When Cao Cao was frustrated, Li Zhi comforted him and said:

"Brother Meng De is a great talent. At this time, he is just frustrated for a moment. He will definitely be able to show his talents in the future. Why are you so upset?"

Cao Cao heard his words of comfort, calmed down his mood, and smiled heartily at Li Zhizhu.

"My dear brother Xing, there is no need to comfort me. Cao knows he has offended the eunuch. Now that the eunuch is in power, it is difficult for Cao to serve as an official."

Then he brightened up

"But that's fine. You don't have to worry about government affairs, and you can have free time to read and hunt."

When Li Zhi heard what he said, he was silent for a moment and asked him

"Has Meng De ever regretted it? If Meng De surrendered to the eunuchs now, Brother Meng De would surely be put to good use by them with his talent."

When Cao Cao heard this, he poured the wine cup heavily on several tables and said to Li Zhi with an unswerving expression.

"Knowing your virtuous brother, what does this mean?"

"How could such a person be like this?!"

"A true man is born between heaven and earth. He is worthy of heaven above, worthy of earth below, and worthy of his parents in the middle. He will never regret his actions!"

"Eunuchs bring harm to the world, and Cao Bian has a sworn hatred with him. How can he surrender to them?"

"Why is my good brother Xing so humiliating?"

"You must never say this again! Otherwise, I will break off our relationship with you!"

"Hehehe..."

Cao Cao's huge reaction made Li Zhi chuckle.

He said to Cao Cao: "Brother Meng De, there is no need to be angry. I just tested Brother Meng De. I have something important to tell Brother Meng De. If Brother Meng De surrenders to the eunuch, wouldn't his life be in danger?"

To be honest, Li Zhi was frightened by people of this era.

Take Guo Jia for example, he was such a wise person in history, but in reality, he is just a smarter naughty kid.

He acts a little extreme, is easily impulsive, is curious about everything, and is very immature. This is not the genius Guo Jia in history who was so charming and resourceful.

Even if we take Yuan Shu, a person who was evaluated as "a withered bone in the grave", he looked down upon people from a humble family.

But he is also a powerful person in terms of verbal wisdom and clique formation. Didn't you see that today Cao Cao was forced to yell at his words and almost fight him to death?

Later, Yuan Shu pointed out Cao Cao's identity as a eunuch. Because of his eunuch status, Cao Cao almost became the target of others.

He brought Cao Cao here today to discuss a major matter, and he must first understand Cao Cao's position.

In history, there are not many records about Cao Cao during this period, so...what if he voted for the eunuchs?

Seeing that Cao Cao was so excited, Li Zhi felt relieved and whispered to Cao Cao: "Brother Meng De, are you willing to kill the eunuchs with me?"

"oh?"

When Cao Cao heard what he said, he immediately woke up and looked at Li Zhi with squinted eyes.

"My dear brother Xing, do you have any good plans to kill the eunuch?"

"If my dear brother Xing really has a plan to kill the eunuch, then... if you can find a way to do it, please feel free to speak out."

"Hehehe..."

Li Zhi smiled faintly and then looked at Guo Jia

"This is the method that brother Feng Xiao came up with, but I added a little bit."

"Brother is talking about...setting up an ambush outside the palace gate and killing him directly."

Guo Jia became interested after hearing this, and asked Li Zhi in a low voice with great interest.

"Of course, the wise brother's plan is the best plan. Wen Ruo doesn't use the wise brother's plan. Although it is a bit pedantic, Wen Ruo also has his own difficulties."

"But my brother feels that the method of a wise brother is the only way to kill Cao Jie."

When Li Zhi said this, he thought in his heart

"Isn't this the beheading method used in later generations? Such things have happened a lot in later generations, so there's nothing surprising about it, but the method doesn't have to worry about old age, as long as it works."

"Brother also thinks Jia Zhi's strategy is useful? Just like Jia said, why wouldn't Wen Ruo use such a good strategy? He is indeed a bit pedantic."

When Guo Jia said this, he even despised Xun in words.

"My dear brother, what you said is wrong. We are in vain, but Wen Ruo has an official position. What he thinks is different from us."

"If we ambushe Cao Jie and others, everyone in the world will call us righteous men, just like Jing Ke who assassinated Qin."

"But Wen Ruo is different."

At this point, Li Zhi took a sip of wine, sighed, and said slowly

"He must act in an upright way, because he is an official of the Han Dynasty, and what he represents is the face of the Han Dynasty. If he does not act in an upright manner, he will kill Cao Jie, and then how will he face the people of the world?

?”

"And it's easy to destroy but difficult to build. If Wen Ruo is like us, he will assassinate his political opponents."

"Then... in the future, if you kill me and I kill you, the officials will live in panic and be frightened every day. Will the world still be in chaos?"

"So...Brother Wen Ruo will definitely not agree with your plan."

"Brother Wen Ruo must abide by the rules of officialdom."

"In the officialdom, rules are very important and need to be carefully maintained by officials. Who dares to break them, even if it is to punish national traitors!"

"Brother was an official before?"

Guo Jia saw that he spoke clearly and logically, and asked him blankly.

"As a brother, I have never been an official."

Li Zhi glanced at her and said lightly

"Then why does brother know so much about officialdom?"

"Hehehe..."

Li Zhi smiled, but said no more words, but said in his heart

"This is my strength. Although there are many things that are different from now, but the general way of being an official... should be similar. There are many such books in later generations. You will understand the truth after reading them."

"Okay! My dear brother Xing is indeed a talented person. He even understands official affairs clearly. I admire you very much! Come on, let us drink a glass of wine to you."

Cao Cao listened to his words and respected him.

After everyone drank, Cao Cao said to Li Zhi with an inexplicable expression.

"Xing Zhixian, can you tell Cao in detail about the execution of Cao Jie?"

Li Zhi smiled at him and shook his head.

"This is not a place for talking. Be careful, the walls have ears. We are here today just to drink and have fun. Apart from that, how about we not talk about other things?"

When Cao Cao heard what he said, he narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.

"The wise brother Xing is cautious, so that's fine, if the wise brother Xing is really as secretive as Yuan Shu."

Cao Cao said this with disdain on his face.

"If you can't tell me what happened today, just pretend you didn't hear anything and I will never care about it again."

"Hahaha……"

Li Zhi laughed loudly after hearing this and greatly appreciated Cao Cao's vigilance.

"Brother Meng De is really alert. If Brother Meng De agrees today, he will feel uneasy."

"But before that, we still have to see if Wen Ruo and others succeed. If they and others really succeed, we won't have to worry about it."

"Brother, the wine here is really tasteless. How about I go back and drink some of the wine brewed by my brother?"

At this time, Guo Jia was holding the wine cup and looking at the turbid wine in the wine cup with boredom and said.

"Oh? You can also make wine? So, you should have a good taste."

Cao Cao said this with a look of expectation on his face.

"It's true. The wine brewed by Brother Xing is extremely delicious. Now that Zhong thinks about it, the wine bug in his belly is ready to start."

At this time, Xi Zhi, who had been silent all the time, spoke.

When Cao Cao heard what the two said, he was just being polite, but now he actually turned into expecting something in his heart.

Then he said: "Then what are we still doing here? Why don't we quickly go to your residence and drink the fine wine brewed by us?"

"good"

The other two people also followed suit.

In this way, the four of them got up, paid for the wine, and returned to Xun Mansion in a carriage.

That day, the four of them got extremely drunk in the Xun Mansion, and Cao Cao even went crazy with alcohol.
