Lao Cao wanted to block and suppress Emperor Liu Xie, but for Lu Ren, he had to find a way to help Emperor Liu Xie. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This is not to say that Lu Ren is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, but Lu Ren has his own plans in his heart, and the specific reasons have been explained in detail before, so I will not repeat them here. There may have been no way to take Lao Cao before, but this time, since Cao Chong sent it to the door, of course Lu Ren wanted to use it. Not only should we make good use of it, but also make the face of Emperor Liu Xie more bright.

Just imagine, not only was Xuchang's "Dahan First Football League" successfully held, but the world-famous singer Lu Lan also performed a large-scale theatrical performance at the opening ceremony, which is a bit ...... Hehe, I don't know what to say. At least in Lu Ren's opinion, the face of Emperor Liu Xie and the Han royal family will definitely be able to earn a family. As for whether Lao Cao's face is good-looking or not, it is not in Lu Ren's consideration. Some things have been buried in Lu Ren's heart for many years, and if there is a chance to slap Lao Cao's face a few times, Lu Ren is still very happy.

As for Lao Cao's disagreement...... Lu Ren didn't have to worry about this. Let's put it this way, although Lao Cao is very strong, he is not strong enough to cover the sky with one hand. If he is really strong enough to cover the sky with one hand, then where will Lao Cao's two battles in Hanzhong give up halfway? To put it bluntly, don't you have to rush back to engage in political struggle? And who is the opponent of the political struggle? Isn't it those wealthy families in Lao Cao's territory?

As soon as Lao Cao died, why did Cao Pi give up Lao Cao's "meritocracy" and instead use the "Nine Grades Zhongzheng System" handed over by Chen Qun? In the final analysis, isn't it just to reach a political deal with the wealthy families, so that these wealthy families can support Cao Pi as emperor and make the Cao group the new imperial power?

In order not to go too far, the topic will stop there. Anyway, in a simple sentence, we must not ignore the strength of those wealthy families in Lao Cao's territory. And on many issues, Lao Cao also had to adopt an attitude of retreat and forbearance.

At this time, it turned back to Lu Ren's body, Lu Ren's current series of moves were actually based on the veins of those wealthy families. Taking the current situation as an example, Lu Ren has seen something from those "business representatives".

From a general point of view, many wealthy families at that time still had the so-called "orthodox" concept, and the more representative figure at this point was actually Xun Yu, but Xun Yu ran to Lu Ren at this time. But in Cao Wei's territory, there were still many people who held "orthodox" ideas, and these people were also one of the main targets of Lao Cao's struggle.

is still the same sentence, Lao Cao is actually a little thoughtful about the matter of being the emperor, but because the "orthodox" ideas of the wealthy families in this period still existed, Lao Cao did not dare to openly offend the anger of the public, so he adopted the means of division and suppression. Before the time is ripe, Lao Cao will not act too blatantly, and the suppression is also carried out in secret.

So what is Lu Ren going to do now? To put it bluntly, Lu Ren helped Emperor Liu Xie to use the "Football League" to give Emperor Liu Xiechang a long face, which happened to be in line with the idea of maintaining "orthodoxy" among the wealthy families. Therefore, make the movement as loud as possible, so that those wealthy families know about this incident, and those wealthy families who maintain "orthodoxy" will of course have a supportive attitude towards this incident. And if so many wealthy families stand up to express their support, even if Lao Cao wants to suppress it again, he can't suppress it, so he can only follow the wishes of the wealthy families to let the "football league" be held.

As for Lu Lan sending out, it's relatively simple, don't the literati in Jiangbei feel that they have been slapped in the face by Sun Quan at the cultural level? At that time, most of the literati came from wealthy families, so the wealthy families who wanted to save face would definitely not be able to sit still. Suddenly, I heard that Lu Lan would also go to them for a tour, and the first stop was the "opening ceremony" in Xuchang, which just met their desire to hold a cultural event and pay tribute to Sun Quan's thoughts, so as to further add a little yard to whether the "football league" can be held smoothly.

Okay, that's all for now. It was only said that Cao Chong, Yang Xiu, and Zhou Budo discussed for a while, and this time it was Yang Xiu who spoke to Lu Ren and said, "Fujun Mingjian, do you still ask Fujun to think twice about this matter?" ”

Lu Ren looked at Yang Xiu, and said in his heart that when he was planning against this young man, Yang Xiu's eloquence should be the best, right? Immediately, he nodded and said, "Dezu, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Yang Xiu said: "Fujun, please think about it, if it is just Fujun's team to go to Xudu to compete, it is naturally no problem, but Liu Bei and Sun Quan have always disobeyed the orders of the court, and they have also fought with Cao Bus for many years, if they are also sent to Xudu to compete, I am afraid that it will ......."

Lu Ren was happy at the time, and he thought that Yang Xiu could say something amazing, but he didn't expect to say only this thing. But think about it, if Liu Bei and Sun Quan's team go to Xuchang, this is indeed the biggest problem, and it is also the easiest question to be asked.

But because it is the easiest to be asked about this, Lu Ren has of course been prepared for a long time. But seeing that Lu Ren smiled very indifferently, and then asked Yang Xiu: "I heard that Dezu, you have been well-read and knowledgeable since you were a child, so I will also ask you something." Dezu, do you know the Great Qin Empire (Rome) far away in the west? ”

Yang De was stunned, and then nodded lightly: "I know a little bit about it, but I don't know what Fujun wants to ask?" ”

Lu Ren said: "Then do you know that before the Great Qin in the West, there was a Greek civilization?" ”

"Uh...... I have seen a little, but there is too little literature on it. ”

Lu Ren smiled: "In that case, I will tell you a little story about Greek civilization." Interested in listening? ”

Cao Chong, the young man, immediately looked at each other, not knowing what Lu Ren wanted to do at this time. But seriously, these young people are all smart and studious people, and they are also more curious, so they don't mind hearing something new from Lu Ren.

Looking at Lu Ren again, he made a gesture and muttered: "The Greek civilization is a very brilliant Western civilization, and this civilization is before the Great Qin in the West. If we compare and describe our Chinese civilization...... Well, the Greek civilization is a bit similar to our two-week civilization. ”

In this way, Lu Ren and Cao Chong told some stories about Greek civilization, of course, a little bit like "Homer's Epic". By the way, the expeditionary fleet under Lu Ren's command had been able to run to the coastal province in the east of Rome at that time, and the "Homeric Epic" was also deliberately brought over by Lu Ren, and then printed in Latin engraving and then bound into a book and sold back there, which was also a way to make money.

On the local side, Lu Ren asked Cai Yan to carry out the work of sinicization, compiling poetry and vernacular style according to Chinese language habits, and preparing to sell it as reading materials at about the same time. And this is not just that Lu Ren wants to make money, but more importantly, Lu Ren wants to use this way to arouse the interest of Huaxia people in the outside world. To a certain extent, the eyes of Chinese people will naturally focus on the outside world because of this.

Well, after Lu Ren told some Greek historical stories and aroused the interest of this young man who was very curious, the topic turned to what he really wanted to say: "In Greece, there is a quadrennial event. According to our rhetorical habits, we can call it the 'Olympic Games'. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Ren unhurriedly filled himself with a glass of wine, and then continued in the curious and expectant eyes of Cao Chong and the others: "Don't think that Greece is a peaceful country, on the contrary, there are always wars between their many city-states, and their city-states are very similar to the various princes under the rule of our Great Han. But! When their quadrennial tournament is held, even rival city-states, even those at war, will have a complete truce during the tournament, and they must provide a safe passage for the enemy's participants to ensure their safety. And it doesn't matter if the war between them is fought after the event is over. ”

Cao Chong was surprised and said: "There are still such anecdotes in this world!?" ”

"Gonzo?"

Lu Ren smiled coldly: "In your opinion, is this just an anecdote?" Have you seen any other things? I don't want to say anything too deep, and it's hard to say honestly, but I just want to say this now, that we have always regarded ourselves as the state of etiquette, and regarded foreign nations as barbaric people. But where is our etiquette when we compare such things? Where is our trustworthiness? Where is the wind of our civilization? ”

"This ......" You said this kind of thing, how can Cao Chong and the three of them pick up the conversation?

Lu Ren put down the wine glass and sighed softly to Cao Chong and the three of them: "I know this matter, you three alone can't be the master, the reason why I tell you now is to let you have a bottom in your hearts, and when you look back and see Lao Cao, you can finally convey my meaning to him." If you don't understand it again, bring this sentence of mine to him. ”

Lu Ren paused as he spoke, and then said almost word by word: "The civilization that we regard as barbaric and backward can do so before some rights and wrongs, so will we not even be able to compare with those barbaric and backward civilizations?" Yes, everyone is indeed constantly fighting with each other, but in the final analysis, it is just that each other thinks that the other party is a traitor to the country, but whether it is a loyal minister or a traitor, aren't they all the same courtiers of the Han Dynasty? Now the Son of Heaven has issued an edict to hold a ball game to show the prestige of the Taihan Dynasty, so don't you even give this face to the Son of Heaven? So what does it matter if there is an occasional truce between each other for more than ten or twenty days, and how many games they play with each other? ”

Cao Chong and the three of them looked at each other, neither of them expected that Lu Ren would turn his words back to this meaning. And Lu Ren played a trick of leapfrogging thinking, and used the Dongdong of a foreign civilization to deviate from Cao Chong's normal thinking of the three of them, so it also made Cao Chong and the three of them really unable to answer anything for a while.

On the other hand, Lu Ren also knew that he couldn't underestimate these young people, after all, these young people were all young talents, and their minds were quite bright, so they must not be given time to react and think, otherwise they would show their eloquence when they reacted, and Lu Ren was really not sure that he could talk about them. So as soon as he said this, Lu Ren immediately waved his hand and said: "Let's talk about this today, and in two days I will arrange a ship to send you back to Yecheng and convey my meaning to Lao Cao." If Lao Cao can't even agree to this, then I can only say that Lao Cao's equipment is too small. At the same time, I will show the Son of Heaven and say that I will not send players to this game, because there is no point in going, and my Xiaolan will not be sent to you to tour either. By the way, you can talk to your entourage when you go back and see if they have any ideas. ”

Having said that, Cao Chong and the three of them also knew that it was useless to talk more now, so they had to say goodbye to Lu Ren. Among the three of them, Cao Chong glanced at Lu Ren a few more times with a very complicated gaze before parting, obviously he had something to say, but he really couldn't say it......

————————————————————

The next development was similar to what Lu Ren envisioned.

When Cao Chong and the three of them returned to those "business representatives", Cao Chong was very smart to close the door and thank the guests, without saying a word to outsiders, but Yang Xiu and Zhou Budo made the mistake of having a big mouth, and directly conveyed Lu Ren's meaning to those "business representatives".

Lu Ren just smiled and said nothing, because Lu Ren had previously chosen Yang Xiu and Zhou Budo to be the "megaphones". After a certain amount of observation before, Lu Ren had already found that Yang Xiu's personality was indeed not much different from what was recorded in the historical materials, to put it bluntly, he was young and ignorant, but he liked to show off because he was a little clever. In modern parlance, it is to like to pretend to be 13 limelight at every opportunity.

Why did Lu Ren bring up the story of Greek civilization? In addition to the ones that he told Cao Chong and them, it was also to let Yang Xiu have some capital that could be loaded with 13, so that this guy couldn't help but sell some of his new things to others, and then conveyed Lu Ren's meaning to those "business representatives" as he spoke. In other words, Yang Xiu's "chicken ribs" incident actually involved the military secret, Yang Xiu even dared to show off his cleverness to the military secretary, so in this matter now, where does he dare not say it?

As for Zhou Budo, this little guy's personality is somewhat similar to Yang Xiu, but when it comes to pretending to be 13, his enthusiasm is not as high as Yang Xiu's. It's just that when Yang repaired 13, naturally some people came to Zhou Budo for verification, and Zhou Budo couldn't run away.

In Lu Ren's opinion, the smartest of the three young people is Cao Chong, because Cao Chong has a calm heart, and when he encounters this incident, he immediately chooses to hide and not put himself on the cusp of the storm. Perhaps, this also has something to do with Cao Chong's always trying to avoid Cao Pi's frame-up, right? If it's too flamboyant, he'll only die a more ugly death.

Without further ado, just say that after Yang Xiu and Zhou Budo spread those meanings, they immediately aroused heated discussions among the "business representatives". According to the results of Lu Ren's secret investigation, these people obviously supported Lu Ren's proposal. And these people have such an attitude, and when they go back, the wealthy families behind them will also have an approving attitude, so Lao Cao will succumb to the pressure of public opinion from the wealthy families.

In this regard, Lu Ren just smiled, and took the time to contact Yizhou, so that Lu Lan was ready to go to Lao Cao's side to tour, and at the same time, let the participating teams that had been selected before also prepare to go to Xuchang to play in the "football league......

The next day, Cao Chong's gang boarded the ship arranged by Lu Ren and returned to Yecheng by sea to return to Lao Cao. If nothing else, the news will be available in ten or so days, and Lu Ren will not pay attention to anything else. Seriously, it is good that this thing can be done, but if it can't be done, there is actually no loss to Lu Ren.

A few days later, Lu Lingqi and Sun Shangxiang also returned with cavalry. This time, they made a round around the periphery and did not encounter any other tribes, which Lu Ren was not surprised. But there was still something that surprised Lu Ren at this time......

"What!? County Lord, you said you don't want to marry!? ”

Sun Shangxiang pouted and looked at Lu Ren, and only after a long time did he squeeze out a sentence: "It's not that I don't want to marry, but I don't want to marry so soon...... Hey, not really! I mean, can you let me and Bo Yan get along like this? ”

Lu Ren was stunned: "County Lord, what do you mean by this?" ”

Just when Sun Shangxiang himself didn't know how to explain clearly, Lu Ren gradually understood Sun Shangxiang's meaning and thoughts. And Lu Ren, as a modern person, immediately summed up Sun Shangxiang's idea in a modern word:

"This little girl, this is wanting to live with Lu Xun! How could she have such an idea? Don't you want to be limited by marriage? In this era, her idea is too bold and too advanced, right? Oh, I can't say that, they are in the name of a marriage contract, and it is not unreasonable as far as etiquette is concerned. I went and asked her to follow Lu Lingqi to play on the grassland, how did she come back with such a result? ”

looked at Sun Shangxiang again in disbelief, Sun Shangxiang supported his head with both hands, and said with a bitter face: "I don't know why I have such an idea, it's just, it's just ......"

Lu Ren held his forehead with one hand, and waved his hand at Sun Shangxiang with the other. In this case, it is unrealistic to want Sun Shangxiang to make it clear, but Lu Ren is a modern person and a traverser, and this kind of thing is very common in modern society, so Lu Ren quite understands what kind of mentality Sun Shangxiang should have at this time.

After a long time, Lu Ren finally sighed and said, "Don't say some words about the county lord, I think I can understand your thoughts." Well, I'll write a letter to Bo Yan and ask him to do what I said. As for the relationship between you, even if it's a pair of lovers, if you really get along, you can have a wedding. If you don't get along, you break up peacefully, anyway, you have a marriage contract, and you can talk about anything. Also......"

Saying that, Lu Ren looked at Sun Shangxiang's bumpy figure, and finally couldn't help but say: "I don't know if there will be that kind of unbearable time between you, but if you really can't help it...... Remember to bring a condom!! ”
