Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 590 Should or should not?
Does Zhang Wu really have no selfish motives in helping Cao Cao?

He has!

There are three families of Cao, Sun and Liu in the novel. Leaving aside Jiangdong, no matter how Liu Bei is described by Luo Weiguang, it is not difficult to find that the only person Liu Bei can trust wholeheartedly from the beginning to the end is Zhang Guan.

No matter how sinister and cunning he portrays Cao Cao, it is undeniable that Cao Cao will let Guan Yunchang go because of his heartfelt love.

This is precisely what touched Zhang Wu the most.

"Finished? Then I'm leaving."

"Last question, if I really don't want to give up this position, when the world is stable, will you, Zhang Wu, bear the name of regicide for Cao Cao?"

After Liu Xie finished asking, his face flushed with excitement.

Everyone in the world knows that the relationship between Zhang and Cao has long transcended that of an ordinary monarch, minister and father and son, and it is impossible to separate.

But he just wanted to give it a try. It was impossible for Zhang Wu to betray Cao Cao, but at least he wanted to prove that this relationship was not impenetrable.

Hearing this,

Zhang Wu stopped.

If Liu Xie had asked him this question when he first arrived, he would have answered without hesitation: 'Yes'.

But now, he is no longer the stupid young man who did things as he pleased.

He deeply understands what it will mean once he bears the name of regicide.

No matter how prominent his Zhang family may be in the future, his descendants will always be criticized.

In the history books, this is the stain that is difficult to erase despite his brilliance and beauty. Even after thousands of years, there will still be people who will pick him out and say that he has shortcomings in personal ethics.

But even if Zhang Wu hesitated today, the answer he gave was still:

"Yes! Stop struggling pointlessly. You don't have any chance at all."

After that, Zhang Wu stopped staying and disappeared at the end of the city wall with his pair of children on his shoulders.

Is it really that important to bear a little notoriety?

Zhang Wu really wanted to make his image more glorious in the history books, but if he and his father-in-law couldn't even achieve this, then the relationship would be too chilling.

Liu Xie slumped, holding on to the table to support his body, and let out a sigh of relief.

In fact, he was also very conflicted inside.

On the one hand, he had clearly given up all hope. If Zhang Wu answered no, it would mean that he had given up too decisively.

On the other hand, he really wanted to prove that Cao Cao and Zhang Wu, who had taken over the Liu family, were not monolithic.

Now Zhang Wu's answer is 'yes'.

At the very least it means that his choice was not wrong. The only thing wrong was that he was born into an imperial family and inherited a throne that was impossible to hold on to.

Better go home.

Zhang Wu returned to the gate of the mansion and found the stewards of Prince Wei's mansion waiting around outside the mansion.

"Cao Shou, what are you doing here? Why don't you go in?"

When the steward saw Zhang Wu, he was overjoyed: "General, I have been looking for you all morning. The King of Wei has invited me."

"understood."

Even with his eyes closed, Zhang Wu knew what Boss Cao was looking for. He pushed open the door of his house with one hand, and his maid took the two little guys away.

He himself followed Cao Shou into the palace. Pushing open the door of the darkroom, Cao Cao was the only one in the room.

Even Dian Wei and Xu Chu only stayed a hundred steps away.

There were no windows in the room, and no lights were turned on.

Zhang Wu could see the light of excitement in his eyes.

"Zi Qian, you are here." Cao Cao's voice was a little dry. He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then handed a superstitious letter to Zhang Wu: "The emperor has sent a letter, please take a look."

"No need, father-in-law. I have met Liu Xie before coming to the palace, so I naturally know the contents of the letter."

"Tell me, what do you think? Should it or shouldn't it?"

With the Nine-Five Master right in front of him, Cao Cao still retained a trace of reason, at least he knew how to find someone to discuss it with.

"My father-in-law may have asked the wrong person. You should ask Wen Ruo and Zhong De about this kind of matter."

"I want to ask you Guqiang, can't I?"

Zhang Wu himself really couldn't see the pros and cons of what should and shouldn't be done.

In fact, does Boss Cao really need to ask him? With his political level of 99%, he still can't analyze the pros and cons.

Reverse it.

Since he asked, and asked himself, he naturally wanted to confirm his thoughts.

Instead of analyzing the pros and cons for him here.

"answer."

"Oh? Tell me, why."

"My father-in-law is rich all over the world, and he has all the right time, place, and people. If you block the Yangtze River from the map and look southward, the land occupied by the Wei Dynasty will be greater than that of the Han Dynasty. If you don't dare to respond, wouldn't you be a joke to the world? "

"This is a reason. But you have to understand that until now, there are still many people who oppose the 95-year plan. Do you know why."

"Father-in-law, do you want to talk about your grandfather's identity?"

Cao Cao nodded.

Once he ascended the throne, he became the lord of the world.

But the fact that his father's adoptive father was an eunuch could never be avoided.

Even though many people don't dare to say anything in person, they still don't know what unpleasant things to say behind their backs.

Cao Cao can pretend not to hear, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care.

"Father-in-law may be overthinking. Once you reach that position, you will be the most noble person in the world. Others should see your radiant side, and they can only see your radiant side. If anyone really wants to When making a fuss about this matter, you have to think about whether you are strong enough.”

"Taking people's lives just because of words? How can I do what Xia Jie and Shang Zhou did?"

Zhang Wu waved his hand nonchalantly: "There is no need for my father-in-law to come forward for this matter, just leave it to me. It just so happens that after Yanyu Wei is trained, he has nothing to do. Kill the chickens and respect the monkeys. That's good."

"Damn it, what's the difference between what you do and what I do?"

"That's a big difference. If someone talks about you and you kill them yourself, it's just a small tripe. But as far as I'm concerned, if the elders in the family are criticized, if I don't take action, won't I become a cowardly and fearful person?"

"Then...accept?"

"answer!"
