Days are everlasting

Chapter 111 Undefeated

Mrs. Guo is also an old man who entered Cao Rui's backyard in the early years of Huang Chu, and she is quite favored.

When Cao Rui canonized Empress Mao's father and brothers, he actually also canonized his wife Guo's relatives by the way.

But Queen Mao's family is too superb, and Mrs. Guo's family is relatively low-key, so most of the firepower has been transferred to Queen Mao's family.

Empress Mao has gradually fallen out of favor. After all, Cao Rui even deposed his wife, the Yu family, back to Ye Palace for her a few years ago. There is a tendency of psychological imbalance, Cao Rui does not want to be controlled like this, especially because of his way of doing things in the past, Empress Mao was able to succeed.

It's hard to be a regular wife, especially one like Empress Mao who is in love with her. Now that the man has moved on, the situation is even more embarrassing.

Mrs. Guo's degree of favor at the beginning was second only to Queen Mao, but now that Queen Mao's favor is declining day by day, Mrs. Guo's status is even more prominent.

And now, Mrs. Guo is pregnant with a dragon fetus. For Cao Rui, this may be his future hope!

Although there are King Qin and King Qi in the palace now, they are sons of the clan, not Cao Rui's sons. If he could let his own son succeed him, how could Cao Rui give up?

If Cao Rui's heart is already ashamed, are the huge number of beauties in his harem just pretending to be good-looking?

Even if it is a Mingjun, when there is a possibility of his own son succeeding to the throne, no matter how unreasonable things are, he can do it.

Song Renzong, who was also childless and passed on the throne to the clan son, when the ministers forced him to establish a crown prince, and he didn't want to give up trying to give birth to his own son, but because he was childless, he had a relationship with the queen. Weeping in the middle of the night!

Renzong's father, Zhenzong, almost died of heirs, but Renzong was born and survived. At that time, Zhenzong, who saw his son raised him, was overjoyed, and sent back the clan son who was raised in the palace in a blink of an eye.

However, the situation in the Song Dynasty was different from that of Cao Wei. Although the Song Dynasty was also surrounded by powerful enemies, the Central Plains area was stable at that time. Unlike Cao Wei, in addition to the Hu people as foreign enemies, they also stood side by side with Eastern Wu and Western Shu.

In terms of the degree of turmoil, Cao Wei's current situation is much more complicated than that of Song Zhenzong's later period and Song Renzong's time.

But Cao Rui is still in his prime after all, who would curse himself and think that he would die young?Ordinary people would not think this way, let alone the emperor Cao Rui.

When Mrs. Guo conceived in October and gave birth to the prince, Cao Rui even pardoned the world with the same old practice at the birth of the prince Yin who had died.

Cao Rui named his only son Shao, which meant succession. As soon as the name was chosen, all the princes and clan knew that if the prince could support him, the emperor would make him his heir.

After the eldest son of the emperor, Cao Jiong, and the second son, Cao Mu, died early, another prince was born, named Yin, "Yin, Da Ye; Zhong Ye", the meaning of the name of the prince Yin should be the meaning of "public", It shows that the emperor still hoped that he would have more children and more blessings, but now it seems that the emperor's hope has dropped a lot, and he only hopes that the prince Shao can grow up successfully and inherit the throne.

When I think of Cao Cao and Cao Pi, there are many heirs, and the officials need to worry about who the prince is among the princes. In Cao Rui's generation, the princes will not seize the heir, but even the orthodox heir can't be found. .

In March of the fifth year of Qinglong, the emperor announced that the yuan would be changed to Jingchu, and the next month would be April of the first year of Jingchu.

Shortly after Prince Shao was born, his wife, Guo Shi, was a concubine of Jin. In September, Empress Mao fell out of favor for the crime of spying on the emperor, and was bestowed to death. In October, Prince Shao gave birth to his mother, Empress Guo Jin.

Compared with the historical fact that the Guo family was not established as the empress until Cao Rui was seriously ill, he is much more straightforward in this life, but this is also a very normal thing. Who made Empress Guo give birth to Cao Rui's only son, the prince Shao? What about Zigui?

However, he said to Empress Mao, whom he had loved for so many years, that if he was to die, he would die. Although he felt displeased at being spied on and the servants around him revealed his whereabouts, it could also explain the fickleness of this person.

Also in the first year of Jingchu, in July, Gonggong Sunyuan of Lelang rebelled, proclaimed himself king of Yan, set up a hundred officials, established the title of Shaohan, proclaimed his ministers to Wu, and begged for his Northern Expedition; The Hu tribe invaded the border of Cao Wei.

Shao Han means to continue Han Zuo. Although the title of "King Yan" was canonized when Soochow came into contact with them, Gongsun Yuan said that I am the representative of the Han Dynasty!

Regarding Gongsun Yuanchou's shameless borrowing of the name of a big man, the nominally orthodox Han Zuo continued the power of Shu Han, saying: Excuseme?

The descendant of Han Xiaoxian Emperor Liu Xie, who was conferred the posthumous title of Emperor Cao Rui by Cao Pi and was given the posthumous title by Cao Rui again after his death, and the current Cao Wei Shanyang Duke said: Excuseme?

In fact, the rebellion of Gongsun Yuan in Liaodong had been expected for a long time. Even his brother said that this buddy had a lot of ambitions, but Cao Rui just didn't accept it.

Gongsun Yuan's elder brother is called Gongsun Huang, and he was an official in Luoyang, the capital of Cao Wei, because of the Ren Zi system.

The Renzi system is actually a system that existed in the Western Han Dynasty. It should have appeared in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty. Obviously, the period between the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty experienced another major reshuffle, and the aftermath was delayed a lot before it broke out.

"Han Guan Yi" records: "Officials with more than two thousand stones and three years of age can be appointed as the sons of the same birth."

What does that mean?To put it simply, your father is a high-ranking official with more than [-] shi, and after three years of service, he can appoint "Tongshengruozi" as a Langguan.

Take Sima Shi and his family as an example. Sima Yi's official position meets the requirement of more than two thousand stones, and he has been in office for more than three years. bureaucracy.

As for the favored officials, the heirs are not only Lang Guan, but it is also normal for the prince to wash the horse, the prince's bastard, that is, the confidant of the future emperor.

Later, when the son-in-law system developed, although it was stipulated that only one son could be enshrined in name, two or three sons and even the rest of the family were also common.

During the Han Dynasty, there were many situations in which high-ranking foreign relatives intervened in politics, and there were many aristocrats and noble families thereafter. !

And those noble families who have passed on for countless years, speaking of their ancestors, are generally high-ranking officials in the Han Dynasty, and the root cause is because of this system.

This is probably the same meaning for the low-rank non-gentry clan who developed the nine-rank Zhongzheng system to the later stage, but it is more famous than the Renzi system.

And Gongsun Huang, as the eldest grandson of Liaodong prefect Gongsun Du, and the eldest son of Liaodong prefect Gongsun Kang—yes, Liaodong, as the basic foundation of the Gongsun family, is so cool. General Cavalry, the eldest nephew of Ping Guohou Gongsun Gong, should be the first heir of the Gongsun family.

Although he and his younger brother were young when his father Gongsun Kang died, and the Liaodong officials supported Gongsun Gong as the prefect, but Gongsun Gong lost his fertility due to illness. Everyone knew that he could not bear children. If you want to have descendants to sacrifice after death, you have to treat Gongsun Kang's two sons well. Therefore, Gongsun Huang's status has not changed much because of his father's death.

But Gongsun Huang's younger brother obviously couldn't wait. Anyway, his uncle Gongsun Gong couldn't have his own descendants. He pinched his nose and recognized this fact.

At that time, Gongsun Huang frequently wrote letters, expressing his brother's ambition and rebellion.

According to the law of etiquette, Gongsun Gong has no heirs of his own. The order of successors is first Gongsun Huang, followed by Gongsun Yuan. Although Gongsun Huang is suspected of his own power, he frequently warns Cao Wei, saying that his younger brother has disobedience He can be regarded as a good minister of Wei.

However, after Gongsun Yuan established himself as King of Yan, Cao Rui, who was furious, unexpectedly wanted to kill Gongsun Huang first.

Gongsun Huang and all the ministers in the court: Are you really sober, Your Majesty?

Although it seemed that Cao Rui was going too far, but thinking about it carefully, Master Sima felt that he could understand why Cao Rui did this.

Gongsun Yuan and his son were already on Cao Wei's must-death list. If Gongsun Huang died too, the remaining Gongsun Gong, who could not have offspring, would serve as a signboard for Cao Wei to establish a good reputation.

It's not that Cao Rui made a big fuss, but that the Gongsun family has run three generations in Liaodong, and there are many people who are loyal to them. If Cao Wei wants to stabilize the rear, he can't leave hope for the people there.

But after a group of people persuaded him, Cao Rui changed his treatment of Gongsun Huang. At any rate, he had reminded Wei so many times before, and he was regarded as a loyal minister who had a heart for Wei. Cao Wei couldn't let his subjects renounce!

Sima Shi: It is better to kill him simply and neatly than to move him to a remote place and slowly "death" him!

In the first month of the second year of Jingchu, Cao Rui summoned Taiwei Sima Yi to return to Luoyang from Chang'an, and ordered him to conquer Liaodong. At the same time, he issued a decree that was beyond everyone's expectations: order Sima Shi to raise the prince Shao.

Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the former Han Dynasty, could not support his son, so after Empress He gave birth to a son, he raised his son Liu Bian in a Taoist family surnamed Shi. Before the young emperor Liu Bian ascended the throne, he was also called Shi Hou.

But he is still a Taoist priest at any rate, and he has a religious basis, so what's the point of raising the prince in a white family who was relegated because of the vanity case and then resigned automatically?

If it is to express trust in the Taiwei Sima Yi, then why is it Sima Shi?

What's more, Cao Rui recalled the Taiwei from Chang'an all the way, and ordered him to conquer Liaodong. Many people thought this was a sign of his distrust.

To transfer Sima Yi away from his original sphere of influence and send him on an expedition, the next step is to decentralize power.

At this time, a group of ministers brought up the matter of Cao Rui summoning Sima Shi to the palace.

Could it be that the emperor remembered his childhood friendship and wanted to revive Master Sima?

So Master Sima has recovered, what about the other flashy people?

Sima Shi, who was forced to accept a prince: Meow meow?

Afterwards, as everyone expected, Sima Shi was quickly reinstated, and he was still in the old position, one of the starting-level official positions of the descendant or only son of a high-ranking minister. Still a little bit taller.

Cao Rui issued an order to order Sima Fu, Minister of Duzhi, and Sima Shi, the regular servant of Sanqi, to send off Sima Yi, the Taiwei.

Sima Fu, whose style name is Shuda, ranks third among Sima Bada. He is cautious. The position of Duzhi Shangshu is an important position in charge of the world's finances established during Cao Pi's period. It can be seen that Sima Fu is deeply trusted by Emperor Cao Wei.

In Master Sima's memory, this uncle with the style of ancient Confucianism was a loyal supporter of Cao Wei. He had shown his loyalty to the Cao Wei royal family many times, and the Sima royal family's face was swollen.

After the death of grandfather Sima Fang, his uncle's words and deeds were in line with the etiquette advocated by ancient Confucianism.

Mr. Sima Fang, who was able to let his son take a concubine during the early years of Huang Dynasty, lived longer than Sima Shi remembered in history. This is one of the reasons why Sima Shi thought that this world might be a parallel world.

When Sima Fang was gone, Sima Yi, as Cao Pi's confidant, was already an important minister of Cao Wei, and Sima Fu was no less confidant, they were all Cao Pi's confidantes.

At that time, Sima Fu's disfigured appearance because of his father's death scared many people!

The relationship between Sima Shi and Sima Fu is not very deep. Apart from the fact that Sima Shi has his own circle of friends as a junior, it is also because Sima Fu, a diehard Cao Wei loyalist, is too respectful and serious. get close.

The vanity case has brought bad luck to so many people, and Sima Shi is also a famous one among them. However, Sima Fu, who has always been educated in the traditional Confucianism, still clapped his hands and said yes, which made Sima Shi a little unacceptable.

But if they are not too close, if they just get along as ordinary relatives, Sima Fu is not bad.

Both Sima Fu and Sima Shi were ordered to see Sima Yi off, and Sima Fu told Sima Fu to pay attention to the little prince, and Sima Yi agreed one by one.

In any case, Sima Fu is still thinking about the development of the Sima family - Sima Fu's attitude after the Sima family became more and more powerful in history is another matter, Sima Shi will listen to good suggestions.

The little prince Cao Shao is indeed a very important person. With him, Sima's replacement of Wei may not be so criticized.

Sima Shi and Sima Fu saw Sima Yi off, passing by his hometown of Wen County, Hanoi. Hearing the last words of "return to old age, wait for the sin of Wuyang", Sima Shi's face changed suddenly, and he still hid a sneer.

His father, Sima Yi, had been stationed in Yongliang for several years, and although he had accumulatively obtained feudal titles and official positions, he had been conscientious and conscientious. He didn't even have any relatives to help him.

In the fourth year of Qinglong, Sima Yi presented the auspicious white deer. Cao Rui actually compared it with the Duke of Zhou, saying, "In the past, the Duke of Zhou became king with the tribute of the pheasant. Now the king is appointed by Shaanxi, and he has the gift of the white deer."

Duke Zhou is naturally a good one, but you must know that the last great sage who was compared with Duke Zhou was Wang Mang who usurped the Han Dynasty at the end of the Western Han Dynasty with the support of many officials in the court at that time!

Fortunately, just like Cao Cao couldn't catch Sima Yi's fault when he suspected him back then, Cao Rui also couldn't see what was wrong with the old captain who had been away from home and stationed in Yongliang. After all, Sima Yi was not like the later Cao Shuang. The radish is brought out of the mud, and there are a lot of cronies for people to find. Apart from relatives, Sima Yi seems to be a simple lonely minister!

From the fact that Cao Rui dared to entrust his only son to Master Sima, we can also know that he still has trust in the Sima family. This trust value may increase, decrease or fluctuate, but it is not low now, and that is enough.

Once a person's physical condition deteriorates, his thinking will be confused, and his emotions will become more emotional. With the only son Cao Shao entrusted by Cao Rui himself, Master Sima can't be said to be sure of winning, but he can also be invincible.

The author has something to say: "Book of Jin·Xuan Di Ji" records: The emperor sighed, felt a sense of loss, and wrote a song: "The heaven and the earth are opened up, the sun and the moon are shining again. When encountering a meeting, I will go all out. I will sweep the filth and return to my hometown. Clean up Thousands of miles, there will always be eight desolations. Retire to old age, and wait for sin Wuyang."
