Chapter 11: Silence from Evil Voices

Why did Cao Cao kill Hua Tuo, which is also a big mystery in the ages. The "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" said that Hua Tuo had been serving Cao Cao in Xudu, and he really missed his hometown, so he took a leave of absence to visit his relatives under the pretext of receiving a letter from home. But he refused to come back after he went, and lied that his wife was sick and couldn't leave, Cao Cao sent several letters to call, but Hua Tuo refused to leave. So Cao Cao sent someone to visit - if Hua Tuo's wife is really sick, then reward him with 40 beans, give him a grace vacation, and if he pretends to be sick, he will be arrested and punished!

As a famous doctor, it should not be difficult to make his wife pretend to be sick, but I don't know what the process is, in short, the lie was finally exposed, and Hua Tuo was escorted back to Xudu Prison. Cao Cao was so angry that he couldn't even listen to Xun Yu's words, and ordered Hua Tuoming to be punished.

If you understand it generally, Cao Cao is angry that Hua Tuo lied to him, and this Prime Minister Cao Cheng is very harsh, since Hua Tuo has committed a crime, then there is no way to forgive me - I will no longer be cured of my head wind, and I have to let this bastard fall to the law.

However, the first and last two sentences in the history books seem to reveal more of the inside story. In the previous sentence, it was said that Hua Tuo "was a scholar, saw his profession as a doctor, and often regretted himself", and he had a certain degree of regret for abandoning his relatively high social status at that time and practicing the medical skills that were despised by others; In the latter sentence, Cao Cao later fell ill again, not only did he not regret killing Hua Tuo, but said: "The villain raised my illness and wanted to respect himself, but if I don't kill this son, I should never cut off this root for me." ”

According to these two sentences, later generations judged that Hua Tuo seemed to be able to cut off the root of Cao Cao's illness, but because he wanted to improve his social status. He used medical skills as a threat. always refused to let go of his hand to treat Cao Cao. Some even sighed. Hua Tuo's death is self-inflicted.

Yeshun is skeptical of this claim. First of all, how Cao Cao guessed Hua Tuo's thoughts, that was a person's opinion, and what he didn't see was the truth. Although Cao Cao is very smart, the so-called "difficult to show off and fake" is also, Hua Tuo really wants to hold some dirty thoughts that he dare not declare, and it is not difficult for Cao Cao to see through it at a glance; However, Cao Cao was seriously ill. In his later years, he still had persecution paranoia, a momentary nonsense, or just to vent his anger, he wronged or slandered Hua Tuo, which is not surprising.

Cao Cao also said that the Battle of Chibi was "a lonely burning ship retreating, and Zhou Yu was falsely awarded this name", can you believe it?

Moreover, if Hua Tuo wanted to improve his social status, he could cure Cao Cao's illness, and then ask for merit and reward. Why use this kind of coercion that will arouse Cao Cao's bad feelings? If Cao Cao's illness can't be cured, what good will it do him? The only benefit is probably to be able to always be by Cao Cao's side. The fox is a fake tiger, but if he wants to be with Cao Cao often, why does he ask for leave to go home and not return after the deadline? Isn't that fundamentally contradictory?

So Shi Xun felt that Hua Tuo was unlikely to really want to blackmail Cao Cao. However, on the one hand, real history is often more absurd than fiction, and this possibility cannot be completely erased; On the other hand, Hua Tuo didn't have this heart, maybe Cao Cao wouldn't guess - in the original history, maybe it was because of his random speculation that he finally killed Hua Tuo. It would be a pity for a generation of famous doctors to die like this, and this would also damage Cao Cao's reputation and leave a reputation for eternity, so I will help them bridge the contradiction first.

Therefore, Shi Xun said to Cao Cao: "Hua Tuo'an dares to blackmail the lord to ask for the lord? When he saw that he lived in my house, he often made regretful words when talking with Zhang Zhongjing's disciples, so I thought that if he was a scholar again, he would be happy to have a thousand gold. Moreover, the people of the countryside are obsessed with medicine, and if they hear that there is a difficult disease, they will be like Zilian who hears that there is a war, and they are afraid that they will be uneasy and live ......in the capital for a long time."

If Cao Hong hears about a war somewhere, he will definitely come to you to ask for war as soon as possible, this person has a habit of fighting; Hua Tuo is the same, he has a habit of curing diseases, if he hears that he has found an incurable disease, maybe he will not stay in Xudu and want to go over to study.

"If you are with your official and welcome his wife, you will not leave, and you can rest assured that you will be treated by the main public."

Shi Xun not only built yì Cao Cao to reward Hua Tuo with official positions, but also built yì Cao Cao to take Hua Tuo's wives and children into Xu Du - after Hua Yuanhua, if you want to use an excuse to visit relatives and run away, you have nowhere to run.

Cao Cao frowned slightly, and glanced at Shi Xun suspiciously: "How much does Hongfu love a doctor?" "You think about Hua Tuo very thoroughly, there is only one doctor left and right, why are you so good to him? Shi Xun had already had a case about this problem, so he smiled faintly and replied to Cao Cao: "Hua Tuo savage, I don't know the etiquette, and I am afraid that I will offend the lord on a different day." Xun is a recommender, do you dare to be thoughtful? "After all, I recommended him to Prime Minister Cao Cheng, if something happens to him in the future, will I not be affected at all?

Cao Cao slowly stretched his brows: "Hongfu is too cautious?" I and Qing belong to the monarch and ministers, and we are really brothers, so why bother. Yes Xun took the opportunity to pat himself on the back: "The lord is majestic and strategic, like the sky and the sun, Xun An dares to cling?" If you can help the lord to achieve a great cause, this life will not be wasted. ”

Cao Cao was very happy when he heard this, and said Then do as you say, but what kind of official should Hua Tuo be? Back then, Chen Jue promoted him as filial piety, if he agreed, now he would be given a position, he would have resigned at all, could it be that his hair was gray, and then he would be recommended by the local government? Besides, what kind of official can you be when you are recommended? He's just a doctor after all.

Yes Xun was a little confused when he heard this, and said that it was not quite appropriate to let Hua Tuo be the imperial doctor? If there is no vacancy, it is okay to be a medicine and a Fang Cheng for the time being, and I didn't say that he would be a high-ranking official and eunuch.

Cao Cao rolled his eyes: "I want to use Hua Tuo for a special purpose." ”

In the Han Dynasty, under the Shaofu, the post of Taiyi Ling, 600 stones, was set up to treat the court and hundreds of officials. There are two adjutants of the Imperial Physician Order, one Yao Cheng and one Fang Cheng, as the name suggests, they are responsible for medicinal materials and prescriptions respectively, and they are all small officials of Baishi. However, Cao Cao said that he wanted Hua Tuo to serve him alone, or more accurately, to obey only his own orders.

Shi Xun frowned slightly when he heard this, his eyes rolled, and he understood Cao Cao's intentions. Cao Cao was afraid of appointing Hua Tuo as a court official, and there would be too many people in contact at that time, in case he was instructed by others, he would take advantage of the opportunity to see a doctor and do something to kill him. That's a shame. So, well. Since you want to heal yourself. This doctor Cao Cao had to hold it firmly in the palm of his hand.

Shi Xun couldn't help but smile and said: "It's okay to take Tuo as the prime minister." The system of the prime minister's house, the prime minister sets himself, so why doubt? "Add one or two subordinate officials to the Prime Minister's Mansion, then it's not up to you to decide? What are you hesitating about? - "You can set up a doctor Cao Peng, the main house of medicine." ”

Cao Cao said okay, then let Hua Tuo be the doctor Cao Peng, and I will send someone to bring his family to Xu Du. Speaking of this, he suddenly furrowed his brows again: "Hongsuke." What you want, I agree, what I order, do you still remember? Shi Xun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and hurriedly surrendered his hand, saying that I will go to Kong Rong's Mansion and coax him to Jingzhou, my lord, and wait for good news!

Hurriedly left the Prime Minister's Mansion and went to visit Kong Rong, but unexpectedly Kong Rong was not at home. Calling friends to drink and write poems. Shi Xun had no choice but to leave a name thorn and say when Kong Gong would return. Hurry up and report it, I'll visit again.

Kong Rong drank and wrote poems, played until dusk, and then returned home, listening to the report from the door, Prime Minister Si is Xun came to worship, and he couldn't help frowning and pondering. He said in his heart that Xun has been getting more and more estranged from me recently-he is the Cao family after all, and it is reasonable to want to avoid suspicion-why did I just get angry with Cao Cao today, and went out to find someone to drink to celebrate, so he came to the door? Does it have anything to do with Cao Cao's anger in the court during the day? I thought about it, but I didn't know the essentials, so I sent someone to the house to report that I was back, but it was too late, let's make an appointment another day.

Who would have thought that not long after the doorman went, he directly brought Shixun over and entered the room. Kong Rong hurriedly came out, took Shixun's hand and said, "It's night, and Hongfu is in a hurry, I don't know what's going on?" Shi Xun pulled out his hand and gave Kong Rong a deep look: "Xun's intention, doesn't Kong Gong know it?" ”

Kong Rong's face sank: "Nothing is for today's business?" Hongfu wants to persuade me to retreat from Cao Gongye? "You want me to make concessions to Cao Cao, right?

Shi Xun didn't expect this guy to get straight to the point, he was slightly stunned at the moment, and was about to persuade him in a roundabout way, when he saw Kong Rong suddenly raise his hands and cover his ears: "The gentleman doesn't hear the evil voice." Hongfu is going, I still don't want to break with Qing. "Don't say anything, lest you hurt your feelings—I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen!

Yes Xun couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and said in his heart, how much wine did you drink when you went out today? Are you really dignified Beihai? You are the heroine of Qiong Yao drama crossed over, right? Seeing Kong Rong turn his head and ignore himself, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart - I came to save your life, you treat your benefactor as an enemy, and your real emotional intelligence is negative, which is unreasonable! Just turn around and leave.

Only then did Kong Rong put his hands down and let out a sigh of relief. He is very affectionate, if the relationship is good, the other party can forgive whatever he does, if the relationship is not good one day, he can scold you in a roundabout way. For Cao Cao, when he first entered Xudu, what "dreamed of Cao Gong's return", what "Cao Gong was worried about the country and selfless", in Kong Rong's own opinion, it was not flattery, but a true expression of gratitude; But when he turned his face with Cao Cao, he lost no chance to ridicule Cao Cao, and even made Cao Cao angry, and went out to drink and celebrate proudly.

For example, for Xi Wei, the two have had a friendship for a long time, and they often praise each other, according to the history books - "Libi County, the state, is the earliest to know." "Wenju Sheng sighed that Hongyu's name is the same as the truth, and he is comprehensive with scriptures, from Zheng Xuan, and Ming "Sima Law", Hongyu is also known as Wenju Qiyi and erudite." But because of the question of supporting Cao or anti-Cao, the two finally broke off their relationship, and Kong Rong worried that Xi's nose was not a nose, and his eyes were not eyes, and he saw that Tian'er was at fault with each other.

Of course, Xi Xi was even more excessive to Kong Rong, in the original history, he directly slandered Cao Cao and killed Kong Rong, but that was out of political needs and had nothing to do with feelings.

Kong Rong used to attach great importance to Shixun, even if he is now divided into two camps, Shixun has been running around all the year round, and he has never had a face-to-face conflict with him, so he has not cut his robe and broken off his friendship. Kong Rong thought to himself, let's just do it, the friendship of gentlemen, light as water, let's continue to be poetry friends, not involved in politics. But if you talk to me about politics, we have to turn our faces, so - I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen!

He covered his ears with his hands, but Xun went away in anger. Kong Rongxin said that it was Hongfu, one day you will be able to understand my painstaking efforts - okay, you can close the door and go back to sleep. Just took a step, and suddenly came to the door to report again: "The Yingling scholar is Xun, and he asks to see the old king." (To be continued......)
