Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 350 The butt decides the head
Two days later, Wang Zheng summoned relatives to pay attention to civil and military affairs, and brainstormed on this matter.

Cao Cao of Yanzhou now welcomes the emperor to Xuchang, and even establishes himself as a general. Will he take any action?

And how to deal with the outflow of resources such as aristocratic families and literati.

The former is fine, after all, it takes time to turn the false name brought about by "taking the emperor to make the princes" into strength. No matter how loud Liu Xie's signboard is, it is impossible to change people, soldiers, food, etc. out of thin air in a short period of time. Otherwise, why should he become someone else's puppet, and just climb up and clean up the mountains and rivers by himself.

Don't say that Cao Cao and the Yanzhou army need to recuperate now, and they may not dare to invade Xuzhou, but if they really come, it is nothing more than soldiers coming to block them, and water to cover them.

The latter is trickier.

"It's not easy." Among the climbers yesterday, only Mi Heng was a scholar in the true sense. He had no strength to restrain a chicken, and the impact of the rugged mountain road was the most obvious. At this time, he was sitting on the side of him on the collapse. While talking, he was still rubbing his legs: "Neither turn a blind eye, nor ignore it."

"There is a common saying: 'Catching chicks by covering your eyes' is self-deception. Small things like chicks cannot be deceived to achieve success, let alone these people of insight?"

After he returned home yesterday, he had a sleepless night, thinking about this matter all the time, but he didn't have any good countermeasures for a while.

The great Han ruled the world with loyalty and filial piety. Those who offer the emperor are also the father of the emperor. He is born with literati and gentry, and even the absolute orthodoxy in the hearts of the common people. This is the accumulation of the old Liu family for hundreds of years. The Han people are the most staunch, and they are often called "scholars can be killed, but not humiliated", and the hearts of the people cannot be subdued by force alone.

Fortunately, there is still a crown of "Xuzhou Governor" hanging on Wang Zhengqi's pier. If he still bears the previous title of "Yellow Turban Bandits", the situation will be even more serious.

After pondering for a while, You Heng said: "If you want to win the heart of a scholar, you have to work hard on the two characters of fame and fortune. Everyone in the world invites fame and profit. Those who don't like profit must also have a good name; but those who love profit do not. It must have a good name, and the word '利' is easy to say, but this 'name' is a bit troublesome."

Is not this nonsensical?

Wang Zheng laughed at Yan Yan on the surface, but secretly complained in his heart, Lao Tzu's own "famous" is the most lacking, how can I give it back to others?
However, he also knew that Mi Heng was arrogant, so naturally he couldn't bear the slightest bit of grievance, his complexion was not leaking, he just nodded, and then looked sideways at the others: "What do you think?"

Among the few people who didn't speak, Wu Sheng Wangzheng, who was closest to the left, passed by directly. He didn't expect this idiot to have any tricks, so he turned to the opposite of him, and it was Chen Yu who was sitting.

"What Mr. You said is very true." Chen Yu said this first, and then said: "I think that if we want to deal with this matter, the key is to distinguish the current situation."

"How do you say that?" Wang Zheng asked.

Since Yuan Shu forced him to return to Xiapi, and his younger brother was trapped in Yangzhou because of his troubles, even within the family, Chen Yu's prestige has also been greatly affected. I thought that the rest of my life would be nothing more than living in Linquan, but now he is in power again Even though the official position of Junmou is insignificant compared to Chen Yu's former Yilang and Yangzhou governor, Chen Yu still seems to be a different person, with a rosy face, full of energy, and a three-pointed tone of voice, even though he has buried his head for several days. The copybooks did not appear to be haggard, exhausted, as if they had been spattered with chicken blood.

"Inspector." Chen Yu cupped his hands and said, "The number of days has changed, and the artifacts are easier to buy. It's a natural reason for them to belong to virtuous people."

"Since Huan and Ling, the Huang rebels have advocated chaos, and they have fallen to the age of Chuping and Xingping. First, Dong Zhuo rebelled, and then Li and Si continued to abuse. , In today's world, there are already a lot of heroes, who can hunt and compete, and people with insight are all insightful, who knows that the great man is already dead in name only, and the country will be exhausted!"

"However, there are only a small number of people with insight. For those ignorant and ignorant, the governor should treat them like parents, tell them with reason, and persuade them with morality. Make them wake up and understand the current situation."

Uh. Wang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then he nodded reluctantly after a while: "What Chen Gong said is very reasonable."

It's my fault, he thought, for expecting a good-for-nothing who was kicked out by the Skeleton King!

Yu Jin on the side didn't think so, and said directly: "What Chen Gong said is really a scholar's talk! If you can persuade others to join the general with words and reason, then with your sharp mouth, you can win half of the country for the general! Do you still have to wait until today?"

These words refuted Chen Yu and did not say anything, but also satirized Mi Heng secretly by the way, avenged the previous revenge, and accepted it when he saw it, and bowed his hands to Wang Zheng: "After the last general returned home yesterday , and pondered hard, but came up with an idea."

Oh?Wang Zheng's spirit lifted: "Wen Ze, come quickly."

He also disagrees with Chen Yu's words, and the first sentence is not a big problem. After all, in the feudal era of the Celestial Dynasty, the change of dynasties is a natural law and a normal phenomenon.

But the rest is all wrong.

First of all, the Han Dynasty is not comparable to ordinary feudal dynasties.

Judging from the history that Wang Zheng knows, the extent of its popularity is far beyond what Chen Yu said.

It can be seen from the fact that Cao Cao was a Hanchen until his death.

How much of this was due to moral reasons or lack of timing is anyone's guess.

As for the general trend of the world at present, although the Han court is showing signs of decline, it is far from the so-called "existing in name only".

Moreover, Cao Cao was able to enjoy the dividends for many years in history, so it can be seen that there is only one "famous existence", and the influence brought by orthodoxy cannot be underestimated.

So the following words, it’s okay to talk about it during internal discussions, it’s right to strengthen everyone’s confidence in rebellion.

But if it is publicized to the public, not only is the persuasive power really reluctant, but it is also easy to be accused of lying and confusing the public again, and being accused of being innocent.

"The fame and fortune that Mr. You said just now is quite reasonable." Yu Jin said: "At the end of the day, I will think of the Tianji Camp that the general established in Kaiyang that day, maybe we can use this weapon to win fame."

Tianji Camp?
Rely on those comedians in teahouses, brothels, and wine shops?
Wang Zheng looked sideways and asked, "How to fight for it? Where do you start?"

"General, Cao Cao gained fame and power because the emperor is in Xuchang." Yu Jin said in a deep voice, "what if the emperor is not here?"

When Wang Zheng heard this, his sword eyebrows slightly raised, thoughtfully.

"Yu Jin, what do you mean we go to snatch the emperor?" Wu Sheng interrupted and said, "It's also a way, but it's not easy. "

"No and no." Yu Jin shook his head again and again, and when he was about to speak, Xu Fang who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "Brother Wen Ze said, could it be that he was making a fuss about his status as the Son of Heaven?"

One word awakened the dreamer, and when Yu Jin nodded, Wang Zheng also suddenly realized.

Is there a problem with Liu Xie's status as the Son of Heaven?
Of course!
The biggest problem is that he, the son of heaven, belongs to Dong Zhuoli. You must know that the heir appointed by Emperor Han Ling is the young emperor Liu Bian, not Liu Xie.

That's a good idea!
"Wen Zezhen is a scholar of the state." Wang Zheng's thoughts changed sharply, and his face immediately cheered up: "In a word, this will make me realize!"

In fact, the attitudes of the princes of the Han Dynasty to the status of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty changed again and again with the change of political positions.

The representative figure among them is Yuan Shao.

When Dong Zhuo changed Liu Xie as emperor in order to control the real power of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao expressed his firm opposition at that time, and warned Dong Zhuo in a strong and slightly threatening tone:
"If the public violates etiquette and arbitrariness, and abolishes the son-in-law and establishes the concubine, I am afraid that the public will not be safe."

Later, after Dong Zhuo hijacked Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and moved westward to Chang'an, Yuan Shao still refused to recognize the legitimacy of Liu Xie's throne, and even intended to support his clan Liu Yu as emperor.

Included in the letters with Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao also said, "There is a young prince in the West today, who has no bloodlines, how can you reply?".

This is very embarrassing.

This is to directly say that Liu Xie is not the son of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and there is even a question of whether he is the emperor's blood.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty knew that if he knew that his subjects would force him to wear a hat for his own benefit, he would not know how he would feel.

Two years later, when Dong Zhuo, the power minister, died, and Li Jue drove away Lv Bu, entered Chang'an, and held Emperor Xian hostage, Yuan Shao's attitude changed again.

He first accepted Zhao Qi's persuasion, and promised to welcome Emperor Xian in the near future.

That is to say, when Li Jue took control of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Qi conveyed the imperial edict of Chang'an to Yuan Shao, and received a clear reply. At this time, the political conflict between Yuan Shu and the Kanto had been reconciled, and his attitude changed drastically. Xiandi's status as the Son of Heaven.

Of course, later Yuan Shao followed the advice of his counselors, and decided not to welcome Emperor Xian for the time being. At that time, the two thieves, Li and Guo, were in conflict, which led to chaos in Chang'an, and Emperor Xian had to leave early to return to Luoyang. Cao Cao took the opportunity , to please the Son of Heaven.

At this time, Cao Aman was still Yuan Shao's ally and follower.

At least, Yuan Shao thought so and believed so.

Therefore, his attitude changed drastically again. In the first year of Jian'an in the original history, Yuan Benchu ​​took the initiative to write a letter to the emperor, expressing his loyalty in words.

So to put it bluntly, Cao Cao recognized Emperor Xian as the only legal heir of the Han Dynasty, only because of his own interests and strategic planning.There are indeed loopholes in the rationale for Emperor Xian's status as the son of heaven due to Dong Zhuo's monopoly, at least the Yuan family has already summed it up, Wang Zheng doesn't need to search hard, just copy it.

If you want to deny it, you can deny it!
But at present, not only can he not admit Emperor Xian's status as the Son of Heaven, but he even wants to question, question, and question again like Yuan Shao before him!

As for what Yu Jin said about using the Tianji Camp to fight for fame, Wang Zheng immediately figured it out.

It is nothing more than making a big fuss in speech, or dictation or writing, to highlight the doubts about the identity of Han Xiandi and the loopholes in legal principles!Shout out!
It's just that this may make the common people feel that "presenting the emperor as a false emperor", but it may not work for the literati here, right?

After expressing his concerns, Yu Jin also frowned and began to meditate, while at this time Mi Heng raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "This is easy."

He has always been unwilling to be left behind. He had already thought of this point and found a countermeasure when the few people were talking just now.

"My lord, the scholars of the gentry may not believe what we say, but what if it comes from the mouth of the Yuan family in Runan?"

Of course it's different!

Wang Zheng understood Mi Heng's meaning, thought for a while and asked again: "Just to be able to make some fuss about the status of the emperor, no matter whether the Yuan family speaks out or we spread rumors, it will take time to brew, and I am afraid that there will be no results in a short period of time. If the situation of the gentry Xigu continues like this, it will easily get worse, but what should we do?"

"If you want to reverse the disadvantage in a hurry." You Heng nodded to Chen Yu who was opposite, and said with a smile: "Only San Gong can do this!"

Xu Fang was the first to react, and immediately praised: "Exactly!"

"Under the general's rule, Pengcheng is the only one that has not seen this matter at present. It is because Mr. Yinbu is highly respected and calm, so few scholars of the gentry go west because of the false name of the emperor."

Now everyone understood that what Mi Heng meant was to let Langya Yan, Wang, and Xiapi Chen, several top Xuzhou local families, take the lead in ascending the ranks.to reverse the situation.

Chen Yu showed hesitation on his face, being an official in Wang Zheng's place is nothing, but if the situation is like this, it means that the whole family will completely stand by Wang Zheng's side, but it is completely different.

Especially so.
It's tantamount to blatantly contradicting Cao Cao, who is in the hands of today's emperor.

"Inspector." After hesitating for a long time, Chen Yu looked at Wang Zheng and said: "This old man is old and has little virtue. I'm afraid it will be useless, but it will be self-defeating."

Why are the wordings so consistent when making excuses, nothing new?
Wang Zheng acted as if he didn't hear it, and he didn't bother to look at Chen Yu, so he directly made a decision: "This plan is good!"

"Ok, deal!"

"General," Xu Fang cupped his hands again and said, "Just now, the major and Mr. You's strategies are one for the root cause and one for the symptoms. It can be said to be comprehensive and exhaustive. The general admires it very much. There is also a gain, but I also thought of a countermeasure."

He has always been impeccable in his words and deeds, which even Wang Zheng secretly admired, and couldn't help laughing: "Fang, let's just say it."

"Here." Xu Fang said: "The general thinks why there is nothing wrong with Pengcheng, but there are so many turbulences in Langya and Xiapi. In fact, it is not only because of Zhang Guoxiang alone, but also because of the people's hardship."

Seeing the astonishment on Wang Zheng's face, Xu Fang continued to explain: "In today's troubled times and conflicts, if it is not difficult, who would want to leave their homeland and go far away?"

"The general sympathizes with the people and treats the family with courtesy, but he ignores the nobles and scholars from small families. In fact, years of wars and disasters have affected the situation, and the situation is quite difficult."

"Since the last general joined the army, I have often heard that wherever the rebel army passed by, it was like locusts passing by without leaving any grass. In the past, there were many people who destroyed the family of a thousand-square-meter house, and countless people were displaced. Therefore, the gentry regarded me as a thief and as a traitor. Cole, to a large extent depends on this."

Wang Zheng had done this in Qingzhou, but since he entered Xuzhou, wherever he went, he dare not say that Qiu did not commit any crimes, at least he did not disturb the people. What Xu Fang said was obviously brought by his predecessors, such as the Xuzhou Yellow Turban. Negative impact.

Of course, for the gentry class in Xuzhou, Wang Zheng actually only restrained his fangs temporarily.

Human beings are very sensitive animals, such as the small and medium-sized gentry, who are not strong but can survive for a long time, are more accustomed to adapting to the wind, and can often smell some potential dangers in advance.

What Xu Fang meant now was to suggest that Wang Zheng should also treat this class with "benevolence, righteousness and kindness."

However, Wang Zheng knew that the current chaos of the Han Dynasty, and even the last years of any feudal dynasty, were essentially due to class conflicts brought about by serious land annexation.

The so-called long-term unity of the world means that the land will be merged until most people can no longer survive. The only way to restore the balance between the land and the population is through war. At the same time, let the ruling class reshuffle the cards, so that the long-term unity and peace can be achieved. Two 300 years.

The gentry is the landlord, and the aristocratic family is the big landlord.

If you treat them well, you can't treat the common people, the poor,
How to distribute the land to the latter without seizing the land of the former?
This is a fundamental contradiction that is difficult to resolve until the technological productivity develops to a certain stage!
In Xuzhou and even in the whole world, there will always be so much land. Now the people under Wang Zheng’s rule live a good life, largely because of his status as a yellow scarf. As a result, every time a land is acquired, nobles must flee, and naturally there will be unowned land. It can be distributed to the refugees who came from Qingzhou, the soldiers under his command, and so on.

Once the landlords are treated well, the current gentry may not flee, and those who fled earlier may also come back, so what should they do if they want the original land?
If you look at one, you will lose the other, either you die or I live, and Wang Zheng must choose one of the two in the end.

The problem is, from the beginning, he has made a choice.

The land is the biggest matter. In contrast, the fate of the gentry and the literati is irrelevant.

He hesitated for a while and said, "This matter is of great importance, so let's put it aside for now."

Xu Fang thought he had made a good suggestion, but he didn't expect Wang Zheng to respond like this, so he couldn't help but be surprised.

At this time, Wang Zheng looked at Xu Fang, who was looking dazed in the hall, and felt a little disappointed.

For a long time, compared with Wu Sheng, the two leading roles in their own family have many shortcomings, but Xu Fang is almost perfect and beyond reproach. Although Wang Zheng is closer to Wu Sheng emotionally, he has already leaned more towards Xu Fang in terms of reliance.

But today, Wang Zheng suddenly discovered that Xu Fang had begun to consider the interests of the gentry, and felt
Make it clear, our base is the Heavenly Army, refugees.

And the gentry is almost our natural hostile class.

Wang Zheng hoped that what Xu Fang said today was just a case-by-case discussion, and it was because of the limitations of the times that he did not think of a more far-reaching level.

instead of.
Its position has shifted and changed unconsciously.
