Chapter 52 Wu Qin Xi and Tai Chi
Cao Chong also knew the sorrow in Xun's heart.
In fact, many people know it.
Cao Chong knew, Cao Pi knew, Xun Yun knew, and Xun You knew.
Even Cao Cao knew about this.
And in later generations, Xun died because of this.
In the 17th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao wanted to be promoted to the title of Duke of the Kingdom and granted Jiuxi (Jiuxi was the nine rewards of ancient emperors to ministers, including chariots, horses, clothes, musical instruments, warriors, bows and arrows, etc., which was the highest courtesy to ministers).
Xun believed that: "(Cao Cao) originally promoted the righteous army to safeguard the Ning Kingdom, uphold the sincerity of loyalty and concessions; a gentleman loves his people with virtue, so it is not appropriate to do so." Therefore, he angered Cao Cao.
In the same year, Cao Cao conquered Sun Quan and asked Xun to go to Qiao County to work hard. After Xun arrived, Cao Cao took the opportunity to keep him in the army. He was appointed Xun as the chief minister, Guanglu Dafu, and was responsible for the military affairs of the prime minister. Cao Cao's army arrived in Ruxu, and Xun stayed in Shouchun due to illness and died of worry soon. He was fifty years old and was posthumously named Jinghou.
Regarding Xun's death, there is also a saying in history books: Cao Cao gave Xun food at that time. Xun opened the food utensil, but saw that there was nothing in it, so he was forced to commit suicide by taking poison.
That is, there is no fruit in the box, please pick it yourself (cut it).
Of course, these are all stories from later generations. At this time, because Cao Cao's power was too great, and he had the reputation and contribution of unifying the world, even when he was promoted to the King of Wei, Xun did not stop him on the surface, but was just melancholy and depressed in his heart.
The reason why Xun did not stop it on the surface was naturally because Cao Cao made the cake bigger, and Cao Cao had such a contribution, which was enough to be the king.
In later generations, Xun was stopped by Xun because Cao Cao wanted to advance to Duke Wei after his defeat in Chibi.
You didn't make a lot of money on your territory, and the cake wasn't big, so you just wanted to eat it?
No way!
Of course, these are all guesses in Cao Chong's mind. As for Xun's real thoughts, Cao Chong is not easy to guess.
Xun was loyal and Cao Cao, and also loyal and Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of Han.
Cao Cao had to repay him for his kindness of knowing him, and Emperor Xian of Han, or the Han Dynasty, was his sustenance in his heart and the old intellectuals of this era.
Before Cao Cao's ambitions expanded, his thoughts were similar to Xun, but power is the most corrosive of people's hearts, no matter whether you are a hero or a bear.
Cao Cao no longer wants to be a talented person in charge of government affairs.
He has to hold power in his hand.
This is different from the restoration of the Han Dynasty in Xun's heart.
Conflict of interest can reorganize interests, and at least you can give up interests, but the dispute between ideas and beliefs cannot be given up.
Even if Xun wants to give up, he can’t give up.
If Xun gave up his ideas, it would be like a person who lost his soul, and his belief would be even more serious than taking his life.
But what can you do if you don’t give up?
Blatantly objected?
Or a coup?
Xun was confused. At this time, even though he was the talent of Wang Zuo, even if he had been in charge of Shangshutai for more than ten years, and the people recommended by him were spread throughout the center and local counties, he was still confused.
Because of confusion, because of confusion, because of at a loss.
So Xun lives in trouble all day long.
He was struggling between restoring the Han Dynasty and serving Cao Cao.
When Cao Chong saw Xun who looked like this, he sighed in his heart. If such a famous scholar withered, it would be the loss of this era.
But even if I don’t want Xun to die, can I stop all this?
Cao Chong asked himself back and shook his head quickly.
Even though he now holds a lot of power in the court, he is still like a child who is learning to speak with Xun and Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was originally the king of this place, while Xun controlled the Shangshutai for more than ten years, and the two were incomparable.
If Xun had not been too powerful, Cao Cao would not have brought Xun with him when he attacked Ruxukou and cut off the power in his hands.
Thoughts flew in his heart, and when Xun saw Cao Chong coming, he temporarily put down his work. He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and said to Cao Chong: "Let me see you today."
Xun's words had no doubts and were as if he was stating a fact, but Cao Chong didn't know how to answer the conversation.
So Cao Chong found a topic to talk about.
"Lingjun, the fist you just hit is "Five Animals Play"?"
Hey~
Xun sighed, and there was a look of curiosity on his eyebrows and eyes.
"Why, Cang Shu, have you heard of this health preservation method?"
Cao Chong nodded.
This is a good thing that can prolong your life, how could Cao Chong not know?
"Cang Shu had heard of these five animal dramas before, but did Hua Tuo tell me?"
Xun shook his head and said, "It was a friend who sent me a gift. I don't know if it was Hua Tuo's work. If I had time, I would ask that friend, but he is not in Yecheng now."
Friend, aren't in Yecheng?
Cao Chong was stunned, and a shadow of a person appeared in his heart.
Sima Yi!
By the way, this gentleman relied on his tenacious life to endure three generations of people in his previous life.
It's really terrifying!
It is rumored that the reason why Sima Yi lived so long was because of the Five Animal Show.
To be honest, Cao Chong also wants to practice these five animal dramas. After all, living longer is always much better than living shorter than yours.
"I don't know if I can learn?"
Seeing Cao Chong wanting to learn this set of boxing, Xun smiled on his face.
"If you want to learn, I will teach you naturally, but I don't have much time today, so why not another day."
Cao Chong nodded, but did not let Xun go out. He bowed to Xun and said, "Lingjun, I really want to hide it. I also have a set of boxing techniques called Tai Chi, which also has health-preserving effects. Now I will give Lingjun another set."
Cao Chong really wanted Xun to live longer, after all, Xun was kind to him when he spoke.
He is not the kind of eldest son theory.
Originally, Cao Chong wanted to have a set of times that were summoned, but after thinking about it, he felt a little shy, so Cao Chong decided to practice Tai Chi.
As long as the Five Animal Play and Tai Chi are not artificial, they will not die suddenly, right?
So in front of Xun, Cao Chong seriously produced a set of Tai Chi.
Xun originally had no hope for what Cao Chong said about Tai Chi, but after Cao Chong finished playing a set of Tai Chi, Xun found some advantages from it.
For example... handsome...
Yes, people who practice Tai Chi are very elegant, which is incomparable to the Wuqin Opera.
So Xun nodded after pondering for a moment.
"Then you come to my house on my holiday, and you and I will discuss with each other, how about it?"
Cao Chong was delighted and nodded with a smile.
He came this time to establish a good relationship with Xun.
Now, because of Tai Chi and Wuqin Play, I can give myself more time to contact Xun, which also means that I can have more opportunities to establish a relationship with Xun and then get Xun’s support.
This is definitely a good thing and a good start for Cao Chong.
