Jia Xu is indeed Jia Xu. He is the best in the world in terms of breaking through his opponents' schemes and understanding human nature.
Let Liu Jian support Yuan Shu as the father-in-law of the Yuan family in Runan. Let Liu Jian plan for a few more days. Liu Jian may be able to think of it.
But for Yuan Chong to become a disciple of Zheng Xue, this is not something that ordinary people can figure out.
It may not sound like much, but if you think about it more deeply, you will find out how powerful this method is.
At a time when the Ancient Classics was booming but the modern literary system could not stop the rise of the Ancient Classics, Zheng Xue, founded by Zheng Xuan, came into being. It combined the strengths of the Ancient Classics and the Golden Classics and was admired by people all over the world. Zheng Xuan himself became a
It became the nerve among people in Shilin.
In fact, the Yuan family of Runan had long ago wanted to select talented people from among the family's outstanding children and join the Zheng family's sect.
Including Yuan Ji, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others, they also highly respected Zheng Xuan.
It is not that they admire and recognize Zheng Xuan, this is just a manifestation of profit-seeking in academic politics.
Zheng Xuan's reputation among the two schools of Confucian scholars is too high, so he must be respected. Respecting him will allow the family to infiltrate influence into the field of ancient classics. Failure to respect him will have too much influence on their own reputation among the scholars.
big.
From the perspective of the Yuan family, as the leading family of the Jinwen Jing School, at the time when Zheng Xue was flourishing, if the family did not have some relationship with the Zheng family, it would be extremely detrimental to the future development of the family.
Now that Yuan Chong can become an inner disciple of the Zheng family, this can be said to be a great opportunity for the Yuan family to establish contact with the Zheng school.
The elders of the Yuan family in Runan must have strongly supported this matter.
It can be said that this matter will be supported by the entire Yuan family in Runan.
If Yuan Shu dares to go against the whole clan at this time, the consequences can be imagined.
After figuring out the key.
Liu Jian immediately stood up, cupped his hands to Jia Xu and said, "Wen He's words are very agreeable to my heart! It's only thanks to Wen He's advice that I can clear up this confusion in my heart."
"I don't dare, I don't dare. It's a blessing for Jia Xu to be able to help you."
Then, Liu Jian stood up and said goodbye to Jia Xu.
Jia Xu personally walked Liu Jian to the door, and suddenly gave Liu Jian a long salute and said:
"My lord, Jia Xu has something that I would like to ask my lord to agree to."
"What's the matter?"
Jia Xu suddenly lifted the hem of his front clothes, knelt down and saluted, and said: "I beg you, my lord, not to let Xu's family members go to the palace."
Liu Jian showed a surprised look.
"Wen He, why do you say this?"
Jia Xu said sincerely: "If Xu can be taken in by the lord, it also means that the lord thinks of Jia Xu wholeheartedly and rescues the eldest son who is trapped in Luoyang. Even if Xu is a cow and a horse, he can't repay the lord's great kindness!"
"My lord allowed my people to live in Guantao because he wanted Jia Xu to leave the next day. However, although Jia Xu is selfish, he is also a man of conscience. My lord is so kind. If Jia Xu is thinking of luck,
It’s really a waste of time!”
Let's talk, I saw Jia Xu once again kowtow to Liu Jian and give him a big gift.
"Jia Xu begged my lord, and asked my lord to let Xu's son and people live in Yecheng. If my lord does not agree, it means that my lord is suspicious of Jia Xu and is unwilling to use Jia Xu as his confidant."
When he said this, Jia Xu's tone was filled with tears.
Liu Jian saw that Jia Xu had said this, so he had no choice but to get off the donkey.
"Hey, since Wen He and you are so determined, I have no choice but to comply with your wishes. Actually, I don't have that many ideas. Liu just wants to ensure that you and your tribe can feel at ease in Hebei... That's all.
Come on, come on, if you have any ideas in the future, please tell me at any time and I will ask your people to move out of Yecheng."
Jia Xu said gratefully: "Jia Xu will never be able to repay the kindness of my lord, even if I die! I will never leave Hebei in this life!"
Liu Jian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Why is this so? Why is this so..."
After saying that, he saw him walking out of Jia Xu's room helplessly.
Jia Xu, who was kneeling in the room, took a long breath before he slowly stood up from where he was.
He looked in the direction Liu Jian left, seemingly thoughtful.
"Yecheng is not Yecheng, Guantao is not Guantao. As long as it is in Hebei, where can I hide from your supervision? In fact, it is the same... Oh, what a temptation, what a temptation, and I did it by the way.
A good man is truly a hero."
Jia Xu muttered.
…
Liu Jian, who walked out of Jia Xu's room, quickly returned to his residence.
After entering the study, Liu Jian immediately rummaged around on the desk.
Not long after, Liu Jian turned out two slips.
He unfolded the two slips and read them again.
One of the orders was for Tian Feng to place Jia Xu's family in Guantao after receiving their orders.
The other was an order for Tian Feng to settle Jia Xu's tribe in Yecheng after receiving them.
Liu Jian looked back and forth and smiled faintly.
Immediately, he took the slip "Placing Jia Xu's family in Guantao" and went to the brazier in the house, threw it into it and burned it.
Then, he handed over the military order to "send Jia Xu's family to Yecheng" that he had prepared long ago to the attendant outside the door, and asked him to quickly send it to Hebei and hand it over to Tian Feng.
"Jia Wenhe... is still very good."
Liu Jian muttered to himself and gave Jia Xu a five-character evaluation.
…
…
The next day, Liu Jian summoned Yang Hong and told him that he would consider Yuan Chong's matter and asked Yuan Shu to wait for the time being. He would definitely give Yuan Shu a satisfactory answer later.
Although he was not very sure, Liu Jian's words seemed to imply that he agreed to Yuan Shu's request.
At least, to Yang Hong's ears, Liu Jian had compromised.
He was very happy, expressed his gratitude to Liu Jian immediately, and then rushed to Shouchun to resume his life.
Shortly after Yang Hong left, Liu Jian immediately sent people to Qingzhou to see his father-in-law Zheng Xuan, and wrote down the matter in a letter, asking Zheng Xuan to come forward and let Zheng Yi accept Yuan Chong as his disciple.
In order to ensure that this matter could be done, Liu Jian also sent a handwritten letter to Zheng Ci in Yecheng, hoping that she would also come forward to make peace.
In addition, Liu Jian also sent people to see his teacher Lu Zhi to tell him everything about the situation.
With Zheng Ci and Lu Zhi helping him come forward, Liu Jian felt that there was basically no problem in this matter.
After the matter is settled, he will send someone to Huainan to see Yuan Shu... By then, Yuan Shu will definitely suffer the loss of being dumb.
Not long after Yang Hong left, Liu Jian welcomed another envoy.
This envoy is not Dong Zhuo's envoy. To be more precise, he is the envoy of the current emperor Liu Bian and the Empress Dowager He.
Lu Qiang and Liu Jian, old friends, have not seen each other for a long time.
Compared with back then, Lu Qiang seemed a little older, but he was still very energetic.
In just a few years, things have changed, people have changed, and the situation of the two people has also undergone tremendous changes.
The old man and the young man did not talk about business first, but sat down in the hall, recalling the past when they were together by Liu Hong's side, and looking at the present, they were all filled with sadness.
However, Liu Jian said something that made Lu Qiang feel very much in agreement.
Everything has changed, but their enthusiasm for being loyal to the Han Dynasty has never changed.
When Lu Qiang mentioned Dong Zhuo's hope that the Emperor and Queen Mother He could act as peacemakers and ask Liu Jian to call off his troops and make a truce, Liu Jian naturally agreed to him.
"I am a minister of the Han Dynasty, and everything I do is naturally for the emperor. I want to avenge Yuan Shiji now, but it is for personal reasons. But if the emperor and the queen mother come forward to make peace, I, Liu Jian, am willing to give up revenge and just return the invitation.
Attendant Zhongchang will go back and take me to convey a request to the Emperor and the Queen Mother."
Lu Qiang said hurriedly: "Deran, if you have any idea, just say it."
"Since the Emperor and the Queen Mother want me to stop the army, my withdrawal has nothing to do with Dong Zhuo."
"I need the emperor and the queen mother to issue an edict in person. The emperor of the Han Dynasty ordered me to retreat to Yecheng. During this period, Dong Zhuo can send people to have peace talks with me, but all the contents of the peace talks are secret.
I wonder if we can make a private agreement?"
Lu Qiang laughed after hearing Liu Jian's words.
"Deran is indeed the same Deran I know. Don't worry, I will definitely handle this for you."
Liu Jian also laughed after hearing this.
"As expected, the regular servant is still the same regular servant."
After the business was settled, Liu Jian and Lu Qiang entered a relaxed state.
Liu Jian had someone prepare some snacks, and he and Lu Qiang ate together in the study room and chatted about daily life.
After the two casually chatted about the affairs of the DPRK and other places, Lu Qiang suddenly asked Liu Jian.
"Deran, in your opinion, what kind of person is Dong Zhuo?"
Liu Jian had almost no hesitation: "He is a person who can do great things, and according to common sense, after he entered Luoyang, he was a threat to His Majesty. Of course, he is still a threat to Your Majesty now, but now
Dong Zhuo is still a loyal minister to His Majesty in name only... His status as a loyal minister keeps him there and prevents him from doing anything drastic to His Majesty."
"To put it bluntly, if Dong Zhuo had succeeded in deposing King Chen Liu as emperor, the situation in the Han Dynasty would not be like this. He would have become a powerful minister... All imperial power would have been lost.
In his hands, the Xiliang soldiers under his command in Luoyang may not know the rules that well."
Liu Jian's words were very straightforward, but he hit the nail on the head and stated the essence of the matter very directly, which made Lu Qiang very impressed.
"Deran, you still see things as accurately as before. Although Dong Zhuo is a great enemy in the eyes of the court and most of the ministers and ministers, what he has done so far has not exceeded the duties of a minister.
"
"This has made many people who want to take action against him have their hands tied. At least in terms of the emperor and the queen mother, the courtiers have not yet received support... In fact, Yuan Shao's crusade against Dong Zhuo this time is not considered sufficient by many people in the world.
Therefore, there are not many people in the DPRK and China supporting Yuan Shao, resulting in Dong Zhuo's current battle against Guandong being relatively smooth."
Liu Jian nodded. Indeed, compared to the history, Dong Zhuo's battle with the alliance of princes was relatively smooth. Perhaps Dong Zhuo's current situation would have been better if he had not come out to disrupt the situation.
"Deran, now the situation has changed overnight. Although the Emperor and His Majesty have not been overly forced by Dong Zhuo, they are still in danger, and His Majesty is still squeezed by the prime minister's power headed by Dong Zhuo. This time, the old
In addition to promoting peace talks between you and Dong Zhuo on behalf of the Emperor, I have another thing I want to ask you."
"Your Majesty asked Zhong Chang to ask?"
Lu Qiang sighed: "To be precise, the Queen Mother and the Emperor wanted to ask the old slave to inquire."
"Your Excellency, please speak clearly."
"Deran, Your Majesty and Your Highness, what should be the next step?"
Lu Qiang's words were very general, but they also directly expressed the feelings of the emperor and the queen mother.
The current situation really left the young emperor and the stupid queen mother at a loss.
Compared with Liu Hong's period, the current imperial power is too weak.
Those who can influence the situation of the world are the power of the prime minister headed by Dong Zhuo, the power of the local gentry headed by the Yuan Group, and the power of the clan headed by Liu Jian.
Today, the rights of the emperor and the queen mother are infinitely ignored and suppressed.
Liu Jian was silent for a moment and then said: "Today's situation is complicated, and the emperor and the queen mother have too few bargaining chips. What should be done in the future? Although I am a minister, I can't come up with a program for the king for the time being, but I know how to proceed.
The emperor has to face something very important."
"What happened?"
"I would like to ask Mr. Zhongchang, if Dong Zhuo requests to move the capital now, from the perspective of Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, what should be done?"
This sentence almost made Lu Qiang stupid.
Dong Zhuo's move to the capital did happen in history, and many people know about it.
In the eyes of future generations, this matter is a matter of course and there is nothing surprising.
That's just looking at it from the perspective of a later person.
From the perspective of the parties involved, the impact of the capital relocation is too huge.
Especially in the minds of people like Lu Qiang, moving the capital is like a comet hitting the earth. It feels almost impossible to happen.
Lu Qiang's hands were trembling slightly.
"Deran, don't talk nonsense. Why did the good-natured Dong Zhuo move the capital?"
Liu Jian said while drinking water: "What is the situation Dong Zhuo is facing now? It is the Kwantung gentry headed by the Yuan family that is squeezing the power of the Kansai military faction... Since ancient times, "Kuanxi will give out generals, and Kanto will give out prime ministers." Dong Zhuo's power is basically
Pan is still in the land of Xizhou,"
"From the topography point of view, although Luoyang is the thoroughfare of the world and has developed water transportation, it is very qualified as a capital city in a stable and prosperous age. However, in troubled times, it will be quite difficult to defend. Although there is Donghu Lao Nan Sishui
, but it is also surrounded by enemies on three sides. Once the enemy breaks through the pass, they can send troops to gallop, especially the Yellow River in the north, which is almost impossible to defend. The threat of the White Wave Army is also fatal to him..."
"Looking at Chang'an on the other hand, for Dong Zhuo, the only way to meet the enemy is from the east. As long as Hangu Pass and Wuguan are blocked, there will be a situation where the Qin Dynasty will sit in Chang'an and the tiger will occupy the Guandong. He will sit back and watch the people in the Guandong melee... So for Dong Zhuo
He said that no matter how strong the resistance was to moving the capital to Chang'an, it was still imperative for him to do it because it was related to his life and death."
"What if Dong Zhuo insists on moving the capital to Chang'an? What should your Majesty and the Queen Mother do now?"
