Shen Xian listened to it for a long time, and finally knew why the uncle and nephew quarreled.

Xun Yu was speechless by Xun Yu's words, and the others did not dare to speak rashly, and finally Shen Xian personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, drink some water and dissipate your anger." ”

Xun Yu thanked Shen Xian and sat back to drink water with a cup, and glared at Xun Yu angrily while drinking, and he had to stare him down. However, I don't know why Xun Yu can't do it today, even if Cai Yan gives him a look, he still pinchs him below, and he has to fight with Xun Yu, and he is not convinced.

On the surface, Yuan Shao's matter of welcoming the Son of Heaven has nothing to do with Shen Xian in the short term, at most, it is to let Yuan Shao rush to occupy the territory of Sili, and there are some threats to the north of Yizhou, but in fact, the political significance behind this is far-reaching. In this era of war, the country was divided, the military power was divided, the emperor's control over the world gradually weakened, the symbolism of the throne was more than the actual power in the emperor's hands, everyone respected the saint on the dragon chair on the surface, but in fact? On the one-third of an acre of land in his own house, no one would listen to the emperor.

But even so, if the Han Dynasty is not dead, the emperor will be the master of the world for a day, even if it is nominally, if someone publicly says that they want to overthrow the emperor's rule, the princes who are ready to move in the world will definitely attack the first warrior who eats crabs in the name of "eradicating treachery and eliminating evil and reviving the Han Dynasty".

To put it bluntly, the princes all want to change the dynasty, but no one wants to bear the infamy of letting a dynasty fall.

Of course, from the perspective of future generations, Shen Xian is not infamy.

In this case, Yuan Shao held the weak Son of Heaven in his hands, which was equivalent to holding the lifeblood of the Han Dynasty, and he could act in the name of the emperor after controlling the Son of Heaven, restraining the hearts of the people, containing the princes from all walks of life, and expanding his power openly.

pulled the most gorgeous piece in the world and tied the royal family to his chariot, Yuan Shao's step was really exquisite.

Shen Xian had thought about doing this before, but at that time, she didn't have the ability to welcome the Son of Heaven, and making a rash move would attract firepower to her and put her in danger, so she gave up this idea for the time being. But after Shen Xian took the land of Yang and Jing Prefectures with a total of six counties to unify the south, she already had the conditions to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

But none of the strategists proposed this idea to Shen Xian. Forget about others, but it's impossible for Xun Yu not to say it, could it be that he didn't expect it?

If others don't mention Shen Xian, they don't want to, to be honest, she is really too lazy to get the Son of Heaven to Yizhou. Isn't it just about saying it, at least build a palace for the Son of Heaven that matches his identity, right? Do you want the Son of Heaven to live in the state pastoral mansion and let him live?

The palace is repaired, and the Son of Heaven lives in it, so he has to send someone to protect him, right? Otherwise, if the Son of Heaven had an accident in Yizhou, Shen Xian would be unable to escape the blame, and she could only commit suicide in order to show her loyalty.

Now that we have a place to live and are safe, we should consider political issues. The Son of Heaven can't just sit and be a mascot, he has to deal with political affairs, so does Shen Xian need to hand over the power and give up the territory he worked so hard to beat down and the military power he has accumulated?

Xun You has a saying that is very simple, "How can there be two masters in one place", this is the rhythm of fighting every minute!

But Xun Yu obviously didn't think so, he was taught to be loyal to the Han family since he was a child, and now that the Han family is declining, his idea is also to assist the emperor Zhongxing instead of pulling the emperor off the horse and replacing him. Most of the readers have the same idea as Xun Yu, they are sincere, enthusiastic and simple, and they dedicate their blood to the Han family that is shaking in the wind and rain, hoping to exchange for a clear world.

Unfortunately, these people are doomed to disappointment, and no matter how much the broken carriage is repaired, it will not escape the fate of being in pieces.

In fact, Xun Yu is a little different from ordinary scholars, that is, he was born in a family, and while he was loyal to the monarch, he also had to consider the fate of the family.

The most specific manifestation of the decline of the imperial power is that the power of the family has swelled to a terrible point, and they have compiled a dense network from top to bottom of the government and the opposition, so that the emperor is trapped in it and cannot get out, and he can't die, he can't live, he can only rely on their strength to swing left and right on the cliff, and survive.

When the emperor is in this position, the monarch is weak and the minister is strong, and he is really unlucky.

But Shen Xiancai doesn't care whether the emperor is miserable or not, as long as she can complete the goal of dominating the world, as long as the people under her rule live and work in peace and contentment, she will be happy. Loyal to the monarch and patriotic or something, Shen Xian said that she was a good boy who grew up under the red flag and had never received this kind of education.

"Xun Gongda." Xun Yu, who was barely calming down, took a deep breath: "Can you sue me, why are you so persistent in preventing me from speaking to the lord?" I wrote three letters to my lord about this, but he did not reply to me. At first, I thought it was because the lord didn't agree with my proposal, but then I thought about it, I used to help the lord deal with a lot of official documents, even those ridiculous mentions, the lord would still state his own views after refuting them, which was convincing, instead of denying other people's ideas without saying a word. ”

Looking at Xun Yu's unchanged face, Xun Yu closed his eyes: "Later, I thought about it, the reason why I never received any reply was because the lord didn't see those letters at all, and they were all detained by you." ”

Shen Xian was stunned, she really hadn't received Xun Yu's mention of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes", at first she thought that everyone didn't expect it, her thinking was too advanced, and now it seems that it was because she was suppressed by Xun Yu?

Why?

As soon as Xun Yu's voice fell, everyone looked at Xun Yu in surprise.

It's understandable to quarrel in front of Shen Xian because of different political opinions, after all, people think differently from person to person, some people think it's good to do this, and another person will feel bad. However, it is too much to detain the other party's letter.

Privately withholding important letters handed over to the lord is a big or small thing, to put it mildly, it is this subordinate who is jealous and excludes others, and his moral character is not good; To put it more broadly, it means that this subordinate has a heart of disobedience and vainly tries to replace him.

But Xun You is neither a person who has a small belly and chicken intestines to crowd out his colleagues, nor does he want to kill Shen Xian himself, there must be something hidden in this.

"Gongda." Shen Xian knew that she had to give Xun Yu an explanation for this matter, and after a moment of silence, she asked, "Do you have anything to say?" I really haven't seen Wen Ruo's letter about this, when did he send it? ”

Xun You didn't speak, but Cai Yan said in a low voice: "The first letter is when the lord is still in Lujiang, and the second and third letters are after the lord came to Jiangling. ”

Hearing Cai Yan's words, Xun Yu's eyes widened: "Zhao Ji, you also know?" ”

Cai Yan didn't hesitate, she nodded, and her tone was very calm: "Yes, all letters sent to the lord will be screened by me. ”

Cai Yan is also involved in this?

Seeing Xun Yu holding the cup without saying a word and his bones turned white, Shen Xian felt that he might be about to explode.

"Is it convenient to say?" Shen Xian asked lightly: "If it's convenient, just open your mouth, and if it's inconvenient, find a quiet time to find me." ”

Shen Xian's words naturally wouldn't be said to Xun You, and he refused to confide a word when he was scolded by Xun Yu, presumably Shen Xian couldn't ask anything, so it was better to start with Cai Yan from a different angle.

But Cai Yan showed a hesitant expression: "Lord, I will bear the responsibility of withholding Wen Ruo's letter privately, but ......"

Before Cai Yan's words fell, the general guarding the door suddenly walked in: "My lord, Mr. Cai and Mr. Lu ask to meet." ”

Cai Yong and Lu Zhi came at this time? Shen Xian suddenly remembered that the two of them seemed to want to say something to her on the night Cai Yan and Xun You got married, but Shen Xian was really drunk at the time, and there was a fire burning in her heart, and she just wanted to go back quickly, and she had no time to care about anything else.

But it's not too late to hear it now, Shen Xian thought for a while and said, "Let them come in." ”

As soon as Cai Yong and Lu Zhi entered the door, they said directly: "Lord, please hold back and tell you something." ”

"Did the teacher and the gentleman hear the news that Yuan Benchu welcomed the Son of Heaven?" Shen Xian smiled slightly: "Since that's the case......"

Before Shen Xian finished speaking, the others stood up very interestingly and said goodbye one after another, and in the end, only the grinning Gan Ning, the silent Cai Yan, the expressionless Xun You, the uncertain Xun Yu and the indifferent Guo Jia were left in the room.

Cai Yong frowned: "This matter is very important." ”

"These are people I can trust." Shen Xian said seriously: "Actually, I can also trust those who go out, but let them all stay, obviously you will be very dissatisfied, teacher." ”

Cai Yong was really dissatisfied, he wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lu Zhi: "That's it, anyway, sooner or later." ”

Cai Yong sighed: "Okay." ”

Shen Xian made a gesture of listening, and then heard Cai Yong say: "Shang Yu, in fact, your father is not Liu Junlang. ”

Shen Xian: "......"

Liu Yan was ntred? This was the first thought that popped into Shen Xian's mind, and she almost asked, but seeing Cai Yong's face so seriously, Shen Xian swallowed her words back.

Cai Yong shut up after saying this, and then Lu Zhi told a very cliché story.

The synopsis of the story is that when Emperor Ling was alive, Concubine He Guifei of the harem was autocratic, and in order to ensure her status, before she was pregnant, the children of other women, whether they were born or still pregnant, were all killed by her tricks. Because He Guifei had a good relationship with the eunuchs, with the eunuchs persuading Emperor Ling, Emperor Ling didn't care much about He Guifei's actions.

Later, Emperor Ling fell in love with Wang Meiren and spoiled her alone, which made He Guifei jealous. Soon, Wang Meiren became pregnant, because she was afraid of He Guifei, Wang Meiren wanted to kill the fetus, but she tried several times without success, and finally secretly gave birth to a baby without telling everyone.

In order to protect the baby from the persecution of He Guifei, Wang Meiren ruthlessly sent her out of the palace and fostered her by her sister's side, who was Liu Yan's wife at that time.

"When Empress Linghuai asked me to bring you to Mrs. Wang, you were just one day old," Cai Yong said, "so many years have passed, and you have grown up and look very much like your mother." ”

Shen Xian suddenly remembered that Ma Riyan had said that she looked very much like her father, at that time Shen Xian thought that father was Liu Yan, but now it seems that what Ma Riyan wanted to say was probably Wang Meiren, but he was afraid of revealing his stuffing, so he had to take the name of Emperor Ling.

It's a pity that Shen Xian didn't understand such a vague hint at all.

After listening, the others were speechless for a long time, while Shen Xian asked expressionlessly, "So the current saint is my younger brother?" He always knew I was his sister? ”

"Yes." Cai Yong sighed: "Your Majesty made you a marquis and gave you military power, just hoping that you can help him help the Han Dynasty, except for you, he can't trust anyone else." ”

Shen Xian suddenly smiled, and she subconsciously pressed her abdomen: "Teacher, there is something I haven't told you." ”

Cai Yong looked at Shen Xian's expression, and a bad premonition floated in his heart.

Shen Xian said slowly: "When I was in Lujiang, I caught some assassins who poisoned me, and after the master helped interrogate, I learned that they were from the Tiger Camp. ”

"If that is really my younger brother," Shen Xian's tone was very gentle, but it was chilling to hear: "What is the reason why he sent someone to kill me while sealing me a high-ranking official?" ”

Cai Yong wanted to say that it was impossible, but when his eyes met Shen Xian's eyes, he knew that Shen Xian was not lying, and he also understood that this was indeed something that the emperor would do - even if he didn't do it, there would be others to help him worry about it.

Cai Yong was still thinking about how to answer Shen Xian's words, and heard Shen Xian already say it herself: "Teacher, there is a sentence that you said wrong, Your Majesty doesn't believe me, he only believes in himself." ”

"But he really shouldn't have believed me." Shen Xian sneered: "A woman, since she was a child, disguised as a man, deceived the world, and when she grew up, she was even more arrogant, first killed her brother to inherit her father's throne, and then took the surrounding land step by step, and now dominates the south and points the world...... What do you think she wants to do? ”

Shen Xian raised her chin slightly, her eyes stared at Cai Yong with blazing eyes: "At this point, even if she is a woman, she has to guard against it, right?" ”

Cai Yong was silent when asked by Shen Xian, then Lu Zhi patted him on the shoulder, looked up and said to Shen Xian: "We all thought at first that Empress Linghuai was born as a prince, and when Empress Lingsi controlled the harem so that Emperor Lingdi had nothing, she also thought about welcoming you back to the palace, until later Uncle told me that you are a girl, but Liu Junlang pretended to be a man, and I knew Liu Junlang's ambition at that time." ”

Shen Xian stretched out a hand to stop Lu Zhi from saying, she closed her eyes: "I understand what Mr. wants to say." ”

The daughter has no value to Liu Yan, he needs to hold a prince in his hand and train him to become a talent, he must be more capable than Emperor Ling's two sons, and most importantly, he must be loyal to Liu Yan.
