Fantasy Three Kingdoms: Four knots in Taoyuan at the beginning

Chapter 142 Chapter 139

Since the young lady was shy and unwilling to come out, Chen Yuan didn't force her.

"Junior Sister, Senior Brother is gone, come visit me another day."

After speaking, Chen Yuan turned back to Cai Yong's study.

Cai Wenji was in the boudoir, her face was blushing, and her heart seemed to be beating back and forth like a little rabbit.

Thinking of Chen Yuan's actions just now, he couldn't help cursing secretly.

What a color embryo.

His face became even more blushing, and he walked towards the bed involuntarily.

After Chen Yuan bid farewell to Cai Yong, he went home.

Although this trip was not for war, Chen Yuan was also in a hurry, so he was quite tired.

After returning home, I had a good sleep.

The next day, Liu Bei sent someone to invite Chen Yuan to the state pastoral mansion, saying that he had some important business to discuss.

When Chen Yuan came to the State Shepherd's Mansion, he was really surprised.

Because Liu Bei only called himself.

This shouldn’t be true. It stands to reason that there should be many talents.

Seeing Liu Bei's solemn expression again, Chen Yuan instinctively felt something was wrong.

Today Liu Bei seems to be extraordinarily serious.

What is this for?
Chen Yuan bowed to Liu Bei suspiciously: "Brother, why did you call me here?"

Liu Bei nodded, motioned Chen Yuan to sit down, and then ordered all the servants to go out, and asked Dian Wei to guard the door, and no one was allowed to enter without his consent.

Seeing Liu Bei's solemnity, Chen Yuan thought that something important had happened, and his expression became solemn.

After Dian Wei went out to close the door and guarded it, Liu Bei looked at Chen Yuan: "Fourth brother, I have a question for you today, please answer my brother truthfully."

Chen Yuan was at a loss at this time, he didn't know what Liu Bei was doing for such a big fight.

But Chen Yuan was right, he didn't do anything shameful.

Therefore, Chen Yuan said calmly: "Brother, you can speak up if you have something to say, and Yuan will definitely answer truthfully."

Liu Bei nodded.

"Since that's the case, big brother asks you, do you have an emperor in your heart?"

Chen Yuan was taken aback: "Why did the eldest brother say that?"

Liu Bei glanced at Chen Yuan, and decided to speak tactfully.

"Fourth brother, a descendant of a downcast clan in Zhuo County, Beiben, if there were no wars in this world, and the empire would still be strong and prosperous, it would be enough for Bei to become the prefect of a county in his life.

However, the Yellow Turbans became chaotic and the people were dying. In order to protect the peace of the country, Bei and Zichu you and the other three became brothers, took up swords and guns, gathered the courage of the village, and became a general.

With your help, we pacified the Yellow Turban, Bei became the shepherd of Jingzhou, and restored the title of our ancestors.

In Bei's view, this is enough.

For the rest of my life, as long as my brothers can manage Jingzhou well, and even further assist the emperor to bring peace to the world, this life will not be in vain.

But Bei has absolutely no thought of usurping, let alone the idea of ​​emperor.

Liu Bei was a Hanchen all his life.

Big brother said so, fourth brother, can you understand? "

Chen Yuan suddenly realized.

Liu Bei is panicking.

Because some of Chen Yuan's actions were indeed pushing Liu Bei to that supreme position.

Liu Bei had no intention of becoming emperor at this time.

After thinking about this matter, Chen Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.

He thought what happened to Liu Bei, but it turned out to be this matter.

Chen Yuan had already made preparations, and Chen Yuan also wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Liu Bei.

Because there are still many policies in the future, if Liu Bei's knot cannot be solved, there will definitely be big problems later.

Chen Yuan nodded: "Yuan already understands what elder brother said, but how does elder brother think today?"

Liu Bei frowned when he heard this.

This is not easy to say.

The posthumous title of Emperor Ling of Han says it all.

If you don't work hard, you become famous as a spirit.

To die and to achieve success is called spirit.

Seeing the dead can be called the spirit.

Chaos without harming the spirit.

It is good to offer sacrifices to ghosts and ghosts.

I know very well that ghosts and gods are called spirits.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty obtained chaos without loss.

Ling, as a posthumous name, has the meaning of absurd nonsense and mischief.

Although Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty took some measures to restrain the powerful family, it cannot be said that he is a wise emperor.

Suppressing a powerful family is something any normal emperor would do.

Because the powerful family is competing with the emperor and the court for resources, land and population.

It is necessary to restrain them.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sold his officials, favored eunuchs, and even implemented party bans. In fact, these behaviors are not evidence that he is not a qualified emperor.

The most stupid trick of Emperor Han Ling was to allow local tyrants to recruit troops on their own to suppress the Yellow Turbans.

This is the fundamental reason why Han Lingdi could not become a qualified emperor.

Doting favors on eunuchs, selling officials to sell nobles, and even party imprisonment are all behaviors to curb powerful families. As an emperor, this is normal.

But allowing local tyrants to recruit troops on their own, the consequence of this move is to make the local power expand dramatically.

To be honest, this trick has more serious consequences than the implementation of the state pastoral system.

The implementation of the state pastoral system, the original intention of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was to let the Liu family guard the world.

At the beginning, the state herdsmen who were sealed off were basically the Liu family.

For example, Liu Yan, Liu Yu, Liu Dai, Liu Yao, Liu Biao and so on.

It was only later that the situation changed that people from powerful families began to serve as state shepherds.

Therefore, Emperor Han Ling is not qualified as the son of heaven.

But for Liu Bei, no matter what Emperor Han Ling did, as a clan member of the Han family, Jingzhou Mu, Liu Bei could not criticize him.

Therefore, Liu Bei could only remain silent.

Seeing Liu Bei's silence, Chen Yuan said directly: "Even though today's emperor intends to maintain the Han Dynasty, he has made the world more chaotic. Although the root cause is not with the emperor, but he can't make things right and save the building from falling, then he is not a bright man. host."

Liu Bei scolded immediately when he heard the words: "Fourth brother, be careful with your words."

Chen Yuan didn't take it seriously: "Brother, with all due respect, among the clans in the world today, the one who can save the building from falling is none other than Big Brother. Could it be that Big Brother has the heart to see the Han Dynasty collapse?"

Liu Bei said solemnly: "The Yellow Turban has been leveled, so how can we talk about the overthrow of the Han Dynasty?"

Chen Yuan smiled indifferently: "Could it be that the Yellow Turbans were the root of the overthrow of the Han Dynasty? No, it was also in the powerful family."

"Since the emperor ordered locals to recruit soldiers to suppress the Yellow Turbans, local powerful forces have expanded rapidly, and it has become a trend that cannot be lost. In the court, foreign relatives, eunuchs, and civil servant groups have attacked each other, which has further contributed to the strength of local forces. Even if the emperor If you want to suppress it, you will be powerless at this time, the feudal lords will separate, and the era of chaos will come."

"The next era is to see who is strong and strong. Once the emperor dies, I really don't know how many people will become emperor and how many people will become kings. The disaster of the collapse of the Han Dynasty is at hand."

"The big Zelong is stinging, and the Central Plains deer is fat."

"Looking at the clansmen of the Han Dynasty today, only the eldest brother is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, brave and brave, has the ability to know people and employ others, and has the style of a great ancestor. If the eldest brother does not carry the banner of Zhongxing Han Dynasty, who else in the world can Take on this important task?"

"Since the fourth brother sees it so clearly, why don't you write to the emperor?"

Chen Yuan laughed: "The ministers in the court are all heroes at that time, can't they see it? There are also loyal people who wrote letters to the emperor, but what do you think of the result?"

All were relegated.
