Chapter 245: Father, Don't You Want to Go Further?
He is worthy of being the son of Yunqi!
It is not enough to contradict Guan Gong and let Guan Gong write his own guilt, even Uncle Liu Huang, he dares to threaten to be "blind".
It's better to see than to hear, and the name is well deserved!
Fu Shiren's eyes were straight.
However, for him, he cried out in his heart.
- "Yunqi, what you said is beautiful! Isn't he Liu Xuande blind? Otherwise, how could it make the old brother who had been with him for thirty years feel cold!"
- "Yunqi, you're so right, it's so beautiful!"
From the emotion on Fu Shiren's face.
Guan Lin could perceive something.
Of course...
For Guan Lin, he knows Fu Shiren too well.
This is like a person in the later life, he followed the company's growth step by step, went through a lot of hardships, the people around him walked wave after wave, and the company was almost destroyed several times, but you persevered.
Suddenly to the end... Two more groups of people have joined the company, and the company has gradually grown...
Everyone is happy, except you!
Because you're suddenly not reused, you're kicked out of the core decision-making circle.
The title of "clan" given to you in the oath of the mountains and seas has been reduced to pieces of waste paper at this moment.
You've got a broken mentality!
And for Fu Shiren, that's it.
The clichΓ© topic, in Guan Lin's experience world, the reason why Daddy Guan Yu lost Maicheng is largely due to the complete collapse of Uncle Huang's "checks and balances".
Not to mention the small and transparent Yizhou faction, the surrender faction, the single-unit old faction, the Jingzhou faction and the Dongzhou faction, Liu Bei will not be able to play at all.
And the experience of history tells us.
A veteran figure within the group may not be able to help the group, but if it is bad and causes the group to collapse, he can have a thousand or ten thousand ways.
Uncle Liu Bei and his father Guan Yu suffered a big loss in this "relationship"!
It is no exaggeration to say that Liu Bei Dan has Sun Quan's ability to check and balance Sancheng, and Sun Quan's ruthless Sancheng, this problem will not exist, but there is no way, who made him Liu Bei?
Then, according to Guan Lin's thinking, the way to solve this problem is not to completely depose and abandon these "veteran" figures, but to let them glow with new vitality and vitality.
Let them stand up by themselves, and the old trees sprout, let Liu Bei look sideways, and let Liu Bei look sideways again... Entrusted with important tasks.
Thinking of this, Guan Lin continued to accentuate his tone: "General Fu, let me say one more word that digs out my heart, my uncle and my father may be blind and can't see your talents, but you can't give up on yourself!" Uncle asked you to guard the public security county, and there is no chance of meritorious service, so why don't we do anything? There are conditions, there are no conditions to create conditions, we have to do it... If we can't go into battle to kill the enemy, then let's use another method to attack the city and capture the ground! β
Guan Lin's words became more and more meticulous, and he became more and more serious, "The grievances you have suffered, my uncle can't see it, my father can't see it, but I know best, but self-pity is useless, we have to stand up, we have to use our own way to let them see, who are the pillars?" β
"Wait until the future, wait until one day, our trade war and business war will be completely won, and we will let Cao Wei lose his armor and abandon his armor without blood, and when he is embarrassed, he will be rewarded for his deeds. You think about the picture at that time, when you walked in front of my uncle and my father, you strutted and stood tall, and when you were facing those Jingzhou people and Dongzhou people, you looked at the mountains and told them, 'I'm not targeting someone, everyone here is rubbish', so proud, so bold, this is what my generation of heroes should do! It should be proven! β
For a time, Guan Lin drew a grand blueprint for Fu Shiren.
It can also be said to be a piece of cake.
But every sentence and word in this big pie has gone to Fu Shiren's heart.
Living to this age, following Liu Bei for so many years, there is nothing to say about loyalty and faith.
Fu Shiren just wanted to fight for this breath, just to make Liu Bei realize how blind he has been all these years?
Let Liu Bei realize that it is not Zhao Yun, not Huang Zhong, not Ma Chao, he Fu Shiren is Liu Bei's fourth brother!
Finally...
"Bang"... A bang.
After a short silence, Fu Shiren took the case, as if he had received some kind of inspiration in his heart. "If Yunqi is that Qi Xiaobai, then the general will learn to manage Zhong, Lao Tzu will fight commercial wars and trade wars, Lao Tzu will earn his Cao Cao's money, use his Cao Cao's money to buy his Cao Cao's grain, buy his Cao Cao's iron, and then take his Cao Cao's land, Lao Tzu will use the money to stone him Cao Wei!"
With Fu Shiren's statement.
Guan Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said secretly in his heart:
- "It is finished!"
"Thatβ" Guan Lin was about to speak.
Fu Shiren had already preemptively said: "Yunqi rest assured, I know a lot of businessmen in the north, as long as I have money, I have a hundred ways to get grain and grass in the north, even horses." As for this business, Yunqi Gongzi can rest assured, he can not only make a million profits, but also make meritorious contributions, and let me Fu Shiren stand up and raise his eyebrows, where can I find such a good business in this world? It's done, it's done! β
As he spoke, Fu Shiren mentioned the wine bottle, "Zifang, Yunqi, come... I Fu Shiren respects you in this bottle, from now on, the three of us will be brothers in the same boat! β
Belch... Fu Shiren was emotional, and he didn't care so much about talking.
Guan Lin was slightly stunned.
He muttered to himself, 'Why do you have another brother? If you were my own brother, then your life would be a mess!'
It's Mi Fang, listening to Fu Shiren's words, he doesn't mind at all, and he adds fuel to the fire.
"Hahaha, yes... Aren't you just a brother! β
"Come, do this bottle, after this bottle, there are still three bottles!"
Glad...
Today, whether it is Guan Lin, Mi Fang, or Fu Shiren, they are all very happy!
Especially Fu Shiren, because of this "big pie", he changed his past complaints, frustration, and self-abandonment, and suddenly seemed to have found hope for moving forward.
For a while, his blood stirred again, as if flowing with the "no abandonment" and "no abandonment" embedded in the bone marrow that had been resolutely and persevering to the end just like these thirty years.
- His blood is burning, and his mood is burning and boiling!

Fan Cheng, Cao Pi's passionate voice came from the study, waking up a few sparrows that had already fallen asleep.
ββ¦β¦ No matter how fierce the thief is, the worries of Xiangfan, the trouble of Huainan, and the threat of Nanyang are just the disease of mustard moss, and what really threatens Cao Wei is the interior, which is the collusion between those clans in the Central Plains and the north and Sun Liu thieves. If there is collusion, internal and external troubles will shake Cao Wei's foundation, and this will be a big trouble for his father! β
"It is for this reason that the child presents this "Nine Grades of Officials Law", which replaces the probation system with this law! My father has repeatedly taught that the foundation of the country lies in employing people, why is the election of the Han family so chaotic? Why do you have to wait for the folk comment or the recommendation of celebrities? Why can't my father formulate a set of strict rules and regulations for the selection and assessment of talents? Let the talented advance, let the untalented retreat, and score the talent test as ninth! β
Hearing this, Cao Zhi's heart throbbed.
- "It turns out that this is the purpose of the second brother's request to see his father late at night!"
Cao Pi was excited to continue, and Cao Cao suddenly exclaimed, "Wait."
Cao Pi was startled and looked at Cao Cao's complicated expression.
Cao Cao also heard this "Nine Grades of Officials Law" for the first time, he seemed to think of something, the constraints on the highway, the darkness that has been lingering in front of him, as if a light was splitting out, let him see the king... And even the hope of the step of being called queen!
He stopped Cao Pi's words, took a quick look at the bamboo slips, then at Cao Pi, and then fixed his eyes on the bamboo slips.
He read softly the words on the bamboo slip.
"ββEach state and county shall elect one person from each prefecture and county, and the elected Dazhongzheng must be an official who serves in the imperial court and has a high moral reputation. After the large and small Zhongzheng are generated, they will divide the talents into nine grades, upper, upper, upper, middle, lower. β
In this way, celebrities from all over the world are registered regardless of whether they are out of office or not, and the list details the annual records, respectively, and comments... In this way, there is a standard for selecting officials! At first glance, the "Nine Grades of Officials Law" does solve the shortcomings of current politics, but there is only one thing, where do these Zhongzheng come from? β
"If these zhongzheng come from those families, it will not be a few years, and this "Nine Grades of Officials Law" will definitely cause 'the upper grades have no cold families, and the lower grades have no scholars', and the energy of those families will become greater and greater... What a "Nine Grades of Officials Law", is my son going to use the right to elect officials in exchange for the sincere unity of my Great Wei? You haven't even wondered, where are your roots? Your uncle? What will they think of this "Nine Grades of Officials Law"? β
Faced Cao Cao's questioning.
Cao Pi groaned slightly, and his words sounded again.
"Father, the biggest dilemma at the moment is not the clan, my father called Wei Gong, Xun Lingjun was against it, Cui Shangshu was against it, Xun Lingjun was dead, and Cui Shangshu was also dead...... How many people have died over the years? But the voices against his father are especially self-sufficient, saying that the public is like this, but what about the king? That... That... The last weigh..."
Cao Pi's voice stopped abruptly, and he quickly changed the topic, "The child doesn't know how many enemies his father still has, and the child can only find a way to turn these enemies into friends, at least reduce their hatred... Let them get tangible benefits, so that the father's rear can be stable, and the father can free up his hands to dominate the world! β
Cao Pi's words made Cao Cao groan.
- "Is this the "Nine Grades of Officials Law" that Li Cong dedicated to Zihuan? Is he going to make Lone compromise with the Warriors? Hmph..."
The anger in Cao Cao's chest rose all at once.
But in an instant, this anger was extinguished again.
Cao Cao suddenly thought.
- "Could it be, isn't this Li Lian helping Zihuan in the first place?" His purpose is to make Zihuan angry with Gu, and the person he actually wants to help is Zijian?"
Thinking of this, Cao Cao, who was about to be angry, calmed down all of a sudden.
He stared at Cao Pi with a pair of tiger eyes.
"You need prestige, you need public opinion, you need available people, and these are all things that Lone can't give you, so you choose to fight for it yourself, and when necessary, you have to use these to fight Lone?"
Cao Cao's words hit the depths of Cao Pi's heart.
Intense fear comes with excitement...
In Cao Pi's view, if he competes for favor, he can't compare to Cao Zhi in his life, but he has found another way to compete for the son, another way, found the prestige and public opinion that can make his father jealous, and found the road to a new era.
He even wanted to let out a long howl to express his heart.
But in the face of his father's cold gaze, Cao Pi suddenly became timid, "My father's employment is mostly out of his mind, or recommended by fellow villagers, or recommended by his fellow villagers, or recommended by wind reviews, and the two 'merit orders' have little effect, the fundamental crux is that my father firmly holds the power of employing people in the hands of his cronies, but this is also the crux of my father's opposition to my father's opposition after my father became a prince, and the ministers could not be united with their fathers!" β
"The child's dedication to this "Nine Grades of Officials Law" is a compromise from his father to the clan, but it is also a surrender of the clan to his father! This is for the sake of my father's great cause... Han Gaozu said that those who are not surnamed Liu cannot be called kings, but the child hopes that his father... Someday go one step further! The child hopes that Wei's method of selecting virtuous people is far better than Han's inspection, and one day, when his father becomes king, he will get the congratulations of hundreds of officials, instead of resistance and death, doesn't his father want to go further? β
Cao Pi has already spelled...
Although Li Lian reminded him "kindly", Prime Minister Cao Cheng may not appreciate the "Nine Grades of Officials Law", and even be furious.
But when Cao Pi saw the "Nine Grades of Officials Law" from the very beginning, he decided to bet his future on it.
What he gambled on was never the attitude of his father Cao Cao, what he wanted to fight for was the support of the ministers and the support of the clan!
How majestic is this force?
Cao Pi is sure that as long as he holds this power firmly in his hands, he will be invincible in the competition for the position of the prince! will be able to sway my father's thoughts, and even cancel out all hatreds!
That's when it happened.
With a "whoosh", Cao Cao suddenly turned around and drew his sword and picked off Cao Pi's coat.
Cao Pi knelt and gritted his teeth, letting his coat peel off, revealing his chest scarred by following his father in the battles over the years, which was shocking.
Cao Cao laughed angrily, "Good, good! β
His eyes were sharp, "In order to achieve the goal, we have learned to unite outsiders to fight against Lonely!" Very good, you are like a lonely son! Now that your goal has been achieved, step down, it won't be long before this "Nine Rank Official Law" will spread throughout Cao Wei, hahaha... Lonely today, I saw a son who 'dared to provoke Lonely' and 'disobeyed Lonely'! Stand down..."
With Cao Pi's retirement...
For a while, only Cao Cao and Cao Zhi were left in the room, Cao Cao took back the sword, and he asked lightly: "What do you think of the "Nine Grades of Official Law" that Fang Cai Zihuan said, Zijian?" β
Cao Zhi arched his hand: "The child came here to ask for sin, and he didn't dare to figure out his father's thoughts privately." β
"Hahahaha..."Cao Cao laughed, but there was inevitably a bit of disappointment in the laughter.
- "Sure enough, in terms of conspiracy, Zijian is too far away from Zihuan!"
I never thought about it, just when Cao Cao thought of this.
Cao Zhi arched his hand, "However, in addition to asking for guilt today, the child has two other things to report, one of which is the strategy to break the situation now, in fact... Father doesn't need to implement the second brother's "Nine Grades of Officials Law", and there is no need to compromise with the scholars..."
"The reason why the current situation is unfavorable is not the crux of the clan at all, but the morale of the officers and soldiers of the three armies, if the morale of the three armies can be restored, if Cao Wei's troops are endless, if the soldiers of the three armies are loyal to their father, then whether it is the situation in Xiangfan, Huainan, Nanyang, or the constraints of those clans... It's just a one-touch collapse! What my father wants is the heart of the army! β
Cao Zhi's words made Cao Cao's eyes widen, and for a while, the disappointment in his eyes disappeared, replaced by full expectations for this most beloved son after Cao Chong.
"Zijian said? How to boost the morale of the three armed forces? β
Cao Zhi paused for a moment and resolutely opened his mouth: "The child has the courage to offer his advice, in recent years, there have been many lonely and widowed women in various counties, and my father can recruit those widows, forcibly sever the relationship, and reward all the 'scholars' and 'soldiers'!" β
"In this way, if you get a wife in the army, you must not recruit a large number of men into the army, and those single soldiers can also be assigned a wife's room, and those who have made great contributions can be rewarded with an additional concubine!"
"In this way, how can the officers and men of the three armed forces not be convinced? How could he not be faithful to his father? How can morale not be high? And... As long as such a decree is there, these 'soldiers' will still be 'soldiers' after them, and Cao Wei will be full of 'soldiers' and 'scholars' from generation to generation, as long as the male soldiers are there! Who can shake Cao Wei's foundation! β
With Cao Pi's words.
Cao Cao's eyes were full of surprise.
He muttered inwardly.
- "Is this the ploy offered by Li Cong?"
- "What a Li Lian, where is he helping Zihuan, he is Zijian's person! In Zihuan, in Zijian, it is obvious that this method of recruiting widows is far better than the "Nine Grades of Officials Law", haha... By Zijian's side, there is finally someone who can compete with Zihuan's 'eagle-eyed wolf' Sima Zhongda!"
- "He's much stronger than Yang Xiu!"
With this in mind...
"Hahaha-"
Cao Cao laughed...
And with Cao Cao's laughter, Cao Pi, who deliberately slowed down, also heard Cao Zhi's "insight"...
- "The fourth brother has always been benevolent and filial? Kindliness? This time... How... Offering such a plan?'
Although he thinks so, Cao Pi's eyes are as deep as the sea.
He knew that such a "suggestion" was more in line with his father's usual domineering style;
It is also more in line with his father's plain style.
Cao Cao understands widows too well, and he understands the value of widows too well.
Not only does he like widows, but he can also extract great benefits from the middle squeezing!
"Hahahaha..."
Cao Cao's laughter continued, and it lasted for a long time before this laughter fell.
He patted Cao Zhi on the shoulder heavily, but he was noncommittal about his proposal.
It was Cao Zhi, and with a "snap", he fell to his knees.
"Erchen also... There is also a matter of imploring the father. β
"Zijian is pleading guilty to Lonely?"
"No!" Cao Zhi arched his hand, "The child is not guilty, why bother to ask for guilt?" The child is... I asked my father to punish that... That Yang Dezu... It was he who forged his father's handwritten letter and privately mobilized troops and horses, causing the fall of Jiangxia to the north, and the child... Child..."
In the end, Cao Zhi really couldn't open his mouth.
He couldn't do it, and put all the blame on Yang Xiu.
Cao Cao looked at Cao Zhi in surprise, he helped Cao Zhi up, looked at Cao Zhi's eyes and sighed: "I haven't seen you for a few months, Zijian has grown up and understands power and strategy!" Rather... Your heart is still benevolent, filial piety and kindness, sorry for you! β
β¦
β¦
On the Han River.
The flickering fishing fire, through the sparse black canopy, sprinkled a little bit of silver light on the surface of the river.
A black-roofed boat, with red lights, is slowly floating.
This is a canopy boat from Jiaozhou, the oars swing away, shattering the mirror image of the full moon reflected on the water, and a woman in her thirties is sitting on the bow of the boat, sighing faintly.
The woman was dressed in white and white, and the three thousand green silks as black as ink fell down like a waterfall and hung down to the slender waist.
Although it has passed its prime, the stunning cheeks still reveal the cleanest color.
It's like the flower fairy in the mountain who doesn't care about mundane things, full of moving ethereal beauty...
The eyes are circulating, and what they have in their eyes is just the light wind and clouds that sink into the bone marrow.
This woman in white is Da Qiao.
Her son, Sun Shao, walked out of the canopy and slowly walked behind her.
"Mother... Send you to Jiangling, Brother Taishi and I, there will be no worries, Hongyan can-"
One sentence was cut off in the right place.
Da Qiao's eyes were like water, she turned her head faintly, full of worry, "You know, mother... Mother doesn't want you to be like this! β
"The wild goose has been silent for a few years, but it is not gone." Sun Shao's tone was resolute, "What's more, my father's death is full of suspicions, and Brother Taishi has found some tangible evidence to prove that my father was assassinated and my second uncle... No, it's inseparable from that Sun Quan! This can't be done like that! β
"But... Before your father died, he personally gave this son to Zhongmou! β
Big Joe muttered. "He also said that if you don't decide on foreign affairs, you will ask Gongjin, and if you don't decide on internal affairs, you will ask Zibu..."
"Ghost knows, what did Sun Quan threaten his father with." Sun Shao has already recognized that Sun Quan is inseparable from his father's death, even if he is an accomplice. "Perhaps, Sun Quan is the mother, me, and... What about threatening my father with the safety of his three sisters? β
This...
Hearing Sun Shao's resolute words, Da Qiao was silent.
How could she not know?
The "wild goose" of Shao'er on this trip has risen again, and the entire Jiangdong... What a majestic gust of wind will be swept away?
Over here... What kind of rumors will it be?
Can...
If Da Qiao didn't want to know the truth about Sun Ce's assassination at all, it wasn't at all!
- That's her husband!
"You... You guys... Be careful. β
"It's good for my mother to live in Jiangling City with confidence, Brother Taishi and I will not leave Jiaozhou, and 'Hongyan' has a hundred ways to make that Sun Quan ruined!"
Sun Shao's eyes were infinitely cold, and his tone was resolute.
"What's more, it's not just my father who has died at his hands all these years..."
"His hands were already stained with bloodβ"
