Kong Rong looked puzzled, even if he gave pears to his elder brother and younger brother at the age of four, what does it have to do with the wrong lips?
Cao Cao and his ministers have never heard of the allusion of "Rong is four years old and can make pears".
It's just that it seems to be praising Kong Rong to bring it up now. Does it really help the situation?
Cao Pi shook his head, "The fifth younger brother is only 15 years old after all, and he is good at debate. How can he be the opponent of the 55-year-old Kong Shaofu?"
Thinking of this, Cao Pi was secretly delighted.
Kong Rong was puzzled.
Cao Xiong continued to ask: "When your father asked you 'Why did you pick the smallest pear', how did Young Master Kong answer?"
Kong Rong laughed out loud. He thought that the fifth son was going to ask such a tricky question, but he didn't expect to mention a good story about himself.
"My answer is: I am young, so I should eat the small pears, and give the remaining big pears to my brothers!"
It’s not that Kong Rong’s remark is still fresh in his memory, it’s actually passed down in Qufu, Shandong, and every child is reciting the story of Kong Rong’s giving pears.
Cao Xiong scratched his head: "I still remember, your father then asked: 'The younger brother is younger than you? Why didn't you give him a small pear?' How did Young Master Kong answer?"
Kong Rong smiled again: "My answer is: 'I am an elder brother, I am older than my younger brother, I should eat the younger ones!'"
Cao Xiong clapped his hands, "That's right! Your father asked the same question, why you eat small pears, and your answer was first 'you should eat small pears when you are young' and 'you should eat small pears when you are old'. Isn't it just inconsistent, don't match the horse's lips?"
Cao Cao was taken aback!
The well-behaved Kong Rong made pears, but he let the fifth son Cao Xiong say some nonsense!
Although it is not very rigorous, if you want to judge, it is not unreasonable.
The same question, you, Kong Rong, first answered that you were young, and then you answered that you were old!It's also inconsistent, the donkey's lip is wrong with the horse's mouth!
Civil servants and generals of Cao Cao's forces applauded.
He secretly praised in his heart: "These five sons are really good!"
Kong Rong couldn't tell that he was sophistry. This Cao Xiong completely dismembered the story about him making pears, leaving only the unfavorable things for Kong Rong.
Just when I wanted to refute, I found out that the civil servants and military generals of Cao Cao's forces in the conference hall slandered him unceremoniously!
Only then did Kong Rong understand that Cao Xiong was arguing with him alone. Behind him stood all the civil servants and generals of the entire Cao Cao force.
As long as he can pull out a little reason, I am afraid that these civil servants and military generals will also applaud.
How can Kong Rong, a mere man, compete with all the civil servants and generals of Cao Cao's forces?
Thinking of this, Kong Rong felt very aggrieved, because he was defeated by a 15-year-old child!
"Young Master Kong, if you are not convinced, I will say one more thing."
Cao Xiong said so.
Cao Cao and the officials were all in high spirits.They were looking forward to Cao Xiong's sophistry.
Kong Rong snorted and said, "I walk upright and sit upright. How can you ruin my reputation?"
Cao Xiong smiled slightly, "It might be!"
In words, he is very confident.
"I heard that when Young Master Kong's mansion was serving as Prime Minister of Beihai, he met a man who was crying at the graveside of his dead father on the road! His face was not haggard at all! How did Young Master Kong's mansion deal with it!" Cao Xiong asked.
"The person who pretends to cry at the grave should be killed!" Kong Rong didn't intend to deliberately conceal it, since he did it, he was not afraid to admit it.
As soon as Cao Xiong changed his playful tone, his style of painting changed, and his tone suddenly became sharp:
"In the first year of Jian'an, Beihai was captured and your father died in it. Did you look haggard? Did you cry about your dead father?"
This question surprised Kong Rong!
At that time, Kong Rong's Beihai City was captured, how could he have the time to cry the grave?Sa Yazi ran away!
Haggard?A joke, even if you are haggard, you are also haggard running along the road!
Life is almost lost, filial piety?Even the descendants of Confucius, he has no time to worry about it, right?
Chapter 80
Facing this question, Kong Rong was silent.
Because no matter how you answer it, this is a trap!Cao Xiong will definitely compare him with the Grave Cryer who was killed by him!
Whenever Cao Xiong said a little bit of truth, the civil servants and generals of the Cao Cao Group would respond one after another!
Kong Rong, no matter what, is bound to lose!
Kong Rong shook his head vigorously. Until then, he regretted being such an early bird.
"Fifth Young Master, you are really tall!"
Kong Rong murmured the last sentence, took off the crown, put it on the ground, and left angrily.
As soon as he left, there was endless laughter in the meeting hall.
This group of generals hated these sour Confucian scholars who only knew how to dance and write, but they always couldn't speak against them in the hall.
Now that Cao Xiong helped them out, they were naturally very happy.
Cao Cao was also grinning, making these literati angry is not an easy task.
Having dealt with them for many years, Cao Cao has a deep understanding.
The chamber was filled with laughter.
Suddenly a voice came out, and as soon as the voice blurted out, everyone fell silent.
Because the speaker is Cao Cao's chief adviser, Xun Yu and Xun Lingjun!
He didn't plan to persuade Cao Cao at the meeting before. The reason was that he openly opposed Cao Cao in this meeting, but actually opposed the entire Cao Cao group's civil servants and generals.
But Kong Rong left in dismay, with an unhappy expression on his face.
Xun Yu always respected Kong Rong.Unexpectedly, he couldn't hold back, and put forward his views in class, trying to save some face for Kong Rong.
"If it is beneficial to go south to Jingzhou and unify the world, then Cao Sikong will abolish the three princes and implement the system of prime minister, so there is no danger.
But if it is not beneficial to go south to Jingzhou, then Cao Sikong will bear the eternal infamy of bullying the Han Dynasty. "
As expected of Xun Yu and Xun Lingjun!
These words are enough to pour a basin of cold water on the heads of Cao Cao's officials who are full of joy.
Infamy through the ages, if you say you don't care, it must be a lie.
If you don't care about fame, then why did Cao Cao waste so much effort to welcome the emperor over?
Isn't it for the sake of being famous as a teacher?
Xun Yu hit the nail on the head on what Cao Cao cared most about.
Cao Cao was not afraid of losing his reputation, but he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the eternal infamy of future generations.
This is the words of condemnation.
If Kong Rong's resistance was like a gnat shaking a tree, then Xun Yu's words were a barrier that could completely imprison Cao Cao!
No matter how many eloquent talents Cao Cao's forces have, who can guarantee that Cao Cao's future generations will not bear this eternal infamy?
Cao Cao even murmured a little.
It's just that he really wants to take the position of prime minister.
It would be unbearable to give up because of Xun Yu's words.
Unexpectedly, it was that childish and powerful voice that came over again, and all the civil and military officials knew without thinking that the fifth son, Cao Xiong, had spoken again.
"What Xun Lingjun said is so true!"
Uh... what you said... uh... so true?
Fifth son, what happened?Didn't he argue about leaving Kong Rong just now, why did he accidentally stand by Xun Yu's side again?
Where is he from?
It stands to reason that he was the one who wrote the word "Prime Minister", which led to so many things, why did he turn back instead of fighting?
Cao Lin on the side even screamed "Ah".
How good is it now?So many ministers are on your side, all the princes are on your side, Cao Cao is on your side!
Did this Fifth Brother come up with some crazy idea?
Why did he side with Xun Yu instead?
Do you want to ruin this great situation?
Cao Cao stared at the Fifth Young Master Cao Xiong in front of him. He looked relaxed and calm, as if he was talking nonsense without restraint?
This thief boy, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
They don't know that the current actions of the fifth son Cao Xiong are thanks to the guidance of the emperors in the live broadcast room.
Cao Xiong: "Emperors, it's time for you to act.The father wants to be the prime minister, and the courtiers threaten him with eternal infamy, what should we do? 』
Ying Zheng: "What is eternal infamy?Establishing the Great Qin alone, and creating an inexhaustible meritorious service, isn't it also infamous through the ages?Yigu's, just cut it off! 』
Cao Xiong: "I can't cut it down. This Xun Yu's status under Cao Cao is equivalent to Li Si under your subordinates. Are you willing to cut it down?" 』
Ying Zheng: "Li Si is a kid, I just gave him the position of prime minister, so don't waste your brain!" 』
Chapter 81 The Duke Kingdom
Li Shimin: "In my opinion, we have to do the opposite!" 』
Cao Xiong: "How to do the opposite?" 』
Li Shimin: "Xun Yu opposes Cao Cao being prime minister!"However, it is not firm. From this point of view, it must be known that the two benefits are the most important, and the two evils are the least important! 』
Cao Xiong: "Yang Guang, your words are too profound, can you translate them for me?" 』
Yang Guang: "Stupid!That bastard Li Shimin is asking you to speak up and let your father be a prince, a king, and an emperor!Let's see if Xun Yu dares not let go of the position of prime minister! 』
Liu Bang: "All in all, the performance is rogue!" 』
Cao Xiong: "Yang Guang...you are flying like six!" 』
Shutting down the live broadcast room, Cao Xiong had a plan in mind.
That's why the phrase "Xun Lingjun's words are so right!"
Xun Yu looked back at the fifth son Cao Xiong, a little wary, he didn't want to be entangled by the sophistry of the fifth son like Kong Rong.
"Fifth Young Master, do you think the old man's words make sense?"
"That's right, Xun Lingjun's words enlightened me!"
Cao Xiong patted his forehead with his hands, then cupped his hands, and said to Cao Cao: "I think my father really can't be the prime minister..."
Hearing about the chrysanthemum, Xun Yu thought that the fifth son, Cao Xiong, agreed with his idea, and he liked it for a while.
But he didn't want Cao Xiong's next sentence, as if he had poured a basin of ice water on him.
"My son asks my father to make himself king, how about taking the name 'Da Wei'?"
Xun Yu was shocked!
independent?For the king?
Isn't this just talking about the prime minister?What does it have to do with self-reliance?
Cao Cao followed Cao Xiong's words and continued, "Why did Xiong'er say that?"
"If my father is the prime minister, then he is the prime minister of the great man. Going south to Jingzhou is also to recover Jingzhou for the great man.
If it was the king, it would be very different. My father now owns Jizhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou, a total of nine states.Going to attack Jingzhou is to open up the territory for our Great Wei. "
