Emperor Shuang: The counterattack started from the Gaopingling Incident Chapter 249: Military Glory, Cao Mengde, the Good Stepfather of the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 249: Military Glory, Cao Mengde, the Good Stepfather of the Three Kingdoms
Cao Cao and his son also interfered in other people's marriages. For example, Cai Wenji, who inexplicably had an affair with Cao Cao in later generations, married Wei Zhongdao in her early years. As a result, she became a widow at a young age. Later, she was abducted by the Xiongnu King Zuoxian as his wife. Cao Cao took her
After the redemption, she married Dong Si and made him the "successor" again.
After Wei Shangshu Ling Huanjie passed away, Cao Pi planned to marry his widow Fu Shi to minister Sun Yong, but he declined.
Guan Yunchang also expressed to Cao Cao that he wanted to marry Qin Yilu's ex-wife Du, but Cao Cao took it upon himself as soon as he saw that Du was beautiful. Sun Quan's younger brother Sun Yi was killed by his subordinates Gui Lan and Dai Yuan, and they also took Sun Yi's concubines.
He and his left and right attendants all took over, and even planned to take over his wife Xu as well.
Liang Shuang, a native of Wang Yi's county, rebelled. In order to protect his daughter, Wang Yi did not commit suicide, but he did not want to be dominated by Liang Shuang, so he smeared feces on his clothes. The men in these incidents did not seem to care much about the woman's married status.
Divorce seemed to be a common thing among high-ranking officials at that time. For example, Cao Cao divorced his first wife Ding, Cao Pi divorced his first wife Ren, Sima Shi divorced his first wife Wu, and the aforementioned Qin Yilu was divorced by Cao Cao after he divorced his wife Du.
Taking advantage of the situation, Sun Quan and Liu Bei both lived in two places with their wives who were not in harmony with each other, making the marriage relationship exist in name only.
In the late Han Dynasty, due to war and displacement, families were separated and remarriage was very common, and widows remarried were very common.
Luo Tong, the general of Soochow, lost his father when he was young, and his mother married Hua Xin, the prefect of Yuzhang. Later, Luo Tong's stepfather Hua Xin returned to the Central Plains and became the founder of Cao Wei. However, he stayed in Soochow and became a subordinate of Sun Quan, together with his mother.
Never saw each other again.
During Sun Quan's time, because governors often rebelled, an edict was issued saying, "If a governor rebels and kills his wife, it will cause the wife to abandon her husband and the son to abandon his father, which will seriously harm the righteousness and religion. From now on, do not kill him."
Women are an important resource during times of war, even widows. When Cao Pi was in power, he ordered all counties to count the widows within their jurisdiction, and then the court unified marriage.
Cao Pi once asked Du Ji, the former governor of Hedong, why he gave away so few widows when he was the governor of Hedong, but now Zhao Yan, the governor of Hedong, gives away so many.
Du Ji said that he was sending widows who had not remarried, but Zhao Yan also sent widows who were married. Cao Pi and the people around him were shocked when they heard about it.
Zhang Mao, the prince's wife during the reign of Emperor Ming Emperor Cao Rui, sent a remonstrance, which mentioned that Cao Rui issued an edict to separate all the women from the scholar family who were married to non-shi families and remarry them to soldiers. The scholar family was the hereditary military household of Cao Wei.
Du Ji was transferred back to the imperial court just after Cao Pi came to the throne. The policy of allocating widows should have been formulated during the Cao Cao period. The three generations of the Cao family all regarded female household registration as national resources for unified distribution.
After all, Cao Cao and Cao Pi, two generations of Wei monarchs, set an example and liked wives. It is not surprising that they redistributed the widows in the country.
Widow redistribution was also a very common policy in the era of population shortages before the Three Kingdoms. King Gou Jian of Yue ordered that women not marry at the age of seventeen and men who did not marry at the age of twenty would directly convict their parents. In order to stimulate fertility, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty ordered the fifteenth
Unmarried women under the age of thirty must pay five times the head tax (poll tax).
This was done to force fertile women to marry early and contribute to adding more people to the Han Empire.
In general, women's status was not low during the Western Han Dynasty, and divorce and remarriage were common. Even Liu Che's mother, Wang Quan, married Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty after a divorce. People generally did not care much about women's second marriages.
Although the awareness of chastity began to emerge with the development of the times, the Three Kingdoms period generally inherited the moral values of the Han Dynasty. Coupled with the special social environment, second and even third marriages were quite common in all walks of life at that time.
Therefore, Cao Cao's love for widowed women cannot be regarded as a special hobby, but has a certain historical background. In order to vilify Cao Cao, later generations only added the title of "loving wives" to Cao Cao, but deliberately Ignoring the fact that Sun Quan and Liu Bei also married widows.
In addition, although it is not worthy of praise, Cao Cao did not artificially create divorced women like Zhao Yan and Cao Rui, and Cao Cao was very good to his wife and the children of his ex-husband, which can be regarded as an advantage.
But there are also times when his own son (Cao Ang) is killed because of this.
Cao Cao's Mrs. Huan, Cao Chong's mother, was once married. Her ex-husband, Bian Rang, gave birth to a daughter. After Cao Cao took Mrs. Huan in, the daughter's surname was "Cao", and her real name was Cao Xian, together with Cao Jie and Cao Hua. Together they married Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty as nobles.
Cao Cao's Mrs. Du was as beautiful as Diao Chan. Her ex-husband was Qin Yilu, and they had a son, Qin Lang.
Qin Yilu was a subordinate of Lu Bu and was sent as an envoy to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu married a daughter of the Han Dynasty clan to him, so for the sake of prosperity and wealth, he divorced Mrs. Du and even his son Qin Lang.
In the third year of Jian'an, Cao Cao besieged Lü Bu in Xiapi. Guan Yu fell in love with Mrs. Du and wanted to marry her off. However, seeing Du's beauty, Cao Cao took the lead and took her as his concubine.
Qin Lang then moved into the Cao Mansion with his mother. Cao Cao did not object and even raised a son for someone else. If the Du family followed the righteous Guan Yunchang, Qin Lang might not have this treatment, and he would not be adopted by Guan Yunchang as his adopted son. , maybe Du Shi will also be given to his eldest brother Liu Bei like clothing. Du Shi and Cao Cao gave birth to two sons, Cao Lin, Cao Gun, and a daughter, Princess Jinxiang.
Facts have proved that Cao Cao liked Qin Lang very much and adopted him as his adopted son. Later, he was promoted to General Xiaoqi. During the war, he led troops to attack the rebels of Xianbei Ke Bineng and Bu Dugen. Cao Cao once said to his guests: "In the world, Is there anyone who loves his stepson as much as I do? "It can be seen that Cao Cao loves this adopted son as much as his biological son.
Cao Cao's Mrs. Yin was the daughter-in-law of the former Han general He Jin. Due to her husband's early death, she was left alone in an empty house and had a son, He Yan. When Cao Cao was serving as Sikong, he married Yin and adopted He Yan together. Mrs. Yin gave Cao Cao a son, Cao Ju.
Since He Yan and Qin Lang were from similar backgrounds, they were quite close.
Qin Lang was cautious, but He Yan had no scruples. Relying on Cao Cao's favor, He Yan began to go beyond the rules and wore clothes similar to those of the prince. Therefore, Cao Pi disliked him very much and called him by his name instead of calling him by his name every time. For "fake son".
When He Yan grew up, he married Cao Cao's daughter, Princess Jinxiang, and became Qin Lang's brother-in-law. He and the Cao family were closely related. Cao Shuang not only adopted He Yan and Qin Lang, but also adopted Cao Shuang's father, Cao Zidan. It was truly the Three Kingdoms. What a great stepfather!
A quarter of an hour later, Yang Yizu also led his men to rush down from the city tower and join the group of Wu soldiers at the city gate. They still maintained restraint and allowed the Li soldiers to surrender. After all, their generals did not only count their military merits based on their heads, but
Recognize some other calculation methods of military merit,
The main reason is that they are still short of people in Soochow, they are short of warriors, they are short of labor force, and they are also short of more new people...
