The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 647
Since the establishment of Liu Bei Group, it can be regarded as unparalleled in the eyes of people all over the world, but in the eyes of Xuzhou officials, it is only in the early stages of starting a business.

Because not only Liu Bei himself, but even the officials in Xuzhou are now aiming at the world.

This chaotic world is bound to be unified, and it must be unified, and only Xuzhou can complete this great cause of unification!

As the core figure in the group second only to the lord Liu Bei, Lin Chao has always played the role of integrating internal resources and controlling the grand strategy, which is not unimportant.

Today's Xuzhou Group can do without anyone, except him, Lin Zichu.

Those talents recruited and promoted by him, those fierce generals who fought under his command, not to mention the current policies, all have to be coordinated step by step by someone from Lin.

As the lord of the four states, Liu Bei has long been accustomed to Lin Chao's style of arranging everything in advance.

Now that he suddenly heard the news that Lin Chao was going to resign, Liu Bei didn't think much, and subconsciously laughed and scolded: "Zi Chu, don't talk nonsense, I just came to ask about Yanzhou's affairs, not to blame your fault."

Looking at Lin Chao again, he was still holding the ax that Liu Bei gave him in the past, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xuande, the court has just said that what happened in Yanzhou was caused by Jia Wenhe's misdeeds, and the court is also jointly and severally responsible for it." , please punish Xuande."

"Punishment aside, you just said you were going to resign?"

"It's not resignation, it's actually dismissal." Lin Chao said seriously, "Dereliction of duty should naturally be punished. For this matter in Yanzhou, Chao should be dismissed from office."

Seeing that Lin Chao didn't look like he was joking, Liu Bei suddenly panicked, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He frowned and said, "Even if there is a responsibility to sit down, it's only a small fault. Don't mention Zichu's words again."

Xun Yu also persuaded: "My lord is wise, the most urgent task at the moment is how to deal with the disaster in Yanzhou, not to pursue responsibility."

"No, what Wen Ruo said is wrong!" Lin Chao shook his head and said, "Since ancient times, governing a country is like governing an army. If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded, and if you commit crimes, you will be punished. Only when rewards and punishments are clearly defined can all people be united; if rewards and punishments are not clear, it is inevitable that the subordinates will be dissatisfied."

Guo Jia thought for a while and said: "Zichu, your achievements over the years cannot be offset by a small crime. If you are dismissed from office because of this, rumors will spread in Xuzhou. How will people in the world think of the lord? ? You want to trap the lord in injustice."

"No, Mr. Xuande has clear rewards and punishments. People in the world will only praise Mr. Xuande for his justice, and there will be no criticism."

"That's not necessarily true." Cui Yan also retorted, "I, Xuzhou, have always won people with generosity, and you are an important minister of the commander-in-chief Bai Kui, so if you are dismissed for trivial matters, the officials will inevitably think that the lord treats the ministers harshly. A fear of causing people to scatter."

"Senior brother is serious, I thought..."

Seeing that the three of them took turns, but still could not win back Lin Chao's heart, Liu Bei's face became more and more ugly, until finally, he slammed the table.

There was a sudden silence in the field, and the drop of a needle could be heard.

Liu Bei looked at Lin Chao, smiled at Xun Yu and the other three, and said, "I have some important matters to discuss with Zichu, you three should step back for now."

Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, but in the end they all cupped their hands and said:

"As ordered!"

After the three of them left the room, Liu Bei stood up, took the ax from Lin Chao's hand, and put it back to its original position.

"Zichu, there's no one else around right now, so you can always speak up."

Liu Bei looked at Lin Chao with unprecedented seriousness on his face.

If it is said that Lin Chao resigned without reason, Liu Bei would definitely not believe it.

When he was just a small county captain in the past, Lin Zichu was able to spend all his wealth to follow him.Although there is no unification of the world now, it can be regarded as success and fame. It is the time when he is making great achievements. Why did he abandon himself?

And after the four of them argued just now, Liu Bei somehow figured it out.

What Jia Xu did in Yanzhou this time was instigated by him, Lin Zichu!
Make things bigger and use it as an excuse to resign and go back.

The only thing Liu Bei couldn't figure out was why Lin Chao did this.

But facing Liu Bei's question, Lin Chao remained silent, not knowing how to answer.

In other words, he didn't know how to express it so that Liu Bei could understand what he meant.

To put it bluntly, Liu Bei would not think that it was necessary for him to resign.

If it goes too deep, it will inevitably involve some sensitive taboos, which will lead to a series of troublesome things.

Lin Chao was still pondering, but Liu Bei still didn't get an answer after waiting for a while, and his complexion immediately became gloomy, and his heart sank.

"Zichu, you and I are siblings. We started together in humble beginnings in the past, but now you don't even want to say a word of truth. What did you do wrong that you insist on abandoning me? "

Although I don't know what Liu Bei thought up, but this sentence is obviously a bit serious, Lin Chao immediately cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Xuande's words are serious, and Chao has no such intention."

"Then why do you have to resign?"

Lin Chao deliberated for a long time before finally opening his mouth and saying, "Mr. Xuande, there are two reasons for Chao's resignation this time."

Liu Bei hurriedly said, "Then talk about it carefully, and let someone see if it is necessary to dismiss him from office."

"First, the northern border has not been settled, so we can't look back to the south, so how can we talk about unifying the world?"

Liu Bei asked: "The northern border mentioned by Zichu refers to Youzhou or outside the Great Wall?"

"They are all." Lin Chao said, "Mr. Xuande, there are thirteen states in the Han Dynasty, and now we occupy four of them. Although they are all rich in the Central Plains, they are also in the middle. If the world changes in the future, My Xuzhou is caught in a double-team situation between the north and the south, how can I break the situation?

Therefore, the court plans to spend a few years to stabilize the north, and then it can move south and west, sweep the world, and dominate the world.At that time, Duke Xuande will be able to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty and be famous forever! "

Regarding these words, Liu Bei first frowned and thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Zi Chu's words are serious, Yuan Gonglu and Cao Mengde are certainly traitors, but Liu Bo'an in Youzhou belongs to the same clan as a certain, and Gongsun Bogui is a senior brother of a certain , should not be hostile to someone."

Lin Chao smiled: "Mr. Xuande, there are no relatives or brothers on this road to hegemony."

Hearing this, Liu Bei was startled for a moment, then nodded slowly.

"Even if Liu Bo'an and Gongsun Bogui have no objections, Youzhou is the territory of the Han Dynasty, how can they be allowed to become a country within a country?"

Liu Bei remained silent.

There is no way to answer these words. If you really want to count, is Xuzhou now a country within a country?

However, the imperial court is weak, so what if the state government does not self-govern?
Loyalty, treachery, good and evil, after all, cannot be judged unilaterally, and must ultimately be contested at the level of strength.

Liu Bei didn't want to have a deep discussion with Lin Chao on this issue, so he said, "Even if you want to pacify northern Xinjiang, you don't have to resign from office at the beginning of the year. You can ask the imperial court to issue an edict so that you can enter the palace in an upright manner." State."

"And that gets to the second reason."

"what reason?"

"Did Xuande read anything recently?"

Lin Chao didn't answer Liu Bei, but instead asked a seemingly irrelevant question.

"This……"

Mentioning this, Liu Bei couldn't help but blush.

When he first entered Xuzhou, Lin Chao advised him to study more.

But this kind of boring thing is not as enjoyable as eating and playing. In addition, Lin Chao and the inner government have already done almost everyone, which caused Liu Bei to idle around all day, and naturally he did not develop the habit of reading.

"There are many tasks in the army, and I am very busy on weekdays, so I don't have time... Zichu, let's talk about business."

Seeing Liu Bei's faltering, Lin Chao didn't hold on to the matter, but continued, "Did Mr. Xuande hear about Wei Ran and Huo Guangzhi's past?"

Wei Ran, a minister of the State of Qin during the Warring States period, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Xuan, and the uncle of King Qin Zhaoxiang, is also the Bole who killed the god Bai Qi.

King Qin Zhaoxiang was young when he succeeded to the throne, and the Empress Dowager Xuan ruled the court and ruled in his place. Wei Ran also controlled the power of Qin for nearly [-] years.

To be precise, Wei Ran has made contributions to the Qin State, and the credit is not small.

But when he finally became famous, his personal desires stood in front of the national interests, and he ended up in a sad end.

As for Huo Guang, he is the younger brother of Huo Qubing, the famous general of the ages, the minister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the veteran of the four dynasties of the Western Han Dynasty. He has made outstanding contributions to the country.

But even so, when he was so powerful, it was inevitable that he would attract the emperor's fear.

Although he was beautiful during his lifetime, after his death, his family was accused of treason and was uprooted by Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

Of the two people Lin Chao mentioned, Liu Bei may not know the former, but he is absolutely familiar with the latter, but he is still puzzled.

"What do you mean by Zichu's words..."

At this time, Lin Chao raised his head and looked at Liu Bei with clear eyes, and said in his mouth, "Mr. Xuande, the power in Chao's hands... is too much."

Hearing this, Liu Bei heard a loud 'buzz' in his head, and immediately understood what Lin Chao meant.

Zichu compared himself to Huo Guang, fearing that his achievements would shock the Lord, so he wanted to retreat bravely!

Liu Bei quickly explained: "Zichu, you and I have known each other for many years, so you should know what a certain person is. You can have the power in your hands today because of your bloody fighting..."

As he said that, Liu Bei stood up, raised one hand high, and said with a solemn expression: "I swear to the sky here, that I will never let you down in my lifetime!"

Lin Chao said: "Mr. Xuande has said it, and Chao must have been suspicious of Mr. Xuande's character, otherwise he would not have said it."

"Then why are you..." Liu Bei was puzzled.

Lin Chao spread his hands and said with a smile, "Mr. Xuande, I don't know if I should say something or not."

"Don't be wordy, but it's okay to say."

"Mr. Xuande thinks, what is the picture of my Xuzhou officials fighting on the battlefield?"

Liu Bei took it for granted with a full face: "Naturally, it is to make meritorious deeds, seal his wife and son, and leave his name in history!"

"That's it." Lin Chao spread his hands and smiled, "The prosperity of the world is all for profit; the world is full of hustle and bustle, all for profit. What Duke Xuande said just now, in the final analysis, is just the word 'profit'.

Merit is profit, wealth is profit, and leaving a name in history is also profit.

There are many aspiring people in the world, but there are few people who know each other, and there are even fewer people who have the same mind as Chao and Xuande.

Just imagine, Mr. Xuande, most of my ministers in Xuzhou are single-handedly promoted.Although this group of people has made great achievements, they have also gathered into a huge group.

When Duke Xuande was in court, they naturally bowed their heads and obeyed their orders.But when Duke Xuande and the court are both dead, who should check and balance this huge group?
If it is not controlled, these people will be like the previous aristocratic family, and it is inevitable that they will not be able to get rid of.What's more, it will destroy the foundation laid down by you personally, Mr. Xuande, like a powerful family tyrannizing the court.

If Mr. Xuande doesn't believe it, you might as well think about the past events of Huan and Ling. The lesson from the past is not far away! "

Lin Chao's remarks can be said to have clearly explained the reasons for his resignation.

The so-called essence of politics is to make many friends and few enemies.

The reason why Lin Chao can mobilize everything in Xuzhou now is because he promoted and appointed these civil servants and generals, large and small.While Lin Chao was kind to them, they were also a part of Lin Chao's huge power.

If one day Lin Chao's orders no longer serve their interests, will they still obey them?
Just like Xun Yu in the original history, why can he occupy a high position in the Cao Wei Group?
Just because he is a representative of the Yingchuan gentry, the talents recommended and promoted by him have become the backbone of the Cao Wei Group.

However, the power of the prime minister is in opposition to the power of the monarch after all, so he was also backlashed by this force later on, not to mention controlling, even if he pulled away, he couldn't do it, and finally ended up in a hidden end.

Lin Chao's words not only pointed out the key point, but also did not touch on more sensitive areas, it can be said that it is neither deep nor shallow.

After hearing this, Liu Bei pondered for a long time, but finally let out a sigh.

"Zichu, I said earlier that you are very relieved to be in power, but you keep worrying..."

Lin Chao cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Xuande, don't say that Chao should not have such great power, that is, no one should have such great power. After returning from this trip, he can concentrate on preparing for the Northern Expedition. And Xuan De Gong, you can also take this opportunity to clean up..."

There is no solution to the problems brought about by power, and under the current situation, Lin Chao can only do so.

Liu Bei smiled wryly and said: "Forget it, forget it, it's up to you. It's just that... Zichu, you worked hard for someone, but now you end up losing your job. People in the world don't understand, and they think you have committed Xia's unforgivable crime. But it hurt your reputation, I'm sorry for you!"

Lin Chao said with a smile, "May I ask Lord Xuande, is there any change in the ambition of supporting the Han family in the past?"

"Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, a certain person has determined to help the big man. This determination is as firm as a rock, and it will not change in any way."

Liu Bei said with a serious face.

Lin Chao said with a smile: "Then Xuande Gong doesn't need to blame himself, he thinks it's the right time to dismiss him from office.

The public is like a green mountain, and the court is like a pine and cypress; "

Hearing this, Liu Bei was completely shocked. He stood up suddenly and took Lin Chao's hand, cheering up, "Okay, well said! Zichu, I swear that life and death will not be easy with you!"

Lin Chao: ...

Excitement is nothing but excitement, such a big move like arm swimming is not fun to use casually!

Besides, what's the matter with your affectionate eyes!

"Mr. Xuande, Chao is talking about ambition..." Lin Chao said weakly.

"It's natural, and what a certain person said is also an ambition."

"Then you... let go of your hand first?"

"No, I can't let you go." Liu Bei said firmly, "Zicu, I will walk hand in hand with you for the rest of my life and never separate."
