Chapter 952: Those who want less and those who want more
For the first time in such a long time, Liu Xie walked out of Chongde Hall happily. There were no disgusting Xiliang soldiers, nor did he have to look at the faces of the disgusting Li Jue and Guo Si.
"...the emeralds are in full bloom, shining brightly. The thorns are hanging down, and the night light is there. So the Xuanzang is built with buttons, the jade steps are red, the stone is colorful, the linmin is green, the coral is green, and Zhou A is born.
"Red Luo Sa Geng, Qi Group colorful..." Liu Xie walked slowly while chanting softly, and seemed to be in a very good mood.
Only those who have lost their freedom realize how precious freedom is.
"Ha..." Liu Xie was walking when he suddenly stopped and half-turned his head to look at the treetops on one side.
The spring flowers have basically come to an end, but there are still some left on the branches, and among the green trees and red flowers, two or three colorful butterflies are dancing.
Xiao Huangmen, who was serving Liu Xie, followed Liu Xie's eyes and said softly: "Your Majesty... do you want me to catch it?"
Liu Xie followed the butterfly up and down with his eyes, then slowly shook his head and said: "No... let's go... let it stay here..."
But Liu Xie's good mood did not last long. He was only halfway through when someone from Xiaohuangmen came to report that it was Xun You, the servant, who wanted to see him.
Strictly speaking, being a servant is not a serious official position, it is just an additional official position.
"When entering and exiting, the advisor will deal with it, and the position will always serve." In fact, it is the advisor beside the emperor. Of course, this advisor can be the emperor's close minister in charge of the riding clothes and even the utensils including "tiger". Of course, he can also
The most important thing about participating in court meetings is that the servants can go in and out of the palace and always stay at the king's side.
Under the leadership of Xiaohuangmen, the servant Xun You paid a visit to Liu Xie and reported: "Your Majesty... General Fei, who conquered the west, has returned to the north..."
"Why?" Liu Xie was a little surprised and confused.
Xun You was silent for a moment and said: "General Zhengxi said that there are many unusual movements in Xianbei in the north, and a terrorist attack is imminent. In addition, Chang'an has just been settled, and there are Taichang Zhong and other wise ministers to assist, so he returned north..."
Liu Xie asked: "What can Taichang say?"
Xun You shook his head.
It’s not that Zhong Shao didn’t have opinions, but even Xun You found this opinion a bit unbelievable. According to Zhong Shao’s intention, he wanted Fei Qian to pursue Li Jue and other remaining Xiliang soldiers, but Zhong Shao wanted Fei Qian to hunt down Li Jue and other remaining Xiliang soldiers.
Qian led his troops there, not the Xiliang surrender troops or the Chang'an Forbidden Army who were allowed to command Chang'an.
According to Zhong Shao's statement, it seems to be reasonable, because the Xiliang surrender troops are still undecided, and some unexpected problems will inevitably occur when they suddenly go to the battlefield. The imperial army in Chang'an is to restore its control by Li Jue, Guo Si and others.
The chaotic establishment also needs to guard the palace and city, and also needs to guard and manage these Xiliang soldiers, so it is also impossible to deploy them...
Of course, these are the facts and are also the current problems in Chang'an City, but it does not mean that the matter cannot be solved, or that nothing can be done.
It is often said that men will automatically lower their IQ in two things, one is beauty and the other is money. In fact, these two aspects are related to one thing, that is power.
Zhong Shao was very dissatisfied with Wang Yun's style when he was in power. But now when he came into contact with the core of power in the Han Dynasty and took charge of the Chancery, he also fell into the same vicious circle of regency as Wang Yun.
.
Isn't it smart to breed Shao?
Isn’t Ma Yu knowledgeable?
Isn’t Liu Fan smart?
No, but the biggest shortcoming of the alliance has been exposed. When one or a few people in the alliance express strong opposition to a certain thing, it is often difficult for the rest of the people to actually implement it even if they have correct opinions.
Everyone has dreams and hopes, and the ambition to do whatever they want, and when they see some people doing something, they will sigh with emotion or even make a long speech to despise these things.
Human intelligence and behavior.
But when it's really my turn, I often end up blind.
Otherwise, after receiving black money, so many people in later generations will not place their hope in burning a few sticks of incense or digging a few holes to avoid the limelight and avoid disasters. Are those people stupid? On the contrary, these people
If you can sit in that position and collect a lot of wealth, your IQ or emotional quotient is often much higher than that of ordinary people.
As the necessary leader of an alliance, or even the leader of the entire Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was still relatively young, and the most important thing was that he was basically in semi-clausus for two or three years.
Under the current situation, although the skills of observing words and emotions have improved, the ability to balance the powers in governing the country is basically zero growth...
Xun You bowed and said: "Your Majesty... Although the capital is settled, the three assistants are not stable and the generals are not in harmony. This is not a good omen... The world is looking forward to governance, as if it is hungry and thirsty, and the spirit of the three armies needs to be revived. At this time,
, General Zhengxi’s return to the north is a bit..."
Onlookers knew that Xun You did not participate in this gluttonous feast for promotion, so he had a relatively clear understanding of the current situation. Although the city was generally under control, the Xiliang soldiers outside the city were not necessarily
Can be as vulnerable as Zhong Shao thinks.
There is nothing wrong with Xia Mou being a veteran, and it is also true that he was one of the eight captains of Xiyuan during the Han Ling Emperor period, but this does not mean that he will definitely gain a decisive advantage on the battlefield.
Seniority can only mean that you have certain experience, but it cannot fully represent an individual's ability.
Therefore, Xun You felt that it would be relatively safer to hide in Chang'an if there was at least Fei, who had more actual combat experience and had at least victorious results against Xiliang soldiers. Therefore, when Zhong Shao and others refused to listen to their suggestions, Xun You decided to
Came to Weiyang Palace, hoping to let Fei Qian stay through Liu Xie.
But if you want Fei Qian to stay, you will inevitably tamper with the powers and interests of people including Zhong Shao, Liu Fan, Ma Yu, and Xia Mou, so only Liu Xie showed a tough stance and acted in the name of the emperor.
Only with edicts can we coordinate and distribute...
Liu Xie hesitated for a moment and said at a loss: "Xun Qing, then... what should I do?"
Xun You lowered his head, was silent for a while, and said: "This matter... must be decided by His Majesty, I dare not say more..." Xun You still sighed in his heart, knowing that this meager hope was still unlikely to be realized.
Xun You can inform Liu Xie of the current situation. This is his duty. The emperor asked his servants to learn about the situation of the country, the court, and even the countryside. This has been a practice since the founding of the Han Dynasty, so Xun You told Liu Xie these things.
There is no problem at all, but making a decision for Liu Xie is something big or small...
Not to mention the age of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty when he succeeded to the throne, his methods and courage were simply a template for heroes in the world.
After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, who grew up among the people, had no confidants on his left and right, and no power in the palace. Then he was able to slowly disintegrate the Huo Guang clan, which had all the power in the world, step by step, and finally turned his hands into clouds and rain.
Together with Huo Guang, he killed nearly a thousand families in one fell swoop.
The Liu family in the Han Dynasty also had some ruthless characters, but can Liu Xie in front of him take on this responsibility...
Regarding this issue, Fei Qian feels that Liu Xie is not yet a talented leader.
Evacuating Chang'an was Fei Qian's plan beforehand. Regardless of whether he wanted Guo Si's head or not, he would not stay in Chang'an for a long time. Of course, after killing Guo Si, the Xiliang soldiers in Chang'an were basically leaderless.
In such a state, it is not surprising that the Anti-Xiliang Alliance was suddenly noticed.
But what’s interesting is that Zhong Shao actually gave Fei Qian himself the title of General Conquering the West...
Conquer the town in peace, generals from all directions.
The general who Zhengzi is ranked first among the generals in the four directions, and his position is not much different from that of Jiuqing. Perhaps it is because Fei Qian was worshiped by Guang Luxun before. Although Fei Qian is not good, there is still another one.
The style is there.
However, as the general who conquered the West, Feng Feiqian, Zhong Shao and others' intentions were also very subtle.
The term "General of the Expedition to the West" was first established when Liu Xiu led his troops to conquer the Red Eyebrow Army in the west, and it has been used ever since.
The Red Eyebrow Army originally raised troops near Mount Tai in Yanzhou, and then continued to develop. It continued to grow in Qingzhou, Xuzhou and Yanzhou, and finally fought with Wang Mang's imperial army, and then entered Guanzhong. At its peak, it was known as one million, and became the leader of Liu Xiu's army.
The two major factions fighting in court...
It was under such circumstances that Liu Xiu led the troops from Jizhou and part of Yuzhou, and finally fought a decisive battle with the Red Eyebrow Army and won the final victory. General Zhengxi was the vanguard.
Therefore, since the generals who conquered the west, they have always guarded the Guanzhong area and commanded Yongliang. Under normal circumstances, they also established their offices in Chang'an.
So in fact, Zhong Shao and others conspired to give Fei Qian such an official position. In fact, they not only hoped to keep Fei Qian in Chang'an, but also hoped to completely push Fei Qian into opposition to people like Xiliang...
Just as Fei Qian crossed the Wei River and started heading towards Pinyang, a burst of smoke and dust suddenly appeared behind him, as if several riders were coming from the direction of Chang'an.
The person who came was none other than Xun You.
"Your Majesty, can you please take a moment to speak?" Xun You said with a look of disgrace on his face and cupped his hands towards Fei Qiangong.
Fei Qian recognized this as the middle-aged man who saluted him in the Chongde Hall that day. He got off his horse and walked with Xun You to the side of the road.
?What’s the purpose of coming here?”
"I am Xun You, whose courtesy name is Gongda. I am serving as a servant. I am here on the orders of the emperor..." Xun You said, cupping his hands.
Xun You?
Fei Qian couldn't help but glance sideways, and he actually looked older than Xun Chen. However, Xun You is known as the core figure in the Guandu Battle, but he is not on Cao Cao's side now?
So to say……
"Junhou?" Xun You suddenly felt frightened for no reason.
"Uh...I'm sorry, I suddenly thought of something about joining the North..." Fei Qian retracted his divergent thoughts. At this time, there is still some time before Cao Cao and Yuan Shao break up. It's hard to say whether the Battle of Guandu will happen now.
, it would be too much to take any special measures against Xun You now.
Xun You thought that Fei Qian was thinking about Xianbei in the north, so he nodded in understanding and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It turns out that this is the case. No wonder he felt that he had the intention of conquest...
Xun You pondered for a while and then said solemnly to Fei Qian: "Now that the kings and princes have famous towns and are united to the north, they are like the lords of the south. The act of hunting leopards against barbarians is really a blessing to the country."
Nanzhong and Qixi, haha.
Nan Zhong was King Xuan of Zhou's general who attacked the surrounding Hu Yi.
King Zhou Xuan ascended the throne at a young age, and King Zhou Li before King Zhou Xuan was a famous confused and strange king in history. Then there was a riot among the Chinese people, and the earliest Zhou Zhao Republic was born, and the chronology of Chinese history began.
It was at that time that Nan Zhong went to garrison the border...
During the period when King Zhou Xuan was in the Republic of Zhou Dynasty, it was called the "Resurgence of King Xuan", but in fact it was the beginning of the decline of imperial power in the Zhou Dynasty. It even exposed the weakness of the ruling class and fell from the sacred sky to the ground...
Therefore, if you know this period of history, you will understand what Xun You means, but if you don't know or understand it, you will basically be blind.
If you say nice things when you meet, it will definitely not do anything good. Xun You was testing it, but he also gave it a little hint of a reminder.
This was the case in the Han Dynasty. Could Fei Qian be more direct when he said nonsense about you? Or could Fei Qian not adapt to the society of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but expect this society to adapt to him?
Even in later generations, when there is no literati habit of chewing words, is it possible for everyone to tell each other what they have to say? Will Hongxing’s affair with Lao Wang next door be openly told to the world? The boss is going to tell a certain
If a subordinate wears small shoes, will he be able to speak clearly to his face? With a sign that I am an outspoken person, can I expect others to be outspoken as well?
Therefore, Fei Qian waved his hand and said: "It is a certain duty to be public and protect the country. It is not worth mentioning. How can you dare to compare with Nan Zhong? Now that your Majesty is extremely intelligent and has the help of wise ministers in the court, naturally
The world is about to prosper."
Xun You nodded silently, and then said: "I came here under your Majesty's order..."
Xun You waved back, and an attendant who followed him came forward holding a long brocade bag, and then opened the brocade bag, revealing a long sword inside.
Xun You raised his long sword with both hands high in the air and said to Fei Qian: "Your Majesty learned that the prince has returned to the north, so he specially gave you this sword to enhance the power of the prince."
Fei Qian took a look, a little confused.
Although the Shangfang Sword already existed in the Han Dynasty, the current Shangfang Sword does not yet represent the right to act arbitrarily and the power to kill first and then report. It is just a relatively high-end and classy imperial gift, and it has been used on various bridges in later generations.
In Duan Zhong, the concept that a truly Shangfang sword has great authority only officially started in the Ming Dynasty, and a grand awarding ceremony must be held to have the special halo bonus of defeating an unjust emperor and defeating an unfaithful minister.
