The book is picked up again.

"......" After hearing Cao Cao's words, the young head of the Jiang family was speechless.

Although he also thinks that his stupid brother really deserves to die, but Cao Cao is too partial, right?!

Could it be that a descendant of the Jiang family is only worthy of Li Zhidi's monthly salary?

Besides, who doesn't know that Li Zhifu is the best in the world, how can he see it in his eyes after a mere month?

Other words...... That stupid brother of his died for nothing?!

"Lord, this ......"

"Huh?!" Cao Cao saw that the young head of the Jiang family still wanted to speak, and his eyes widened, "What?" Do you have different meanings? ”

"No... No" Seeing the murderous aura in Cao Cao's eyes, the young head of the Jiang family was almost scared to death, how dare he have any objections? He shook his head repeatedly.

"Humph! It's good if you don't have it After Cao Cao snorted coldly, he picked up the wine cup and saluted everyone: "You can have today, this achievement depends on your loyal assistance, and I will take advantage of today's banquet to give you a glass." ”

After saying that, he drank the wine in his hand.

"I don't dare to wait......" After hearing Cao Cao's praise, the ministers humbled again and again, and then drank the wine in their hands.

After Cao Cao put down the wine cup, his eyes narrowed, and he asked with a smile: "Although I have done well in the past year, but as the saying goes, no one is perfect, have you ever felt that there is anything wrong with Lonely?" ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at everyone with expectant eyes, as if he was going to admonish.

"This ......" After everyone heard Cao Cao's words, they glanced at each other, and no one dared to make a bird.

Although Cao Cao said this, his tone was gentle, but after all these years of getting along, they knew that Cao Cao was an out-and-out ruthless person!

In case he spoke too heavily now and annoyed Cao Cao, he might not have a seizure now,

But when the time comes, he will definitely give them little shoes to wear!

So, no one dared to stand up!

"Huh?" Seeing this, Cao Cao's face changed, and he scolded with displeasure: "The so-called loyalty is against the ear, and only loyal ministers can say loyalty!"

If you are not perfect, there will definitely be shortcomings in your body, and you are afraid of being lonely and do not speak, how can it be done by loyal ministers? ! ”

"This ......" After hearing Cao Cao's words, everyone was a little at a loss and in a dilemma.

They are now saying no, not saying no!

Say it, I'm afraid it will be targeted by Cao Cao in the future, don't say it, I will become a traitor in Cao Cao's mouth again, isn't it embarrassing!

Just when everyone was at a loss and didn't know what to say, a man in his forties suddenly appeared in the place where the family was located.

The middle-aged man saluted Cao Cao respectfully and said loudly: "Lord, there is a difference between the upper and lower respects, the reason why we don't say it is not that we don't want to be the loyal minister, but that the Luoyang who is sitting in the first place has not spoken, and we really dare not skip him."

The subordinates believe that as long as the Marquis of Luoyang takes the lead, we will definitely speak one after another. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! We are indeed waiting for Luoyang Hou to speak! After hearing the words of this middle-aged man, the eyes of all the people of the family lit up, and they all began to drink.

They could hear that this middle-aged man was digging a pit for Li Zhi!

If Li Zhi stands up and says good things, he will not be an out-and-out traitor!

And if he accuses Cao Cao, no matter how good Cao Cao's relationship with him is, there will always be a little mustard left in his heart, right?

In the eyes of the real people of the family, the reason why Li Zhi is difficult to deal with is because his relationship with Cao Cao is too good!

It's like two teams are playing, Cao Cao, the referee, is clearly biased in favor of Li Zhi, how can they win?

However, once the relationship between the two of them broke down, it would be much easier for the family to deal with Li Zhike.

Unless Li Zhi is willing to break away from Cao Cao's command, otherwise, even if the relationship with Cao Cao breaks down, he must abide by Cao Cao's rules!

When the time comes, the people of the family can completely use the rules to play Li Zhi to death!

"Hehehehe...... "The people of the family can see it, how can Li Zhi not see it?"

After he stood up unhurriedly, he chuckled, saluted Cao Cao respectfully, and said, "Brother Meng De is good at everything, but he is too approachable......

"Nonsense!" Before Li Zhi's words were finished, the middle-aged man pretended to be full of resentment and shouted loudly: "As a lord, being approachable is a virtue, how can it be said that it is a shortcoming?!" Luoyang Hou is not satirizing the lord?! ”

"Look......" After Li Zhi heard this person's words, he didn't get angry, but shrugged his shoulders and gestured to Cao Cao: "Today's banquet is different from the past.

Today is a formal banquet, and everything has to be done according to business.

But on such a formal occasion, this person stood up to speak without Brother Meng De's consent, but Brother Meng De did not reprimand him.

It can be seen that Brother Meng De's usual behavior has lost his prestige, so that these people are no longer afraid of Brother Meng De in their hearts! ”

"You... You're talking nonsense and using strong words!! When the middle-aged man heard Li Zhidi's words, his face turned pale and he yelled hysterically.

Then he hurriedly bowed deeply to Cao Cao, and said with a frightened face: "Lord, my subordinates have no intention of offending!"

The subordinates just thought that Luoyang Hou's words were too appalling, so they came out to accuse!

The subordinates definitely have no intention of underestimating the lord! Absolutely nothing! ”

This middle-aged man is really scared, if he is disrespectful to Cao Cao, not only will he be finished, but his family will probably not be happy.

"Hmm" After Cao Cao replied noncommittally, he ignored the middle-aged man, turned his gaze to Li Zhi, and said sincerely: "The shortcomings that Brother Xingzhi just said have been noted down by my brother.

In the future, the brotherhood will pay attention to his majesty, and he will never give people the impression of weakness and bullying again.

I don't know if there is any advice from the virtuous brother in addition? ”

Cao Cao was serious at this time, he originally just wanted to fish, but after hearing Li Zhi's words, he suddenly felt that what Li Zhi said was very reasonable.

In the past, in order to buy people's hearts, he pretended to be approachable.

But now that Li Zhi mentioned it, he suddenly realized that he was no longer the one who wanted to please everyone from all walks of life.

There is really no need for him to deliberately lower his majesty in order to buy people's hearts.

"Well...... this" Li Zhi saw that Cao Cao was serious, and felt that this was a good opportunity to persuade Cao Cao, so he thought about it seriously.

After thinking for a while, he raised his head and said to Cao Cao with a solemn face: "In addition to being too approachable, Brother Meng De is also too suspicious!" ”

"This ......" Cao Cao was silent after hearing Li Zhi's words.

Of course he knew what was wrong with his suspicions, but he didn't think it was a shortcoming!

Because he has read all the history books, every emperor who can be called a promising emperor is very suspicious.

He thinks that being suspicious is an advantage rather than a disadvantage!

But he could see that Li Zhi's words were well thought out, and if he vetoed Li Zhi's words, it would not only hurt Li Zhi's face, but also hurt his heart!

So after hearing Li Zhi's words, he didn't know how to answer.

Li Zhi looked at Cao Cao, who was hesitant, and after a little thought, he understood the concerns in his heart.

"Hehe......" After thinking about it, Li Zhi chuckled lightly and said seriously: "I also know that throughout the ages, all promising emperors are suspicious, and even some founding emperors are suspicious to the extent of indiscriminately killing heroes!"

But as long as you think about it carefully, you will find that the reason why these people kill heroes indiscriminately and are suspicious is because they are not confident! ”

"Not confident?" After Cao Cao heard Li Zhidi's words, he became interested and asked, "Where do you start with this?" I also hope that the virtuous brother of the line will advise. ”

Not only Cao Cao, but the others in the hall were also very interested in this topic, and they all stared at Li Zhi with curious eyes to see how he justified himself.

Li Zhi was not frightened by hundreds of eyes, and after chuckling, he said confidently: "You are all people who have read poetry and books, and you must all know that Liu Bang, the Taizu of the Han Dynasty, once wantonly hunted and killed heroes, but the First Emperor did not.

They are both founding emperors, why is there such a big difference? ”

"This ......" After everyone heard Li Zhi's words, they all fell into deep thought.

After thinking about it carefully, they found that it was really as Li Zhi said, he was also the founding king, and Qin Shi Huang did not wantonly hunt and kill heroes.

Even some people who had offended him, he gently raised his hand and let them go.

Although there was a book burning and Confucianism, the Confucian people hated the First Emperor very much and frantically smeared him.

But everyone knows that the truth of book burning and pit Confucianism is that those scholars who were killed by the pit deserve to die!

Those scholars who were killed were crazy behind their backs to smear Qin Shi Huang, and they were even planning a rebellion, so it would be strange if Qin Shi Huang didn't kill them!

Not only Qin Shi Huang, but any emperor who knew that someone was smearing him behind his back and plotting a rebellion would not be lighter than Qin Shi Huang!

As for Lü Buwei......

The emperor has become a commodity, who will kill him if he doesn't kill him?!

To sum up, although Qin Shi Huang was very strict with his subordinates, he never did anything to kill meritorious heroes.

On the contrary was the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty - Liu Bang.

Although Liu Bang looks very gentle on the surface, he even rewarded his subordinates lavishly.

But after the founding of the country, he was more ruthless than anyone else, but anyone who had the slightest suspicion was cut directly!

So the question is, why did Qin Shi Huang, who was spurned by everyone, not kill the heroes, but Liu Bang, who was highly praised by everyone, did such a chilling thing?

What's the difference between the two of them?

Everyone thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with a clue.

However, there are also a few smart people, such as Xun Yu, who showed a look of understanding on their faces after thinking for a while.
