Volume 2: Qingzhou Zhipeng Section 53: Liu Bei enters Beijing
"Cai Fujun, but in 28 years, Hua governed the border county Donglai to be politically harmonious and full of grain, and he was really a prodigy in the world. However, if the prince of the mansion has such a talent for managing the middle, how can he be confined to the land of a county. When today's son is the same age as the prince, he also has the world in mind and has the heart of hard work. If the prince of the palace is assisted by the Son of Heaven and helps the Son of Heaven to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, it will definitely become a good story for the world. In the study, Wu Shuo impassionedly said to Cai Ji, who was sitting opposite.
It is undeniable that Wu Shuo's words are quite encouraging, like Li Da, who is sitting behind Cai Ji, is said to be full of blood, and he can't wait to immediately rule the country and level the world with the lord and Dr. Wu. As for Pang Tong, who was sitting beside him, although his face remained unchanged, he also secretly straightened his waist. However, at this time, Cai Ji was extremely calm in the face of Wu Shuo's generous words. I saw her quietly ask Wu Shuo, "Doctor Wu thinks this mansion should stay in Jingshi?" â
Hearing Cai Ji's question, Wu Shuo didn't answer directly, but turned the conversation around and asked, "Cai Fujun, forgive the old man for taking the liberty to ask, can Fujun understand the art of war?" Can you understand the marching formation? â
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, it seems very ridiculous that Wu Shuo asked Cai Ji, who "rejected Yuan Tan in the west and blocked Lu Bu in the south", whether he understood the art of war. But Cai Ji knew that it was precisely because the old man in front of him knew the situation that he would ask such questions. So at this time, Cai Ji didn't say haha with Wu Shuo, but said frankly, "This government doesn't understand the art of war, and doesn't know how to march and arrange." Don't hide it from Dr. Wu, Donglai's victory in Qingzhou this time was all done by General Taishi Ziyi and others. The government is just watching over the war. â
Wu Shuo saw that Cai Ji answered sincerely, so he no longer beat around the bush, but persuaded Cai Ji in a serious tone, "That's it." The government is good at governance, comparable to Qi Zhiguanzhong, not Yan Zhile Yi. The prince of the house should promote his own strengths and avoid his own shortcomings. â
The meaning of Wu Shuo's words is actually very straightforward, that is, you Cai Ji is good at managing internal affairs like Guan Zhong, who assisted King Qi, rather than leading troops to fight like Le Yi, who assisted King Yan. Therefore, instead of staying in Donglai to be threatened by the princes of all parties and tired of fighting, it is better to give up the identity of Taishou and enter Beijing to assist the Son of Heaven in governing the world. In this way, you can not only display your own talents, but also ensure the safety of your net worth.
However, Wu Shuo's words were certainly heartfelt, but Cai Ji was not moved by his words. It is undeniable that Wu Shuo's starting point is for good. If it is not the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty but the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven is not Liu Xie but Liu Xiu, Cai Ji may consider Wu Shuo's construction. However, history has clearly told her that the situation in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was very complicated, and it could not be solved by "giving the sword of Shangfang" as staged in the drama. What's more, with Liu Xie's situation, it is impossible to give her a "Guan Zhong worship".
As soon as he thought of Guan Zhong's worship to the prime minister, Cai Ji, who had an idea in his heart, immediately arched his hand towards Wu Shuo and asked, "Since Doctor Wu said that there is Guan Zhong's talent in this mansion, he doesn't know that Sikong can have the legacy of Baozi?" â
Bao Zi's legacy refers to the allusion that Bao Shuya, the doctor of Qi State, recommended Guan Zhong as the prime minister to Qi Huan Gong in the Spring and Autumn Period. And at present, there is only one Sikong in the entire Xudu City, and that is Cao Sikong, Cao Cao. The meaning of Cai Ji's words is tantamount to asking Cao Cao to learn from Uncle Bao and give her the "phase" to her, the "female middle manager".
actually asked Cao Mengde to give way
Wu Shuo, who was too crazy and was stunned by Cai Ji's arrogant words, only felt that his head was slammed, and he didn't know how to describe the little woman in front of him. But after the initial shock, Wu Shuo thought about it, although Cai Ji's words were a little crazy, they were not crazy. As far as Wu Shuo knows, Cai Ji built water power in Donglai, implemented the tuntian system, the monopoly of salt and iron, and opened the port to trade. In contrast, although Cao Cao also implemented the tuntian system in Yan and Henan prefectures, he also built water wheels and overturned cars like Donglai. However, in addition to being more extensive than Cai Ji, the people's livelihood in the two states under Cao Cao was inferior to Donglai in all aspects. What's more, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and many other capable people helped each other, and many of Donglai's decrees were from Cai Ji himself. As far as governance is concerned, it is self-evident which is better and which is inferior. In addition, Cai Ji is a generation younger than Cao Cao. If it was really in the Spring and Autumn Period, Cao Cao did have the virtue of Uncle Bao. That the elder makes the young, and the foolish makes the virtuous, but it can really become a good story. However, it is not the Spring and Autumn Period at the moment, but Cao Mengde can't do anything with Uncle Bao. Therefore, what Cai Ji said is impossible to realize in Wu Shuo's ears, and in other words, it can also be understood as a kind of prevarication.
Thinking of this, Wu Shuo couldn't help but look at him, and asked in a deep voice at Cai Ji, "Fujun, isn't this joking?" â
Ji didn't dare to joke with his elders, Ji just talked about things. If you talk about the talent of Guan Zhong, there is more than one person in the world. Yecheng's Fu Gonghe, Xu Du's Xun Wenruo, and even Pengcheng's Zhang Zibu can all be called talented. However, if you don't have the right to manage the middle, I am afraid that you will not be able to achieve the importance of enriching the country and respecting the emperor. Cai Ji bowed his head and replied respectfully and humbly.
Yes, if Guan Zhong was not worshiped as the prime minister by Qi Huan, then he would just be a rebellious minister who died with the monarch. If Guan Zhong did not have great power, he would not have been able to implement his various reform measures in the Qi State. So after listening to Cai Ji's words, Wu Shuo had to admit that the woman in front of him was modest and pragmatic, but at the same time, she was also arrogant and ambitious. Saying that Cai Ji is modest and pragmatic means that she can see the situation clearly and is not moved by high-ranking officials. To say that Cai Ji is so ambitious means that she is too confident in her talent and ignores her own shortcomings.
Although Wu Shuo's loyalty to the Han family can be revealed, he also knows that the Han Dynasty has shown a trend of separating the princes of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and it is not easy to achieve the prosperity of Guangwu. Therefore, Wu Shuo, like many ministers of this era, did not resist the division of the princes, after all, as long as the princes did not call the emperor, the country would still be unified. If Cai Ji was a man who wanted to dominate one side, Wu Shuo would treat him with the courtesy of a prince, hoping that he would be able to support the court after gaining power. However, Cai Ji is not a man, she is a fake woman.
In Wu Shuo's view, Cai Ji's achievements as a daughter have reached the limit. It is true that as Cai Ji said, he can rely on Tai Shici and other famous generals to protect the land of Donglai County. But what about after that? Could it be that she, Cai Anzhen, and a female streamer, can still compete with those princes in the Central Plains and dominate one side? No, Cai Ji is indeed talented, and her talent is enough to overshadow many princes. However, it is not enough to dominate the party with talent, but also need the support of the wealthy family. Children from poor families like Tai Shici, Guo Jia, Wang Xiu, etc., may not mind that Cai Ji is daughter in order to get ahead. But the wealthy family is not so easy to deal with. Yes, even if it is Cao Cao, who has the title of a 100,000-strong army, there are few families to take care of him at this time. As for the recruitment order he posted, there were very few applicants. So much so that Cao Cao had to use the method of burning the mountain to force out the famous scholar Ruan Yu. Cao Cao is still like this, and as a woman, Cai Ji may be supported by the family.
Thinking that such a prodigy was going astray, Wu Shuo, who suddenly felt abnormal heartache, couldn't help blurting out, "Cai Fujun, you can't fight for hegemony." Since ancient times, those who compete for hegemony must combine time, place, and people in order to succeed. Putting aside the time, Donglai has no geographical advantages, and the prince of the palace also lacks connections. This cannot be done. â
As soon as Wu Shuo's words came out, not only Cai Ji's heart chuckled, but even Li Da and Pang Tong, who were sitting behind her, were moved. Although after the previous battle of Qingzhou, Donglai seems to have a tendency to secede, but Cai Ji has not announced in public that he wants to dominate one side. And Wu Shuo had no scruples at the moment to say something about the separation, which somewhat surprised Cai Ji. However, this also shows from another angle that the old man in front of him is really worried about her Cai Ji.
This reminded Cai Ji of Zhang Qing's bitter words and Tai Shici's night visit when he was in Huang County. Who said that there are only conspiracy and betrayal in troubled times, how can the friendship between these Pingshui meet be comparable to the friendship of wine and meat in the peaceful era. Everyone's intentions were well understood, but once the Shura Dao left, there was no turning back.
Cai Ji, who apologized so much in his heart, immediately bowed to Wu Shuo calmly and said, "Doctor Wu has taught him a lesson. Ji does lack geographical advantages, and there are few people. However, Zeji knew that if there was more royal land in the world, the Han family would have more help. For this reason, Ji would rather fight in the border county than take the corpse seat of Houlu vegetarian meal. â
The four words of vegetarian corpse seat beat Wu Shuo's heart like a drumstick. Thinking of the scene when the Son of Heaven was held hostage by Dong Zhuo, thinking of the years when the Son of Heaven was trembling under the authority of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, and thinking of the fact that the court is now full of Cao Cao's henchmen, Wu Shuo suddenly felt that these four words really fit the appearance of the ministers in the court. Although the ministers did not want to eat the corpse, the situation forced them to do so. If Cai Jizhen gives up his position as Donglai Taishou and enters Beijing as an official, can she change this situation? The answer, of course, is no. Leaving the army and leaving the station, no matter how talented Cai Ji is, he is just a powerless woman. Wu Shuo still understands this truth.
In this way, the old man is in a hurry for quick success
Wu Shuo, who suddenly became enlightened, sighed in his heart, and finally showed a smile on his face, "It seems that the old man is confused." Cai Fujun is still young, and he shouldn't accompany the old man and others to waste time in Beijing. That's it, it's rare for the prince to come to Beijing once, I don't know if the old man can help? â
Cai Ji heard Wu Shuo's question and knew that this bet was right. No, Cai Ji is gambling. After all, she is in the Cao family's base camp Xu Du at this time, and she needs to take a great risk when she says something like "I don't know if there is a legacy of Baozi". And the reason why Cai Ji dared to say such arrogant words in front of Wu Shuo was that she knew that Wu Shuo was a hardcore royalist in history and the main person involved in the edict incident. And Wu Shuo's expression at the moment shows that she really doesn't look at people. This old master is a worthy partner.
So, seeing that Wu Shuo was persuaded by Shun LĂŹ, Cai Ji then humbly bowed his hand and said, "Ji is not familiar with life when he first arrives in Xudu, and he needs more guidance from Dr. Wu." â
Wu Shuo listened to Cai Ji's meaning, and it seemed that he wanted to make friends with the characters in the Jingshi. So after muttering for a long time, Twist nodded and said, "The old man knows a few people who have a relationship with Ling Zun. If Cai Fujun has it, the old man can recommend one or two for Fujun. â
Although it is clear that most of the people introduced by Wu Shuo are also royalists, and they have no real power. But these people are better than having a reputation. What's more, as Wu Shuo said, Cai Ji's connections on the table are too weak at the moment. Those celebrities of the scholar clan who are above the top may not take it seriously at first, but according to Cao Cao's temperament, sooner or later he will take action on these "ignorant and bad" celebrities. At that time, the incense spread in Xudu will always attract some people. Besides, even if the celebrities themselves are stubborn, they still have children, nephews, and clansmen, so it is better to use them for themselves than to let Cao Mengde kill and fill the pit.
Cai Ji, who crackled the abacus in his heart, immediately thanked him, "Then there is Dr. Lao Wu." â
Now that Wu Shuo has understood that it is not suitable to stay in Xudu, and has obtained his promise to introduce celebrities, Cai Ji's trip to Wufu can be regarded as a complete success. Therefore, after talking to Wu Shuo about some more Xudu customs, Cai Ji happily said goodbye and left Wufu. However, compared with Cai Ji, who was satisfied, Li Da and Pang Tong, who accompanied him, had their own hearts on the road. Seeing this, Cai Ji knew that the words he had just made with Wu Shuo in the Wu Mansion had touched these two teenagers a lot. It's just that it's not suitable to talk about national affairs in public at this time. So Cai Ji just sat in the car and didn't say much, just let the two of them think.
However, just as the group was waiting for the silent advance, a team of people waving flags suddenly appeared at the fork in the road ahead. The curious Cai Ji lifted the bamboo curtain slightly and glanced at it, but the three armored generals in the team were Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.
"Liu Guanzhang has entered Beijing?"
And just when Cai Ji in the car was muttering secretly, the group of people on the opposite side suddenly stopped, and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a civil official whispering a few words to Liu Bei, and the eyes of Liu Guanzhang and the three suddenly turned to the carriage where Cai Ji was. Cai Ji, who realized that he was being avoided, did not mean to turn around and avoid it, but instead generously lifted the curtain of the car and bowed politely to Liu Guanzhang and the others.
Liu Bei seemed to be quite surprised by Cai Ji's appearance. But after all, he still didn't come forward to greet Cai Ji, but after returning the salute to Cai Ji with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he led the team out of the fork in the road. However, Cai Ji took the opportunity to see clearly that the civil official who whispered to Liu Bei just now was his old opponent Kong Rong. Thinking of the relationship between Kong Rong, Liu Bei, and Gongsun Zhan, Cai Ji had to admit that it was getting more and more lively. But I don't know what kind of scene Liu Bei and Cao Cao will be like after they meet. In view of the evil tiger Lu Bu watching from the side, it is estimated that the green plum boiled wine will not be staged for the time being.
But Cai Ji thought about it again, even history has changed in his hands, and it doesn't matter if the green plum boiled wine is not staged. Thinking of this, Cai Ji subconsciously glanced back at Pang Tong beside him. I saw that at this time, Pang Tong was staring at the distant soldiers and horses and frowned secretly. Seeing this situation, Cai Ji happily mentioned to him, "Shiyuan, that person just now is Liu Bei and Liu Xuande. â
