Chapter 995

When Liu Xie received Sangong's reply, he also received Kong Rong's Lubu letter.

At first, he didn't realize the intention behind this, but out of instinctive vigilance against these old Confucian scholars, he didn't make a judgment immediately, but thought about it for a while.

When Yang Biao came to see him, Liu Xie conveyed the matter to Yang Biao in a very calm manner.

Yang Biao's complexion changed at that time, his eyebrows and eyes raised, and he was almost about to swear.

Liu Xie was curious, but he didn't rush to ask questions, but just looked at Yang Biao quietly.

It took Yang Biao a lot of effort to suppress the anger in his heart, and said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, Kong Rong is a crazy student. Although he is knowledgeable, he has little experience in governance. This suggestion seems feasible, but it is extremely difficult to implement. At least It's not feasible right now."

Liu Xie refused to let it go easily, and motioned Yang Biao to speak clearly.

Yang Biao sighed helplessly. "Your Majesty, Emperor Xiaohuan reigned for twenty-two years. The first fourteen years were controlled by the Liang family, and the last eight years were trapped by eunuchs and Qiang chaos. Lai Duanjiong was good at fighting and pacified the Eastern Qiang, but he also emptied the treasury and even the officials of the capital The salary cannot be paid in time. When Xiaoling came to the throne, the big man was already unable to make ends meet."

Liu Xie reacted.

On the surface, Kong Rong was complaining for Emperor Xiaoling.In fact, Kong Rong accused Emperor Xiaohuan of being aggressive, and this extended to the present situation where he continues to use troops.

I always use the past to describe the present, pointing at mulberry and scolding Huai.

But what he cares about is not these, but why Yang Biao is angry.

Although Yang Biao did not object to his pacification of Yizhou and Jiaozhou, he also had different opinions on conquests overseas, especially the use of troops in the Western Regions.

"Is Mr. Yang worried that I will be too angry?"

Yang Biao shook his head. "Your Majesty's temperament is beyond the reach of the old ministers, so why should you worry about it? It's just that the Xiaohuan Dynasty's government affairs are complicated and complicated, and it is inevitable that there will be things that you can't do. Now that your majesty is implementing a new policy, promoting the king's way, and taking care of everything, why should you be distracted by the [-]-year-old man?" Old things, in vain increase internal friction?"

"You mean, those officials attached to the Liang family?"

Yang Biao didn't speak, just sighed.

Liu Xie was taken aback and didn't say anything more.After a moment of silence, he said to Yang Biao again: "Mr. Yang, I have something to ask."

Yang Biao cupped his hands and said, "How dare I, but follow your Majesty's instructions."

"Think about it, why Liang Ji and his like were able to rule for nearly twenty years, even treasonously, killing the emperor with poison, but the sages couldn't control it, and how to avoid a similar situation from happening again. I don't want those empty words quoted from the classics, I want a practical explanation and solution."

Yang Biao raised his head in surprise, and looked at Liu Xie.

Liu Xie met his gaze with clear eyes and a sincere attitude without any perfunctory expression.

Yang Biao's heart was surging, and he bowed. "Your Majesty, please think twice."

"Please." Liu Xie bowed slightly.

Yang Biao got up to say goodbye, exited the big tent, looked up at the blue sky with white clouds, and showed a gratified smile on his face.

"It's very fortunate to be born in this world."

Yuan Heng put down the pen in his hand, got up and sent the daily life note that he had just recorded to Liu Xie, asking Liu Xie to look over it to see if there was any omission or corruption.

Liu Xie took it over and looked at it, then glanced at Yuan Heng.

"Tell me, who are the people attached to the Liang family that Yang Biao mentioned?"

Yuan Heng's eyes flickered, he thought for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Pursuing the past events of forty years ago is of no benefit except to put the ministers at risk. Compared with the past, the prosperity of the future Much more to look forward to."

Liu Xie couldn't help laughing out loud.

Although Yang Biao and Yuan Heng were unwilling to say anything, it didn't mean he knew nothing.

Domineering General Liang Ji Neng ruled the country as a dandy for nearly twenty years, and even did such a thing as poisoning the emperor. Those ministers who were in the same dynasty with him counted as one, and none of them were really innocent.

According to Confucian classics, it is a shame to be a courtier with someone like Liang Ji.If you can't rise up with your sword and eliminate harm for the court, you should clean yourself up and retire to the fields.

Those who stay in the court and do not leave, and do not break with Liang Ji, are all guilty.

But then again, as Yuan Heng said, if the water is pure, there will be no fish, and if people are holy, there will be no disciples. A gentleman in that sense is only in the imagination, and cannot live in reality.

This is the conflict between ideal and reality.

He is not so naive, nor is he so obsessed with moral cleanliness, he requires ministers to be pure moral gentlemen.He was just curious, how many of the ministers who are alive today have something to do with Liang Ji.

Considering that Liang Yi has been dead for forty years, there should not be many people who have direct contact with Liang Ji.But in the officialdom, fathers and sons often succeed each other, so it is not ruled out that many people's children are still in the court.

Especially those famous families.

For example, the Yuan family in front of him, Yuan Shao's nominal father, Yuan Chenggong, was once Liang Ji's confidant, and he would obey everything he said.

If you really want to rewrite the "Emperor Xiaohuan Ji", it is difficult to skip the matter of Liang Ji, and those who once attached to Liang Ji will be pulled out and flogged.With the current method of compiling history, it will be difficult to use the Spring and Autumn brushwork to be taboo for the sages.

Kong Rong wanted to remonstrate, but accidentally stabbed a hornet's nest, fearing that he would be scolded to death.

The more Liu Xie thought about it, the more interesting it became, and he was even a little proud.

Sure enough, the victor is stronger.

As long as I am open-minded and not afraid of your insinuations, all attacks will become assists, and all dangers will become opportunities.

"Preparing an imperial edict, summoning Kong Rong to go there." Liu Xie smiled slightly. "I want to reward this old minister who dares to speak up, and give him a heavy responsibility."

The corner of Yuan Heng's mouth twitched, and he bowed to accept the order.

-

According to Yang Biao's suggestion, those who once attached to Gongsundu were assigned to Sun Ce and Liu Bei's command, went overseas with the army, and were not allowed to re-enter the Central Plains for life.

The edict is very strict, but Liu Xie also knows that it is actually hard to say to what extent it can be implemented.

It is difficult to determine the standard of judging whether he is attached to Gongsun Du or not, and in the end it depends on Xun You and others.

Even if he went to Liaodong himself, he would not be able to verify them one by one.

Instead of this, it is better to hand over this power to Xun You to show trust.

This is the helplessness of being an emperor.

Although he is superior, he is not the all-seeing eye, and it is impossible to cover everything and detail, and it is inevitable to be deceived by some ministers.

Therefore, he can only choose trustworthy ministers as much as possible to reduce the possibility of being deceived.

So far, although Xun You can't be regarded as obedient, he still knows the general situation.Du Tian in Hejian had already shown his attitude and proved his loyalty.

Of course, this loyalty is not without reason. It is more of a conceptual agreement and cooperation derived from common interests.

If it touches on Xun You's interests, or runs counter to his ideas, it will be unrealistic to expect his loyalty.

In the final analysis, common interests are the foundation.

His killer weapon is to expand this foundation as much as possible, to consolidate it as much as possible, to be based on the people, to be rooted in the people, to break the monopoly of knowledge and power by the scholar-bureaucrat class, and to push the Chinese civilization forward to another level. It's not about constantly wandering in the existing small circle.
