Cao Shuo went straight to the point and asked Sima Hui to come out of the mountain.

Sima Hui stroked his snow-white beard, smiled slightly and said to him: "I really don't like Liu Xuande's hypocrisy, but I can't go out of the mountain to help Gongzi." ”

"Why?" Cao Shuo asked.

"I'm already old, even if I go out of the mountain, I can't help my son much." Sima Hui said: "Please forgive me." ”

"The high-ranking people always sigh that there is no conscience in the world, but they don't know that Feng Tang Yi and Li Guang are difficult to seal." Cao Shuo said: "Feng Tang's talents have access to heaven and earth, but they cannot be used by the imperial court. Li Guang fought all his life and made countless military exploits, but he even dreamed of being a marquis. I often introspect myself, there are so many talents in the world, why are there only a few people around me? ”

"Did Childe figure it out?" Sima Hui asked.

"Although I don't understand it too much, I have figured out one or two of them." Cao Shuo said: "We always have too many restrictions in employing people, and we dare not let go of our hands and feet. Therefore, many virtuous people like Mr. can only die of old age in the mountains, and they have nothing to seek fame for in their lives. ”

Listening to what Cao Shuo said, Sima Hui always had an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth.

Staring at Sima Hui, Cao Shuo said: "I actually have a lot of advantages, I can use people freely, I can also treat my subordinates generously, and I know how to reflect on myself and improve myself, but I also have a small problem." ”

"Childe's little problem is that he is too boastful." Sima Hui laughed: "I have seen a lot of people, and there are really not many people who can boast as openly as Gongzi." ”

"I'm already good, why can't I boast?" Cao Shuo said: "A person who doesn't even appreciate himself, who else can appreciate him?" ”

Cao Shuo's rebuttal stunned Sima Hui.

If you think about it, there is some truth in what he said.

If a person looks down on himself, others will not be able to look down on him.

But Sima Hui felt that there was something wrong with what Cao Shuo said, but he couldn't find what the problem was.

"That's what Childe said." Unable to think of how to refute Cao Shuo, Sima Hui said: "This is indeed the truth. ”

"Only a person as outstanding as me can think of employing people in an eclectic way." Cao Shuo said: "Although Mr. is older than Pang Shiyuan and them, it is not that he has no opportunity to make achievements. Please don't shirk and go out of the mountain to help me. ”

Although Cao Shuo's words were boastful, every word he could say was sincere.

Sima Hui hesitated for a moment and said, "If Gongzi can answer one of my questions, I will go out of the mountain with you." ”

"Please sir." Cao Shuo arched his hand and said.

"What does Childe think of the world, and how does he view the people of the world?" Sima Hui asked.

"The territory that can be conquered is the world, and the people who can conquer are the people of the world." Cao Shuo didn't think about it, so he replied.

Sima Hui was stunned and asked, "Does Gongzi think that the people of the world can be conquered?" ”

"To others, the people of the world are the people of the world." Cao Shuo said: "But for me, the people of the world are the people who can be conquered. ”

"Childe treats people in the world, why is it different from others?" Sima Hui asked.

"It's simple." Cao Shuo replied: "Because I am a high-ranking person, and I am not the kind of high-ranking person who only has ambitions but no brains. What I want is the power to look down on the world, as long as one day I do it, everyone in the world will be respected by me, aren't they conquered by me? ”

"Childe's thinking is too simple." Sima Hui said: "Even if the people of the world respect the son, it may be too early to talk about conquest. ”

"It's just that it's useless." Cao Shuo said: "I not only want to lay down the country, but also instill my ideas into the heads of people all over the world." I say it's right, even if it's wrong, they will agree it's right. If I say something wrong, even if it's right, they will say it's wrong. ”

"Isn't Childe doing this to enslave the people of the world?" Sima Hui asked in amazement.

"How can it be said to be slavery?" Cao Shuo smiled: "Dare to ask Mr. What do the people of the world want?" ”

I don't know what kind of lofty argument Cao Shuo will say, Sima Hui did not answer, but asked him rhetorically: "What does Gongzi think the people of the world want?" ”

"In fact, there are several kinds of people in the world." Cao Shuo said: "Talent, talent, mediocrity and stupidity. ”

"Dare to ask Childe, what is the difference between these kinds of people?" Sima Hui asked.

"Virtuous, know the general etiquette, just like me." Cao Shuo said with a shy face: "People like this have to let them control the restraint place, or stay by my side and take charge of major affairs with me." ”

Looking at Cao Shuo, Sima Hui didn't ask anything.

He knew that Cao Shuo would definitely continue to speak.

"As for talents, they haven't been discovered much, and they have some complaints about high-ranking people, but they really have the ability." Cao Shuo said: "This kind of person, if you don't use it, you will either end up doing it badly, or you will simply go against the high-ranking person and become a pain in the skin." Therefore, these people are the most difficult and troublesome. ”

"According to Childe, mediocrity is a mediocre person who has nothing to praise?" Sima Hui asked.

"Sir's right." Cao Shuo said: "In fact, most of the people in the world are mediocre, after all, more people cannot be in high positions. Living a life of mediocrity and mediocrity, peace and stability without fighting with the world, is what most people think. For these people, as long as they are appeased, as long as they are fed and clothed warmly, and live a comfortable life, they will definitely not make trouble with those in high positions. The most simple and the best to serve is this kind of person. However, if such people are put in the position of talents, the consequences will be devastating. What is really terrible is not the inaction of officials, but the ******. What should not be destroyed is destroyed, and what should not be built is built, this is the evil result that mediocrity is in a high position and brings to the world. ”

"Childe has a point." Sima Hui nodded and said, "What do you say about stupidity?" ”

"Idiots are too easy to understand." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Mediocre talents are not willing to be mediocre, they have to do what talents should do." When they take control of the power and make the local scourge unlikely, are not such people stupid? ”

After listening to Cao Shuo's reasoning, Sima Hui laughed, and then asked him: "Gongzi divides the people of the world into several categories, how can he distinguish these people, and how can he not let talents and high-ranking people make trouble, or prevent talents from dying of old age?" ”

"It's up to my husband to help me." Cao Shuo said: "If the gentleman refuses to go out of the mountain and allows people with the ability to live in the wilderness, what I said before is just empty talk. ”

Sima Hui was stunned.

Cao Shuo said so many fallacies and heresies, it turned out that the pit that was really dug for him was waiting here......
