Han Dao world

Jia Xu also opened up the chatterbox.

Since someone proposed to establish the capital, there have been supporters for various plans, but he feels that these plans all have one thing in common: their eyes are limited to the Central Plains, and they are not broad enough.

Not to mention the Western Regions that have been included in the conquest targets, even the states within the current territory of the Han Dynasty cannot be taken into account.

Regardless of whether it is Chang'an or Luoyang, the area that can really be controlled is actually only within the Great Wall and north of Wuling.The Youyan Dufu Mansion, the Yanran Duhu Mansion, and the rebuilt Zhongshan Kingdom that the emperor focused on are not among them.In the future, when Sun Ce goes out to conquer the sea, there is a high probability that he will become a vassal state beyond his reach, free from the effective control of the imperial court.

This obviously cannot adapt to the current situation, nor can it meet the needs of the future.

Because, Jia Xu suggested maintaining the hunting patrol system and building two capitals of movement and movement.

The static capital is responsible for the handling of daily government affairs, while the dynamic capital patrols the world, especially the inspection of military forces in various places, and also has the function of supervision.

As for whether it is the emperor's inspection, the prince guarding the country, or the emperor guarding the country and the prince's inspection, it can be allowed according to the actual situation.For example, when the prince was young, he should guard the country and study government affairs with the three princes, while the emperor in his prime should patrol the world.When the prince is older and has a certain amount of experience, he will go to various places for apprenticeships, while the older emperor will guard the country, teach the emperor's grandson by the way, and train successors.

With the factor of the emperor's grandson, the crown prince did not dare to be too much to the emperor, so he could maintain a corresponding decency.

If this strategy is available, then both Chang'an and Luoyang can be used as capitals, or both.You don't have to be rigid about moving capitals. Everywhere the emperor or prince passes is the capital.

Liu Xie didn't comment immediately, but thought about it seriously.

Jia Xu's method has its merits, but in actual implementation, there are also many problems.

The emperor's tour of the world is very expensive, and it is also an unbearable burden for the localities.

Jia Xu said that there must be expenses, but not as much as imagined.

First of all, the reason why the emperor spent a lot of money on hunting tours in the world before was because of the constraints of various etiquette systems, there were many entourages, tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people, and there were also ministers and ministers accompanying them. Everyone must be treated in line with their official titles .If it is just a routine inspection, there is no need to make it so grand, more than a thousand people are enough, and there is no need to have all the ministers and ministers follow, it is enough to send one official in charge of supervision.

Secondly, although the governance of the country should be quiet, it should not disturb the local area too much.But managing soldiers is the opposite. If you don't patrol for a long time, the soldiers guarding the place will inevitably slack off.Frequent stimulation and review will help to urge them to train and maintain their combat effectiveness.

Finally, the inspection of the world by the emperor and the prince will help the local government maintain smooth roads, and it will also stimulate the development of vehicles such as chariots and ships, which is beneficial to the development of commerce.If His Majesty can open the road for the common people to use, the benefits it can bring will be enough to offset part of the expenses.

Liu Xie understood what Jia Xu meant.

Jia Xu has two main purposes: one is to emphasize the control over the army, and the other is to force the scholar-bureaucrats to reform the ritual system, simplify the system, and save money.

One of the main contents of inspections is the garrisons in various places. The emperor and prince systematically inspected various places and kept in touch with local soldiers, so that they could better control the army.

Inspections are expensive and have a lot to do with etiquette.By simplifying etiquette, you can cut expenses and be more pragmatic.

These two points are obviously beneficial to the maintenance of Kansai people, but not conducive to the Kanto scholar-bureaucrats.

Liu Xie decided to discuss it in the small circle around him first, and then make suggestions to Situ and Sikongfu after he has matured his consideration.

But he was satisfied with Jia Xu's support.

Generally speaking, Jia Xu's plan is very suitable for him.

Jia Xu did not object, but he suggested that Liu Xie take this opportunity to go further, as a trial.

"Jiaozhou has not yet been pacified. Why don't Your Majesty cross the river to see Ding Chong's deployment nearby, motivate the soldiers, and put some pressure on Shi Xie to force him to imprison himself as soon as possible?"

Liu Xie smiled. "Do you think Shi Xie will tie himself up and plead guilty?"

"Yes. I met Shi Xie on several occasions. At that time, he was in Luoyang and studied under Liu Tao. He was not a man for hegemony. But seeing the chaos in the Central Plains and being unable to control Lingnan, he became ambitious and imitated Zhao Tuo, Lu Jia wants to separate one side. Now that His Majesty has settled down the world, Sun Rui and Sun Ce are advancing side by side. They may have lost their courage, but they are worried that Sun Ce will kill and dare not surrender. As long as His Majesty sends an edict, he will You must come to the court with your clothes tied and your hands tied."

"You and Shi Xie are still old acquaintances?"

Jia Xu smiled, with a bit of self-mockery. "I have been a Lang in Luoyang for more than ten years, and I know a lot of people. It's just that I come from a humble background, and no one wants to make friends with me. If I am from the Kanto, or like Shi Xie, I will worship a Central Plains sergeant like Liu Tao Teacher, maybe it will be smoother."

"Where is Liu Tao from?"

"Yingyin County, Yingchuan County."

Liu Xie's heart skipped a beat.

It turned out that Shi Xie's teachers, Liu Tao and Xun Yu, were from the same county. No wonder Shi Xie was promoted so quickly as a border county scholar.

Compared with Shi Xie, Jia Xu was really far behind, so he had to go back to Xiliang and find his own way out.

Dong Zhuo's rebellion was essentially the resistance of Shandong scholar-bureaucrats to the systematic suppression of Liangzhou warriors.

They are too self-righteous, they really think they can do whatever they want and don't take Liangzhou people seriously.No matter whether it was Huangfugui and Zhang Huan who showed their interest in studying and studying, or Dong Zhuo's solicitation by coercive means, they could not get their approval.

As a member of Liangzhou people, and as Dong Zhuo's former confidant, Jia Xu remembered this moment deeply, so he took the opportunity to give them eye drops.

Since Shi Xie was a disciple of Liu Tao from Yingchuan, he was considered to be a member of Ruying's scholar-bureaucrat circle.He has separated Jiaozhou for so long, and even sent a large army to conquer, but the people of Ruying remained indifferent and did not show any sign.To say that they didn't keep it, it really doesn't make sense.

"In that case, let's take a trip to see Jiuyi Mountain."

Chapter 1193

Situ and Sikong were still discussing the new law, and Nanyang had to be occupied by someone, so Yang Biao and Zhou Zhong stayed in Nanyang. Liu Xie only brought Zhang Ji and Jia Xu to Jiangling, and even the four generals brought only Zhang Ji and Jia Xu. Duan simmered alone.

So he decided to go to the south of the Yangtze River to take a look. He didn't need to discuss with anyone, but he just sent a message to Situ and Sikong, and then sent an order to Huang Zu who stayed in Changsha to send a boat to pick him up.

Thousands of people want to cross the river, so they can only take the warships of the Jingzhou Navy.

The Son of Heaven was visiting Jiangling, and Huang Zu was waiting in Jiangnan, ready to pick him up at any time.Knowing that the emperor was going to cross the river for inspection, he brought the warship with him immediately, and respectfully welcomed the emperor to board the ship, and tried his best to show his loyalty.

He knew in his heart that if the emperor hadn't suppressed Sun Ce forcefully, he would not have survived until now, and his son Huang She would not have become the prefect of Nanyang.

Sun Ce has been staring at his neck for not a day or two.

Liu Xie didn't talk too much to Huang Zu.

Jiangxia Huang's family has received enough benefits, and their loyalty is naturally guaranteed, so there is no need to deliberately win them over.Huang Zu is disobedient, some are obedient, he doesn't mind Jiangxia Huang's family changing their head.

Looking at the Yangtze River in front of him, Liu Xie chatted with Zhang Ji and Jia Xu about the Yellow River and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Both the Yangtze River and the Yellow River originate from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. This is a truth confirmed by later generations. This era has not yet had such an understanding.Many people still think that the Yellow River originated from Kunlun—of course, there are disagreements about where Kunlun is, and it is difficult to make a conclusion in a short time.

Liu Xie's point of view can be regarded as the opinion of the family and is for reference only.Zhang Ji and Jia Xu may not understand everything, but they agree.

The reason is simple. This statement is logical and can explain many seemingly mysterious things.

such as frequent earthquakes.

A large number of earthquakes are recorded in the historical records of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there were only two earthquakes in the early years of Emperor Xian.Once in June of the second year of Chuping and once in June of the first year of Xingping.According to the Confucian theory of catastrophe, the first time was because of Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, but the second time he didn't get washed, so he had to keep it.

Liu Xie opposed these far-fetched connections. Although he did not explicitly say that Confucianism should be abolished, he repeatedly advocated a rational view of these natural phenomena and separated the disaster victims from politics, which aroused the concerns of many Confucian scholars.

On New Year's Eve, Queen Fushou questioned Zhou Zhong as a manifestation of this mentality.He gave a vague statement at the time, but the meaning was actually clear.I am not opposed to the induction between heaven and man, but I do not agree with your simple and crude induction method.

Since I came to the throne, I haven't done anything bad. Why is there an earthquake?

If it's not because of me, then it's because of you guys?

Considering the frequent accidental injury of the theory of catastrophe, it is especially unfavorable when the ruler is strong and his ministers are weak, so there are fewer and fewer people who adhere to the theory of disaster recently, and it is much more calm to discuss these natural phenomena.

If Confucianism still wants to occupy a place in the imperial court, it must reform itself and remove some outdated elements. It has gradually become a consensus.

Jia Xu was not a pure Confucian scholar, but a pragmatist, and of course he was happy to see what happened.

He even suggested that Liu Xie publish this point of view for others to refer to.

There are also many scholars traveling abroad now, maybe someone will go to the field to find out what happened.

Liu Xie laughed out loud, quite pleased with himself.

The examination system has just started, and many scholars are still not used to it, and they cannot turn this corner.Some wealthy families choose to travel, which can not only relax their minds, but also broaden their knowledge, killing two birds with one stone.

As everyone knows, this is also one of his goals.

He just wants to force the scholars who are obsessed with sage books out of the study, and let them face the real world.

See more, thinking will naturally change.

As for those who stick to the Five Classics and are unwilling to open their eyes to see the world, let them be buried in the pile of old papers.

-

Nanyang, Situ Mansion.

Yang Biao looked at the edict he had just received and sighed helplessly.

The Son of Heaven did not give up after going to Jiangling, but also went to Jiangnan.

That's all, the emperor also proposed an idea to institutionalize patrol hunting, and asked Situ and Sikong to discuss it.

When Yang Biao saw the plan, he thought of Jia Xu.

The purpose of this plan is too obvious.

Since one of the contents of the hunting tour is the garrison in various places, the Taiwei must accompany him, and the three prefectures of You and Liangliang must be the focus of the hunting tour.

It was a wrong decision to let Jia Xu accompany him.

Yang Biao asked someone to prepare tea.

This edict was not only sent to Situ Mansion, but also copied to Sikong Mansion.It won't be long before Zhou Zhong will come.

As expected, just as the tea was ready, Sikong Zhou Zhong hurried in.As soon as he entered the door, before entering the hall, Zhou Zhong said angrily: "Wen Xian, I said that it was a mistake for you to give up the Taiwei to Jia Xu, have you seen it now?"

Yang Biao smiled and signaled Zhou Zhong not to be impatient, and sat down to drink tea.

Zhou Zhong said that he couldn't drink it, but his hands were not slow at all. He poured a cup of hot tea directly into his mouth, his face changed several times due to the heat, and he almost spit out the tea.

"Jia Mou, please slow down." Yang Biao reminded helplessly, "After Jia Wenhe, who is the most suitable to be the Taiwei?"

Zhou Zhong thought about it. "Jun Rong is suitable, but his attitude is unclear recently, and he doesn't know whether he is under pressure or has a change of mind."

"What about after Junrong?"

"Yan Ran protects Cao Cao, and You Yan protects Xun You."

"What about later?"

Zhou Zhong shook his head, with a hint of complacency on the corner of his mouth. "Things that are too far away are meaningless to predict."

Yang Biao laughed loudly and pointed at Zhou Zhong. "You, you refuse to talk endlessly in front of me, and you still hope that others can confide in you and me?"

As he spoke, Yang Biao shook the cattail fan in his hand. "Among the juniors under thirty, there are not many who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Gong Jin."

Zhou Zhong was holding a teacup and was about to drink tea. Hearing Yang Biao's words, his eyes turned. "Who else?"

Yang Biao pointed to the west with his cattail fan. "Thousands of miles away, that kid who is making waves on the Black Sea prairie."

Zhou Zhong's eyes flashed slightly, and he realized that Yang Biao was talking about Shen You.

According to the news recently received, Shen You and Ke Bineng's daughter, Tang Su, are in love with each other, and Ke Bineng is very pleased. He has replaced Xun Yun as Ke Bineng's commander-in-chief, and is assisting Ke Bineng to march into the prairie on the northern shore of the Black Sea. .

Shen You and Zhou Yu are about the same age, good in martial arts, and have the upper hand. The chance of making meritorious service in the Western Regions is much greater than Zhou Yu's. Twenty years later, he will be a strong candidate for Zhou Yu to compete for Taiwei.

"The people from Jiangdong have risen suddenly, and their momentum is no less than that of Liangzhou people. If the emperor moves the capital to Jiangling, I am afraid that the four counties in Jingnan will also come to share a piece of the pie. Wen Xian, the emperor is going to kill all the scholar-bureaucrats in Shandong."

Yang Biao frowned slightly. "Jiamou, there is a saying that may not be very pleasant to your ears. But as an old friend, I still want to remind you. Today's world cannot be supported by Shandong scholar-bureaucrats. Whether it is Jiangdong or Jingnan, it is neither. It used to be a land of barbarians. Before long, the navy led by Sun Ce will be able to cruise the South China Sea. How can you equate Shandong with a civilized place? The world is so big that there is no need to spread Shandong, Shanxi, Jiangnan and Hebei."

Chapter 1194 Spring and Autumn Dream

Zhou Zhong was a little embarrassed, and nodded embarrassingly.

"As you get older, your habits are hard to change." He patted his mouth lightly, and laughed at himself: "You are born with a quick mouth, and you will inevitably make mistakes."

"Words are the voice of the heart." Yang Biao said bluntly: "You don't think so in your heart, how can you say so?"

Zhou Zhong put down his teacup and solemnly cupped his hands in thanks. "Yes, yes. Wen Xian taught me the lesson. I will remember it. When I get back, I will thank the guests behind closed doors and reflect on myself."

Yang Biao snorted and didn't say anything more.

Zhou Zhong is about the same age as him and has a similar official position, so he can't say too much, he can only find an opportunity to remind him.

The topic returned to Jia Xu's hunting strategy.

The two discussed for a long time, and felt that this plan seemed absurd, but it had merits.

The running water does not rot, and the door hinge does not moth.It is not conducive to the long-term stability of the country for the emperor or the prince to live in the capital. When the expenditure is under control, regular inspections are not a way to supervise the local area, and it is also consistent with the emperor's civil appointment of Situ and Sikong.

The emperor was patrolling outside, and interfered less with Situ and Sikong.

As for the military, anyway, it is impossible for the emperor to give up for the time being, so it is better to maintain this situation for the time being.When the world is at peace, the influence of Jia Xu and Xiliang people will weaken, and Xun You, Zhou Yu and others will take over, the situation will naturally change.

To take a step back, the Son of Heaven is not a warlike person, and there will be no problem with military power in his hands.

In principle, Yang Biao agrees, open and in-depth discussions can be conducted.

After listening to Yang Biao's analysis, Zhou Zhong also changed his mind and said it was acceptable.He then mentioned the matter that the emperor was going to the south of the Yangtze River.

"Wen Xian, do you still remember Liu Tao?"

"Of course I remember." Yang Biao said lightly. "Are you worried that the Son of Heaven will link Shi Xie with the people of Ruying?"

"Aren't you worried?"
