Chapter 567
"I know that the Queen Mother is in Xingbang's hands. Many things are easy to do. I want to unite the world as soon as possible.
It's just that I'm curious as to how Xingbang saved the life of Queen Mother He, and why no information was leaked out.
Moreover, Xingbang seemed to have been assassinated by an assassin at that time and did not enter Luoyang City, which is unthinkable."
Cao Cao said.
"Mengde, I have not entered Luoyang City, but Gan Ning has entered Luoyang City with ten thousand mountain troops.
At that time, Meng De was going to greet the young emperor with the ministers of the court. Who would care about the life and death of Queen Mother He?
Queen Mother He was the one who asked Gan Ning to rescue him from the city. Otherwise, once Old Dong entered Luoyang, do you think Queen Mother He would have saved her life?
After all, Empress Dowager He is the late emperor’s empress, and she cannot allow Old Dong to act recklessly. Doesn’t Meng De know what Old Dong did when he led troops into Luoyang?”
Qin Qi said.
oh!
Lao Cao shook his head, not believing Qin Qi's lies at all.
In that case, Gan Ning did have the ability and the opportunity to save Queen Mother He. After all, the entire city of Luoyang was in chaos.
Who will check Gan Ning and his party?
It was precisely because of this that Gan Ning emptied all the books in the palace.
"Xingbang, it's a good thing that you moved the palace books away, otherwise Dong Zhuo would have burned Luoyang City to the ground."
Cao Cao said.
"Xingbang, you didn't expect that the old Dong would burn down Luoyang City!"
Lao Cao said.
Qin Qi rolled her eyes.
"Mengde, who do you think you are? I am a human being, not a god. At first I just wanted to take advantage of Luoyang's chaos.
In order to make some money. In addition, Xiakou Academy was short of books, so Gan Ning was given the job. For this reason, many great scholars in the world scolded me bloody.
They also don’t think about it, if I hadn’t taken action, would the books in the palace have been preserved?”
Qin Qi said.
Lao Cao picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp.
"In any case, Xingbang, you rescued the Queen Mother He, this is definitely the most correct choice, so that the Xiakou Army can act openly and aboveboard."
Lao Cao said.
hey-hey!
Damn it!
The empress dowager's decree can completely oppose the little emperor's imperial decree. Besides, is the current little emperor still recognized by the Xiakou army?
The decree of Queen Mother He still has a certain effect, just like Liu Yan of Yizhou, Jiang Qian went to spray it with the decree.
Kneel down obediently.
Of course, against Yuan Shu, the two brothers Yuan Shao would not have any effect, nor would they have any effect against Liu Biao.
Liu Biao was the governor appointed by Fatty Dong, and he definitely recognized the status of the current young emperor Liu Xie.
"Meng De, I did not hold the Queen Mother hostage and ordered the princes to think of the people of the world wholeheartedly.
Thinking wholeheartedly about the Central Plains Empire. Can't Meng De see this? I have not wasted the reputation of Queen Mother He.
Everything is based on the interests of the people of the Central Plains and the interests of the country. Everything we do is aboveboard and upright, and can withstand people's scrutiny."
Qin Qi said.
Lao Cao despised Qin Qi.
What you say is better than what you sing.
It's really hard to refute. Qin Qi's words occupy the highest point. Everything is well-founded and he acts according to orders. Is that really the case?
"Xingbang, why are you so kind to Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan for selling so many high-performance weapons?"
Lao Cao said.
"Meng De, I don't like to hear this. Selling weapons to foreign countries is a purely commercial act. How can you feel at ease?
Didn’t I also sell weapons to you, Meng De, and the price is relatively cheap? You took advantage of it and still behaved, which makes me feel chilled!"
Qin Qi said.
"Xingbang, bring them down! Your purpose is to make Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao consume more strength and kill more people.
When the two of them are exhausted, they will send troops from Liaodong to solve the problems of Youzhou and Jizhou in one fell swoop."
Cao Cao said.
"There is indeed such a meaning in it. Who asked the two of them to come to purchase? I did not ask them to purchase!"
Qin Qi said.
"Xingbang, tell the truth. I have come all the way to the jurisdiction of Xiakou area. Compared with other places,
They are completely two concepts. Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and some Yanzhou areas are vigorously building roads.
Various water conservancy projects are in full swing. Arriving at Jingzhou site, it feels like a paradise.
The people live and work in peace and contentment. The sincere smiles on the people's faces make me admire them extremely. You know,
It only took a few years for Xingbang to take control of Jingzhou. Why did such earth-shaking changes happen? If all the people in the world were like Jingzhou,
There will be riots there. It seems! The problem of the Han Dynasty lies with the officials and the emperor.
They did not take the people seriously and ignored the life and death of the people, which gave the Yellow Turban Army the opportunity to rebel.
Only then can one call a hundred responses, and only then can the country be in turmoil."
Cao Cao said.
Qin Qi nodded slightly.
It is really not easy for Lao Cao to say these words. Lao Cao is a hero and overlord of a generation.
A hero in troubled times, a good minister in prosperous times.
There is no doubt that Lao Cao is loyal to the Han Dynasty.
Even in another dimension, Lao Cao did not proclaim himself emperor until his death. He always regarded himself as a minister. It was not that Lao Cao did not dare.
Lao Cao couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart.
History books and unofficial histories before the Southern Song Dynasty all regarded Lao Cao as a national hero, which was orthodox behavior.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, when the country's military strength was weak, the history was revised, and Lao Cao was described as a traitorous minister, and Liu Bei was described as an orthodox official.
It was the revisions of the Southern Song Dynasty that allowed the three brothers Liu Bei and Brother Zhu to gradually become deified. By the time of Qianlong, the second brother was directly canonized as a saint.
Like the real national hero Yue Fei, no one cares about him, and no one gives him a title.
There is no way around this. Western countries created humans by gods, while Eastern countries created man-made gods. This is the cultural difference between the East and the West.
Moreover, the people of the Central Plains are very realistic, and they have a purpose in kneeling down to worship God, and they are not as single-minded as Westerners.
When giving birth to a child, worship Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Go to the sea to worship the Poseidon….
Unlike Westerners, who only believe in one god throughout their lives.
"Xingbang, the national system was discussed in "Hundred Schools Lecture Hall". Among the several systems, which one do you think is suitable for the Central Plains Empire?"
Cao Cao said.
"Meng De, I just put forward several systems for people in the world to discuss. As for which system to adopt?
It is not up to the official to have the final say, it is up to the people of the world to vote. The world belongs to the people of the world, not to one person.
Of course it should be decided by the people of the world. When the time comes, no matter what the people of the world choose, I will support it."
Qin Qi said.
"I have read several issues and the debate was very intense. However, this proposition is good. The Han Dynasty must indeed carry out reforms. It cannot continue to follow the old path and find a path suitable for the empire."
Cao Cao said.
"Meng De, what kind of systems do you think you have, and which one do you yearn for?"
Qin Qi said.
"To be honest, the federal system is not appropriate and can easily cause trouble. The imperial system is the original system.
It's not feasible either. It's really inappropriate to let one person have the final say on the country's issues. It's good to have a wise king.
Make fewer mistakes. Once you encounter a foolish king, the country will suffer huge losses. What about a republic?
I like it very much and think it's good, but the great scholars in the world may not like it or support it.
I feel that a constitutional monarchy is relatively better, is less urgent, and can gain the support of many people."
Cao Cao said.
Qin Qi nodded.
