I am not in the position of Zen [Three Kingdoms]

On the matter of dividing the fields, the three of them talked happily.When he got an invitation from a scholar, Liu Xie readily agreed.

The blue-clothed scholar's house is not big, but it is clean and tidy.In the house, a young woman is doing needlework, and beside her is a [-]-year-old boy who is writing big characters with a pen.The scholar gave some instructions in a low voice, and the woman in the coarse cloth went to the kitchen, and after a while, a plate of boiled beans and a jug of turbid wine were brought out.

During the Han Dynasty, the two-meal system was popular, and the lunch was often handled hastily. A plate of boiled beans and a pot of turbid wine at noon at noon are already a better treat in this countryside.

The scholar poured the wine himself, and Liu Xie quickly thanked him.

The little boy went up to Lu Bu and Liu Xie politely and said hello.

Liu Xie saw that the little boy was very cute, so he took out caramel from his sleeve and gave it to him, and said with a smile, "Come on, brother treats you to some candy."

The little boy looked at the blue-clothed scholar eagerly, saw him nodding, and just took it.After thanking crisply, the little boy nestled in the scholar's arms, happily licked the candy, and looked at the two strangers curiously with his big eyes blinking.

"This is my husband's son? How old is this year?"

"It's my elder brother's son. He has been living with me since he was a child. He is five years old this year."

Liu Xie went to tease the child: "What's your name?"

The child said obediently, "My name is Xiyan."

"Good name," Liu Xie said with a smile, "at the age of enlightenment, there are free primary classes at the Luoyang School in Beijing, why didn't you send your child there?"

"Anyway, it's calligraphy. It's the same at home. It's not too late to send it to school when you're older."

Liu Xie nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "Mr. Guan's words on the wall are really extraordinary, and the lines in the poems have the meaning of showing great ambitions. The current emperor seeks talents and accepts advice. With Mr.'s talents and learning, why not go to Luoyang and rely on his talents?" , isn't the official position in Beijing easily available?"

"Luoyang is not a good place to go." The scholar took a sip of his wine and said with a smile, "Little brother, do you really think that the court can rest easy after Dong Zhuo's death?"

"Do you think there will be changes in Luoyang?" Lu Bu said coldly, "Dong Zhuo and the Yellow Turban are all gone, and the remnants of their crimes are gone. Why should the court worry?"

The scholar said frankly: "Nowadays, I have great ambitions, but I am hesitant to act, and I have the benevolence of a woman. It is difficult to defend Luoyang! Difficult! Difficult!"

Lv Bu sneered: "Nowadays, Luoyang is full of praise for the decision to kill and attack. Luoyang's loss is even more nonsense. Luoyang has no natural dangers, and the Bingzhou Army and the Imperial City Army are more than enough to defend it."

The scholar commented: "The fact that Dong Zhuo was able to overthrow Dong Zhuo, who holds a heavy army, is only due to the bravery of the Bingzhou army and the unpreparedness of attacking him.

Lu Bu has a dark face.

Liu Xie didn't look happy or angry, and didn't refute, just bowed his head and took a sip of the beer wine.

The scholar observed Liu Xie's face, and chatted freely while drinking: "Yuan and Yang are only under house arrest in Beijing. If they are allowed to escape from birth, wouldn't it be raising tigers? Cutting people's money is like killing their parents. Forgive me." Their lives, these people are not only ungrateful, but will hate the imperial court to the bone. Isn’t this style of killing grass but not rooting out the benevolence of women?”

Liu Xie frowned: "If we cut the weeds and root them out, blood will flow like rivers. Wouldn't the princes and aristocratic families feel ashamed?"

It seemed to be a little hot, so the scholar opened his collar, revealing his firm chest muscles.

He continued: "In the name of Dong Zhuoyu's party, the emperor confiscated the lands of the strong and strong in the three counties around the Yuan family in Runan and the Yang family in Hongnong and Luoyang, and in the name of the rebellion in Jingzhou, he ordered Lord Xun to suppress the local powerful. Aiming at the powerful princes of the world, it is obvious that they do not want to startle the snakes."

Liu Xie was moved. He thought he could delay for a year or two to gain time for his own development, but in the eyes of the counselors, these tricks were like paper: "Mr.

"The defeat of Wang Mang's New Deal in the past is still before our eyes. The princely families have never lacked clever staff, and they will never sit still and wait for death."

Lu Bu said in a deep voice, "Why are you afraid? Come one to kill one, come one to kill the other."

The scholar was aggressive: "One or two is nothing to be afraid of, but what if the princes join forces? I'm afraid it won't be long before someone will use the name of the Qing emperor to contact the princes of the world and approach Luoyang."

Liu Xie bowed down. If he hadn't killed Dong Zhuo in advance, Cao Cao would unite the eighteen princes into the palace in Luoyang next year, force Dong Zhuo to burn Baili of Luoyang, and force the court to move the capital to Chang'an.

At this time of change, this kind of alliance of princes may really happen again.Throughout the ages, reformers and those who have been resisted and failed abound.For the lighter, the pioneer minister who advocated reform died for the country like Shang Yang.Worst of all, even the emperor would not die well, and he would be chopped into pieces like Wang Mang.

"It won't come so fast, how can the princes of the world be united?" What's more, he has been keeping a low profile before, and destroying the family is also a gradual process.Liu Xie said firmly: "What's more, the imperial court is already recruiting soldiers. In less than a month, Luoyang has already recruited more than [-] soldiers."

"How can recruits be opponents of well-trained soldiers?"

Lu Bu snorted, obviously full of confidence, and still didn't pay attention to the princes of the world.

The scholar shook his head and said, "After the extermination of Dong, he acted in a hurry. Luoyang is in danger."

"The world is torn apart, and all the people are suffering. At the beginning, I only thought about taking back the power and distributing the land to the refugees. The people lightly paid and paid less, and recuperated, but unexpectedly planted a huge disaster." Liu Xie said in a deep voice, got up and walked. Dali: "Mr. Zhicai is a great talent, please teach me how to tide over the crisis."

Xi Zhicai hurriedly got up to return the salute, but there was no surprise on his face: "I dare not do it, I have concealed a lot just now, please forgive me, Your Majesty and General Lu."

Lu Bu was dumbfounded: "You...how did you recognize us?"

Xi Zhicai but smiled and said nothing.

Xi Zhicai has an outgoing personality, with a bit of evil spirit.On the way back, Lu Bu was a little dissatisfied: "This person really has a bad temper that looks down on the world and underestimates people."

Liu Xie pursed his lips and smiled, thinking that you would not lose to him in your arrogance.

"Every great talent has a bit of a temper. He offered to separate Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui from the opposite sex brothers, and even took the initiative to go to Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan to buy time for us. It is our great fortune that he is willing to make a move. .”

"The current situation is complicated, and this person can succeed with one shot?" Lu Bu obviously didn't believe it, and said lazily: "Oh, I almost forgot, Your Highness has unpredictable abilities."

Liu Xie felt the ridicule...

"This man is really sensational. Even if Ma Teng from Xiliang and Yuan Shao from Jizhou come together, they will never return."

Liu Xie smiled and said: "Anyway, you are the number one fighter in the big man, so I believe you."

Lu Bu curled his lips mockingly.

Liu Xie explained helplessly: "As a king, he likes to be considerate in everything. It is better not to go to war unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Xi Zhicai said just now that if you don't slaughter the Yuan and Yang clans, you are showing them to be weak and deceitful. Since you have already frightened the snakes, it is better to show them to be stunned by thunder. What do you think of this statement?"

"Exactly." Lu Bu remembered the anxiety before killing Dong.What Xi Zhicai said is correct in some places, for example, sometimes the world is too forward-looking and backward-looking.

Liu Xie sighed: "Do you not spare even the old and the weak, women and children?"

Lu Bu said indifferently: "In our Bingzhou, the old and the weak, women and children can mount horses and kill the enemy."

So, it's time to cut the weeds and get rid of the roots.

"Yuan Shu's head can be removed after returning to Beijing, as for the others." Liu Xie still hesitated: "We will discuss it with Xun You and Chen Gong after we go back."

Lu Bu suddenly said: "He just exaggerated, part of what he said was just to attract your attention."

Liu Xie was taken aback: "Huh?" He thought he was pondering for a long time, trying to persuade him that there is no need to worry about killing people.

Lu Bu comforted awkwardly: "The impatient part after killing Dong."

Liu Xie smiled: "I know what I did was wrong at the time, but there is no better way. Don't worry, I won't be sad." He is young and has no relatives or powerful eunuchs to rely on. Three lords and nine ministers, grasped the right to speak in the court in time, and distributed the land to the people and soldiers, and found the hearts of the people. I am afraid that Luoyang City will soon rise to a second and third Dong Zhuo.

At least after this operation, he already has the absolute right to speak in the court.After perfecting the military registration system, all the relevant materials of every sergeant in Luoyang City were recorded and archived. These soldiers, especially those from Luoyang City and surrounding counties, would not dare to rebel easily.The newly recruited soldiers were originally hungry people who could not survive, and Liu Xie provided them with a way to survive.

And as long as they are given the hope of entrusting the fields and repeatedly instilling the way of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism in the process of closed military training in the future, these people will become the most solid force supporting the emperor.

"By the way, you have one of the gold medals given to Xi Zhicai just now." Liu Xie pulled himself together and took out a delicate gold medal the size of a palm from his pocket.

On the back of the gold medal is recorded the name, place of origin, official position and residence in Luoyang, and on the front is the word "Xie".

Lu Bu took it, looked it over and over again, and pointed to the wooden plaque on his waist: "Why do you want to change it?"

"Isn't there more money to build a gold medal after Dong Zhuo is gone?" Liu Xie said with a smile: "In the future, with this gold medal, you can enter and exit Weiyang Palace unimpeded."

Lu Bu took it, but did not take off the wooden plaque, and smiled loudly: "This wooden plaque was carved by His Highness, right?"

"how do you know?"

"Without him, the carving marks are young."

Liu Xie complained: "Alas... At that time, I wanted to carve many in a row, but the difficulty of carving was much more than I imagined, and my hands hurt."

"Oh, don't tell me the wooden sign between me and Cao Cao is unique?"

Liu Xie touched his nose in embarrassment: "It is true."

"What happened to Cao Cao?" Lu Bu asked casually.

Liu Xie didn't let it go, and said the monitoring results of the civilian order: "Fleeing back to Chenliu, the prefect of Chenliu is his good friend. Cao Cao's father has assets in Chenliu, and he has the support of a wealthy local family. Recruiting troops and buying horses."

Lu Bu frowned: "What does he want to do?"

"In the name of killing Dong Zhuo, break out of your own world in the troubled times."

"Dong Zhuo is dead."

Liu Xie nodded: "That's why I said it was in the name of killing Dong Zhuo."

Is that a rebellion?

Lu Bu said calmly, "Your Majesty really knows everything."

Liu Xie smiled slyly: "I said earlier that being with the general is a predestined fate in a previous life."

Lu Bu couldn't deny it.
