The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

Cao Cao received what Xun Yu left him.

There were two pieces of white silk with dense handwriting in the kit, but none of the words had anything to do with Xun Yu himself.

One is a letter Guo Jia left to Cao Cao, which solemnly called Cao Cao "Wei Gong" on the front. Cao Cao thought I was Sikong at that time.Looking at the content, Cao Cao is no stranger to the idea of ​​making the Yuan brothers kill each other. After Guo Jia's death, Xun Yu suggested so.In contrast, the negative content seems to be more important.

When he saw "Jiangdong can't be attacked", Cao Cao remembered the fire at Chibi, which made the whole sky red, and mocked him. The southeast wind not only rolled up the waves of the river, but also blew hot smoke on his face. Although it was mid-winter, the heat wave in Chibi hit people that day.

Cao Cao seemed to see a figure in the flames. He stretched out his hand, but was forcibly dragged away by his loyal subordinates.

His inaudible sigh was lost in the fireworks all over the sky: Guo Fengxiao is here, so I won't let him come here alone.

Guo Jia once said: When you recall frequently, you will be old.

Cao Cao felt that he was indeed old.

But old people can do a lot of things, and Guo Jia wrote half a sentence after that, "Sima is not available".

Cao Cao put down the piece of white silk and looked at the other piece.This piece is Xun Yu's own handwriting, and he has written a lot of content in an eloquent manner, with a good literary talent.No less than Chen Lin and others.

Cao Cao thought about these things for a long time.

This time the attack on Jiangdong was fruitless. Cao Cao admitted that he was no longer the aggressive and aggressive figure a few years ago. The noble Sun Quan lamented that "having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou"; Sun Quan would also write a letter to Cao Cao experiencedly, saying that "spring water is born, and the public should retreat quickly", urging Cao Cao to retreat, and then, like Guo Fengxiao, tell the truth And the important words are left behind the text of the letter: "If you don't die with one step, you can't be alone."

Cao Cao laughed and retreated: Sun Zhongmou never deceived me.

That's right, they are all foxes who have been around for thousands of years, so there is no need to play Liaozhai—it's not impossible to play, but it's all for outsiders to see, and they are both foxes, so forget it.

Sun Quan had business to do, and so did Cao Cao.

He didn't tell anyone what Xun Yu left behind.

After returning to Xudu, Cao Cao immediately summoned his officials to discuss the matter of giving the deceased minister a posthumous title.

No matter whether it was Hua Xin or Yang Xiu, everyone took it for granted that it was Xun Yu's posthumous title.Originally, when an important minister of the country passed away, the last posthumous posthumous title was a normal procedure.Many people flipped through the book, and already drew up a few beautiful and profound words suitable for Xun Yu in their hearts.

"Today, let's discuss the issue of posthumous names, that is..."

Everyone is thinking whether it is Wenzheng or Wenqin, at worst, it must be Wensi, right?The man who has made great contributions to the master's hegemony, although he has a bad relationship with the master in the end, the master will definitely think about the past, and at most use "thinking" to implicitly express "you have to reflect on it".

"...Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao."

collectively dumbfounded.

Guo Jia has been dead for several years, and has always been just a Sikong division offering wine. To put it bluntly, Cao Cao's private ministers can barely squeeze into the civil service team, and their official positions are very low. When they died, they didn't have a posthumous title. Everyone thinks It's quite normal, why are you suddenly going to give him a posthumous title now?

Cao Cao looked at the stunned state of these people under his command, cleared his throat, and said, "Bong Xiao's posthumous title, you can come up with one."

Everyone recovered slightly, Cui Yan frowned, he was not satisfied, but he didn't say anything.Chen Lin asked cautiously: "Prime Minister...Guo Jijiu's posthumous title, when will I plan to give it to the Prime Minister?"

Cao Cao picked up the lacquer sent by someone, took a sip of water - there was angelica in the water according to someone's habit - and said casually: "Let's draw it now, I'll just wait."

The collective was dumbfounded for the second time.

It's not worth calling so many people to discuss such a big matter, and the prime minister is still sitting in the town to wait for the result. Everyone feels the pressure-the prime minister personally supervises the work, and there is no chance to fool the past.

Cui Yan couldn't stand it anymore, he got up and said: "Prime Minister, it is not appropriate for Guo Jijiu to have a posthumous posthumous title."

Cao Cao looked up at Cui Yan from the heat of the angelica water, but said nothing.

There was a look of approval on someone's face.

"Guo Jijiu was granted the title of Marquis of Weiyang Ting in addition to serving as Sikong Division Jijiu during his lifetime. The latter should have a posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous titles. Besides, he fought with the prime minister and worked hard. It is also worthy of posthumous posthumous title." Cheng Yu suddenly retorted.

Some people who have been with Cao Cao for a long time know that Cheng Yu has always had a bad relationship with Guo Jia, so they are surprised to hear Cheng Yu say this.

Cheng Yu himself is quite calm. For him, right is right, right is wrong, just judge impartially, and it has nothing to do with his own likes and dislikes.

Cao Cao was not surprised. Guo Jia told him that Cheng Zhongde was so sincere that he even hated others.

Now that the veteran figure has spoken, let's start drafting posthumous titles.All of you here just feel worthless for the painstaking effort you put into finding Xun Yu's posthumous title.Now I have to think again.

Fortunately, the difficulty is not too great. Guo Jia is not a very important official, and it is enough to be named a marquis.The resume is also quite simple, so just make a plain and correct one.

Words such as "min" and "shun" were sent to Cao Cao one after another. Cao Cao was not satisfied with the left and right, so he crossed them all out with a pen.

After discussing for two hours, it has not yet been decided, and at least nearly twenty words were rejected by Cao Cao. Everyone was a little tired, and they sneaked a glance at Cao Cao, who was in charge, but he had no intention of leaving.

Then Cao Cao's attitude is very clear: he has to draw up a posthumous title that satisfies him, otherwise no one will even think about going home.

Everyone complained in their hearts: What exactly does the prime minister want to do? We don't even know how to get a posthumous title.Although the meaning of looking at the prime minister is to think as noble and extraordinary as possible, but the posthumous title must be right with the person, Guo Jia's status was there before he was alive, and at most he was a prince after death, so we dare to give him anything He has to dare to use words like "Xian" and "Sage" himself!Reporting to the emperor will not pass, okay?

Everyone who couldn't bear it looked at Cao Pi who was sitting next to Cao Cao with eyes for help: General Wuguan Zhonglang, hurry up and think of a way!

Cao Pi fully understands everyone's feelings, but he also finds it difficult: he can't just tell this group of people directly, "Guo Jijiu has a high status in my father's heart, so high that I almost have a younger brother who was born to her"!In the end, Cao Pi had no choice but to beg Jia Xu with his eyes to stop watching the fun with nothing to do with him, and to find a way quickly.

Jia Xu sighed, sure enough, after Xun Yu left, this kind of thing fell on her own head.He slowly unfolded a small piece of silk in front of him, picked up the pen, and wrote down the word he had thought about a long time ago.

The posthumous title proposed by Jia Xu was sent to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao only glanced at that word, and everyone saw the obvious satisfied expression on his face.

That word is "zhen".

When Cao Cao announced the result, most people gasped.

Because this word has never been used alone as a posthumous title.

Many people thought that Guo Jia’s life was really unusual. When he was alive, he was the unique Sikong division sacrificial wine-this is a position specially set up by Cao Cao for Guo Jia. After death, he will be the unique Zhenhou— —Before Guo Jia, there was no Marquis Zhen.

Everyone thinks that the word "zhen" is used alone to describe a man is a very weird thing.

Cao Pi and his son Cao Rui must have thought the same way, so when these two were in power, they didn't know whether they were hiding something or evading something, and they gave the deceased minister the posthumous title of "Zhenhou" like crazy, whatever A cat and a dog, as long as there is no betrayal, they are all "Zhenhou".For example, Sun Zi (who are you?), Huan Jie (sounds familiar but who are you?), Guo Huai... ah, finally there is a name to describe the past, but this active By now Sima Yan can at least make soy sauce, okay?

But if Cao Pi and his son think that this can lead the world to think that Guo Jia only got this posthumous title because he never betrayed Cao Cao, and there is no other deep-seated connotation at all, then they will follow suit.Who is Cao Cao? This is Cao Cao's posture of going all out.

When Cao Cao took out the seal written by Xun Yu himself for Guo Jia, the people below were all wondering how many times will today's Three Views be broken?

Cao Cao asked Chen Lin to read it, and Chen Lin read it "Guo Jia, the old soldier's sacrificial wine, is loyal and gentle, and has a good understanding..."

"Shu" is a beautiful word that is often used to describe women, and has always been, and is rarely used to describe men.

Prime Minister Cao looked calm in everyone's surprised and inexplicable eyes, so everyone had to force themselves to believe that the word "Shu" can also describe a man...

Therefore, Prime Minister Cao really made a very bad start, because Zhuge Liang also learned this trick a few years later. When she presented the table to the empress, she said this to Xiang Chong: "General Xiang Chong, who is gentle in sex. , Xiao Chang military. Try it in the past, the first emperor said it can..."

Do you think this is the limit?

Chen Lin is still reading: "I have been in the army for more than ten years, riding together and sitting on the same seat..."

Cao Pi really wanted to hide his face, but his literary impulse made him want to add two sentences later to clarify his words: "Eating is in the same room, sleeping is in the same bed, and the son returns home, and it is suitable for his family."

In the eyes of others, Guo Jia was extremely mournful after his death.Although it was strange that Prime Minister Cao didn't think of it until a few years later.There is also Xun Yu, who should enjoy the mourning and glory behind him, but is inexplicably forgotten.In fact, in the eyes of the parties, all of this went smoothly, but the parties have no obligation to explain to others.

During the few days of mourning after Guo Jia's death, Cao Cao remained silent, and no one knew that he still had an important matter waiting to be done.

When the work was over, Cao Cao appointed Hua Xin to take over Xun Yu's position as Shang Shuling, but he remained calm.

Until one day, Cao Cao called his sons to write articles again.

Like last time, Tongque Terrace was used as the topic, but this time open-book exams were allowed, and the sons could submit an essay after the on-site inspection.Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi and said, "Zi Huan, you should take your younger brothers with you. To be fair, no one is allowed to bring his own husband. All the literary officials in the Prime Minister's Mansion are counting on the rafters and so on, waiting for news at the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Cao Pi took his younger brothers away for less than a cup of tea. Cao Cao asked the people around him, "Where is Sima Yi?"

Conversely, wait for the news of Mr. Pi in the mansion.

Cao Cao turned his face instantly: hold on to it!

No one knows why, and there is no need to know why. Although Cao Cao suspended calling him "Duke Wei" after Xun Yu's death, he has been treated according to the Duke's standard.It was very easy for a soldier who had been upgraded from a private soldier to a warrior in uniform to be ordered to capture Sima Yi.

Sima Yi didn't know what mistake she had made until she was tied tightly and pushed close to Cao Cao. In fact, she didn't make any mistake.

So Cao Cao didn't intend to explain the crime to her, and didn't even bother to look at her: "Push it out, cut it off!"

Sima Yi was dumbfounded in an instant, and was told that he was sentenced to death all of a sudden, and no one could accept this matter.Although I always lived in fear of being killed before, but after decades of being out of danger, I have long since relaxed. Who knew it would happen suddenly!So Sima Yi was terrified and tried to defend himself: "Prime Minister! Yi is not guilty! Yi is not guilty!"

Cao Cao didn't raise his head.

"Prime Minister! Prime Minister!" Sima Yi shouted hoarsely, and the warrior dragged her out after setting her up. She was trying to delay the time as much as possible.This is not the first time she has been threatened with death, the previous few times she escaped no matter what, but this time there was no warning, and she couldn't be reconciled to losing her life in a daze. "Prime Minister! Yi doesn't know what crime he committed!"

Cao Cao didn't say anything, except shaking the white silk in his hand, Sima Yi saw the words "Sima is not available", and suddenly understood everything, Guo Jia's handwriting was easy to recognize.

Then this time it's really over. From any perspective, Cao Cao must be determined to kill her. No matter who it is, he can no longer protect her.

Sima Yi looked at the cold white blade of the gleaming spear in the warrior's hand, and couldn't help imagining how it would have slashed or stabbed her. In desperation, she thought of the community temple in the suburbs of Luoyang, and the grain stacks in the community temple. The little Sima Yi in the pile, the real Sima Yi, has a pair of clear and pure eyes, which reveal a very sad emotion at the end.

This is retribution, Sima Yi thought, she closed her eyes, is this my retribution, it finally came.

When Sima Yi was pushed out of the room, Hua Xin happened to come to report to Cao Cao about Emperor Han.Seeing Sima Yi in distress, he was taken aback: "Why is this so?!"

"Shang Shuling save me!"

The samurai saluted Hua Xin, and when Hua Xin asked them why, the samurai said they did not know.The prime minister only wanted them to kill, but he didn't say the reason for the killing.

"Does Mr. Pi know?"

"I don't know."

"Since that's the case, keep people under the sword! It won't be too late to tell the Prime Minister!" Hua Xin said, going to see Cao Cao.

"Master Pi doesn't know about this yet!" Sima Yi hastily reminded again later that Hua Xin is not Guo Jia, and has no ability to influence Cao Cao's mind.

This sentence reminded Hua Xin, he turned to the servant behind him and said, "Go to Tongque Terrace and invite Mr. Pi!"

"Please Shang Shuling to inform my family again!"

The distant water can't quench the near thirst, and Cao Pi can't come back for a while, so Sima Yi can only find the person closest to her as much as possible, and among these people, there is only one person she can trust.No matter whether you can save yourself or not, you always have to work hard.

Hua Xin nodded and told the other person to go to Sima Mansion to inform Zhang Chunhua immediately.

At this time, Cao Cao's furious voice suddenly came from the room: "Beheading is so wordy! Return Sima Yi's head quickly!"

The author has something to say:

Although Sima's situation is very dangerous, the topic has already been spoiled, so I won't say more.

Queen Guo is about to go online, and the struggle between Cao Cao's heirs is about to take place.

And Cui Yan, your dissatisfied look will make you unlucky... No, it's not just your personal problem, it's your daughter who bears the brunt.

Regarding Guo Jijiu's posthumous title... The author did not find anyone named "Zhenhou" before him. Of course, the posthumous title "Wenzhen" for high-ranking ministers is a little more common... This is actually a little bit It's not surprising, you can see how "Zhen" is explained in posthumous titles: Zhen: chastity is called chastity if you are innocent and chaste; Huai is chastity; loyalty is not disturbed, chastity is called chastity; chasteness is called chastity; seclusion is dedicated to chastity; constant virtue is chastity from one; chasteness is called chastity when you do not guess...

Really... speechless.There are also the few "Zhenhou" after Guo Jia, who are also quite speechless... quite suspicious of trying to cover up.

The word shu is actually not a big deal when it is used for men. The author deliberately uses the common understanding of modern people to explain ancient people.According to the "Book of Wei", the letter to Guo Jia was written by Boss Cao himself, and it has not been delayed for so many years... Here Xun Yu wrote it for Boss Cao, reminding Boss Cao that he is sorry for Guo Jia, implying that he did it for Guo Jia. Guo Jia's posthumous posthumous title.

Xun Yu also has a posthumous title, but the author feels that Boss Cao doesn’t care too much about Xun Yu (or it may be revenge for Xun Yu’s not supporting him as the Duke of Wei). He has the same posthumous title as his nephew Xun You, and both end at X Hou", that is to say, although Xun Yu worked very hard, the rating after his death was the same as that of Guo Jia, who had only been with Cao Cao for 11 years.

Speaking of posthumous titles, this thing is not the same concept as "title", so in "Zhen Huan Biography", Zhen Huan used posthumous titles to explain the plot of An Lingrong's title, just look at it, it's too much nonsense.

The posthumous titles of Wenzheng, Wensi, etc. mentioned in the article are also very interesting posthumous titles. They are not just nonsense, they are picked out by the author from the dazzling collection of posthumous titles...@[email protected]Si often has a kind of introspection Meaning, by the way, Cao Zhi is also known as "Chen Si Wang", this "Si" is also his posthumous title, which means "repenting of past mistakes".

The next section will be Cao Pi and Zhang Chunhua's passionate performances, and Sima Yi's counterattack and revenge on the old Cao family... Dear, I said that if you teach your son well, it will be revenge, don't be so narrow-minded?
