Han Dao world

Chapter 644 I, Chu Ziye

Liu Xie knew for a long time whether Huang Chengyan was a hermit or not, but he was definitely not a celebrity in the ordinary sense.

This is a very alternative, non-mainstream celebrity.

Even if he has other ideas, it is not something that ordinary people can do to send a daughter to marry for thousands of miles.

This point is the same as Zhuge Liang living in Xiangyang, but "living in seclusion" in Longzhong.

When dealing with such a person, you can't follow the rules, you must surprise and win.

He attended in place of Zhuge Liang's elders as the father-in-law. He seemed to be messing around, but he cast Huang Chengyan's temper.

The two put their hands in the hall, and the guests and the host took their seats.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong sat beside Liu Xie, and Mrs. Cai and Huang Yueying sat beside Huang Chengyan, all at a loss.Even though Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Xie was not a man of etiquette, he was at a loss by Liu Xie's actions.

"Huang Jun's trip to the west was several days longer than expected, did he encounter trouble?" Liu Xie cut to the chase and asked his own question.

Zhuge Liang walked this road and had an accurate estimate of the itinerary of Huang Chengyan and his party.In fact, there was a huge deviation. Huang Chengyan and others were late for more than half a month, so that Zhuge Liang had to use his identity as a loose rider to understand.

After eliminating the troubles, there was only one explanation, and Huang Chengyan spent a lot of time understanding the situation.

Huang Chengyan also knew Liu Xie's intentions, and said frankly: "After crossing the Han River, the journey was safe and without any trouble. It's just the first time I went out to see the scenery along the way, which delayed the time."

Liu Xie took advantage of the situation and asked, "How is the scenery along the way?"

Huang Chengyan smacked his lips. "Some surprises."

"Oh?"

“I thought that Guanzhong was the hometown of Zhou and Qin, and it was once the capital of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Xie nodded. "If Huang Jun had come two years earlier, he might have seen people eat each other."

Huang Chengyan's expression froze, but Madam Cai and Huang Yueying's expressions changed.

They are no strangers to what the three words "human cannibalism" represent.

But they also knew that this was not Liu Xie's alarmist talk.People living in Jingzhou have said that during the reign of Dong Zhuo and Li Jue, Guanzhong suffered major disasters, and cannibalism is not a fiction, but a real tragedy.

It's just that they didn't see such a tragic situation along the way, so they didn't think about it.After being reminded by Liu Xieyi, they suddenly realized that they were now in the land of tigers and wolves, and they couldn't help feeling horrified.

"Life is very fragile, peace is also very fragile, and morality is even more fragile." Liu Xie Youyou said: "No matter how rich the place is, as long as it is built for a few years, it will be deserted and full of lemmings. All morals and ethics will disappear. Everyone is a beast. Guanzhong is like this, and Kanto is no exception. The reason why Kanto can still talk about it is that Kanxi and Guanzhong have endured hardships and blocked the harsh Hu Feng."

Huang Chengyan smiled bitterly.He understood Liu Xie's implication.

The reason why Jingzhou is stable is not natural, nor will it be forever.

If the people in the Kanto think that the affairs of Guanzhong and Liangzhou have nothing to do with them, they can hang it high, maybe one day Liangzhou soldiers will go east and turn Kanto into a battlefield, and the tragedy of cannibalism will not only occur in Guanzhong , will also appear in Kanto Mountain.

"Your Majesty is so murderous." Mrs. Cai couldn't help but ridicule.

Liu Xie glanced at Mrs. Cai's well-maintained face, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

"Chuo Jing has never met a nobleman, so I ask Your Majesty to forgive me for my words." Huang Chengyan bowed to apologize, but there was no shame on his face.

"It doesn't matter." Liu Xie said lightly: "Mr. Huang must have heard that I have always respected that men and women are the same, and I don't agree with the idea that men are outsiders and women are inside. As long as what is said is reasonable, why bother to distinguish who said it?" .”

Madam Cai smiled. "Does Your Majesty think what I said is reasonable?"

"That makes sense." Liu Xie nodded. "After all, I'm still not good enough, more domineering than kingly, and my murderous intent is indeed a bit heavier. But..." Liu Xie changed the subject and laughed again. "Having a strong murderous intent also has its advantages. At least no one will speak quickly in front of me. If it weren't for this, and there is no difference between men and women, those moral people would drown me with their saliva."

Mrs. Cai was at a loss for words and looked a little embarrassed.

Even though she was sharp-tongued, she couldn't deny that Liu Xie was right.If it weren't for the prestige brought by Liu Xie's impressive achievements to firmly suppress the ministers, his New Deal would be impossible to talk about, and it would be nonsense to say that men and women are not different.

There is no new trend that men and women are indiscriminate, even if she has a high status in the family, she will not ignore Huang Chengyan's face and speak out in front of the emperor.

It was the emperor's murderous intent that gave her the opportunity to satirize the emperor's murderous intent.

When you think about it that way, her sarcasm seems extraordinarily ironic.

"Civilization must be protected by force or even barbarism. The truth is so cruel." Liu Xie spread his hands and smiled. "Huang Jun, are you a little disappointed?"

Huang Chengyan had regained his composure, and said with a smile: "I, Chu Zi, even though I don't read books, I still understand the principle that fighting is fighting and seven virtues are treasure."

Liu Xie nodded slightly. "This is one of the reasons why I regard Huang Jun as my comrade. Although the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, the simplicity of Chu is also indispensable, not all the grace of Zhou. Nowadays, people in the world value literature, respect elegance, and despise martial arts. I am I don’t quite agree. Advocating morality and martial arts, reforging the soul of a soldier is the real kingly way. I would like to encourage you with Huang Jun.”

Huang Chengyan clapped his hands and smiled. "What His Majesty said deeply touched my heart."

Mrs. Cai and Huang Yueying glanced at each other and laughed silently.

The emperor's words and deeds are indeed very displeased with Huang Chengyan.Even with Zhuge Liang, Huang Chengyan was never so happy.

Coming to Guanzhong this time is the right choice.

Pang Tong listened to it and was also secretly happy.He is not the kind of Confucian scholar who advances and retreats with courtesy, and appreciates the emperor's straightforwardness very much.It is conceivable that this time he came to Guanzhong, he would never be ignored by everyone like he was in Jingzhou.

Liu Xie expressed his attitude and reached an agreement with Huang Chengyan, and the subsequent discussion went relatively smoothly.Although the opinions may not be unified, both parties can talk with a candid and equal attitude and talk happily.

The topic started from the situation in Guanzhong, and soon turned to the situation in the whole world.

Huang Chengyan asked Liu Xie directly, how to deal with the Kanto clan in the future?
Undoubtedly, this is a core issue that countless people are concerned about, not only related to those noble families, but also to countless local tyrants, such as families like the Cai family and the Kuai family in Xiangyang, and even small and medium-sized families like the Pang family and the Xi family. Powerful.

According to the land-duty order, they have more or less occupied land in violation of the system.

This is also the issue that Huang Chengyan has been most concerned about along the way.

If the land merger is not resolved, it will be difficult for the big man to rejuvenate.

If the land annexation is resolved, the big and small aristocratic families and the powerful will all oppose it, and the world will be in trouble.

Huang Chengyan couldn't think of a feasible solution.

Pragmatically, he knows very well that it is easy to say that it is easy to suppress mergers, but it is difficult to do it.

Facing Huang Chengyan's question, Liu Xie said frankly: "I originally wanted to drive away tigers and devour wolves and stop fighting with martial arts, but now it seems that I may not be able to do it. Huang Jun came at the right time, you may as well give me some advice."
