Days are everlasting

Of course, Cao Rui did not launch a fatal blow to those who advocated metaphysics so early, he was still boiling the frog in warm water, preparing to take his time.

Although Cao Pi defeated Sun Quan, in order to stabilize his mind, he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue it, and did not implement follow-up measures, which led to another comeback of the Jiangdong regime.

From the point of view of the unbeatable Xiaoqiang alone, Sun Quan may also have the aura of the protagonist.

In September, Grand Sima Cao Xiu and General Sun Wu Lu Xun fought at Shiting. They were defeated at first, but later they used gunpowder to barely maintain Cao Wei's deterrence.

Because of this, Sima Shi was quickly promoted from a casual cavalry servant to the Central Guard Army when he was rewarded for his meritorious service, just like a shining new star in the court.

Unlike Qin Lang, who is the adopted son of Cao Cao and has a close relationship with Cao Rui and is favored because of this, Master Sima has real talents and real learning.

Today's evaluation of officials in court is mainly from several different aspects. Either this person has special specialties and is a genius, or this person has the ability to govern the world, or this person has insight and knowledge, and can recommend him. Minister.

Qin Lang didn't match anything, but at least he had the advantage of being cautious. He had a deep relationship with the old Cao family. He was considered a half clan. Compared with Mao Zeng, he was already a good choice. Most people still don't comment on Cao Rui's reuse of Qin Lang.

Cao Rui's prestige became stronger and stronger. Unlike the time of the first emperor Cao Pi, the gentry felt threatened by the current emperor.

The first emperor suppressed the clan, and although Cao Rui, the emperor, was also quite afraid of his uncle Cao Zhi, he valued the other clans very much.

Typical representatives are Qin Lang and Cao Yu, who had a good relationship with him since childhood. Qin Lang is the half-brother of Cao Rui's uncle, who is considered to be half of the clan, and Cao Yu is the youngest son of Cao Cao and Mrs. Huan.

In fact, although there is also a reason for the son of the emperor and the courtiers, Sima Yi, one of the auxiliary ministers left by the late emperor to Cao Rui, has a tendency to be gradually excluded.

It's not that his status is obviously turbulent, but that Cao Rui doesn't trust Sima Yi as much as the late emperor.

For Master Sima, what is fortunate now is that Cao Rui relied on several clans, foreign relatives and powerful ministers, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu and others, who will not live in this world for a long time, and after that, Sima Yi will As someone Cao Rui must rely on, the future of the Sima family is quite promising.

Although Cao Zhen was responsible for resisting Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition in the spring of the second year of Taihe and the second Northern Expedition at the end of this year, Sima Yi later played a pivotal role in resisting Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition and the attack on Shu.

In the three years of Taihe, there was no major event in Luoyang City, but ordinary personnel transfers, the death of a minister, and minor adjustments to the system.

It is worth mentioning that Cao Rui's second son, Fanyang King Cao Mu, is gone.

Cao Rui's eldest son, Qinghe King Cao Jiong, was conferred the title of prince when he ascended the throne in the seventh year of Huang Chu, but it was a pity that he died in the same year.

When Cao Jia died of illness, although Cao Rui was sad, he still had his second son, Cao Mu, as a backup, so besides being sad, there was always hope, but now, Cao Mu, who was named the King of Fanyang, was gone. Now that there is no male under his knees, it can be said to be a great blow to him.

Of course, the absence of a prince does not mean that Cao Rui has no other children.

He still has one daughter left now, Cao Rui doesn't have as many heirs as his father and grandfather, so naturally he loves the child very much, but he doesn't have the idea of ​​letting his daughter become the empress in his heart, no matter what, he still needs a man to inherit the throne.

Regarding Cao Rui's combat ability, Master Sima was still very confident.

Cao Cao and Cao Pi's father and son have been criticized for their female sex, but they are still within the normal range. However, Cao Rui's harem is now nearly ten thousand.

Although the number of palace maids, as well as palace maids left over from the late emperor and the former Han Dynasty were included, this is already quite frightening.

If it weren't for Jinwu Emperor Sima Yan as the founding king in a certain sense-although he relied on the accumulation of his grandfather, uncle and father-he had a stronger sense of existence than Cao Rui, and the luck of driving sheep and chariots was really eye-catching. On the issue of color, it is not Sima Yan but Cao Rui who needs to be written about during the Wei, Jin and Three Kingdoms periods.

However, Cao Rui, who is so powerful in combat, has fewer heirs than his father and grandfather. The sum of all his children is estimated to be only a fraction of that of his father's ancestors, or even less.

If the offspring is not going well, Cao Rui can only ask his ancestors to bless him.

Although he was asking for his ancestors, Master Sima had to say that Cao Rui did not forget his roots.

Cao Song, who was posthumously named Emperor Tai, was Cao Teng's adopted son. Although they could be adopted, there must be a relationship between them, and they may even be close relatives. However, Cao Teng is an eunuch!

Even so, it did not stop Cao Rui from chasing after his ancestors.

On June 26th of the third year of Taihe, five days after the death of Cao Mu, the king of Fanyang, Cao Rui made Cao Teng, the adoptive father of Cao Song, Da Changqiu of the Eastern Han Emperor Huan, Cao Teng, the adoptive father of the Tai Emperor, as Emperor Gao. The wife of Shi Wu is Empress Gao.

All the ministers in the court understand His Majesty's thoughts. His son has just died, and he is the only one at present. Please be considerate and considerate of him, it will be fine.

It was at this time that Cao Rui showed the nature of a madman in his palace in the future. He changed the view of flatness to the view of hearing lawsuits, rebuilt it, and built the Cao Wei Luoyang Ancestral Temple to enshrine the gods of the first emperors.

Cao Pi also built palaces, but Cao Pi liked hunting more. Compared with Cao Pi's, Cao Rui's hobbies seemed less environmentally friendly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the fourth year of Taihe, and the vanity case, which was as tragic as the two disasters of party imprisonment in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, finally kicked off.

The young gentry who participated in the flashy fair, they judged the characters in the discussion, and commented on political philosophy through the discussion and debate. For the emperor Cao Rui, this was obviously not what he wanted to see.

The emperor naturally hoped that the imperial power would prosper. Even if someone came to distribute the power, the emperor hoped that it would be those clan and vassal kings in the "feudal relatives", his relatives and relatives, not the nobles.

In April of the second year of Taihe, Cao Rui not only ordered in the imperial decree that "all those who are flashy and do not follow the principles of morality will be dismissed", but also prepared to look good to a group of young people who often participate in flashy fairs.

He approved that Yousi could detain the leaders of the Vanity Fair, and there were more than a dozen unlucky ones who were imprisoned.

Although Sima Shi and Cao Rui had a good relationship and did not need to be imprisoned, he was temporarily disqualified from going to the early court and imprisoned in the mansion.

He Yan and Xia Houxuan received the same treatment as Master Sima. After all, He Yan is a veritable son-in-law, and Xia Houxuan is Cao Rui's nephew who is now mainly relying on Cao Zhen. It is really not easy to kill a familiar one!

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there were always a lot of names of characters. The names of the Seven Sons of Jian'an, the Eight Dragons of the Xun Family, and Sima Bada were all leftovers from the end of the Han Dynasty.

The young people who participated in the Vanity Fair were also divided into ranks according to their reputation.

First of all, Sicong, headed by Xia Houxuan, is considered to be the top group of people in the vanity school, and their level is comparable; followed by Bada——and Sima Fang’s eight sons all have a "character" in their "words". "Da" and both have outstanding talents, so the total name Bada is somewhat similar, but there are still differences - Bada's level is a little lower than Sicong's, and the typical representative is Zhuge Dan, who is Zhuge Liang's younger brother; the last is Sanyu, these three people are the three least famous in the future among the unlucky ones in the vanity case, but their fathers are all talented people, so the composition of Sanyu's personnel is the most clearly known to future generations.Others gave them the title of "Sanyu" and juxtaposed them, almost because of the fame of their parents, they barely counted them as reserve soldiers.

The specific personnel of Sicong and Bada in the Fuhua case are not clearly recorded in history books.

Sima Shi didn't know what the situation was like in history. Anyway, in this life, he and Xia Houxuan were the two top figures in the four congregations. The two of them are the most famous and most respected.

Sima Shi felt that he was in a much better situation compared to the one in history. After all, Cao Rui counted him as one of his own in this life. No matter what happened to Cao Rui, he would not do anything to him after knowing that he was an ally. .

For specific manifestations, you can refer to Cao Pi’s practice in Wei Xi’s rebellion case in the 24th year of Jian’an. The Jingzhou scholar group suffered a major blow, and the Qiaopei Group also suffered a lot, but a Ruying faction that had direct contact with Wei Xi Under Cao Pi's blatant favoritism, the boss survived the storm unscathed.

Just as Cao Pi set off the storm of Wei satire's rebellion case, Cao Rui single-handedly led the vanity case, which was similar to the third disaster of the party since the end of Han Dynasty. Respect Confucianism and Confucian classics, and consolidate royal power.

But Cao Rui also needs manpower. Although many old ministers are still in their prime, some of them can no longer hold on. Sooner or later, the future will be ruled by young people.

The most important thing is that many of the people involved in the vanity case and who have been "dismissed" are the heirs of important officials in the court, and the members of Sanyu are the closest confidants of Cao Rui.

It can be said that the original purpose of Cao Rui's flamboyant case was to kill chickens to scare monkeys, but this storm has involved many officials in the court. Those chickens that Cao Rui thought would be "killed" now seem to be no less important than "cows" !

The author has something to say: Many of the group of people implicated in the vanity case will be awesome big shots in the future. Many people have been suppressed for so long during the reign of Ming Emperor Cao Rui, and they have more or less psychological problems!The typical representative is my classmate Jinjing Emperor Ashi!

Look at the Sima family, look at Zhongda's performance, not counting the situation when Sima Yan replaced Wei later. Although Zhongda has the demeanor of a powerful minister, he is also a generation of conscientious and good ministers!Then Zhongda changed to Master...

The Sima family consciously began to erode Cao Wei's power, doing what Wang Mang and A Man did on behalf of him, it should be A Shi who started it first!

Xia Houxuan, a good friend who played so well back then, said he was slaughtered, and he secretly raised dead soldiers. He was only a few years older than his brother Azhao, but he slept so calmly at such an important moment before the Gaoping Mausoleum. Let's talk about the youthful years when he was caught in the Ming Emperor's flashy case. A master's psychological development and the problems in it are worth discussing!
