Han Dao world

In addition, Liu Xie announced an imperial edict.

When the war in Jizhou is over, the emperor will patrol Youzhou and make Youyan Du protect Xunyou to supervise Youzhou governor Yang Hong, Xuzhou governor Liu Bei, and Beihai prefect temporarily lead Qingzhou governor Sun Ce to conquer Liaodong.

The emperor issued a special edict to make the new soldiers of Jizhou go out with the army and serve in front of the battle.

After hearing the news, Zhang He and Gao Lan let out a sigh of relief.

Chapter 940 Seeing Xian Siqi

After the edict was issued, Yuan Xi and others were arranged to wait for the punishment in the prepared camp.

Events like celebration banquets have nothing to do with them.

Yuan Xi sat in the tent, took off his sweat-soaked clothes, and sat on the mat blankly, motionless.

Queen Guo didn't care about herself, she arranged for someone to take care of Mrs. Liu, fetched water, scrubbed Yuan Xi, and put on clean clothes.

Yuan Xi stretched out his hand and pushed it away. "It's too hot, let me rest for a while."

"Husband, it is inevitable to be frustrated in life. The more you are at this moment, the more you can't give up on yourself." Queen Guo said softly: "Since the emperor's grace, life and death are no longer a serious problem, and this moment is the bottom. If you work hard, you will have a life." Get better."

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, then withdrew his hand. "Who did you listen to, it seems to make sense."

"That's how I came here." Queen Guo put on clothes for Yuan Xi. "The concubine's family was broken back then, and she didn't enter the Hou Tong's house. If she thought that her life would be like this, and would despise herself just for a bite of food like everyone else, how would she have the opportunity to serve her husband?"

"What's the good of marrying me?" Yuan Xi smiled wryly, "It's not your luck, but your fate."

"No way. Not to mention the four generations and three fathers of the Yuan family, their legacy is profound. As long as my husband turned the tide, endured the humiliation, and saved tens of thousands of lives, he will have countless blessings. The emperor just issued an edict. Conquest, isn't this an opportunity?"

After Yuan Xi heard this, he nodded again and again, his heavy heart unconsciously relaxed a lot.

If he has the opportunity to conquer Liaodong with Xun You, not to mention whether Xun You will take care of him, it depends on those who are willing to go into exile with him.

"Papa, papa." A burst of applause came from outside the tent.

After hearing this, Yuan Xi got up quickly.When I checked out the account, I couldn't help being surprised and delighted.

Xun Chen stood outside the tent, applauding and looking at him with a smile.

"Congratulations to Xianyi, congratulations to Xianyi. With such a married couple, I will be able to achieve a great career in the future."

Queen Guo followed and bowed in salute.

Yuan Xi quickly introduced, and Queen Guo saluted again, then turned to prepare water for Xun Chen.

There was only water in the camp.

Yuan Xi asked Xun Chen to sit in the tent, and pulled his clothes in embarrassment. "Brother Youruo, when did you come?"

"It's only been two days." Xun Chen took his seat calmly and looked at Yuan Xi with relief. "I thought you would suffer a big setback, but I didn't expect you to be so calm. It's beyond my expectations."

Yuan Xi was embarrassed, but also relieved.

If it wasn't for Queen Guo's persuasion to cheer him up, he certainly wouldn't be able to get such praise from Xun Chen at this moment.

"Brother Youruo, are you here to reunite with your family this time?"

Xun Chen smacked his lips and avoided talking.

His purpose of coming here this time was to save lives, but his family members were already safe, and it was easier than he imagined.On the contrary, it is party affairs, which has become his biggest headache now.

It's just that you can't tell Yuan Xi about this matter, and it's useless to talk about it.

"Xianyi, is this the first time you have seen the emperor today?"

"Yes."

"How do you feel?"

Yuan Xi thought about it.In fact, he didn't see what the emperor looked like. From entering the camp to leaving the camp, he kept his head down and never had a chance to look at the emperor.Even if you want to see it, you may not be able to see it. The emperor sits on the general platform, and he kneels under the general platform, day by day.

"The majesty of the Han family is really extraordinary."

Xun Chen's mouth twitched and he shook his head. "The majesty of the Han family has long been discredited. If it weren't for the emperor, the surname sitting on the general platform at this moment might be Yuan or Cao, but it is unlikely that the surname is Liu. The emperor is helping the building to collapse with the appearance of a young man. And. I didn’t think so at first, but today, I believe it.”

Yuan Xi raised his head and looked at Xun Chen puzzled.

He knew that Xun Chen was a proud man.It is precisely because of this that Yuan Shao broke his promise and did not treat Han Fu kindly, so Xun Chen turned against Yuan Shao.Such a person suddenly praised the Son of Heaven greatly, and it would definitely not be because of his status as the Son of Heaven.

"You didn't see the emperor, but did you see the soldiers in the camp?"

Yuan Xi nodded.He did see those soldiers who were sweating under the scorching sun but still motionless.

"The Son of Heaven is on the general platform. Like these soldiers, he does not stand up an umbrella, does not hold a fan, and his armor is neat and immobile. I have been here for two days. Although I have not been able to see all the troops, I can be sure that The Imperial Guards are the elite of the elite. Even without the Northern Army, the Youyan Du Protectorate, and the Xuzhou Army and Jiangdong Army, the Son of Heaven can still take Yecheng with these troops."

Xun Chen let out a long breath. "Perhaps, I can expand the scope a little bit, and the Son of Heaven can run rampant in the world without being invincible."

Yuan Xi was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

Xun Chen's evaluation of the emperor is so high?

Xun Chen smiled. "You are young and weak, but with such physical strength and perseverance, why can't you accomplish anything? See the virtuous and think of the same. Xianyi, you are only a few years older than the emperor, and your experience is similar. He can do it, why can't you? The big man has him , the world is peaceful. With you, the Yuan family will surely be able to create a world overseas even if they cannot stand on their own in place of the Han Dynasty."

Yuan Xi suddenly realized.

He stared at Xun Chen for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Would you like to walk with me and give me advice at any time?"

Xun Chen's eyes flickered slightly. "Of course I am willing, but I still have one big thing to do. After this thing is done, I will go to you."

Yuan Xi raised his palm. "A deal?"

"It's a deal." Xun Chen raised his hand and gave Yuan Xi three high-fives.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

-

Liu Xie changed his clothes, went out of the tent again, and met Xun Yu.

Xun Yu bowed to the end. "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Liu Xie smiled faintly, and stretched out his hand to invite Xun Yu to take his seat. "The unexpected victory is nothing to worry about. The governor came to see you so soon, presumably it's not for congratulations?"

Xun Yu smiled. "Your Majesty is wise. I studied Yang Jicai's (Yang Jun) masterpiece these two days, and walked around the area. I benefited a lot. I came here to report to Your Majesty."

"This is a good thing, but there is no need to be so anxious." Liu Xie sat down and straightened his clothes. "You really have nothing else to do?"

"No."

"Since it's all right, don't be cautious. Have you met your family?"

"Not yet." Xun Yu smiled. "I've been around Daying for the past two days, seeing the mill and laundry, it's really an eye-opener..."

Liu Xie raised his hand and interrupted Xun Yu. "You just said it was fine."

"Uh……"

"We don't talk about business today. Drinking is inevitable at the banquet. It's useless to talk about business now, and I'll forget about it later." Liu Xie smiled and said, "Let's talk about unimportant private matters."

Xun Yu was a little helpless.

He said it was okay, just to be modest, but he didn't expect the emperor to take it seriously.

Of course, it might just be that the emperor didn't want to talk about business, and deliberately used this as an excuse.

"It's up to His Majesty."

"Ruying has many outstanding people, and your Xun family is even more talented. You and Gongda have already served the court, so there is no need to say more. Xun Youruo who I met two days ago, Xun Xiuruo who I haven't seen, and Chang Someone mentioned Xun Zhongyu in front of me, what are their plans?"

Xun Yu was startled slightly. "I... don't understand His Majesty's meaning."

Liu Xie smiled. "Is there anything I don't understand? In fact, it's just a sentence. Are they willing to serve the court? If they are willing, they can participate in the selection. If they don't, then forget it. The court does not force others to be difficult, and they can forget each other in the world."

Chapter 941 Divide and Conquer

Xun Yu's heart tightened.

The emperor seems to be talking about family matters, but in fact there is something in the truth.

His meaning is very clear, if the children of the Xun family are willing to serve the court, they will participate in the selection like everyone else.If you don't want to, then forget each other in the rivers and lakes.

"Forget each other in the rivers and lakes" is a saying in Zhuangzi, which means not knowing each other, not disturbing each other, and gaining real freedom.

Although Confucianism also has hermits, it is impossible for Confucianism to be like Taoism and forget about the imperial court.

To put it nicely, it means forgetting each other in the Jianghu, but to put it badly, isn't it the party prison?

Son of Heaven, what does this mean?

Do you hope that the Xun family's children will actively participate in the election, or do you hope that the Xun family will keep a certain distance from the court, so as not to become too powerful and break the balance in the court?

Xun Yu quickly weighed the pros and cons, bowed and said, "Your Majesty's will, I will convey to Ru Ying's younger brother later."

Liu Xie smiled.

Xun Yu is hiding a needle in the cotton.I said the children of the Xun family, and he directly expanded the scope to the children of Ruying.

But that's good too, save me another mouthful.

The judge had no choice but to surrender, which was a good thing for the vast majority of people.But for him, this is a big trouble.

The Jizhou people in the city are limited to the status of captives and have no hope of becoming an official for the time being, but what about the Ruying people?

There are too many of them, and once they enter the court, they will inevitably break the existing balance.

It was still under the condition that Yuzhou did not completely save the fields.

This must create a bad impression.It doesn't matter if you don't spend time in the field, and it doesn't affect your career as an official.Next, if you want to spend the fields in the Central Plains, I'm afraid it will be more difficult.

The solution Liu Xieji came up with was to reform the official selection system in advance.

It is recommended to be an exam instead.

Recommendation is only suitable for acquaintance politics, and it is very easy to form cliques-examinations cannot avoid cliques, at least not as legitimate as recommendation.

Not familiar with how to recommend?How to recommend if the relationship is not good?The opportunity to be recommended is so rare, how can the person who is recommended be loyal to the recommender without showing gratitude?

Why can Yuan Shi be so arrogant?Isn't it because of four generations and three fathers, too many disciples and old officials have accumulated.

The implementation of the examination is to take back the power of recommendation from the hands of officials and return it to the court.

It is not attributed to the emperor himself, but to the whole court that is composed of ministers and emperors.

This will affect the interests of all officials with the right to recommend, and it will inevitably cause a backlash. Therefore, even if he has the power to win, Liu Xie dare not act rashly.He said this to Xun Yu in the hope that Xun Yu could lead by example, set an example, and find out what the scholar-officials were saying.

Xun Yu's reaction was within his expectation.

Xun Yu is a gentleman, but he is first of all a representative of the scholar-bureaucrat class.The premise of high moral character is that he is a person with vested interests. Once his own interests are involved, he cannot remain indifferent.

If you consider that he is still a party member, then you can't have too much hope.

Partisans succeed one after another, not because they hope to dominate the official career and exclude other competitors.

It is also because of this that when they were murdered by Cao and Sima's father and son, they stopped talking about morality, and as long as they wanted to benefit, the clear discussion became a clear talk.

As a time traveler, Liu Xie has never been so naive, pinning all his hopes on the so-called morality.

No interest, empty talk about morality, are all hooligans.

Just as he was talking, Shi Sun Rui came.

Not only the school lieutenants, fake school lieutenants, and Sima were all present, but also a few Ruying people who had just won their freedom.

Among them are Simpi and Xunyan.

Shi Sun Rui did not appoint them as officials, but only said that Simpi had made meritorious service in persuading them to surrender, and they should be able to participate in the celebration banquet.Xun Yan came to see Xun Yu and Xun Chen. They hadn't seen each other for many years. After they escaped from the dead, they met each other. It's only human.

It would be perfect if the emperor was thirsty for talents and appointed them as officials.

Liu Xie understood Shi Sun Rui's meaning, but he didn't explain it.The attitude is very enthusiastic, but it is definitely not a matter of courtesy.

The monarchs and ministers sat down to chat, but there were too many people to sit in the tent, so Xun Yu dragged Xun Yan and Xin Pi out.

"Shisun Gong, have you told them about the plan to conquer Yizhou?"

Shi Sunrui glanced at the school lieutenants and fake school lieutenants under his command, and smiled slightly. "The minister said it, but they didn't want to believe it, so I had to ask His Majesty to say it again, so as not to worry them."

More than 20 pairs of eyes turned around, and Liu Xie was a little embarrassed to see the fiery eyes.

"Don't look at me like that." Liu Xie waved his hand. "The northern army has made great progress in new training, but it's a pity that they failed to fight this time. While Mr. Sun is still able to eat, I will take you to attack Yizhou and try your sword."

"Your Majesty is wise." Guan Yu stood up and said loudly: "I also think that Yecheng is not enough to test the sword, and Yizhou is reluctant to take it. Not only can we advance by land and water, but after entering the hinterland of Yizhou, the cavalry can also show their talents."

"You all think so?"
