    Cao Cao's high-profile return was like a needle that calmed the sea, shocking the turbulent situation in Xuchang City. With the backbone of the army and the people, they breathed a sigh of relief and continued to live their own peaceful lives. In their view, as long as  As long as the Prime Minister is here, the sky will not fall down!

    Others were relieved, but Xiao Yi's heart was still high. He knew how weak this 'Dinghaishen Needle' was now. If a lawless 'monkey' appeared at this time, it would really turn the world upside down and make a big fuss.  Heavenly Palace For safety reasons, Xiao Yi and Guo Jia did not go home, but lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion, guarding Cao Cao day and night, just in case something unexpected happened!

    At the same time, Xuchang's internal and external garrisons also began to mobilize frequently. The Xuanjia cavalry took over the defense of the four city gates, and occupied strategic locations such as the arsenal, foreign offices, provincial centers and implemented military control!

    Cao Cao's pro-army "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry" were also dispatched to protect the three floors inside and outside the Prime Minister's Palace, and surrounded the inner courtyard of the palace, prohibiting foreign ministers from entering, and isolating the young emperor from the ministers to prevent some people from borrowing money.  Making trouble in the name of the emperor!

    The situation is under control and people's hearts are stable. Next, there is still one major matter that needs to be dealt with ~ mourning for the eldest son Cao Ang!

    The biggest loss in Wancheng's defeat this time was not the loss of tens of thousands of troops, nor the loss of Cao's reputation as an undefeated army. Those things can be made up for by regrouping and winning a few more beautiful battles, or even go one step further.  Floors!

    However, lost land can be regained, but people cannot be resurrected after death. The eldest son Cao Ang died, and Cao Cao's designated heir was gone. This is the biggest loss for the Cao Ying Group, and it may even trigger a fight for the heir, causing serious internal strife. Of course,  Well, those are all things for later. The most urgent task is to save the soul of the eldest son first and let him rest in peace as soon as possible!

    According to the ancient system, the funeral should last for seven or forty-nine days, and then he was buried in a rich burial. In order to flatter him, some courtiers proposed to bury the eldest son with the rites of a prince. The scale must be as large as possible, and the noise must be as grand as possible. In this way, no one will be buried.  After a year and a half, there is no hope that it will be over. As for the human, material and financial resources required for manuscript fees, they are countless!

    Cao Cao was deeply saddened by the death of his beloved son, but he still showed the true qualities of an excellent politician on this issue, refuting the opinions of his ministers, and then issued a Jun order: "The world has not yet been stabilized, and ancient rituals have not been followed.  Also, the coffin should be held for three days and then buried. After the burial, everyone should take off their mourning clothes. All ministries and generals are not allowed to transfer without authorization. Civil and military officials should perform their duties. In short, everything should be kept simple!"

    This order was made by Cao Cao after consultation with Xiao Yi and Guo Jia. They all knew very well that the top priority was to stabilize the situation first. Although the court was temporarily stable, the princes were ready to make moves, especially Yuan Shao of Hebei.  After the news of the Battle of the City, I prepared to add insult to injury and frequently mobilized troops and horses. The intention of the southern invasion was very obvious. Instead of wasting a lot of manpower and material resources on funerals, it was more practical to use them to train soldiers and horses, accumulate grass and store grain, and live.  , after all, it is more important than the dead!

    All funerals were simplified, but the grief in people's hearts did not diminish. On the day of memorial, the prime minister's body turned into a sea of ??white. There were white cloths, white sails, white flags, white lights everywhere even the utensils, furniture, and trees in the mansion.  , wells, were all covered with white cloth, and all the Cao clan members were in mourning, crying bitterly!

    Cao Ang's body was placed in the middle of the lobby, using the same mahogany coffin. The weather was hot in September. In order to prevent the body from rotting, a large number of ice cubes were placed around it. As for the coffin, there were only a few utensils that Cao Ang liked during his lifetime, and a  Apart from the sword, there was nothing else, and the burial objects were extremely rare!

    During the Qin and Han Dynasties, people always advocated generous burials. They believed that after death, the soul is immortal, and one should treat death as if he were alive. All the wealth the deceased had during his lifetime should be taken away, including gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and even concubines, servants, and maids.  Kill and bury, only in this way can the deceased continue to enjoy glory and wealth in another world!

    If it were a peaceful and prosperous age, this would be a little wasteful and cruel, and people could barely bear it, but now it is a troubled time with wars everywhere. The Han Dynasty's century-old savings have been destroyed by the war, and the people are even more devastated and have no food.  They don't have enough to eat, and they have to bury their money in the ground. There are not many living people, and if they are killed and buried, it will do a lot of harm to the country and the people, but not a single benefit!

    In this regard, Prime Minister Cao Cao also issued repeated orders, asking for a thin burial and for the dead to rest in peace. Three feet of loess is enough to accommodate them. Living people are the most important. It makes me feel distressed to see so many belongings taken underground or burned with fire.  !

    "It's a pity that the order of light burial has been issued long ago, but few officials and people obeyed it. At this time, people pay attention to loyalty, filial piety and benevolence. When a loved one dies, in order to express their infinite sorrow,?, the funeral must be held in a grand manner, with as many burial objects as possible. Even if the family can hardly open the pot, they still have to spend the last bit of money and food to buy a good coffin. After the deceased is buried, the remaining people will be  There is no need to go home, they will all starve to death in the cemetery. If the hole is dug bigger, the whole family can take a nap together!

    It is easy to change the throne, but it is difficult to change the people's customs. In contrast, even a powerful person like Cao Cao has no way. This time, I used my son's funeral to set an example for everyone in the world to see. Even the eldest son of the prime minister's family was buried lightly.  Yes, who of you will dare to give a grand burial in the future?

    Therefore, there were very few burial objects in Cao Ang's coffin. The cemetery was also chosen in a barren area outside Xuchang City. It was not allowed to seize private cultivated land, and it was not sealed or planted. It was just a small mound, and it was enough to erect a monument.  , it can be regarded as the last contribution this eldest son made to the world!

    Of course, another consideration for Cao Cao's choice to bury his son sparingly was that he was afraid of people robbing the tomb. In troubled times, wars broke out everywhere, and there were countless tomb robbers. Even when Cao Cao was in Yanzhou, he obtained countless treasures by robbing royal tombs.  , Only in this way can we support the soldiers and civilians under our command!

    Huangshu has now been promoted to the title of "Faqiu Zhonglang General" and leads the "Digging Army" to various places, exploring ancient tombs and discovering gold and silver treasures. Today, at least 30% of the annual income in the treasury is contributed by these guys.  , supporting the army and the people, helping each other greatly!

    Although Xiao Yi had issued strict orders, warning Huang Shu and others to only take gold and silver treasures, and not to destroy the tombs, let alone the body of the deceased, doing so would disturb the sleep of the deceased, which is a great disrespect!

    Cao Cao ordered his beloved son to be buried sparingly, and specifically asked not to put any gold or silver into the burial ground. This was also for safety reasons. Without money, there would be no tomb robbers. Even if one day the Cao family's power no longer exists, Cao Ang could still be buried underground.  Sleeping peacefully in the world can be regarded as a special kind of fatherly love for Cao Cao. If he can't give you this country, then let you sleep peacefully!

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "After finishing the ceremony, Minister Pushe came to pay homage to the eldest son!

    "General Chariot and Cavalry - Dong Cheng, come to pay homage to the eldest son!"

    "Attendant, in the prince's uniform, come to pay homage to the eldest son!"

    "Changshui Xiaowei's Collection"

    After the memorial ceremony began, all the civil and military officials of the DPRK came to pay their respects. They were all wearing manuscripts and looking sad. Before they even entered the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion, they started to cry loudly. It was really heartbreaking and heartbreaking.  , as if the deceased were their relatives!

    Everyone understands that crying to the dead is for the living. Even though these guys are crying with tears streaming down their faces, they are so happy in their hearts. Of course, if Cao Cao is lying in the coffin now, they will be even more excited.  I'm happy, if that were the case, they would still come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but not to offer incense and worship, but to bring soldiers and horses to kill the Cao family!

    Swords hidden in smiles and intrigues are the rules of survival in the court. Unfortunately, Cao Cao is not dead, so some people may not live long. With the character of this traitor, countless people will definitely go down to accompany their sons, so that Cao Ang will not be lonely.  lonely!

    Cao Cao was sitting next to the coffin, with no joy or sorrow on his face, and said nothing. After people came to pay their respects, brothers Cao Pi and Cao Zhi returned the gifts on their behalf. Although they were young, their etiquette was very thoughtful and their words were appropriate.  Those who secretly wanted to see a joke trembled in their hearts. All the Cao family members were outstanding. Although the eldest son was gone, the others should not be underestimated!

    In addition, there is another important person who did not appear, that is, Cao Cao's eldest lady Ding. After hearing the news of Cao Ang's death, the eldest lady was so furious that she vomited blood and fell into a coma on the spot. Although she was rescued, she remained on the hospital bed overnight.  He was so haggard!

    ??Everyone with a discerning eye knows that the eldest son is dead and the eldest lady is seriously ill. There may be some civil strife in the prime minister's house!

    Xiao Yi also changed his clothes and worshiped with the Cao clan. Cao Jie was kneeling next to him. The little girl cried so hard that her eyes were swollen into peaches. Xiao Yi had no choice but to hold her little hand.  , comforted in a low voice, "Don't be sad, I have everything with you!"

    The worship ceremony was in progress, and the guards in front of the mansion suddenly flew in and reported "The eldest princess of the Han Dynasty is a thousand years old. She is visiting the Prime Minister's Mansion to pay homage to the eldest son!"

    "Wow!Princess Haiyan is here?" Everyone in the hall suddenly burst into uproar. Even Xiao Yi was quite shocked. The expression on Xiao Hei's face changed several times, "It's unpredictable. What is she doing here?" (Remember this book)  Website address: www.hlnovel.com
