Chapter 2149 Breaking the story
The night is heavy.
No one is still.
There is a time for feasting.
?After Guo Jia got drunk, the banquet gradually came to an end in the middle of the night.
I don’t know whether it was the effect of alcohol or the difficulty of calming down his thoughts. Cao Cao returned to the backyard and still had no intention of sleeping.
After the hustle and bustle, there is emptiness, and behind the bustle, there is only loneliness.
??Cao Cao couldn''t understand Fei Qian''s approach, not because he was not smart, but because his thinking was completely different from Fei Qian''s. They were two completely unrelated strategies for governing the country.
??Cao Cao held his head, and his chaotic thoughts, stimulated by alcohol, made Cao Cao feel that his head started to hurt again.
??The sound of scattered footsteps came, and Cao Pi''s voice sounded outside the door: "Father, Wan''an..."
In the morning and dusk, as a child, this etiquette is indispensable in the Han Dynasty. Even Cao Cao drinks in the middle of the night tonight, Cao Yu must wait until he invites before he can go back to rest.
Of course, if Cao Cao had previously ordered that Cao Pi did not need to greet him today, then he could be exempted. However, Cao Cao''s mind was outside all day today and he did not bother to come to the inner court, so naturally he did not give instructions on these trivial matters...
Cao Pi was very sleepy.
Young people always feel that they don’t have enough sleep, and Cao Pi is the same. He originally thought that he would say hello at the door as usual, and then Cao Cao would respond and go back to sleep. However, he did not expect that Cao Cao would be uncharacteristically uncharacteristic today...
PI''er? Come in and talk..."
??Cao Pi couldn''t help but rolled his eyes. It''s dark in the middle of the night. What should we talk about? Is there anything we can''t talk about tomorrow, uh, wait until dawn?
?But the next moment, Cao Pi lowered his head obediently and walked in to pay homage, "Have you met your father...Is your father okay?" 』
‘Well…’ Cao Cao waved his hand and pointed to the seat beside him, ‘Sit down. 』
… … …) … … …‖ Cao Pi''s nose moved slightly, but he didn''t say anything.
"Today...I returned home as a filial piety..." Cao Cao chuckled twice, "I am very happy...my son, do you know where this happiness comes from?" 』
“It’s natural to be very happy when you get talented people back...” Cao Pi replied.
??An indescribable smile appeared on Cao Cao''s face. Although the corners of his mouth were raised, it seemed as if he was being pulled up by force, "Haha... talents... not only talents, but also people''s hearts..."
??Cao Pi responded and said, "Yes, those who win people''s hearts can get Dao''s help... and they are congratulated by my father..."
What Cao Pi meant was that as long as you are happy, old man, everyone can go back to sleep after the matter is over. But unexpectedly, Cao Cao said, "The human heart... So, what is the current human heart like?" 』
"ah? ” Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, quickly glanced at Cao Cao’s face, and couldn’t answer for a while.
“During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were Guan Gong first and then Shang Jun. What was the way? Can it win the hearts of the people? ” Cao Cao smiled, as if he had thought of something interesting.
? ? Guan Zhong adopted state-owned economics in the economy, that is, all industries that can make money and have high profits are state-owned, well, including those and so on... and then the court will monopolize the operations and obtain high profits.
?This kind of economic policy is conducive to the rapid concentration of wealth and the strengthening of national strength. When the total economic volume is not large, it can prioritize the economic interests of the country, ensure that the court has the greatest wealth, weaken the power of local nobles, and contribute to social stability. In times of foreign war, the central court was also in an advantageous position because it had more financial and material resources to deploy.
Shang Yang went a step further and strictly restricted the entire country, using agriculture to support war, and using war to promote agriculture, and concentrated all the country''s power on war and agriculture. This was actually a wartime economic system. When the world is in conflict, the advantages of this system are naturally self-evident.
Therefore, the state of Qi used Guan Zhong to unite the nine princes, and the state of Qin used Shang Yang to unify the world.
Later, because the two of them succeeded, this economic policy was recorded and followed. Even if the social structure changed later, the economic policies of Guan Zhong and Shang Yang were still effective and respected by Confucians. This policy was also the "good policy" that many later ruling classes had in mind.
The economic policies of Guan Zhong and Shang Yang are like two "standard answers" hanging in plain sight. As long as you copy them, you can get a good score. Therefore, many people in later generations will refer to economic strategies as Talking about Guan Zhong and Shang Yang, he took them out and copied them.
?Even Zhuge Liang in history could not handle a problem like this well, let alone Cao Pi. Hearing Cao Cao ask this, Cao Pi murmured for a long time, and finally said, "Maybe we can get it..."
???Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Shang Jun, let''s not mention it...the policy of managing public affairs, the management of important and minor powers, and the business of managing mountains and seas...But if there is no Duke Huan of Qi...hum..."
The life of Guan Zhong is actually quite magical. When he was young, Guan Zhong was relatively dissolute. He worked as a businessman, served in the army, and also worked as some low-level local officials with smaller official positions. He was soon dismissed and became unemployed...
?Later, Guan Zhong met Bao Shuya, and the term came into being, Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya''s acquaintance, cough cough cough cough...
When Guan Zhong was doing business, his partner was Bao Shuya, and he was very generous. Guan Zhong took more money than he gave out, but Bao Shuya didn''t take it seriously. He even recommended Guan Zhong, making Guan Zhong once again become an important figure in assisting Prince Jiu from a commoner. Officials.
As a result, Guan Zhong is a man who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
Not to mention that Guan Zhong cheated Bao Shuya in business. When Qi Xianggong wanted to determine the heir, he did not miss the old relationship at all. In order to help the young master, he went after the young master Xiaobai and Bao Shuya for personal purposes. Assassination of young master Xiaobai, if Xiaobai had not been clever enough to pretend to be dead, there would have been no Duke Huan of Qi later.
Gongzi Jiu failed in his fight for the throne, and Guan Zhong was of course implicated. Then Bao Shuya truly loved Guan Zhong and recommended Guan Zhong to Duke Huan of Qi again. And Prince Xiaobai, also known as Duke Huan of Qi, accepted Guan Zhong? Obviously he couldn''t accept it at first, after all, Guan Zhong almost killed him, but under Bao Shuya''s enlightenment, he was later willing to meet Guan Zhong, and only then did he have a long conversation all night long, and Guan Zhong came back to life.
Being greedy for petty advantages, repaying kindness with hatred, using unscrupulous means and other bad behaviors, it can be said that without the support and affirmation of Duke Huan of Qi, Guan Zhong would definitely be like a rat crossing the street with everyone shouting and beating him, and he would end up in panic.
So what now?
Even if Cao Cao wanted to carry out reforms and correct some mistakes like Guan Zhong so that the Han Dynasty could ascend to the throne like Duke Huan of Qi, would the Emperor Liu Association support Cao Cao?
??Cao Cao''s smile remained the same, but the sadness hidden in the dark shadow of his smile was as deep as thick ink.
Fei Qian is different. Around him, there is neither oppression from above nor entanglements from the surroundings. But Cao Cao''s slightest movement here is like falling into a quagmire...
Why?
Why did it become like this?
What needs to be done in the future?
??Cao Cao was thinking about something, and Cao Pi didn''t know what to say, so the room fell silent for a while.
?After a while, Cao Pi couldn''t resist the temptation of the Sandman. Although he thought that he couldn''t sleep, his eyelids began to fight and he couldn''t open them anymore...
ε=(ο｀*)))alas…』
??Cao Cao turned his head and saw Cao Pi swaying. He sighed, and then he had no intention of continuing to talk to Cao Pi, so he woke up Cao Pi and asked him to go to sleep.
??Cao Pi immediately relaxed his eyebrows, bowed without hesitation, turned around and left, muttering in his heart, Father is really... such a small thing can do so much!
??If it weren’t for the fact that you are my father, I would have turned against you!
Delaying my sleep!
?It’s really…
…(╯︵╰)…
?I feel like there are people around me who are making trouble, and Cao Pi is not the only one. And Sun Quan.
?During this period, Sun Quan felt that there was really nothing going on around him, and nothing was broken. After turning two pages of the book, I felt that it was a shabby book with nothing interesting to read. After riding on the boat for a long time, I felt that the boat was shabby. It hurt my buttocks to sit on it. What I ate and drank was a pile of shabby fish and shrimps, which was stuffed between my teeth and I felt disgusted...
As for people and things, it was even more damaging to Sun Quan’s mood.
Zijing! Sun Quan sneered, holding the desk, "Oh, this is quite new. Why can''t I kill this traitor?" Is there any room for forgiveness? ! 』
??The fleet will overtake Wu Commandery in two days, and Sun Quan''s anger over Sun Fu''s incident has obviously not been extinguished, and has even become more and more intense. Lu Su could no longer sit still and approached Sun Quan.
Some people’s anger will gradually diminish when they look at the scenery of water, sky and mountains, but for some people, no matter what they do, as long as their anger is not extinguished immediately, it will get bigger and bigger...
Sun Quan is the latter.
In the past two days, I went down the road all the way, and did not suddenly become cheerful because of the magnificent mountains and rivers, but because of thinking about what happened during this period, it became more and more angry. I worked hard to fight in the field, but a bunch of dogs were causing trouble at home. I was so smoky that I was almost killed by Cao Jun. A bunch of dogs were hiding behind and causing trouble. I was expanding my territory and almost got infected with the epidemic. What a bunch of dogs. Dogs only know how to gossip!
??The more I think about it, the more unwilling I become, and the more I think about it, the angrier I become. My eyeballs gradually become bloodshot, my triangular eyelids gradually pull up, my nostrils become larger, my eyebrows stand up, I grind my teeth and clench my fists...
The above are all in my heart.
On the outside, Sun Quan is still very good at pretending... well, he has a very stable aura.
??It''s a pity that Lu Su still saw it, and of course Zhou Yu could also see it, but the problem was that Zhou Yu couldn''t persuade Sun Quan, because Sun Quan didn''t believe Zhou Yu at all, and even doubted whether Zhou Yu had ulterior motives when he said that.
My lord, please step aside. ” Lu Su said slowly.
?Sun Quan was silent for a moment, waved his hand, and asked the attendants and guards to exit the cabin.
?The sound of water surged and the boat rocked.
Do you think, my lord, you can compare with Duke Huan of Qi? Lu Su said.
Sun Quan frowned and asked, "What does Zijing mean?" 』
“As the saying goes, those who can protect the country for a long time should be able to do well in the end. Lu Su said slowly, "Nowadays, the princes stand side by side, each pursuing his own plans. The one who can do good will be the leader. The soldiers stand side by side, choosing the best place to live. The one who can do good will be the first... In the past, when Duke Huan of Qi succeeded to the throne, If a country is subjugated and waiting to survive, and a country in danger is waiting for peace, if it neglects virtue and enjoys pleasure, goes against the plan and works for the people, only seeks to have a clear mind, regardless of the needs of the country, dare to ask how Qi can dominate? "Poetry" says, "There is no beginning for luxury, and there is an end for failure." I wonder if your lord thinks so? 』
?Sun Quan had a stern look on his face and said, "Zijing''s intention is that someone still wants to forgive this kind of rebellion?" ! This is treason! It is an unforgivable sin! 』
Lu Su nodded and did not argue with Sun Quan on this issue, but said: "My lord, please be at peace... In the past, Duke Huan of Qi had been in power for several years, and there were many fornicators in the southeast. So he conquered Chu in the south, crossed Fangcheng, and looked at Wen. The mountain sent tribute silk to the Zhou Dynasty. No prince in Jingzhou dares not to submit. Another expedition to the north by mountain soldiers, cutting down isolated bamboos and returning south. None of the seaside princes dare not refuse to submit. Crossing Taihang and Pier Rivers, we pass through Kuxia, and then we pass through Liusha and Xiwu. No princes from Yuebin dare not to come and submit... Just like the current hussar general, when Pingbaibo conquers the Black Mountains, no one dares to come to the north to conquer, Li Guoping conquers the Western Regions, no one in Yongliang dares to fail to submit, no one dares to fail to conquer Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu, and no one in Jindi dares to fail. Do you dare to submit..."
?Sun Quan raised his eyebrows.
??How come we are talking about General Fei Qian again?
"Qi Huangong has three hundred fine chariots and ten thousand soldiers. As the leader of the army, he marches across the sea, and no one in the world can stop him. He reaches Shiliang in the south, Fengguo in the west, and Lingzhi in the north..." Lu Su continued, "Then For example, Cao Mengde led 300,000 troops from Qingzhou, conquered the Yuan Highway in the south, and conquered Yuan Benchu ??in the north, pacified Qingxu, and controlled the Central Plains... Just like Fei Ziyuan, Cao Mengde''s generation has never heard of killing blood brothers in the clan to become their business..."
How brave! ” Sun Quan slapped the table with a vicious slap, “Lu Zijing! Do you think I dare not kill you? ! 』
?Sun Fu is the son of Sun Qiang, and Sun Qiang is the elder brother of Sun Jian. Therefore, Sun Fu is Sun Quan''s brother within the fifth service. Lu Su''s words were very sharp and went straight to the core of the problem. Whether it was Duke Huan of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, or Cao Cao Fei Qian today, his prestige was earned, and could not be gained by killing just a few people...
『Lord, calm down! If you kill one person, Jiangdong can be conquered. Please kill him quickly! Seriously, no complaints! Lu Su fell to the ground and kowtowed loudly.
After all, the cabins are all made of wooden planks...
?Sun Quan took a deep breath and then said, "Get up...sit..."
"In the past, Shennong conquered Busui, Huangdi conquered Zhuolu, Yao conquered Huandou, Shun conquered Sanmiao, Yu conquered Gonggong, Tang conquered Youxia, King Wen conquered Chong, King Wu conquered Zhou, Qi Huan fought and conquered the world..." Lu After thanking Sun Quan solemnly, he sat down again and continued, "Now my lord has the world in mind, encompassing all the seas, and has the ambition to help the country, save all people from the suffering of hanging, quell the harm of the Eight Desolations and the sword, and have made great achievements..." I am very respectful to you, and I am willing to serve my lord’s great cause with all my heart, and I will not hesitate to die..."
?This sounds much better...
?Sun Quan hummed and stroked his beard.
Lu Su knew Sun Quan''s temper. If Sun Quan was not allowed to express his anger first, Sun Quan would definitely not listen to anything. Therefore, Lu Su took the risk to first anger Sun Quan and then appease him, which obviously made Sun Quan''s mood worse. It feels a little calmer and I can hear some things...
Lu Su continued, "My lord, Guan Zhong once shot at Duke Huan of Qi, but Duke Huan of Qi pardoned him, and then there were five heroes of Guan Guan. Ning Qi can make food and grass worry-free, a prince becomes a father and can fight bravely, guests must have law and order, and Xi Peng can''t After surrendering in battle, Dong Guo Ya can directly rebuke his merits and demerits... Shu is not talented and dare not compare himself to Dong Guo Ya, but with a strong heart, he is also willing to help his master become the king of Qi..."
?Sun Quan nodded and said, "I am very pleased that Zijing has the courage to remonstrate directly... But can this thief be compared to Guan Zhong?" Zijing could not help but exaggerate. 』
“My lord, I don’t know whether there should be a plane tree first and then attract good birds to roost, or whether now that a good bird is seen, it should look for the plane tree urgently?” Lu Su said, "Can you conquer the world by killing one person?" If it is possible, then kill it directly. If not, why not use it to lure it? 』
Sun Quan frowned deeply, "He is treasonous!" If treason can be pardoned, who wouldn''t tolerate it? 』
『My lord is wrong! This matter is still uncertain! Lu Su said, "There is something fishy about the confusion of sentences and chapters!" If the lord calmly thinks about it, he will surely understand... If the lord conquers it, it will be treason; if he does not conquer it, it will only cause chaos among the people! 』
‘Civil chaos…’ Sun Quan frowned.
?? Sun Quan actually doesn’t have much ill feelings toward Sun Fu. When they were young, they even went hunting and drank wine together. But now he bites Sun Fu because Sun Quan feels threatened by the generals of the Sun family...
The most crucial point is that Sun Ce’s son...
The Han family''s principle is that the father dies and the son inherits the inheritance. The brother dies and the younger brother dies. This is the barbarian style!
?Of course, it sounds so plausible on the surface, but in fact it’s because a weak leader will inevitably be stronger than the side branch…
Coupled with the constant mixing of sand by the Jiangdong gentry, it was natural that the brothers in the Sun family became increasingly estranged.
Under such a situation, Sun Quan was worried that one day the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion would be staged in Jiangdong, so he always wanted to centralize power and support new forces to replace the old-school generals. This naturally violated the interests of these Sun generals, and the contradiction was That''s how it came about.
Although strictly speaking, most of the generals of the Sun family are relatives of Sun Quan within the five realms, but in the face of interests, the word "relatives" is like **** underwear. Although it is useful, it cannot cover anything, and it is said to be useless. After all, it can’t be considered as not wearing anything.
"Sentences are like small evils. If the lord raises an army in a big way, but falls behind, and raises troops to mobilize the people, waste the people and money, it will inevitably lead to the emptiness of Wu County..." Lu Su said in a deep voice, "The lady in Wu County must have known this. Things, however, remain calm, so there are many reasons for this..."
Zhou Yu had said this before, but Sun Quan thought that Zhou Yu was deceiving him or scaring him, so he couldn''t listen to it. Now after Lu Su said this and mentioned this issue again, Sun Quan realized what Zhou Yu was saying. That said, maybe this is really possible...
“So…” Sun Quan looked at Lu Su and asked, “Does Zijing have any good ideas? 』
"Since my lord has the ambition of Duke Huan of Qi," Lu Su said with a slight smile, "why not follow his example?" As the New Year approaches, the clans should gather together... If you are willing to come then, there will be no trouble. If you don''t come... My lord will punish his rebellion, and it will be a great thing... If the coercion is too much at the moment, it will make many people wary..."
?Sun Quan thought for a long time and finally nodded...
