Chapter 41: Speculation
In the Shu army camp, Liu Yu looked at Du Yu seriously and began to talk about what might happen in the future.
"Now that the prime minister's illness has been cured, I will ask the prime minister to accept you as a disciple and teach you personally."
In Du Yu's shocked gaze, Liu Yu slowly opened his mouth and said:
"Are you willing to become the prime minister's disciple and shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving the Han dynasty from now on?"
Liu Yu's face was solemn, while Du Yu seemed to be a little stunned, and for a while, there was an inexplicable silence in the big tent.
Seeing that Du Yu didn't speak for a long time, Liu Yu thought that Du Yu was unwilling, so he immediately frowned a little and muttered softly:
"You, don't you want to?"
At this time, Du Yu seemed to react, and hurriedly said:
"Yes, little brother willing."
"It's just that the younger brother is afraid that he doesn't have that ability and will live up to Brother Liu's expectations."
When Liu Yu heard this, he laughed excitedly, patted Du Yu's shoulder, and said excitedly:
"Don't be presumptuous, although you are still young now, but in the next twenty years, there will be few people in the world who will be your opponent."
"I am full of confidence in you, as long as you are like the prime minister, do your best, you will eventually be able to end this troubled era, unify China, and restore the Han Dynasty."
"I... Can I really do it? β
Du Yu couldn't believe that he had this ability, and Du Shu next to him stared at Liu Yu with wide eyes and incredulity.
Although Du Shu is very optimistic about his son, after all, Du Shu has behaved differently from ordinary people since he was a child, and he is talented.
However, Du Shu has never been as optimistic about his son as Liu Yu.
Can his son become or even surpass Zhuge Liang and become the one who ends the troubled times?
How is this possible?
No matter what others think, Liu Yu is full of confidence in Du Yu.
In the late Western Jin Dynasty, most of the world's famous generals withered, and who could still be Du Pre's opponent?
You must know that Du Yu is the only ruthless person who was selected for the Temple of Literature and the Temple of Martial Arts during the Three Kingdoms period.
In the history of China, there are no more than five fingers of people who can be selected for both the Temple of Literature and the Temple of Martial Arts, but Du Yu is the only one in this era.
This shows that Du Pre not only has an extremely far-reaching vision in strategy, but also has great achievements in the governance of the people.
This kind of power of both civil and military is the existence of the ability to turn the tide in the future.
Seeing that Du Yu was at a loss, Liu Yu immediately encouraged:
"Of course you can."
"Du Pre, no matter what, you have to believe in yourself."
"Time is urgent, what I say next, you have to keep in mind, this will benefit you for a lifetime, and take a head start for your future revival of the Han Dynasty."
Du Yu didn't dare to hesitate, nodded solemnly, and Liu Yu also began to tell about the next historical process.
"Although Wei is the strongest and Shu is the weakest, it doesn't mean that Wei cannot be defeated."
"Although Cao Wei is powerful, but the undercurrent is turbulent, since Wei Wu rose up in the ranks, Cao Wei has gone through three generations."
"Although Cao Ei is still a Ming Jun now, the roots of these Cao Wei are gradually rotting."
"Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the biggest problem in the imperial court is the scholars, who occupy the richest land, privately plunder and feed the people, and take advantage of the troubled times to annex land with each other."
"As a result, the taxes that the imperial court can collect are getting smaller and smaller, and the power of the scholars is getting bigger and bigger."
"The reason why Wei Wu was able to start a family was because of Wei Wu's Tuntian system, and Wei Wu appointed people on the basis of merit, and used more children from poor families."
"Therefore, on the one hand, the imperial court can suppress the rise of the scholar clan and minimize the harm of the scholar clan to the imperial court, and at the same time, it can also borrow tuntian to support the imperial court."
"But since the death of Wei Wu, Cao Pi compromised with the Shi family in order to ascend to the throne, and began to implement the Nine Grades Zhongzheng System in Cao Wei."
"Although this system can temporarily alleviate Cao Wei's embarrassment of lack of talent when it is first implemented."
"But after a long time, the court will inevitably be controlled by the scholars, and the children of the poor family will have no future in the future, and they will inevitably leave hidden dangers for the court in the future."
"Now Cao Wei has experienced the third generation of monarch Cao Rong, and his genius is talented, even if he is not disliked by Cao Pi, but he can still firmly control the government."
"However, without Cao Pi's support, Cao Rong's foundation is very shallow after all, so he can only compromise with the Shi clan again, in exchange for the support of the Shi clan for him."
"The current Cao Wei court looks peaceful, but the contradictions between the Marquis of Zhuxia and the Shi family are becoming more and more acute."
"Zhu Xiahou Cao represents the imperial family, they will not allow the scholars to encroach on their rights, but how can the scholars swallow the right to swallow their stomachs."
"Therefore, after Cao Heng's death, it won't be long before there will be a coup d'Γ©tat in the Cao Wei court, and then it will be our Shu Han's chance."
Liu Yu said a lot in one breath, and told all the contradictions that Cao Wei is facing now in one breath, only dumbfounded Du Yu, and even Du Shu, who was an official in the court, was numb by Liu Yu's scalp.
"This is purely your words, how can you be sure that Cao Wei will inevitably undergo a great change? Couldn't Zhuxia Hou Cao stand up alone and reform the Cao Wei dynasty? β
Du Yu was still in shock and didn't react, but his father couldn't help but speak.
After all, Du Shu had been a waiter of the Yellow Gate for a long time in Cao Wei's court, so he naturally still had some feelings for Cao Wei.
Liu Yu didn't care, and directly retorted:
"Lord Du has been an official in the Wei Dynasty for a short time, hasn't Lord Du discovered that the current Wei Dynasty is already full of Shi family's henchmen?"
"These scholars, headed by the Sima family, firmly occupy an unshakable position in the imperial court."
"In addition, there are so many scholars in the world, there are many talents among these scholars, and Zhuxiahou Cao, since Cao Xiu's death, there is still one person who can support the beam?"
"There is a steady stream of talents in the scholar clan, but Zhuxia Hou Cao is short of talents."
"As the Xiahou family, which started in the army, now has the descendants of the ancestors and braves, and there is only one Xiahou Ba."
"In the court, there is no real Dinghai Divine Needle, and when Cao Rong dies, the disaster of Xiahou Cao is not far away."
Du Shu Liu Yu was silent, he had played as a waiter of the Yellow Gate before, hoping that the emperor could reform the Jiupin Zhongzheng system.
However, the result was that as the proposer, Du Shu was directly demoted, and the Jiupin Zhongzheng system was untouched.
Cao Rong was still a Ming Jun at this time, didn't he know the harm of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, didn't he want to reform?
But the result was a naked slap in the face of Du Shu, and this result has shown that today's government has long been controlled by the scholars.
Even Cao Rong, who is the king of a country, cannot be easily shaken.
We can only find a way to gradually weaken the rights of the scholars, so that we can boil the frogs in warm water and completely eradicate the scholars.
At this time, Du Yu finally digested what Liu Yu said, and then asked the question in his heart, saying:
"Brother Du, since Cao Ei is a Ming army, can Cao Ei fight those scholars in the court?"
"If Cao Rong finally cleans up the scholars in the court and completes the reform, then where should we Shu Han go?"
"No, it won't."
Liu Yu shook his head and said:
"Cao Rong is still wise, but in the near future, he will begin to fall willingly."
"He is a monarch who wants to make a difference, but when he really realizes the difficulties of the government, he does not have the courage to carry out reforms."
"At that time, maybe he will feel that it will be easier and happier to be an arrogant and lascivious faint king."
"When he begins to indulge, it means that his life will not be long, and the country left by Wei Wu to his descendants will also enter the countdown."
Cao Rong was a famous monarch of a generation, but that was in the early days of ascending to the throne.
Historically, when Zhuge Liang died of illness in Wuzhangyuan, Cao Rong felt that the mountain pressing on his chest had completely disappeared, and as a result, he began to indulge continuously.
transferred Sima Yi from Yongliang back to Luoyang, and asked Sima Yi to supervise the construction of the house and palace for him.
saw a beautiful woman on the street, directly plundered back to the palace, and kept nearly 10,000 concubines and male pets in the harem, and finally died young and died on the road of indulgence.
