Chapter 288 The Road of the Ministers, Where is the Road?
The Han Emperor has a high strategy for governing the world, and he has a clever way to combine rigidity and softness.
All the sons of the hundred schools were deposed, and Confucianism led the way,
Monarchs and ministers father and son set the outline, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and morality,
In the past 400 years, we have rejuvenated the country, and we know that paper and pen are better than knives!
At dawn - in the back house of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao wore a forehead guard, wore a brocade robe, leaned on the soft couch, his eyes were condensed, and his momentum was restrained, like a sick tiger lying on a barren hill, and the majesty of the king was undiminished!
Mrs. Bian sat on the side, holding a bowl of corn porridge, thick and thin, full of aroma, slowly fed with a copper spoon, serving very carefully, this was a matter of maids, but the eldest lady did it herself!
"Congratulations to the Prime Minister - clear the haze and recover!"
"I wish my father a long and long life!"
Xiao Yi, Guo Jia, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, Cao Xiong...... Lined up in turn, saluting and greeting, the difference is that the first two people clasped their fists and bowed their hands, and the last four knelt on the ground and bowed to the father and son!
"Ahem! Cough! --It's all your own family, no need to be polite, serve six bowls of corn porridge, and enjoy breakfast together!
Cao Cao's tone was gentle, with the demeanor of an auspicious father, and when his eyes turned, he touched Mrs. Bian, and he showed a hint of a smile!
"The prime minister has an order: people from your own family should share breakfast!"
At the sound of the order, the attendants heard the wind, laid the table, and served six bowls of corn porridge, golden in color and steaming, accompanied by shredded pickles, cabbage hearts, and boiled eggs...... Nutritious and appetizing!
"Slippery! - Slippery! …… Delicious! ”
Xiao Yi, Cao Pi, and Cao Zhi were not polite, and they picked up corn porridge with small pickles, and ate it very sweetly, for them, this is a homely meal, nothing inhibited!
Guo Jiake was embarrassed, after taking a seat, he was at a loss, and almost sent the porridge into his nose, he was either a son or a son-in-law, he must be his own family, he is a foreign minister, what is the matter, can it be said that the prime minister is wrong?
You must know that the feudal etiquette and strict rules, treat the courtiers with foreign surnames, can only feast and drink in the lobby, only the closest relatives can enter the inner room to eat, this is called 'flesh and blood relatives, do not avoid suspicion', enjoy this kind of treatment, only brothers, nephews, sons-in-law, the rest can not!
The problem is that Cao Cao, as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, is in line with etiquette and law in his words and deeds, and will not make low-level mistakes, he said that he is a family, and it must be a family!
Guo Jia is known as a 'ghost talent', usually wandering in the wind, short of human feelings, vaguely feeling a little bad, and can't think of the reason, he is alone, except for the seven-foot body, there is nothing to lose, right?
On the contrary, Xiao Yi is quick and experienced, and immediately guessed a few points, it is estimated that it will not be long before he will have one more brother-in-law, a pair of friends, and marrying sisters, which is also a good story!
"The old man has a big matter to discuss, no worries and Fengxiao will stay, and the rest will retreat, Zhongkang will guard the door and not allow outsiders to disturb!"
After breakfast, Cao Cao waved his hand lightly and let his sons withdraw, their city government is not enough, and they can't participate in some military affairs, at the same time, Xu Chu led a team of personal soldiers, Tuan Tuan's guard dormitory, and no one is allowed to approach!
"The prime minister is careful of his body, and the concubine has retired for the time being!"
Mrs. Bian saluted, and also took the initiative to withdraw, women are not allowed to interfere in politics, this is the rule of the Prime Minister's House, even if it is the eldest lady, she does not dare to cross the thunder pool half a step, so there are only Cao Cao, Xiao Yi, Guo Jia left in the house, three extremely smart men!
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
"The old man ruled the country and the country, pacified the war, and made great contributions to the community, but he was assassinated and almost lost his life in Jiuquan, which is really chilling, it is better to retreat bravely in the rapids and return to the mountains and forests earlier!"
Cao Cao's face was gloomy as water, and he took out a secret report from under his pillow, which was sent by the 'Tiger and Leopard Rider', after their repeated investigations, the dagger assassination incident was done by Ji Ping alone, there was no mastermind behind the scenes, and there was no accomplice!
There is only one murderer, there is no involvement, it is easy to close the case, it stands to reason that it is a good thing, but Cao Cao is not happy at all, on the contrary, he hopes that there is a mastermind behind the scenes, there are people who are complicit, even if the implication is very wide, and the blood of the killing is like a river, it is better than a person assassination!
The reason is very simple, if there is a conspiracy, it is just a struggle for power and interests within the court, and it is just a matter of using subordinate means, Cao Cao can track down the black hands, rectify the court officials, and even open a killing ring, a big purge, no more than a thousand people killed, no more than 10,000 people implicated, completely within the scope of bearing!
On the contrary, Ji Ping, a imperial doctor, has no conflict of interest, no personal grudges, and even risked his life to assassinate the prime minister, behind this matter, there is a kind of public opinion: 'The Han family is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone will punish the rebellious ministers and thieves!'" ’
When Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he brought disaster to the country and the people, and the captain of the Yue Cavalry - Wu Fu, hidden a short blade, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate, but the result was a failure, blood splashed on the royal steps, the two things are compared before and after, how similar they are!
Cao Cao was a traitor in troubled times, eloquent and strategic, he could purge civil and military officials, he could crusade against all kinds of princes, he could only be ruthless, he could kill thousands, tens of thousands, and millions, the problem is, he couldn't kill all the people in the world?
Since ancient times, it is easy to fight the country, but it is extremely difficult to win the hearts of the people, the Han family ruled for 400 years, and the snake uprising, the peace of Qin and the destruction of Chu, and the rule of Wenjing...... Over time, years have precipitated, and the descendants of the Liu family have become emperors, which have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is difficult to change them!
In particular, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty - Liu Che, deposed the hundred schools internally, respected Confucianism alone, and controlled the hearts of the people of the whole country; He has won many foreign battles, expanded his territory, and seized the living space, he has brought too much glory to the people in the world, so that the hearts of the people in the world are all in the Han family!
The human heart is the will of heaven, invisible and real, usually can't be seen, can't be touched, seems to be useless, at a critical moment, can become thousands of troops, money, food and grass, and the capital to compete for the world, so it is said that those who win the hearts of the people win the world!
Of course, in the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, there is no shortage of mediocre emperors, and there is no shortage of tyrannical ministers, Huo Guang, Liang Ji, Dou Xian, Dong Zhuo...... They control the government, fly high, and even change the day, depose the emperor, and be domineering, what is the result, depose a person surnamed Liu, and then set up a surname Liu, the world is still the Han family, and the ministers can hold the crown, but they dare not wear it on their heads!
The only one who crossed the line was the thief of the world - Wang Mang, who was a relative of honor, stole authority, controlled the government, poisoned Emperor Ping of Han, deposed his children, cut off the Han dynasty, and established a new dynasty of the Wang family!
What is the result, in just eight years, the world is turbulent, the people are all against it, the Green Forest Army invaded Chang'an, Wang Mang died in Graduality, the body was dissected, the bones were scattered, and the new dynasty of the Wang family became one of the shortest-lived dynasties!
Next, Liu Xiu rose to Hebei, swept the world's heroes, and prospered the Han Dynasty, as for the reason for his success, in addition to knowing people and making good use of them, being wise and martial, and the identity of the Han clan is also inseparable, to put it bluntly, the rule of the Han family is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the people are willing to support an emperor surnamed Liu!
Speaking of the current situation, Cao Cao was lucky, wise and martial, conquered the Quartet, established a world-famous career, and became the uncrowned king; Cao Cao was also unlucky, controlling the government, setting up the emperor, and embarking on the road of power, which is also a road of no return!
The road of the ministers, there are no coordinates, no direction, ethereal to the extreme, no one has ever walked through, Huo Guang, Liang Ji, Dou Xian...... A group of pioneers, the beginning of the power of the government and the opposition, the scenery is unlimited, the final ending, is not a different place, full of beheading, broken bones and ashes, no return!
The things of the past life, the teacher of the future, it can be inferred from this that Cao Cao's future fate may not be good there, even if the scenery is infinite during his lifetime, he will counterattack after death, and even the Cao clan will probably have to be buried with him!
Someone is going to ask, the power of the minister is difficult to do, the crisis is everywhere, there is no good end, why not give up the right, live in seclusion in the mountains and old forests, and be a leisurely person, you can cultivate sentiment, prolong life, and protect the family, peaceful life, isn't it beautiful...... The answer is: 'The way of the powerful minister is the most difficult, that is, there is no future, and there is no way out!' ’
One of them: can not retreat - Cao Cao, as the prime minister, is in charge of the world, not a person is struggling, but represents a group, the glory and wealth of countless people, are tied to one body, that is, Cao Cao has the heart to retreat, and the civil and military ministers do not agree, a little careless, causing contradictions within the group, I am afraid it will be out of control!
Second: Don't dare to retreat - the struggle for power, cruel, either you die, or I live, once Cao Cao gives up his authority and retreats to the deep mountains and old forests, then the new successor, in order to consolidate his rights, will inevitably take office, and the little emperor - Liu Xie, who hates the Cao family to the bone, how can he give up, so on the side, the ministers will take a step back, they will only die faster and die more miserably!
Third: unwilling to retreat - everyone in the world has selfishness, no one can be an exception, Cao Cao was born in filth, discriminated against by the world, all by his own efforts, working day and night, fighting in the south and the north, this became the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, holding the authority of the world, let him give up the right that he spent most of his life hard to get, how could he be willing?
As for 'the assassin poisoned, disheartened, and wanted to retreat bravely from the ......', it's just a scene, who believes who is a big fool, a traitor in troubled times, a strong desire for power, and will never give up his rights until the last moment of his life, let alone return to the emperor of the Han family, even his own son!
Since there is no way back, there is only a way forward, is there no road ahead...... Then break out one by one, if it fails, but like other powerful ministers - the head is different, return to dust, once you succeed - turn the family into the country, and build a thousand years!
Cao Cao summoned Xiao Yi and Guo Jia in the bedroom, just to explore a strategy to continue to walk his path of power and ministers, and the deeper meaning is: 'Step by step, replace the Han family, smooth transition, and avoid backlash!' ’
"Difficult! -Difficult! -Difficult! …… Since the beginning of the world, there have been frequent changes of dynasties, either hanging the people and cutting down crimes, or rising up, overthrowing the old dynasty and establishing a new dynasty, but through the road of power and ministers, there is no one who has succeeded in taking the throne of God! ”
In the bedroom, there was silence, and the falling needles could be heard, Cao Cao, Xiao Yi, Guo Jia...... The three extremely smart people, with gloomy faces and frowns, are all thinking hard, where is the road to the ministers?
