Han Dao world

Ma Teng said with a smile: "Brother Wenhe, although Wen Yue and I are old, we can still eat."

Jia Xu laughed. "You may be able to eat, but how can the great achievements of the Han Dynasty be achieved overnight? Your ancestor Ma Fubo is old and strong, and he is only sixty years old. If you fight for ten years, you should return to the country as a marquis and spoil your grandchildren." Yes. Future career will depend on these younger generations.”

Ma Teng laughed, looking forward, his pride gradually grew.

He has always claimed to be Ma Fubo's successor, but everyone knows that the Fufeng Ma family will never recognize him as a branch of the common clan.

If there is an opportunity to pay homage to the prince and general with military exploits like Ma Yuan, and establish his own family, of course he will not refuse.

Even if he is shrouded in leather like Ma Yuan, he is willing.

Ma Chao's eyes became brighter and his scalp felt numb.

Ma Teng is old, but he is still young and has enough time to make achievements.

Han Sui was upset when he heard that, so he quickly got back to the topic. "Brother Wenhe, even if the Son of Heaven is determined to rejuvenate himself, what does it matter to us entering Guanzhong?"

Jia Xu glanced at Han Sui with a smile. "Wenyue, Guanzhong is broken, you should know."

Han Sui nodded.

He had marched into Guanzhong with Ma Teng at the beginning of the year, so he naturally knew what Guanzhong was like.

"The brokenness of Henan is better than that of Guanzhong."

Han Sui's eyes flickered slightly, thoughtful. "So, where will the Son of Heaven go?"

"Where will the emperor go, let's not say for the time being. From the perspective of the text, if the country is established in troubled times, should the capital be in Chang'an, should the capital be in Luoyang?"

"Of course it's Chang'an." Han Sui was thoughtful. "So, the emperor intends to attract people from Liangzhou to settle in Guanzhong to enrich their household registration?"

"Whether the emperor has this intention is not important, what is important is that we can take advantage of the situation." Jia Xu talked eloquently. "The Son of Heaven wants to conquer the world with seclusion and coolness, and to lead the army, there must be a hostage. The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass have to go first, so there must be someone to cultivate. The Son of Heaven sent 2 people from the old troops of Li Jue and Guo Si to garrison the fields in Guanzhong, which is far from enough. The land power in Guanzhong needs at least [-] households to meet the needs of the emperor."

Han Sui and Ma Teng glanced at each other and laughed out loud at the same time.

One hundred thousand households is enough to accommodate the entire Liangzhou.

This is simply a godsend.

Of course, even if there is a shortage of people in Guanzhong, the emperor will not let all Liangzhou people move into Guanzhong, and will definitely give priority to those who are willing to support him.

In other words, supporting the emperor at this time can not only make contributions, but also immediately get the opportunity to move to Guanzhong.

Think back then, how much did Zhang Huan pay to move to the mainland?

Now, this opportunity is right in front of them, at their fingertips.

For a while, not only Ma Teng, who was originally from Guanzhong, was moved, but even Han Sui, who lived in Jincheng for generations, could not keep calm.

It would be a pity to let go of such a good opportunity.

But Han Sui is Han Sui after all, not Ma Teng.

He chatted with Jia Xu calmly and asked about the details of how the imperial court killed Li Jue.

Jia Xu came one by one.

When Han Sui heard that the emperor's repelling of Li Jue was not due to Jia Xu's design, but Gan Gang's arbitrariness, he was greatly surprised, and at the same time understood why Jia Xu supported the emperor so much, so he rushed to Liangzhou without hesitation. Be a lobbyist.

There is no doubt that this is not only their personal opportunity, but also an excellent opportunity for Liangzhou.

A single tree does not make a forest.If Liangzhou people want to have enough voice in the court, only one or two people are not enough. They need to form a group to fight against the Kanto family.

Otherwise, even an all-rounder in civil and military affairs like Liangzhou Sanming or Gai Xun, it would be difficult to fundamentally change the situation.

However, Ma Chao was very interested in the story of the emperor rushing to the battle and beheading Li Jue with his own hands, so he couldn't help asking a few questions, yearning for him.

Leading a hundred cavalry to charge forward and kill the opponent's general, how magnificent it is.

It must be a joy to fight with such an emperor.

After a meal, whether it was Han Sui, Ma Teng, Ma Chao, or Han Yin, everyone was excited and saw their own opportunities.

Chapter 217 Theory of Civil and Military Affairs

Liu Xie reined in his mount, watched Zhao Wen, Zhang Xi and others get off the car at the foot of the hill, and looked up at the hill.

Even at such a distance, he could feel the helplessness on their faces.

Tang Ji came for a trip, but returned without success.

Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi finally couldn't hold back any longer, they dragged Yang Biao together, and came to meet him in person in the name of the court meeting.

Once every five days, this is a system, and he can't refuse it.

Liu Xie got off his horse and ordered people to set up a few beds.

In extraordinary times, keep everything simple.Sangong sits and talks, but Jiuqing can only stand.

When Zhao Wen and others came up, Liu Xie stood up with a harmless smile on his face.

"Thank you, gentlemen, for your hard work."

"It's not hard, it's not hard." Zhang Xi said out of breath.

Among the three men, although he is not the oldest, he is the weakest.

"Your Majesty is standing up for Zhongxing, and he doesn't say it's hard. How dare the ministers pretend to be hard work." Taiwei Yang Biao said unhurriedly, his face was calm, and he couldn't see the embarrassment of being neglected by the emperor for a few days.

Liu Xie also pretended not to hear, and turned to look at Shaofu Tian Fen.

"Has Huchuquan been settled?"

Tian Fen looked helpless and bowed to salute. "Your Majesty, Da Honglu is absent and there is no director."

Liu Xie looked at Yang Biao and the others. "Da Hong Lu Qing is absent, why not make it up?"

Yang Biao bowed and said: "There are many things at the time, the court is too busy to take care of itself, and the vassals don't make contributions. There is no one in Dahong for a while, and it doesn't delay the political affairs. Now that there is something to do, just make up for it. The minister waits for you to ask for orders. This is one of them."

Liu Xie nodded, and said again: "If Da Honglu is absent for a while, who should be the agent of the feudal state?"

Yang Biao salutes again. "According to the old system, the Taiwei is in charge of military affairs in all directions, and the vassal state is mostly related to the military, so it should be managed by the Taiwei's Mansion. The minister is negligent, please Your Majesty remove the minister, so as to select a wise man."

Liu Xie looked at Yang Biao, angry and funny.

At this time, you still refuse to give up, you must push Sun Rui to take the position.

Resign at the first chance, okay, I will let you do so.

"What about Situ and Sikong's opinions?"

Zhao Wenwen and Zhang Xi exchanged glances, and bowed to accept the order. "The ministers and others seconded the proposal."

Liu Xie nodded. "Then get rid of the Taiwei and appoint Dahonglu for the time being. I want to put down the Xiongnu, and Dahonglu is indispensable."

The expressions on Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi's faces instantly became extremely exciting.

Accepting Yang Biao's resignation, dismissing Yang Biao's Taiwei, but appointing him as Dahonglu, seems to be a respect to the veteran, but in fact it is very narrow-minded, and it can even be said to be childish.

It seems that the emperor is still angry.

Yang Biao was stunned for a moment, then bowed to accept the order.

"Situ, the battle on Wei Wei's side is not over yet, can food and armaments be supplied?"

Zhao Wen said: "The food from the counties has arrived one after another, so there is no need to worry about the food. According to Wei Wei, the Fan family has the intention to surrender, and it may not necessarily require a strong attack. There is not much demand for ordnance, and the ordnance seized by the Wei family is enough. It's just that ..."

Zhao Wen hesitated for a moment. "Your Majesty just said that in order to put down the Huns' rebellion, the ministers and others have not heard the edict, so I don't know what your majesty's strategy is, how many troops to use, and how much food and ordnance you need. Please tell your majesty clearly."

"As for the use of troops, I have discussed it with the Taiwei first, so I won't talk to you for the time being." Liu Xie waved his hand. "Let's talk about enlightenment. Situ, Sikong, has Li Shi made any progress recently?"

Hearing the word "education", Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi felt a buzzing pain in their heads, and they didn't even want to mention it.

Zhao Wen insisted: "Your Majesty, the Taiwei is here, and the ministers are also here. Why don't we discuss it together?"

Liu Xie was surprised. "Didn't the captain just resign?"

The corners of Zhao Wen's mouth twitched, his gray beard trembled, and his sleeves kept shaking, feeling the urge to roll up his sleeves and hit someone. "Your Majesty, it is not a child's play to use the Xiongnu as soldiers. Not only should you discuss it with the Taiwei, but all the three princes should participate in it."

Liu Xie pondered for a moment. "Situ's words cannot be said to be completely unreasonable. Not only the food and weapons needed for the soldiers need to be raised by the Situ Mansion, but also the rewards for the soldiers who have done meritorious service after the suppression of the rebellion are also inseparable from the Situ Mansion, especially the education..."

Zhao Wen was impatient. "Your Majesty, can we not mention enlightenment?"

One Li style is enough for him to have a headache, how about a group of Huns?

"On the contrary." Liu Xie said solemnly: "I think enlightenment is the most important thing to discuss first. If you don't send a single soldier, just have a few great Confucians read the sage's scriptures, you can let the Xiongnu rebels release their soldiers." If you are bound by yourself, why bother to mobilize the troops and make an expedition?"

"This..." Zhao Wen turned blue with anger.

Son of Heaven, this is intentional.

"Why, Situ thought it was not feasible?" Liu Xie said lightly: "At the beginning in Luoyang, the scholars were arbitrarily arguing, and the students of the imperial court wrote letters at every turn, saying that the court would follow its plan, and it would surely lead to kingship and peace. Such a talent, Send a few people to educate the Huns, no problem."

"The Xiongnu are barbarians, how can they be compared with the imperial court? Your majesty's words, I dare not agree." Yang Biao couldn't see it, so he had to speak.

"Master said, if people from afar are not satisfied, you should practice literature and virtue. Li said: To comfort guests, to please people far away. Dahonglu manages the affairs of the vassal, how to cultivate literature and virtue to come to people far away, and how to comfort guests, and please people far away. People? How about three years?"

Yang Biao cupped his hands and said: "I will do my best, but my intelligence is shallow and my strength is weak. Three years will not be enough to accomplish anything."

"Will you be able to fulfill your wish in those few years?" Liu Xie said lightly: "I am still young, and I can afford to wait. If it doesn't work in three years, it will work in ten years. If it doesn't work in ten years, it will work in 30 years. As long as you have confidence, I am willing to accompany you." You wait. It's just that before the Xiongnu rebellion is put down, all necessary expenses will be deducted from your salary."

Liu Xie snorted. "Since the Southern Xiongnu's surrender, the imperial court has rewarded more than [-] million yuan every year, but now it has ended up in such a situation. It is a bit unfair to spend this money. I am poor now, and I dare not waste it like this. Please, gentlemen, share it with me."

Everyone looked at each other.

One hundred million yuan is really not much, especially for Sangong who has a salary of ten thousand stones.But the meaning of the emperor is obviously not that there is more money and less money, but that he is dissatisfied with the long-standing policy of appeasing the Huns, and intends to change course.

From this point of view, the emperor's intention to send troops to conquer the Huns was by no means a whim, but had a longer-term plan.

Zongzheng Liu Ai plucked up his courage and stepped forward to salute.

"Your Majesty, although appeasement of the Xiongnu is not effective, the conquest can only be a short-term success. In case of failure, the loss will be huge. Now that the world is in chaos, Your Majesty should appease the Xiongnu and use their deadly strength to send troops to conquest. To drive away the sparrows, loved ones will suffer and enemies will be happy."

Liu Xie nodded slightly, his expression slightly relaxed.

"So we should use both civil and military forces, use military to conquer, and use culture to educate. I have a strategy for the conquest. The matter of enlightenment must be done by the kings."

He paused for a moment, then sighed again.

"The master, with his own strength, taught without distinction, taught three thousand disciples, and then promoted the great career of Confucianism, becoming a generation of the most holy teacher. The kings regard themselves as saints and disciples, and they should follow the master's career and make it great, but look forward to the future. Pushing three and blocking four is really puzzling to me."

Zhang Xi rolled his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, non-officials and others are unwilling to pass on the deeds of saints, it is because they are not capable enough."

"Why not arrest?"

"To teach people, you need notebooks, pens and inks, and you can't pass them on by word of mouth. The brothers of Zhongyuan can't have all the tools, and the Huns live after water and grass, so how can they have pens, inks, and notebooks?"

Chapter 218 Seeking common ground while reserving differences

Liu Xie looked at Yang Biao and Zhao Wen with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Is that so?"

Yang Biao bowed his head and remained silent.

Although Zhao Wen didn't bow his head, he also lowered his eyelids, not daring to look at Liu Xie.

Although it cannot be said that Zhang Xi's reason is completely nonsense, at least it is not the truth.

It is definitely not what a minister should do to perfuse the emperor with specious reasons, even if it is an expedient measure.

But they couldn't expose Zhang Xi's rhetoric in person.

Firstly, what Zhang Xi said was not completely unreasonable, and secondly, although the Son of Heaven's idea was unfeasible, it happened to be in line with the way of a sage.It is impossible to refute it theoretically, but it can only be prevented from the difficulty of practice.

"Do you think so too?" Liu Xie turned to Taichang Wangjiang, Tingwei Xuanbo and others.

Liu Ai hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to salute.

"Your Majesty's enlightenment of the barbarians has far-reaching intentions, and I admire it. It's just that the enlightenment takes a long time and consumes a lot of money, so it can't be done overnight. And the saints educate the near and then the distant, first close and then distant, first strengthen the root and then prosper the branches and leaves. The minister wishes Your Majesty is approaching step by step, setting up a long-term plan, not seeking success in a short time."

Zhao Wen also said: "I think Liu Ai's words are justified. The people of the Han family are still in trouble, and the children have not popularized the sage Deze. It is too hasty to educate the barbarians. It is suspected that the basics are discarded. And your majesty selects Confucian scholars and serves as priests in Yang Ding's army. , The success or failure is yet to be known, and it seems inappropriate to rush to promote it. If it is effective, the soldiers of the tigers and wolves in Liangzhou will be loyal and brave, and there will be traces to follow.

Liu Xie pondered for a moment, then looked at everyone.

The crowd joined in.

Liu Xie took a step back. "What you said is honesty and loyalty. Although, there is no rush, no delay in planning. You should have a plan and implement it step by step. Situ, this matter will be hard on you."

Zhao Wen had no choice but to bow down and accept the order.

"The people's livelihood is withering, the palace can be slowed down, but the school can't be deserted. Sikong is more concerned."

Just as Zhang Xi was about to speak, Yang Biao said: "Your Majesty, Sikong Shi is a long-time Confucian, and he is especially good at teaching. During the time of Xiaoxian, his great-grandfather, the old Taiwei, started school in Nangong for the four surnamed princes, and his brother, the old Sikong Ji, also served as a lecturer at Guanghua Palace. The minister thinks that Sikong can be in charge of enlightenment."
