"Excellent poem! This poem by Magistrate Guo will surely be remembered for eternity!"
As everyone looked, it was none other than Kong Rong, the Taichung Daifu who was summoned back from Beihai by Emperor Cao Cao. This time, Kong Rong requested to join the army using the excuse, "Tao Gongzhu's actions show no respect for a ruler or father; he is truly a beast! We, as men, must risk our lives to eliminate him with arrows and stones!" Naturally, Cao Cao had no reason to refuse.
Kong Rong's words surprised Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai, Xun You, and Cheng Yu. It's worth mentioning that Kong Rong rarely criticizes people, so it's really unbelievable that he actually praised someone today. Please note that the @ symbol is not commonly used in translations and does not carry any specific meaning in this context.
Kong Rong, since entering the court as an official, has been offending people everywhere. The reason lies in the fact that Kong Rong is simply too "brain-dead", even Cao Cao, who is usually tolerant and generous, has the urge to punch him. Kong Rong is the most careless about details in his daily life, which can be called free-spirited in a positive way or reckless in a negative way. Moreover, Kong Rong's ideas are overly simplistic, or rather, they can be described as the fantasies of an intellectual. Please note that the above translation aims to maintain the tonality and meaning of the original text, but it may not accurately reflect the intended message or viewpoint.
This guy once suggested that Cao Cao transfer power to the emperor and advised him to accept the feudal lords from all directions, co-governing with them, and helping the emperor pacify the whole country, creating an era of peace and prosperity. To be honest, if those feudal lords really had no intention of rebellion and sincerely served the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao wouldn't mind giving up his position to them. He would be glad to retire, spend his days drinking, composing poetry, accompanying his family, supporting his elderly father, and enjoying a carefree life of horseback riding and hunting in the mountains and forests, like a celestial being. But those feudal lords would never be able to do it. If they ever did, I would be damned if I, Cao Cao, didn't take my own life to show gratitude to the world!
In Guo Jia's mind, Kong Rong is simply a scholar, a man of letters. What he should do is immerse himself in his studies instead of getting involved in the chaotic affairs of the court. While self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and peace under heaven are the aspirations of every scholar, they should also be adapted to individual circumstances. Kong Rong is a very pure scholar who doesn't understand the intrigues and cunning in the court. If he were to be thrown into the court, he would be torn to pieces sooner or later, with not even bone fragments left. It would be better for him to focus on his studies, to ask a few questions when he feels like it, and to ignore them when he doesn't. By remaining detached from worldly matters, he could protect himself. If Kong Rong could really achieve this in history, perhaps Cao Cao wouldn't have ruthlessly annihilated him and his family.
不过所幸目前的曹操也知道孔融不是真的有意和他对着干，纯粹只是想法太天真而已，加上他也没有得寸进尺，所以曹操始终保持对这位大儒的宽容大度。
Guo Jia finally understood that his poetry was extremely presumptuous, just like Kong Rong who was also a wild and unrestrained person. Otherwise, he would not have become close friends with Nie Heng and Yang Xiu, who were also arrogant and talented individuals.
“文举公谬赞。”
However, Guo Jia showed a humility that completely contradicted the previous lines of poetry, which greatly pleased Kong Rong. Although he was proud and arrogant, who wouldn't have a favorable impression of someone who is humble?
"Hehe, in the future, come to my residence more often and we can discuss poetry and literature."
Guo Jia nodded, and a joyful feast passed in this atmosphere.
However, in a corner of the big tent, there was a middle-aged scholar secretly observing everything and snorted coldly.
"The country that takes pleasure in oppressing others is not a benevolent force. I would rather bear the burden of the whole world than let the world bear the burden of me. Ha, Cao Mengde, you were like this five years ago, and five years later, you remain the same."
He finished speaking and left with a wave of his sleeve.
The middle-aged scholar's name was Chen Gong.
Five years ago, he was the county magistrate in Zhongmu County and captured Cao Cao, who was wanted for attempting to assassinate Dong Zhuo. At that time, Chen Gong was filled with righteous fervor and discontent with Dong Zhuo's control over the court, his abolition and poisoning of the young Emperor Liu Bian, and his indiscriminate killings that oppressed the people. Hence, after a candlelit conversation with Cao Cao in the prison cell, Chen Gong chose to release him and resigned from his official position.
He thought he had encountered a wise ruler for life, who could assist in restoring peace to the Han Dynasty and bring harmony to the world. However, later he realized he was wrong. He could never forget that dark and stormy night when Cao Cao, covered in blood, held the Green Destiny sword, appearing like a demon. Upon finding out that it was all a misunderstanding, Cao Cao still killed the remaining few people in his uncle Lv Boshe's home. He understood Cao Cao's fear of being captured by the authorities after mistakenly killing innocent people. But when they encountered an unaware Lv Boshe, Cao Cao hesitated for a moment and then killed him. translated content:
他质问过曹操为什么要杀吕伯奢，为什么不能骗吕伯奢说是董卓的人马来了，至少不必错上加错！可是曹操冷冷地看着他，眼神中尽是冷漠和杀意，嘴里吐露出了一句令他感到五雷轰顶的话。
"I'd rather be defeated by everyone in the world than let everyone in the world defeat me!"
曹操用袖子抹了抹剑上的鲜血，没有回头，漠然翻身上马。
陈宫的心，在这一刻，凉了。这不是仁主明君，而是一个枭雄，一个绝世枭雄。
Later, he left Cao Cao under the cover of night. Before his departure, he had considered killing this future unparalleled warlord to prevent another Dong Zhuo. However, in the end, he couldn't bring himself to harm his master. He ultimately couldn't go through with regicide; he simply wasn't a heartless person.
"Cao Mengde, today I, Chen Gongtai, will spare your life, but our relationship ends here." Chen Gong said solemnly to the sleeping Cao Cao.
From then on, Chen Gong left Cao Cao and joined the emperor, advising and strategizing for Wang Yun. He used divisive tactics to create a rift between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, ultimately assassinating Dong Zhuo. Unfortunately, after Wang Yun achieved his goal, he became arrogant and refused to listen to advice, insisting on annihilating the Xiliang Army.
However, Chen Gong still accompanied Emperor Liu Xie and secretly advised him. Now, he has coincidentally returned to Cao Cao's side, but his purpose has changed. He wants to keep an eye on Cao Cao for the Emperor, ensuring that he does not become the next Dong Zhuo.
陈宫此生，效力天子，绝无二心。若曹孟德有异心，他定诛杀曹操，辅佐天子，匡扶汉室！

pps: Today, the teacher in my editorial department told me that my news article was published in the school newspaper, and I earn half a yuan for each character. Since my article has over 1,100 words, I earned more than 500 yuan... Ai, it feels like I earned more from writing than actually writing. Laughing and crying emoji. I have a few more tasks these days, such as interviewing outstanding graduates, so the update time may be a bit unstable, but I promise to update twice a day. Don't worry, everyone.
