Showdown: I'm Reborn

Chapter 209 Talking about the general trend of the world, the long-term must be united

early April

At night, a solitary oil lamp stood on the desk, and the area that the soybean-sized light could illuminate was really limited.

Even so, not everyone can afford the luxury of an oil lamp, especially the oil lamp in front of Chu Xuan. It is said that the lamp oil inside has been specially processed, and it smells not only has no peculiar smell but also exudes a faint fragrance , has a refreshing effect.

On the desk, there were not a lot of books, and there were not many blank papers. Common desk necessities such as pens, inks, papers and inkstones did not appear in front of Chu Xuan.

At this moment, Chu Xuan rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms, holding a carving knife in one hand and a wooden board in the other.

And on the table in front of him, there were boards one after another.These planks were temporarily made by Chu Xuan after letting the descendants cut down trees in the past few days, which prevented anyone from finding Chu Xuan's head through the planks in the future.

Tuk Tuk Tuk

This is the sound made when the knife is carved into the wood. Along with the noise, inscriptions appear on the wooden board one after another.

The inscribed characters are the characters engraved on the seal. They look upside down from the normal characters, so at first glance, they may not be recognizable, but if you look closely, people who can read can basically recognize them.

After the seal is stained with ink, a few words can be printed with a light touch against white paper or other paper or cloth.

This is actually the prototype of woodblock printing!

The famous Xiping Stone Classics is just like this!

Cai Yong and other great Confucians engraved the corrected classics such as the Five Classics on stones in intaglio, and those students who came to pay their respects and study could hold white paper and cloth, stick ink on them, and Just click on the stone, and then there will be the official corrected version of the Five Classics.

And Chu Xuan's job at the moment is similar. He is making engravings. When the engravings are finished, he can just print directly on the white paper with ink.

If it is an ordinary person, even a skilled old worker, there may only be one version a day. After all, carving wood is also very laborious, and you have to pay attention to precision, which is very troublesome.

And Chu Xuan is not an ordinary person, he is an extraordinary person, not just an ordinary extraordinary person, but a powerful extraordinary person, so, in almost a moment, he completed the first engraving.

Three Kingdoms
After engraving these four big characters, Chu Xuan nodded and continued engraving.

the river is long and tempestuous, it was like a hero. Success or failure turned empty. Aoyama is still there, How Many Suns.

White-haired fisherman Qiao Jiangzhu, used to watch the autumn moon and spring breeze.A pot of muddy wine rejoiced to meet each other.Many things, ancient and modern, are in the middle of a joke.

After engraving the poem Linjiangxian in smaller characters, Chu Xuan looked at the cover again, thought about it, and left an author's name at the bottom: The descendant!
After blowing on the sawdust, Chu Xuan picked up the second board and continued to carve:
Speaking of the general trend of the world, the long-term division must be united, and the long-term union must be divided.Seven countries fought over the weekend and merged into Qin.After the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, Chu and Han were divided and merged into Han.

The Han Dynasty revolted from the ancestor Gaozu who cut the white snake, and unified the world. Later, Guangwu Zhongxing was passed on to Emperor Xiandi, and then divided into three kingdoms.The reason why it caused the chaos almost began with the two emperors Huan and Ling.

Emperor Huan imprisoned good people and worshiped eunuchs.When Emperor Huan died, Emperor Ling ascended the throne, and General Dou Wu and Grand Tutor Chen Fan assisted him.From time to time, eunuchs Cao Jie and others exercised power, and Dou Wu and Chen Fan conspired to kill them. The secrets were not kept secret, and they were harmed instead.

When Chu Xuan carved the above content, Yuan Shao, Xu You, Guo Tu and others were gathering in a certain room of the General's Mansion to discuss the current situation.

"Your Majesty feels that the prince's arguments are frivolous and not enough to rule the world. He wants to appoint the prince as the prince, but he is vacillating and has not yet made a decision."

"However, Jian Shuo, the captain of the Shangjun Academy, frequently suggested to the emperor that Han Sui was causing the rebellion and wanted the general to put down the rebellion."

"This is not the first time the Captain of the Military Academy has suggested this, but this is the first time the Son of Heaven has agreed."

At this point, Guo Tu shut up.

Smart people will definitely understand Guo Tu's thoughts when they hear this. If they can't understand their own thoughts after hearing this, then there is no need to communicate.

But at this moment, Yan Liangwen and Chou were guarding the door, the world was so big, it was impossible for anyone to bypass the two of them to peep.

The room was full of Yuan Shao and his little friends, basically they were the core figures in Yuan Shao's circle, they were all their own people, and they were all smart people.

However, different from Guo Tu's cautiousness, Xu You just pinched his beard and laughed, "The aristocratic family is different. They always talk like this, not straightforward enough, and there are so many rules."

Hearing this, Guo Tu acted as if he hadn't heard it. He stroked his beard and looked at the ground motionless. As long as you didn't mention my name, it wasn't me.

perfect!

Looking at Guo Tu who didn't respond, Xu You also felt bored, so he turned around and said to Yuan Shao, "At first, the emperor's life is not long!"

The Yellow Turban Rebellion was put down by the great general He Jin.That said, no problem!

Of course, those who despise He Jin can say that this is because He Jin’s staff put forward correct suggestions, this is all because of the strength of the Han Dynasty, and this is all...

Just have a hand!

This is the main point of view of those who despise He Jin, but even if they have hands, even putting a pig on it can put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but this is indeed the huge prestige that He Jin brings.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Emperor Ling has been afraid of He Jin.

And Liu Bian's biological mother is Empress He, and Empress He is He Jin's younger sister. If Liu Bian is allowed to ascend the throne, then He Jin will definitely become a powerful minister, and no one can change this.

He Jin must be very satisfied with such a future.

The scholars behind He Jin were also very satisfied.

But Emperor Ling was very dissatisfied!
Therefore, Emperor Ling has always had the idea of ​​making Liu Xie the crown prince, but Liu Bian is the queen's son, and he is also older than Liu Xie. eldest son.

Under the background of the eldest son inheritance system, if the eldest son did not make a mistake, I would say that you are too stupid, and I think your IQ is not enough to inherit the world.

Such a reason cannot convince the people of the world!
Therefore, all along, Lingdi has been letting out rumors, wanting to see what the big guys think about Liu Xie's superior position.

And all along, Emperor Ling was just probing, and didn't think about tearing his face apart, but at this moment, Emperor Ling suddenly agreed with the suggestion of Captain Jian Shuo of the Military Academy, and really wanted He Jin to leave Luoyang and go to the land of Xiliang to suppress the rebellion. Not normal!

This amounts to an ultimatum!

If Emperor Ling is still very healthy and has many years to live, then why is he in a hurry?He Jin's power can be reduced bit by bit through normal tactics to achieve a smooth transition.

Just like Li Er, if he hadn't lost all hope in politics, how could he fight to the death and launch the Xuanwu Gate Incident?

At that time, as long as Li Er had the slightest hope of becoming the prince politically, he would not launch the Xuanwumen Change in despair!
(Although it succeeded later, before launching the coup, Li Er must have considered what would happen if he failed. This was a last stand for him.)
Therefore, Jian Shuo has been making suggestions to transfer He Jin away, which is no problem, he is an eunuch, he is the confidant of Emperor Ling, and for the sake of Emperor Ling, no matter how you look at it, it is no problem.

The problem is, why did your Lingdi suddenly agree?

You are the Son of Heaven, under righteousness, you cut off He Jin's left arm today, his right arm tomorrow, his shoes the day after tomorrow, and his thigh the day after tomorrow, weakening him bit by bit. This is the way of kingship.

Just like the Emperor Ling established the Eighth Colonel of Xiyuan before, even if He Jinming knew that the Xiyuan Army was to divide his military power, he could only accept this reality.

If the Son of Heaven practices this kingly way, no matter how many ideas the scholars have, there is nothing they can do about it, because this is a conspiracy!
Yangmou is hard to resist!
The life of the Son of Heaven is not long!

When Xu You said this through the loudspeaker, everyone in the room reacted. As for Yan Liangwenchou who was guarding the door, he couldn't help being shocked.

Good guy!
Good guy!
The emperor is going to die?This is Yan Liangwen's ugly reaction.

Can you say this directly?Without etiquette, he is indeed a traitor and a fanatic!Only this kind of lunatic can plan to rebel and kill the emperor five years ago.This is Guo Tu.

You are still useful, so I will quietly watch your performance without saying anything.This is Yuan Shao.

"So, at the beginning, you only need to procrastinate on the grounds of Qingxu Huangjin's resurgence."

The Yellow Turban Uprising broke out again in Qingzhou and Xuzhou. This is not new news. After the Yellow Turban Uprising, the land annexation went further, and the common people couldn't live anymore. Wouldn't they have to rebel?

Therefore, large-scale rebellions all over the country happened one after another, and they never stopped at all.

"It doesn't matter what the reason is, and it doesn't matter whether the reason is convincing. The important thing is that we need a reason to delay the time. The key now is to spend it. After all, His Majesty can't wait for the general."

Hearing this, Yuan Shao nodded slightly: "When the emperor dies and the prince succeeds, the general will be able to wipe out the eunuchs completely and usher in the world of scholars like us."

While Yuan Shao was thinking about the future, Chu Xuan had finished engraving the second edition, even with a picture, and now he is engraving the third edition:
In April of the second year of Jianning, Wangri was in the Emperor Wende Hall.Fang Shengzuo, the corner of the hall suddenly blew up. ...

In the first year of Guanghe, the female chicken turned into a male.On the first day of June, more than ten feet of black air flew into Wende Hall.In autumn and July, a rainbow appears in Yutang; the banks of Wuyuan Mountain are all cracked.All kinds of ominous things don't stop at one end.

The emperor issued an edict to ask the officials about the cause of the disaster, and Cai Yong, the commentator, made a statement, thinking that the transformation of the neon into a chicken was caused by the interference of the women's temple, and his words were quite straightforward.Di Lanzuo sighed, because he changed his clothes.Cao Jie peeked behind him and announced to his left and right; then he was convicted of other things and released back to the field... The government is changing day by day, so that people in the world are confused and thieves are flocking.

When Chu Xuan was carving the third block, Xiong Yan went out with the first block, and then started to print with ink.

This wave, it's crazy, it's really well done!

This test might really be able to test out the background of the Han Dynasty and the family.

Whether it is a mule or a horse, emergencies can often test the true strength of a city, a country or an organization.

The same catastrophe broke out suddenly, and the performance of a magic city in a certain place can shock the world for 100 years!

And Chu Xuan dropped such a wave of big bombs, how many raptors hidden in the depths of the water can be exploded, it's really hard to say.

However, through the response speed of various families and courts, it is possible to simply infer their degree of organization and infer their relevant data.

It is even possible to judge the basic action capabilities of each family and the hidden background behind them through the efficiency and scale of their subsequent search methods.

This wave is just a depth charge, and everyone can see what it has!

All I can say is that it is indeed Chu Xuan!
Just when Xiong Yan was praising Chu Xuan for being amazing, in a palace somewhere in the palace, Lingdi was lying on the hospital bed, his breathing seemed to be very weak, surrounded by a lot of natural resources and earthly treasures.

At this moment, Emperor Ling relies on natural materials and earth treasures to continue his life, even he himself doesn't know how many days he has to live.

"How did the general react?"

"The general hasn't responded yet, but his staff Yuan Shao and others have been discussing. Yan Liang, Wen Chou are blocking the door, and we don't know more detailed information. But what is certain is that tomorrow at the latest, they will definitely refuse " Zhang Rang said directly.

Emperor Ling sighed, and then asked, "Where's the queen?"

"Your Majesty has sealed off the palace where she is. Unless His Majesty gives an edict, no one will see her or listen to anyone."

"Where is Xie'er?"

"This afternoon, the Empress Dowager said that she missed her grandson, so she summoned His Highness, but His Highness has not returned yet, and the palace servants said that they are accompanying the Empress Dowager, so they will not be coming back today."

"Where are the scholars?"

"The Yuan family is still Yuan Ji sitting in the mansion, without any action, while Yuan Shao is gathering his confidantes and conducting frequent secret discussions, and Yuan Shu is gathering hundreds of rangers, with unknown intentions. Yang's..."

(In the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, it was common to call other people’s names, and it was very impolite to yell their names, and it was equivalent to being insulted to other people. If you don’t give an explanation, he can come to you directly Singled out.

But Zhang Rang was an eunuch, and the relationship between Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao was already very bad, let alone in front of Emperor Ling, there was no need to give Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao face. )
Between the question and the answer, Emperor Ling knew the current situation. With just a few breaths, Emperor Ling came up with more than one way to deal with it, but just when he was about to issue orders, he couldn't help coughing , This time even coughed up blood.

Looking at the coughed up blood, Emperor Ling was stunned for a moment, while Zhang Rang knelt on the ground and dared not make any sound: "I never thought that I'm already so old, and I don't have much time left."

"Your Majesty, Changle Weiyang, is the son of heaven, and he will surely be blessed for a long time..."

"If God gives me another ten years, no, even five years, I will be able to reduce the power of the general, and I will be able to make Xie'er the crown prince, not to mention Lao Shizi, the state shepherd."

"Does Liu Junlang (Liu Yan) think that I don't know what he really thinks? Isn't he just thinking that the land of Yizhou has the emperor's spirit, and wants to block the land of Hanzhong, and then enclose the land and become king. If it weren't for my health, I would have It makes people kill them.”

Liu Yan is the governor of Yizhou!
Liu Dai is the governor of Yanzhou!
Liu Yu is the governor of Youzhou!
In the future, Liu Biao will also become the shepherd of Jingzhou.

Liu Yao will be the governor of Yangzhou in the future!
But why the surname Liu is not good enough!
"Does He Jin think that I don't know what he really thinks? But can he beat a scholar? I can't even fight with the dignity of the emperor. Why should he? With his power or his status as a general? It's just seeking skin from a tiger! "

"and also……"
