Three Kingdoms

The fig leaf of the Emperor of Han seems to be increasingly unable to withstand the torment and is almost transparent. This is already obvious to many people.

In Wang Can's eyes, the same is true, just like the fig leaf he used when he was in Luoyang.

Wang Can's journey was also very bumpy. He went from Luoyang to Chang'an, and then from Chang'an to Luoyang. He originally thought that he would follow the Han Emperor to some extent, but he did not expect that he would follow so hard, almost life and death, and still not receive much attention. , and even almost died in Luoyang.

It's both funny and sad to say. At that time, Luoyang was in ruins, and many officials could only huddle under the broken eaves and broken walls, struggling to survive. That night, Wang Can couldn't bear the cold. He realized that he would definitely die if he continued to live under the broken eaves, so he gritted his teeth and ignored his face. He secretly climbed over the wall and sneaked into a mansion that was still sheltered from the wind and cold. He also stole some Food eaten...

As a result, Wang Can survived that night, but the dozen or so people who were originally with Wang Can under the broken eaves all froze to death that night. At that time, many people froze to death. At dawn, civilians and soldiers came to load the frozen corpses one by one into trucks and threw them into the valley outside the city. They didn't even care about the corpses entangled in a pile. Whether it was fourteen or fifteen people, anyway, the people who froze to death were basically naked and turned purple, so no one wanted to take a second look.

Perhaps Wang Can was ashamed to admit that he was surviving as a thief by climbing over the wall, perhaps he was a little guilty for not reminding his friends to escape together, or perhaps he was completely disappointed with staying in Luoyang, and finally followed the refugees all the way to Jingxiang …

When Wang Can was in Jingxiang, he and some of the Qing Dynasties in the field were grieving, and they couldn't help but start to think about what happened in the past few years, trying to find out from these events the root cause of the entire Han Dynasty, so as to Make some criticisms and suggestions for the current national policy.

Just like the taxi drivers in the Imperial City in later generations, if they talk about state affairs and cannot immediately come up with a twenty-one or thirty-one suggested measures, it will simply lose the face of the imperial capital's Qingliu!

After a period of discussion and debate, Wang Can came to a conclusion. He believed that the biggest problem of the Han Dynasty was that the imperial power was not strong.

Looking at all the emperors of the Han Dynasty, you will find that when the imperial power is strong, it is when the Han Dynasty is stable and strong internally and externally, such as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, such as Emperor Guangwu, but if the imperial power is weak, such as Emperor Chong of the Han Dynasty...

There was also the former Young Emperor of Han.

After the death of Emperor Ling, the young emperor ascended the throne and had to rely on his relatives to consolidate the imperial power. However, his relatives, the He family, were unable to bear this important task and were beheaded by Yuan family and others with borrowed swords. Immediately, order collapsed and the world was in chaos.

Once upon a time, Wang Can and other gentry descendants believed that the Yuan family represented the gentry in the world, and that in purging their relatives, they were actually helping the country. However, Wang Can later discovered through constant thinking that the Yuan family actually had other thoughts, and the most important thing was that they were also helping the country. Yes, it was precisely because of Yuan's concession or acquiescence that it led to Dong Zhuo's tyranny, and ultimately led to the chaos and decline of the entire Han Dynasty.

This is something that makes Wang Can feel a little embarrassed. After all, he once admired Yuan Shao very much and thought that Yuan Shao was a great hero and the number one figure in the Han Dynasty...

Yuan Shao fell down, and after the golden light covering his body disappeared, Wang Can discovered that behind the gorgeous beauty filter, there was dry and wrinkled fur.

Liu Biao is a member of the royal family, so he should be good, but his experience in Jingxiang ultimately disappointed Wang Can...

So is the new guardian of imperial power, Cao Cao, a new mainstay of imperial power who can restore the Han Dynasty to its original glory?

Wang Can once thought that Cao Cao could shoulder this important task, but the subsequent Dong Guiren incident seemed to pour cold water on Wang Can.

It turns out that Cao Cao is nothing more than this!

Can it be said that there are no loyal people in the world, no people with lofty ideals to help the country? ?

Wang Can believes that at least he is still full of loyalty in his heart.

But for Wang Can, he alone cannot bear such a heavy responsibility, so the hussar general Fei Qian naturally became Wang Can's first choice. If you want to know the hussar general's attitude towards the Han Emperor, then What the generals who commanded the military power under the Husband thought, naturally became Wang Can's first target to observe.

Could it be that Wang Can didn't know that he would lead his troops to attack Xu County and look for an opportunity to meet the Han Emperor? Does such a big thing definitely require the approval of the Hussars General?

Wang Can naturally understands this, but he also understands that Taishi Ci is the most powerful general closest to Xu County, and his attitude also represents the attitude of the hussar generals to a certain extent...

Of course, if Taishi Ci can be interested and tell Wang Can some specific things, whether it is the discussion of the specific steps of the plan to welcome the emperor, or the difficulties he is facing now, etc., Wang Can can imagine that everything will be done. It was a good performance, but unfortunately, Taishi Ci's attitude was very bland, and he didn't even seem to have the desire to say more. After listening to Wang Can's suggestions, he just said that he knew it, and then asked After asking if he had any other suggestions, he immediately said that he had heavy official duties, said a few polite words, and sent Wang Can out.

In terms of etiquette, there was no problem, but Wang Can seemed to feel that Tai Shici's attitude was too cold. Could it be that General Hussar was the same as Cao Cao, who seemed to obey on the surface, but actually wanted to be a powerful minister in his heart?

Or...

Wang Can decided that he really needed to go to Chang'an to see with his own eyes. Wang Can now believes that he not only represents himself, but also represents all the people in the world who are determined to help the great man!

So when Wang Can left, he didn't notice the trace of ridicule in Yang Xiu's eyes...

Wang Can was thinking about something, and Yang Xiu actually had a pretty good guess. But today's Yang Xiu, whether it is different from the one back then or from history, has some differences due to some special experiences.

In the ups and downs of the past few years, Yang Xiu believed that even if he was King Qin or Qing Jun, even if he brought the emperor to Chang'an, he would not be able to quickly revitalize the country. Will give up the interests in their hands easily. The second one is that including Yang Xiu himself, all the princes have not come up with an obviously feasible strategy for the reform of the Han Dynasty...

There is something wrong with the big man's body. It should not be a national policy or a new policy. Even if it can be saved for a while, it cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Without restructuring and revising national policies, it would be difficult for Han Zuo to continue.

If there had been more people like Wang Can supporting the imperial power a few years earlier, when the balance of power between the various princes and the central court had not been completely broken, I am afraid the situation would not have ended up like this. The growth of the power of the princes in various places has led to the further deterioration of the central court. Now, we talk about the emperor of the Han Dynasty and the central court, but in fact it has become a complete puppet, even worse than any previous young emperor of the Han Dynasty. more serious!

Regarding the relationship between the Emperor and Cao Cao, Yang Xiu has actually been observing and thinking. If Cao Cao's strength increases, will there be any new measures to revitalize the imperial line? So what will the Cavalry General do in turn? Should we consider the common people of the world and quickly stabilize the country, or should we fight to the end?

With no answer to everything, Yang Xiu felt that the only option was to wait quietly.

Waiting for other princes to have problems, or for the cavalry general Fei Qian to have problems.

Yang Xiu felt that the Cavalry General Fei Qian was not completely without problems now. The biggest drawback of the hussar generals today is excessive military power, or in other words, military rule.

This is a very troublesome thing.

Judging from the current situation, in order to help the country, we cannot do without warriors fighting. However, warriors are too powerful and will bring great disadvantages after they come to court...

This was clearly demonstrated from Dong Zhuo before him to Li Guo later.

For so many years, it seems that scholars have held power and warriors have conquered all directions. This seems to have become a consensus among the Han Dynasty. But now, warriors suddenly control the court? Scholars are the pens in the hands of the Han Dynasty, writing thoughts and issuing edicts, while warriors are the swords and guns in the hands of the Han Dynasty, protecting the country. Scholars and warriors are like the two hands of the Han Dynasty. Each performs its duties and has its own place. Now the warrior's sword and spear seemed to have a mind of its own, and he even raised his sword and spear to kill the other hand and seriously injured the big man's body.

It may not be difficult for a person to let go of the interests and authority in his hands. One day he has an epiphany, becomes discouraged, or for some other reason. Just let it go. But for a group of people, a whole level of people, It is not so easy to learn to let go.

Yang Xiu believed that General Fei Qian of the Cavalry seemed to be learning to let go and began to adjust the proportion of scholars and warriors. The sutra conference to be held at Qinglong Temple in Chang'an seemed to prove this, but Yang Xiu also I am also a little worried, because authority is different from other things, and it is extremely difficult to divide and weigh it. Even if Fei Qian is willing to let go, will the other warriors who follow Fei Qian be willing to let go?

Sometimes Yang Xiu would also think that Dong Zhuo was actually very pitiful.

Yang Xiu believes that Dong Zhuo was just like holding a gold plate and jade bowl and going to the streets to beg...

Previously, Yang Biao and Yang Xiu also thought that Fei Qian would follow in Dong Zhuo's footsteps, so they both thought that Fei Qian would not last long and immediately launched an army to conquer him. However, they later discovered that Fei Qian was completely different from Dong Zhuo and his like, so ever since Hongnong Yang also suffered a big setback in this regard and has not fully recovered yet.

But the Cavalry General seems to want to let soldiers and warriors work together under the same roof?

This is not impossible, but if you want to do this, you must have a strong balancing figure, like Emperor Gaozu, Emperor Xiaowu, or Emperor Guangwu...

And today...

Yang Xiu looked at the smoke and dust of Wang Can and his party that had disappeared in the distance, and remained silent for a long time.

Why did most of the emperors of the Han Dynasty after Emperor Gaozu and Guangwu choose to rely on scholars instead of relying on warriors?

Don't these emperors know how to make good use of military personnel to protect their families and the land, and help the country? Or is it that warriors are born to be arrogant, bend the law and endanger the country, so they have to guard against it?

neither.

The reason is both simple and complex. However, now it just depends on how the Cavalry General Fei Qian will solve it. Anyway, the Hongnong Yang family has a century-old foundation and does not care about waiting for this period of time. Why should Wang Can be so anxious?

And to take a step back, even if the Cavalry General Fei Qian can handle it well, what about the next generation of the Cavalry General?

hehe……

"Zhongxuan..." Yang Xiu muttered softly, "You said it early..."

However, it's not bad to let Wang Can go explore the road first, since it has nothing to do with him anyway. Yang Xiu turned around and said to the guard on the side: "You go back and pack your bags, and then report to General Taishi, saying that I will go to inspect the fields and collect autumn gifts. I will be in the countryside for a while. Please excuse me." At dianmao..."

……e=e=e=（⊙.⊙）……

As the saying goes, it's difficult to reconcile everyone's opinions.

One person has his own ideas, and ten thousand people have ten thousand ideas. Even because of mutual influence, the original ideas are constantly changing, and eventually become one hundred thousand ideas, one million tastes...

Although the Cavalry General Fei Qian seemed relaxed when he said it, Pang Tong knew that this was a far-reaching matter and should not be taken lightly, so even if there were more and more wrinkles on his belly, he did not dare to ignore it and treat Qinglong again. After sifting through all the affairs of the temple again, he finally took a breath and stretched his aching shoulders.

The time for the Qinglong Temple meeting was initially set at November.

On the one hand, it is because after the autumn harvest, it is rare to have such a period of free time, whether in the countryside or in cities and towns. The second reason is because only after the autumn harvest can we ensure that there are sufficient supplies to support the vainly increasing population. It will not seriously affect the original price of goods in Chang'an.

During this period of time, many people came to Chang'an one after another, including nobles from the nearby area, as well as children from other families who heard the news and came from afar.

Not to mention the descendants of the nearby Yang family, the Wang family, the Wei family, the Sima family, and other families, as well as some family members in Jingxiang, the more remote Chen family of Yingchuan came, the Wang family of Langya came, and the Gu family of Wujun came. , the Yuyao family came, and even the Shanyin He family and the Taiyang family sent their descendants, and there were even some Zhang family, Shen family, and Li family who came over the mountains and ridges from Sichuan and Shu. Waiting for a while, there was a lot of excitement inside and outside the Wuling Tombs in Chang'an.

With so many people gathered together, naturally there are different opinions.

The formal meeting has not yet been held, but many small meetings have been held in advance. After the polite greetings, they gradually became a bit rude, and it was inevitable that they would disagree with each other and argue with each other.

Some people say that General Hussar regained the frontier and contributed to the country. However, some people say that General Hussar is putting the cart before the horse. The country has not been calmed down, and he focuses his energy on the outside. Hearing about the Hussar fighting this and that every day, he is tired of it. Why don't you pay close attention to the Han Dynasty at home and fight outside all day long...

Some people say that the new land policy is conducive to pacifying the refugees, encouraging farming, and stimulating soldiers to fight bravely. Some people say that the new land policy is to equalize the land. It seems to be average, but in fact it is the most uneven. If there is more than is lost, the deficient will be made up for. If things go on like this, who else will More than willing? This is tantamount to destroying the foundation!

Some people say that the Han hussars are rigorous in appearance, well-organized in governance, and have gathered the refugees. The law of farming is good governance and should be widely used in the world. Others say that farming takes away most of the land, which actually causes greater harm to ordinary people. Why? Can it be promoted to the world?

All kinds of weird discussions are everywhere, and some funny things even happen...

Several clerks gathered together while taking a rest.

"Do you know what happened in the bookstore yesterday when Mr. Li of Zhao County painted a painting? Haha... it's really funny..."

"You didn't say anything, why are you laughing on your own?"

"Haha, you don't know? Haha, it was Zhaojun Li who drew a turtle dove, and then Lanling Xiao was standing aside and said that the 'chicken' he painted was very expressive, hahahaha, no, let me laugh for a while ...Hahahahahaha..."

"Oh? Hahaha, is there such a thing?"

"Turtledove... hahaha... chicken... hahaha... uh... I've seen, uh, I've seen Fat, Fat Ambassador..." The clerk who was smiling happily suddenly saw Pang Tong coming out of the corner of the corridor. , quickly held it back and bowed to Pang Tong.

"Why were you laughing just now?" Pang Tong had a dark face. Damn it, labor and management are so hard, and you and I are smiling so happily, come on, tell me, what’s so happy about it that makes me happy too?

The two clerks looked at each other and reluctantly repeated what they had just said.

"Is it a turtledove or a chicken?" Pang Tong laughed up to the sky twice, then waved his hand to drive away the two clerks, and then slowly stopped smiling, "Haha, turtledove? Chicken? Humph... these guys !”
