MTL - Three Kingdoms-Chapter 2775 pointing at a deer as a horse

  Speaking of it, Wang Chang is already very "honest".

Of course, if it wasn't because there were more important things to do because of the need to do some planning and rescue, Wang Chang would also have wondered whether to make a jump at the celebration. After all, Wang Chang heard that during the Youbei victory , Xia Houshang's meritorious service is somewhat worthwhile.

Wang Chang found out these things, but he held back, and did not intentionally raise the issue at the ceremony. This was not because Wang Chang was timid, but because Wang Chang knew that he had a more important responsibility, and hitting Xia Houshang was a reward. It is a matter of little effort and much effort, so Wang Chang did not do it.

  The most important thing is, Wang Chang thinks that Xia Houshang's meritorious service is tricky, is it possible that someone deliberately passed it on to him...

  For example, if these Shandong gentry and squires, if Wang Chang stood up to confront Cao Cao and destroy the prestige of Xiahou, I am afraid that the Shandong gentry and squires would laugh behind their backs?

  But Wang Chang didn't expect that even though he behaved so "honestly", he was still approached by trouble.

  Cheng Yu said that he had purchased the raw materials for making gunpowder from hussars, but according to the ratio given by hussars, the gunpowder produced was still different. This seemed to mean that either Wang Chang was lying, that is, Huqi was lying, or Cheng Yu was lying, and he was defrauding Wang Chang.

   Hussar really gave a fake recipe?

  At such a moment, Wang Chang was unavoidably shaken, but he quickly rejected such an idea.

This is impossible!

   Absolutely impossible!

   Again, the hussars may give the second-level, single, or old version of the formula, but they will not give the fake formula, because it is completely unnecessary, and wouldn’t it be superfluous to give the fake formula?

   So the rest is Cheng Yu cheating?

  Wang Chang looked at Cheng Yu.

  Cheng Yu was also looking at Wang Chang.

  In the main hall, it seemed that everyone's eyes were on Wang Chang.

  Wang Chang inexplicably felt a strong pressure.

   No, there were two other people who didn't look at themselves.

  One is the emperor Liu Xie, and the other is Prime Minister Cao.

   Liu Xie seemed to be staring at Cao Cao, but Cao Cao seemed to be just closing his eyes and resting his mind.

  At such a moment, Wang Chang seemed to have a flash in his heart. He had some enlightenment, but it didn't take shape. He just vaguely felt that something might be wrong. It seemed that something was hidden under the shadow of the curtain in this hall...

  『Wang Shijun, how do you explain this? 』Cheng Yu pressed on step by step, not giving Wang Chang extra time to think.

  『Haha, hahaha...』 Wang Chang suddenly laughed.

  At this time, Wang Chang realized that laughing is indeed beneficial, at least it can be used to delay time.

   Hearing Wang Chang's laughter, Cao Cao slowly raised his head, glanced at it, and immediately met the eyes of Emperor Liu Xie.

  Cao Cao's expression was still stable, but Liu Xie's eyes were a little angry, but after the two people's eyes touched, they turned away.

  The officer on duty standing in a corner of the hall frowned, and was about to step forward to reprimand Wang Chang for being rude, but when he saw Xun Yu waving his hand, he nodded silently, took a step back, and stood with his arms folded.

  After Cheng Yu stood up, Mao Zong seemed to be relieved, and then took a few steps back, as if he had completed some task and retreated.

  Cheng Yu also didn't say anything to stop Wang Chang from laughing, and seemed to be looking at Wang Chang with a little interest.

  『It’s ridiculous...』Wang Chang shook his head, sighed, and immediately began to chant...

  『From the north gate, full of worries. I am poor all the time, I don't know how difficult it is. Already Yanzai! It's true, what is it called!

  『The king's affairs are suitable for me, and the political affairs are of benefit to me. I enter from the outside, and the people in the room hand over to me. Already Yanzai! It's true, what is it called!

  『The king's affairs are on my side, and the political affairs are all on my side. I go in from the outside, and people in the room destroy me. Already Yanzai! It's true, what is it called! 』

  『I’m laughing at me... I never thought that one day, just like the North Gate, political affairs will leave me alone! ”Wang Chang laughed, and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, as if he had encountered something ridiculous, “Haha, it’s so funny…”

  Cheng Yu was silent.

  The people in the hall also fell silent.

Those who can be in the hall are basically not fools. Even if some slip through the net and can sneak into the hall for a while, they usually stay for a short time, and then they will be swallowed by others, so they can survive for a long time. Those who survive in the political arena are basically not good people.

   This is evolution.

  So although Wang Chang verbally said that he was laughing at himself, in fact basically everyone knew that Wang Chang was not just laughing at himself, but at the rest of the hall.

   As for what are you laughing at?

   Those who understand will naturally understand.

   After being silent for a while, Cheng Yu moved his long beard slightly, "Could it be that Wang Shijun doesn't know why?" 』

  Wang Chang slowly withdrew his smile, "No. The reason for this, speaking of it, I really know something... It's just that it would be a bit rude to say it... Are you sure you want to listen? 』

  Wang Chang asked Cheng Yu, but his eyes were on Cao Cao.

  Cao Cao still lowered his head, as if all the previous actions did not exist.

  At this moment, Wang Chang figured it out. This is actually like an exam.

  The examiner is Cao Cao.

  The ones who took the exam were Wang Chang and the emperor Liu Xie.

   Cheng Yu in front of him, with Mao Zong who had retired, looked like an invigilator.

   The test is loyalty.

   It's like when Zhao Gao called a deer a horse in the hall of Emperor Qin II.

  When Zhao Gao arranged the farce of turning a deer into a horse, he must have known it well. His power at that time was far higher than that of Qin Ershi. Zhao Gao's joking little trick once again tested the situation of the DPRK and Central Committee, and at the same time warned the ministers about Zhao Gao's strength and Qin Ershi's weakness. There is a bottom.

   Then Qin Ershi really didn't know it was a deer?

knew.

   According to historical records, the second generation laughed and said, "The prime minister is wrong?" Call a deer a horse. 』Ask left and right, left and right or silent, or talk about Ma A Shun Zhao Gao, or talk about deer. Of course, those who said they were deer basically had nothing to end with, they were all killed by Cao Cao, uh, Zhao Gao...

Back then, Emperor Qin Er said that it was a deer, but as a result, there were not many ministers who supported him, but there were a few who supported him. "Jingshui is a trouble", and hid in Wangyi Palace, but he still couldn't escape, and soon Zhao Gao rebelled and killed Qin Ershi.

  Because Qin Ershi actually knew it was a deer.

   Not a horse.

  The most important thing is what Qin Ershi said at the time, "The prime minister is wrong? 』

  So the current Liu Xie, do you know whether the so-called gunpowder formula is a deer or a horse?

  Anyway, Liu Xie didn't say a word except for the few words that went through the process at the very beginning.

  Speaking is an attitude, and silence is also an attitude.

  So while Liu Xie stared at Cao Cao, Cao Cao would also look back at Liu Xie, and then the two looked away.

  Under such circumstances, it doesn’t really matter what Wang Chang said, because the things that testify are not Wang Chang himself, or even gunpowder, but deer and horses...

  The Son of Heaven's deer and horse.

   Hussars of deer and horses.

  The deer and horses of hundreds of officials.

deer.

horse.

   Choosing a deer is naturally wrong.

  The one who chooses the horse, can it be right?

  The final answer of the Son of Heaven is not to choose.

Liu Xie didn't blurt out that this is a **** deer like Qin II back then, what do you want to do, old man Cao, but carefully maintained his identity as a program administrator and let the BUG continue to run . As long as you don't leave the field, you are a referee, even a referee who relies on credentials.

  As for Mao Zong and Cheng Yu, they are the people who testified for Lao Cao, so regardless of the real gunpowder and fake formula, they will definitely say it is a horse. A horse that refers to a deer as a horse, hussars, how can there be no horses?

  If there is no horse, wouldn’t it be true that many brothers have to borrow a step to speak?

It seemed that he realized that Wang Chang had figured it out. Cheng Yu didn't turn his head to look at Cao Cao, but just stared at Wang Chang intently, as if he was trying to distinguish Wang Chang's expression, or he could accept Cao Cao's order without turning his head. , nodded slightly and said: "I also ask Wang Shijun to enlighten me." 』

  Wang Chang looked around, and in the eyes of everyone, smiled and said: "It is not difficult to solve this matter, please take a measure." 』

  『Measurement? 』Cheng Yu was taken aback.

  Everyone was also taken aback.

  Including the emperor Liu Xie and the prime minister Cao Cao.

  Emperor Liu Xie vaguely guessed something when this gunpowder incident started.

  For the emperor Liu Xie, is Cao Cao worthy of trust, or Fei Qian worthy of trust? The answer is, neither is to be believed. If one of Cao Cao and Fei Qian can let go of the power in his hands and is willing to return the power of life and death to Liu Xie, Liu Xie will temporarily trust that person. And this kind of trust is only temporary, because this is the nature of imperial power.

  Lonely.

  If Liu Xie really has the authority of the Son of Destiny, inheriting the legacy of the great magister, he will definitely immediately use the meteor fire rain without any ambiguity...

  Unfortunately, Liu Xie did not inherit this bloodline limit, so he kept silent. Because he knows that as long as he does that, he's still a programmer. He has not yet been able to keep the system running while removing bugs. This was evident during the celebration, so he didn't dare to move or say anything.

   But Liu Xie hoped that Wang Chang would say...

  So I specially summoned Wang Chang at the Dachao Conference and asked Wang Chang to confront him in court.

  Once Feiqian sent troops, Cao Cao would naturally have to fight in person, so the control over the rear of Xu County and the surrounding area of ​​Tianzi would of course be reduced. Liu Xie could find more opportunities and more ways to solve the BUG problem.

   But Liu Xie was a little disappointed, because Wang Chang was like a fool, and he was just defending the authenticity of the gunpowder!

   Could it be that this Wang Chang couldn't see that this was a framing of the hussars?

   Could it be that this Wang Chang didn't know that no matter what he said, someone would stand up and prove that what he said was false?

   Liu Xie seemed to see himself in Wang Chang.

  At this moment, Wang Chang is facing almost all the enemies in the hall.

  At that moment, Liu Xie also faced the same enemies that filled the hall...

   I'm going to lose.

   Liu Xie sighed slightly. It is impossible to say that you won't win, and under such circumstances, it is so-called hard to argue. If you win a Maozong, you will stand up for a Cheng Yu. This is endless. Is it possible to win everyone in the hall? ?

  So when Wang Chang suddenly raised the measure, Liu Xie was taken aback.

   What happened to metrics?

  Cao Cao, who was below the Dan step, also changed his sitting posture, frowning.

   As for things like this, the accusation seems serious, but in fact it may not be so serious...

   After all, in the officialdom of China, other abilities may not be at full value, but the kung fu of turning big things into small things is basically full for all officials of the feudal dynasty. What if it turns out that the gunpowder is fake? Go back to study and research, investigate and investigate, go through a procedure, arrange a process, wait a few days, or if you really can't escape, it's the big guy who comes out and gets beaten, isn't it all over?

So what Cao Cao intends is not that this matter can directly cause any harm to the hussars. He just wants to use this method to warn the emperor and the officials. On the one hand, he means that the hussars are not "good". On the other hand, it is also to observe and review the standing situation.

  Of course, there are still indirect injuries. Among other things, it will at least erode the prestige of hussars and suppress the goods in Guanzhong to a certain extent. It would be even better if the hussars handed over all the gunpowder technology in order to prove their innocence...

  However, Cao Cao also knew that the full version of the gunpowder hussars would definitely not be given, so he boldly accused the gunpowder of the hussars as fakes! The tribute presented to the emperor is not the best, isn't this a fake, is it not contempt for the king, what is it?

  So Cao Cao originally thought that he had reached an invincible position. Anyway, the gunpowder in Guanzhong is indeed more powerful.

  But Cao Cao did not expect Wang Chang to suddenly say that the problem lies in measurement...

  Cao Cao was a little dazed. He expected that Wang Chang would deny, shirk, procrastinate, ask three questions, and play the tricks that Shandong officials are used to playing from beginning to end, and then Cao Cao would be able to sit under the Dan steps, as if watching Like a monkey, watching Wang Chang fall into the trap and struggle step by step, from pretending to be calm to being out of breath, not only can let the emperor know that the hussars are unreliable, but also let the officials see that the people under the hussars are just like that. thing.

   These days, fear of hussars is a disease that needs to be cured!

   But Cao Cao and others did not think of this measurement problem. Because Cao Cao and others originally imagined that Wang Chang would deny, argue, and pretend to be confused. I never thought that Wang Chang would actually respond to the problem with a problem-solving model...

   After all, if the problem of gunpowder in Shandong is really solved, isn’t this “capital to the enemy”? Can Wang Chang go back? Didn't he be imprisoned immediately when he arrived in Guanzhong Chang'an? But what does it mean when Wang Chang looks like I'm just helping you find problems and search for the truth? Was Wang Chang so reckless? I really didn't see it!

   But the measure...

   This time, Cheng Yu turned his head slightly and glanced at Cao Cao.

  If Wang Chang cheated, Cheng Yu and others had already conceived various plans, and they would definitely be able to block Wang Chang one step ahead of time, but when Wang Chang said that he really wanted to solve the gunpowder problem, they had no choice...

  Is this for real?

  In the main hall, there was a rustling all of a sudden, like a group of insects hiding in the grass and whispering.

   It seemed like it had been a long time, and it seemed that it was only a few breaths. Cao Cao nodded his head in a seemingly undetectable way, and Cheng Yu coughed, and ordered the imperial guards on duty under the palace to get the measurement.

   Measures are fetched quickly.

   This is not a rare item, but it is very rare for most people in the hall, because most of these people do not know how to use these measurements...

  Is the gentleman far away from the kitchen? Not only the distance from the kitchen, but also other things. The "gentleman" is actually quite far away. Therefore, most people know about these measuring tools in the hall, but they don't have much contact with them, because their class doesn't use these things in their daily life at all.

  Wang Chang took a few steps forward, took a look at the measure, and then smiled.

  Actually, when Wang Chang said that there was a problem with the measurement, he was not very sure, but when the forbidden soldiers showed the measurement, it made him more firm in his thinking...

  『The disadvantage of gunpowder arises because of this! "Wang Chang said loudly, "The measurements in Guanzhong are all unified, which is called the standard, so the magic method of hussars is all measured by the standard...but this kind of measurement is not the standard. It should be noted that Yi Youyun said, "A gentleman is prudent at the beginning, and if the difference is as small as an inch, it is as good as a thousand miles." This is exactly the reason. Your Majesty, I don't know if it is necessary to order a small official to take the measure from Guanzhong, whether it is long or short? 』

  In the hall, suddenly fell silent.

  Guanzhong has unified the "measurement". Now the gunpowder is inconsistent. It is because the measurement is inconsistent, so there is a deviation. If you want to get consistency, then please change the measurement to Guanzhong measurement.

   But, is this possible?

  If Shandong is willing to change, wouldn’t it mean that it would have changed already?

  Wang Chang came all the way from Guanzhong, and saw whether it was the fields or the market, didn't the people in Shandong all boast that they were the center of the world, the fertile soil of the Central Plains, the vast territory, and the rich talents? How can you admit that Guanzhong is better and stronger? Even if you have such a feeling in your heart, you will never admit it verbally!

  Under such circumstances, how many people will actively cooperate with the change in measurement?

   What's more, these high-ranking officials, whether it is food, drink or expenses, are served by others. How many of them will care about the difference between Guanzhong's measurement and Shandong's measurement? Even if they saw it by accident, how many people would take it to heart?

   What's more, there is something in Wang Chang's words. Is this just a matter of measurement?

  Cheng Yu was dumbfounded.

   Facts speak louder than words. If it is eloquence, Cheng Yu and others are not afraid of it, what they are afraid of is the facts, especially the unchangeable facts.

Among the feudal dynasties, there have been changes in the measurement of the past dynasties, and there are all kinds of official rulers and official fights, but there are official ones and private ones. May agree?

  Since it is definitely inconsistent, how can we refute Wang Chang?

  So in the hall at the moment, everyone is speechless.

  Although it refers to a deer as a horse, there is only one deer in the hall. When there was no horse, now the horse is brought up, and the size and length are different. How can you refer to it?

  『Mao Aiqing. Seeing that all the officials, including Cao Cao, were silent, Liu Xie suddenly had some indescribable feelings in his heart, "What else do you want to say?" 』

  Mao Zong fell to his knees with a thump, "Chen, I have nothing to say..."

  『As a Shaofu, you are in charge of craftsmen all over the world, supervising projects in prefectures and counties, but you don’t know how to measure differences? Liu Xie said slowly, "If you want to be dismissed from the post of Shaofu, let's think about it behind closed doors!" What does the prime minister think? 』

  Cao Cao's beard trembled, "Your Majesty is wise..."

   New Year plus updates!

  Happy New Year to book lovers!

Healthy and safe!

all the best!
