Who is not Cao Cao?

Chapter 153 What is a Sage?

Sage, what is a sage?

Among the people present, except for Cao Cao, it is estimated that no one can answer it.

Even Cao Cao could only give a vague answer, not accurate enough.

Cao Pi beside him looked up at He Yan with a confused face, as if he was asking: "Aren't we still discussing female concubines just now? Why did you suddenly come up with a sage?"

He Yan, who felt Cao Pi's gaze, nodded slightly, and responded to him with his gaze: "Sages, you can also go to your daughter-in-law!"

Not only can you go, but you can go many times!
……

After He Yan finished answering, Cao Pi's mind was still in a daze, and he even forgot when the family banquet ended and how he returned to his residence.

The word "sage" seems to have infinite magic power to make him addicted to it, making him unable to extricate himself.

But facing the two words, Cao Pi was like an eunuch touching the Lichun Courtyard—without intention.

He could clearly see and touch it, but there was still no way to get in. It really made his heart itch.

"Saints?"

After thinking hard all night, Cao Pi couldn't find an answer, so he had to wait until Jia Xu came to teach the next day to ask him for advice.

"Saints?"

Jia Xu was also in a daze after hearing these two words.

"Dare to ask Mr. Pi, what else does Marquis Shen say?"

"He also said..."

Cao Pi looked at Jia Xu with a little fear: "He also told the teacher not to mislead your children, and if you can't teach people, don't teach them, and let me go to work with him in the newly repaired Xiangxu."

"Huh? Marquis Shen actually invited Mr. Pi to work together?"

To Cao Pi's surprise, Jia Xu was not angry. Instead, after thinking for a while, he began to pack the scrolls in front of him and planned to leave.

"Where is the teacher going?"

Jia Xu got up from the ground and asked Cao Pi to resign: "Marquis Shen is right. With him around, I will really mislead you if I continue to teach Mr. Pi."

"Since Marquis Shen is willing to teach Young Master Pi, then Young Master Pi should stay with Marquis Shen for a while."

Cao Pi:? ? ?
"No, teacher!"

Cao Pi thought Jia Xu was speaking out of anger: "Teacher, don't be as knowledgeable as He Yan, he is very arrogant. At worst, I will beat him up in two days to vent my anger on the teacher!"

"No."

Jia Xu shook his head and denied Cao Pi's approach: "I was busy with government affairs before, but I really didn't study this new study in detail. Now it seems that I carelessly despised it."

"Young Master Pi, please remember my words from now on."

"Teacher, please speak."

After a pause, Jia Xu told Cao Pi: "It's been too long since the three generations, and no one knows what happened at that time."

"However, since the Qin Dynasty, all major and important events have been recorded in the annals of history to warn future generations, so that future generations can learn from them."

"Later generations also often learn from history, seek answers from their ancestors, solve difficulties, and live up to their wishes."

"But... Gou Rixin, Rixin."

"It is impossible for future generations to find answers from history books forever. Otherwise, how could sages like Laozi and Confucius create theories and educate the world? How could emperors like Han Gaozu and Emperor Guangwu manage the chaotic world and restore order?"

"Especially since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world is no longer that world."

When Jia Xu mentioned the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there was a hint of fear and excitement in his words.

"The Yellow Turban Rebellion is unprecedented. It is the largest and most special rebellion in history."

"The turmoil is nominally over, but it's far from over."

By this time, Jia Xu was not only preaching to Cao Pi, but also talking to himself——

"All those who survived are learning the lessons of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, just like Emperor Guangwu learned the lessons of the Wang Mang Rebellion, hoping to establish a new set of order rules after learning the lessons."

"There were He Jin and Dong Zhuo in the front, and Sikong, Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei in the back. They are all exploring and practicing step by step in their own way."

"During their practice, countless like-minded people gathered around them, such as Xun Yu and Chen Qun beside Sikong, Guo Tu and Jushou beside Yuan Shao, Guan Yu beside Liu Bei..."

Jia Xu came back to his senses slowly, and said to Cao Pi, "That's what Marquis Shen meant by 'what is Mr. Pi going to do'?"

"As long as Mr. Pi can really find a way forward in this troubled world, countless people will naturally be attracted by Mr. Pi and gather around him to become Mr. Pi's help."

"On the contrary, you will be reduced to someone who covets Sikong's relics... and such a person, Sikong will definitely not like it, and Marquis Shen will not come to help Young Master Pi."

Cao Pi's mouth was dry, and he asked after a while, "But teacher, what is the lesson of the Yellow Turban Rebellion?"

Jia Xu shook his head: "Everyone gets a different lesson from it, and Mr. Pi needs to find it himself."

"It's as if Sikong learned the lesson of "tyrant", Yuan Shao learned the lesson of "king", Liu Bei learned the lesson of "benevolence and righteousness", and even the young Marquis Shen also learned the lesson of "sage". lesson……"

"What you get in the end depends on Mr. Pi himself. I can't do anything about this."

Cao Pi closed his eyes, trying to digest Jia Xu's words in his mind.

Suddenly, Cao Pi opened his eyes and asked Jia Xu, "What did the teacher gain from the Yellow Turban Rebellion?"

Jia Xu opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.

"Young Master Pi, what I have obtained is too far from theirs. If I tell you, it will be like what Marquis Shen said, "misleading my disciples."

After saying this, Jia Xu also knew that it was time for him to leave.

"If Mr. Pi can't appreciate Sikong's "tyrant", it's not bad to follow Shenhou to experience his "sage"."

"In any case, their goals are always the same. This is why Sikong cherishes Yuan Shao and Liu Bei, and at the same time takes good care of Marquis Shen."

Jia Xu stood up and bowed to Cao Pi: "Although I have only taught Mr. Pi for a few months, I can also feel that Mr. Pi is extremely intelligent and truly a benevolent leader. I also hope that Mr. Pi will not forget his original intention and inherit Sikong and Shen. Hou Zhizhi, truly complete the law of governance and prosperity for all generations."

"Thank you teacher for your suggestion."

Cao Pi returned the gift to Jia Xu sincerely.

But when Cao Pi returned the gift, he realized one sentence——

What is "inheriting the ambitions of Sikong and Shenhou"?
When did He Yan rank alongside Cao Cao?

According to what Jia Xu said, isn't he just a generation shorter than He Yan?
Or is it that even his teacher Jia Xu doesn't think that his achievements can surpass Cao Cao and He Yan?
Cao Pi: ...

At this moment, Cao Pi felt unprecedented loneliness and malice in this world.
