"Meet your Majesty." Dong Cheng and others walked into the study and saluted Liu Xie.

"My dear friends, please excuse me." Liu Xie raised his hand slightly and said to several people: "I am calling you here this time because I want to talk about Yuan Xi."

"According to what we discussed before, Yuan Xi should be thinking about what I said now."

"I think he should be panic-stricken now, so you can see who will go and talk to him again to ensure that Yuan Xi can agree to go to Jizhou?"

"In addition, after he goes to Jizhou, how should the court cooperate with him so that he can quickly stabilize the situation in Jizhou."

"Another point, if the Zhen family is not available, then who should take the lead and preside over the Jizhou New Deal?"

Liu Xie said calmly.

After everyone heard Liu Xie's words, you looked at me and I looked at you.

Finally, Zhang Yangxian stood up and said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, I think that Jihou can go to see Yuan Xi first."

"Jihou?" Liu Xie was slightly startled when he heard Zhang Yang's words. He did not expect that Zhang Yang would recommend Gongsun Zan.

Liu Xie thought about everyone present, except Gongsun Zan.

You know, Gongsun Zan had a grudge against Yuan Shao. When Yuan Shao was preparing to take over Jizhou, he discussed with Yuan Shao that Han Fu's Jizhou should be divided equally between the two families.

As a result, Yuan Shao deceived Han Fu and ran to tell Han Fu that Gongsun Zan was coming to attack him. Han Fu was so frightened that he ran away overnight and gave up his position as the governor of Jizhou to Yuan Shao.

Later, when Gongsun Zan saw that Yuan Shao had taken Jizhou, he happily ran over to discuss with Yuan Shao, hoping that he could let half of Jizhou out as he had discussed at the time.

But how did Gongsun Zan know that Yuan Shao said he would divide Jizhou equally with Gongsun Zan at that time. He originally hoped to use Gongsun Zan's name to scare Han Fu, but he never thought about dividing Jizhou equally with Gongsun Zan.

Therefore, the envoy sent by Gongsun Zan was humiliated by Yuan Shao and returned to Youzhou in disgrace.

How could Gongsun Zan suffer such a big loss? He immediately ordered his troops and horses to take back the land Yuan Shao promised him.

As for Yuan Shao, he felt that Jizhou was obtained by him with great difficulty, so he would not give it up, so he quickly sent people to fight Gongsun Zan.

But at the beginning, Yuan Shao had not yet integrated the forces of Jizhou, so he allowed Gongsun Zan to attack the hinterland of Jizhou.

But as Yuan Shao took control of Jizhou, and with Ju Yi, the former general of Jizhou, as his general, he defeated Gongsun Zan.

And near the boundary bridge, the White Horse Yi Cong that Gongsun Zan was proud of were almost wiped out. If Zhao Yun hadn't taken more than two thousand White Horse Yi Cong to fight at other times, it is estimated that Gongsun Zan's White Horse Yi Cong would not even have a seed left.

Gongsun Zan, who suffered the defeat at Jieqiao, was forced to retreat to Youzhou and ceased his activities.

However, Yuan Shao was unyielding and continued to use Ju Yi as his general. He began to attack Youbeiping County in Youzhou and besieged Gongsun Zan's hometown Jicheng.

It was also from that time that Gongsun Zan finally wanted to surrender to Liu Xie. Then Gongsun Zan launched his entire army, coming from the Xianbei grassland in the north and entering Liu Xie's territory.

Therefore, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao had a grudge, and they were serious enemies. They were enemies of life and death, and they wished each other would die.

Ask him to persuade Yuan Xi? Even Liu Xie was embarrassed to say this.

However, after Gongsun Zan heard Zhang Yang's words, he did not refute, but lowered his head and thought.

After a long time, Gongsun Zan sighed and said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, I think what the Marquis of Hanoi said is reasonable. I am indeed very familiar with Yuan Shao's family. I am willing to persuade Yuan Xi."

"Jihou, have you figured it out?" Liu Xie looked at Gongsun Zan with some surprise.

"Back to Your Majesty, I have already figured it out." Gongsun Zan nodded, and then continued: "The grudge between me and Yuan Shao is because of the ownership of Jizhou."

"But to put it bluntly, it's just personal gain, so I and Yuan Shao can only have a personal grudge at best."

"And what your Majesty is doing now is for the sake of the great Han Dynasty and the people of the world. This is a public matter and a national policy. No matter how stupid I am, I know that I cannot abolish public service for personal reasons."

"So I am willing to persuade Yuan Xi."

"Furthermore, I have indeed met Yuan Xi several times. Compared to other adults, I am more familiar with Yuan Xi. I am also the best person to persuade Yuan Xi."

Liu Xie heard Gongsun Zan's words and nodded involuntarily. He felt that what Gongsun Zan said was indeed reasonable.

"In this case, then this matter will be left to Jihou."

"Here! I will be able to persuade Yuan Xi to submit to the imperial court and share the imperial court's worries." Gongsun Zan promised Liu Xie.

"Okay, let's put aside Yuan Xi's matter for now. Now let's talk about the Zhen family's matter."

"The Wuji Zhen family is a powerful force in Jizhou. They are in charge of most of the trade in the northern Han Dynasty. It can be said that they are as rich as any country."

"I originally wanted to take the Zhen family into my own hands and let them take the lead in supporting the New Deal in Jizhou."

"But now something like Zhen Mi has happened, if I don't make some response and still let the Zhen family lead Jizhou's new policy as planned, I might not be able to convince the public."

"Also, how to resolve the rumors about Zhen Mi's identity? This matter also needs to be discussed to come up with a result." Liu Xie clicked on the eucalyptus table in front of him and said to the people in his heart.

"This..." After hearing Liu Xie's words, several people were in trouble. This matter about the Zhen family is actually easy to say and difficult to say.

The main problem lies in Zhen Mi's identity. After all, she has the destiny of being an emperor and empress, which is not a secret in Jizhou.

If the Zhen Mi matter cannot be handled well and the Zhen family is directly activated, it will definitely bring unpredictable troubles to the court.

To give you the simplest example, you, Zhen Mi, are destined to be queen, so where is your queen?

Han Dynasty? No, the current emperor of Han Dynasty is Fu Shou. You, Zhen Mi, don’t even have half a cent relationship with the emperor. How can you become the emperor’s empress?

Since you are not the emperor and empress of the Han Dynasty, then the question arises, where are you?

At that time, the rumors will be minor, and some ambitious people may even marry Zhen Mi, then publicize Zhen Mi's identity, shout the slogan "Destiny is my destiny", and carry out rebellion.

If this is the case, Liu Xie will have to ask people to deal with this rebellion.

To be honest, Liu Xie really doesn't want to waste too much energy on this kind of thing.

The outside world is still very big, and a big man like Liu Xie can devote his limited energy to other places instead of fighting within the borders of the big man.

Therefore, in order to prevent the Zhen family from causing trouble in Jizhou, Liu Xie had to find a way to solve the issue of Zhen Mi's identity.

Of course, Liu Xie could also choose to kill the entire Zhen family once and for all.

But the problem is that in this way, Liu Xie will not be able to obtain a steady stream of material support from the Zhen family.

It will also make the Jizhou family fear the Han Dynasty.

This is not what Liu Xie wants. In his opinion, executing the Zhen family is the most efficient way to deal with it.
