Chapter 168: You Still Believe in This Waste?
Yuzhou was shaken.
The Shenwu Imperial Court is going to make a move on Yuzhou!
Hundreds of thousands of troops have surrounded Yuzhou, leaving the sea to the east where there is no Liu army's troops, and all the rest of the borders have Liu army's men and horses. In Jiangdong, Cao Cao tried his best to block the news, fearing that there would be instability in Yuzhou. The people believed in Cao Cao. The ministers in Shouchun City have always been not so at ease with Cao Cao.
Liu Xie, the son of Jian'an, immediately summoned the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of Shouchun to a meeting to discuss, and now it is a matter of life and death.
In the Shouchun Imperial Palace, all the civil and military courtiers in the Jian'an court except Cao Cao have gathered. Cao Cao was busy arranging to deal with the arrival of Liu Jun, and they were not as fast as the ministers in Shouchun City who were waiting for death.
The people are almost there, Liu Xie said directly: "Ladies and gentlemen, hundreds of thousands of thieves have surrounded Yuzhou, how to deal with it, please express your opinions." ”
It's all up to this, what do you say to these ministers, who are usually sycophants and don't actually have much ability?
These ministers are a little incompetent, but at least they still have the most eyesight. The Jian'an Imperial Court is over, and hundreds of thousands of troops surround Yuzhou, not tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. They all thought in their hearts that with Cao Cao's ability, it was okay to resist more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. Now in this situation, how could Cao Cao resist. Their ability is not as good as Cao Cao's, otherwise they would not succumb to Cao Cao's obscenity. Now let them come up with a way, isn't it difficult for strong people?
Seeing the silent minister, Liu Xie's heart was cold.
"Usually don't you all claim to be brilliant and have a lot of strategies in your heart, why are you all dumb at this moment of crisis?" Liu Xie's dissatisfaction in his words has been clearly expressed.
followed Liu Xie, who were all representatives of the old family in Luoyang. To say that they have no talent at all would be to belittle them. It's just that at the moment, it seems that there is really no way for them to think of it.
"Your Majesty, the minister thought it would be better to wait for the prime minister to come." A minister spoke.
Liu Cheng took a look at it, and it turned out to be someone who usually didn't deal with Cao Cao very well, Dazai Ling Wen Cun.
"Aiqing usually doesn't have a lot of opinions about the prime minister, why does she have to wait for the prime minister to come over today to be able to discuss?" Liu Xie said dissatisfied.
Wen Cun was speechless all of a sudden, he was very dissatisfied with Cao Cao, that was because Cao Cao controlled the entire Shouchun, and old bureaucrats like him, who came here from Luoyang, had no power and no oil and water at all. Dazai's order is 600 koku a year, where is it enough for warmth, and it's not enough to support domestic slaves. I used to have a good life comfortably, but now I have to live a tight life, and it is strange that Wen Cun can have a good impression of Cao Cao. But these days, the six hundred stone of Yulu has not been given enough, and now I don't know what to do.
Liu Xie gave up on Wen Cun, so he began to name and asked, "Da Changqiu, what do you think?" ”
Da Changqiu Zhou Zheng, that is the person of the Zhou family in Luoyang, and Zhou Yu, the talented man in Jiangdong, is a family. Liu Xie felt that he should have some way, after all, he had always heard him say a lot of unfathomable words before, and now there must be a way.
Zhou Zheng has some ideas, but his thoughts are all seen from books, and he doesn't know whether they have actual value or not.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it should be offensive and defensive!" Zhou Zheng said solemnly: "Soldiers, treacherous. Liu Yu's army of thieves pressed the border. We can't sit idly by, we have to take the initiative. Liu Yu must not have thought that we would take the initiative to attack, and Wang Shi would definitely be defeated. ”
Liu Yu nodded, it seemed that Zhou Zheng still had some brains, said some useful words, and then asked: "Then who is the main general, how many troops are leading, and where to start the attack?" ”
After years of study, Liu Xie is no longer the kind of person who doesn't know a little bit of military strategy, and it is impossible to get mixed up.
Where did Zhou Zheng think about such a detailed thing, if he really had this ability, where would he stay in Shouchun, he would have defected to Liu Yu or Cao Cao a long time ago, in exchange for more glory and wealth, it would be better than talking here.
"This? The minister is to make suggestions, and for specific implementation, His Majesty can let the prime minister arrange it. Zhou Zheng came to a Tai Chi style and kicked the ball to Cao Cao.
Liu Xie heard it, what this guy said was useless nonsense, it was nonsense at all, and he really thought he was talented.
"It's going to be arranged by the prime minister again, so why did you say so much? What else do I want you to do? Liu Xie slapped the table on the spot.
Zhou Zheng immediately knelt down for Liu Xie, he really had no way to round out his words.
Liu Xie looked at the other courtier, it was Taichang Wei Huang, and asked, "Wei Aiqing, I see that your face is calm, there must be a good way." ”
Wei Huang felt a little unlucky, where did he have any calmness, it was completely his usual habit. Now that Liu Xie asked, Wei Huang couldn't help but respond to Liu Xie.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should defend first and then attack." Wei Huang said very calmly.
Liu Xie continued to ask: "Then where to guard first?" Is it north or south? Or is it the west? Where is the attack? Lujiang? Runan? Is it Yanzhou? Is it Xuzhou? ”
Liu Xie's constant questioning made Wei Huang sweat profusely, and he kept thinking about it, but he couldn't give a good solution.
"Rubbish! It's just empty talk! Liu Xie scolded directly.
Wei Huang was sweating profusely, and knelt directly in front of Liu Xie, not daring to move.
As soon as such words were spoken, the courtiers of the Manchu court became even more silent. None of them dared to speak out.
"Aren't you usually scheming? None of them said how loyal they were to me, and they could abandon everything to me. What are you saying one by one now? There's a fart. Why do I still use you? Why are you still being raised? Liu Xieqi almost flipped the table.
Guangluxun Zhao Qian hurriedly came out and admonished: "Your Majesty is angry. so as not to hurt the dragon's body. ”
Liu Xie saw that it was Zhao Qian, his face became much softer, and his anger disappeared a lot, because this Zhao Qian followed him wholeheartedly when he was in Luoyang, and he came up with a lot of strategies for himself and helped himself, Liu Xie wanted to give Zhao Qian a little face. Otherwise, at Zhao Qian's age, it would be strange that he had been in Guangluxun's position for so long and had not been dismissed.
Liu Xie calmed down, put his hope on Zhao Qian, an old minister, and said: "Guangluxun Zhao Qian, you are a super chief minister, and I have always believed in your words. Tell me what you think. ”
Zhao Qian is an old man with gray hair, he came out to advise Liu Xie just now, and that is because this is his style all along. Your Majesty is angry, and those who are courtiers will immediately come out to admonish, which will give Your Majesty a good impression. Your Majesty is not happy, and as a courtier, you should come out to make Your Majesty happy. Relying on this little skill, Zhao Qian was able to get the position of Guangluxun in the Jian'an Imperial Court, which is simply Liu Xie's sorrow. But this time, he was in a quandary. He just did it according to the old routine, and he didn't have any ideas or opinions at all.
Now that he has come out, Liu Xie's anger has disappeared, but he has found himself, if he can't say anything, this old face will be finished.
Zhao Qian had no choice, but he had his own routine, I saw him trembling, and said nervously: "Your Majesty, the old minister is old and frail, and he has been weak and short of breath these days, and he has no way to serve the imperial court." I also ask Your Majesty to allow the old ministers to return to their hometowns. ”
This old man is very smart, in the current situation, the Jian'an court is doomed, it is good to follow Liu Xie to enjoy the glory and wealth, if Liu Xie's ship is going to sink, then he will be embarrassed.
Liu Xie was dumbfounded, there would be such a thing happening above the court meeting. An old minister who usually behaves the most loyal, is actually about to return to his hometown at a critical moment. This made Liu Xie very embarrassed.
The ministers are all despised in their hearts, this Zhao Qian, he is old, but he usually does not accept the old, and he has always relied on Guangluxun's position to prevent the rise of those who are behind, and it is typical to occupy the pit and not. If it weren't for the Zhao family's great power, many people would have to impeach him. And many adults present know that last night, Lord Zhao Qian opened a bud for a little woman who had just turned fifteen in Yihong Courtyard in Shouchun City, which was really immortal. Now Zhao Qian said that his body is not good, and everyone knows what he thinks.
But the big guys didn't say anything. Zhao Qian was a little embarrassed, but he pointed out a clear way to the ministers present. If Liu Xie can't be the emperor, then these courtiers have no value. At this time, it is better to get old early, and maybe you can keep a back road.
"You!" Liu Xie was so angry that he was about to explode, and he retreated at the critical moment, Zhao Qian, what should you do with Liu Xie.
The other ministers all had such thoughts, and they pondered that they would return to their hometowns with Liu Xie later.
Guozhang Dong Cheng saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, but he had nothing to do, for the sake of today's plan, Dong Cheng could only stand up and say: "Your Majesty, the military affairs are all handled by the prime minister." Although the ministers have ideas, if they don't have the cooperation of the prime minister, they can't achieve anything. Please wait a while, the prime minister is expected to arrive soon. ”
"What does the national lord have to find Lonely?" Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived.
Cao Cao walked out of the main entrance of the main hall with a domineering spirit.
Cao Cao's visit to the temple was unknown, and no one knew when Cao Cao came. And Cao Cao had already arrived, just to hear what good plans these ministers had. This was just Cao Cao's curiosity, and he also understood that these ministers who could only talk could not say anything good. The result is really as Cao Cao thought, all of them are waste. And Zhao Qian proposed to return to his hometown, but Cao Cao felt surprised. Once this happens, it will not be good for the stability of the imperial court. That's why Cao Cao appeared in time.
"Prime Minister, you're here." Liu Xie suddenly felt that Cao Cao's face was not so annoying.
"See Prime Minister." The ministers in the hall all saluted Cao Cao.
Cao Cao didn't care about these ministers, he had always been like this, and said directly to Liu Xie: "I heard that Your Majesty called on the ministers to discuss major matters, and I can't arrive in time because of my military affairs, so I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness." ”
"Prime ministers don't have to be like this. The prime minister works hard for the country, I know it in my heart. Where is the prime minister late, you came just right. Liu Xie reluctantly smiled.
Cao Cao stood in his place, and then said leisurely: "When Gu just entered the hall, I heard that Lord Zhao Qian Zhao told His Majesty to return to his hometown, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”
Zhao Qian's body trembled, and he had an ominous premonition.
Liu Xie didn't hesitate and said, "Indeed." Zhao Aiqing said that she was old and frail, and she told me to return to her hometown. I still have approval, I don't know what the prime minister thinks? ”
Cao Cao smiled and looked at Zhao Qian. Zhao Qian was frightened by Cao Cao's smile.
Cao Cao said to Zhao Qian slowly: "Lord Zhao, I don't know if the concubine in the twentieth room of the adult's house is still well?" ”
"I don't know what the prime minister said?" Zhao Qian pretended to be stupid and said.
Cao Cao said loudly: "I heard that Lord Zhao showed his strength in Yihong Courtyard last night. Give a fifteen-year-old girl to **. Last night, I couldn't get enough of it, and I accepted it as your twentieth concubine. At this point, Lone really admires Lord Zhao. Lone is much younger than Lord Zhao, but there is no way to take care of so many women, Lord Zhao is really the first strange man in my Han. Lord Zhao is really old and strong. ”
Zhao Qian was a little anxious, Cao Cao had moved out his old bottom.
Liu Xie's face became very dark, Zhao Qian was deceiving him. It is really hateful to have the physical strength to accept concubines, but they are unable to serve the court.
"Zhao Qian, what do you say?!" Liu Xie's eyes widened, as if he was about to kill.
Zhao Qian hurriedly said: "The minister just said the wrong thing just now, and he didn't mean to return to his hometown at all, and asked His Majesty to punish him." ”
Liu Xie's face looked much better. It's just that because of Zhao Qian's previous achievements, Liu Xie is not good at doing anything to Zhao Qian.
Cao Cao didn't speak, and the others didn't dare to speak, so as not to be remembered by Cao Cao, and the atmosphere became very dull.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't you think you still have a lot of government affairs to deal with?" Cao Cao finally spoke.
Liu Xie understood that Cao Cao had something to say to him alone, so he ordered: "The prime minister stays, and the rest of the people disperse." ”
When the ministers heard this, they were like a rain in a long drought, and they were all gone at once.
Liu Xie was already disappointed in these ministers, and he was not a person to rely on at all.
Cao Cao sneered and said, "Your Majesty has seen it clearly now, these people are not something you can rely on at all." If you continue to fantasize that these people can help you, then Lone has nothing good to say. I guess at this time, you won't still believe in these wastes, right? ”
