Chapter 3: The Art of Doing Nothing. [2]



Summary

. Chapter 3 discusses the concept of the "scattered cavalry," a group of talented individuals appointed to various positions under Emperor Cao Rui. Initially, these roles were filled with distinguished scholars, but the system became corrupted as connections and favoritism took precedence. Meng Kang, for example, secured his position through the influence of Empress Guo, leading to public disdain. Similarly, Mao Ceng, despite his lack of education, joined the ranks, causing embarrassment to more capable individuals like Xia Hou Xuan, who was demoted for being associated with him. Xia Hou Hui, another character, embodies simplicity and integrity, choosing not to engage in the politics of favoritism. He prepares for a family banquet, reflecting on the importance of keeping one's word. The chapter concludes with Emperor Cao Rui recalling Xia Hou Zhi Quan during a court session, hinting at the ongoing dynamics within the imperial court. .
