Xun You sat up on the spot, picked up a piece of gravel, and knocked on the ground.
He began to draw a blueprint for the world for Sun Yu.
"Ming Gong's execution of Dong Zhuo was an act of conformity to the popularity of the people at home."
"No one in the world dares to disobey."
"For the present plan, we should promptly correct the royal family and welcome the emperor to return to power."
"Then the ministers dare not say a word."
"As for the princes outside the Pass, they are all nothing to fear from the army of ants."
"Luoyang is bordered by Mang Mountain to the north, Luoshui to the south, Qinling Mountains to the west, and Hulao Pass to the east."
"The mountains are green and the fields are fertile for thousands of miles. It can be said to be a heaven-sent treasure."
"Emperor Guangwu revived the empire here and continued our great Han Dynasty for more than two hundred years."
"And Ming Gong has already taken possession of this land of Longxing, what more can he ask for?"
Xun You advocated using Luoyang as a base, which coincided with Sun Yu's idea.
As the capital of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang is the political and cultural center of the country.
It is also a commercial metropolis.
There are constant exchanges of merchants from various places, and there are many Linfang shops in the city.
Before Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, it was the greatest city in the world.
Xun You stroked his chin and beard and continued:
"Ming Gong ascended the throne to Hussar, and killed Dong Zhuo to respond to the popularity of the world. It was the time when the sun was at its peak."
"We should make good use of our immediate political prestige and firmly grasp military power."
"Unite your troops and act like a king."
Sun Yu curled his lips and smiled:
"Appreciate further details."
Xun You looked around and saw that Xu Rong and others had already retreated.
Now there were only him and Sun Yu, and there were no six ears around.
Then he said softly:
"The emperor is the lord of all peoples, and he cannot worship the ancestral temple without dignity."
"And today, when we are weak, it is the time when we need the help of Ming Gong."
"So you think that we should——"
"Serving the emperor and not obeying the orders, cultivating crops to accumulate military resources."
"Serve the Lord to obey the people's popularity, serve justice to obey the heroes."
Sun Yu raised his eyebrows, no wonder Xun You suddenly spoke so quietly.
His proposition can be summarized in one sentence:
He holds the emperor in his arms to command the princes, and he holds the edicts to control the four directions.
Some people may ask what is the use of holding the emperor hostage to order the princes.
The answer is two uses: political and ethical advantages and talent advantages.
The first is to gain the upper hand politically.
In ancient times, it was important for a teacher to become famous.
And "loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness" were the common beliefs and codes of conduct of people in society at that time.
As long as the emperor is in your hands, whoever you fight will be a traitor.
Secondly, it is the talent advantage.
Although the Han Dynasty was declining, there were still many talented people who were loyal to the Han Dynasty.
The representative figure is of course Xun Yu, who will be wherever the emperor is.
The second is professional soldiers like Xu Rong, as long as it is an order from the court.
He obeyed whoever was in power.
In addition, when Cao Cao welcomed the emperor to Xudu.
At that time, many Yingchuan celebrities in Jingzhou ran to say goodbye to Liu Biao.
The reason is: The emperor is in Xudu, and our way back has been found!
So he traveled thousands of miles to join Cao Cao.
These people are just the tip of the iceberg.
As long as you "hold the emperor hostage", a large number of people who are devoted to the Han will come to you.
While these people were subjectively loyal to the Han Dynasty, objectively they strengthened the power of those who "held the emperor hostage".
Sun Yu took Xun You's hand and patted it:
"This is a great plan. Sir, you really know my heart."
After all, the system has said that as long as you are domineering, you can get generous rewards.
Then what could be done to make the princes more tyrannical and domineering than holding the emperor hostage?
Xun You in turn held Sun Yu's hand tightly and said seriously:
"If Ming Gong wants to develop his grand ambitions, civil and military officials will be the first obstacle."
"Although this group of people shouted to help the Han Dynasty all day long, when Dong Zhuo deposed the emperor, few people dared to stand up and speak out."
"Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, all the ministers will definitely regard themselves as heroes."
"And he will also use his seniority to suppress Ming Gong."
Sun Yu nodded, agreeing very much with Xun You's words.
Instead of improving yourself, it is better to denigrate others.
This is the purpose of those Qingliu scholar-bureaucrats.
Xun You frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Ming Gong controls the imperial guards, which means he controls the court's right to speak."
"When we face the princes and ministers tomorrow, we can test them first."
"Let His Majesty grant you the title of Ninth Minister. If the ministers do not obey, he will use force to deter you."
"But don't kill recklessly, otherwise we will become like Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo."
Jiu Qing?
Haha, that's too conservative.
I'm going to take over immediately tomorrow.
If anyone dares to object, I will kill him.
It's just so horizontal.
Who makes me the villain?
Jiejie~
"Besides, there is another person worthy of our win."
Xun You changed the topic and said suddenly.
Sun Yu interrupted him and said:
"Let me guess."
"Queen Mother He."
Xun You nodded and praised:
"Ming Gong's wise eyes are as clear as watching fire."
"Now that the emperor is weak, in the past, the Queen Mother listened to politics behind the curtain."
“She has a strong voice.”
"If she is willing to stand on our side, no ministers will dare to speak out."
"but……"
But since then, this woman is smart and capable, and takes power very seriously.
Especially after experiencing Dong Zhuo's rebellion, he was particularly sensitive to powerful officials.
She made Sun Yu a hussar general, essentially to play a balance of power.
If Sun Yu is allowed to take over tomorrow, the distribution of power will be unbalanced.
This is definitely a situation that He Hou does not want to see.
"Gongda's words reminded me that we can still win over the Queen Mother's support."
"But how easy is it to win her over?"
"Hey, I don't need to worry about it anymore."
"I have my own way to ensure that she will stand by our side tomorrow."
"I'm going to Changle Palace now. As for other things, let me talk about it later!"
Sun Yu smiled sadly, thinking that he was leaving the imperial prison.
Go straight to Yongle Palace.
Yongle Palace is the residence of the Queen Mother.
As soon as Fang arrived at the door of the palace, he saw more than ten guards in brocade clothes wearing flying fish uniforms and embroidered spring knives hanging from their waists standing proudly in front of the door.
As soon as they saw Sun Yu, they all stepped forward to pay homage.
"Greetings, my lord!"
The sound shook the world, overwhelming the thunder.
Just as the system said, the imperial guards have automatically replaced the guards in the imperial city.
This group of people is responsible for guarding the Changle Palace area.
"I want to enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother, please hold the door."
"No one is allowed to come in and disturb you without my order."
All the royal guards shouted in unison:
"As you command!"
Sun Yu looked up to the sky and laughed, his heroism beyond words.
With these loyal hawks and dogs, let's see who dares to mess with me in the imperial city.
Without further words, Sun Yu strode directly into Changle Palace.
Arrive at He Hou's bedroom.
"Your Majesty, I have something to ask you to see me, Sun Yu."
A majestic and cold voice came from inside the curtain.
"come in!"
An antique, magnificent and ethereal hall appeared in front of you.
Incense was lit in the charcoal stove, filling the warm palace with an intoxicating aroma.
Sun Yu stepped forward and gently opened the bead curtain with his hand.
On the bed, a stunning woman held her head lazily.
She was wearing a white gauze skirt and a white jade crown.
The feet are bare and the white jade is flawless.
She has a pair of enchanting apricot eyes and a waist as soft as a snake.
And those bright red lips...
The woman's cold eyes moved slightly, looking at the young man who walked in.
The red lips are lightly opened, and the teeth are fragrant.
"The Cavalry General came to visit late at night. I don't know why?"
