Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1447 The Haze of Authority

  Where to sit and what to say.

  When Cao Cao found that the conflict between him and Liu Xie was unavoidable, Cao Cao naturally began to distinguish his allies and opponents. It's like the new leaders of many units in China will basically invite a meal when they take office. In fact, it is not the meal that is invited, but the performance and attitude at the dinner table.

Xun Yu was silent for a moment, then said: "My lord, Han Zi Huan Ling, the king lost his power, the mausoleum was late, the sea was in chaos, and the weakness caused harm. Today, it has already collapsed. However, the change of the court, The abuse is not as good as the people, the Liu family's glory has not been exhausted, and the hope of the world has not changed. Therefore, those who conquered were enshrined in Han, and those who worshiped and rewarded were called emperors.

   Xun Yu is so direct, and others can't help but look sideways. But if you think about it the other way around, this kind of thing, if you say it in an upright manner, it seems to be upright and magnanimous. If you cover it up and avoid it, it will probably make people feel sneaky.

Cao Cao was silent for a long time, then a smile slowly appeared on his face, and he said, "It really is my son's house!" Immediately, he did not mention this matter, and then turned to ask other matters of people's livelihood and government affairs, as if The thing that oppressed everyone to express their opinions just now does not exist at all.

It has to be said that Cao Cao, a small political group, is obviously much more efficient in handling government affairs than the court assembly. Basically, most things are resolved within a short period of time, and they can even get some help from others. Additional suggestions, because everyone is in a different position, so the angle of treatment of the problem is also different, and sometimes some suggestions by analogy are actually very good.

  So after finishing the business, everyone dispersed. After leaving Cao Cao's mansion, Guo Jia caught up with Xun Yu's vehicle from behind, and after saying hello, he climbed straight into Xun Yu's car.

The servants and guards around Xun Yu seemed to be accustomed to this matter, so the only one who expressed dissatisfaction with Guo Jia's behavior was Xun Yu, but the only way Xun Yu expressed dissatisfaction was to stare at him and then subconsciously go to Moved a little to the side to make room for Guo Jia.

   "You have always been smart, why don't you understand what my lord means?" Guo Jia was not polite, and asked right away.

   "..." Xun Yu was silent and did not answer immediately.

The vehicle was wobbly and overwhelmed by the bluestone slabs. The wheels without any buffer and the hard board were really not comfortable at all. The curved so-called canopy inserted on the vehicle was actually a cloth strip hanging It’s just a big umbrella, there is no sense of “glory” at all, and because the center of gravity of the entire canopy is not on the central axis of the vehicle, does the driver of the vehicle have to deflect a little to keep the vehicle in a straight line? Marching forward, but choosing such a crude vehicle to pass by, there are still many pedestrians on both sides of the street casting envious or expectant eyes...

  Because this is not a car, but represents an authority.

   Authority...

  Xun Yu looked up at the sky, and found that the sky was half covered by the "canopy" inserted on the vehicle, and the sun shone through behind the clouds, drawing a golden edge to the clouds, but he was unable to tear the clouds away to reveal his own figure. The wind blew the flags on the canopy, and also the belt on Xun Yu's Jinxian crown, but it couldn't blow away the faint worry between Xun Yu's brows.

"..." Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu, was also silent for a while, and then said, "Someone intends to speak to the lord... Your Majesty has no heirs now, and the country is in trouble. You can choose an innocent family as a beautiful girl, and the Han family will continue ..." Cao Cao's eldest daughter is almost at the age of marriage.

   "Ru!" Xun Yu suddenly turned his head to look at Guo Jia.

   "What's the matter?" Guo Jia glanced at Xun Yu indifferently, raised his eyebrows and said, "In this way, Your Majesty and the Lord can feel a little more at ease, can't they?"

  Xun Yu took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "It's just for the time being!"

   "It's fine for the time being..." Guo Jia sighed quietly, "If this person is injured, he always needs to recuperate for a while. It's better than being torn with blood, right?"

  Xun Yu's cheeks twitched twice, he hesitated to speak, and finally turned into a sigh: "Oh, in this way, you...have a bad reputation..."

  Guo Jia's shoulders twitched, as if he had heard something funny, and he laughed in a low voice: "Notoriety? Haha, haha, there are so many disturbances in the world, which one is good? Which one is evil?"

It seemed that the sunlight was too strong, or some other reason, Xun Yu slowly closed his eyes, and after a while he said: "... After all, there is still a difference between good and evil... If there is no good and evil, it is no different from a beast... "

   "Cut..." Guo Jia said disdainfully, "Ru Mao comes here to drink blood, captures the land and lives there, then he becomes the Three Emperors, conquers the barbarians, and pays tribute by bullying the weak and oppressing the country, then he becomes the Duke of Zhou...What is good and evil? What is good and evil?"

   Xun Yu was silent. Although he didn't speak, he still shook his head. Between the eyebrows and eyes, there is still a kind of stubbornness blooming in it, just like the umbrella handle on the canopy car, although it has been bent into a twisted posture, it still firmly expresses its own texture and persistence .

  ………………

  Liu Xie sat behind the table, the sweat behind him gradually stopped, and his heartbeat returned to normal. Facing Cao Cao's strong side at the Great Court Meeting, Liu Xie is still a little scared when he thinks about it now.

  What if Cao Cao turns his face on the spot?

  What if Cao Cao simply ignores it?

just in case…

There are many assumptions, Liu Xie has no plan at all, but he still does it, because he really doesn't want to be in the state of Chang'an and Luoyang, the kind of being raised in a pigsty. status. Liu Xie wants to make his own voice, to make his own voice to Dahan Tianxia, ​​instead of just eating and sleeping all day long!

  Liu Xie has a lot of ideas, a lot of expectations for the future big man, if he can't make his own voice, how can he talk about change, how can he be rejuvenated?

   Fortunately, Cao Cao seemed to give in.

   Liu Xiechang let out a long breath.

   So far, Cao Cao is still different from those rebellious officials and thieves. It was right to choose Cao Cao in the first place.

  However, what to do next?

   "Your Majesty..." Xiao Huangmen reported from outside the hall, "Xun attendant is asking to see you..."

   "Huh? Please!" Liu Xie sat upright, straightened his back, and raised his voice.

   After a while, Xun You came and approached. After meeting, Xun You handed over a copy of the essay and said, "This is the essay issued by Cao Sikong in Jizhou. Please read it, Your Majesty."

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, and then asked the **** at the side to fetch the writing, and unfolded it. He was a little disappointed, frowned, and slowly put the writing on the table, saying: "Xun Aiqing, this letter of writing , have you ever seen it?"

  Xun You is currently working in Shangshuling, which is also the center of the imperial court, and is also responsible for drafting many related laws and documents, so naturally he has read this letter, so he nodded.

   "In this case, what do you think of the writing of this letter?" Liu Xie asked.

   "Fair." Xun You said.

   "Fair enough?" Liu Xie frowned and repeated. This soft writing, although the words are gorgeous, but it is all about the principles of heaven and earth ethics from top to toe, and then there are some ethereal words such as the law of heaven and earth, etc. Even Liu Xie himself felt that it was simply an article. Nonsense, and then Xun You actually said that it was okay?

   "Your Majesty..." Xun You looked up at Liu Xie, and said, "Once upon a time, Lao Dan had something to say, and the way can be said, but the way is not famous... This letter is written like this..."

   "..." Liu Xie froze for a moment.

   What do these mean?

   "What does Cao Sikong mean?" Liu Xie asked.

   Xun You said: "Your Majesty, Cao Sikong has seen it and has nothing else to say."

   After a moment of silence, Liu Xie handed the text to the **** beside him, asked him to pass it on to Xun You, and said, "Since Cao Sikong agrees, so be it..."

Xun You took the text, but did not leave immediately, but took out another slightly quaint scroll from his sleeve, "Your Majesty... I have a copy of Taoist scriptures written by Taoist Qingniu, and I dedicated it to His Majesty…"

   "Taoist scripture?" Liu Xie asked with some doubts.

   "It's just that... the minister is retiring..." Xun You didn't give any explanation, so he saluted again and left.

  Liu Xie looked at some quaint scrolls and frowned at the written text on them.

"Tao can be Tao, very Tao, name can be named, very name, nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth, and the mother of all things, so there is always no desire to see its wonder, and there is always desire to see its beauty. These two come from the same place, but have different names and the same name. ..."

   This is an ordinary copy of the Tao Te Ching, without entrainment or abnormality. Of course, the books of the Han Dynasty are like this, with no punctuation from beginning to end.

   How many meanings does this mean?

  What does Xun You want to express through this Taoist scripture?

   Liu Xie looked at it and seemed to understand something, but he didn't seem to fully understand it...

  ………………

  Chuan Shu.

   "Boom! Crash! Knock..." Liu Zhang swept all the items on the table and fell to the ground, either breaking, falling apart, or rolling along the floor to a distance.

   "Huh...huh..." The servants in the hall were so frightened that they all prostrated themselves on the ground, only hearing the heavy breathing of Liu Zhang sitting in the hall.

...

"Why can't we fight!" Liu Zhang roared angrily, "If you say you don't have any soldiers, you will buy them and cut down your clothes and food to supply them! If you say you have no food, you will empty your warehouses and raise money to give them! Now Just say that you can't win for the time being, so it's an confession!"

  Pang Xi frowned, and said: "There are so many things involved in the matter of Bingjia, among which Bingjia's food and salary are the most important! Now..."

   "I don't listen!" Liu Zhang shook his head and said, "Just ask, can we fight, can we win?"

   "..." Pang Xi stared at Liu Zhang, and after a long silence, he said, "I can't fight for now... If you want to fight, still..."

  Liu Zhang held up his palms and said: "I know! Pang Lingjun can go now!"

  Pang Xi opened his mouth, but seeing Liu Zhang who had already turned away, he finally shook his head and said goodbye.

  Liu Zhang heard Pang Xi's footsteps gradually going away, Fang turned his head, with an incomparably complicated look in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, but he didn't say anything after all.

  Pang Xi was the assistant minister specially given to Liu Zhang before Liu Yan died, but during the time Liu Zhang and Pang Xi got along, after a honeymoon period, they inevitably entered a period of exhaustion.

  Pang Xi and Zhao Wei were at odds, originally Liu Yan also intentionally arranged this way. To Sichuan and Shu, Pang Xi is considered a foreigner, while Zhao Wei is a native of Sichuan and Shu. Therefore, to a certain extent, the two can complement each other, but the problem is that they have always been ideal sellers and real buyers. Xi and Zhao Wei turned against each other shortly after Liu Yan's death because of their struggle for power.

At first, Liu Zhang was like a child watching his parents and elders quarreling or even fighting at home. He was in a state of confusion and fear. He also tried to find a way to reconcile in the middle and restore the relationship between Pang Xi and Zhao Wei as much as possible. However, all these efforts eventually turned into a river of spring water flowing eastward.

It’s like a quarrel between parents at home. The cause may be because of a glass of water, a bowl of rice, or some trivial things, but in fact, the reason for two people’s violent words or actions may be because they feel that the other party cannot understand and is not considerate enough. , cannot be shared, and all of these things that can be shown are actually superficial, and the child cannot understand or comfort them, because the child will never understand. In fact, more than 90% of the parents quarreled because they suffered from life. Under the heavy pressure, a kind of emotional vent of helplessness shown.

   Therefore, Liu Zhang also couldn't understand why the two people who got along well at first became incompatible now?

   Want military power, yes, sit down and have a good talk, share points, is it necessary to make it into the current situation?

   One, three, five, two, four, six, one and half of the remaining day is enough! Is there anything we can't argue with?

Zhao Wei endured in Qu, and refused to return to life and death. He controlled the military power in his hands, and he was like the second government in Sichuan and Shu. He neither listened to the tune nor listened to the propaganda. The speech came out, and then said that if Liu Zhang did not get rid of Pang Xi for a day, he would not return for a day.

On the other side, Pang Xi emphasized that Zhao Wei is a melon, and at the same time stepped up to gather the army, only recruiting the guests, showing the posture of a corporal of courtesy, tightly holding the military power near Chengdu, and forming a confrontation with Zhao Wei. .

Liu Zhang was also annoyed after publishing articles several times to Zhao Wei's place, and after persuading him to no avail, he asked Pang Xi to send troops to quell Zhao Wei's apparently rebellious behavior, but Pang Xi delayed again and again, first saying that there were no soldiers. , and later said that there is no money and food, and then there are some miscellaneous reasons and theories, which can be summed up in one sentence, and it is not yet time to start the war...

  Why is it not time to start the war? !

   This is what Liu Zhang is dissatisfied with. What conditions are not satisfied? Speak it out, solve it, what kind of thing is it to procrastinate like this day after day?

Zhao Wei did the same, and Pang Xi did the same, which made Liu Zhang gradually doubt whether the assistant ministers left behind by his father before his death had the ability to maintain his power and status. Perhaps, when it came time to do something Time for some changes...
