Three Kingdoms

Wang Can was a little embarrassed. For a moment, his breathing was disordered for more than ten breaths, and he didn't even know which way to put his hands and feet. He knew Liu Qi. In a sense, Liu Qi should also be Wang Can's young master. Now that Wang Can has joined Fei Qian, it is inevitable that he will be at a loss when he suddenly sees Liu Qi.

However, Wang Can quickly reacted and understood the reason why Liu Qi appeared in Chang'an, so he stepped forward and bowed his hands in greeting: "I have met Mr. Liu..."

Liu Qi was also a little surprised, but because Liu Qi set off first, he didn't know anything about Wang Can's subsequent departure from Jingxiang. After meeting Wang Can, he couldn't help being a little surprised and happy. He didn't even notice that Wang Can's title had changed. , blurted out: "Wang Zhongxuan? But father sent you here?"

"This..." Wang Can suddenly didn't know what to say. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I dare not hide it from Mr. Liu. Can is now in charge of Jingxiang..." Sooner or later, this kind of thing cannot be hidden. It's better to say it openly.

But this is what Wang Can thinks, and Liu Qi may not be able to understand it. After hearing Wang Can's words, Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became furious. He pointed at Wang Can and said: "The Liu family treats you well, how can you bear to abandon them! When you first arrived in Jingxiang, you had no clothes and no food. Food is provided by the family Yan personally, holding hands and riding in the car! Now...now..."

Liu Qi glanced at Fei Qian and suddenly realized that he was not in Jingxiang now, but in Chang'an. It seemed that there were some things he couldn't continue to say, so he stopped talking.

Wang Can's face flushed a little, and he glanced at Fei Qian, who seemed to be thoughtful. He couldn't help but feel angry and anxious, and said: "Young Master Liu! Liu Jingzhou provides food and clothing, and this kindness is true. However, I have advised him many times. Liu Jingzhou didn’t accept any of them, and that’s not false! If you don’t accept your words, what’s the use of keeping them?”

"You..." Liu Qi pointed at Wang Can, snorted at the end, turned his head away, breathing heavily, obviously suppressing his anger. It seemed that if Liu Qi had not realized that he was now in the hall of the Hussars General, he would have jumped to his feet.

However, Wang Can recovered earlier and apologized to Fei Qian, "I am rude to you in front of the hussar. I hope the general will forgive me."

Fei Qian watched the play and found it interesting. He waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "This time, I am not a certain person. I thought that both of you are from Jingxiang, so they are somewhat familiar with each other...ah haha, but unexpectedly I lost it." If the two of you are harmonious, I will punish myself with a drink to make amends..."

Liu Qi finally reacted at this time and said: "How dare you... how dare you... lose your composure in the next moment, lose your composure... I hope General Haihan..."

Fei Qian was naturally very generous to Liu Qi, who was obviously not very smart. He smiled and said, "It's okay! It's someone's fault! Mr. Liu, don't worry about it!" It seems that Liu Qi is indeed consistent with the historical figures. Almost like that, he is the kind of good boy who counts money for others after being sold.

No wonder there was also a joke about going up to the house to take out the ladder. It was obviously a double act played by Liu Bei and Brother Zhu, and Liu Qi actually believed it...

Brother Zhu has no good intentions. He seems to be thinking about Liu Qi, but in fact he is laying an ambush for Liu Bei.

Historically, Liu Qi elected his own town. On the surface, it seemed that he had avoided risks, but in fact, he completely lost his status and reputation. If Liu Qi had chosen to stay in Xiangyang at that time and made it clear that he and his horse would compete for the position of successor, he might even get more support from others. In these troubled times, who wants their monarch to be a coward? Being tougher isn't always a bad thing. Even if Cai wanted to harm Liu Qi, she would not dare to do it easily, otherwise it would not be easy to get rid of the bad reputation of a younger brother who killed his elder brother.

In addition, Liu Biao did not express his position at the time, which meant that Liu Biao himself had not made a final decision. As a result, Liu Qi felt better on his own. If he expressed his intention to go to another town, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving up on himself? So for those who originally supported Liu Qi, this is no less than a blow. Who else will think Liu Qi can inherit the great cause in the future?

So on the one hand, Brother Zhu defeated Liu Qi's original support point, and on the other hand, he left a backdoor that could be used to attack Liu Cong. In just a few words, he laid the foundation for Liu Bei to take over Jingzhou in advance, and at the same time, he also said that he was I only said it under Liu Qi's coercion. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said it. She looks so glamorous on the outside and inside...

No wonder Liu Da'er shed tears when Liu Qi died. Indeed, such an easy and kind nephew is a once-in-a-hundred-year encounter. He can no longer be deceived after he dies, and Jingzhou's reputation can no longer be used. What a pity!

Thinking of this, Fei Qian looked at Liu Qi with an even more kind look, "The climate of the northwest is very different from that of Jingxiang. If Mr. Liu is not used to anything, just say so. Don't be polite!"

"Ah? Ah..." Liu Qi was confused and could only nod his thanks, "Thank you, General..."

"You don't have to be so polite!" Fei Qian said with a smile, "Speaking of which, you and I are still somewhat related, and we treat this place as our own home!" Fei Qian's words were not entirely polite. After all, if you start from the Cai family, From a personal perspective, classmates Lao Liu and Lao Huang are both married to daughters of the Cai family...

After comforting Liu Qi, Fei Qian turned to look at Wang Can and asked with a smile: "I don't know what strategy Zhongxuan proposed to Liu Jingzhou? Liu Jingzhou didn't adopt it?"

"This..." Wang Can was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a while. Just now, in desperation, he said that he left Jingxiang because he was not accepted and reused. Although it was indeed the truth, but now that he thought about it, Wang Can realized that there was something wrong with such words.

Because they are not reused and do not adopt suggestions, they have to change jobs. Although this kind of behavior is more common in later generations, in the Han Dynasty, loyalty and filial piety are still emphasized. Oh, throw away your sleeves and leave if you fail to give suggestions. Who would dare to do this in the future? person? However, you can't tell lies. After all, Liu Qi is sitting here now. Even if Liu Qi is not there, can't Fei Qian send someone to Jingxiang to ask?

In desperation, Wang Can could only say: "Someone advised Liu Jingzhou to welcome the emperor..."

"Oh..." Fei Qian nodded.

How could Liu Biao welcome the emperor?

Unless Liu Biao is crazy.

Liu Biao himself is a clan member of the Han family, which means that if Liu Xie's Han family is really finished, Liu Biao will be eligible to inherit the throne of the Han family. So for people like Liu Biao, it is better to welcome the emperor. Or is it better not to welcome the emperor?

This can be seen from the pitiful supplies sent by Liu Biao when Liu Xie arrived in Luoyang. After all, Luoyang is actually not far from Jingxiang, and Jingxiang is not considered poor, but Liu Biao is just meaning it, and it is not as much as a prefect's sponsorship.

"The emperor is in Xu County and is held hostage by Cao Cao!" Whether for public or private reasons, Wang Can needs to maintain his image of worrying about the country and the emperor, and then running around in search of rescuing the emperor, so he continued, " The emperor is in dire straits and has nothing to rely on, so please ask the hussars to fight quickly and save the emperor from the fire and water!"

Of course, Fei Qian couldn't say that he was unwilling to welcome the emperor, but Fei Qian had already thought of a countermeasure and immediately said: "Before I heard what Zhongxuan said, I thought that the emperor was well in Xu County... I never thought about it, alas..."

Pang Tong understood and said with a slight surprise: "What Zhongxuan said... seems a bit... Aha, it's not that I have any doubts, but I heard... that the emperor married the Cao family's daughter and made her his queen... This... seems to be slightly different from what Zhongxuan said?"

Wang Can was speechless. Liu Xie married Cao Cao’s daughter? Since Pang Tong said this, it can't be false. After all, this kind of thing is very relevant and can be found out as soon as possible. But when did this happen? Didn't Cao Cao kill Dong Guiren? Then Liu Xie and Cao Cao reconciled again? Why is this so fat? !

"It must have been coerced by thief Cao!" At this point, Wang Can naturally refused to let go, "I don't know what means thief Cao used!"

Okay, I guess you would say that...

Fei Qian nodded, shook his head, and said: "If the emperor is held hostage by thieves, I naturally cannot sit idly by and ignore it... But if Cao Sikong is not at fault and I rush to send troops, it will be harmful to the country... It is really a dilemma. ah!"

Pang Tongyi said aside: "General Qi, a few days ago, the Qiao family in Sichuan requested to erect a statue of Emperor Guangwu... If you don't use this as an excuse, please ask Zhongxuan and Qiao family to go to Xu County together and report tomorrow. Please erect a statue of the god, so that your majesty's safety can be detected secretly... If your majesty is interested, he will issue an edict from now on. Only in this way can he have the name of being a master..."

"In this way, Shi Yuan's method can be regarded as a safe strategy..." Fei Qian turned to look at Wang Can and said, "Zhong Xuan is worried about the country. Is he willing to take on this important task?"

Fei Qian's meaning is very clear. You, Wang Can, said that His Majesty is in dire straits and must be in great pain. However, there is also news that His Majesty is now married to the Cao family. They are in harmony and may be very happy. So which one is true and which one is false? Now there happens to be a reason. You might as well take this reason to go to Xu County. If the emperor is really unhappy, then Fei Qian will have a reputation if he can get his majesty's order and send troops...

Wang Can thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Can Dang will live up to the general's trust!" On the one hand, Fei Qian's words made sense, but on the other hand, having reached this point, he couldn't help but agree.

"Good!" Fei Qian stood up, stretched out his hand to invite you, and said with a smile, "Today's banquet is to welcome the two of you, and to wish Zhongxuan a safe journey!"

The method is actually very simple. It is a trick that has been tried and tested by later generations. It is obvious that the two organizations can determine things through direct communication. The parties must be sent to another organization to get certification documents and then prove that "your father is your father." "Mom is your mother, you still have to prove that you are your parents' child"...

The so-called Liu Xie's edict that Wang Can was asked to get is similar to this kind of proof.

Fei Qian laughed, invited Liu Qi and Wang Can to move their positions, and then announced the start of the banquet. In the midst of drinking and drinking, although the smile on Fei Qian's face did not change much, he looked at Wang Can with some thoughts...

It’s not that Fei Qian deliberately wanted to make things difficult for Wang Can, or that Fei Qian had no confidence in the Han Emperor, but that Fei Qian had little confidence in Liu Xie and believed that Liu Xie could not shoulder such a responsibility...

The emperor of the Han Dynasty, this position is not only an emperor, but also a symbol and a spirit.

There is a saying that history is created by the people, but no one has ever said what exactly this people is. Are they the original farming people of China or the surrounding nomadic peoples? Are the rulers considered the people? If it doesn't count, can Fei Qian count now?

The royalist party may be the last glory of the Han Dynasty.

What should be the attitude towards the current royalists in the Han Dynasty? In fact, Fei Qian is also a little conflicted, a little touched, and a little headache.

One thing in Wang Can's thoughts is very correct, that is, the imperial power of the Han Dynasty is indeed too weak for the current situation. It has no control over the military and has also lost the right to speak culturally. The government has no strong control over officials, and among the people, there is only a golden brand that has been cultivated for hundreds of years.

And such a gold-lettered signboard, such a statue of a great Han god, eventually fell, which represents the destruction of the myth of the "Emperor" and also gives rise to many problems...

Chinese civilization is not those scriptures or simple books.

It should be a fire that is passed down from generation to generation, a subtle self-esteem and self-confidence, and brilliant art and literature...

It should be the blood and spirit of joining the army, and the longing to return to the homeland after being trapped in a foreign country for more than ten years, or even decades...

It should also be a powerful voice that can shout out that those who offend the strong will be punished no matter how far away they are. It should also be the quality of a nation that would rather die than surrender and fight hard...

But why did the descendants of such a civilization "keep their hair but not their heads" in later dynasties? There will be "prefer to be with foreigners rather than domestic slaves", why will there be "measure China's material resources and the happiness of the country"?

The key point is, why are there still a large number of original Chinese people who still obey such a ruler, and even risk their lives to become "framers"? The key is that in the post-enlightenment era where information about later generations is highly disseminated, there are still people who think that the braided dynasty is very good, and they lament that they were born at the wrong time.

Fei Qian didn't understand it before, but now he understands it a little bit, but he can't say he understands it completely.

Cao Cao may have understood a little bit in the end, so although Cao Cao wanted to be the emperor, he held back in the end and did not take action. However, his son Cao Pi saw that his father had never done it, so he felt that if he did it, wouldn't he? Does that mean he's more powerful than his father? So before China was unified, Liu Xie couldn't wait to abdicate.

So this time, Fei Qian sent Wang Can to Xu County, not entirely to deal with it, not entirely to deceive him, but because he wanted to take this opportunity to see how many people like Wang Can are there among the current big men. people. And how should such people be guided in the next step of the plan...
