"Yes, except for the glory left by my ancestors, I still had nothing not long ago, but now I have five thousand elites, a reputation among the princes, and a foundation to support the Han Dynasty!" Liu Bei said slightly.
With a gloomy look on his face, he gradually became excited with his words, and his eyes seemed to be shining with light as he looked at Chen Xi.
"Yes, there are so many, but these are not enough, far from enough, and the difference is too far. Not only compared with the Yuan family of the Fourth Generation and Three Dukes, but also compared with some powerful people, except for fame, everything else is far away.
Not as good as that!" There was a sneer on Chen Xi's face that couldn't be removed. He was too young. Liu Bei is too young now!
"Please advise me, sir." Liu Bei straightened up and said solemnly. This was the first time Liu Bei spoke to Chen Xi so solemnly since he made Liu Bei a prince.
"It doesn't have to be like this." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "Fame seems to be very important. It seems that you can get a lot of things, but fame is empty. Only strength is the most important!"
"At the time of Duke Xiao of Qin, the state of Qin was weak, and the princes would not entertain the alliance, and none of the wise men in the world entered the Western Qin Dynasty. However, Shang Yang entered the Qin Dynasty, defeated Wei Wu and died in Hexi, establishing the strong army of the Western Qin Dynasty, and now the world is famous for it.
This is violent! After that, most of the talented people in the world will enter Xianyang! The princes of Guandong fear Qin as much as a tiger!" A look of fanaticism appeared on Chen Xi's face.
"The princes are fighting for the throne, seeking truth rather than fame. There is no meaning in the Spring and Autumn Period for three hundred years, only profit!" Chen Xi sneered again and again. What was he fighting for in troubled times? Thousands of years of history have already been written in front of him.
Liu Bei was speechless and slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he was not shaken at all. "Zichuan, to be honest, I have never thought that someone could see all this so clearly."
!”
"Nothing, these things are very simple. As a monarch, you don't have to know the emperor's mental skills, but there is one thing you must know, and that is how to make yourself powerful. When your strength reaches a certain level, all the rules will follow.
The monarch's words and deeds change." Chen Xi said with a hint of confusion on his face, "A monarch who relies on the emperor's mind to control his subordinates can only say that he is not qualified. A real monarch does not bother to play with these things!"
"Zi... Zichuan." Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi stiffly as if he was frightened. The emperor's mind was shaken out, and he still had such a disdainful look.
"Xuan De Gong, what are you afraid of?" Chen Xi asked calmly, "If it is really as written on the jade seal, 'If you are ordered by heaven, you will live forever'. How did Dong Zhuo's rebellion come about? It can only be said that he was ordered by the people in the first place.
Then he separated from the people, and was finally destroyed by the people. The people are like water, and the king is like a boat. Water can carry the boat, and it can also overturn it. This is the cycle of reincarnation that has not changed since ancient times."
Chen Xi's words echoed in Liu Bei's mind like bells in the morning and drums in the evening. He understood many questions that he had not been able to figure out before. He saw the people changing their children and eating in the famine years, the drunken life and dreams of the wealthy families in Luoyang, and the soldiers fighting for one thing.
He had a good meal, a bloody battle on the battlefield, and also witnessed the drinking and music in the general's camp. These things just happened in front of him.
"Zichuan, please don't say such words again!" Liu Bei, who came back to his senses, took a deep look at Chen Xi, and then said solemnly.
"Did I say anything?" Chen Xi burped, "If Mr. Xuande has anything to ask, you can ask it now."
"How to capture Taishan County, how to become stronger, how..." Liu Bei gritted his teeth, "How to bring peace to the troubled times!"
Chen Xi smiled slightly, "Settling the troubled times is not something that can be done now. What we have to do before that is to become strong and strong enough. Taishan County is a good place, Qingzhou is a good place, with three million bandits, three or four
Chengdu is full of young people. If we capture these people and train them a little, they will not be able to achieve the power of the Western Qin Dynasty, but they can still sit back and watch the wars of the world like Tian Qi!"
"That being said, it is indeed a good place, but it will be very difficult to pacify." Liu Bei sighed and said.
"On the contrary, it is not very difficult to pacify them. As long as Xuande Gong can persuade Tao Gongzu to borrow food, capture Taishan County, and then engulf Qingzhou, it will not be too difficult. If those people have a way to survive, they will not become bandits. The most important thing is
The point is that except for Bingzhou and Qingzhou, which have been smashed by the Yellow Turbans and bandits, the powerful and aristocratic families in other places cannot be dealt with by Xuande Gong." Chen Xi squinted his eyes and said, he knew the general direction of dealing with Qingzhou very well, and could even handle it.
It is said that he knows the general direction of dealing with the Thirteen States of the Han Dynasty!
"Since Zichuan has such confidence, I'm willing to give it a try!" Liu Bei made up his mind without much thought after listening to Chen Xi's words. More than thirty years of experience have made Liu Bei know one thing clearly. In this era, aristocratic families and
The power of the powerful is very powerful, powerful enough to control the imperial power. It is simply beyond the reach of a small prince like him who has not yet formed. If he pulls his whole body and inexplicably attracts the hostility of the powerful family, then the road ahead will be difficult.
gone.
"Okay, just give it a try. You have to try to know. If you don't try, does anyone know that it won't work? Before Xiang Yu broke Zhang Han, who knew that he could win the battle? He always has to try.
That’s all.”
"Aristocratic and powerful family, hey..." Liu Bei sighed, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Those people are also the foundation. Although there are indeed some scum among them, it is undeniable that 90% of the elite of the Han Dynasty come from this class. Before you have an absolute advantage, you should not think about dealing with this class." Chen Xi shook his head and said,
To be honest, he doesn't have much ill feelings towards aristocratic and powerful families. After all, in this era, apart from land annexation, this class is beneficial to the entire country.
The most basic management relies on these powerful people who are rooted in this land. It is undeniable that there are some scum among them, but it is obvious that the mistakes of those who overturned a whole boat with one pole are more serious. If we really uproot these powerful people from aristocratic families and re-establish a new one,
System, Chen Xi gets a headache just thinking about it.
Because of this, the only thing Chen Xi can think of when it comes to the powerful families is to restrict and recruit a group of powerful people. If he really wants to eliminate the powerful families, Chen Xi feels that he must eliminate his own family first. If he treats everyone equally, there are some things in the Chen family that he can't see.
Something you are used to.
Since he could not lead by example, Chen Xi gave up the idea of fighting against the aristocratic family. However, in order to prevent the powerful aristocratic family from seizing Liu Bei's lifeline while Liu Bei was weak and forcing Liu Bei to kill him in the end, Chen Xi started from the beginning.
I chose Qingzhou where all the powerful families were basically wiped out!
This is why Chen Xi almost didn't think twice about the questions Liu Bei asked, because even if Kong Rong and Tao Qian didn't recommend them, Chen Xi, Queen of Qin, would ask Liu Bei to recommend himself as the governor of Qingzhou! Naturally, all the issues have been considered long ago!
