Chapter 2687 Speaking and talking
"What is your Majesty doing?"
『Another celebration?』
"This man...what is that? Is it still a celebration?"
"Hey, this is the special need for celebration..."
"It's up to me to say that this emperor is the emperor, and it's the emperor without celebrating!"
"You're interesting, if it's the other way around..."
"Hahaha, but this time, the emperor looks a little bit like a emperor! It's really our blessing!"
"That's right, the Emperor of Han, I always have to look like the Emperor of Han..."
"But if this happens, some people should be unhappy?"
"Shh! Don't you want to live?"
"I just said that..."
The man was whispering and talking, while walking away.
For most ordinary gentry children in Xu County, they only realize this level. They see it just a celebration, but some people will still see more and think more deeply.
These people who see more and think further are often among the wealthy families of aristocratic families.
A century-old family has not only accumulated money.
Just like Xun's family.
Xun Wang died and died of old age in prison.
No matter whether it is a hide-and-seek death or how it dies, it is dead anyway.
The day after the news came out after Xun Wang's death, Xun may come back.
What a coincidence.
Well, that's such a coincidence.
Xun May quickly calmed down the chaos within the Xun family.
Then Xun Wang, well, who is Xun Wang?
Many people have begun to say that they are not in good spirits recently and their memories have begun to decline.
After Xun Shuang died, as one of the few elders in the Xun family, Xun Wang and Xun Or did not get along well. Having said that, Xun Wang really hated Xun Or so much. What deep hatred does Xun Or have with Xun Or?
Not.
The conflict between them is not an individual conflict, but a factional issue.
To some extent, the two of them are also another battle between conservatives and improvementists.
You may not see smoke, but you may see blood.
Xun Wang represents the conservative. Maybe he was indeed dissatisfied with Xun at the beginning, but more importantly, since he represented the interests of the conservative faction, he had to confront Xun or tit for tit.
Xun either tended to reform, or more accurately, reform. He was a royalist, but not a completely conservative. He agreed to reform, but did not agree to drastic revolution. So he chose Cao Cao instead of the more conservative Yuan Shao.
That's right, if the gun is in his hand, the great gentry will "listen" to whom, at least they are on the surface and respectful, but in fact?
Was the sword that King Zhou of Shang taken was not good? Are there enough people killed? Are the punishments cruel enough? Did the tribe leader at that time listen to the local princes? Did he ask Xibo to eat his children's meat, so would he eat it obediently?
Of course, the matter of food is true or false, but what is interesting is that most people will recognize this matter or are willing to sing it out, what does it mean?
Qin Shihuang cut leeks in the six countries. Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty inherited the tradition of Qin Shihuang and continued to cut them. However, after only one or two hundred years, the leeks could not be cut. By the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shandong was in turn superior to Guanzhong and began to cut leeks in Shanxi, Guanzhong, and why?
At this time, whose hands is the big man's gun?
When did you change hands?
These things are something that those who only think about fighting and killing all day long are unwilling to think about, but they are gradually being plotted against in this process of not thinking.
Xun's expression is neither sad nor happy, nor angry or shocked.
It was just like this after he learned about Xun Wang's death.
It seems to have been expected.
"What are you going to do?" Guo Jia swayed, leaning and lying halfway, supporting her with her hands, swaying the wine gourd, and said carelessly, "The emperor... hasn't made any progress..."
"The emperor is still a child." Xun's voice is mediocre.
"Ahha!" Guo Jia's tone was ups and downs. The two words "Ahha" changed at least four tones, "Can the child do it nonsense?"
Obviously, Guo Jia doesn't like the excuse of "he is still a child".
After all, when Guo Jia was a child, no one gave in to him. He gave him a bite of food and a sip of soup. He was punished for doing something wrong. So why should he let other people's children mess around now?
So Guo Jia never bears it. If a gentleman has a grudge, he will avenge that night. If he cannot repay that night, he will avenge tomorrow. As for whom he cannot repay tomorrow, it may take a long time.
For example, what happened to Guo Jia in Guanzhong. Guo Jia swayed the wine gourd and suddenly felt a little emotional. From a certain perspective, he was indeed insulted, whether in terms of IQ or human nature, but also helped and grew up, and even physically, it was Chang'an Hundred Medical Center...
Forget it. Guo Jia withdrew his divergent thoughts, "What are you going to do?"
Xun Or was silent for a while, "What should I do if it's not me, it's the cavalry..."
"Carrior?" Guo Jia frowned, then took a breath, "I understand... So, is it a conspiracy?"
"On Conspiracy." Xun nodded.
『Hmm…』 Guo Jia pondered and took a sip of wine, 『Then it was really difficult.
Xun Or was silent for a longer time, then slowly said: "Sometimes... I'm very worried..."
Guo Jia stopped talking.
Xun Or and Guo Jia have been working hard all the time, wanting to break the plot with open plans, but the actual operation is not ideal. In other words, although it has achieved some results, it has not achieved the results that Xun Or and others want to achieve.
Just like what Xun or the "Chief Conspiracy" mentioned this time, it is simple, but also very simple.
But if it is complicated, it is quite complicated.
Conservatives are those who have the main forces of the landlord class of large and small in Jizhou, Yuzhou. These people began to exert their efforts during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and overthrew the Shanxi Group in one fell swoop, becoming the largest profit group in the Eastern Han Dynasty. They also kidnapped the family of the Eastern Han emperors, and made the Eastern Han emperors have their own colors and tastes.
So why did these landlords of Jizhou, big and small, dare to show their swords and guns with Guanzhong, Shanxi at the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty?
Because the economic focus of the Eastern Han Dynasty had shifted to Jizhou and Yuzhou at that time. Whether it was food and grass or goods, most of them came from Shandong than Shanxi, especially because of the troubles of the Western Qiang and the Xiongnu, Guanzhong was exhausted.
During the Western Han Dynasty, Shandong was not united. Even if someone wanted to cause trouble, no matter whether it was the six or seven countries, they had their own thoughts, so even if it was a rebellion, it was quickly quelled and there was no trace of the waves.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it became a problem in Guanzhong and Shanxi's own camp. The people of Shandong were united under Liu Xiu. In order to gather most of the power, the position of the queen was changed. Therefore, Guanzhong could not defeat Shandong. After a little oppression, internal conflicts broke out. They were all worried about being chaotic. They would die if they were not killed. They would run faster than anyone else.
Therefore, it is indeed not difficult and simple to kill those opponents with swords and guns. But the most important thing is not to kill people, but to have a prerequisite, that is, the core level of thought must be absolutely unified, otherwise it may be like Sun Ce from Jiangdong. He just raised his knife and slashed a few times, and someone was stabbed in the back.
There is also the later generations of Li Zicheng who played poker and landlords. He played very smoothly at the beginning and could win even if his cards were bad. Why? Because it doesn’t matter if Li Zicheng’s cards are bad, as long as his friendly cards are good, even the landlords can dismantle good cards and play singles, so Li Zicheng can win without playing cards.
In the early days of Li Zicheng, he really won many landlords, drinking, eating meat and playing with the landlord’s wife. The rest of the landlords didn’t dare to give one more. Anyway, they weren’t playing with their own family, so what’s the matter?
But when Li Zicheng was in the late stage, the army had more troops than when he was in the previous rebellion, and the equipment was better than when he first played cards, and the generals led the troops, people, horses, money, grain, and other things. Isn't that better than the bad card he had played on the poker table at the beginning?
Then, a handful of sprints and several shiny ones.
A bad card can win, but a good card can lose all of it. Why?
Because when the cards are bad, those who sit at the table hope that the biggest chipper will fall down, and everyone is friends. When they get good cards, Li Zicheng himself becomes the biggest chipper, and everyone is an enemy, or a potential enemy.
In the game, not only is the dealer rebelling, the referee being distracted, the upper and lower families connected, but the audience even stood on the other side. Can Li Zicheng still win such a game?
Li Zicheng continued to hold swords and guns, but even the swords and guns were about to run away. Who else could he kill? He could only kill himself?
The core is not overturned, there is no problem with the bad card.
Once the core is turned down, no matter how good the card is, it will be useless.
The core of the General of the Cavalry is very stable and there is no problem. Cao Cao, Xun, or Guo Jia and others are wise and wise, that is, they are just small-scale and can't make trouble. Could it be that they really send troops to sit in front of Tongguan, Hangu?
On the contrary, the core layer here in Shandong has always been unstable.
Needless to say, Cao Cao has always been focusing on the core level, and from the beginning to the end, it has been a military government system with the Xiahou clan as the core. However, the problem is that the people of the Xiahou clan of the Cao clan are of varying quality. Although there is generally little problem, those declining and corrupt areas will sooner or later have problems if they encounter strong pressure.
Yuan Shao, who originally attempted to re-enact the old route like Guangwu and Liu Xiu reborn, has proved with his life that the present is different from the past. Jizhou and Yuzhou are each unable to unite as in the late Western Han Dynasty. Even Yuan Shao's younger brother and his good friend Cao Cao were able to resist Jizhou and defeat the strong with the weak, which means that not only Shandong cannot be integrated, but there are constant disputes within Jizhou, so why are you talking about unified thinking?
Cao Cao knew about this problem, Xun or understood, Guo Jiatongda.
Then now even the Emperor Liu Xie knew...
So the emperor wants to hold a "celebration".
Those who understand, hold chips, sit or stand, and wait for bets.
People who don’t understand become bargaining chips and are crushed on the poker table.
The emperor's "celebration" this time was a card that Liu Xie opened.
The one who gave the emperor the courage to open this card was not a lady, but the "audiences" before, those who stood under the palace wall and trembled as Cao Cao killed.
If it weren't for the people under the palace gate in Xu County, Liu Xie might not have been so radical. Of course, this is just maybe. But it is certain that in the face of such a situation, everyone will be stimulated to a certain extent. Although it may not be said or done on the spot, it does not mean that they will never say or do it in the future.
Does anyone want to be cut like a leek next time?
Therefore, they first found Kong Rong, spoke out through Kong Rong's mouth, and then revealed the "voice of the heart" to Emperor Liu Xie through the Kong Rong incident...
If it were Liu Xie a few years ago, he might not have noticed these voices, but after several years of struggle, he heard it, so he turned it out.
Moving to the Shangshu Desk, one.
Want to hold a celebration, the second one.
And who gave these "audiences" the confidence to support Liu Xie in flip the cards? It's not someone else, it's Fei Qian. It's the "courage" that Fei Qian brought to the landlords of all sizes in Jizhou and Yuzhou.
"Bachelor of Agriculture and Engineering..." Xun Ren sighed long, "I think about it now, this move... is simply..."
『It seems to be leisurely, but it is actually terrifying.』 Guo Jia tsk, 『But aren't you also fighting back now? Well, although it's a bit late, at least it's better than that."
Xun may be silent.
As Guo Jia said, Xun may have begun to seek solutions since he realized this problem. He not only trained poor students who replaced those bachelors of agriculture and engineering, but also began to investigate spies among these bachelors of agriculture and engineering, and he did achieve certain results.
But there are only certain results.
Because the bachelor of Agriculture and Industry brought about increased income from land and enhanced strength of landlords of all sizes.
As for this, when these bachelors of Agriculture and Engineering first arrived in Shandong, no one realized that this was actually a glass of poison wine. It seemed sweet, but in fact it would rot after drinking it.
The landlords of all sizes can get more harvests, which seems to have enhanced Cao Cao's strength, but in fact it is not, because most of the fields are not Cao Cao's. Even though Cao Cao has added a lot of military farms to directly obtain grain and grass, in most of the land in Jizhou and Yuzhou, the land is still local gentry, and the gentry families are managing and organizing personnel to plant.
If Cao Cao had developed in history, he would have been defeated in the Battle of Chibi until after the massive damage to the direct troops, which deviated from the balance of strength. At the same time, because Cao Cao grew older, he shifted from the strategic focus of expanding territory to cultivating the next generation.
Before the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao suppressed these landlords, including the emperor Liu Xie, to rub against the ground.
But now it's different, Cao Cao can't hold back...
The reason is that landlords of all sizes eat better, more, stronger, and more violently resist, and they can't just enjoy it if they can't resist like they did in history.
All of this is ultimately because Fei Qian sent a bachelor of Agriculture and Engineering.
The bachelor of Agriculture was free at the time and did not require any return.
In this era of information explosion in later generations, there were still many traps that people fell into. In the current Han Dynasty, even if there were people like Xun or Guo Jia, they would be suspicious and vigilant, but they could not resist the others' pleasure and jump in.
"This matter has been reported to the lord..." Xun Or raised his head slightly and looked into the distance.
Guo Jia nodded, then shook his head again, and sighed, "It's hard. It's not difficult for the lord, it's hard for the lord."
Xun Or frowned slightly, but quickly understood Guo Jia's meaning, and then he couldn't control his calm expression and sighed.
Cao Cao was talented and had great determination and perseverance.
Xiahou Dun is mellow and upright, loyal.
As the leaders of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, both Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun are very qualified and even very co-starring. They trust each other and rely on each other, so they can deliver their backs to each other with complete peace of mind. There is nothing they will hide or deceive each other. They are two rare leaders.
But not all the surname Cao is Cao Cao.
Not all Xiahou’s surname is Xiahou Dun.
Before, almost everyone thought that the Feiqian tribe had fewer people, which was a big weakness.
But now someone suddenly realized that the Feiqian tribe had fewer people, which was a great advantage.
"Master... should..." Xun said a few words softly, then stopped, and did not continue.
When Guo Jia heard this, he shook his head helplessly. Because since Xun Or said the word "should", it means Xun Or himself is not sure.
『Actually, there is a strategy to deal with..." Guo Jia glanced at Xun Or, "It's just that you don't want to use it."
Xun or raised his head, "People who are filial to them...a gentleman should have his virtue..."
Guo Jia waved his hand and said, "Hey, I'm not a gentleman, I'm not worthy, you're a gentleman... But look, this gentleman is not that easy to be..."
Xun Or watched the clouds in the sky slowly stretch and move, and the sound became lighter, "The big man... should there be a gentleman..."
『Tsk!』 Guo Jia shook the wine gourd and shook his head, 『You never thought about what if one day your gentleman is not a gentleman anymore?』
Xun or lowered his head, seemed to be laughing, but it seemed to be not, "Then maybe... it's not a big man..."
Guo Jia frowned, picked up the wine gourd and poured it into his mouth, but he didn't know when the wine gourd had been empty, and just poured out a few drops, and there was no wine.
Guo Jia shook the wine gourd up and down a few more times, but still did not pour out the wine. He couldn't help but throw the wine gourd aside with a little anger, then stood up, muttering, "I... really... don't want to worry about it anymore..."
After muttering a few words, Guo Jia not only did not get angry, but became more and more angry. He turned around and shouted to Xun Or, "Why are you? No one will thank you for what you did! No one will!"
"Fengxiao." Xun or frowned.
"The emperor will not think you are loyal! The lord does not think you are fulfilling your responsibility!" Guo Jia waved his arm, and the blue veins on his forehead were pounding. "Even your tribe members don't think you are fulfilling your filial piety! You have done so much, but no one will thank you! You will just scold you! Slander you! In the end, you will destroy you!"
Xun Or raised his eyes and looked at Guo Jia, "So filial piety...what are you?"
『I…』 Guo Jia was stunned as if he had been used to impose a fixed technique, then lay down and closed his eyes, 『I… I’ll be angry to death by you… I’ll be angry to death by you… I’m not the only one of you… Isn’t the other ones the Han? Forget it, let’s not say anything, I’m going to sleep… Before you get angry to death by you, I’ll drink more wine and have a sleep…』
"Then you go to sleep in the room." Xun said.
Guo Jia hummed twice, turned around, and gave Xun Ren the back of his head, ignoring him and not moving.
