Compared with Cao Rong's rigor and restraint in front of the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries of the Foreign Dynasty, he was very open in front of Sun Zi and Liu Fang, and there was a faint cynicism about the ministers in his tone.

In the face of those old-fashioned and point-in-command old guys, Cao Rong is really helpless, in terms of qualifications, Hua Xin, Chen Qun, and Wang Lang are the heroes of the Great Wei Dynasty, without them, there would be no Great Wei Emperor. They are the trunk of the tree, and they are the branches on the trunk.

In terms of age, pick out any one who is the same generation as his father and grandfather, who is old and virtuous, and the elderly.

Although Sun Zi and Liu Fang can also be Cao Rong's father at their age, Sun Zi and Liu Fang are different from Hua Xin and Chen Qun after all, they are officials in the inner court and have never served in the outer court. He has always mastered the confidential documents of the Great Wei, is the secretary of the monarch of Wei, and is the right and left hand of the three generations of the Cao family.

If it were you, would you feel uncomfortable with your left and right hands?

"Your Majesty is the bloodline of Emperor Wen, the descendants of Taizu, and naturally has an extraordinary vision, and the ministers also have clumsy eyes when they can't see the truth clearly." Liu Fang and Sun Zi have accompanied Cao Cao and Cao Pi for many years, and they know the stinky virtue of the Cao family's father and son, who are greedy for great achievements and a little stubborn for themselves.

Therefore, Liu Fang seemed to offer a sycophant.

Sun Zi said with a solemn face: "Does Your Majesty know, when Emperor Wen ascended the throne, he also asked the late Taiwei Wenhe Gong (Jia Xu, the character Wenhe) and said: 'I want to cut down and don't obey my orders for a day, where is Wu and Shu first?'" ’”

"Well......... I've heard of it. Cao Rong muttered in his mouth, his eyelids raised, and he fell into memory. Jia Xu replied at the time that the attacker should first have the right to fight, and the one who built the capital should be virtuous...... Although Wu Shu is a small country, relying on mountains and rivers, Liu Bei is eloquent, Zhuge Liang is good at governing the country, and Sun Quan knows the truth and the truth...... The minister thought that it was advisable to put literature before military force today. ”

"Jia Xu doesn't approve of the imperial examination to send troops, and now, do you want to use Jia Xu's duet with the first emperor to persuade me?" Cao Rong Fuyue, his voice also deepened.

Sun Zijiu has been in the center for a long time, and the sea has been up and down for many years, and he was completely unmoved by Cao Rong's displeasure, and asked: "To the south, does Your Majesty want to attack the Shu thieves or the Wu thieves first?" Or two thieves at the same time? ”

"The Shu thief is weak, kill him first!" Cao Rong said categorically without thinking.

Cao Rong's words were fierce and excited, and he couldn't wait to immediately wave his army to the south, stop the military with Ge, calm the world, and expose his young and restless heart. But Sun Zi looked as usual from beginning to end, and his face did not change, obviously the city government had cultivated to an extremely deep level.

"Your Majesty wants to cut down Shu, you should know the difficulty of Shu. Emperor Xiwu was holy in the use of soldiers, the thieves of Chashu inhabited the mountains and rocks, and Wu Yu ran in the rivers and lakes, all of them scratched and avoided, did not blame the strength of the soldiers, did not fight for the anger of a dynasty, and the so-called battle was won and retreated. ”

"Your Majesty wants to use troops against Shu, the road is dangerous, and you need to plan to use elite soldiers to guard against the water thief Sun Quan in the south of the Yangtze River, and you will requisition and use 300,000 soldiers. It is bound to cause a commotion in the world, and the effort is vast, and the money and food are incalculable, and His Majesty should be deeply concerned about this city. ”

"Then I will go down to Wu Lu first! The Shu thief is weak, so I don't need to display all the soldiers to guard against him. Cao Rong resolutely changed his words again

This time it was Liu Fang's turn to answer: "Wu thief and southern water conservancy, attached to the great river natural danger, the first emperor Emperor Wen made several expeditions to the south, crossed the river without a solution, and returned in vain, but was defeated by Jiangling. If Your Majesty fights again, the ministers will worry about your Majesty. ”

"This can't be, that's not okay, Erqing will teach me to sit in China!" Cao Rong flicked his sleeves and stomped up in anger.

Seeing that the emperor was furious, Sun Zi and Liu Fang hurriedly got up and accused: "The ministers ask Your Majesty to take a break from the wrath of the thunder, the ministers mean that Sun Quan is heroic, Zhuge Liang is a hero, and Wu Shu is in danger and the people are attached, so it is not appropriate to rush to raise troops." ”

"The power of attack and defense is the most labor-saving to defend. Your Majesty only needs to divide the general to guard the dangerous place, which is enough to shock the strong and calm the battlefield. Let the soldiers and tigers sleep, and the people will have nothing to do and recuperate. More than ten years later, Zhuge and Sun Quan died of old age, while China was winning, and the growth of Wu Shu's national strength was weak. At that time, it was as easy as digging for things in the world. ”

"Oh? Reasonable! Cao Rong turned his anger into joy and exclaimed loudly.

Cao Rong has been beautiful and intelligent since he was a child, and he is loved by Cao Cao and often raised around. Otherwise, Cao Pi would not have killed Cao Rong's biological mother Zhen Ji, and still made him the prince before his death.

At this moment, he immediately understood what Sun Zi and Liu Fang meant-to wait for change.

Cao Rong was full of confidence and said proudly: "I am only twenty-three this year, and I am still young, I can wait, and I can afford to wait." He Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan can't afford to wait! As soon as these two people became ancient, at that time, China's national strength was in full swing, and I waved my army south, sweeping Bashu and Jiangnan, and the world was decided! ”

Seeing that the emperor was convinced, Sun Zi and Liu Fang looked at each other and smiled. Although the three generations of products of the old Cao family are domineering and a little stubborn, they are smart and open-minded, and they can hear that the words of loyalty are true.

Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Liu Fang secretly gritted his teeth, suddenly took a few steps forward, and bowed down under the Danqi. Crying and proclaiming: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Shanyang is well versed in the truth that Tianlu will never end, and the emperor's order is in Wei, and he sincerely Zen the world to Emperor Wen." As a descendant of the Han family, the minister was also very pleased with the general knowledge of Shanyang. I never thought that after the collapse of the Han family's Changling and original mausoleums, no one repaired them, and the local counties and counties connived at children to trample and play on them. ”

As he spoke, Liu Fang wept bitterly and kept kowtowing: "As a descendant of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty, the minister saw that the place where the ancestors could not be rested, and the ancestral gods could not rest in peace. The ministers asked for the officer, returned the official position, and went to Changling to protect the tomb of the ancestors. ”

Changling is Liu Bang's mausoleum, and the original mausoleum is Liu Xiu's mausoleum.

Looking at Liu Fang, who was crying bitterly, Cao Rong almost forgot that the confidential minister of the Great Wei in front of him was still a member of the Han family.

Liu Fang, a native of Peijun, was the king of Guangyang in the Han Dynasty after Liu Jian.

Sun Zi on the side bowed to Cao Rong and also expressed his support: "Zhong Nisheng praised Yao and Shun Weiwei's meritorious deeds, thinking that the Chan Dynasty was the great sage's thing. The Duke of Shanyang was well aware of the fortune of poverty in the four seas, and Emperor Wen of Zen was destined to obey the mandate of heaven. The first emperor also praised the lord of the Han Dynasty, and enshrined the land of a county as the Duke of Shanyang, and did not call himself a minister. His Majesty inherited the legacy of Emperor Wen, and should treat the Han family and protect the tomb of the late Han Emperor. ”

"Well, Sun Qing's words are reasonable." Cao Rong walked down the Danqi, picked up Liu Fang, who was crying on the ground, and said solemnly: "Draft edict!" ”

When Sun Zi heard the order, he immediately sat a few times in front of him with a brush in his hand and undertook to write the edict.

The Emperor's Edict:

In the old Han Dynasty, Gaozu started a business, flourished in the light of martial arts, sought to eliminate brutality, and made great achievements all over the world, and the tomb collapsed, and the children and herdsmen practiced on it, which was not the meaning of the Great Wei Dynasty. Its surface Gaozu and Guangwu Mausoleum are a hundred steps on all sides, and the people are not allowed to cultivate and graze wood.

——The edict of the first month of the first year of Taihe

Liu Fang, who was on the side, heard the edict, hurriedly suppressed his tears, and bowed deeply to Cao Rong again, "Thank you for Your Majesty's great virtue!" ”

"Well........." Cao Rong deservedly received a gift from Liu Fang, and today Liu Fang played the collapse of the Han Emperor's mausoleum, not only did not make him disgusted, but felt that Liu Fang and Sun Zi were loyal ministers of the humerus of the Great Wei. Liu Fang loves his bloodline and ancestors so much, and he is a leopard in his tube, so he will be loyal to the Great Wei as much as he loves his ancestors.

At this moment, Cao Rong regarded Sun Zi and Liu Fang as good ministers of the humerus, and was determined to rely on them greatly, but how did he know that these two people would gain power by his side in the future, and even expelled Cao Yu, the king of Yan, when he was sick, and recommended Cao Shuang, who was a straw bag. Later, he even supported Sima Yi in the coup d'état at Gao Pingling, playing a disgraceful role.

Of course, that's for another story............
