Chapter 107
As soon as he left the palace gate, Yuan Ke quietly opened the edict, and saw that it read:

Gai heard that the law is not noble, and the rope is not bent, it is not so, although Yao and Shun could not rule the world.Today there is Sikong Cao Cao, who rarely has a bad reputation, has a treacherous heart, and brings troubles to the inner court.And I moved Xudu, arbitrarily doing state affairs, secretly distributing wealth and goods, luring bandits, living inexorbitantly, and arrogating too much clothing and business, and the people all complained about it.

In the fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao was domineering and domineering, and repeatedly disrespected the emperor. He even made a dragon robe and ascended the throne.Loyal ministers Dong Cheng, Zhong Ji, Wu Zilan, Wang Zifu and his concubine Dong Shi wanted to punish them because of their treachery, but they were framed instead.

For Cao Cao's crime, it is not enough to punish the evil unless it is punished, and it is not enough to rectify it without edicting the world.All over the world, from the public officials to the civilians, hope to stand up with bare arms, and go to the country together to relieve my worries.
-
Yuan Ke, who was like a treasure, had a rare moment of patience, and did not immediately bring up the matter with Tian Feng.After parting ways with Ji Ping, he returned to the inn as usual to think about future plans.

Xiao Yi's gift is so easy to use, it can make no matter how many ordinary people with no combat experience burst out their greatest potential, such a treasure must be used as soon as possible.

Moreover, now that he has a foothold like Qingsong Ridge, he may be able to send the believers he had won over in batches and hand them over to Yan Liang for training-a hero like him is enough to command hundreds of thousands of troops. Hundreds of thousands of recruits are naturally easy to catch.

However, he also knew in his heart that the news of Tang Jiang's death would reach Xiahou Dun's ears sooner or later, so there was not much time left for him.

He spent the whole day absent-mindedly like this, Wu Yueyin saw his thoughts, so he didn't ask any more questions, but thoughtfully prepared a few more side dishes for him to supplement his nutrition.

Finally, the sun went down, and the noisy city of Xudu gradually quieted down.Yuan Ke invited Tian Feng impatiently, and the two sat opposite each other and drank.

There are also shredded pickles on the table to accompany the wine.

Yuan Ke told Tian Feng every detail of his experience since he went to Qingsongling, and when he talked about his experience of meeting the emperor in the palace last night, he was even more meticulous, trying not to miss a single detail.

Tian Feng listened very carefully, sometimes nodding, sometimes meditating, fulfilling the most dedicated responsibility of a listener.

"Mr. Tian, ​​what do you think I should do?" Yuan Ke asked sincerely after finishing his speech.

Tian Feng took a leisurely sip of his wine and asked back: "Young master seems to have an answer in his heart, why don't you tell me first."

Yuan Ke said: "I want to send someone to bring this secret edict to my father as soon as possible. Do you think it is appropriate?"

"Yes." Tian Feng put down his wine glass and stared at him with a half-smile, "The reason why Cao Cao dared to confront Yuan Gong, and the reason why Xun Yu and his like dared to say 'four victories' and 'four invincibles' is nothing more than Relying on the fact that the emperor is under their control, their meaning is the emperor's meaning, and the princes of all walks of life dare not come clearly. Now, as long as Yuan Gong announces this edict to the world, Cao Cao's advantage will immediately disappear, and it will never be No chance."

Yuan Ke nodded and said: "Mr. Tian's analysis is correct, I will send Xu him to deliver the letter tonight."

"Wait a minute, son." Tian Feng said, "Gong Yu, I have to say these things; but privately, I have something else to tell you."

Generally, the words after "but" are ten times as important as the long speeches in front.Yuan Ke was overjoyed, poured another glass of wine for him, and said respectfully, "Please enlighten me, Mr. Tian!"

Tian Feng said: "I heard that Yuan and Cao have already faced each other in Guandu. The situation is not what it used to be. Even in Xudu City, there is a strict curfew. This edict can really be sent to Duke Yuan smoothly. Is it in your hands, maybe? It’s okay for Xu to deliver the letter successfully, but what if he is caught halfway? Then not only himself and our group, but even the emperor will be implicated. At that time, do we count? What about the sinners of the Han Dynasty?"

"This..." Yuan Ke was momentarily at a loss for words, "What if I deliver the letter myself?"

"With your son's ability, it shouldn't be a big problem to bring the edict to Guandu." Tian Feng said, "But can you really hand over this edict to Duke Yuan?"

Yuan Ke wondered: "What does this mean? Is father not in Guandu?"

Tian Feng smiled and said: "Not only Yuan Gong is in Guandu, but the eldest son and third son are also in Guandu. When they see you coming back from Xudu, they know that you must have an important report. Can they just sit back and watch you get the first prize and ignore it?" If you don’t tell me what it is, they won’t let you see Mr. Yuan; and if you say so, they will report to Mr. Yuan on your behalf and take away your credit. Then tell me, Mr. Come on, it took a lot of trouble, didn’t you make a wedding dress for someone else?”

His words hit the nail on the head, and they all stuck in Yuan Ke's heart, causing Yuan Ke to fall into silence.

Seeing that Yuan Ke was wavering, Tian Feng added: "Think about it again, my lord. Why were you willing to risk your life and come to Xudu to lurk in the first place? Isn't it to make great achievements and occupy the position in the successor battle?" Is the situation favorable? It is definitely not wise to let go of our half-finished plan in Xudu and run back to help others."

Yuan Ke was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "If, as Mr. said, I'll keep this matter a secret, is it an act of unfilial piety?"

"If you don't do it because you are afraid of being unfilial, you are short-sighted." Tian Feng said solemnly, "It is always more difficult to keep a business than to start a business. Why don't you think about it, among Yuan Gong's four sons, except You, who can afford this family business? If you don't hide this matter, but let Yuan Shang or Yuan Tan successfully inherit the position of Patriarch with this merit, by that time, you will be able to watch the ancestor's family It is truly unfilial to lose karma in their hands!"

The counselors in the world can be roughly divided into four types.The worst ones only teach you to do bad things, not good ones; the average ones only teach you good things, not bad ones; the high-level ones teach you both good things and bad things ; the few top-notch ones only teach you to do good things—but in their mouths, all bad things are good things. fertilizing weeds.

Tian Feng is probably the fourth type of strategist.

Yuan Ke was completely overwhelmed by his analysis, so he asked again: "Listening to Mr.'s words is better than reading ten years of sage books! So, in Mr.'s opinion, what should I do is the best choice?"
