Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 80 I Want to Choose You, Wen Ruo!
——Establish an empire where the humble classes rule.

Xun Yu's words made Liu Yu immediately think of the "Yellow Chao" in the Tang Dynasty, "Tianjie trampled all the bones of the public and officials", and thought of "Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty and killed all the officials!"

Undoubtedly, they have made a great contribution to changing this era of "rich families monopolizing everything".

But it didn't end well.

Looking closer, at the end of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang was the only one who realized that the era of the aristocratic scholar-official class was bound to fall.

Therefore, he wanted to establish a country where the humble class could rule.

But he lost, to Sima Yi's "gentry dynasty", the reason is that his thinking was too advanced!

Nothing can be accomplished overnight, and the process of the gentry class taking power must go through.

"Wen Ruo..."

Thinking of this, Liu Yu opened her mouth. "Just like the example of the brook you gave, we know that the river will always flow from the height to the ground, but we should also know that the river flows from the upper reaches to the middle before it can flow to the lower reaches, or the creek may flow to the lower reaches. It will dry out for two years, and then come out in the third year!"

"Establishing an empire ruled by the humble class is a beautiful vision, but it is by no means accomplished overnight. It may take hundreds of years. What we can do now is to follow the trend of the times. Since this era will inevitably enter the gentry dynasty, Then we will be the ones who can influence and control the gentry!"

"Only when we are superior to the Yuan family in Runan and the Yang family in Hongnong, we are qualified to change and guide the flow of the stream of the Han Empire!"

This…

Xun Yu's face did not change, but his eyes immediately revealed a look of conviction.

It is true that Xun Yu's vision is farther, but Liu Yu's vision is wider and more realistic.

"So...my brother talked with Qiaozi and Caizi one after another, because he realized that Taoism could not lead the gentry, so he wanted to choose a leader of the gentry from among them?"

Xun Yu's eyes were dark. "Then...do you want to choose Qiaozi? Or choose Caizi?"

Liu Yu raised her head slightly, her eyes passed through the branches that were sprouting new leaves, and then stared at the blue sky for a long, long time before she slowly retracted her gaze and focused on Xun Yu.

——"I want to choose you, Wen Ruo!"

——"Choose me?"

Xun Yu's pupils were wide open, and there was a look of disbelief in his eyes.

"How could it be me? Qiaozi and Cai Zijun were the head of the imperial academy, with disciples all over the court and the public, and they were the leaders of the northern students, and I... I have a bad reputation. Even though I have read some books, I have no connections in the court? Without a great reputation, what would my virtuous brother choose me for?"

No wonder Xun Yu doubted himself...

Because of goodwill and insisting on marrying Tang Heng's daughter, Xun Yu's reputation almost fell to the bottom, even to the point of being spurned by scholars.

To know…

In this era, "filial piety" and "righteousness" can be exchanged for a good reputation.

The former has Wang Xiang "lying on the ice and begging for carp", and the latter has Yuan Shao forming "Friends of Running" to help the party members, but only... only kindness is worthless in this era.

However, Liu Yu's most important thing is...

It is Xun Yu's personality of being loyal and virtuous, kind and beautiful, exploring the future, and flying moths to the flames!

In later generations, many people will question Xun Yu.

When Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou, why didn't he persuade him as the chief adviser?Even if you can't persuade him, why don't you leave Cao Cao?Perhaps, what Xun Yu is loyal to is only the interests of the family!

In Liu Yu's opinion...

This is dead wrong.

First of all, Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou, and Xun Yu couldn't stop it at all.

At that time, plagues, locust plagues and famine, people in Guanzhong in Yanzhou ate each other, and Wang Zhong and Cheng Yu made meat jerky. Cao Cao himself lamented that "there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles". This is already a ruined and inhumane world.

However, Xuzhou is very united, Tao Qian is very stubborn, Cao Cao is red-eyed, and Xun Yu's words are useless!

Secondly, Xun Yu didn't say anything. When he was beating Lu Bu, Xun Yu proposed to "challenge Xuzhou before, and punish him with authority."

It means that a few years ago "someone" beat Xuzhou and slaughtered more than a dozen cities and hundreds of thousands of people!
To put it mildly, what "someone" did in Xuzhou back then was mighty and domineering!
But what happened?So many people were killed, the people of Xuzhou held the hatred of their father and brother, and stood firm to the end. They couldn't beat them in a short time, right?Has your home been raided?
This is the price of "massacre"!

Again, because "someone" had a lesson from Xuzhou, Xun Yu thought hard and decided to solve the problem from the source!

He put forward the strategy of "holding the emperor to order the princes", a strategy that directly changed Cao Cao from the status of a prince like Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan to the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty!
The emperor is yours, so the whole world is your people?
See how you still slaughter?
Compared with Mao Jie, who was in the same camp, "serve the emperor to order but not ministers", there is no doubt that Xun Yu's "accept the emperor to order the princes" is more advanced. It is not a high-level treatment of the enemy, but a high-level treatment of the people.

——Bringing the Lord to follow the fame, Da Shun also;

——By serving the heroes with sincerity, roughly speaking;

——Helping Hongyi to be handsome is also a great virtue.

This is Xun Yu awakening Cao Cao, the way of virtue, people-oriented
This is Xun Yu reminding Cao Cao-never forget your original intention!
When you were young, you cast five-color sticks, and you forgot to beat the powerful with the sticks?
When you were in command of Dunqiu, you destroyed the evil sacrifices and returned the sky to the common people. Have you forgotten?
Did you forget about your remonstrance?

You raised troops against Dong, did you forget?
Have you forgotten your bold words and wisdom of "the princes face the north, and I face the west"?

How can you mess up and slaughter like Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, and Gongsun?

It's hard to imagine... Without Xun Yu, how many times would Cao Cao slaughter Xuzhou?I don't know how many people will die under Cao Cao's butcher knife.

In Liu Yu's opinion...

If there are still people in the gentry of this era who can "rectify", there are only two people, either Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo, or Zhuge Kongming...

It's a pity, Zhuge Kongming will only be born next year, so it's probably hopeless!

Then...

Xun Yu was the only candidate Liu Yu could choose!
Thinking of this, Liu Yu said lightly: "Wen Ruo's conditions are indeed not very good, but, I have no other better choice!"

Xun Yu was taken aback. "What do you mean? Isn't Qiaozi and Caizi both better choices? Cao Mengde was instructed by his virtuous brother to attack the powerful in Dunqiu and help justice. Isn't it a better choice? No matter how bad it is, there is still the son of the Zhen family. , he is more qualified than me to help my younger brother manage his business!"

"Qiaozi and Caizi are not young anymore. It is not easy for them to accompany me to step on this mountain of swords. Ah Man is too reckless. He needs more time to grow. If Brother Zhen...he is still in business Let a man who loves to do business lead the clan, it is not his wish!"

Speaking of this, Liu Yu paused and said with a smile. "Besides, if I can send a person with a bad reputation and poor conditions to the position of leader of the gentry with my own strength, wouldn't this show my ability as a 'unicorn genius'? Isn't it? "

Xun Yu took a deep look at Liu Yu, he couldn't be sure whether this virtuous brother was joking or serious.

"Wen Ruo..." Liu Yu looked back at him calmly, with an expression like a demon leading people into the darkness, "Haven't you ever thought that one day, this big man's gentry will be led by you to lead them into the darkness?" Leading to a more peaceful and correct direction? Will all the scholars believe in you?"
