Han Dao world

If the imperial edict to Yuan Shao admits the reality, it is tantamount to allowing this kind of behavior, and the imperial court will be like Zhou Tianzi admitting that the three families are divided into Jin Dynasty, and it will be impossible to restore the dignity of the imperial court, and no one will take the imperial edict seriously.

If you don't admit the reality, it will be tantamount to tearing faces with Yuan Shao, and there is no possibility of relaxation.

It is almost impossible for Yuan Shao to accept the reality, go to Jizhou Mu, and wait for the court's worship.

Zhao Wen sighed repeatedly, wishing he could pull Shi Sun Rui over and scold him.

But he also knew that Shi Sunrui was under more pressure than him.

The emperor asked him to act as Taiwei, which was not only to fulfill the previous promise, but also to test him.

If Shi Sun Rui could not complete the task of quelling Wei's rebellion, the fake Taiwei would not be able to be real, and there would be no talk of regaining military power.

So Shi Sunrui couldn't retreat, and neither could he, so he had to bite the bullet.

After thinking about it, Zhao Wen wrote a letter, asking the emperor to issue an edict, reprimanding Yuan Shao for using Guo's plans.

He was lucky enough to ride a general on a chariot and lead Jizhou Mu to call Yuan Shao to test the meaning of the emperor.

After reading Zhao Wen's letter, Liu Xie gently placed it on the case and raised his eyelids.

"Situ, does Yuan Shao still have the court in mind?"

Zhao Wen was sweating like rain. "Your Majesty... why did you say that?"

Liu Xie ignored him, and then asked another question. "In these years, the imperial court has struggled to survive, but has Yuan Shao ever had a little help?"

Zhao Wen didn't dare to speak any more, just kowtowed repeatedly.

Although the son of heaven's voice was not loud, his tone was very strong, and he didn't mean to make peace with Yuan Shao at all.

"Situ, Yuan Shao obeyed the eunuch's reconciliation, not because he had the imperial court in mind. What he wants to do is not Duke Huan of Qi." Liu Xie gently pushed Zhao Wen's letter back. "I advise Situ not to take chances. If you fail to seek skin from a tiger, you will be hurt by a tiger instead. The court only has a little face left, so don't give it to others easily. I have worked hard with all the lords, not to make him Yuan Shao's wedding dress."

Zhao Wen salutes again. "Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to punish you."

"A wise man has a lot of worries, and there is bound to be a mistake." Liu Xie said lightly: "Just be more cautious in the future."

After speaking, Liu Xie turned his head and said to Cai Yan who was at the side: "Today's affairs will not be included in the daily notes for the time being."

Cai Yan responded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Wenru quickly took the letter on the case, stuffed it into his sleeve, bowed again, and withdrew.

After leaving the tent, a gust of wind blew, Zhao Wen felt chills all over his body, and shivered involuntarily.

Inside the tent, Cai Yan finished writing the last word and put away the wooden slips.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to break with Yuan Shao?"

Liu Xie snorted: "He wants to occupy Jizhou in a legitimate way without taking anything out. How can such a good thing come about? Anyway, the imperial edict is not waste paper. If you want it, you have to pay a little price."

Cai Yan couldn't help reminding: "A gentleman should be cautious about his independence, and His Majesty should be even more cautious in his words. If this is recorded in the daily notes, it is definitely not suitable for a sage."

Liu Xie sighed. "I'm afraid I won't be able to be a holy king."

"Why did His Majesty say that?"

"The inner sage and the outer king are easier said than done. You are familiar with history books, so you know who can be worthy of this phrase throughout the ages?" Liu Xie shook his head. "I don't dare to aim too high, I just hope that I can do the things in front of me well, and be worthy of this life, and I will be satisfied."

Cai Yan thought for a while. "Could it be that in His Majesty's mind, Yao is not considered an inner sage and an outer king?"

"Dear and virtuous, he didn't even teach his son well, he wasn't even a qualified father, and he talked about inner sages and outer kings. And according to the theory of the relationship between heaven and man, in the end of Yao's world, there were floods year after year, and the world was in soup. It can be seen that God is not satisfied with him."

Cai Yan's face froze, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "What about Shun?"

"When Shun was in power, there were also floods year after year, and his son Shang Jun was also unworthy."

"This..." Cai Yan was speechless.

The emperor was obviously talking nonsense, but she couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Seeing Xueba Cai Yan being speechless, Liu Xie couldn't help laughing out loud, and the depression that Zhao Wen had made just now finally dissipated.

Cai Yan was very helpless. "Your Majesty, smooth talk is by no means a virtue of the Son of Heaven."

"Ling Shi is right, clever words are definitely not a virtue." Liu Xie said, before Cai Yan was relieved, he added another sentence. "But this is not my eloquent rhetoric, but it is recorded in the history books, and I expressed my feelings. You can't justify yourself, just say that I am eloquent, this is a crime you want to add."

Cai Yan was tongue-tied and embarrassed.

-

Zhao Wen was ill, with persistent high fever and weakness.

When Liu Xie heard the news, he went to visit Zhao Wen in person despite everyone's dissuasion.

Zhao Wen struggled to get up and pleaded guilty to Liu Xie.

Liu Xie tried Zhao Wen's forehead with the back of his hand, and it was indeed hot, not pretending to be sick.

"Did Situ suffer from the cold physically or mentally?" Liu Xie looked at Zhao Wen with a smile. "A man should be flying male, but female should be safe. Situ's words are still in my ears, which is inspiring. Now it's time for male flying, why is Situ falling ill instead?"

Zhao Wen smiled wryly. "Your Majesty, I'm already in my sixtieth year. How dare I mention the arrogant words I made when I was young. I'm also fortunate to be able to see the chance of the great man's rejuvenation at this time and here. However, time is not forgiving, and I am afraid that there will be no days left." Many. I am ill at this time, and I can't tell if it will come back again. I have a few words from the bottom of my heart, and I want to share them with Your Majesty."

Liu Xie waved Zhao Wen's hand. "Situ Yan is serious. You just caught a cold, and you will be fine after a few days of rest. Why is this so?"

Zhao Wen held Liu Xie in his backhand, and said earnestly: "Fifty is not a premature age. I live nine out of fifty, and I am satisfied. If your majesty can listen to what I say, I will die without regret."

Liu Xie sighed. "Situ must not be like this, I heard it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Wen took a few breaths. "Your Majesty is determined to forge ahead and aim at Zhongxing. This is the great fortune of the great man. However, the great man has accumulated many evils. Even if there is a fairy medicine, it is difficult to rise in one day. Dong Zi said: Correcting the way does not seek its own benefits, and cultivating its principles does not Urge for success. Your Majesty should use both civil and martial arts, with a certain degree of relaxation, and after 30 years of merit, peace will come."

Liu Xie stared at Zhao Wen for a long time, pondering for a long time.

"Although I can't fully comprehend Situ's words, I am willing to give it a try. How about this, the imperial edict will not work for the time being, and Situ will write a letter to Yuan Shao. If he can sincerely correct his mistakes and be loyal to the imperial court, I will not blame the past, and worship him as the chariot general, Jizhou Mu. If he is willing, he can enter the court and take charge of the government, and I will treat him as a general."

Surprised and delighted, Zhao Wen sat up and clasped Liu Xie tightly with both hands. "Your Majesty, are you serious?"

"My word will be practiced. Yuan Shao is willing to come, and I will treat him with courtesy. Yuan Shaoruo is obsessed with his obsession, and he is lucky..." Liu Xie withdrew his hand, stood up, looked down at Zhao Wen, and said indifferently: If you have an axe, you must use it to show the public, don't say that you are unpredictable."

Chapter 178 Xun You on Yuan

Liu Xie turned around and went out.

Zhao Wen sat on the couch, covered in cold sweat, and didn't move for a long time.

He knew very well that the emperor was very angry.

The phrase "Don't say that words are unpredictable" is not only for Yuan Shao, but also for him.

The emperor gave him face and was willing to give Yuan Shao another chance.As long as Yuan Shao is willing to bow his head and become a minister, not only can the wealth and honor in front of him be preserved, but he can also go a step further and become an extremely human minister.

This concession was big enough to be worthy of his advice, and almost unbearable for him.

Zhao Wen sighed again and again, the more he thought about it, the more ashamed he felt.

After a while, Sikong and Zhang Xi pushed the tent and entered. "Zirou, what can I do?"

Zhao Wen glanced at Zhang Xi and suddenly felt a blush.

As the son of heaven and the third prince, but only thinking about fighting for Yuan Shao's interests, it is a shame for the minister.

What made him feel even more ashamed was that he was even worse than Zhang Xi, and even threatened him with death, which was simply despicable.

Zhao Wen endured his nausea and recounted the conversation with the emperor just now.

Zhang Xi frowned slightly, and smacked his lips. "Zi Rou, whose idea do you think this is? Jia Xu or Xun You?"

"Why is it not the emperor's own decision?" Zhao Wen said angrily, "Did he already know that I would die?"

"Uh..." Zhang Xi looked embarrassed, and quickly patted Zhao Wen's hand to express his apology. "Zirou's strategy is really clever, who could have predicted it. I just think the emperor is clever, knowing that Yuan Shao can't come..."

"Wait." Zhao Wen suddenly sat up and grabbed Zhang Xi's shoulder. "Is it impossible for Yuan Shao to come?"

Zhang Xi looked at Zhao Wen in surprise. "Zirou, you don't think Yuan Shao will come, do you? What is he thinking, don't you know?"

Zhao Wen stared at Zhang Xi, his lips moved, he hesitated to speak several times.

"Are you sure he won't come?" Zhao Wen felt powerless.

Zhang Xi hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously. "Nine out of ten."

Zhao Wen let out a sigh of relief. "It's up to people to plan things, but it's up to God to make things happen. I've tried my best."

-

Liu Xie returned to the imperial tent and sat in front of the case, still undecided.

Zhao Wen's performance made him very angry, and at the same time let him see Yuan Shao's influence.

Zhao Wen is from Yizhou and has no direct relationship with the Yuan family.He can work so hard for Yuan Shao, others can imagine.

For example, Sikong Zhang Xi.

Zhang Xi is from Runan and has a close relationship with the Yuan family.

"Your Majesty." Cai Yan handed over the record he had just written.

Liu Xie read it again, and his mood gradually calmed down. "Ling Shi, isn't my decision somewhat Meng Lang?"

Cai Yan lowered his head. "I don't know much about government affairs, so I dare not speak falsely. If Your Majesty has any doubts, why not consult his close ministers, such as Xun Shizhong. He is astute, observant, and will definitely be able to solve your Majesty's doubts."

Liu Xie laughed twice. "Why is Ling Shi so humble today?"

Cai Yan looked embarrassed, and said awkwardly: "I follow His Majesty around, the more I see, the more I feel shallow. This matter of the court is far from what is recorded in the historical records, and I cannot guess."

Liu Xie raised his eyebrows lightly. "Ling Shi's words are very insightful, and the future is limitless." He thought for a while, and then said: "Is this the teaching of your father?"

Cai Yan was in a daze for a while, and was silent for a while. "As Your Majesty said, my late father did say similar words when he was around. Now that I think about it, I feel quite introspective. It's just that I was young and energetic at the time and didn't think about it. Now that I'm in court, I gradually understand what he meant. "

Liu Xie secretly sighed.

The children of this aristocratic family are the children of the aristocratic family. They have been influenced by their ears and eyes since they were young. They have a high starting point and enter the state much faster than the children of the poor family.

Liu Xie chatted with Cai Yan for a few words, and ordered someone to invite Xun You.

In a moment of anger, I agreed to Zhao Wen, but now that I think about it, I regret it.

In case Yuan Shao really came, what should we do?

With Yuan Shao's influence, if he really wants to enter the court and become a general, the court's Chinese military will not only follow his lead, the emperor himself will really become a puppet.

Maybe he really became the emperor who sacrificed his throne.

Not long after, Xun You came, as calm as ever, like an ancient well without waves.

After reading the record that Cai Yan had just completed, Xun You sat down with hands folded. "Your Majesty is worried about Yuan Shao's call?"

"Will he come?"

"No." Xun You said, "Especially when Guo Tu was humiliated."

Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about Yuan Shao. It doesn't make any difference whether you come or not."

"Why?"

"Yuan Shao is expected from a high school, he likes to be graceful, but he is sensitive and conceited, and strives to be the first everywhere. When he is in the upper hand, he may be able to retreat a little to show his generosity. When he is in a disadvantage, he must fight for the slightest to show his indomitableness. If He defeated Gongsun Zan and took all of Youji, and he might enter the court to assist the government in the name of Duke of Zhou. Now that he is entangled with Gongsun Zan, he will lose face, how could he come."

Liu Xie thought it over and felt that what Xun You said was reasonable.

How could Yuan Shao be willing to be inferior to others, and it is absolutely impossible to admit his mistakes.

Right now he has defeated Li Jue, but Yuan Shao is exhausted by Gongsun Zan, so he has no face to enter the court to assist the government.

-

Dayangjin.

General Jianyi and Hanoi prefect Zhang Yang stood on the bank with a few personal guards, watching from a distance the soldiers of the rear general Yang Ding's troops landed one after another and lined up one after another, feeling uneasy.

After learning that the emperor defeated Li Jue, he personally led three thousand soldiers, carrying food, and came across the mountains and saw an unexpected scene.

I thought that the bloody battle between the Son of Heaven and Li Jue, even if they didn't lose both sides, would cause the battalion to be filled with wounded soldiers and morale to be low.

But everything in front of them was completely opposite. Not only were there a large number of people, but they were all full of energy and firm in their steps.

The same is true for the Weiwei camp that just passed a day ago.

At a glance, the Weiwei camp has at least [-] cavalry, and many of them have beards and beards.

This is completely different from the Weiwei camp he saw in Luoyang a few years ago.

This made him feel in awe of Sun Rui, the guard who performed Taiwei's work.
