Days are everlasting

In the 21st year of Jian'an, Cao Pi, the eldest son of King Wei, was established as the eldest son, and the battle for the throne of the Cao family came to an end.

Shizi is the title of princes and heirs of kings.

In the early Han Dynasty, the successors of the kings were also called princes. For example, when Han Jingdi Liu Qi was still the crown prince, the unlucky son of the Wu king Liu Bi who was accidentally smashed to death with a chessboard was the Wu prince.

Later, in order to distinguish it from the crown prince, the heirs of the princes and kings later became the sons of the princes, and they have been followed down since then.

Cao Pi became the eldest son, Cao Zhi was naturally frustrated, but he was favored in the past, and he didn't know how to hide his emotions like Cao Pi. After it was revealed, it made him lower his evaluation in Cao Cao's heart.

It can be said that since Cao Pi was established as the eldest son, no matter what Cao Cao thought about this son in the past, whether he wanted to sharpen him or chose him after the brothers fought, he would not change it in the future.

Once the successor is selected, it is unacceptable to change or abolish the establishment. All political systems need "stability".

It is difficult to determine the heir, and it is even more difficult to change the heir.

After Cao Pi was established as the eldest son, more people cling to him than before, but he values ​​the group of team members who worked hard to help him in the past more, and knows that he should keep a low profile and not provoke his father's eyes in these places, so he closed the door and thanked the guests. He was very quiet, but made Cao Cao think highly of him again.

When Cao Pi was not established as the eldest son, I am afraid that Cao Cao valued Cao Zhi's talent more and didn't care much about the eldest son, but now he is slowly discovering the advantages of his eldest son one by one.

At the end of the 21st year of Jian'an, Cao Cao led his army to conquer Sun Quan. In the spring of the 22nd year, he went to Ruxukou again, defeated Sun Quan, and Sun Quan begged for surrender.

Prime Minister Cao agreed to Sun Quan's conditions, no matter what the old man thought, whether it was because he was afraid of Liu Bei, the current Master Sima still doesn't understand it very well.

At this time, shouldn't it be "it is advisable to chase the poor with the remaining bravery, and don't want to be famous and learn to be the overlord"?

Which one of the hegemons in the later generations didn't sweep the world in just a dozen or twenty years?

As far as Master Sima is concerned, King Wei is getting older now, and he has begun to value fame again, and has lost his vigor.

The chaos of the Three Kingdoms lasted for decades, during which the Three Kingdoms fought and destroyed countless lives!

No wonder at the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, when the population statistics were compared with those at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the number was almost none!

If the number of Han people who died during the Three Kingdoms period had decreased a little, the chaos in China would not have been so serious.

The Han nationality is an ethnic group that crushes other ethnic groups in terms of population base!

It seems doubtful whether Boss Cao's ambition is still there, but what is certain is that his young son Cao Pi is still very motivated.

In fact, as long as he proclaims himself emperor, he doesn't want anyone to be proclaimed with him, so after Cao Pi forced Emperor Xian to abdicate, Wu and Shu also established states one after another, and then they all regarded destroying each other as their lifelong career.

But speaking of chances, the probability of Cao Wei ruling the world is actually greater than that of Wu and Shu. Now it is not after the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Champa rice and other rice seeds have also been introduced, and the south has also been sufficiently developed. During the Three Kingdoms period, Compared with the north, the southern region is indeed a bit congenitally deficient. Except for the case of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, since ancient times, there has been no one who ruled the north with the south. This is the reason.

Just looking at the territory, we can also see the advantages of Cao Wei's forces.

Sun Quan begged to surrender, but Liu Bei was still a strong enemy. In addition, as a northern force, Cao Cao also shouldered the heavy responsibility of fighting against the barbarians, as if he was on fire.

Although Hanzhong is still in the hands of Cao Wei, Master Sima estimates that it will soon be impossible to keep it there.

Liu Bei will not let this confidant worry exist forever!

But it's okay for Master Sima to be soft-spoken. Even his father Sima Yi failed to persuade Cao Cao to take the opportunity to attack Shuzhong, where Liu Bei had just established himself, after persuading Cao Cao to win Hanzhong. It can be seen that the possibility of persuading Cao Cao is unlikely.

As for Cao Pi, you can give it a try.

Speaking of Cao Pi, if he can live longer and escape the curse of dying at forty in history, then Cao Wei will really be stable. Unfortunately, Cao Pi is gone after only seven years as emperor. His son didn't live long either. He was much shorter-lived than Sun Quan, let alone Liu Bei's Shu Han regime. There were only two generations of Liu Bei and Liu Chan passed down, and the stability was really stable.

When Sima Shi was taken by his teacher to visit a famous calligrapher, he happened to meet Cao Rui, and made an appointment with him to get together another day, but he was surprised when his father took him to the funeral.

They went to attend the funeral of Wang Can, the servant. Wang Can had a good relationship with Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, and he was very talented in literature.

Sima Shi was brought along by his father Sima Yi because he was Cai Yan's apprentice.

Wang Can is Sima Yi's colleague, but if it's not a close relationship, other people's family doesn't need to bring their children to the funeral.

It's just that Master Sima was Cai Yan's student, and Cai Yan was Cai Yong's daughter. Wang Can was very appreciated by Cai Yong when he was young. You must know that the books of this era can be passed on to future generations, similar to real estate property, Cai Yong can be said to have a great kindness to Wang Can besides his appreciation.

After Cai Zhaoji returned to the country, many people who had been helped by Cai Yong secretly helped her. Although it was mainly for icing on the cake, it was naturally good to maintain the previous relationship and add a network of contacts.Wang Can also helped her a lot.

Cai Yan first married to Hedong Wei Zhongdao, lost her husband and had no children, and later was taken captive by the Hu people. After returning to Dahan, she was passed on to Dong Si. Now, although she gave birth to another child, the child was too young to be born. Bringing it out casually—especially to a funeral, it is unlucky to bring young children—had to let Sima Shi, her student, attend instead. A good story about Master Sima expressing his appreciation.

But in this way, it means that the relationship between Sima Shi and Cai Yan’s family is closer than others imagined. If Cai Yan hadn’t given birth to a boy, only his first wife Xia Houzheng gave birth to a child in history. Well, Master Sima really thought he was going to become the teacher's son-in-law in the future!

Of course, since Cai Yan and her husband Dong Si will not appear in the history books in the future, it means that at least there will be no twists and turns in their future, otherwise, with Cai Yan's reputation, it must be recorded.

Wang Can died in the first month of the 22nd year of Jian'an. According to his age, Sima Shi was already ten years old. Therefore, Sima Yi took him to the front yard of the Wang family.

Sima Shi felt that his father must have wanted to let him show his face. At Wang Can's funeral, there were a lot of hardcore court officials. The one Sima Shi was most familiar with was Cao Pi, the son of Prince Wei.

Wang Can was one of the seven sons of Jian'an, and he also belonged to the class of celebrities and romantics. He was talented and well-known, and among his friends were some uninhibited people.

Cao Zhi and Wang Can's reputation in poetry and fu is often compared, but it is Cao Pi who shows a profound friendship.

Wang Can's two sons served the spirit, and they were very sad. Cao Pi and his colleagues all mourned, and suddenly said: "Zhongxuan liked to listen to donkeys braying, and wept before his spirit. He is afraid that he will miss the world. He won’t go. Let’s bray like a donkey and send him away.”

After Cao Pi finished speaking, he learned first, let alone, it was quite vivid.

A group of mourners looked at each other in dismay, and then a few normally unrestrained people yelled, and the others followed suit. For a while, the sound of crying was no longer heard.

Sima Shi was a child, and he had never heard a donkey bray before, so he could only bray along with the crowd. Although it was weird, he was not very conspicuous among the crowd.

On the contrary, he found a few people who even learned how to bray a donkey very gracefully. According to Master Sima's guess, their howling sounds must be very nice.

Changxiao is also a special product of ancient literati. Specifically, the Xiao in "Playing the Qin and Changxiao" refers to this. It is probably equivalent to silent clear howling. It is also skillful, but Master Sima thinks this thing and the sound are good Whether the lung capacity is high or not is also related.

Like modern people, in addition to face control, the ancients also had voice control, hand control, and foot control. Even if the face is not good, the voice is good.

One of them who learned how to meow very well was He Qia, who was the same servant as Wang Can.

I heard that Mr. Wang Can—yes, although Wang Can was just in his early forties when he died, if he died not in the first month of the 22nd year of Jian'an but last year, he would be exactly forty, but according to Master Sima and him The age difference, and the average life expectancy in this era, it seems that there is nothing wrong with calling someone who can call himself an old man a long time ago—because Prime Minister Cao respects He Qia and Du Xi more than him, he is quite unhappy, thanks to his good friends and friends. After negotiating a good word of persuasion, he let go of his mind.

According to Master Sima, Wang Can could be easily persuaded by He Qia, and Prime Minister Cao also valued him very much. Apart from his noble character and outstanding talents, there must be another reason, and that was his nice voice.

I don't know if it was because Master Sima was always staring at He Qia. He turned his head and nodded to Master Sima—it would be impolite to laugh at someone's funeral—after a while, By the time Cao Pi finished the funeral and left first, He Qia had already chatted with Sima Yi.

No matter how good Sima Yi is in the future, but when Cao Cao is in power now, Sima Yi, who is considered by Cao Cao to be a wolf, really does not have a high status in harmony.

He Qia and Sima Yi talked about what Master Sima didn't know, going to someone's funeral is not a good time to chat and make friends wantonly, you have to respect others, but Master Sima felt that Sima Yi still chatted with a few hangers-on for a while, He was also shown to meet several people.

If it is said that this funeral impressed Master Sima the most, only Cao Pi took the lead in learning how to bray.

That's amazing, my son.
