Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang

As expected of Mr. Yunqi!

It was not enough to contradict Guan Gong and make Guan Gong write a letter of guilt. He even dared to threaten Uncle Liu Huang with "blindness".

It’s true that hearing it a hundred times is worth seeing it once, and it’s well-deserved!

Fu Shiren's eyes widened.

However, for him, he shouted something in his heart.

——'Yun Qi, what you said is beautiful! Isn't Liu Xuande just blind? Otherwise, how could he let his old brother who has been with him for thirty years feel heartbroken! 』

——"Yun Qi, you are so right, so beautiful!" 』

From the expression on Fu Shiren's face.

Guan Lin could detect something.

certainly…

For Guan Lin, he understood Fu Shiren too well.

This is like a person in later generations who followed the company's growth step by step and went through a lot of hardships. People around him passed away one after another. The company was almost destroyed several times, but you were the only one who persisted. .

Suddenly at the end...two more groups of people became shareholders, and the company gradually grew...

Everyone is happy except you!

Because you are suddenly no longer reused, you have been kicked out of the core decision-making circle.

The title of "clan" that was once given to you in the eternal oath has now become a piece of waste paper.

Your mentality is broken!

And for Fu Shiren, that's the case.

It is a commonplace topic. In Guan Lin's world of experience, the reason why his father Guan Yu defeated Maicheng was largely due to the complete collapse of the emperor's "checks and balances".

Not to mention the Yizhou faction, the capitulation faction, the single-unit old faction, the Jingzhou faction and the Dongzhou faction, Liu Bei was completely unable to play.

And historical experience tells us.

A veteran figure within a group may not be able to help the group, but if he causes trouble and causes the group to collapse, he can find a thousand or ten thousand ways.

Uncle Liu Bei and father Guan Yu suffered a big loss due to this "relationship"!

It is no exaggeration to say that if Liu Bei had 30% of Sun Quan's ability to check and balance, and 30% of Sun Quan's ruthlessness, this problem would not exist. But there is no way, who makes him Liu Bei?

So, according to Guan Lin's thinking, the way to solve this problem is not to completely depose or abandon these "veteran" figures, but to give them new vitality and vitality.

Let them stand up on their own, let the old tree sprout new shoots, make Liu Bei look sideways, and let Liu Bei look sideways again... entrust them with important tasks.

With this in mind, Guan Lin continued to emphasize his tone: "General Fu, let me say something from the bottom of my heart. My uncle and father may be blind and cannot see your talent, but you can't give up on yourself! My uncle asked you to guard the public security. County, there is no chance to make meritorious deeds, so we will do nothing? If there are conditions, if there are no conditions to create conditions, we still have to go... If we can't go into battle to kill the enemy, then we will use another method to attack the city and capture the ground. !”

Guan Lin's words became more meticulous and more sincere, "My uncle can't see the injustice you have suffered, and my father can't see it, but I know it best, but there is no point in feeling sorry for yourself. We have to stand up. , we have to use our own way to show them, who is the pillar?"

"Wait until the future, when one day, our trade war and commercial war will be completely victorious, and we will make Cao Wei lose his armor without any blood, and be in a state of embarrassment, then we will reward according to merit. Think about the scene at that time, When you walked up to my uncle and my father, you walked with your head held high, and when you faced those people from Jingzhou and Dongzhou, you looked at them and told them, 'I'm not targeting anyone. Everyone is rubbish, but with such pride and courage, this is what heroes of our generation should do! It should be proven!"

For a time, Guan Lin drew a grand blueprint for Fu Shiren.

It can also be said to be a big pie.

But unfortunately, every sentence and every word in this piece of cake spoke to Fu Shiren's heart.

Having lived to this age and followed Liu Bei for so many years, there is nothing to say about loyalty and faith.

Fu Shiren just wanted to win this breath, just to make Liu Bei realize how blind he had been all these years?

Let Liu Bei realize that it is not Zhao Yun, not Huang Zhong, not Ma Chao, he, Fu Shiren, is Liu Bei's fourth brother!

finally…

"Bang"... a sound.

After a brief silence, Fu Shiren stood up, as if he had been inspired by something in his heart. "If Yun Qi is that Qi Xiaobai, then I will learn from Guan Zhong. I will fight commercial wars and trade wars. I will earn Cao Cao's money. I will use Cao Cao's money to buy Cao Cao's grain and Cao Cao's iron." , then seize his land from Cao Cao, and I will use money to kill him Cao Wei!"

Following Fu Shiren’s statement.

Guan Lin narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself:

——'It's done! 』

"Then..." Guan Lin was about to speak.

Fu Shiren had already said first: "Don't worry Yun Qi, I know a lot of merchants in the north. As long as I have money, I have a hundred ways to get grain and grass from the north, including horses. As for this business Don't worry, Mr. Yunqi, you can make huge profits, make great achievements, and make me, Fu Shiren, proud and proud. Where can I find such a good business in this world? I'll do it, I'll do it!"

While talking, Fu Shiren mentioned the wine bottle, "Zifang, Yunqi, come... I, Fu Shiren, respect this bottle for you. From now on, the three of us are brothers on the same boat!"

Uh... Fu Shiren was in a state of emotion and didn't care about so much when he spoke.

Guan Lin was slightly startled.

He murmured in his heart - "How come you have another brother?" If you were my brother, the hierarchy would be in chaos! 』

Mi Fang, on the other hand, didn't mind at all after listening to Fu Shiren's words, and even added fuel to the flames.

"Hahaha, yes...they are just brothers!"

"Come on, finish this bottle. After this bottle, there will be three more!"

Happy…

Today, both Guan Lin, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren are very happy!

Especially Fu Shiren, because of this "big pie", he changed his past complaints, depression, and self-destruction, and suddenly seemed to have found hope for progress.

For a moment, his blood surged again, as if it was flowing with the same "not abandoning" and "not giving up" embedded in his bone marrow as he had been resolute and persevering for the past thirty years.

——His blood is burning, and his mood becomes hot and boiling!

…

…

In Fancheng, Cao Pi's passionate voice came from the study, waking up several birds that had already fallen asleep.

"... No matter how ferocious the thieves are, the worries of Xiangfan, the troubles of Huainan, and the threats of Nanyang are just diseases of mustard moss. The real threat to Cao Wei is from within, and it is the clans and Sun Liu thieves in the Central Plains and the North. Collude with each other. If they collude, there will be internal and external troubles, which will shake the foundation of Cao Wei, and this will be a serious problem for my father!"

"It is for this reason that the child submitted this "Nine-grade Officials Law" to replace the inspection system! My father has taught many times that the foundation of a country lies in the employment of people. Why is the election of the Han Dynasty so chaotic? Why must the selection of people wait for the people to do so? Style evaluation or celebrity recommendation? Why can't my father formulate a set of laws and regulations to strictly select and evaluate talents? Let the talented people enter, let the untalented people leave, and grade the talents into nine grades!"

Hearing this, Cao Zhi's heart palpitated repeatedly.

——"It turns out that this is the purpose of the second brother asking to see his father late at night!" 』

Cao Pi kept talking excitedly, but Cao Cao suddenly exclaimed "Wait a minute."

Cao Pi was startled and looked at Cao Cao's complicated expression.

It was also the first time for Cao Cao to hear the "Nine-Rank Officials' Law". He seemed to have thought of something, the constraints on the road, the darkness that had been lingering in front of him, as if a ray of light had burst out, allowing him to see the king. ...and even the hope of becoming queen!

He stopped Cao Pi, looked quickly at the bamboo slips, then at Cao Pi, and then stared at the bamboo slips again.

He read the words on the bamboo slip softly.

"——The various states and counties will elect a Grand Zhongzheng. The elected Grand Zhongzheng must be an official serving in the imperial court and has a high reputation. The Dazhongzheng will then select a small Zhongzheng. After the big Zhongzheng and the small Zhongzheng are produced, they will divide the talents. There are nine grades: upper upper, upper middle, upper lower, middle upper, middle middle, middle lower, lower upper, lower middle, lower lower.”

"In this way, all well-known people from all over the country, whether they are in official positions or not, are registered in the list. Each year and loan item is recorded in detail in the table, and their rankings are added, and comments are added... In this way, there are standards for selecting officials! This "Nine-grade Officials Law" At first glance, it seems that the shortcomings of current affairs have indeed been solved, but there is only one solution. Where do these rectifications come from?"

"If these Zhongzheng come from those aristocratic families, then in a few years, the "Nine-Rank Officials Law" will definitely result in 'no humble family in the upper class, and no noble family in the lower class', and the energy of those aristocratic families will become more and more powerful... What a "Nine-Rank Officials Law" "Officials Law", are you going to use your power to select officials in exchange for the sincere unity of our great Wei Dynasty? Have you never thought about where your roots are? Your uncle Qiao Pei? What will they think of this "Nine Years" "The Law of Officials and Persons"?"

Faced with Cao Cao's questioning.

Cao Pi pondered for a moment, and his words rang out again.

"Father, the biggest dilemma right now is not the clan. When my father calls him Duke of Wei, Xun Lingjun objects, Cui Shangshu objects, Xun Lingjun is dead, Cui Shangshu is also dead... How many people have died in these years? But the voice of opposition to my father is especially rare. Jue, this is what it means to be called a duke, but what about being called a king? Then...that...the final title..."

Cao Pi's voice stopped suddenly, and he quickly changed the subject, "My child doesn't know how many enemies there are around his father. My child can only find a way to turn these enemies into friends, at least reduce their hatred... and let them gain tangible benefits. Only in this way can father's rear be stable, and father can be free to rule the world!"

Cao Pi's words made Cao Cao ponder for a moment.

——"Is this the "Nine-Rank Officials' Law" that Li Miao dedicated to Zi Huan? Does he want Gu Xiang to compromise with the nobles? snort…"

The anger in Cao Cao's chest suddenly rose.

But just for an instant, the anger was extinguished again.

Cao Cao suddenly thought.

——‘Could it be that Li Miao is not helping Zihuan? His purpose was to make Zi Huan offend Gu Gu, but the person he actually wanted to help was Z Jian? 』

Thinking of this, Cao Cao, who was about to be angry, suddenly calmed down.

He stared at Cao Pi with his tiger eyes.

"You need prestige, public opinion, and available people, and these are things Gu can't give you, so you choose to fight for them yourself, and when necessary, use these against Gu?"

Cao Cao's words struck directly into the depths of Cao Pi's soul.

Intense fear comes along with excitement...

In Cao Pi's view, if he competes for favor, he will never be able to compare with Cao Zhi in his life, but he has found another way to fight for the crown prince, another method, found the prestige and public opinion that can make his father fear, and found a way to the throne. The road of a new era.

He even wanted to let out a loud roar to express his feelings.

But facing his father's cold gaze, Cao Pi suddenly became timid, "My father mostly hired people based on his heart, or recommended by classmates from the same hometown, or recommended by reputation. The two 'seek orders' actually had little effect. The crux of the matter is that my father firmly controls the power of employing people in the hands of his cronies, but this is also the crux of the problem that after my father became king, the ministers could not be of one mind with him, and the ministers opposed him!"

"The child's presentation of the "Nine Ranks of Officials" is a compromise from his father to the clan, but it is also a surrender from the clan to his father! This is for his father's great cause of unification... The emperor of the Han Dynasty said that no one without the surname Liu can be king, my child But I hope that my father... can one day go further! The child even hopes that Wei's method of selecting talents is far better than Han's inspection. One day, when his father becomes king, he will receive the congratulations of hundreds of officials instead of resistance and death. , doesn’t father want to go further?”

Cao Pi has already tried his best...

Even though Li Miao had "kindly" reminded him, Prime Minister Cao might not appreciate this "Nine-Rank Officials' Law" and might even get angry.

But from the moment Cao Pi saw the "Nine-Rank Officials Law", he decided to bet his future on it.

What he was betting on was never the attitude of his father, Cao Cao. What he wanted to win was the support of the ministers and the support of the clan!

How majestic is this force?

Cao Pi was determined that as long as he held this power firmly in his hands, he, Cao Pi, would be invincible in the fight for the throne of the Crown Prince! He can influence his father's thoughts and even offset all his hatred!

at this time.

With a "swish" sound, Cao Cao suddenly turned around, drew his sword, and opened Cao Pi's coat.

Cao Pi knelt down and gritted his teeth, letting his coat peel off, revealing his chest covered in scars from fighting with his father over the years, which was shocking.

Cao Cao was so angry that he laughed, "Okay, okay!"

His eyes were sharp, "In order to achieve the goal, you have learned to unite outsiders to fight against Gu Lai! Very good, you are like Gu's son! Your goal has been achieved, and you can retire. This "Nine-Rank Official" It won't take long for "Human Law" to spread throughout Cao Wei, hahaha... Today, I have met a son who 'dare to provoke me' and 'disobey me'! Retreat..."

With Cao Pi's resignation...

For a moment, only Cao Cao and Cao Zhi were left in the room. Cao Cao took back his sword and asked calmly: "Zijian, what do you think of the "Nine-Rank Officials' Law" mentioned by Zihuan just now?"

Cao Zhi held up his hand and said, "My child is here to ask for forgiveness. I don't dare to speculate on my father's thoughts privately."

"Hahahaha..." Cao Cao laughed, but there was inevitably a bit of disappointment in his laughter.

——"Sure enough, Zijian was too far behind Zihuan in terms of power and strategy!" 』

Unexpectedly, just when Cao Cao thought of this.

Cao Zhi handed over his hand, "Of course, in addition to pleading guilty, the child also has two things to report today. One of them is the strategy to break the situation in the current situation. In fact... my father does not need to implement the second brother's "Nine-grade Officials Law", let alone Compromise with the nobles..."

"The crux of the current unfavorable situation does not lie in the clan, but in the morale of the three armies. If the morale of the three armies can be restored, if Cao Wei has an endless supply of troops, and if the three armies are loyal to their father, then no matter the situation in Xiangfan, Huainan, or Nanyang , or the constraints of those clans... they are all just broken at the first touch! What father wants is military morale!"

Cao Zhi's words made Cao Cao's eyes widen. For a moment, the disappointment in his eyes disappeared, and was replaced by full of expectations for the son he loved most after Cao Chong.

"Zijian, tell me? How to boost the morale of the three armies?"

Cao Zhi paused for a moment and then resolutely opened his mouth: "My child is brave enough to offer his advice. In recent years, there have been wars and disputes. There are many widows and widowers in various counties. My father can recruit those widows, forcibly cut off the relationship, and give all the rewards to all 'scholar families'." Binghu'!"

"In this way, if you get a wife from joining the army, a large number of men will be recruited into the army. Those who are single soldiers can also be assigned wives. Those who have made great achievements can even be rewarded with an additional concubine!"

"With this, how could the officers and soldiers of the three armies not be convinced? How could they not be loyal to their father? How could the morale not be high? Even... as long as this decree is in place, these 'soldier households' will still be 'soldier households', and Cao Wei generals will continue to do so from generation to generation." There are plenty of soldiers and scholars, as long as the heroes are there! Who can shake the foundation of Cao Wei!"

Following Cao Pi's words.

Cao Cao's eyes were full of surprise.

He muttered in dissatisfaction.

——'Is this Li Miao's plan? 』

——"What a good Li Miao, he is not helping Zi Huan, he is Zijian's man!" Living in Zihuan and caring about Zijian, it is obvious that this method of recruiting widows is far better than the "Nine-Rank Officials Law", haha... Zijian finally has someone who can match Zihuan's "Eagle Watching Wolf Gu" 'The one who rivals Sima Zhongda! 』

——"He is much stronger than Yang Xiu!" 』

Thoughts on this…

"Hahahahaha——"

Cao Cao laughed...

As Cao Cao laughed, Cao Pi, who deliberately slowed down, also heard Cao Zhi's "real insights"...

——"The fourth brother is always benevolent and filial?" love? This time...how could you...dedicate such a plan? 』

Although he thought so, Cao Pi's eyes were as dark as the sea.

He knew that such a "suggestion" was more in line with his father's usual domineering style;

It is also more in line with his father's usual style.

Cao Cao understood widows too well, and he also understood the value of widows too well.

Not only does he like widows, but he can also extract huge benefits from them!

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Cao Cao's laughter continued for a long time before it finally stopped.

He patted Cao Zhi's shoulder heavily, but did not comment on his proposal.

It was Cao Zhi, who fell to his knees with a "snap" sound.

"My son...I have one more thing to ask my father."

"Zijian is asking for forgiveness?"

"No!" Cao Zhi handed over his hand, "My child is not guilty, why should I plead guilty? My child... asked his father to severely punish... that Yang Dezu... it was he who forged his father's handwriting and secretly mobilized troops, causing the fall of the north of Jiangxia. My child... my child..."

At the end of the sentence, Cao Zhi really couldn't open his mouth.

He couldn't do it and put all the blame on Yang Xiu.

Cao Cao looked at Cao Zhi in surprise. He helped Cao Zhi up, looked at Cao Zhi's eyes and said with emotion: "We haven't seen each other for a few months. Zijian has grown up and understands tactics! But... you are still benevolent, filial and kind-hearted. It’s embarrassing for you!”

…

…

On the Han River.

The flickering fishing fire shines through the sparse awnings and scatters bits of silver light on the river surface.

A awning boat, with red lights, was floating leisurely.

This was a awning boat from Jiaozhou. The oars swung away, shattering the mirror image of the full moon reflected on the water. A woman in her thirties was sitting on the bow of the boat, sighing faintly.

The woman is wearing a white dress and a white skirt, with three thousand green hairs as black as ink flowing down like a waterfall, hanging down to her slender waist.

Although she has passed her prime, her stunning cheeks still reveal the purest color.

Just like the flower fairy in the mountains who doesn't care about worldly things, everything is filled with moving ethereal beauty...

His eyes were flowing, and what he had in his eyes was just the gentle breeze that penetrated his bones.

This woman in white is Da Qiao.

Her son Sun Shao walked out of the awning and walked slowly behind her.

"Mother...send you to Jiangling. Brother Taishi and I will have nothing to worry about. Hongyan can-"

One sentence was cut off at the most important point.

Da Qiao's eyes were watery, and she turned her head faintly, with a worried expression, "You know, mother... mother doesn't want you to be like this!"

"Hongyan has been silent for a few years, but it is not gone." Sun Shao said firmly, "Besides, there are many doubts about my father's death. Brother Taishi has found some tangible evidence to prove that my father's assassination was related to his second uncle... No, it was with that Sun Quan has nothing to do with it! This matter can’t be let go like this!”

"But... before your father died, he personally gave up this position to Zhongmou!"

Da Qiao murmured and opened his mouth. "He also said that if you don't decide on foreign affairs, you should ask Gong Jin, and if you don't decide on internal affairs, you should ask Zibu..."

"The devil knows what Sun Quan threatened his father with." Sun Shao had already determined that Sun Quan was inseparable from his father's death, even if he was an accomplice. "Perhaps Sun Quan is threatening his father with the safety of his mother, me, and... his three sisters?"

this…

Hearing Sun Shao's decisive words, Da Qiao fell silent.

How could she not know?

Shao'er's "swan geese" will rise again during this trip. What kind of majestic wind will sweep across the entire Jiangdong?

What kind of turmoil will there be here?

Can…

If Da Qiao doesn't want to know the truth about Sun Ce's assassination, that's not entirely true!

——That’s her husband!

"You...you...be careful."

"Mom, just live in Jiangling City with peace of mind. Brother Taishi and I will not leave Jiaozhou. 'Hongyan' has a hundred ways to ruin Sun Quan's reputation!"

Sun Shao's eyes were filled with infinite coldness, and his tone was decisive.

"What's more, it's not just my father who has died in his hands over the years..."

"His hands are already stained with blood——"

…

…
