Chapter 62: Singing about wine
"Congratulations to everyone who grabbed the bike, and also to Cao Cao, who is at the top of the list this time, Cao Cao can ask a question."
Liu Bei: You still need to think about it, it must be a beauty.
Li Shimin: I don't think that such an important question should be asked by the general.
Qin Shi Huang: I have never heard Miss Zhang talk about Cao Cao's survival, so maybe you can ask this question.
Cao Cao: That's true, I just want to ask Miss Zhang, what the world thinks of me, and whether I Cao Cao has been unified, how will future generations be? How many years of national foundation to keep.

"Cao Cao, the word Mengde, an auspicious, the small character Apu, Pei Guo, Han nationality. He was an outstanding politician, military strategist, writer and calligrapher in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. β
"Practicing the art of war, being good at poetry, expressing his political ambitions, and reflecting the suffering life of the people in the late Han Dynasty, he was majestic, generous and sad; The prose is also clean and tidy, opening up and prospering the spirit of Jian'an. β
"The style of the school he wrote was printed on the books we were educated in, and we learned it when we were in school."
Qin Shi Huang: To appear in the educational books of later generations, admire and admire!
Li Bai: When you sing about wine, life is geometric! Like!
Du Mu: Lao Ji is in the woods, aiming for thousands of miles, the twilight of the martyrs, and the heart is strong.
Du Fu: Fortunately, even ah, the song is a song. This is to express your ambition in poetry!
Liu Che: I really didn't expect Cao Cao to be so powerful.
Qianlong: I'm not bad.
"Cao Cao is not inferior to some poets in terms of poetry, he can govern the country, he can lead troops to fight, even calligraphy, poetry is not weaker than others, his "Viewing the Sea", "Turtle Although Shou", "Short Song Xing", etc., are widely circulated."
"Speaking of Cao Cao, how can you not talk about the Three Kingdoms."
"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, divided into three kingdoms, there were three regimes coexisting in this period, namely Cao Wei, Shu Han, Sun Wu, in a certain period of time, the strength of the three parties was balanced, and no one could destroy anyone, because Cao Cao did not call the emperor in his life, and in the later period, Cao Pi called the emperor, which became the situation of the three kingdoms."
However, in the later period, most of us called it the "Three Kingdoms" and "Shu Wei" period. β
Yuan Shao: Why didn't you have me?
Sun Quan: Called Shu Wei, where did you put my Wu Kingdom?
"Because the foundation of the country is different, the goodwill is different. The founding kings of Wei and Shu were Cao Cao and Liu Bei, both of whom were people who personally fought the world, and in the process, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, swept away LΓΌ Bu, and unified the north, an achievement that no one could compare at the time. β
Liu Bei was a grassroots, self-made man, and after a lot of hardships, he finally established his own power in Shu, during which he dealt with his most powerful opponent, Cao Cao, who even Cao Cao considered the most difficult person to deal with. Coupled with his aim of reviving the Han Dynasty, it is easy to get people's support. And Sun Quan inherited his father's and brother's inheritance, and it didn't take much effort to get it, so naturally he didn't get people's favor. β
Sun Quan: Is it wrong for my son to inherit his father's business......
"Even if you have a good impression, you have a share in the Three Kingdoms, and the world will remember it."
"From the turbulent times of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, I have to start with Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty."
"The development of the Eastern Han Dynasty was rapid in the early and middle periods, but in the later period, due to the poor management of some emperors, the development was slow, and even the development of the Eastern Han Dynasty gradually declined. The period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was an important turning point in the decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the power of the eunuchs was huge due to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty's trust in the eunuchs, and the emptiness of the treasury further accelerated the decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty. β
Among them, at the end of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, because he was unable to make an edict in time, the heir to the throne of the Eastern Han Dynasty could not be determined, which led to continuous internal disputes in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which greatly consumed the strength of the Eastern Han Dynasty and led to the further decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty. So should Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty be responsible for the decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty? I don't think the decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty is all the responsibility of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. β
"Maybe Emperor Han Ling himself didn't expect his physical condition to take a sharp turn for the worse. Although Emperor Ling of Han rarely went to court in the later period of his health, Emperor Ling of Han did not expect that he would die suddenly, so Emperor Ling of Han did not have time to leave an edict. If Emperor Han Ling's physical condition had not deteriorated sharply, then Emperor Han Ling would have had time to leave a candidate for the heir to the throne, at least there would be no Han internal fighting. β
"It is precisely because Emperor Han Ling did not leave an edict that it led to the internal division into two factions, resulting in internal chaos, and some people speculate that perhaps Emperor Han Ling's edict has already been established, we all know that any emperor will write and hide the heir's edict when he is in power, because the emperor does not know if there will be an accident. Therefore, the emperors of all dynasties will write the edict in advance to determine the heir, and it is unknown who this edict will be handed over, anyway, the edict did not appear later. β
"After the death of Emperor Han Ling, both the queen and the minister would definitely look for the edict, but in the end, they did not find the edict of Emperor Han Ling. This shows that there are two possibilities, either there is no establishment, or the eunuchs hide the edict, and do not want the ministers to know the heir that Emperor Han Ling wants to appoint, I myself prefer the second option, and the next words, maybe you can be confirmed. β
Although Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty did not leave a clear heir, under normal circumstances, it must be succeeded by the eldest prince, which is also the usual practice of the royal family in previous dynasties. Therefore, it is a legitimate thing for Liu Wei to be the emperor, and no one will question it. However, the eunuchs insisted on letting King Chen Liu ascend the throne because of the order conveyed by Emperor Ling of Han when he was dying. β
Qin Shi Huang: This is learning from Zhao Gao! Perhaps it would be a mistake to hand over the edict to the eunuchs.
Liu Che: Don't forget, the First Emperor, even the ministers you trusted betrayed you, who do you say this edict should be handed over?
"Because Liu Wei is the son of Empress He, once he ascends the throne, he will definitely stand in Empress He's camp, which is a result that the eunuchs don't want to see."
"Empress He has always wanted to weaken the strength of the eunuchs, so the eunuchs want to support King Chen Liuwang to continue to hold on to the power in his hands. The reason why it is believed that the eunuch hid the edict is also because there were only eunuchs who accompanied Emperor Han Ling in the end, and if Emperor Han Ling made an edict, he would definitely tell the eunuch the specific location, so it is likely that the eunuch hid the edict in order to control the power. β
"Under normal circumstances, even if the eunuchs support Liu Xie, it will have no effect, because since Empress He and the ministers have decided to let Liu Xian take the throne, the eunuchs have no ability to refute it. However, the eunuchs have been developing their strength and have been able to compete with the forces led by Empress He, which has led to no way for Liu Wei to sit on the throne. β
"If the eunuchs' power was not particularly large, or if the eunuchs did not insist that Liu Xie succeed to the emperor, then the Han family would not have fallen into chaos. Although the eunuchs insisted on supporting Liu Xie for their own interests, it was also blamed that the ministers did not weaken the eunuchs' strength in time, resulting in no way to suppress the eunuchs. β
