Han Dao world

Seeing the lamb roasting on the fire, Xun Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, stepped forward, and bowed his hands in salute.

"Therefore General Sima of Zhendong, Chen Yu, pay homage to Your Majesty."

Chapter 200

How should Xun Yu be received so that he can be kept without losing the initiative?

After receiving the information relayed by Tang Ji, Liu Xie has been thinking about this issue.

He can not use Xun Yu, but he must keep Xun Yu.

The significance of Xun Yu lies not only in his talent, but also in his charisma.There is no doubt that Xun Yu is the leader of the new generation of Ruying scholars. Where he is, he can influence the choices of countless people.

Taking a step back, Xun Yu's personal ability is also outstanding.Let him be the brains of the opponent, it is better to keep it for his own use.

But not at his mercy.

What Xun Yu pursued was the ideal of a party member, and he represented the interests of the aristocratic powers. According to his ideal, even if peace could be rebuilt, it would not be a long-term peace.

Therefore, the best choice is to reform Xun Yu's ideas first, and then let Xun Yu implement the new path.

If you can't, then the next best thing is to take Xun Yu for your own use, limit his performance by adjusting his official position, and control his influence within a certain range.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, do not follow Cao Cao's old path.

Killing is the next best option.

Seeing Xun Yu bowing down in front of him, Liu Xie stood up, holding his hands up. "Mr. Xun, it has been more than six years since I left, and Mr. Xun still has the same demeanor."

Xun Yu was startled slightly, and saluted again. "Your Majesty remembers clearly that the minister left the palace in the sixth year of Zhongping, and now it is six years and two months."

"In the past six years, I have been forced by Dong Zhuo and Li Jue. I have lost my body and my heart has no support. Unexpectedly, I can see Mr. Xun's demeanor again today. I am very happy. Now that the phoenix has come, I hope that the next year will be a new one, and everything will be renewed."

Xun Yu's body froze for a moment, and he bowed to worship again. "The minister failed to serve His Majesty in times of crisis, and it is a death penalty, a death penalty."

Liu Xie smiled slightly, and sat down holding Xun Yu's hand.

There are no seats, let alone desks, only a few beds.

Liu Xie has long been used to it, but Xun Yu is awkward and restless.

Not only because Maza was cramped, but also because of the unfinished meaning hidden in the words of the emperor.

In the sixth year of Zhongping, Dong Zhuo was in dictatorship, and he had just been promoted as Xiaolian. Not long after he worshiped the palace order, he took the initiative to ask for a replacement official to remove Kang's father's order.But he didn't take office, he abandoned his official position and returned, and then led his clan to leave Yingchuan, went to Yecheng, and defected to Han Fu.

Therefore, he preserved the clan, but gave up the emperor.

As an ordinary person, there is nothing wrong with seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

But for a gentleman, when it is difficult to escape, he disregards the safety of the court, loses loyalty, and fails to fulfill his responsibility as a minister.

At this moment, facing the Son of Heaven, he could not feel guilty.

The higher the emperor's expectations of him, the more ashamed he felt, feeling that he owed the emperor and the court too much.

Liu Xie personally poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Xun Yu.

Xun Yu was restless, and subconsciously picked it up, only to realize that it was the emperor who handed him the water, and quickly got up to thank him.

Liu Xie waved his hand to signal Xun Yu not to be polite.

"After the chaos, the etiquette is not complete. I don't even have a court dress that fits, so there is no need for Mr. Xun to be more polite." Liu Xie nodded his battle robe and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "It is not the court at this time. The salute is also a military salute."

Xun Yu felt even more ashamed, his face was a little hot, and he didn't dare to look directly at the Son of Heaven, so he responded with a murmur, and sat back on the saddle, holding the hot water, shrinking his body, as if he couldn't stand the night cold.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, it is indeed cold at night.

"Drink some hot water to warm up your body. Eat some freshly roasted mutton later, and you'll be warm." Liu Xie laughed. "Mr. Xun came by coincidence. If I had come a few days earlier, I would have no mutton for you, only wheat rice."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xun Yu's expression became unnatural, and he didn't know whether it was cold or ashamed.

Xun You sat aside, watching the fire silently, not knowing what he was thinking, the flames flickered in his eyes, flickering and flickering.

Liu Xie didn't say anything more, just watched Wang Chang play with the roast lamb quietly.

You don't need a heavy hammer to beat the drum, and with Xun Yu's cleverness, these few words are enough.

A gentleman can be deceived.

For a scholar like Xun Yu who still has ideals in his heart, letting him know that he was wrong is more useful than anything else.

They will go the extra mile for peace of mind.

The strange atmosphere lasted until the mutton was cooked. Liu Xie personally cut off a piece of scorched and tender mutton with a short knife and handed it to Xun Yu.

"Mr. Xun, try the mutton from Anyi."

Xun Yu looked at the small piece of mutton with an embarrassed expression.

The mutton is delicious, but he has no utensils.The emperor cut it with his hands, but he can only pick it up with his hands.

This was an experience he had never had before, and he was at a loss for a while.

After hesitating for a moment, Xun Yu picked up the mutton with his fingertips, thanked him again and again, and ruthlessly put the mutton into his mouth.

The night wind was cold, and the mutton was already a little cold, but fortunately it didn't smell bad.

Xun Yu unexpectedly remembered the barren fields he saw on the way here.

What used to be fertile farmland is now covered with grass.Maybe this sheep grew up eating those grasses, so it doesn't smell bad.

The world is in chaos and the people are in dire straits. Whose fault is it?

Liu Xie cut another piece and handed it to Xun You.

Xun You calmly took the mutton, thanked him, quickly put it in his mouth, and tasted it.

"The general will take it for himself, so I won't be polite to you." Liu Xie said to Zhang Yang, then cut a piece and put it in his mouth.

Although Zhang Yang was somewhat disappointed in not being able to get the food from the Son of Heaven, but facing Xun Yu and Xun You, he really couldn't bear the heart of comparison.He felt very honored to be able to sit with them.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, that minister is being presumptuous." Zhang Yang said with a smile, cut off a large piece of undercooked mutton, and gnawed it, making Xun Yu's eyes straight.

"Xun Jun, how is the situation in Kanto?" Liu Xie pulled back the topic in time, turning a blind eye to Zhang Yang's performance.

He kept Zhang Yang to make Xun Yu familiar with this atmosphere as soon as possible.

I can bear it, can't you bear it?

Xun Yu withdrew his thoughts and talked about the situation in Kanto.

He specifically mentions Cao Cao's reaction to the edict.After Zhongji arrived in Yanzhou, he conveyed the edict of the emperor, Cao Cao intended to serve the king, but he was besieging Yongqiu at that time and could not make a move.Now that Yongqiu has been conquered, Cao Cao is raising food, which will be shipped from now on.

It's just that after the war, Yanzhou was devastated, and Cao Cao had limited food to raise, and the distance was far away, so he couldn't solve the urgent need.

"It's good that he has this kind of heart. Don't worry too much about the food." Liu Xie smiled. "Situ is in charge of Hedong. If he handles it properly, he should be able to solve the food supply. The next thing to consider is to stabilize Hedong, so we can't delay next year's spring plowing."

"Is there still food in Hedong?" Xun Yu was dubious.

"There is food, but it's hard to say whether you can get it." Liu Xie straightened up, supported his knees with the heels of his palms, his grease-stained fingers and short knives hung in the air, and his expression became fierce. "Gongda will talk to you about the specifics later. I will send someone to take you back to the city tomorrow morning. Situ is old and not in good health. I'm afraid he won't be able to bear the burden. You came just in time, so help him share the burden." How about some?"

Xun Yu bowed to accept the order.

"I remember that when you were in the court, you were the palace guard, what position did you hold later?"

"Father Kang's order is just a turmoil, and the minister failed to perform his duties."

"That's fine, you assist Director Situ first, and then arrange specific duties later."

"only."

"There is one more thing. Let me tell you first. After you return to the city, discuss it with Situ and Sikong."

"Please order, Your Majesty."

"I want to change the yuan." Liu Xie said: "There are still a few days before the new year, please ask the ministers to prepare a few year names for future use."

Chapter 201

Xun You led Xun Yu to the tent.

As the most important servant of the emperor, he has a tent of his own, so he doesn't have to be crowded with others.

After entering the tent and taking off his dusty coat, Xun Yu sat on the couch, looking through the gap in the tent door to the fire in the distance.

The emperor was still by the fire, his back like a bow.

"Gongda, what do you think of him?" Xun Yu raised his chin.

"The concubine of the Emperor of Qin and Han Wu." Xun You said without hesitation: "It's a pity that you are rarely lost, and you don't know the scriptures of sages. If you have a sage to assist you and teach you the way of kings, you should be a hero of the generation."

Xun Yu looked away and looked at Xun You. "Did he act inappropriately?"

Xun You nodded. "Wei Gu and Fan Xian took Taiwei Yang Biao and rebelled. The emperor's royal conquest was personally conscripted. The governor of Hedong, Wang Yi, saw that he was falsely accused, and he became a court captain. He was humiliated. After returning to Hedong, the emperor used my strategy to surround Wei's family. If you don’t attack, you will be self-sufficient with the food stored in the nearby counties.”

"What's wrong with that?"

Xun You smiled wryly. "The Son of Heaven told Shang Shuling Pei Mao that no matter what method Pei Mao uses, he must raise enough food for half a month for the army within two days. Today is the second day, only Wenxi has brought food, and the other counties... "

"What happened to the other counties?" Xun Yu looked at Xun You puzzled. "The Son of Heaven is in distress. Isn't it a matter of course to take the food stored in the counties to save the emergency? After Dong Zhuo's death, there has been no major war in the past few years in Hedong, so the counties should have some stored food."

Xun You smiled wryly and shook his head. "How many states and counties in the world still have the imperial court in their hearts? There is no grain in the warehouse in Anyi County, and the warehouse in Anyi County is not much better. I don't know if Situ and Sikong have raised grain. If Wei Wei If the attack is blocked, the Taiwei's command may be affected again."

"The Taiwei is in charge of the army?" Xun Yu's heart moved, and his tone became a little urgent.

Xun You glanced at Xun Yu, and the helplessness in his eyes was even heavier.

"Uncle, don't be too happy. There may be a chance for Situ to be in charge of the people, but it is very difficult for the Taiwei to be in charge of the army. You have also seen that the emperor puts on a strong and stubborn sword, and wants to be the emperor immediately. How can the Taiwei divide the power? "

Xun Yu nodded, but he was not as pessimistic as Xun You. "Even if you are an immediate emperor, you have only fought for more than ten years. Situ governing the people is a long-term career. Chen Zhongju and Li Yuanli have fought for this opportunity? Gongda, you can't be confused by the present and forget the long-term plan. "

Xun You disagrees. "Uncle, the Son of Heaven is young, I am afraid that if he has the heart to fight, he will go all out to fight, and he will inevitably repeat the mistakes of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty."

Xun Yu stroked his short beard under his jaw, his eyes flickering.

"Gongda, tell me about what you have been through since you became an official."

Xun You was already prepared and signaled to Xun Yu not to rush, they had plenty of time.

The emperor asked him to place Xun Yu for this purpose.

After washing, the two went to bed, hugged the quilt, and talked.

Xun You talked about the emperor's ambition to rejuvenate the great man, about the ambitions of Jia Xu and Xiliang people, about the hope of Situ Zhao Wen, Wei Weishi Sun Rui and others to regain power, and also about the emperor's order of Yang Xiu to assist Yang Ding, and the arrangement of Confucian scholars for The actions of the teachers in the army also revealed the emperor's intention to drive the Huns out of the frontier.

Xun Yu listened quietly, frowning more and more.

It is a good thing for the Son of Heaven to have ambitions, and it is also reasonable for the ministers to want to be in power - they have been fighting with their relatives and eunuchs for hundreds of years, and it is also a good thing for the people of Xiliang to fight for the right to speak - they want to make meritorious deeds. Better than wanton killing.

But it is not necessarily a good thing to have so many ideas tangled together.

The most unfavorable thing is that the emperor may form an alliance with the warriors, turning civil officials into vassals like swordsmen.

This is not the kingly way Confucianism hopes.

The emperor's reliance on Yang Feng is also worrying.

This shows that the emperor's move against the Hedong family is by no means a temporary expedient measure, but may be a rehearsal instead.

Restraining cum is not a bad thing, but acting too hastily is often the root of disaster.

"Gongda, don't worry too much about assisting the emperor in the battle." Xun Yu made a decision after a long consideration. "Since the Son of Heaven asked me to see Situ, I have some concerns when I think about it, and I hope to have a perfect plan. At this time, you and I should work together with the Son of Heaven to overcome the difficulties. We must not use our emotions to give up food because of choking."

Xun You nodded in agreement.

Xun Yu first abandoned Yuan Shao in favor of Cao Cao, and now he abandons Cao Cao in favor of the Son of Heaven, which shows that neither Yuan Shao nor Cao Cao is an ideal monarch.In contrast, the Son of Heaven is young, his administration is shallow, and he still has the opportunity to make corrections.

-

Early the next morning, Xun Yu was woken up by the sound outside.

He turned over and saw that Xun You had disappeared.

He sat up, only to realize that his whole body was sore.He was very tired from the bumpy ride all the way.I didn't feel it on the road, but after sleeping all night, I realized how tired I was.

But he still insisted on getting up, and first did a few guides in the tent to relieve a little fatigue, then he put on his coat and went out of the big tent.

There was a lot of excitement in front of me.

The Son of Heaven is practicing swordsmanship, and his opponent is a young tiger, and a middle-aged warrior is guiding him beside him.

The Son of Heaven is very respectful to the middle-aged warriors, he obeys his disciples and obeys his advice.

Xun Yu couldn't help taking another look, and vaguely remembered that this person seemed to be Wang Yue, a famous swordsman in Luoyang, whom he had met when he was in Luoyang.Wang Yue is quite well-known among knight-errants and swordsmen. Both He Yong and Xu You admired his swordsmanship and recommended him to Yuan Shao.
