Like thunder, the news that Cao Cao sent back not only trembled in Chongde Hall, but also roared around Xu County and even within a larger range of Yuzhou, making many people stunned.

Cao Cao resigned from the position of prime minister!

In Chongde Hall, the monarch and ministers were naturally shocked by such things and were at a loss. Naturally, it was impossible to deal with it immediately. Whether it was the so-called "self-examination" or "surveillance", in front of such a resignation and memorial, it was like a licking dog encountering green tea. His whole body was sore and soft that he was only hard and then he was pinched to death...

"High positions cannot be stolen for a long time, and great power cannot be stolen for a long time..."

After returning from the court, Liu Xie arrived in the back hall and couldn't help but look out for the resignation form. He cursed in his heart, "Old thief, aren't you very clear about this?"

But looking back, Liu Xie's heart was filled with a sudden sensation.

Cao Cao's statement said, "According to overwork, his body and spirit are exhausted, his blood and energy are prematurely weak, he is nearly fifty years old, his hair and beard are gradually whiter, and his day is getting blurred..."

Fake!

This is fake! At least most of them are fake, the only thing that really is that Cao Cao is really half a century old now.

Liu Xie gritted his teeth.

How much he had hoped that the old thief would get old and sick, but the old thief would be extremely energetic. Now he went to Youzhou for a while and then he became "overworked overwork, exhausted in body and spirit, and premature decline of blood and energy"?

Who are you fooling?

But now the question is, why do the old thief fools like this?

Really want to resign?

Liu Xie didn't believe it.

Perhaps in the early years, Liu Xie would believe whatever others said. Because when he was a child, he did not come into contact with many storms outside. He thought the world was what he thought...

Then, under the timidity of the surrounding yellow eunuchs, he finally saw something different, and then learned that even if the royal family is precious, they will be easily poisoned.

That rotten cow bone is still engraved on his dignity.

What others said or said nothing, actually doesn’t matter, what is important is what is done.

Liu Xie was unwilling to stay in Chang'an back then because he saw, or felt something that made him "fear" from Fei Qian's words and deeds, from the people around Chang'an. It was something he was completely unfamiliar with and had never understood. He couldn't figure it out, and even dared not figure it out, so he finally avoided it, just like he kept avoiding the death of his brother Liu Bian, his beloved concubine in his heart...

Liu Xie took a long breath, causing the dust and sand that contained the smell of blood to settle down again in his heart.

When people are alive, they must look forward and upward.

Because if you look down...

You stare at the abyss, and the abyss stare at you.

Liu Xie angrily threw Cao Cao's resignation on the table, and then turned around in the back hall with his hands behind his back.

Like a trapped beast.

The trapped beast can only sharpen its minions on the wooden stakes and iron railings that trap him. Even if it may cause the minions to burst, bleed and damaged, it is better than being trimmed all day long. Once you are held in your arms and trimmed your minions at will, it means that you will lose your soul and become someone else's pet.

Even if you don’t talk about the word “Son of Heaven”, is it a person or a pet?

Liu Xie walked twice and suddenly remembered something. He walked to the table again and picked up the resignation form to look at it. Sure enough, he saw a sentence, "It will make the king's affairs not end, and all the previous efforts will be wasted."

Is this a reason to resign?

No!

This is a threat!

Liu Xie gritted his teeth and then sneered from the gap between his teeth.

He mocked Cao Cao, but he was more mocking himself...

He's a thief!

One day...

…(`Dish′)…

"The old thief resigned this time..." Shi Sun Rui sat in front of Huang Wan with a serious expression, "How true is it?"

Huang Wan pondered for a while, shook her head and said, "It's probably because of retreating to advance."

Shi Sun Rui also became silent, and then sighed quietly, "The Han Dynasty is only difficult..."

For old Han officials like Huang Wan and Shi Sun Rui, many of the things they used to were now quietly changing, making them unable to adapt. For them, going back to the past may be the greatest wish in their consciousness or subconscious mind.

Because only by maintaining the living state before Dong Zhuo entered Beijing and the political environment are the comfortable areas they are familiar with, just like the shallow water area in the swimming pool, with calm winds and a little stretch of legs to the end.

And now, it’s like in the deep sea, you can’t see the coast or touch the seabed. The only ship is Cao Zhe’s pirate ship, and the captain has the right to throw them into the sea at any time.

How can I not say that this day is numb?

The two sat silently for a long time.

Shi Sunrui reached out to pat the table with a light pat, and some light seemed to shine in his eyes, "If..."

Huang Wan's gray eyebrows trembled, "It's not appropriate! The Prime Minister just said he would resign, but it wasn't real... Especially the military power, but it's still in his hands..."

Shi Sunrui was silent for a long time, then stood up with his hand pressed on the table and walked to the window, "You and I have no more time... Even if you cherish this old body, how many days can you keep it?"

The Shisun clan was originally a great surname Fufeng.

If we talk about the inheritance of the Shisun clan, we can go all the way to the Western Han Dynasty. Shisun Zhang studied the "Yi" from Wulu Chongzong, and later became a doctor. He moved to Yangzhou's governor and became a minister. He became a member of the Guanglu Dafu, so his family naturally passed on his studies. The "Yi" he received was originally from Liang Qiu's honor. Since then, Liang Qiu's "Yi" was divided into three schools, namely "Shisun, Deng and Heng.

During the Hengling period, the Shisun family was quite generous, but the family style was simple. When Shisun Rui was an official under Liang Ji in his early years, his uncle Shisun Fen only gave him five pieces of silk as a gift. Shisun Rui did not have big fish and meat every day, but instead had salted fish left. Of course, this might also be a person who was deliberately created, but no matter what, Shisun Rui's style was still considered a clear stream at that time.

However, the Shisun family is so rich, it is said that the family's wealth is 100 million.

Such property will at most be jealous in the peaceful years, but in the chaotic and turbulent periods, it is the source of disaster.

So, naturally, the disaster came. Even though Shi Sun Rui cooperated with Wang Yun to kill Dong Zhuo, he still failed to protect his home. During the subsequent process of Ma Chao's attack on the Sanfu of Chang'an, he was also one of the gentry who escaped by the bedding and arrived in Jingzhou...

The phoenix in distress is not as good as a chicken, not to mention that the surname of the Shisun clan is small, and the size is no longer a phoenix. Fortunately, when Liu Biao was in Jingzhou, he was still polite to these wandering gentry clans. Of course, Liu Biao meant to use these foreign gentry children to compete with the local Jingzhou natives, but these foreign gentry children had no one or the other had no money, and they just had the title of being in distress. What would it do?

Later, Shi Sun Rui surrendered to Cao Cao with the natives of Jingzhou, or it was not called surrender, because Shi Sun Rui was just a guest minister of Liu Biao at that time, and did not really be a minister under Liu Biao, and Cao Cao did not take him seriously.

So after Liu Xie knew that these people were "missed" by Cao Cao, he deliberately summoned them and invited them to the court.

What Liu Xie asked them to do and what they wanted was actually not only Cao Cao, but also Shi Sun Rui and others.

Therefore, in the court, Shi Sun Rui also saw Liu Xie's dissatisfaction with Huang Wan.

"Prime Minister Cao's move is to retreat as he advances, eliminate rumors and stabilize the situation..." Shi Sun Rui said slowly, "In terms of etiquette, he can only say that he will be able to say that he will be able to do it, but now... I am afraid that as soon as His Majesty's veto is expressed, there will be no follow-up..."

Huang Wan frowned, "Jun Rong's intention... is to knock this matter down? Not to mention that military power is lost, even if... it is not consistent with the etiquette..."

Shi Sun Rui smiled bitterly and said, "What kind of "ritual" can you say in this world now?"

Huang Wan was also silent. After a while, she sighed, "Jun Rong, if you have to do this... I'll let me do it!"

"Zi Yan, you..." Shi Sun Rui was stunned for a moment.

Huang Wan sighed, "This body was broken, originally thought it would be dead on the way... But since the emperor needs it, what should I cherish? I made the statement before that Prime Minister Cao confessed, but I felt that the time had not come... Now, even if Prime Minister Cao pretended to resign, it was indeed an opportunity... Jun Rong still had a family book to take care of, and I was alone... It was nothing more than life and death. I was just asking me to take a step forward and do his own tests. Jun Rong could surround the array and check the reality of the situation, so as to make the follow-up..."

Shi Sun Rui naturally refused, but what Huang Wan said was the truth.

Huang Wan's wife was Lai, yes, Lai Min's sister. At that time, the situation was chaotic, and Huang Wan and his wife got separated. His wife followed Lai Min to Sichuan with her children, and since then they lived in the same place.

Once we part, we may never see each other in our lifetime.

If you are young, you still have some hope, such as what will happen in a few years, but Huang Wan is already old...

Shi Sun Rui was dressed and pushed Huang Wan to the top of the head, and then solemnly bowed to Huang Wan himself.

Huang Wan did not refuse, and was just accepting it. Then she stood up and held Shi Sun Rui's hand, and whispered: "From today, Jun Rong, don't come again... In addition, if... if you are destined to meet my incompetent child, you will look at me and take care of me a little..."

"Rui, dare not obey orders!" Shi Sun Rui bowed again.

This time Huang Wan did not accept it anymore, but replied with a gift. The two of them were silent for a moment. Huang Wan called her confidant and sent Shi Sun Rui to leave from the back door. He stood in the yard, looking at the branches of the old tree whose leaves were almost gone, and was silent for a long time.

Lao Shu, perhaps after surviving this year, may not be able to survive next year.

"Old tree..." Huang Wan sighed slowly, "If you can't open new branches, there will be only the use of Hong Fuzhi..."

…(╯︵╰)…

The feudal dynasty is separated from the people. The more feudal dynasty is, the farther it is from the people.

For example, many people laugh at the old farmer who thought that the emperor should be a golden hoe and worked with a golden shoulder pole, but they did not expect that this was actually a joke about the emperors. It has become a symbol and is completely out of touch with ordinary people. So, Cao Cao's resignation, in theory, the people should not know. Even if they know, they just say that they should go down to the fields and those who should go to work will still go to work.

But this time, many people know about it!

It was immediately in full swing.

And what is strange is that the people who are all over the world are all ordinary people, and most of the gentry children who like to talk big on the spot now do not say a word. Not only do they have fewer gatherings, but they also live in a quiet place every day, and even have much less social interaction in their usual habits.

However, these gentry or officials will not prohibit the people from discussing this matter.

Not long after, the people of the people began to form two major sects. On the one hand, Cao Cao did a lot of good things and should continue to be the prime minister, while on the other hand, Cao Cao resigned. If Cao butcher was gone, he would still eat a pig with hair? In the city of Xu County, some people just said something good about Cao Cao, and some people said that Cao Cao was not very good. On the other hand, it became almost the most lively topic around Xu County. If it was placed in later generations, it would definitely be the top of Du Niang without falling.

The strange situation makes many people feel incomprehensible, but those who understand become more and more silent. If you can hide without saying a word, you will be sick...

In a village shop outside Xu County, some civilians gathered in this shop to eat and drink.

After the autumn harvest, before entering the slack farming process, some labor was always sent to repair the water conservancy roads. Anyway, for the officials, the people's labor force is free, so they will naturally not be stingy when they can be used, and they will use it to death. The food they give is repeatedly deducted, and the top is allocated twenty cents, and it would be good if they could get three or five cents at the bottom.

After all, if you want to continue using these free labor next year, you have to give more or less a few carrots. After finishing the renovation work, you will hold a "dinner" to reward these civilians.

But if you want to eat in the city for such a little money, it is naturally not enough. So I arranged it in this kind of suburban wild shop. A straw shed is a shop. A hanging cauldron is stewed in water, a clay pot is made of porridge, salty, sour and bitter pickled vegetables, and sour wine mixed with water. It is a very cheap one.
