Fantasy Three Kingdoms: Four knots in Taoyuan at the beginning

Chapter 195 Chapter 192, Liu Bei's wife plan
"I, in Jingzhou, implement these three strategies. At the top, I can win the favor of the emperor, and at the bottom, I can win the hearts of the people. Only the powerful will be offended. Does Bo Ning think so?"

Man Chong nodded, Chen Yuan was very right.

"It's just that in today's world, the powerful are powerful, while the emperor and the people are weak."

What Man Chong said was right, it is indeed the case in today's world.

The most powerful is not the emperor, but the powerful.

Emperor Han Ling, who was persecuted by the tyrants, had to learn from Hongdu, had to sell his officials, had to favor the eunuchs, and had to give the tyrants the power to recruit and train soldiers with confidence.

What was the most tragic scene?
That is Fatty Dong who caused trouble in Luoyang.

This is the result of Hao Qiang's deliberate intention.

Chen Yuan nodded: "It's right that the Son of Heaven is weak, but the power of the people is infinite. It's just that we haven't fully utilized the power of the people."

???

Don't say Man Chong is in a daze, everyone present is in a daze.

This is really a bit of a pinnacle of their ideas.

Although Mencius once said that the king is the most important thing, the people are the foundation, and the society is second, Xunzi also said: "The king is like a boat; the common people are like water. Water carries the boat, and water capsizes the boat."

But in the minds of most people, what power the common people have is nothing but the ruled.

Chen Yuan said that the power of the common people is infinite, and they all felt that Chen Yuan wanted to fool them.

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it.

Chen Yuan knew it was time to teach these people a lesson.

By the way, Chen Yuan has done political work.

For this kind of thought class, it is easy to grasp.

Immediately, Chen Yuan gave the three of them an ideological lesson called the power of the common people.

Firstly, Fu Shuo was held between the boards, Jiao Ge was held in the fish salt, Guan Yiwu was held in the scholar, Sun Shuao was held in the sea, Baili Xi was held in the city, and then Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Emperor Gaozu, Emperor Guangwu, etc. Wait.

All kinds of deeds in the past history show that the heroes not only come from the aristocrats, but also come from the common people.

This is the first point.

Then I began to talk about the power of the common people, starting from the Chinese uprising and ending with the Yellow Turban Rebellion, to illustrate how powerful the common people are.

After Chen Yuan finished speaking, Xi Zhicai directly asked questions.

"It is true that as Zichu said, the power of the people is indeed strong, but why did the Chen Sheng Wu Guang Rebellion and the Yellow Turban Rebellion all fail?"

Chen Yuan couldn't help clapping his hands when he heard Xi Zhicai's question: "Zhicai's eyes are sharp, and he has seen the root of the problem."

"Yeah, why did such a massive uprising fail?"

After taking a look at everyone, Chen Yuan said directly: "The reason is that although the common people have great power, they don't know how to use it. Without wise leaders, this powerful power is finally controlled by powerful landlords." exploit and seize."

Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "It's like the Yellow Turban Rebellion ended up with neither the emperor nor the common people but the powerful landlord?"

As soon as Xi Zhicai said this, everyone suddenly realized.

The few people present here are all heroes at that time, and of course they can see the situation after the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

First of all, the authority of the emperor or the center of the court has been greatly reduced, and the loss of court power is very obvious. The most obvious thing is that the taxes collected have been reduced, and the control over the local area has been greatly weakened.

The second is that local governments and tyrants have the full power to recruit troops on their own, and their power has expanded rapidly.

We must know that the standing army in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty was very small. In addition to the tens of thousands of troops in the Central Northern Army, there were also some standing frontier troops on the border. There were no standing troops in the inland counties.

The standing army of the entire country will not exceed [-].

It is conceivable that there are almost no local military forces.

This is also one of the reasons why the Yellow Turban Rebellion was so huge at the beginning. The local military strength was too weak to resist.

Therefore, Emperor Ling of the Han had no choice but to order local counties and powerful forces to recruit troops to resist and suppress the Yellow Turban Army.

The ending is that the Yellow Turban has failed, the emperor has also failed, and the mighty power has grown stronger.

Chen Yuan saw that everyone had realized something, so he continued: "So, we in Jingzhou must use the power of the common people. If we use this power correctly, we will be able to change the world. Who are you!"

"These three strategies are the initial guidance to use the power of the people."

"As long as these three policies can be implemented, within three years, I, Jingzhou, will no longer be afraid of any forces! At that time, the lord will be able to enter the center and be a great man of Zhongxing."

Well, what Chen Yuan was talking about was entering the main center and reviving the great man, but he didn't say that Liu Bei should be the emperor.

It can't be said for sure, not only Liu Bei disagrees, but many people will not agree.

It is different to enter the main center. Being a prime minister or a general is also the main center.

It can also regulate yin and yang, control all officials, and assist the emperor.

Of course, this is just Chen Yuan's way of fooling people. Even if Liu Bei does not agree to be the emperor, it will not be up to him.

Chen Yuan had planned a long time ago, and he would definitely let Liu Bei take the position of emperor.

Any powerful minister must either seek rebellion or die tragically, there is no other way.

Refer to Huo Guang and Wang Mang.

They are all powerful ministers. Although Huo Guang died well, the whole family was sentenced to death after his death, not to mention Wang Mang, who directly usurped the throne.

To be honest, even the powerful ministers will not end well, so the subordinates of the powerful ministers will definitely not end well.

Chen Yuan is Liu Bei's most trusted minister, if Liu Bei does not end well, then Chen Yuan will die even worse.

Therefore, only by making Liu Bei the emperor, these ministers of the Liu Bei Group will have a good ending.

At that time, even if Chen Yuan does not persuade him to enter, some people will persuade him to enter.

Chen Yuan only needs to create a situation where Liu Bei can justifiably ascend the throne, and give Liu Bei a sufficient excuse, an excuse for having to ascend the throne and become emperor.

For example, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty died tragically.

Of course, even if Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty died tragically, he must not die in the hands of the Liu Bei Group.

It would be best to die in the hands of Fatty Dong.

This time, there was no longer any doubts.

And after this debate, Man Chong has completely returned to his heart.

Because he felt the importance of the people in Jingzhou, and he was good at using the power of the people.

what is this?
This is the one who wins the hearts of the people.

Maybe the lord will become the Son of Heaven in the future.

Man Chong thought so.

Man Chong has no loyalty to today's emperor, and is even disappointed with the current court.

Otherwise, he would not have abandoned his official position and retired to seclusion.

There is really no place for him to display his talents, and he is in danger of dying.

It's different now. After Chen Yuan's recommendation, Liu Bei has appointed Man Chong as the law officer of the State Shepherd's Mansion and the army officer of the Zhennan General's Mansion.

Junzheng is a law enforcement officer who executes military law full-time.

To put it bluntly, Man Chong has become No. 1 in Jingzhou Criminal Law.

This is a huge reuse.

This debate can be regarded as further unifying the thinking and laying the foundation for Jingzhou's ruling thinking.

The core is one, people-oriented.

This is not only different from other states and counties, but also from the imperial court.

Most of the ruling ideas of other states and counties are based on tyranny.

The attitude towards the common people is that it is enough to live, and they don't care about how they live.

After the discussion, everyone went down.

Liu Bei left Chen Yuan behind.

"Fourth brother, how are you preparing for the opening ceremony?"

In a few days, it will be the opening ceremony of Xiangyang Academy, which is now the top priority in Jingzhou, so Liu Bei will naturally have to ask about it.

"Don't worry, brother, everything is ready."

Liu Bei nodded, and after a little thought, he said, "Zichu, when will you and Zhaoji get married?"

Chen Yuan has no elders, so Liu Bei, as the eldest brother, naturally has to worry about this matter.

After all, he had already made an agreement with Cai Yong before, and the three media and six employments were all done, and the last thing left was to get married.

It's just that the wedding was not held in Luoyang because of the emergency in Luoyang.

Now that it's been entrusted for so long, it would be a bit rude to delay it any longer.

Chen Yuan thought about it for a while: "After the opening ceremony, the elder brother will discuss with the teacher and choose an auspicious day to get married."

Liu Bei nodded and smiled: "That's great. I, Yunchang and Yide are still waiting for you to make us a little nephew."

Chen Yuan rolled his eyes when he heard the words: "Brother, don't just talk about me, you and your second and third brothers should also consider marriage matters. As the saying goes, there are three ways to be unfilial, and having no offspring is the greatest, especially you, the eldest brother, who is already in your 20s." , everyone is looking forward to eldest brother giving birth to a eldest son."

Chen Yuan is pointing at Liu Bei.

Now that Liu Bei is the shepherd of Jingzhou, with a large group of civil servants and generals under his command, the Liu Bei Group has begun to take shape. If Liu Bei, the leader of each group and power, has no descendants, it is a very big hidden danger.

Because the stability of the Liu Bei Group cannot be guaranteed.

To put it bluntly, if Liu Bei is gone now, Jingzhou will inevitably fall apart.

No one can replace Liu Bei's position.

Not even Chen Yuan.

Speaking of this matter, Liu Bei's face became serious.

He knew what Chen Yuan said was right.

This is no longer Liu Bei's own business, but the entire Jingzhou business.

It's not that Liu Bei doesn't have a concubine, but he doesn't have a wife who is being married by a Ming media.

Even if concubine Ji gave birth to a son, she is not considered a legitimate son, and cannot inherit Liu Bei's power.

Liu Bei asked Chen Yuan directly: "Fourth brother, do you have any suggestions?"

Liu Bei is asking Chen Yuan who should he marry?
Chen Yuan thought for a while: "Brother, I think it's better to call the big guys to discuss this issue."

Chen Yuan didn't want to decide this matter alone.

It wasn't that Chen Yuan was avoiding suspicion, the main reason was that Chen Yuan couldn't think of any suitable people.

Mrs. Gan, Mrs. Mi, and Mrs. Sun are either in Xuzhou or have not yet been born.

As for Empress Wu, she is now the daughter-in-law of Liu Yan's son Liu Mao, which is even more inappropriate.

Apart from these people, Chen Yuan couldn't think of anyone suitable for Liu Bei.

Liu Bei thought for a while, and felt that Chen Yuan was right.

It should be discussed by everyone.

So Xi Zhicai, Gu Yong, Tian Feng, Ju Shou, and Man Chong were called back to discuss this matter.

When they heard it, they were discussing marrying Liu Bei.

All of a sudden they became interested.

To be honest, it's not that no one introduced Liu Bei's wife, but none of the candidates introduced by those people fit Liu Bei's ideas.

Liu Bei didn't think about love anymore, he now married a wife entirely to see if it would help his career.

As long as there is help, powerful daughters can marry, and daughters from poor families are also acceptable.

Xi Zhicai was the first to speak: "My lord, I have Xun Yu who has a younger sister named Xun Cai, who is intelligent, agile and talented. Although she first married Yin Yu as his wife, she is now a widow. She is loyal and a good match. .”

Hey, when he heard the girl Xi Zhicai mentioned, Chen Yuan immediately remembered.

Isn't this the Xun Cai who turned his body back into the shadows?

This Xun Cai is the daughter of Xun Shuang.

At the age of 17, Xun Cai married Yin Yu.Two years later, when Yin Yu died, Xun Cai was unwilling to remarry, but Xun Shuang agreed to marry Xun Cai to Guo Yi, a native of the same county.

Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of others, Xun Cai wrote on the door with powder: "The corpse returns to the shade", and then hanged himself to death.

Therefore, as soon as Xi Zhicai finished speaking, Chen Yuan said: "Zhicai, I have also heard about this girl. She is extremely loyal and loyal. It may not be easy for her to marry the lord."

Xi Zhicai nodded: "What Zichu said is not bad, but it may not be unfeasible."

The reason why Xi Zhicai recommended Xun Cai was that he did not have the idea of ​​repaying Xun Yu's kindness.

In his view, Liu Bei's future is limitless, and marrying Liu Bei is very beneficial to the Xun family.

Chen Yuan glanced at Xi Zhi, but didn't say much.

This is human nature, and it is not humiliating for Xun Cai to be Liu Bei's wife.

It's just that it's not an easy thing to change this girl's mind.

Otherwise, he would not have committed suicide in the end.

Liu Bei nodded: "Remember for now, the other gentlemen may have someone to recommend."

Gu Yong thought for a while and said: "Kai Yue has a younger sister, who is virtuous and virtuous, with unparalleled beauty, she can be the wife of the lord."

Gu Yong also had selfish intentions in recommending Kuai Yue's younger sister.

Now Gu Yong gets along well with the Kuai brothers, and it is reasonable that the Kuai brothers are helpful to Gu Yong.

It is not impossible for Liu Bei to marry Kuai's daughter.

Liu Bei continued to nod, and said to Tian Feng and Ju Shou: "Did the two gentlemen teach me?"

Ju Shou and Tian Feng glanced at each other and said, "My lord, why don't you ask Zi Gangong's daughter to be your wife?"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Yuan and Liu Bei's eyes lit up.

Yes.

You can marry Lu Zhi's daughter.

Not only can the relationship with Lu Zhi be further strengthened, but it can also win the hearts of the people in Hebei.

This is also the way to balance.

And if you marry Lu Zhi's daughter, you will not be afraid of the power of your relatives growing in a short period of time.

I don't even need to be afraid in the future, because the Lu family's power is in Youzhou, thousands of miles away.

Chen Yuan and Liu Bei looked at each other and felt that this proposal was very good.

However, Chen Yuan suddenly had a bad idea in his heart.

Chen Yuan smiled secretly: "Everyone, I have an idea, please listen to it."

Everyone looked at Chen Yuan, wondering what Chen Yuan was thinking.

"I heard that Cai Xi has a daughter who looks beautiful. I thought I could try to tell the lord."

As soon as Chen Yuan said this, the way everyone looked at Chen Yuan changed.

This guy is simply bad.

At this time, I still have to confuse the Cai family, which is simply not a son of man.
