Cao Chao just calmly looked at Yang Zong in front of him.

The two officials beside him are like the great Han who has perished and the Jin who has not yet arrived.

A person is old-fashioned and stubborn, firmly believes in the truth of the sage, has extremely high moral requirements for himself, wants to display his ambitions, govern the world, and make peace with the people, and is a pure Han scholar.

And the other one, self-abandoned, gave up all perseverance, despaired of everything, drunk and dreamed of death, completely rotten and lying flat, contemptuous of all etiquette and rules, crazy and debauched, and was a complete Wei and Jin madman.

And Wei, who was in the Han and Jin dynasties, could see these two kinds of people at the same time.

The young Guo blame comes from the past, but the elderly Yang Zong comes from the future.

Cao Chao is not disgusted with Yang Zong, and he can understand Yang Zong now without need.

Probably a long time ago, he was also a great Han scholar like Guo Zhi, with a sincere heart, wanting to display his talents and use the principles of a saint to govern the world.

It's just that after Sima Yi launched a coup d'état, his whole person was destroyed.

He found that what he had learned over the years could not explain the actions in front of him, and he found that the skills he had mastered over the years could not solve any problems at all.

He suddenly realized his insignificance.

Therefore, he chose to give up everything.

He began to disobey, drank heavily, and spent the whole day lying in the shade of a tree, taking off his clothes, and doing nothing.

Whenever he sees Guo Zhi, he will think of himself when he was young.

Perhaps, one day, when Guo Zhi finds that what he has learned cannot save the world and has a nervous breakdown, he will also become the current Yang Zong and spend the rest of his life in a mess.

This is the process of the great Han scholar becoming a madman of the Wei and Jin dynasties.

"Yang Gong's method is not bad, I took the initiative to ask King Pengcheng to inherit the throne, make a choice on behalf of the clan, and stand on Sima Shi's side, Sima Shi has always wanted the support of the Great Wei clan, and actively encouraged his younger generations to make friends with the Cao family clan."

"He even really improved our lives, he got rid of a lot of the princes' prohibitions, reduced the number of reseals, at least the clan won't go hungry anymore."

"I have some reputation in the clan, I will show favor to Master Sima on behalf of the clan, and say, Master Sima should be so happy, maybe he can reward me with some bones to eat when the time comes."

"I just need to wag my tail, Yang Gong has a good idea!"

Hearing Cao Chao's words, Yang Zong shook his head again.

"Well, that's what I'm worried about."

"Gong Cao, it's not wrong to want to live, you don't have to say it so ugly."

"Didn't you refuse Wang Su just to survive?"

"Isn't it because you're so impatient and hungry because you're afraid?"

Cao Chao laughed, revealing his white teeth, "I'm scared, and I really want to live, but I don't want to be a dog." ”

"It's okay to want to live, but in order to survive, you have to surrender to the enemy and lead the way for others, that's the behavior of brutes!!"

"So what do you want to do, do you want to break away from the identity of the clan? Want to run? Going to Bashu? Going to Soochow? Go to the side plug? ”

Yang Zong's face also showed anger.

"Do you really think Sima Shi is an ornament? You are in Metaverse, where can you run? Do you think that if you are not the emperor, Sima Shi will not care about you? ”

"According to his character, unless you follow my words to show your kindness, otherwise, if you refuse, there is a 20% chance that he will imprison you for life!"

"There is an eighty percent probability that someone will be sent to kill you directly to prevent future troubles!"

Yang Zong said, slowly stood up, picked up the wine in front of him, and said resentfully: "Life and death, you can choose by yourself!" I've done my duty! ”

"Guo blames that guy for killing all of us sooner or later!"

"What kind of world is open and closed, the people, the saints, the morality.... The Great Han has long perished! ”

Yang Zong scolded in a low voice and left the study without looking back.

Cao Chao was left alone in the house.

He looked up and let out a long sigh.

Yes, the Great Han has perished.

The idealism of the Han Dynasty has been killed by the cruel reality, and finally became a corpse like Yang Zong that is no longer hot.

Cao Chao originally wanted to get rid of the identity of the clan, go incognito, and flee to other places.

But now it seems that this does not require the Sima family to take action, and Cao Wei's defense of the clan, even if you are demoted to a commoner, it will definitely not let you be free.

What's more, now he is facing Sima Shi.

Even if Sima Shi dies a year later, there will still be Sima Zhao.

Although Sima Zhao is not as good as his brother, he is definitely not a mediocre person, and none of the first three generations of the Sima family is easy to deal with.

As a prince of Cao Wei, in the heart of the empire, he wants to escape from the control of the temple and escape, is this realistic? ?

If you can't go ten miles, you have to be chased and killed by Cao Wei's iron cavalry, and there is no place to bury you.

But if he is an emperor, isn't that a death?

Is it only a dog that can survive?

"Bang, bang, bang."

Someone knocked on the door, interrupting Cao Chao's thoughts.

"My lord? Someone came to visit! ”

Outside the door was Liu Lu's voice.

Cao Chao got up and opened the door.

I saw Liu Lu looking at him with a smile, and there were two people standing beside him.

One old and one young.

The old man was the one who asked Cao Chao for help before, and the child next to him was his grandson.

A smile appeared on Cao Chao's face, "It's the old man, please come into the inner room." ”

The old man hurriedly shook his head, "Don't dare, don't dare, despicable people, I really don't dare to enter." ”

"It's okay, you see that even Liu Lu often comes in!"

Liu Lu scratched his head, and did not think of being despised by him, but laughed with Han.

The two were brought into the inner room by Cao Chao, and as soon as they sat down, the old man hurriedly got up, led his grandson, and bowed to Cao Chao.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! ”

"I don't dare to accept such a big gift from an elder!"

Cao Chao hurriedly helped the person up.

The old man was very happy, "Gong Cao, this morning the county sent someone to clear my son's charges in public, and announced the crime of Shuqu, this is all because of you, I am really grateful, great kindness, I really can't repay it!" ”

"No thanks."

"It's just that you have lost your son and brought such a little grandson, how will you live in the future."

The old man's eyes were bright, and he said confidently: "Gong Cao doesn't have to worry, I know some carpenter work, although I can't plow the land, but I have the ability to make a living, the two of us, we don't eat much, although my grandson is small, but he is very well-behaved, and in a while, he can come to help me do things....."

The old man was in good spirits at the moment, and he didn't have the numb and trance appearance in front of the county government at all.

Cao Chao was a little stunned, "You are optimistic, some time ago, I was still a little worried.....

"Haha, I know, Cao Gong is afraid that I will break it myself, right?"

"I still have grandchildren to take care of, how can I talk about life and death lightly?"

"Besides, my son was not buried with a stigma, and I am already satisfied, compared to other families, it is much better."

"Since you moved to Yuancheng, few people have dared to bully us anymore, and the people of Yuancheng are grateful for your kindness."

Cao Chao said: "The officials of this Yuancheng are really hateful, there is no half of them who are in charge of the people, I have heard that there were many good officials here in the past..."

"Hahaha...."

The old man laughed, "The old man has lived here for decades, and he has never seen any good officials. ”

"The people in their eyes are probably people like Shuqu, we have no farmland, no houses, we can only be called hooligans, even if we have suffered great grievances, no one has ever made decisions for us, you are the first!"

"I heard someone say that the temple wants you to be the emperor, so I said, only the real Son of Heaven can be like you."

Cao Chao frowned again and didn't speak for a long time.

The old man was a little surprised, he couldn't help but say, "Cao Gong seems to have something to worry about?" Although I am old and weak, I am a despicable person, but if Cao Gong has any commands, I can serve you. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that it's not going well recently."

"Cao Gong, everyone has some troubles, there are times when things don't go well, don't be so depressed, the prince who lives next door to my house, he has three children and five grandchildren who died in the battle in Liangzhou, and he is still trying to raise his seriously ill wife, Zhou Sheng, who lives opposite me, has a broken leg, and crawls to the plough every day..."

"We have never read, and we are not as intelligent as the nobles, and we don't know what the truth is, but how can there be any reason in the world for the living to be troubled by death?"

"No matter what troubles you have, there is always a way to solve them, besides, Cao Gong is so benevolent and blessed by God, why bother?"

The old man left with his grandson, and before leaving, he repeatedly thanked Cao Chao for his kindness.

Cao Chao looked a little dazed and stunned.

Suddenly, he reacted.

When Yang Zong was still eating, he saw Cao Chao suddenly appear in front of him.

Cao Chao grabbed Yang Zong's collar and looked him in the eyes.

"The Great Han has never perished!!"

"Huh? What do you say? ”

"The country is breaking mountains and rivers!"

"Dahan has been replaced by Wei, and Wei will be replaced by others! But this land beneath our feet! These people on the land! They will never change! In another 2,000 years, they will still be the same people!! ”

"They don't bow to predicament! Won't be defeated! I won't hide like you like this, get drunk and dream to death! ”

"I won't !! either"

"Ah???h
