Chapter 609 Weeping with joy
Zhou Zhong mentioned the bad influence of Cao Cao's massacre of the city, and Liu Xie had to pay attention to it.

Zhuge Liang mentioned it once before.

Now Cao Cao is no longer Yuan Shao's other department, but the Yanzhou Shepherd appointed by the imperial court, stationed in Chenliu and Yingchuan.With the army heading east, Cao Cao is of course one of the main strikers.

However, the massacre was bad in nature and had a great impact. This time, it was under the banner of reinforcing Pengcheng. It seemed out of place for Cao Cao to be in it, which had a significant impact on the justice of the court.In the event of another vicious incident, it will definitely be used by Yuan Shao to create public opinion.

With Bingliang as the main force of the imperial court, it is easy to arouse the resentment of the people in Shandong, so he has to be cautious.

"Your words are reasonable." Liu Xie first affirmed Zhou Zhong's opinion, and then asked another question. "Qing came from Guanzhong, what is your impression of the Xiliang generals stationed in Guanzhong? In Qing's opinion, who is worthy to be a general and lead troops eastward?"

Zhou Zhong was overjoyed.After talking for so long, the emperor finally agreed to send troops to Shandong.

But when he heard the emperor's question, he frowned again.

To be honest, he was not satisfied with any of the generals in Guanzhong.Among other things, the hometown of Liangzhou alone does not make people feel good.Xie Guang and Xia Yu are both Guo Bang's former troops, and Han Sui was also a rebel in the past, so it is not reasonable to ask them to lead the troops eastward.

Zhou Zhong thought for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Your Majesty...why don't you do it yourself?"

Liu Xie secretly smiled in his heart, but his face remained calm, showing a hint of helplessness instead. "Why don't I want to do it myself. It's just that Liangzhou is initially settled, and the enlightenment has not yet been successful. If I leave, wouldn't all my previous efforts be wasted?"

"Cultivation can be entrusted to others." Zhou Zhong said unhurriedly: "Even if His Majesty values ​​Liangzhou and is not afraid of his hard work, he can entrust an experienced person to act according to the system set by His Majesty and not change it easily. Why do you have to experience it yourself."

Zhou Zhong raised his eyelids, stroked his beard, and smiled. "Could it be that His Majesty can't find anyone he can trust?"

Liu Xie also smiled, meeting Zhou Zhong's gaze. "Liangzhou's people are tough, easy to move and difficult to settle down, not like Shandong. Among other things, after Wei Duan resigned, even a qualified governor of Liangzhou can't be found now. How can I rest assured?"

Zhou Zhong was at a loss for words for a while.

He originally wanted to join Liu Xie's army, indicating that Liu Xie should trust the minister and not monopolize power. He should hand over Liangzhou to other people and lead the army on his own.But after listening to Liu Xie's question, he couldn't answer it.

Liangzhou governor is not easy to do.How Wei Duan left office, he knows a thing or two.The emperor obviously didn't want to set up the governor of Liangzhou so that Yang Xiu could do whatever he wanted. Who would want to be the governor of Liangzhou?
He didn't have the courage either.

It is really unreasonable to be exempted from being a pastor of Yuzhou just now, and now to recommend himself as the governor of Liangzhou.

Zhou Zhong blinked his eyelids, and said again: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what kind of person is a qualified governor of Liangzhou?"

"It's easy to say, Wen Neng can educate, and Wu Neng town can do it." Liu Xie raised a finger. "In the final analysis, it's just a word of benevolence."

Zhou Zhong raised his eyebrows lightly, his expression became serious.As a disciple of Confucianism, Zhou Zhong naturally attaches great importance to benevolence, but the word benevolence is very common and has many meanings.Not only Confucianism values ​​benevolence, but Mohism and Huang Lao all value benevolence. He doesn't know what the emperor means by benevolence.

Looking at what the Son of Heaven did, he seems to have more respect for Legalism than Confucianism.

"May I ask Your Majesty, is this benevolence... the benevolence that the Master said?"

"Yes, and more than that."

Zhou Zhong's face changed slightly, and after a moment of pondering, he got up and left the table, bowing solemnly to salute. "I am stupid, thinking that the benevolence that the master said is all-encompassing, and I don't know the rest. Dare to ask your majesty to elaborate."

Liu Xie sized Zhou Zhong up for a moment, frowning.

On the battlefield, Zhou Zhong's combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning.When he arrived at the court hall, when he mentioned the saint and the master, he was resurrected with full blood.

"Sit down, sir." Liu Xie waved his hands, his expression slightly cold. "I have no intention of arguing with Qing. When I defeated Li Jue, Guo Si, and Xianbei again, I did not rely on the words of the saints, but the soldiers used their lives and united as one."

Startled, Zhou Zhong raised his head and looked at Liu Xie.

He didn't expect Liu Huihui to speak so bluntly, without any cover-up, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

Is it a stern refutation, or a protest and blunt speech, or is it a good word to persuade and follow each other?
"Master also said that having a king in Yi and Di is not as good as having no king in Xia." Liu Xie snorted and laughed at himself: "In other words, although Liangzhou has an emperor, it is not as good as Shandong without a king. If this is the case, why should you bother?" It's a lot of trouble, so it doesn't matter if Shandong has no king for a long time."

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhou Zhong's forehead, and then condensed into bean-sized beads of sweat, which rolled down his cheeks.

He prostrated himself on the ground and bowed again, his head banging on the ground. "Your Majesty, the people of Shandong have heard of His Majesty's great victory, and they all look forward to it. They look forward to His Majesty's Eastern Expedition and relieve the people from the upside down. How can they have the heart of a king? I dare to ask Your Majesty to take back this statement, so as not to hurt the hearts of the people. "

"Really?" Liu Xie laughed twice. "It's been more than half a year since my great victory, why did I receive a congratulatory form from Shandong Prefecture and County." He raised his hand and patted a pile of memorials on the table. "Instead of asking for soldiers to summon Yuan Shao into the court, one after another, it is confusing. I would like to ask Qing to guess, what kind of people are they, who will defend Yuan Shao so much?"

Zhou Zhong didn't dare to speak anymore, he sweated layer after layer, soaking his clothes.

He heard the emperor's dissatisfaction, and even heard the emperor's killing intent.

He realizes a problem.Although the emperor in front of him is young, he is not a young master who has no power to restrain a chicken, but a master who has a hundred thousand and elites in his hand, and can make Lu Bu, Han Sui and others bow their heads and proclaim themselves ministers.If you really want to annoy him and send your troops to march eastward recklessly, the prefectures and counties in Shandong will surely face a catastrophe, and most of the governors, state shepherds, and county guards will die.

Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, there are not many counties in Shandong that really regard the court as the court.

"Okay, get up." Liu Xie sighed. "Qing is also a pastor of Yuzhou. You should know that it is not something ordinary people can do. You can't do it, and I can't do it. You have to read the scriptures and listen to the words of the sages, but what you should do Things have to be done, not just one copy of "Spring and Autumn" can bring order to the world."

Zhou Zhong got up, and just about to explain the names, Liu Xie said another sentence quietly. "Di Shan can't defend a barrier, and Xiang Xu can't retreat a single soldier. If anyone still thinks that knowing the scriptures can govern the country, you might as well think about Di Shan and Xiang Xu. I just defeated Xianbei in the west, and there is a shortage of people to guard the border. The more the better."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhong felt guilty.With a trembling of his arms and a soft knee, he fell to the ground with a "plop", grabbing the ground with his face.His nose was sore, and tears welled up involuntarily.

Liu Xie stepped forward to help Zhou Zhong up, seeing Zhou Zhong in tears, he couldn't help being surprised.

"My dear, this is..."

Zhou Zhong was so embarrassed that he stammered and said: "Hearing His Majesty's words, I suddenly realized that I was crying with joy, crying with joy."
