PS: See the exclusive story behind "Han Wei Wenkui", listen to your more suggestions for the novel, pay attention to the starting point Chinese network public account (WeChat add friends - add public account - enter ddxiaoshuo can be), quietly tell me!

It was Xun who hinted to Xun Yu that whether he was in favor of Dong Zhao's suggestion or against his suggestion, or even whether the Xun clan and the Ruying faction were in favor or against, those were not important, the important thing was that the shape had arrived, and Cao Cao's further progress was the trend of the times, and it was beyond human power to reverse it.

Xun You couldn't help but sigh: "Cao Gongdu is not afraid of the slander of the world? Isn't he afraid of causing some bad associations, but causing his reputation to decline?

Shi Xun smiled slightly: "Ao Bei is the head, the earth animal is the tail, the four characters are negative, and An is afraid of it?" ”

The word "Aobei" together is a "redundant" word, "soil animal" is a cow, ugly cow, ugly cow, here refers to the second place of the twelve earthly branches of the "ugly" word. He said that the four words headed by fat and ending with ugliness are naturally "ugly and ugly" - after all, it is the Cao family, these four words are taboo and cannot be said directly. It's Xun's meaning, Cao Cao has even worn the hat of "Eunuch and Ugly" on his head for many years, does he care about any other slander?

In fact, it can't be said that Cao Cao is completely shameless, but compared with the common fake models and fake models in these years, Cao Cao does not value face very much. He even issued the "Meritocracy Order", saying that it is necessary to separate morality and talent, and I can use it as an ornament if there is virtue but no talent, and I can still appoint an official if there is talent but no virtue. Therefore, he doesn't care at all that those rotten Confucians use traditional loyalty and filial piety to restrain themselves.

Xun Yu let out a long sigh and said I understand what you mean. Then I will go back and persuade my uncle. Don't be too strong with the prime minister because of this kind of thing. so as not to get into trouble. Shi Xun pouted: "Ling Jun is loyal to Geng Jie, I am afraid it may not be as Qing wishes." "If you don't stick to your own ideas, is Xun Yu still Xun Yu? I guess it's useless for you to persuade him, he should top or top.

But I couldn't help but add one more sentence: "You can pay tribute to Ling Jun: From me, how can you do it?" ”

It was Xun who said it, and this is the Analects. The first half of the sentence on the Gongye Chang is deliberately omitted: "Zi said: 'The Tao is not good, take the pole to float on the ...... of the sea'" Confucius said that if my concept cannot be realized in the end. Then I'll just take a boat to the sea and run away - by then, I guess Zilu will be the only one who will follow me, right?

How Xun Yu died, is a mystery through the ages, Shi Xun doesn't believe in conspiracy theories, doesn't think he was killed by Cao Cao, and even Cao Cao may not imply that Wen Ruo can die, but it should be purely Xun Yu himself can't think about it, and he is worried about it. Or simply commit suicide. Yeshun thinks why bother? Life is precious, how can it be wasted? Let's talk about your concept of loyalty to the Han Dynasty. In fact, it is nothing in the context of history...... You should have expected that creating such a traitorous male Cao Cao would have a positive and negative impact on the Han Dynasty!

Xun Wenruo has been covering his ears and stealing the bell for many years, until he can't cover his eyes anymore, and it is estimated that Cao Cao will directly usurp the throne after covering it for two more days......

Shi Xun's guess was not wrong, Xun Yu came today, and he was indeed instructed by Xun Yu. The main purpose of the Xun Yu conference yesterday was to win over the relationship with the disciples of Zhengmen, and explain the reasons for his opposition to Dong Zhao's suggestion, so as to set off a new round of public opinion offensive - in terms of his original intention, he really did not intend to force Shixun to express his position. But who wanted to talk in a hurry, first Xi Yu kicked the ball to the feet of Shixun, and then Cui Yancheng was not enough and more than defeated, so he wanted to ask: "Does Hongfu think so?" "The director began to talk at length, talking nonsense about the question of the fifth-class lord, and delaying all the business. After the banquet dispersed, Xun Yu called Xun You, and the uncle and nephew smiled bitterly - how could it have ended up with such a result?

Xun You said that what he wanted to talk about, the wind he wanted to release, he couldn't negotiate, he couldn't put it out, it doesn't matter, you can find another opportunity, but if Hongfu mistakenly thinks that we are deliberately forcing him to make a statement, I'm afraid it will be suspicious - "Hongfu is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, it seems to be wide and taboo, and it may not be obvious, because we are forced, and we are afraid to help it." ”

The Ruying faction and the Qian Pei faction seem to be distinct, but after all, it is a "contradiction within the people", when there are princes on the outside and old ministers on the inside, even if the political dispute cannot reach the point of life and death, basically there is more cooperation than attack. For those martial artists of the Qian Pei faction, the Ruying faction generally respects and stays away, but for Shi Xun, it can only be respected, but it can never be far away. One is that Xun is a scholar after all, and there is the possibility of being drawn into his own camp, and the other is that Xun has a great influence on Cao Cao, and if he is single-mindedly hostile, it will damage his own forces.

Therefore, Xun's original plan was to pull Zhengmen to his side first, so as a disciple of Xun Zhengmen, it is naturally possible to gradually break away from Qian Pei and follow Ruying. How to win over Zheng Men? It is to declare the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period at the banquet and use Confucianism to refute Dong Zhao's suggestions, so that Zheng Men does not dare to express his approval - at most, the shameless Xi Wei will continue to praise Cao Cao's stinky feet. But who would have thought that if he was careless, he was recited by Shixun and the ancient book was ruined. If he completely forced Shi Xun to Dong Zhao's side because of this, I am afraid that he will take away all the mainstream factions of the Zheng Sect in turn.

That's why Xun Youcai is so worried, I'm afraid that Xun has misunderstood his original intention. Xun Wenruo lowered his head, thought about it carefully, and showed his face slightly: "Woe, blessing depends on it." Or you can take this opportunity to thank me for my sins, in order to explore the true meaning of Hongfu. "With his identity, status, and fame, of course, it is not good to go directly to the mansion to apologize to Shixun, so he sent his nephew Xun You over.

The result is that Xun still didn't make a clear statement, but just reminded Xun Yu that you can't stop this matter, so it's better not to do useless work, and it's better to touch Cao Cao's anger. Xun You couldn't help but sigh: "Gongren's move is not to love people with virtue, but to trap people with desire." ”

Hearing this, Shixun couldn't help but nod slightly. When he first received Dong Zhao's letter, he also felt a little proud that the original historical events were advanced because of his own instigation. But from the perspective of a historical observer. retreated to the position of Cao Cao's staff officer, where he currently lives. After thinking about it carefully, I felt that Dong Gongren's pattern was a little smaller, and this thing was not very authentic.

After all, Cao Cao has become the prime minister, and in terms of his dignity, he can be compared to Xiao He in the early Han Dynasty, and in terms of actual power, he can be compared to Huo Guang of the Zhao and Xuan dynasties, as long as the time is ripe. If you take a step forward, you will be able to usurp the throne, is it necessary to add any nine tins and build any principality? Wouldn't it be that step to change the country's color-changing party? Just kidding.

I think that Zhao Kuangyin will only be inspected in front of the palace, but he is just the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and he can be dressed in a yellow robe, and he will not be regarded as a usurper through the ages, but called the Ming Lord. After he carried out the coup d'état, after he was in power, did he add nine tin to himself first? Did you build a Song Duchy or a Song Kingdom first? People are still in the Song Dynasty Zhou, what's wrong?

Get to the bottom of it. may be because neither Dong Zhao nor Cao Cao is a pure martial artist like Boss Zhao. Deeply influenced by Confucianism, I pay too much attention to the matching of the name and the time - the more power I have, I must have a position that is completely compatible with it, and then even lost, thinking that only by having the corresponding position can I expand my authority. Especially Cao Cao, this person is not an ordinary politician, he is also a writer and poet, and he has some artistic atmosphere in his bones that is good to show off and like to be colorful.

Now that I've climbed to the pinnacle of the human courtiers, but it's not time to usurp the throne, how can I move forward? It doesn't matter, let's regenerate a new peak, isn't it over?

It's actually quite ridiculous to think about.

Indeed, as Xun You said, Cao Cao's power is no longer comparable, and what we need to do now is to gradually consolidate the foundation, instead of engaging in those boring tricks. Is it true that using the honor guard of the Son of Heaven and putting on the name of the Duke of Guo can greatly enhance Cao Cao's prestige? No, not only will it not, but in the minds of many people, it will inevitably equate Cao Cao with Wang Mang. Even if Xun Yu is a guy who covers his ears and steals the bell, and doesn't plan to recognize Cao Cao's step by step on the road to usurpation, he is forced to cry towards reality when he is hit by this.

That's why Xun Cai kept telling Xun You that you can't stop this, but he didn't mention whether he was in favor or against.

However, since the words have been said about this, it is Xun who just takes the opportunity to hand over the bottom more thoroughly - because of certain things, he still needs Xun's support and help. So he leaned closer to Xun You—their faces were almost together—and whispered in each other's ears: "Woe, blessing depends on us, we love virtue, but we can ease their desires." ”

Xun You frowned slightly: "I am willing to listen to the high theory." ”

Shi Xun raised two fingers: "Jiuxi matter, void, don't worry about it for the time being." That is, the feudal feudal state affairs, Xun has two words. First, Xun wants to change the official system for a long time, and if he wants to use his tools, he can do a good job and make the country prosperous. However, the official system cannot be changed, and once the principality is established, it can be changed in the country, which is the pre-emptive of the world. "I intend to use the new principality as a testing ground for bureaucratic reform, what do you think?

Xun You nodded, and couldn't help but praise in his heart: It's Hongfu who has seen far away. We were still studying how to stop this, and he saw that he couldn't stop it at all, so he began to think about it in the future. In fact, Uncle Wen Ruo and I also have the idea of reforming the official system, but one idea is not mature and I dare not do it directly, and the other is afraid that it will be too extensive and too influential, and the resistance will inevitably be not small, so I want to wait until the world is completely calm. It's a good idea to try it out in the new principality now, and in a sense, it's a good thing.

Then he asked, "What's the second?" "Yes Xun said that the second question I considered - where to seal the new principality of Cao Cao, and how big is the territory? Have you looked into this issue?

Don't say it, Xun's uncle and nephew have really discussed this issue, and they always feel that either they don't seal it, or they really want to seal the country, and Cao Cao's fief is definitely not smaller than the princes and kings. The feudal state of the princes and kings is a kingdom, and in terms of administrative divisions, it is equivalent to a county, and it can be simply said that the feudal state of the princes and kings is a county, so Cao Cao has to have several counties, or even a state. As for the place, it can't be too far away from Xudu, and of course it can't be on the edge of Xudu, the land of Hebei, or the land east of Hedong, it should be more suitable.

When he said this to Shi Xun, Shi Xun shook his head slightly: "It's not appropriate." (A pie-in-the-sky event, cool phones are waiting for you!)
