyes of the Manchus, is the embodiment of intimacy.

You must know that in the braided dynasty, only the ministers of the Eight Banners and Manchurians like the emperor could call themselves "slaves", and the Han ministers could only be called "ministers".

All in all, "referring to marriage" is not a word that can be used casually, but if the emperor wants to match the courtier's family, it is also possible.

The emperor was only a matchmaker, and he didn't say that he must marry, which is still different.

The object Cao Pi chose for Sima Shi was Sima Shi's original wife Xia Houzheng in history, and the sister of his good friend Xia Houxuan.

Even with the current situation, the pairing of Xia Houzheng and Sima Shi is quite suitable. The most important thing is that the two of them have met before, and they have a good impression of each other.

Regarding Cao Pi's accurate introduction, Master Sima had to wonder, could it be that his father said something to His Majesty the Emperor?

Or did Cao Pi, the uncle of Xia Houxuan and Xia Houzheng, know something from them?

In any case, the candidate introduced by Cao Pi is very good. If he hadn't obeyed his parents' orders, Master Sima might have agreed shyly right away.

By the way, how did you say the line of consent that you want to say no to?

"Everything is up to the parents, the child dare not disobey?"

The Sima family said that if the girl agrees, then we have no objection. Of course, the Xiahou family welcomes such a son-in-law who knows everything.

What needs to be explained is that Xia Houxuan and Xia Houzheng's father Xia Houshang has been depressed all the way since Cao Pi ordered to kill his concubine, but Cao Pi still honors and favors him because he is an old minister. They are also very concerned about their children.

Xia Houshang still cared about his children, and besides, it was Xia Houxuan's own mother who was in charge of the family. For Sima Shi, a well-known talented young man and the eldest son of his important minister Sima Yi, he naturally had nothing against him.

Regarding Cao Pi's practice of caring more about the son of the minister's family than him, the quasi-croup Cao Rui said that he couldn't laugh and wanted to cry.

The paternal love from the father is so rare, and only in the concubine Mao's can I feel some warmth.

Yes, like grandfather and father, classmate Cao Rui is also lustful. Ever since he met Mao Shi, he has been quite cold towards his wife Yu Shi.

His Royal Highness the King of Zhou was caught and criticized for "going in and out with his concubine, taking a car with him, and where to put the princess", because although it is shameless to spoil a concubine and kill his wife, it is a personal matter, but , Cao Rui is the prospective crown prince, he must set an example, and the supporters of his younger brothers will always struggle to the death.

Cao Rui is not a prince, and he has no outstanding political achievements so far, so others can only attack him for his lack of personal morality.

However, Cao Pi, who has the same problems as Cao Rui, doesn't feel that his son has done anything wrong. Although he also hopes that his son's house will be harmonious, if his son really likes it, he can't force it, right?

Sima Shi: The men from your Cao family are really scumbags.

In fact, he said that for a reason.

In the summer and May of the seventh year of Huangchu, Emperor Cao Pi suddenly died of a serious illness in the Jiade Palace. Cao Rui, King of Jin and Zhou before his death, became the crown prince. General Sima Yi assisted the successor.

The crown prince Cao Rui succeeded to the throne, and the Mao family was made the noble concubine, but the Zhou princess Yu family failed to be crowned queen.

Princess Zhou is a straight-hearted and honest person. Cao Rui's mother, Zhen Shi, was only "heard about" back then. It was gossip that she had resentment towards Cao Pi, but Yu Shi shouted it out openly.

Seeing that Mrs. Mao was going to follow the old path of Queen Guo being promoted to be a queen, and Mrs. Yu herself was going to follow in Mrs. Zhen's footsteps, she became indignant.

Empress Dowager Bian dissuaded her, but she said this: "Cao's self-esteem is inferior, and there is no one who can act righteously."

The simple translation of this sentence is that your old Cao family has always liked to set up those "sluts", and never judged people by virtue!

Yu's words made the Empress Dowager Bian and the Empress Guo embarrassing. Although her main target was the Mao family, she humiliated the Taizu Wu Emperor Cao Cao, the former Emperor Gaozu Wen Emperor Cao Pi and their queens. That would be very annoying.

So when the Yu family was deposed by Cao Rui "from Mrs. Ding's story" and returned to Ye Palace, the number of people who spoke for her was far less than the number of people who spoke for Zhen's back then.

It's okay for Cao Rui to choose to be a scumbag, Master Sima doesn't care, after all, nili old Cao's family really seems to be rich in scumbags.

But he made up his mind to introduce the younger brother of the noble concubine Mao's family - presumably this is the future empress - into the circle of nobles in Luoyang City, and he still needs their support from such aristocratic families, Sima Shi is not happy.

The author has something to say: Ah Pi took the bento QAQ actually didn't want Ah Pi to take the bento, but Ah Pi continued to live... Well, this volume can really end the whole drama.

The protagonist may be replaced by Master's son or something hahaha [It's not funny, okay! 】
