Chapter 30 Cao Pi's shortcomings
Why does Cao Pi urgently need someone like Liu Ye? The reason is only two words, complementary. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Like Liu Ye, Cao Pi also has self-knowledge, as for knowing people, because of the family history in his previous life, it is indeed good, so Cao Pi knows very well what he needs.
Now Cao Pi needs three things: an eye to see things, a knife to kill, and a code to govern people.
The so-called eye of seeing things means the overall situation, which is not to say that Cao Pi does not have the overall situation, on the contrary, if there is anyone who has the most overall situation in this chaotic era, it is definitely Cao Pi, because Cao Pi can clearly know the trajectory of historical development.
The overall situation that Cao Pi needs is the overall situation in the microcosm, that is, what Cao Pi should do and how to do it in every event and every time node, so that he can always be in a favorable position. To put it bluntly, Cao Pi's strongest killer now is not hybrid rice, but he knows the direction of history, because of his identity as Cao Cao's eldest son, he has no shortage of opportunities to change history, but is it good for himself to change history? You must know that if you change history, a series of butterfly effects will appear, and he will mean that his most powerful killer weapon will fail. Therefore, whether to change it or not, and when to change it, are particular.
For the trade-offs and predictions of the development of events after the change of history, Cao Pi is not even as good as an ordinary person, because Cao Pi already has an established historical trajectory memory in his heart, and a series of unpredictable changes will occur after the history is changed, and all the people involved will make different choices. For example, if he finds an opportunity to kill Liu Bei now, he doesn't know how things will develop.
But Liu Ye is different, first, he is a contemporary, and he is a famous family, which shows that this person has rich experience in mainstream social life, and his prediction of things is definitely stronger than Cao Pi. Second, he is a scholar, and he is a smart scholar, as can be seen from the fact that he does not use the royal title to toss and choose to take refuge in Cao Cao like Liu Bei, this person is self-aware and knows how to protect himself. Cao Pi needs to be a person who can see the essence of things, compared to Cao Pi, he understands the mentality of contemporary people better, whether it is a big person or a small person, and Cao Pi can only judge a person from the behavior in the historical record. Whether the historical record is right or wrong, who knows?
And the knife of killing is ruthless and decisive. Cao Pi is very clear about his weaknesses, that is, his heart is not ruthless enough, he is a modern person who lives in a legal society and enjoys a peaceful, stable and fair social mechanism, no matter how he has a family background, it is limited to intrigue, to rise to murder and arson, not that he Cao Pi does not dare, but his life experience leads to his mindset that he is destined to give priority to wisdom in intrigue and intrigue, which is the common mindset of all people living in a legal society. But now is the end of the Han Dynasty, the end of the Han Dynasty, the world is in turmoil, sometimes there is no need to fight wits at all, five hundred knife and axe hands plus the number of cups can solve many problems, the key is how to master this degree, when to kill, when not to kill, Cao Pi is affected by modern thinking, it is difficult to make accurate judgments.
But Liu Ye is different, from the time he killed people at the age of thirteen to the design of killing local bullies, it is enough to prove that he has the character of killing decisively, he is definitely not soft when he should kill, and he is still alive and well after killing, which shows that this person knows who can kill. This is also what Cao Pi needs.
As for the canon of governing people, Cao Pi thought of the Chen family in Yingchuan, and it can be seen from the Chen Chen he knew and the Chen Qun recorded in history that the Chen family was a typical representative of this era and even until the Sui Dynasty, that is, the representative of the thinking of the world. First home, then the world. For example, Chen Qun's nine-product Zhongzheng system paved all the roads to the feet of the family, and almost cut off the ambition of all the poor scholars.
In Cao Pi's view, Liu Ye is actually a representative of the world, otherwise he would not have subordinated to the title of the emperor's relatives and the identity of the local family, and he did not think about using his own strength to revive the Han family, and also went to seek refuge in others, this is a typical mentality of the family, which is no different from the Yingchuan Chen family.
But Liu Ye and the Yingchuan Chen family are a little different after all, that is, Liu Ye has the blood of the Han family after all, which is destined to him and other big clans with the same family mentality can not go together, the history is Cao Pi ascended the throne, the founding name is Wei, the implementation of the nine-product Zhongzheng system to elect officials, the nine-product Zhongzheng system has a family name evaluation grade standard, the surname Liu, as the first surname of the previous dynasty, it is absolutely impossible to get a high grade, so in this regard, Liu Ye and the Chen family and other families are opposites.
The history of Cao Pi founded the country, relying on the strength of the local clan, and finally Cao Wei himself was replaced by the local clan, the current Cao Pi does not want to encounter this situation again, but the current reality is that the scholars are all in the local clan, and even most of the generals who can fight are also from the local clan, and the culture and martial arts need education, and there can be a few self-taught people, so now the power of the ruling clan is indispensable, but it needs to be checked and balanced, how to check and balance? That is to erect opposing classes within the local clans, Liu Ye's clan blood is an irreconcilable contradiction with the local clans, although he alone cannot fight against the world's clans, but as long as he is given enough convenience and rights, with his wisdom and ruthlessness, he will naturally find allies to follow, and the two sides can continue to suffer from internal friction, which is what Cao Pi hopes to see the most.
Although all this seems far away, Cao Pi already has a prototype in his mind. He doesn't want to be the Cao Pi in history, he wants to be a different Wei Emperor, a unique Wei Emperor.
The eye of seeing, the knife of murder, and the code of rulers. It's just part of the plan he thinks about day and night after the crossover, and in addition, he has a lot of ideas and plans that need to be perfected step by step.
But now, right in front of him, the most important territory in these three plans has appeared in front of him, in front of this low-ranking and very young Han clan member, Cao Pi needs this person to be his staff with all his heart, not Cao Cao's, originally Cao Pi thought that he had no chance to meet this person, but he didn't expect Xiahou Yuan to send this great opportunity to himself, so he had to grasp it! No matter what it takes!
"Cao Cao hates forming a party for personal gain, how can I establish contact with him and let him follow me?"
"Courtesy, sir." Cao Pi also made a big return salute, and a recruitment plan gradually took shape in his mind.
