[Three Kingdoms] Burning incense and sacrificial wine

"Pedestrians stumble on rough roads, strange rocks? strange shoes? strange roads?" When passers-by stumble on the rugged mountain road, do they blame the stone for not having eyes, the shoes for not being strong, or the mountain road being rough and difficult to walk?

Like spring water pouring into a jade cup, the water splashes everywhere, and the sound is clear and clear——the sound stimulates people's spirits, as if surrounded by mist, which is indescribably cool.

Such a special voice was unforgettable, Cao Cao recognized the identity of the other party almost immediately, and stared in that direction.

The faces that he hadn't seen clearly because of the limited angle of view before, are now all displayed under his nose because of the movement of standing up.

It is as bright as the moon and as bright as jade.

It was indeed the Cui family Xiaolang he had met in the suburbs of Beijing.

Cao Cao sat down again, took the empty wine jar, and held it in his hand.

In an inconspicuous corner, after Cui Song couldn't bear to say something to He Jin, he sat down as if nothing had happened, and continued to sip his wine.

He Jin was taken aback by this sudden attack, and it took him a while to come back to his senses: "Of course I'm to blame."

No matter how difficult the mountain road is, it is also my own fault that I will trip over it. Do I have to blame a dead thing?

But he saw the young man next to him looking sideways, throwing a cup and laughing: "Since that's the case, why do you still want to criticize the eunuch's system?"

He Jin said: "What is the connection between the two?"

"The eunuch's power started with Emperor He." Cui Song filled himself another cup, "The so-called eunuch is nothing more than a knife ear in the hand of Emperor He. Later generations borrowed swords, which were weak and useless. Instead, they hurt themselves. body. Don’t blame yourself, blame the sword, why?”

The reason why eunuchs can control Chao Gang was originally the power given to them by Emperor Hanhe.But the reason why Emperor Hanhe promoted eunuchs was to strengthen the centralization of power and eradicate arrogant and domineering relatives who even ignored the royal family.In the era of Emperor Hanhe, the eunuch was nothing more than a sharp and obedient knife to him.Later, the little emperor wanted to contain his relatives, so he learned the methods of Han Hedi and cultivated his cronies among the eunuchs.Indulging but not suppressing, favoring but not guarding against, the eunuch group, which was trembling in the Hanhe Emperor's era and did not dare to cause harm, finally became rampant after a hundred years.

Who is to blame?Blame the system itself?

ridiculous.Any system has a good side and a bad side. It keeps pace with the times and changes with the times. There is never such a thing as "absolutely correct".

The world is chaotic, not the system, but the people who use the system.

I don't know how to make progress, I don't know how to be flexible, I don't know how to reform, I just blame it on a dead thing, blame everyone and everyone and hate society, what is the reason?

Cui Song, who has learned dialectical materialist values, really cannot tolerate He Jin's black and white remarks, let alone the chauvinism revealed in his words.

"A poor and remote place, isolated from the world, with a river running through the inside and outside. The villagers have no way to cross the river, no bridge to cross, and are trapped in a barren land all day long, watching the sky from a well. There are man-made bridges to benefit the villagers, but the bridge has been in disrepair for a long time, and no one I would like to pay for repairs, but if the bridge collapses, who should be blamed? The villagers? The bridge builders?”

The eunuch system is like a bridge, which was of great benefit to the rule of the Eastern Han Dynasty at first.It can be said that if Emperor Hanhe had not promoted eunuchs to seize power for himself, the Eastern Han regime would have been ruined by foreign relatives at a young age when the Eastern Han emperor succeeded to the throne.However, with the growth of time, the bridge has aged, and the disadvantages of the eunuch system have gradually emerged.Later generations did not think about improving the system, and allowed the malpractice to worsen. They turned the eunuchs into vicious wolves that were not inferior to their relatives, corrupted and accepted bribes, attacked scholars, and messed up the Han regime.Who is to blame?The Emperor Hanhe who created the system of eunuch participation in politics?

Cao Cao listened fascinated.As the heir of an eunuch, his father grew up in a family of eunuchs, so it can be said that he knows this group quite well.

Of course there are disadvantages, but it is a joke to put all the sins of the collapse of the Han Dynasty on the eunuchs.

If the system has not been changed, the eunuchs will be eliminated first, not to mention whether the eunuchs will fight back when they are dying, but only to say that the operation of the inner palace will be completely paralyzed.

Therefore, even though he has always regarded himself as a scholar, even though he knew that his identity was subtle and was rejected by the general and many scholars, he still said in public in front of many strategists, "If you want to punish a crime, you must get rid of it." Chief Evil".

As a result, He Jin and Yuan Shao mocked back.

Cao Cao, who had been stuck in his heart for a long time, never thought that he would hear a concept similar to his own from a young man who had not yet reached the crown.

"It's the eunuch's crime to be a slut in the world?" Chewing on the words that made him stop his horse, Cao Cao smiled, and motioned to the Lord to bring him another jar of dirty wine, fill a bowl, and move toward the From the back of the young man, he respected him from a distance.

Here, Cui Song, who threw a dialectical bomb at He Jin, finally calmed down and warned himself that this is not a modern society, and it is normal to encounter some unacceptable ideas.

He stood up unsteadily, smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, and bowed to He Jin.

"No shape for a while, look at the sea with one step."

After all, without hesitation, he staggered out of the wine shop.

"Wait a minute."

Cui Song stopped in his tracks, and a dark gleam flashed across his eyes, which were smudged coldly by the alcohol.

"Then, in your opinion, what should General He do in his current situation?"

Given He Jin's current situation, how should he deal with the eunuch?

Cui Song recalled the few and unclear memories about He Jin in his mind, and said: "Leave a thread in everything. Evil must be eliminated."

These are two diametrically opposed answers.

Either, don't push the eunuch too hard; or, kill the eunuch.

As long as He Jin chooses one of the two in history, he will not end up in the end.

Cui Song shook his head, and walked away step by step.

He Jin stayed where he was, thoughtful.

……

Is Cui Song drunk?

No.

A wine that is about the same strength as modern rum, you won't get drunk even if you drink a few jars more.

The reason why he was drunk was because he couldn't bear it before, so he slapped the middle-aged uncle who looked suspicious at first glance.

At that time, he sprayed it very well, and Cui Song wanted to leave immediately after spraying.

#So high-spirited is not in line with his low-key personality#

The uncle who struck up a conversation with him was suspicious, but after all, he was handsome and luxuriously dressed, he was not an ordinary person at first glance.

And those words he said...In this era, Yue Mo is going to be dragged to check the water meter?

Cui Song, who was afraid that what he said earlier would offend others or involve some sensitive area, immediately thought of pretending to be drunk.

A minor's nonsense when he was drunk, shouldn't it cause people to care about it?

Walking out of the market with a sway, the conscientious Xu Zhuo showed up to hold his arm as soon as he arrived at a place where there were few people, "My lord, are you all right?"

Unexpectedly, Cui Song was faster than him. When he stepped into the empty alley, he immediately straightened his body, his feet stopped shaking, his head stopped shaking, and he was so energetic.

Xu Zhuo has never seen such a routine: ...

"Nothing, don't worry."

Cui Song continued to walk forward without any embarrassment, got into the carriage waiting at the end, and went back home with Xu Zhuo.

Cui Song made up his mind to spend this last comfortable time, and when Dong Zhuo came to Beijing, he would take advantage of it and run away.

The assassin hadn't appeared since the last battle.Whether it is diet or daily life, there is no difference from the beginning, and there is no crisis or target.

Cui Song didn't know if it was because the people behind the scenes had changed their minds, or if he was going to let him go and wait for a big move.

Or... is it really Jian Shuo who pays for murder?So once Jian Shuo dies, he will be safe...?

Still unable to find the answer, Cui Song sat in the inner room, reading and practicing calligraphy, and continued to study the notes of the original owner.

As long as there is something to do, the thoughts in my mind, "Can I go back", "I won't become a vegetable in modern times", "Will my parents worry", "Where is the original owner's soul? Did it interpenetrate with myself?" "...and so on, the messy thoughts can be suppressed, and they will not get into the horns.

In the name of recuperating at home, Cui Song reads, writes, and goes shopping every day, from April to August.

During this period, he roughly finished reading the original owner's notes, re-read the history of the pre-Qin period, secretly pushed up and leapfrogged in the room every day, and chopped wood piles with a sword... After a few months, his explosive power became much stronger.

What makes Cui Song difficult to understand is that during the past few months, Xun's nephew and uncle occasionally came to visit, and the friendship value of the few people has risen from a chance encounter to a gentleman's friendship...but Cui Song has no idea why this is.

# Probably is the face is more handsome #.

Cui Song pinched his jaw and thought so seriously.

Since August, the number of visits by Xun Yu and Xun You has gradually decreased.An atmosphere of urgency surrounds Beijing, as if the strings of a piano stretched to the limit, will break if it is lightly pinched.

Cui Song knew that General He would start to make trouble next.
