Chapter 134 The ants still live in vain
But Sima De knew very well that it was always cold at high places.

Boss Cao is now a very popular minister, and there is no way out.

Just like what he, Sima De, said to Xun Yu just now.

Even if Boss Cao wants to retreat, someone will push him forward.

Some of those people were his own, and some were his enemies.

The emperor is just one of them.

As the saying goes, kindness does not control soldiers, justice does not control wealth.

The Yidai Edict was not even the last resort for Emperor Liu Xie.

Sima De, who has the perspective of a time traveler, understands.

Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty never gave up on his desire to punish Cao Cao!
He never intended to give Cao Cao a chance to be Duke of Zhou or Huo Guang.

If he were Cao Cao, facing such a situation, he would not dare to slack off for a moment!
Because it really gave Liu Xie a chance to take power.

The only result in exchange is death and annihilation!

As for Boss Cao, he was a capable minister who was loyal to the Han Dynasty at first.

Today, there is no way out!
The brave cavalry captain who assassinated Dong alone for the sake of the big man.

Already frustrated in the center of this troubled world.

He became a hero in troubled times who was feared by everyone.

Thinking of this, Sima De couldn't help but sigh:

"It is true that now it is a matter of dividing the states into Duke Jin."

"This is an act of arrogance by our ministers."

"But what happened today was not forced by the emperor himself?"

“The results of today are the causes of the past.”

"The emperor is so heartless and unjust, he can't blame others!"

When Xun Yu heard this, he was silent and had nothing to say.

Sima De still refused to stop talking.

"Speaking of which, I would like you to regard yourself as a Han minister."

"But I don't know if your Majesty has ever thought about it."

"What kind of person have you been in the eyes of the emperor all this time?"

"In the past, when the emperor was in trouble."

"You once said, 'Serve the Lord and uphold righteousness, follow the popularity of the people, and cooperate with the emperor to rectify the princes'"

"Persuade Duke Cao to welcome the emperor."

"From then on, has the emperor regarded your order as a pawn of the Cao family?"

Speaking of this, Sima De also raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Your Majesty and Duke Cao are in the eyes of the Emperor."

"Are they like Li Ru and Dong Zhuo back then?"

"Is this the actual act of holding the emperor hostage to order the princes?"

Hearing such treasonous and murderous remarks!
Xun Yu was so depressed that his face turned livid for a while.

But in the end he sighed helplessly.

Then he spread his hands and his face was ashen.

The beliefs and morals he has upheld over the years.

It has disappeared under Sima De’s repeated questioning.

No matter how unwilling this gentleman of the world is to admit it.

But the facts proved that he was loyal and obsessed with Han.

At this time, it seems so hypocritical and ridiculous in the eyes of others!
For a moment, Xun Yu didn't dare to look directly into Sima De's eyes.

I even wanted to hold my head and leave my seat, not wanting to listen any more.

Because every word of Sima De's words is heart-breaking!

Every word hurt his heart as a Hanchen!
However, Xun Yu thought.

Sima De will continue to use rhetoric.

When he was criticized so badly that he committed suicide on the spot.

Sima De suddenly stretched out his hand.

Sweeping the empty food box lying in front of the two of them to the ground.

Seeing this move, Xun Yu was stunned!

Looking at the food boxes scattered on the floor.

At this moment, Xun Yu, who had always been clever and resourceful, was a little confused.

But Sima De didn't explain anything.

Just dip your hands into the water in the tea cup on the table.

Slowly write a sentence on the desk:

'The monarch establishes a constitution and pleads for the people. '

Then Sima De whispered again:

"The constitution is the law." "The law is the formula of the world and the appearance of everything."

"This method may be able to relieve your worries and doubts."

"It depends on what your Majesty thinks."

"Actually, my original intention is to persuade you to take good care of yourself."

"Wait a minute before you have thoughts of committing suicide."

Hearing this, Xun Yu was really shocked at this moment!
He never thought that for his life.

As Cao Cao's confidant, Sima De dared to take risks to persuade him to turn back.

I think the two of them are not related to each other, let alone old friends.

How could this man do this if he didn't really care about the people?
Thinking of this, Xun Yu was shocked in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel moved on his face.

Then Sima De felt Xun Yu's eyes fixed on him.

He also smiled, patted his butt and stood up as a farewell gesture.

"It's getting late, so I should take my leave."

"Finally, I have something to say to your Majesty."

After saying that, he also paused and continued:

"It's easy to want to die, but the most difficult thing is to live."

"Birds and beasts live in vain, let alone a gentleman?"

"Your presence, of course, cannot prevent the Prime Minister from arrogating the throne."

"But at least we can keep the dignity of the emperor's royal family!"

"But if your Majesty is not here, it will be difficult for someone to be greedy for profit in the future."

"Only to clear the way for the Prime Minister's arrogance, but to kill the Emperor."

"Having said this, I hope it will make you think twice."

After saying these words, Sima De stopped.

He walked towards the door with his back to Xun Yu.

He has said enough to save Xun Yu today.

If this old man really can’t think about it.

It was useless no matter how much he talked.

Xun Wenruo's final result still depends on his own choice.

And while stepping out of the door step by step.

Sima De also always paid attention to the movement behind him.

To his dismay, that was until he walked out the door.

Feeling the evening breeze blowing outside the house, there was still deathly silence inside the house.

Seeing this situation, a trace of self-mockery appeared on Sima De's face.

Sure enough, my words can't persuade someone who wants to die, right?

He may say that the scholar-bureaucrats of this era really have their own integrity.

In Sima De's opinion, Xun Yu was indeed a great talent.

Moreover, this talented Wang Zuo also has transcendent ideas.

Perhaps Xun Yu's idea is the prototype of China's "constitutional monarchy" thought.

Wealth and military power were vested in capable men, while the emperor retained his bloodline and royal family as a symbol.

Just like Yi Yin in the Zhou Dynasty and Guan Zhong in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Unfortunately, the idea is still too advanced for the present.

And even Boss Cao is not someone who can think thousands of years ahead of his time.

And how could someone as smart as Xun Yu fail to see Cao Cao's ambition?
Perhaps Xun Yu just couldn't escape the thinking of a Confucian scholar-bureaucrat.

He simply believes that even if he holds great power, he should not change the government or abolish the establishment.

Little did they know that the strength of the Han Dynasty had long been exhausted, and it was inevitable that a new dynasty should be established.

When the world was in chaos, Xun Yu felt that Cao Cao was the only one.

He can help the Han Dynasty, calm down the troubled times, and return power to the emperor.

At least Boss Cao at that time still wanted to be a Hanchen.

It’s just that as experience increases, age increases.

Many things and many ideas have changed, and I don’t know where my original intention has gone.

Boss Cao, who became a powerful minister, also drifted away from Xun Yu.
But when Sima De thought of what he had done.

I couldn't help but laugh at myself, I was afraid that I was doing something unnecessary today.

He failed to help Cao Zhang win over Xun Yu, and gave Cao Pi another clue.

Sima De didn't believe it.

What happened today will not be known to Cao Pi in the future.

If that kid finds an opportunity to use the topic to his advantage.

Then wouldn’t he have incurred Boss Cao’s suspicion for nothing?
