Chapter 835: In front of the Shouyang Mausoleum
At the end of the first month of the third year of Han Jianxing, Cao Pi, the lord of Wei, was unable to tolerate the bitter cold when he asked to descend, and died of serious illness.
Therefore, after his death, the coffin was stopped for 27 days and the Shouyang Mausoleum was relocated.
Shouyang Mausoleum is a mausoleum that Cao Pi sent people to excavate and build in the third year of the early Huang Dynasty, which is in the east of Luoyang.
This is the location of the mausoleum selected by Cao Pi in his early years, and the construction project is also simple, there is no burial chamber for burial, and there is no building on the surface of the mausoleum.
The planned funeral goods are also very simple, only tiles.
The entire mausoleum is located on Shouyang Mountain, and there are no trees planted to consolidate the soil, nor is there a pile of sealed soil that is as thick as a hill and used to prevent theft.
It was like a big pit, Cao Pi wore sackcloth and wrapped his body in the newly made cotton cloth in Guanzhong.
Cao Zhi and Cao Lin, who came to the funeral and presided over the funeral, came to see Cao Pi on the last journey, and the two of them laid bricks and tiles at the bottom of the tomb, and after hanging Cao Pi's body, they built bricks and tiles layer by layer, until the bricks covered Cao Pi with more than ten layers, Cao Zhi and Cao Lin were dragged up in a hanging basket.
In order to avoid disturbing the cleanliness of tomb robbers in the future, the soil and stones here are excavated layer by layer, specially stored, and then backfilled layer by layer.
In this way, even if the tomb robbers determine the specific location of the mausoleum, they cannot judge the precise location of the mausoleum by the difference in soil.
Similar to Cao Cao's tomb in the western suburbs of Yedu, after the death of the contemporaries who participated in the construction, it is difficult for future generations to obtain clues about the precise location of the mausoleum from the ground.
With the final ground expansion and leveling, the Cao clan and close relatives remained.
Cao Xiu asked Cao Zhi: "Zijian, Kanto is an eventful place, where will Zijian go in the future?" ”
Cao Lin was also concerned about going to see Cao Zhi, and Cao Xiu was advising Cao Zhi to get out early and find a place to hide from the limelight.
Cao Zhi blinked his eyes and looked at the bare ground in front of him, and there were dry grass on other slopes around him, but this place was very clean, and it would probably be able to merge with the surrounding ground by this time next year, regardless of each other.
The faces of many people flashed in their minds, the faces of Cao Cao and Cao Pi disappeared first, then Ziwen's brother, and finally the original wife Cui Shi, who was given to death by Cao Cao for violating the costume.
After that, Cui's face also became stiff and hideous until it dissipated.
Finally, there is the mother Bian, and the faces of the children.
With a long breath of turbidity, Cao Zhi said: "I want to send an envoy to welcome back my mother, and choose a place in the mountains and wilderness, so that my mother can enjoy her life in peace." ”
First do your filial piety, support your mother, and then discuss your own life, ideals, positions and other issues.
Cao Xiu bowed slightly: "This person's common sense, I expect that the imperial court will approve this." ”
This kind of thing will not be obstructed by the Hebei side.
As for the way of the world after the death of the Bian family, who can say clearly?
Cao Xiu turned his head to look at Cao Lin: "Where does Ji Leopard want to go?" ”
Cao Lin didn't think about it, and seemed to have been prepared: "Duke Chen sent an envoy to welcome back the King of Hejian, and I want to study medicine with the King of Hejian." For the rest of his life, he practiced medicine and medicine to atone for the sins of his father and brother. ”
The king of Hejian is Liu Xie, the Duke of Shanyang canonized by the Wei State; With the resumption of the sunshine, on the fifteenth day of the first month, when the Jiangdu Imperial Court held a grand meeting, he began to talk about his merits and be promoted.
The first step is to deal with the issue of Liu Xie, which the imperial court has always been unwilling to face, and naturally it is impossible to recognize the title of Duke of Shanyang, who uses the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, and must redraft the title and title.
The emperors of the Later Han Dynasty starting from Emperor Huan all originated from the lineage of Liu Kai, the filial piety king of Hejian.
Crowning Liu Xie as the king of Hejian will be able to temporarily straighten out the legal system in this regard.
Since Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie's life has always been plain and quiet; Except for the desperate remnants of the Yanzhou Army during the Northern Expedition of the Han Army, under the bewitchment and guidance of Yang Jun and Guo Yi, they briefly supported Liu Xie's restoration for a period of time, and Liu Xie lived a pure rural life during the rest of the time.
During this time, Liu Xie practiced medicine on weekdays, and his good name spread everywhere.
Cao Xiu saw that Cao Lin was not joking, but seemed to have made up his mind to quit the whirlpool of government and politics and go to the countryside to practice medicine.
I wanted to say some words of encouragement to Cao Lin, but I couldn't say it.
Since Qin Lang changed his name to Lu Lang, it has caused more turmoil.
First of all, when Lu Bu stabbed Dong, Tian Xin's nominal grandfather Tian Yi at the moment was Dong Zhuo's inseparable master, and Tian Yi took the initiative to pounce on Dong Zhuo to kill him in order to protect Dong Zhuo's body from being destroyed.
This is an act of righteousness...... It was Lu Bu and his cronies who stabbed Tian Yi to death with a spear.
Therefore, after Qin Lang changed his surname and restored the Lu family, it would not bring much benefit to himself, Cao Lin, and Cao Yan brothers, but would cause estrangement and alienation in Beifu.
Originally, Cao Lin still had a chance to appear normally, but because Qin Lang's restoration of the Lu clan attracted vigilant eyes, and now in this environment of melon fields and plums, Cao Lin's initiative to quit is also a good end.
Cao Xiu only patted Cao Lin on the shoulder and persuaded: "With Chen Gong's mind for the world, he will never make the pearl dusty." ”
He turned his head to look at Cao Zhi: "I don't worry about Ji Leopard, I only worry about Zijian." ”
Cao Zhi squeezed out a smile: "Brother Wenlie, I am already an unfaithful person, and now I don't want to be an unfilial person." ”
Before the end of filial piety, won't you do other things?
Cao Xiu still frowned when he heard this, and could only nod: "That son built it for himself." If I raise a sword again, I will not spare you. ”
Cao Zhi was silent, his smile was reluctantly bowed, Cao Xiu also returned the salute, and separated from Cao Li, then turned around and strode towards the guard, caught the reins handed by the guard, stepped on the stirrup on the horse, rode on the white rabbit, pulled the reins, and led several horses downhill.
Cao Lin looked at Cao Xiu's back, if the Han court moved back to the capital and had other actions, there would inevitably be a force responsible for cleaning and suppressing it.
People who can do this kind of dirty work, can still work hard and actively, and can also do it well with great experience...... It's already chosen.
Cao Xiu, Xu Chu, Xiahou Ba, Ma Chao, and Zhang He, the team composed of these five people is enough to purge and suppress the stubborn hostile elements from all sides.
Cao Lin thought of his mother Du Shi again, and he only sighed at the moment.
Fortunately, he has three brothers, and he lives in the wilderness, and his sister and two brothers serve and fulfill their filial piety.
As for the mother, she was a person who was accustomed to living in a prosperous place, and would rather hang herself at the city gate than live in the countryside and in a deserted place.
Gathering his mind, Cao Lin said goodbye to Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhi also gave him away.
Cao Lin rode a colt and led his servants down the hill, at the end of which two carriages were waiting for him, and his wife and newborn daughter were waiting for him.
After Cao Lin left, Cao Zhi led his servants and warriors down the mountain on foot, settled down the slope, guarded the tomb for Cao Pi for a period of time, and waited for Cao Yong to come back from Guanzhong to replace him.
Cao Pi's death was too sudden, and Ma Chao was in charge of the military in the Luoyang area.
At this moment, Cao Yong wanted to come back to guard filial piety, but he would also be dissuaded by other generals and ministers from the Wei State.
In order to keep filial piety, how to live up to Cao Pi's expectations?
In this special period, there must be special ways to deal with it, and we must not stick to dogma.
No one can figure out Ma Chao's style of acting, and he may change his mind in the time of a meal.
can't pin your net worth on Ma Chao's credibility and kindness, this is a life lesson for many people.
Too many people, including Cao Zhi, feel that Ma Chao has taken over the military affairs of Luoyang...... It will be a huge surprise to Tian Xin and the imperial court.
Revenge on the spot and killing Cao Pi was just a small surprise, and maybe there will be even bigger surprises in the future.
What kind of surprise it is, we have to think slowly.
Cao Zhi is very patient and willing to wait for Ma Chao's surprise.
In the next year or two, the biggest variable in the world is no longer Sima Yi, it should revolve around Ma Chao.
