Seeing everyone looking at him, Liu He smiled bitterly in his heart, are you putting me on the fire?
Co-author Yuan Xi became friends with me. Is this what he had in mind?
Just as he was about to speak, Yuan Xi said: "Brother Liu, I have a few more words, please wait until I finish."
"Do you think that since the Yellow Turban Rebellion more than ten years ago and the world is now in ruins, how can the Han Dynasty be revived?"
"Ling Emperor, don't worry, don't you want the world to be peaceful today? But why is it like this?"
"The Baibo bandit commanders like Yang Feng and Han Siam were originally refugees who could not survive. Their original intention may have been just to survive, but after they rebelled, they turned into people who oppressed and robbed the people. These people can really help the Han people. Room?"
Yuan Xi pointed at Yan Rou: "During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han court recruited Wuhuan cavalry, but I heard that they were not even paid and were even treated as slaves, which caused them to flee one after another, right?"
After hearing this, Yan Rou smiled bitterly and said: "Young Master knows very well that not only Wuhuan Xianbei, but also Han people like us in the border areas are not looked down upon very much."
Everyone knew that the Han Dynasty adopted the policy of restraining the barbarians and using barbarians to control barbarians, but it only regarded the border people it recruited as tools. People did not worry about the number but the inequality. This was the source of the turmoil in the border areas.
Yuan Xi nodded and said: "I hope you will think carefully about what the problem is."
"I agree to serve the emperor, but I don't agree to imitate Dong Zhuo."
"But in the future, what should the officials and people of Youzhou do if they encounter what Wuhuan cavalry did that day?"
When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled. Yuan Xi was reminding them that if the emperor was wronged, how would they make a choice?
This is also a problem that all princes in the world are facing now, because since the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the emperor's prestige has fallen as hard as it can.
What the emperor Liu Xie can offer now are all false official positions, which seem to be high and powerful, but they are just good-sounding names. However, the expansion of the power of the princes today requires real things such as territory, population, money and food.
Nowadays, there are not many benefits to be gained by flattering Liu Xie, but there are actually a lot of troubles to deal with. If other forces insist on not letting go, then they must be prepared for war.
Guo Jia spoke up: "A gentleman does things without caring about his heart."
"Since you want to do it, Master, I will give you some ideas."
"It is not advisable to serve the Emperor too early. If you do so too early, others will stalk the cicadas, followed by the oriole."
"It is not appropriate to send out a large army, as this will be feared by everyone and become the target of public criticism."
"It's not appropriate to take a stand, lest you be criticized by the world."
"It is not appropriate to join forces with other parties, lest we overwhelm the emperor and allow him to be controlled again."
Everyone took a breath. Guo Jia meant to control it appropriately, but was this speed too difficult to control?
Yuan Xi laughed after hearing this, "Mr. Fengxiao still knows me. If he doesn't come up with ideas, I will really be blinded."
Guo Jia said angrily: "Then young master, hurry up and find a counselor!"
"Youzhou is such a big place, can't you find people?"
Although everyone despises Guo Jia for his stinky fart, they have to admit that the Runan Yingchuan noble clan has produced many talented and beautiful people in recent years, and they have occupied important positions among the princes of all parties.
Not to mention Xun's Eight Dragons, others such as Xi Zhicai, Yuedan Ping's Xu Shao, Guo Tu, Liu Ye, and later Lu Meng were all from this place.
Even Yuan Shao was born in Runan. He instigated the whole process of He Jin's eradication of eunuchs and played with everyone. He was quite a counselor, but in the end Dong Zhuo just picked the peach.
"Book of Jin" records: "When the Three Plains prospered, Gu said to the officials: "The ancients said that when a prime minister comes out of Guandong and a general comes out of Guanxi, the people of the Three Qin Dynasties will be distinguished, and you will have many extraordinary people. "
The emergence of counselors from Yingchuan in Runan is inseparable from the general environment. Scholars often gather together to discuss major world affairs. The so-called brainstorming will naturally broaden their horizons.
Ru Yingshi was powerful and needed to be restrained by other forces. Yuan Shao appointed Xu You and Pang Ji from Nanyang as a balance. But even so, the relationship between Yuan Shao's advisers was still extremely complicated.
That's why Ju Shou, whose temperament and philosophy were different from those of Yuan Shao, was pushed to Youzhou, which actually gave Yuan Xi an advantage.
You must know that Jushou's comprehensive ability alone ranks among the top three among Yuan Shao's counselors.
However, Yuan Xi still can't figure out Ju Shou's thoughts, especially on the matter of welcoming the emperor. There must be some other reasons why he can send three urgent messages in a row, right?
Therefore, Yuan Xi gathered everyone together in order to be honest and let everyone express their true thoughts.
The relationship between flattering the emperor is very important and requires everyone to work together. If everyone has their own ideas, things will definitely not work out.
Yuan Xi saw that Tian Yu didn't speak from the beginning to the end, so he said: "Brother Guorang, I want to hear your opinion."
Tian Yu was helpless, thinking that he still couldn't escape.
In fact, compared to Zhao Yun and Tai Shi Ci, who each led the army and took charge of their own affairs, Tian Yu is the one who is following Yuan Xi and is most valued by him.
Yuan Xi gave Tian Yu a variety of tasks, but they were all the most important ones, which showed that Tian Yu was highly trusted by Yuan Xi.
In Tian Yu's own opinion, this is simply unbelievable.
Because more than half a year ago, the two of them were fighting to death near Yijing, and Tian Yu had personally assassinated Yuan Xi. At the beginning, Tian Yu didn't think Yuan Xi could understand his thoughts.
However, the scene where Yuan Xi bowed to the dying Tian Kai and the two cherished each other on the Jingwang Tower greatly touched Tian Yu, making the grudge in his chest seem to be swept away.
Tian Yu discovered that although Yuan Xi seemed to be frivolous, he actually fulfilled his promise seriously and truly understood their difficulties and difficulties as subordinates!
From then on, Tian Kai made up his mind. Since Yuan Xi was the person Tian Kai admired, he wanted to see how far Yuan Xi could go.
Tian Kai had been with Yuan Xi for a long time, and he had already guessed his thoughts. Yuan Xi was very creative, and what he did was very different from the Han-made legacy. How could such a person be inferior to others!
Although what Yuan Xi asked Tian Yu to do was dangerous, Tian Yu didn't feel that Yuan Xi was harming himself. Instead, he had a sense of knowing and appreciating him. Isn't he just rebelling? I'm also very interested. The world is in What will it look like in Yuan Xi's hands!
Now Tian Yu saw that Yuan Xi asked him to speak. After thinking for a while, he said: "When Liu Hou was alive, he spread good governance in Youzhou and recuperated with the people."
"The people of Youzhou live together as Han and Hu, but Liu Hou treats them all equally. Therefore, at that time, only Liu Hou, and not the Emperor, was heard in the ears of Yu."
After hearing this, Liu He's face froze at first, and he thought to himself, what did Tian Yu mean? Isn't this putting me on the fire?
If this word reaches Han Ting's ears, how can I survive?
And because you admired my father so much, didn’t you end up clinging to Gongsun Zan?
Tian Yu paused for a moment, then said: "Marquis Liu has a very good reputation for his treatment of the people, but Yu's previous lord, General Gongsun, often used troops to plunder his own people. It was quite difficult for me to deal with it at that time."
"Gong Xuande was very kind to me, but even so, Yu did not betray General Gongsun, all because General Gongsun was the leader of Yu."
"Once a person has been favored, it is difficult to make a choice, especially when he has been favored by many people."
"The household registration of Yu comes from the emperor, the fortune of Yu comes from General Gongsun, the official position of Yu comes from the prince, and the salary of Yu comes from the common people."
"Then how can you distinguish the importance of repaying a favor?"
"If General Gongsun is still alive, it will be extremely difficult for Yu to make up his mind if he turns to the young master, right?"
Some of the people present were confused, but Liu He, Yan Rou, who understood Tian Yu's character, and Guo Jia Jushou, who was astute, heard something between the lines, and Liu He's expression changed slightly.
Tian Yu's words may seem like a lot of nonsense, but they are the clearest statement among everyone, and also have the most cruel connotations.
The first meaning is that unless the lord he chooses dies, he will stay with him forever.
The second meaning is that he does not judge by the order of kindness. There must be a priority between the emperor and the young master. As for who comes first and who comes last, everyone should be aware of it.
Guo Jia thought to himself that there really are people like Tian Yu in the world who are good at whatever they do. It is difficult for ordinary counselors to say such meaningful things!
Tian Yu's words wiped away the last worries of Yuan Xi's subordinates. They truly understood that now, there is actually no way back.
Everyone said in unison: "I am willing to obey the master's orders!"
Yuan Xi said: "I understand."
"I'll talk about the next arrangements."
"Jicheng is the administrative seat of Youzhou."
"After the spring plowing, soldiers and horses were recruited from various cities in Youzhou for training, with Zilong as the main general, Brother Yan as the assistant, and Gong and Mr. as the supervisor. After the summer harvest, troops were sent to Heishan."
"At the same time, I would like to invite Mr. Han Yu as a special envoy to visit Hanoi to negotiate with Marquis Wen."
"As for the city guard of Jicheng, Brother Liu will temporarily take over."
After everyone heard this, they felt good. It was clear that Xu You in Beixin City was going to be sidelined.
Originally, Yuan Shang assigned Xu You to work as a nail maker in Beixin City, but Yuan Xi simply changed his post and left Xu You somewhere.
After the discussion was over, everyone went about their business and left one after another.
However, Yuan Xi's orders to everyone were just a cover-up, and several of them actually had other plans.
Guo Jia found Yuan Xi at this time and said: "I'm afraid it's hard to find a disciple, but I remembered someone who is very suitable to be a counselor."
Yuan Xi thought to himself: Could it be that Guo Jia really wanted to come out all the time? Maybe he saw Ju Shou coming and felt threatened?
He asked casually: "Who is it?"
Guo Jia said: "Liu Ye, named Ziyang, was born in Chengde, Huainan."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi wondered why he had forgotten this person!
He hurriedly asked: "Where is this person?"
Guo Jiadao: "It should be at the residence of Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang."
Yuan Xi was speechless after hearing this. Isn't this the Lujiang prefect appointed by Yuan Shu after Sun Ce captured Lujiang a few days ago?
Can he still go to Yuan Shu's side to poach him?
I'm afraid that Sun Ce will kill him before they arrive, right?
Thinking of the ulterior affair between himself and Mrs. Wu, Yuan Xi felt guilty. If Sun Ce really wanted to know the truth, what the other party would give him would definitely not be a father's call, but a stab in the head.
