The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

After the tragic death of Cao Zhi's wife, Cui Shi, Cao Zhi's life has changed a lot, at least he thinks it has changed a lot compared to before.

He was grounded by Cao Cao for a few days, just shutting the door and thinking about his mistakes. Of course, the door must be closed.His friends such as Ding Yi were temporarily unable to visit him, and his master Sima Fu was also ordered by Cao Cao to go home for an indefinite vacation.

Sima Fu felt quite sad.

When he got home, he felt ashamed to meet people, so he went to see Sima Fang, but Sima Fang couldn't see him.He went to see Sima Lang again and was told that Sima Lang was not there.

Sima Fu didn't resent his father. Sima Fang had always been strict with his brothers. He had been like this since he was a child. He didn't dare to look at things he couldn't see, he didn't dare to listen to voices he couldn't listen to, he kept standing if he couldn't sit down, and he didn't dare to speak if he wasn't allowed to speak. She kept her mouth shut all the time, and dared not go anywhere without permission.The world calls the Hanoi Sima family well-educated.

The Zhuge family in Langya passed by and said that I would just make soy sauce.

At that time, children were almost the private property of their parents, and it was a sin not to be born in front of the house like Zhilan Yushu, so it was okay for Sima Fang to treat Sima Fu coldly and violently. Sima Fu could only blame himself for not living up to his father.

Sima Fang has this attitude, but the attitude of the eldest son Sima Lang is very subtle. Brotherly love is necessary, but it is necessary to follow the leader's footsteps, so he can only tell an obvious lie, and Sima Fu will understand it anyway. .

Sima Fu walked on the corridor quite sadly, thinking about the fact that he was driven home over and over in his heart, but it was useless to think about it, he was right, and he couldn't change anything.

"Shu Da."

Sima Fu was so surprised that he almost took a few steps back, he didn't expect that there would be someone waiting for him here.

"Don't take it to heart, this matter has nothing to do with you, and you won't be implicated in the future." Sima Yi leaned on the pillars of the corridor, folded his arms and said leisurely.

"Second brother." Sima Fu saluted with dodge eyes and wanted to slip over.

"Stop." Sima Yi said in a low voice.

But Sima Fu froze at that moment.

Sima Yi came over and patted his younger brother on the shoulder: "Have you gone to see father and elder brother?"

"..."

"Haven't you seen it?"

"..."

"Are you feeling bad?"

Sima Yi's sharpness made Sima Fu almost overwhelmed: "Second Brother..."

"Have you thought about not living this kind of life of looking at their faces?" Sima Yi looked at Sima Fu's expression and thought it was amused, "Hehe, I won't have to live this kind of life soon."

Sima Yi walked past Sima Fu with a smile, her body swaying slightly, this not rigorous movement showed that she was really in a good mood.

Sima Fu wiped off a cold sweat: Sima Yi finally left, he was a little afraid from the first day he saw Sima Yi's face, never dared to follow Sima Lang to taunt Sima Yi.If Sima Yi cast a cold look over him, he would feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and if Sima Yi smiled at him occasionally, he would think it was an illusion.After Sima Yi got close to Cao Pi's backstage, Sima Fu said to himself: This "second brother", if you can't deal with him, don't deal with him.

"Uncle Third?"

Just after Sima Yi's fright was over, this sound frightened Sima Fu again.He turned his head to look, and it turned out to be Zhang Chunhua, all dressed up, with two maidservants, smiling and looking at him from where Sima Yi was standing just now.

"Second sister-in-law." Sima Fu bowed to Zhang Chunhua politely. This woman who was younger than him was labeled "not to be provoked" in Sima Fu's heart just like Sima Yi.

"It's been a long time since the third uncle is at home. It must be because there are too many things in Wei Gong's house, which made him stumbled. It can be seen that Mr. Zhi attaches great importance to the third uncle."

"Second sister-in-law won the prize and dare not be her."

"Excuse me? Let's put it this way—the third uncle actually doesn't have much to do in Duke Wei's mansion? Then why didn't he come home? Could it be that there is something beautiful in the mansion that he pays attention to? Then I have to tell my sister-in-law." Zhang Chunhua's eyes sparkled, tenderly asked pretty.

Sima Fu felt that the cold sweat he had wiped off was about to ooze again: "Second sister-in-law made fun of her. Fu resigns."

"Third Uncle is in such a hurry to leave? That's right. Third Uncle has not seen him for a long time. He misses his sister-in-law very much. It is human nature, how can I stop him?" Zhang Chunhua stepped aside and said with a smile: "Third Uncle, please."

Sima Fu walked past Zhang Chunhua anxiously, but Zhang Chunhua suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist: "Sir, uncle."

"Second sister-in-law, please let go!"

Zhang Chunhua let go of his hands, covered his mouth with a smile and said, "What's the panic about third uncle? I only think of one thing: Zhong Da often mentioned that third uncle is not allowed to see each other in front of his father and elder brother. You can come to sit at home when you are free, whether you take your sister-in-law or not." But, it’s also rare for a family to get close.”

Sima Fu said repeatedly, "Thank you, second brother, for your kindness" and hurried away.

The smile on Zhang Chunhua's face gradually cooled down, she looked at the two maidservants behind her: "Go and tell Zhong Da about today's affairs."

"Maids don't dare!" The two maids were trained to express themselves in such a way that they didn't even have any vitality. They were uniform and cold like robots.

Zhang Chunhua nodded in satisfaction: "Master, is he still studying?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Zhongda said he went to see Ah Zhao in his spare time?"

"Yes."

"Hey!" Zhang Chunhua laughed disdainfully, "What are you crazy about? You think you are a hero! Isn't it just that you can have a son? Who can't have a son! I can have one too."

Guo Xu would occasionally have the opportunity to enter the palace to meet Cao Cao's daughters. They are all nobles now, and their status is not low.There are a bunch of beauties and wives below them.

But Emperor Han didn't like them.

Of course, who likes to be forced to have sex with a woman, not to mention that Cao Cao's daughter is not even considered a beauty.

Cao Cao's daughter also doesn't like Emperor Han, no matter what kind of marriage, there must be a plan, if it is not possible to get the status of the emperor's concubine, who will be patient to enter the palace.

Every day when Emperor Han pretended to go to court, Empress Fu herself started working in the small court in the inner court.

It was not easy to be a queen in the Han Dynasty. Not to mention anything else, there were piles of reports written to Emperor Han every day.If Emperor Han doesn't like Fuhou, then the two are partners and must spend half of the day together, but unfortunately, Emperor Han and Fuhou have a very good relationship, so they are basically the only ones other than the court. We are together all the time, and there is nothing wrong with other concubines.

Cao nobles don't like to watch the emperor and empress show their happiness together every day, especially Cao Jie.When the Empress Qingqing and I sit together, she sometimes has to wait on the side, such as writing a report for the Empress at any time.

Empress Fu should have absolute authority in her own small court, but she will definitely give some face to Cao Guiren, but even so, Cao Jie is not satisfied. Not to mention that the queen gave her some work whenever she felt a whim.

Although those jobs are really nothing, I have tried to reduce their workload as much as possible, and I will not let them do it if they can, but occasionally there are still unavoidable inner court notices to write.Cao Jie thinks it's unfair, why should I do it, you are the queen so you can quit?Don't talk about you, and don't even think about your husband. Even the emperor can only be made by my father, so what are you a queen?

Cao Jie complained to Guo Xu: "It's really hateful for the empress to show off the guard of honor and pomp."

Guo Xu was amused: The queen's guard of honor is stipulated by the ritual system. She implements it in a well-regulated way because she is afraid that extra things will make your father find some excuses. Your current dissatisfaction is not the fault of the queen, but because you resent that the guard of honor is not you. That's all.

But Guo Xu didn't say that, but respectfully said to Cao Jie: "That's right. The Fu family is arrogant, extravagant and domineering, and he only favors jealousy. It's really unbearable to be a successor."

"Is there... a way to abolish legislation?" Cao Jie cast a glance at Guo Xu.

"Unless the mother loses her virtue, it is not enough to serve the ancestral temple."

"Second brother is a general with five sense organs. He is stationed at the gates of the palaces. He goes out to charge carts and rides. It is convenient to do things in the palace. You go back and ask him to make a mistake. If it works, I will speak well in front of my father."

Guo Xu came back and told Cao Pi about it, Cao Pi told Wu Zhi, Wu Zhi told Sima Yi, Sima Yi said, "I don't get involved in the Cao family's affairs."

How dare I get involved again, unless I don't want my life.Sima Yi said in his heart.

Then at night in Xudu, the security was suddenly stepped up. Groups of soldiers in armor ran around neatly on the street, disturbing people's panic. Even Xun You, who had been recuperating at home after Xun Yu's death, was alarmed and listened to people's instructions on the street. After seeing the situation above, the old man patted the side of the couch and became angry: "The achievements of several years will definitely be defeated by the hands of the boy! All these mountains and rivers belong to others!"

The next day Cao Cao sent someone to visit him, but Xun You died as soon as the man left.

died of illness.When Cao Cao heard the news, he burst into tears.

On behalf of some ministers, Cui Yan bit the bullet and asked Cao Cao about Xunyou's treatment after death, posthumous title and so on.

Cui Yan said that there is also Xun You's uncle, Xun Yu, who has never had a posthumous title, so let's make it up together.

Cao Cao said yes, and picked up a pen to write the word "respect".Cui Yan waited for a long time, and asked awkwardly: "Wei Gong, is there another one?"

Cao Cao glanced at Cui Yan: "It's all here!"

In the end, the uncle and nephew of the Xun family could only share the perfunctory posthumous title of "Jinghou".As for who to respect, no one wants to know.

Soon after Xun You's death, Cao Pi reported to Cao Cao that he had caught a servant who was said to have left the palace in the name of Queen Fu, and found a letter written by Fu Hou to assassinate Cao Cao with his father Fu Wan secret merchant.After a torture, all the servants confessed, saying that they were instigated by Fu Hou, and had been out of the palace three times to contact Fu Wan.

Cao Cao didn't like Fu Wan at first, and Ya was responsible for a part of the guarding of the palace, which should be Cao Cao's sphere of influence.

So after catching Fu, he was sent to prison, and the whole family of Fu's family was taken in. Hua Xin was ordered by Duke Wei to enter the palace to collect the Queen's Seal.

However, in the inner court, apart from Hua Xin seeing the trembling Emperor Han, and the court maid who shook his head and didn't know when he asked him, there was no trace of him behind him.

Hua Xin was wondering, a court lady was lying on the wall, listening to it, tapped the wall with her hand, and then nodded with her eyes on Hua Xin.

Hua Xin understood instantly, and turned around to order: tear down the wall!

Fu Hou who was hiding in the interlayer was pulled out, and when she was dragged to Emperor Han's side crying, she still had fantasies: "Can't you recover?"

"I don't know where my life is!" Emperor Han could only cry and give such an answer, and then watched his wife be ordered to be locked in a small room and executed in a way that he didn't know and didn't need to know, and then The two sons born in Fuhou were killed by sticks at the foot of the steps in front of the Emperor Han. Naturally, those who served Fuhou were not spared. Blood and shouts filled every corner of the hall for a while.

Emperor Han was frightened and fell ill, with a persistent high fever.But as soon as he lay down, Cao Cao came to ask him when he would establish a new queen. Emperor Han looked at the three Cao nobles kneeling below, and remembered that the little maid he saw that day was by Cao Jie's side.

Cao Jie was established as the queen logically, and finally he didn't have to look at the leader's face anymore.

The emperor's marriage is a great joy, and he can pardon the world.

Sima Yi had just returned home after paying his respects, when he ran into a woman head-on.

"Zhong Da."

"It turned out to be the daughter-in-law. Sima Yi is very polite." This is Cao Pi's elder sister. Sima Yi has met her twice but has never had a close relationship. I don't know why she came to the house today.

"Daughter is here to see Zhuo Jing?"

"The original intention was to see Zhong Da."

oh?Sima Yi didn't expect this.

"The concubine is going to get married tomorrow." The other party's voice was very soft, "From now on, my sister-in-law will entrust Zhong Da to her."

Sima Yi watched her walk away, wondering why she made a special trip to say such a sentence.

"This man is so smart." Zhang Chunhua came out from the house, "Knowing that I'm going to get married, I don't worry about my brother, so I came here to make friends with you."

Only then did Sima Yi realize that she was going to marry Xiahou Dun's son Xia Houmao: "It turned out that she was going to marry Ding Yi."

"That's right," Zhang Chunhua said indifferently, "Your young master Pi ran to Duke Wei and knelt for several hours because of this, saying that Ding Yi was one-eyed and not good enough for my sister, and finally gave it to Xiahou Mao—— Although Xia Houmao doesn't lack anything, isn't his father Xiahou Dun still a one-eyed boy, so why bother, she is destined to be destined to be with a one-eyed boy all her life."

"Mr. Pi offended Ding Yi for this. It was a good opportunity. Mr. Wei valued Ding Yi very much. This kind of marriage can bring Ding Yi down to Mr. Pi's faction."

Zhang Chunhua giggled: "Isn't there Ding Yi missing? Why don't you say that there is Cui Yan? Since his daughter died, he was very scared. I heard that he tried his best to show his favor to Mr. Pi? This person is also quite strange, shouldn't he wipe away his tears and join Young Master Zhi's camp in order to take down Young Master Pi and avenge his daughter?"

"Don't worry about other people's affairs." Sima Yi turned around and pushed Zhang Chunhua back into the room. "What does a woman's house look like leaning on the door!"

"I'm happy." Zhang Chunhua was not angry this time, "I heard that Cao Guiren has become the queen?"

"kindness."

"Stupid." Zhang Chunhua commented sharply.

"Watch your words."

"I'm not wrong. Everyone can see Wei Gong's thoughts now. Even if Wei Gong himself has no interest in the emperor's position, it is the result that Mr. Pi can't escape. What kind of queen is she still going to be? How many years can she be prosperous? It won't be long before I fall directly from the position of the queen, I don't know how disappointed it will be~ You said that they are all the daughters of Duke Wei, so why is there such a difference? The one who left just now is called smart, and it is better to marry a foreign minister than a foreign minister Puppet Emperor, if Cao Jie is also smart, he should have asked Mrs. Bian from the very beginning, and let the people around him give Wei Gong advice, and choose a suitable close minister as a husband early, instead of entering the palace."

Sima Yi tilted his head to look at Zhang Chunhua: "I remember...don't you also want to be a queen?"

"I'm not as stupid as she is! If I want to be a queen, I won't be as short-sighted as her. To me, being a queen is far better than being a queen. Moreover, to be a queen, I have to be a queen who is recognized by everyone and sincerely convinced. .”

"Okay, you can't be a queen just because of your carelessness in speaking." Sima Yi left Zhang Chunhua and went to the bookshelf to find books. "Have you ever seen the queen say, 'What's so great about having a son, I can have one too'?"

Zhang Chunhua's face changed suddenly, and she looked fiercely at the maidservants in the room.

"Don't look at them." Sima Yi was very leisurely, and sat down to read when he found the book. "They didn't tell me. It was Shuda who told me."

The way Zhang Chunhua looked at Sima Yi wished he could turn a knife into someone's eyes.

"Let me tell you, I do respect you as the hostess of the family, but the premise is that, as your husband, I am the host of the family. There is nothing in this family that can hide from me. If you fight against me, you are almost there. "

Zhang Chunhua's murderous expression suddenly turned into a charming smile. She stepped forward, removed the bamboo slips from Sima Yi's hand, put one arm on Sima Yi's shoulder, and said delicately: "What my husband taught me~ I must pay attention to changing it in the future-" ———" At the end, he was already gnashing his teeth.

Sima Yi calmly picked up another bundle of bamboo slips and looked at it: "Then hurry up and cook, I have to go out later, the work is endless."

The author has something to say:

This section is actually not very good-looking in terms of plot, but there are many subtexts, so I have to write...

Sima Lang and Sima Fang will soon be in trouble... Sima Yi also has a strong desire for revenge.

The names of Cao Cao's three daughters who entered the palace are not recorded in the annals of the Three Kingdoms. Cao Hua, Cao Jie, and Cao Xian are recorded in the "Huayang Guozhi".Regarding the attitude of Cao Cao's daughter who became a queen towards her husband and the Cao family, historical records are very different. For the sake of plot development, a different version from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is chosen here, but it is also based on it.

It is logical that the word "Zhuojing" appeared in the Three Kingdoms, because the source of the word is the story of Liang Hongmeng Guang in the Eastern Han Dynasty: "Chang Jingchai cloth skirt."

The one who married Xia Houmao was the later Princess Qinghe, and she was allowed to show her face because she had something to do with Sima Yi's daughter.

Ding Yi later had a feud with Cao Pi, and his whole family was killed after Cao Pi ascended the throne... Cui Yan is very good...but who made him have a bad relationship with Cao Cao and get involved in the succession dispute?So he was chopped off by Cao Cao before Cao Pi repaid...

Ps: The author guarantees the role of Ma Chao in the next section... In fact, the last sentence of this section has already hinted that Sima Yi will go to the government to attend the enlarged meeting of the Political and Military Bureau (Boss Cao thinks that even if Sima Yi is not required to marry, he still needs to watch it by his side feel more at ease), because for Boss Cao, Shuzhong is already in chaos... The famous offensive and defensive battle in Hanzhong is about to kick off...
