During these days, the more Cao Pi understood the Han Dynasty, the more he understood how right his father was and how difficult it was.

Cao Pi is not a genius and has no rush to see. He actually cannot see through many things at once and knows the whole story. He needs to think about it for a long time.

But this time, he figured it out.

Or, he felt that he had figured it out.

The first is military power.

Whether there are swords and guns is very important. If Cao Cao does not control the military power, no matter how powerful he has in the temple and has a good reputation among the people, when facing power, he is still a piece of fish on a chopping board without any resistance. Even if he does not cut and kill for the time being, he will not be able to escape the dilemma of killing the donkey in the future.

Therefore, my father was very good at controlling the army and letting his brothers and relatives take over local soldiers. This was also the most important point.

His father Cao Cao did this and did it very well.

In later generations, it seems that no matter who it is, they can say something. It is not that these people in later generations are smarter than those of the Han people, but that a great man took the lead in summarizing this law and selflessly dedicated it. Then some guys thought he understood.

Cao Pi also thought so, and he thought he understood.

The second is the people's hearts.

Some people think that the word "Min" is the people, some people think it is a gentry, some people think it is both, or both are not.

Cao Pi felt that the people's hearts were the gentry.

Just as Cao Cao cannot live without the Cao Xiahou family, the Shandong regime also cannot live without the entire gentry system.

Therefore, it should integrate the "people's hearts" like a commander of military power, remove those who are unfaithful and those who are loyal, so that the Shandong gentry system can eventually get together with Cao Cao.

And the second point is that Cao Pi thinks he can give it a try.

After all, as Cao Cao's son, he should share his worries with Cao Cao.

Strictly speaking, Cao Pi is not a good leader.

He likes to pretend.

Pretend or install something else...

This is his strength and his weakness.

In fact, his mother has many excellent features, but not just "pretending". Mrs. Bian can take off her clothes from the singer. In addition to pretending and observing her expressions, it is also a very important factor to understand the truth.

But the question is Cao Pi...

Compared with Mrs. Bian, he not only lacks some intelligence, but also lacks some patience.

Therefore, Cao Pi showed his dissatisfaction with Kong Rong.

Cao Pi did not directly express his disgust from Kong Rong, he said it in a turn.

However, because Cao Pi was not an old driver, he turned too fast and turned the corner, so he turned the car over.

Cao Pi looked for Dong Zhao, Chen Qun, and even Lu Hong and others, and jiji. Although Cao Pi was concerned about current affairs, what Cao Pi wanted to do was basically impossible to hide from these people.

Cao Pi's behavior was then stopped.

He was called back by Cao Cao...

"What do you think killing is? Do you mean beheading?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, smiled on his face, but said words like ice, "Murdering is so simple? Okay, let me ask you, do you know why I killed Bian Wenli back then?"

Cao Pi was a little confused. Isn’t this talking about Kong Rong? Why did he suddenly get involved in the way?

"It's not because..." Cao Pi said a little hesitantly, "Because Bian Wenli mocked his father?"

『Swish.』 Cao Cao made a sound that he didn't know whether it was a laugh or a disdain, 『Think about it... By the way, why don't you change your problem? Well?"

『…』 Cao Pi shivered slightly.

Cao Cao glanced at Cao Pi, then looked at the book in his hand.

I don’t know whether this is Cao Pi’s ability or Cao Pi’s bad habits. Because Cao Pi himself lacks urgent wisdom, it is difficult for him to fully think about problems. In addition, Cao Cao also has complicated affairs on weekdays. When Cao Pi was a child, he could only follow his mother, Mrs. Bian. As a result, he learned a lot of skills in observing words and expressions, but he did not learn how to use his brain later.

When encountering a problem, Cao Pi likes to throw out an answer casually and then check whether the answer is correct from the other party’s reaction.

When meeting his parents, there is no problem with this method, because whether it is Cao Cao or Mrs. Bian, they will correct Cao Pi after discovering that the answer was wrong, but if Cao Pi formed a habit, he would encounter it in the future, not just his parents...

Just like this time Cao Pi went to Dong Zhao, Chen Qun and others to find that he basically got "what the young master said" and "it was as good as the young master said" and so on, and he did not get any effective feedback at all.

Even so, Cao Pi still couldn't change his original habits in a moment. After all, it wouldn't be nice to use his brains less? Are you unhappy to eat and drink? What are you doing if you pay for that?

And here in Cao Cao, I felt that Cao Pi was pretending to be stupid "intentionally".

"Come on, I'll tell you." Cao Cao waited for a while, a little impatient, and looked at Cao Pi, and then threw the book in his hand on the table. "Who is the Gao family in Chenliu? There was a Gao family in Wu County. First, there was a Gao family, but he did not serve as Wang Mangshi, and was harmed by the prefect of Huaiyang. Guzi was named Shen, Duohou Shaohua, and served as the magistrate of Donglai. He returned home with old age and sickness, and had a hut and a bunch of houses and no sacrificial treasures. He was famous for his tranquility. He was named Shen Zi, Chang, and was appointed as the governor and county magistrate. Shi Zihong was appointed as the filial and honest officer; Hong Zijing was appointed as the chief magistrate of Shu County; Jing Zirou served somewhere. He also had Shen Zi, the chief magistrate of Sili, and was granted Zigong, the prefect of Shu County. Gong Zigan, was once the first general...

"There is a Gao family in Wuxian County, and then there is a Cai family..." Cao Cao said in a gusto, "I won't mention the Cai family. Some people who have served in some places are of course more famous. In Guanzhong... Who else in Yanzhou? Puyang family and Jiang family are relatively small, so don't mention it...

"Shouzhang... Zhang?" Cao Pi said, then looked at his father's face in habit. After a look, he suddenly remembered that his father had just said not to look at his face. He quickly twisted his eyes aside and then looked out of the corner of his eyes, but he didn't know that he looked even more stupid.

Cao Cao did not care about Cao Pi's small actions at this moment. Because of the words Cao Pi mentioned, he couldn't help but fall into memories, "Yes, Zhang Zhang has Zhang..."

Shouzhang Zhang family, Zhang Miao, and Zhang Chao were once in a glorious way, but now they have turned into loess. Cao Cao still has some face, but he only killed his whole family and did not exterminate the clan, but Zhang family also fell from Chenliu's top surname...

"There are also the Wang family of Shouzhang and Qin family of Pingqiu, both of which have eight chefs. Among Wei County, there are also the Zhang family, which has a Confucian style in the world. There are also the Ruan family, who are good at classics, proficient in music, and are often talented." Cao Cao recovered from a slight trance and continued to say, "The Wu family in Changyuan, and his ancestors had a gap with the general Liang. Because he was spared from returning home, he did not return to office. He sucked vegetables in the garden and taught in the classics, and was mostly famous for his Qing Dynasty. Donghun had Liu family, and King Xiao of Liang. Donghun also had Yu family, and the second generation had three dukes..."

Cao Cao continued to pull his fingers, "The Huang Fan family, the Lu family in Rencheng, the Yan family in Jibei, the Dai family in Gangxian, the Fan family in Luxian, and the Wen family in Jiyin... These were all wealthy families at that time, or local tyrants, or famous families, or loyal families... So, did Pier understand?"

『…』 Cao Pi was silent for a while, 『I understand.

"What did you understand?" Cao Cao asked.

Cao Pi lowered his head, "These are all wealthy families with Gao surnames..."

Cao Cao almost didn't spit out an old blood.

This still requires you to "understand"?

I have made so many statements to make you understand that there are these people?

Seeing that the old classmate Cao's face was unwilling, Cao Pi hurriedly gave some oil, started the turbine, and started the boost and rotated. "My father's intention is... there are many wealthy families in Yanzhou, and the Bian clan... are his pioneers. If he does not kill, he may have endless troubles?"

Cao Cao's face then changed a little, and he nodded slightly.

"At that time, the Bian clan had a son named Feng and Jingzhao Yin, and there was also a famous name. The county people said, "There were Zhao, Zhang, and the three kings in front of him, and Bian and Yan two kings." Later, there was Zishao, who was famous for his articles and taught hundreds of people. During the time of Xiaohuan, he was the prime minister of Linying, and appointed him as the chief minister of Taizhong, and wrote Dongguan. He was then moved to the prefect of the northern region and became the prefect of Shangshu Ling. Later, he became the prime minister of Chen and was appointed as the chief of the emperor. He wrote poems, chants, steles, inscriptions, books, and strategies, and fifteen chapters. He was truly a literary master for the time."

"And the Bian clan made..." Cao Cao paused for a moment, then sighed slightly, "I am indeed talented... but relying on my talent... the key is that I don't understand the truth... Someone who recruited money and grain in Yanzhou was certainly to strengthen himself and establish his life with martial arts, but recruited soldiers to Jingping and resist Heishan! The black mountain bandits invaded Yanzhou, and these powerful men lived in the fort and shrank into the high walls, or had no worries, but the local people, rural villages and villages were poisoned! The Bian clan was stingy with money and grain, and obstructed them from it, and there were many sarcastic words to incite public opinion to resist... If they did not kill them, they would be destroyed! "

In fact, Cao Cao said it as brief as possible, and the real situation is very complicated. At the same time, the powerful gentry of Yanzhou still supported Cao Cao against the Black Mountain bandits at that time, and did not oppose Cao Cao to fight the Black Mountain bandits as Cao Cao said, but opposed Cao Cao continuing to expand his army after defeating the Black Mountain bandits.

When Heishan came, Cao Cao and others were brave and brave. When Heishan bandits were defeated, Cao Cao became a martial artist and a descendant of the eunuch...

In addition, the old boy Tao Qian in Xuzhou was not at ease at that time, and Yuan Shu was planning to go north in the south. Liu Biao in Jingzhou was not old yet, and was also considering whether to go north or south. Yuan Shao was busy dealing with Gongsun Zan, and he could not give Cao Cao much support.

So, while Rang is just a step forward. Who said that while Rang was young and energetic at that time, he was impulsive when he was encouraged. Of course, perhaps Rang also had plans to use the idea of ​​suppressing Cao Cao and then gaining the growth of his own reputation and achieving a higher position.

Cao Cao killed Bian Ren, who jumped the most at that time, and the scene stabilized temporarily. The money and grain retrieved from the Bian family and the subsequent collection of other gentry surnames also made Cao Cao survive the crisis of material shortage at that time.

The consequences of the outbreak after a brief calm almost cost Cao Cao his life.

From that time on, Lao Cao learned his lessons and must be from Lao Cao's family in an important position.

"Since that's the case, why did Bian's son arrest Confucius Wenju?" Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi and said, "I know you have been running for this matter these days... But Pier, you are doing this badly! I killed Bian Wenli, not my likes and dislikes! You must understand!"

『Uh…』 Cao Pi subconsciously answered, 『Children understand…』

Cao Cao frowned, "You always explain clearly, but what did you do?"

"Boy, kid shouldn't discuss government affairs..." Cao Pi lowered his head.

『…』 Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi and thought a little bit about it. Can this guy return the goods? Why are he so stupid? He didn’t fall when he was young? If he said he was like his mother, wouldn’t his mother give birth to a smart brother?

In the Han Dynasty, there were no restrictions on his descendants' contact with foreign ministers, let alone any taboos. It was not until the Tang Dynasty's car rumbling over that he expressed high vigilance for his descendants' contact with foreign ministers such as the crown prince.

Therefore, Cao Cao's dissatisfaction with Cao Pi was not because Cao Pi went to meet some foreign ministers, but because there were other reasons.

『Is it Bian Wenli crazy, or Ni Zhengping crazy?』 Cao Cao frowned and said, 『Is Bian Wenli even more fiercely scolding me, or is Chen Kongzhang even more fiercely? Why did I kill Bian instead of Ni Zhengping, Chen Kongzhang? Why did I tell you in detail about the wealthy families in Yanzhou?』

『This...』 Cao Pi's turbine turned rapidly, but unfortunately there was not much oil, and he could see that there was a blue smoke rising up his head.『My father said... Isn't it, not selfish desire? By the way, it is "the superior governs, if the superior is in charge, the subordinate is governed, and if the subordinate is not in charge, the subordinate is in chaos"?"

Cao Cao's brow seemed to loosen a little, "Well, it's somewhat interesting, but it's inaccurate."

『…』 Cao Pi's turbo suddenly stopped. This is not accurate? What's going to do?!

"A gentleman is responsible for the foundation, and the foundation is established and the Tao is born." Cao Cao said slowly, "If you do things, you should know the root of the truth. Do you understand?"

"I..." Cao Pi subconsciously wanted to explain clearly, but he was worried that if he asked what he understood, he was stuck in half, and he was about to go crazy if he was neither up nor down.

"You said, since a gentleman is concerned about the foundation, then what should I do with the foundation of my Cao family?" Cao Cao asked.

Cao Pi knew about this, so he looked up happily and said, "It should be a soldier! Cao should establish his life by holding the blade!"

Cao Cao nodded, "Yes, you should hold the blade. Then where does this blade come from?"

『This…』 Cao Pi got stuck again, and after a while, he said, 『This blade came from the people…』

Cao Cao nodded again, "This is the reason why I killed Bian! It was not that Bian was insulting me or that I hated Bian. It was the place where I made my life. There was no loss. It was not that my selfish desires killed him. It was the killing of the upper and lower classes of Cao. Therefore, even though there was a rebellion later, the children of Cao still returned to their hearts and shared the same hatred of the enemy!"

"Chen Kongzhang, Ni Zhengping and others, although they are humiliating something, they are just a temporary aura and have no hindrance to the overall situation." Cao Cao continued, "Killing will make you look stingy... It is better to forgive me... The things that likes and dislikes in the world cannot be all in one place. How can you kill them? Killing for private purposes shows that even if you kill one person, it will be small. If you kill tens of millions of people, you can be the most powerful! In the past, General Huangfu did not kill one person at home, and went out to slaughter hundreds of thousands of people, blood stained the rivers and the roads of the capital, but who would not be the most powerful?"

Cao Pi suddenly realized and said loudly: "The child understands! As a gentleman, he should seek his foundation. This "original" is Cao's family, which is a matter of official affairs. Only by killing the public can one be the right way!"

"Then what nonsense are you talking about these two days?" Cao Cao squinted his eyes and looked at Cao Pi with disdain, "Kong Wenju is unfaithful and unfilial? Insulting the Prime Minister? Fish and meat? Well? Just these words, do you think others can't tell that you want Kong Wenju to die?"

"This..." Cao Pi lowered his head, but he couldn't help but mutter in his stomach. Isn't this Kong Rong's crime you said before? I just repeated it. Why has it turned into my selfish desire again?
To be continued...
