Liu Ba said that after Liu Yu's death, the governor of Youzhou had been vacant, and the affairs of Youzhou were represented by Xun You, the governor of Youyan.But this is not a long-term solution, and it is not in line with the original intention of setting up Youyan Duhu.Now that Yuan Shao accepts the peace talks, he will return to Jizhou, and the world is getting more and more peaceful. This loophole should be filled as soon as possible.

Secondly, Yuan Shu took it as his duty to confront Yuan Shao and transferred him to Youzhou. He would definitely spare no effort to make trouble with Yuan Shao.In this way, Yuan Shao was unable to go south, and the imperial court could compress him to the north of the river to effectively govern the Central Plains.

In the end, Yuan Shu once said that he wanted to save Yuan's daughter who was sent by Yuan Shao to the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes to get married, and this was also an opportunity for him.

Do those Yuan's daughters who are forced to marry support Yuan Shao, or support Yuan Shu?As long as the imperial court takes appropriate measures, it is entirely possible to separate the Xianbei people and Wuhuan people from Yuan Shao's command.

Without the Xianbei and Wuhuan cavalry, Yuan Shao's strength was further weakened, and it was time for hunting.

Two days later, Xun Yu's memorial also arrived.

He also made a suggestion similar to Liu Ba's, and even went a step further, suggesting that the emperor accept Yuan Shunv Yuan Heng into the palace.

After reading Xun Yu's memorial, Liu Xie laughed.

Xun Yu is so cautious.I'm afraid that people will say that his Xun family is too powerful, and I'm worried that Xun Wenqian will be spoiled, and I wish there were as many women in the palace as possible.

But he didn't want to take Yuan Heng into the palace easily.

Things are best right now.

Yuan Shu received the support of the imperial court, but his prestige was far inferior to that of Yuan Shao, and the Yuan family's influence in Runan was actually split.If he brought Yuan Heng into the palace, Yuan Shu's prestige would surpass Yuan Shao's, and those who waited and watched would soon turn to Yuan Shu's sect, and the Yuan family in Runan would soon recover and become a hidden danger to the court.

It’s too late.

But Liu Xie did not completely reject Xun Yu. He announced an oral order: Cai Yan, the commander of Lantai, would teach Yuan Heng to study and learn etiquette; Mobilize women in Shandong to serve as workers, farmers and learners.Taking Hedong as a template, paper workshops and bookstores were established.

In order to ensure Yuan Quan's safety, Liu Xie ordered Ma Yunlu to lead ten female cavalry to escort Yuan Quan eastward.

During Ma Yunlu's business trip, Lu Xiaohuan was acting as the agent for the daily affairs of the women's riding camp.

Chapter 651

Yuan Quan took Yuan Heng's hand and came under the Lantai.

Two maids followed behind, one holding a few bolts of brocade in one hand, and the other holding a thorn bamboo.

After hearing the news, Cai Yan rushed out to meet Yuan Quan, took a look, and couldn't help laughing: "Sister, what is the meaning of this? Between you and me, is it necessary to make it so formal?"

Yuan Quan bowed slightly. "According to the order, it should be so."

When Cai Yan heard this, she didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly put away her smile, and bowed back.

The Cai family and the Yuan family have a very good relationship, and they are about the same age, they can talk well, and they are usually close friends in the boudoir.When Yuan Quan was on official business, Yuan Heng often came to Cai Yan to kill time, and he had long been Cai Yan's unnamed disciple.

Cai Yan welcomed the Yuan sisters in, and according to the etiquette of appreciating teachers, he first took the brocade as a bundle of repairs, and then took the jingzhu, symbolically slapped Yuan Heng's palm twice, admonished a few words, and finished. Etiquette, and then invite them to sit down.

"Sister, can you rest assured now?" Cai Yan teased: "I haven't congratulated my sister on her mission yet. This trip to the east will not only allow husbands and wives to reunite, but it is rare to go on mission as a woman. In the future, Shandong has made a career, and the achievements should not be inferior to your husband."

Yuan Quan smiled lightly and said, "I'm just a vanguard for Mrs. Hongnongwang. In the future, Mrs. Hongnongwang will still be the master. As for achievements, no matter how much money you make, it's not as good as one of your articles. Ah Heng's Please take care of the matter. I don’t dare to have any ideas, I just hope that she will be able to support herself in the future without relying on others.”

Cai Yan was a little surprised. "You don't want Ah Heng to enter the palace?"

In her opinion, the emperor asked Yuan Heng to follow her to learn the rituals, which was the harbinger of letting Yuan Heng enter the palace, and this was the biggest goal of Yuan Quan's westward journey.After so much hard work, I have finally taken a substantial step forward, which is gratifying.Even if Yuan Quan has a city mansion, his emotions and anger are not visible, there is no need to hide it in front of her.

Could it be that Yuan Quan's mind has changed?

"It's not something I want to do, let it take its course." Yuan Quan shook his head. "The Son of Heaven wants to do a big business, so even if we can't help him, we can't cause trouble. If Ah Heng can support himself, it doesn't matter whether he enters the palace or not."

Yuan Quan turned around and stroked Yuan Heng's head. "Compared to marrying into the palace, it is more important to have a husband who loves her and loves her."

Cai Yan's eyes flickered slightly, but he hesitated to speak.

Yuan Quan looked back at Cai Yan, and smiled again: "It's you, since you can't let go, just take the initiative and don't miss the good time."

Cai Yan blushed, and then spat. "Ah Heng, what are you talking about. You hurry up, don't delay your mission. From today on, Ah Heng will live with me and be my companion. Don't worry."

Yuan Quan thanked him with a smile and got up to leave.

Cai Yan and Yuan Heng sent Yuan Quan out the door, watched Yuan Quan get into the car and gradually moved away, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he sighed faintly.Yuan Heng raised his head, looked at Cai Yan, and said softly, "Sister, is the person you like the Son of Heaven?"

Cai Yan lowered his head and looked at Yuan Heng. "Who told you? Was it your sister?"

Yuan Heng shook his head. "She never said these things. But there are so many men in the world, and there are many who have a heart for your sister, but you are not even interested in taking a look at your sister. I think the only one is the emperor."

"Little clever ghost." Cai Yan pointed and flicked Yuan Heng's forehead.There was no secret between them. Yuan Quan had already noticed that she fell in love with the emperor. "But what's the use of my liking, this matter is not up to me."

"I think the Son of Heaven likes you too." Yuan Heng rubbed his forehead and blinked. "It's just that he has too many scruples and dare not be distracted."

Cai Yan joked, "You know a lot."

"I'm a bystander."

Cai Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled without saying a word.

-

Ma Yunlu walked into the front hall of Weiyang Palace quickly, and saw the emperor walking down the steps, with one hand behind his back and the other stroking his forehead, as if thinking about it, he quickly slowed down his pace.

All the Lang officials on duty knew her and saluted her, but no one dared to leave their posts without authorization.

Ma Yunlu stood on the porch, looking at the emperor walking in the courtyard, he was fascinated for a while.

I haven't seen him for a few days, but the Son of Heaven seems to have grown taller, stronger, and fairer-skinned.But the introverted heroic spirit became more and more intense, and under the energetic face was a mature and even vicissitudes of heart.

On his shoulders is the 400-year history of the great man, the future of China's clothes, and the hope of tens of millions of people.

The sky will send a great responsibility to the people, who else can give up him?

But what about me?what do I do?

Just when Ma Yunlu was in a trance, Liu Xie raised his head and saw Ma Yunlu who was looking straight at him, and couldn't help smiling.He raised his hand, but Ma Yunlu remained in a daze, motionless.It was Lang Guan who reminded her that she woke up suddenly and blushed.

She quickly came to Liu Xie, bowed her hands and saluted. "Your Majesty, I'm ready to go, and I'm here to say goodbye."

Liu Xie looked at Ma Yunlu's face, which was red to the ears, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. "Be careful on the road, I will wait for your safe return."

"Wei." Ma Yunlu responded habitually, and then realized that the emperor's words were different from usual.Her heart beat faster, she mustered up her courage, and looked up at Liu Xie, who was looking at Liu Xie, flustered for a moment, wanted to move her eyes away, but couldn't bear it.

"Your Majesty...wait for my return?"

Liu Xie nodded. "I wanted to wait for you to establish a career before discussing other things. Looking at it now, I am afraid that the spring will not wait for anyone. I went to Shandong to have a look, and my wish was forgotten. After returning, I changed the armed forces into red ones. How about it?"

Ma Yunlu heard it clearly, but he couldn't believe his ears, he just stared at Liu Xie blankly.

Liu Xie raised his eyebrows lightly. "Reluctant?"

"Ah... ah." Ma Yunlu felt as if he had just woken up from a dream, so embarrassed that he couldn't bear it, and wished he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.She gave a hasty salute, turned around and left, her steps hurried, as if fleeing.After walking two steps, he felt impolite again, and turned to look at Liu Xie with an embarrassed expression.

Liu Xie smiled and waved her hand, signaling that she needn't be formal and went to work quickly.

Feeling relieved, Ma Yunlu took a big step and rushed out of the Golden Horse Gate.

Ten female knights were waiting outside the palace gate. Seeing Ma Yunlu rushing out, a female knight stepped forward and handed over the reins.

Ma Yunlu got on his horse and shouted repeatedly: "Let's go, let's go."

The female knights were astonished, and even Yuan Quan in the car was a little puzzled. He lifted the curtain of the car and saw that Ma Yunlu's face was flushed, but his eyes couldn't hide his joy. When he rolled his eyes, he smiled knowingly.

The female knights were not as reserved as Yuan Quan. While getting on their horses, they chirped and asked, "Captain, is this a reward from His Majesty?"

Ma Yunlu said angrily: "What are you thinking? What merits have you made, and Chang'an City has not yet come out, so you want to reward it?"

"Since there is no reward, why is the governor so happy?" A blond female knight tilted her head and looked at Ma Yundu. "Could it be that this reward is only given to the governor alone, not for us?"

Ma Yunlu's eyes widened, and he was about to scold, when the words came to his lips, he said again: "Oh, you are right, it is only for me, and you have no share. Not only do you have no share, but you have to share Members. Don't blame me for not reminding you, no one is allowed to be less."

The female knights immediately understood and cheered in unison.

"Congratulations Commander, your wish has come true."

There are many pedestrians on the street. Seeing this group of female knights already feels seductive, and many people stop to admire them.Hearing their cheers, I feel that they are youthful and cute, so I can't help but nod again and again.

Seeing this, Ma Yunlu felt even more joyful in his heart, as if everyone in Chang'an City were happy for her.

Chapter 652

The news of Yuan Quan's mission to Shandong immediately attracted the attention of courtiers.

This incident was very sudden, and the emperor did not disclose it in advance, nor did he explain it afterwards, but the timing of this incident was so coincidental that it cannot but lead to speculation.

Yuan Shu ambushed Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang, and confiscated the Lujiang rich family who was attached to Yuan Shao to Chang'an, and wanted to spend their land in Lujiang. This matter has not yet come to a conclusion, but the emperor sent Yuan Shu's daughter Yuan Quan as an envoy to Shandong. Obviously no coincidence.

Under the attention of many people, the news that Yuan Heng was ordered to follow Cai Yan to learn the etiquette soon surfaced.

After hearing this news, many people understood what the emperor meant.

Regardless of the final specific results, the emperor is generally satisfied with Yuan Shu's actions.

This is a matter of attitude and direction, and there is little room for discussion.

This made many veterans worried.

There are two main concerns for them: one is whether Yuan Shu will get angry and mess around.The second is that Dutian will lead to chaos in Shandong, and the previous efforts will be in vain.

The latter worry is nothing to discuss.

Although the emperor didn't say anything, the experience of Hedong is in advance. It is well known that the emperor wants to take advantage of the opportunity to suppress the rebellion to cleanse the big clan in Shandong, and the people of Bingliang also want to follow suit. Zhuzhou carried out some open and aboveboard robbery.

Shandong people do not want to see this scene, but they have no reason to directly object.

Suppressing mergers and strengthening the weak branches have always been the core concepts of Confucianism, which is as important as not competing with the people for profit.

Even if he opposed Emperor Guangwu's Dutian at the beginning, it was secretly obstructing the destruction, and no one dared to oppose it face to face.

Today, the Son of Heaven is armed with elite soldiers, young and energetic, and his methods are much more ruthless than the Confucian Emperor Guangwu.It really annoyed him, and it is not ruled out that in a fit of anger, he would burn everything and destroy Shandong Prefecture by force.

So the reason for everyone's opposition is focused on Yuan Shu.

It is recognized that Yuan Shu is a dude, not enough to succeed, but more to fail.Even if he is doing right now, it doesn't mean he will be able to do well in the future.It is unreliable for him to preside over Dutian.

At this moment, Qiao Rui escorted a group of captives to Chang'an, giving the veterans more motivation and more sufficient reasons.

Qiao Rui brought dozens of patriarchs of the Lujiang clan.

These people usually have no worries about food and clothing, but now they are sitting in a sill car all the way from the Lujiang River to this point, with only half of their lives left, which seems to make people feel distressed.Many people felt the same way, remembering the miserable life when the emperor moved to the west and returned to the east, they ran to Liu Xie and wept bitterly, remembering the bitterness and sweetness, begging Liu Xie to cherish the present peace and not to start the war lightly.

Qiao Rui also brought her family members, including a pair of beautiful daughters, one thirteen and one twelve.

Needless to say, this must be a crooked idea that Yuan Shu came up with.

Who does he regard the emperor as?Do you think the Son of Heaven is as lustful as him?How can such a drunkard be given such a heavy responsibility?Saving the land is a major event, entrusted to no one, and it will cause endless disasters.

All of a sudden, all kinds of accusations rained down on Yuan Shu, and everyone spoke in unison, wishing to scold Yuan Shu to death.

If tongue could kill, Yuan Shu would have died thousands of times.

Under such circumstances, even Liu Xie couldn't just excuse Yuan Shu directly, or he would have been hit by Yuan Shu's sugar-coated bullets, and was stunned by the pair of sisters who hadn't bloomed yet.

Soon, Zhou Zhong, the doctor of Guanglu who was in Wujun, also sent an urgent document.He did not intercede for the Lujiang clan, nor did he directly object to spending the land in Lujiang, but he strongly opposed Yuan Shu's presiding over the matter.

He started from the absurdity of Yuan Shu when he was young, and continued until he ruled the same city with Yuan Shu in Shouchun not long ago, and listed all kinds of unreliable things about Yuan Shu. Can you afford such an important task as Du Tian?

After this incident, Liu Xie also felt that Yuan Shu was unreliable, and his actions were too simple and rude.

Therefore, he made a concession and decided to transfer Yuan Shu away from Yangzhou.

After a serious and intense "discussion", Liu Xie finally made a decision to transfer Yuan Shu to Youzhou Mu.

Compared with Yangzhou, Youzhou is farther and poorer.Yuan Shu's transition from Yangzhou Mu to Youzhou Mu seems to be a mediocre move, but in fact he moved from the left, which can be regarded as a kind of punishment, and it can be regarded as appeasement of some people's grievances.

After dealing with Yuan Shu, another issue was raised immediately.

Who will take over Yangzhou Mu?

Everyone discussed and discussed, and mentioned several candidates, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it cannot be approved by the vast majority of people.

-

In the south of the city, the former site of Taixue.

Zhao Qi sat under the shade of a tree, fanning the wind with his sleeve.Although he is in good health, he is old after all.In order to investigate whether there is a possibility of repairing Taixue, he has been running around for the past few days, exhausting his physical strength.

"Gongtai, sit down for a while." Zhao Qi said.

"Here." Chen Gong agreed, but didn't sit down, leaning on a big tree, looking at Nanshan in the distance in a trance.

"Gongtai, what are you thinking?"

"Seeing the ruins of Taixue, I suddenly felt a little emotional." Chen Gong turned his head, looked at Zhao Qi, poured a bowl of water and handed it over. "It's been more than three hundred years since Dong Zhongshu suggested the establishment of Taixue. Who would have thought that Confucianism would come to where it is today? It can be seen that the master is right. Too much is too late. Reading is a good thing, but too many scholars may also be troublesome. "

"What are you talking about?" Zhao Qi said dissatisfiedly: "Let's not talk about how to understand the words of the saints. Today's people emphasize education and want to make everyone in the world be able to read and understand. Why do you think there are too many scholars? In my opinion, virtue To moisten the body and enrich the house, the more scholars there are, the better. Look at those Xiliang soldiers, they were all as vulgar as beasts, and wherever they went, they were flying like dogs, and after reading, they even spoke in a softer voice."

"I'm not saying that reading is bad." Chen Gong quickly explained. "It is good to study to cultivate morality, but how many people study to cultivate morality? Most of the [-] Taixue students study for official careers. Once reading cannot make them enter official positions, they will abandon the words of sages." Such as bad shoes, how can there be a heart of virtue. There is a saying in Shandong that calls for a scholar who does not know the book, and it refers to this kind of person.”
