Chapter 6068 After all, it’s just the minimum requirement
Liu Xian looked at Cao Cao, who had stopped and was dripping with cold sweat, with an expression on his face that he didn't know whether it was disappointment or pain.
If he just wanted to avoid the disaster of annihilation, Liu Xian would have listened to his son-in-law, dismissed his servants, and taken his family into hiding. But Liu Xian did not do this. He was a minister of Cao Cao, and according to the dual monarchs of the Han Dynasty
System, for a Confucian disciple like Liu Xian, letting the lord go on the wrong path is also an act of betraying the lord.
Confucian scholars in the Qin and Han Dynasties were very particular about this. People who betrayed their masters were looked down upon because of this social trend. Even if Liu Xian escaped, and no one knew about it, Liu Xian could not get over the pain in his heart.
That was a hurdle, so he dismissed his servants, drove away his family, and waited for Cao Cao at the gate of Liu's house.
As for changing the robes and putting on the hair crown, this is the standard Confucian martyrdom ritual. A gentleman will inevitably wear the crown when he dies. This is the limit of what Liu Xian can do. If he is killed, at least he will have the appearance of a gentleman, and Cao Gong ordered it to be like this.
, if he said it and it was still the case, then he would just die of blindness. If he could calm down, it would mean that Mr. Cao...
Duke Cao did not lose his mind, he knew what he was doing, he was just motivated by profit.
Liu first took off his hair crown, walked down the steps, then slowly knelt on the ground, raised his hair crown with both hands, and handed it to Cao Cao, "Sikong, I can accept that you massacred the family out of anger, or I can accept that you are...
Pure ignorance, but is it worth it for you to massacre the families who follow you just for the sake of immediate benefits?"
Liu Xian didn't know who the more than twenty aristocratic families were. He just heard from his son-in-law that the Du family in Jingzhao had been exterminated. He thought that Cao Cao just discovered the outrageous behavior of the major aristocratic families and began to liquidate them. This reason Liu
First of all, it is acceptable.
The rational families actually know what they are doing, but if the Cao family and Xiahou family are doing it, they have to follow it. If they don't follow it, who will bear the loss?
Future money is future money, but if it is lost now, it is still a question whether it can be obtained in the future. After all, if the Cao family and Xiahou family can behave like this, I really can't say what the future will be like.
However, when they were doing it, people like Liu Xian were actually prepared to be punished by Cao Cao, but they believed that Chen Xun was behind it, the Cao family, and the Xiahou family were blocking the way.
Take it out again.
When it came time to take out the money, everyone unanimously pointed the finger at the Cao family and the Xiahou family. As long as Cao Cao wanted to show his face, he could at least take out most of it. Then everyone would be on the same level. Then when seeking benefits in the future, the Cao family, the Xiahou family, and each other would
The big aristocratic families stand on the same side, and there will never be such a thing as the Cao family and the Xiahou family joining forces with Cao Cao to take the bulk, while they eat the leftovers.
Of course, the smart people in the aristocratic families were also prepared for Cao Cao's rage and killing, so when most aristocratic families did this, it was not their own family who did it.
As for the objects of exchange, they are usually the sons-in-law of each family, because those centurions just meet all the prerequisites, and they also have enough land deeds to achieve mutual benefit.
Liu Xian is a smart person, and his logic for doing this is very simple. The Cao family and the Xiahou family are doing it, and his family can't do it without following, so he must follow.
I just didn't expect that Cao Cao would unscrupulously kill everyone.
Of course, these people who were exterminated were all those selected by Xun You and Cheng Yu who committed more crimes, didn't know how to advance or retreat, and joined the original family, but Liu Xian didn't know that.
Liu Xian knew that the Du family in Jingzhao had been exterminated, and even Du Ji was dead, so that was nonsense. After telling Cao Cao everything he knew in a rhetorical manner, and looking at Cao Cao's expression, Liu Xian thought he understood.
What a fool. It turns out that I am not angry. In fact, I know what I am doing, which is to kill aristocratic families to gather property. My Taoist heart collapsed on the spot. It turns out that I am a loyal, ambitious and tolerant Cao Sikong. This is the kind of person I am. Okay, I
Blind, kill me.
Liu Xian knelt in front of Cao Cao, holding the crown in both hands, and waited for Cao Cao to hack him to death.
However, could Cao Cao still take action at this time? Even if Cao Cao could take action, Cheng Yu would not be able to let Cao Cao take action. Because the Tiger Guards were formed ten years ago, most of the centurions were married before Yuanfeng.
, there are only a few who get married later, so this problem does not exist, but what about other teams? If they continue to kill, something will really happen!
Cao Cao shook his whole body and looked at Liu Xian who was kneeling in front of him. He had realized that Liu Xian, who had acted so staunchly before, was really stating the pros and cons to him, even giving his own life to give him advice, but this advice was already too much.
A little late.
"Shi Zong." At this time, Cao Cao's eyes were already a little dark, his head was tingling, and he could no longer stand still.
"Here." Liu Xian's words contained a bit of despair.
"Get up and gather other members of the family." Cao Cao supported himself with the Yitian Sword and said as firmly as possible that he could not kill.
"Is it too late?" Liu Xian asked, "There are more than twenty people. Even according to my family's situation, more than three hundred people have been married to centurions. These people have their own brothers and friends, Sikong,
You can ask Brother Xiahou to take you back to Chang'an, so that you can have the last dignity."
In addition to marrying his own daughter to Lin He, Mr. Liu also married some other centurions' daughters. He also had brothers from his sect, and some of those brothers also married. In their family, Lu
She married off and had thirteen or fourteen daughters one after another.
For example, when Xun Yu and Chen Qun only had one bloodline, they had married out four or five daughters in the past few years. How many of the aristocratic families under the Cao family only had one bloodline? Even the well-respected Liu
Damn, he also married off several maids.
Mr. Liu did not dare to think about how many daughters and concubines of those families with more people were married off. Mr. Liu knew that the daughter of a family named Gan who had been married for almost ten years was still married every year.
Marry four or five daughters.
I used to think that this kind of family was quite unlucky, but now Mr. Liu doesn't think so. It would be quite scary if he really married more than a hundred centurions.
So when he was trying to save others by himself, Liu Xianguang thought that Cao Cao had a grudge against the wives of two or three centurions to destroy his family. Liu Xian thought that Cao Cao had better go to Chang'an to avoid disaster, otherwise he would be hacked to death while walking. Liu Xianguang
First of all, I'm not surprised at all.
This is a centurion. Liu Xian hates this saying, "Every man who slaughters dogs for justice will be a scholar for his heartlessness." But even Liu Xian admits that these people at the bottom are really capable of great things.
Smart people may think forward and backward, but these people, after rising up, immediately take action. If two or three hundred centurions are really connected in series, they are not just a few people.
If you didn't pay attention before, Liu Xian didn't realize how strong his son-in-law was, but today when Liu Xian went up and struck a sword, Lin He didn't even block it. How big is the difference? Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty paid attention to the six arts of a gentleman. Liu Xian's
The swordsmanship was not fake, and a ball of sparks exploded in the end.
If the clouds were turned on, Liu Xian thought, don't brag about Cheng Yu. With hundreds of such people, and his subordinates, it would be a question of whether Dian Wei could stand out, or else, they would all die!
"Well, if you just kill the chief culprit, those centurions who have married daughters of various families will not make any move. After all, the laws and rules are there, and they know right and wrong. But you just kill the family without even a reason.
Come on, they will really take it." Liu Xian sighed, this is a dead end, at least in Liu Xian's opinion now it is really a dead end.
If the guilty are punished, there is nothing to say about the punishment of death. Even if they are executed, the married daughters have nothing to say. After all, universal morality and legal provisions are here, and guilt is guilt.
There's nothing to explain.
But this kind of indiscriminate and direct annihilation of the family, especially under the premise that Liu Xian thinks that Cao Cao and the family are not reasonable, then stop pretending. After you kill everyone in your family, they will kill you and your family.
It is natural to chop it into minced meat.
Since you don't follow rules, you only focus on strength, and you wipe out all the people on the other side, then if others use their strength to kill your whole family without asking why, don't say you're aggrieved, it's just retaliation.
"They exchanged almost all the exchange tickets on hand." Cao Cao said through gritted teeth.
"It's as if the Cao family and the Xiahou family are not so ordinary." Liu Xian said very coldly, "These are not reasons. There is only one reason. Your military power can destroy the opponent's entire family, and now this military power is decoupled.
Just prepare to go back for revenge."
"Mr. Zhongde, you should also go back to Chang'an and let Chen Hou handle this matter. You may still have dignity after going to Chang'an." Liu Xian bowed to Cheng Yu.
The so-called dignity is to be like Liu Ba. If he dies, his whole family will not be held accountable, but he must die. In Liu Xian's opinion, Cao Cao and Cheng Yu are almost at this level now.
More importantly, it is impossible to say that if Cheng Yu takes over this time, Cao Cao will not have to die. The last time the family did not admit this fact, they just pressed the bull's head. All the things that have happened up to now are actually the same as last time.
continuation of.
When things have reached this point, Cheng Yu can no longer explain enough.
To be more direct, is Cheng Yu's head count enough to make the common people angry? Not enough. If a third of the army really rioted, it would be far from it. It is different from the situation where the aristocratic family agrees on the surface but violates the law. The soldiers holding the swords are...
That’s it, if it’s not, it’s not, Cheng Yu is not qualified!
Cheng Yu's face showed an unforgettable bitterness. He never thought that there would be such a safety net. If he had known this earlier, he would have prepared the princes' edict like Li You did, read it out, and then killed the culprit again.
Then deal with a few cells, and then put others in jail.
"Go gather other members of the aristocratic family." Cao Cao ordered Cheng Yu coldly, "Even if I die, I will die clearly."
At this time, Xun Yu and Chen Qun finally rushed over with their guards. Seeing the stopped team, they gradually slowed down and finally stopped in front of Cao Cao.
"My lord." Xun Yu and Chen Qun saluted Cao Cao, then raised their hands to Liu Xian, "Shizong, thank you for persuading my lord."
"It's not me who persuaded you to stop. You guys are late." Liu Xian looked at Xun Yu and Chen Qun with some mockery and said, he is not a fool, and Liu Xian understood what happened before. Xun Yu and Chen Qun appeared at this time.
, Ridiculous, how ridiculous!
"I was struck by Cheng Zhongde." Chen Qun understood Liu Xian's meaning at a glance and said bluntly, "The big bump on the back of the head is still there."
Liu Xian was stunned. He didn't know how to answer. He couldn't help but flicked his sleeves and said, "Anyway, you are late. You can clean up this mess. More than twenty aristocratic families under Sikong's command have been wiped out. It's almost time to marry
Daughters who have gone out for about three hundred people, see for yourselves if you can quell the anger of those people."
"Not that many." Chen Qun took the list directly from Cheng Yu's arms and threw it to Liu Xian, "We were thinking about this issue when we came here. We can still catch up. If it is really a random killing.
If there are more than twenty aristocratic families, then there is only a dead end anyway."
"You all know this line?" Cheng Yu suddenly said.
"No, I didn't know before. Xiao Xian told us." Chen Qun shook his head. "We didn't realize it until now. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to care about it. I'm also tired. If you use me as a raft, you won't even tell me."
?”
Cheng Yu was silent, not because he was unwilling, but because Chen Qun didn't have to get involved in this matter, so they couldn't get Chen Qun's pulse and didn't tell Chen Qun.
"Is this strictly followed?" Liu Xian looked at Cheng Yu and asked with sharp eyes.
"Because according to estimates, Chang Wen and Wen Ruo should have stopped them at the door of Jingzhao Du Family." Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "Although Bohou made many mistakes, he was a colleague after all and did not want him to leave in such a disgraceful way.
"
Du Ji will definitely die. The only difference is that Du Ji realizes his own problems and chooses to be dignified. Like Liu Ba, only one person dies to save the whole family, or the whole family is killed like this.
To be honest, Du Shu was able to leave not because Du Ji's judgment was correct, but because Du Ji could choose to be decent. Otherwise, no one else would be able to escape, but your family is so lucky?
"Should my family be wiped out if we cooperate with each other?" Liu Xian yelled directly.
"Your home is neither far nor close, so it's best to delay as long as possible without arousing suspicion." Cheng Yu no longer concealed his behavior at this time, and directly pointed out the reason why he chose Liu Xian's home.
If it's too far, Cao Cao will be confused. If it's too close, it won't buy time. Cheng Yu didn't kill the family for the sake of destroying the family. He was waiting for Xun Yu and Chen Qun to stop the butcher's knife, and then negotiate with the family again.
It can be said that all the ideas are fine, but it hit Chen Xi's lifeline, causing the current situation to be extremely embarrassing and almost on the verge of getting out of control.
"These families can barely control the situation." Liu Xian finally said with some estimation.
Because those families with poor reputations and dark hearts were selected first. Although these families had fulfilled Chen Xi's minimum requirements, they were still the minimum requirements.
Make a small theater
Liu Ba came to Huangquan after his death.
The late emperors called to Emperor Ling, "There is a newcomer here. Go see if you know him and ask about the situation."
Emperor Ling was very unhappy, but he went anyway, "You look quite young. How are you doing?"
"Suicide." Liu Ba sighed and said.
"Oh, it turned out to be suicide. You can still come here after committing suicide. It seems that you have done something big." Emperor Ling expressed his understanding. "You have done something big. Suicide is considered decent and will not harm your family. It is good.
"
"I was harmed by a stupid family and over-issued 280 billion. If I had known that I would have chosen to be arbitrary and authoritative, those idiots would have tricked Sikong. For the sake of political balance, I had to give some of the power to those families. As a result, I was
Those idiots took my assets and overpaid them by so much!" Liu Ba said with a resentful expression on his face.
"Honey?" Emperor Ling was shocked, as if he was seeing a god. "How much money did you make?"
"280 billion, damn it, I can't handle it alone. We have to be decent and everyone works together. How can I pay it back in ten years? The Dog Family, damn, it's so damn unreliable." Liu Ba said extremely angrily.
"Fuck, my daughter doesn't want to wipe out the noble family, but she still makes you respectable? How many legions does the noble family have? Three Rivers and Five Schools surrounded them and wiped them out! And who the hell is Sikong? You can't divide 280 billion or 100 million, whichever is more.
Qing?" Emperor Ling was furious and extremely unhappy, thinking that Liu Ba was the Chen Xi rumored above. After all, his ability to make money had shocked Emperor Ling for hundreds of years.
"Let's go, I will take you to give my daughter a dream tonight. I don't even know the seriousness of it, just do it!" Emperor Ling was furious.
