The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 415: Xu Shu praises the emperor, Luo Yuan is depressed

Luo Yuan failed to persuade Liu Xie to give up that idea, and returned to the military headquarters in a depressed mood.

Xu Shu saw Luo Yuan was depressed and said: "My lord, you are going to see the emperor, why do you look so unhappy?'

Xu Shu was very happy because the army had gained a firm foothold on the opposite bank. Han Xuan's army did not dare to fight against the Jiangling army. Now the army had begun to advance slowly in Gong'an.

Huang Zhong's battle plan was also delivered, and it was gradually implemented, putting great pressure on Han Xuan and forcing Han Xuan to fight a decisive battle with the Jiangling army.

Jiangling was very confident in destroying Han Xuan. Everyone knew that with the strength of the Jiangling army, Han Xuan was doomed.

The only thing I'm afraid of is that if I fight too hastily, Han Xuan will run away.

There are many mountains in Changsha. If Han Xuan runs to some other place, it will not be beautiful.

Under the command of Huang Zhong, the entire Jiangling army is methodically eliminating the warlord forces and aristocratic forces in Changsha.

Huang Zhong had already started land reform in Gong'an and distributed land to the people. Following the Jiangling model, he divided Gong'an into two counties.

At that time, the administrative provinces were ridiculously large. The world was divided into nine provinces. Yangzhou included several identities of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian in later generations. A county was also ridiculously large.

Luo Yuan had already made a plan to reduce the size of the counties in the area he occupied. The reason was also outrageous, mainly for the convenience of immigration.

There are not many people in the world, and the reason why the current administrative divisions are so large is because they are based on population.

The population in the south is small, and the counties and districts are very large. If more counties and districts are set up, there will be official positions!

What should officials do in the future when they go to counties where there are no people? They can recruit people themselves, or take their families with them.

Isn't this a successful secret immigration? With more counties and districts, it will be easier to build roads in the future. We can just build a little in each county and then connect them together.

Luo Yuan said: "I discussed with the emperor today about condemning Han Xuan, but the emperor treated this as a business."

Luo Yuan said something, and Xu Shu laughed in surprise: "This is really good news. The emperor is really smart. This will last long."

What do you mean? You actually support the emperor?
Don’t you want credibility anymore?
We should all have some basic morals.

"How can I ask for money for such a thing? The condemnation was issued by the United Court, but everyone in the world knows that I have the final say in the United Court, and they will treat me as unfair."

Xu Shu smiled and said, "My lord, why do you care about these little details? The emperor is right. If you and the emperor join forces, they will be invincible. This is also the reason why Cao Cao didn't want the emperor to come to Jiangling in the first place!"

How could Cao Cao not know this? Luo Yuan’s army plus the emperor would be another emperor!
"It was because the lord used a trick and was fair afterwards that Cao Cao had nothing to say." Xu Shu said, "Now the situation has changed. Cao Cao is the King of Wei. As a king, he can look down on others."

The king has the right to freely wage war and conduct diplomacy, and is like an emperor within a country.

Xu Shu said, "Cao Cao likes it most now when the emperor humiliates himself. All the princes in the world do the same. How can the emperor not know this? He is willing to reduce the emperor's authority in order to cater to the changes in the world. These changes started with you. The emperor is showing his sincerity to you and is willing to cooperate with you to rebuild China. Why should you refuse?"

This……

Come to think of it, it's true.

Liu Xie treated condemnation as a business and manipulating public opinion would naturally undermine the emperor's prestige. Without his prestige, the emperor would naturally be nothing.

Luo Yuan nodded. That was the truth, but he always felt that it was not right. He didn't want to establish a constitutional monarchy or a republic.

At present, the shogunate system is the best for the Han Dynasty, but Luo Yuan also wants to add a parliamentary system, and this parliament is a representative assembly.

The emperor could have certain powers, preside over parliamentary discussions and supervise the military government.

Because of the actual situation of the Han Dynasty, the people still hope that there is an emperor who can lead the whole country. So the emperor cannot disappear.

When the per capita literacy rate rises and everyone becomes enlightened, it won't matter whether there is an emperor or not.

In this era, there is actually no concept of country at all. The Han people call themselves Han people only because the imperial court is the Han Dynasty.

All the countries in the world are named after ethnic groups.

With the concept of a country, there will be no emperor in the future. Even without a court, the people will know who they are fighting for.

Liu Xie took the initiative to reduce the emperor's authority and humiliate himself. Luo Yuan should have been happy,
But Luo Yuan was afraid!
"Yuanzhi, if money can influence the court to condemn or praise someone, then does that mean money can also influence the court and the world?" Luo Yuan would never allow such a thing to happen.

That's a fucking Jewish thing to do.

"Today's matter may seem small, but it will cause endless troubles. Once we set an example, people will learn from it and know that money is everything."

Luo Yuan looked at Xu Shu seriously: "This is not the China I want. The word China means the most beautiful place in the world. It is blessed by heaven and blessed by the earth. People live in it, and civilization thrives."

Xu Shu was stunned, and quickly bowed: "My lord, what you said is true, but I still insist on the emperor's way."

Ideals are ideals, reality is reality.

Xu Shu said: "My Lord, please ask others. I believe everyone has the same opinion as me. Only by reducing the dignity of the imperial power can we achieve equality between the noble and the humble. As long as the goal of reducing the imperial power can be achieved, it is fine to let the emperor manipulate gold and silver."

Luo Yuan knew without asking that everyone would definitely agree with Liu Xie's approach. The practical benefits were clearly visible, and the ideal that Luo Yuan wanted was just a beautiful wish placed on him by everyone.

In a hundred years of life, who knows whether or not we can see such a world.

"You... are depressed, just go and do your thing," Luo Yuan didn't want to talk to Xu Shu anymore.

Xu Shu smiled and said, "My lord, you can ask others."

nonsense!

Luo Yuan turned around and looked for his wife, but everyone thought that Liu Xie was sensible and Luo Yuan should listen to Liu Xie!
"The emperor only wants some gold and silver. What you are worrying about is in the future. It's a bit groundless."

"My husband, why do you care about those things? I have a green pen to record them. People in the world will respect the evaluation of history books."

"What the husband wants is far away in the sky, what the emperor says is close at hand, we should first take advantage of the present, and then plan for the future"

Luo Yuan looked at his wives, all of whom came from famous families and were good at speaking.

But he thinks that public opinion should not be manipulated. If public opinion is manipulated, fairness will be betrayed.

Luo Yuan regretted condemning such a thing.

what!

Now I am the one who is worried.

It seemed that everyone around him thought Liu Xie was right and he was wrong, but Luo Yuan knew that fairness and justice were the foundation of a strong country.

As long as fairness and justice are achieved, those in power do not need to interfere too much, and the people will naturally work hard to develop and survive and unleash infinite power.
