Chapter 54 The ten deadly sins of the clan!
  In Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao left everything to his men. They listed several major crimes against Liu Bei and severely criticized Liu Bei's despicable behavior.

I believe this news will soon spread throughout the country, and by then everyone will know that Liu Bei is just a hypocritical hypocrite.

When he thought of this, Cao Cao felt very good.

And he thought that every time he drank with Ye Fan, he would have to leave in the middle, so he dedicated a whole day and came to the kitchen in broad daylight.

Because he had confessed before he came, the people in the kitchen turned a blind eye to them and allowed Mark to be lazy.

The two of them came to an open space and laid out wine and meat, showing off the atmosphere of never-ending drunkenness.

"Sir, I want to have a good drink with you this time!"

This was the first time Ye Fan saw Cao Cao in the daytime. In the past, when the lights were dim, he could not see his face clearly, but now, Ye Fan was secretly frightened.

This man was very powerful and had a sense of domineering about him. He didn't look like a big-headed soldier at all.

But then I thought about it, who doesn't have some secrets? Anyway, it's enough that he and I are drinking buddies, so I stopped pursuing the matter.

The two drank from day to night, commenting on the general trend of the world and talking freely about the current situation. They talked about everything they knew and had no taboos. Both parties were very happy.

Cao Cao could also notice that Ye Fan in front of him was really extraordinary, and some of his words made him sound frightened. But after thinking about it for a moment, he found that it was the truth, and he admired Ye Fan even more in his heart.

Until night, Cao Cao suddenly asked a question.

"Sir, I wonder what your ideal is?"

Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, remembering that when he was studying, he and Pang Tong seemed to have discussed this issue.

He smiled and his eyes suddenly became calm.

"Establish a mind for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living people, carry forward the unique teachings of the past saints, and create peace for all generations."

As soon as the four calm words were spoken, Mark himself felt a lot better and felt refreshed.

After hearing this, Cao Cao on the side suddenly opened his eyes in shock. It was like a thunderbolt struck in his mind, which stunned him and froze him there.

He was completely shocked by the courage and ambition contained in these four sentences. His scalp was numb, and he felt that his blood was boiling all over and he could not support it.

"Yes, this may be the purpose of us people!"

Recalling that when he first raised the army, he was dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's power and wanted to serve the court. But as his power continued to grow, his ambition also grew.

Now Ye Fan's ideal suddenly made him sober up a lot, and he even had something different in his heart.

Cao Cao smiled bitterly, clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Gao Yi, these words make me a little ashamed."

"What does it have to do with you? Nowadays, whether you are an official or a citizen, who is not doing it for yourself? You don't need to be ashamed."

Ye Fan is very open-minded. This is his ideal and does not need to be imposed on others. There is nothing wrong with ordinary people pursuing stability and interests.

Cao Cao nodded, shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but said: "Sir, realizing your ideal does not happen overnight, and it is not something that only a few people can accomplish."

"Then take your time." Ye Fan smiled calmly.

After drinking a lot more, the two of them were both a little drunk, but at this time, Ye Fan sighed.

Cao Cao asked: "Sir, what are you sighing about?" "What I sigh about is that today's world, especially the existence of clans, is a major obstacle to my ideals."

"Clan?" Cao Cao frowned, "I wonder what you think of the clan, sir?"

"I don't have any opinion, but I think the clan has ten deadly sins!" Ye Fan said again in surprise.

Cao Cao was shocked and asked quickly.

"The first is the solidification of class. The aristocratic families often have a better study environment, but they do not necessarily have talents. However, the upward path for lower-level scholars is blocked, so only these people are used, resulting in poor families without noble sons, forever. Failure to succeed will bring hidden dangers to the country’s stability.”

"The second is that the gentry annexed the land. A small number of people controlled a large amount of land, food, and wealth. The common people who had nothing could only rely on them. But if something happened, the gentry would not be harmed, but the common people But it will lead to crisis and even rebellion.”

"This was the case with the original Yellow Turban Uprising!"

"Thirdly, the aristocratic clans have privileges. They protect and condone each other. Even if they make mistakes, they are likely to ignore them and put themselves above ordinary people, causing class conflicts to become more obvious."

"Fourth, the nobles and nobles have wealth, status, and common people. They can even become independent from the court. This is the case with warlords. Yuan Shao was a typical example. The court was unable to control it and could only let it develop. Eventually, the world was in chaos. Only the common people are suffering."

"Fifth..."

Ye Fan went on and on, listing all the ten sins of the noble clans. Each one was extremely profound and enlightening.

Cao Cao listened silently, his face gradually darkened, but he was even more shocked in his heart. According to Ye Fan, if the noble family is allowed to develop, it will definitely cause huge consequences in the future.

He was so shocked that he looked at the young boy in front of him, and was lost in thought for a moment.

……

The next day, Cao Cao woke up from a hangover. Regarding what happened last night, he only remembered that Ye Fan had stated his ideals and also listed the ten sins of the noble clan.

He stood up quickly and saw a scroll of bamboo slips on the table in front of him. When he opened it, it was the ten deadly sins of the clan that Ye Fan mentioned last night.

He was afraid of forgetting this when he came back at night, so he quickly wrote it down silently.

Looking at the contents on the bamboo slips, Cao Cao was shocked. One was because of the danger of the clan, and the other was because of Ye Fan's talent. He had already seen through the nature of the world!
  "Ye Fan, Ye Fan, you really gave me another surprise."

He sat down and read the contents on the bamboo slip again.

At this moment, Cao Ren suddenly arrived outside the tent.

"Prime Minister, my subordinates have something to report!"

"Come in." Cao Cao shouted.

After entering the big tent, Cao Ren immediately said: "Prime Minister, through secret investigation, I found that there are many clans in Jingzhou who are ambiguous and secretly communicating with Liu Bei!"

"Prime Minister, this matter must not be tolerated, otherwise I don't know how many people want to be like Wei Yan and surrender to Liu Bei!"

When Cao Cao heard this, a flash of anger suddenly flashed across his face. He looked at the ten deadly sins in his hand and sneered again and again.

"Call everyone to see me. It's time for these clans to be beaten!"
