"Zichuan, Zichuan!" Chen Xi woke up vaguely, and a large group of people surrounded him. Seeing Chen Xi wake up, they finally felt relieved.
"Marquis Chen is fine, so we two will leave first." Zhang Zhongjing saluted Liu Bei and others with a fist, and then left with the medicine box on his back. Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing were found after Chen Xi fainted.
"Zichuan, why did you suddenly fall off the horse?" Liu Bei saw Chen Xi waking up and asked slightly reproachfully. Chen Xi's sudden fall off the horse really shocked them. If it weren't for Jia Xu and Xu Shu next to them, they reached out to grab it, and their heads turned towards
If the horse falls, even Chen Xi will be in tragedy.
"Well, I had a weird dream." Chen Xi said with some embarrassment. He actually dreamed of Taishi Ci, but this dream was so real that he still remembers its contents.
"Uh, just for a while, you actually had a dream." Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi speechlessly, "If you were sleepy, you would go to the car and fall off the horse. Do you know that this is very dangerous? If it weren't for Wen He
He Yuanzhi pulled you and you really fell."
Chen Xi was slightly embarrassed. He didn't know that he had a dream out of nowhere, and then he met Tai Shici out of nowhere. He was also stunned now.
Liu Bei saw that Chen Xi was stunned and didn't say anything. Chen Xi was indeed a little absent-minded sometimes, but it was good that he didn't fall.
"You should rest first. Maybe you haven't had a good rest recently. I have already set up camp for the army. We will rest for a day today and then march again tomorrow." Liu Bei warned Chen Xi.
After Liu Bei left, Chen Xi began to tell Jia Xu and others about the dream he had had before, and Jia Xu and others were speechless.
"Zichuan, don't think too much. Work hard. There is nothing better than working hard." Jia Xu patted Chen Xi on the shoulder, turned around and left with his hands behind his back.
"Zichuan, you can think better than me." Guo Jia sighed and said, "I will give you a bottle of wine later. After drinking it, you can go to bed quickly and catch up on your sleep. You will not dream during the day."
"Ahem, I won't say anything anymore." Chen Xi stared at the people below who were still about to say something. Liu Ye coughed twice and swallowed the words without saying anything more. The group of people left one after another.
"I don't think it was a dream!" Chen Xi said a little irritably after everyone left. As a result, such informal words were considered by this group of people to be Chen Xi dreaming.
Not to mention Chen Xi's dream, Chang'an became a lot empty after Liu Bei and Sun Ce left. After all, all the officials were slaughtered by Dong Cheng and others before they died.
Cao Cao doesn't have any special sense for the new eldest princess. She is neither good nor bad, neither far nor near. You can give any orders that are not out of the ordinary.
The biggest difference between Liu Tong and Liu Xie is that Liu Tong has experienced so much turmoil and knows how she got her position, so even if she is sitting in this position, she just does her own thing. As for Cao Cao, how about love?
, how about it, it’s none of her business.
Anyway, compared to when Liu Xie was in power, Liu Tong was always on guard even if he stayed in the palace and did not go out. Now he appears openly and openly in front of others. As long as he does not seek death, he does not have to worry about his personal safety.
As for seeking death, the biggest difference between Liu Tong and Liu Xie is here. Liu Tong does not have a clear idea of family, country, and world. She just wants to live a good life on her own, and her mentality of being content with being rich means she has no intention of competing with Cao Cao for power.
idea.
In this way, Cao Cao was too lazy to care about what the eldest princess did. Instead, there was an inexplicable tacit understanding between the two. Cao Cao would not refute her face on matters related to the eldest princess, and Liu Tong would not discuss government affairs that he did not understand.
Refuting Cao Cao's face.
This makes the two sides really look like harmonious monarchs and ministers, except for the fact that Cao Cao, Sikong, has monopolized power. However, since ancient times, there are not a few people who have monopolized power. If the emperor does not pursue it and is willing to delegate power, it is also a way to govern the world.
.
You can criticize Cao Cao's character, but you can't criticize Cao Cao's ability. Without Liu Tong holding back at all, Cao Cao appointed talents, and the country started to operate again, and it was better than the group of veterans who had served under Liu Xie.
better.
On Sun Ce's side, Yuan Shu did not go back to Yangzhou with Sun Ce because he wanted to move his family. Sun Ce did not pay much attention to this matter. However, Zhou Yu warned Yuan Shu not to kill too many people, which Yuan Shu scorned.
Yuan Shu officially stated that he would kill if he should kill, even if there were too many kills, he would still kill those he didn't like. Zhou Yu said that he could not communicate with Yuan Shu anymore.
After all, Yuan Shu only had Ji Ling with him. As for Ji Ling, if Ji Ling would advise Yuan Shu, Zhou Yu himself wouldn’t believe it. What a joke. Not to mention that what Yuan Shu did was correct, even if Yuan Shu did something bad, he would have to find a knife.
, Ji Ling will hand it over, this guy is Yuan Shu’s die-hard man.
"Ha, Bo Fu, Gong Jin, you can go back without worries. I won't go back. Those people are still waiting for me!" Yuan Shu looked particularly at ease.
Zhou Yu really didn't want to say anything, but Sun Ce was very excited, "Mr. Yuan, if you encounter problems that you can't solve, remember to ask me to mobilize your troops. I will help you eliminate them."
The faces of the Deng family, Wan family, and Ma family next to them all turned dark. Sun Ce, do you know how to speak? You dare to shout out such words as dispatching troops to eradicate them.
Zhou Yu raised his forehead with a speechless expression, "What is this?" He pulled Sun Ce and was about to leave. He dared to shout in front of the aristocratic family, "I will send troops to help you eradicate Sun Ce."
"If there is a need, I will definitely come to you!" Yuan Shu, who was also a second-rate person, answered directly.
"Mr. Yuan, remember to go back to Yangzhou." Sun Ce was dragged by Zhou Yu, but he did not forget to wave to Yuan Shu.
"My son, he's not bad." After Sun Ce was taken away by Zhou Yu, Yuan Shu proudly introduced him to a group of people.
Everyone congratulated Yuan Shu with twitching faces. Everyone knew what happened to Sun Ce.
"Let's go north!" Yuan Shu waved his hand and shouted energetically, regardless of the other people's twitching expressions.
Several families following Yuan Shu sighed. Yuan Shu was a bit unreliable, but since the signature was signed, he could only take one step at a time.
In fact, all major aristocratic families have this idea now, and they have no choice. Yuan Shu has killed many aristocratic families. This guy is unscrupulous, but it is not unscrupulous. At least he is doing things according to the prescribed line.
But to be fair, Yuan Shu is not a normal person. Although this guy can argue, but except for a few families with a clean family reputation, no normal family has any dirty information, so arguing with Yuan Shu is a bit risky.
Therefore, these northern aristocratic families really don't dare not to move. With the character of that bastard Yuan Shu, since the signature is signed, the other party will definitely come to check according to the time point.
As for the so-called mediation team composed of the respected elders selected from major aristocratic families, that's nonsense. Just Sima Jun and Chen Ji, these old guys with dirt buried up to their necks, follow the mediation team here and there. , if you die on the way, who’s to blame?
Therefore, the so-called mediation team composed of thirty-six respected seniors plus Yuan Shu is actually only Yuan Shu who is really running around. The other thirty-six bosses are all squatting in various houses, waiting until Yuan Shu runs away. When you go to those places, they will come forward to support the situation.
Okay, this is nonsense. Thirty-six plus one. To put it bluntly, the most important thing is the one, which is Yuan Shu. The seniors in the mediation team are all a group of guys who are as good as Sima Jun. These people can see Not clear about the current trend?
The meaning of its existence, Xun Shuang and his group have said, is stable migration, which will save Yuan Shu from going crazy. They are not stupid. At this stage, even justice is no longer on their heads. If they don't just slide along, Isn’t that just seeking death?
It is precisely because of this that the northern aristocratic families, under the advice of big bosses from all over the country, have begun to move north with their tenants, servants, and common people who are willing to follow. However, this speed cannot be too fast, even if the carriages and horses Everything is in place, the roads are smooth, and some people have made plans in advance. It will not take too short a time to complete the migration.
As for those who still can’t see the situation clearly and are unwilling to move, Chen Xi has no choice. The era of change rarely involves bloodshed. It’s best to be like Zou Ji’s reform. The entire Qi State will be driven by interests and become stronger day by day. There was no mass killing, but in the process, some nobles declined and some rose.
As a person with vested interests, how can he tolerate his gradual withdrawal from the position of the ruling class? This is the origin of the contradictions of the reform. This is also the reason why no matter how many interests there are, as long as the reform is carried out, bloodshed will basically be inevitable. At most, there will be only as much bloodshed as possible.
In fact, Zou Ji's kind and Chen Xi's kind can be regarded as bloodless reforms under the background of the great era. However, Chen Xi cannot guarantee that the completely bloodless reforms can achieve the current level. He has tried his best. .
As for going further, Chen Xi may be able to do it, but it is meaningless. From the perspective of maximizing profits, the comparison between input and output is no longer worth it.
You may not get what you want if you pursue details too much. Time and energy are very valuable at any time.
After solving the problems of wealthy families left over from the early Eastern Han Dynasty, for Chen Xi, the control of the country has only really begun from now on. In the past, regardless of whether it was recognized or not, it was basically difficult for the imperial power to control county-level units.
After solving the problems left over from history, as a new government, decrees can actually be issued to everyone, avoiding the control of individuals by local clans to a large extent.
Of course, this is not enough. We need to go further. It is time to resolve the clan system and the fact that patriarchal laws are greater than national laws.
After working for so many years, it is only now that China in the late Han Dynasty has been truly brought back to the right path. Chen Xi feels that he is good enough. A unified country can have foreign barriers, but domestically it will never allow the country to be independent. country.
