Seeing that the speech was almost finished, Yan Qing put down the small wooden stick, sat down again, and looked at them with a smile: "What are the opinions of the two gentlemen?"

Jia Xu frowned slightly, still thinking.

Guo Jia pursed his lips, clasped his fingers, and heard for a while: "Jia has some doubts, so I need to ask the master first."

Yan Qing said without hesitation: "For filial piety, please tell me."

Guo Jia asked: "How do you want to inform the Sun Family Wentai?"

Yan Qing replied, "Tell me the truth."

Jia Xu raised her eyes and couldn't help but said, "This... seems inappropriate."

Guo Jia also shook his head: "Wentai is fierce and brave, but he is slightly inferior to Fengxian. It is understandable that the lord wants to use him again. However, although he was appointed and served in the lord's account, but He was favored by the emperor, he was able to serve as the prefect, he was granted the title of Marquis of Wucheng, and he was devoted to the Han Dynasty. He is a subject of His Majesty, no matter how much favor he has, it is hard to buy it."

"My lord took advantage of the chaos in Luoyang and used the name of rebellion to win Yanwangji. This is the reality of expanding the country. It is not difficult to hide it from him for a while, but it is definitely not a long-term solution. If he finds out, he will abandon me in a fit of anger Waiting for him to leave is only a small loss, I am afraid that if he temporarily hibernates and secretly informs the court, it will cause great disaster sooner or later. If the lord still insists on using him, he must take precautions early."

Yan Qing smiled and said: "Qing has already understood the concerns of the two gentlemen. But Qing doesn't think so."

Guo Jia raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Yan Qing coughed lightly, and said leisurely: "The current situation is turbulent, the world is in turmoil, disasters are frequent, and wars are endless. Your Majesty is indifferent to internal and external troubles, and the officials are also turning a blind eye.

Speaking of this, Yan Qing glanced at Jia Xu indifferently: "On this point, Mr. Wen He, who has been an official in the court for many years, must be clearer."

Jia Xu acquiesced.

Yan Qing didn't care either. After the usual opening remarks, he smiled slightly and asked Guo Jia, "I wonder how much Feng Xiao understands about Sun Wentai's resume?"

Guo Jiaqian said: "I only know a little bit."

Yan Qing nodded clearly, and said: "Let's not talk about it for now, anyway, he is not in front of me, and I can't listen to it if I exaggerate too much, it seems that I am at a loss."

Guo Jia took it for granted: "Isn't that true?"

After making a joke, Yan Qing continued: "There is only one thing, I have to tell the two of you - if I were to change any of the loyal ministers of the great Han, they might suspect that I had evil intentions, but Sun Wentai couldn't. "

Guo Jia supported his chin with one hand, tilted his head lazily and asked, "Why?"

"You ask that, but you don't know exactly how he came to be a Marquis." Yan Qing said with a smile: "When he was appointed as the prefect of Changsha, he faced a very similar situation. It was Yichun, a neighboring county. When he was attacked by the rebels, he hurriedly sent his horses to Changsha to ask for help, and without saying a word, he rectified the army and horses and sent troops to rescue him."

Jia Xu raised his beard and remained silent, Guo Jian frowned: "Is there such a thing?"

Yan Qing nodded: "At that time, he didn't have an imperial edict. He sent troops privately and crossed the border to conquer. He was giving others a handle. But why did he hesitate or fear?"

"The situation he faced back then was very similar to what I am now. Since this is the case, he is the least likely person in the army to question me."

Yan Qing smiled proudly, and it was rare for him to speak loudly: "I am now going to raise troops to the Northern Expedition, and I will risk my life to protect the people for the safety of the country, support the righteousness, consolidate the foundation of the country, and maintain the overall situation. Since I have a clear conscience, why can't I treat him with righteousness? Tell me frankly?"

"This is to eradicate rebellion on behalf of the imperial court, and to protect the people on behalf of the emperor. It is only because General Sun has great ambitions and coincidentally agrees with my ambitions that he has worked tirelessly and willingly to go through fire and water for the sake of the people of the world, not just a mere Yan."

The corners of Guo Jia's mouth twitched, he didn't want to expose the high-sounding words, but changed his words: "Once the lord has achieved great achievements, His Majesty may be afraid that you will not make your wish come true."

Yan Qing regretted: "If Your Majesty is really indistinguishable from the loyal and the evil, then when the time comes, will you be obedient to the yin and disobedient, or you will take over the role, or you will return to the Qing Dynasty in the capital..."

Yan Qing paused lightly and smiled slyly.

Her black eyes were as bright as stars, and her face was as pure as jade. Even Guo Jia, who was looking at all the flowers, couldn't help but shake his head.

It's a pity that what this rare beauty said after revealing her true nature is not at all wonderful: "Naturally, it depends on what the two gentlemen plan."

The lord is responsible for proposing ideas, and the counselors have to think hard to perfect them, and then the lord makes the final decision and makes a decision.

In other words, the master is in charge of waves, and the counselor is in charge of stability.

"..."

For this blatant behavior of dumping the pot, Guo Jia was resourceful and resourceful, but he was also choked hard by this brazenness that came so righteously.

"My lord's arrangement just now still needs to be perfected." Guo Jia relieved his breath, and said helplessly, "You might as well stay out for five days, let Jia Tong Wenhe discuss the details, and then talk to the lord."

Yan Qing's slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and she agreed with a smile: "That's very good, I'm sorry for the trouble."

"Good to say."

Guo Jia responded angrily, got up quickly, took the map, and wanted to leave the tent.

Jia Xu, who always slipped the fastest and talked the least, was uncharacteristically still sitting, sipping tea with her eyes closed, completely motionless.

Yan Qing didn't ask a word, as if he didn't know; Guo Jia didn't even glance, and went out without saying a word.

The sound of Guo Jia's footsteps gradually faded away, Yan Qing continued to review documents, and Jia Xu sipped tea in silence.

After an unknown amount of time, Jia Xu suddenly spoke, breaking the silence: "The tea is cold."

Yan Qing smiled, and took the conversation very naturally: "It can still be used as a mouthwash."

Jia Xu let out a long breath, put down the empty cup, and asked: "You can't have both, and swinging from side to side, lacking opinions, is a big taboo. The lord is high and important. Although he is far away from the capital, he still At this point, I don't know how many people are watching... it's not suitable for children's play."

Yan Qing asked back: "Wen He thinks, what do I mean?"

Jia Xu pondered for a while, and said: "Xu Yulu, at first I thought that the lord intended to separate one side and benefit the princes, and then wait for the opportunity to act after seeking development. In this way, you would rather stay away from Luoyang as soon as possible, and stay away from Luoyang as soon as possible. It makes sense to be honest with Mr. Wang."

Jia Xu took a look at Yan Qing, and tried to say: "Looking at it now, your attitude seems to have changed, and you are more like a loyal minister who is wholeheartedly for the country and the country, helping the Han and the Liu."

The protagonist can have an unfathomable city, and he should also have an attitude of adapting to changes, but he should not have ever-changing ambitions.

Yan Qing smiled lightly: "Wen He was joking. How cautious and cautious you are, if you really think that I am a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, how can you be so bold and dare to speak out?"

Jia Xu was not at all uncomfortable when his mind was broken, but Shi Shiran said: "My lord is wise. You are laughing at Xu's tricks."

Yan Qing laughed: "If even Wen He compares himself to a fool, there will be no wise men in the world."

Without waiting for Jia Xu to be humble, he waved his hand: "Since Wen He asked, I have no reason not to answer."

Jia Xu listened with bated breath.

Yan Qing was silent for a moment, and finally opened his heart to Jia Xu, who rarely showed his sincere heart to him, and narrated his deep-seated ambition: "Change the dynasty, usurp the power and seize the throne... If the destiny is my destiny, I can do it myself." Let it go; if it's not there, don't force it."

"In my opinion, the most difficult key is not in the hands of His Majesty, but in the hands of the closely connected and numerous families. Even if I win the world one day, to them, it is just a change of person on the dragon chair. The interests held by the behemoth cannot be shaken in the slightest."

"Now that the ten permanent attendants have been wiped out, the eunuchs are like frightened birds, and it is difficult to make trouble again; the relatives are going to decline, and relying on Wuyang Jun's line (the mother of the Empress Dowager) alone is difficult to support. Even if it takes time, it will be difficult to achieve success; and Only the Yuan family’s high-ranking families are united, but they are as powerful as the sky, and their power is deep. There is no power to fight against them, let Your Majesty use the way of checks and balances.”

"They have been officials for generations, and most of the officials in the imperial court are from the proud family. Their disciples and old officials are all over the world, and their influence is deeply rooted; I have to rely on them; I often hug them into groups, and the relationship between in-laws and relatives is intricate, and it's just one hair that affects the whole body... No matter how high an official position I have, no matter how many soldiers I have, if I want to move them, I'm afraid I will end up with no name, and I will end up like a cart. What we are facing is not only the common revenge of the gentry, but also the verbal criticism of the gentry class."

Speaking of this, Yan Qing smiled coldly: "But, why?"

"As long as you are born in an aristocratic family, you can be pampered and receive the best education. But even if it is a wine bag, an embroidered pillow, a child full of straw, and no learning or skill, as long as you rely on the elders' kindness and work a little bit, You can easily promote Xiaolian and embark on the official career that the Han family dreamed of, and the journey will be smooth and smooth..."

"But when troubled times come, among those who monopolize high-ranking officials, very few stand up. Most of them are wise and safe, stay out of the matter, wait and see the changes, disregard the life and death of the people, and only want to make their families invincible place!"

"Take Sun Wentai as an example. At the age of seventeen, he dared to single-handedly face the bandits without fear; later he rashly sent troops to rescue Lin County without fear of being cut off from his official career; despite the wind and rain, he earned a lot of military exploits with his life, and was able to be named a marquis .”

"But in the eyes of these boastful talkers, they can only see that there is a melon farmer's father in Wentai, who comes from a humble background in a small family, and is not worthy of being with them! In the end, he was despised and contemptuous by his immediate boss Wang Rui, who thought it was nothing He is a reckless warrior with little culture and virtue; although his colleague Zhang Zi is a local celebrity, he has always looked down on him, sneered at him, and often ignored his orders. But Wentai has a good stomach and has been patient with them."

"True integrity, such as Xun Wenruo, Xun Gongda, Cui Jigui... are admirable. But they are only rare. More, they are still ignorant of their ancestors, only cast a good baby, but they have learned to boast and play. It's a trick of 'talking about one's heart with one's hands at ordinary times, and repaying the king with one's death'."

"Usually shrink back, have nowhere to go, don't even dare to go to the battlefield, just give up your life in a cowardly manner, but this can also be praised by the great praise, and the name will last forever; on the contrary, it is the soldiers who defend the country and fight bloody battles Their lives are nameless, their bones withered by the roadside!"

"Feng Xian hasn't finished reading Zuo Zhuan. In their eyes, I'm afraid he's just a soldier who doesn't know how to read and write."

"However, it is this reckless man who, on the battlefield, is heroic enough to defeat the Yellow Turban bandits and Xiliang's rebellion. He has saved countless innocent people from more looting and war."

"Could it be that the [-]th grandson of Confucius who was busy inviting guests to a banquet every day, drinking and composing poems; or Xu Si who was busy asking for fields and homes, regardless of the country's danger; Runan Xu Shao, who commented on calligraphy and painting..."

Yan Qing laughed mockingly: "Some so-called celebrities are really stupid. They also look down on Fengxian Wentai, so that they can compare themselves to Honghu. I would like to know, just relying on these hands has no power to restrain chickens, and there is no way to serve the country. Zhi, a nerd who knows a little bit of literature and ink and knows a few allusions, but is invincible, why should he be compared with these two once-in-a-lifetime heroes?! It’s too flattering for them!”

However, a real celebrity with a heart and spirit will not be pretentious, but practice humility and self-denial.

At this moment, Yan Qing couldn't help thinking of those monarchs in the Three Kingdoms period.

They were also going against the current, trying to establish a ruling system with poor students as the core, but it was a pity that they died before they succeeded, and their success fell short.

As soon as Cao Cao died, the aristocratic clan who had been severely suppressed by him immediately counterattacked. Headed by Chen Qun, he proposed the "Nine Ranks of Zhongzheng System" to protect the interests of the clan, in order to reach a deal of respecting Cao Pi as emperor.

As soon as Zhuge Liang, who was in the town of Shuhan, went, the local scholar group in Yizhou, headed by Qiao Zhou, couldn't wait to persuade Liu Chan to surrender.

In the end, the great country was destroyed by Dong Zhuo at first, but it was not acquired by the Yuan family, the mainstay of the original family, but after a hundred years, it still fell into the hands of one of the representatives of the gentry, the Sima family.

This is a road that has been walked by predecessors in history books, and all roads lead to the same goal, but all of them have failed.

Yan Qing wanted to leave on purpose, but he had to: In terms of being close to the aristocratic family, who can surpass the current Yuan family?It would be foolish to use one's own shortcomings to gain the other's strengths.

Yan Qing's most important descendants, whether it is Guo Jia Jia Xu, or Lu Bu Zhang Liao Gao Shun, are all from poor families. In the eyes of others, they have also left this deep imprint and have to leave.

When the time is right, Yan Qing is ready to turn this disadvantage into an advantage, and will gradually promote "teaching without distinction" and "only talents" under the rule.

No matter which one it is, it is destined to touch the backs of the family that has always been the only one who respects itself and prides itself on being superior to others.

——The so-called timing is naturally the moment when the world is completely in chaos, and those people are most preoccupied and unable to stand in the way.

Yan Qing has already seen through: he is single and weak, no matter how hard he tries, he will not be able to stop the trend of chaos.

It is also unrealistic to build a paradise in the chaotic soil alone.

Since there is no hiding and no avoiding, the only thing left is to meet the difficulties and go straight.

——If the overall situation is destined to be out of his control,

——The general trend must be used by him!

After Yan Qing finished speaking, she looked at Jia Xu quietly, her eyes seemed to be lacquered, quiet and deep.

There was a dead silence in the tent.

After a long time, Jia Xu let out a long breath, and that sigh became extra clear.

Unknowingly, his forehead was covered with a fine layer of cold sweat.

There was another burst of coolness rushing up the spine.

It is necessary to shake the transcendent status of the aristocratic families all over the world with a single force, destroy the noble foundation they are proud of, and break the power distribution and structure that have been monopolized by the central government for many years...

It's simply whimsical, wishful thinking, and frighteningly crazy.

That was much more serious than his original guess of 'usurping the throne and overthrowing the Han Dynasty', or even being slightly suspicious of 'no plan, no assertiveness', and it was much more difficult, too much!

Seeing that Jia Xu, who had always been calm and composed, Yan Qing seldom showed any confusion, but she suddenly loosened her frowning brows, and a slight smile appeared on the corners of her lips.

He has an outstanding appearance that can hardly be picked by anyone, and he can be called handsome. He has a gentle and elegant demeanor, and he is more like a banished fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world, rather than an ambitious planner.

If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, Jia Xu wouldn't have believed it. The person in front of him was the one who was so impassioned and dropped the shocking words.

Yan Qing looked at Jia Xu with a smile: "Mr. Wen He."

Distracted for a moment by the handsome face so close at hand, Jia Xu realized that the lord had already moved the mat to his side without knowing when.

Before he could dodge a little bit, Yan Qing stretched out her hand, while gently stroking his slightly stiff back, while stroking the back of his cold hand, she said maliciously: "The words that Qing just said, just Even Feng Xiao has never heard of it, except for the knowledge of heaven and earth, only you know and I know."

The implication of the words can be said to be obvious: he was never forced before, but this thief ship has now been found by him and he has really boarded it, so don't think about it easily in the future.

Yan Qing deliberately spoke clearly and thoroughly, leaving no room for pretending to be stupid.

Jia Xu smiled wryly.

He started first... but he really wanted to test it out a little.

How could you get yourself into it in the blink of an eye?
