Chapter 102 Death of Emperor Ai

Cao Rui went to Jinting for nearly a month to help the Wang family deal with Wang Xizhi's funeral.When he came back, he also brought back Wang Xianzhi and Xi Daomao.

Wang Xianzhi came here this time to be appointed as an official, probably because the emperor sympathized with the loss of the right general of the Wang family, and granted Wang Xianzhi an idle position to show his relief.

The Wang family already had a house in the capital, and Wang Xianzhi and his wife lived in their own house after they came.Because of this, Jing Ran has one more place to go, and from time to time, he will go to the palace to chat with Xi Daomao.

The two hit it off right away and became best friends, talking about everything.

On this day, it suddenly occurred to outsiders that Cao Rui came back in a hurry to pick up his luggage, saying that the emperor had passed away, and he could not come back soon, and would be detained by the secretary for a few days.

Cao Rui's job is to compile the history of the country. Every time the emperor dies, he must write his life during his reign, and everything must be recorded in the book.The current emperor died, and all the details of the funeral ceremony must be written in the history books, as well as the new emperor's ascension to the throne and so on.

As long as it is related to the historical changes of the entire country, it must be recorded in detail, so Cao Rui is probably too busy to sleep recently.

Jing Ran thought: Sure enough, my master was right, the little emperor blindly took pills all day long, regardless of whether it was suitable for him, and finally poisoned himself to death.Fortunately, my master has been away for a while, so it has nothing to do with this matter.

However, since the master also knows that many medicines have effects and may be poisonous, why does he still take medicine every day?Wang Xizhi also took medicine all day long, maybe he didn't die of illness, but he poisoned himself to death.

Hey, I really don't understand whether these ancient people were looking for longevity or early reincarnation.If you don't eat good food, you must take some pills.It's not about pity on life at all, but reluctance to die.

Because the Ai Emperor Sima Pi who had just passed away had no children, Sima Yu, king of Kuaiji, discussed with Queen Mother Chu and chose Sima Pi's younger brother, Sima Yi, to take the throne.

And why can future generations know these things?It was thanks to Jing Ran's husband, Cao Rui, who worked day and night under the secretary's supervision to write the history of the country.

Sometimes Jing Ran feels miserable looking at the titles of these emperors, Emperor Ai, Emperor Abandoned, listen, can there be good results?
After all the dust settled, Cao Rui finally returned home disheveled.Jing Ran ordered someone to boil Cao Rui's bath water, and washed Cao Rui's body himself.

A lot of herbs were soaked in the big wooden barrel. Jing Ran said that it was a medicated bath, which could wash away the fatigue on the body and was good for the recovery of the body.Cao Rui benefited a lot from soaking in the big wooden barrel, holding his wife's hand, although he was speechless, Jing Ran could understand his longing.

Cao Rui said: "This emperor is also a puppet. Inside there is Kuaiji King Sima Yu who handles political affairs, and outside there is Grand Sima Huanwen who is in charge of military affairs. He has no power. After the establishment of our capital in Jiankang, only the first emperor has power. Ideals have ambitions and rights, and since then, all emperors have been reduced to decorations, so sad!"

Jing Ran thought to herself: Her princess mother-in-law is wise on this point. In this dynasty, the emperor has changed so frequently, and even the emperor has no real power. It may be even more difficult for ordinary people to display their ambitions.

If he wants to get ahead, he can only rely on powerful ministers, and a straight-minded person like Cao Rui must not be able to cling to powerful people. He will inevitably cause trouble when he goes to court, so this idle job is more suitable for him.

Jing Ran comforted: "Mencius said: 'If you are successful, you can help the world, and if you are poor, you can be good alone.'Since the current situation is not suitable for helping the world, it is good for you to be good for yourself."

Cao Rui closed his eyes and nodded silently.

 This is to die for, it's a good thing to take medicine every day
