Self-aware Cao Can

As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Cao Can still had nothing to do, drinking every day and doing almost nothing. In the long run, not only colleagues can't understand, but even Han is impatient. Guo Xiang's duty is to govern the country, intervene in state affairs and solve problems for the emperor. Now Cao Can, as Guo Xiang, doesn't treat things. Does he look down on me because I am young? At that time, Cao Can's son was also an official of North Korea. Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty sent him home to ask his father, "The former emperor entrusted important officials to assist the present emperor, who is still young. As a prime minister, Cao Can drank every day, without asking and reporting to the emperor. How can you think about world affairs? " ? Cao Can's clever son went home to protest against his father and hid Hui Di's words, just taking them as his own opinions. Hearing this, Cao Can flew into a rage, severely slapped him 200 times and scolded, "What do you know, boy? Dare to say world events! Hurry to the palace to serve the emperor! " Cao Can hit his own son, but he offended the emperor Lao Tzu. Emperor Hui of Han was very angry and condemned Cao Can face to face at the meeting. Cao Can naturally pretended to be confused, immediately took off his hat and apologized, and then said, "Please think for yourself. Is your enlightened SHEN WOO comparable to Gaudi?" Hui Di said, "How dare I compare with the former emperors!" Cao Can asked again, "Your Majesty, who is more talented, Xiao He or me?" Hui Di said, "In my opinion, you seem to be inferior to Xiao He." So Cao Can went on to say, "Your Majesty did! Gaudi and Xiao He made laws to live in peace with the world, and everything was unmistakable. Now your majesty just needs to hang down his clothes, hand over his hands and do nothing. I am waiting for a group of courtiers to stick to their posts step by step, follow the original laws and not change them. Isn't that all right? " Hui Di was speechless and had to say, "Good! Cao Can! Now you can go back to rest. "
