The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 21 Have I become a follower of Dong Zhuo?
Shisun Rui's mouth opened slightly uncontrollably.

what's the situation?
what's going on?
Is the emperor going crazy???

What does Tianzi mean!!!
What Liu Xie said just now was clearly proof of his discord with Dong Zhuo!
No, it was more than a disagreement. It was a breakup!
Not only Shisun Rui, but also Wang Yun, Huang Wan and others were all stunned at this moment, not knowing what was going on.

Only after a brief moment of stunnedness did Jia Xu immediately smile knowingly.

"The emperor is really smart!"

His officer Sun Rui forcibly bound Dong Zhuo's face and the laws of the court together, forming an indestructible shield.

But Liu Xie's "fuss" actually tore the shield into two pieces.

What does the dignity of the Grand Tutor have to do with the laws of the court?
Isn't "opposing Dong" the political correctness of you scholars? If so, what does it have to do with the court?
Not only that, Liu Xie also directly labeled Shisun Rui as a "Dong Zhuo's follower".

This is both true and false.

Because ministers who truly refused to submit to Dong Zhuo, such as Lu Zhi, had already returned home and retired.

For example, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had already fled to various places in Guandong.

What kind of people are the ministers who were willing to follow Dong Zhuo to move the capital from Luoyang to Chang'an? Perhaps only they themselves knew the true character of the ministers.

Although Shisun Rui had the intention to endure humiliation and fight against Dong Zhuo, in the eyes of the world, he was the second-ranked follower of Dong Zhuo in the world!

The first one is naturally Wang Yun...

Now, no matter how Shi Sunrui thought about it, he felt that it was wrong. In the past, he could debate with scholars and quote classics fluently, but now he couldn't utter a word to answer Liu Xie's question.

Should I tell the emperor now that I am not a follower of Dong Zhuo?

The scent of Shao's body still lingers in this Xuanshi room.

If Shisun Rui was really a brave warrior who dared to face Dong Zhuo's butcher knife, why would he wait until now?
But if we follow the emperor's words...

No, it is impossible to follow the emperor's words!

After a long period of hesitation, Shisun Rui finally broke out in a cold sweat and looked at Liu Xie with disbelief.

Son of Heaven...has he fallen out with the thief Dong?

If this is true, then Jia Xu and Shang Shu Ling are not important anymore! None of them are important anymore!
Shisun Rui couldn't help but tremble. Even though he tried hard to control himself, he still couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.

The emperor and the thief Dong have a showdown!

In this case, wouldn’t Dong Zhuo have completely lost the support of the people?
If even the emperor doesn’t support Dong Zhuo, what else can Dong Zhuo rely on?
For a moment, Shisun Rui banged his head to the ground and said he didn't dare.

At this moment, Liu Xie was still extremely indignant.

"The government affairs of the court should be handled by the Shangshutai! By the ministers! Why do we need to inform the Grand Tutor?"

Liu Xie pointed at Jia Xu and said, "Please, Shangshu Ling, draft a decree immediately! No need to worry about what decree the Grand Tutor issued before!"

This time, no one dared to refute.

Jia Xu stood up calmly, walked to the center of the Xuanshi Hall with the steps of a victor, and returned the greeting to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, I obey your order!"

No one dared to stop Jia Xu or prevent him from issuing decrees.

Just as Shisun Rui used a conspiracy against Jia Xu, Liu Xie also used a conspiracy against the officials in the court.

If Jia Xu had insisted on pushing forward the decree before, it would have been a slap in the face of Dong Zhuo and undermining the laws of the court.

If Jia Xu did not promote the decree, it would be equivalent to handing over the power of the Shangshu Ling to Shisun Rui, giving the court the impression that the Shangshu Ling was weak and could be bullied.

But after Liu Xie's "trouble", the situation changed completely. If any court official opposed Jia Xu's decree, he would be labeled as a "Dong Zhuo's party member" and become the object of scorn by the scholars. In more serious cases, he could be called a traitor to the Han Dynasty.

No one dared to label someone a "Han traitor".

In particular, he was labeled a "Han traitor" by Liu Xie, the legitimate emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Being despised is still the least that can befall you. It is not impossible to be infamous for eternity.

Famous scholars and Confucian scholars value their reputation the most. No one dared to risk ruining their own reputation to stop Jia Xu from implementing policies that would benefit the country and the people.

Although Dong Zhuo was not present at the second court meeting that Liu Xie experienced, he won the victory again without any dispute because it was the emperor himself!

As Jia Xu's memorial was formally drafted into a decree and promulgated, all the ministers and officials hurriedly left the Xuanshi Hall with their own thoughts.

Only Jia Xu made a detour after leaving and went to meet Liu Xie again.

"Today's events were quite dangerous. Thanks to your Majesty's alertness, you were able to counter the moves and protect the documents."

Wear it a thousand times, but flattery never wears it.

Liu Xie smiled and said, "Even if I am not here, Wenhe himself will surely have a way to resolve the situation."

"But I have said before that Wenhe only needs to take care of government affairs and save the people. Don't worry about other monsters, because I will protect you."

Jia Xu didn't know whether Liu Xie's words were just polite remarks, but he still felt warm in his heart.

People who have lost their fathers actually lack a sense of security since childhood.

Although Liu Xie was still young, the emperor was still a father.

From Liu Xie, Jia Xu was able to inexplicably feel a sense of peace that he had not felt for a long time.

"But Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the Grand Tutor needs to explain it clearly to him, so as to avoid any misunderstandings about Your Majesty."

Return a peach with a plum.

Although Liu Xie and Jia Xu told him not to worry about other things, Jia Xu still subconsciously instructed Liu Xie, hoping that there would be no misunderstandings between Liu Xie and Dong Zhuo.

"Wenhe, don't worry. Although the Grand Master sometimes acts casually, he is still sensible."

Liu Xie did not avoid suspicion: "In this case, Wenhe will go with me to see the Grand Tutor. In order to let the Grand Tutor recover from his injuries in peace, I have come up with a lot of things in the past few days."

The palace where Dong Zhuo lived was actually located between the Xuanshi Palace and Liu Xie's bedroom, close to everywhere.

Liu Xie did not even ride in the jade carriage. He just strolled around the palace with Jia Xu and listened to Jia Xu's report on his inspection trips in the past few days.

"Your Majesty, although there has been occasional rain in Weinan recently, the rain has gradually stopped in most of Guanzhong, so we can start planting now."

"Besides, summer is coming soon, and it may be too late to plant millet and wheat, which are commonly grown by the people in Guanzhong."

In Guanzhong, millet and wheat have been the staple food since the pre-Qin period, and have been the staple food for the people in Guanzhong for thousands of years.

But because of the rain, the time for planting millet and wheat has long passed, and planting them now is no longer the best option.

"What does Wenhe mean?"

Liu Xie knew that Jia Xu would not speak casually. Since he mentioned this matter to him, he must have a plan in mind.

"Your Majesty, I propose that this year, all the fields in Guanzhong be planted with millet and beans to serve as food for the people. Only in this way can we barely get through the disaster year."
