Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 694: Heaven's deeds are permanent, and heaven's righteousness is manifested!
Still like flying, like dancing pear blossoms.

It's different from the fierceness and ruthlessness of men when they compete, with sharp sharpness.

The fight between Lu Lingqi, Sun Shangxiang, and Ma Yunlu... all took the light and agile route, sweeping across the air, and colorful sword dances. It is not so much a competition as it is a dance!
Of course, the three of them all maintained a certain degree of restraint. After all, they were all going to marry into the Crown Prince's East Palace in the future.

Lu Lingqi suffered a bit from this...

After all, her marksmanship is more tempered on the battlefield, and a series of moves that fight for life cannot be used.

But Sun Shangxiang...

The one-handed sword dance is easy, one inch is short, one inch is dangerous, she always keeps close to one of Lu Lingqi and Ma Yunlu, which makes the opponent's marksmanship lose the advantage in distance, and all the roads explode. Being exposed to her sword technique, Lu Lingqi rushed several times, but she couldn't get out of the scope of this sword technique.

Before Chen Qun came back to his senses, Xun Yu seemed to feel that it was almost done, and quickly opened his mouth and shouted: "The three girls stop!"

However, his words... were extremely gentle, and were quickly suppressed by the sound of weapons clashing.

But Xun Yu was sweating...

Because, Lu Lingqi has already shown signs of failure.

Being entangled by Sun Shangxiang on one side, and trying to block Ma Yunlu's silver spear on the other side, he staggered... Even Xun Yu, who doesn't know martial arts, can see that he may not last long.

Don't play around!

Beads of sweat dripped down on Xun Yu's forehead. The three are all princesses. It's nothing to beat them, but they can't be popular!
at this time…

"Hmph, look how good I am!"

Sun Shangxiang slashed down with his sword... Seeing that Lu Lingqi was about to lose, but at this moment... a Fang Tian painted halberd was swinging sideways, and the majestic wind almost enveloped the entire battlefield...

Like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.

"Whoosh..."

With just one move, Sun Shangxiang and Ma Yunlu were forced to take three steps back...

They supported the ground with long swords and silver spears respectively before they stood firm.

And in front of Lu Lingqi, a red-robed and long-tasseled general appeared in front of them.

"Lu..."

Sun Shangxiang and Ma Yunlu recited his surname almost at the same time.

never thought...

At this moment, Ma Chao behind Ma Yunlu raised his sword eyebrows slightly, stepped forward with big strides, and even took a steel gun from the weapon rack of Shangshutai. "It's a girl's family fighting, and Marquis Wen made a move, so it's a little bullying?"

That's right...

It was Lu Bu Lu Fengxian who made the move just now.

A layman watching the doorway, an insider watching the fun, he has already seen that his daughter can't stop Sun Shangxiang's blow just now, but if he is out like this, wouldn't he be looked down upon by the Xiliang Ma family and the Jiangdong Sun family?
She is also the princess, how can the daughter of his Jiuyuan Lu Fengxian be underestimated by others.

"If you don't accept it, you can do it yourself!"

Lu Bu said coldly...

Ma Chao straightened his spear, "In the old days when the three heroes fought against Lu Bu, the victory was invincible, hehe... Today, I, Ma Chao, alone challenged you for the title of the unparalleled God of War!"

As he spoke, Ma Chao sprinted forward, stabbing with a steel spear!

He has long wanted to learn Lu Bu's kung fu!
Today... what a coincidence!
"Ha ha ha ha…"

at this time…

A burst of sad laughter came from the courtyard.

"Do you think there is no one in my Jiangdong?" Sun Quan was calling, and Lu Xun and Zhou Yu were standing beside him... and there was a heroic general behind him. This time they were invited to this Shangshutai to discuss with Xun Yu the prince wedding matters.

With Lu Yu's identity revealed, Sun Quan also accepted his fate...

It's not that there is no fight, but that time is not waiting for me, and the world should belong to Wei!
You can't fight for the world, but you can't retreat half a step in the battle for the status of the crown princess in the East Palace.

Ma Yunlu is backed by his older brother Ma Chao;

Lu Lingqi is backed by her father, Lu Bu;

Could it be that his little sister Jiangdong Sun has no one to support her?

"Ziyi, you will go to experience the demeanor of Marquis Wen and General Ma on behalf of Jiang Dong's elders..."

Sun Quan's voice fell.

Tai Shici also took a halberd from the weapon rack, "Heaven's deeds are permanent, and heaven's righteousness is manifested. Marquis Wen, General Ma, try me with a halberd!"

"Clang clang clang..."

With Tai Shici joining the battle...

War halberd and painted halberd collide...

The steel gun collided with the war halberd...

Between the painted halberd and the steel gun, the most brilliant flames erupted.

All of a sudden, there were repeated whistling sounds, and the sound of piercing through the sky was endless...

Lu Bu, Ma Chao, and Tai Shici fought in one place.

It is completely different from the light martial arts of Lu Lingqi, Ma Yunlu, and Sun Shangxiang just now. These three... open and close their moves in one move, and their strength is as strong as the scorching sun...

It seems that compared with them, the contest between the three women just now is like pediatrics!
Chen Qun was so frightened that he subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab Xun Yu's arm.

"Xun Lingjun, this..."

"Hush!" On the other hand, Xun Yu just pointed out his index finger and said in a low voice, "We were all princesses just now. If they were injured, who would be able to bear the responsibility? It's different now... These Lu Bu, Ma Chao, and Tai Shici are all concubines in the world. The first-class masters, as long as they decide who is superior, the prince's marriage will be settled!"

Speaking of here…

Xun Yu pointed to the weapon rack in the courtyard.

Chen Qun scratched his head, "Xun Lingjun, when did this weapon rack exist in the courtyard of Shangshutai?"

This just came out of my mouth...

Chen Qun's eyes widened. He stared at Xun Yu with wide eyes. If he admired him just now, then now...

"Xun Lingjun..." Chen Qun said with emotion: "People say that Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe are just an old fox. Looking at it today, Liuxiang Xunling's cunning is no less than that of Jia Wenhe!"

"Hehe..." Xun Yu waved his hand, "At an extraordinary time, there should be extraordinary things, and extraordinary things should be made of extraordinary merit! The most urgent thing is to ensure that the prince can marry these three back safely... that is extraordinary merit !"

This sentence... this "extraordinary merit" has a lot of meaning!
...

...

Qiao Pei, the former residence of the Cao family.

The light in the ancestral hall is dim, and the name of Cao Cao's grandfather "Cao Teng" is written in the middle of the rows of spiritual tablets. A lamp is lit under each tablet, but under the tablet of "Cao Teng", the light is particularly bright for some reason. crystal bright.

Both Cao Cao and Lu Yu were dressed in casual clothes, kneeling in front of Cao Teng's spiritual seat.

Lu Yu was holding an "oil pot" to add oil to the lamp...

A gust of wind blew outside the door, and the lights flickered. Cao Cao used his hands to protect the candlelight in front of the "Cao Teng" coffin.

After refueling, both Cao Cao and Lu Yu kowtowed three times in front of Cao Teng's tablet.

After doing this, Cao Cao turned his head and faced Lu Yu.

"When my grandfather was alive, he always mentioned that heaven, earth, and all things are one with the emperor, ministers, and people. The emperor should control the people, rule the world, and manage hundreds of officials. As a minister, he should be loyal to benevolence and righteousness, and be loyal to the emperor and the country. The way of being a courtier. As a commoner, one should respect parents, be harmonious with children and grandchildren, and be close to relatives."

"The emperor knows what to do, the ministers keep their duties, and the people grow like grass and trees, and the empire can prosper. Therefore, the monarch, ministers, and people can't be out of order. If there is no order, there will be chaos. If there is chaos, the world will go out of order. , the stars are reversed, and the universe is destroyed. It leads to the destruction of the virtue of heaven and earth, and the harm of the people of the world."

Lu Yu was quite moved by Cao Cao's words...

It was hard for him to imagine that such a great truth came from a great eunuch, ah bah, it came from the mouth of Lu Yu's grandfather Cao Teng.

certainly…

In the study of history in later generations, the emphasis is on "visiting the three generations at home". When studying Cao Cao, his grandfather Cao Teng should naturally be placed in the most prominent position.

Lu Yu knew this grandfather Cao Teng quite well.

He is rare...a great eunuch who can be praised by both the official group and the court ministers. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is "a eunuch through the ages".

Entering the palace as an eunuch at the age of eight coincided with the reign of the famous "Queen Dowager" Deng in history.

The Empress Dowager Deng not only wanted to study classics in civil and military affairs, but even the eunuchs and court ladies also required culture and knowledge, and they also had to take regular exams in the palace.

At that time, it was praised in the public - "everyone learns the classics" in the palace, and "everyone distinguishes between rise and fall" in the imperial court!
In that era, a large number of outstanding eunuchs emerged, and even had a profound influence on future eunuchs. For example... Cao Teng’s mentor, the eunuch Cai Lun, invented papermaking, and the favored eunuch Tang Heng, who was Xun Yu’s father-in-law, was good at To adjust spices, Zhao Zhong, one of the ten permanent attendants, is still a carpenter, or a celebrity in architecture!
Cao Teng was naturally a leader in that era, because of his excellence, he became the companion of Prince Liu Bao. Later, the political situation was unstable, and his relatives intervened in politics... He followed Liu Bao to live in seclusion in Jinwu Lane in Luoyang City, and even cooperated with eunuchs in the palace to help Liu Bao Guaranteed to regain the emperor's throne... climbed to the top of the city alone, and retreated thousands of rebels from his relative Yan Xian alone, and dealt with the battle between his relative Liang Heng and Emperor Huan!
"Yu'er, the one I admire the most for my father is my grandfather!" Cao Cao said with emotion: "I have been with my grandfather since I was a child, and my grandfather always told stories about him and Emperor Shun. We call him 'Xiao Tengzi' just because my grandfather shared weal and woe with Emperor Shun, and once he was the emperor and the courtiers, he ended up in a bleak end when Emperor Huan came!"

Looking at the Three Kingdoms, it seems that Cao Teng has little relationship with Cao Cao...

But in fact, Cao Teng's contribution to the Cao family, and even his influence...beyond ordinary people's imagination.

When Cao Teng was in office, eunuchs and scholar-bureaucrats lived in peace, and the two sides were in a rare state of balance, which was also the last prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

After Cao Teng's death, eunuchs and scholar-bureaucrats began to fight "unendingly", as evidenced by the two "disasters of party imprisonment".

When Cao Teng was buried, Emperor Huan Liu Zhi rushed to Qiaopei, and Cao Song passed on his father's last words to Liu Zhi. There were only five words-reuse scholar-bureaucrats!

And recommended the later Situ "Zhong Hao" and others... Cao Song's filial piety period expired and he wanted to return to Luoyang. It was also with the help of "Zhong Hao" that he became the "Sili Captain"...

Later, he cooperated with Cao Jie, the Zhongchang attendant in the womb of Cao Teng's younger brother, and it was only then that he rose to the top. One of the Taiwei's experience cards!

This is for Cao Song, but for Cao Cao...

As we all know, Cao Cao was a monster boy when he was a child. Except for reading, he liked everything and was keen on everything... Naturally, he caused a lot of trouble.

But because of the face of "Cao Teng", both scholar-officials and eunuchs would turn a blind eye to him, otherwise, in this era, children with this personality generally wouldn't live long!

These, from ancient books and documents, or from Cao Cao's mouth, Lu Yu's heart is like a mirror.

"Yu'er, have you seen the eight characters on this tablet?"

Cao Cao turned his gaze to Cao Teng's tablet.

"He who loves the virtuous, the virtuous loves himself", Lu Yu said.

Cao Cao nodded, "This is what Qiaoxuan's 'Chief Qiao' mentioned in the past... From this we can see how your grandfather was respected by the world when he was alive!"

From Cao Cao's words, Lu Yu seemed to understand something. "Father mentioned so many things about grandpa, is it because of... the persuasion of Qiao Pei's meritorious deeds today?"

The conversation turned...

Cao Cao glanced at Cao Teng's spiritual tablet from the corner of his eye, bowed his hands, and led Lu Yu to the side room.

On one table, father and son sit opposite each other.

Cao Cao spoke first. "Today, what do you think of the 'Wei Dai Han' mentioned by your uncles?"

"The time has not come yet!" Lu Yu exclaimed directly.

"Tell me..." Cao Cao gestured with his hand.

Lu Yu's expression became serious, "Didn't my father teach me just now, the words on the tablet of my grandfather that 'love the virtuous, the virtuous self-love'?"

"It is true that the unification of the great Wei now only leaves Ba and Shu. Whether it is the northern border, the Central Plains, Xiliang, or Jiangdong... it can be said that all people return to their hearts... But one thing, now... Even if Wei replaces Han, what's the point? What? The official selection system is still the probationary system, the father king is nothing more than the replacement of Emperor Guangwu, Qiao Pei's meritorious service and Yingchuan scholars replaced the "Yuntai 28 Generals", a new nobleman will be born, and within a few decades... These nobles will become powerful landlords again!"

"The Yang family of Hongnong, the Yuan family of Runan, and the Sima family of Hanoi have just become the Xiahou family of Qiaopei and the Xun family of Yingchuan...The father and king can be like the grandfather and grandfather who love the virtuous, and the virtuous and self-loving." '? Or is it that the father loves only these meritorious deeds... the poor children, those Limin people who have buried their heads in the ground, can they see hope? Will they support and love Wei from the bottom of their hearts?"

Lu Yu's words are bold enough...

It also pointedly pointed out the shortcomings and crux of the big man.

Lu Yu knew too well that the downfall of the Han Dynasty was caused by the monopoly of all resources by the clan, the struggle between eunuchs and relatives, and the loss of imperial power...

It can be more detailed, that is, several parts.

——The people at the bottom!
——Middle-level officials!
——The complete collapse of the top sacred value...!

It's not that Wei can't replace Han, but if Wei wants to replace Han, he must solve these three pain points in terms of policy, otherwise...it's nothing more than another reincarnation of a big Han!

In the future, there will be a new regime, just like Wei replacing Han, will replace Wei unscrupulously!

call…

Cao Cao let out a long breath.

His gaze was condensed... as if he was thinking about Lu Yu's words carefully.

These words are deafening!

"Chen Situ actually presented a 'Nine-rank Zhongzheng System' official selection system." Cao Cao said loudly: "Change the current procuratorial system into an electoral system, use the method of selecting officials to formulate the nine-rank system, and the Shangshutai Send officials to the place to inspect talents, and the selected scholars will be tested by the Shangshutai... In this way, the disadvantages of the probation system will be solved to a certain extent, and the powerful clans will be prevented from monopolizing the officialdom!"

Cao Cao originally thought that this "nine-rank Zhongzheng system" would be supported by Yu'er.

I never thought that Lu Yu's words were like pouring a basin of cold water.

"Father, if the 'Nine Ranks Zhongzheng System' is implemented, then... Great Wei is in danger!"

Lu Yu's words are meticulous...

He has never been as serious as he is now!
