    For the possibility of not being rewarded for his outstanding achievements, Shixun has long been mentally prepared - not to mention "high achievements will shock the lord". Under normal circumstances, the founding hero is not afraid of others being shocked. Shixun just takes advantage of the situation, defeats the few with numbers, and annihilates them.  It was just a Sichuan separatist regime. There was no way it could compare to Cao Cao, who had a rough road and a grassroots foundation. From a young prefect of Dongjun to the lord of the Central Plains.  Of course, Cao Cao can suppress Shixun, but the heir may not be so - let alone Cao Mao, even if he is replaced by Cao Ang, there may not be a chance, not to mention Cao Zixiu has to address Shixun as "son-in-law" - for the sake of the longevity of the country after his death.  Gu, his descendants An Tai, eradicating the heroes in advance, that is what the founding monarchs of the past dynasties often did.  The problem is that if you check the history books, you will find that generally those who massacre are warriors, while it is difficult for civil servants to change the world and they do not need to be ruthless.  Although Liu Bang imprisoned Xiao He for a time, didn't he eventually release him?  Cao Shen's merits were also great, and he was transferred to a civil servant in time, and finally he was able to enjoy his life in peace.  "The one who killed even the civil servants and generals was just the crazy Zhu Chongba. Cao Cao was definitely not the same as him.  First of all, Lao Zhu was born in Ni and had no limits on what he could do. Cao Cao was considered a scholar-bureaucrat after all. He was talented in literature and art, so he had to save some face.  Literary men may not be cruel enough, but generally they only play dirty tricks and try their best to maintain the illusion of innocence - for example, in the original history, Cao Pizhi treated Wang Zhong and Yu Jinye, and it was difficult to judge whether it was true or false when he dealt with Zhang Xiu.  Secondly, Zhu Chongba had a strong desire for power and was completely unwilling to decentralize power to others. He even completely abolished the prime minister's team and made the six ministers directly responsible to the emperor.  Although he later paid a heavy price for his stupidity and arrogance and was forced to set up a cabinet of academicians to assist the emperor, just like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up an inner court to divide the power of the outer dynasty, he still stubbornly refused to admit his mistakes.  It is decreed that future generations will not be allowed to have the prime minister again.  As a result, in the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet had the power of the prime minister but not the honor of the prime minister, the government institutions were inherently deformed, the emperor regarded his ministers as ants, and arbitrary and domineering kings emerged in an endless stream Cao Cao knew how to use people well, but he did not hesitate to decentralize power.  Think back to when you first created a new government structure.  I was once worried that Cao Cao would be unhappy if the monarch's power was too divided. Later, when the Wei Dynasty was established, I was also afraid that Cao Cao would overturn the structure of the principality and kingdom era.  However, unexpectedly, Cao Cao only regained part of the discretion in details.  Generally speaking, I still agree with Shi Xun's plan.  It is estimated that Cao Cao struggled out of the Eastern Han Dynasty bureaucracy. He was well aware of the shortcomings of the old system, so he was willing to change. He could also clearly understand a rigorous bureaucratic structure.  Although it limits the power of the monarch to a certain extent, it also enables the continuation of the country and the eternal stability of the country.  Lao Zhu did not have this vision, because he came from a poor background and spent the first half of his life in grass-roots groups like the Red Turban Army. He had no concept of a reasonable government system at all.  Although Li Shanchang, Song Lian and others assisted, in the end, hearing through hearing was not as impressive as experiencing through experience.  Shixun has indeed led troops and fought in battles, including the expedition to Shu, but these were basically staged qualifications and he has never commanded a troop of troops continuously.  There is no possibility of turning them into private soldiers.  Even if he is a warrior, what should he fear from an empty-headed general?  After Han Xin was demoted to the title of Marquis of Huaiyin, Liu Bang ignored him. In the end, it was a woman who did the evil So in order to protect his descendants, Cao Cao directly arrested Shi Xun and clicked. The possibility is so low that it can be ignored.  Excluding.  However, the possibility of forcibly imprisoning Shi Xun on charges, like Liu Bang's treatment of Xiao He, or demoting Shi Xun, like Zhao Kuangyin's treatment of Zhao Pu, still exists.  And it's quite big - you must know that Lao Cao's suspicion is not lower than that of Liu Ji, and Zhao Da can't catch up even if he flatters him.  Therefore, Shixun had already made up his mind to relieve his military power in time, even resigned from his posts and dispatches, and returned to his hometown to live in seclusion.  At this time, I can still retreat after my success.  It's hard to say what the situation would be like if he stayed in the court for more than ten or twenty years, and how the new king would view himself after he came to power.  But I didn¡¯t expect Cao Cao to act so quickly. Before he could take the initiative to express his position, he deprived himself of his military power and the position of Taiwei.  That's why he was completely confused.  From the effect to the cause, if you think about it carefully now, perhaps Cao Cao had already planned this plan when he appointed himself as the commander-in-chief. The purpose was to remove the influence of a family of important officials in advance for the successor, so that the power could be transferred smoothly.  Shi Xun felt that Cao Cao's death was running out, so he couldn't wait to blame himself - otherwise, why don't you wait until I return to Luoyang first?  I have to admit that at a certain moment, the word "anti" popped up in Shixun's mind.  In fact, his talent is limited, and he may not be able to see the difficulties and unrealities of self-reliance in Shu, but he may be dazzled by the temporary sense of crisis and take risks.  Fortunately, there is Zhong Hui's "drawing lessons from the past", and Sima Zhaomi's words to Shao Ti have been passed down to later generations: "Any general who loses an army cannot speak bravely, and a great man who has subjugated his country cannot live with his plans, because his courage has been broken. If Shu has been defeated,  , The remaining people are frightened and have nothing to do with them; the Chinese soldiers all want to return home, and if they do not do evil, they will only destroy their own clans.¡±; In addition, Cao Cao sent Cao Ren's soldiers into Hanzhong, just like Sima Zhao sent Jia Chong to come in the name of helping to arrest Deng Ai in history. If Shixun still can't see clearly the path he should take, then he is really confused.  Head.  Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pat his chest and said in his heart: "What a risk. I am not very wise, but I want to learn from future generations. As the saying goes, 'use history as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs.'" He decided to leave Chengdu early tomorrow morning  , returned to Luoyang via Hanzhong without any struggle.  Since Cao Cao has the intention to reduce his own power, he must not stay in Chengdu for a long time. If the old Shu scholar-bureaucrats really have some bad expectations and incite themselves, then they will not be able to explain clearly. With Cao Cao's  Personality, in order to prevent the slightest change, he can only deal with himself more ruthlessly.  Chengdu is the so-called "suspicious place". Staying for one more day will increase the risk.  As for completely calming down Shu, this matter is not up to you.  If Cao Ren takes over, there shouldn't be any major military problems; as for civil affairs, Zhongda can be entrusted to him.  Shi Xun decided to persuade Cao Ren to continue to trust Sima Yi after arriving in Hanzhong - Zhongda's ability to govern a state or even a country may not be able to calm the people, resume farming and weaving, and promote culture and education like Xun Wenruo, but whoever tries to change the sky and rebel  , he will definitely be able to press it immediately.  To Shixun's relief, he led his troops northward the next day and traveled quickly all the way, arriving at Nanzheng ten days later. Cao Ren readily agreed to his request and allowed Sima Yi to continue to be in charge of civil affairs in central Shu.  In fact, in a sense, Cao Zixiao felt a certain amount of guilt towards Shixun. On the one hand, Shixun captured Shuzhong and then handed it over to him to govern, which seemed to take away the credit from others - although this was not his intention;  On the other hand, Cao Ren also thought from time to time that in fact, he was the best candidate to lead the army to conquer Shu that day. If the place was changed, he would be the one who suffered now. It was Hongfu who seemed to have taken the blame for himself.  Therefore, since Xunxun has asked for it, of course he will accept it.  Shixun has always had a good relationship with the various Cao Xiahous. The most irresistible among them was the late Xiahou Yuan. The two collaborated many times and eventually became in-laws.  He and Cao Hong were at odds for a while because they were trying to persuade Cao Cao to gradually abolish Guanjin and cut off Cao Hong's financial path; but later Xun tried to remedy the situation by seizing Cao Hong regardless of the cost in terms of industry and commerce. Cao Zilian's attitude immediately changed.  A 180-degree change.  The reason is that the Cao Wei regime does not belong to Cao Cao alone. Shi Xun clearly realized that the Cao Xiahou were the core force of this new regime, just like the backbone of the regime at the founding of the Western Han Dynasty were Xiao He, Cao Shen, Fan Kuai, and Xiahou Ying  The two counties of Feng and Pei, who are waiting for Yishui, are just like the heroes.  The reason why the Cao Wei regime later weakened was that the Sima family took advantage of it. It was also because the Cao Cao Xiahou Juncai withered away, leaving only Xiahou Xuan, Cao Shuang and others as useless people, as well as Xiahou Ba who only played a short role in the novel.  It used to be said that Cao Pi suppressed the clan and thus deprived power. After Sima came to power, he went too far and granted the same surname to many people. However, Shixun believed that this reason was not valid.  Because the Cao Xiahous were equivalent to quasi-clan clans, or at least relatives by marriage, Cao Pi and Cao Rui always relied on them and held military power.  It's just that the disciples were too quick. Since the death of Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, and Xia Houshang, they couldn't find an available general. As for government affairs, they couldn't have much to say.  Therefore, if he wants to stabilize his position, Shixun must not distance himself from the Cao Xiahou.  Fortunately, the people who were wandering around were also considered relatives by marriage, so it was easier to communicate with each other and they were not easily ridiculed by cliques. Secondly, all the Cao and Xiahou also wished that he was Hongfu.  Although they are known as Cao Shen and Xia Houying, the family has been in decline for a long time. If Cao Teng had not been granted the title of Marquis and Cao Song had not bought the official position, these two families would have been landowners forever, and no one would look down upon them.  Although Shixun's background was not very high, his worth increased a hundred times as soon as he entered the Zheng family. No matter how high-minded the aristocratic family was, they were always polite to Confucian scholars - at least they could be summoned to enhance the family's heritage and enhance the family's prestige.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT???????? Outstanding warriors such as Cao Xiahou and those new noble warriors would definitely be honored if they were favored by such honorable relatives.  Shi Xun believed that as long as the Cao Xiahou were supported, his power would not fall to the bottom in an instant; as long as the Cao Xiahou were stabilized, this emerging regime would have the possibility of continuous rise.  Of course, as the so-called "wealth cannot last more than three generations", the wealth of Cao Xiahou will be exhausted sooner or later, and Cao Shuang, Xiahou Xuan and others will appear sooner or later, but by then, there will not be their own disciples and former officials to continue to maintain the situation.  Is the regime stable?  It is precisely for this reason that after Cao Ren received Shixun in Nanzheng, he immediately held a banquet in honor of him.  Shi Xun gave him an overview of the situation in Shu and his political agenda. Cao Ren immediately said: "I will follow Hongfu's rules and am not good at changing the old system." If you want Sima Yi to continue to be in charge of civil affairs, you can, absolutely.  no problem.  After the banquet, Shixun was about to hand over the seal, but Cao Ren quickly stopped him and said there was no need to worry, and we could do it tomorrow.  Then he dismissed everyone, deliberately pulled Shixun to his side, and said in a low voice: "I shouldn't have told Hongfu immediately, but you came very quickly, which shows your loyalty.??Table.  I thought there was no need to hide it.  "Then the news of Cao Cao's death was revealed. Shi Xun was stunned on the spot. (To be continued.) ps: There was a huge bug in yesterday's update - I admit that I was confused during the New Year and had shit in my head  I revised it twice in a row in the evening, but I don¡¯t know what happened to the starting point system.
