After Cao Cao was captured, he was temporarily imprisoned.
The rest of the Cao family and Xiahou family are also having a hard time, and they are considered to be imprisoned. They currently live in the northwest of Luoyang City.
Mang Mountain is the imperial mausoleum of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Except for Liu Bian, Liu Xie, and Beixiang Marquis Liu Yi, the fifteen emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the other twelve emperors, including Liu Yu, were all buried in the Mang Mountain area.
It turns out that people are not allowed to live, cultivate or graze near Mang Mountain in the north of Luoyang City, because the location of the imperial mausoleum is very hidden. It is often buried deep underground and completely sealed, and only a few people know about it.
In addition, some imperial mausoleums had temple buildings built before, but some did not, and only some soldiers were arranged to live and breed here to guard the tombs. These tomb guards only knew an approximate location.
Therefore, if people are allowed to break into Mang Mountain at will and observe the buildings near the imperial mausoleums and the villages where the tomb-keepers are stationed, it is very possible to find the tombs of the emperors of the past dynasties.
Therefore, the entire Mang Mountain will basically be sealed off, and no one is allowed to get close to it. No one is allowed to dig medicinal materials and wild vegetables in the mountain, and people are not allowed to breed nearby.
But later this situation changed.
Because of Dong Zhuo's rebellion, almost all the imperial mausoleums and tombs of public ministers that could be stolen were robbed.
Except for a few emperors who advocated simple burials with few grave goods, temple buildings and mausoleum guards, such as the original mausoleum of Emperor Guangwu and the Jingling Mausoleum of Emperor Zhang of Han, most of the imperial mausoleums suffered.
Therefore, many of the tombs of emperors and ministers in Mang Mountain are now empty. Chen Mu sent teachers and students from the Archeology Department of Taishan Academy of Geology to conduct rescue excavations of the tombs in various places in Mang Mountain.
Finally, most of the imperial mausoleums and the tombs of ministers were re-excavated, a new cemetery was designated, and the bones and remaining funerary objects were moved.
The emperor's mausoleum and the minister's mausoleum were re-selected. They used to be buried separately, but now they are arranged in the emperor's cemetery and the minister's cemetery. It is also stipulated that all emperors and ministers must be buried lightly in the future. After the death of the ministers, they can be buried in their ancestral graves. If they are not buried back,
The ancestral grave must be buried in Gongqing Cemetery.
After the overall planning of the imperial tombs of Mang Mountain, the resources of the entire mountain range were suddenly vacated. The imperial court opened Mang Mountain to the people. The wood, medicinal materials, wild vegetables, minerals, and animals in the mountain have all become important resources. According to regulations, they can
Carry out mining.
When Liu Bei conquered the world, he captured a large number of princes. As long as they had not done anything particularly serious, such as slaughtering a city or resisting to the end, they would often be pardoned, given a title of nobility, given a certain amount of manor land, and imprisoned in Luoyang for retirement.
After Cao Cao surrendered, his family moved to Luoyang. Now the land of the three cities in the east, west and south has almost reached the third ring road. After passing the Longhu Beach in Luoshui, the densely packed lanes have reached the old system of Biguiyuan and Lingkunyuan.
These two forest gardens were built by Liu Hong, Emperor Xiaokang of the Han Dynasty. They were more than 20 kilometers away from the Luoyang Palace. They were originally a mountain forest. In other words, the Luoyang metropolitan area now stretches more than 20 kilometers from the suburbs to the palace.
Although it cannot be compared with the super metropolis of later generations that traveled hundreds of kilometers to the southeast, this was in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, which is enough to prove that after many years of operation, Luoyang has become quite the international metropolis.
As the three cities in the east, west and south became saturated, it was difficult to find residences for the princes, counselors and generals who had surrendered in large numbers, such as the Cao family and Yuan family. Therefore, Liu Bei deliberately built a patchwork of houses and planned streets in the northern suburbs for them to live.
Xia Houjuan was Xia Houyuan's niece. She had a special status and belonged to the Jiangchen family. She was frightened in Luoyang and did not dare to offend any dignitaries rashly, so she was forced to tell her home address.
However, the Xiahou family is also a big family. There are thousands of people in Dingkou, forming a huge manor family. Zhang Fei only knew that he was the Xiahou family, but did not know which family he belonged to, so he was afraid that he could not find it, so he instinctively wanted to call Xiahou Juan.
Ask clearly.
But Chen Mu knew that he was afraid that Zhang Fei would offend his family, so he whispered in his ear and told him that he and his eldest brother would handle the matter.
A few days later.
The weather was fine that day, so Liu Bei first summoned Cao Cao to come to the West Garden for a drink.
Due to the rare good weather, Cao Cao has lived in Luoyang for several years and often lives in seclusion. Liu Bei and Chen Mu often invite him to chat together, so he is used to it.
He was wearing dark purple uniform and his hair was much whiter than before. He was led by the chamberlain to the West Garden.
Because the West Garden is outside the West Palace and is surrounded by Chan water, it flows through it. When Dong Zhuo burned the palace, the lake and Chan water in the West Garden played a role in isolating it, so it was preserved and became a place where Liu Bei occasionally escapes the summer heat.
.
There are also a large number of exotic flowers and plants left over from the Emperor Kangxi of the Han Dynasty in the garden. Liu Bei did not continue to spend money to expand, but instead retained the original buildings and repaired and maintained them.
At this time, in the pavilion in the West Garden, Liu Bei was standing at the railing of the pavilion feeding the fish with fish food, while Chen Mu was kneeling on the table to warm wine.
Cao Cao entered the West Garden, took three steps at a time and came to the outside of the pavilion. He bent down and cupped his hands and said, "I have met your Majesty."
"Meng De is here, sit down."
Liu Bei turned around, threw all the fish food in his hands into the lake, clapped his hands, smiled and asked Cao Cao to come over and sit down.
Cao Cao came over quickly.
Chen Mu smiled and said, "Brother Meng De has been very active recently and has done great things at home."
"ah?"
Cao Cao didn't know what to say for a while and froze on the spot.
Chen Mu divided the cups, poured the wine and said with a smile: "Brother works in the fields every day at home, do you really want to be a farmer?"
"Forehead......."
Cao Cao looked embarrassed and said with an apologetic smile: "I once didn't know the weather. I used eggs to hit rocks and used the power of ants to shake Mount Tai. I was extremely stupid. Fortunately, Your Majesty and the Prime Minister spared my life because of the kindness of our old acquaintance. How stupid I was.
I have no choice but to beg Tian and ask for a house."
"Hahahahaha."
Chen Mu laughed and said, "That's not possible. Brother Mengde is a capable minister in governing the world. How can he be busy working in the fields all day long? My eldest brother and I are still waiting for Brother Mengde to become an official and contribute to the great Han Dynasty."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Uh..."
Cao Cao didn't know whether what he said was true or false, so he didn't dare to answer rashly, so he had to continue to laugh and laugh.
Liu Bei sat down on the main seat and said with a smile: "My fourth brother is right. Meng De has known each other for more than 20 years. He has been an unyielding person ever since he asked for the Yellow Turban. Although he was confused for a while, he is still a talented person in the country.
You must serve your country."
"Your Majesty is overly complimentary."
Cao Cao waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I am a foolish person. If I am filial and honest, I will become an official. I will be favored by the court and will be an official in the court. But I don't know how long it will take. If I can win your majesty's curtain with a mantis arm, it is enough. How can I dare to try to become an official?"
"OK OK."
Liu Bei smiled and said: "Mengde, don't be humble. I called Mengde here today because I actually have something to say."
Cao Cao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please tell me that I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"Not that serious."
Liu Bei raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "I heard that there is a woman in the Xiahou family, named Xiahou Juan, who is of marriageable age. I wonder if she will take a leave of absence?"
Cao Cao's expression changed slightly, and he thought that Liu Bei was really a beast, and he would not even spare anyone of his own generation.
But people did not dare to lower their heads under the eaves. Although he was cursing in his heart, Cao Cao immediately adjusted his expression and said: "She is Miaocai's niece. It seems that she is not married."
Liu Bei then said: "A few days ago, my second, third and fourth brothers and I went out for an outing in the city. The third brother accidentally fell down in the field and was helped up by this woman. Yide fell in love with her at first sight, but he was afraid of being rude and did not dare to come to the door.
, but I want to ask Brother Meng De if the Xiahou family is interested?"
It turned out to be Zhang Fei.
Cao Cao thought about it for a while. Although Zhang Fei was many years older than Xia Houjuan, he heard that he was still unmarried, which meant that if Xia Houjuan married, he would definitely be his first wife.
With Zhang Fei's current status, if Xiahou Juan becomes the principal wife, the Xiahou family will surely rise to heaven, and they will also get rid of the embarrassing status of being reduced to a general in the future.
Um.
This is a good thing.
Cao Cao only thought for a moment and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will go to Miaocai to discuss this matter as soon as possible."
Chen Mu glanced at Cao Cao, rolled his eyes, and suddenly felt so blessed that he said to Liu Bei: "Brother, I heard that Brother Meng De has several daughters who are in their prime of life. It happens that the prince has not married yet, why don't you kiss one of them?"
relative?"
"oh?"
Liu Bei touched his chin beard and glanced at his fourth brother, thoughtfully.
Cao Cao suddenly became nervous.
Unexpectedly, Chen Mu would suddenly propose that Liu Bei's son marry his own daughter, and it was also the prince Liu Feng. If this was the case, when the prince succeeded to the throne, wouldn't the Cao family also be able to ascend to heaven?
"Um."
Liu Bei nodded, turned to look at Cao Cao and said, "Mengde, what do you think?"
Cao Cao hurriedly said: "I wonder which of my daughters does your Majesty like?"
"At that time, look at the birthdays and choose the best one."
Chen Mu smiled.
Cao Cao nodded repeatedly.
The three people quickly reached an agreement to sell the Xiahou family's niece and their own daughter. They had a very happy conversation and quickly toasted and exchanged glasses. The atmosphere was very harmonious and harmonious.
After the banquet, Cao Cao said goodbye and left, and Liu Bei asked Chen Mu, "Fourth brother, what do you think?"
Chen Mu said: "The Cao family has a daughter, Cao Jie, who is the kindest. And the prince does not have to marry her as his wife, just a concubine. After marrying the Cao family's daughter, all the old members of the Cao family can be used by the elder brother."
"Um."
Liu Bei thought for a moment, nodded and said: "It's exactly what the fourth brother said. It's a pity that Xiyu is only 11 years old this year. It would be nice if he was 5 years older."
Chen Mu scratched his head and said, "You can't force this."
"Hahaha."
Liu Bei laughed: "It doesn't matter. The marriage has been decided anyway. Let Feng'er take Cao's daughter as his concubine first. When Xiyu grows up, she will marry Feng'er as the main wife."
Chen Mu was helpless and wanted to say something, but couldn't, so he had to give up.
In fact, he asked Liu Feng to marry Cao Jie. In addition to taking over the old members of the Cao family, the most important thing was that Cao Jie was very virtuous. In history, Cao Pi became emperor and asked Cao Jie for the imperial seal. Cao Jie did not turn to Cao Pi, but resented him.
The Cao family usurped the throne and their hearts turned towards the Han Dynasty.
Although it can be understood that she could not let go of her noble status as a queen, she still followed Liu Xie after he was deposed, and she often went to the mountains with Liu Xie to collect medicine and treat the villagers, which shows her virtuous nature.
.
Therefore, when Chen Xiyu marries Liu Feng in the future, Cao Jie will probably not be unhappy because of jealousy. Unlike Cao Cao's eldest daughter, Princess Qinghe wanted to kill her husband Xiahou Mao because of jealousy.
no way.
Liu Bei must let his sons and daughters marry among the children of the three brothers.
But the three brothers have no children of marriageable age.
Guan Yu had children relatively early, and Guan Ping was almost 30 years old this year. When he married, Liu Bei had no daughters of the right age, so he married a daughter from a noble family.
Later, due to the war, Guan Yu was stationed in Luoyang to confront Yuan Shao. His wife and concubines were all in Qingzhou, so they naturally had no time to have children.
It was not until the early years of Zhangwu that Liu Bei succeeded to the throne and Hebei was completely pacified. Guan Yu reunited with his family. One of his concubines gave birth to a second son Guan Xing, and later gave birth to a daughter Guan Feng. They are now 6 years old and 4 years old.
As for Zhang Fei.
If you don’t even have a wife, how can you have sons and daughters?
Therefore, Chen Mu, who got married relatively early, became Liu Bei's main target.
But Chen Mu’s children are not very old either.
He married Luo Fu in the third year of Chuping, that is, at the end of 192 AD. Shortly after the marriage, Luo Fu became pregnant with his eldest son, Chen Xiyu, who was born in the second half of the first year of Xingwu.
Then the eldest daughter Chen Xiyu was born in the fourth year of Xingwu, the second son Chen Xilin was born in the third year of Yonghan, and the youngest daughter Chen Xiwei was born in the third year of Zhangwu.
Calculated in AD, the birth years of the two sons and daughters are 193, 196, 199 and 202 AD respectively.
It is now 207 AD.
The eldest son Chen Xiyu is 14 years old this year, and the eldest daughter Chen Xiyu is only 11 years old this year. Liu Bei's eldest son Liu Feng was born in 185 and is 22 years old this year, 11 years older than Chen Xiyu. Liu Bei forced him to get engaged.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As a result, Liu Feng has not yet married a wife and has children, which makes it difficult for his apprentice.
And Cao Jie happens to be 15 years old this year, which is the right age for marriage. Marrying Cao Jie to Liu Feng kills two birds with one stone. Taking over the old members of the Cao family can also stabilize the harem, killing two birds with one stone.
It is worth mentioning that.
Among the many generals who followed Liu Bei in the early days, Dian Wei was the first to get married. He had three sons, Dian Man, Dian Chong, and Dian Meng, and four daughters.
Taishi Ci secretly married Dong Zhuo's daughter Dong Bai, changed her name, and gave birth to several children.
There are also many children of Jushu, Tian Feng, Xun Yu, Xun You and others.
The children of these people currently form the top second-generation circle in the entire Han Dynasty, with different ages, but they are often digested internally.
For example, Juhu, the son of Jushu, married Dianwei's daughter, and Tianfeng's daughter married Xunyou's eldest son, Xunji.
They were among the first batch to follow Liu Bei. If Guan, Zhang and Chen were not included, Dianwei, Taishici and Jushu were the oldest. Xunyu, Tianfeng and Xunyou were less senior, and they only joined during Dong Zhuo's rebellion.
.
As for Zhang Liao, Gaoshun, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Zang Ba, etc., their qualifications are almost the same, basically before and after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, so their children are almost the top second-generation figures in the Han Dynasty.
Although there are some playboys in the second generation, Liu Bei attaches great importance to the education of his noble children who have followed him to success, so he often advises everyone to pay attention to their children at all times and not to go astray.
Ju Shu Tian Feng Xun Yu Xun You He is not worried. What he is worried about is the children of the military generals. None of them can read or practice calligraphy, and they are idle and doing evil all day long.
What if something big happens and a serious crime is committed.
If you punish me, you will hurt your ministers' feelings. If you don't punish me, how can you maintain the legal system?
Therefore, instead of being in a dilemma, it is better to make three chapters of the law and establish the rules in advance to avoid embarrassment to the emperor and his ministers in the future.
