Chapter 159 Chapter 25 Cao Cao’s Feast on the Bronze Sparrow Terrace (4)

Therefore, what I am most concerned about at the moment is whether there are people like Jiang Taigong who are as talented as "beautiful jade", but have nothing to do, sitting on the edge of the Wei River to fish? A person like me, a down-and-out person who lives by stealing money from his brothers and sisters-in-law, but no one knows his talents? You all help me, and we run the country together. Shouldn't you try your best to find talents, and pay attention to their aptitude, so that What can I get and use? You must know that those who are active may not necessarily be aggressive; and those who are aggressive may not be active.People like Chen Ping can't be called sincere, and Su Qin can't be regarded as a man of faith, but Chen Ping helped Han Gaozu establish an immortal foundation. Su Qin was the prime minister of the six countries, and at the same time helped the weak Yan country.It can be seen from this that real talents have their own shortcomings, and we must not discard their talents because of their shortcomings.Officials in charge of recommending talents should deeply understand my heart, so that talented people will not be missed, and the country's major policies can be effectively implemented.

In the past, Yi Zhi and Fu Shuo were both born in the ranks of low-born people, while Guan Zhong was originally the enemy of Duke Huan of Qi; but after they were reused, the country prospered; Xiao He and Cao Can were just local officials. Han Xin and Chen Ping even "spread their stigma all over the world", and many people ridiculed them in public, but they were able to help Han Gaozu achieve great things in the end, and their names have been passed down through the ages. Wu Qi is a well-known general who has too much power. He wins the trust of his superiors by killing his wife. It is so evil, how can we talk about virtue? But when he was a general in Wei, the fierce Qin soldiers dared not go east; and when he was prime minister in Chu, South Korea, Zhao, and Wei dared not even The hope of Nanzheng shows how important this man without virtue is to the country!

As far as military commanders are concerned, virtue seems to be of little use. The important thing is whether he can bravely fight against the enemy regardless of danger.Officials of culture and customs, high talents are different, all those who are worthy of the important task of guarding the country, even those who are stigmatized, ridiculed by everyone, or accused of being unkind and unfilial, but able to govern the country and use soldiers are geniuses. What is urgently needed, I hope everyone will not waste it because of prejudice. ... After hearing this, everyone stood up together and said, "Although Yi Yin and Zhou Gong are not as far away as the prime minister!"

Cao Cao also stood up, drank several cups with all the officials, and said with a smile: "Today's banquet announcement is rare in the world, and I think it should be celebrated. Please call the officials and prostitutes you have saved, let's get drunk together today, and wish General Xia Houyuan and Xu Huang the victory!" For a time, cheers were like thunder.They drank until dark, lit candles and continued to drink.Many generals embraced the enchanting official prostitutes, and they were intoxicated until dawn before they dispersed. This day was the most energetic day after Cao Cao's defeat in Chibi.

In the blink of an eye in 149, it was the sixteenth year of Jian'an (211 AD). But it is said that Shang Yao, a native of Taiyuan in Bingzhou, gathered troops to occupy Taiyuan.This Shang Yao was originally a little-known figure. He was good at Taoism since he was a child, and when he became an adult, he avoided the crowd and lived in seclusion in Qidoushan, the capital of Wu.It is said that the night before his mother gave birth to him, she dreamed of a malevolent star falling behind the house, thinking it was unlucky; she woke up and told her husband, who was also terrified.At the right time, there was a man with a high bun and sideburns, who walked by with goose steps. Father Shang hurriedly invited him to his home to tell his dream.The Taoist gave a lesson on the spot and said: "This son steals the star position with a mortal heart, so he should be demoted. If he can not be fascinated by fame, money, wine and sex in the world when he becomes an adult, he will return to heaven on his own; otherwise , you will surely perish.” Having said that, he left.

That night, Shang's mother gave birth to a son.Father Shang took the word "Yao" as his name in the world because he thought it was an evil star in the lower realm. This Shang Yao has been different from ordinary children since he was a child. He neither likes to cry nor play. He only likes to lie or sit quietly without making a sound. He didn't start to babble until he was four years old.Seeing this, his parents felt different.However, once he knows the human language, he is extremely ingenious, and no one can argue with it.Seeing him grow up day by day, he was afraid that he would be fascinated by the trivial matters of the world. Before he was ten years old, he was sent to a village in a small county east of Taiyuan to be raised by Shang Yao's uncle.

His uncle's name is Shang Youji, he is a well-known rude butcher, with great strength, and he is the best at abusing children.After Shang Yao came, he was tortured, he only had to work hard all day long and had no books to read, nor food and clothing to find.Five years passed in a flash.One day, Yuji ordered Shang Yao to go to Taiyuan, and handed over ten packages of cow testicles and fifteen packages of sheep testicles to Xie, a big family in Taiyuan. This is the first time Shang Yao has returned to Taiyuan in five years.For five years, he swallowed his anger, and whenever he had free time every day, he would sit quietly and exercise his energy. Although he ate a loose diet, he was quite muscular;

At that time, when Shang Yao entered the city, he saw the streets and roads, thousands of households, and his eyes suddenly became confused.After finally asking around, I found out about a certain mansion.I saw a family member of Jiefu, who was born with a short face, short nose, horizontal ears and brows, almost out of human shape; seeing Shang Yao coming, he shouted: "Young man Wu, look here and there, looking for a crack. Looking for eyes, there must be a reason, let's not tell the truth!" Shang Yao clasped his hands and said, "I was summoned from Jiegong Kitchen of your mansion, and I am here to deliver ten packages of cow testicles and fifteen packages of sheep testicles."

The family members laughed and said, "So it's Shang Tu's apprentice." While squinting at the bamboo basket on Shang Yao's back, he said, "Follow me to the kitchen." Shang Yao followed his family and entered Jiefu.This Jiefu hall is tall and grand, with many doors.His family took him to the corridor on the right. Before reaching the kitchen, I heard a charming female voice giggling and saying: "Damn girl, do you want to use this blowing torch to prevaricate the man's panic? I'm afraid the fire will grow bigger..."
