曹操三次战争，三次回到邺城，他在政治上每一次都大捞了一票。曹操破马、韩回来，获得的政治待遇是什么呢？“赞拜不名，入朝不趋，剑履上殿，如萧何故事”。
什么意思？就是按照当时的礼仪，大臣朝见皇帝的时候，旁边有一个司仪官，要把他的官衔和他的名字都喊出来。比方说此刻如果曹操去朝见皇帝，司仪官就要喊“武平侯、丞相、领冀州牧曹操，参见皇上”，然后曹操就跪下来，“吾皇万岁，万万岁”。那么现在给他的待遇是什么呢？曹操两个字可以不说了，这叫做“赞拜不名”，就是不喊“曹操”，不喊了。因为在古代，直呼其名它是表示一种什么意思呢？表示这个被叫名字的人地位是比较低的。古人人与人之间的交往，它的称呼，如果要尊敬对方是要称字的；直呼其名就表示我是上级，或者是长辈，才能对别人直呼其名。那么皇帝当然可以对大臣直呼其名，当着皇帝面，大臣之间说话也是要直呼其名的，以表示对皇帝的尊重。现在只报官衔，不喊曹操这两个字了，这是第一个待遇。
Cao Cao fought three wars and returned to Yecheng three times. He made a fortune in politics each time. What political treatment did Cao Cao receive when he broke his horse and Han returned? “Praise and worship are not known, entering the court is not followed, and the sword shoes go up to the hall, like the story of Xiao He.”.
what do you mean? According to the etiquette at that time, when the minister appeared before the emperor, there was a ceremonial officer next to him who wanted to shout out his official title and his name. For example, if Cao Cao went to court to see the emperor at this moment, the chief ceremonial officer would shout “Marquis Wuping, Prime Minister, lead Jizhou Pastoral Cao Cao, see the emperor.” Then Cao Cao knelt down and said, “Long live my emperor, long live my emperor.”. So what is the treatment given to him now? The word “Cao Cao” can be dispensed with. This is called “praising and worshipping without being named”, which means not shouting “Cao Cao”. Because in ancient times, what did it mean to call someone by their first name? The person whose name is called has a relatively low status. In the communication between ancient people, the title of the communication should be expressed in terms of respect for the other person; “Calling someone by their first name means that I am a superior or an elder, so I can only call them by their first name.”. “Then the emperor can of course call his ministers by their first names. In front of the emperor, ministers should also speak by their first names to show respect for the emperor.”. “Now we only report official titles, not just Cao Cao. This is the first treatment.”.
第二个待遇叫做“入朝不趋”，“趋”是什么？就是小步快走，这是表示恭敬。现在规定曹操觐见皇帝的时候可以不“趋”。不“趋”倒也不一定等于说他可以端着个架子，这样大腰大摆地走啊，也不一定是这个意思，正常走路就行。当然董卓呢，我估计见皇帝的时候是这样的。但是你可以正常走路，不用“趋”。
第三个叫做“剑履上殿”，就是可以配剑，穿鞋子上殿。因为我们知道古人这个礼仪它有很多的具体的规定，按照这个规定，卑者见尊者一定要脱鞋，穿不穿袜子看地位高低，地位高的人可以穿袜子，地位很低的光着脚，叫“跣足”。那么剑呢，是绝对不能带进宫殿的，进宫门之前就要把配剑解下来。那么曹操现在可以带着剑，穿着鞋子，那当然袜子也可以穿，上殿了。
The second treatment is called “non trend in entering the DPRK”. What is “trend”? Just take a quick step, which is a sign of respect. It is now stipulated that Cao Cao may not “follow” when presenting himself to the emperor. “Not being” inclined “doesn’t necessarily mean that he can walk with a big waist and a big frame on his shoulder. It doesn’t necessarily mean that, just walking normally.”. Of course, Dong Zhuo, I guess it was like this when I met the emperor. “But you can walk normally without having to” rush “.”.
The third one is called “Sword Shoes on the Temple”, which can be worn with swords and shoes on the temple. Because we know that the ancient etiquette had many specific regulations, according to which the humble must take off their shoes when they saw the honorable, and whether to wear socks depends on their status. People with high status can wear socks, while those with low status barefoot, known as “barefoot.”. As for swords, they must not be brought into the palace. Before entering the palace gate, the matching swords must be untied. So Cao Cao can now wear a sword and shoes, and of course socks can also be worn to go to the temple.
“如萧何故事”，就像当年刘邦给萧何的待遇一样。当然这是一种待遇，实际上曹操根本不见皇帝，皇帝在许县，曹操在邺城，有什么事儿写信，他根本不见的。但是是一种待遇，这是第一次。
第二次，征孙权回来，曹操获得的是封了魏公，就从侯爵进到公爵了。那么第三件事情就是他平汉中、伐张鲁回来以后，由公爵晋升为王爵，就是魏王，而且位在诸侯之上。这个事情也是非常重要的，因为他打破了刘邦定下的一条规矩，就是“异姓不王”，本来只有姓刘的才能封王的，这是封了一个姓曹的，他已经是破了这个例了。这是曹操三次战争回来以后政治上得到的待遇。那么到了建安二十二年的时候，曹操的政治待遇到了登峰造极的地步，除了一个皇帝的称号以外，其他的方方面面都跟皇帝一模一样。而且由于他大权独揽，所以他比皇帝还皇帝。那么到了这个份上的时候，几乎所有的人都认为曹操要当皇帝了，他只剩下一个名字了嘛。曹操要篡汉自立，或者说代汉自立了。
“Like the story of Xiao He,” just like the treatment Liu Bang gave Xiao He back then. Of course, this is a kind of treatment. In fact, Cao Cao does not see the emperor at all. The emperor is in Xu County, and Cao Cao is in Ye City. If there is anything he needs to write, he does not see the emperor at all. But it’s a treatment, this is the first time.
The second time, when Sun Quan came back, Cao Cao obtained the title of Duke Wei and went from Marquis to Duke. Then the third thing was that after his return from Pinghanzhong and the expedition against Zhanglu, he was promoted from Duke to Duke, who was the King of Wei, and was placed above the princes. This matter is also very important, because he broke a rule set by Liu Bang, which is “no king with a different surname.” Originally, only those surnamed Liu could be granted a king, but this was granted a Cao, and he has already broken this example. This is the political treatment that Cao Cao received after returning from the three wars. By the 22nd year of Jian’an, Cao Cao’s political treatment had reached the peak. Except for the title of an emperor, he was the same as the emperor in all aspects. Moreover, because of his monopoly of power, he was even more emperor than the emperor. When it comes to this, almost everyone thinks that Cao Cao is going to become emperor, and he only has one name left. Cao Cao wants to usurp Han’s independence, or stand for Han’s independence.
