Chapter 23 Selling Fame and Reputation

The "Duke Cao" reported by Yu He certainly does not refer to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao must be honored as "King of Wei" at this time. In addition to Cao Cao, for Shi Xun, there are only three people who can be called "Gong" with the surname Cao in these years, that is, Cao Cao's brother Cao De, and Cao Hong, Cao Bao's brothers.

Cao De saw that he was in Xudu, and Cao Hong returned to Xuzhou, and the "Cao Gong" in Anyi was naturally Cao Bao, the emperor of Wei State.

There is a wall between Shifu and Caofu, and the two families move around very frequently. is also an important minister of the Wei family, even if it is a relative of Weng's son-in-law, it is usually not convenient to enter and exit from the gate often, but if the wall is opened and private contacts are exchanged, others will not be clear, and there is no gossip to talk about. Cao Bao only has one daughter, Cao Miao, although later under Cao Cao's arrangement, he adopted a child of the same clan as an adopted son, but the adoptive father and son are not close, and they still see Tian'er running to their son-in-law's house, which is Xun has long been accustomed to it.

In fact, Xun himself has a good relationship with the new cheap brother-in-law, and the reason is that although this kid is not very old at the moment, he has just reached the crown, and his future prospects are limitless. I think when Cao Bao mentioned this matter to Shi Xun, Shi Xun asked: "The sons of the Cao family, I am not familiar with it, I don't know what branch is named?" "Cao Bao said that it was introduced by Cao Cao, and it is a branch from my great-grandparents, the son of Cao Shao, whose name is Cao Zhen.

Ah, it's Xun Xin who said it's Cao Zidan! To say that the second generation of the Cao family, in addition to Cao Cao's sons, the most capable is Cao Zhen Cao Zidan, later as a general, President Kansai Military, Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan, and he blocked it back. In the romance, in order to deify Zhuge Liang and highlight Sima Yi. depicts Cao Zhen as quite mediocre. In fact, if it comes to military talent. He's not under Sima Zhongda.

Cao Bao asked for Shi Xun's opinion, saying that I should accept this adopted son or not? It's Xun Nai who pouts with all his might: Accept it, you must collect it! After that, he met Cao Zhen a few times, and knew that this kid liked to fight, so he did what he liked, and when it came to military affairs, it was really easy to get closer to the relationship between his brothers. But later, Xun also pondered, Cao Zidan was originally a generation younger than Cao Cao. is the same generation as Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, so he has become the same generation as Cao Cao...... How can I say this, history has really changed beyond recognition......

Pull back and say that since Cao Bao has a small door on the wall, he can enter and exit the mansion at will, so he ran all the way to the door of Shixun's house, and he just reported it, which is not surprising - when the old man comes to see his son-in-law, must he still be at the gate of the courtyard. Wait for the report?

And it was Xun Cai who said that he would greet him in person, so Cao Bao took the initiative to push the door and break in. Then he bowed his head to everyone in the house - because he often came and went, he was familiar with Guan Jing and Xiao Ji, so he just asked: "When will Kong Ming return to the capital?" ”

Everyone hurriedly saluted, and it was Xun who let Cao Bao sit down. Cao Bao waved his hand: "Close the door, close the door." Then he turned to Shixun: "What did Hongfu see about today's uplift?" He knew that Guan and Xiao were both Xun's henchmen, and Zhuge Liang was Xun's most beloved disciple, so he didn't shy away from them, so he asked questions directly.

Shi Xun smiled slightly bitterly: "I'm waiting for Shiqi, Yuantu and so on." Cao Bao said let me tell you, so he described in detail the matter of Duan Bian's claim that Heaven warned him and forced the prime minister to resign, and then asked: "Qing and others are planning for my son-in-law, what is this Chen Changwen planning?" ”

Guan Jing shook his head: "But it's not like it." His reason is the same as that of Shixun, even if Chen Qun covets the position of prime minister, there is a more secure way to rise, and he can't afford to send a Duan flaw to hug a large piece of a stick and offend too many people.

Shi Xun asked Guan Jing: "It's groundless, isn't it for nothing, and Qing and the others have never heard of it before?" "Didn't you hear the wind beforehand? Xiao Ji also shook his head, saying that because of this, it didn't seem like someone was instructing, but it seemed that Duan Fang had a temporary intention to gain a straight name for himself-

"I heard that this person is easy to argue, and he often quarrels with his colleagues in the department, and he is pretentious and upright, but he really doesn't understand the world." That's a big troll, who catches and sprays whom, so it's not surprising that today he sprinkled a group of people who sprayed a country wildly.

Everyone pondered it repeatedly, but they couldn't get the point. Shi Xun found that Zhuge Liang had been hanging his head down, twisting his beard that was not thick, and was silent for a long time, so he deliberately named: "Kong Ming has nothing to think about?" ”

Zhuge Liang raised his head at this time, first glanced at Shi Xun, and then looked around at everyone present: "Liang Shi returned from other states, and the affairs of the court are safe and sound?" He has never had any contacts, and it is difficult to calculate. Ran ......" paused slightly, and then said: "What Liang thinks is not the root cause, but what it affects." ”

What do you mean by this? "Those who are affected by it are also", do you think that this matter is not over yet, and there is still a follow-up? Zhuge Liang nodded: "The right person Cao Gongyan, the King of Wei is to blame, stop the public resignation, but he can't resign?" Mr. think about it, what will Xun Gongda, Mao Xiaoxian, and Liang Bofang do after they return to the house? ”

The six phases of the Wei State are listed in order: Zhongshu Ling Shixun, Shangshu Ling Xun You, Yushi Dafu Mao Jue, Zhongshu Left Servant Shot Liu Ye, Shangshu Left Servant Shot Liangmao and Yushi Zhongcheng Wang Lang. Among them, Zhuge Liangguang mentioned the names of the three people, asked Shixun, and said that according to their temperament and behavior, estimate what they will do when they return to the mansion today in response to the things of the court?

When Shixun heard this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Mao Jue and Liang Mao have always been Geng Jie, and they are not greedy for fame, if they don't talk to Liu Ye, they will go to someone to discuss first, but they will be stopped, maybe they will write a resignation, and Ming'er will be handed into the palace early in the morning. There is also Xun Yu, he is not very keen on the position of Shang Shuling, and he is more strict in evaluating that Xun Yu's master Shangshu is far worse than his uncle Xun Yu, so Xun Gongda once revealed to Shi Xun in private, saying that he is willing to be Zhang Liang, not Xiao He and Chen Ping.

What is the difference between Xiao, Zhang, and Chen, who were heroes in the early Han Dynasty? That is, Zhang Liangchun served as a staff officer, planned for Liu Bang with wisdom, and when the world was decided, he resigned; And Xiao He and Chen Ping, they have all been prime ministers in the peaceful years, and they have commanded hundreds of officials. Therefore, Xun You's meaning is very clear, he himself is suitable for the chief of the general staff, not for the appropriate prime minister.

Therefore, Xun You will not fall in love with the stack, and may return home. I also wrote down the reciprocal resignation. Although Cao Cao has already retained. But the officialdom at this time. It is necessary to repeatedly make superficial articles, such as "three bows and three concessions", or "three resignations and three stays" - I think that a while ago, Xun pretended to resign and stayed at home for three days, and Cao Cao gave two consolation orders successively, so he was "retained".

From this point of view, since there is no intention of falling in love, then Xun, Mao, and Liang are likely to make enough of the drama. Repeat the resignation. After all, above the court today, whether the ministers resigned, or Cao Cao's gentle words and comfort, they were all oral articles.

Thinking of this, Shi Xun couldn't help but smile bitterly and asked Zhuge Liang: "I should also be a player, please resign?" ”

Zhuge Liang said of course, if no one quits, you can quit. If someone else speaks, you don't do anything here. Or a beat slower than them, so how will Shilin view you? Zhuge Liang and Shixun are very close in terms of personality, that is, they are extremely famous - of course, Yesun is based on fame, which is almost a reputation for fame, but Kong Ming is a pure minister in his bones - so he can point to the key point of Xun in a word.

Shi Xun couldn't help but sigh: "It's no good to sell your name like this!" "It's really frustrating to do this kind of superficial article, but you have to do it.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang not only did not echo it, but reminded Shi Xun: "What do you say, sir?" Thought that Liang asked Mr. to play in order to be famous? No, please Mr. resign from his position. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, but before Shi Xun could react, Cao Bao asked first: "What did Kong Ming say?" How can it be true?! ”

Zhuge Liang smiled faintly, and looked at Xun: "Liang first returned, that is, Mr. Wenguan, Mr. Xiao Er's words and Mr. 's calamity, today's resignation, can you get rid of this calamity, isn't it appropriate?" ”

Cao Bao was confused and asked, what do you mean? What is the "calamity"? Shi Xun couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, but Xiao Ji quickly took over the conversation and told Cao Bao and Pan about Kong Rong.

Then Zhuge Liang said that if you want to avoid Cao Cao and kill Kong Rong, the best way is to leave Anyi and go elsewhere, because the means of communication are underdeveloped, you can't get the news in time, so it is logical that you will not be suspected and slandered. Question: As Zhongshu Ling and the prime minister of Wei, don't you want to flash people - didn't you want to go out to level the Hugong rebellion in Hukou, wasn't you beaten back by Cao Cao? This kind of thing can never be repeated, if you repeatedly discuss the flash person, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of Cao Cao or others.

Now, taking advantage of Duan Fang's pressure on the prime ministers to resign, isn't it a good opportunity to leave office? You have already resigned once after being implicated by Zeng Ergou, and now even if other prime ministers refuse to resign, you must make a gesture of resignation, and if they resign, your attitude must be more firm. Theoretically, even if the prime minister resigns, the state may also give him a dismissal and still stay in the center, but you can refuse it, and you must also express that you want to return to your hometown.

The past and the present, as long as the attitude is resolute enough, then even the King of Wei will not be able to keep you, and it will be easy to block the mouth of the people by taking the opportunity to flash people. andβ€”

"If Duan Sique is made by others, Guan Gong and other successors can be known."

If Duan Fang simply bit the prime ministers and sprayed wildly, then forget it, if there is indeed someone behind him, then since even Guan Jing and Xiao Ji can't figure out the mastermind behind the scenes, I naturally can't speculate. However, as long as you observe the new promotion after the old prime minister leaves office, the black hand will naturally be exposed - if there is no ability to advance, what is the point of knocking the old prime ministers out of power first?

Shi Xun pondered Zhuge Liang's words carefully and was silent for a long time. In the end, Zhuge Liang woke him up with another word: "Mr. has to hold the book in his hand, and he is more than two years old." However, since the beginning of the establishment, the three princes have been in power for a long time, how many Xi? (To be continued......)

PS: Yesterday, a friend pointed out that Jin Xuan is the father of Jin Yi, and the former Jin Yi participated in the Geng Ji rebellion, how could Zhuge Liang still propose to let Jin Xuan stay as Wuling Taishou for the time being? This was indeed my mistake, and I apologize to my readers. In real history, after Jin Xuan's rebellion was killed in battle or returned to Liu (judging from Geng Ji and others who wanted to welcome Liu Bei in the south, it is estimated that Jin Xuan surrendered to Liu, but it may be for the safety of his family and his family, falsely claiming to have died in battle), and there will be no similar contradictions.
