Chapter 1226 Spring and Autumn Characteristics
The book is followed last time.
"Yi'er, if you have anything, just say it. Brother Meng De is not a narrow-minded person, and he knows the truth that honest words are unpleasant!
So, you don't have to worry about being convicted for your words."
After saying this, he looked at Cao Cao with a smile and asked, "Brother Meng De is right?"
After hearing Li Zhi's words, Cao Cao rolled his eyes helplessly.
Although he understood that Li Zhi was using words to him, he was not the kind of petty person. Even if Guo Yi said bad things, as long as they were useful to him, he would not mind.
So, he nodded and said, "Yi'er, Gu's achievements are definitely not a petty person. If you have something to say, Gu will forgive you for your sins."
"Thank you, lord." After hearing Cao Cao's words, Guo Yi finally felt relieved and said, "The lord said just now, the cost of betraying the lord is too high, so the casual interests cannot lead to the betrayal of the civil officials under the lord, but..."
Speaking of this, he raised his head, stared at Cao Cao with bright eyes, and asked word by word: "Did the lord forget the characteristics of the civil officials in the Spring and Autumn Period?"
"Civil officials in the Spring and Autumn Period..." Cao Cao was silent after hearing Guo Yidi's words.
He didn't expect this just now, and now he suddenly remembered that he was terrified that if he really returned to the Spring and Autumn Period and had to insist on unifying the world, most of the civil officials under his command would have to rebel!!!
Don't think this is a joke!
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the biggest feature of civil officials was that they did not concentrate on governing the country, but focused on promoting their own knowledge!
The reason for every civil servant to become an official is that his official function promotes his own knowledge, so they become officials.
If their official positions cannot promote their own knowledge, they will immediately hang their seals willfully, and there are countless such things in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Even this "willful" style has flowed to the current Han Dynasty.
Nowadays, many willful civil officials who were in office, either felt that their official positions were too small, they felt depressed and unsuccessful, or felt that the court was corrupt, defeated, and were not worthy of their own surrender. They would hang the seal on the beam of the hall and then sway their sleeves and leave.
This behavior will not only not be criticized, but will be admired by the world!
For example, in history, Chen Gong left to help Cao Cao hang seals, and Guan Yu's allusions such as "hang seals and seals gold" were all derived from this trend.
Therefore, once the situation in the world is formed during the Spring and Autumn Period, countless ambitious people will immediately strive for their ambitions!
Of course, the "ambition" mentioned here does not mean dominating the world, but becoming a saint!
That’s right, the biggest feature of Spring and Autumn is the emergence of countless "sons" that are worshipped, that is, saints!
Even if the knowledge of these people has not been passed down, they will definitely be famous throughout the ages.
And for good (hào) literati, once they have the opportunity to become "son", they will definitely go crazy!
At that time, whoever dares to unify the world will stop him even if they fight for their lives!
Because once the world is unified, they will never have the opportunity to promote their knowledge and will never have the chance to become saints.
Just like in history, after the Qin Dynasty unified the world, there were no more saints.
Of course, the saint mentioned here refers to the kind of saints that everyone in the world recognizes, rather than just the "saints" recognized by a single knowledge.
Saint "It's better not to mention it!"
Back to the point, Cao Cao's face changed after thinking about this again.
At the end, he let out a long breath, stood up, saluted Guo Yi slightly, and said, "Gou thanks Yier for his bitter medicine. If Yier hadn't pointed it out, Gu would have almost fallen into a place of doom!"
"This...this...this...this...this...this dare not...this..." Guo Yi was frightened by Cao Cao's salute.
He rushed to Cao Cao and helped him up, shook his head repeatedly, his face turned pale even more.
In the end, he turned his head and looked at Li Zhi with a begging gaze, hoping that Li Zhi could help him.
He had never been exposed to such things before, so he was a little panicked for a moment.
"Haha..." Seeing this, Li Zhi shook his head with a smile, and after slapping it a few times, he didn't say anything.
Because this is the gift that Guo Yi deserves!
To be honest, Li Zhi didn't expect Guo Yi to think so deeply.
After Guo Yidi's reminder, Li Zhi suddenly realized that the world must not return to the situation in the Spring and Autumn Period!
Otherwise, his goal of educating the world would never be able to achieve!
Because when everyone wants to become a saint, they will find that Li Zhi, a person who educates the world, is the most likely to become a saint!
At that time, everyone in the world who has this idea will attack him!
Seeing that Li Zhi ignored him, Guo Yi gritted the bullet and helped Cao Cao up.
"Hu..." After Cao Cao stood up, he let out a long breath and looked at Li Zhiwen with a serious face: "Brother Xingzhi, how do you think I should stop the aristocratic family?"
"..." Li Zhi frowned and thought for a while, then folded the folding fan and said, "At this point, there is no good idea.
I can't just stop the aristocratic family, right?
They did nothing wrong, they just wanted to live longer.
In fact, Brother Meng De doesn’t have to worry too much. It’s so difficult to re-establish the vassal state!
Nowadays, the world has accepted the county system, and it is extremely difficult to reopen the feudal system!
Especially those old stubborn people who are loyal to the Han Dynasty will never agree with this matter!
Besides, even if they agree, there will inevitably be many differences in the division and governance of the land. It will be impossible to distinguish them in just two or three years!
After two or three years, Brother Meng De has already prepared. At that time, if they mention the establishment of a vassal state, Brother Meng De can use this as an excuse to send troops directly!”
"That's true." Cao Cao finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Li Zhi's words.
He was really afraid that those aristocratic families would succeed just now!
If this is true, Cao Cao will be in a dilemma!
If the vassal state is not established, he will be shorter than the other vassals, and the civil and military generals under his command who thought of following the dragon ministers would not agree.
But if he agrees, most of the civil servants he will give up will not be trusted!
At that time, once he has the intention of unifying the world, his civil officials may not really drag him down as Guo Yi said!
Seeing that Cao Cao finally let go, Li Zhi stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Brother Meng De, if nothing is wrong, I will take my leave first."
"Yes," Cao Cao nodded after hearing this,
Guo Yi, who was beside him, said, "Come on, Yi'er, learn to handle official duties with the orphan."
Through what happened just now, Cao Cao was very satisfied with Guo Yi, so he didn't mind promoting Guo Yi.
"..." Looking at Cao Cao who was very enthusiastic about Guo Yi, a strange light flashed in Li Zhi's eyes.
Then, he pretended to be unintentional and asked: "Brother Meng De, since you are so tired of handling official business alone, why not bring Mr. Cao Ang with you?"
Li Zhi actually couldn't understand why Cao Cao didn't let Cao Ang handle government affairs with him?
You should know that Cao Ang is his eldest son, and Cao Ang has always revealed to the public that he will hand over this foundation to Cao Ang in a hundred years in the future.
From this we can see that Cao Cao was very satisfied with Cao Ang, the heir.
But since you are satisfied, why is Cao Cao unwilling to let Cao Ang take over his government affairs?
"What's your name?" After hearing Li Zhi's words, Cao Cao waved his hand impatiently and blamed him: "You and I are sympathetic to brothers, so you are Ang'er's uncle!
Isn’t you calling him a young master a shortage of his life?!
In the future, you can just call him Aner.
If you don’t want to call this nickname, you can also directly call him Cao Ang. You must not use a respectful title!"
Just kidding, you must understand the name!
If Li Zhizhen always called Cao Ang by "Young Master", he would never have the face to go to Li Zhi's mansion in the future!
Cao Cao knew how powerful Li Qing, the daughter of Li Zhi, was!
If Li Qing heard his father, Li Zhi, always called Cao Ang "Young Master", then Cao Ang would never have to pursue Li Qing!
After hearing Cao Cao's words, Li Zhi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Brother Meng De, don't talk about him. The title is just a trivial matter. Please pay attention to it in the future.
You should tell me why you didn’t let Ang’er handle official business as you please!”
"...ah..." After being silent for a while, Cao Cao sighed long and rubbed his face helplessly and said, "It's shameful to say that Ang'er can be considered to be scheming and well-organized in handling other matters.
But once he faced these copywriting, he handled it in a mess. He had read many of the answers he had reviewed and wanted to hit people!"
Speaking of this, she sighed again and asked Li Zhi with a tired face: "Brother Xingzhi, did you choose the wrong choice for your brother Aner as your heir?"
Cao Cao has always been upset about this matter, and he was still very satisfied with Cao Ang at the beginning.
But after Cao Ang came into contact with official business, Cao Cao was stunned.
He didn't expect that Cao Ang was so weak. Once he came into contact with official duties, he became a fool and knew nothing about the official documents he had reviewed!
"..." Guo Yi, who was standing beside him, changed his face when he heard Cao Cao's words, shrank his neck and shoulders, and wanted to turn himself into a transparent person.
Just kidding, this is the family affairs of the Cao family, and it is also a secret matter. If it is spread, Cao Cao and Li Zhi will definitely have nothing to do, but his troubles will be great!
"What happened?!" After hearing Cao Cao's words, Li Zhi ignored Guo Yi and frowned tightly.
"Is this fake?" Cao Cao rubbed his eyebrows with a melancholy face and smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I am very satisfied with Ang'er and don't want to change his heirs.
