Regarding Xun You's "three can't stand", Shi Xun put forward a counter-argument, he said that I don't dare to say who can, but for who can't, there are different opinions: "'The son-in-law can't stand in the house', it is about etiquette and law, and the minister does not dare to discuss it." However, "children can not stand in the grandson" is not inevitable, the former Han Dynasty Zhao Emperor, the children are there, Huo Guang first abolished Changyi, is the establishment of Emperor Xuan - Emperor Xuan, the grandson of Emperor Wu Prince, Emperor Zhao is also a grandchild, and then can eventually succeed to his unification, into the 'rule of Zhaoxuan'......

"Sanyun's 'crown is immature', isn't Emperor Xuan childish? is not a son-in-law, Emperor Wu stood up fiercely, and the Han Dynasty was revived because of this. Therefore, Xun You's last two "unstandable" can find counter-evidence, and the results are not bad.

When Cao Cao heard this, he was silent. Cao De immediately retorted: "Hongfu's words are unreasonable. Zhaoxuan Shengjun can change the government of Emperor Wu, rest with the people, and finally achieve a great cause, and it is not possible to be reasonable...... "This is a grandson, a child, the result is quite good, it is just an accident, and it cannot be used as a lesson for future generations."

Moreover, "Emperor Zhao is smart by nature, and he can break Liu Dan's plan at the age of fourteen, if not, Huo Guang will be killed, and the Han Dynasty will be in chaos, how can he get the 'rule of Zhaoxuan'?" ”

Yes Xun said that most children are indeed ignorant, but adults may not necessarily be sensible: "I think that Zhao and Xuan have Huo Guangfu to help them, but they can change the government of Emperor Wu and achieve great causes." Ran Yin has Jizi and Bigan, Wu has Wu Xu, Zhao has Li Mu, and his king is not the champion? And none of them can use goodness, but cause the country to perish. ”

Cao Cao interjected and said I still don't understand what Hongfu means by what you mean, do you mean that "the king must be virtuous, and he will stand by choosing the virtuous", or do you want to say that he must choose the auxiliary minister well and be the backer of the young master? Yes Xun shook his head and said that it was not-

"The minister's meaning. The concubine is in accordance with the law of etiquette and cannot be shaken, and if it is shaken, the order is chaotic and the people are lost. However, children and grandchildren, the eldest and younger, are insignificant, and it is difficult to judge between virtuous and unscrupulous. As for the auxiliary ministers, there are Huo Guangsi and Sang Hongyang. There are Shangguan Ji, Hongyang and others who do not want to seek power, in order to harm the light, for the government of Emperor Keshaowu, and they are unwilling to rest with the people......"

Sang Hongyang and Huo Guang competed for power, not only out of greed for power, the key is that his governing philosophy is still the same as that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his prime, which is completely contrary to Huo Guang, who adheres to the policy of Emperor Wu in his later years and the people's recuperation, so there will be contradictions between the two factions. and then made a big basket of coups - "The auxiliary minister is the only one, I am afraid that he will abuse power; The ministers are not in harmony, or they are in turmoil. This person should be good at choosing his auxiliary, but it is not what the minister wants. ”

So what do I think about the heir? "The minister tastes and reads history, and the country is like a bottle, and the bottle is a person with a big mouth and a deep belly and a small neck. Therefore, every one who often folds, the neck also. Such as a magnificent entrepreneurship. People dare not rebel, the second is either no virtue, or no talent, or no authority, or easy to be confused, chaotic and cute. Yin has Taijia, and Yi Yin lets it go; Zhou Youcheng Wang, Guan and Cai rebelled; Qin Zhi II. The world is falling apart; When Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, Zhu Lu usurped several times. If it is peaceful, the country will last for hundreds of years, and if it cannot be leveled, it will die if it is Qin. ”

It's what Xun said. It is the so-called "second bottleneck" problem in later generations. So what is the cause of this problem, and how can it be avoided? He explained: "The second king of the country is not as good as the founder, but there is no sage, and there is no ignorance. And there will be chaos, Hoyah? For the system is not finished. Time changes, the system changes, the beginning is rough, long and stable, from rough to stable, its chaos is born. It is the late minister who has been working diligently to improve the system since His Majesty was the Duke ......of Wei, and this is exactly what it means."

turned a corner to show his own merits, and then said: "Whoever is the heir, Your Majesty's family affairs, and those who are ministers should not speak falsely; What system is used, this state affair, the minister will be wholeheartedly obtuse, for His Majesty. ”

As an important minister of Wei, of course, I should do my best in system building, but as for who you will inherit the throne to, I can't say anything - as long as it is not too outrageous, it is better for me to keep my mouth shut.

When Cao De heard this, he nodded again and again: "What Hongfu said is true." "So I don't make it clear who I support, the emperor, you can do it yourself.

Cao Cao couldn't laugh or cry a little, so he immediately asked: "If I choose, are you willing to serve your life wholeheartedly?" "No matter which son I eventually pass on to the throne, will you be able to serve him as faithfully as you serve me? Cao De and Shixun hurriedly bowed down and said - this is not nonsense, it is a must!

Cao Cao sighed lightly and said that since you don't want to say more, then I can't force it too much, let's talk about other related issues - "If you waste Zi Xiu, how to deal with it?" ”

Cao De said that if you really want to depose Cao Ang, then make him a big country and let him be honored and raised. Even if he doesn't fall into your eyes, he won't be too much at fault after all, and your father and son have always had a very strong relationship - if there is any family tragedy, it will not be good......

Cao Cao said: "I should be a good virgin cultivator, and I am afraid that the heir will not be contemptuous......"

Cao Ang's original first heir is placed there, and his political influence is also there, will my heir think he is a threat in the future? Father and son cannibalism is a tragedy, and the wall of brothers is also a tragedy after all. You gave me ideas on how to avoid tragedy?

By the way, he brought up what Xun You had told him on the sickbed: "Gongda thinks that the country of the sons should be released, so that it can be respected and raised, and it will not be involved in state affairs, but it can be harmless to the society, and it will not be jealous of the heirs-what do you think?" ”

Cao Deyi frowned and said I don't agree with what Xun You said: "If people have jealousy, they are born and carved, and jealousy is there, how can it be easier?" That is, in terms of His Majesty, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao are still there, and Ming descends to His Majesty, although he has no real power, His Majesty has no taboo? "Okay, let's not mention the dead, let's talk about the living—" Sun Quan was in Wu, like a cage, and His Majesty was always on guard. Does Your Majesty want your children and grandchildren to be like this? "Do you want your sons to live like prisoners for the rest of their lives, except for one heir? Maybe one day you'll lose your head?

"Hu Bufeng's distant country, such as the princes of Zhou Jian and the royal family of the Ping Domain......"

It was Xun who said to stop, Cao Quji, your mistake can be a big deal-"On the occasion of Yin Zhou, the system is not complete, the population is not rich, and the court controls it. However, the seal is small, such as the Hanyang Zhuji, and is incorporated into Chu; The greatness of the seal, such as Zheng, Qi, Jin, and Qin, is the hegemony of each - what is the benefit of it to the country? Caught in the former Han, the system is slightly over. The population is a little larger, and the place of division is no longer sealed. And the kings of Shandong and Jingyang, there is also the 'Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms', and Emperor Wu used the strategy of the master father to invade day by day. Finally settled down ......"

You can't say that Cao De is stupid, whether the country wants to unify the centralized power or a feudal state, has been debated for thousands of years, even in the Tang Dynasty hundreds of years later, Li Shimin once wanted to entitle the eldest grandson Wuji and other heroes as assassins, but the hereditary reckless - the name is not feudal, but the real feudalism is also. Qin Dynasty II died, and at that time, some Confucian scholars jumped out and said. This is the inevitable result of refusal to feudalize; So the Han Dynasty engaged in feudalism, first sealed different surnames, was forced to suppress them, and then sealed the same surname - but whoever wants to have the same surname is not always reliable, and soon there will be a "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms"......

Starting from Emperor Jing and Emperor Wu, the central power of the Han Dynasty began to gradually encroach on the power of the princes, and by the end of the Han Dynasty, the so-called princes and kings were like empty marquises. Just stay in the fiefdom and eat and wait for death, and occasionally engage in sacrifices. The real power is in the hands of the ministers of the kingdom and the ministers of the Hou state appointed by the central government. So some people said that if the princes with the same surname in the Han Dynasty had the strength, where would there be Dong Zhuo's chaotic government and herd separation, I am afraid that Cao Wei would not be able to replace the Han Dynasty - this is a lesson of blood and tears, and the new dynasty must learn from it.

Cao De was also influenced by this, and took the opportunity to test Cao Cao's idea for this point of view - if it is really feudal. Maybe he can also give a real territory to the principality.

And it was Xun who also knew about the afterlife, Cao Wei died for several generations, and someone proposed it, because he was too harsh to treat the same surname, so he waited until the Sima family came to power. immediately changed his path and had the same surname, but there was a "rebellion of the eight kings". Yes Xun does not agree with Cao Wei's treatment of the same surname too harshly, although Cao Pi encircled all his brothers, and the treatment was not as good as the princes and kings in the late Han Dynasty, but from Cao Zhen to Cao Shuang's brothers, they all held the power of the country - is it because of the legend that Cao Zhen's original surname was Qin, so he is not surnamed Cao?

Cao Xiu is a serious surname Cao, and Cao Pi and Cao Rong's father and son also treat him well.

The Cao family lost control and the Sima family came to power, which was the inevitable result of a combination of many factors, including Cao Shuang being too unscrupulous and having nothing to do with whether it was feudal.

Shixun advocates great unification and centralization, so this time since Cao De proposed it, he put forward the carriage and horses and opposed feudalism - "Feudalism is not beneficial to the country, it hurts the authority of the Son of Heaven, and it must not be!" He turned his head and said to Cao Cao: "Your Majesty loves Zixiu, and you will not let him be a great country and hold the military authority, and he can make an edict so that future generations will be tolerant." The system cannot be changed by one person. ”

As soon as Cao Cao heard this, this topic was really getting farther and farther away - forget it, I'll figure it out myself, it's really a mistake to come to you today. Cao Quji and Hongfu are all my important ministers and loyal ministers, but these two are cautious by nature, and they don't dare to express their opinions on the affairs of the heavenly family, and they are even inferior to Xun Gongda...... Alas, if the text is there, there must be a teaching.

When I thought of Xun Yu, who died early, I couldn't help but feel sad. So he waved his hand and ordered the two to retreat.

Cao De and Shi Xun walked out of the Jianshi Hall side by side, and it was Xun who apologized to Cao De first: "Xun was impulsive, and what he said was that he couldn't get the country because of his illness, please don't offend me." Cao De said that it is not interesting for you to say this: "Whether my words are appropriate or not, they are all for the country, how can they be private?" Then he lowered his voice: "Hongfu thinks, who can be the heir of the third son of Bian Hou?" ”

Yes Xun said I don't know, they each have their own strengths and weaknesses - "Who is the heir, only in the emperor's heart." ”

Cao De said Hongfu, you also have to think about the future of your family-"I mean that after a thousand years of Your Majesty, Hongfu can be Yiyin, for Zhou Gong, and for Huo ......" Suddenly thinking that the fate of the Huo family was not very good, he quickly swallowed the word "light" - "That is, Zhou Gong is also under control, and Cai is advised, if the prince does not believe it, it is not easy for the auxiliary ministers." ”

Yes Xun said that you are exalting me too much-"If the Zhou Gong of this dynasty, who is going to be sick?" "In terms of kinship, you can compare with Zhou Gong, I'm too far away-" Ran Taijia and Cheng Wang's establishment, how can Yi and Zhou choose themselves? The establishment of Emperor Zhao, how could Huo Guang choose himself? Huo Guang chose Changyi and Changyi was abolished, and Emperor Xuan and the Huo clan - the ministers of the troubled times chose their kings, and it was not appropriate to choose the world. ”

After thinking about it, he added: "We are good at assisting the king, and we are willing to do our best." "This is at the gate of the main hall, I don't believe that these words will not reach Cao Cao's ears, take the opportunity to show loyalty, so that Cao Cao can rest assured." (To be continued......)
