What did Yang Xiu die for?

Maybe many people will blurt out because of the word chicken ribs.

But it's not that simple.

Cao Cao was a mature politician, and he would not rashly kill Yang Xiu, who was the eldest son of Hongnong Yang, because of his personal likes and dislikes.

Yang Xiu's identity is there, it can be said that as long as he befriends Hongnong Yang, then Cao Cao's rule in Guanxi will be quite stable.

Cao Cao also knew that the rash killing of Yang Xiu would definitely cause great dissatisfaction among the Kansai family headed by Yang Biao.

Because with Yang Xiu's identity and intelligence, it is foreseeable that after Yang Biao's death, Yang Xiu will definitely become the new leader of the Kansai family, or the representative of the political interests of the Kansai family in the central government.

What kind of impact will the rash killing of the interests of a family group have on Cao Wei's rule, does Cao Cao not know?

Cao Cao must have known that the Yanzhou Rebellion was caused by Cao Cao's killing of Bian Rang, who had a similar identity.

The past does not forget the teacher of the future, and Cao Cao knew that his life was short, and he was actively paving the way for Cao Pi's Zen Dynasty.

Therefore, normally speaking, Cao Cao should try his best to win over the Kansai family, and he will not suddenly kill Yang Xiu directly with thunder before he dies.

Moreover, Cao Cao's crime of killing Yang Xiu was "leaking words and teachings before and after, and handing over the princes".

This crime can be said to be extremely far-fetched, is it considered a crime in the current world to "leak words and teachings and hand over to the princes"?

It must not count, which of the celebrities in Cao Wei has no contact with the foreign princes?

The breadth of communication is the biggest characteristic of Baume & Mercier.

Even this year, Cao Wei's celebrities Hua Xin, Wang Lang and others often write letters to Zhuge Liang to contact their personal feelings, if Yang Xiu deserves to die, Cao Wei's celebrities are counted as one, and they all have to die.

But in the end, Cao Cao forcibly killed Yang Xiu on this far-fetched, almost "trumped-up" charge.

This kind of behavior is to put it mildly, it is Cao Cao who pees on the head of the entire Kansai family.

So why did Cao Cao use such humiliating means to slap the Kansai family in the face when he should maintain stability before he died?

As a mature politician, there was only one reason for Cao Cao to do this, and that was his realization that Yang Xiu's presence might bring turmoil to Cao Wei's later political situation.

As for why Cao Cao thought so, the crux was the battle for succession back then.

The struggle for succession back then was ostensibly a struggle for power between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, but in fact it was also a struggle for the interests of each family that supported them.

Judging from the situation back then, it is not difficult to see which family forces Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are standing behind each other.

It was the Hebei family with Sima Yi as the representative figure who supported Cao Pi back then, and it was the Kansai family with Yang Xiu as the representative figure who supported Cao Zhi.

In terms of the final result, it was Cao Pi who won the battle for succession, since Cao Cao had already decided that Cao Pi was his successor, then Cao Cao in his later years had to think about Cao Pi's future.

Because whether Cao Pi's future is stable or not represents whether the Great Wei will be stable in the future.

And as long as this is taken into account, then Yang Xiu has the sin of death in Cao Cao's heart.

Yang Xiu's youth, Yang Xiu's talent, and the powerful political power behind Yang Xiu made Cao Cao have no choice but to risk offending the entire Guanxi family to kill Yang Xiu for the sake of the future of Great Wei.

And since he killed Yang Xiu with such a purpose, the impact of Yang Xiu's death is not just as simple as making Yang Biao lose his son and Yang Huan lose his father.

Yang Xiu's death represents the defeat of the Kansai family in the war for the dragon's merit, and it also represents the political interests of the Kansai family in Cao Wei, which has suffered a serious blow.

Because of this, Meng Da issued two consecutive heart-wrenching questions in front of Yang Biao.

The first heart-wrenching question, Meng Da was issued for Yang Xiu, wanting to arouse Yang Biao's love for his son and hatred.

In the second heart-wrenching question, Meng Da spoke for the Kansai family that has been lonely in recent years.

Don't forget, Meng Da, who was born in the Fufeng Meng family, is also a member of the Kansai family.

And after listening to Meng Da's two heart-wrenching questions, it is not surprising that the resentment that has been accumulating in Yang Biao's heart was completely triggered by Meng Da.

As a father, how could Yang Biao not feel resentful of Yang Xiu's death that year!

Yang Xiu is Yang Biao's only son!

Yang Biao has a grudge against Yang Xiu's death in his heart, which can be known from an incident that happened when Cao Cao was alive:

At a banquet, why did Cao Cao Yang Biao become emaciated.

In the face of Cao Cao's inquiry, Yang Biao replied directly in front of the public: "I am ashamed of the foresight of the sun, and I still cherish the love of the old cow licking the calf." ”

After hearing Yang Biao's words, Cao Cao's face changed directly in shock.

It can be seen from this incident that Yang Biao is extremely sad about Yang Xiu's death, and there is no lot of resentment in his heart.

And since there is resentment in his heart, how can Yang Biao not have a heart of revenge in his heart.

The reason why Yang Biao has not acted is nothing more than to see Cao Cao at that time in the world and consider the entire Hongnong Yang family.

Even if you don't talk about the resentment that Yang Xiu's death brought to Yang Biao, what about the fact that the Kansai family has been lonely for more than ten years?

Yang Biao's ancestor was called "Confucius of Guanxi" by the Guanxi scholars, which is a huge honor that can be passed down for thousands of years by the Hongnong Yang family.

But people are chasing interests, and behind this honor, there is a very real entanglement of interests.

The Kansai scholars respected Yang Zhen so much, in order to make Yang Zhen a benchmark figure for the Kansai scholars, and also to make the Hongnong Yang family the guarantor of the interests of the Kansai family.

With the efforts of the entire Kansai family, the development of Hongnong Yang can be said to be very rapid, but more than 100 years have allowed Hongnong Yang to achieve the achievements of the fourth and third princes.

And in the past hundred years, the successive heads of the Yang family since Yang Zhen have indeed spared no effort to protect the political interests of the Kansai family.

Hongnong Yang family and the Kansai family can be described as both prosperity and loss.

This exchange of interests has always been mutually reinforcing.

However, since Emperor Ling, this originally stable pattern of interest exchange has been broken by the chaos in the world.

Under the danger of war, a large number of Kansai scholars such as Fa Zheng and Meng Da moved south, causing the strength of the Kansai family to suffer a heavy blow.

Later, in order to reverse this decline, when Cao Cao pacified Guanzhong, the Guanxi family spared no effort to help Cao Cao and killed Ma Chaokeng's immortals.

Originally, the Kansai family thought that after Cao Cao ruled Kansai, they could usher in revival with their strong heritage.

But the result?

Under Yang Biao's leadership, the Kansai family did not occupy much of an important position in Cao Wei's political landscape.

On the contrary, Hebei Shijia, as a rising star, took advantage of the battle for the heir to bet on the treasure and directly achieved corner overtaking.

The loneliness of the Kansai family in Cao Wei cannot be said to be a trend, it should be a fact.

And in the face of this fact, will the Kansai family have no complaints about the Hongnong Yang clan who led them?

You must know that the reason why the Kansai family praised Hongnong Yang as the leader is that Hongnong Yang can protect their interests, but what if Hongnong Yang can't do this?

Without the support of the basic Kansai family, the decline of the Hongnong Yang clan is about to become a fact.

As the head of the contemporary Hongnong Yang family, how could Yang Biao not be worried about the declining Hongnong Yang family.

The fame and family business left to him by his ancestors cannot be kept, that is unfilial piety!

And Yang Biao is more likely to become the person in the family history who has been blamed by countless descendants.

It has to be said that only the Maison knows the Maison best.

Meng Da's two heart-wrenching questions were an all-round attack on Yang Biao from both public and private aspects.

Even if Yang Biao is hard-hearted, he doesn't want to avenge Yang Xiu, so you, Yang Biao, as the head of the Hongnong Yang family, can you not consider the rise and fall of the Hongnong Yang family?

This is naturally impossible.

Thinking of the resentment brought to him by Yang Xiu's death, and thinking of the declining family and the accusations made against him by many Kansai families, the old Yang Biao felt as if a raging fire was burning in his heart at this moment.

His eyes were no longer cloudy, but flashed with a domineering brilliance.

Yang Biao first waved his hand to wave away the guards who surrounded him, and then shouted angrily at Meng Da in a terrifying tone:

"Tiger poison still loves the son, I don't care!

As for me, it is not that I do not want to work for the well-being of you, nor do I want to be a descendant and let the family decay in my hands.

It was precisely because I wanted to revitalize the family and the Kansai family that I asked Dezu to support Cao Zhi.

But I failed in the end, and Dezu died because of it, haven't I done enough? ”

The more he talked about the back, the more indignant Yang Biao's tone became.

He now no longer sees Meng Da as Mi Yang's messenger, but as a Kansai scholar.

In the face of Meng Da's accusation of his inaction, Yang Biao could only express his unwillingness in his heart with an indignant tone.

It is unkind to have a son who is in trouble but cannot be rescued.

The decay of the family cannot be stopped, which is for unfilial piety.

It is unjust that the interests of the allies who have always supported him cannot be guaranteed.

Could it be that Yang Biao would want to be this unkind, unfilial and unrighteous person?

Yang Biao's angry shout made Meng Da stay in place for a moment.

Yang Biao's prestige in a high position for many years was suddenly released, which is still very intimidating.

It's just that Yang Biao's current angry shout also means that he has been pretending to be dead before.

Although I don't know when Yang Biao will die, Yang Biao is in good spirits now.

After thinking of this, Meng Da hurriedly recovered from his stupe.

He is not afraid that Yang Biao will be angry, but he is afraid that Yang Biao can even ignore the interests of the family, so he wants to be a turtle with a shrunken head, then Meng Dake will be Barbie Q.

But fortunately, Yang Biao, who is the head of the Hongnong Yang family, still cares about the interests of the family.

After regaining his senses, Meng Da immediately struck while the iron was hot and said:

"If it was in the past, Da would never come to persuade Yang Gong, because Da knew that the Cao thief was powerful, not the Yang family, let alone our Kansai family, could resist him.

But now that the times have changed, Dawei Yang Gong has brought a powerful boost to our Kansai family.

The lord of the Da, the general of Mi, how the prestige is promising, Yang Gong should know.

At present, General Mi is leading troops to garrison Yixian, and it will not be long before he can march into Chang'an.

The change of the Kansai royal flag is probably only in the evening.

In the face of this rare opportunity, isn't Yang Gong tempted?

As long as Yang Gong can assist General Mi to recover Guanzhong, with the temperament of General Mi who will be rewarded for his merits, how can the Kansai family not be able to restore its former glory in the future?

Yang Gong, the opportunity is fleeting, as long as Yang Gong can become a general Mi! ”

Speaking of this, Meng Da's words were sincere, and Yang Huan on the side was excited.

Mi Yang's triumphant songs are indeed one thing that everyone in the world knows now.

It's just that compared with Yang Huan's surging heart, Yang Biao seems more sophisticated.

Although his mood was still in a state of excitement, and he felt that Meng Da's words were reasonable, he would not agree to Meng Da so easily.

"How do you think I will become the Great General Mi?"

Seeing that Yang Biao was willing to call Mi Yang a general, Meng Da knew that things had taken a turn for the better.

"When Cao Cao conquered Guanzhong, what Yang Gong did, he could do it now."

After hearing Meng Da's words, Yang Biao's eyes flashed with a gleam.

What he did behind his back then almost pushed Ma Chao into a desperate situation.

But what could be done back then, why can't it be done now?

Hongnong Yang and the Kansai families are unable to organize large-scale armed forces in the current situation, but the strongest weapon of the family lies in the word armament?

Yang Biao obviously has already made a move, but the scheming Yang Biao still won't trust Meng Da so easily.

Yang Biao leaned towards Meng Dayan and said: "I need you to pass on the message to the general, as long as I can get a promise from the general, I will fulfill the general's wish!" ”

Yang Biao's words made Meng Da overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked, "Yang Gong, please speak." ”

Under Meng Da's expectant gaze, Yang Biao said slowly: "Move the capital to Chang'an!" ”

After listening to Yang Biao's request, Meng Da's eyes showed surprise.

Since ancient times, the Han Dynasty has had two capitals, Chang'an and Luoyang.

If the Han Dynasty can dominate the world in the future, the national capital will definitely choose one of the two.

It's just that no one in the Han Dynasty knows which one to choose as the national capital, and no one will make an assertion so early.

Meng Da knew why Yang Biao made this request, and only by making Chang'an the capital of the present-day Han Dynasty could the interests of the Hongnong Yang family and the Kansai family be fundamentally guaranteed.

Yang Biao saw that Meng Da couldn't answer himself, and he also knew that this kind of thing was not something Meng Da could accept.

The only one who can answer is Mi Yang.

"As long as the general agrees to my request, I promise that I will do everything in my power to assist the general to recover Guanzhong!

In the future, I Hongnong Yang will also swear to follow the general! ”

After saying this, Yang Biao asked Yang Huan to send Meng Da out, and the next thing he had to do was to wait for Mi Yang's reply.

When Yang Huan sent Meng Da away, Yang Biao lay down on the recliner again.

Yang Biao knew that Mi Yang would agree to his request, because this matter had immeasurable benefits to Mi Yang personally.

Thinking of this, Yang Biao touched his arms, and there was a secret letter in his arms.

Hua Xin officially sent an envoy to Huainan today.

Yang Biao, who knew the news, remembered the corpse of Yang Xiu who had been separated from the corpse he saw back then, and then remembered that Cao Cao used humiliating means to deal with him again and again, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but sneer.

You are a traitor in troubled times, I can't deal with you, but I have lived longer than you.

And the current Dawei, is there still the weather that was in full swing back then?

Since your offspring doesn't want decency, then I'll make him even more undignified!

The recliner kept shaking under the weight of Yang Biao's body.

Yang Biao knew that what he was going to shake next was not a small recliner, but the entire Guanzhong!

Under Jiuquan, he will finally have something to explain.
