Han Dao world

Chapter 606
Protracted war is not passive waiting, but active creation of conditions, persistent efforts, imperceptible, dripping through stone.

Adult habits are hard to change, and young people are the future.

Liu Xie went through the available talents in his mind, and Zhuge Liang's name surfaced immediately.

This is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate so far, not one of them.

Smart, down-to-earth, and unconnected.

Zhou Zhong who brought him could barely count, but it was not a big problem.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Xun Wenqian gently pushed Liu Xie, awakening Liu Xie from his imagination.

"What's the matter?"

"What are you thinking?" Xun Wenqian looked a little embarrassed. "Laughing...so weird."

Liu Xie came back to his senses, laughed, stretched out his hand and pulled Xun Wenqian over, hugging her in his arms. "I'm thinking about a major event, which is related to the future national destiny of Dahan."

Xun Wenqian leaned on Liu Xie's strong chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, feeling inexplicably relieved.

"Your Majesty has thought deeply, which is good. It's just that the immediate troubles have to be resolved, and it's not appropriate to ignore them. I've been hearing people around me talk about the war in Shandong these past two days. I'm afraid the ministers are already in a hurry, but I dare not speak out. "

The safety of the empress and the dignitaries is all in charge of the Habayashi female guards, and most of the female guards are officials, wives and daughters of generals. They are no strangers to important government affairs, and discussions are common.Liu Xie was not disgusted, nor did he object to Fu Shou and Xun Wenqian conveying some information to him.

This is two different things from the harem meddling in politics, and the final decision is still in his hands.

"What do you say?"

"Different people have different ideas." Xun Wenqian's eyes were clear. "Some people want to make meritorious service, and they wish His Majesty would send his troops east immediately. Some people are worried about disasters in their hometown, and hope that His Majesty will regard peace as the most important thing, so that Yuan Shao can be recruited into the court, and the soldiers will cease fighting."

Liu Xie almost didn't laugh out loud, but he was well trained and held back.

"What do you think?" Liu Xie fiddled with the hair next to Xun Wenqian's ear.

Xun Wenqian turned her head, her hair brushed against Liu Xie's chest.She looked at Liu Xie quietly, blinked her eyes, and showed a bitter smile.

"As a member of the Xun family in Yingchuan, I certainly hope that Your Majesty can recruit Yuan Shao into the court and end the war. After all, the Xun family belongs to the enemy and us. If Yuan Shao is defeated, someone must be sacrificed. If they can make peace, they can do it for them. Serving the country, both public and private, is the best outcome. Your Majesty may not be clear. Although the concubine's third and fourth uncles are not as famous as the concubine's father, they are not weak. Especially the third uncle, who is both civil and military, is similar to the public .”

Liu Xie thought about it. "You mean Xun Yan and Xun Zhan?"

"Yes."

Liu Xie nodded and did not continue the topic.At this moment, Xun Wenqian deliberately mentioned these two people, which actually explained the problem.

The Xun family is not optimistic about Yuan Shao and is ready to leave completely.

But he needn't rush to make a statement.

The Xun family already had a great influence in the court, and if they were so eager to recruit Xun Yan and Xun Zhan into the court, the marginal benefits would diminish, but the adverse effects would increase, which was not the best policy.

Xun Yan and Xun Zhan will come sooner or later, unless they want to be buried with Yuan Shao, he needn't be in a hurry.

"What about being a nobleman?"

"As a nobleman, I know that recruiting Yuan Shao to appease Yuan Shao is definitely not a permanent solution, and it is also impossible." Xun Wenqian withdrew her gaze, her expression unchanged. "Yuan Shao has been firmly bound by the people of Jizhou. War or peace is probably not something he can decide. The people of Jizhou are tyrannical. Not only will they not tolerate Ruying people, they will not tolerate other people in the future. The wider the territory, the deeper the internal friction , like drinking poison to quench thirst, the more you drink, the quicker you will die."

Liu Xie thought of Liu Ye's prediction and couldn't help admiring secretly.

As expected of Xun Yu's daughter, a woman who can train Chen Tai is simply a female counselor.

In comparison, Fu Shou is far inferior to her.

"What else?" Liu Xie asked again.

He could tell that Xun Wenqian was still thinking about it, and he was just watching his reaction before deciding whether to say it or not.

"Then His Majesty dispatched his troops to the east and flattened Shandong just like Qin destroyed the six kingdoms. Of course, the concubine is not an appropriate analogy. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and Shandong is just a prince, not the relationship between Qin and the Six Kingdoms. It's just that Shandong has been fighting for a long time. The material resources are exhausted, and His Majesty has no choice but to recuperate for at least [-] to [-] years, and as many as [-] or [-] years, before he can conquer the east and west and open up the four barbarians."

"But I was already old at that time." Liu Xie nodded Xun Wenqian's nose and smiled softly. "Right?"

"Your Majesty will not grow old." Xun Wenqian blushed slightly. "But the concubine must be old, and may not be able to see His Majesty's great achievements in the world."

"You may not be able to see it, but Artest will definitely be able to see it." Liu Xie said quietly: "And he is still an important participant in this great cause."

Xun Wenqian rolled her eyes and said with a soft smile, "That's not bad."

"But Artest alone is not enough." Liu Xie picked up Xun Wenqian and put it on his chest. "Brothers fighting tigers, father and son soldiers. You have to work harder, and add a few more siblings for Artest."

Xun Wenqian blushed, but did not back down, and said in a low voice, "I dare not follow the imperial edict."

-

Giving up the psychological burden of quick success, and with the belief that success doesn't have to be in me, Liu Xie's whole life has become much easier.

Lingering with Xun Wenqian, embraced and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, he was full of energy and got up on time, ready to practice martial arts.

Wang Yue, Cao Ang and others were already waiting outside, talking softly.Cao Ang looked sad and shook his head from time to time.

Liu Xie saw it, but didn't say anything. He looked around and said, "Where is Kong Ming?"

Wang Yue was a little surprised, and stepped forward to salute. "Your Majesty, Kong Ming is an attendant, so he doesn't need to participate in morning exercises. Besides, he sorted out the documents last night and slept very late. I'm afraid he hasn't woken up yet."

"Go and wake him up." Liu Xie's voice was not high, but there was no doubt about it. "From now on, take part in morning exercises."

"Wei." Although Wang Yue didn't understand, he still asked someone to call Zhuge Liang.

The waiter does not have to participate in the morning exercise, but he did not say that he cannot participate in the morning exercise.Since the emperor has an edict, obey it.

When Yang Xiu was serving as a servant before, he participated in morning exercises many times, and he asked for it on his own initiative.

The emperor specially asked Zhuge Liang to participate in morning exercises, which shows that he looks at this newcomer Zhuge Liang differently.

Liu Xie first did some warm-up exercises, stretched his muscles and bones, and then started his daily morning exercises.Halfway through the journey, Zhuge Liang hurried over, looking a little tired, with dark circles around his eyes.

He rushed to Liu Xie and bowed his hands to salute.

"When did you sleep yesterday?"

Zhuge Liang thought for a while. "The first ugly moment."

"In the future, unless you are on night duty, you are not allowed to be later than the end of Haishi. Get up in the early morning and participate in morning exercises."

Zhuge Liang was stunned, and looked at Liu Xie puzzled.He could understand that Liu Xie asked him to participate in morning exercises, but he didn't understand why Liu Xie didn't let him sleep too late.After all, for his age, a night without sleep is enough.

Liu Xie waved his hand without explaining. "Go to practice Wu Qin Xi twice, exercise your body, and then take part in morning exercises."

Although Zhuge Liang was puzzled, he still surrendered.

"Wei." He thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, I just received the news last night that Chen Deng was defeated by Zhang Ying and Gao Lan, and the whole army was wiped out. Except for Chen Deng himself who was captured, no one survived. Tanxian, Xia Pi has fallen, and Pengcheng has become an isolated city."
