For the possibility of not rewarding great merits, Xun has long been psychologically prepared - there is no need to mention the "meritorious master", under normal circumstances, the founding hero is not afraid of human shocks, but Xun just took advantage of the situation to advance, with the crowd to defeat the outnumbered, to destroy a Sichuan secession regime, how can it be compared to the blue wisps of the road, grass to create a foundation, from a small Dongjun Taishou to the Central Plains Lord Cao Cao.

Of course, Cao Cao can suppress Shixun, but the heir may not - not to mention Cao Chao, even if he is replaced by Cao Ang, there may not be a drama, not to mention that Cao Zixiu still has to be honored as "uncle-in-law" - in order to perpetuate the society after death and the descendants are safe, eradicate the heroes in advance, which is also what the founding monarchs of the past dynasties often do. The problem is that if you look through the history books, the people who are generally slaughtered are martial artists, and it is difficult for the scribes to turn the sky upside down, so they don't have to be ruthless. Although Liu Bang once imprisoned Xiao He, didn't he finally release him too? Cao Shen also made great contributions, and he became a scribe in time, and finally enjoyed his life in peace.

Even the civil officials and military generals were killed together, and it was just the crazy Zhu Chongba, Cao Cao must not be all the way with him. First of all, Lao Zhu Ni was born with a leg, and there is no lower limit to doing things, Cao Cao is also a scholar, and he is talented in literature and art, and he has a little face. Literati may not be ruthless enough, but under normal circumstances, they only play yin, and try their best to maintain the illusion of their innocence - such as Cao Pizhi's treatment of Wang Zhong and Yu Ban in the original history, as well as the injurious cleanup of Zhang Xiu.

Secondly, Zhu Chongba's desire for power was too strong, and he was completely unwilling to divide power with others, and he even completely abolished the prime minister's team without precedent, so that the six Shangshu were directly responsible to the emperor. Although he later paid a great price for his stupidity and arrogance, he was forced to set up a cabinet of scholars to assist him, just as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up an inner court to divide the power of foreign courts. But he still has to stiffen his neck and refuse to admit his mistakes. It is decreed that future generations shall not be allowed to reinstate the prime minister. Leads to the Ariake generation. The cabinet has the power of the prime minister but not the honor of the prime minister, the government institutions are inherently deformed, the emperor treats his ministers like ants, and arbitrary and domineering kings emerge one after another......

Cao Cao knows how to make good use of people, but he does not hesitate to divide power. When he wanted to create a new government structure by himself, he was worried that Cao Cao would not be happy to seize the authority of the monarch too much; Later, the Wei Dynasty was established, and it was also afraid that Cao Cao would overthrow the structure of the principality and the kingdom era. However, it was unexpected. Cao Cao only took back part of the right to cut back in details, and generally approved of Shixun's plan.

It is estimated that Cao Cao struggled out of the bureaucratic class of the Eastern Han Dynasty and was well aware of the shortcomings of the old system, so he had a heart for change, and he could also clearly realize that a well-structured bureaucratic structure would certainly limit the power of the monarch to a certain extent, but it would be more able to make the society continue and the country be permanent. Lao Zhu does not have this vision, because he was born in poverty, and he spent the first half of his life in the grass platform team of the Red Turban Army. There is simply no concept of a rational system of government. Although he is assisted by Li Shanchang, Song Lian and others, after all, what he has heard is not as impressive as his experience.

Yes Hoon did lead the soldiers. has fought wars, including this expedition to Shu, but basically they are all phased qualifications, and they have never commanded a single soldier or horse continuously, let alone the possibility of turning it into a private soldier. Even if it is a martial artist, what is there to fear from the empty general? After Han Xin was demoted to the Marquis of Huaiyin, Liu Bang ignored it, and in the end it was a woman who did the trick......

Therefore, in order to protect his descendants, Cao Cao directly arrested Shi Xun and clicked it, and the probability was so low that it was almost negligible.

But the imprison of the crime of hard security is Xun, such as Liu Bangzhi's treatment of Xiao He, or the derogation of Xun, such as Zhao Kuangyin's treatment of Zhao Pu, the possibility still exists, and it is quite large - you must know that Lao Cao's suspicion is not under Liu Ji, and Zhao Da can't catch up. Therefore, Shi Xun had already made up his mind to dismiss the military in time, and even resign from his positions, send him, and return to his hometown to live in seclusion. At this time, it is still possible to retire, if you really mix in the court for more than ten or twenty years, what will the situation be, and how the new monarch will look at himself after coming to power, it is very difficult to say.

But he didn't expect Cao Cao to start so quickly, and before he could take the initiative to express his position, he first deprived himself of his military power and the position of captain, so he was completely stunned. Extrapolating the cause, now that I think about it carefully, perhaps Cao Cao had already begun to design this act when he appointed himself to be the commander, the purpose of which was to remove a family of important ministers for the heir in advance, so that the power could be smoothly transferred. Shi Xun felt that Cao Cao should not be able to go for too long, so he couldn't wait to blame himself - otherwise you wait for me to return to Luoyang first, what are you in a hurry!

I have to admit that at a certain moment, the word "anti" popped up in Shixun's mind. In fact, his talent is limited, and according to all kinds of difficulties and unrealities of Shu's self-reliance, he may not be able to see it, but he is likely to be carried away by a momentary sense of crisis, so he will take risks. Fortunately, there is Zhonghui's "Lessons from the Past", and there is Sima Zhao's secret words Shao Yi's words that have been passed down to future generations:

"The generals of the defeated army cannot speak bravely, and the doctors of the dead country cannot coexist with them, and their courage has been broken. If Shu has been broken, the remnants are terrified, and it is not enough to do things; The Chinese soldiers thought of their own homes and refused to go with them. If he does evil, he will destroy the ears of his people. ”

In addition, Cao Cao sent Cao Renbing into Hanzhong, just like Sima Zhao's envoy Jia Chong came in the name of helping to arrest Deng Ai in the original history.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help patting my chest and saying in my heart, "It's so dangerous." I am not wise, but I have a lesson for future generations. As the saying goes, 'with history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall'. ”

He decided that he would leave Chengdu early tomorrow morning and return to Luoyang via Hanzhong without any struggle. Cao Cao has the intention of cutting off his own power, so Chengdu must not stay for a long time, really let those old Shu scholars have any bad expectations, and then incite themselves, when the time comes, they can't tell clearly, with Cao Cao's character, in order to prevent the slightest slight, it is only possible to clean up themselves more ruthlessly. Chengdu is the so-called "place of suspicion", and staying longer will increase the danger.

As for completely calming down Shudi, this matter is not in my own hands. If there is Cao Ren's generation, there should be no major problems in the military; As for civil affairs, it can be entrusted to Zhong Daye. After Shi Xun decided to go to Hanzhong, he wanted to persuade Cao Ren to continue to trust Sima Yi - in terms of Zhongda's ability, he might not be able to calm the people's hearts, resume farming and weaving, and promote culture and education like Xun Wenruo, but whoever vainly tried to change the sky and rebel, he would definitely be able to press it as soon as possible.

To his relief, he led his troops north the next day, and arrived in Nanzheng ten days later, and Cao Ren happily agreed to his request, allowing Sima Yi to continue to be in charge of civil affairs in Shuzhong. In fact, in a sense, Cao Zixiao has a certain amount of guilt for Xun, on the one hand, Xun captured Shuzhong and then handed it over to him to govern, which is quite suspected of taking credit from others - although it is not his original intention; On the other hand, Cao Ren also thinks from time to time that in fact, he is the best candidate to lead the army to cut down Shu that day. Therefore, it is Xun who has been invited, and of course there is no refusal.

The relationship between Shixun and Zhu Cao Xiahou has always been good, and the most irreversible of them is the deceased Xiahou Yuan, the two have cooperated many times, and finally became in-laws. He and Cao Hong once had a lot of quarrels, because he persuaded Cao Cao to gradually abolish Guanjin and cut off Cao Hong's financial route; But then Xun remedied in many ways, regardless of the cost of industry and commerce, Cao Zilian's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees.

The reason for this is that the Cao Wei regime did not belong to Cao Cao alone, but Xun clearly realized that Cao Xiahou was the core force of this new regime, just like the backbone of the regime when the Western Han Dynasty was founded, and it was Xiao He, Cao Shen, Fan Xu, Xiahou Ying and other heroes of Feng and Pei counties. The reason why the Cao Wei regime weakened later was taken advantage of by the Sima clan was precisely because Cao Xiahou Jun withered, leaving only Xiahou Xuan, Cao Shuang and other wastes, as well as Xiahou Ba, who only had a short period of scenery in the romance.

The old saying was that Cao Pi suppressed the clan, so that the power was sidelined, and after the Sima family came to power, it was overkill, and the big seal had the same surname, but Shi Xun thought that this reason was not valid. Because Cao Xiahou is equivalent to a quasi-clan, at least a relative in marriage, Cao Pi and Cao Rong have always relied on it, and the military power is in their hands. It's just that the disciples are corrupt too quickly, and since Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, and Xiahou Shang passed away, they can't find a usable general to come - as for government affairs, they can't talk too much.

Therefore, if he wants to stabilize his position, Shi Xun must not distance himself from Zhu Cao Xiahou. Fortunately, one is also considered an in-law, it is more convenient for them to communicate with each other, and they are not easy to be ridiculed by the party, and secondly, Cao Xiahou is also very supportive of him Hongfu. Although it is known as Cao Shen and Xiahou Ying, after all, the family has been in decline for a long time, if it were not for Cao Teng Fenghou and Cao Song to buy officials, these two families would be permanent landlords, and no one could look at them. Although Shixun's background is not very high, as soon as he enters the Zheng Gate, he is worth a hundred times, and no matter how high the eyes of the family are, he is always polite to the scholars - at least he can be summoned to enhance the family heritage and improve the prestige of the family.

Therefore, those upstart martial artists of Cao Xiahou have to be favored by Xun, and they will inevitably be honored. Shi Xun thought that as long as there was Cao Xiahou as the Olympic aid, it would be impossible for his own power to fall to the bottom in an instant; As long as the Cao Xiahou is stabilized, this new regime has the possibility of continuing to rise. Of course, the so-called "rich but three generations", the foundation of Cao Xiahou will be exhausted sooner or later, and Cao Shuang, Xiahou Xuanzhi and others will appear sooner or later, but at that time, won't there be their own protégés and former officials on top to continue to maintain the stability of the regime?

It is precisely because of this that after Cao Ren received the honor in Nanzheng, he immediately set up a feast to entertain him. Shi Xun gave him a general description of the situation in Shuzhong and his own governance program, and Cao Ren immediately said: "I will follow the rules of Hongfu and am not good at changing the old system." "If you want Sima Yi to continue to be in charge of civil affairs, you can, no problem at all.

After the banquet, Shi Xun was about to hand over the seal letter, but Cao Ren hurriedly stopped him, saying that he didn't need to worry about it first, and he could do it tomorrow. Immediately retreated from everyone, deliberately pulled Shixun to his side, and said in a low voice: "It should not be sued immediately, but the king came here very quickly, it can be seen that the heart of loyalty can be expressed every day." I didn't think I had to hide it. The news of Cao Cao's death was immediately announced.

Shihoon was stupid on the spot. (To be continued.) )
