Taizhong doctor Kong Rong, in the past two years, has taken it as his responsibility to pick Cao Cao's mistakes, and often refuses to speak out, he has to turn around, and at the same time insult Cao Cao's personality and IQ.

To say that Cao Cao at this time has not yet fallen to the point of being stubborn and self-serving in his later years and unable to listen to correct opinions, and he also hopes that a few guys will jump out from time to time to sing the opposite tune, so as to show his tolerance and whitewash the "democracy" of the imperial court, so as to announce to the people of the world: I am an important minister, but not a powerful minister.

In this regard, Xi Hongyu did a good job, he took his late teacher Zheng Xuan as an example, and often stood up against Cao Cao's governance, but basically he scolded and helped a lot, so Cao Cao's favor for Xi Xuan is increasing day by day. Kong Rong is different, for example, a few days ago, he wrote a new article to evaluate Ban Gu's "Book of Han", which said that many chapters in the "Book of Han" copied the "Historical Records", but the result was false, Sima Qian wrote wrong, Ban Gu was also wrong.

What was wrong with Ma and Ban? Kong Rong gave several examples, one of which was that Emperor Wen once asked the two prime ministers, "The geometry of the one-year-old prison in the world" and "The geometry of the one-year-old Qiangu in and out of the world", Zhou Bo couldn't answer, he was sweating profusely, but Chen Ping replied: "Your Majesty Xià is to ask about the prison, and blame Tingwei; Ask Qian Gu and blame Su Neishi. "Relevant questions should be asked to the relevant departments, and we will not care about the details of the prime minister.

Kong Rong said that the record was wrong, and after my own research, Chen Ping's original words should be: "Your Majesty immediately asks for prison and stabs adulterers; Ask Qian Gu and blame Dongcao. ”

The full name of the assassination is "Assassination Order History", which was originally a law enforcement officer in the army, and Wang Mang set up left and right assassins in the central government. Assassins were also set up in the fiefs of the princes. Supervisory power. After Cao Cao became prime minister. This position was also added to the Prime Minister's Office to be in charge of prisons. In fact, in a sense, the assassination and school affairs are two sets of teams, one brand, when they were in the army, one was called "Assassination Order History", and the other was called "Fujun Captain", which was replaced by a subordinate official of the Prime Minister's Office. All of them fall under the category of "Assassination Orders", but the responsibilities are slightly different - the school is responsible for investigating secrets, impeaching officials, and searching for criminals, while the assassination is responsible for judging cases reported by the school.

As for the "Dong Cao" mentioned by Kong Rong, it refers to "Prime Minister Dong Cao Peng". In addition to the auxiliary officials such as the Prime Minister's Division, the Prime Minister's Long History, and the Prime Minister's Zhengshi, the specific affairs are managed by Cao, the most important of which are the East and West Cao, each responsible for more than a dozen sub-departments including the Discussion Cao, the Ci Cao, and the Fa Cao. Among them, the main household of Nongsang, the main Canggu, and the main coin, salt and iron, that is, the relevant financial and taxation departments, are under the jurisdiction of Dongcao.

That's why Kong Rongcai said that Chen Ping's original words were: If His Majesty wants to ask about the trial, let's go to the assassination Ling Shi. If you want to ask about finances, go to Prime Minister Dong Cao Peng - in a word. You have to ask the prime minister's team, not the serious officials.

What did he mean by that? He was clearly satirizing Cao Cao's internal and external powers, completely emptying the court, and turning his own prime minister's mansion into a small court. Do you think Cao Cao won't be angry when he hears this?

Cao Cao was so angry on the spot that he was sick with a headache, and he was gritting his teeth and cutting off business with the lobby, and caught up with Shi Xun to patrol the sea and Xu Erzhou, and came to restore his life. Cao Cao immediately remembered, you are the former official of Kong Rong, and he couldn't help but glared at Shi Xun, and said idly, isn't it your late master Kong Rong who made me angry?

Shi Xun was not surprised, nor did he clear it, he just smiled faintly and said You hate Kong Rong so much, in that case, why don't you just kill him?

Cao Cao and Cao Zheng were shocked when they heard this. Cao Cao said that others persuaded me to kill Kong Rong, which is understandable-Xi Wei said it behind his back, not once or twice-but you Hongfu can't say that. Whatever Kong Rong says, it's also you...... At least it's the old master of your parents, although we all hate the protégé and the old official, but the wind is like this, and it's not easy to wring it thoroughly. If I want to kill Kong Rong, not only can you not approve, but you also have to pretend to admonish a few words, at least keep your head shut and don't speak, why haven't I said anything, but you took the initiative to kill Kong Rong? Do you want to be shameless, do you want your reputation?

Cao Cao gasped in pain, lowered his face and asked Shixun: "What does Hongfu mean by this?" If you kill Kong Wenju, what good will it do to you? "What's in it for you?

He originally thought that Shixun would say: It's not good for me, but it's good for you, the lord, I'm loyal-of course, with Shixun's status and level, the words won't be so straightforward. But who would have thought that Shi Xun said: "If the lord kills Kong Gong, then Xun can be a young Confucian, and his name will be passed down through the ages, and it will be useless?" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Qing is not afraid of Zhu Bohou and Cai Bohao?!" ”

It is Yun Youru mentioned by Xun, with a single name and an open character, who once studied "Shangshu" under Dr. Wu Zhang. During the period of Emperor Ping of the former Han Dynasty, Wu Zhang was killed because of his opposition to Wang Mang, and his body was abandoned in Chang'an East City, and more than 1,000 protégés scattered in a hurry, and they all changed their names and surnames to vote for another famous teacher, only Yun Chang, who was Situ Peng at that time, took the initiative to bury Wu Zhang, and passed down the name of the eternal virtuous.

So what Xun means, Cao Cao, if you kill Kong Rong, then I, as Kong Rong's half-pulled "old official", just went to bury him, but I can win a good name in Shilin, how can I say that it is not good?

Yun Chang's ending was relatively good, because of the matter of risking death to bury Wu Zhang, Wang Shun, the general of the chariot cavalry, was deeply moved, not only did not treat him for his crimes, but recommended him to be a counselor. After Wang Mang perished, he served as the imperial historian of the first emperor, and finally died of illness at home.

Therefore, Cao Cao said don't talk about it, you just remember a Yunchang, how many lucky people can be like him? Don't you remember the fate of Zhu Zhen, Zhu Bohou, Cai Yong, and Cai Bojiao? Zhu Zhen buried Chen Fan and harbored Chen Fan's son Chen Yi, but was tortured to death by the eunuchs. Cai Yong ran to cry Dong Zhuo, but was arrested and imprisoned by Wang Yun, and was directly killed. Do you dare to cry Kong Rong? Are you a good person and let me bear my notoriety? I slaughtered you, believe it or not?!

It was Xun Xin who said of course I believe it, and that's what I'm afraid of. He knew that Kong Rong would have an accident sooner or later, and it would be difficult for him to do it at that time, so ignore it, for fear that his reputation would be damaged, he would desperately discourage him, or go to cry for the corpse, Cao Cao would definitely not spare himself. So simply, I'll start with the first thing - and he racked his brains before he remembered Yun Chang's example.

The example of Zhu Zhen and Cai Yong is Xun of course remembers, but he can't say it - because the end is very bad. In fact, in a similar situation, there is another person who is not dead like Yun Chang, that is, Hu Teng, a native of Guiyang who buried Dou Wu, but he was imprisoned. However, after thinking about it carefully, Hu Teng and Zhu Zhen have a common characteristic, that is, the guys they risked to die for burial were all killed by eunuchs - Cao Cao is the most taboo about this, he can mention Zhu Zhen himself, but Xun can never say Hu Teng.

Taking YunChang as an example, this is not a big problem. Is Wang Mang the traitor referred to by Qianfu? In the Han Dynasty, of course, it was, but Wang Mang was also the same as Cao Cao, the first to be a powerful minister, is Xun This is also turning a corner to remind Cao Cao that you already have the potential of Wang Mang usurping the throne, I hope you can go one step further like Wang Mang. Although Wang Mang's fate and reputation are not very good, maybe Cao Cao is quite willing to compare himself with Wang Mang in his heart - as long as he doesn't end up like him.

——From the fierce general Xiang Yu, the overlord of Bixi Chu, he doesn't care how the overlord died, because the comparison is only martial arts, and everyone will think that if I am replaced as the overlord, there will definitely be nothing wrong with Liu Bang.

Cao Cao scolded Shi Xun, but Shi Xun just smiled slightly, and didn't care. His relationship with Cao Cao is relatively iron, as long as the examples he finds are not taboo, it is harmless to make such a little joke. Besides, he is Hongsuke and he doesn't usually have a straight face, he never jokes, if this guy with no humor cells talks like this, Cao Cao will doubt his true intentions, it is Xun who says this, Cao Cao will definitely not take it seriously.

But Cao Zheng was afraid that Cao Cao would take it seriously, so he hurriedly persuaded him: "My uncle is joking, and my uncle is angry." Cao Cao pointed at Shixun and said to Cao Zheng, why did he make such a joke when I had a headache, so he wasn't afraid of making me angry to death? Shi Xun put on a high hat in time: "The lord is generous and benevolent, and there will be no true anger." The joke mentioned above is just for relief. "I just want you to laugh and forget about the headache. By the way, I said: "Xun has visited the famous doctor Hua Tuo, and he will go to Xu in the near future, and it is expected that he will be able to cure the old illness of the lord." ”

What did Cao Cao say, did you help find Hua Tuo? I found a Fan Ah in Shouchun before, and I regretted it, I didn't get sick at the time, so I didn't think of looking for him for treatment, and I looked for it when I got sick, and I didn't know where he went. I heard that Hua Tuo is Fan A's teacher, presumably his medical skills are even more superb, great, Hongfu, you have a heart, then I will wait for him to come......

Wait, don't try to change the subject. Do you really build yì me to kill Kong Rong? This bastard is so angry that I don't take it lightly, what do you think I should do with him?

Shi Xun said: "Kong Gong is well-known in the world, how can he kill without permission? If the lord doesn't remember the past to kill the border, then Yanzhou is the opposite? The world is undecided, Encore invites evil voices? Although, they are all famous and famous, but since An, Shun, Shi are all a party than Zhou, referring to black as white, people are confused, that is, clearly declare their crimes, but do not believe it...... "The so-called celebrities, most of them are blown out, but the customs are like this, even if Kong Rongzhen's crimes are extremely evil, you review all his crimes, and list them one by one, it may not be able to win the trust of people, if you kill him, you will attract notoriety." Be cautious, Lao Cao.

Cao Cao interrupted Shi Xun and said, "Do I have to continue to put up with that bastard?"

Shi Xun said: "If you don't see each other, why not let it go?" ”

Cao Cao said what can that bastard do? If you really want to be released to be a magistrate, the official is even more angry when he is small, and he may not say what I am, the official must make trouble when he is big. Shi Xun smiled slightly: "Why don't you send Kong Gong to Xiangyang to hang Zhao Qiqing?" (To be continued......)
