"Wealth and wealth are sought in danger." Ma Yunlu leaned on Liu Xie's shoulder. "There is nothing more dangerous than charging into battle."

Liu Xie frowned slightly, but stopped talking.

In his view, it is dangerous to charge forward, but it is also dangerous to have obsessions in your heart.Fortunately, Ma Yunlu's obsession is just to have a smart child, not to fight for the heir, otherwise he should really persuade her not to try.

Breathing is also dangerous.

After washing his feet and changing his clothes, Liu Xie went to bed and lay down.Ma Yunlu also got into bed, lying on his side beside Liu Xie, looking at Liu Xie with burning eyes.

Liu Xie was a little sleepy at first, but after being looked at by her like this, he regained his energy and turned to look at her.

"Anything else?"

Things have been bothering him recently, and he hasn't exercised for a long time.

Ma Yunlu covered his face with his hands. "I... I just learned something new, Your Majesty... Do you want to test it?"

"It is necessary." Liu Xie stood up. "The master said it all, it's a joy to learn and practice it from time to time."

-

Yin and Yang interact with each other, and heaven and earth are in harmony.

Liu Xie had a rare good night's sleep, and when he woke up the next day, he felt refreshed.

At the end of the morning exercise in the side hall, he was sweating a little, and took another bath. Liu Xie came to Qingliang Hall early after eating the breakfast carefully prepared by Ma Yunlu.

Pang Tong was already waiting, talking to his attendant Yuan Yao.

Seeing Yuan Yao, Liu Xie was somewhat surprised.

Yuan Yao is completely different from Huang Yi, Yuan Quan and his wife, he is a resolute lay-down faction.After entering the court, he worked as a servant, except for the necessary meetings, he almost never showed up.Even if you attend a meeting, you just keep your eyes and ears on, and don't say a word unless it is absolutely necessary.

He came to wait in the palace so early, is this the sun coming out from the west?

"So early?"

"Your Majesty." Pang Tong and Yuan Yao hurried over to salute.

"What happened?" Liu Xie looked at Yuan Yao.

Yuan Yao didn't say anything, just looked at Pang Tong.Pang Tong turned around and took a letter from the case, and handed it to Liu Xie with both hands.Liu Xie glanced at it, seeing that it was Yuan Shu's letter to Yuan Yao's family, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"What did you write?"

"Some things happened after Youzhou Mu took office." Pang Tong said: "The matter is related to Yuan Tan. Youzhou Mu asked Yuan Shizhong to inquire about Li Zan's entry into the court. I hope Li Zan can come forward, get in touch with Yuan Tan, and persuade Yuan Tan. Abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and serve the court."

"Are Youzhou Mu and Yuan Tan very close?"

Yuan Yao bowed and said: "I heard from my father that when Yuan Tan was five years old, his grandfather Li Ying died in prison due to party affairs. His mother was too sad and bedridden, unable to take care of her. My father taught me more. "

Liu Xie was surprised. "Where was Yuan Shao at that time?"

"Mourning in Runan."

Liu Xie suddenly remembered.When Yuan Shao was young, there was a widely spread righteous deed, which was to follow his father's funeral.His nominal father, Yuan Cheng, died early, and he was not yet alive at that time, so naturally he could not be said to be in mourning.In order to make up for this ceremony, he followed Yuan Cheng for another three years.

Including the three years of mourning for the birth mother, a total of six years.

It seems that this is a matter of filial piety.In fact, Yuan Shao did this to avoid disaster, to avoid the disaster of the second party imprisonment.

Li Ying, as the leader of the party, did not die in the first party prison - almost no one was killed in the first party prison, and Emperor Han Huan handled it very restrained - but the second time.

Liu Xie rolled his eyes. "What year was Yuan Xi born?"

Yuan Yao blinked. "It should be... the fourth year of Jianning."

Liu Xie calculated silently in his heart, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and without saying anything, he opened the letter and read it, then sighed secretly.

It was right to let Yuan Shu go to Youzhou.What can this guy do? No. 1 challenge.

He actually said that Yuan Tan wanted to kill his relatives righteously, so he abandoned the dark and turned to the bright.

Although Yuan Tan made such a decision not entirely because of Yuan Shu's instigation, but also because of the influence brought by Li Zan's entry into the court, and the Ruying faction's secret collusion, but without Yuan Shu's coming forward and playing the family card, this matter would not have happened. so smooth.

"Very good." Liu Xie returned the letter to Yuan Yao. "Let Jun Li come tomorrow to discuss this matter."

Chapter 708

After Yuan Yao left, Liu Xie paced back and forth in the hall for a while, and then asked Pang Tong to dig out all the official documents related to Jizhou, read them through again, and make a comprehensive arrangement.

The development of the situation after Yuan Shao withdrew his troops seriously deviated from the actual expectations. It is time to consider whether it is still necessary to continue to implement the plan drawn up before, and whether it is possible to achieve the goal.

When Tian Feng was forced to retire and the whereabouts of Jushou was unknown, the people of Jizhou still focused on trial and assignment, hoping to continue to control the power mainly based on military power, but they were obviously unable to do what they wanted.

So Yuan Tan and the Ruying people around him are ready to move again.

But he doesn't want that.

It is certainly a good thing for Yuan Tan to join the imperial court, but the combination of Ruying people will only create greater resistance in the imperial court.

Especially those Ruying people who are older and stubborn in Guo Tu, it is almost impossible to change their minds, and it is even more unrealistic to ask them to give up their interests.Only by defeating them on the battlefield can the problem be completely solved.

The fewer examples like Zhou Zhong, the better, because the imperial court doesn't have so many officials to deal with them.

Before Pang Tong finished tidying up, Zhuge Liang also came.

He obviously didn't sleep well yesterday, his eyes were darkened, and he was not in a good mood.

"I slept so late yesterday, why didn't I take a longer rest?" Liu Xie said.

Zhuge Liang smiled. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I'm fine. I heard your Majesty discuss with Yu Fan yesterday. It's like drinking alcohol. I'm just hungover."

Liu Xie laughed, said nothing, and signaled Zhuge Liang to help Pang Tong.

Pang Tong explained the purpose of sorting out the official documents, and then asked, "What did Yu Fan say yesterday that made you so excited?"

"It's so broad and profound that it's hard to describe it in one word. It's better to look back at the minutes."

Pang Tong was surprised.

Minutes are usually only available for meetings, and the emperor's meeting with ministers is generally only recorded in the daily notes.When Yu Fan met with the Son of Heaven, there was actually a minutes. It seems that what they discussed was really as broad and profound as Zhuge Liang said, and could not be explained clearly in a few simple words.

Yu Fan is middle-aged, so there is reason to be knowledgeable.

Can the Son of Heaven keep up with Yu Fan's rhythm?

In Pang Tong's view, the Son of Heaven is indeed smart, but in terms of learning, the Son of Heaven is at most a beginner, far from profound.

Pang Tong could no longer restrain his curiosity.If it wasn't for the Son of Heaven right in front of him, he wished he could drop what he was doing and let Zhuge Liang make it clear first.

Zhuge Liang could understand Pang Tong's mood, but he was more shocked than Pang Tong.

Because Yu Fan told him that the learning that was really talked about last night was just a part of the learning of the Son of Heaven.The emperor's knowledge is unfathomable, far beyond their imagination.

Zhuge Liang was skeptical.

But his suspicion was just wondering if Yu Fan was exaggerating.He is not surprised that the emperor's knowledge is extensive.

After all, the Son of Heaven has never studied "Yi" specifically, but he was able to talk speculatively with everyone who studied Yi like Yu Fan, because he saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears.

He came so early because he didn't want to miss Yu Fan's conversation with the emperor.

Before the end of yesterday, the Son of Heaven gave Yu Fan a picture and said a formula to ask Yu Fan to go back and study.He really wanted to know if Yu Fan had realized it, and what he had realized.

The two chatted softly while sorting out the paperwork.They are all people with excellent memory. After a while, they gathered the relevant documents and placed them in front of Liu Xie by category.

As Liu Xie flipped through it, he connected different sources of information in his mind.

Suddenly, he saw a very inconspicuous official document, which was a list of officials sent by Sun Rui, a lieutenant in the Northern Army, in which appeared a name that he thought had disappeared.

Ju grant.

There are seven officials in the middle of the Northern Army, who can remove them by themselves without reporting.

However, a man like Jushou appeared in the Northern Army and became an official of the Beigong Zhonghou, and Shi Sunrui did not write a letter saying that as long as he mentioned it in this corner, is it too much?

Liu Xie knocked on the case table and pointed out Jushou's name to Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

After reading it, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were a little puzzled.

"What's wrong with this Jushou?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"Do you think there is no problem?" Liu Xie asked back: "He was once one of Yuan Shao's schemers, and he even commanded an army."

"I haven't heard of any record he has."

"..." Liu Xie was speechless.

He realized that Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong's understanding of Jushou was limited, far less than his understanding of Jushou's weight.

But how could Shi Sun Rui not know?

In all likelihood, it has something to do with Ju Jun.

"Your Majesty, if this person is really as your Majesty said, staying in Taiyuan would be a good choice." Pang Tong cautiously reminded: "In the future, the Northern Army will march into Jizhou, this person will be of great use."

Liu Xie's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Shi Sun Rui had this idea?

The veterans have always wanted to take back their military power and become a real captain, and Shi Sun Rui is the most promising one.But Shi Sunrui had no decent military exploits except for his meritorious service in the battle of Huayin. On the contrary, he made a principled mistake when he suppressed the rebellion in Hedong, and even Wei Wei was beaten.

Putting down Jizhou may be his last chance, and it seems understandable to leave Jushou as the mastermind.

In all fairness, although Ju Shou used to be Yuan Shao's think tank, his role now is very limited, far inferior to Tian Feng and Shen Pei.He voluntarily left Yuan Shao and joined Ju Jun, and gained the trust of Shi Sun Rui, so there was no problem.

If you have to go online, there are too many people with problems.

Including Cao Cao was once a vassal of Yuan Shao.

Liu Xie tried his best to calm himself down and be less affected by the original history, but he still felt a little angry.

This dualism between monarch and minister is too abominable, there is too much room for ministers to act on their own, and His Majesty the Emperor was accidentally fooled.

Liu Xie really wanted to make some reforms to strengthen the imperial power, but when he saw Zhuge Liang in front of him, he hesitated again.

With the current technical conditions, it is obviously unrealistic for the emperor to want to be omniscient.If you have to be an emperor like Qin Shihuang, with great power in your hands, and handle all affairs by yourself, there is a high probability that you will die young in the end.

My task is first and foremost to live long.

Only by living long can he grasp the direction and let history develop in the direction he wants, and there is no rush.

A small leak will sink a great ship.

But this tone can't just be endured like this, otherwise these old ministers will be even more presumptuous in the future.

Liu Xie thought for a long time, and asked Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong to check Sun Meng's name.

If Shisun Meng had already left Xiangyang and did not appear in Chang'an, there is a high probability that he went to Taiyuan and joined Shisun Rui.

If this is the case, Nashi Sun Meng is likely to be the same as Ju Shou, whose name has already appeared in the official document, but it is an inconspicuous corner.

This time, it didn't take much time, Zhuge Liang quickly found an official document and found Shisun Meng's name.

But it was not the documents of the Northern Army Zhonghou, but the documents of Yin Xunyu of Hedong and Zhong Yao, the prefect of Shangdang.

In addition to the scholar Sun Meng, Zhuge Liang also found several familiar names, all of whom were scholars who had taken refuge in Xiangyang, including Wang Can.

Chapter 709 Yu Fan Enlightened

Seeing these familiar names, Liu Xie was puzzled.

These people left Xiangyang, why didn't they come to Chang'an?It is understandable to go to Hedong. Why do some people prefer to go to Shangdang?

One or two can still be said to be personal friendship, so many, it cannot be explained by personal friendship.

Liu Xie had a headache again.

He reckoned that there must not be one or two similar incidents, nor is it just today.If it wasn't for his whim, he would have been kept in the dark if he wanted to find out where Shisun Rui's son Shisun Meng was.

Even if he is diligent, he will read every official document, and he will not read every list.

And there are many people, even if the names are in front of him, he may not know who he is related to and what kind of background he has.

It's too easy for the minister to fool him.

The key is that this is still in line with the rules, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong don't think there is anything wrong.

Officials at all levels have different powers of removal, which is the system of the imperial court.If this system is to be moved, it is the interests of all officials that are to be moved.

Now is not the time, Liu Xie warned himself again.

We must pay close attention to the reconstruction of Taixue, and we must firmly grasp it in our own hands.
