Chapter 44 When Cao Cao Sees a Book
"It's not me, it was Lin Xuan who suggested you to be the emperor. We all know that you have many shortcomings, and your reputation is not very good, but as Lin Xuan said, you have the ability to rule the world and care about the people. Two points are enough." Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "At least, you are much stronger than that useless Emperor Han, aren't you?"

Hearing this, Cao Cao felt relieved.

From the conversation, he could tell that Zhuge Liang was really supporting him, not flattering him.

"Don't worry Kong Ming, I, Cao Cao, still have some conceit in my ability to govern the country." Cao Cao patted his chest and assured: "As for the common people, if one day I, Cao, do not do well, just take out your own Eight Formation Map, Just kill me, I have no complaints!"

Regarding this, Zhuge nodded and said, "Very good."

Then, Cao Cao went to Wu Pavilion and asked Zhao Yun, "Zilong, why do you support me?"

"I didn't support you, it's just that there is no other choice in this world!" Zhao Zilong said: "You can be emperor, as long as you are wise and love the people, Wu Ge will become the sharpest sword in your hand, but if you are stupid, Fish and meat people, the Martial Pavilion that I, Zhao Zilong controls, will definitely become your death talisman!"

At this time, his fighting spirit reached an unprecedented peak.

Combined with the power beyond the ordinary, and the universally recognized bravery, even Cao Cao, who holds a heavy army, is afraid of him three points.

"I, Cao Cao, swear to the sky that if I am an emperor in this life, I will live up to the common people, otherwise ten thousand arrows will pierce my heart, and I will die!" Cao Cao said solemnly: "I, Cao, really don't have a good reputation, but one day , I will let the world understand that they misunderstood me, Cao Cao!"

Whether this sentence is true or not, no one knows, but it is an indisputable fact that Cao Cao loves his people.

As the prime minister of a big man, he would go to work in the fields himself when the farming season was busy!

After visiting Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun, Cao Cao found Lin Xuan again and asked, "Mr. Lin, tell me, should I be the emperor?"

Lin Xuan was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What do you need to hesitate about such a good thing?"

He could see that Cao Cao really hesitated, not a fake.

"I have never really thought about being an emperor, or rather, I don't know what the use of being an emperor is at all." Cao Cao said: "Emperor Han is an emperor, but in front of me, he didn't even dare to breathe a sigh of relief. What kind of emperor? I am not the emperor, but I can give an order, and no one in the world dares not to obey, how is this different from Qin Huang Han Wu?"

Lin Xuan smiled and said nothing.

In fact, being an emperor or not, looking at it from the perspective of extraordinary beings, is the same: not every emperor can command the world like Qin Huang and Han Wu, and penetrate his will into every corner of the territory.

There is only one Tang Taizong, and Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle are also unique in history.

Apart from these people, there are more ordinary emperors who are incompetent and have made no achievements in their lives.If they were not born in the emperor's family, let alone become emperors, they may not be able to pass the exam for scholars even if they study!
Being an emperor is nothing more than a puppet with superficial glory. In terms of prestige, it may not be comparable to the current Cao Cao.

"No one dares to talk to me about this kind of thing, so only you can make some suggestions." Cao Cao said.

"How capable, how great things can be accomplished, and forcibly proclaiming the emperor is not necessarily a good thing for future generations." Lin Xuan didn't know what to say, so he took out the materials he had prepared in advance to prevent chaos. Tell him: "I have a shocking book here, you can read it, Prime Minister, and make a decision later."

"What kind of work can be called shocking?" Cao Cao took it with great interest and began to read it.

When he saw it for the first time, his expression was puzzled, because the contents of the book were so different from this era.But when he thought about it carefully and figured out the meaning, he stared, because he found that this was a terrifying theory that could shatter the imperial system itself.

Finally, after reading the whole article, a day and a night have passed.

Cao Cao didn't care about sleeping or eating.

"The person who wrote this book is really a strange person through the ages!" Cao Cao said, "Even if the things they describe are just the tip of the iceberg, they are enough to tear apart the entire era. "

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "That's natural."

Confucianism ruled China for 2000 years, but it finally fell, and it is no longer as prosperous as it used to be. Why?
What is loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, what are the three cardinal principles and five constant principles.

Such a person is truly worthy of respect!
"I have been muddled for many years, and it was only today that I opened my eyes. This is the ambition I am really pursuing!" Cao Cao yelled, unable to hold on any longer, fell to the ground and fell into a coma.

Three days later, he woke up and summoned all his followers, including Xun Yu who was no longer with him.

He even called over the abolished Emperor Han.

"For a long time, I have been hesitating about one thing, that is whether to become emperor or not." Cao Cao said: "I don't pursue eternal life, because it is unrealistic, and I don't want people in the world to surrender, because it is useless. What I want is their genuine support."

As soon as these words came out, everyone except Lin Xuan was at a loss.

"What is Cao Cao going to do again?" Xun Yu wondered in his heart.

"I thought about it for a long time, and it wasn't until Mr. Lin gave me a book about strange people that I finally realized that the reason why I didn't want to be an emperor was because people like emperors don't need to exist at all. We don't need emperors!" Cao Cao said .

Immediately, everyone was taken aback.

"Prime Minister be careful with your words." A loyal subordinate said.

"Father, you are the one who deserves the title of emperor," said Cao Pi.

"I said that people like the emperor shouldn't exist." Cao Cao shook his head and said, "I am conceited that I have some ability to govern the country, but what about my descendants? I can't guarantee that every generation will be wise and love the people. If you become emperor, sooner or later One day, my descendants will personally destroy the prosperous country I built!"

For a while, Xun Yu and the others were confused, while Cao Pi's face darkened.
