Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 1973 Poetry in Seven Steps
Everyone in the world has heard that Jin Emperor Li Xiang was known as a womanizer.

In fact, it is no longer a rumor, but has become the consensus of the world.

If a woman can solve the problem, just like Li Xiang and Wang Meng think it is a huge profit, people like Cao will certainly think it is a huge profit.

What, you said Du is Cao Cao’s concubine?
So what does that matter?
Concubine, what status do you think they have?Not the main wife!
Even Du's concubine is not considered a concubine, but just a concubine, with a lower status than a concubine.

The difference in status between wives and concubines begins to appear when they get married.As the saying goes, marrying a wife and buying concubines means that in ancient times, marrying a wife was considered as the main wife. Not only did one have to be well-matched, but one also had to go through three matchmakers and six betrothals, so that the matchmaker could marry him.

Buying a concubine is different. Buying and selling a concubine is equivalent to buying and selling goods. Whether you marry a wife or buy a concubine, you need to pay a certain amount of financial resources. The difference is that what is given when marrying a wife is called a betrothal gift, while what is given when taking a concubine is called a betrothal gift. It is called the money to buy a concubine.

At the same time, the wedding of a concubine is simpler than that of a wife. What's more, she can just carry a little girl into the house and it's done.During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the custom of exchanging concubines and giving concubines as gifts was once popular.In the late Qing Dynasty, giving away beautiful concubines was a common method for officials to gain traction and make friends with their superiors; during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was even an industry chain specializing in training, buying and selling concubines.

The most famous one is "Yangzhou Skinny Horse". "Skinny horse" refers to a girl from a poor family who is bought by traffickers when she is seven or eight years old, raised and then sold at a high price. This is similar to the business where businessmen buy thin horses at a low price, fatten them up and then sell them at a high price. Same way.Therefore, these women are called "thin horses".Yangzhou has formed an industry chain specifically for raising women to serve as concubines, commonly known as "raising thin horses".

The family status of the concubine is also quite humble, and it is normal for the concubine not to be included in the family tree.Even if the concubine gave birth to an heir, it would only be recorded as "outside the stepmother's eyes".Not only did concubines have no right to participate in the important affairs of family sacrifices, but even the children they gave birth to could only call their biological mother "aunt."And the first wife is called "mother".

In fact, concubines like Du's were not included in the escape at the beginning. After all, Cao Chun and the others were trying to break out of the encirclement, so why did they bring so many burdens?
It was Cao Pi who was thoughtful and secretly brought out several of Cao Cao's concubines without telling everyone, especially the Du family who was born and registered in the same state.All it took was one day like this.

In terms of deep thinking, the old Cao family can be regarded as a descendant.

Facing the bold and charming eyes of the Du family, Li Xiang couldn't help but curve his lips. After accepting the greetings of everyone from the Cao family, he strode towards the Cao family's mansion.

This was once the residence of a member of the Imperial Party, but after Li Xiang's fishing and law enforcement was eliminated, this residence was vacated and given to the Cao clan as their resettlement place.

The Bian sisters led the way. In terms of appearance alone, they were inferior to the Du sisters.Especially Bian, as the elder sister, is the mother of several children.

However, in Li Xiang's eyes, these two gave him a much greater desire to conquer than Du Shi.It is said that Cao Cao liked his wife the most during his lifetime. Li Xiang was more than happy with her. Although he was not as persistent in pursuing her as Cao Cao, he was still very happy with her.

As for Li Xiang, he is not interested in ordinary wives. He said that the only ones he is interested in are the wives and concubines of his current enemies!

A man’s wife should be another man’s wife!

Withdrawing his gaze, Li Xiang entered the main hall under the leadership of Bian, sitting high above the main seat. In the hall, there were only a few more important descendants of the Cao family or Xiahou family.

"When I was in Luoyang, I often heard about the name of Cao Zijian in the Central Plains. There are only one stone in the world, and Cao Zijian alone won eight fights!" Looking past Cao Pi and looking at Cao Zhi behind him, who had an unnatural look on his face, Li Xiang said with a smile on his lips.

He wanted to keep Cao Zhi on purpose. He had to take a look at Cao Zhi and Cao Pi after all!Li Xiang has to see for himself who will be the head of the Cao family between these two people before he can make a decision!Many of the Cao family's children died in battle at the hands of the Jin army, but Cao Pi seemed indifferent. This man had a deep mind and his emotions and anger were always invisible, but Cao Zhi was far inferior in this regard.

Cao Zhi didn't even notice that Li Xiang had been observing him.Li Xiang had already discovered that when this kid glanced at him inadvertently, there was a hint of resentment in his eyes.

Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and the seven sons of Jian'an, Kong Rong, Chen Lin, Wang Can, Xu Qian, Ruan Yu, Ying Jue, and Liu Zhen, are known as representatives of Jian'an literature.

Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu" is an eternal masterpiece.

Talented and talented, describes Cao Zhi of the Three Kingdoms.

Cao Zhi, he may be a good poet, but that's all.Being a good poet does not mean that you can become a good official, and it does not mean that you can become a good monarch.

"Your Majesty has given you too much praise, but it is just a false reputation and cannot be taken seriously!" Cao Zhi couldn't tell the intention behind Li Xiang's words for a while, so he could only reply humbly.

"Since Zijian is so talented, let me have a look at Zijian's literary talent. Ask Zijian to compose a poem within seven steps. If successful, I will reward you greatly." Li Xiang stared at Cao Zhi. .

Cao Pi is a poisonous snake. It is not necessarily a good thing for the Cao family to have such a person to decide the future. At first, Li Xiang originally wanted to support Cao Zhi, who was relatively mediocre in this regard.

But it was only after he met these two people that he realized that he was completely wrong.

Even though Cao Pi was a poisonous snake, he was a smart man and he knew what to do when.As long as Li Xiang remains strong enough and does not let Cao Pi see any opportunities, Cao Pi will not have any unnecessary thoughts.

And once Li Xiang becomes weak one day and allows others to see the opportunity, I am afraid that Cao Pi will be just one of the ghosts and snake gods that will emerge at that time.

As for Cao Zhi, the literati were indeed simpler in some aspects.At the very least, it would be idiotic for people to still dwell on those hatreds under the roof.

Even though the Cao family has been divided and drawn together a lot, the Xiahou family of the Cao family still has a large number of members of the same family, as well as You Liang, Le Jin, Xu Long, Xu Feng, etc. who are closely attached to them. If Cao Zhi does As the head of the Cao family, this person might become a knife in the hands of some thoughtful people!

To put it bluntly, it is difficult for others to fool Cao Pi, but it does not necessarily mean that they cannot fool Cao Zhi!
Everyone in the Cao family looked at Li Xiang and Cao Zhi in panic, wondering why Cao Zhi offended Li Xiang as soon as he came up!Perhaps only Cao Pi is in the minority, and there are some speculations.

In the beginning, Cao Pi actually didn't want Cao Zhi to stay in the lobby. Cao Zhi had not yet learned to keep his emotions secret, and could not completely hide his emotions.But Li Xiang spoke, and Cao Zhi could only stay here.
