Chapter 157 Three things to say
Coincidentally, Yao Chong is now living in the yard where Gan Jing and the others lived before, and Liu Xie found him without much effort.

However, although such talents are down and out, they are high-spirited and arrogant. It is not something that Liu Xie can say in a few words and bow to them.

Fortunately, Liu Xie still remembered that when the system implanted Yao Chong's identity, he said that he deeply agreed with his people-oriented political philosophy. Liu Xie used this as a breakthrough and asked him: "Yuanzhi is full of poetry. Books, full of great talents, but don't know what is the way to govern the country?"

Yao Chong did not answer directly, but instead threw the question back to Liu Xie, saying: "Since your Highness has asked this question, he must have thought about it a long time ago, and he must have a very high opinion. Yao Chong is a man in cold clothes, how dare he play tricks, and is willing to listen attentively. .”

Liu Xie seemed to know that he would say this a long time ago, smiled and said: "The ancient sage once said: 'The king's boat and the people's water, the water can carry the boat, and it can also capsize the boat.' If the country is prosperous and the people live and work in peace and contentment, Then those in power must implement benevolent government, follow the hearts of the people, be close to virtuous ministers, keep away from treacherous officials, constantly cultivate virtue in the world, persevere day and night, and never stop in cold and heat."

Yao Chong shook his head and said: "As Your Highness said, these are the words of the sages, Xunzi's quotations, which can be used to advise the king, and to teach the people, so as to rejuvenate the country and the people, and benefit the future. Although it is a golden and jade good word, it is not the words of Your Highness."

"Why is Yuanzhi so persistent? What are the words of the sages, what are the opinions of the people, as long as they can benefit the country and the people, it is a useful law and a policy for governing the country. I can listen to it, accept it, and push it into practice. There are three thousand roads, and the small roads are even worse. It is already difficult to imitate the sages of the ancients, so why force yourself to open up a road that even many sages have never walked?" Liu Xie did not deny it, but took the opportunity to retort strongly.

"Your Highness is free and unrestrained. Such an eclectic mind is admirable, but he sees it much more clearly than I do. I also know His Highness's intentions. It's just that His Highness wants me to be an official, and he has to agree to a few conditions."

Yao Chong didn't expect Liu Xie to be so eloquent, but what he said was indeed reasonable, like the dawn of the evening drum and the morning bell, which made him unravel, and many of the previous confusion and paranoia became clear.In addition to admiration, he stopped being hypocritical and confessed that he would ask for his allegiance.

"Damn, isn't this Yao Chong summoned by me? It's fine to subdue it, why is it so difficult. I have racked my brains to deal with the bunch of nonsense just now, and I have to deal with it now." I agreed to his conditions, this guy treats me as Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, do you want to talk about ten things?" Liu Xie kept his expression on his face, but his mind was already full of thoughts, and the river was overwhelmed.

"It's okay to say it's far away!" At this point, Liu Xie couldn't stop listening.

"His Royal Highness acts, the first is to put benevolence and righteousness before politics; the second is to practice the rule of law; the third is to respect the virtuous and corporal regardless of background. Your Highness agrees to these three, and Yao Chong will be a minister." Yao Chong looked intently and seriously. said.

"It's really ten things to say, but how come it becomes three things to say to me? This is looking down on people. Li Longji, who is just a mere man, can he compare with me?" Liu Xie was very unconvinced.

"Okay, Gu agrees." Although he thought so in his heart, Liu Xie would not be so stupid as to say it to make it more difficult for him to justify himself, and just accept it when he sees it.

"Yao worships to see the lord." Seeing Liu Xie agreed, Yao Chong didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately knelt down and performed the ceremony of emperor and minister to determine the status of master and servant.

"Okay, if we are far away today, Yanzhou will have nothing to worry about." Liu Xie was very happy to finally subdue Yao Chong, and immediately stepped forward to help him up himself.

"Hearing what Your Highness said just now, Your Highness wants me to assist Mr. Song in governing Yanzhou?"

Yao Chong was a little surprised. If Liu Xie knew that he had some talents, it could be said that his cousin told him, but now he dared to promote himself to the position of Song Lian's deputy in such a bold way. He really couldn't believe it. .Although he has confidence in his talent, how does Liu Xie know and firmly believe that he has this ability.

"At an extraordinary time, we should do extraordinary things. I am about to lead the army to discuss Dong Huimeng, Yanzhou is new, and a thousand wastes are waiting for prosperity. I can't bear Song Gong to do it alone. It's too exhausting. I will promote you directly now. As Song Gong's deputy, this is not only your opportunity, but also your test. I can fight for you and give you a high position, but if you really don't have the ability to make achievements to convince the public, you don't need them to advise you. I will dismiss and punish you first, understand?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, Yao Chongding has lived up to His Highness's trust, and will go all out to make Yanzhou look brand new, and let the world know that His Highness has not misjudged anyone."

"Okay, you have this confidence, and I also believe that you have this ability, then I will wait and see, and see Yuanzhi show his talents."

"Zhongkang, take Yuanzhi over in a while and tell Duke Song what I mean. Remember, please treat him equally and don't give Yuanzhi any special treatment." Liu Xie told Xu Chu, bluntly, Obviously, this was also for Yao Chong.

"Here." Xu Chu and Yao Chongqi bowed in response.

After Yao Chong's matter was settled, Liu Xie had nothing to do and could take a rest for a while.He has sent an order to the generals, and three days later, he will lead the troops to Yingchuan to attend the meeting.

Now, the scale of the board of directors under his command is basically finalized.On the side of civil servants, there are Yu Yunwen and Han Yuzhou, one with unparalleled strategies and schemes, and one with missing information; on the side of military generals, Li Cunxiao, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Xue Li who has just been summoned. He was not afraid at all, and with Li Dian and Yu Jin's [-] soldiers supporting him, this trip was already safe.

However, Liu Xie suddenly thought of a problem. The eighteen princes in the novel occupied Yanzhou because of their appearance. Among them, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, and Bao Xin, the governor of Jinbei. As well as Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, among the five princes, three of them died in his hands, and two of them are now just in name, without real power, and they are just titles of prefects under their command.

Although Qiao Mao and Yuan Yi did not commit any major crimes, Liu Xie would not be so stupid as to let them join the alliance. The [-] princes suddenly became the [-] princes. But it's interesting.Liu Xie is looking forward to whether other princes will join in by then.

Whether it will be Liu Biao, governor of Jingzhou, Zhang Lu, prefect of Hanzhong, or Liu Yan, governor of Yizhou, Liu Xie does not know.
