Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 185 Heroes See the Same Thing

"It turned out that the emperor entered Mei County alone, saw through Han Sui's tricks, and led the Ma family's cavalry to Chang'an, saving Chang'an in one fell swoop?" After telling the story of Chang'an, he obviously couldn't believe it.

Just when Xun You nodded silently with a smile, and was about to admit it, Cao Cao suddenly poured the half-empty wine bottle into his mouth, drank it down in one gulp, and said with a heroic smile: "The Son of Heaven is very human! The great man has such a talented king It should be the luck of the Han family to be born empty!"

After laughing at this sentence, Cao Cao's face turned dark again. He couldn't help drinking another bottle of wine silently, and sighed: "It's a pity that the emperor was born ten years later. If... hey!"

Xun You has heard this kind of words from different people countless times.However, he also knew why these people would praise the emperor with all their best words, and then helplessly express this regret.

After all, the Han Dynasty is now at dusk, and the scourge left over from it has reached the moment when the picture is poorly seen and the misfortune is born.Now the land of the Han Dynasty is desolate and miserable, and the people are in dire straits, and any person with lofty ideals will feel very sad when he sees it.In fact, even he, Xun You, sometimes couldn't help but imagine that if the emperor had been born ten years earlier, would the Han Dynasty today not be so chaotic?
Fortunately, Xun You has long been used to this, and even started to feel a little numb.When he heard Cao Cao take the initiative to say this, he remembered the purpose of his mission, and couldn't help but follow Cao Cao's sigh, and shift the topic to the direction he needed:

"It's really a pity. Although your majesty is talented, manpower cannot compete with the sky. Now that the Han Dynasty is full of malpractices, your majesty is very worried, but you can only burn your head. I see it in my eyes, and it hurts in my heart. Every time I think of myself as a man who eats Hanlu His ministers, but they can't relieve His Majesty's worries, it's really embarrassing."

Cao Cao is a traitor, and the first quality of a traitor is a strong curiosity.Hearing Xun You's words, Cao Cao was really interested. He said in confusion, "Gongda has all kinds of tricks and tricks, and he is not a hypocritical person. When he assassinated Dong, there was also Gongda's plan. Why are you so self-effacing now? Get up? Now that the emperor of the Han Dynasty holds great power, and young men such as Gongda and Yuan Chang have been appointed as assistant ministers, it is time to flex their muscles and rejuvenate the great Han, why is Gongda sighing so much?"

As soon as Cao Cao said this, Xun You was silent for a while, just sighed and drank the wine in the glass.Cao Cao was even more puzzled when he saw this, and couldn't help but look at Huangfu Jianshou who was even more talkative.But seeing that Huangfu Jianshou suddenly became a stuffy gourd at this time, he hesitated to speak but was indignant, and even gulped down wine to relieve his boredom.

At this time, it was time to test Cao Cao's think tanks. Cao Cao was slightly taken aback, and then set his sights on Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai on his right.The two had been listening to Xun You's words before, and they cooperated with each other from time to time, obviously listening to them in their hearts.

At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly realized something in his heart, but he didn't have a definite answer. Seeing that the faces of the two think tanks suddenly became silent, Cao Cao knew that this matter was not trivial.After waving some idlers to retreat, he said to Xun Yu, "Wen Ruo, the so-called knowing son is like a father. You and Gongda's uncle and nephew must have understood the matter of Gongda's silence just now, right?"

Xun Yu's gentle face was slightly dimmed. He, who never drank alcohol, raised his wine bottle and said, "If you are the emperor, how should you revitalize the Han Dynasty?"

"Suppress the powerful, respect the corporals, and recuperate with the people. Within three years, Guanzhong will be restored. At that time, the emperor will lead the army out of Guanzhong to conquer disobedient ministers, fight evil with righteousness, and conquer rebellion with righteousness. Han Dynasty Shun For a hundred years, the common people have all thought about it, flowing freely into the rivers and lakes, how can they not carry pots and oatmeal to welcome the master?"

As soon as this remark came out, Cao Cao was a little complacent at first.But as the words fell to the ground, his face gradually became ugly, and he finally understood Xun Yu's intention: "Restraining the powerful...that's what it is. Now the Han court is controlled by those gentry and gentry, restricting the affairs of the court." In the Eastern Commandery alone, most of the fertile land in the surrounding area is owned by the big clans, and almost half of the people are tenant farmers. So how can the people in the Guanzhong area have a place to stand, and how can they pay taxes to the court?!"

Finally, when Cao Cao said this in person, Xun You showed a secret smile on his face, but the words really came to his heart, without any pretense, Xun You naturally sighed and said: "Mr. This is exactly what His Majesty is worried about now. A few days ago, His Majesty asked for a strategy to increase income and reduce expenditure at the court meeting, but he asked all the princes in the court, and only Yuan Chang said that he opened the Royal Garden for the common people to cultivate."

Speaking of this, Xun You took a slight look at Cao Cao's face, and Cao Cao became more and more sullen. Knowing that this remark touched Cao Cao's pain, he continued to frown and said, "Chang'an is now in turmoil and Xinjing. Although Your Majesty is young, he is an old man." The king who seeks the country does not dare to attack those gentry lords lightly. He only wants to open the Guanzhong trade route in order to increase business tax revenue. Unexpectedly, there are still ministers who oppose it, forcing His Majesty to retreat hastily..."

"Hmph, they are all a group of ungrateful people! The great Han Dynasty has been established for more than [-] years, and these literati and bureaucrats are deeply indebted to the emperor's grace, so it is possible to have such a flourishing trend today. I can't imagine that when the Han Dynasty is exhausted, they don't think about it. Repaying you, keeping silent and refusing to give away your private property, but still not knowing how to change, it is really a disaster for Dong Zhuo!"

Cao Cao slapped the wine bottle heavily on the table, and suddenly got up and said indignantly: "Your Majesty is really like a bird in a cage and a fish in a net. If you want to revitalize the Han Dynasty, you must restrain the arrogance; and if you want to restrain the arrogance, you must have the ability Good ministers to assist; but how can there be a loyal person in the court now?!"

"Even if Cao wanted to select some officials in Dongjun County, those officials would recommend them, either from aristocratic families or officials' nephews. Cao couldn't compare to such embroidered pillows with false reputations, and those who recommended them were ashamed to talk to Cao. You have spoken out a set of fallacies!"

The more he talked about this, the more Cao Cao understood the feelings of the young emperor in the deep palace.He still encountered such resistance to deal with a small East County by himself, not to mention that what the emperor had to face were all real gentry lords with extensive connections and immeasurable energy.This will affect the whole body, so the emperor can't help being careful and walking on thin ice!

Xun Yu, who was at the side, saw that Cao Cao was filled with righteous indignation as he spoke more and more. Naturally, he knew that Cao Cao had jumped into Xun You's language trap willingly.

"Calm your anger. It is not unreasonable to choose some aristocratic families to govern a big country. In the current chaos, all the shepherds are trying to get closer and become friends. Recommend the nephew of the county official as Xiaolian can give favors to others, and thus become allies."

"When Suanzao joined forces, which one didn't make an oath? Such an alliance of blood is not strong, but the relationship formed by raising other people's sons as Xiaolian is reliable? How many children from those aristocratic families are worthy of the name?" Cao Cao said here, Suddenly realizing that Xun Yu and Xun You are also descendants of the Yingchuan family, he immediately added quite naturally: "Among these people, how many people like Wen Ruo and Gong Da are loyal to the country?"

"The general's reputation is too high." Xun Yu lowered his head humbly.At the same time, he looked back at Xun You, seeing Xun You's eyes full of smiles, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized a problem.

His nephew, Gongda, provoked Cao Cao's anger when he came up. Naturally, he wanted Cao Cao to stand on the same line with the emperor, and use the military might of the state herdsman and foreign ministers to deter and suppress the old ministers in the court who were seriously ill.But on the other hand, why didn't Cao Cao want to take advantage of the power of the emperor to justifiably act as an agent of the three-acre land in Yanzhou?

In this way, Cao Cao and Xun You, who is in the net and who has fallen into whose trap, cannot be easily determined!

From this point of view, my lord is not the kind of loyal minister of the Han Dynasty who is really hot-headed.On the contrary, his philosophy may really fit with the emperor who is far away in Chang'an...

Thinking of this, Xun Yu suddenly had an uncontrollable smile in the corner of his eyes: Sure enough, most of the heroes in the world see the same thing!
