Chapter 18 Change the world
1: There is a chicken man who is worth five now; one chicken mother who is worth three; three chicken chicks are worth one. Today, there are hundreds of chickens. Ask the chicken man who is worth five now. What are the chicken man who is worth three?
2: Does the sky have its head? Where is it? Does the sky have its ears? Does the sky have its foot? Does the sky have its surname?
3: It is better not to say it if people say it to others. It is better not to say it if people say it to others. Please ask for the second couplet.
4: Go up and lower the head, go up and lower the head, go up and down the head, go up and down the middle, and go up the two ends. Type a letter.
5:...
6:...
7:...
8:...
These are the eight questions asked by the eight strategists. Zuo Xiaoyou took a look and gave the answer, and then asked the messenger to send it back to Luoyang.
A few days later, Yuan Shao and eight major advisers gathered together and took out the answers given by Zuo Xiaoyou. After circulating them, they all fell silent.
1: Answer 1: Buy twelve chickens, four chickens, and eighty-four chickens;
Answer 2: Buy chickens eight, chicken mother eleven, chicken chicks eighty-one;
Answer 3: Buy chicken four, chicken mother eighteen, chicken chick seventy-eight.
2: There is. In the West. The poem says: "I am looking at the West." It is recommended by this, and the head is in the West.
There is. The sky is high and the listening is low. The poem says: "The crane sings in the Jiugao, and the sound of the sound is heard in the sky." If it has no ears, how can it be heard?
There is a poem that says: "The sky is difficult, but the son is not the same." If he has no foothold, how can he take it?
There is a surname that is Liu. The emperor's surname is Liu, so he knows this based on this.
3: It is better not to ignore the official management than to manage the official management
4: To.
(Omitted later, in short, the answer is coming, and everyone is amazed.)
"Oh!" Yuan Shao's eight major advisers sighed: "Zuo Xiaoyou is indeed better than us."
Since then, all the eight great strategists have been convinced, and I don’t know who spread this matter, which has led to Zuo Xiaoyou’s reputation once again. At least among the literati, Zuo Xiaoyou’s reputation has become even higher.
As for Zuo Xiaoyou's answer to the Tian surname Liu, Yuan Shao couldn't help but send a letter to ask: How can you say the Tian surname Liu? If you say the Tian surname Liu, how can I replace him? Balabala...
Zuo Xiaoyou replied: Four hundred years ago, the surname of Tian was Ying; thousands of years ago, the surname of Tian was Ji.
After reading the reply, Yuan Shao laughed and never got entangled.
...
Since the first batch of graduates graduated, a large number of talents have injected fresh vitality into Jingzhou. These graduates have put the skills they have learned in school into the school, further filling the talent needs in Jingzhou, and played a positive role in the construction of Jingzhou. Perhaps there will be no changes within one or two years, but in another five or ten years, as graduates continue to generate, they will definitely change from quantitative change to qualitatively, but this takes time, Zuo Xiaoyou still needs enough patience.
But at this time, Yuan Shao couldn't hold back any longer.
If today, those who cede land and become kings are honestly coming to the capital to take hostages, and officials from all walks of life have basically been replaced by former officials of the Yuan family, so Yuan Shao couldn't wait to ascend the throne and become emperor.
However, changing dynasties is not about playing houses, and the risks are difficult to control. Moreover, the four hundred years of Han Dynasty, officials and people agreed with the Liu people. If Yuan Shao hurriedly forced the young emperor to abdicate and give in to the wise, it would leave a verbal statement.
After discussing with Yuan Shao's eight great strategists, they felt that the time might not be ripe. At this time, there were still a large number of old men from the royalists. These old men had no other names, but had seniority and reputation, and had great influence. If Yuan Shao dared to touch them, the influence of these old men would probably have a great impact on the stability of the world.
But Yuan Shao is already over forty years old. In this world where the average life expectancy is in the early 30s, Yuan Shao felt that he would get old if he waited, so he must ascend the throne as soon as possible. This made the eight great strategists embarrassed, and there was no way, so he had to contact the ministers to persuade him to enter.
Although there were some royalists in the court, they were all famous and unreal. The power was always in the hands of Yuan Shao. More than 90% of the court were Yuan Shao's people, so it was feasible for the ministers to persuade him to advance, so Yuan Shao agreed.
However, when the court first persuaded him to enter, he was severely rebuked by less than 10% of the royalists. The ministers who scolded Yuan Shao were traitors and asked Yuan Shao to kill him to serve as a warning.
Yuan Shao was so angry that he returned home and slashed with a sword: "These old guys, I must kill them!"
After venting his anger, Yuan Shao felt that it was useless to just lose his temper and things had to be resolved, so he summoned eight major advisers again to ask them to come up with ideas.
The eight major strategists also sighed. They all said that the time is not yet ripe and Yuan Shao was a little too anxious, but as a minister, he should share his worries for the master. But the situation is indeed not good now. Some stubborn royalists will take at least five or six years to clean them up. So after thinking deeply, the eight major strategists advised Yuan Shao to wait a little longer and let Yuan Shao clean these people for five or six years before changing the dynasty.
But Yuan Shao has a stubborn temper, especially now, when the world is basically in his hands, his arrogant nature has been revealed: "No! This general must ascend the throne within two places! You all think about it carefully!"
The eight major strategists smiled bitterly. We have been thinking about it for many days, and there is really no safe way!
Seeing that his eight major strategists had no idea, Yuan Shao sighed: "It seems that this general can only ask Xiaoyou for help."
The eight great strategists were silent.
Are you willing? Not willing. But what can I do? They just have no choice. Yuan Shao went to Zuo Xiaoyou to ask for a solution. What can they do? But deep down, they also wanted to see what Zuo Xiaoyou could do in this situation to help Yuan Shao take the throne?
If Zuo Xiaoyou had effective methods in this way, they... would admit that Zuo Xiaoyou was indeed the world's number one adviser.
So a few days later, Zuo Xiaoyou received a secret letter from Luoyang.
After reading the contents of the secret letter, Zuo Xiaoyou smiled faintly and replied with eight words: "Power the emperor and benevolent to the people." Perhaps it was not clear enough to say this, Zuo Xiaoyou simply wrote a plain sentence: "Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world."
A few days later, Yuan Shao received a reply from Zuo Xiaoyou and suddenly remembered what Zuo Xiaoyou said: You are the boat, and the people are the water; water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn the boat.
Looking back on the Yellow Turban Rebellion that almost overthrew the Han Dynasty twenty years ago, Yuan Shao became more and more aware of the importance of the people's hearts.
"Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, and those who win the hearts of the people will win the world..." Yuan Shao murmured this sentence, his eyes becoming more and more firm.
In the following months, Yuan Shao continued to penetrate the people, leaving the people with a wise and amiable image. On the other hand, Yuan Shao continued to suppress the royalist party, constantly exposing the ugly things they had done one by one, and then posted these things everywhere in big-character posters, so that the people of the world knew the ugly faces of these people.
In short, it is to make these people bad, so that the people who talk about these people are spitting at each other, and directly let the people behind the royalists automatically draw boundaries with these people, so as not to hurt themselves.
In this way, the royalists stinked the streets in just three or four months. When people walked on the road, they threw stinking eggs, but no one cared about it. Seeing the people's indignation, no one dared to care.
In this way, Yuan Shao took just four months to destroy all the royalists into the eighteen levels of hell. At the same time, the ministers persuaded them to enter again.
This time, there was no voice of opposition in the royalist court. However, when the young emperor saw that everyone wanted him to abdicate and give in to the wise, he was angry and anxious. In the end, he burst into tears and said that the world belongs to the Liu family and cannot be cut off in his hands.
This angered the military officers. Yan Liang, who was irritable, pulled the little emperor up and stared at the little emperor with his big bull eyes like a light bulb: "Do you dare not retreat! Believe it or not, I chopped your head into a chamber pot!?"
Although the little emperor was afraid of death, he cried and shook his head and refused. He would rather be chopped into a chamber pot than to destroy the Liu family's country in his hands.
When Yuan Shao saw that the first time was not good, he temporarily gave up this opportunity. But it doesn't matter. The routine of the ministers persuading him to advance was only three times. For example, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei became the governor of Xuzhou, and he reluctantly agreed after three times of persuasion. In fact, that was not Liu Bei's benevolent and righteousness, but it was just a routine of that era.
For example, later Cao Pi forced Emperor Xian of Han to abdicate and give in to the wise, and it was completed after three persuasions from the ministers. Can you say that Cao Pi is arbitrary? It's impossible! It's just a routine, and Yuan Shao is the same this time.
After the first failure, Yuan Shao didn't care, but he just forced himself to the little emperor even more. For example, if you don't agree, I will kill the people around you, so that your ancestors will not end well for 18 generations, etc. In this case, the second time the ministers persuaded him to advance, the little emperor let go, but in order to complete the three persuasions, Yuan Shao took the initiative to say that he was not talented and embarrassed his great responsibility, and refused.
Then after a few days of preparation, the ministers persuaded them for the third time. This time, the young emperor also advised them, and Yuan Shao "ruo" agreed. In this way, the procedure for changing dynasties was completed. After that, only a zodiac day was selected and a platform for abdication and appointing the wise men, and the new king ascended the throne, Yuan Shao could officially replace the Han Dynasty and become the new lord of the world.
Changing dynasties is a big deal. Yuan Shao wanted to do a grand ceremony and wanted certain specific people to see his glorious moment of ascending the throne and becoming emperor with his own eyes. So Cao Cao, who was conquering the Western Regions, received an invitation letter, and Zuo Xiaoyou also received an invitation letter.
This news also informed the people of the world through big-character posters. After several months of deep-seated among the people and establishing an image, Yuan Shao made his reputation among the people very high. Almost everyone in the world was excited, believing that the world was about to usher in a good emperor, an emperor who truly loved them, such as the common people.
In this way, in 200 AD, in March when spring was in full bloom, Zuo Xiaoyou returned to Nanpi Hou Mansion in Luoyang with his family, but the sign of the Hou Mansion was soon changed. As a minister of the dragon, Zuo Xiaoyou had already obtained Yuan Shao's guarantee that as Yuan Shao ascended the throne and became emperor, he would also have a rise in the water and a duke would not be able to escape. From now on, it would no longer be Nanpi Hou, but Nanpi Hou.
For Diao Chan and Zhen Mi, this is of course a great joy for the glory of the clan, but for Zuo Xiaoyou and Saeko Mushima, this is not a big deal. So when Diao Chan and Zhen Mi returned to the Nanpi Hou Mansion, they kept setting this and that. Zuo Xiaoyou and Saeko Mushima just smiled and were happy.
But on the other hand, Yan was a little uneasy. In the past, Zuo Xiaoyou and the others were not in Luoyang, and occasionally went to Beijing to report their duties several times. Zuo Xiaoyou stayed in the mansion for a short time, which led to the large Nanpi Hou Mansion that Yan was almost in charge of Yan.
In Yan's heart, Nanpi Hou's Mansion was her home. But now, with the arrival of Saeko, Diao Chan and Zhen Mi, Yan did not see his daughter and always felt that she was about to be abandoned.
"Sir, why didn't Lingqi come back?" Yan couldn't help asking while having supper.
Zuo Xiaoyou looked at the nervous Yan family and said, "I have recommended Lingqi to join the Bingzhou Army. At this time, Lingqi is on the border of Bingzhou and guarding our territory of the Han Dynasty."
Smack
Yan's pair of chopsticks fell to the ground and his whole body froze.
"Don't worry." Zuo Xiaoyou comforted: "Lingqi is very skilled in martial arts, and my students are also taking care of her in Bingzhou. I believe she will be able to break out of her own world soon. When Lingqi becomes my female flying general in the Han Dynasty, you, as her mother, have your own glory, why not do it?"
Two years ago, the fifteen-year-old Lu Lingqi graduated from girls' school, and then entered the Jingzhou army to train under the arrangement of Zuo Xiaoyou. After a year of military career, the sixteen-year-old Lu Lingqi became the second general in the Jingzhou army, and the first general was Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng, who had just entered the old age. After a year of military career, coupled with Huang Zhong's guidance, Lu Lingqi's martial arts finally broke through the bottleneck and entered the realm of first-class generals.
Because there was almost no war in Jingzhou, it would be meaningless if Lu Lingqi stayed there. So at Lu Lingqi's strong request, Zuo Xiaoyou wrote an introduction letter to Lu Lingqi and asked him to go to Bingzhou.
Zuo Xiaoyou taught many students in Nanpi, some of whom went to Bingzhou. Now they also hold important positions in Bingzhou, and there are also students from Zuo Xiaoyou in the army. Lu Lingqi took letters to join Zuo Xiaoyou's students in Bingzhou army.
It was after the Spring Festival that time, Lu Lingqi went back to Luoyang to celebrate the New Year with Yan. After the fifteenth anniversary, she went to Bingzhou alone. No news has been heard back so far.
Yan thought that Lu Lingqi had returned to Jingzhou at that time, but she didn't expect her daughter to be in Bingzhou. When she heard the news, she felt like she was struck by lightning, and her body and mind were trembling.
As Lu Bu's wife, Yan knew how dangerous it was on the battlefield. The general was inevitably killed. Even if his martial arts were like Lu Bu, he was still stabbed to death by Zuo Xiaoyou in Hulao Pass!
How many generals can have a good ending in each dynasty and generation?
Not to mention a woman named Lu Lingqi.
Today, only Lu Lingqi is related to Yan's family. What if Lu Lingqi dies?
Seeing Yan's worried and anxious look, Diao Chan, who had the best relationship with Lu Lingqi, spoke up to comfort him. As his wife, Saeko Mushima also comforted Yan gently, and at the same time gave a wink at Zuo Xiaoyou.
