[Comprehensive] One Hundred Ways to Rob the Protagonist
Chapter 68 Three Kingdoms 3
Liu Xie played with the Chuanguo Yuxi for a while, and the panic in his heart has subsided a lot these days.
His mood improved a little, and his body felt much better. When Fu Shou came to read the memorial to him, he could clearly feel the changes in him.
Looking at Fushou's obviously haggard face, Liu Xie remembered Fu Wan who died innocently, and couldn't help but hold Fushou tightly in his arms: "I am ashamed to be the emperor..." In the name of an emperor, there is nothing strength.If it wasn't for Shi Bao's escort and aunt's rescue, he might not even be able to save his life this time, let alone protect those few people who are loyal to him.
Fushou lay in his arms for a while, but got up and wiped away his tears, and solemnly bowed down: "Your Majesty, I have a few words of advice from you, I hope your Majesty will accept them."
Liu Xie sat upright.He knew that Fushou had read a lot of books since she was a child, and she was very knowledgeable. Seeing her being so serious, she should have something serious to say.
"In this disaster, Xu Rong and Wang Yun are the ones to blame. But your Majesty's haste is also an important reason for the military chaos." Fu Shou knelt on the ground, not looking at Liu Xie's expression, even if Liu Xie was angry , she also wants to express her own opinion.
"Your Majesty is talented and determined to forge ahead. It is the appearance of a wise king and the blessing of the country. However, don't you hear that haste makes waste? The national affairs are complicated and cannot be resolved in a moment. Your Majesty is now in the abyss. The light is obscured, and you should cultivate your own manpower secretly, instead of standing at the forefront and confronting those civil servants and generals in person."
"My concubine thinks that for an emperor, the most important thing to master is the way of checks and balances, not the lonely courage to charge forward."
"Civil servants, generals..." Fu Shou paused, "There are also eunuchs, and the three forces should all be pawns in the hands of His Majesty. Your Majesty should sit on the throne and watch them fight and fight. When they stop, just Just move the board, that's all."
She lowered her head and said, but she might as well be picked up by someone, but when she looked up, she saw Liu Xie's excited face: "I didn't know that Qing has the talent of ovary!"
A smart child also needs years of study to master a systematic professional knowledge.Liu Xie grew up in a deep palace. No one taught him how to be an emperor, nor guided him to read history books and think about the art of emperors. That little shallow instinct to deal with.
He knew what kind of environment he was in, and knew that he needed military power and manpower, but he didn't know how to gain military power and train manpower.
Fu Shou's words made him suddenly enlightened.The way of checks and balances, the art of the emperor, the three forces fighting each other, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight!This is the path he should take!
"What you said is true. I was too hasty before, which hurt Fugong!" Liu Xie shook Fushou's hand, "What Aiqing said today is deafening. If there is anything wrong with me in the future, I still hope Ai Qing directly advises."
The next day, Liu Xie called Duan Fu, the eunuch who had followed him since he was a child, and was now appointed as a constant servant of the Central Committee, and asked him to find some clever eunuchs in the palace for use.
Duan Fu was secretly happy.He stayed in the palace for a long time and witnessed the majesty of the ten permanent attendants with his own eyes. It was only later that He Jin and Yuan Shao killed the eunuchs and almost killed all the eunuchs in the palace. Fortunately, he followed Liu Xie, so he never died.
Now that His Majesty is in a difficult situation, and thinking of them eunuchs again, it is their chance to stand up.
Seeing Liu Xie's recovery, Chu Tianshu bid farewell to him and prepared to return to Yongning with Xie Kun.Liu Xie tried hard to persuade her to stay, and even stood up and grabbed Chu Tianshu's sleeve to prevent her from leaving: "If my aunt and uncle leave, who can I hand over this city of Luoyang to?"
Compared with Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun, Xu Rong and others, Xie Kun and his wife retreated and left several times, which has made Liu Xie much less vigilant towards them.
Chu Tianshu looked at the little emperor who seemed to be working hard to grow up: "I heard that His Majesty intends to reuse eunuchs?"
Liu Xie looked a little embarrassed, but still nodded.
"I don't want to interfere or comment on His Majesty's choice, but I just want to ask if His Majesty has thought it through clearly." Chu Tianshu felt that from Liu Xie's standpoint, making such a choice is actually not difficult to understand.
The emperor is lonely, and now Liu Xie is lonely and powerless.He is too young, and he doesn't have a father to teach him and prepare a reserve of talents for him, so there is no one in his hands now.
In the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, several emperors ascended the throne at a young age, and the queen mother came to the court to listen to the government, and the dictatorship of foreign relatives followed.After the emperor grew up, none of the relatives who were used to holding power could consciously hand over power, and this was the case for Dou Xian, Liang Ji and others.
Facing the power of this kind of foreign relatives, few people from the gentry stood up to fight against it and supported the emperor.The vast majority of the gentry chose to remain silent, and even attached to their relatives—for example, the famous historian Ban Gu was attached to Dou Xian.
Because the dictatorship of foreign relatives still requires all kinds of talents, and the gentry can still be officials through normal channels, and their interests have not been greatly violated, so there is no need for them to fight with foreign relatives.
At this time, only eunuchs stood up to fight against their relatives and help the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty regain power.And in fact, these eunuchs are also very powerful. They defeated the strong with the weak many times and brought down their relatives.Emperor Han He, Emperor Han Shun, and Emperor Han Huan all relied on eunuchs to regain power from their relatives.
Now that Liu Xie is helpless, he is also planning to follow the example of his predecessors, use eunuchs, and use their interests to drive them to fight against courtiers and help him regain power, which is also understandable.It is even said that it is still a very feasible way.After all, all the power of eunuchs comes from the emperor, as long as the emperor can deprive them of everything, it is much easier to deal with than courtiers.
As for how many bad things the eunuchs will do, embezzle and pervert the law, and harm the innocent during this process, that is not considered by the superiors at all.
"Auntie, I've already thought it through." Liu Xie was very calm.
Although Auntie and Xie Kun are brave and powerful, they are obviously not willing to be the swords in their hands.Even if they agree, Liu Xie is worried that one day they will have too much power and they will not be able to take it back.But eunuchs are different. They are their own vassals, and only by relying on themselves can they get glory and wealth.
Chu Tianshu felt that Liu Xie at this time really looked like an emperor.
"I only ask my aunt and uncle to keep Luoyang safe and protect me." At this time, Liu Xie had no other choice.
The next day, Liu Xie issued a decree, making Xie Kun a general and commanding Luoyang's troops.Under the general, there are eight school lieutenants, one of whom is Duan Fu, the most trusted eunuch around Liu Xie, three are descendants of the aristocratic family, and the remaining four are Xie Kun's subordinates.
Lord Yongning was conferred the title of Princess Yongning, and the fiefs included Yongning, Mianchi and other places.
The courtiers knew that it was because the couple had made great contributions to saving the family. Although there were some discussions, they didn't have much objection.After all, Xie Kun and Chu Tianshu are very low-key now, they don't express any opinions on the government, and they have no intention of holding the court hostage by relying on their military power. This is much more peaceful than Dong Zhuo and Wang Yun.
Under Liu Xie's instruction, the eunuchs began to charge forward and attacked the noble officials.
These gentry officials were not as clean as they glorified themselves in the history books. They also took bribes and were easily caught, impeached and attacked, and fell one after another.
The vacancies vacated by these officials were replaced by relatives and relatives of the eunuchs.
Liu Xie felt that his words in the court were becoming more and more important, and there would no longer be an embarrassing situation where a group of ministers below were arguing endlessly, while he sat on top and no one paid attention.
"It was only at this time that I realized what it was really like to be an emperor." Liu Xie said with emotion to Fushou.
Fu Shou was silent for a long time before reminding him: "Your Majesty still needs to be careful, after all, the matter of the ten permanent attendants has just passed."
Liu Xie smiled complacently: "I know it well."
"It's snowing." Chu Tianshu and Xie Kun sat on the porch, Wen Jiu watched the snowflakes fall.The servants knew the habits of the two of them, and quietly left after putting things away.
Xie Kun hugged Chu Tianshu with one arm, and pinched the wine glass with the other: "Liu Xie's movements are getting more and more."
Today I changed the head of the Habayashi army in the palace, and tomorrow I changed the captain of the Luoyang army. I thought that no one would notice my actions, and wanted to silently control the army through those eunuchs.
That is to say, the task of the immortal master has been completed, and he is too lazy to care about these people, so he doesn't care about the little emperor's little tricks.If someone like Xu Rong was replaced, it would definitely be another bloodbath of Luoyang City, the imperial palace.
"What about outside?" Chu Tianshu didn't care much about Liu Xie's actions, no matter how much he tried, he was just a little emperor with little strength.However, those princes who ruled on one side are worthy of attention.
"Cao Cao is at war with Yuan Shao. He placed a big order with us, bought a lot of ordnance, and wanted our craftsmen to build cement roads for his site. I asked him to send people to buy cement, and then Teach them how to use it."
"Sun Jian seems to have fallen out with Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao always draws big cakes for him, and every time he finishes his work, he doesn't honor it. Sun Jian is annoyed and plans to take his men back to Jiangnan."
"Liu Bei, you're still wandering, but it seems like you're going to have a place."
Because of the arrival of the two of them, the plot timeline has been messed up, but a hero is a hero after all, and sooner or later there will be a bright day.
"Those gentry officials have almost reached the limit of their patience." Shi Bao's Luoyang Ranger intelligence system is getting better and better. Xie Kun receives a lot of seemingly inconspicuous news every day, but in his embroidered clothes In Commander Wei's professional vision, he could see a lot of things that others couldn't see with just a little stitching together.
"Then we should go too." Chu Tianshu leaned on his shoulder and said lazily.
Xie Kun turned his head, kissed her suddenly, put the wine in his mouth into her mouth, looked at Chu Tianshu's expression, and burst out laughing.Even though Chu Tianshu pressed him on the ground and beat him fat, he still smiled and said, "Go, go home!"
In the evening, Duan Fu told Liu Xie cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you know that after General Shi Bao salvaged the jade seal, the first thing he went to was Princess Yongning?"
Liu Xie frowned: "What do you want to say?"
"Of course, only His Majesty can control the jade seal. Why did General Shi Bao go so far as to report to Princess Yongning before sending it to Her Majesty? If Princess Yongning wanted to keep it for himself, would he just keep it a secret? "Duan Fu whispered.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Liu Xie's face darkened, "Back when the rebel Xu Rong led his troops into the palace, if General Shi Bao hadn't fought with his life, I would have been in trouble long ago. General Shi Bao's loyalty is beyond doubt!"
However, within a few days, Liu Xie transferred Shi Bao from the palace, gave him the official position of a school lieutenant, and asked him to go to station troops outside the city.
The next day, Xie Kun resigned in court on the grounds that Chu Tianshu was pregnant and he wanted to accompany Chu Tianshu home to recuperate.He can't do the job of a general.
His mood improved a little, and his body felt much better. When Fu Shou came to read the memorial to him, he could clearly feel the changes in him.
Looking at Fushou's obviously haggard face, Liu Xie remembered Fu Wan who died innocently, and couldn't help but hold Fushou tightly in his arms: "I am ashamed to be the emperor..."
