Chapter 176: Cao Rui was sick and went to the court to be elected as the commander in chief, Zhong Da once again led the army to conquer Liaodong(2/2)

"Your Majesty, I obey." Cao Fang said and walked out of the palace. Not long after, a man followed behind Cao Fang, his face seemed to be stained with tears.

"Wei Chen, please see Your Majesty..."

Cao Rui looked at the face of the visitor carefully and felt that it was somewhat similar to Gao Tanglong, the regular servant of Sanqi. After a while, he realized that the visitor was Gao Tangchen, the eldest son of Gao Tanglong.

"You came to see me. What's the urgent matter? Why don't you see your father coming?"

"Your Majesty, my father...he is seriously ill and has passed away..." Gao Tangchen said, weeping uncontrollably. He took out a roll of bamboo slips from his arms, knelt down and handed it to Cao Rui: "This is my father's.

His last words... said that he must present it to His Majesty..."

Cao Rui was shocked when he heard this, and then felt a twinge of pain in his heart.

When he was in the East Palace, Gao Tanglong, as the Prince of Pingyuan, had been by his side admonishing and teaching him, but he didn't expect that Gao Tanglong would just leave like this.

He opened the bamboo slip and looked at the familiar vigorous handwriting inside.

"My dearest minister, Gao Tanglong, weeping blood to tell His Majesty:

In ancient times, Zengzi was ill and Meng Jingzi asked about it. Zengzi said: "When a bird is about to die, its song is sad; when a man is about to die, his words are also good." How can I be as sincere as Zengzi?

I am always worried that the master of the world will not fail to think of the rule of Yao, Shun, Tang, and Wu, but he will follow the path of Jie, Zhou, You, and Li. I am so sad! If you do what you do, it is like seeking a fish from a tree or boiling water to make ice, but you will not get it. It’s clear!

Moreover, during the period of the Six Kingdoms, the world was in a state of great turmoil. Qin took over the situation and did not cultivate the holy way. Instead, he built the palace of Afang and built the Great Wall to guard it. It subdued hundreds of barbarians, the world was shaken, and the road was as bright as its eyes. It said that it has one branch and one hundred leaves, and it will last forever. How can it be that the great rays of light will be destroyed in two generations, and the country will collapse?

In the recent Han Dynasty, Xiaowu Chengwen and Jingzhifu fought against the barbarians outside and built palaces inside. For more than ten years, the world was in an uproar. But Xin Yue Wu, defying heaven and anger, built Zhang's Palace, thousands of households, and died in Jiang Chong The changes caused by the evil spirits caused the palaces to become estranged, fathers and sons to kill each other, and the poison of blame caused disasters that would last for generations.

When I observed the early days of the Huang Dynasty, I saw a sign from the sky: a strange bird, a swallow's nest, with a red mouth, claws, and chest. This is a great difference in the Wei Dynasty. It is advisable to guard against eagles and ministers within the Xiaoqiang. Choose the kings, He sent troops to the rulers and states, often with flying horses, to suppress the emperor's territory, and to brighten the imperial palace.

In the past, the Zhou Dynasty moved eastward, Jin, Zheng Shiyi, and the rebellion between Han and Lu were all due to Zhu Xu, who was a clear example of the previous dynasties. The emperor has no relatives, but virtue is his assistant.

From this point of view, the world belongs to the world, not just to Your Majesty.

I am obsessed with all kinds of diseases and have little strength, so I will often go out and return to my home. If I sink, my soul will have knowledge, and I will repay it by growing grass!"

[Note 2: This memorial is found in "Three Kingdoms·Wei Shujuan 25·Xinpi Yangfu Gaotanglong Biography". In order to allow readers to roughly understand it, it has been slightly deleted and modified here.]

When Cao Rui saw Gao Tanglong saying, "It is better to guard against Yingyang's ministers within Xiao Qiang," he understood that the one he wanted to guard against was Sima Yi, the Marquis of Wuyang. And "Choose kings to make the king and the country deploy troops, and they often use wild horses to suppress them." Fu Huang Ji, Yi Liang Imperial Household..." This means that he should not be too harsh on the clan, but should give the clan appropriate power and let the kings assist the royal family to prevent ministers with foreign surnames from becoming tyrannical.

Cao Rui looked at Gao Tanglong's memorial and suddenly realized that since he had no one to use, why not select one or two trustworthy people from the clan to assist the royal family and check and balance the court?

But Gao Tanglong has passed away, who else can help him do these things?

Cao Rui couldn't help but shed tears and sighed: "God doesn't want me to succeed, so that the students in Gaotang will die without me!"
