Three Kingdoms

The meeting between the king and his ministers naturally involves some repertoire, and a large number of articles are included between the memorials.

Under Fei Qian's temptation, um, hint, um, that's it anyway, Liu Xie walked to Fei Qian's side, which was considered to have released a small signal, and many officials were shouting on the mountain. After that, colors began to be delivered to each other in the queue...

This is no wonder.

Fei Qian had been relatively humble in the court several times. Even when he was sidelined by Zhong Shao and others last time, he did not show any violent actions. In addition, Fei Qian was originally relatively young. , and there are no inherent connections in the court, so although some information has been transmitted, it is not very eye-catching.

To these officials, the big men seemed to be around the emperor, up and down the hall.

As for Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, etc., they were good and put down the rebellions in all directions, but after returning to the court, don't they still have to obey others obediently?

Military merits are a bit unsettled in the world now, but how can these numerous military merits compete with the inheritance of three to four hundred years of aristocratic families?

To govern the country, we still need to rely on scriptures and policies. Those warriors who can only ride horses, whip, wield swords and spears should use them when needed and put them aside when not needed...

This concept has always existed, and it is still the mainstream in the court.

During the period of Emperor Heng and Ling Emperor, although the country was declining day by day, this was only seen from the perspective of bystanders in later generations. For these officials of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty was still prosperous, and some minor setbacks were harmless.

But now, Fei Qian, as the general who conquered the west, showed a tough stance, openly confronting Yang Biao, and even suppressing Yang Biao. What does this mean?

Is the big man really going to change his mind now?

There was Dong Zhuo in the front and Li Guo in the back. Although they were defeated one after another, there were still two Yuans in Jizhou and Yuzhou. Even the original Qingliu people like Yang Biao also led troops...

It seems that the current court of the Han Dynasty has begun to undergo some special changes?

And in the face of such changes, where should we go?

This has become a brand new topic for some people with some brains and ideas...

"His Majesty!"

Yang Biao took a few steps forward and stood in front of Liu Xie. He held his hands in front of him and said in a loud, cadenced voice:

"... I have been fortunate enough to serve as a minister for more than 20 years... I have been favored by the late emperor, and I have been taught the principles of benevolence and righteousness. I have been trustworthy and sincere, frugal and simple, and have always been loyal to you. With the sound of virtue in my ears, I dare not or forget it. …”

"... In the early days of Luoyang, Your Majesty loved gentlemen, stayed away from small people, did not value foreign things, and did not do anything useless. He encouraged farmers and mulberry trees, observed the weather, increased the labor force, and promoted the vastness of the country. This is the virtue of heaven, and the world is also determined... …”

"...Zi Gong asked about the treatment. Confucius once said, "If you are as tired as a rotten rope to control six horses, you should also be guided by the Tao, so that you will not have to work to protect the people. Only if you cherish it like a son can you always prosper..."

"... Today there is an epidemic, there is frost and drought, and the people are displaced. Every ten households are different. When your Majesty is calming down Funing, stabilizing the people, and restoring farming, how can you listen to the slander and leave the palace rashly..."

"...Since Your Majesty moved the capital to Chang'an, natural disasters have occurred frequently. There is no way for blessings and disasters. They can only be called by people. People have no provocation, and monsters do not act recklessly. Today's warning sign is that the country is born with evil and ugliness. This is God's call. I hope your majesty will return the capital to Luoyang immediately in order to obey the will of God and calm the hearts of the people..."

Fei Qian squinted his eyes slightly and stood quietly without making a sound.

It's not that Fei Qian doesn't understand, it's just that he's too lazy to pay attention. Most of what Yang Biao said was not wrong, but he mixed a small amount of Yang Biao's own things into it, and used this to guide Liu Xie to think in the direction Yang Biao wanted. This cannot but be He is said to be a seasoned politician.

There was another elder statesman beside him, so Fei Qian naturally didn't need to exert too much effort.

Although Zhong Shao was now physically exhausted, he still kept his spirits up. After hearing Yang Biao's words, he immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands and said:

"...Your Majesty, I have lived in Longzhong for a long time and am well aware of the rise and fall of this place. Since the rise of the Han Dynasty, Guanzhong has flourished, and the Five Tombs in Kyoto are blooming and shining in all directions. However, Guangwu established his capital in Luo, and Hulu suddenly arose, and the robberies Looting the borders, making small profits from small things, and making big profits from big things, killing officials and bandits, breaking people's morale, and fleeing for safety..."

"...The three assistants of Jingzhao are all your Majesty's subjects. The Qiang and Hu Ping rebelled again. Fortunately, thanks to the spirit of Sheji, they were able to follow the emperor's clear edict and compile the soldiers. They strictly enforced their discipline, and the wounded people were defeated. The Qiang and Hu were defeated. They are all in Longyou, Guanzhong is very lucky, and the whole world is very lucky..."

"...An old minister once heard that there are clouds in the art of war. There are mountains and forests with piles of rocks, plains and vast fields, rivers and valleys in between, vines, reeds and bamboos, green grass and trees, and various species of trees. Those who are not familiar with the art of war cannot choose. If a soldier does not choose and practice, the soldiers will not obey. Practice, lack of precision in daily life, lack of concentration of movement and stillness, pursuit of advantage, failure to take refuge, striking in front and retreating later, missing the golden drum, this is not a good general and cannot be practiced; the weapon is not good, and it is used to kill the enemy; if the soldier cannot be used, Because he will give his generals to the enemy; because his generals do not know the soldiers, he will use his main spear to attack the enemy; if the king does not choose his generals, he will give his country to the enemy; therefore, choosing good generals and commanding brave soldiers are the most important tasks of the country..."

"...Nowadays, there are many people in the court who are in charge of the morning, who do not know the military affairs but kill the soldiers, which is the root of the defeat of the army; there are also people with honest faces who speak and act arrogantly but have ulterior motives, which is really harmful to the foundation of the country; Your Majesty also needs to do everything. Pay attention and screen carefully, don't let villains get their ambitions, and good ministers will be polluted..."

"... Guanzhong Jingzhao is the place where the great Han Dynasty flourished. Since Your Majesty is here because of God's will, is there any reason to move to Heluo again? Now that the epidemic is gradually calming down and the bandit soldiers have subsided, it is the time to recuperate and recuperate, and to bring good fortune to all people. How can it be so? Can you waste people and money and move the capital again? Such an unnatural thing must never be done..."

Hmm, not bad, not bad.

Fei Qian silently gave Zhong Shao a thumbs up.

In fact, both Yang Biao and Zhong Shao were right. This was also a commonly used method in the court. They used great principles to establish their own arguments, and then used small private goods mixed in to suppress their opponents.

For Yang Biao, taking His Majesty to Luoyang is naturally the best choice. However, for Zhong Shao, returning to Guanzhong Chang'an is what he wants. Therefore, the respective goals of these two people are naturally fundamentally different. It is already irreconcilable.

Normally speaking, at this time, since the bosses of both sides have already raised their flags and started fighting head-on, the younger brothers will naturally jump out and wave the flag to cheer for their respective bosses. This is also the time to show off their respective strengths. As the emperor, , in such a situation, we should not only pay attention to whether the arguments of both sides are right or wrong, but also pay attention to whether the power of both sides is balanced. Otherwise, even if it is right, we must also measure whether it is worth it...

However, the current situation is a bit delicate.

If it were normal, there would definitely be a few people who beat up the drowned dog, but now Zhong Shao, Fei Qian, and Yang Biao have strangely become the three corners affecting the current situation. Fei Qian has never expressed his position, and these small officials can't figure it out. Knowing what kind of medicine Fei Qian sells in this gourd, naturally he would not jump out and stand out rashly.

What's more, it's obviously a fight between the kings of hell. You kid, it's better not to come forward and seek death. Let's wait and decide the winner...

Therefore, the rest of the officials unanimously chose to remain silent.

But obviously, Liu Xie didn't understand this.

Liu Xie ascended the throne at a young age. No one taught him how to deal with such a situation before he ascended the throne, nor after he ascended the throne. Similarly, Liu Xie rarely encountered such a situation where both sides held different opinions and opposed each other.

Regardless of whether it was during the Dong Zhuo period, Wang Yun period, or even after Li Guo, Liu Xie was used to being an echoing puppet most of the time, saying something when a person in power said something, and then he asked, "Dear sirs, What do you think?" Then naturally there was a chorus of approval and admiration. Liu Xie finally said "accurately" and it was over...

In the previous fights between Zhong Shao and Yang Biao, they were basically not in public in the court. They each used their own moves, and then went to Liu Xie to tell Liu Xie to stamp them, without asking Liu Xie. Is it okay for Xie to do this? Is it right? Do you have any opinions? But now, suddenly the two sides are in opposition. They talk a lot, and then look at Liu Xie helplessly, which makes Liu Xie somewhat at a loss.

For Liu Xie, Zhong Shao was the one who rescued him from Li Guo, but Yang Biao was also a world-famous member of the Guan clan. Even his father Ling Emperor respected him extremely when he was alive, and now the two My personal meaning seems to be completely opposite...

Liu Xie looked at Zhong Shao and then at Yang Biao, hesitant.

The scene fell silent for a moment, and a strange atmosphere spread within it.

Sometimes it is like this. The more silent there is, the greater the pressure of the surrounding air seems to be, and the distance between people will become farther and farther in the senses. They are obviously close at hand, but it seems that there is an invisible barrier between them. The gap is general.

Liu Xie looked left and right, and couldn't help but turn his eyes to Fei Qian, blinking pitifully, as if asking Fei Qian for help.

Following Liu Xie's gaze, the rest of the people also looked at Fei Qian. Unknowingly, at this moment, everyone also placed Fei Qian in a position where he could be compared with Zhong Shao and Yang Biao and compete with each other.

"...Your Majesty," Fei Qian saw this, cupped his hands, and the armor scales on his body suddenly made a small crackling sound, "...I have often heard that God is benevolent and loves people. He is not a person in the world of great destruction. , Heaven is trying to support and keep it safe. Your Majesty is diligent, sees the benefits, and makes up for the shortcomings with joy and virtue. The poem says, "The bandits are solved at night", and the same is true for Your Majesty..."

"... Confucius once said, Virtue is not alone, there must be neighbors. The emperor is not a man in the field. Your majesty accepts the wishes of heaven and corrects its actions. Therefore, the king accepts heaven to rectify the four directions and upholds benevolence and virtue. All peoples…”

"...If it is abolished as a rule, even though there are good works, it cannot be adjusted; if it is decadent, even if there are great sages, it cannot be cured. Now Your Majesty wants to obtain the tools of good work and the talents of great sages, so he will be saved according to the rules. In other words, listen to the words of hundreds of rivers and look at the four seas. The world is so big that it is not one city or one pond, nor one county or one county. It is the other side of the waves of the East China Sea, the distant mountains with lush forests in the south, the Hu State with flying sand in the west, and the desert in the north. The ice and snow, the boundless sky above our heads, and the vast thick soil beneath our feet are all the territory of the Han Dynasty, how can there be any distinction between distant, near, and distant relatives?"

"...the place of capital, the place where the Han Dynasty flourished, the water of Heluo, and the territory of Guangwu. Although they have different names, they are all the same. They are all the Han people, the city of Han, and your Majesty does not need to worry about this. As the saying goes, it is the place established by your Majesty. Which place is not the Xuande Hall, where His Majesty rests, and where is it not the Fanglin Garden? Your Majesty can decide for yourself..."

After Fei Qian finished speaking, he smiled slightly, glanced at Liu Xie, and took a step back to express his attitude towards this matter.

Yang Biao: "..."

Zhong Shao: "..."

Other officials: "..."

After a short silence, the people around him couldn't help but talk to each other in low voices, for no other reason. Although Fei Qian's words were slightly suspected of flattering Liu Xie, the super-powerful words revealed in his words The extraordinary vision made these Han officials who originally just stared at the wooden boards and blue bricks in the court feel inexplicably novel.

However, this paragraph is not biased towards Zhong Shao, nor is it biased towards Yang Biao's words, which also shows Fei Qian's current status. The alliance between Fei Qian and Zhong Shao came to an end, but he had nothing to do with Yang Biao. Fei Qian was Fei Qian, the general who conquered the west, and the leader of the entire Bingbei political group. He was indeed independent of Zhong Shao and Yang Biao. the power of an external third party.

Among the officials' discussions, Fei Qian seemed very natural, looking at Liu Xie encouragingly and smiling slightly.

This is also Fei Qian’s own thoughts. The world is so big that even if we put all our efforts into it, we may not be able to swallow much. Moreover, there are so many good things around, whether it is food or use. , there are so many people who can pursue technological advancement in the future, so why bother staring at the small circle in front of you and then fighting for your life in it?

Although Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was good, and although it was very satisfying to hold the emperor in power to control the princes, it was not necessary for Fei Qian himself. Therefore, for Fei Qian, whether Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty went to Chang'an or Luoyang, It’s all okay, it really doesn’t matter.

The caravans going to the Western Regions have already set off, the people heading to ancient India have also set off, and the barbarians are also exploring the road to Tanggula Mountain. After these princes in the Central Plains have been fighting to death for three or four years, they might look back and see, Bingbei's technology tree has blossomed and grown out of reach.

Bringing Liu Xie along may not necessarily bring much bonus, and there may be a lot of tedious things to do. Since Zhong Shao and Yang Biao want it, just give it to them. Anyway, the more these two people fight, the more they will fight. Fighting to death will buy Fei Qian more development time...

So Fei Qian told Liu Xie that the world belonged to Liu Xie and he could go wherever he wanted.

However, Fei Qian's smile and encouragement seemed to have too much influence on Liu Xie...

"...Yang Aiqing, what Aiqing Zhong said is reasonable, but...I..." Liu Xie turned his eyes to Fei Qian, seeming to draw the so-called strong strength from Fei Qian, "...I, I am going to Pingyang. ! I want to see the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty, and I want to see the Yin Mountain of Liehou!"

"Aha?!" Fei Qian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

What is this? If you arrange flowers intentionally, they will not bloom, but if you arrange willows unintentionally, they will create shade? How could this happen? Is there anyone coming? Please take this half-assed kid away first...

Three long paragraphs of prose in one chapter, the author is exhausted from writing... I will never do this again... Add a chicken drumstick for dinner, at least to replenish the brain cells that have suffered heavy losses...
