Changan.
The fourth prince, Jin Zhe, became more and more familiar with the current situation and different ideas began to emerge in his mind.
On this day, Cao Pi came to surrender, and Jin Zhe went out to greet him in person, completely unaware of how serious the problem was.
"Fourth Prince." Cao Pi said, "The Queen of Sinners, Cao Pi greets you."
Jin Zhe hurried forward to help Cao Pi up and said, "How can you call yourself that?"
Jin Zhe's eyes revealed some sincerity and emotion. He knew that although Cao Pi was burdened with the family's burden, his talent and ability should not be underestimated. In this chaotic world, every knowledgeable person may become the key to turning the tide. "Mr. Cao, the past is gone, there is no need to mention it. Our dynasty is eager to seek talents, regardless of their background, only their ability. Since you are willing to join us, you will be a great help to Chang'an."
After that, Jin Zhe led Cao Pi into the mansion, and they talked as they walked. From the general situation of the world to the concept of governing the country, the two had similar views, as if they had been like-minded old friends for a long time. Jin Zhe secretly calculated that if he could get Cao Pi's help, he could not only strengthen his think tank, but also establish a reputation for recruiting talents in the court, which would increase his bargaining chips for the future fight for the throne.
Cao Pi, looking at the young but shrewd prince in front of him, also had mixed feelings in his heart. He understood that his choice was related to the revival of his family and the turning point of his personal destiny. Under Jin Zhe's sincerity and trust, Cao Pi secretly vowed to do his best to help the fourth prince achieve hegemony, wash away the shame of his family, and revive the reputation of the Cao family.
As night fell, the two played chess in the study. The black and white pieces on the chessboard were like the various forces in this chaotic world, interweaving wisdom and power. Jin Zhe gently twisted a piece and said with a smile: "Chess is like life. One wrong move will lead to a complete loss. But in this chaotic world, there are often miracles of survival after risking one's life." Cao Pi heard this, his eyes flickered, as if he had realized something, and he made his moves more cautiously and decisively.
This night was not only a chess match, but also a collision of two ambitions, foreshadowing that in the days to come, they will work hand in hand to write a magnificent chapter in history.
The next morning, the sky was full of morning glow. The two stood side by side on the top of the city wall, looking at the endless mountains and winding rivers in the distance, with lofty ambitions in their hearts. Jin Zhe slowly spoke: "Fourth Prince, the general trend of the world is that after a long period of division, there will be unification, and after a long period of unification, there will be division. Now is the time for heroes to emerge. If you and I can seize the opportunity and win with wisdom, why worry about not achieving hegemony?"
Cao Pi tilted his head, his eyes firm, "Mr. Jin is right. Although I, Cao Pi, am not born to be an emperor, with you by my side, I am like a tiger with wings. I swear to wash away the shame of my family with my own hands; I will make the Cao family's reputation resound throughout the nine states!"
Afterwards, the two went deep into the military camp, inspected the soldiers and boosted their morale. Cao Pi treated them with kindness, while Jin Zhe assisted them with ingenious strategies, which greatly boosted the morale of the army. They knew that the real battlefield was not only on the battlefield, but also in the struggle for people's hearts and the contest of wisdom.
In the following days, Cao Pi and Jin Zhe worked together to plan a series of sophisticated strategic deployments, which not only consolidated the internal situation but also gradually weakened the hostile forces. They used espionage, conspiracy, alliance and other means to move towards the goal of hegemony step by step.
As time went by and the seasons changed, the friendship and cooperation between Cao Pi and Jin Zhe became deeper and deeper. They experienced countless life and death tests together, and each time they escaped danger, they strengthened their faith in each other. In this magnificent historical process, the name of the Cao family gradually rose from the abyss of shame and regained its dazzling light.
During this long journey, Cao Pi demonstrated extraordinary political wisdom and military talent. He knew that it was difficult to maintain long-term rule by force alone, so he vigorously promoted benevolent policies and recruited talents, which won the support of the people and boosted morale. Jin Zhe, with his profound strategic vision and keen insight, repeatedly put forward unique insights at critical moments, providing solid support for Cao Pi's decision-making. The two complemented each other, one civil and one military, like two swords combined, invincible.
As his power continued to expand, Cao Pi began to reform domestic affairs, strengthen centralization, and strengthen border defense to ensure peace on the border. He knew that the strength of a country lies not only in its vast territory, but also in its internal stability and prosperity. Jin Zhe was in charge of foreign affairs. Through his clever diplomatic skills, he established friendly relations with neighboring countries, which not only prevented foreign invasions, but also won more international support for Cao Pi's hegemony.
Under this series of internal and external strategies, Cao Pi's sphere of influence expanded rapidly and his influence grew day by day. Former enemies either surrendered or disappeared, and the names of Cao Pi and Jin Zhe became symbols of the legend of that era. They not only won the war, but also won the respect and love of the people, proving that true victory is not only the conquest of territory, but also the victory of people's hearts and wisdom.
With the consolidation and expansion of power, Cao Pi began to work on the dual construction of culture and economy. He knew that the prosperity of a country was inseparable from the prosperity of culture and economy. Therefore, he advocated literary and artistic creation, recruited talents, made the literary world flourish, and poems and essays were passed down, leaving a valuable cultural heritage for future generations. At the same time, he implemented a series of reform measures to reduce the burden on the people, encourage farming and trade, and make the domestic economy develop rapidly, the treasury full, and the people's living standards significantly improved. Jin Zhe's success in diplomacy also won a good external environment for Cao Pi's domestic construction. Through various forms such as trade and cultural exchanges, he deepened mutual understanding and friendship with various countries and paved a path of peaceful development for Cao Pi's hegemony. These efforts not only promoted the circulation of materials and the exchange of technology, but also established a positive image of openness, tolerance and peaceful development for Cao Pi's regime in the international community.
Against this backdrop, Cao Pi's reign became a golden age of both culture and economy. His ideas and practices in governing the country not only provided valuable reference for later emperors, but also profoundly influenced the development trajectory of the entire Chinese civilization. The names of Cao Pi and Jin Zhe were therefore forever engraved on the monument of history, becoming a model of both wisdom and benevolent governance.
In addition, Cao Pi also actively promoted the prosperity of domestic culture, advocated literary creation and art education, and made Jian'an literature reach a new peak in his era. He encouraged scholars to write books and recruit talents to the court. For a time, the literary world flourished and excellent works were produced frequently, leaving countless popular poems and works for future generations. In the economic field, Cao Pi implemented a series of policies that were beneficial to people's livelihood, such as reducing taxes, building water conservancy projects, and encouraging farming. These measures greatly improved people's living standards and enhanced the country's comprehensive strength.
At the same time, Cao Pi also paid attention to the construction of the legal system and implemented a series of legal reforms aimed at maintaining social stability and justice, making the Cao Wei regime more mature and complete in terms of law. These measures not only consolidated the centralization of power, but also laid the foundation for the later rule of law. In terms of military affairs, although Cao Pi mainly focused on peaceful diplomacy, he also made wise decisions. He ensured the tranquility of the border and the security of the country through reasonable strategic layout and military reorganization.
In summary, Cao Pi's rule not only marked the glory of an era, but also a shining pearl in the development of Chinese civilization. His wisdom in governing the country and his humanistic feelings, spanning thousands of years, still inspire future generations to continue to explore a more harmonious and prosperous development path.
In the economic field, Cao Pi implemented a series of policies that benefited the country and the people, such as reducing taxes, encouraging farming, and developing handicrafts and commerce. These measures greatly promoted the recovery and prosperity of the social economy. He attached importance to the construction of agricultural infrastructure, built water conservancy projects, improved the efficiency of farmland irrigation, and ensured the stable growth of grain production. At the same time, Cao Pi also advocated the opening of the market, allowing the free circulation of goods, and promoting the active commodity economy and the deepening of urban-rural exchanges. These economic reforms not only strengthened the country's economic strength, but also brought real improvements to the lives of the people and improved the overall welfare of society.
In terms of culture, Cao Pi himself was a monarch with profound literary attainments. He advocated literary creation, encouraged scholars to exchange ideas, promoted the further development of Jian'an literature, and left valuable wealth for Chinese literary history. With his support, many literary masterpieces came into being, enriching the connotation of Chinese culture. In addition, Cao Pi also focused on popularizing education and improving the cultural literacy of the people, sowing the seeds for the cultural prosperity of future generations.
Therefore, Cao Pi's way of governing the country is not only reflected in his achievements in politics and law, but also in his comprehensive and far-reaching concept of national governance. These achievements together built a regime that was both powerful and full of humanistic care, which had a profound impact on later generations and became an important reference and model for later emperors in governing the country.
It is worth mentioning that Cao Pi also showed extraordinary foresight in the fields of art and science and technology. He advocated the development of calligraphy and encouraged calligraphers to explore new styles, which accelerated the transition from official script to regular script during this period, laying a solid foundation for the development of calligraphy art in later generations. At the same time, Cao Pi had a strong interest in astronomy and calendar, and organized the revision of a more accurate calendar, which promoted the orderly progress of agricultural production activities and embodied the close integration of scientific spirit and agricultural practice.
In terms of military affairs, although Cao Pi inherited his father's career, he was not satisfied with the status quo. Instead, he continued to promote military system reform, strengthen the central government's control over the army, improve the army's combat effectiveness and mobility, and effectively maintain the country's unity and border security. He also advocated a policy of combining soldiers and farmers, which not only reduced the burden on the country, but also enhanced the people's sense of national identity, providing a strong guarantee for the country's long-term stability.
In addition, Cao Pi also set an example in personal morality and cultivation. He advocated frugality in governing the country and opposed extravagance and waste. He personally influenced the government and the people, forming a good social atmosphere. These actions and ideas of his went beyond the simple power struggle and territorial expansion, and more reflected his profound thinking on the long-term development of the country and the nation, leaving a valuable spiritual wealth for future generations.
To sum up, Cao Pi, with his comprehensive and profound ideas and practices on governing the country, not only consolidated the foundation of Cao Wei, but also made important contributions to the development and progress of ancient Chinese society. His influence transcends time and space and is still worthy of our in-depth study and reference.
On this basis, Cao Pi also focused on the development of cultural education, advocated Confucianism, and encouraged literary creation, which led to unprecedented prosperity of culture and art during the Cao Wei period. He personally participated in literary discussions and exchanged ideas with many literati, which promoted the diversification of literary styles and the deepening of literary theory. He left important literary criticism works such as "Classic Theory·On Essays" for future generations, which had a profound impact on the establishment of the literary criticism system in later generations. In addition, Cao Pi also implemented a series of educational reform measures to improve the social status of scholars and cultivate a large number of talents for the long-term development of the country. These cultural contributions not only enriched the connotation of Chinese culture, but also demonstrated Cao Pi's profound understanding and attention to cultural soft power as a politician, further consolidated the leadership of the Cao Wei regime in the cultural field, and set an example for future monarchs to attach importance to culture and govern the country with culture.
On this basis, Cao Pi also advocated an open and inclusive cultural policy, encouraged the exchange and integration of different schools and ideas, and made the cultural atmosphere at that time unprecedentedly active. He established official institutions, not only to teach Confucian classics, but also to introduce the doctrines of various schools of thought, promoting the diversified development of academics. This inclusive cultural environment inspired the creativity and critical thinking of scholars, and laid a solid foundation for the cultural prosperity of later generations. At the same time, Cao Pi attached importance to the social functions of literature and art, believing that literature can not only cultivate sentiment, but also reflect the style of the times and guide social atmosphere. Therefore, he actively supported literary creation, making the literary works of the Cao Wei period full of realistic care and humanistic care, which had a positive and far-reaching impact on the development of later literature. Through these measures, Cao Pi not only enhanced the country's cultural soft power, but also left a valuable cultural heritage for future generations, proving that in troubled times, the power of culture can also become an important cornerstone for stabilizing the country and rallying the people.
On this basis, Cao Pi also advocated an open and inclusive academic atmosphere, encouraging scholars to cross the boundaries of family background and freely communicate and debate. This practice greatly promoted the collision and integration of sparks of thought. The "Imperial College" he established not only taught classical Confucianism, but also introduced diverse thoughts such as Taoism and Legalism, paving the way for the diversified development of academia. This inclusive cultural policy made the academic research and literary creation of the Cao Wei period present unprecedented vitality and depth, and laid the groundwork for the cultural diversity of later generations.
In addition, Cao Pi also took the lead in personally participating in literary creation. His poems and articles were not only sincere in emotion, but also plain in language and close to people's livelihood, showing another side of the leader - the sincerity and talent of a literature lover. This top-down cultural promotion has brought the whole society's respect and love for literature and art to a new height, further stimulating the enthusiasm for folk literature creation. Many excellent folk stories, poems and operas have been passed down to this day, enriching the treasure house of Chinese traditional culture. (End of this chapter)
