Han Dao world

That is, to have an opinion on Zhao Wen himself?

Liu Xie immediately remembered that when it comes to sericulture, Yizhou's strength is no less than that of Jingzhou, and even from the perspective of transportation, Yizhou has more advantages.When Zhuge Liang ruled Shu, Shu Brocade was an important pillar of financial revenue.

Zhao Wen is from Yizhou.

"Have you asked Situ for his opinion?" Liu Xie said.

"Situ objected, saying that this is a competition for the interests of the people." Liu Ba said flatly, with no expression on his face.

"..." Liu Xie smacked his lips.

It really is a familiar taste.

Yang Biao invited Jia Xu to a seat and ordered tea to be served.

Jia Xu took her seat calmly, sipped tea slowly, and talked with Yang Biao about the differences between teas from different places.

Yang Biao didn't have that patience. After some politeness, he said directly, "Wenhe, I want to ask you about your attitude towards negotiation."

"I support peace talks." Jia Xu didn't think about it.

"That's good." Yang Biao breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Then how do you think the peace should be negotiated?"

"I support the emperor's decision." Jia Xu twitched his lips slightly.

Yang Biao's brows that had just been stretched were frowned again. "If so, I'm afraid Yuan Benchu ​​will not agree."

"It doesn't matter if Yuan Benchu ​​refuses, as long as Shandong people are willing." Jia Xu pondered for a moment, and then said: "It would be better if they also refused. Those who commit crimes themselves, cannot live, and those who are greedy will definitely bear the blame."

Yang Biao frowned. "Wenhe, do you think so?"

Jia Xu raised her eyelids, looked at Yang Biao, and the smile on her mouth grew wider and wider. "Actually, this is the idea of ​​your son Dezu. I just think it's good. I just borrowed it. Some words have been slightly changed."

"Dezu?" Yang Biao was stunned for a moment, suddenly having a headache.

"Do you still remember the test questions given by the emperor to Dezu?"

Yang Biao nodded, feeling more and more uneasy.Of course he remembered the exam questions given to Yang Xiu by the emperor, but he didn't know that Yang Xiu had already found the answer, let alone such an answer.

"This is Dezu's answer." Jia Xu said quietly: "Brother Wen has been in northern Xinjiang for two years, and he should not object to his answer. Qin can't destroy the six kingdoms, and can't keep the Huns away thousands of miles away. Han can't decide Shandong, The Xiongnu cannot be made a vassal. Although Xianbei flees for a while, he will come sooner or later. If we can't take this opportunity to train troops and store food, how long will the northwest be stable?"

Jia Xu laughed softly: "It makes no sense that when people from the Northwest defend the country and fight with their lives, the people from Shandong won't even provide money and food. Besides, when the Son of Heaven prosecutes Xianbei to expel Xianbei, the people from Shandong not only leave Qian Liang, who also supported Yuan Shao's siege, shouldn't he be punished as he should? The emperor is willing to pardon them, it is the emperor's kindness. If they regard the emperor as weak and deceitful, hehe..."

Yang Biao's scalp was numb, and a burst of cold sweat broke out on his back.

From Jia Xu's soft voice, he heard a strong killing intent.

Chapter 633 The Way of Horse Racing

Is the Son of Heaven weak?

Anyone with common sense would not think so.

As a young man, the Son of Heaven went to the battle in person, and after a series of victories, Liangzhou was pacified within two years, and the frontier troubles were preliminarily resolved.Who dares to say that such a monarch is weak?

But it does not rule out that some people are selectively blind, or deceiving their ears and stealing the bell, and treat the emperor as an ordinary boy.

Or, they believed too much in the power of the courtiers, thinking that they could control the emperor, so that the emperor could not let go.

Accepting Yuan Shao's peace negotiation will undoubtedly aggravate this miscalculation.

Thinking about it this way, I really can't give those people too many concessions.

The more you make concessions, the more he feels that the Son of Heaven is nothing more than that, and he goes further and further down the wrong path, eventually causing unmanageable results.

Yang Biao has been an official for many years and has seen many such examples.

Looking at Jia Xu with sharp eyes and sharp eyes, Yang Biao couldn't help smiling wryly. "Wenhe, is this what the emperor means?"

The sharpness in Jia Xu's eyes faded away, and she returned to her indifferent look of indifference. "It doesn't matter who means it, what matters is whether it is true or not. No matter who it is, it is impossible to go against the sky. Only by following the sky and responding to others, can there be no disadvantages."

Yang Biao also regained his composure. "According to Wenhe's opinion, how can we be in harmony with nature?"

"do not know."

"I don't know?" Yang Biao asked in surprise.Seeing Jia Xu speaking so calmly, he thought Jia Xu had already made up his mind.

"The emperor said a word, and I agree very much."

"It must be the most reasonable thing to get the words and approval." Yang Biao said with a smile, with a three-point tease.

"It's not an exaggeration to say it's the most reasonable." Jia Xu also smiled. "The emperor said that he is not Bole and does not know how to judge horses, but he can let the horses compete in the same field to see who can stand out."

Yang Biao thought for a while, thoughtfully. "So if Xun Wenruo is in Bingzhou and Gouzi is in Liangzhou, are they the venues that the emperor hired for them?"

Jia Xu nodded, and said, "Actually, Yuan Shao did too."

"Yuan Shao?"

Jia Xu smiled, picked up the teacup, and took a shallow sip of tea.

Yang Biao understood and didn't ask any more questions.

Jia Xu's meaning has been made very clear. The emperor is not in a hurry to pacify Shandong. He is more willing to let Yuan Shao toss and see where Yuan Shao can go and whether he can realize the ideals of the scholar-bureaucrats.

But the result is already very clear, Yuan Shao not only failed to bring peace to Shandong, but only brought war to Shandong.

Yang Biao couldn't help thinking again, if the emperor hadn't sent troops, would Yuan Shao be able to pacify Shandong?

After he pacified Shandong, can he resume production and make the country rich and powerful like the emperor implemented the New Deal in Bingliang?

When the thought came together, Yang Biao smiled wryly.

This is simply impossible.

There are many reasons why the great Han has fallen to this point, one of the important reasons is land annexation.A large number of common people had no place to stay, coupled with continuous natural disasters and refugees everywhere, it eventually turned into the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Who is the culprit of the land merger?

Those who support Yuan Shao.

Even the century-old Qiang Rebellion was promoted by those people. As an official in Liangzhou, they expropriated and extorted money;If you think about it carefully, you will find that although they are full of poems and books, their policies are extremely stupid.

Abandoning Liangzhou, treating the main force against Xianbei, the Liangzhou people, as barbarians, and then appeasing the Liangzhou people like the Xianbei people, will Liangzhou be peaceful?

How absurd.

Yang Biao was originally a pragmatist. After nearly two years in charge of affairs in northern Xinjiang, he felt that the ideas of those scholar-bureaucrats were unreasonable, and even less likely to become a reality.Enlightenment is indispensable, but it cannot be achieved by shouting.

Do it like an angel.

Perhaps, the emperor did not send troops, let Yuan Shao torment, let Shandong scholar-bureaucrats suffer, and let them know the consequences of empty talk about morality, which is the real healing and saving lives.

It's just... If it happens, countless people will die innocently, Shandong will also be greatly damaged, and the consequences of Confucianism will be even more serious than the consequences of Wang Mang's usurping the Han.

Yang Biao let out a long sigh and hesitated to speak several times.

He can't be as free and easy as Jia Xu.

"Wenhe, Yuan Shao is not a talent for governing the country."

The corner of Jia Xu's mouth twitched slightly. "I'm afraid someone disagrees with you."

Yang Biao was helpless.He knew who Jia Xu was talking about, and there were quite a few people who hoped that Yuan Shao would be in charge of the court. He said that Yuan Shao was not a talent for governing the country, so he naturally stood on the opposite side of those people, and he would inevitably be criticized.

"As you said just now, it doesn't matter whether someone disagrees with you or not. What matters is the fact or not. Although Yuan Shao is a student of a high school, he has no local experience other than being the head of Puyang when he first became an official. The governance achievements of Bohai and Jizhou are also obvious to all. How can Shandong be governed? Knowing that it can’t be done, and letting it go is not the way of horse racing.”

Jia Xu asked back, "What do you think?"

"In my opinion, the emperor's plan is very good." Yang Biao gritted his teeth. "Let him be the prefect of Bohai first."

Jia Xu laughed silently. "Wen knows current affairs first, I'm afraid that others will not."

"I'll convince them." Yang Biao said with emotion: "No one is more suitable for this kind of thing than me."

Jia Xu nodded and raised his teacup.

-

After Yang Biao sent Jia Xu away, he ordered someone to invite Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi.

Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi came soon.

They had actually been waiting outside and saw Jia Xu leave with their own eyes.

"Wen Xian, what did Jia Wenhe say, is he willing to explain it?" Zhang Xi asked impatiently.

Yang Biao glanced at Zhang Xi, then at Zhao Wen. "Zi Rou, if you don't ask about Shandong, and the imperial court pardons Liu Yan, Liu Zhang and his son for their sins, will Yizhou be safe?"

Both Zhang Xi and Zhao Wen were stunned, and looked at each other with uneasy eyes.

Yang Biao didn't talk about Yuan Shao, he asked Yizhou directly, and he didn't ask Zhang Xi who just came back from Yizhou, but asked Zhao Wen, what does this mean?

But they are all elites who have been in officialdom for a long time, and they quickly understood what Yang Biao meant.

Zhao Wen thought for a while, and then replied: "People think about Han, and the court doesn't ask about the past, and Yizhou has no worries about the future, so it can be at ease."

"Can you guarantee it?"

"Yes." Zhao Wen said confidently, "I can go there myself. If I can't stabilize Yizhou, I will forgive myself and apologize."

Yang Biao turned to look at Zhang Xi. "What about you, would you like to go to Pengcheng to persuade Yuan Shao to accept the edict and be his Bohai prefect with peace of mind?"

Zhang Xi looked pale. "Wen Xian, the emperor decides to use force?"

Yang Biao shook his head. "Ji Li, do you think it will take Yuan Shao a few more years to pacify Shandong? How many more years will it take to restore peace and stability in Shandong, as stable as Liangliang? What are the chances of winning against the imperial court in the future?"

Zhang Xi was speechless, with cold sweat on his forehead.

"If you can't, why not be the prefect of Bohai with peace of mind. Wouldn't it be better to leave a little room for others and yourself?"

Zhang Xi's face turned red, and then turned pale again, repeated several times, before he murmured: "What if Yuan Shao refuses?"

"Whether he is willing or not is not important." Yang Biao patted Zhang Xi's arm and said meaningfully. "The important thing is, are you willing, are the Shandong scholar-bureaucrats willing?"

Chapter 634

Jia Xu sat opposite Liu Xie and told the story of meeting Yang Biao.

Liu Xie listened quietly and nodded.

"Mr. hard work."

Jia Xu sighed. "Your Majesty, I know that this is not a cure for the root cause, but the way of civil and military affairs is one piece and one relaxation. The big man has been ill for decades, and he blindly uses strong medicine. I am afraid that it will hurt his vitality and be invaded by external evils. It is better to take it slowly. , Consolidate the foundation and cultivate the Yuan. And your majesty is rich in spring and autumn, even after 30 years, your majesty will not be as old as I am today. If you wait, your majesty will wait even more."

Liu Xie smiled. "Mister can you wait?"

"I will wait." Jia Xu nodded solemnly. "If peace can be negotiated successfully, the world will be peaceful, and the ministers can learn from Liuhou to keep healthy and bigu, and 30 years may not be impossible."

The smile in Liu Xie's eyes was even wider.

This old fox is advancing by retreating.Like Zhang Liang, can you really let go?

"Sir, you only need to have the wisdom of Liuhou, but you don't need to learn from him to keep healthy and bigu." Liu Xie smiled slightly. "How long did Zhang Liangcai live? If you want to learn from him, you will never see real peace."

Jia Xu was slightly startled, and then laughed. "In this way, the minister can defeat him again."

"Win again?"

"That's right, meeting Your Majesty is more fortunate than Liuhou meeting Emperor Gao." Jia Xu said with a smile, "If I can live longer than him, wouldn't it be better than him again?"

Liu Xie couldn't help but laugh, and then said: "Sir, I should win Marquis Liu, but I dare not win Emperor Gao."

Jia Xu raised her brows lightly, and said with a smile: "If your Majesty does not dare to defeat Emperor Gao, how can you make a 500-year change? At this time of decisive victory, Your Majesty must not be timid. Not to mention Emperor Gao, even the Three Sovereigns and Five Sovereigns will stand on the sidelines." In front of him, His Majesty can only go forward bravely and surpass him in one fell swoop."

Liu Xie clapped his hands and smiled. "May it be as Mr. said."

-

Two days later, Liu Xie held another court meeting to discuss the strategy of appease Yuan Shao.

This time, the meeting went smoothly.

Several veteran officials headed by Yang Biao expressed their support for the emperor's opinion and could accept the peace negotiation, but Yuan Shao could only represent Jizhou affairs as the prefect of Bohai.

In order to facilitate the peace talks, Sikong Zhang Ximao recommended him, willing to go to Shandong to pass the imperial edict.

Seeing this situation, Liu Xie didn't want to make extra troubles, so he could only agree and order someone to draw up an imperial edict.

Of course, he will not be satisfied with Yuan Shao and others' verbal submission.If Yuan Shao accepts this condition, the prefectures and counties in Shandong must send people to advise, report their household registration and land to the imperial court, pay tribute, and promote talents.

In addition, Liu Xie has a series of recovery plans.
