Chapter 257: On Heroes
The spirit of the party is not afraid of the best to inspire future generations and has a great impact on future generations. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Under the tyranny of the eunuchs in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the phenomenon of moral degradation and demoralization was particularly serious. Party members Chen Fan, Li Ying, Li Yun, and others all had the heart of worrying about the country and the people, dared to risk death to give direct advice, angrily denounced treacherous evil, and the spirit of eliminating the emasculated party is commendable. Therefore, their spirit of "killing to seek benevolence" has been admired by people throughout the ages. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the struggle of the Donglin Party against the eunuchs was inspired and influenced by the fighting spirit of the Eastern Han Party members. From all standpoints, the resurrected predecessors of the Han Dynasty must have stood in the perspective of scholars, even if their relatives have not recognized them for so long, they still have to stand in the perspective of scholars, so it is a matter of course to fight for the interests of scholars. In this way, how could Emperor Han Ling not be afraid of these people.
In fact, speaking of personal issues such as prostitution, even if these people are in a position such as reinstating the prime minister, it is just a persuasion, and it will not affect anything at all.
But there are some things that affect people's livelihood and social welfare, and that's a big problem.
In the first year of Guanghe, Emperor Ling, at the instigation of his mother Empress Dowager Dong and his attendants, began to try to sell officials, and since then he has really been out of control. The imperial court publicly announced that it could spend money to buy positions in departments such as Huben and Yulin under Guangluxun from the Marquis of Guan Nei to Guangluxun; The rules for selling officials are: the price of a magistrate is twice as high as that of a court official, and the price of a county official is different; Officials must also be promoted according to the price. The person seeking the position can evaluate the bid, and the person with the highest bid will win the bid. In addition to the fixed price, it can also be increased or decreased at any time according to the value of the seeker and the property he owns.
Generally speaking, the price of an official position is calculated based on the annual salary of an official, for example, the price of an official position of 2,000 stone per year is 20 million yuan, and the price of an official position of 400 stone is 4 million yuan, that is to say, the price of an official position is 10,000 times the annual income of an official. Although Duan Cheng, Zhang Wen and others have great merit and high prestige, they all paid enough money before ascending to the public position. Later, when an official was transferred, promoted, or a new official took office, he had to pay one-third or one-quarter of the price of his official position, that is, an official had to pay the equivalent of his legal income for more than 25 years before taking office. Many officials were so frightened that they could not pay such a high "official fee" and left their official positions.
This thing will definitely be sprayed to death, and no matter which 'minister' it is, he can't tolerate such nonsense.
So for now, no matter what the Spirit Emperor thinks, even if he wants to choose the advantageous plan, he must first wipe his ass clean and bring those things back.
"From the point of view below, if Your Majesty's behavior is revealed, it will undoubtedly cut himself off from capable people, and completely block the path of resurrecting the heroic spirit." Cao Cao continued, "On the other hand, the Yellow Turban Army is accepting all rivers and developing vigorously. You look at the current Yellow Turban, in fact, it can be said that it exists in the form of an anti-king alliance, Zhang Jiao's authority as the leader of the alliance is not as huge as that of the Han Emperor, but with him suppressing and adjusting on it, no matter how many people from different camps and different identities and backgrounds join the Yellow Turban Army, they can have a chance to perform, which is undoubtedly much better than the current form of the Han Dynasty! ”
"I didn't expect Boss Cao to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!" Bao Hong muttered to himself.
"Brother Meng De is also exaggerating the threat of the Yellow Turban Army, although the Yellow Turban is now a large number of soldiers, but it can't be said to be a climate, it can't be said that it is much better than the big man!" Dong Zhuo replied casually.
"There may not be any problems for a while, but in the long run, the Han Dynasty has lost people's trust because of this matter and lacks a source of talent, and the Yellow Turban continues to run in, and sooner or later it will be able to reach a certain tacit understanding, and then train the soldiers and cultivate the fields, and the confrontation between the east and the west will be inevitable in the whole development, and even far above the Han army in terms of war potential, the result is self-evident!" Cao Cao opened his mouth to analyze.
"What Brother Meng De said is reasonable, in this case, this case must not be opened, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!" With Boss Cao's analysis, Dong Zhuo's words suddenly changed and changed to strongly support Cao Cao, and Bao Hong was completely unclear for a while.
"Under the nest, the eggs are finished?"
Just when Bao Hong was wondering, Liu Ji's voice came into his ears. In an instant, Bao Hong understood the key to this.
Not to mention whether Boss Cao and Dong Zhuo have ambitions at this time, whether they have the intention of separating or even fighting for hegemony, but it is obvious that with their current strength, in front of the two super forces of Dahan and Yellow Turban, if a single force dares to come forward at this time, it will inevitably be crushed by Mount Tai, and it will collapse and disintegrate in an instant.
As Liu Bowen said, under the nest, the eggs are finished? Or that the skin does not exist, and the hair will be attached, etc., in fact, this is the meaning.
Therefore, Cao Cao saw it very accurately, and there was only one direction of development at present, that is, to develop his own power under the system of the Han Dynasty.
So how can we develop our power? This is naturally expanded in the midst of the war, if the Han Dynasty because of the policy, the talent drained to the hostile camp, the result is naturally needless to say, as Cao Cao said, it is not impossible to be done by the Yellow Turban.
So if the Han Dynasty knelt too fast, and Cao Cao and them were still little saplings, then there would be nothing to do, and they would be directly taken down by the Yellow Turban camp, and they would not have the qualifications to speak at all.
Therefore, Cao Cao's meaning is very clear, whether it is for the sake of the Han family to do his best to die, or for his future days, he must make the Han family stronger, and it is best to kill the yellow scarf, and it is best to distribute the spoils as a member of the victorious country. Otherwise, it's like Wu Sangui, even if the Qing Dynasty gives him face, it's easy to go back and clean him up.
Obviously, Dong Zhuo, like Bao Hong, didn't react at all at first, so he opened his mouth to be the Han family's Guan Laozi's, and when he turned around, he was reminded by Li Ru, and he understood what Cao Cao meant, so he said this very firmly.
So the question is, if you are doing such a thing as persuading the Han Emperor, is it necessary to call someone over? Could it be that there are still few people who dare to advise?
Cao Cao naturally makes sense to do this, with the situation of these people, if this matter is not talked about, even if Cao Shen's matter is exposed, and a bunch of so-called loyal ministers and righteous people go to advise, they may not bubble, at most they will follow behind, and they will not work hard for this.
But when this topic is opened, loyal ministers will naturally jump out to advise, and those who are careful will not stay out of the matter, and they must reverse the mind of Emperor Han at this time, otherwise they will not have a good life for themselves or for the country.
"What Brother Meng De said is reasonable, and it is incumbent on me to do so, and when the time comes, Brother Meng De will greet him, and he will definitely support him with all his might!" Seeing this, Bao Hong also hurriedly came out to express his attitude.
"Although I won a game today, I didn't finish it because of Yingbu's tenacity!" Cao Cao nodded, knowing that the two of them understood what he meant, so he continued, "At this time, if the family ancestor can make a move, the chance of defeating Yingbu's defense will inevitably be greatly improved, so this matter will be directly raised head-on tonight." ”
"When the time comes, the main responsibility will lie with me, and the first one will be me, as long as the two of you support and echo after I put it forward!" Cao Cao continued, "Although this matter is said that everyone knows what to do, Your Majesty is indeed a bit excessive, and even if it is circulated for a period of time after it is exposed, everyone will come out to advise, but if I suddenly put it forward, maybe you may not be able to react tonight, and then the two of you will set an example, and even expose some problems to let everyone understand the drawbacks, and then everyone else will inevitably echo it, so in our army, this matter has a tone." ”
"Yes!"
Bao Hong and Dong Zhuo discussed it separately, Cao Cao had already carried the black pot of this 'main culprit', and there was no problem for the two of them to support him.
"In that case, then this matter has been decided!" Cao Cao greeted with a smile, "Speaking of which, after this battle, I really saw that these two heroes are rare in the world, and it is an honor to be able to fight side by side with the two of them." ”
Bao Hong was stunned, what the hell? Is this going to play on heroes? This is not fun, people cross the party and Cao Cao cooking wine about heroes, there is an original sentence copied, and now in this hellish troubled world, whoever can be called a hero is too pitiful!
"The Sprinkle family has also heard of Brother Meng De's name for a long time, until this time I cooperated with Brother Meng De, and finally saw Brother Meng De's heroic, Wen Tao and Wu Strategy, and the generals under his command are even more rare in the world!" Dong Zhuo also responded at this time, "As for Brother Yunsheng, it is the Sprinkle family who has lost his eyes, although Brother Yunsheng is also decent in the side of helping the wind, but really speaking, it is just easy for the Sprinkle family to lead the iron horse to help the wind in Xiliang. And now, taking advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, since Yongliang walked to the Central Plains, it can really be said that the tiger is out of the box, and the dragon enters the sea (the Han Dynasty does not have much requirements for Jiaolong, Qiulong and the like, because according to metaphysical Taoism, Jiaolong and Qiulong are already evolution in another direction, and the real dragon Tianzi is mainly the gold, wood, water, fire and earth corresponding to the five parties, the white dragon, the green dragon, the black dragon, the red dragon, the yellow dragon, etc., that thing cannot be transgressed), and now I see Brother Yunsheng again, it is really unbelievable, and the sprinkle family is also one word 'service'! ”
"Legend has it that dragons can be big and small, and they can rise and hide; The big one is the clouds and the fog, and the small one is hidden and hidden; The rising is soaring between the universe, and the hidden is lurking in the waves. Fang is deep in this spring, the dragon changes when the time comes, and the Jews have the ambition to cross the seas. Dragons are things, comparable to the heroes of the world. Bao Hong smiled and plagiarized the remarks of Boss Cao of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, "Our brothers are selling themselves and boasting here, I'm afraid that people will hear that I don't know the severity of the jokes, and I don't know how important it is, and I don't know how much I can't do it." ”
"What Brother Yunsheng said is very good, such a metaphor makes the word hero even heavier, and we don't dare to boast about it!" Cao Cao laughed, intuition that Bao Hong's words were itching in his heart, "But as the years go by, if the miraculous things like the resurrection of the heroic spirit continue, I'm afraid that we will really have to confront such heroes who can be called real dragons, and I am not afraid of brothers' jokes, thinking of this, not only is I not timid, but I am enthusiastic and eager to try!" ”
"Brother Meng De's words are also in the heart of the Sprinkle family!" Dong Zhuo also laughed and said, "Qin Emperor Xiang Chu, Emperor Gaozu, I don't know when I will join this competition!" ”
"The heroes of the world are born of my generation!" Bao Hong also said with a smile, "Even if such a hero comes out, he has to adapt to this era, and it is not certain whether he can be called a hero in this life!" ”
"The two brothers think that the current situation, who can be called a hero?" Cao Cao smiled slightly, and finally said this sentence, "Fang today, the strongest person is not the Yellow Turban of the Han Dynasty, when His Majesty first ascended the throne, he was penniless, and he returned to power in just nine months, which can be described as amazingly talented. ”
"Zhang Jiao's yellow scarf swept the world, Taiping Dao, won the hearts of the people in a religious way, and established prestige among the poor peasants, with hundreds of thousands of believers. Zhang Jiao used his right to speak in the hearts of the people to divide the believers in the eight prefectures of Qing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan and Henan into 36 parties, which was already violent, and now there are many anti-Wang rebels of the previous dynasty to join, and the victory of the edge is immeasurable. Dong Zhuo didn't talk about Emperor Ling, and directly talked about the protagonist on the other side.
To be reasonable, the Yellow Turban itself has great advantages, first, it put forward a clear goal of struggle, that is, to eliminate the Eastern Han regime and establish its own rule, which played an important role in calling on and uniting the people to participate in the uprising. Second, the use of religious forms to carry out the propaganda and organization of the uprising has paralyzed the government, accumulated strength, and made relatively adequate preparations for the uprising. Third, the plan for the uprising was drawn up in a relatively thorough and concrete manner. The so-called "internal and external development" and "concurrent development of eight states" reflect this characteristic. Although the implementation of this uprising plan encountered great difficulties due to the traitor's informant, it was basically implemented after Zhang Jiao's decisive disposal, thus dealing a heavy blow to the Eastern Han Dynasty. Fourth, the fighting spirit is resolute, willing to die unyieldingly, daring to attack tough problems, and having the courage to sacrifice, so as to show the world the fighting spirit and noble integrity of the rebels.
Now with the blessings of those people, there is nothing to say about the strength of the power.
"Although the Yellow Turban is now violent, it is a bluff, and it is okay for each to fight for itself, if a confrontation situation is formed, even if there is a corner to suppress the formation, it will inevitably be civil strife, and the administrative orders of each are different, how can they coexist?" Bao Hong said with a smile, "If the war between the Han and the Yellow Turban is not joined by absolute strength, it will inevitably be impossible to divide the victory and defeat in a short period of time. When the time comes, the disadvantages of the yellow scarf will be revealed! ”
