Han Dao world

Chapter 40
Jia Xu ordered someone to prepare some food and wine again, and had a drink with Liu Xie.

Drinking is secondary, whether there is communication or not, and in-depth understanding is the key.

With Yang Xiu by his side, it is always inconvenient to say something.

The son of the Taiwei, who was also born in the Hongnong Yang family of the fourth generation and the third father, the label on Yang Xiu's body is not only obvious, but also dazzling.

The contest between the Son of Heaven and Yang Biao outside the gate of the camp could not escape the attention of discerning people, let alone someone like Jia Xu.

Liu Xie understood this point, and so did Jia Xu.

That's why Jia Xu proposed to stay in Duan Yan's camp temporarily just now, and handed over the initiative to Liu Xie.Liu Xie understood, and passed the problem to Yang Biao.

Don't you want military power?I'll give you military power, and see if Shi Sun Rui can handle it.

If you can control the Northern Army, you can also control Yang Feng, Yang Ding and Dong Cheng?

Among other things, with your attitude that you think you are superior to others, can you urinate in the same pot as the Xiliang rebels and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans?

This is the first time the two have played together, and the effect is not bad.

"Sir, I agreed to Yang Ding's request to raise half a month's food for him." Liu Xie cut to the chase, repeating the previous promise to Yang Ding.

Jia Xu took a sip of the wine and nodded. "Your Majesty can speak to General Ning Ji tomorrow, and he will make arrangements."

"I have heard that General Ning Ji and Yang Ding are at odds."

"If Yang Ding asks for it, naturally he won't have a grain of food. Your Majesty will answer any request." Jia Xu smiled, raised the wine dagger, and poured some wine for Liu Xie. "Although General Ning Ji is attached to Dong Zhuo, he is different from Li Jue, Guo Si and others. He has never been valued in Dong Zhuo's army, but he has no choice but to serve the country."

Jia Xu sighed. "Most Xiliang people are like this."

Liu Xie also sighed. "It's not just from Xiliang, why is the court not like this? Emperor Xiaohuan valued Duan Taiwei and put down the chaos of the Qiang. How much infamy did he get? The first emperor wanted to put down the chaos in the frontier, so he was guilty of learning and eating. But those great Confucians Famous ministers speak uprightly in the court hall, and when they come down from the court, they taste more delicious than anyone else."

The corner of Jia Xu's mouth twitched, and it took a lot of effort not to laugh out loud.

"Your Majesty has the spirit of Emperor Gao."

Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu. "Sir, do you mean my attitude towards Confucian scholars?"

Jia Xu was a little embarrassed.That's what he meant, but is it necessary to make it so clear, can we still have a pleasant chat?
"As far as the attitude towards Confucian scholars is concerned, I have [-] years more experience than Emperor Gao, and I am slightly better than myself."

Jia Xu looked at Liu Xie in surprise, and then realized that Liu Xie didn't speak bluntly just now, but expressed his feelings.

His heart moved. "Dare to ask His Majesty carefully."

Liu Xie showed a slight smile, raised his wine glass, and touched Jia Xu. "Sir, ask yourself, is Confucianism or Taoism?"

Jia Xu held the wine glass and thought for a long time. "Half Confucianism, half Taoism."

Liu Xie took a sip of wine. "Advance leads to Confucianism, retreat leads to Taoism?"

Jia Xu nodded. "It's almost close."

"Is your Tao the Huang Lao Tao, or the Yellow Turban Tao?"

Jia Xu frowned and thought for a long time again. "The so-called way of the yellow scarf is just the art of witchcraft, mixed with the words of a hundred schools of thought, how can it be praised?"

"Sir, what you said is unavoidably biased." Liu Xie said bluntly.

To get Jia Xu's true allegiance, he must come up with something that convinces Jia Xu.With the sophistication of the world, he must have worked hard for half his life, and was used to seeing Jia Xu, who is full of ghosts and demons, so he can only reduce dimensionality from a theoretical level and convince him psychologically.

The Son of Heaven is the spokesperson of God's will. Of course, he should think about some high-level theories. Who would care about daily necessities?

"Please advise, Your Majesty." Jia Xu said lightly.

"For Mr. Yu, who is more indispensable, the people or the people?"

Jia Xu's face changed slightly, and his expression became serious.He took a sip of the wine, but held it in his mouth, and took a long time to swallow it slowly.

The emperor's words broke his long-standing misunderstanding of thinking.

He hated that the Kanto family discriminated against Liangzhou people and exploited the Han and Qiang people in Liangzhou, but he forgot that he was also one of them and discriminated against people from his hometown.

Is there any essential difference between him and those people?

In a trance, Jia Xu seemed to have climbed an invisible building, and looked down to see her ugly self.

"Your Majesty's criticism is right, the subject is indeed biased." Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief. "The common people are born out of ten thousand people, so how can they be self-respecting and noble. The minister insists on accusing the Kanto family of being prejudiced and rejecting Xiliang scholars, but in fact, Xiliang scholars are not prejudiced? Fifty steps laugh at a hundred steps."

Liu Xie smiled. "I've been thinking hard for half a month, and suddenly I realized that you are worthy of being a Sergeant in Liangzhou."

Jia Xu bowed and bowed. "Your Majesty's absurd praise, I don't dare to be. In terms of world affairs and human relations, I am nearly half a hundred years old, and may be able to surpass Your Majesty. In terms of heaven and earth, my minister is not as far away as Your Majesty. This is limited by talent, not manpower. I wish to follow Your Majesty. , often listen to the jade tone."

Liu Xie reached out to hold Jia Xu's arm. "Sir, you are serious. I also get something occasionally, and I would like to think about it with you."

Jia Xu took advantage of the situation and asked, "Is it related to the celestial phenomena on the night of Renyin?"

Liu Xie shook his head. "Heaven's will is far and wide, beyond what I can guess."

Jia Xu was surprised. "Then how did His Majesty get it?"

Liu Xie picked up a green bean and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly. "Liangzhou Qiang has been in chaos for a hundred years, and then rebelled again. The Yellow Turban in the Kanto changed, and the eight states merged. In the end, it was the common people who had no choice but to rebel. The people are like this, so why not the court? Mr. was once a man in the palace, presumably I know that as early as twenty or thirty years ago, the imperial court was stretched and could not fully pay the salary of Lang Guan."

Jia Xu's complexion darkened, and he sighed involuntarily.

The emperor's words aroused his sadness.

As a scholar from Liangzhou, raising Xiaolian as a Lang is a good thing with a bright future.Who would have thought that he had been a man in the palace for several years, not only did he see no hope of promotion, but because he couldn't get a full salary, he was poor in food and clothing, and in the end he couldn't even pay for medical treatment, so he had to abandon his official position and return to his hometown.

In contrast, those Kanto scholars who are far less intelligent than him can rely on family support, not only live a good life, but also call friends and feast day and night.When they are promoted and released, they often get the chance to be promoted, which is enviable.

"The common people have no money, and the court has no money. Where did the money go?" Liu Xie picked up another green bean. "It is said that the first emperor was extravagant, built Wanjintang, and sold officials and nobles, but they really don't know where the money is used? In other words, the money accumulated by Wanjintang is really richer than the assets accumulated by the family?"

Liu Xie grinned and looked at Jia Xu meaningfully. "Sir, you are in Dong Zhuo's army. You should know whether Dong Zhuo got more from the palace or from the Luoyang family, right?"

Jia Xu coughed twice in embarrassment. "According to your Majesty's words, do you want to use the strength of the people to suppress the strength of the people?"

Liu Xie shook his head. "It's not borrowing power, but practicing the way. Power is sometimes poor, but the way is endless. Back then, the master taught without discrimination, so that the learning of kings and officials benefited the sons and scholars. The emperor Gao abolished the world, the world and the world, so that the commoner can be a minister. .I want to go one step further, so that all people can share the kingly way and the world will be unified. Only in this way can the roots be deep and rooted, and peace will last for thousands of years."

Liu Xie raised his cup and gestured to Jia Xu. "If you can get what you want, why is Liangzhou in trouble?"

Jia Xu took a deep breath and stared at the emperor obsessively.

He knew that the emperor had great ambitions, but he did not expect that the emperor's ambitions would be so great.

What is ZTE Dahan, the Son of Heaven is going to act kingly in the world, like a master and a high emperor, and build the deeds of a saint.

When you listen to it, you will feel that this is arrogance.

After thinking about it carefully, I realized that this is the real Dao, and it is also where the master's real merits for benefiting future generations lie.

The master gave ordinary scholars the opportunity to learn etiquette.

Emperor Gao let the commoner be the prime minister.

The Son of Heaven wants all the people to enjoy the kingly way, the world will be unified, and real peace will be realized.

If everyone has food and clothing, can read, has little to support, and is old enough to rely on, why not worry about peace?

From the prince to the people, from the people to the people, isn't this the change from the past to the present that Tai Shigong strives for?

Throughout the ages, there have been tens of thousands of scholars, who can see this, and practice it personally, and follow the Tao?

Tai Shigong said: There have been saints in five hundred years, but His Majesty is the only one?

Liu Xie was apprehensive, but his face remained calm, looking at Jia Xu with a smile on his face. "Sir, can we have a drink together?"

Jia Xu came back to his senses, raised his wine glass in a panic, motioned to Liu Xie, and drank it down in one gulp.

"My minister is humble, and I would like to climb your majesty's dragon scale and make meritorious service."
