Everyone's happiness and sadness are not the same. It would be great if we could empathize with each other, but most of the time it is just gloating about others' misfortunes, or why are you happy?
"The battle at Tongguan in Heluo was fierce. The Prime Minister commanded the army and rushed to attack the pass on the fifth day of the first lunar month. The pass was steep and the plateau was high and the city was strong. According to reports from the officials in front of the battle, there were nearly ten new artillery pieces and nearly a hundred ballistae at Tongguan.
More than a hundred stones were thrown, cannons rained like rain every day, and crossbows and arrows blocked the sky. Although the prime minister came to the battle line, the soldiers were high-spirited and fearless of the powerful enemy, killing and wounding thousands of thieves, but our army also suffered losses.
serious……"
"The military advisor of the rear, Boning, wrote to request for the allocation of 300,000 bows and arrows, 3,000 armors, military pay, grain, grass, iron materials and other sundries, and also asked for 5,000 civilians from Qingzhou and Xuzhou to assist in transportation..."
In Chongde Hall, Zhong Yao's voice was steady.
Liu Xie listened quietly.
Zhong Yao seemed to face Liu Xie calmly, not feeling any embarrassment at all, and Liu Xie also did not show anger or other emotions, as if he still trusted Zhong Yao.
Today, it is Zhong Yao's turn to describe some current changes to Liu Xie, and the biggest current event is naturally the war.
As the king of a country and the lord of the world, Liu Xie certainly has the responsibility for such a big event, and he must know, understand, and master it...
But unfortunately, these matters are often not decided by him. Even if he gives some opinions, they may not have any effect. More often than not, he is like an archives. Only when entering the final reporting stage,
Only then will the information be delivered to him.
"Besides..." Zhong Yao muttered slowly, there were some matters related to other states and counties, but compared with the Guanzhong War, those matters were too small, so Zhong Yao quickly ignored them.
pass.
Liu Xie still didn't express any opinions, just nodded or said he understood.
After a while, Zhong Yao finished reading all the summaries of current affairs, looked up at Liu Xie, and moved his lips.
Liu Xie looked at Zhong Yao calmly and smiled.
Like a carved Buddha statue.
Zhong Yao didn't know why, he felt a little cold in his heart. He was silent for a while, then he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please relax, the Prime Minister will conquer Guanzhong... By then the world will be at peace, the sea will be peaceful, the hearts of the Han people will be greatly boosted, and ZTE is expected to be revived. Your Majesty will
The sage will also remain in the history of history, and will be praised by future generations for eternity..."
Liu Xie squinted at Zhong Yao and nodded slightly.
Is this Zhong Yao looking for an excuse for himself?
Liu Xieru thought.
Liu Xie is no longer a young man, or in other words, he has lost the qualification to be impulsive. He is not satisfied with Zhong Yao, but he still asks Zhong Yao to accompany him. In his heart, he hates Zhong Yao for taking money and not doing anything, but on the surface he still insists on doing things.
Dear beloved.
Has he grown up?
Perhaps, but more importantly, he has become what he originally disliked the most.
Just like at this moment, Liu Xie was thinking about what these gentry and gentry in Yuzhou or Jizhou would say after this recruitment and recruitment, and what would they do?
"Actually, I really don't care about these false reputations..." Liu Xie said slowly, "If I can exchange false fame for the peace of the world, I would rather remain unknown in this life... Seeing that spring is coming, I wonder if Mr. Zhong Ai knows that the government has made preparations for farming?
The foundation of the great Han Dynasty lies in farming and mulberry..."
Liu Xie said, and even he believed it, and said with some emotion: "Why are the people in the world suffering! They work all year round, but they only ask for a basket of food and clothes... I have not been able to make the Han people live and work in peace and contentment in these years.
The hard work is really my fault..."
Zhong Yao hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty is a wise man who can follow Yao and Shun. With Your Majesty like this, the great man is very lucky, and all the people in the world are very lucky!"
Liu Xie didn't talk about the situation of the Tongguan War, nor did he ask Cao Cao how the current progress was. He just talked about the people and asked about spring plowing. Zhong Yao seemed to have forgotten that he had just reported the military report to Liu Xie, and changed the subject very naturally.
He talked about Nong Sang as if he had never mentioned any war before.
Liu Xie sneered in his heart.
Now he finally understands that these guys are all the same.
This is true whether it is Fei Qian, Cao Cao, or Zhong Yao in front of him...
Liu Xie's career as emperor went through three very important stages.
One is during the Dong Zhuo period. At that time, he didn't know what an emperor was or what imperial power was. Of course, Dong Zhuo put him in power because he didn't understand anything. If he really understood, he wouldn't choose him. Therefore, Dong Zhuo sleeps with the dragon.
Having sex with palace maids in bed was nothing to Liu Xie at that time, because he didn't think that the dragon bed and the palace maids had anything to do with him. At this time, Liu Xie was ignorant, ignorant, and at a loss.
But even the most ignorant person can detect the attitude of others towards him. Children are more sensitive to good intentions and malice, or more superficial. Those who smile are good people, and those who are angry are bad people.
This period of ignorance lasted until Wang Yun came to power and Li Guo came to power.
The process of seizing power by force was of course bloody. This also left the fear of force in Liu Xie's heart, so much so that even after Fei Qian took control of Guanzhong, he still wanted to escape.
The second stage is the early stage of transfer from Guanzhong to Shandong.
This can be regarded as Liu Xie's happiest time.
At the beginning of Liu Xie's journey, it was hard, but when you have hope in your heart, the physical fatigue can be endured. In addition, most of the officials who moved to Guanzhong with Liu Xie were Shandong people, so
Of course, everyone around Liu Xie said that Shandong is good...
In the early days, in order to gain the title of emperor, Cao Cao also had a good attitude toward Liu Xie. He also built a palace for Liu Xie in Xu County, selected beautiful women, and had exquisite meals and clothing. The two of them were naturally very good to each other.
.It was also during this period that Liu Xie slowly realized what imperial power was, and began to have frequent contact with Shandong veterans, and began to learn how to be an emperor.
From the time Liu Xie began to want to master the imperial power, he entered the third stage, competing with the prime minister, colliding, fighting, and losing...
And I don’t know since when, when Liu Xie heard the name "Cao Cao", his heart would always skip a beat, but it was also during this period that Liu Xie began to learn how to pretend, how to hide his emotions, how to make innuendo...
For Liu Xie, Cao Cao, Feiqian and others were actually not fundamentally different from Dong Zhuo. Maybe their methods were slightly different and their attitudes were quite different, but in fact they were all trying to usurp the imperial power in Liu Xie's hands.
This is a contradiction that can never be compromised.
Even if the balance is barely maintained, it will gradually begin to tilt over time.
After another failed investment in Zhong Yao, Liu Xie learned from the pain... Well, although this kind of thinking may not have much effect, at least Liu Xie discovered one thing... These guys, no matter who they are, are not standing
On Liu Xie's side, that is to say, the solitary person that the emperor often refers to is the real "lonely person", not just a modest name.
The emperor's imperial power is unparalleled in the world, so naturally he is the enemy of the whole world.
The Zhong Yao in front of him looks honest and sincere, but is actually shrewd. There is not much difference between him and other officials. They all know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. This time he has brought the so-called latest frontline intelligence, which may not be the other way around.
He was trying to get Liu Xie to state something or issue some instructions.
Liu Xie noticed Zhong Yao's temptation, so he did not make any comments on Cao Cao's military affairs. He just talked about farming and mulberry trees and the people of the world. These are all clichés, but they are also righteousness that can never be wrong...
Unable to get the response he originally expected from Liu Xie, Zhong Yao left the palace expressionlessly.
Whether they are Jizhou people or Yuzhou people, they all know that Cao Cao is now a separatist prince and a copy of Dong Zhuo. However, Cao Cao's copy of Dong Zhuo still pays attention to some rules, or at least is willing to follow the rules. In addition, there is no one in Shandong at the moment.
No one can compete with Cao Cao alone, so many people will not go against Cao Cao openly.
As long as Cao Cao doesn't go too far...
After all, compared with Fei Qian, Cao Cao is still willing to maintain the original form of Shandong, especially for the upper economic class and the ruling class. Although Cao Cao also promotes children from poor families, he does not completely switch to the other side. Cao Cao's behavior is natural
It was regarded as a threat rather than a rebellion by the original vested interest groups of the Han Dynasty.
It was Fei Qian who rebelled!
For this reason, Shandong people hate Fei Qian very much, and they will yell at Fei Qian if they catch the slightest problem. Is it because Shandong people don't know that these problems are actually nothing, or do they not know that their scoldings are unreasonable?
More often than not, Shandong people just need an emotional outlet.
Therefore, to a certain extent, Shandong people supported Cao Cao in his campaign to defeat Feiqian...
Of course, if one day Fei Qian announces that the new land policy will be cancelled, and everything will return to the old system, these Shandong gentry and squires will immediately change the direction of the situation, throw away all the words that were insulting Fei Qian, and immediately start to advocate Fei Qian.
How wise and great, how compassionate, how wise and kind...
These Shandong people are all mouths, and they never take responsibility for what they say, let alone apologize for what they say and admit their mistakes.
To put it bluntly, whether you support Cao Cao or not is all due to interests.
The problem now is that Shandong people have begun to feel a little bit at a loss, whether they are Jizhou people or Yuzhou people.
