Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 475 Sima Zhongda
The 12th year of Xiping, January
There are still no major changes in the temple and the place. As always, Cao Cao’s New Deal received strong resistance at the beginning, not only in the temple, but more in the place. In the place, the squires, Tyrants, and even officials, do not approve of the New Deal, and counties and counties where the New Deal is actually implemented are extremely rare.

Without the help of local officials, the New Deal could not have been implemented at all.

Even if the soldiers are dispatched, it is useless. After all, they did not do it blatantly. Most of them are passive and uncooperative, so the generals have no way to deal with it. What's more, high-ranking officials like prefects cannot be dealt with by military generals privately. , Sangong can't do it, the emperor must speak in person. Such a situation is even more difficult for Cao Cao.

Everyone thought that under such circumstances, Cao Cao would not be able to survive for too long, but they did not expect that Cao Cao did not show any irritation or impatience, and even the slightest bit of fatigue could not be seen on his face, and he was much more energetic than before!He locked himself in his study most of the day, controlling the new policies implemented across the country, and dealing with the difficulties he was currently encountering.

For the rest of the time, he wandered around Luoyang, from the countryside to street vendors, and he didn't know what he was talking about. In addition, every day, he would find time to go to the reading library. It made the officials even more angry. In just three months, Cao Cao was assassinated six times, which has already broken the record left by Wang Fu.

The emperor severely criticized Zhang He, so there were more guards following Cao Cao, not only the guards on the bright side, but also the embroidered emissaries in the dark.

Cao Cao was sitting in the reading hall, holding a book of "Political Theory", frowning, thinking, this political treatise was left by Cui Gong, and after his death, the emperor had someone copy it and put it in the reading hall , for the people of the world to watch, but many ministers scoffed at this book, and even couldn't understand what Cui Gong expressed in the book, thinking it was all nonsense.

Cao Cao didn't think so. After reading a few pages occasionally, he was fascinated by it and almost forgot to return home. In this book, Cui Gong actually put forward a statement similar to today's New Deal, but it is different from Cao Cao. , Cui Gong is even more radical. Cao Cao just wants to collect more taxes to prevent the aristocratic family from enclosing land and expanding the family property. In Cao Cao's view, as long as the tax exceeds the level of benefits obtained, the aristocratic family will not continue Expansion.

Cui Gong proposed that the land sales system should be abolished, and cultivated land should not be bought or sold!

Reading Cui Gong's books, Cao Cao always sighed, only regretting that he hadn't been able to talk to this Situ more. After he passed away, he just discovered this confidant.

"Duke Cao, have you finished reading?"

Suddenly someone asked.

Cao Cao raised his head, not far away stood a young man who looked familiar, Cao Cao recalled for a moment, then remembered his identity, looked around, and whispered back: "Do you want to read this book? "

Sima Yi nodded. He was the one who found this book first. After reading it for three days, when he was about to finish it, Cao Cao came. After he came, he never put it down again. In the museum, there is only one "Politics", just because this book is not favored by others, the rest of the books were sent to other counties.

He waited for several days, but Cao Cao didn't finish it, and he didn't dare to take it, for fear of offending the murderer.

Today, he doesn't read much when he reads Cao Cao, and spends most of his time thinking hard, so he stepped forward to disturb him.

Cao Cao smiled and handed "Politics" to him. Sima Yi bowed again, then returned to the side, opened the book hastily, and read it. Cao Cao looked at his actions and smiled. He is a good son. This son seems to be living in the reading library. For so many days, he can see this guy holding books and flipping through them every day. Not to mention, this perseverance and eagerness to learn alone will make him have a good life in the future. Great work!

Thinking to himself, Cao Cao found out "On the Hidden Fu" again, and continued to read it.

The reading hall is divided into three floors, the outermost is for scholars and students to study, the middle is for officials, and the last is the place where all officials in the court can stay. Cao Cao looked around, or Because of the affairs of the court, all the officials in the court did not have the heart to come to the reading hall. In the inner courtyard of Nuo University, there were only two of them, Sima Yi and myself. Wait a minute, Sima Yi?

Cao Cao suddenly raised his head and looked at Sima Yi.

Sima Yi was so engrossed in the books that he couldn't extricate himself, and he didn't feel Cao Cao's gaze at all.

When he saw the evening, he just closed the book, stood up, shrugged his shoulders, and felt a little sore from sitting for too long.

When he turned his head, he was startled. In front of him, Cao Cao was looking at him with a smile.

"You mean Zhongda?"

"Exactly."

"Zhongda, what kind of official and position are you in?"

"Back to Duke Cao, I am not an official"

"Then how did you get in here?"

"This"

Sima Yi was speechless, looked at Cao Cao, and said helplessly, "I hope you will forgive me!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed, then stopped suddenly, looked around, and laughed out loud here, he stopped, looked at Sima Yi, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "No need. I’m so afraid.” He added: “In the future, you can come in with me, and come a few more times, and when I’m not around, the gatekeepers won’t dare to embarrass you.”

"Thank you, Mr. Cao!"

"Hey, no problem, Zhongda, this "Politics" was cast aside by all officials as nonsense, why do you still watch it?"

"Didn't Mr. Cao watch it too?"

"I think it's because of the New Deal. Could it be that you are too?"

"I read it because I respect Cui Gong."

"That's fine, what do you think of today's New Deal?"

Sima Yi's face was calm, and he cupped his hands and replied: "Mr. Cao, the boy is dull, and he studies in the library all day and rarely goes out, so he doesn't know state affairs and cannot answer. I hope Mr. Cao will forgive me!"

Cao Cao laughed, nodded, and didn't ask any more questions. Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief. The reading hall was about to close. Cao Cao and Sima Yi were about to leave. After walking out of the inner layer, they came to the outer courtyard. Scholars and students were all gathered together, discussing in low voices, when Cao Cao came out, the outer courtyard fell silent, and no one came to pay respects to this important minister.

"Zhongda, I will use the suggestion you put forward today, thank you, the new policy needs the help of young scholars like you!" Cao Cao said, and patted Sima Yi on the shoulder kindly , and left the reading library.

Sima Yi was stunned, watching Cao Cao walk away, then turned his head to look at the scholars.

The scholars here looked at him quietly, and Sima Yi could vaguely hear words such as "serving the tiger", "traitor and scum".

It's over!

Sima Yi hurriedly slipped out of the reading room, and he noticed that there seemed to be four or five people following him behind him, which made him even more uneasy. Why did Cao Cao frame him?Why do you want to act like this?Sima Yi thought, first of all, Cao Cao has no enmity with himself, nor with the Sima family. Back then, he became the northern captain of Luoyang, which was arranged by his own Yeye!

So why does he treat himself like this?

Does he want himself to serve him, to be his help?

Thinking about it, Sima Yi couldn't help but smile wryly. In his opinion, the New Deal is bound to fail. Without him, the resistance is too great, and the New Deal is not perfect. There are still flaws and deficiencies. This cannot be settled by soldiers. , in the future, the New Deal will not only fail to enrich the treasury and suppress the big clan, but may even make the people poorer and the big clan more prosperous. In short, the New Deal is unreasonable!

He didn't want to participate in it, no matter whether it was success or failure, the officials who participated in the innovation would not end well.

How do you decontaminate yourself?

If I write an article now and scold Cao Cao, I can immediately solve Cao Cao's slander. However, Cao Cao is behind the emperor. If he offends the emperor, isn't that suicide?Regardless of whether the New Deal is successful or not, the emperor cannot provoke anger. If the New Deal fails, it will only be Cao Cao who suffers in the end. No one dares to put the blame on the emperor.

Leaving Luoyang?

Maybe it's a good way, but if you want to leave Luoyang, where will you go?
Alas, Mr. Cao. Mr. Cao, why did this happen?

Want to cry but have no tears! !

I don't go to the reading library anymore, and I don't know what evil I have committed. Once I go to the reading library, nothing good will happen.
　Brothers, the old wolf went to the countryside to meet the elders today, so the update is less, don't blame it, make it up tomorrow!
