Han Dao world

Liu Xie took a step forward, reached out to take the scroll in Han Xuan's hand, unfolded it and glanced at it, feeling a little complicated.

The tyranny of the Changsha people exceeded his estimation.Not only did they not give Zhang Ji and Huang Zu face, but they also didn't give him the emperor face, and they directly sued the Imperial Court, and it was the Xiliang Army that he had always relied on.

It would be even more ironic if one considers that not long ago, he awarded the elite of Zhang Ji's subordinates the military title and stayed in the army to teach.

It was like slapping him in the face in public.

Apart from being unhappy, he was also somewhat fortunate.

Fortunately, I came to Changsha on a whim, otherwise I really didn't know that Zhang Ji had so much black material.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that it was not my own whim, but Jia Xu's suggestion.

Thinking of this, Liu Xie glanced at Jia Xu from the corner of his eye to see his reaction.

As expected, Jia Xu is always so calm, as if nothing can move him.

Liu Xielue thought about it and called out. "Captain?"

Jia Xu saluted in response. "The minister is here."

"Since it's a matter of military discipline, your Taiwei's Mansion can hardly escape the blame. Send someone to investigate seriously, deal with it fairly, and give an explanation to the people of Changsha. If there is any injustice, General Hushi, Ding Junshi, and General Huang must also be punished. clean."

"only."

Liu Xie turned to Han Xuan, who looked a little uneasy, with a smile on his face. "To be fair, you also arranged for two people to assist the Taiwei in a thorough investigation."

Han Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to accept the order.

Huan Jie behind Han Xuan frowned, a little uneasy.

Liu Xie thought for a while, and said again: "Please arrange for two people from the Sikong Mansion to come. After all, judiciary and supervision are their duties."

Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty's words are reasonable, and I agree. It's best to let Sikong come in person. After all..." He paused and glanced at Zhang Ji. "This matter involves General Hussars and more than a hundred soldiers. It is prudent for Sikong to come forward in person."

Zhang Ji's face turned pale instantly.

He was too aware of Zhou Zhong's attitude towards him, if Zhou Zhong were to investigate this case, wouldn't it be clear that he would not be able to clear it up even if he jumped into Dongting Lake.

Huan Jie's face also changed, his figure moved slightly, but stopped abruptly, only his sleeves swayed slightly.

Liu Xie nodded and signaled the scattered riders beside him to write down the edict and send it out immediately.

Not long after, a fast boat sailed away from the shore and sped north.

The people who came to greet him looked at each other in blank dismay.

The people on the shore didn't know what happened. Why did the emperor just arrive in Changsha and before he disembarked, an edict was issued.

The people on the boat were horrified by the emperor's decisiveness. They didn't have the evasion and protection they imagined, and directly issued an edict, which was jointly investigated by the Taiwei and Sikong.

"Can we disembark now, Lord Han?" Liu Xie asked lightly with a smile on his face.

Han Xuan came back to his senses, got up quickly, and walked in front.

"Your Majesty, please."

-

After getting off the boat, I met the people waiting on the shore. After a short chat, I boarded the car again and entered Changsha City.

Zhang Ji was in a state of confusion, and took advantage of the opportunity of being in the same car to ask Jia Xu for advice.

Looking at Zhang Ji, who was sweating profusely and even his neckline was wet, Jia Xu couldn't help sighing. "What are you afraid of?"

Zhang Ji smiled wryly. "Wenhe, can I not worry? Those are all my subordinates, if I really want to find out something..."

"What are you really trying to find out?" Jia Xu asked back, "Did they wrong you?"

"Uh..." Zhang Ji swallowed, and said with a dry smile, "Most of them are true."

Jia Xu nodded. "Since it's true, let's go and investigate it. If it's true, deal with it one by one. It's also considered to eliminate the black sheep. Don't let them drag down all Xiliang people. The emperor has been enlightening for so many years, and there are still people who harass the local people. They are too courageous. .”

Zhang Ji didn't dare to say anything, but his expression was still tangled.

The corruption of military discipline has an indissoluble relationship with him.Jia Xu can stay out of the matter, but he can't be so calm.

Seeing this, Jia Xu had no choice but to remind him again. "You have already been disarmed, even if the emperor punishes you, it's just a punishment and a reduction of household income, so don't worry too much."

Zhang Ji felt relieved, but he couldn't believe it. "That's all?"

Jia Xu smiled. "Can't you trust me?"

Zhang Ji grinned and stroked Jia Xu's back affectionately. "Wenhe, how could I not trust you? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today, and the people of Xiliang wouldn't be where they are today. I just..." Seeing Jia Xu's unkind expression, he quickly withdrew his hand and said with a sneer: "I just feel ashamed of you and your Majesty."

"You should really be ashamed." Jia Xu said quietly: "But you are a rough person. Your job is to fight, not to educate. Even if there is any problem, you are not the main person responsible."

Zhang Ji blinked and realized instantly, the corners of his mouth twitched, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

That's right, Ding Chong is in charge of enlightenment, not Zhang Ji, so why should he worry?
In an instant, Zhang Ji felt relaxed.

After entering Changsha City, Liu Xie, accompanied by Han Xuan and others, came to the Pantheon.

The Pantheon in Changsha is star-studded, and there are many names that Liu Xie is familiar with, not only celebrities with a long history, such as Qu Yuan and Jia Yi, but also those who have made outstanding achievements in previous Changsha prefects, such as Zhi Yun and Kang Xu.

To Liu Xie's surprise, he actually saw Sun Jian's name.

Sun Jian used to be the prefect of Changsha, but he is still a warrior in essence, and he is not very good at people's livelihood.He himself knew this, and he claimed that "the prefect has no civility, and he used conquest as a merit." Such a person can have a place in Changsha's Pantheon, which shows that there is still some difference between Changsha and the Central Plains scholars who advocate Confucianism and strongly depreciate warriors. of.

From another perspective, although Changsha has been included in the territory of Chu State since the pre-Qin period, it has always been on the edge of civilization and has not been completely assimilated.

This point is even more obvious in Jiangxia, which is separated by a river.

Until now, there are still some tribes in Jiangxia called Jiangxia Man.

Although Confucianism is good at enlightenment, their economic conservatism doomed their enlightenment efficiency to be limited, most of the time they were in a state of letting go, concentrated in relatively economically affluent areas, and had limited impact on border and poor areas.

Cang is honest and polite.If the people are not allowed to get rich first, there will be no way to talk about enlightenment, and in the end it will become the enclosure of the scholar-bureaucrats, and the kingly way will always be an unattainable dream.

Liu Xie stood in front of the portraits of Qu Yuan and Jia Yi and looked at them for a while, then turned to Han Xuan and said, "How do you think of these two sages?"

Han Xuan bowed and said: "Qu Yuan is talented, he wrote "Heavenly Questions" and "Li Sao", Jia Sheng is intelligent, wrote "Passing the Qin Dynasty" and "The Bird", and they are all loyal ministers, so he should be the teacher of the latecomers."

Liu Xie smiled, and looked at Huan Jie behind Han Xuan. "What does Gongcao think?"

Huan Jie thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "Although the second student is talented and thoughtful, he is short of doing things. He can't show off and repay the negative. Later generations will lament his emptiness."

Liu Xie smiled slightly and motioned for Huan Jie to come in. "Please tell me in detail."

"Don't dare." Huan Jie bowed and saluted, and simply stated his point of view.

He believes that although Qu Yuan and Jia Xu are loyal ministers, they are hard to get rid of bookishness, good at speech, clumsy in deeds, leaving a virtuous name, but they have no achievements in the world, and they are not perfect.

Liu Xie asked: "Gong Cao thinks, what is perfect?"

Huan Jie didn't think about it. "Be three immortals."
