By doing this, Cao Cao was obviously telling the gentry that Bai Chuan would definitely be reused.
Let these gentry clamp their tails, don't be like before.
This also shows that the world has changed!
Chapter 200 Long Knee Talk
Enter Wei Gongfu.
Cao Cao was completely different from his previous habits. This time, he didn't just hold a banquet in the barracks, but in Wei Gong's mansion.
As for Cao Zhang, Cao Chun and Cao Xiu, they drank freely in the barracks.
Cao Cao said with a smile:
"Jingming, I roughly know the details of the battle in Xiliang."
"The strategy is very clever, really good!"
Bai Chuan just smiled lightly and said:
"It's just some small tricks."
"Most people in Xiliang are martial arts, and there are not many people who study the art of war."
"Just use some ingenuity to win."
"Wei Gong is absurd."
Bai Chuan knew in his heart that Cao Cao's thoughts were probably not on whether Xiliang would be pacified or not.
Saying this is just to make the topic less blunt.
As for Cao Cao's true thoughts, it is unknown.
Cao Cao smiled and drank, while seemingly inadvertently said:
"Jingming, I have been waiting for you to come back and I want to ask you something."
"This matter has troubled me for a long time, but I want to hear your opinion."
Hearing this, Bai Chuan laughed, and said:
"Wei Gong, but it's okay to say, and I will know everything."
The smile on Cao Cao's face slowly disappeared, and he said solemnly:
"Xi Liang has been flattened, the north has been settled, and Sun Quan and others in the south are keeping a low profile."
"At this time, if I become king, what should I do?"
Hearing this, Bai Chuan was taken aback.
But to be honest, Bai Chuan was not surprised.
On the contrary, it is within reason.
It is too simple for Cao Cao to want to be king now.
No prince can resist his army.
What's more, the aspirations of the people can be seen from the matter of proclaiming the public, and the people do not object to this.
Under such circumstances, calling the king is definitely an excellent choice.
Cao Cao has great ambitions, and he is by no means a person who can be willing to be inferior to others.
It's just that Bai Chuan didn't expect that Cao Cao would want to become king so soon.
Moreover, according to Cao Cao, it should be that he has not asked other people.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so serious, and he wouldn't wait until he came back to say these words.
Actually it is.
In Cao Cao's mind, he could ask three people about this matter.
One is Xun Yu, one is Sima Yi, and the other is Bai Chuan.
Xun Yu is the person who knows Cao Cao best, so Cao Cao always discusses with Xun Yu on all matters big and small.
But this time is different, Xun Yu said that he has been sick at home, which is enough to show that he hasn't figured it out yet.
Therefore, Cao Cao would never ask him.
As for Sima Yi, Cao Cao is just a little optimistic.
This person is definitely not a thing in the pool.
After all, Sima Yi has been hiding his clumsiness and showing nothing.
Even if you ask him, he probably won't say anything.
Moreover, he has been persuading him during this time.
Why did Sima Yi persuade him to come in?
He is now Cao Pi's vassal, and persuading him is nothing more than trying to speed up the establishment of a son.
Therefore, only Bai Chuan was left.
Moreover, Bai Chuan's eyes and thoughts seemed to be completely different from others.
Cao Cao was also quite curious about how Bai Chuan would answer this matter.
Perhaps the most pertinent advice can be given to myself.
Bai Chuan put down his wine glass, and said with a particularly solemn expression:
"Duke Wei has considered it carefully, and it is a wise move to choose to be king at this time."
"However, it is not possible to become emperor for the time being."
Bai Chuan didn't have the heart to think about anything fancy.
After all, whether Cao Cao proclaims himself king or emperor has nothing to do with him.
It's nothing more than a change in Cao Cao's status.
It's just that, now it seems that proclaiming the king is not the Han Dynasty, but proclaiming the emperor is.
Although there is essentially no difference between the two.
Wang with a different surname is no different from preparing to replace the Han Dynasty.
In other words, it is impossible for Cao Cao to become emperor in his life.
For that reason, Cao Cao was a Hanchen.
Claiming to be emperor can be done, but it is not necessary.
It is better to leave it to your descendants to do it.
Cao Cao immediately stroked his beard when he heard the words, and said with a smile:
"What Jingming said is really straightforward."
Bai Chuan smiled slightly and said:
"Wei Gong actually doesn't need to think so much."
"Nowadays what the people want, the right time, the right place and the harmony of people are all in the hands of Wei Gong, why don't you become king?"
"Do we still want that Liu Bei to attack us in the name of Kuang Fu Han?"
"The commanding heights of morality should be determined by us, not by Liu Bei."
"Who is Liu Bei?"
"Besides the surname Liu, there is no advantage."
"The prime minister is the king, as long as the people's will is what he wants, then Liu Bei is nothing."
When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.
Is the moral high ground...
This is the first time Cao Cao heard this statement.
But think about it, it is true.
Since Liu Bei launched his army, what else is there besides benevolence and morality?
It is his own surname, and the illusory descendants of Prince Jing of Zhongshan.
King Jing of Zhongshan has so many sons, where can he find out?
"Jing Ming really hit the nail on the head!"
Cao Cao immediately figured it out.
In fact, this matter is a matter for the authorities to be confused by the bystanders.
The reason why Cao Cao has been reluctant to become king is that there is no one around to encourage him.
Cao Cao couldn't trust others.
Trustworthy people don't want to let themselves be kings.
Bai Chuan is the most suitable candidate.
"Duke Wei already has a lot in his heart, I'm just telling the truth."
After Bai Chuan finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly, and said again:
"There is one more thing, I also want to ask Jingming."
"Who do you think is more qualified to take the position of son, Zihuan or Zijian?"
Hearing this, Bai Chuan's hand holding the wine glass could not help but hesitate slightly.
Could it be that Zijian heard it wrong?
What is Cao Cao asking himself?
Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, who is suitable to be the heir?
Bai Chuan never expected that Cao Cao would actually ask himself this question.
But even though he was a little dazed, Bai Chuan came back to his senses very quickly, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said in a deep voice:
"Duke Wei, the matter of becoming king is a state matter, and I must give Duke Wei his opinion."
"However, the matter of setting up the son belongs to Duke Wei's family, and I absolutely must not interfere."
"I hope Duke Wei will understand."
Can't interfere!
Bai Chuan knew very well in his heart what the final outcome of the ministers who intervened in the dispute between the sons and daughters would be.
Especially Cao Cao, who is extremely elusive and suspicious.
If I gave Cao Cao an answer today, I may not know what will happen in the future.
"Unexpectedly, Jing Ming looks like Wen He back then."
"But Wenhe doesn't look like Wenhe anymore."
"Fun, fun!"
A smile appeared on Cao Cao's face when he heard the words, and he said calmly.
Hearing this, Bai Chuan couldn't help being surprised.
Judging from the meaning of Cao Cao's words, it is obvious that he has already asked Jia Xu about this.
In Bai Chuan's impression, Jia Xu gave the answer.
It seems that the old and the young are irreversible!
