Xiaoguangong

Chapter 254
That night came a startling and sad news.

Following Cao Cao for many years, the No. 1 scholar in Yingchuan who put forward the great idea of ​​entrusting the emperor to the princes, the outstanding scholar in the world, Ling Xun Yu died of a serious illness at home. He and Xun Yu shared joys and sorrows, and jointly supported the great achievements of the Han Dynasty.

Now that the world is about to settle down, Xun Yu actually died of illness at this juncture, it is really sad, and I can't believe that all this is true.

Cao Cao ordered Xun Yu to be buried generously, and his posthumous title was respected. He also named his son General Huben Zhonglang, and gave his family a large amount of land. Attending the funeral as Xun Yu.

Xun Yu's family cried loudly, unable to contain the grief and indignation in their hearts. Zhong Yao, who attended Xun Yu's funeral, also had a sad face, but he was still quite gentle and saluted the guests. Cao Cao was supported by Zhao Yan and Du Xi. After repaying the money, he came to Zhong Yao's side, and asked Zhong Yao to lead him to express his condolences to Xun Yu's family. The scene was generally stable.

But at this moment, a young man's shrill voice suddenly came to mind beside him:
"You are the thief who killed my father, how dare you come to my house! Get out of here quickly!"

This sharp child's voice made everyone shudder, Cao Cao was also surprised, and hurried to see who had such courage.

The guards beside him rushed forward together, and lifted a young man out of the crowd. They saw him as Xun Yi, the sixth son of Xun Yu, who was only four years old this year.

Xun Yi's face was elegant and lovely, like a good woman. He was not afraid of the many guards around Cao Cao. He kept resisting under their push and shove, and glared at Cao Cao like a raging little tiger.

Cao Cao stared at the boy, smiled slightly, trying to make his pale face look kindly.

"Liulang, why are you listening to someone's rumors when you talk nonsense?"

Zhong Yao wryly smiled and said, "Why should the prime minister be with the child..."

"Hey, this is the son of Xun Lingjun, not an ordinary child, but it's okay to say!"

Xun Yi was thrown to the ground by the guards, his small face was full of pain, but he was still unafraid, raised his head and said:
"That day my father came home from Ru's house, opened a food box, couldn't help but cry up to the sky, and said, "I endured humiliation all my life, followed the festival of humility and resignation with the ambition of loyalty, but today there is no money to eat.The prime minister wants me to die, so I should go too! ""

"I hid in the closet that day and wanted to make a play to scare my father, but I didn't expect to see this! I saw my father was sad and angry and dared not leave, but I saw my father swallowed poison and committed suicide!
I didn't know why at first, but I only found out in the past few days that my father was forced to death by you!Why do you still dare to come to my house, get out! "

Adults can restrain their emotions very well and weigh the pros and cons. Xun Yu is gone, but his family has to continue to survive, but Xun Yi is only four years old, and he only has grief and resentment in his heart, so he wants to use his blood to severely reprimand him. A hypocritical murderer in his own family.

But what he said was earth-shattering, although the secret of Xun Yu's death was revealed in one fell swoop, everyone was really dumbfounded.

"Prime Minister..." Both Zhong Yao and Du Xi's expressions changed drastically, and they couldn't wait to wink at Zhao Yan.

Cao Cao looked at this handsome and elegant young man, but he was not too angry. He just reached out and touched the top of the young man's head slowly, and said softly:
"Stop talking nonsense, child!"

Only then did everyone heave a sigh of relief, thinking that Cao Cao still remembered some of the old friendship after all, and would not care about it with a child.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao immediately ordered:
"Immediately order the school affairs to investigate this matter, Gu must ask clearly, who ordered this child to say such absurd words!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that Cao Cao was still the same Cao Cao, he would not miss any opportunity to expand his power.

Cao Cao wouldn't believe that Xun Yu committed suicide by taking poison, and neither could the Xun family. Cao Cao could kill Kong Rong's family casually. scary thing.

Both Zhao Yan and Du Xi felt a sense of sadness in their hearts.They were also born in Yingchuan, and were recommended to Cao Cao by Xun Yu before. Under the leadership of Xun Yu, the former Yingchuan family proudly served Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

But when Xun Yu was dying, he cried and lamented that he had made a mistake in his life. As the excellent talents recommended by Xun Yu, how should Zhao Yan and Du Xi deal with themselves?

So they can't believe it, let alone prevent Cao Cao from expanding the influence of school affairs through this incident.

Seeing the dejected looks of these scribes, Cao Ren felt a little happy in his heart.

Attacking the Yingchuan family is digging Cao's own roots. Cao Cao also understands this, so he dare not turn against Xun Yu on the face of it, and can only use Xun Yu's strong moral values ​​and despair of collapsed ideals to drive him to death.

If Xun Yu is as good at playing bad as Jia Xu, Cao Cao really has nothing to do with him.

On the one hand suppressing the Yingchuan family, on the other hand trying to get them to work for themselves. This is like waving a whip to urge the horse to run fast, while trying to control the mood of the good horse to prevent it from being thrown off the horse.

This requires quite extraordinary control skills, and Commander Chang Diao's school affairs are the key to all of this.

The previous battles proved that Chang Diao's ability to collect intelligence has far surpassed that of Guo Jia back then, reaching an extremely terrifying level.

Continue to increase the authority in his hands now, and he will become a sharp sword in Cao's hands in the future.

And the other sword...

Cao Ren deeply regretted that he didn't stay in Chang'an City for a while, so that he could have a long talk with the amazingly talented General Yun.

After many years of military service, Cao Ren can naturally feel that this young general has a bright future.If the Cao family wants to complete their great cause, a young hero who can continue to destroy the city and conquer the north and south is essential.

It is also God's blessing that the Cao family has two young heroes from Yunshan Changdiao. It seems that this is God's will.

Cao Ren was immersing himself in his own world and nodded slowly, when he caught something out of the corner of his eye and turned his gaze away, he saw that Sima Yi, who was huddled in the crowd, had a strange expression on his face.

Cao Cao's master shrank his hands into his sleeves without a trace. Although he was still smiling, Cao Ren could clearly feel that his fists were tightly clenched in his sleeves.

At this moment, Sima Yi's heart was overwhelmed. He looked at Xun Yi and the members of the Xun family who were weeping, and then at the colleagues who were looking annoyed at the side. For the first time, he had a feeling for the various sage books he had read. confusion and suspicion.

Cao Cao himself is a major flaw in Confucianism. According to the logic of the interaction between heaven and man, since he has no destiny, why didn't God send down a thunderbolt to kill his whole family?

He is still alive and well, almost ascending to the supreme position, but Kong Rong and Xun Yu are dead. Does this mean that God agrees with his actions?Or do you mean that as long as you have strong power, God will naturally support everything you do?
Sima Yi shook his head slowly, thinking that no one else had noticed, and fell into deep thought again.

.

A few days later, the memorial of the ministers was officially sent to the emperor.

Everyone was unanimous in saying that the prime minister's contribution is too great, and that he has worried too much about restoring the Han family.

Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty who was trapped in the palace, was annoyed and amused at the same time watching the snowflakes of the ministers playing the book.

These people still bowed down in front of themselves, but the ones they laughed at were not themselves. Now they are impatient to express their loyalty, hoping to use their performances to be praised by the new masters, just like fierce villains. The dog, baring its teeth at outsiders, wagged its tail at its master, longing for a reward from the master.

The Great Han Dynasty...

How did it become like this?
It was not the Liu family who made the king the king, and the world attacked it together.

This ancient oath has long been left behind by everyone. From today onwards, the big man may really be dead...

"I am incompetent." Liu Xie sneered heavily, which is all he can do now, "The prime minister has done too much, and I don't know how to reward him. The king...you think that being the king is enough ?"

No one dared to answer Liu Xie's yin and yang eccentricity. If you say enough, I'm afraid the Cao family will wear small shoes in the future. If you don't say enough...

Hehe, even being a king is not enough, what do you want to do?
.

Cao Cao didn't go to court today, and he was determined to win the title of king, but he was not one of those grass-headed emperors, and he always had to do some procedures slowly.

In fact, he didn't want to be so anxious at first. If he could become a prince first, breaking the rule that all officials can only be a prince, and then slowly becoming a king is the right way.

But now time waits for no one, he must speed up the progress, rely on his prestige and means to do more things, and his successors will have much less trouble in the future.

King Wu of Zhou won the world, Cao Cao couldn't do it, he could be King Wen of Zhou.

Cao Cao's persuasion form had the names of Yunshan and Changdiao on it. Cao Cao asked someone to sign it on their behalf.In addition to the temporary names added by these two people, there is another person's name on the persuasion form that is particularly eye-catching.

Sun Quan!

After the fiasco in Hefei, Sun Quan immediately wrote to Cao Cao to beg for mercy, swore to express his loyalty to Cao Cao, and offered a lot of tributes, asking for a repair with Cao Cao. Instead, he directly persuaded him to proclaim himself emperor.

Sun Quan said that the virtues of the great man have been weakened, and there is no one in the world who can be called the emperor.If there is, then there is only the prime minister.

He, Sun Quan, is willing to be the most loyal minister of the prime minister, and will always work for the prime minister.

"This little baby is putting me on the fire." Cao Cao looked at Sun Quan's persuasion table leisurely, and casually cast his eyes on Sima Yi.

"Zhongda, do you think so?"

"Yes, and no." Sima Yi said decisively, "I think that although Sun Quan is cunning, the prime minister is indeed qualified to be the emperor."

Claiming to be king is rebellion, since you want to rebel, it is better to follow through to the end, Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi's sincere eyes, and for a moment he didn't know whether he was telling the truth or irony.

After a long time, he slowly shook his head:
"It's a pity that Gu has never seen Tan Zhi.

Tell Tan Zhi to come back, no matter what, Gu wants to see him. "

After speaking, Cao Cao suddenly felt an unspeakable distress in his chest, and a large amount of bright red blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Today is a good day to become king, I have already found someone to see it...
