Chapter 49 Sin and the Five Tribes
Zhou Qi couldn't help but smile knowingly when he saw Cao Cao being so eager.
Follow Cao Cao's path and leave Cao Cao with nowhere to go.
Copying Cao Cao's poems left Cao Cao with no poems to compose.
I have to say that occasionally engaging in some bad fun will make Zhou Qi feel a little relaxed and comfortable in this depressing era.
Although the current Cao Cao is far less accomplished in literature than he was in his middle and later years because he does not like to read classics, he has read all kinds of miscellaneous studies, military books, and history books, and he is also full of talent and learning, but he has not yet reached the point where quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.
Just to the extent.
In addition, this poem is very consistent with Cao Cao's current situation, and it was written by him in the future, so he was shocked and felt so urgent.
Zhou Qi drank all the wine in the cup and said: "Today we are drinking and feasting. We don't need to say much else, so I will only write half of the poem!"
"If you are lucky enough to have a drink with Brother Meng De next time, I will definitely complete the follow-up!"
I have to say that Zhou Qi is a little evil.
He first occupied the beginning of the poem "Dan Ge Xing". In the future, even if Cao Cao became popular in poetry and wanted to write it, he would think that he was influenced by Zhou Qi.
As for why I didn’t write the following verses, it’s because it’s not appropriate.
The general meaning of the previous paragraph is: Sing loudly in front of the wine, life is short and the days and months are fleeting. Just like the morning dew, it is fleeting, and there are too many lost days! The singing at the banquet is passionate and generous, and the melancholy fills the heart for a long time. What do you rely on?
To relieve depression? Only binge drinking can relieve you.
These contents are more in line with the current situation and the current state of mind of Zhou Qi and Cao Cao.
However, the content in the middle about the thirst for talents and the domineering content contained in the last sentence "The Duke of Zhou spits out nourishment and the world returns to its heart" are not suitable for description now.
Today's Zhou Qi is not qualified to write the second half of the poem.
The banquet lasted for a long time, and everyone was drunk in the end. Only Zhou Qi relied on the training of later high-alcohol liquor, but he was still a little clear-headed.
It wasn't until night that everyone gradually woke up.
That night, Cao Cao sneaked into Zhou Qi's bedroom, and the two fell asleep together, chatting and expressing their feelings to each other.
Zhou Qi marveled at Cao Cao's extraordinary magnanimity and was deeply impressed by the future hero's mind. Being able to feel the hero's majesty at such a close distance made Zhou Qi's heart surge.
Cao Cao was also intoxicated by Zhou Qi's profound knowledge. It seemed that Zhou Qi could talk eloquently about any aspect of knowledge.
This made Cao Cao, who boasted that he had read all kinds of books and felt that he was knowledgeable, a little ashamed of himself, and he fell in love with Zhou Qi even more.
Until late at night, the two of them were still in high spirits and did not feel sleepy at all.
Cao Cao suddenly asked: "What are Ziyi's ambitions?"
Zhou Qi was silent for a long time after hearing this and did not answer directly. Instead, looking at the flickering light of the candlelight and looking at Cao Cao's still excited and slightly flushed face, he asked: "Brother Meng De, what is your ambition?"
Cao Cao did not expect that Zhou Qi would actually question him. After hesitating for a while, he said firmly: "I want to get rid of the evils, clean up the traitors in the court, and conquer the rebellious feudal princes for the country. After a hundred years, I hope that the tombstone can be engraved with the words 'Han's story'
The tomb of Cao Hou, the general who conquered the West'."
Zhou Qi stared into Cao Cao's eyes, not seeing any dodge in them, but full of determination and hope.
He couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
As expected, Cao Cao was full of patriotism at the beginning and was not yet the future hero.
It can also be seen from Cao Cao's actions in history that Cao Cao was indeed loyal to the Han Dynasty at first and wanted to make achievements. However, the world collapsed, the generals were wiped out, and the majesty of the court disappeared. As a result, the princes joined forces, and in the end he could only be the traitor.<
/p>
In fact, let alone Cao Cao, anyone sitting in Cao Cao's position may not do better than him.
It is said that times make heroes.
Cao Cao has reached that position. Whether it is the ambition hidden in his heart or the ministers who follow him to conquer the world, they will push Cao Cao to continue to move up.
If he stops and really wants to return power to the emperor, those Cao Cao's most loyal subordinates will be the biggest stumbling block.
The emperor he returned to power might also raise a butcher's knife against him.
When people are in the arena, they can’t help themselves.
Especially for such powerful ministers, they will either continue to expand their rights, or they will die.
"Hey!"
Thinking of this, Zhou Qi couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Cao Cao looked at Zhou Qi strangely and asked, "Why did Ziyi sigh?"
Zhou Qi did not answer directly, but asked instead: "Brother wants to correct his ills, but do you know what the ills of the Han Dynasty are?"
Zhou Qi originally did not plan to discuss this topic with Cao Cao, but was moved by Cao Cao's current innocence and could not hold back after all, and asked the most acute question at the moment.
Cao Cao pondered for a long time and replied: "The cause of the chaos probably started with Emperor Huan. The late emperor banned good people and favored eunuchs, so that traitors and sycophants were in power and loyal people were wronged."
"When today's emperor is in power, his methods are still excessive. Cao Jie, Wang Fu, Zhao Zhong and others have wielded power and made slanderous remarks, which has made the disaster of the party's imprisonment more serious. Your Majesty has ordered a nationwide purge and punished party members. The crimes have affected the five ethnic groups and countless people.
Scholars were forced to flee, and more than 700 people died from persecution, and countless more were imprisoned and unable to engage in politics."
Zhou Qi was also a little shocked when he heard this.
In his previous life, he did know a lot of historical materials about the disaster caused by the Party's imprisonment through historical records, but he only looked at the problem from God's perspective and did not empathize with it.
But when I heard the word "crimes against the five tribes" from Cao Cao's mouth, I felt a little chill down my spine.
The Zhu San clan refers to the family to which the parents belong, the family to which the children belong, and the family to which the grandson belongs. The Zhu Wu clan is based on the three clans, plus the wife clan and mother clan.
Today's enhanced version of the party's scourge will not kill the five races, but it will offend the five races.
According to the current social situation, when aristocratic families marry each other, the scourge of the party and the five clans will be very terrifying.
For example, if a party member is guilty, if his two sons marry the daughters of two other aristocratic families, and his two daughters marry the other two aristocratic families, and have two grandsons and granddaughters respectively, then just because one person
This crime may implicate ten families.
Don't think it's an exaggeration. It's very common for aristocratic families to marry each other. If it's a prosperous family, more people may be affected.
I just want to ask you, are you ruthless?
When I do this today, I obviously want to completely trample the noble family under my feet. If I really take it seriously, maybe all the great families in the world will be implicated.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qi couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine.
To this extent, the world's aristocratic families have not yet rebelled, and it must be said that the Han Dynasty is indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
It’s no wonder that many scholars wanted to cut off Cao Jie even if they risked their lives. Wang Fu and other eunuchs begged the emperor to lift the scourge of party imprisonment today.
