The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

Sima Yi has been quite free recently.

It is also rare for her. In her new home in Luoyang, she fights with Zhang Chunhua every day, guides Sima Shi and Sima Zhao in reading and learning martial arts, and teaches Sima Qinghe to write. She lives happily.So it's not a bad thing to say that the "Youlong" dance incident and Cao Pi broke up, and the two are basically in a state of mutual disgust.

After Cao Pi abolished Emperor Han, he granted all officials.Sima Yi was promoted to Minister.Of course, it didn't take long before he was turned into a military governor, Yushi Zhongcheng, and named Anguo Township Marquis.

The meaning of the Overseer is very clear: get out, get out!You don't want to see me?I don't want to see you yet!If the army is mobilized, go and see it, don't dawdle in front of my eyes!

Of course, this subtext was later beautified by Cao Pi as: In the past, I and Zhongda had a very good relationship.When I go to the east, I will leave the affairs of the west to Zhongda; when I go to the west, I will leave the affairs of the east to Zhongda.

Taboo for the venerable, taboo for the venerable.

Sima Yi didn't remember very clearly about the day of the abdication, but the sudden gust of wind when Cao Pi was thanking God was very eye-catching.Sima Yi remembered that Liu Xie was abolished as Duke of Shanyang, and his wife, Empress Cao Jie, was named Princess, Mrs. Duke of Shanyang.

The woman was happy about her princess status at first, but then when she realized that she was no longer the queen of the world and had to bow to other women in Cao Pi's harem, she screamed and refused to leave The imperial palace was forcibly dragged away by Hua Xin and others.

Guo Xu sneered and passed by Cao Jie, telling her that the route she took was similar to the one that Fu Hou had traveled back then.

"So, if I knew today, why bother?" Zhang Chunhua placed a white piece on the chessboard, and she felt that Cao Jie's actions were stupid from the very beginning.

"Didn't the first emperor still have two daughters and Lord Shanyang? I don't know what happened to those two." Sima Yi slapped a sunspot on the corner.

"If you don't care about it, this 'living eye' will become a 'dead eye', don't say I didn't warn you." Zhang Chunhua made a move while talking. "Haven't you heard about the two princesses? It seems that you have handed over a seal to His Majesty, requesting to leave with Lord Sanyang. I heard that His Majesty intends to agree."

"Since the matter of the two princesses has been agreed, why not the matter of Mrs. Shanyang?"

Zhang Chunhua smiled: "That's different. I heard that Madam Shanyang went to cry in front of His Majesty, and His Majesty reprimanded her, saying that since she is a Madam, in this life, she can be a wife with peace of mind."

Sima Yi paused in mid-air with the hand holding the chess piece: "You are the one on the left who heard it, and the one on the right heard it, and whoever told it, why don't I know."

"Guo Guifei."

Sima Yi's hand trembled slightly, the chess piece almost fell into the wrong place.

After becoming an emperor, the issue of the status of the harem must be resolved, and Cao Pi is no exception.

Since Cao Pi abolished the Han Dynasty, of course the harem system will not completely follow the Han Dynasty.His standard is this: In addition to the temporary vacancy of the queen, there are wife, noble concubine, Shuyuan, Zhaoyi, Xiurong, Jieyu, Ronghua, beauty and beloved.

Among them, the status of the wife is roughly equal to that of the noble concubine.

Zhen's family was named wife. It is not ruled out that Cao Pi did not want to give her status at all, but considering that she is Cao Rui's mother in name and is a concubine approved by Cao Cao, so she has to be given, and it can't be too low, so she just casually Trick a "madame" out, saying that the status of "madame" is second only to the queen.

Queen Guo Xu Guo was named a noble concubine, and Cao Pi also said that the status of a noble concubine is the same as that of his wife.

Shanyang Gong Liu Xie also gave Cao Pi two daughters for his own safety. Cao Pi accepted it, but he didn't know what concubine he gave.

Then... It seems that there are no other famous women.

"So, Guo Guipin is in charge of the harem now."

"It should be like this, Mrs. Zhen won't interfere."

Chess was in full swing when suddenly there was a commotion outside.

Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua opened the door to see what happened, while Sima Shi and Sima Zhao had already walked into the yard.

An aristocratic young man in his teens, wearing a golden crown and a light yellow satin cloak, holding a balled whip in his hand, was angrily pushing away the servants surrounding him, and walked up to him.

"Ruier..."

Zhang Chunhua hurried back into the house.

Master Sima came up to stop Cao Rui, and Sima Zhao followed his eldest brother, knelt down in front of Cao Rui and saluted: "Xiaomin has seen His Royal Highness."

"Hmph!" Cao Rui looked at Sima Yi who was on the steps.

Sima Yi walked down slowly, slowly came to Cao Rui, and slowly knelt down to salute: "I..."

"Okay, get up!" Cao Rui couldn't wait, he hurried to come here on horseback, and couldn't waste all his time on it.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness." Sima Yi took it back before finishing the salute, and his speed was called agile.

"His Royal Highness has come to the shelter in person, what advice do you have?" Master Sima said with a respectful attitude.

"I didn't come to look for you, I came to look for your father!" Cao Rui said, stretched out his hand and pushed Master Sima away, and walked up to Sima Yi in two steps, "Sima Yi! How many days have you not been in court?"

Sima Yi looked at Cao Rui, and the child looked more and more like Cao Pi: "The minister is the governor, and as a rule, if there is a governor, he can be exempted from going to court."

"So, you haven't seen this?" Cao Rui took out a white silk from his sleeve.

"What is this? Please tell your highness the prince."

"Look for yourself!" Cao Rui threw the white silk on Sima Yi's face.

Sima Zhao's face changed slightly, Master Sima grabbed his younger brother's wrist and shook his head at him.

Sima Yi held the white silk in his hand, slowly shook it open, read it once, and then closed it again.

"This is the imperial edict issued by His Majesty, "Edict of Physicians", I have read it now, do you have any orders from Your Majesty?"

"Don't you think there's something wrong?" Sima Yi's attitude of seeming to be a normal person was particularly hateful in Cao Rui's eyes, and all the ministers were arguing over these things!However, no one could persuade Cao Pi. In the end, Jia Xu said to go to Sima Yi. Guo Guipin said that Mrs. Zhen had to ask His Highness to come. Why do these people think so highly of a warlord!As a prince, I still condescend to beg him!Well, for the sake of my mother and concubine Mrs. Zhen, I had no choice but to come here reluctantly. Sure enough, Sima Yi is putting on airs here, which is extremely hateful!

"Your Majesty just praises grapes as a fruit and recommends that everyone drink wine..."

"Just?! Isn't that enough? This is an imperial edict! So many major events in Western Shu and Eastern Wu are written here! As soon as it was announced a few days ago, the officials quarreled!"

"In the past dynasties, there has never been a regulation on what should be written in your majesty's edict. As long as your majesty thinks that you should inform the subjects of the world, you can write an edict. Although this edict is different from the past, there is nothing wrong with it."

"It's not wrong, is it? Okay, okay, you wait—" Cao Rui was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly, he went to fumble in his sleeve again, and this time he found a pile of silk cloth, and threw it all at Sima Yi, "You yourself Look! These are all written by my father! They will be sent out tomorrow!"

Sima Yi unfolded this pile, those who praised sugarcane, those who taught people how to grow sugarcane, those who praised rosemary, those who taught people how to grow rosemary...

"Is it enough? If you think it's not enough, it is said that Father is writing about how to plant willow trees!"

"puff!"

Cao Rui turned his head and glared at Sima Zhao who couldn't help laughing.

"Zhaoer!" Sima Yi shouted to stop his second son's slightly disrespectful behavior, Sima Zhao suppressed his smile back.Sima Shi glanced at his younger brother: "Brother Zhao, if you want to laugh, turn around and laugh secretly, don't make a sound."

"Brother, don't call me that anymore, it sounds like calling the girl next door..."

Sima Yi folded all the copies of the imperial edict and returned them to Cao Rui with both hands: "I can't do anything about this matter."

"But they asked me to come to you! They said that only you can persuade Father to change his mind and stop writing these things!"

"This statement is wrong, how can His Highness believe it!"

"I didn't believe it at first!" Cao Rui looked at Sima Yi bitterly, "But Guo Guifei brought the harem concubines to ask to see my mother, and told me to come to you, there must be a way. If I hadn't been for my mother, I won't come to you!"

Sima Yi fell silent.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!" Suddenly someone ran in from outside, and this person was dressed as a servant.

"Eunuch Jiang!" Cao Rui went up to meet him, "What's the matter? What's the matter, Father?"

Eunuch Jiang was out of breath: "Go back to the palace quickly, Your Majesty...he suddenly wants to kill General Hussars!"

General Hussars is Cao Hong, who is still Cao Cao's cousin, and Cao Pi's elder in terms of seniority.In the past, he gave his life to save Cao Cao, and left a famous saying: "There is no flood in the world, and there must be no justice!" Therefore, when Cao Cao was alive, he was highly valued.

Cao Rui grabbed Eunuch Jiang: "Why? What about the charges? What did the emperor say?"

"No... not charged..." Eunuch Jiang was on the verge of crying.

"Hundred pieces of silk." Sima Yi said suddenly from the side.

Cao Rui looked at Sima Yi with hateful eyes: "Father is already like this, why are you still pretending to be noble here! Are you going to watch our Cao family be destroyed!"

"What's so noble about my minister!" Sima Yi's voice suddenly rose an octave, which startled Cao Rui.

"The song "You Long" on the Tongque Terrace, the Sima family has been destroyed by the minister..."

Sima Shi secretly clenched his fists.

Cao Rui didn't understand it very well. To him, it was just Cao Pi teasing a subject for fun. It is only natural for a subject to obey orders. Of course, people talked and laughed at Sima Yi afterwards. Comparing her with those dancers, Cao Rui listened. I feel quite relieved, but this matter will be over in a short time, why is Sima Yi reacting so violently?

"Your Highness, please go back. I will enter the palace right now. Your Majesty, please take back your order. Master! Get ready and enter the palace with your father!"

Sima Zhao was the most unhappy about this: "No way! Dad, you won't take me this time!"

Sima Yi knelt outside the hall for half an hour.

Cao Pi finally put down his pen inside.

"I thought Zhongda wouldn't come."

"If I don't come, the whole world will think that I killed General Hussar."

"Does Zhongda still remember why I had a grudge with this uncle?"

"In the past, His Majesty was in distress and borrowed a hundred pieces of silk from General Zilian, but General Zilian refused."

"Well, but that's not the point. The point is that at the beginning, this uncle made a big bet with my brothers, and I left my master in anger the next day. Three days later, Guo Jijiu died I recommended Zhongda to come here." Cao Pi walked outside the hall and looked at Sima Yi, "Actually, I didn't want to kill him this time, I just wanted to see what you want Zhongda to do."

"If the minister still doesn't come."

"Then kill him." Cao Pi said very easily.

"So, if His Majesty spared him this time, it will be hard to forgive him next time."

"Next time, let's talk about it next time. If there are clear charges, I really don't intend to let him go."

Sima Yi sighed: "Your Majesty, you are taking revenge."

"Yes." Cao Pi admitted happily.

"Who are you taking revenge on, and do you have a clear target for revenge?"

"Many. People who looked down on me in the past, people who wanted to harm me in the past, including my father, my mother, my brothers, and my friends!"

Cao Pi's voice echoed in the empty corridor, buzzing.

"And your past self."

"Zhongda, you really understand me." Cao Pi sat opposite Sima Yi.

It is said that if you suppress it for too long, once you stop suppressing it, people will go a little crazy.Sima Yi suddenly thought of the phrase "there is still salvation" that Cao Cao said.She understood a little now what that meant.

"Zhongda, the queen is late today." Cao Pi took Sima Yi's hand, "Guess what she told me?"

"The Empress Dowager will not interfere with government affairs, it should be a matter of the harem."

"En—clever. The queen mother said that I should be the queen."

"Then set one up."

"Who should we stand for? Mrs. Zhen has a son, Mrs. Guo is very obedient and useful, others are not qualified."

"Your Majesty will stand up for whoever is pleasing to his eyes."

"It's not pleasing to the eye. Besides, what will future generations call them? Empress Wei Zhen? Empress Wei Guo? None of them sound good. I think Empress Wei Sima sounds much better."

The more Sima Yi listened, the more shameful he became: "Your Majesty, I really don't want to remind you, but...I didn't come alone. I brought my eldest son, Sima Shi. I told him that if I haven't left after an hour, I will let you go." He went directly to the Empress Dowager to express his feelings—anyway, the adornment on his body was bestowed by the emperor himself, and no one dared to stop him."

Cao Pi's interest was ruined. He stood up and walked back to the inner hall: "Okay, Zhongda, go back."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"However," Cao Pi turned and looked at Sima Yi who was prostrating outside the hall, "I want to tell you that I didn't mess around. I know what I did and the reactions of the officials. I wrote about grapes and sugar cane. It is because I want to write, and I want to kill Cao Hong, because I want to kill him, and now I want to become a queen, and it is also because I want to stand! It has nothing to do with your persuasion! However, there are too few people in my harem to be enough Find a woman who is the mother of the world, so before becoming a concubine, I want to-enrich the harem."

Cao Pi gave an order, and the cars to send the beauties began to enter Luoyang continuously.

But Cao Pi's requirements are very high, not all women can enter the palace.

This one is too short and that one is too thin, hey, you, you, what about you, you don’t have a slightly hooked nose, bad review, return!

That day Cao Zhen begged to see Cao Pi and brought a portrait with him. The two of them muttered something in the inner hall. The next morning, Cao Pi announced that he knew that there was a beautiful woman whose beauty was earth-shattering. Get ready for a meet of the highest order.

This shit is out of the loop.

Cao Pi rejected all the ministers' admonitions.

When everyone saw it, it couldn't work, and they had to give Sima Yi a strong medicine.

Sima Yi said you should find Wu Zhi, he and His Majesty are also on good terms.

Everyone said: But... it was Wu Zhi who asked us to come to you.

Sima Yi didn't want to agree, but all the officials had the courage to live in Sima's mansion for a year or so.

Sima Yi had no choice but to go to see Cao Pi again, but this time she learned to be smart, and negotiated terms with Cao Pi: Your Majesty, just tell me what you want to do, as long as it is not about the harem, the minister can find a way.

Zhongda, let's have a daughter.

...can I change it?

Rui'er lacks a mother...

stop!Let's talk about the first one.

Finally, a compromise agreement was reached between the two parties: the previous separation due to the ancestor of the emperor would be void, and Cao Pi could call Sima Yi into the palace at night; but in exchange, Cao Pi must ensure that the concubines in the harem give birth to at least two children every year.

This is not difficult for Cao Pi. He directly told the imperial physician order: Go, list all the monthly letters of all the women in the harem, and arrange them in a table.

But this has a side effect, that is, Cao Pi's children like to be born in groups, and after they are born, they often die in groups due to neglect...

Who said that being the son of Cao Cao is hard...it is obviously hard to be the son of Cao Pi...

As for that beauty worth welcoming...

"We still have to greet him. This person was discovered by accident by Zidan, and he said that he is extraordinary."

"I heard from General Zidan that when this girl left home, she carried a jade spit pot with her to hold her tears, and the tears condensed like blood?"

"Well, Zidan also said that she is good at women's red, even if the lamp is not turned on in the dark, she can fly needles freely - this, when you see it, you can let her try it."

Cao Pi sent ten beautifully carved carts to meet the legendary beauty. For the first time, he took many officials to wait outside the city, including Sima Yi.

The convoy in the distance gradually approached, and when it came close, a servant went up to help a woman wearing a cone hat get off the car.

Sima Yi sized him up, but he couldn't see anything special about him. He was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was wearing a blue lotus-colored dark red woven deep dress. She was a beautiful woman... I couldn't see clearly with the cone hat on. .

The visitor was led to Cao Pi's body, and the veil on the cone hat was lifted left and right, and the girl bowed profusely: "The servant girl pays homage to Your Majesty."

Cao Pi whispered in Sima Yi's ear, "Zhong Da, go and watch."

Sima Yi walked forward without knowing why.

Cao Pi said from behind: "Look up, what's your name, where are you from?"

As soon as the woman raised her head, Sima Yi was frightened and took two steps back.

"Zhao Xiaoyun!"

"My servant Xue Lingyun, her ancestral home is Changshan Zhending."

The author has something to say:

Xue Lingyun's source of inspiration for this section is plagiarized from Pi Yun's "Cloud Conglong" and "Water to Clear".

But Xue Lingyun's appearance was not an accident. For details, please pay attention to the last episode "Golden House".But the author himself doesn't know when to write this episode...the next episode will definitely not be written, and the next episode should be "The End Is the Beginning".
