Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang
Chapter 500: Xun Ling leaves a lasting impression, a good show comes on stage!
Chapter 500: Xun Ling leaves the fragrance, a good show comes on stage!
Sima Fang was instructing the junior officials to hang the "Capital Moving Order" on the wall beside the city gate, and a large group of people were watching.
Sima Yi and his younger brother Sima Fu also came outside the crowd carrying vegetable baskets and chickens. They were here to buy and wanted to make a hearty meal today to supplement their family.
But when they saw their father, both of them were startled. Sima Fu quickly said: "Second brother, look at dad..."
Sima Yi hissed, "Don't disturb dad's business..."
After that, he looked at the "Capital Moving Order" seriously.
A man dressed as a scribe read to everyone, "... Xudu's good old days are not as good as Luoyang. If you move the capital to Luoyang with your Majesty, you will have your family's land and house measured, and double the amount will be returned to Luoyang for resettlement. If you are nostalgic for your hometown and do not want to move north, , The King of Wei respects people’s popularity, and hereby orders that from top to bottom, no force shall be imposed, and convenience shall be provided——”
When a commoner heard this, he shouted: "Are we going to move the capital? If we move the capital, we will actually give double the acres and houses..."
The person next to him answered, "Have I heard that the buildings in Luoyang are much larger and more impressive than those in Xuchang? They are separated by a mountain, so it doesn't matter if they move there?"
At this time, someone asked, "Why did such a good person suddenly move the capital?"
Someone immediately answered: "It's unclear. Xiangfan was defeated and Wancheng was lost. Now... the Jingzhou army is only more than a hundred miles away from Xudu. They are approaching in the morning and evening. If they don't move the capital, they are in danger of overthrowing at any time. The king has no choice. Act of."
At this time, a gangster scratched his head and said, "You have said so much, but... should we move or not?"
This…
Following the gangster's words, everyone fell silent.
To move north or to stay, that is the question.
If they move north, it means following Cao Cao and the Wei Dynasty;
But if you stay behind...Liu Bei's "only virtuous and virtuous, able to obey others", and Guan Yu's "unparalleled martial arts, loving soldiers as sons" seems to be good too.
The most important thing is that in recent years, since the villain of the Guan family became famous, Cao Wei has rarely won...
At this time, everyone will have a feeling that Cao Cao is about to collapse... If you follow him to move north, will you have a sense of déjà vu?
After reading the "Capital Moving Order", Sima Fu was also shocked, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, he really knows how to move the capital? Second brother... Could it be that your Majesty has been forced to this point by the Guan family father and son?"
Sima Yi kept sighing and nodding while watching. However, he did not directly answer Sima Fu's question, but asked: "In the past few nights, can my third brother raise his head and look at the stars in the night sky?"
what…
Sima Fu was startled. He didn't expect his second brother to ask such a question. He replied: "No...no, but what does this star have to do with the "Capital Relocation Order"?"
Sima Yi looked at the "Capital Moving Order" leisurely and said lightly: "If you don't sleep tonight, just stare at the stars in the sky. You will be able to find the answer to your questions before tomorrow morning..."
The question arises from Sima Fu's sentence: "Has the king been forced to this point by the Guan family and his sons?"
As for the answer, there is nothing more frightening than the "shocking" scene of flying balls all over Xudu City when seeing the night sky.
Sima Yi likes to look at the stars, not because he is good at reading stars, but because he can't sleep at all in this troubled year.
It was precisely because of this that he accidentally discovered that the lives of Xu Ducheng, King Wei, his Sima clan, and the thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xu Ducheng... had long been in the hands of Guan Lin.
As long as he is willing, he can give an order at any time... and then he can become the second Wu'an Hou Baiqi and the second God of Death remembered by history.
——Man is a knife, I am a fish!
Sima Yi actually felt this feeling anyway.
Seeing his second brother's serious expression, Sima Fu pondered for a moment, and he couldn't help but ask: "These people? Will the Xudu clan... follow King Wei to move the capital?"
Huh... this topic made Sima Yi let out a long sigh, and he sighed: "It depends on the people's support and popularity..."
Sima Fu continued, "Your Majesty has been in charge of Xudu City for nearly twenty years. He may have killed people in Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Jizhou, but he has never harmed the people of Xudu... At least the people's support and popularity here..."
Before Sima Fu could finish his words, Sima Yi twisted his lips and revealed a faint, sarcastic smile, "It is not easy to build up the hearts and minds of the people, but to lose them... Maybe just in a moment, I seem to have known... Then what does Guan Lin plan to do?"
"how?"
Facing Sima Fu's doubts, Sima Yi narrowed his eyes and just said, "We'll see..."
Speaking of this, Sima Yi looked gloomy and couldn't help but think in his heart.
——"In fact, Xu Ducheng's public support and popularity... only need to win over one family!"That's right... only such a family can make Cao Cao's reputation... go from being aloof to everyone shouting for beatings overnight!Guan Lin... would do this, right? 』
Here, Sima Yi is still daydreaming.
On the other side, the people's discussions continued...
"In order to recruit soldiers and horses, the king forcibly implemented the order of conscripting widows... This is an act of anger and resentment... If you move the capital with him, there is no guarantee that the conquest of widows will be on your doorstep."
"The order to levy widows is the order to levy widows, but the order to levy widows in the Wei Dynasty? How has it ever conquered the widows of Xudu? In recent years, as long as it is a good thing, it will definitely not be allowed to be in the capital, and as long as it is a bad thing, it will not be involved. Xudu... Your Majesty has been very kind to us, the people of Xudu!"
"Isn't that because Xun Lingjun helped the king conquer this world? In exchange, the king naturally showed goodwill to the people of Xudu..."
It seems that it was because of the mention of Xun Lingjun...
The originally uproarious discussion suddenly stopped.
After a long while, an old man opened his mouth: "Yes, it is not so much that the king treated us Xuchang people well, but that it was Xun Lingjun who fought for us. Xun Lingjun is from Yingchuan, Xuchang. The people here are grateful to Xun Lingjun... What a pity." , I heard that he died of illness due to overwork in the end, and his nephew Xun You also died of illness not long after... Oh, what a pity, what a pity! The fragrance of Xun will last forever—"
At this moment, an untimely voice came out, "Who said he must have died of illness? What if he didn't?"
This…
With the appearance of this voice, the place quickly fell into silence, and Sima Yi instantly became alert.
He couldn't help but whisper in his heart.
——'Sure enough, even though Xun Lingjun has passed through the ages, the people still remember him, and the hearts and popularity of Xu Capital City still belong to the Xun family! 』
call…
Thinking of this, Sima Yi's brows stood up, as if he had foreseen something.
...
...
Xu Ducheng, the residence of the Xun family.
The light in the ancestral hall is dim, and the names of Xun's ancestors are written on the rows of memorial tablets. A lamp is lit under each tablet.
Xun Yu occupied the second to last seat, and Xun You occupied the last seat, but it was obvious... Nowadays, most of the dozens of people in this ancestral hall came to pay homage to Xun Yu and Xun You.
It was the two of them who single-handedly raised the status of the Xun family to countless levels. Even if they have fallen now, the disciples of the Xun family are now from all over the Wei Dynasty, and the lintel of the Xun family... is still highly respected.
At this moment, Xun Yu's eldest son, Xun Yun, on behalf of the tribe, was carrying an oil pot and refueling the oil lamps in front of these spiritual tablets.
At this time, the sixth son Xunyi hurried in. The door suddenly opened, a gust of wind blew, and the light swayed. Xunyun protected his father's light with his hand, but the light... was still extinguished.
Xunyi, the sixth brother, said: "Brother, the king has sent an edict...making you a heir, a tiger and a brave general, and betrothing his daughter, Princess Anyang, to you..."
Well…
Without waiting for his eldest brother Xun Yun to respond, the sixth brother Xun Yi seemed to have noticed that his second brother, seventh brother, and even Xun Chen's son Xun Hong, who was listed as the "Three Dragons of the Xun Family" with his father Xun Yu, and Xun Yan's son Xun Shao were also there. So he quickly said:
"The king's awards to all the elders and younger brothers were also passed down. The second brother was named Yu Shi Zhongcheng, the seventh brother was named the Sanqi Changshi, the elder brother Zhongmao (Xun Hong) was the Huangmen Shilang, and the younger brother Shao was directly appointed. The king of Wei sent more than ten boxes of gold, silver, jewels, silk and satin... and even sent someone to inform him that a mansion, house, farmland, etc. had been purchased for the Xun family in Luoyang City. !”
Following the words of the sixth brother Xun Yi, everyone was shocked. The youngest Xun Can asked doubtfully: "Since the death of his father, except for the land, houses, gold, silver and jewels he received in condolence letters, the King of Wei has not given any other gifts." You have paid so much attention to me, Mr. Xun, why do you suddenly shower everyone with rewards at this time?"
After all, Xun Can is young, knows little, and has little experience. Now... he is still kept in the dark, but the brothers look at each other and have figured out Cao Cao's thoughts.
It was the eldest brother Xun Yun who sighed. He slowly walked past the tokens and lit the candles that had been blown out by the wind one by one. Then he looked at the row of spiritual tablets, especially...the words on each row. …
The word "Han Gu" is particularly eye-catching at this moment.
At this time, he opened his mouth: "The King of Wei wants to move the capital to Luoyang. At this time, in order to win people's hearts... so he generously rewards us. The purpose is to make the Xun family express their intention to move north, and let the people of Xudu follow suit and move north... Haha, by that Jingzhou man The Guan family and his son have really taken great pains and spared no effort to persecute King Wei to this point!"
"Then...our Xun family...should we move or not?" Several clan members asked at the same time.
Xun Yu, who ranked second, said with emotion: "In the past, my father led the Xun family in Yingchuan to join the King of Wei, and also introduced many talents from Yingchuan to the King of Wei. This was the foundation for King Wei to unify the Central Plains..."
"Father Shi Chang told us that he abandoned Yuan Shao and joined the King of Wei that day because in the eternal night, even a glimmer of light forced him to follow this light until death... But more than 20 years have passed. However, the development of the current situation has repeatedly deviated from my father's expectations. The world is in chaos, and people's original intentions... have gradually drifted away... My father often sighs, what has he accomplished in this life? "
Xun Chen's opening words quickly aroused more people's memories. …Our great-grandfather was a famous scholar in the world and was called the Divine King. Our grandfather lived in seclusion to study, became an official to save the country, wrote many books, or generously went to disasters... Later, my grandfather entrusted the fate of the entire Xun family in Yingchuan to his uncle. But... my uncle has been pondering. The king of Wei abandoned the words left by the great ancestor that "no one with the surname Liu is not allowed to be king" and blatantly established the Wei Kingdom and made Yecheng the capital... My uncle began to question, was his decision wrong? He was You’re not helping the wrong person!”
The topic suddenly became heavy...
Xunyi frowned, "Then what should we do? Should we... ignore King Wei's move? Or... should we expose our father's suspicions and make the people of Xu Capital City abandon Cao Wei and choose to stay?"
"Shh-"
Before the sixth Xunyi could finish speaking, the eldest brother Xunyun finally opened his mouth, "Walls have ears, so don't say these words anymore. In today's current situation, relocating the capital is imminent. It's not you or me who can stop or compete. My father left this family to Me, for me... what I have to do is to preserve the Xun family. Since King Wei has given you the reward, you will accept it, and the rest... everything will be left to time!"
Speaking of which, under the leadership of eldest brother Xun Yun, a group of Xun family members once again bowed their heads to the spiritual throne... and then walked out in an orderly manner.
The seventh brother Xun Can was a little puzzled. He pulled his second brother Xun Can to the end. He asked quietly: "Don't the eldest brother know how my father died?"
Xun Mao paused, his face became solemn, and he lowered his voice: "It's precisely because eldest brother knows everything, so at this time... I don't dare to act rashly and bring harm to the whole clan..."
Speaking of this, Xun Ma glanced at the gate outside the courtyard. He finally added in a difficult tone: "Besides, do you think that what we Xun family want to say and what we want to spread can still be spread? Going out?"
uh... this...
When the second brother said this, the seventh brother Xuncan also turned his eyes outside the courtyard, and faintly...he had a feeling:
Outside the door of Xun Mansion, there is murderous intent!
But at this moment, Chen Qun on the other side is visiting Zhong Yao...
As the two patriarchs of the four major families of Yingchuan, "Xun", "Zhong", "Chen" and "Han", without him, what Chen Qun asked about during this meeting was still about moving the capital.
"Mr. Zhong...what do you think about this?"
"It's very simple..."
Facing Chen Qun's question, Zhong Yao said quietly, "Of the four major families in Yingchuan, Han Fu of the Han family left Yingchuan to fight for hegemony in Jizhou. In the end, Yuan Shao took the fruit and died in a foreign country. In fact, the Han family... It has declined, and only three of us are left among the four families in Yingchuan... In addition to the Sima family, which has both prospered and suffered losses with us, as long as our four families are stable, the Yuzhou clan will follow. As for these people, what do they have? Judgment? Just following the trend of the big clan!"
Zhong Yao was worthy of being the person who succeeded Xun Yu as the leader of the Yuzhou clan after his death, and pointed out the core and key of the problem.
only…
Huh... Chen Qun showed a little worry, "The Zhong, Chen, and Sima families... it's all easy to say, but... it's just the Xun family, how did Xun Lingjun die? Those people don't know, but... but you and I should know better. Ah! Will the Xun family…will…cooperate with the king’s move of the capital?”
This…
Faced with this question, Zhong Yao also hesitated for a moment. He just said: "Don't mention this matter again. If you do something wrong, you will get angry. How did Xun Lingjun die...The King of Wei doesn't want us to know, and he doesn't want us to know." We don’t want the major clans to know, so we’ll just wait and see what happens… Everything depends on the Xun clan’s choice——”
...
...
Wang Can, Ruan Yu——
When these two people appeared in front of Zhuge Ke at Xudu City Post House, Zhuge Ke was a little confused.
Because just half a day ago, he received a letter from Guan Lin, saying that... Guan Lin had sent several experts to Xudu to win people's hearts and popularity.
Custody can drastically change the direction of Xu Capital City, and even make Cao Cao a target of public criticism overnight.But...these two?
Speaking of...
Wang Can's words... Zhuge Ke is no stranger, and his book "Heroes of the Han Dynasty" is quite famous;
Ruan Yu...Zhuge Ke also heard a little bit about it. One of the seven sons of Jian'an was an excellent secretary. In the past, most of the military and state letters of the Wei Dynasty were drafted by Ruan Yu and Chen Lin.
The song "Driving out of Beiguo Gate" has spread far and wide...
It seems that when he was young, he studied under Cai Yong and was called a "wonder" by Cai Yong.
But... no matter how talented they are, these two are just scholars, right?
At this critical moment to win the hearts and minds of the people in Xudu City, Mr. Yunqi sent two scholars here?What can you do?You don't plan to rely on lobbying methods to persuade... the people here one by one, right?
Therefore... Zhuge Ke was confused, and his whole face looked very stunned and struggling.
Wang Can and Ruan Yu naturally saw a hint of this from Zhuge Ke's expression...
Wang Can faced Ruan Yu, "Yuan Yu, it seems... this Master Zhuge cannot trust you or me!"
Ruan Yu waved his hand and replied with a smile, "You and I are scholars, and my writing is okay. But when it comes to such a major matter that concerns military morale and popular popularity, it is understandable to be underestimated."
With the conversation between the two...
Even though Zhuge Ke was full of doubts in his heart, his expression changed drastically, "Master Yunqi has always judged people very accurately. Since he sent two people here, they must have the ability to turn things around... However, the junior is a little worried. There are only four days left before the capital is moved. In such a short time, winning the hearts and minds of the people... doesn't seem easy."
Speaking of this, Zhuge Ke's expression became unusually solemn, and he continued to add: "This is Xudu, not Xuzhou, not Pingyuan, not Yanzhou, let alone Xinye City...Cao Cao has never massacred here, and has repeatedly Showing kindness to the people here, let’s talk about it... When Uncle Liu Huang was in Xudu in the past, although there were stories about making wine and discussing heroes, but generally speaking... he was in panic all day long... either planting leeks or green plums, but he never showed kindness to the people here. !”
It was as if Zhuge Ke was dragging out all the difficulties he encountered in winning over people's hearts and popularity.
He wants to put the difficulties on the map...
After all, time is not on their side.
Who would have thought that Zhuge Ke's serious words would be accompanied by his solemn expression.
Ruan Yu and Wang Can looked at each other, and then laughed, "Hahahaha..." With this burst of laughter, Zhuge Ke was completely speechless. What was going on?Why are you still laughing?
At this time, Ruan Yu had already reached out and patted Zhuge Ke on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Master Yuan Xun, come... let's not talk about these things for now, shall we take you to watch a play?"
"play?"
"Yes, we have been rehearsing this in Jiangxia for a long time." Wang Can added with a smile, "Master Yun Qi also told me that the script was written by my hand. All your doubts... will be in this script. Complete answer——"
While talking, Wang Can and Ruan Yu had already pulled Zhuge Ke out of the door.
And a stage has already been set up in front of this post house...
Just waiting for a good show to be staged grandly.
...
...
In Xiangyang City, a huge stage has been unfolded. Guan Lin and Lu Xun are sitting in the front row, behind them are a group of civil and military personnel from Xiangyang City.
After that, a row of soldiers separated these officials from the people, vigilantly guarding... Guan Lin's safety!
The common people heard that there was something going on here, so they rushed out in droves.
Not long after, the place was already packed with people and bustling with people...
Finally, the long-awaited call came out, and a good show came as expected.
An elegant young man walked out slowly. Because of the announcement, the people knew that this elegant young man was playing the role of the famous Liuxiang Xun Ling - "Xun Yu"!
No... to be precise, it was the early one, Xun Yu who had not yet become an official, and whose talent was not appreciated.
Also because of the lifelike performance of this "actor", everyone knew that this was a conversation between Xun Yu and his father Xun Nui about "whether to break off the engagement."
Big background... As explained in the previous part, it was Xun Yu who took Xun Yu to Runan for a review.
But... Xu Shao refused to comment on Xun Yu. The reason was that even if a man who was married to a eunuch had some talent, he could not escape the suspicion of self-destruction. If he wanted to comment, he should first withdraw from the man who married the eunuch. Let’s talk about it later.
True…
Xu Shao is right. During the reign of Emperor Huan, the eunuch Tang Hengquan, known as the "Five Lords", dominated the government and brought disaster to all parties. Tang Heng originally wanted to marry his daughter to Fu Gongming, a famous scholar, but the Fu family refused. , so Tang Heng retreated and settled on this baby marriage with the Xun family. Xun Yu's father, Xun Kui, one of the "Eight Dragons of the Xun Family", hindered Tang Heng's power, so he agreed to the marriage. , and because of this, Xun Yu, who was talented in his early years, was repeatedly ridiculed and ridiculed by the Qingliu party members, and found it difficult to move forward.
It is even more hopeless to seek evaluation or officialdom.
But...actually there was a chance in the middle, and Xun Yu could cancel the marriage.
And once the marriage was canceled, both the scholars, the party members, and the Yue Dan Ping would look high on Xun Yu, and even regard him as a vanguard against the eunuchs and eunuchs, and publicize him as a model.
The climax of the drama... begins here.
"Ugh…"
On the stage, next to a carriage, a middle-aged man played the role of Xun Yu's father, Xun Nu.
At this moment, he sighed faintly, "In the past, Tang Heng's power was overwhelming. At that time... he, Duke Fu of Runan, and the Fu family dared not to marry Tang Heng's daughter. Now that the Tang family is in decline, why doesn't my son dare to refuse this marriage? ? Our Xun family was not as good as the Fu family in the past, is it possible that today...the Tang family is in decline, do our Xun family still lack the courage?"
Following Xun Nu's words, Xun Yu's clean black boots with white soles and embroidery gently stepped into the clean "snow". He bowed to his father and then spoke solemnly.
"Father, please listen to my son about marriage!"
"When Chen Qun's grandfather came from a poor family and came to visit us, we sent off all the servants, leaving only you and your uncles to sit and toast. Is this the goodwill of our Xun family? Xun You, my nephew in the family, When his uncle was drunk and accidentally injured him, he hid the injury from his uncle and didn't want his uncle to feel guilty. Isn't this the goodwill of our Xun family?"
"I have been listening to you and my uncles since I was a child. How can I not be kind to people in this world? The father of the Tang family, Tang Heng, the eunuch with blood on his hands, of course the scholar-officials hate him. He, hates him...Although the child has never met this unmarried wife Tang, she is innocent."
Speaking of this, Xun Yu paused, wiped the snow off his cheek, and continued:
"Her father arranged a baby marriage with the Fu family back then, but the Fu family didn't want it. His father also arranged a baby marriage with us. The world said you were clinging to the powerful. It's a joke. Which one of our Xun family is not a dragon among men? Can't we be as good as the Fu family? ? The ancestors of the Tang family have become Jingzhaoyin and Sikong, so what? My sixth uncle went from being a commoner to Sikong in three months, and my father became the prime minister of Jinan. Can my Xun family not be able to compare with them? "
"At that time, the reason for agreeing to this child marriage was not only because I didn't want to bring disasters to the clan, but also...it was still the 'goodwill' of my father! The girl's family has been unable to get married a few times, how hurt her, if we do it again If you reject this marriage, can she still get married?"
"Now 20 years have passed, and the situation has changed. Tang Heng is dead, the Tang family has declined, and the eunuchs have also declined. All scholars are judging the situation. The people in the clan are gossiping and forcing you to break off the engagement. They even use your son's 'comments' and 'filial piety' Threatened by the title of "Lian"! He also said that the Tang family was a descendant of the eunuchs and was a disgrace to the reputation of our scholars, hum..."
The actor who plays Xun Yu has a playful look on his face...
It's all sarcasm.
He seemed to have fully entered the state, and his tone was even louder: "Speaking of sizing up the situation, Uncle Xun in the clan saw his friends being surrounded by thieves. Why didn't he sizing up the situation? Why did he do it even though he knew he couldn't do it! Save countless lives with righteousness! So! ... No matter who laughs at me for clinging to power, no matter who laughs at me for being stupid, my child has made up his mind and vows to marry the Tang family and never take concubines! Our Xun family will not change our promise, and I, Xun Yu, would rather die than change my promise! I would rather others betray me, but I, Xun Yu, will never betray others——"
The whole drama... also came to an end with this sentence "I would rather let others betray me, but I, Xun Yu, will never betray others"...
What followed... was silence all over the place, as if all the officials and people were immersed in it, completely forgetting that this was just a show.
Everyone... was deeply impressed by Xun Yu's words when he was young, Xun Yu's persistence, Xun Yu's perseverance, and the phrase "If you don't change your promise, you will never let others down."
Lu Xun, who was sitting in the first row watching the show, took a long time to come to his senses. He couldn't help but murmured to Guan Lin, "Yun Qi? Since when did you start preparing for today..."
It was as if Lu Xun had already seen Guan Lin's purpose.
He wanted to create a pure and admirable figure like a saint, and then have him be destroyed in the hands of Cao Cao in the last scene...
Xun Yu...Xun Lingjun...Liuxiang Xun Ling...he...he is from Yingchuan, Xudu!
Even if all the Xiangyang people here were immersed in the show and couldn't help themselves... let alone the Xudu people.
This is a clear plan, but also a heart-breaking plot——
"Bo Yan asked me when I would get up?"
At this time, Guan Lin seemed to have walked out of the play. He pondered for a moment, as if thinking...
After thinking for a while, he finally answered: "Maybe... since I felt that my father was no longer enough as an opponent, right?"
This…
Guan Lin's words were very soft and thin, but to Lu Xun's ears, they were deafening and enlightening!
...
In Xu Ducheng, on the stage in front of the post house, the second drama was being performed.
Before, Xun You asked Xun Yu for advice. "Xuzhou... My lord slaughtered too many people, even if he wanted to avenge his father, but such killing was too much... I heard that tens of millions of people were slaughtered in Pengcheng alone, and the entire Surabaya River was choked. If this kind of killing continues, Then...this Cao Cao will eventually be the second Dong Zhuo!
Faced with Xun You's doubts, Xun Yu only said, "I understand..."
Then there is his inner narration...
——"How to get Cao Cao to stop killing?"Why did Cao Cao kill like this?He originally... didn't seem to be like this!Where is the source of all this? 』
The expression of the "actor" who played Xun Yu was also lifelike. He asked a series of questions and finally raised his eyes suddenly.
His inner voiceover sounded again.
——"I understand...the reason why the lord killed people and massacred the city was because in his view, these people were enemies...not his own people. Only by making him change his view of these people and making him realize...these Only after the people become his subjects can the massacre of the city be stopped! 』
Thinking of this...the curtain was raised...when it was opened again, it was Xun Yu who was meeting Cao Cao.
As soon as Xun Yu opened his mouth, he spoke with awe-inspiring words: "Serving the Lord to obey one's reputation is a great act of obedience; being loyal to the public and obeying heroes is a rough strategy; supporting righteousness to become handsome is a great virtue. Therefore...the next strategy , I propose... to hold the emperor hostage to order the princes!"
The person who plays Cao Cao is a middle-aged burly man, and his performance is also extremely spot-on.
Faced with Xun Yu's proposal, he was greatly surprised and shocked.
And Xun Yu's words continued, "The road to virtue is people-oriented... My lord, have you forgotten that when you were young, you forged a five-color stick and beat the powerful with it? When you were appointed as Dunqiu, you punished the ten crimes and restored the sky to the people. You Have you forgotten? When you were the Yilang, you gave advice to the Yilang, and when you were the Prime Minister of Jinan, you destroyed evil temples, Dong Zhuo was immoral, you bowed and stretched to serve Dong, plotted to kill Dong, and raised troops to attack Dong, have you forgotten?"
"Have you forgotten your heroic words and wise words of "I will go to the west while you all go north"? How can you be like Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, and Gongsun, who are like Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, and Gongsun? You are in control of the emperor, and you use the emperor to order the princes. The people in the world belong to the emperor, and they also belong to you, Duke Cao... How can anyone slaughter his own people?"
This play... vividly and completely embodies the ultimate strategy of Cao Wei's evolution proposed by Xun Yu, which is "holding the emperor to control the princes".
Compared with the idea proposed by Mao Jie of the same camp, "Follow the emperor's orders and refuse to submit."
Undoubtedly... Xun Yu's "holding the emperor to control the princes" is more advanced.
He was not treating the superiors of the enemy, but the superiors of the people. He was indirectly advising Cao Cao to treat the people well and never to massacre the city again!
And these words and this performance also made countless onlookers throughout Xudu City burst into tears of gratitude and wet their clothes with tears.
Similarly, in addition to Ruan Yu and Wang Can, those who witnessed this drama also included Zhuge Ke, Zhuge Jin, Wu Can and others...
Zhuge Jin couldn't help but ask his son: "How many more shows like this are there?"
Zhuge Ke shook his head. After watching the first two games, his head was buzzing.
"I...I don't know, but...but I know..."
"For Cao Cao, the most deadly one must be the last one!"
...
...
(End of this chapter)
Sima Fang was instructing the junior officials to hang the "Capital Moving Order" on the wall beside the city gate, and a large group of people were watching.
Sima Yi and his younger brother Sima Fu also came outside the crowd carrying vegetable baskets and chickens. They were here to buy and wanted to make a hearty meal today to supplement their family.
But when they saw their father, both of them were startled. Sima Fu quickly said: "Second brother, look at dad..."
Sima Yi hissed, "Don't disturb dad's business..."
After that, he looked at the "Capital Moving Order" seriously.
A man dressed as a scribe read to everyone, "... Xudu's good old days are not as good as Luoyang. If you move the capital to Luoyang with your Majesty, you will have your family's land and house measured, and double the amount will be returned to Luoyang for resettlement. If you are nostalgic for your hometown and do not want to move north, , The King of Wei respects people’s popularity, and hereby orders that from top to bottom, no force shall be imposed, and convenience shall be provided——”
When a commoner heard this, he shouted: "Are we going to move the capital? If we move the capital, we will actually give double the acres and houses..."
The person next to him answered, "Have I heard that the buildings in Luoyang are much larger and more impressive than those in Xuchang? They are separated by a mountain, so it doesn't matter if they move there?"
At this time, someone asked, "Why did such a good person suddenly move the capital?"
Someone immediately answered: "It's unclear. Xiangfan was defeated and Wancheng was lost. Now... the Jingzhou army is only more than a hundred miles away from Xudu. They are approaching in the morning and evening. If they don't move the capital, they are in danger of overthrowing at any time. The king has no choice. Act of."
At this time, a gangster scratched his head and said, "You have said so much, but... should we move or not?"
This…
Following the gangster's words, everyone fell silent.
To move north or to stay, that is the question.
If they move north, it means following Cao Cao and the Wei Dynasty;
But if you stay behind...Liu Bei's "only virtuous and virtuous, able to obey others", and Guan Yu's "unparalleled martial arts, loving soldiers as sons" seems to be good too.
The most important thing is that in recent years, since the villain of the Guan family became famous, Cao Wei has rarely won...
At this time, everyone will have a feeling that Cao Cao is about to collapse... If you follow him to move north, will you have a sense of déjà vu?
After reading the "Capital Moving Order", Sima Fu was also shocked, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, he really knows how to move the capital? Second brother... Could it be that your Majesty has been forced to this point by the Guan family father and son?"
Sima Yi kept sighing and nodding while watching. However, he did not directly answer Sima Fu's question, but asked: "In the past few nights, can my third brother raise his head and look at the stars in the night sky?"
what…
Sima Fu was startled. He didn't expect his second brother to ask such a question. He replied: "No...no, but what does this star have to do with the "Capital Relocation Order"?"
Sima Yi looked at the "Capital Moving Order" leisurely and said lightly: "If you don't sleep tonight, just stare at the stars in the sky. You will be able to find the answer to your questions before tomorrow morning..."
The question arises from Sima Fu's sentence: "Has the king been forced to this point by the Guan family and his sons?"
As for the answer, there is nothing more frightening than the "shocking" scene of flying balls all over Xudu City when seeing the night sky.
Sima Yi likes to look at the stars, not because he is good at reading stars, but because he can't sleep at all in this troubled year.
It was precisely because of this that he accidentally discovered that the lives of Xu Ducheng, King Wei, his Sima clan, and the thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xu Ducheng... had long been in the hands of Guan Lin.
As long as he is willing, he can give an order at any time... and then he can become the second Wu'an Hou Baiqi and the second God of Death remembered by history.
——Man is a knife, I am a fish!
Sima Yi actually felt this feeling anyway.
Seeing his second brother's serious expression, Sima Fu pondered for a moment, and he couldn't help but ask: "These people? Will the Xudu clan... follow King Wei to move the capital?"
Huh... this topic made Sima Yi let out a long sigh, and he sighed: "It depends on the people's support and popularity..."
Sima Fu continued, "Your Majesty has been in charge of Xudu City for nearly twenty years. He may have killed people in Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Jizhou, but he has never harmed the people of Xudu... At least the people's support and popularity here..."
Before Sima Fu could finish his words, Sima Yi twisted his lips and revealed a faint, sarcastic smile, "It is not easy to build up the hearts and minds of the people, but to lose them... Maybe just in a moment, I seem to have known... Then what does Guan Lin plan to do?"
"how?"
Facing Sima Fu's doubts, Sima Yi narrowed his eyes and just said, "We'll see..."
Speaking of this, Sima Yi looked gloomy and couldn't help but think in his heart.
——"In fact, Xu Ducheng's public support and popularity... only need to win over one family!"That's right... only such a family can make Cao Cao's reputation... go from being aloof to everyone shouting for beatings overnight!Guan Lin... would do this, right? 』
Here, Sima Yi is still daydreaming.
On the other side, the people's discussions continued...
"In order to recruit soldiers and horses, the king forcibly implemented the order of conscripting widows... This is an act of anger and resentment... If you move the capital with him, there is no guarantee that the conquest of widows will be on your doorstep."
"The order to levy widows is the order to levy widows, but the order to levy widows in the Wei Dynasty? How has it ever conquered the widows of Xudu? In recent years, as long as it is a good thing, it will definitely not be allowed to be in the capital, and as long as it is a bad thing, it will not be involved. Xudu... Your Majesty has been very kind to us, the people of Xudu!"
"Isn't that because Xun Lingjun helped the king conquer this world? In exchange, the king naturally showed goodwill to the people of Xudu..."
It seems that it was because of the mention of Xun Lingjun...
The originally uproarious discussion suddenly stopped.
After a long while, an old man opened his mouth: "Yes, it is not so much that the king treated us Xuchang people well, but that it was Xun Lingjun who fought for us. Xun Lingjun is from Yingchuan, Xuchang. The people here are grateful to Xun Lingjun... What a pity." , I heard that he died of illness due to overwork in the end, and his nephew Xun You also died of illness not long after... Oh, what a pity, what a pity! The fragrance of Xun will last forever—"
At this moment, an untimely voice came out, "Who said he must have died of illness? What if he didn't?"
This…
With the appearance of this voice, the place quickly fell into silence, and Sima Yi instantly became alert.
He couldn't help but whisper in his heart.
——'Sure enough, even though Xun Lingjun has passed through the ages, the people still remember him, and the hearts and popularity of Xu Capital City still belong to the Xun family! 』
call…
Thinking of this, Sima Yi's brows stood up, as if he had foreseen something.
...
...
Xu Ducheng, the residence of the Xun family.
The light in the ancestral hall is dim, and the names of Xun's ancestors are written on the rows of memorial tablets. A lamp is lit under each tablet.
Xun Yu occupied the second to last seat, and Xun You occupied the last seat, but it was obvious... Nowadays, most of the dozens of people in this ancestral hall came to pay homage to Xun Yu and Xun You.
It was the two of them who single-handedly raised the status of the Xun family to countless levels. Even if they have fallen now, the disciples of the Xun family are now from all over the Wei Dynasty, and the lintel of the Xun family... is still highly respected.
At this moment, Xun Yu's eldest son, Xun Yun, on behalf of the tribe, was carrying an oil pot and refueling the oil lamps in front of these spiritual tablets.
At this time, the sixth son Xunyi hurried in. The door suddenly opened, a gust of wind blew, and the light swayed. Xunyun protected his father's light with his hand, but the light... was still extinguished.
Xunyi, the sixth brother, said: "Brother, the king has sent an edict...making you a heir, a tiger and a brave general, and betrothing his daughter, Princess Anyang, to you..."
Well…
Without waiting for his eldest brother Xun Yun to respond, the sixth brother Xun Yi seemed to have noticed that his second brother, seventh brother, and even Xun Chen's son Xun Hong, who was listed as the "Three Dragons of the Xun Family" with his father Xun Yu, and Xun Yan's son Xun Shao were also there. So he quickly said:
"The king's awards to all the elders and younger brothers were also passed down. The second brother was named Yu Shi Zhongcheng, the seventh brother was named the Sanqi Changshi, the elder brother Zhongmao (Xun Hong) was the Huangmen Shilang, and the younger brother Shao was directly appointed. The king of Wei sent more than ten boxes of gold, silver, jewels, silk and satin... and even sent someone to inform him that a mansion, house, farmland, etc. had been purchased for the Xun family in Luoyang City. !”
Following the words of the sixth brother Xun Yi, everyone was shocked. The youngest Xun Can asked doubtfully: "Since the death of his father, except for the land, houses, gold, silver and jewels he received in condolence letters, the King of Wei has not given any other gifts." You have paid so much attention to me, Mr. Xun, why do you suddenly shower everyone with rewards at this time?"
After all, Xun Can is young, knows little, and has little experience. Now... he is still kept in the dark, but the brothers look at each other and have figured out Cao Cao's thoughts.
It was the eldest brother Xun Yun who sighed. He slowly walked past the tokens and lit the candles that had been blown out by the wind one by one. Then he looked at the row of spiritual tablets, especially...the words on each row. …
The word "Han Gu" is particularly eye-catching at this moment.
At this time, he opened his mouth: "The King of Wei wants to move the capital to Luoyang. At this time, in order to win people's hearts... so he generously rewards us. The purpose is to make the Xun family express their intention to move north, and let the people of Xudu follow suit and move north... Haha, by that Jingzhou man The Guan family and his son have really taken great pains and spared no effort to persecute King Wei to this point!"
"Then...our Xun family...should we move or not?" Several clan members asked at the same time.
Xun Yu, who ranked second, said with emotion: "In the past, my father led the Xun family in Yingchuan to join the King of Wei, and also introduced many talents from Yingchuan to the King of Wei. This was the foundation for King Wei to unify the Central Plains..."
"Father Shi Chang told us that he abandoned Yuan Shao and joined the King of Wei that day because in the eternal night, even a glimmer of light forced him to follow this light until death... But more than 20 years have passed. However, the development of the current situation has repeatedly deviated from my father's expectations. The world is in chaos, and people's original intentions... have gradually drifted away... My father often sighs, what has he accomplished in this life? "
Xun Chen's opening words quickly aroused more people's memories. …Our great-grandfather was a famous scholar in the world and was called the Divine King. Our grandfather lived in seclusion to study, became an official to save the country, wrote many books, or generously went to disasters... Later, my grandfather entrusted the fate of the entire Xun family in Yingchuan to his uncle. But... my uncle has been pondering. The king of Wei abandoned the words left by the great ancestor that "no one with the surname Liu is not allowed to be king" and blatantly established the Wei Kingdom and made Yecheng the capital... My uncle began to question, was his decision wrong? He was You’re not helping the wrong person!”
The topic suddenly became heavy...
Xunyi frowned, "Then what should we do? Should we... ignore King Wei's move? Or... should we expose our father's suspicions and make the people of Xu Capital City abandon Cao Wei and choose to stay?"
"Shh-"
Before the sixth Xunyi could finish speaking, the eldest brother Xunyun finally opened his mouth, "Walls have ears, so don't say these words anymore. In today's current situation, relocating the capital is imminent. It's not you or me who can stop or compete. My father left this family to Me, for me... what I have to do is to preserve the Xun family. Since King Wei has given you the reward, you will accept it, and the rest... everything will be left to time!"
Speaking of which, under the leadership of eldest brother Xun Yun, a group of Xun family members once again bowed their heads to the spiritual throne... and then walked out in an orderly manner.
The seventh brother Xun Can was a little puzzled. He pulled his second brother Xun Can to the end. He asked quietly: "Don't the eldest brother know how my father died?"
Xun Mao paused, his face became solemn, and he lowered his voice: "It's precisely because eldest brother knows everything, so at this time... I don't dare to act rashly and bring harm to the whole clan..."
Speaking of this, Xun Ma glanced at the gate outside the courtyard. He finally added in a difficult tone: "Besides, do you think that what we Xun family want to say and what we want to spread can still be spread? Going out?"
uh... this...
When the second brother said this, the seventh brother Xuncan also turned his eyes outside the courtyard, and faintly...he had a feeling:
Outside the door of Xun Mansion, there is murderous intent!
But at this moment, Chen Qun on the other side is visiting Zhong Yao...
As the two patriarchs of the four major families of Yingchuan, "Xun", "Zhong", "Chen" and "Han", without him, what Chen Qun asked about during this meeting was still about moving the capital.
"Mr. Zhong...what do you think about this?"
"It's very simple..."
Facing Chen Qun's question, Zhong Yao said quietly, "Of the four major families in Yingchuan, Han Fu of the Han family left Yingchuan to fight for hegemony in Jizhou. In the end, Yuan Shao took the fruit and died in a foreign country. In fact, the Han family... It has declined, and only three of us are left among the four families in Yingchuan... In addition to the Sima family, which has both prospered and suffered losses with us, as long as our four families are stable, the Yuzhou clan will follow. As for these people, what do they have? Judgment? Just following the trend of the big clan!"
Zhong Yao was worthy of being the person who succeeded Xun Yu as the leader of the Yuzhou clan after his death, and pointed out the core and key of the problem.
only…
Huh... Chen Qun showed a little worry, "The Zhong, Chen, and Sima families... it's all easy to say, but... it's just the Xun family, how did Xun Lingjun die? Those people don't know, but... but you and I should know better. Ah! Will the Xun family…will…cooperate with the king’s move of the capital?”
This…
Faced with this question, Zhong Yao also hesitated for a moment. He just said: "Don't mention this matter again. If you do something wrong, you will get angry. How did Xun Lingjun die...The King of Wei doesn't want us to know, and he doesn't want us to know." We don’t want the major clans to know, so we’ll just wait and see what happens… Everything depends on the Xun clan’s choice——”
...
...
Wang Can, Ruan Yu——
When these two people appeared in front of Zhuge Ke at Xudu City Post House, Zhuge Ke was a little confused.
Because just half a day ago, he received a letter from Guan Lin, saying that... Guan Lin had sent several experts to Xudu to win people's hearts and popularity.
Custody can drastically change the direction of Xu Capital City, and even make Cao Cao a target of public criticism overnight.But...these two?
Speaking of...
Wang Can's words... Zhuge Ke is no stranger, and his book "Heroes of the Han Dynasty" is quite famous;
Ruan Yu...Zhuge Ke also heard a little bit about it. One of the seven sons of Jian'an was an excellent secretary. In the past, most of the military and state letters of the Wei Dynasty were drafted by Ruan Yu and Chen Lin.
The song "Driving out of Beiguo Gate" has spread far and wide...
It seems that when he was young, he studied under Cai Yong and was called a "wonder" by Cai Yong.
But... no matter how talented they are, these two are just scholars, right?
At this critical moment to win the hearts and minds of the people in Xudu City, Mr. Yunqi sent two scholars here?What can you do?You don't plan to rely on lobbying methods to persuade... the people here one by one, right?
Therefore... Zhuge Ke was confused, and his whole face looked very stunned and struggling.
Wang Can and Ruan Yu naturally saw a hint of this from Zhuge Ke's expression...
Wang Can faced Ruan Yu, "Yuan Yu, it seems... this Master Zhuge cannot trust you or me!"
Ruan Yu waved his hand and replied with a smile, "You and I are scholars, and my writing is okay. But when it comes to such a major matter that concerns military morale and popular popularity, it is understandable to be underestimated."
With the conversation between the two...
Even though Zhuge Ke was full of doubts in his heart, his expression changed drastically, "Master Yunqi has always judged people very accurately. Since he sent two people here, they must have the ability to turn things around... However, the junior is a little worried. There are only four days left before the capital is moved. In such a short time, winning the hearts and minds of the people... doesn't seem easy."
Speaking of this, Zhuge Ke's expression became unusually solemn, and he continued to add: "This is Xudu, not Xuzhou, not Pingyuan, not Yanzhou, let alone Xinye City...Cao Cao has never massacred here, and has repeatedly Showing kindness to the people here, let’s talk about it... When Uncle Liu Huang was in Xudu in the past, although there were stories about making wine and discussing heroes, but generally speaking... he was in panic all day long... either planting leeks or green plums, but he never showed kindness to the people here. !”
It was as if Zhuge Ke was dragging out all the difficulties he encountered in winning over people's hearts and popularity.
He wants to put the difficulties on the map...
After all, time is not on their side.
Who would have thought that Zhuge Ke's serious words would be accompanied by his solemn expression.
Ruan Yu and Wang Can looked at each other, and then laughed, "Hahahaha..." With this burst of laughter, Zhuge Ke was completely speechless. What was going on?Why are you still laughing?
At this time, Ruan Yu had already reached out and patted Zhuge Ke on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Master Yuan Xun, come... let's not talk about these things for now, shall we take you to watch a play?"
"play?"
"Yes, we have been rehearsing this in Jiangxia for a long time." Wang Can added with a smile, "Master Yun Qi also told me that the script was written by my hand. All your doubts... will be in this script. Complete answer——"
While talking, Wang Can and Ruan Yu had already pulled Zhuge Ke out of the door.
And a stage has already been set up in front of this post house...
Just waiting for a good show to be staged grandly.
...
...
In Xiangyang City, a huge stage has been unfolded. Guan Lin and Lu Xun are sitting in the front row, behind them are a group of civil and military personnel from Xiangyang City.
After that, a row of soldiers separated these officials from the people, vigilantly guarding... Guan Lin's safety!
The common people heard that there was something going on here, so they rushed out in droves.
Not long after, the place was already packed with people and bustling with people...
Finally, the long-awaited call came out, and a good show came as expected.
An elegant young man walked out slowly. Because of the announcement, the people knew that this elegant young man was playing the role of the famous Liuxiang Xun Ling - "Xun Yu"!
No... to be precise, it was the early one, Xun Yu who had not yet become an official, and whose talent was not appreciated.
Also because of the lifelike performance of this "actor", everyone knew that this was a conversation between Xun Yu and his father Xun Nui about "whether to break off the engagement."
Big background... As explained in the previous part, it was Xun Yu who took Xun Yu to Runan for a review.
But... Xu Shao refused to comment on Xun Yu. The reason was that even if a man who was married to a eunuch had some talent, he could not escape the suspicion of self-destruction. If he wanted to comment, he should first withdraw from the man who married the eunuch. Let’s talk about it later.
True…
Xu Shao is right. During the reign of Emperor Huan, the eunuch Tang Hengquan, known as the "Five Lords", dominated the government and brought disaster to all parties. Tang Heng originally wanted to marry his daughter to Fu Gongming, a famous scholar, but the Fu family refused. , so Tang Heng retreated and settled on this baby marriage with the Xun family. Xun Yu's father, Xun Kui, one of the "Eight Dragons of the Xun Family", hindered Tang Heng's power, so he agreed to the marriage. , and because of this, Xun Yu, who was talented in his early years, was repeatedly ridiculed and ridiculed by the Qingliu party members, and found it difficult to move forward.
It is even more hopeless to seek evaluation or officialdom.
But...actually there was a chance in the middle, and Xun Yu could cancel the marriage.
And once the marriage was canceled, both the scholars, the party members, and the Yue Dan Ping would look high on Xun Yu, and even regard him as a vanguard against the eunuchs and eunuchs, and publicize him as a model.
The climax of the drama... begins here.
"Ugh…"
On the stage, next to a carriage, a middle-aged man played the role of Xun Yu's father, Xun Nu.
At this moment, he sighed faintly, "In the past, Tang Heng's power was overwhelming. At that time... he, Duke Fu of Runan, and the Fu family dared not to marry Tang Heng's daughter. Now that the Tang family is in decline, why doesn't my son dare to refuse this marriage? ? Our Xun family was not as good as the Fu family in the past, is it possible that today...the Tang family is in decline, do our Xun family still lack the courage?"
Following Xun Nu's words, Xun Yu's clean black boots with white soles and embroidery gently stepped into the clean "snow". He bowed to his father and then spoke solemnly.
"Father, please listen to my son about marriage!"
"When Chen Qun's grandfather came from a poor family and came to visit us, we sent off all the servants, leaving only you and your uncles to sit and toast. Is this the goodwill of our Xun family? Xun You, my nephew in the family, When his uncle was drunk and accidentally injured him, he hid the injury from his uncle and didn't want his uncle to feel guilty. Isn't this the goodwill of our Xun family?"
"I have been listening to you and my uncles since I was a child. How can I not be kind to people in this world? The father of the Tang family, Tang Heng, the eunuch with blood on his hands, of course the scholar-officials hate him. He, hates him...Although the child has never met this unmarried wife Tang, she is innocent."
Speaking of this, Xun Yu paused, wiped the snow off his cheek, and continued:
"Her father arranged a baby marriage with the Fu family back then, but the Fu family didn't want it. His father also arranged a baby marriage with us. The world said you were clinging to the powerful. It's a joke. Which one of our Xun family is not a dragon among men? Can't we be as good as the Fu family? ? The ancestors of the Tang family have become Jingzhaoyin and Sikong, so what? My sixth uncle went from being a commoner to Sikong in three months, and my father became the prime minister of Jinan. Can my Xun family not be able to compare with them? "
"At that time, the reason for agreeing to this child marriage was not only because I didn't want to bring disasters to the clan, but also...it was still the 'goodwill' of my father! The girl's family has been unable to get married a few times, how hurt her, if we do it again If you reject this marriage, can she still get married?"
"Now 20 years have passed, and the situation has changed. Tang Heng is dead, the Tang family has declined, and the eunuchs have also declined. All scholars are judging the situation. The people in the clan are gossiping and forcing you to break off the engagement. They even use your son's 'comments' and 'filial piety' Threatened by the title of "Lian"! He also said that the Tang family was a descendant of the eunuchs and was a disgrace to the reputation of our scholars, hum..."
The actor who plays Xun Yu has a playful look on his face...
It's all sarcasm.
He seemed to have fully entered the state, and his tone was even louder: "Speaking of sizing up the situation, Uncle Xun in the clan saw his friends being surrounded by thieves. Why didn't he sizing up the situation? Why did he do it even though he knew he couldn't do it! Save countless lives with righteousness! So! ... No matter who laughs at me for clinging to power, no matter who laughs at me for being stupid, my child has made up his mind and vows to marry the Tang family and never take concubines! Our Xun family will not change our promise, and I, Xun Yu, would rather die than change my promise! I would rather others betray me, but I, Xun Yu, will never betray others——"
The whole drama... also came to an end with this sentence "I would rather let others betray me, but I, Xun Yu, will never betray others"...
What followed... was silence all over the place, as if all the officials and people were immersed in it, completely forgetting that this was just a show.
Everyone... was deeply impressed by Xun Yu's words when he was young, Xun Yu's persistence, Xun Yu's perseverance, and the phrase "If you don't change your promise, you will never let others down."
Lu Xun, who was sitting in the first row watching the show, took a long time to come to his senses. He couldn't help but murmured to Guan Lin, "Yun Qi? Since when did you start preparing for today..."
It was as if Lu Xun had already seen Guan Lin's purpose.
He wanted to create a pure and admirable figure like a saint, and then have him be destroyed in the hands of Cao Cao in the last scene...
Xun Yu...Xun Lingjun...Liuxiang Xun Ling...he...he is from Yingchuan, Xudu!
Even if all the Xiangyang people here were immersed in the show and couldn't help themselves... let alone the Xudu people.
This is a clear plan, but also a heart-breaking plot——
"Bo Yan asked me when I would get up?"
At this time, Guan Lin seemed to have walked out of the play. He pondered for a moment, as if thinking...
After thinking for a while, he finally answered: "Maybe... since I felt that my father was no longer enough as an opponent, right?"
This…
Guan Lin's words were very soft and thin, but to Lu Xun's ears, they were deafening and enlightening!
...
In Xu Ducheng, on the stage in front of the post house, the second drama was being performed.
Before, Xun You asked Xun Yu for advice. "Xuzhou... My lord slaughtered too many people, even if he wanted to avenge his father, but such killing was too much... I heard that tens of millions of people were slaughtered in Pengcheng alone, and the entire Surabaya River was choked. If this kind of killing continues, Then...this Cao Cao will eventually be the second Dong Zhuo!
Faced with Xun You's doubts, Xun Yu only said, "I understand..."
Then there is his inner narration...
——"How to get Cao Cao to stop killing?"Why did Cao Cao kill like this?He originally... didn't seem to be like this!Where is the source of all this? 』
The expression of the "actor" who played Xun Yu was also lifelike. He asked a series of questions and finally raised his eyes suddenly.
His inner voiceover sounded again.
——"I understand...the reason why the lord killed people and massacred the city was because in his view, these people were enemies...not his own people. Only by making him change his view of these people and making him realize...these Only after the people become his subjects can the massacre of the city be stopped! 』
Thinking of this...the curtain was raised...when it was opened again, it was Xun Yu who was meeting Cao Cao.
As soon as Xun Yu opened his mouth, he spoke with awe-inspiring words: "Serving the Lord to obey one's reputation is a great act of obedience; being loyal to the public and obeying heroes is a rough strategy; supporting righteousness to become handsome is a great virtue. Therefore...the next strategy , I propose... to hold the emperor hostage to order the princes!"
The person who plays Cao Cao is a middle-aged burly man, and his performance is also extremely spot-on.
Faced with Xun Yu's proposal, he was greatly surprised and shocked.
And Xun Yu's words continued, "The road to virtue is people-oriented... My lord, have you forgotten that when you were young, you forged a five-color stick and beat the powerful with it? When you were appointed as Dunqiu, you punished the ten crimes and restored the sky to the people. You Have you forgotten? When you were the Yilang, you gave advice to the Yilang, and when you were the Prime Minister of Jinan, you destroyed evil temples, Dong Zhuo was immoral, you bowed and stretched to serve Dong, plotted to kill Dong, and raised troops to attack Dong, have you forgotten?"
"Have you forgotten your heroic words and wise words of "I will go to the west while you all go north"? How can you be like Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, and Gongsun, who are like Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, and Gongsun? You are in control of the emperor, and you use the emperor to order the princes. The people in the world belong to the emperor, and they also belong to you, Duke Cao... How can anyone slaughter his own people?"
This play... vividly and completely embodies the ultimate strategy of Cao Wei's evolution proposed by Xun Yu, which is "holding the emperor to control the princes".
Compared with the idea proposed by Mao Jie of the same camp, "Follow the emperor's orders and refuse to submit."
Undoubtedly... Xun Yu's "holding the emperor to control the princes" is more advanced.
He was not treating the superiors of the enemy, but the superiors of the people. He was indirectly advising Cao Cao to treat the people well and never to massacre the city again!
And these words and this performance also made countless onlookers throughout Xudu City burst into tears of gratitude and wet their clothes with tears.
Similarly, in addition to Ruan Yu and Wang Can, those who witnessed this drama also included Zhuge Ke, Zhuge Jin, Wu Can and others...
Zhuge Jin couldn't help but ask his son: "How many more shows like this are there?"
Zhuge Ke shook his head. After watching the first two games, his head was buzzing.
"I...I don't know, but...but I know..."
"For Cao Cao, the most deadly one must be the last one!"
...
