Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be right.Guan Yu defected to Liu Bei before the Yellow Turban Uprising, and 11 years had passed since the Yellow Turban Uprising.

He immediately realized another problem: Xu Huang actually remembered the murder and escape case more than ten years ago?

"How many years have you been an official in the county?"

"More than five years."

"Then do you still remember the murder case more than ten years ago?"

"I have read all the Yuanshu (judgments) in the county."

Liu Xie involuntarily turned to look at Xu Huang. "all?"

"All." Xu Huang nodded calmly. "The situation in Hedong is complicated. Many people will hide after committing crimes, and come out to commit crimes after a while. Knowing the previous cases, it is possible to catch fugitives who commit crimes again."

"What do you mean by the complicated situation in Hedong? The terrain is complicated, or the people's sentiments are complicated?"

"All of them." Xu Huang said lightly and then closed his mouth, completely not interested in taking advantage of the situation to speak.

Liu Xie became more and more curious.

He wanted to know about the situation in Hedong. Xu Huang had been an official in the Governor's Mansion of Hedong for many years and was familiar with the situation.

What made him even more curious was that Xu Huang didn't want to say more when he had a chance to express himself. He didn't know whether it was because of his personality, or the situation in Hedong was too complicated to explain clearly in a few words, or he felt that he The emperor is also unfair, so it is better not to say it.

"Xuzhou Mu Liu Bei has a general named Guan Yu, who is said to be from Hedong. He is nine feet tall and has a beautiful beard, which is rare in the world."

Xu Huang nodded. "That should be him."

"If you play against him, what are your chances of winning?"

Xu Huang turned his head to look at Liu Xie with a hint of surprise in his eyes.Liu Xie also looked at him with a smile on his face.

The moment the four eyes met, Xu Huang's heart moved slightly, then he withdrew his gaze, bowed his head and pondered for a moment. "If the end game is right, and the martial arts are compared, the minister is not his opponent."

"Why do you know?" Liu Xie was a little surprised.According to historical records, Xu Huang confronted Guan Yu head-on.

"The strength of the body is not bad, but the strength of the minister is not as good as that of a person."

"Invincible, can you outsmart it?"

Xu Huang hesitated again for a moment. "It's up to me to be invincible, but it's up to the enemy to be victorious. Whether he can outsmart him depends on whether he has an opportunity to take advantage of."

Liu Xie laughed and said nothing.

He already knew the pros and cons of Xu Huang and Guan Yu.

In terms of personal martial arts, Xu Huang may not be as good as Guan Yu.The tie in the Battle of Fancheng was due to chance, and it was also because Guan Yu was injured first.Under normal circumstances, Guan Yu has a better chance of winning.

But in terms of potential as a famous general, Xu Huang is obviously better than Guan Yu.

Among other things, this modesty and prudence are not comparable to Guan Yu.

-

Knowing that the emperor was coming, Duan Yan went out of the city to greet him in person.

Jia Xu was also in the welcoming team.Standing behind Duan Yan, he quietly looked at the slowly approaching emperor, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Yang Biao was right. Although the facial features of the Son of Heaven in front of him had not changed, his temperament had changed significantly.

Especially those eyes, which have a depth and vicissitudes that people of the same age cannot match. Compared with the few servants and servants standing around him who are in their forties, they are not calm enough, let alone Yang Xiu who has just been weak.

Perhaps the big man really has an unfinished destiny, so that a vision descended from the sky to show the world.

Just as Dong Zhuo made a mistake and did something that Emperor Xiaoling wanted to do but failed.

The emperor's simple ceremonial guard stopped, Duan Yan immediately lifted the hem of his clothes, hurried to the emperor's horse with small steps, and bowed to salute.

"General Ning Ji, Chen Yao, pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Thanks for your hard work, General." Liu Xie took the reins of the horse, glanced over Duan Yan, and paused for a moment on Jia Xu's face, the corners of his mouth were raised slightly, and he nodded in greeting.

Jia Xu smiled knowingly, stepped forward and cupped her hands. "Chenxu, pay homage to Your Majesty."

Xu Huang got off his horse, walked up to Liu Xie's horse, and was about to rein in the horse, but was stopped by Duan Yan.

Duan Yao paid homage again: "Your Majesty, I take the liberty to hold the bridle for Your Majesty."

Liu Xie was overjoyed in his heart, but he declined and said: "How can you do such a despicable thing for the dry city of the general country? No, no."

Duan Yan insisted: "The minister is dull. He has neither the merit of escort nor the ability to attack the city and pull out the stronghold. I am very grateful, and I am willing to hold the bridle for His Majesty, as a token of my heart."

Liu Xie understood.

Duan Yan deliberately pretended to be pitiful, and stabbed Yang Ding in the back by the way.

It's an ancestral skill for Liangzhou people to engage in internal strife, so it's no wonder that it can't be a big deal.It was really wise for Huangfusong to reject Yan Zhong's suggestion, but the wiser Jia Xu didn't think in this direction at all.

He knows the nature of Liangzhou people too well.

Liu Xie agreed, and Duan Yao took the bridle and got off the horse.He took Duan Yao's hand and patted it lightly. "Emperor Xiaohuan's posthumous posthumous title is inseparable from his meritorious service in the Sanming campaign in Liangzhou. Taiwei Duan pacified the Western Qiang and destroyed the Eastern Qiang. The battle must be won, the attack must be conquered, and it stirs people's hearts. Every time I think about it, I can't help being fascinated. Now the general town Huayin cares for the common people and provides food and clothing for the imperial court when they are in dire straits, they can be called a loyal family.”

Duan Yao was delighted. "To get His Majesty's words, the Wuwei Duan family's lintel is honored."

Jia Xu's expression moved slightly.

Liu Xie sighed. "It's a pity that the faction between the court and the middle party even involved Duan Taiwei, which is very sad. Although I am not sensitive, I would like to repay the general's kindness so that the general will not have any worries about his death."

Duan Yan was overjoyed, bowed and bowed again, tears streaming down his face.

Jia Xu couldn't help being moved, and the corner of his mouth twitched inadvertently.

Liu Xie turned to Taiwei Yang Biao and sighed: "Mr. Yang, if Taiwei Duan is here, today's chaos may be avoided?"

Yang Biao looked distressed.

He is the current Taiwei, the emperor's words are equivalent to saying that he is not as good as Duan Jiong, and the corpse is a vegetarian.

This is revenge.The emperor was dissatisfied with his coercion and deliberately embarrassed him in public.

But he had to admit that what the emperor said was not unreasonable, as Duan Jiong was one of the three bright men of Liangzhou, he was famous and could stop children from crying, even the ferocious Xiliang generals would not dare to be disrespectful.

Dong Zhuo himself was Duan Jiong's Sima back then.

At this moment, in order to win over Duan Yan, and even Jia Xu, Duan Jiong is the most suitable reason for the emperor to show his favor to the people of Liangzhou.

For the sake of the overall situation, I can only endure it.

"Your Majesty's words are very true. I am ashamed of your Majesty. Please resign as a Taiwei and wait for a sage."

Liu Xie glanced at Yang Biao.The old fox wants to take the opportunity to resign again, which is a good idea.

"Mr. Yang, don't blame yourself too much. This is not your responsibility alone. Since Zhongxing, how many people have deserved their names like Duan Taiwei? Emperor Xiaowu respected Confucianism, and Emperor Guangwu rewarded integrity, but this has created such a situation , It is a pity. I would like to change the evil, and I hope the Taiwei will help me."

Looking at Liu Xie with a sincere expression, Yang Biao's heart tightened.

Son of Heaven, this is not a momentary revenge, but a long-planned counterattack.

According to what he meant, he wanted to uproot the policy of exclusive respect for Confucianism since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?

Chapter 33 Want to go?no way!

Although Yang Biao was uneasy, these were all his own conjectures, not the emperor's explicit statement, and it was not good for him to refute in front of Duan Yan and Jia Xu, lest he be misunderstood for his opinions on Duan Jiong and miss the point.

"Your Majesty has ambitions, and I should do my best to help the Prime Minister rectify the situation, and dare not be selfish." Yang Biao said respectfully.

Liu Xie secretly gave a thumbs up.

An old fox is an old fox, leaving no flaws.

However, if you think I'm just talking, then you think it's easy.

Liu Xie turned around and said to Duan Yan and Jia Xu: "Duke Yang, the fourth and third prince, is famous all over the world. With his help, this matter will be half completed. The remaining half will fall on your shoulders. Work hard!"

Duan Yan didn't understand those cloudy words, he only thought that Liu Xie was talking about rectifying Duan Jiong's name and protecting his wealth, he was very happy and thanked him again and again.But Jia Xu heard the complicated meaning behind Liu Xie and Yang Biao's words, and couldn't help being moved.

Although their true intentions are still unclear, the conflict is so intense that it should not be as simple as showing it to them.

Maybe the opportunity for change is right around the corner?

Jia Xu made a decision almost instantly. He had to find out what the emperor was thinking and confirm whether his guess was correct.

"How can I be so virtuous, I am ashamed, ashamed to be so valued by His Majesty." Jia Xu bowed his hands in greeting.

"Hahaha..." Liu Xie laughed loudly, supporting Duan Yan's arm with one hand and Jia Xu's arm with the other. "Jia Jun, I have a question, and it may be presumptuous."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Are you really Duan Gong's nephew?"

Jia Xu was slightly taken aback. "Why did His Majesty say that?"

"I heard people say that when you resigned due to illness and returned to Liangzhou, you encountered bandits on the way, and you were able to escape thanks to Duan Gongwei's reputation."

Jia Xu burst out laughing and shook her hands. "Unexpectedly, Your Majesty found out about this. I am really ashamed." He paused, and then said: "Although the minister and the Duan family belong to the same county, they have no blood. At that time, it was just a matter of expediency to entrust the name of Duan Gong's nephew. That's all."

"That's such a pity. When he shines in Japanese and Japanese, the Wuwei Duan family can't be honored." Liu Xie turned to Duan Yan and said solemnly: "General, you should work hard. Can the Wuwei Duan family's reputation be improved?" It all fell on the general's shoulders."

Duan Yao laughed, but didn't take it to heart.

Although Jia Xu is smart, he is from Liangzhou.Now that the situation is urgent, the emperor has to give him a three-pointer. In the future, the situation will be stable. There will be no place for Jia Xu in the court full of Kanto people.Even if the emperor valued him, it would not help. Emperor Xiaoling also valued Gai Xun back then, but Gai Xun was still squeezed out by the Kanto people, and he was not as high as Jiuqing.

Wuwei Duan family needs to cling to Jia Xu?ridiculous.

Jia Xu's mood is a bit complicated.

Although the emperor's move does not rule out the possibility of flattering and killing him, the emperor has already shown his sincerity by being able to come to Duan Yao's camp to meet him in person.

Not to mention promising him wealth in front of everyone.

The opportunity is here, do you want to seize it?

It stands to reason that the kindness of knowledge and encounter should be repaid by springs, not to mention that Bole is the most respected emperor in the world.To meet Mingjun is the luck that countless courtiers dream of.

But he is very clear that this road is full of thorns and it is not so easy to walk.

The big man has a lot of evils, ZTE is easier said than done?

It is easy to repel Li Jue, Guo Si and others, but it is extremely difficult to get rid of the accumulated evils.Throughout the ages, regardless of success or failure, most of the reformers did not end well.Wu Qi and Shang Yang are both lessons from the past.

Jia Xu was lost in thought for a moment.

Everyone was at a loss, at a loss, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Liu Xie also became a little nervous.

Are you in a hurry?

With Jia Xu's intelligence, even if he can't guess everything, he can understand the complexity and difficulty of the situation.And with his old tortoise attributes of being able to follow through, will he be scared off because of this, and simply shrink his neck, and follow through to the end?

Liu Xie turned to look at Duan Yao.

Duan Yao understood, lowered his face, and coughed majestically. "Wenhe, don't be rude in front of Your Majesty."

Jia Xu was startled, came back to her senses, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. "The minister was thinking for a while, and the king was rude, so please punish him."

"Oh?" Liu Xie took Jia Xu's arm and walked forward slowly. "Why don't Jia Jun talk about what he thinks, and I will decide whether to punish him or not."

"The ones I think about are Jia Yi, Dong Zhongshu, Liu Xiang, and Huan Tan."

Liu Xie didn't understand for a while, these four people... have any connection?

But he thought of another routine that seemed familiar.Historically, when Cao Cao asked about the timing, Jia Xu played such a routine, using the examples of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao to dissuade Cao Cao from abolishing his elders and establishing his son.

Although history hasn't happened yet, Jia Xu's genes for avoiding positive answers and for making insinuations are hidden in Jia Xu's bone marrow.

According to this routine, Liu Xie quickly understood Jia Xu's implication.

These four people have at least two things in common: they were all important promoters of the development of Confucianism in the Han Dynasty, and they all died badly.

Therefore, it can be roughly inferred that Jia Xu's gene of wanting to live and fearing death is at work.

But it doesn't matter, I've been prepared for a long time, I won't give you a chance, and I will definitely force you into my boat.

"Jia Jun's Jia and Jia Yi's Jia are the same Jia?"

"That's the old legend, but there is no real evidence." Jia Xu said lightly.

"Then how many generations have the Jia family been in Wuwei?"

Jia Xu pondered for a while. "About seven or eight."

"How many ancestral tombs are there?"

"There are about a hundred generations of ancestors."
