"In this case, the slave and maid will return to the palace to resume their lives." Zuo Feng returned overjoyed, but couldn't help but ask: "I don't know what chance the king has to win?" ”

Jia Xu replied with a smile: "Even if we can't win a battle, we will definitely block the thief army under Hangu Pass." ”

"In this way, Your Majesty is enough to have peace of mind." Zuo Feng was finally relieved.

Sending away the Yellow Gate Ling Zuofeng, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, not against their hearts. Behind the smile, it is difficult to hide the sentimentality.

"Your Majesty will not allow the lord to interfere in the Kanto Rebellion." Chang Shi Gaixun let out a long sigh: "Selfishness is so heavy, and he actually regards the country and the society as nothing. His Majesty's move is truly distressing. ”

Jia Xu smiled wistfully: "The so-called 'family and country in the world'." His Majesty regards the world as his own selfishness. On weekdays, he sells official beards, and fills his own pockets in many lines. How can we sit back and watch the lord take advantage of the chaos to become famous, and how can we allow the 'Han side branch' to take advantage of the fire and replace it. ”

"Alas......" Fu Xie, who was engaged in Zhonglang, couldn't help but sigh.

Speaking of Your Majesty. His status as an imperial merchant must not be ignored.

and His Majesty's businessman thinking that "the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit", and "no profit can not be early".

Therefore, Your Majesty behaves in the world, and the first priority: to be profitable.

In principle, we should pursue the advantages and avoid the disadvantages.

Implementation in action: the policy of taking the lesser of two evils and the heavier of the two benefits.

Now Kanto, Kansai two places, at the same time sowing chaos. Kanto natural weights. Kansai, as Choi Yeol said, is only symbolic. Completely unprofitable. However, if you give up and even the world is in an uproar, it will be difficult for Your Majesty to block the mouths of the people. That's why wealthy businessmen do so much good. It is a principle to devote oneself to charity as soon as the future generations have money.

No matter how ugly the appearance is behind the scenes, you need to pretend to be kind in front of people. Although you know that you can't be burdened by fame, you also need to be afraid of people's words.

Your Majesty's thinking is not complicated.

First of all, how to pursue the advantages and avoid the disadvantages.

Let's see, which is more important. Two evils: Qianghu and yellow turbans. Two benefits: Kanto and Kansai.

Qianghu < yellow scarf. Kansai party members> families> anti-thieves > clans.

When the world is in turmoil: the clan > anti-thieves> family > party members > relatives.

When the world is in turmoil, the clan is a big trouble for His Majesty. Late Han Dynasty. How many giant thieves fake the banner of the clan, and how many Han clan relatives support the army and stand on their own. The first emperor's Xuanhan. The founding of Liu Penzi. Guangwu after the Han. are all the culprits who buried the former Han Guozuo. If the Yellow Turban Army imitates the green forest and red eyebrows and sets up a new emperor, it will be difficult for the Han Kingdom to survive.

Today, how to pursue the advantages and avoid the disadvantages?

When the knife is quick to cut through the chaos, send troops to fight the thief, take advantage of the collapse with thunder, set things right, and restore the world to peace as soon as possible.

Bring in His Majesty's "when the world is in turmoil".

The great trouble of the henchmen is the clan, and it can never be used. Therefore, Liu Bei, the king of thistle, is the strongest person in the clan, and His Majesty wants to separate him from the war as much as possible. Do not allow him to participate in quelling the unrest, and take the opportunity to buy people's hearts and strengthen their momentum. Nor shall it be lightly punished. If the persecution is too great, the king of thistle is angry and follows the thief, and the country is in danger. Therefore, inaction is Liu Bei's way to protect himself.

In this case, how to resolve the danger of the usurpation of the throne of the clan? It's extremely simple, just sweep away the thieves and bring in His Majesty's "peace in the world" equation. The threat of the clan is naturally minimized. At that time, there was a degree of inheritance and strict patriarchy. It is Liu Bei, the king of thistles, how dare he trespass. At this time, when looking back at the war, His Majesty's most relied on relatives fell out with the clan. It has become a great trouble for His Majesty in the era of peace.

Of course, this is His Majesty's most ideal design. However, the speed with which the situation collapsed far exceeded His Majesty's expectations. The two thieves in Kanto and Kansai seem to have the potential to attack Luoyang on both sides.

Seeing that the chaos cannot be cleaned up, how to pursue the advantages and avoid the disadvantages?

As the most good at begging thieves, Liu Bei, the king of thistles, His Majesty had to use it. Therefore, in terms of practical action, we have adopted the strategic policy of "choosing the lesser of two evils and the heavier of the two benefits."

Therefore, His Majesty decided to hand over the lightest weight of Guanxi to Liu Bei to pacify.

Even if King Ji pacifies Kansai, the shallow benefits obtained are not enough to compete with His Majesty for the world. After all, the land of Kansai has become a chicken rib. It's tasteless to eat, and it's not a pity to throw it away.

Nowadays, Kansai cannot be compared with Kanto in terms of economy, culture, and politics. Even the Liangzhou people were born to be regarded as "inferior nationals". All Liangzhou household registration is not allowed to move inward. As far as Liu Bei knows, only Zhang Huan, one of the "Liangzhou Sanming", was allowed to move inward and was called "Hongnong Zhang Huan". Successfully separated from his hometown, his descendants were able to settle in Huayin County, Hongnong County. Others, such as Duan Cheng, even if they are ranked as the third duke, the Kwantung scholars are still regarded as alternatives. As a last resort, he could only attach himself to the eunuch Wang Fu, thinking that it was a plan to enter the body.

Even if the situation is so erosive. The rebellion in Kansai was handed over to Liu Bei, the king of thistle, to pacify, and His Majesty had no choice but to do it.

I want to participate in the Kanto rebellion and grab high returns. The Thistle King didn't even think about it.

Liu Bei is no longer the Zhuoxian Haoqiang who is still white in history. Now you are the king of thistle and well-known in the world. How can Your Majesty let him take advantage of the chaos and go further!

Therefore, "those who know change with the times, and those who know make things according to things." "If you are still waiting for Your Majesty's edict and want to raise the strength of the whole country to pacify the Yellow Turban in one fell swoop, wouldn't you carve a boat and ask for a sword?

The so-called antecedents and consequences. Where there is a cause, there must be a consequence, and the cause of the past becomes the effect of the future. If the antecedents are different, the consequences are also different. Since Liu Bei went to the thief, he sank into the sea and there was no news. The masterminds of the Ji Kingdom already know what is going on with Your Majesty. This led to the layout of Kansai.

Just as His Majesty dictated. In troubled times, defend the land of a country. Singing and dancing, the lights are bright. and kiss the princesses of fifty-five countries, and enjoy the blessings of all people. The thistle king is happy, and I sleep peacefully. The best of both worlds, why not?

For. It must be.

The king of thistles is neat and resolute, and he will do what he says.

Summer, great drought. The queen mother of the knighthood is Wuyangjun.

In late spring and early summer, the peaks are studied.

The princesses of fifty-five countries, taking fifty-six wedding cars, left Chang'an City and arrived at Heyang Port City. Heyang Port, originally Heyang Ferry, also known as Jing Kedu. The North Yi Shui, the Middle Yi Water, and the South Juma Water converge here, and the water and land are unimpeded. A few years ago, Fan Yang Changguan Ning had ordered someone to expand into a port city. Across the bank of the confluence of the three rivers, there are many buildings such as wharves, residences, warehouses, docks, and naval camps. On both sides of the strait, there are east and west water bars, and two gates of north and south are opened. The streets in the city are vertical and horizontal, and the main columns and heavy buildings are built in rows, accommodating more than 3,000 households and more than 50,000 people.

All the water and port cities are under the rule of Nangang. The first chief of Heyang was Gongsun Fang, one of the "Three Friends of Cui Yan". Another "Cui Yan Sanyou" of the Song Rank, now the South Guangyang Port Order. Historically, both of them died young and died in military rebellion. Now each has its own side of government. It is the cause and effect of change.

Fifty-six painted crane dragon boats, lanterns and lanterns, carved and painted copper. The ship was noisy and jubilant.

Sending off 56 princesses of the Western Regions and their dowors to board the painted cranes, the paddle wheel slowly turned, and left the port in turn, under the guidance of the water army of the Ji Kingdom, sailed to the south port.

The convoy of Jiguo greeted relatives and rushed to Nangang after hearing the news.
