Except for Cao Cao, probably no one present could answer the question.
Even Cao Cao could only give a vague answer, not an accurate one.
Cao Pi, who was standing beside him, looked up at He Yan with a confused look on his face, as if asking: "Weren't we still discussing the daughter-in-law just now? Why did you suddenly become a sage?"
He Yan, who felt Cao Pi's gaze, nodded slightly and responded to him with his eyes: "Sages can also go to women's houses!"
Not only can you go, you can go multiple times!
…
After He Yan finished answering, Cao Pi was so groggy that he even forgot when the family banquet ended and how he returned to his residence.
The word "sage" seemed to have infinite magic power that made him addicted to it, making him unable to extricate himself.
But faced with these two words, Cao Pi was like a eunuch who touched Li Chun Yuan - he was powerless.
It was clearly visible and tangible, but there was still no way to get in. It really made him feel anxious.
"Sage?"
After thinking hard all night, Cao Pi had no answer, so he had no choice but to wait until Jia Xu came to teach the next day to ask him for advice.
"Sage?"
Jia Xu also lost consciousness after hearing these two words.
"May I ask Mr. Pi, what else does Marquis Shen think?"
"He also said..."
Cao Pi looked at Jia Xu with a little fear: "He also asked teacher, don't mislead others. If you don't know how to teach, don't teach. He asked me to go with him to work in the newly built Xiangxu."
"Huh? Marquis Shen actually invited Mr. Pi to work with him?"
To Cao Pi's surprise, Jia Xu was not angry. Instead, he pondered for a while and then began to pack up the books in front of him and prepare to leave.
"Where are you going, teacher?"
Jia Xu stood up from the ground and asked Cao Pi to resign: "Marquis Shen is right. As long as he is here, I will really mislead the disciples if I continue to teach Master Pi."
"Since Marquis Shen is willing to teach Master Pi, then Master Pi should stay with Marquis Shen for a while."
Cao Pi:???
"No, teacher!"
Cao Pi thought that Jia Xu was talking angrily: "Teacher, don't be like He Yan. He is very arrogant. At worst, I will beat him up in two days to vent my anger on Teacher!"
"No."
Jia Xu shook his head and denied Cao Pi's approach: "I have been busy with government affairs before, but I have never studied this new subject in detail. Now it seems that I have been careless and despised it."
"Master Pi, please remember my words from now on."
"Teacher, please speak."
Jia Xu paused and then told Cao Pi: "Three generations have passed for so long that no one knows what happened at that time."
"But since the Qin Dynasty, every major and important event has been recorded in the annals of history to warn future generations."
"Future generations often learn from history, look for answers from their ancestors, solve difficulties, and live up to the wishes of their ancestors."
"But...it is new every day, every day."
"It is impossible for future generations to always find the answer from history books. Otherwise, how could sages such as Laozi and Confucius establish doctrines and educate the world? How could such talented and powerful emperors as Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Guangwu unify the troubled times and restore order?"
"Especially since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world is no longer the same world."
When Jia Xu mentioned the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there was a hint of fear and excitement in his words.
"The Yellow Turban Rebellion is unprecedented. It is the largest and most special turmoil in history."
"This turmoil is nominally over, but in fact it is far from over."
By this time, Jia Xu was not only preaching to Cao Pi, but also speaking to himself——
"All those who survived are learning the lessons from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, just like Emperor Guangwu learned from the Wang Mang Rebellion, hoping to establish a new set of order rules after learning the lessons."
"There is progress ahead, Dong Zhuo, and behind us Sikong, Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei. They are all exploring and practicing it step by step in their own way."
"In the process of their practice, countless like-minded people gathered around them, such as Xun Yu and Chen Qun around Sikong, Guo Tu and Ju Shou around Yuan Shao, and Guan Yu around Liu Bei..."
Jia Xu slowly came back to his senses and said to Cao Pi: "This is what Marquis Shen meant by 'What exactly is Mr. Pi going to do?'"
"As long as Mr. Pi can truly find a way forward in this troubled world, countless people will naturally be attracted by Mr. Pi, gather around him, and become his support."
"On the contrary, he will become someone who covets Sikong's relics...and Sikong will definitely not like such a person, and Marquis Shen will not come to help Master Pi."
Cao Pi's mouth went dry after hearing this, and after a while he asked: "But teacher, what are the lessons of the Yellow Turban Rebellion?"
Jia Xu shook his head: "Everyone learns different lessons from it. Mr. Pi needs to find it himself."
"Just like Sikong got the lesson of "overlord" from it, Yuan Shao got the lesson of "king" from it, Liu Bei got the lesson of "benevolence and righteousness" from it, and even the young Marquis Shen got the lesson of "sage" from it.
lesson……"
"What you get in the end depends on Mr. Pi himself. There is nothing I can do about this."
Cao Pi closed his eyes and tried to digest Jia Xu's words in his mind.
Suddenly, Cao Pi opened his eyes and asked Jia Xu: "What did the teacher get from the Yellow Turban Rebellion?"
Jia Xu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"Master Pi, the gap between what I have gained and what they have gained is too big. If I told you, it would be like "misleading people" as Marquis Shen said."
After saying this, Jia Xu also knew that it was time to leave.
"If Mr. Pi cannot experience Sikong's "overlord", it would be a good idea to follow Marquis Shen to experience his "sage"."
"No matter what, their goals are always the same. This is why Sikong, Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei cherish each other, and at the same time, they also take good care of Marquis Shen."
Jia Xu stood up and saluted Cao Pi: "Although I have only taught Mr. Pi for a few months, I can still feel that Mr. Pi is extremely intelligent and a benevolent master. I hope that Mr. Pi will not forget his original intention and can inherit Sikong. Please be careful."
Hou Zhizhi truly completed the method of governing prosperity for all generations."
"Thank you, teacher, for the tip."
Cao Pi returned the gift to Jia Xu sincerely.
But when Cao Pi returned all the gifts, he realized something -
What does "inheriting the ambition of Sikong and Marquis Shen" mean?
When did He Yan become equal to Cao Cao?
According to what Jia Xu said, wouldn't he be a generation shorter than He Yan?
Or is it that even his teacher Jia Xu doesn't think his achievements can surpass Cao Cao's, so why Yan and the others?
Cao Pi:......
At this moment, Cao Pi felt unprecedented loneliness and malice in this world.
