Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 168 Collecting public opinion and helping Cao Cao rise to power (4)
"This... Regarding the matter of being promoted to Sikong, since Mr. Ling Jun has already made up his mind, the students will not say anything more." Sima Yi saw that Xun Yu had indeed made up his mind to resign Sikong's position, so he had no choice but to let it go. After a moment of quiet thinking, I just answered, "Students have recently read the "Historical Records" deeply, thinking about the struggle for hegemony between Chu and Han, and think that the reason why the Han can defeat the Western Chu is entirely because the Han has the strengths of the three heroes of the commoner, while the Western Chu Chu is invincible."

"That's right. At that time, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty had Zhang Liang, a counselor who was "planning a strategy and winning a thousand miles away", Xiao He, a wise minister who "maintained the country, caressed the people, paid them, and kept food and roads", and there was a "company With a crowd of millions, Han Xin is the famous general who must win a battle and overcome a battle, and Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, has the power to lift a tripod and sweep a thousand troops, but he is powerless in the end." Xun Yu straightened his face , said leisurely, "Speaking of it closer, the rebel Lu Bu of this dynasty is not the brave champion of the three armies, enough to be the enemy of ten thousand people? In one dynasty, he was bound to the white gate tower, and the head of the owl made the capital! Since ancient times, the intention Those who conquer the world, only those who can gather their strengths will win, while those who rely on their own wisdom and manage alone will lose. What does Zhong Da think?"

"'Since ancient times, those who want to conquer the world, only those who can gather together will win, while those who rely on their own wisdom and self-management will lose.' Teacher Ling Jun's words are enough to be a lesson for all generations!" Sima Yi listened, Slowly nodded, and said in thought, "However, the students think that Emperor Han Gaozu was able to defeat Xiang Yu and rule the world, but he only borrowed the strengths of the three masters of the commoner, and the three masters of the commoner were all loyal and obedient people. It was borrowed by Emperor Gaozu. Borrowing the power of others to pacify the world will eventually be difficult to stabilize the foundation. According to the students, if Emperor Gaozu of Han could combine the wisdom of Zhang Liang, the ability of Xiao He, and the talent of Han Xin, he would be able to take on the great responsibility alone. Clean up the whole world, and bring all the wastes into order, without being ridiculed by Han Xin later as 'a great treasure bestowed by heaven, and gaining power by luck'!"

"It's a combination of Zhang Liangzhi's wisdom, Xiao He's ability, and Han Xin's talent, and he's the only one to take on the great responsibility"!" Xun Yu couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, his eyes were deeply focused on Sima Yi's face, and he stared at him. After a long time, he said slowly, "It's just that such an unrivaled genius can be said to be rare in a thousand years, and almost no one can match it! It is too kind for the heavens to give me three heroes in common clothes; The whole world can be determined by Gu Jian!"

Sima Yi's heart skipped a beat when he saw him, his thoughts changed quickly, and he quickly bowed and said solemnly: "Teacher Ling Jun has Zhang Liang's wisdom in the temple and Xiao He's ability to govern the country, and Prime Minister Cao has Han Xin's ability to use troops like a god." Talent. According to the students, the current troubled times can finally be settled with the cooperation of Teacher Ling Jun and Prime Minister Cao."

After hearing this, Xun Yu couldn't help but gave a deep wry smile, then raised his eyes to look at the wisps of green smoke rising from the golden censer, and after a while of silence, he sighed leisurely: "If this troubled world cannot be calmed down in time, So what? What if the final decision is made? What will happen after the seven heroes of the Warring States period contend for hegemony, while the Zhou family still exists, and the rites and teachings are still flourishing; Whose hand? How do you know that today's chaos is not the blessing of the Han Dynasty?"

Hearing Xun Yu's vague and pointed deep sigh, Sima Yi's heart suddenly trembled, and cold sweat broke out on his back.Teacher Ling Jun is secretly ridiculing Prime Minister Cao, just like Qin Shihuang took Zhou to stand on his own, destroying princes, cutting down the Han Dynasty, seizing great power, and seeking dominance!He didn't dare to listen any longer, and hurriedly said: "The students can't bear the common people struggling and crying in this troubled world, and sincerely hope that Teacher Ling Jun can assist the prime minister to work together to wipe out all rebellions, clear the universe, and return the world A peaceful and prosperous world for all people!"

When Xun Yu heard him say such ridiculous things to himself at this time, he couldn't help squinting at him. Seeing that he was still looking at how he answered in a serious manner, he changed his mind, and realized that he was avoiding the situation just now. The topic, so he also smiled slightly: "Return the people of the world to a peaceful and prosperous world? This is something that the teacher will never forget! However, the teacher has always had a premonition that this matter seems to be impossible in the hands of the teacher. Well, it seems that it is difficult to complete in the hands of Prime Minister Cao. It is estimated that after 30 or [-] years, in the eyes of your generation of wise and capable ministers, you should be able to see the ray of dawn..."

When Sima Yi heard Xun Yu speak so negatively and bluntly, he suddenly realized something.There was a secret movement in his heart, but he didn't ask any more questions, just lowered his eyebrows and waited quietly for Xun Yu to speak.

After a while, Xun Yufu looked at him gravely again, hesitated to speak a few times, and finally asked: "Actually, Zhongda, my teacher has always wanted to ask you a question. If you can choose freely, Do you choose to be a small fish in a big pond, or do you choose to be a big fish in a small pond?"

Seeing that Xun Yu no longer brought the topic of conversation to current events, Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, pondered for a moment, slowly considered his words, and said very carefully: "Actually, it's okay to be a small fish in a big pond. , being a big fish in a small pond, for students, there are advantages and disadvantages, and there are gains and losses. But under the consideration in front of students, they are still willing to choose to be a small fish in a big pond. Because Students firmly believe that as long as time passes, students will definitely grow into a big fish in a big pond!"

"Zhuge Liang from Nanyang and Zhou Yu from Jiangdong are young men of the same age as you. What they choose is to be a big fish in a small pond. Because they can use it quickly and make meritorious deeds quickly. It's quick to become famous, so it's a shortcut." Xun Yu smiled lightly at the corner of his eyes, as if he had already guessed his answer, and looked at him quietly for a long time before he said, " But Sima Zhongda, your eyes are sinking, and you silently chose to be a small fish in a big pond! With this toughness of being willing to be lonely and able to bend and stretch, the teacher has to look at you differently! But, It's not so easy to be a fish in a big pond! You probably have to wait until many big and small fish are old and sick and die before you, and then you will have the day to become a leader, which requires a long wait It's only good to deal with cleverly..."

"Thank you, Teacher Ling Jun, for your guidance. The students will remember it." Sima Yi replied calmly without changing his face.

"By the way, Zhongda, are you still doing well in the position of Dongcao subordinate in the prime minister's mansion? If you don't think it's going well enough, my teacher wants to transfer you to Shangshutai to be the head of Duzhi Shangshu who is in charge of the world's wealth. The official rank is really two thousand stones," Xun Yu picked up the "rhinoceros horn cup", drank the tea in the cup, then looked at Sima Yi, and said gracefully, "What do you think?"

"This...student is very satisfied with his job as the Dongcao subordinate in the Prime Minister's Mansion. For the time being, he has no idea of ​​letting go of the official." Sima Yi hastily bowed and thanked him deeply, "Thank you, Teacher Lingjun, for your support everywhere. Student Unforgettable."

Xun Yu held the "rhinoceros horn cup" in his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time, then gently put it back on the table, and said leisurely: "There is no need to be so polite between you and my teacher and students. Anyway, you The teacher accepted the 'rhinoceros horn cup'. However, there is an old saying: 'If you come and don't go, it is indecent.' As a teacher, I have something in return for you, so don't refuse it." Xun Yun winked.Xun Yun understood and withdrew from the hall.

"How...how did this happen?" Sima Yi blushed when he heard it, waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Teacher Ling Jun's move really killed the students!"

Just as he was refusing, he saw Xun Yun coming to the hall with a brocade box in both hands, and handed it to Sima Yi.

The brocade box was slowly opened in front of his eyes, and there was a crescent-shaped jade ring the size of a palm on the yellow silk cushion inside, the whole body was white and moist like crisp.What is particularly amazing is that there is a striking purple pattern coiled around the body of the jade jue, which looks like a dragon, which is vivid and mighty when it is coiled and pitched.

"Purple Dragon Jue?" Sima Yi was taken aback, "Is this the rare treasure that was said to have been hired by Zhou Wenwang Sangu Weibin to invite Jiang Taigong to come out of the mountain—Purple Dragon Jue?"

"That's right." Xun Yu nodded deeply, and said slowly, "This treasure was given to him by Xu Shao, the No.1 scholar in Guanzhong, who evaluated him as a 'Wizard for the World'. After knowing this, I have come to visit him many times in person. My teacher despises his character, and I have never shown it to him. Now, my teacher presents this treasure to you—I hope you can see it Make aspirations, work hard, and become a great weapon of a generation as soon as possible, and make great achievements for our great Han Dynasty!"

"Recover Sangong" is false, "Abolish Sangong" is true

"Father, you are too polite to Sima Yi!" After Sima Yi left the mansion, Xun Yun finally couldn't hold back, and said to Xun Yu, "My child always thinks that Sima Yi's city mansion is very deep, and the reality is unpredictable. I'm afraid father No matter how much sincerity your lord has paid to him, it may not be able to influence him. Moreover, the Sima clan has been too close to the Cao family since the time of Jingzhao Yin Sima Fang. They will not stand with us While dealing with Prime Minister Cao..."

Xun Yu sat quietly on the wooden couch, staring deeply at the entrance of Yuxian Hall, as if seeing Sima Yi still standing there.After a long time, he sighed and said: "Yun'er, you are right. The Sima clan is indeed very close to the Cao family, and a father must be wary of them. Today's meeting with Sima Zhongda During this conversation, my father expressly hinted in many ways, and I just hoped that they would not be too attached to the Cao family. Of course, it would be best for them to stand on our side; The family aids the tyrant...

"This Sima Yi, don't underestimate him. Remember Weifu's prophecy today. In about 20 years, no matter how the situation changes, he will stand out, and he will definitely overwhelm Weifu! Alas! He kissed and caressed him, showed his kindness in many ways, and why didn't he reserve a way for my family of the Xun family? Yun'er! No one should take lightly a generation of outstanding figures like Sima Yi! He has a deep heart for the city. However, his words and deeds are always reasonable, calm and moderate, and there is no trace of violation of etiquette and law. You should not be too harsh on him. If you are blindly critical, it will make him go crazy. It does not conform to my Confucian way of loyalty and forgiveness!"

"This... my child understands." Xun Yun hurriedly nodded and replied.
