Chapter 195: Kong Rong makes pears

As mentioned last time, Liu Hou has been holding back and taking a defensive posture to confront Sima Yi. The last time they fought against Sima Yi, the Wei army had a considerable number of firearms, so the Shu army suffered a big loss.

This time, the Wei army had a lot less firearms, and the Shu army had more ammunition, if Liu Hou made up his mind to fight to the death with the Wei army, under absolute strength, Sima Yi would not be able to block the thunderous blow of the Hong army, no matter how tricky he was.

However, Liu Hou had a benevolent heart, hoping to kill as few people as possible and preserve the vitality of the Han people as much as possible, so he always avoided confrontation with Wei and waited patiently for the results of Xuchang's operation.

Liu Hou hoped to take Sima Yi's family hostage and force him to surrender, so as to achieve the goal of surrendering the army without a fight, so as to minimize the casualties of both sides.

Now the opportunity has finally come, Sima Yi's family has been taken to Liu Hou's barracks by Guo Changsheng and the special forces, and everything is ready, only Dongfeng is the current situation. In order to attract the east wind, Liu Hou convened a meeting to determine the candidate who would go to persuade Sima Yi to surrender.

The debate at the meeting was very fierce, and this time the debate was not because of any major national affairs or policy guidelines, but because of the question of who should be the lobbyist, and everyone could see that the task this time was not difficult, and it was even said to be easy.

You can get a lot of credit by making an easy trip, and no one wants to go if you change it. So, in the conference room, several strategists fought for their heads, of course, only the strategists grabbed it, and the generals would not rob it.

However, even if it is a civilian official, the scope of the quarrel is mainly focused on Deng Zhi, Guo Youzhi and Bu Qi, and other minor officials are not qualified to compete for this opportunity to make meritorious contributions. The three of them argued, and finally had to ask Liu Hou to call the shots.

Liu Hou smiled bitterly, he looked at these three guys who were usually polite and polite, and they all showed an elegant temperament in their gestures, but now they were blushing, and they were like roosters on the cockfighting ring, feeling angry and funny.

He really didn't want to mix in this matter, he felt that it was not appropriate for him to designate whoever to go, which could easily give people a signal that he was close to who he was with and who was not. This is the sorrow of being an emperor, and every move may be perceived as sending a signal.

But don't specify anyone, obviously these three people don't give in to each other, which is really difficult. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Liu Hou had no choice but to clear his throat and start speaking: "Ahem, Aiqing, have you ever heard the story of Kong Rong Rang Pear?" ”

"This ...... As soon as the three of them heard Liu Hou's words, they were immediately speechless, Kong Rong had only been dead for more than ten years, it can be said that he was a person of the same era as them, as a scholar, it is certain to read Confucian classics, and at the same time, it is certain to have a certain understanding of the people of the Confucian family, Kong Rong is the twentieth grandson of Confucius, and he is a contemporary Confucian, his name, his deeds are not known to that scholar.......

In fact, from that time until 2,000 years later, Chinese scholars will know about Kong Rong, and also know that he gave up a pear when he was a child, which shows how influential Kong Rong is.

The story of Kong Rong Rang Pear has been circulated in this era, so Guo, Deng, and Bu, the three scholars, all know it, and they know this story, so they naturally know the meaning of the little emperor mentioning this story, and the emperor is laughing at them for being scholars, but they don't know how to be humble, and they are calculating in front of the emperor for the sake of interests.

Three Confucian disciples who read poetry were actually laughed at by a teenage young man, although this young man is the emperor, but the emperor is also a human being, and he is still a little pot friend who has not grown hair, how can they not be ashamed?

The three of them often came into contact with the emperor, and knew that the emperor was nothing but a human being of flesh and blood, and they would not regard the emperor as the son of the emperor of heaven and a natural saint like the foolish men and fools of the people.

Unexpectedly, the three of them usually believe that they are mature and steady, and they think that they are not shocked by humiliation and are indifferent to fame and fortune, but today they are disgraced because of a little profit.

Liu Hou smiled and looked at the three stinkers without speaking, and the three of them were ashamed and pleaded guilty to the little emperor. Liu Hou sighed that talking to the reader is to save trouble, he only spoke four words, they all understood, there is no need to explain in detail, let alone hard persuasion.

Liu Hou didn't want to think about it, he was the emperor, everyone was afraid of him, he was full of brainpower in front of him, and he was thinking about the holy will, of course, he could think of the meaning of his words.

The point is, if it weren't for the emperor's face, who could suppress them? They said that they were ashamed because they were inspired by Kong Rong's deeds, and it was better to say that they did not want to give the emperor a bad impression that they did not know how to be humble and gave in, so they pretended to give in.13

If someone else told them the story of Kong Rong Rang Pear at this time, maybe they would unite first and drown this person with spittle stars, and then start pinching each other again.

"Kong Beihai is indeed admirable, he knew the way of filial piety at the age of four, but unfortunately he was killed by Cao Cao, a tyrant......" Guo Youzhi made a sigh and recalled Kong Rong. But what he didn't know was that the little emperor who was like a saint in their minds was slandering the real saint:

"Where did so many saints come from, the four-year-old knows what to do, it's not that adults teach him how to do it, maybe it's because he sees that adults like children to do this, and in order to please adults, he deliberately did it."

Of course, he would never dare to say such insulting words to the saint, so he could only think about it in his heart, otherwise even if he was the emperor, he would not be able to withstand the verbal criticism of Confucian disciples.

"The ministers are really ashamed, not as much as Kong Beihai." Deng Zhi said. Kong Rong once served as a minister in Beihai Kingdom (now Changlexi, Shandong) (said to be a minister, but this position is only equivalent to the county guard of a county), so he is called Kong Beihai.

Although he later served as a master craftsman, a young man, and a doctor in Taizhong, it was after the Han Emperor moved the capital to Xuchang, that is, when Cao Cao controlled the government, so later these official positions were equivalent to those given to him by Cao Cao.

Later, Kong Rong was killed by Cao Cao because of repeated persuasion and disobedience to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao found an excuse to kill him, so Guo Youzhi and Deng Zhi did not recognize these official positions in his later positions, and still called him Kong Beihai.

After the three stinkers apologized and expressed their attitudes, and no longer competed for the mission, Liu Houcai said: "Knowing mistakes can improve the great way, and the three worthy of being Confucian disciples will realize their mistakes so quickly." Good! It's a great thing that this mission is just a small thing, but from this little thing, we can already see that many problems are coming.

I hope that when you encounter similar problems in the future, you can remember today's events, and when you encounter interests, you must know how to be humble, of course, I did not let you be humble to everyone, and when you meet foreigners and people with ill intentions, you should not be humble to them.

Humility can only be humble to one's friends, colleagues and the people of one's own country, if you encounter a foreign race and a foreign country, then it is the other way around, and you must do your best to fight for it, because you represent a country, not an individual, and the scramble at that time was for the country and the people, not for the individual. If you are still humble at this time, you are pedantic.

Okay, without going into too much detail, let's talk about the solution to this problem first. Liu Houdao.
