Chapter 1093: Assessment and Establishment of Heirs
"It turns out that there is still such a relationship. Before, I thought that if the day came when we really had to establish an heir, the final competition would only be concentrated between the eldest son, the second son and the fourth son. Looking at it this way, it turns out that the third son is also very powerful.
competitive--"
"The key...the generals' support for the several young masters is clear at a glance. Most of them love the eldest young master and the third young master very much. It would be fine if only the eldest young master participates in establishing the heir. But if the third young master enters the stage at a certain time, the situation will be very different.
You won’t think about making small fuss like this now.”
Xun Yu nodded, and Jia Xu and Cao Cao both looked at him at the same time——
"Huh? What do you want to see me do?"
"Ah... I remember Xun Lingjun said with confidence just now that he just came here to avoid the limelight and didn't want to get involved... But it seems that Xun Lingjun, you are not paying much attention to this place?"
Cao Cao smiled and said, he knew that every time Xun Yu said something disgusting, in fact, no matter what, he would make suggestions for him.
But now that he has Yi Xiaotian, Xun Yu doesn't like to compete so much, but this doesn't mean that Xun Lingjun really plans to retire.
"Well, this... I just thought about it in my spare time. Although I don't want to interfere, but... staying in the villa all the time is not an option. Naturally, the sooner this crisis ends, the better."
Seeing Xun Yu explain like this, everyone shrugged their shoulders and looked at him as if he understood what he meant. They smiled and let Xun Yu go.
"Yes, Xun Lingjun is right - no matter what the outcome of this storm is, the sooner it ends, the better."
"And judging from the current situation, as long as Cao Cao does not make it clear, we can all temporarily assume that Cao Cao has no intention of establishing an heir. In this way, the direction in which we should all work hard is quite clear -"
"While the situation can still be dealt with, the Third Young Master should not be instigated yet. I believe that the dispute over the establishment of an heir should be made clear to the First Young Master, the Second Young Master and the Fourth Young Master, and the scope of the test should be clearly defined for them.
, let them practice in areas that do not conflict with each other - not only that, but they must also be given an accurate deadline. When Cao Cao really starts to think about establishing an heir, this is a key."
Following Xun Yu's words, Yi Xiaotian continued to add:
"You are all people who have experienced Guandu. You should clearly remember how Yuan Shao's sons fought for their father's family property after Guandu. Logically speaking, if Yuan Xi, Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang and the others could have succeeded Yuan Shao back then,
After death, they hug each other tightly and twist into a rope. Although the result may not be too different, at least... they will get more opportunities to breathe."
"Five years? Ten years? During this period, even if they are really retreating, they will not be defeated by Cao Cao one by one. They can go to Sun Quan or Liu Bei. In short, they will not end up like they are today."
Hearing what Yi Xiaotian said, Cao Cao murmured a little... Maybe he felt that the matter of establishing an heir was difficult. He had watched several of Yuan Shao's sons kill each other with his own eyes, and he reaped the benefits precisely because he knew this.
, he will be more cautious than usual.
"Work separately, do not conflict with each other, do not interfere with each other, and set standards for each of them. For example, after everything in Jiangdong is completed, Cao Cao will personally go out and inspect the young masters to see how far they have achieved in their tests."
"Of course...if any young master voluntarily quits during this process, then we should also provide support and let the other young masters who are still undergoing trials sign oaths and letters, etc. to ensure that they will not do anything to harm each other in the future and voluntarily
The young master who withdraws is not allowed to have anyone support him in seizing the heir. Once any of the above violations are committed, they will be punished with the highest standards of regulations."
"All of this must be done in an open and transparent manner. Young masters need to report on the test process according to time, and they even need to be assigned personnel such as historians to record and supervise. If they have any problems on the day of the report,
Any remarks that are inconsistent with the records of historians must be subject to multiple arguments——"
"Those who commit fraud will be warned for the first time, directly disqualified for the second time, etc."
Yi Xiaotian became more and more enthusiastic as he talked. Jia Xu, Xunyu and Cao Cao were dumbfounded when they heard this.
After all, Yi Xiaotian said just now that he didn't think about these things in detail. Then he turned around and gave out such a rigorous test process for establishing an heir.
this……
"This...are these really the solutions you just thought of, Brother Yi?"
"Why do I think...you have actually thought of this plan a long time ago?"
"It's wonderful...it's really wonderful. In this way, you gentlemen will no longer focus on other competitors, but focus on the test in front of you - since everyone's test is different, then they will also
There is no room left to interfere with other people’s trials.”
"Besides...it's different, but actually, Brother Yi, the test you're thinking of should not only include questions from the fields they are good at, right?"
Xun Yu seemed quite shocked. While he was amazed at the case, he also proposed his own improvement method.
As expected, Yi Xiaotian nodded and gave Xun Yu an affirmative look:
"Xun Lingjun really understands me! Yes, if the questions are only given in the fields in which you are good at, although in the end it will definitely be able to show what they have done in their own strengths, this is not a standard that can be used for horizontal comparison - "
"Therefore... the content of the test not only involves their strengths, but also the strengths of their opponents, which may be their weaknesses - not only that, the further the assessment proceeds, the more important the content involved is.
It is a close test of their comprehensive abilities. After all, only in this way will the heir finally selected be the one with the fewest weaknesses, the most strengths, and the one that best meets everyone's expectations."
"In these contents, Cao Cao's own wishes should have considerable weight."
Yi Xiaotian thought about it for a while and explained more about what he just said.
Cao Cao was naturally very happy to hear that his words had a lot of weight, but it was obvious that how could Yi Xiaotian speak so thoughtlessly?
Then I heard Yi Xiaotian say:
"But...it can account for at most 30% or even less of the importance, because Cao Cao himself definitely has a certain tendency towards a certain young master in his heart, even if he doesn't admit it himself."
"Well…"
Suddenly Cao Cao was choked by Yi Xiaotian's words. He was about to refute something, but Yi Xiaotian turned around and said something he would not admit, leaving Cao Cao speechless.
Cao Cao, who was stuck halfway on the road, seemed a little aggrieved. Yi Xiaotian glanced at him doubtfully:
"Is there something you don't understand? I can explain it to you. What I just said seemed a little too fast."
"That's... that's why I... oh no... why can the Prime Minister's words only account for 30% of the importance? Shouldn't the choice of heir be based on his inclinations?"
Cao Cao pretended to ask casually, but when he opened his mouth, everyone present laughed.
