Han Dao world

It is easy to send all of them to the border.

Mi Heng broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly said: "It's good to guard the border, it's good to guard the border."

"It's fine if you don't have an opinion." Liu Xie nodded. "Is there anything else you want to say?"

"It's gone, it's gone." Mi Heng waved his hands again and again, turned around and left.After walking a few steps, I remembered my reason for coming, so I couldn't help but slow down, and looked back at the emperor, seeing that the emperor was also looking at him, with fighting spirit in his eyes, he felt guilty at once, didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurried downhill.

Kong Rong could see clearly and was dumbfounded.

He had never seen Mi Heng so embarrassed.

No, I saw it two days ago.

"Zhengping, what does the emperor say?"

Mi Heng sat down with his head down. "The emperor said that Cao Cao will go to guard the border to atone for the crime of massacring the city."

Kong Rong was stunned for a moment. "That's it, it's a way. It's just..."

He pondered, and realized the problem.

The emperor didn't easily let go of Cao Cao, who held a heavy soldier, but could he let go of the Shandong scholar-bureaucrat who had no soldiers?

Dutian... is imperative.

If this is the case, how can Zhang Xi, who opposes Du Tian, ​​ask for a posthumous posthumous title?Surely the Son of Heaven could not agree.

Kong Rong held the biography manuscript in his sleeve, feeling a little headache.

I shouldn't have come today.

But what should come will come.

"Kong Lingshi, have you rested? Your Majesty, please." Cao Ang came down the slope again and bowed to Kong Rong.

Mi Heng lowered his head, unwilling to meet Cao Ang's eyes.

Kong Rong had no choice but to get up, followed Cao Ang up the hillside, and came to the emperor.

Liu Xieduan sat still.

Kong Rong is only a recorder of the Taiwei Mansion, not enough to be respected by the emperor.As for his status as a post-sage, Liu Xie didn't care much.

Even if Confucius was alive, he would not take it seriously, let alone a saint.

After the saints, there are many people who are not human.

Kong Rong felt the emperor's indifference and looked embarrassed.

After Kong Rong finished his ceremony, Liu Xie said in a calm tone, "Is it a matter for the Taiwei's mansion to ask Shi to see him, or is it a personal matter?"

Kong Rong said goodbye. "Your Majesty fell in love with me wrongly, and commissioned the biography of Zhang Jili, the old Sikong, to draft a draft. I dare you to read it over." As he spoke, he handed over the article, which was half wet with sweat.

Liu Xie took it, and didn't open it in a hurry, but stared at the paper for a while, raising his eyelids.

"Before I heard that Sikong passed away, did you meet him?"

"Yes."

"where is it?"

"Pengcheng." Kong Rong hesitated for a moment, then said, "Outside Pengcheng."

"What did you say?"

Kong Rong felt bitter in his mouth.Those who should come will come, even if you want to hide, you can't hide.

"The minister blamed his negligence for staying outside the city and failing to enter the city in time to boost morale."

"That's all?"

"That's all."

Liu Xie laughed lightly, looked down at the manuscript in his hand, was silent for a moment, and said again: "I heard that when Ling Shi was young, he once ascended Li Yuanli's Longmen."

"It is true." Kong Rong felt uneasy.

"Then are you a dragon or a fish now?" Liu Xie raised his head again, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. "Although Li Yuanli is crazy, he can still put on his armor and mount a horse after all. He has made great achievements in guarding the border. You have only walked a few miles, and you are so tired. No wonder you are fighting with the Yellow Turban. You need to ask Liu Xuande to rescue you."

Kong Rong's face was flushed, blood gushed upwards, and he couldn't hold back his anger all the time. He said loudly: "I am indeed incompetent, and I am ashamed of Li Yuanli. It's just that your majesty treats me like this, and I'm afraid it's not the way to be respectful and virtuous."

Liu Xie couldn't help smiling. "Why, you can scold Zhang Jili, but I can't scold you?"

"..." Kong Rong was at a loss for words.

Chapter 690

Don't do to others what you don't want yourself to do to yourself is the basic principle of Confucianism.

Although not everyone complies.

But if you scold others, you must bear the result of being scolded by others, there is no doubt about it.

Kong Rong thought so too.

After all, he is knowledgeable and eloquent, and he used to swear a lot.Others either can't scold him, or dare not scold him, and most of the time, they are both, so they are invincible.

But today he met the Son of Heaven.

The emperor not only dared to scold him, but also scolded him very hard, without saving any face.

Kong Rong recalled Yang Biao's evaluation, and at least agreed with half of it.

Leaving aside whether the Son of Heaven is from a strategic position, it is true that he pointed at the key point, directly questioned his character, and tore apart the past that he was least willing to mention.

Once upon a time, he also felt that he could make great achievements with his full knowledge and skills. As a result, he almost lost his life in the battle of Beihai, so he had to ask Liu Bei for help.

This is the most embarrassing thing for him, whoever mentions it is in a hurry.

In the past few years, he lived in Xuzhou, but no one was so ignorant to mention this matter in front of him.

The Son of Heaven is the first.

Not only that, the emperor also extended his ability and began to question Li Ying's theory of Longmen.Now that you have climbed the Dragon Gate and been invited by Li Ying as a guest, but you are not a dragon, you are still a fish, so is Li Ying's Dragon Gate a fraud?

If this is admitted, it will not only be Kong Rong who is humiliated, but also Li Ying, and those who are proud of being in Li Ying's door.

The scope of this blow was too wide, almost the entire Shilin at that time.

The more Kong Rong thought about it, the more nervous he became, his forehead was sweating profusely.

Cai Yan on the side looked at it, and while sympathizing with Kong Rong, he remembered what the emperor said.Once upon a time, she thought that the emperor was pretending to be big and trying to comfort her, but now she knew that the emperor was telling the truth.

When it comes to cursing, no one is a match for the emperor.

After the news spread, no one would want to scold the emperor again.

Liu Xie weighed the manuscript in his hand. "You scolded Sikong to death, and your words are sharp. Now that you are writing a biography for him, is it because your words are incomplete and written in Danqing, or do you want to say a few good things for him to make up for the past?"

"I scolded him because...he was wrong. I wrote his biography because..."

"Is it true?" Liu Xie interrupted Kong Rong directly. "Or against your will?"

Kong Rong was at a loss for words again.

"Do I still need to watch it?" Liu Xie looked at Kong Rong coldly, with sarcasm in his sharp eyes.

Kong Rong gritted his teeth and stretched out his hands. "Your Majesty, Rong Chen, please consider it again."

He really couldn't imagine how the emperor would mock him after reading his biography.

After all, a verbal dispute is a verbal dispute. As long as people in the know don't speak up, it means that this incident never happened.As the Son of Heaven, he wouldn't want to spread it everywhere.On paper, it is ironclad evidence.If it is compiled into the file by the emperor again, it will be troublesome.

It is better to endure the momentary anger and retreat for the time being.

Liu Xie put the manuscript in Kong Rong's hand, and waved his hand, indicating that Kong Rong could step back.

Kong Rong was relieved, bowed in a hurry, and went back down the slope in desperation.

"Go, go quickly." He waved repeatedly, signaling Mi Heng to leave quickly.

Mi Heng was at a loss.When he saw Kong Rong and the Son of Heaven face to face, he thought there would be a fierce battle, but he didn't expect Kong Rong to retreat so quickly, and he was so embarrassed.

"Wenju, you are..."

"Let's talk when we go back." Kong Rong felt ashamed and didn't want to stay any longer.

Mi Heng had no choice but to get up and hurried away with Kong Rong.

Cao Cao sat on the slope, looking thoughtfully at the hurried backs of Kong Rong and Mi Heng.

He saw the confrontation between the Son of Heaven and Kong Rong, and couldn't help but think of the conflict he had with Bian Rang back then.He killed Bian Rang because Bian Rang looked down on him.In a fit of rage, he killed Bian Rang, but he also paid a heavy price for it, which has had an impact to this day.

If you could deal with Bian Rang like the emperor dealt with Kong Rong back then, why did it come to this?

After all, killing a person is still a low-level vehicle. Using one's own way to treat one's body is the real victory.

"Your Majesty's debates are like using troops, and they are really brilliant." Cao Cao said convincingly.

Liu Xie shook his head. "Words are words after all, they can only be used for a while, and they can't solve practical problems. For example, Du Tian, ​​do you think they really don't understand the pros and cons of it? It's just that they are in the midst of interests, and their words and deeds are eccentric, so there are many flaws. Justify yourself."

He sighed, a little helpless. "Even if I speak sincerely and they refuse, what can the court do? They have to think otherwise and move forward step by step."

Then he laughed again. "Fortunately, they are just talking about their interests. When they really go to the battlefield, even a mob can make them completely defeated. Kong Rong is like this, and Yuan Shao is no exception."

Cao Cao was a little embarrassed.

The emperor could ignore Yuan Shao, but he couldn't.

"I heard that Yuan Shao's wife is Li Ying's daughter?"

"Yes." Cao Cao said, "However, this marriage was not decided by Li Ying himself. When we got married, Li Ying had already passed away due to the party's imprisonment. Because Yuan Shao had helped the party members, the party members then arranged for them to marry Li Ying's daughter. "

"Is that so?"

"I have a good relationship with He Yong. I heard about it from him. Xun You is closer to He Yong. He should have heard of it." Cao Cao thought for a while, and then said: "In fact, Li Zan, the son of Li Ying, is not interested in this marriage. Disagree. For so many years, Li Zan has had no contact with Yuan Shao. If your majesty wants to resolve the party affairs, you might as well enlist Li Zan to join the court."

Liu Xie turned to look at Cao Cao.

This information provided by Cao Cao is very important.

Yuan Shao is powerful because of three forces, among which the party members have the greatest moral influence.

Party members are everywhere, including in the imperial court, most of whom are from Ruying.

Xun Yu and Xun You are both party members.

How to get along with party members has always been one of the issues Liu Xie considered.With Yuan Shao, the contemporary leader of the party, although he used Xun Yu and Xun You, he did not dare to take the initiative to make concessions to the party members easily, lest the party members make progress and stir up trouble.

Creatures like party members are wonderful things that shine when given a little sunshine, and flood when given a little flood. It is very easy to go to extremes.If Chen Fan and others hadn't pushed too hard at the beginning, the party imprisonment would not have been so tragic.

If Li Ying's sons don't agree with Yuan Shao, then Yuan Shao's quality as a party leader is somewhat lacking.

"Where is Li Zan?"

"Always in Yingchuan's hometown."

Liu Xie turned around to ask someone to write it down, and turned around to discuss it with Xun Yu.

Matters related to party members should not be taken lightly.

"What does Cao Qing think of the party members?" Liu Xie made a joke. "You straddle the two parties, and you must feel more deeply than others."

Cao Cao looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.

Liu Xie said again: "By the way, Cai Lingshi has just finished the "Biography of the Eunuch", and Lingzu Fei Tinghou (Cao Teng) is the one who entered the biography. Do you want to see it first?"

Cao Cao was stunned, and turned to look at Cai Yan who was beside him.

Cai Yan nodded. "Although Fei Tinghou is an eunuch, he is devoted to his duties, and he is a virtuous and capable man, so he should be passed down."

Surprised and delighted, Cao Cao fell to the ground. "Thank you Your Majesty, thank you Lingshi."

"You're welcome, it's just straight forward."

Cao Cao wept. "Your Majesty, I have been in the name of the eunuch party for 40 years. How can anyone be willing to speak out? The word "eunuch vertical" is a label attached to the minister, and everyone avoids it."

Chapter 691 Turn of the Times

Cai Yan did not bring the manuscript, but she had a good memory and recited it to Cao Cao verbatim.

Cao Cao listened on his knees.

Cai Yan couldn't bear it.Cao Cao has a good relationship with her father, Cai Yong, half teacher and half friend. To some extent, Cao Cao is considered half of her elders. She can't bear Cao Cao's respect.
