Chapter 1067 An Unexpected Turn
The meeting between the king and his ministers naturally involves some plays, and there are also a large number of articles 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 not big or 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, they still had to obey others obediently?
Military achievements, the world is a bit unrest now, but how can these small military achievements compete with the inheritance of three to four hundred years of aristocratic families?
Governing the country still depends on scriptures and policies. Those warriors who can only ride horses, whips, swords and guns should use them when needed and put them aside when not needed...
Such a concept has always existed, and it is still the mainstream in the court.
During the reign 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 before him and Li Guo after him. 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 the troops...
It seems that the current court of the Han Dynasty has begun to undergo some special changes?
Faced with such changes, what should we do?
?This has become a brand new topic for some people with some brains and ideas...
“Your Majesty!”
??Yang Biao took a few steps forward and stood in front of Liu Xie. He raised his hands and said, his voice was loud and cadenced:
"...I have been fortunate enough to serve as a minister for more than twenty years...I have been favored by the late emperor, and I have been taught the principles of benevolence and righteousness. I am trustworthy and sincere, frugal and simple, and I will always be faithful to you. The sound of virtue is in my ears, and I dare not forget it..."
"...Your Majesty, in the early days of Luoyang, loved gentlemen, was far away from small people, did not value foreign things, and did not do anything useless. He encouraged farmers and mulberry trees, guarded the weather, increased the strength of labor, and promoted the expansion of the land. This is the virtue of heaven, and the world is also determined..."
“…Zi Gong asked about the rule. Confucius once said, if a man is as tired as a rotten rope to control six horses, he should also be guided by the way, so that he will not have to work hard to protect the people. Only if he cherishes him like a son can he always prosper..."
“…Now that there is an epidemic, frost and drought today, the people are displaced, and there are no ten households. 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, but for people''s calls. People do not provoke, and monsters do not act recklessly. Today''s warning sign means that the country is in trouble and ugly. This is a warning from heaven. Also, I hope that your majesty will be concerned about the diligent administration and return the capital to Luoyang immediately, so as to obey the will of God and calm the people''s hearts..."
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 physically exhausted now, 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 full of flowers and shining in all directions. However, Guangwu established his capital in Luo, and Hulu suddenly rose up and plundered On the border, small gains are made for small gains, big gains are made for big gains, officials are killed, bandits are committed, people''s morale is broken, and people flee to escape..."
"...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 late emperor''s clear edict and compile the soldiers. They strictly enforced discipline, raised the injured people, resisted the Qiang and Hu, and defeated them. Everyone, please fix Longyou, Guanzhong is very fortunate, and the world is very fortunate..."
"...An old minister once heard that the art of war has clouds, mountains and forests are covered with rocks, plains are wide and wide, rivers and valleys are in between, reeds, bamboos are withering, grass and trees are green, and there are all kinds of trees. Those who are not familiar with the art of war cannot choose. Soldiers do not choose to practice, and soldiers do not obey the discipline. , lack of precision in daily life, lack of concentration of movement and stillness, inability to catch up with the enemy, failure to take refuge, strike in front and escape later, and the golden drum loses its balance, this is something that cannot be practiced by a good general; if the weapon is not good, it will be used to kill the enemy; if the soldier cannot be used, it will be used to kill the enemy. He will give his generals to the enemy; a general who does not know the soldiers will use his main spear to attack the enemy; a king will not choose his generals, but 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 must also pay attention to everything. , screen them out, don''t let villains get their ambitions, and good ministers will be covered in dust..."
"... Guanzhong Jingzhao is the place where the great Han Dynasty flourished. Since Your Majesty is here because of God''s will, how can there be 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 we Is it necessary to waste money and waste people by moving the capital again? Such an outrageous thing is absolutely unacceptable..."
?Hmm, not bad.
Fei Qian silently gave Zhong Shao a thumbs up.
In fact, both Yang Biao and Zhong Shao were right. This is also a common method used in the court. They use great principles to establish their own arguments, and then use small private goods mixed in them 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, you better not go forward and seek death. Wait, let''s decide the winner...
So the rest of the officials unanimously chose to remain silent.
But it is obvious that Liu Xie does not 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, and no one taught him 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 brought it to Liu Xie to tell Liu Xie to stamp it, 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 was silent for a while, 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. He blinked 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 often hear that God is benevolent and loves others, and he is not a person in the world of great destruction. I want to support you as much as possible and keep him safe. Your Majesty is diligent, knows the benefits, and makes up for the shortcomings with joy. 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 emperor inherits heaven to rectify the four directions, and upholds benevolence and virtue to rule all peoples. …”
"...If it is abolished as a rule, even if 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 control them according to the rules. , listen to the words in 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 soil beneath our feet are all the territory of the Han Dynasty. Is there any difference between the distant and the distant?”
"...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 Han city, and the Han people. Your Majesty does not need to worry about this. As the saying goes, it was established by your Majesty. So, where is Xuande Palace, your Majesty’s resting place, and where is 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. That was it.
?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, it 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.
Amidst the discussion among the officials, 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.
It’s just that Fei Qian’s smile and encouragement seemed to have too great an impact on Liu Xie…
"...Yang Aiqing, what Aiqing Zhong said is reasonable, but...I..." Liu Xie turned his eyes to Fei Qian, and seemed to draw the so-called strong strength from Fei Qian, "...I, I want to go to Pingyang! I want to go. Look at the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty, I want to see the Yinshan Mountains of Liehou!"
“Aha?!” Fei Qian couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.
What is this? If you deliberately arrange flowers, the flowers will not bloom, but if you do not intend to arrange willows, they will create shade? How could this happen? Is there anyone coming? Please take this half-assed kid away first...
Three large paragraphs of classical Chinese in one chapter, the author is exhausted from writing...
Never do this again…
Let’s add some chicken drumsticks to dinner to replenish the brain cells that have suffered heavy losses...
