Days are everlasting

Although Cao Pi is different from his father Cao Cao, he is not a very good wife, but he is not the one who cleans himself up. There are many beauties in the backyard. It is only because the Zhen family gave birth to his eldest son, Cao Rui, who is beautiful and favored. Jin became his wife.

When Master Sima visited Cao Pi's mansion again, he saw the woman who had a lot of power in the history of Cao Wei's later period and "contributed a lot" in the process of Sima's replacing Wei, Queen Guo.

Queen Guo's name is quite domineering. If she hadn't been born in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, and there are many talents in this era, maybe her reputation would be comparable to that of the later Sui Wen Emperor Dugu Jialuo and Zetian Great Emperor.

Not to mention how she will be in the future, but now, she is a docile person. Although she is Cao Pi's new favorite because of her looks, she is quite courageous and strategic. If she didn't know that Cao Pi would eventually abolish the Zhen family, no one would even I think this woman will be the queen who will become the mother of the world in the end.

Seeing her, Master Sima felt that the sentence "Serving others with talent is good, while serving others with color" is really too inductive.

Cao Pi's backyard is of course separated from the front yard, except for his wife, Zhen Shi, who is the main wife, who can easily meet outsiders, no one else can.

So although Master Sima had stayed in the Cao Mansion for a long time, he had never seen any of the beauties in Cao Pi's backyard except for one named Zhen.

This is also what a rich family should have. The powerful and noble families marry each other, but they have never said that they want to marry their daughters to others as concubines. Therefore, under normal circumstances, those concubines come from families who are not on the table. This is called low status.

But the royal family is different. In the past, after the election of the Han Palace, no matter what kind of family background, as long as the woman is beautiful, she can enter the palace. On the contrary, women with extremely high family background are in the minority.

Not all powerful families are willing to send their daughters into the palace.

Unlike later generations of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties who were only willing to choose concubines from the Eight Banners to consolidate the rule of the Manchu nobles, Han emperors generally did not pay attention to any harem to check and balance the previous dynasty. woman.

It is precisely because the harem has little to do with the previous dynasty, the harem of the Han emperors is what they say, and they have the final say on who they favor, even the cowardly Huidi Liu Ying, even under the threat of his mother Married my niece, but never touched her, and Empress Lu was helpless.

Queen Guo was also a descendant of an official family in the past, but her family background was not enough to be called a family. Later, the family was defeated due to the war, and it was even more not enough to be called a family.

At first, Second Young Master Cao fell in love with her appearance, and entered his backyard. As long as her appearance was good enough and her family background could be called innocent, that would be enough.

But later, in this precarious time, as long as she is smart enough, there will always be a chance to succeed.

Although a man values ​​a woman's virtue, there must be a prerequisite, that is, the woman's appearance remains the same, and the man's love for her remains the same.

Otherwise, if the color fades and the love relaxes, no matter how much the character is praised, it will not escape the final ending of falling out of favor.

If the relationship between Cao Pi and the Zhen family is extremely stable, then relying on the current Zhen family's reputation as a virtuous person, there will be a happy ending in the end, but in Sima Shi's memory, in the end because Cao Pi doted on Queen Guo, the Zhen family was only a little Showing resentment, she was given death by her husband.

Queen Guo was later honored as Empress Dowager Guo by Cao Rui.

Although Cao Rui was the eldest son of Cao Pi, his status as a direct son was shaky after his mother, the Zhen family, was gifted to death and Queen Guo ascended the throne again.

If Queen Guo didn't have a biological child, she could only win over him, and Cao Rui respected Queen Guo as her mother in order to regain his father's favor. It is unknown how the Wei Guohui will develop in the future.

However, it is precisely because Cao Rui is not the parent and son of Queen Guo, and Cao Fang after Cao Rui is not a descendant of Cao Pi. Cheng, it can be said that at the beginning of the Sima family's replacement of Wei, they were able to successfully eliminate a cadre of clans to gain a foothold, which had a lot to do with Queen Guo's support.

But now, Cao Pi is not even the prince of Wei, but when he was just Prince Pi, as his concubine, Queen Guo seemed to be just a very beautiful woman who was very responsible.

The meeting between Sima Shi and Queen Guo was still because of Cao Rui.

Mrs. Zhen is still the wife of the wife, and Cao Rui is still the favored eldest son, so his temper is naturally not very good.

Queen Guo has been favored recently, and the Zhen family suffered a disadvantage in front of her, Cao Rui was not angry, of course he wanted to vent his anger for his mother.

If it is placed in the Jin Dynasty, if there is a master who spoils his concubine and destroys his wife in the aristocratic family, either the wife swallows her anger and parted ways with her husband, or the wife is the first to attack and destroy the flowers with harsh hands. Unfortunately, it is not the family of the Jin Dynasty now. When the power was in power, and the identity of Cao Pi and the Cao family were different from those of ordinary families.

In terms of female sex, Cao Pi is like the corresponding royal family, and cannot be judged by ordinary etiquette, especially in this troubled time.

In troubled times, human life is as cheap as grass, and so is female sex.

Cao Rui invited Sima Shi to see Queen Guo, and he was not angry. He wanted to play a prank with Sima Shi to punish her, but Sima Shi was not willing to do such a thing.

His mentality is not like that of an ordinary child, and it is not possible to explain it to Cao Pi with the excuse of unintentional mistakes.

If it was just being led by Cao Rui to the backyard to meet Queen Guo, that would be fine, and it could be explained by unintentional, if something really went wrong, it would be beyond debate.

Cao Pi's control over his backyard is obviously not weak. When Cao Rui was unwilling to eat snacks at Queen Guo's place with Sima Shi, Mrs. Zhen hurried over. Not long after she arrived, Cao Rui and Sima Shi saw her. Cao Pi.

Sima Shi: That's amazing, my Mr. Pi!

To use Wudang Zhenren Zhang's lines instead, it is neither bad nor bad, and it comes really fast.

Simply Cao Rui still talked about loyalty, and did not confess to Master Sima, and the two of them made another confession, saying that because they thought the flowers in Queen Guo's yard were blooming beautifully, they accidentally went to her when they lost their minds. of.

Although Cao Pi was well aware of Cao Rui's recent thoughts, but seeing that he did not do anything out of the ordinary today, he just reprimanded him and told him not to indulge himself too much. With Cao Cao going out, he is older than Sima Shi, so he can't bring bad people.

Even from the perspective of an outsider, Master Sima, it can be seen that Cao Pi treats his son better than his relatives and friends who are pleasing to the eye.

Although Cao Cao treated his adopted sons very well, and treated them better than his own sons, even Cao Pi would suffer from the insolent He Yan, but they were still adopted sons anyway, not to mention, Cao Pi did not become a prince, and Cao Cao's other sons did not become princes. The most favored son in his family, the son he valued the most.

And Cao Rui is Cao Pi's eldest son, but Cao Pi's attitude towards him has gradually become a little cold, which shows that there is something wrong with their father-son relationship.

Cao Rui didn't realize it, but it was because Cao Pi didn't have a son who was old enough to compete with Cao Rui.

Cao Rui also has a few concubine brothers now, but because they are not old enough, they can't play with Sima Zhao, let alone pose any threat to him.

But in the future, these younger brothers of Cao Rui will grow up.

And Cao Pi treated the eldest son coldly, perhaps because the eldest son was more favored by Cao Cao, and the time between father and son was not much, and the relationship was weak.

Speaking of which, if Prime Minister Cao hadn't ordered troops to go out again, Cao Rui really didn't have time to think about how to deal with his father's concubine-and for a man who wants to stabilize the country, he cares about the woman in his father's backyard. If it didn't threaten his life or status, it would be too much.

Cao Cao went on an expedition to beg Liu Bei who had just gained a firm foothold in the middle of Shu. Sima Yi accompanied him and entrusted the second son to take care of his house before leaving.

Sima Yi has seven brothers, and eight of them are called "Sima Bada".

The relationship between the Sima brothers is not bad, but there is a big age difference, and the descendants of the next generation do not live together. The different brothers are either neutral or have someone to support, or they are just a small official. Anyway, Sima The teacher felt that his family did not have much contact with the uncle's house, probably because the family had already separated and they lived not too close.

As for why Sima Yi entrusted Master Sima to Cao Pi, he was really not sure.

Cao Cao led the army to go out, no matter how much the territory expanded, as long as they could win, it would be a good thing for them.

It's just that during the Battle of Chibi, Cao Wei's vitality was seriously injured, and the alliance between Sun and Liu was still relatively stable. It was really impossible to do it easily. Seeing that Cao Cao's generation's hope of unifying the world has become increasingly slim.

In the 20th year of Jian'an, Zhang Lu surrendered, and Cao Jun won the land of Hanzhong. Because Liu Bei refused, he returned to the army.

At the same time when Cao Jun conquered Hanzhong, because Liu Bei had already captured Yizhou, Sun Quan sent Zhuge Jin to ask for Jingzhou back, but Liu Bei refused to give it back. Sun Quan was furious and sent troops to the three counties.

Under the enemy's back and forth, Liu Bei gave Sun Quan all the territory east of the land of the three counties, and concentrated on dealing with Cao Cao.

After getting Liu Bei's promise, Sun Quan turned to attack Hefei, and was attacked by Cao's general Zhang Liao. If his generals hadn't rescued him, he might have died.

The previous battle report came back, in addition to the specific results of the war, it was a famous saying from the mouth of Prime Minister Cao, "People suffer from dissatisfaction, once they have Longyou, they want to regain Shu".

But Sima Yi said that after Cao Cao won Hanzhong, he asked him to attack Shu as soon as possible-because Liu Bei tried to break Liu Zhang, and then raised troops to fight against Sun Quan when Yizhou was not stable-Cao Cao used this sentence to retort.

As Sima Yi's son, Sima Shi must of course support his father.

In his opinion, what Sima Yi said was very reasonable. If the people in Shuzhong were not attached, it would be better than letting Liu Bei manage this place into a base camp and then attack it later, right?

When Liu Bei is under attack, you can always give it a try, right?

Even if you don't try, didn't Sun Quan over there attack Hefei in a blink of an eye?

Of course, as far as Master Sima is concerned, Prime Minister Cao is still pending, and the situation of the Three Kingdoms will continue for decades. In the future, it will be of great help to the foundation of the Sima family, but it will be harmful to the Cao family itself.

If the Cao family had eliminated the Sun family and Liu Bei early, I am afraid that the promotion of the Sima family will not be so easy in the future, and they will not hold so much military power in their hands, but now, I am afraid that it will be the same as history.

Although Sima Shi got along well with Cao Pi and Cao Rui, it was because of this that he didn't feel guilty about Sima's succession to Wei in the future.

In history, Emperor Wei Ming Cao Rui did not have his own biological son, so he could only adopt the son of the clan to inherit the Datong.

And his successor, King Cao Fang of Qi, was not even a descendant of Cao Pi, but a descendant of Cao Zhang.

After Cao Fang, the successor to the throne was the concubine of Cao Pi's heirs, but it was the general Cao Shuang who controlled the power, and Cao's internal affairs had long been uneven.

As far as Master Sima is concerned, in the era of Cao Pi, Cao Rui and even Cao Fang, the Sima family were still loyal ministers of the Cao family, and he did not feel guilty at all.

As for the future, at the very least, his descendants will not derogate Cao Wei as much as the Jin Dynasty in history. He will be respected by Cao Cao and Cao Pi. As for Cao Rui, as long as he is not like the Jin Dynasty in history. If the one who specially picked Master Sima to kill chickens and monkeys and made him waste more than ten years, for his little friend, Master Sima would be like helping him well.
