The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 503 Volume My sister can't be that powerful
"Why did Wen Ruo react so strongly? Emperor Gaozu said that only the Liu family could be kings... But nowadays, when states are established, there will definitely be no kings. When the Zhou Dynasty granted the whole world, there was no kingship, right?"

"It's true that no kingship was conferred upon him! But in the end, the rituals and music were ruined, and all the princes of the seven countries became kingships!"

……

The tension between the two also made everyone realize that something was wrong.

The banquet that was promised was essentially a political meeting under the instruction of the emperor.

This made everyone attending the banquet silent.

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were sitting in the second seat. Seeing that Jia Xu and Xun Yu were starting to argue, they felt uneasy...

Cao Zhi regretted even more why he came to attend this banquet. Wouldn't it be nice to go to a brothel to play?

While Cao Zhi was thinking about this, Cao Pi next to him suddenly sighed and said, "If I had known it would be so boring, I would have gone to the women's lodge to play. Why did I have to come here to get angry?"

They are indeed brothers!
Upon hearing this, Cao Zhi pulled Cao Pi's sleeve, signaling Cao Pi to sneak away with him!
"Zihuan! Zijian!"

It was only because Cao Ang, the eldest brother, glared at them that they dared not speak.

"What Jia Zhongshu and Xun Lingjun are discussing now is not only about the foundation of the Han Dynasty, but also closely related to my father's future! How can you two take it so lightly?"

……

Cao Pi hesitated and pointed at himself: "Brother, I am the runner-up."

Then he pointed at Cao Zhi next to him and said, "This guy is a Tanhua... not a profession! It means the third place in the imperial examination!"

"Plus, my sister is a concubine, so as long as she behaves herself, there won't be any big problems in the future."

"What does the establishment of states have to do with us? Brother, do you think we can achieve great achievements as civil servants like those two evildoers Sima Zhongda and Zhuge Kongming?"

Cao Ang was speechless for a moment.

Compared with Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, his future as the eldest brother is actually more uncertain, so he is so anxious.

Imperial Examination...

Cao Ang's family knew his own business. Years of military career had almost worn away his bookish temperament, making it difficult for him to concentrate on reading.

Even if he went to study, with Cao Ang's current mentality, it would be impossible for him to strive for the top three like Cao Pi and Cao Zhi...

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that although the imperial examination is the best choice for entering officialdom, there are too many talented people nowadays. If one cannot squeeze into the top ten or even the top three, one will never be able to soar to the sky and can only hone his qualifications silently.

Therefore, Cao Ang had only one path for the future, and that was to assist his father Cao Cao in building his career, hoping to be canonized as a pillar of the state one day!
If he could, on the basis of enfeoffment as a pillar of the state, also establish a state, that would be Cao Ang's lifelong wish!
So after hesitating for a moment, Cao Ang signaled to his father Cao Cao to join the battle between Jia Xu and Xun Yu.

Although Cao Cao made meritorious contributions in Liaodong, there must have been many people in the Han court who disliked him.

If Cao Cao could gain a reputation as the "first to initiate the establishment of a state", it would be more beneficial for his survival within the Han court!
When Cao Cao saw his eldest son's gesture, he of course instantly understood what the other party meant.

He hesitated for a moment.

Cao Cao also joined the battle——

"Wen Ruo, it is precisely because rituals and music have collapsed that we must uphold the Zhou rituals."

"Just like Dong... Grand Tutor Dong, who was conferred the title of Duke and established a feudal state, isn't there a precedent for this?"

Whether for his own interests or for the sake of the generals' position, Cao Cao chose to fire at Xun Yu at this moment.

When Jia Xu heard Cao Cao speak, he smiled imperceptibly and stopped talking, allowing the two to argue.

"Mengde!"

Xun Yu obviously did not expect that Cao Cao would stab him in the back for the second time!
"Is the establishment of a state by the Grand Master the same as what Your Majesty is talking about now?"

Dong Zhuo's title of Duke of Yong was essentially still the noble fiefdom of the past!

Just set aside some counties and let those who receive salaries receive some salaries, that's all!

But what should the emperor do now?
It was imitating the scene of enfeoffment of princes during the Zhou Dynasty, and really divided up all the land, population and power!

How can this be the right way?

Even the last Zhou Dynasty that did this, first King You of Zhou was conquered by the Quanrong in Haojing, then Duke Zhuang of Zheng shot the Zhou emperor, and then the King of Chu asked for the Nine Cauldrons and committed treason!
Is the emperor doing this because he wants to become the second Zhou royal family?

Xun Yu was puzzled and even felt aggrieved!

Xun Yu dared to swear that he had no selfish motives at all! He really wanted the Han Dynasty to be stable and peaceful for a long time! So that the emperor could enjoy eternal inheritance! Peace in the world!

But whether it was the respected emperor, his colleague Jia Xu, or his old friend Cao Cao, they all refuted him on this point!
"You guys! You guys are all doing this because of your own selfish desires!"

Xun Yu was cursing loudly at the end!

Cao Cao, who was being scolded, was somewhat embarrassed, because he chose to support "enfeoffment and establishment of a nation" out of selfish motives.

I can only continue to shake my head: "Wen Ruo, why are you so stubborn? Why are you so black and white?"

"Don't just look at the disadvantages of everything, you also have to look at the advantages."

"You said that the Zhou royal family was bullied by the princes... This is indeed true, but have you ever thought about the benefits of the Zhou family for eight hundred years?"

"At that time, the Guanzhong, Hedong, and Sanchuan areas were still infested with barbarians."

"Not to mention the remote Jizhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou... these places are full of barbarians with cut hair and tattoos. Haven't you seen these in history books?"

"When the seven kingdoms become the hegemons, all the land will belong to China, and there will be no trace of barbarians in the nine states. Isn't this the achievement of establishing a state?"

"Wen Ruo, you can call it selfishness or the general trend, but now, whether it is the emperor or the other pillars and generals, they are all determined to establish a state!"

"Bang!" Xun Yu dropped the wine bottle heavily on the table.

"Good! Good! Wenhe! So you are going to hold a Hongmen Banquet for me today?"

"Even if it is the emperor's idea, is it necessarily correct? You still use those pillars to threaten me? Good! You all know where my gate is, Xun Yu, just come and find me! I want to see what lotus you can say!"

Afterwards, Xun Yu left the table angrily, not giving Jia Xu and Cao Cao any face at all!

……

Stubborn donkey!

And he is a stubborn donkey who occupies the moral high ground!

Although Xun Yu is now firmly opposed to the establishment of a state, there is one thing that is beyond doubt -

That is, Xun Yu really has no selfish motives at all!
Compared with other generals who were eager to be granted a fiefdom, Xun Yu was really only concerned about the long-term stability of the Han Dynasty, so he resolutely implemented the policy of strengthening the trunk and weakening the branches.

Anyone with even a shred of selfishness will be killed without a trace in front of Xun Yu's frankness!
Jia Xu felt a little helpless at this moment.

Faced with Xun Yu, who was like a moralist, he could only ask another person who had no selfish motives to persuade him...

"Your Majesty, I really can only rely on you for this stubborn donkey..."

At this moment, Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu's back as he angrily left the table, and he seemed to vaguely see the figure of Xun Yu when he left in Yanzhou in the past.

"Wen Ruo."

Cao Cao called out Xun Yu's courtesy name, but suddenly he felt a splitting headache!

not good!

It's a headache!
And this time the headache is more severe than any previous one!
"thump!"

Cao Cao's eyes went dark, and he instantly fainted from the pain and fell headfirst!
"Father!"

"Mengde!"

"Lord!"

"..."

The originally lively banquet suddenly turned into chaos!
Xun Yu, who was about to leave, suddenly lost the desire to leave. He immediately came to Cao Cao's side and guarded him anxiously.

"Why is Meng De like this?"

Guo Jia, who had been invisible during the banquet, now surrounded Cao Cao and said solemnly, "It's a headache!"

"Why does the headache become like this?"

Xun Yu knew that Cao Cao had a headache.

But he didn't know that Cao Cao's headache would be so serious!
"Since the defeat at Yingshui, the pressure on you has doubled. This rage has been flaring up every few days, and each time it's getting more severe than the last."

Guo Jia drove away the crowd that gathered around him and said, "Don't move me for now, or you may lose your life!"

"Let Meng De lie down where he is, and quickly find a doctor to treat him!"

"Good! Good!"

The eldest son Cao Ang was completely at a loss at this moment.

Although Cao Ang knew that Cao Cao suffered from migraine, Cao Cao always concealed it very well and rarely showed it in front of Cao Ang.

Now seeing Cao Cao actually fall to the ground, I realized how serious the situation has become!
"Zihuan! Go call a doctor..."

Cao Ang looked back and found that Cao Pi and Cao Zhi had sneaked away without him knowing it!
"These two bastards..."

Cao Ang could only go to find a doctor himself, but at this moment a female voice suddenly came: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Cao Ang was familiar with this voice.

Cao Jie!

It's already this late, why are you still causing trouble?

But Cao Jie completely ignored his brother's murderous look, and didn't care whether it was the Minister of the Central Secretariat Jia Xu or the Minister of the Chancellery Xun Yu who was blocking his way. He pushed them all away, knelt down beside Cao Cao, and opened the box he was carrying.

Only then did everyone see that the box actually contained some silver needles used for acupuncture!

Although Cao Jie is young, he looks very mature.

Observe the complexion, feel the pulse, and give acupuncture, all in one go!
As a silver needle penetrated deeply into the Toufeng point on the outside of his thigh, Cao Cao's face turned visibly red.

"call!"

Cao Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll write you another prescription. Brother, go get the medicine and feed it to father... But father's disease has penetrated deep into his bones. It's not something I can cure. Ultimately, we still need a famous doctor to come and treat him."

Taking the pen and ink, Cao Jie fluently wrote down the prescription, and then handed it to Cao Ang who looked dazed: "What are you standing there for? Why don't you go?"

Cao Ang looked at Cao Ji in disbelief, then looked at the prescription in his hand.

impossible!
My sister can't be that awesome!

I haven't seen my younger brothers for only a year or two, and not only have my younger brothers passed the imperial examinations, but even my younger sister has become a famous doctor?

What exactly is this Chang'an?
