Han Dao world

Liu Bei hastily held him back, and made Fazheng give up his idea of ​​returning to Chang'an immediately.

Two days later, news of Yuan Xi's withdrawal came and he retreated to Ju County.

Fazheng looked up to the sky and sighed.

The opportunity to expand the results of the war has been missed. Liu Bei wants to regain Langya, but he doesn't know when he will have to wait.

Liu Bei was also very depressed, and took Fazheng to Kaiyang to relax.

Chapter 731

When Zhuge Liang took the document and walked quickly to the gate of Jiaofang Hall, Liu Xie was talking to the Empress Fushou, smiling and warm.

Fu Shou is in a good mood.

Six months pregnant, with the careful care of the imperial physician and the company of Xun Wenqian, she is in very good condition.

Especially when both parents came to Chang'an, Fu Wan served as a sacrificial wine in the "Shangshu" in Taixue, and gave lectures on family knowledge.Mother is fine for the time being, and she goes to the palace every now and then to accompany her. Brothers and sisters have made good arrangements, and she lives very comfortably.

What satisfied her the most was that no matter how busy the emperor was, he would always find time to come to Jiaofangdian.Even if you just say a few words and leave, you won't not show up for a few days.

Under the demonstration of the emperor, none of the nobles dared to neglect her.As long as he was in the palace, he would come to greet her every day, talk to her, and get along fairly well.

The only regret is that Hua Tuo predicted a rollover last time, and now he dare not easily say whether it is a man or a woman.

Although he didn't say anything, Fushou still hoped to have a son.

As soon as the emperor is about to turn twenty, he should have an heir.

Second, after Ma Yunlu enters the palace, she may become pregnant at any time.Ma Yunlu is different from Xun Wenqian, she has the Liangzhou army behind her.If she, as a queen, has never been able to give birth to a son, but Ma Yunlu has a son, it is hard to guarantee that Liangzhou people will not have ideas.

There is one last problem.Dong Wan and Song Du have also reached the age of childbearing, and will return to Chang'an soon, and her competitors suddenly increase.

As long as she can give birth to the emperor's son, all these worries will be gone.

Letting Qiao Rui's two daughters into the Jiaofang Palace as maids is to some extent prepared for any danger.

Although the emperor refused to accept them into the palace, he still liked them.

Men, how many can refuse national beauty.

"Your Majesty, there is another official business here, so don't accompany me." Seeing Zhuge Liang, Fushou said proactively, "Snacks will be ready later, I'll send someone to deliver them."

Liu Xie agreed with a smile, got up and left the table.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang stopped at the door.

He and Fushou are both from Langya. Many people said that his trust by the emperor had something to do with the empress, so they usually pay special attention to keeping a distance.If it weren't for the special circumstances today, he wouldn't even come to Jiaofang Hall.

"What's the matter?" Liu Xie stepped out of the hall and asked softly.

"The situation in Jizhou and Xuzhou has changed, and they are somewhat related."

After hearing what Zhuge Liang had said, Liu Xie didn't say a word, walked all the way to Qingliang Hall, took his seat, unfolded the map and looked at it for a while, then chuckled lightly.

"These people are really aggressive. When no one is fighting, they fight against themselves."

Seeing Liu Xie's disapproving expression, Zhuge Liang reminded: "Your Majesty, according to Xuzhou's progress, I'm afraid we won't be able to enter Liaodong this year."

Liu Xie glanced at Zhuge Liang. "Is Liaodong still able to fly?"

"That's not going to happen." Zhuge Liang also smiled.

"Since you can't fly anymore, there's nothing to worry about. It doesn't make any difference if it's one year earlier or one year later." Liu Xie leaned on the proof table and used his hands to pay for it. "I would like to go slower. If you go too fast, it may not be a good thing."

Zhuge Liang's expression remained unchanged, but he felt a little helpless in his heart.

He followed Liu Xie every day, and naturally knew that Liu Xie's biggest dissatisfaction with the current situation was that Yuan Shao withdrew too quickly.If you can play for a few more years, Dutian may not be so difficult.

The situation in Xuzhou and Jizhou is exactly what Liu Xie wanted.

But the problem is that Langya is his hometown, and the place where Liu Bei is stationed now is Yangdu.During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yangdu suffered a disaster.After a few more years of fighting, Yang will be disabled.

"Worried about your hometown?" Liu Xie didn't hear Zhuge Liang's response, so he glanced at him, seeing his worried expression, and immediately understood the reason.

Zhuge Liang was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Yes."

"Then don't be in a hurry." Liu Xie smiled. "If there is no accident, the battle between Liu Bei and Yuan Xi is no longer on the battlefield, but on the hearts of the people. Who will your relatives and friends support?"

Zhuge Liang blurted out without hesitation. "My brother is at Liu Shijun's place, so the clan naturally supports Liu Shijun."

"I hope so." Liu Xie smiled and did not continue this topic.

He knew that Zhugejin was under Liu Bei's command, but Zhugejin was not Liu Bei's direct subordinate, but Chen Deng's.Whether it was intentional or a coincidence is hard to say.

He prefers to believe that it is a response of the same voice, seeking the same spirit.

Some things have inertia, and they cannot be changed if they want to.

Xuzhou scholar-bureaucrats are standing in line intentionally or unintentionally, and those who really support Liu Bei, or those who support the imperial court, do not account for the majority.

In fact, not only Xuzhou, but the whole Shandong.

After Zhou Zhong became Sikong, his first decision was to remove Zhang Zhao as an official, and he was the chief historian of Sikong.

Liu Xie didn't think that Zhang Zhao was qualified to be the chief minister of Sikong, but he didn't veto it.This is the balance between the monarch and his ministers. Zhou Zhong suggested that as long as it is not too much, he will not veto it.When the final results came out, Zhou Zhong naturally knew what to do.

He had in mind a more suitable candidate for Chief Sikong than Zhang Zhao, but he didn't say anything.

"What has Yu Jijiu been up to these two days? I haven't seen him for a few days."

"Several craftsmen in the Hegong School are studying trebuchets."

"Tabuchet?"

"Last time, he went to see the trebuchet and said it was too simple and there was a lot of room for optimization, so he took the initiative to take over the matter. He has been experimenting for the past two days, and it seems that there are some errors between the calculated results and the actual results. There is no reason yet.”

Liu Xie's eyes flickered slightly, and there was something strange in his heart.

Sure enough, war is the first driving force of science and technology?

"There will be a lecture in a few months, isn't he going to participate?"

Zhuge Liang suppressed a smile. "He said he had nothing to say to those people."

"You think so too?"

"I'm not as confident as Lord Yu." Zhuge Liang shook his head again and again. "My minister's understanding is not enough. It is not easy to draw inferences from one instance to another. Only such a genius can do inferences from one instance."

"It's because your mind is not on that." Liu Xie directly pointed out Zhuge Liang's modesty.

As far as IQ is concerned, Zhuge Liang is not weaker than Yu Fan, and it can even be said that he is not weaker than anyone in this era.His problem is perfectionism, no matter what, either don't do it, or do it to the extreme.

In fact, his personality is most suitable for learning or technology, but he is not suitable for politics.

A perfectionist can't be the top leader in politics, otherwise he will only exhaust himself to death.

But the problem is that Zhuge Liang's greatest interest is politics.

This is the responsibility of Confucian scholar-bureaucrats. If you are good at learning, you will be an official, and if you are good, you will benefit the world.

Therefore, while cultivating Zhuge Liang, Liu Xie also had to find Zhuge Liang's successor.If there is no accident, Zhuge Liang will definitely die before him, and it is impossible to accompany him to the end.

It's just that he won't be able to find such a person for a while.

Jiang Wei definitely couldn't do it.

Fortunately, there is no need to rush this matter, and it will be fine to wait another 20 years.

"Your Majesty has been praised, but I don't dare to do it. I speak the truth, and his understanding is indeed very human. Forgive me for the inappropriate introduction. Perhaps only Your Majesty can compare with him."

Zhuge Liang paused, and then said: "This is not just the minister's idea, everyone else thinks the same way."

Liu Xie was helpless. "I'm just an ordinary person, I will make mistakes, and when I can't do it, don't force me to be a saint. If I say too much and take it seriously, it is not a blessing for the country."

Chapter 732

Those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are wise.

Liu Xie's two lives are somewhat self-aware.He is not a saint, but just an open traveler.Without the accumulation of 2000 years of history, he would not even be as good as Liu Xie, who was regarded as a puppet by later generations.

Liu Xie himself can support a dying dynasty for more than 20 years, but he can't get ahead in a big unit.

Apart from the cheating bonus, his only advantage is his sobriety, knowing what kind of onion he is, and there is no need to compete with the leaders of this era, so as not to humiliate himself.

For example, discussing Confucian classics with them, nine times out of ten I will be hanged and beaten.

Fortunately, the study of Confucian classics is actually useless except for blowing water, and whether you are proficient in Confucian classics has no substantial impact on the realization of the kingly way.

Serving the people is the kingly way.

This is a real dimensionality reduction hit.

"An expert once said that there are two kinds of people that are most frightening: one is a scholar who has faith, and the other is a farmer who takes up arms. How to turn these two forces into a beneficial force instead of a destructive force is My only goal."

Liu Xie stood up, walked out, stood on the porch, looked at the mountains in the distance, and shook his head slowly.

"I'm not interested in being a saint." He pointed to the snow-covered mountain top. "It's unbearably cold at high places, invincible is too lonely."

Zhuge Liang followed, followed Liu Xie's hand and glanced into the distance, thoughtfully.

The monarch and his subjects stood for a moment, enjoying the rare silence.

After a while, Liu Xie turned to look at Zhuge Liang. "How is the preparation of the printing workshop going?"

Zhuge Liang came back to his senses. "The Yinfang is almost ready, and the fonts are being engraved, but it is a bit troublesome to determine the main writer."

Liu Xie's eyes flashed. "Kong Wenju refuses?"

The lecture was coming soon, and he planned to publish a summary of the daily lectures and publish it in time, so he specially transferred craftsmen and management personnel from Hedong Bookstore, and planned to propose a printing workshop in Chang'an.

In order to print quickly, he also spent a lot of effort and decided to use movable type printing.

Kong Rong is his favorite chief writer. He has literary talents and can curse people. He is simply the most suitable news commentator.

Two days ago, I sent someone to invite me. I thought Kong Rong would readily agree, but I didn't expect Kong Rong to refuse.

Zhuge Liang smiled. "He said that all the lecturers are present at the scene, and as long as they make a record, they can be assembled in the future, and there is no need to print it immediately. Now that virtuous people from all over the world are coming to Beijing one after another, and the money is tight, it is better to save what you can."

Liu Xie couldn't help laughing. "Do you believe it?"

"Do not believe."

Liu Xie shook his head. "Give him a chance, he dare not take it, forget it. Are there other candidates?"

Zhuge Liang hesitated for a rare moment. "There are, but they may not be useful."

Liu Xie looked at Zhuge Liang puzzled.

What does it mean?

"The virtues and talents are useful, but the mind may not be compatible with His Majesty." Zhuge Liang lowered his head, avoiding Liu Xie's gaze. "Whoever is willing to speak for His Majesty may not be of good character."

Liu Xie understood. "tell me the story."

"The former Rulai Min and Xu Jing just rushed to Chang'an from Yizhou. The latter is like Lu Cui, who wrote a letter to test himself the day before yesterday. Lu Cui is a disciple of Cai Bojie. After receiving his letter, I went to ask Cai Ling Shi. Cai Lingshi didn’t think highly of him.”

Liu Xie pondered for a moment. "Get them together."

"Your Majesty means..."

"Since it is a discussion, it is natural to have different opinions. Instead of criticizing privately, it is better to put it out in the open. Who is right and wrong, leave it to future generations to say."

He paused, and then said: "You have to have confidence in the people. Even if you don't know the difference for the time being, and take some detours, you will always return to the right path in the future."

Zhuge Liangliang nodded and turned to make arrangements.

"How is Yinfang preparing? Find time to go and have a look."

"Mrs. Tang came to arrange the arrangement in person, and several noble people promoted it, and the speed was very fast."

"Madam Tang is here too?" Liu Xie was very surprised. "I do not know how?"

"Madam said that His Majesty is too busy, so there is no need to disturb His Majesty, and I will see you when the work is finished."

"Going right now."

-

Chang'an Yinfang was built in Taixue, a single courtyard, guarded by Hu Benlang outside the door.

In order to print articles in time, Liu Xie took out movable type printing.Although the printing effect is not as exquisite as engraving, the speed is beyond the reach of engraving. It is most suitable for printing articles such as mansion newspapers and current affairs reviews that require more time.

There is no doubt that this is a big killer, and it is not appropriate to announce it yet.
