Shi Huan pursued all the way until he reached a manor. Just when he rested, the scout in front reported: "The carriage has entered the manor."
Only then did Shi Huan feel relieved. This was indeed Mrs. Bian's manor. When they got here, it didn't look like they were trying to escape. He didn't dare to go in and search, and he didn't dare to go and greet Mrs. Bian like crazy, so he had to order his entourage to stay.
I found a nearby village to stay temporarily.
In the early morning of the second day, when the sky was dark, a group of Cao's troops came over, covering the sky and the sun. The leader was Cao Hong. Shi Huan quickly led his people to greet them.
Cao Hong asked: "Where is Dongwuhou?"
Shi Huan said: "Just in the manor."
Cao Hong felt relieved and said: "When Duke Cao heard that Marquis Dongwu had left the city, he asked me to bring troops and horses. Since they are at the manor, I can rest assured and immediately sent someone back to report." He paused and said:
"I went into the manor to have a look. Firstly, I paid a visit to Mrs. Bian, and secondly, I went to see if Marquis Dongwu was still there."
Cao Hong's status was different. Shi Huan was just a nobody, but Cao Hong was Cao Cao's younger brother. He had a legitimate excuse to visit Mrs. Bian. He led a group of servants into the manor, and the villagers immediately informed and saw Bian.
When Madam Bian came to see her, Cao Hong had put on a smiling face and said to Madam Bian: "Madam, Madam, you are doing well these days."
Mrs. Bian has a dignified face. Although she is middle-aged, her skin is as good as snow, and her eyes are like a pool of clear water. When she looks around, she has an elegant and noble temperament that makes people take pictures of her. She feels ashamed and dare not blaspheme.
She said with a sullen look on her face: "I don't care who ordered you, why are you persecuting my children? Are you bringing troops here to capture me?"
Mrs. Cao stood behind Mrs. Bian with an angry look on her face. Cao Hong felt bad and was afraid of offending his wife, so he quickly said: "Madam, please calm down. Both Marquis Dongwu and Mrs. Cao are noble people. How dare you persecute them?"
It’s just that they have just gotten married and I came here to protect their safety on the orders of Duke Cao.”
Cao asked: "To protect safety, can we also not allow people to leave the city and monitor them from the side?"
Cao Hong had no choice but to look around and said, "I wonder if Marquis Dongwu is here? Why don't you come out to meet him?"
Mrs. Bian sneered and said, "He went back to Xiapi last night, and you just come to ask now?"
Cao Hong was shocked and couldn't help but said: "Why don't you just leave without knowing how to speak?"
Mrs. Bian said: "He has already said hello to me, why should he inform you? Could it be that my son-in-law is leaving, and he also needs to inform you?".
Her tone softened a bit and she said, "Zilian, please sit down. I have something to tell you."
Cao Hong was already in a state of confusion. He knew that Mrs. Bian wanted to keep him and delay him, so he quickly said: "Madam, please rest first. I will come to visit you next time."
After saying that, he quickly exited the manor. Shi Huan came up to him and said, "General, what's the matter?"
Cao Hong's face was ashen and he said: "The Marquis of Dongwu has escaped. You should go back to the city to see my lord immediately. I will lead my troops to chase him eastward. I will never escape him."
Shi Huan listened to the order and immediately returned to the city to report.
……………………
But Cao Cao first heard that Gao Jin and the Cao family were leaving the city, so he sent Cao Hong to investigate. When Shi Huan came back, he found out that Gao Jin had escaped. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Bian Ming made a mistake."
After summoning Guo Jia, Xun Yu asked for advice: "Gao Jin has escaped, what can be done?"
Guo Jiadao said: "Don't be anxious, Mr. Cao. Gao Jin only has a few dozen followers. We can search all the cities in various states and we will definitely find his traces. Moreover, General Cao Gong has led two thousand cavalry to chase him, so he can't escape far."
Cao Cao nodded his head, his brows still not widened, and said: "Gao Jin suddenly fled. I am afraid that there have been changes in Xiapi City. Could it be that Lu Bu is dead?".
Guo Jiadao said: "It is very possible that Cao Gong could have made plans early. If Lu Bu died and Gao Jin no longer went to Xiapi, Lu Gu would definitely inherit his uncle's position. In this way, Gao Jin would have fled back to Xiapi at night to fight for military power.
It’s possible.”….
Xun Yu said: "On the one hand, we can immediately notify the various cities and towns to search for his traces. On the other hand, we can send a message to Liu Bei and Lu Gu, asking them to step up their defenses. Gao Jin and Liu Bei have turned against each other. If Liu Bei learns that he wants to pass through Pei State,
Going to Xiapi will inevitably block the main roads. Lu Gu and Gao Jin cannot tolerate two tigers on the same mountain. At this moment, they will also be prepared. Even if Gao Jin has three heads and six arms, he may not be able to accomplish anything."
Cao Cao nodded happily, but couldn't help but sigh: "I married my daughter to him, I'm afraid I missed a move, eh... I regret it too late, I regret it too late!"
Guo Jiadao: "Since Gao Jin has escaped, why not ask Mrs. Cao to remarry."
Since the Han Dynasty, the status of women has indeed been greatly improved. The biggest reason is the emergence of Empress Lu. Lu Pheasant was the first female to hold power. Compared with the later dynasties, the Han people at that time also treated Lu Pheasant's governance very little.
Treat him as a generation of emperors.
During the Han Dynasty, when the emperor was in power, many matters were still interfered by the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother Dou, the mother of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, initially forced Emperor Jing to pass the throne to the Liang Dynasty. Later, at the instigation of Princess Guantao, she deposed Liu Rong and established Liu Che as emperor.
Even Liu Che, the famous Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in history, ten years before he succeeded to the throne
In the novel, he was first controlled by his grandmother, the Queen Mother Dou, and then by his mother, the Queen Mother. This experience was something he would never forget, so he executed Mrs. Gou Yi before his death to prevent his son from growing stronger than his mother. Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty
It was his mother Wang Zhengjun who ended up ruining the country of Han Dynasty at the hands of his uncle Wang Mang.
After entering the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was the peak period of the mother-in-law's power. The empress dowagers who served in the government were: Empress Dowager Zhang Di, Empress Dowager Hexi and Deng, Empress Dowager An Siyan, Empress Dowager Shunlie Liang, Empress Dowager Huan Si Dou, and Empress Dowager Lingsi He.
.Especially famous for Deng Sui, the empress of Emperor He.
The status of women in the Han Dynasty was not only reflected in the Queen Mother's involvement in politics, but also in other aspects.
Such as in terms of titles. Even in the royal family, there are still a lot of habits of calling royal children by their mother's surname in history books. For example, the daughter of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Princess Guantao, was called "Mr. Dou" because of her biological mother, the Empress Dowager Dou.
"; Liu Rong, the eldest son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, was called "Prince Li" after his mother Li Ji; Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made Liu Ju the crown prince, and was called "Prince Wei" after his biological mother was Queen Wei Wei Zifu. Liu Ju's son
His son Liu Jin was also called "Sun Huangsun" after his biological mother Shi Liangdi; Princess Pingyang was called "Princess Sun" after her mother's surname. Liu Xie, the son of Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty, was later Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty. Because he was raised by Empress Dowager Dong personally, he was called "Princess Sun".
"Donghou"; the prince of Huainan was called "Prince Liao" after his mother's surname; Xiahou Po, the great-grandson of Xia Houying, the hero of Emperor Gaozu, married Princess Pingyang, who was called "Princess Sun", so that in later generations "their descendants became the Sun family".
In terms of titles, many women in the Han Dynasty were granted titles and titles. For example, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, made his brother-in-law and his wife the Marquis of Yin'an. When Empress Lu was in power, she made Mrs. Xiao He the Marquis of Fou, and Fan Kuai's wife Lu Yu
He was the Marquis of Linguang. During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, the princes, princes and women were given 2,000 households each. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also honored the queen's mother, Zang, as the Lord of Pingyuan.
The daughter of Queen Wang's ex-husband, Jin's daughter, was given the title of Tang Muyi. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty gave his maternal grandmother the title of Bopingjun, and the eleven thousand households in Boping and Liwu counties were named Tangmuyi. Wang Mang's mother gave the title of Gongxianjun. Wang Mang
He also suggested that the Queen Mother's sister Wang Junxia should be named Guangenjun, Wang Junli should be named Guanghuijun, and Wang Jun's younger brother should be named Guangshijun. They all live in Tangmuyi.
Therefore, the remarriage of women in the Han Dynasty was also different from that of later generations. Several empress dowagers appeared in the Han Dynasty, such as Bo Ji, the mother of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, and Wang Ji, the mother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. They all remarried and became the mother of the country in a grand and dignified manner. No one thought it was different. Women remarried three times.
, is also written in books. It is said that the person with the highest number of marriages is probably the wife of Prime Minister Chen Ping. Marrying Chen Ping is already her fifth marriage. This is also an example that surprises future generations.
Many of Cao Cao's wives remarried. At this time, Guo Jia proposed to order Cao to remarry, which did not violate any tradition. Since Gao Jin had fled, it would be better for Cao to remain a widow here.
Marry again.
Cao Cao nodded and said, "Is there anyone who can choose Fengxiao?"
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Why don't Mr. Cao call Mrs. Cao to ask her if she has anyone she likes?"
"Very good!" Cao Cao was annoyed that Mr. Bian and his daughter were leaning towards Gao Jin, and he was determined to cut off the relationship between his daughter and Gao Jin. He immediately called people: "Get the car ready and go to the manor outside the city."
