Chapter 8, I want to kill also
It was Xun Chaidu's intention to lead the Ji to come, and it was to consolidate the party for himself.
I want to have my protégés and former officials all over the world, but there are very few people who can really live in the house as staff, and most of them are mediocre. This is also a matter of no choice, although Shi Xun is an important minister of the Cao family, but not a minister, as far as it seems, there is no possibility of usurping the Wei family - and as far as the Wei bureaucratic system he designed is concerned, he also deliberately divides the Taiwan branch and splits the power. Therefore, it is impossible to be like when the Sima family was dominant, Jia Chong, the son of Jia Kui, and Zhong Hui, the son of Zhong Xuan, are all the children of high-ranking cadres and the second generation of nobles, but they refuse to become officials, but prefer to nest in Sima's mansion as a guest.
The protégés and disciples who were single-handedly picked up by the Xun, such as Zhang Ji, Jia Qu (Jia Kui), Sun Zi, Wu Zhen, Zhuge Liang, Guo Huai, etc., are now all awarded to the official - they are all talented people, who is willing to stay in the mansion for the rest of their lives to be a guest for Shixun? Whenever there is a chance to be alone, they all run away with joy.
Only since he Guan Shi, since he returned to the dynasty with Gongsun Zan (in fact, he was descended to Cao), he no longer had the idea of becoming a leader, so he could exert his residual heat under the repeated pleas of Shixun, and acted as the confidant of the Shi family and the master of ten thousand years. However, as Shixun's foundation expanded, Guan Jing felt that it was too difficult for him to take on the heavy responsibility alone, so he had to find some more talented people to come to help—and he eventually fell in love with him.
If Cao Ang looked down on Cao Ji and guided him back to his white body, then he had the opportunity to pull him over and help him do a few years of work first. As for the old days, each to his master. What's that little grudge? Even Guan Jing himself didn't take it to heart. What's more, what about the three masters of the calendar? Besides. Xiao Jixi was in Liaodong, planning for Shixun, and the two seemed to get along quite well on the surface.
So Guan Jing deliberately concealed that he was Xun, went to Nanyang, and invited Xiao Ji, and when Xiao Ji arrived, he would chat first and probe his tone.
Both have their own desires. Seeing that the height was also quite similar, they sympathized with each other, and hit it off, and Guan Jing immediately gave the Ji to Ling Shixun. Of course, Xiao Yuantu is a rare resourceful person in the world, but how he formed a gang and engaged in political struggles in the Yuan group is something that Xun has never seen. So I want Shixun to accept this person. First of all, you have to let him show his ability to fight politically - this kind of talent is lacking around Xun, and it is precisely because of this that he Guan Shiqi was invited by Xun to serve as a confidant in the palace.
The table xiàn method of the 逄 period is also very straightforward. He asked Guan Jing about the recent internal movements in the Wei State, and when he heard Chen Qun's recommendation of Cao Ang, he immediately pointed out: "This is not a good idea!" Then he recited a passage of "Lao Tzu" in front of Shi Xun: "If you want to die, you will fix it; He who wants to be weak will be strong; If you want to abolish it, you will rejuvenate it; If you want to take it, you will fix it. ”
Lao Tzu's original meaning meant that contradictions would transform each other, and things would be the opposite, but later generations derived a sentence because of this: "If you want to take it, you must give it first." "I want to take something from someone else, but I have to pay a price to numb the other person's vigilance.
If Chen Qun really wanted Cao Ang's good, he shouldn't have such a bad idea. Cao Ang is Cao Cao's eldest son, although recently because of the disagreement between the two of them (this matter is not clear, but Xun and Guan Jing both understand), Cao Cao put it aside for the time being, and on this ground, he has not officially canonized him as the prince of Wei, but Cao Ang used to be the prince of Wei, as long as he is deposed by an unknown order, he can smoothly transition from the prince of the prince to the prince of Wang - in this high position, Mu Xiu will be in the wind.
Because many people are coveting his position, he can only maintain it for a long time if he is down-to-earth and has no merit - it is naturally not possible to have it, but once he has merit, will it in turn threaten his father's status? Will it form a trend of tail not falling? Especially a strongman like Cao Cao, who wants to hold all the power firmly in his own hands - I can't afford to abandon the heart of the young at all, but I must always have the power to replace the heir, otherwise this heart will not be steady.
Xiao Ji had seen Yuan Shao hesitate, wander, and repeat among his sons, how could he not see this?
This is also the true intention of Jia Xu in the original history to persuade Cao Pi to "wish the general to restore virtue, bow to the cause of a scholar, work diligently day and night, and do not violate the way of the son, that's it". If you dare to be in the limelight while Daddy is still alive, will Daddy really reassure you?
So Cao Ang went to Jingzhou for a lap and returned to Anyi without any danger, which was the best, even if it didn't work, it would be a small setback, or a small contribution. But Chen Qun's words didn't just make Cao Ang make a decision to settle the chaos - just a small mess of a few thousand people, even if it subsides instantly, how much credit can it have? But he directly handed over the military power of the three states to Cao Ang, if the war dragged on, Cao Ang had too long to get the army, and his power would naturally swell, how could Cao Cao sit idly by?
Besides, once the power is in hand, will Cao Ang's own psychology be affected and changed? It is easy to get a soldier but it is difficult to abandon a soldier, will he really be willing to return the court empty-handed and calmly hand over the power he once had?
"The rebellion in Yichun County, why should the eldest son come in person? Why do you have to recruit the death of the three states? "Just send someone to be biased, and lead the guards of one or two counties to pacify it, can you move the soldiers and horses of the three states? Or are they all unstable dìng's newly acquired land and newly attached pawns?
Xiao Yuantu woke up the dreamer with a word, and Shi Xun couldn't help but blurt out: "I want to kill it!" ”
The word "praise" has no meaning of "touting" in Han fashion, or the original intention of taking it with both hands, so whether it is Guan Jing or Xiao Ji, they don't understand Shixun's strange words. Xiao Ji was about to say anything, but he was stopped by Guan Jing waving his hand - you see that the Lord Justice is muttering, don't interrupt his train of thought first.
It's Xun Du who has already understood, so what is he muttering? It turned out that Xun was pondering, but he couldn't think of it, Chen Changwen was still the same as in the original history, and he got on Cao Laoer's thief ship early. As Xiao Ji said, if you think about the country, it is advisable to move the widowed army to control small chaos, and the more troops are mobilized. The consumption of grain and straw will be great. It would also affect the stability of the newly acquired territories. Chen Qun should not mention three states as soon as he opens his mouth; If you think about Cao Ang and want him to make meritorious contributions, there is no need to give up the soldiers and horses of the three states. Chen Qun is not an idiot, and there are only two possibilities for blatantly making this proposal: first, to test whether Cao Cao still trusts Cao Ang; Second, deliberately "killing" Cao Ang for Cao Pi - the latter possibility is more likely.
However, although such a proposal seemed unreliable, none of the ministers vehemently opposed it. There are also three possibilities: first, he is not very sensitive to the political struggle like Shixun, and he didn't see it for a while; second, he is Cao Pi's party, or a party with other princes, and is happy to see Cao Ang being "killed"; Three, his Cao family fights for the heir, what does it matter to me? If you can hide or hide quickly, it is better to be silent.
So why did Cao Cao agree to Chen Qun's proposal? Did Cao Cao see that this move might not be beneficial to Cao Ang? Judging by Shihoon. There are also two possibilities: First, the authorities are obsessed. The so-called "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain" is also; Second, Cao Cao also happened to take advantage of this opportunity to continue to investigate Cao Ang, anyway, although the number of soldiers in the three states was quite large, it was not within the scope of Cao Cao's concern.
After all, in the original history, Cao Cao liked to inspect his sons, and they all paid Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi authority, and then hesitated for many years, almost following in the footsteps of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao. And on this timeline, although the shape has changed, the people's hearts have not moved, Cao Cao originally let Cao Ang go to Jingzhou, with the intention of testing and honing, so it is reasonable to increase the weight of the investigation.
But what should I do? I was ignorant and ignorant, but now that I have been awakened by the Chronicles, I must no longer pretend not to see - do you want to react to this? "What should I do?"
Xiao Ji and Guan Jing glanced at each other, Guan Jing also put down his chopsticks, and asked Shi Xun: "Unknown lord wants to abolish Cao Changgongzi?" Shixun smiled slightly bitterly: "I don't know." ”
Logically speaking, if Cao Ang's thinking is not changed, he himself will be a big disaster for Cao Jiawen. Yes, Cao Cao is now only one step away from the throne, if the situation does not make any waves, he will have to usurp the Han family in three or five years, and according to the original history, he will have at least ten years to live. When the throne is solidified, and then passed on to Cao Ang, can that kid really hold the seal and ask Liu Xie to restore the throne? However, every time things go wrong in the world, what if something suddenly goes wrong? What if Cao Cao dies before his life is over? Suddenly replaced by Cao Ang, even if the Cao Group does not completely fall apart, it needs to be reintegrated, which will inevitably delay the time for the unification of the world. And the Central Plains is uncertain, and the Hu people take the opportunity to expand, and the "five nonsense chaos" is likely to still be unavoidable!
So Shixun is very conflicted, do you want to bring down Cao Ang? As far as feelings are concerned, although he dislikes Cao Ang more and more, he has known him for a long time after all, and he can't bear to see him fall - not to mention that if he really wants to fall from the throne of the heir, it is difficult to say whether he can still save his life, and the political struggle is bloody, and the loser often has to pay the price with his life. And intellectually, Cao Ang is not a suitable successor in his mind, but Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi are not either-do you want to be beaten until Cao Chong grows up? But although that kid is smart, whether his personality is reliable or not, Shixun has no bottom in his heart.
So he had been standing on the shore and watching, Lu Honglai presented a record of his conversation with Cao Ang, which was signed by Xun, but he refused to point out that it had been tampered with, and then Cao Cao asked him what he thought of Cao Ang, and he didn't say anything to death. Try to maintain the duty of a minister, but do not reach out to stop Cao Pi and others from attacking Cao Ang and coveting the position of the prince. It's Xun's meaning, you guys fight for it, anyway, I'm the Cao family's in-law and an important minister of the country, and whoever is in the position can't kick me away.
If you meddle rashly, if you bet on the wrong treasure, the consequences will be stricter. It's nothing to oppose Cao Ang, that kid doesn't seem to be a person who holds grudges, as long as he doesn't go too far. But if you deliberately protect Cao Ang, in case the final position falls into the hands of Cao Pi, judging from the original history, Cao Lao's second heart is really not big, and he will almost repay him, and he will slaughter Ding Yi and Ding Xuan's whole family as soon as he takes the throne. With his own identity and status, he may not dare to kill his aunt and ministers, but the future of politics is estimated to be completely ruined.
In the original history, most of the Cao Xiahou were also mixed into the whirlpool of Cao Cao's heirs, and Emperor Wen except for one Cao Hong, who was almost inevitable because of a vendetta with Cao Pi, the rest had to die well.
Therefore, it was Xun Cai who hesitated and hesitated, saying that he did not plan to take the slightest countermeasure. However, Xiao Ji suddenly stood up and said in a loud voice: "Ling Jun is an important minister of the Wei family, and he has the deep favor of the King of Wei, and he knows it but does not report it, and it is not what a minister should do!"
