I'm happy, I'm going to have a good talk with Li Jue and Guo Si next. Not only did Xiao Liu Xie give me the official position of Xinye Ling, but he also gave me the skill [Wangdao]. What he discussed with me was right.
It's of great benefit to me and I have to do this.
At this time, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Jia Xu were still waiting outside the palace, and they seemed to pay great attention to me. Soon I followed these three people to Li Jue's house. After sitting down, Li Jue poured me a glass.
liquor.
"General Zhang, my two nephews lost their lives. I am so sad that I have to punish the general. Please forgive me." After that, he drank it all.
I hurriedly drank up the glass of wine in front of me. But I heard Li Jue continue: "I also know that General Zhang is not to blame for what happened this time. But I have to do this, otherwise I will be sorry for my two nephews. I don't know General Zhang."
What did the Holy One say to you when you came back from the palace?"
When I heard Li Jue's question, I couldn't help but hesitate. I was thinking about how to answer, but I heard Li Jue say again: "Actually, there is no need to say anything about General Zhang. I know very well what the Lord said, and there is no need to embarrass General Zhang."
.Today I will give General Zhang an explanation. No matter what the Holy One said to General Zhang, and no matter what General Zhang chooses, our thoughts towards General Zhang remain the same. Without him, there are no heroes in the world today except Marquis Wen and General Zhang.
A few of them really think for the imperial court."
I couldn't help but nod my head and said: "Apart from Liu Bei, Liu Biao and Liu Yan, this time I have seen the world's heroes."
Li Jue sneered and said: "That's exactly it. In fact, not only the princes, but also the current sage, although smart, has a hurdle that cannot be circumvented."
I couldn't help but think: "But I don't know what kind of obstacle General Li said?"
Li Jue continued to sneer: "General Zhang should know that in the four hundred years of the glorious Han Dynasty, there was no day in the imperial court. Dong Gong had seriously thought about this issue and finally came to the conclusion that the emperor's power was too great.
You can use whoever you want, so every emperor will eventually use one or two bad guys. Except for Emperor Wu who lived a long life and solved the problem on his own, other emperors, no matter wise or foolish, did not escape this hurdle in the end.
"
I immediately nodded my head: "What Mr. Dong said is true. It's a pity that Mr. Dong invaded the palace, harmed the soldiers and civilians, and ultimately lost his life."
Li Jue said loudly: "No. If the general thinks so, it is wrong. In fact, it is true that Duke Dong invaded the palace, but it is completely nonsense to harm the soldiers and civilians. In order to discredit Duke Dong, the princes of Guandong spread rumors everywhere, even Wen Wen
Hou Du believed it. In fact, there was no such thing. It was true that the imperial palace was real, but there was a reason for it. Dong Gong's confidante was selected into the palace and became an inferior palace maid, crying every day.
After Dong Gong knew about this, he vowed to take revenge, not only to take back his confidante, but also to return the favor, and to take away the royal woman. I, a man from Xiliang, will do what I say, and Dong Gong finally achieved it
fulfilled his long-cherished wish."
Hearing this, I couldn't help being shocked. Yes, history is written by the victors. There was a reason for Dong Zhuo's death in the palace, but later historians were not easy to write, so they had to arrange another crime for Dong Zhuo to harm the soldiers and civilians.
Most of Dong Zhuo's murders in the court were because those ministers who claimed to be loyal ministers could not bear the humiliation and came out to curse, but were killed by Dong Zhuo. Of course, this is only a possibility. In fact, similar incidents in history were truthfully recorded by historians
The historian does not need to cover up for the royal family. This matter can only be understood in this way in the game. Under the instructions of the rogue author, the system is set up in this way, and no one can do anything about it.
So at this moment, I honestly expressed my doubts: "What the general said is really alarmist, but it doesn't seem to be groundless. I wonder if the general has any evidence?"
Li Jue laughed: "Of course they need to provide evidence for this kind of thing. Dong Gong did not say that they were bad people. But on this point, they did have evidence. They said that Dong Gong once sent troops to loot a town.
The heads of common people were used as the heads of Huns to pretend to be military merits. But this evidence has obvious loopholes. First of all, the general can check the court archives. When Dong Gong was there, there was never any record of fighting against the Huns, and there was no record of our Xiliang
There is a record of military meritorious service. And with Dong Gong’s status at the time, there was no need to falsely claim any military merit. I think there are two reasons for this statement. One is that the massacre of the city did occur among the princes, and the other is that Dong Gong
The Duke did kill a lot of people. The princes who are massacring the city have not been reported yet, and we are still investigating. This must be the case, otherwise our enemies would not use such heinous behavior to
Frame Dong Gong. As for Dong Gong's murder, the people he killed were all powerful men from Sizhou and Yongzhou. They usually bullied men and dominated women and committed all kinds of evil. Dong Gong killed them to do justice for heaven. What's wrong? Regarding this matter
The general can continue to investigate the matter."
After Li Jue said this, I was a little confused. But I still asked: "It is rumored that Duke Dong sent his army to rob and hid his wealth in the dock. What did the general say?"
Li Jue smiled and said: "This happened, but the people who were robbed were also powerful men from the two states. They killed their people and took their wealth. Half of them were for the army's own use, and the other half were for the relief of the people. After years of war, the people were in dire straits.
If Dong Gong doesn't gather some wealth, how can he save the people from danger? The princes of Guandong and the powerful remnants hit it off and wantonly attacked Dong Gong, and their intentions are really sinister."
At this point, I have to admit that Li Jue has temporarily convinced me. But his words are only one-sided, and I still need to continue to verify. I can't help but raise my doubts: "These remarks attacking Dong Gong have existed for a long time. If the general deliberately
I made up the story with enough time, but I still can't believe the general suddenly."
Li Jue smiled again and said: "It is only natural for General Zhang to have this idea. In fact, people all over the world are talking about Dong Gong's wrongdoing. If we didn't know the inside story, it would be difficult for us to tell the truth from the lies.
The loser becomes a bandit. Even now that our Xiliang Army has won, we can still be attacked as thieves and bandits by villains. In the future history, I don’t know what crimes will be assigned to our Xiliang Army officers and men. Please forgive me for this.
Let’s wait and see.”
Li Jue's words once again moved my mind. Could it be that the evil deeds of Li Jue and Guo Si later were framed by others? After thinking about it, there is one thing that Li Jue should not be ready for. Let's ask him.
: "According to what the general said, the Xiliang army from Dong Gong to the generals and below are all doing justice for heaven, hoeing the strong and supporting the weak, and can they be respected? I don't know what Dong Gong and the others have in this regard.
As?"
Li Jue laughed: "General Zhang is really an extraordinary person. This is a good question. Let me tell you slowly. First of all, General Zhang should know that there is another person who doesn't look very good in attacking Dong Gong.
The important detail is that Dong Gong was not active in exterminating the Yellow Turban bandits at the beginning. This just proves that Dong Gong does not want to be an enemy of the rebels. At the same time, General Zhang also needs to know one thing. The reason why Dong Gong has the capital to march into Chang'an is that
It is precisely because of meritorious service in battle. And Dong Gong's victories were all fought in Liangzhou. This fully proves that Dong Gong is good at fighting foreign wars and does not bother to suppress the people."
I couldn't help but feel in awe: "What the general said was that Dong Gong's trip was really enlightening. I also heard rumors that when Dong Gong was suppressing the Yellow Turbans, he was rescued by Liu Bei and others, but he didn't look at them squarely. Why?"
Li Jue sneered and said: "He is loyal to his emperor, and Duke Dong is loyal to his people. If they have different ways, they will not conspire with each other."
This time I couldn't help but not applaud: "No matter whether what the general said is true or not, the general's words alone reflect the general's sincerity. I cannot but applaud this."
But Li Jue smiled and said: "General Zhang applauded early. In fact, the righteous deeds of Dong Gong and the Xiliang Army are just the beginning. Dong Gong's only mistake is that he should not get angry at a beauty and destroy himself."
The Xiliang army has a bright future. Otherwise, today's situation would be much better with Dong Gong here. Let me ask General Zhang another question, do you know why Dong Gong deposed the young emperor?"
I smiled and said, "This point is also acknowledged by Dong Gong's enemies. In fact, King Chenliu is smarter and more suitable for governing the country."
Li Jue laughed: "That's right. Just imagine that if the country and the country are given to the emperor, there will be endless troubles. And the emperor only lives in one family, which is even more dangerous. If someone is found in this family,
If he is not the smartest and kindest, it will be even more troublesome. So Dong Gong felt really uneasy when he saw that the Han Dynasty was going to be handed over to an emperor like Shao Di, and that King Chenliu was going to be buried instead. In addition, the responsibility of the Xiliang Army
It was for the common people of the world that Dong Gong took the initiative to establish King Chenliu and frightened the officials with his thunderous march, which was actually a great good thing for the Han Dynasty."
I had to applaud again: "Dong Gong did it right. It's just that Dong Gong killed innocent people indiscriminately because of this thing, which is too much. Wouldn't it be better if it could be done more perfectly?"
Hearing this, Li Jue stood up and pounded the table: "Dong Gong has never been wronged more than this. Oh, I'm sorry, I'm not targeting General Zhang. In fact, this kind of discussion is too irritating. General Zhang should know
, how great is the resistance to deposing the emperor. Without the Thunderous Journey, not only would it be difficult to accomplish, but it would also bring disaster to Duke Dong and the Xiliang army. Those killed by Duke Dong were all corrupt people in the court, and they could not be controlled without killing them.
situation. Moreover, Dong Gong did not kill the brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu indiscriminately. Wasn't it true that Dong Gong let the brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu go? If not, how could the two brothers gather the princes of Guandong to attack Dong Gong. Although it failed, it would eventually be given to Xiliang
The army brought disaster and rumors continued. I am afraid that no one will know the truth after thousands of years. Moreover, Duke Dong was killed because of it. It is a pity that although Duke Dong impressed Marquis Wen with his righteousness, Marquis Wen misunderstood the villain.
Saying this will ruin the great cause of our Xiliang army."
I couldn't help but wonder: "What is the great cause of the Xiliang Army mentioned by the general?"
This time Li Jue finally said seriously: "When Dong Gong traveled around the world and made friends with heroes, he set a great ambition to protect the frontiers and bring peace to the people, so that there would be virtuous people in the court, and treacherous and sycophants would not be able to do it, strong men could use their lives, and clean roads would be able to
OK, the common people are not hungry, the Xiongnu can't reach Yinshan, and the Qiang people can't invade Xiliang. Such great ambitions are difficult to realize, so Dong Gong surrenders to Xiliang, kills the thieves, gathers heroes, and waits for action. The Yellow Turban Risen
At that time, Dong Gong was very excited. He thought that the Yellow Turbans were powerful and once they conquered the world, they would be able to achieve their wish with the help of great sages and teachers. Unexpectedly, Qingliu was pardoned by the court at this time and joined forces to serve, ruining the great opportunity to rule the world.
For this reason, Dong Gong wept and howled, and had to continue to accumulate strength and think about using his own strength to realize his ambition. Finally, He Jin and Shi Changshi had a bad relationship. Dong Gong took the opportunity to lead the army to Beijing, and he took control of the military power. From then on, he could make a difference.
Exactly. After Dong Gong passed away, we often received Dong Gong’s teachings. We didn’t want his great achievements to be in vain, so we had to drive away Fengxian and resume the government. We still dare not forget Dong Gong’s ambition.”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but be in awe. Thinking about it, I realized that what Li Jue said was exactly the same. It can be seen that we had too much prejudice against the Xiliang Army in the past. But there was one thing I still didn't understand, so I asked: "
Since Dong Gong supported the Holy Majesty that day, why is the Holy Majesty on the same level as the general today?"
Li Jue laughed loudly: "If I were him, I would be on the same level as the Xiliang army. It's not his fault. But Dong Gong's ambition must be carried out and the righteousness is righteous, so I have to wrong him. I have told General Zhang before
However, one of the biggest shortcomings of the Han Dynasty is that the emperor has too much power, and he will use some treacherous villains at any time just because he has a different idea. Therefore, after thinking about it, Dong Gong must limit the emperor's power. The court must have a method that is in line with Dong Gong's righteousness.
The power can restrain the emperor from messing around at any time. Dong Gong did that at the time, and we do the same now. In this way, it is not surprising that the Holy One feels a little depressed. In fact, the Holy One is a little confused. If he falls into the Kanto princes
In our hands, life is worse than death. Nowadays, the general trend of the world has reached the point where everyone wants to be the emperor. We just want to do things for the people of the world. Compared with those traitors, we are much more polite to the emperor. Dong
The Duke has said that this is called holding the emperor hostage to bring peace to the people."
I clapped my hands again and praised: "What a man who used the emperor to bring peace to the people. In fact, isn't it too troublesome for Dong Gong to do this? You must know that whether it is Dong Gong or a general, he can depose the emperor and become the emperor himself. Isn't this right?
Easier?"
Li Jue laughed: "This is not the sincerity of the general. From the general's behavior, we already know that the general would not do this even if he sat in this position. Without him, the Han family has been in the world for four hundred years. Although things always go wrong,
But in general, people's popularity is not bad. At the beginning, Emperor Gaozu raised a three-foot sword to cut the snake and rebelled against the violent Qin Dynasty. After that, the rule of Wenjing and Guangwu Zhongxing have long since brought the people of Li and Qingliu back to their hearts. No matter how big we want to achieve
Ambition is still necessary to be able to borrow the power of the Han family. A teacher who never forgets the past and a good teacher, General Zhang has also seen the final end. Just imagine how Dong Gong and I are compared to the good teacher? So
Mr. Dong thought about it a lot and decided that it is the best way to use the waste of the Han family and use his skin to realize our ambitions."
I couldn't help but sigh: "Dong Gong is truly a man of God. Being able to make such arrangements is really a blessing for the people. Fortunately, the generals are still there, and there are people who will inherit Dong Gong's great cause, and the people are blessed."
But I heard Li Jue suddenly tapping the wine glass with his chopsticks and singing: "The strong wind is blowing, the clouds are flying, the waves are flying in the sea, and we are returning to our hometown, and the brave warriors are guarding the four directions?" After the song, Li Jue said: "This song is a true portrayal of our mood. The Xiliang Army was founded by Duke Dong. However, Duke Dong was not as talented as we are. Today we are trapped in a corner, and the road ahead is very difficult. Recently I heard that General Zhang inherited the war god of Marquis Wen, and I also heard that the general's intelligence is worse than Marquis Wen. If it weren't for the general , Marquis Wen may not be sure which prince he is attached to today. Duke Dong’s ambition really needs someone like General Zhang to succeed him. I wonder what the general’s intention is?”
I was stunned for a moment. I never thought that Li Jue invited me here today for this purpose. I said hurriedly: "The general is ridiculous. The last general failed to escort the imperial seal, which caused the death of two generals. Li Jue felt very ashamed. He De
How can you win the general's favor?"
Jia Xu, who had been silent at this time, finally spoke: "What General Zhang said is true. In fact, the intention of the Great Sima is not to let General Zhang command the Xiliang Army immediately, but to let General Zhang go out and practice first. Wait until the general can
When the Xiliang army returns home, come and lead the Xiliang army again."
Guo Bang also said: "Yes, my only thought is to let General Zhang make contributions. It just so happens that this time the emperor definitely wants to reuse the general. If we wait for the emperor to reuse the general, the emperor will definitely go with the flow, and then the general can be handy.
Already."
But I heard Li Jue say: "General Zhang, don't doubt our sincerity. From a public perspective, no one but the general can realize Duke Dong's ambition. Privately speaking, the general is a big tree, and we can only rely on the general as a big tree."
Only if you go down can you stay cool forever. From now on, the three of us will obey the general's orders."
I slammed the table: "Damn it, I did it. But I don't know how the three of you want to start the song?"
Jia Xu smiled and said: "The Holy One's idea is nothing more than that Bingzhou is currently empty, so he can just send the general there to take over. In addition, if the general joins the Yulin Army, he can protect him at any time. And we have another quarrel. Since we left Liangzhou
After that, the rear was empty. Ma Teng and Han Sui had already planned to capture Liangzhou. Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhe, Bian Zhang and others were also coveting it, so we wanted to protect General Yongzhou, Bingzhou, and Liangzhou.
Lie Mu, who is also the commander-in-chief of the Yulin Army, I wonder what the general wants?"
I burst out laughing: "If this happens, wouldn't it mean that Sizhou, Yongzhou, Bingzhou, and Liangzhou are all controlled by the Xiliang Army and Marquis Wen?"
Jia Xu laughed: "That's it. Now that Marquis Wen has formed an alliance with the Xiliang Army, the general is the key to the alliance between our two major forces. Now the general has become the de facto lord of our Xiliang Army, firmly entrenching these four states.
, plus Liu Yan's Yizhou, Liu Biao's Jingzhou, and Liu Bei's Pingyuan County, there is no need to worry about the failure of great things."
After careful consideration, I found that half of the Han Dynasty was indeed in my hands. The happiness was even more written on my face.
