Chapter 65: Loyalty to the King and Loyalty to the People

Xun Yu, Cao Cao's chief strategist and hero of the unification of the north, held the center for more than ten years, dealt with military affairs, and was respectfully called "Xun Lingjun".

Xun Yu formulated a blueprint and military line for Cao Cao's plan to unify the north in terms of strategy, and was praised by Cao Cao for revising his strategic policy many times. Including "deeply rooted to control the world" and "welcome the Son of Heaven".

In terms of tactics, he once faced the rebellion of Lu Bu and protected the three cities of Yanzhou, plotted to strangle Yuan Shao in Guandu, and made many achievements such as the dangerous passage of Wan and Ye to cover his surprise attack on Jingzhou.

Politically, a large number of talents such as Zhong Xuan, Xun You, Chen Qun, Du Xi, Xi Zhicai, and Guo Jia were recommended for Cao Cao. Xun Yu has made many achievements in planning, conspiracy, Kuang Bi, and lifting people, and was called "my son's room" by Cao Cao.

As for Xun You, in history, when He Jin was in power, he served as a squire of the Yellow Gate, and when Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he was imprisoned for plotting to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and then abandoned his official position and went home.

When Cao Cao conquered LΓΌ Bu, Xun You dissuaded Cao Cao from retreating, and offered a strange plan to flood Picheng and capture LΓΌ Bu alive. In the battle of Guandu, Xun Yu offered a plan to attack the east and west, killing Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

He also planned strange soldiers, sent Xu Huang to burn Yuan Shao's grain and grass, and at the same time urged Cao Cao to accept Xu You, draw a black nest, and make great contributions. During the pacification of Hebei, Xun Youli overrode public opinion and advocated that Cao Cao eliminate Yuan Shao's sons.

Xun You acted carefully and low-key, and was full of scheming, known as Cao Cao's "mastermind", and was good at flexible tactics and military tactics to defeat the enemy.

"Zihan, Wenruo, Gongda, you are all about the same age, so you can't prevent getting close to each other in the future." Cai Yong said with a smile, he knew that Zhang Hao needed talents and helped Zhang Hao match.

"Brother Zihan, I heard Mr. Bo Ji say that you once chanted the poem "When the king Daoping, open your face to see the light of the sky", it seems that you are very dissatisfied with today's son. Xun Yu stepped forward and said.

"Wen Ruo, don't be unreasonable." Xun Shuang heard Xun Yu say this, and said reprimandingly.

"Sir, it's okay, since Brother Wen Ruo proposed it, why don't we discuss it, it's just today's matter, I hope it must not be passed on." Zhang Hao said with a smile.

"Say it, what you said today won't get out."

"Brother Wen Ruo, I don't know what you think our generation should be loyal to? Or loyalty? Zhang Hao looked at Xun Yu and asked.

"The monarch is the minister, the father is the son, the husband is the wife, the monarch and the minister, the father and the son, and the husband and wife have a predetermined and eternal master-slave relationship, and of course they must be loyal to the Son of Heaven." Xun Yu said as a matter of course.

"Is it true to be loyal to the monarch even if he is mediocre?" Zhang Hao asked rhetorically.

"Of course, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, and my generation, as a courtier, must be loyal to the monarch."

"If the government is harsh and fierce as the tiger, and the people are not happy, you still have to be loyal to the monarch?"

"The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die." Xun Yu retorted.

"I think Wen Ruo's statement is a bit biased." Zhang Hao smiled and said.

"I want to hear about it." Xun Yu said without being salty.

Everyone else also looked at Zhang Hao with interest.

"It is foolish to think that my generation should be loyal to the people." Zhang Hao said.

"What is loyalty?" Xun Yu stepped forward to ask.

"Of course, it is loyal to all the people of the world, and all the people of the world are in mind, as a monarch, he should serve the people, the monarch is loyal to the people, and the courtiers are loyal to the monarch."

"How can the monarch and the people be the people? Sheji is the master. Shall the ruler be honest with his mouth? Sheji is raised. Therefore, if the monarch dies for the community, he will die; If the society dies, it will die; If it is not his personal pleasure to die for himself, who would dare to let it go? ”

"The sages also once said that the king regards his ministers as his siblings, and the ministers regard the king as his heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy. ”

"The duty of a monarch is to be loyal to the people and the country, and the duty of a courtier is to be loyal to the country and the monarch who serves the country, and the monarch dies for the country, and the courtier should be loyal to the monarch and die in battle together"

"The monarch died for his personal interests, we are not his minions, there is no need to defend him, if the monarch slaughters all the people, will my generation still help the abuse?" Zhang Hao looked at Xun Yu and asked with a smile.

"The Son of Heaven is ordained by Heaven, and the king's power is granted by Heaven, and he is only bound by the Mandate of Heaven." Xun Yu said

"The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. Therefore, the people of the hill are the sons of heaven, the sons of heaven are the princes, and the princes are the doctors. The princes are in danger of the community, then they are replaced, the sacrifice is completed, the prosperity is full, and the sacrifice is made, but the drought and water overflow are changed. ”

"This is because, with the people, the state needs to be built; With a country, there needs to be a "king". The state is established for the people, and the position of "king" is established for the state. ”

Wen Ruoke once heard such a passage in "Xunzi Wangzhi Chapter": "The people are in power, and then the gentleman is in power." It is said: The monarch, the boat also; Those who are common to the people, the water is also; The water carries the boat, and the water capsits the boat. ”

"The monarch is but this flat boat, and the people are like water, and water can make a ship move or drown it."

Zhang Hao said leisurely, everyone here listened attentively, thoughtfully, in this era, as soon as these words came out, it was like dropping a stone on the calm water, so that everyone could not be calm.

"Are you going to be the drop of water that overthrows the big man?" Xun Yu asked with an angry look at Zhang Hao.

"Brother Wen Ruo's words are wrong, first of all, he has no heart to be submissive now, and he will not rebel like the yellow scarf." Zhang Hao said.

He knows that the troubled times are coming, even if he wants to dominate the world, it is not the time when the Han still has a certain status in the hearts of most people.

"Secondly, even if someone wants to overthrow it, it is this rotten court, a mediocre monarch, not this big man, the big man is the big man of the world, not the big man of his Liu family." Zhang Hao said impassionedly.

Xun Yu didn't expect Zhang Hao to say such a thing, which was obviously inconsistent with what he originally knew, but he didn't know how to refute it.

"Whew! A gentleman should not be happy with things, not sad with himself, the high temple is worried about its people, and the far away from the rivers and lakes is worried about its monarch, the first world is worried and worried, and the world is happy after the world! Belch! Weisi people, who am I with? ”

Zhang Hao saw that everyone didn't make a sound, and said aloud the famous sentence that the world was worried first and the world was happy and happy, he didn't want to give others the opportunity to say that he had the heart to rebel.

"The worries of the world are worried, and the joys of the world are happy."

"Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself."

These people who were doing it were all muttering Zhang Hao's words, bowing their heads and thinking.

"Zihan has the world in his heart, and the old man is also sighing to himself." Qiao Xuan thought for a while, looked up at Zhang Hao and said.

"Qiao Gong laughed, how dare the kid compare with Qiao Gong." Zhang Hao bowed and said.

"Zhang Zihan, it's best not to let me know what you are doing, otherwise I won't let you go." Xun Yu snorted coldly, brushed his sleeves away, and left the Hero Building.
