Cao Rui was building Lingxiao Tower, a magpie built a nest on it, so he asked Gaotanglong why this was the case.
Gao Tanglong said: "The Book of Songs says: 'Magpies build nests and doves live there.' Now that palaces are being built and mausoleums are built, magpies build nests. This is a sign that the palace has not been completed and His Majesty cannot live in it. Celestial phenomena It seems to be saying that before the palace is built, people with different surnames will live in it. This is God's warning to you. Heaven is the most selfless and only associates with good people, so you must be on guard and reflect deeply. At the end of the Shang Dynasty, the emperors all succeeded to the throne, but they did not listen respectfully to God's instructions, only listened to flattery, followed their own desires, and did not cultivate virtue, so the country soon perished. If you feel fear, quickly listen to God's advice, so you can prosper and grow quickly. If you stop all kinds of labor, advocate frugality, implement virtuous governance, follow the emperor's etiquette everywhere, and eliminate major troubles in the world for the benefit of the people, then you can As a great emperor after Three Emperors and Five Emperors , how can King Yin compare with you in turning disaster into blessing? As your confidant, if I can assist the emperor and protect the country, I will not hesitate to die. How can you be so afraid of causing trouble that you just ignore it and prevent your majesty from hearing your sincere advice?"
Cao Rui couldn't help but be moved after hearing this.
This year, there is a comet that looks particularly bright in the center of the atrium and the tail of the three constellations.
Gao Tanglong took the opportunity to write a letter and said: "Whenever an emperor moves his capital to a city, he first determines the location of the heaven, earth, and country, and serves it respectfully. Whenever a palace is built, the ancestral temple should be the first, followed by the chariot and horse warehouses and granaries, and finally the palace. Nowadays, the Yuanqiu, Fangze, northern and southern suburbs, Mingtang, Sheji, and divine thrones have not yet been determined. The ancestral temple system has not been implemented according to etiquette. However, the palaces have been repaired, allowing officials to give up their daily business, farmers to give up farming, and the harem. The cost is roughly the same as the cost of raising troops. The people are miserable and full of resentment. "Shangshu" says: "The reason why the sky is wise is that all the people are smart, and the reason why the sky is bright and fearful is because the people also know the majesty." The five kinds of blessings, the people's anger, and the six kinds of evils and threats from heaven mean that God's rewards and punishments are in line with the people's hearts and minds. Therefore, when in power, one should first appease the people, and then follow ancient teachings. This is the emperor. This is the principle followed by all officials and the common people from ancient times to the present. Low palaces were built with uncut oak wood as beams. This was why Tang Yao, Yu Shun and Dayu were favored. Later generations built the Yutai Qiong Palace, Xia Gui, and Shang Xin offended God. Today's palace specifications have already violated the etiquette system, and the Jiuhua Palace is also built, which is unprecedented. It shines from time to time, attacking the emperor's constellations and approaching the purple star. This is a sign that God loves your majesty and gives you an admonishment. Always stay in the throne, be diligent and solemn, and want to move your majesty. This is a sincere admonition like a loving father. . We should follow the etiquette of a filial son and tell the world clearly to set an example for future generations. We should not be negligent and offend God's will."
Gao Tanglong gave his sincere advice many times, and Cao Rui became a little unhappy.
Attendant Lu Yu ( Lu Zhi's son) further said: "I heard that if the king is wise, his ministers will be upright. The ancient sage kings were afraid that they would not hear their own faults. This is where we fall short of Gao Tanglong."
Cao Rui's anger finally dissipated.
At that time, there were many conquests in the country, and the criminal law was also very harsh.
Gao Tanglong wrote in a letter: "To expand territory and inherit the imperial line, we must wait for a wise king to implement it. To assist the emperor and rectify the faults, we must have virtuous ministers. In this way, the country can be peaceful and the people are safe. Anyone who changes customs and promotes enlightenment and enlightenment , in order to make the world unite, surrender inwards, pay attention to morality, and make those ethnic minorities aspire to morality. This is not what ordinary officials can do. Today's officials only know how to study criminal books and do not seek the road to governing the country. , although severe punishments have been repeatedly used, they have no actual effect, and the world's morals are corrupt and there is no way to promote change.The top priority should be to promote etiquette and music, worship Mingtang, build Sanyong, Dashe, and provide care for the elderly, build suburban temples, respect Confucian scholars, recommend hermits, formulate various etiquette, revise Zhengshuo, change the color of court uniforms, and promote filial piety and brotherhood. Advocate frugality, then prepare etiquette and implement the Zen system. Give credit to heaven and earth, let the voice of praise spread throughout heaven and earth, and let future generations know the teachings of this dynasty. This is the best politics, and this is an immortal event! In this way, within the four seas, there is no need to use military force and can be ruled by surrender. What is there to worry about? If you don't try to correct the fundamentals, but just touch the details, it will be like a mess. All ministers and scribes should be taught Confucianism, and etiquette should be restored and made into a rule. "
Emperor Wei Ming Cao Rui had no sons, so he adopted Cao Fang and Cao Xun as his sons. The matter in the forbidden area of the palace was extremely secret, and no one knew their origins.
Some people say that Cao Fang was the son of Rencheng Cao Kai. .
On August 24, Cao Rui made the prince Cao Fang the king of Qi and Cao Xun the king of Qin.
Emperor Ming of Wei, Cao Rui, was harsh and impatient. He personally summoned those who supervised the construction of the palace and failed to complete it as scheduled.
The supervisors were often beheaded before they could say anything and had no time to reply.
Sanqi's regular servant and secretary supervisor Wang Su wrote: "Now the palace has not been completed, and there are already thirty to forty thousand people working on it. The Nine Dragon Hall can accommodate His Majesty in peace, and it is enough to accommodate the staff of the Sixth Palace. Only the project in front of Taiji Hall is relatively large. May Your Majesty appoint 10,000 able-bodied soldiers who are receiving national rations and currently have no urgent missions, and rotate them once a year. If everyone knows that there is a day for rest, they will be happy to work on the construction site, even though it is hard, and there will be no complaints. A total of 3.6 million workers a year is not a small number. What should be completed in one year may as well be completed in three years, and then dismiss the remaining migrant workers so that they can all go back to farming. This is a long-term solution. Winning the trust of the people is an important national treasure. In the past, His Majesty visited Luoyang and recruited people to build forts. The relevant departments ordered the migrant workers to go home after the forts were built. As a result, when the fortress was built, they took advantage of the people's labor and did not return it on time. Relevant departments only pursue immediate interests and ignore the overall governance of the country. I foolishly believe that from now on, if migrant workers are used again, the time limit should be clearly announced, and the use of migrant workers must abide by the time limit. If there is labor service again, it is better to re-levy it than to break one's promise. All those whom His Majesty imposed temporary punishment were guilty officials and people who deserved death. However, everyone did not know the details and said that it was done in a hurry. Therefore, I would like your Majesty to leave it to the officials in charge. The same is true of death. Don't let the blood of criminals pollute the palace and be suspected from far and near. Moreover, human life is very important. It is easy to kill but difficult to revive. Once the breath is extinguished, it is impossible to continue, so the saints attach great importance to this. In the past, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty wanted to kill anyone who offended his emperor. Zhang Shizhi, the Tingwei official, said: "When the incident happened, the emperor sent people to kill him. Now that he has been handed over to Tingwei, he is the king of the world." The balance cannot be biased. ’ I think this is a complete loss of justice and is not what a loyal minister should say. Tingwei is also an official of the emperor, so he cannot lose his fairness, but the emperor can confuse mistakes? This is a person who values himself and despises the emperor. He is a seriously disloyal person and must be noticed. "
In October, Cao Rui adopted Gao Tanglong's suggestion and built a circle mound on Weisu Mountain in the south of Luoyang City. He issued an edict: "In the early years of the Han Dynasty, after the Qin Dynasty burned books and harassed Confucian scholars, incomplete materials were collected at that time. The lost documents were used to worship heaven and earth in the countryside. For more than four hundred years, these rituals have been abandoned and lost. There are descendants of the Yu family in the Cao family lineage. Today, sacrifices are made to the emperor in Yuanqiu to share the honor with the founder Yu and Shun. The place where the emperor and queen were worshiped in Fangqiu was shared with the Yi clan, the concubine of Shun. In the southern suburbs, worship the God of Emperor and Heaven, and share it with Emperor Wu. In the northern suburbs, worship the God of the Emperor and the Earth, and share it with Queen Wuxuan."
This year, Zhangye Liugu's mouth gushed out, revealing a piece of jade with a pattern in the shape of a turtle , standing on the water, with seven stone horses and phoenixes, unicorns , white tigers and sacrifices on it. The figures of ox, Huang, Bagua, stars, stars and comets are also marked with the words "Dachao Cao".
Cao Rui issued an edict to announce it to the world, which was considered auspicious.
Yu Chuo, the county magistrate, went with the edict and the jade pattern. Ask the hermit Zhang Zhen.
Zhang Zhen said mysteriously: "Because God knows the future and does not look back on the past, auspicious signs will appear first, and then they will rise and fall. Now that the Han Dynasty has been destroyed for a long time and Wei has conquered the world, how can it still be an auspicious omen for the rise of Wei? This piece of jade is a talisman that will mutate in today's world and predict the future. "
Zhang Chen (136-240), courtesy name Ziming, was a Julu native, a hermit, a musician, and was proficient in prophecy.
Zhang Chen was unwilling to be an official. The Eastern Han Dynasty Imperial Court, Yuan Shao , Cao Cao After being called up many times, he kept avoiding it.
Zhang Zhen lived to be 105 years old, and was the oldest person in the Three Kingdoms period.
Cao Rui sent people to Wu Kingdom to exchange horses for pearls, jade, and tortoise shells. etc.
Sun Quan said: "I don't use these things, but they can be used to buy horses. Why should I be stingy?" "
So, everything was changed to Lai Shi.
