Chapter 303 Tushan banquet, the criticism of women attending the banquet
Although there were some hiccups at the dinner, the overall atmosphere continued to be cheerful and warm. This kind of dinner would be held every once in a while by Cao Shuang, who was still the general, and now by Prime Minister Cao.
This banquet is not only a banquet, but also an excellent opportunity to contact subordinates or get together with friends. The woman is alone in another hall, hosted by Jian Jia and Bai Lingyun, and drinks
It is sweet fruit wine, and there are also wines shipped from the Western Regions.
The ladies all watched the singing and dancing with relish, and ate the fruits and vegetables elegantly. This was also a kind of preferential treatment for the courtiers' female relatives, who generally did not go out much.
Such a banquet is a rare opportunity for them to go out and talk with the women and families of other officials. They will also talk about interesting things that happened in Luoyang recently, which can be regarded as a good way to relieve their boredom.
But even if it is such a banquet where the female family members gather alone, there will still be objections, thinking that it is not proper etiquette for women to attend the banquet. This person is Wei Gongzhen.
But even so, he could continue to be an official in Cao Wei and become bigger and bigger, not only because of his own talents, but also because he had a good father.
Wei Zhen was named Gongzhen and was a native of Xiangyi, Chenliu County. Because of his father's relationship, he was valued by Cao Cao's group and was recommended by Xiahou Dun to become an official.
Wei Zhen is a very upright person. He neither flatters nor follows what others say, such as when he treated Xiahou Dun who recommended him.
When Xiahou Dun was the prefect of Chenliu, he allowed women to attend banquets. Wei Zhen believed that "this is a custom in a declining era, not a proper etiquette."
Xiahou Dun was furious and arrested Wei Zhen, but soon released him.
Wei Zhen later served as the Huangmen Minister of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao took the opportunity to stay and serve as the prime minister's military officer.
Because of his father's past meritorious service, he was given the title of Marquis of Guannei and was transferred to Hu Cao.
After Emperor Wen ascended the throne, he was appointed as a regular attendant of Sanqi.
Cao Pi ascended the throne as emperor and granted Wei Zhen the title of Marquis of Anguo Pavilion.
The emperor Cao Pi was the result of the abdication of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. This was a helpless move for Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie, but it was actually a wise choice because there were no Han officials at that time and they were all subordinates of the Wei Kingdom.
Already.
At that time, all the ministers praised the merits of the Wei state, but most of them belittled the previous dynasty. Only Wei Zhen affirmed the righteous act of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in abdicating the throne and praised the virtues of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wen looked at Wei Zhen several times and said: "I want to share the treasures of the world with Duke Shan Yang." He was promoted to minister and transferred to minister of the Ministry of official affairs.
Wei Zhen eventually became Situ. But although Wei Zhen had a high official position, his reputation was not very prominent compared with his father. However, his father Wei Zi was a famous figure in the Cao family.
In the first year of Chuping (190), the prefectures and counties in Guandong raised troops to attack Dong Zhuo, and Yuan Shao was elected as the leader of the alliance.
But these armies were all afraid of Dong Zhuo's power, and each wanted to protect themselves. No one dared to lead the troops.
Cao Cao believed that the uprising was to eliminate the rebellion. Now that the army had gathered, he should not hesitate any longer. He should take advantage of Dong Zhuo's loss of popular support and attack quickly, so that the world could be settled in one battle.
However, all the princes still had their own thoughts and did not move. Cao Cao then decided to lead his troops westward alone and occupy the important place of Chenggao first. His good friend Chenliu Prefect Zhang Miao sent General Wei Zi and his troops to follow him.
This Wei Zi is the father of Wei Zhen. History books say that Wei Zi was "a man of great character and general knowledge". He did not accept the recruitment of the three ministers at that time, but when Dong Zhuo was in rebellion, he summoned 3,000 soldiers and participated in the crusade against Dong Zhuo.
His righteous deeds were attributed to Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu.
When Cao Cao first arrived in Chenliu, Wei Zi met him and said: "This man must be the one who can bring peace to the world." Cao Cao was also surprised by him and visited him many times to discuss national affairs together.
Looking at it this way, it is not entirely an accident that Wei Zi followed Cao Cao to the west.
Unfortunately, in this battle, because Cao Cao was alone, he lost the battle, and Wei Zi also died in this battle.
Because of this relationship, every time Cao Cao came to Chenliu territory, he would send envoys to worship Wei Zi, and he also had a strong preference for Wei Zhen.
Zhu Yue, a native of Dongjun, rebelled and betrayed Wei Zhen. Cao Cao ordered: "Your father and I jointly launched great events, and I admire him very much. When I first heard Zhu Yue's confession, I didn't believe it. When I got Xun Lingjun's letter,
It further proves your loyalty and integrity." From then on, Wei Zhen also officially entered the Cao Wei Group.
Looking back, Wei Zhen dared to talk about the virtues of the previous dynasty. In addition to his upright character, it must be said that it was related to the deep friendship between his father and Cao Cao, because this was a kind of political reliance, which is what most people think of.
Political resources that are not available.
The banquet at this time was also called "Qu Banquet". The origin of the word "Qu Banquet" can be traced back to the poem "Giving Ding Yi" written by Pingyuan Marquis Cao Zhi a few years ago: "The guests fill the city gate, and the feast goes out."
Chef. I and my two or three sons will have a banquet in this corner of the city."
This is the first time that the word "Qu Banquet" clearly appears in the history books, but the Qu Banquet at this time is not a Qu Banquet in the later sense, but more like a gathering of friends in Xiaoyan, and the banquet location is not a palace but a corner of the city, in the middle of the court.
The minister can also hold a banquet at will, as long as he is strong enough,
Obviously, the nature of Quyan was vague when it first appeared, and there was no clear positioning yet.
Emperor Wei Ming Cao Rui also gave a banquet of music to the people in the palace.
"In the first year of Jingchu, the emperor visited the back garden and invited talented people to have a banquet with music." At this time, the banquet began to have a palace nature. It was a banquet given by the emperor to his concubines, and it was a royal family banquet.
He Yan was drinking happily, but suddenly he sighed and said: "Hey, today's banquet is quite good. There is Guangling Powder from Shu Ye to help the wine. It's a pity that there is no Tushan from Sun Zhongmou! If there is that Tushan, I will wait for you."
What kind of artistic conception would it be if the wind on the river could still blow?"
Sun Quan once ordered the construction of a floating palace - Tushan, which could be moved at will in the river.
This palace is not only Sun Quan's palace, but also a place where he receives distinguished guests and holds banquets. Tushan must have been very impressive in hosting banquets.
Cao Shuang said with a smile: "Uncle Ping, don't worry. In a few years, my father-in-law's Tushan will probably be available to me. Then we can have a banquet on Tushan, and then we can also invite my uncle to play Guangling San at night."
, Si Zong can also roar on the river."
Yang Zong and others put down their wine cups and chopsticks, stopped what they were doing, clasped their fists and said, "I will do my best to help the Prime Minister capture Soochow!"
Cao Shuang waved his hand and said with a smile: "You'd better drink and eat food first. We are not that group of heroes today, so you can't even use the food and wine. Such a big thing needs to be discussed in the future."
The gathering of heroes was considered to be the most deceptive dinner party in Soochow during the Battle of Chibi a few years ago. People at the banquet could not drink and eat in peace, but only played tricks on each other.
