Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 115: This plan may harm the harmony of heaven, but it does not harm the harmony of culture

In Xuanshi, Jia Xu was secretly frightened.

It had been less than a year since the emperor came to Yecheng, but under Yuan Shao's nose, he had gained the loyalty of many forces.

"Outside, Lu Bu and Liu Bei manage Xuzhou and Yangzhou as their base, and the wealthy Zhen family of Jizhou provides rear support; inside, the imperial guards protect the palace, and Guo Fengxiao and I exacerbate Yuan Shao's internal conflicts and cause disputes."

"It seems that Your Majesty will be able to escape from this predicament in no time."

"If we can gradually erode Jizhou, we will have the foundation of three states. With such a foundation, the support of the Zhen family, and Lu Bu's charge, Your Majesty will be able to sweep away all the princes and regain control of the throne in no time."

Jia Xu analyzed the situation carefully in his mind, and the more he analyzed, the more he felt that there was great potential for development.

The most important thing is that the emperor is in the dark and Yuan Shao is in the light.

No one would pay any attention to the emperor until Yuan Shao's foundation was completely eroded.

Just like him, before meeting Guo Jia yesterday, he had no idea that the emperor was already planning to attack Yuan Shao from both inside and outside.

After Liu Xie finished explaining his own plans, he looked at Jia Xu expectantly: "Wenhe, I have revealed everything. Tell me what you think."

"Yes!" Jia Xu bowed to Liu Xie, carefully considered his words, and said, "Your Majesty and Feng Xiao's previous plan, I agree with it."

"Your Majesty is trapped in Yecheng after all. It is extremely difficult to defeat Yuan Shao head-on in Yecheng. The only way is to start from the inside and intensify the factional struggles within Yuan Shao and make his descendants fight with each other."

"Now that Feng Xiao has completely gained Yuan Shang's trust, I will make friends with Yuan Xi and offer him advice. Cooperate with Feng Xiao to cause a conflict between the two."

"As for Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan, he is guarding Qingzhou, so there is no need to worry about him."

Looking at Jia Xu who was talking eloquently, Liu Xie suddenly remembered the fate of Yuan Tan in history and blurted out:
"Feng Ji and Shen Pei have always supported Yuan Shang and are at odds with Xin Ping, Guo Tu, and Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan has been adopted by Yuan Shao to his brother Yuan Ji. If Yuan Shao dies, Feng Ji and Shen Pei will forge Yuan Shao's will and support Yuan Shang as his successor. At that time, the brothers will surely have a rift."

"Therefore, Yuan Shao must die. If Yuan Shao survives, the forces behind him and his descendants will be restrained even if they fight overtly or covertly, and will not dare to go too far."

"Your Majesty is wise." Jia Xu praised from the bottom of his heart.

Smart people all think in the same way. He and Guo Jia both knew that Yuan Shao’s hidden danger lay in the complicated internal factions and the discord among his descendants.

When Yuan Shao was alive, they could still suppress the conflicts, but once Yuan Shao died, all the conflicts would erupt in an instant.

However, Jia Xu did not expect that the emperor would be able to think so much about Yuan Tan guarding Qingzhou after he merely mentioned that there was no need to worry. Even the fact that Feng Ji and Shen Pei forged Yuan Shao's will coincided with what he thought.

"How to kill Yuan Shao?" Liu Xie asked.

Guo Jia had previously offered him three strategies of medium and low quality, one of which was to kill Yuan Shao.

But he and Guo Jia alone had no way of killing Yuan Shao while ensuring their own safety.

"I have a plan." Jia Xu had a good plan in mind, and he looked at Liu Xie and said word by word: "The son kills the father!
Liu Xie felt a little horrified after hearing these four short words.

Guo Jia even slammed the table and stood up, his eyes gleaming: "Wenhe's plan is brilliant!"

Jia Xu glanced at Liu Xie secretly and said apprehensively, "Although this plan is brilliant, it is detrimental to the harmony of nature. If Your Majesty does not want to use it, I have another plan."

This is an era that values ​​filial piety the most.

Even to be an official, one must be filial and honest.

At this time, the concept of filial piety was even more deeply rooted in people's hearts than loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

Killing one's parents is absolutely intolerable to heaven and earth, and will be despised by people all over the world!

In a sense, the people's disgust for those who killed their fathers and mothers is definitely far greater than that for treacherous ministers like Dong Zhuo.

Jia Xu was also worried that this plan of having his son kill his father would be disliked by Liu Xie, and even cause him to dislike him.

Looking at Jia Xu's uneasy expression, Liu Xie knew exactly what he was worried about.

With a slight smile, he gave him a reassurance: "In extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done. Although this plan may harm the harmony of heaven, it will not harm the harmony of culture."

"Your Majesty is wise." Jia Xu bowed. He didn't care whether it hurt Tianhe or not, as long as it didn't hurt Wenhe.

At this moment, he could not help but think of Guo Jia's theory of the ten victories of the emperor again. Your Majesty is naturally detached and not fussy about trivial matters. This is the victory of Tao.

Liu Xie asked: "Who killed my father? Yuan Xi?"

Although Yuan Shang was the youngest son, he was favored by Yuan Shao because of his handsome appearance.

Yuan Xi was the second son. His eldest brother Yuan Tan was adopted, so he was actually the eldest son. However, he was the least favored of Yuan Shao's three sons.

But although he had grievances against Yuan Shao, it was impossible for him to be so cruel as to kill his father.

Jia Xu nodded: "That's right!"

Liu Xie frowned. "Although Yuan Xi covets the position of heir, how dare he do such a treasonous thing as patricide?"

If it were any other dynasty, Liu Xie would not have any doubts at all.

In later generations, there were too many cases of sons killing fathers and fathers killing sons.

However, there were few cases of patricide in the Han Dynasty.

Before Jia Xu could speak, Guo Jia spoke first: "Your Majesty is pure and filial, but you underestimate the greed of human nature. As long as Yuan Xi sees an opportunity to inherit Yuan Shao's foundation, even if he is unwilling to kill his father, the people behind him will force him to do it."

Although Guo Jia is not yet thirty years old, he has very rich experience.

He has seen too many ugly people and things over the years, and he deeply understands the evil nature of human nature.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he witnessed with his own eyes the scene of people exchanging their own children for cannibalism.

As long as the harvest is big enough, he has no doubt about Yuan Xi's determination to kill his father.

Liu Xie nodded and said, "Then I'll have to ask Feng Xiao and Wen He to follow your plan."

Therefore, Jia Xu and Guo Jia made detailed and thorough plans and discussions on the matter of Yuan Xi's patricide in the Xuanshi Hall.

Jia Xu is truly a vicious scholar, and his schemes are extremely vicious.

Guo Jia was not a good person either, and he could often draw inferences based on Jia Xu's ideas.

Liu Xie was listening to their conversation and felt a chill down his spine.

If he were to be plotted against in this way by the two of them, it would be terrifying to think about it.

"Your Majesty, the General of the Cavalry and the Governor of Jingzhou request an audience."

Suddenly, Gao Lan's voice was heard from outside the hall.

The General of Cavalry and the Governor of Jingzhou were none other than Lu Bu and Liu Bei.

Jia Xu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Feng Xiao and I will go to the side hall to avoid it."

If Jia Xu retreated at this time, wouldn't that mean he didn't trust him? How could Liu Xie do such a thing? He immediately shook his head and said, "No need. We are all loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. It's a good opportunity for you to meet each other."

When Jia Xu heard this, he was rarely moved, but he was moved.

The emperor truly regards him as his confidant.

After a while, Lu Bu and Liu Bei walked into the Xuanshi room under the leadership of Gao Lan.

As soon as the two entered the Xuanshi Hall, they saw Jia Xu and Guo Jia.

Liu Bei remained silent and remained alert.

Lu Bu's face immediately turned sullen and he looked at Jia Xu with an unfriendly gaze.

I cursed in my heart: "What bad luck! Why is this guy here too?"
