Chapter 146 Collection of jokes
Meng Xin was surprised.
It turns out that no matter men and women or orientation, they will be interested in the great beauties from ancient times to the present.
Cao Cao in history likes to collect beautiful women.
In addition to the heroic status, Cao Cao also had two dreams about women.
First, the two Qiaos in the south.
Second, the northern Zengji.
Cao Cao's dream will not end because the beauty becomes a wife.
He will continue to collect whether he is a wife or not.
There is a passage in "New Words of the World": [Wi Zhen was so beautiful and was very fond of Yuan Xi's wife. He was very favored. When Cao Gong slaughtered Ye, he ordered Zhen to summon him to the left and right: "The Five-Secret Lang is about to leave." The Duke said: "This year he defeated the thief and became a slave."]
"New Words on the World" is not a formal history, but a collective notes-style novel. In modern times, it is a [Collection of Jokes].
But all kinds of historical data show that Cao Cao is lustful and especially likes his wife.
In "New Words on the World", this joke about Zeng Ji is about Cao Cao's attack on Yecheng and urgently ordered Zeng Ji to be summoned.
This was what Cao Cao had asked about before he attacked Yecheng.
Yuan Xi’s wife is in the city.
The last sentence of this passage [This year, the thief is a slave], this slave refers to Zeng Ji.
According to the joke in "The New Tales of the World", Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao for Yuan Xi's wife Zeng.
This joke also said that Cao Cao was eager to call Zeng Ji but was taken a step ahead by the General of the Martial Arts.
The General of the Five-Secret Guardian was in charge of the palace protection. Cao Pi's position before he ascended the throne was the General of the Five-Secret Guardian.
Although Cao Cao was lustful, he was still a hero, and he could not do anything like Tang Xuanzong Li Longji who forced his son and daughter-in-law to rob him.
The son took the lead and took Zeng Ji away, so Cao Cao gave the beauty that he could get to his eldest son.
It is hard to say what reason Cao Pi married Zeng.
The only thing that is certain is that Zeng Ji played a great role in Cao Pi's battle for the throne.
Cao Cao likes the beautiful Zeng family. Even if he becomes his daughter-in-law, this love will still be there.
This makes the relationship between Zeng and her parents-in-law extremely harmonious.
To a certain extent, Zeng Ji brought great help to Cao Pi's successful battle for the throne.
Cao Pi’s feelings for Zeng Ji were very complicated.
When Zeng Ji was young, a prime minister said that she was so noble that she would definitely be in the world in the future.
It has a bit of a meaning of [those who get this woman wins the world].
It was precisely because of this that Yuan Shao asked his second son to marry Zeng Ji early.
Cao Pi forced the Zeng family to accept the words of the prime minister before his father. It is hard to say whether it was because of this sentence from the prime minister.
From a historical perspective, this plot is a bit bloody.
When Cao Pi robbed Zeng as his wife, he had already married Ren, a woman from a large clan.
I don’t know if it was for the Zeng family or the Taoist priest’s words, Cao Pi left the original wife regardless of the matter.
Even if Zeng advised him not to divorce his wife, it would be useless.
According to historical records, it is a strange thing to say that Cao Pi and the Zeng family are in love and harmony.
You know, when Cao Pi forced his marriage to the Zong family, Yuan Xi was still alive.
Yuan Xi also favored the Zong family very much.
Under such circumstances, the Zeng family was able to be in love with Cao Pi for more than ten years and gave birth to a son Cao Rui and a daughter Cao Ling.
Perhaps it was the beauties of that era who had unique insights into love.
...
"What does Mr. Nie want to discuss?" Meng Xinzhi took on the topic of Nie Guangyi.
"If I remember correctly, Zeng was sentenced to death by Cao Pi, right?"
"Yes, and it was unjustly killed." Meng Xinzhi said, "It is a false crime."
"Is there any falsehood? How do I remember that she wrote a Yuefu poem "Tang Shangxing" that angered Cao Pi."
"Whether "The Walk on the Tang" was written by Sister Zeng Ji, it is still doubtful in history."
"Then did you ask in your dream?"
"Yes, in my dream, Sister Zhen Ji said that this poem was indeed written by her."
"The Tang Shangxing belongs to "Xianghe Song·Qing Tunes". As an ancient Yuefu lyrics, it can be sung with music. Has the girl ever heard Mrs. Zeng sing in her dream? I have always wanted to restore this ancient tune." Nie Guangyi's topic began to deepen slowly.
"No, I have only watched Sister Zeng Ji dance, and I haven't heard her sing yet. Instead, Mona Lisa and Da Vinci have natural voices."
"When that girl dreams next time, can she ask Mrs. Zeng to sing "Tang Shang" to you and then sing it to me?" Nie Guangyi made a request.
"Sorry, Mr. Nie, I can't dominate what kind of questions I ask in my dream."
"Don't you think about it every day and dream about it at night? You think about how "The Walk on the Pond" is sung a few times on weekdays, and you can hear it when you dream."
"Okay, I'll try hard." Meng Xinzhi was not disgusted with this proposal.
Meng Xinzhi's approval made Nie Guangyi's poem profusely and began to recite "Tang Shangxing" directly: "[The pupai was born in my pond, how could his leaves be separated? Nothing can be separated by benevolence and righteousness. Everyone's mouths melt gold, so that you can be separated by separation. When I miss you, I am sad and sad. I want to see you, and I feel sad. I miss you, and I can't sleep every night.]"
After discussing the meaning of Mengxin and the clan, I naturally began to interpret: "Patsula grows over the pond and leaves are layered. It is better to have self-knowledge than to rely on your magnanimity and integrity. Rumors make you leave me. When I think of you, I feel sad alone. I want to see you, which makes me feel depressed and unable to sleep at night."
"If this Yuefu poem is really a work by Mrs. Zeng, it would be quite interesting." Nie Guangyi commented.
"Where is interesting?" Meng Xinzhi asked.
"The beginning of this poem is that it was abandoned and passed through the pond. When the lotus leaves in the pond are lush, it is revealed. Cao Zhi also had similar statements about writing "Guanzeng Fu". "Nie Guangyi asked, "Why did people at that time have to sing before writing anything?"
"This is really interesting. When I go back, I will carefully study and classify it to see how many ancient Yuefu poems have similar explanations at the beginning."
"The girl is a particular person." Nie Guangyi gave Meng Xinzhi a strange praise, and said, "When the girl's explanation is all a lyrical poem, how could Mrs. Zeng anger Cao Pi for such a poem?"
"I remember what I just said was a false charge, and Mr. Nie said it because of "Tang Shangxing".
"Oh, right!" Nie Guangyi was a little confused in the process of pretending not to understand.
He thought about it and started to make up for it: "The first half of this Yuefu poem is actually fine, mainly in the second half, [Don't give up the love of the whole country because of the tycoons and sausages? Don't give up the fish and meat, don't give up the onion and scallion? Don't give up the sucrose and kuai? If you leave, you will be bitter and resentful, and you will be sad and sad. There are so many sad winds in the border areas, so why are the trees scattered? I will be happy and prolong my life for thousands of years.] It is somewhat preaching."
"Well, women were still humble in that era. Even if a peerless beauty like Sister Zeng Ji was abandoned after she fell out of favor and was abandoned, she would only say that she was making money by everyone. Not only did she not resent the person who abandoned her, she also missed her day and night."
"If this poem was really written by Mrs. Zeng, according to the timeline of history, she is already at the age of a beauty. It is normal for Mrs. Zeng to become older and fall out of favor in front of the emperor."
Meng Xinzhi glanced at Nie Guangyi: "This statement is very consistent with Mr. Nie's personality."
"My character? What is my character?" Nie Guangyi never thought that he was already a person with a person in Mengxinzhi.
"It was my father who told me. He said that once, you drank too much and spoke the truth after drinking, saying that you didn't want any stable relationship. Only by showing mercy everywhere is the real fragrance."
Meng Xinzhi automatically ignored the first two words [Male-female relationship] in Nie Guangyi's original words.
In Meng Xinzhi's opinion, this must be a mistaken addition when my father didn't understand the situation before.
"Miss Meng, there is no scientific basis for saying words like "speaking truth after drinking". If you are so rigorous about academics, you can study them carefully, and it will definitely be falsified."
“This doesn’t matter.”
"How come it doesn't matter? It's very important! If you are interested, we can study this topic together."
Meng Xinzhi didn't think this was a good suggestion. She chose to bring the topic back.
"Whether this Yuefu poem was written by Sister Zeng Ji, it remains to be verified. From a historical perspective, it is a situation where it cannot be verified or confirmed. As an emperor, Cao Pi wanted to get rid of his queen, whether he had this song "Tang Shangxing" was the same."
"This is true. Zeng was unjustly killed in history, and Cao Pi was also very clear about this fact. When Zeng was buried, he was covered with his face and blocked his mouth with bran in order to prevent Zeng from seeking justice in the underworld."
"Indeed." Meng Xinzhi agreed, "the use of hair to cover her face is to prevent Sister Zeng Ji from showing her true face and blocking her mouth with bran, so that she cannot tell her own grievances."
"Does the girl find it strange?"
"What part does Mr. Nie mean?"
"Since Cao Pi died unjustly, and because she was old and had no feelings, why did she have to be the crown prince of Cao Rui, the son of Zeng Ji, who was born?"
"My sister Zeng Ji and I were in a dream, so we only discussed love and Cao Zhi."
"What the girl means is the person Mrs. Zeng really loves Cao Zhi?"
"There is no clear record in history books on what the relationship between Cao Zhi and Zeng Ji is."
"What I asked was not a history book, but a girl's dream." Nie Guangyi further expressed his opinion, "The "Guanzeng Fu" was written in the third year of Huang Chu, that is, the second year after Mrs. Zeng was sentenced to death. According to the opening of "Guanzeng Fu", Cao Zhi was recruited to Beijing and on the way back to his fiefdom, Juancheng, and passed the "Guanzeng Fu" written by Luoshui. Cao Zhi was demoted at that time and was in danger of peace. His good friends Ding Yi and Ding Yi were also killed by Cao Pi. That's the situation, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Nie."
"In that case, how dare Cao Zhi write such a fu, how dare he covet his sister-in-law? The most important thing is that he has passed away, which is obviously not worth the loss! For this reason, I prefer that the "Fu of Goddess of Luo" is that people and God are not allowed to love."
"Mr. Nie's suspicion makes sense. Who is Cao Zhi's "The Goddess of Luo River" written in history has always been controversial."
