Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1724 Royalist faction

  Wang Can was a little embarrassed, his breathing was disturbed for a while, and he didn't even know which side to put his hands and feet. He knew Liu Qi. In a sense, Liu Qi should also be Wang Can's young master. Now that Wang Can has devoted himself to Fei Qian's place, it is inevitable that he will be at a loss when he sees Liu Qi suddenly.

  But Wang Can quickly reacted, and understood why Liu Qi appeared here in Chang'an, so he stepped forward and bowed his hands in greeting: "I have seen Mr. Liu..."

Liu Qi was also a little surprised, but because Liu Qi set off first, he didn't know about Wang Can's departure from Jingxiang at all. After seeing Wang Can, he couldn't help being a little surprised and happy, and he didn't even notice that Wang Can's name had changed. , blurted out: "Wang Zhongxuan? But father sent you here?"

"This..." Wang Can suddenly didn't know what to say. After hesitating for a while, Fang said, "Don't dare to hide it from Mr. Liu. Can is now in charge of Jingxiang..." This kind of thing can't be hidden sooner or later, it's better Say it out loud.

  But Wang Can thinks this way, and Liu Qi may not be able to figure it out. Hearing Wang Can's words, Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly flew into a rage, pointed at Wang Can and said, "A certain Liu family has treated you well, how can you bear to abandon them! When you first came to Jingxiang, you had no clothes and no food. Food, Naijia Yan personally delivered food and clothing, holding hands with the car! Now...now..."

  Liu Qi glanced at Fei Qian, and suddenly realized that he was not in Jingxiang, but in Chang'an. It seemed that there were some things that were difficult to continue, so he stopped talking.

Wang Can's face flushed a little, and he glanced at Fei Qian who seemed to be thinking, and couldn't help being angry and anxious, and distinguished: "Mr. Liu! This kindness is true for Liu Jingzhou's food and clothing. Liu Jingzhou didn't accept any of them, so it's not false! If you don't accept anything, what's the use of keeping it?"

   "Ru..." Liu Qi pointed at Wang Can, and finally snorted, turned his head away, breathing heavily, obviously suppressing his anger. It seemed that if Liu Qi hadn't realized that he was now in the hall of General Hussars, he might have jumped up long ago.

   It was Wang Can who recovered earlier, bowed his hands to Fei Qian and apologized, "I'm sorry for being rude in front of the hussar seat, I hope the general will forgive me."

Fei Qian watched the play for a while, and just found it interesting, he waved his hand indifferently, and said: "This time Naimou is not, I thought that both of you are from Jingxiang, they are kind of kind... ahaha, but unexpectedly lost The two of you are kind, and at that time, I will punish myself with a cup to make amends..."

  Liu Qi could be regarded as reacting at this time, and also said: "How dare... How dare... I will lose my composure in the next moment, I will lose my composure... I hope General Haihan..."

Fei Qian was naturally very magnanimous towards Liu Qi, who was obviously not very smart, and said with a smile, "It's okay! It's my fault! Mr. Liu, don't worry about it!" Almost, he belongs to the kind of good boy who is sold and counts the money for others.

   No wonder there was a joke about going up the house and pulling the ladder, which was obviously played by Liu Bei and Brother Zhu, and Liu Qi believed it...

  Brother Zhu has no good intentions. It seems that he is thinking of Liu Qi, but in fact he is laying an ambush for Liu Bei.

  Historically, Liu Qi chose out of the town by himself. On the surface, it seemed that he avoided the risk, but in fact he completely lost his status and reputation. If Liu Qi had chosen to stay in Xiangyang at that time, he would have won the support of others if he made it clear that the chariots and horses were competing for the position of successor. In troubled times, who wants their monarch to be a coward? Being tough isn't necessarily bad. Even if Cai wanted to kill Liu Qi, he didn't dare to do it lightly, otherwise the notoriety of a brother killing his brother would not be so easy to eliminate.

   In addition, Liu Biao did not express his position at the time, which means that Liu Biao himself did not make a final decision. As a result, Liu Qi himself was fine. If he said that he was outside the town, wouldn't it be tantamount to giving up on himself? So for those who originally supported Liu Qi, it is no less than a blow. Who will think that Liu Qi can inherit the great cause in the future?

So on the one hand, Brother Zhu stabbed Liu Qi's original support point, and on the other hand left a back door that can be used to attack Liu Cong. With a few words, he laid the foundation for Liu Bei to take over Jingzhou in advance, and at the same time said that he is I only said it under Liu Qi's coercion, otherwise I wouldn't have said it, the outside and the inside are very glamorous...

No wonder when Liu Qi died, Liu Da'er was still in tears. Indeed, such a good nephew, such a kind nephew, is simply once in a hundred years. After death, he can no longer be cheated, and the name of Jingzhou can no longer be used. What a pity!

  Thinking of this, Fei Qian looked at Liu Qi with more kind eyes, "The climate in the northwest is very different from that of Jingxiang. If Mr. Liu is not used to anything, just say it directly. Don't be polite!"

   "Ah? Ah..." Liu Qi couldn't figure it out, so he could only nod his head in thanks, "Thank you, General..."

"You don't need to be so polite!" Fei Qian said with a smile, "Speaking of which, you and I are somewhat related, and we treat it as our own family here!" From a different point of view, Lao Liu and Lao Huang both married daughters of the Cai family...

  After comforting Liu Qi, Fei Qian turned his head to look at Wang Can, and asked with a smile, "I don't know what strategy Zhongxuan proposed to Liu Jingzhou? Liu Jingzhou didn't even adopt it?"

   "This..." Wang Can was stunned, not knowing how to answer for a moment. Just now in a hurry, he said that he left Jingxiang because he was not accepted and reused. Although it was true, but thinking about it now, Wang Can realized that there was something wrong with such a statement.

Because they are not reused, if they don’t take suggestions, they will quit. Although this kind of behavior is more common in later generations, but now in the Han Dynasty, when loyalty and filial piety were emphasized, oh, if you don’t give advice, you can throw your sleeves and leave. Who would dare to do this in the future? people? However, there is no way to tell lies, after all Liu Qi is sitting here now, even without Liu Qi, couldn't Fei Qian send someone to Jingxiang to ask questions?

   In desperation, Wang Can could only say: "A certain person advised Liu Jingzhou to welcome the emperor..."

   "Oh..." Fei Qian nodded.

  How could Liu Biao welcome the emperor?

   Unless Liu Biao is crazy.

Liu Biao himself is the clan of the Han family, which means that if the Han family of Liu Xie is really finished, Liu Biao is eligible to inherit the throne of the Han family, then for people like Liu Biao, it is good to welcome the emperor, Or is it better not to welcome the Son of Heaven?

   This point can be seen from the pitifully small supplies that Liu Biao sent out when Liu Xie arrived in Luoyang. After all, Luoyang is not far from Jingxiang, and Jingxiang is not poor, but Liu Biao is just meaning, not as much as a prefect sponsor.

"The Son of Heaven is held hostage by Cao's bandits in Xu County!" Whether it is for public or private purposes, Wang Can needs to maintain his image of worrying about the country and the Son of Heaven, and then running around in search of saving the Son of Heaven, so he continued, " The Son of Heaven is in dire straits and has nothing to rely on, so please hurry up and save the Son of Heaven!"

   Naturally, Fei Qian could not say that he was unwilling to welcome the Son of Heaven, but Fei Qian had already had a countermeasure, and immediately said: "I didn't hear what Zhongxuan said, and I thought that the Son of Heaven was safe in Xu County... I never thought about it, oh..."

Pang Tong understood, and said with a little surprise: "What Zhongxuan said... seems to be a bit... aha, it's not that someone has doubts, but someone heard...the emperor married Cao's daughter and made her his queen... this... seems to be consistent with What Zhongxuan said is slightly different?"

  Wang Can was dumbfounded. Liu Xie married Cao Cao's daughter? Since Pang Tong said so, it is naturally impossible to be false. After all, this kind of thing has a lot to do with it, and it can be found out as soon as it is checked. But when did this happen? Didn't Cao Cao kill Dong Guiren? Then Liu Xie and Cao Cao reconciled? How is this fat four? !

   "It's definitely the Cao thief who coerced him!" At this point, Wang Can naturally refused to let go, "I don't know what method the Cao thief used!"

   Well, I guessed what you'd say...

Fei Qian nodded, then shook his head again, and said: "If the Son of Heaven is held hostage by thieves, I can't just sit idly by... But if Cao Sikong is not at fault, and I send troops rashly, it will be harmful to the community... It's really a dilemma! "

Pang Tong said beside him: "General Qi, a few days ago, the Qiao family in Chuanzhong requested to erect the statue of Emperor Guangwu... If this is not the reason, please ask Zhongxuan and Qiao family to go to Xu County together, and then I will play the request tomorrow." Regarding the matter of erecting a statue, it is possible to probe into His Majesty's safety... If His Majesty wants to, he will issue an order immediately, so that he can have the name of being a teacher..."

   "So, the method of scholars and Yuan is a safe strategy..." Fei Qian turned his head to look at Wang Can, and said, "Zhongxuan is worried about the country, so I wonder if he is willing to take on this important task?"

   Fei Qian’s meaning is very clear. You, Wang Can, said that His Majesty is in dire straits and should be in great pain, but there is also news that His Majesty is now married to the Cao family, and may be very happy. So which one is real and which one is fake? Now there is a reason, why not use this reason to go to Xu County, if the emperor really feels uncomfortable, then only if he can get His Majesty's edict, Fei Qian will be famous for sending troops...

  Wang Can thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Can will live up to the general's entrustment!" On the one hand, what Fei Qian said was reasonable, and on the other hand, he couldn't help but agree to it now that he had reached this point.

   "Good!" Fei Qian stood up, stretched out his hand to invite, and said with a smile, "Today's banquet, one is to welcome the two of you, and the other is to wish Zhongxuan a smooth journey!"

The method is actually very simple. It is the tried-and-true method of kicking football in later generations. It is obvious that the two institutions can directly communicate with each other to confirm the matter. The parties must be sent to another institution to obtain certification documents, and then prove that "your father is your father, your mother is your father." It's your mother, you have to prove that you are your parents' child"...

  The so-called Liu Xie's imperial edict that Wang Can was asked to obtain is similar to this kind of proof.

   Fei Qian laughed, invited Liu Qi and Wang Can to move their positions, and then announced the start of the banquet. Amidst the intermingling of the cups and cups, although the smile on Fei Qian's face didn't change much, but looking at Wang Can, he felt a little thoughtful...

   It’s not that Fei Qian deliberately wanted to make things difficult for Wang Can, nor that Fei Qian had no confidence in the Emperor of Han, but that Fei Qian had no confidence in Liu Xie, thinking that Liu Xie couldn’t take such a responsibility…

  The emperor of the Han Dynasty, this position is not only an emperor, but also a symbol and a spirit.

   There is a saying that history is created by the people, but no one has ever said what the people are. Is it the original farming nation of China or the nomadic people around it? Does the ruler count as the people? If it doesn't count, then can Fei Qian count now?

  Royalists, perhaps the last glory of the big man.

   What should be the attitude towards the royalist party of the big man? In fact, Fei Qian is also a little conflicted, a little moved, and a little headache.

In Wang Can's thinking, one thing is very correct, that is, the imperial power of the Han Dynasty is indeed too weak for the current situation. It has no control over the military, and it has also lost the right to speak culturally. There is no strong control over officials on the Internet, and there is only a golden signboard that has been cultivated for hundreds of years among the people.

   And such a gold-lettered signboard, such a statue of a big man, still fell in the end, which represented the shattering of the myth of "Son of Heaven", and also gave rise to many problems...

  Chinese civilization is not those scriptures, nor is it a simple book.

   It should be the torch passed down from generation to generation, the subtle self-esteem and self-confidence, the brilliant art and literature...

   It should be the blood of throwing a pen and serving in the army, and the memory of returning to the homeland after being trapped abroad for more than ten years, or even decades...

   It should also be the majesty of being able to shout that offenders will be punished even if they are far away, and it should also be the quality of a nation's tenacity and struggle...

  But why did the descendants of such a civilization appear in the later dynasty to "keep their hair but not their head"? There will be "rather with foreigners than with domestic slaves", why will there be "measure the material resources of China, and unite with the country's favor"?

  The point is, why are there still a large number of original Chinese people who still obey such a ruler, and even risk their lives to be a "framer"? The key is that in the post-civilization era when information is highly disseminated in later generations, there are still people who think that the braided dynasty is very good, and the princess is long and the Baylor is short, and they lament that they were not born at the right time.

  Fei Qian didn't understand before, but now he understands a little bit, but he can't say he fully understands it.

Cao Cao may have understood a little bit in the end, so although Cao Cao wanted to be emperor very much, he held back in the end and didn't do anything. His son Cao Pi saw that his father had never done it, and thought that if he did, wouldn't he? Does that mean he is stronger than his father? So before China was unified, Liu Xie couldn't wait to abdicate.

So this time, Fei Qian sent Wang Can to Xu County, not entirely to deal with it, but not entirely to deceive, but to take advantage of this opportunity to see how many people like Wang Can are still among the current big men. people. And how should such a person be guided in the next step of the plan...
