Chapter 0176: Cao Apu as a Guide (Fourth Request for Support)
"Lord, these visitors are more important...... "In the main hall of the outer house, Tian Feng put the gift list on the table, took out a few and said.
Li Yi took it casually and said indifferently: "Oh, I'll take a look." General He Jin, Taiwei Deng Sheng, Sikong Zhang Wen, Situ Yuan Kui, Weiwei Yang Biao......"
Tian Feng hurriedly said: "Lord Qiqi, these people are all from the lord of the mansion. ”
Li Yi smiled, these people are all important ministers who are in power, and it is impossible for them to come to visit him in person. He threw the gift list on the table and said: "You go and arrange an order, visitors must have a return, well, mainly use the goods of our Li Family Chamber of Commerce, not more than the number of congratulatory gifts, and you can arrange the rest yourself." ”
"Yes!" Tian Feng agreed and withdrew.
Li Yi originally thought that one day would be almost able to deal with these visitors, but what he didn't expect was that as time went by, more and more people followed. In Luoyang City, as long as there are some officials of the same rank, either in person or by sending people, they all send congratulatory gifts.
In fact, this matter is easy to understand, Li Yi was originally from a famous family, and now he is the number one celebrity in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, and his honor is unprecedented, as long as there are people with some brains, they will come to visit.
Li Yi came from later generations and naturally knew the importance of the grassroots level, so even if he was a petty official of two or three hundred stones, he was also received.
Such a move made these petty officials grateful, and when they left the Li Mansion, they passed on the name of Corporal Li Yi Lixian.
Unexpectedly, after the news came out, the situation became even more uncontrollable, hundreds of such petty officials in Luoyang came, and even the officials of the surrounding counties and counties also came quickly.
Li Yi was helpless, met one by one, and was not idle for three whole days, and the plan to accompany Zhang Fei and them to go out to visit Luoyang naturally came to fruition.
Until the fourth day. The front of Li's mansion was finally clean, and Li Yi was also free.
But just when Li Yi was about to go out to play with a group of brothers, Cao Cao, the kid, came to Li's mansion.
It turned out that Cao Cao was leaving Luoyang and rushing to Jinan to take up his post, and he came specifically to resign to Li Yi.
Li Yi didn't expect Cao Cao to come to bid him farewell, after all, although they fought side by side in Jizhou, the relationship between them was not good, and it could even be said that they were intrigued.
After learning that Li Yi planned to go out to visit Luoyang, Cao Cao immediately volunteered. Be a guide. In this regard, Li Yi did not refuse. Early Luoyang, Cao Cao, this kid is definitely the head snake. He can be said to have grown up in Luoyang, and when he was very young, he did evil in Luoyang with Yuan Shao, Xu You and other ancestors. He even sneaked into Zhang Rang's house, and after being discovered by Zhang Rang, he escaped over the wall with a halberd in his hand and retreated.
Later, with the relationship between his grandfather Cao Teng and Lao Tzu Cao Song. He was recommended as filial piety, became a Lang official in Luoyang, and was soon appointed as the lieutenant of northern Luoyang.
It can be said that this experience was a turning point in Cao Cao's life.
Before he became the governor of northern Luoyang. Cao Cao is a second ancestor who has done evil, and he is very deceitful. But after becoming the governor of northern Luoyang, he showed signs of being a good official.
Luoyang is the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty and is a place where royal relatives and nobles live. It's hard to govern, and ordinary people can't control the scene at all, even if it's a disciple of a gate valve with a deep background like Cao Cao.
But Cao Cao is not an ordinary person after all. As soon as he arrived at his post, he affirmed the ban, strictly enforced the law and discipline, and made more than ten five-colored sticks, which were hung around the yamen, "Those who violate the ban will be killed with sticks." The emperor's favored eunuch Jian Shuo's uncle Jian Tu violated the ban on night walking, and Cao Cao showed no mercy and executed Jian Tu with a five-colored stick.
Under such an iron-fisted rectification, "the Beijing master has collected traces, and no one dares to offend".
However, Cao Cao also offended Jian Shuo and some other powerful people in the current dynasty, and because of the relationship between his father Cao Song, Cao Cao was transferred to Dunqiu County, which was far away from Luoyang, and was appointed as the commander of Dunqiu County. This year, Cao Cao was twenty-three years old.
Many years later, Cao Cao wrote a letter to his son Cao Zhi, "Ring Zizhi": "I used to be the commander of Dunqiu, and I was twenty-three years old, thinking about what I did at this time, and I have no regrets about the present. This year is also twenty-three, but not reluctantly! ”
Having such a local snake as his guide naturally benefits him to be familiar with the situation in Luoyang.
But what Li Yi never expected was that the first place Cao Cao led them to was such a place.
This is not far from Tongtuo Street, close to the gold market, a place called Yihongyuan, just listen to the name you will know what kind of place it is.
Li Yixin said that I depend, I often hear that Cao Aman is lustful, but I didn't expect it to be true.
There are not many people who follow Li Yi, only Tian Feng and Zhang Fei.
"Lord, Feng suddenly remembered that there are still many things to deal with in the house, so go first." Tian Feng saw that Cao Cao led a few people to such a place, and made a big red face. He doesn't have any other thoughts, the children of the big family, it's normal to play with singers, but he is a serious person, and he is not good at this.
"Oops!" Cao Cao grabbed Tian Feng and said with a smile, "Brother Yuan Hao, this time you have to leave, you have to give me this face no matter what." ”
"It's really a lot of affairs in the house." Tian Feng was afraid that he would pull himself up, so he hurriedly threw up his sleeves and ran away.
"Hahaha...... The military advisor is like this. Hugh will take care of him, and the three of us will go together. "Zhang Fei is a cold guy, when he was in Zhuojun before, he had never been to such a place, and now although he has a charming little beauty at home, he still seems a little impatient after listening to Cao Cao's words.
"Wha...... In this way, the three of us will go and find a prostitute to play......" Cao Cao said with a laugh.
Li Yi was about to tell Zhang Fei that we should not go in, but this kid might as well pull him forward. Zhang Fei's strength is famous, and Li Yi was not wary, and even let him enter the gate called Yihong Courtyard.
I saw a middle-aged woman who still had a lingering charm come out and giggled: "Oh, it turns out that Cao Xianggong is here, please come in and ...... quickly."
At this time, Li Yi couldn't pretend to be serious and ran out.
In fact, after nearly four years in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Li Yi has already figured out that the folk customs of the Eastern Han Dynasty were very open. Moreover, this era is not only the envy of men, but also the envy of women.
In the Han Dynasty, whether it was a noble woman or a commoner woman, her spirit was more independent, her words and deeds were more spontaneous, and her feelings were more enthusiastic and unrestrained. It is said that women in the Tang Dynasty were the happiest, but in fact, it is a bit misunderstood. In addition to a few princesses and concubines in the political whirlpool, there are not many Tang Dynasty women who have left their names through the ages, and those few women who mark female poets Xu Hui, Shangguan Wan'er, Xue Tao, and Li Ye have no paper names or influences that are far inferior to those of their previous lives and descendants, and they really live up to that glorious and prosperous era.
In contrast, it was the Han Dynasty that had a higher happiness index for women. Examining the legends of the official history and wild history, all kinds of records undoubtedly show that in the Han Dynasty, both aristocratic women and commoner women had more freedom and more relaxed living space, their spirit was more independent, their words and deeds were more spontaneous, and their feelings were more enthusiastic and unrestrained.
During the Han Dynasty, there were not so many women's festivals, but they had considerable autonomy over love and marriage. Society is extremely tolerant of women, and it is extremely common and natural for a woman to marry three times. Not only can Zhuo Wenjun, the daughter of a commoner, "run at night" Sima Xiangru and deduce a story through the ages, but the supreme queen mother and princess can remarry or even marry three or four times.
Just like Emperor Wen of Han's mother, Empress Dowager Bo, Emperor Jing of Han's queens are also remarried, and no one criticizes the ministers and the people, and no one talks about things endlessly. Even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in order to make his mother happy, actually personally picked up his half-sister and gave him a knighthood, which is equivalent to revealing to the whole world that the queen mother remarried before entering the palace. The wife of the famous founding minister Chen Ping actually married Chen Ping five times before marrying Chen Ping. These things are all stunned in the modern times where Li Yi once lived.
Also, women in the Han Dynasty not only married freely, but also dared to love and hate. Luo Fu in "Mo Shang Sang", Hu Ji in "Yu Lin Lang", and the heroine in "Baitou Yin", whether they love or hate, they are all the same brave and decisive. Orchid said in the face of the powerful Huo Jianu, "I don't hesitate to crack the red Luo, how to talk about the humble body", and the woman in "Baitou Yin" said to her beloved husband "Wen Jun has two intentions, so he decided to break off" is the same touching and admirable. The women of the Han Dynasty are really worthy of the test words of "self-respect and self-love, dare to love and hate".
In the era of the Han Dynasty, it was still far away from the birth of feudal science, and it preserved a little residual charm of the matriarchal society, so compared with later generations, women in the Han Dynasty had a social status that later generations could not imagine, and the breadth and depth of their participation in social life were incomparable to other dynasties.
From the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many empress dowagers in power, which can be called the highest peak of women's power in Chinese history. Starting from Lu Pheasant, Wang Zhengjun, the empress of Emperor Yuan of the Western Han Dynasty, Empress Dowager Dou of Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Empress Dowager Deng, Empress Dowager Yan of Emperor An, etc., reached as many as seven or eight. Not only that, even those queen dowagers who do not have the name of ruling have great power, which has a profound impact on the country and political situation, and female feudal lords abound.
Han Shi was also very tolerant and respectful of women. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's Empress Wei Zifu, Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty's Empress Zhao Feiyan, and the future wife of Cao Cao Cao's boss next to him, Mrs. Bian, were all born as courtesans and had humble backgrounds, but they were also the same mother of the world, whether they were ministers or people, they all recognized it.
The women of the Han Dynasty not only had a firm heart, dared to love and hate, and were bold and confident, but also had a stretch of soul and calmness. Wang Zhaojun took the initiative to ask for marriage, and Zhu Maichen's wife asked for divorce, which is a full understanding of women's self-worth and a struggle to change their own destiny. Ban Zhao continued the history, Wen Ji wrote poems, Ti Ying saved his father, Wen Jun ran at night, a beautiful, enthusiastic, confident and brave woman, wrote her own happy life with wisdom and perseverance, and deduced the extraordinary legend of women in the Han Dynasty.
It is with these understandings that Li Yi was not too embarrassed after being pulled into this Yihong Courtyard. (To be continued.) )
