Three Kingdoms: It’s incredible, I can evolve infinitely at the beginning

Dong Yu hesitated for a moment.

He was really shocked by Cai Yan's peerless appearance, especially the unique ladylike temperament brought up by her strong scholarly temperament, which was beyond the reach of any woman Dong Yu had ever encountered before. comparable.

In troubled times, being accompanied by such beauties is the most important thing for survival.

Dong Yu, who had never concealed that he was a layman, smiled slightly at this moment and said to Cai Yan,

"Well, today I am lucky enough to meet a talented woman named Dong Sili. It is really good."

Cai Yan smiled lightly, with two beautiful dimples appearing on his face.

"Young Master is so complimentary. All reputations are external to oneself. Please sit down, Young Master."

Cai Yan's temperament, which is neither humble nor arrogant, but also does not reject people thousands of miles away, adds a lot to her overall image.

After the guests of honor sat down, and they had not even had three rounds of drinks,

Cai Yong felt a little... I couldn’t wait to ask,

"Sir, the city of Chang'an has been captured. How do you plan to govern Chang'an?"

Sure enough, Cai Yong, as a civil servant representative of the pro-Dong faction in the imperial court , is of course most concerned about Dong Yu's policies at this juncture.

This is also an important reason why he hastily hosted a banquet tonight.

1.

On the other hand, Cai Yong also knew that what Dong Yu did before was really not a talent, but the fact now is that Dong Yu did turn the situation around and won the victory in an astonishing manner.

After moving to Chang'an, they at least became an important force in the Sili area.

So where will these scholars who followed Dong Zhuo and Taishi Dong go next? Should they continue to follow Dong Yu? Is Dong Yu worthy of them continuing to follow? This is also a question..

Cai Yong's eyes were a little uneasy, but also full of expectations.

He was expecting Dong Yu to say something that would make them feel reassured.

At least, they would not continue to act recklessly...

But Dong Yu had no choice in either.

He was swallowing a piece.

After roasting the meat, he shook his head and said,

"I have no idea!"

What?

I don't know?

Cai Yong was a little surprised, and

Cai Yan, who was sitting next to his father, also turned pale.

What did Dong Yu mean?

Did he really not know, or didn't want to say it?

Cai Yong had no choice but to tell the story that he represented. The intentions of the civil servants' forces were explained more clearly,

"Young Master,"

"As the saying goes, it is easy to conquer the world but difficult to dominate it."

"If he cannot govern the world, even if he is as powerful as the overlord of Xichu, he will only be defeated by Gaozu's men."

"What's more, our Xiliang army is surrounded by powerful enemies, so we must be cautious!"

Dong Yu nodded slightly, but he still said,

"Dong is just a warrior. He doesn't know how to govern the world."

"Besides, if I can know all this, why do I need all the officials in the court?"

"After all, Cai Zhonglang, I am the most afraid of trouble, and most willing to hire capable people to handle things that I don't know how to do for me!"

Dong Yu could actually use such simple words to tell the truth about knowing people and making good use of them.

This made Cai Yong's evaluation of Dong Yu even higher.

He quickly asked,

"Do you plan to rule the country with my Confucianism?"

Confucian?

Dong Yu shook his head?

Cai Yong's heart skipped a beat and asked again,

"Does that young master want to imitate the violent Qin and govern the world with the cruel officials of the Legalists?"

The expression on his face suddenly became tense.

If Dong Yu's answer at this time is yes, of course he also knows in his heart that

Dong Yu's father, Dong Taishi, highly praised the Qin Dynasty's Legalist theory and wanted to implement the military merit system. Improve the combat effectiveness of the army and stimulate the war potential of Sili and Liangzhou areas.

This is one of the reasons why many great Confucians in the court did not support Dong Zhuo at that time.

Among these important Confucian figures, Cai Yong was also He has become an alternative.

If Dong Yu still wants to inherit his father's tricks, obviously not many Confucianists in the world are willing to support Dong Yu!

"No!"

Dong Yu also shook his head, but this time he didn't wait for Cai Yong to continue asking questions, but took the rare initiative to say,

"Cai Zhonglang, you must be very confused at this moment, why do I choose neither Confucianism nor Legalism, the two mainstream theories in the world?"

"Of course, don’t worry, I won’t believe in those things from the Great Sage Master and the Five Pecks of Rice Sect."

"On the contrary, I will combine the strengths of Confucianism and Legalism to exert unique rule over Chang'an City and even the world I can control in the future!"

Cai Yong's eyes lit up.

He raised his hand and signaled Dong Yu to continue speaking,

"Appreciate further details!"

Dong Yu put down the food in his hands, straightened his sleeves and said,

"As I said just now, I am a warrior. To run the army, of course, the first priority is to learn the Legalist theory. What is important is that a person should be strict in running the army."

"But governing the world cannot be like this."

"Legalism alone cannot solve the contradictions in the world, and if these contradictions are solved by Confucianism, it will be pure ignorance of the people!"

Cai Yong had a look of doubt on his face.

"contradiction? What contradiction?"

"Is it the problem of people not having enough to eat?"

Dong Yu clenched his fist, then stretched out a finger and said,

"This is just one of them, there are many more contradictions besides them, but I boil it down to two words,"

"flow!"

Flow?

The contradiction in this world is flow?

Cai Yong was surprised.

Such strange theories are obviously contrary to the Confucian theory of governance, and they do not sound so practical.

Dong Yu knew that Cai Yong could not To understand himself with a mind that transcends thousands of years, he simply asked using a more direct example,

"In the past, what methods did the imperial court use to select officials?

Cai Yong said without hesitation,"Of course it's for filial piety and integrity!""

"wrong! My father, Mr. Dong, has another way, and that is to inherit the title!"

"Yes, Miss Cai Yan said that."

Dong Yu continued,

"But this method is destined to make most of the recommended talents come from famous families."

"Or maybe they are the children of some famous Confucianists,"

"On the contrary, a large number of truly talented and learned people cannot obtain official positions and use their talents and learning to govern the world."

"This has led to the fact that in today's world, the sons of farmers will always be farmers, and even if the children of the Third Duke cannot become the Third Duke, they will at least have a future of more than two thousand dan!"

Cai Yong and Cai Yan's father and daughter nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Dong Yu's perspective on observing the world is indeed very novel.

Cai Yong added,

"Indeed, some of our great Confucian scholars, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion a few years ago,"

"They have already considered this issue, but they did not consider it as far-reaching as Mr. Dong."

But he also immediately raised his own questions and said,

"Mr. Dong, since you have thought so much, is there any solution to this problem?"

Dong Yu stretched out three fingers and gave his answer calmly,

"Open, subject, exam!"
