Everyone fell silent.
Only Su Ran calmly stepped forward and cupped her hands.""My lord, Yuan Shu was infected with a vicious disease and suddenly died. Please give him a lavish burial.”
Cao Cao regained his senses and looked at Yuan Shu's corpse with a complicated expression. He nodded and said,""Men, carry Yuan Shu's body away and clean it up. Three days later, he will be buried outside Shouchun City.”
A few soldiers came forward and carried Yuan Shu's body down.
After this series of twists and turns, everyone lost interest and walked towards Zhong Tianzi's palace.
On the way, the few of them were a little silent.
Guo Jia, who was beside Cao Cao, smiled and said,"What happened just now should be within Yi An's expectations, right?”
"Do you have any deeper meaning in doing this?”
Cao Cao looked over curiously.
Even Cao Chun, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu were eavesdropping.
Su Ran stopped and cupped her hands at Cao Cao with a solemn expression."My lord, Yuan Shu exploited the people and indulged in pleasure. That's why the people couldn't tolerate him, so he died today.”
"I was born in poverty and know the hardships of the common people. Therefore, I want to use today's matter to advise my lord that in the future, you must treat the common people well, establish the ambition of benevolence and righteousness, keep the heart of benevolence and righteousness, and do things of benevolence and righteousness.”
"You must know that the monarch is the boat, and the people are the water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Everyone was shocked.
Cao Cao kept repeating Su Ran's last words,""Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it…"
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!"
"Well said, Yi An!" Guo Jia grabbed Su Ran's hand excitedly and said," These words contain great principles and the way of governing the country.”
"I said long ago that Yi An not only has the talent of a great scholar, but also a heaven-sent talent.”
Cao Cao, who had regained his senses, looked at Su Ran excitedly. He grabbed Su Ran's other hand and sighed,"It's really the heavens that have given me peace."
"What you did today has taught me a good lesson.”
"Don't worry, I will do as you say and treat the people well.”
Su Ran withdrew her hands without leaving a trace. She took half a step back and bowed deeply."I am satisfied.”
He wanted to use this to tell Cao Cao.
Humble families can also produce noble children. You must put them in an important position and treat the people well.
Although Cao Cao still needed to rely on the aristocratic families, after his mindset changed, he would slowly promote the descendants of the lesser families.
So it was.
It could be considered that he had done his part for the Humble Class.
"But…"
"Yi An, I have another matter that I hope you can agree to.”
Cao Cao suddenly changed the topic and looked at Su Ran with a deep gaze.
"My lord, if you have anything to say, just say it.”
Su Ran felt a little nauseated by Cao Cao's gaze and quickly said," I won't refuse if I can do it."”
"It's like this."
Cao Cao pondered for a moment before saying," My son, Cao Ang, has been intelligent since he was young. Although he is young now, he still has the demeanor of me back then.”
"I wanted to find a qualified teacher to teach him, so that he could be in charge of military affairs and politics. However, I didn't have any good candidates until I met Yi An.”
"Yi An is skilled in both literature and martial arts, and he has the talent of a great scholar. In addition, you saved Ang 'er's life in Wan City, so he respects you very much.”
"I want you to teach him. How about it?”
Su Ran looked at Cao Cao in shock.
He wanted him to be Cao Ang's teacher?
If nothing unexpected happened, Cao Ang would most likely be Cao Cao's successor.
If he went to teach Cao Ang, he would be indebted to Cao Ang in the future.
In the Great Han Dynasty, where teachers were respected like fathers.
The value and status of a teacher was self-evident.
He only needed to nod in agreement.
To keep the world safe.
Moreover, he was born in a Humble Class. If he went to teach Cao Ang, he would definitely impart some views that were not in line with the aristocratic families.
Cao Cao knew this.
However, Cao Cao still did this. Did this mean that Cao Cao also had the heart to support the Humble Class?
Thinking about it, it made sense.
The aristocratic families were deeply intertwined and connected with each other. If they wanted to support the Han Dynasty and unify it again, they had to balance the aristocratic families.
If that was the case…
This was exactly what he wanted.
However, even though he looked glorious, his foundation wasn't stable, and it was difficult for him to compete with the aristocratic families.
He couldn't just stand out and become Cao Ang's teacher, becoming a thorn in the side of the aristocratic families.
For now, it was better to keep a low profile.
Thinking of this, Su Ran shook her head and refused,"My lord, I'm used to being undisciplined and like to live a free life. I'm afraid I can't agree.”
Cao Cao looked regretful, but he didn't force it.
There were countless people who wanted to teach Cao Ang, and among them were many aristocratic families.
Those people wanted to use this opportunity to interfere in the Cao family's matters, which was why he had never agreed.
On the other hand, Su Ran was alone and talented. She was the best candidate in his heart.
However, when he came back to his senses and thought about it.
This matter was rather abrupt and anxious.
If Su Ran agreed to this matter, it would probably attract the jealousy of countless people.
Perhaps he would lose such a great talent.
It was not good!
"Forget it, let's talk about this later."
Cao Cao smiled and brushed the matter aside.
The few of them no longer talked about serious matters, but instead talked about some harmless jokes.
