Chapter 202: From Light to Darkness

In the Dragon Garden, a famous palace lady served the delicacies to the table of a group of ministers, and the new emperor would enjoy it.

Liu Neng walked around the banquet from time to time, even if he didn't know anyone, he could quickly get acquainted.

"Lord, this Your Majesty ......" Li Ru knelt down beside Chen Mo with wine, squinted at Liu Neng, and said softly: "It's not as simple as it says in the intelligence." ”

According to the previous understanding, this Liu Neng has no ink, eats and drinks when he has no money, and lingers among the Qinglou prostitutes when he has money, he is not a serious person, and there are many street gangsters in Luoyang who are idle all day long, if it were not for the strict laws of Luoyang, I don't know how many goods to break into.

"Sometimes not being educated doesn't mean not being capable." Chen Mo held the wine with a faint smile on his face, this Liu Neng is at least at least between human feelings, quite proficient, and Chen Mo can talk about a difference with anyone who can talk about it with his chest knowledge, Liu Neng is practiced in the world, but he can always find some plausible topics to talk about, and he will praise people, this is a university question, Liu Neng is obviously good at this, he didn't see more than half of the banquet, and he has already become familiar with the ministers.

It's a pity that the practice of human affection may make people eat well, but it is not necessarily successful, there is only one ancestor from ancient times to the present, and today's world is not the same as the end of Qin.

Chen Mo thought about how to take back the power from his hands little by little if he was Liu Neng, and let go of power, Chen Mo never thought that even if he was willing to retreat at this point today, the consequences of retreating may be full of disasters, not to mention, today's trend in Guanzhong is cast by himself, and he may not be willing to continue to use Chen Mo's strategy.

Because the Son of Heaven wants to regain power, on Chen Mo's side, he can only join forces with those big families, because Chen Mo's policy is aimed at this group of people, but it is small and medium-sized families, as well as poor families, wealthy businessmen, and generals.

Don't look at Yang Biao and Zhong Xuan's use for themselves now, that is, they can see the general trend clearly, and know that the current situation in Guanzhong is irreparable, unless they leave Guanzhong, they can only follow Chen Mo to protect the family, but if there is a real opportunity to bring down Chen Mo, these people will not be soft.

There are a lot of things to establish a new imperial court, the Son of Heaven is just one of them, and the courtiers' Yulu must also be sent at this time, of course, before that, you can't count, then you have to find Cao Cao to go, don't ask yourself, ask is no.

A Yanxi meal didn't end until the afternoon.

After returning to the government office, Xu Shu and Li Ru's faces were not very good, as for the reason...... Liu Neng was able to drink happily with every courtier during the banquet, but only Chen Mo was left behind, is this considered a disadvantage?

Even if everyone is a decent person and didn't say it, but this is still panicked, you know, Liu Neng is equivalent to Chen Mo's hand, and they are not stupid people, you can see that although Liu Neng is pretending to be crazy and stupid, he wants to play and seize power.

"It's not too early, let's go back separately." Chen Mo can see it, the courtesy of the monarch and the minister should still be respected at this time, the emperor he has come up, his face must be maintained, otherwise he will be slapped in the face.

"Whoa!" Xun You and the four of them bowed and said.

Xu Shu and Yang Xiu left separately, but Li Ru and Xun You were on the same road, and the two didn't get in the car, but just walked forward in the city, Li Ru looked at Xun You and said with a smile: "Gongda doesn't seem to be worried at all?" ”

"Right now, the Son of Heaven is still a little immature." Xun You naturally knew what Li Ru meant, this was dissatisfied with his lack of expression, and said with a smile as he walked.

"Before the throne is secured, it is quite unwise to show hostility." Li Ru nodded, looked at Xun You, but understood, firstly, Xun You saw the gap between the Son of Heaven and the lord, and secondly, with the family background of the Xun family, it was actually the object of the Son of Heaven, as long as it was not too excessive, Xun You would not easily express his position.

Cunning.

Li Ru and Xun You said goodbye, Chen Mo's five major strategists, in fact, there are factions, Li Ru and Xu Shu are loyal to silence, and Xun You is loyal to Chen Mo like most families, but if Chen Mo shows fatigue or loses power one day, Xun You and these people are actually unreliable, but as long as Chen Mo can continue to be strong, they will not betray easily, as for Jia Xu...... Let's count it as neutral.

On the other side, after Chen Mo asked Xun You and the others to go back, he did not go back to the house immediately, but went straight to Luoyang Prison.

"Mr. Wenhe, you said that you were also a close minister of the Marquis of Changling before, but now you have been directly put in prison just because you have not managed the government for a few days, and you don't want the Marquis of Changling to claim benevolence and righteousness, but you are so harsh on your subordinates, which is really chilling." In the secluded and cold prison, a jailer helped Jia Xu put the wine bowl on the table, and said with a smile: "Look, until now, I can only serve you when I come down, if you go out in the future, don't forget the benefits of being in the next place." ”

"Naturally, I will remember." Jia Xu sniffed the aroma of wine and said with a smile: "But it's better to say less about the lord's rights and wrongs, otherwise it won't be good if it reaches the lord's ears." ”

"What kind of person is the Marquis of Changling, this prison place, there are no nobles all year round, how could he come here?" The jailer smiled absently.

"There are a lot of things in this world that you can't think of." An abrupt voice came from behind itself.

The jailer didn't notice it at first, but then he was kicked by someone, and when he turned his head to look, he saw the cell leader glaring at him viciously: "Boss? Why are you here? ”

"In front of the lord, Hugh is talking nonsense!" The cell boss glared at him fiercely.

"Lord...... Lord!? The jailer was startled and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The lord spares his life, and he ...... humble."

"Let's go down." Chen Mo waved his hand, he still couldn't compare himself with a jailer, looked at the cell head and said, "You also go down ......"

Suddenly, Chen Mo's eyes froze, he looked at the jailer who wanted to leave before, squinted his eyes and said, "I came to visit Wenhe today, if it leaks out, I will ask for you." ”

"Whoa!" The cell boss understood, and hurriedly bowed and left.

"What did the lord see?" Jia Xu got up and bowed slightly to Chen Mo.

"I remember that before Your Majesty ascended the throne, everyone in Luoyang City knew a lot about the three religions and nine streams." Chen Mo sat down cross-legged, poured himself a cup of wine, and said, "It seems that the people in this Luoyang prison have to be replaced." ”

"After all, I'm a little immature, and I'm not the enemy of the lord." Jia Xu laughed.

"People will grow, he is only eighteen, and no one can say what will happen tomorrow." Chen Mo smiled.

"People in the world always say that the lord is quite similar to Cao Cao, but in Xu's opinion, it is quite different." Jia Xu smiled.

At least in terms of his attitude towards the royal family, Chen Mo is more indifferent than Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will at least take care of his old feelings, but Chen Mo respects the Han family on the surface, but in his bones he has an attitude of indifference.

"He was born in a family, grew up in a family, although I have the name of a family, but since I was a child in the countryside, if it is a peaceful and prosperous world, I would like to be a good minister, but now, entangled in these, it is a burden." Chen Mo nodded, the circumstances are different, and the attitude towards the problem naturally cannot be exactly the same, he and Cao Cao grew up in a different environment, he was loyal to the big Han, but when he found that it could not be saved, Chen Mo would not be foolish and loyal, loyalty has a price, there has never been free loyalty in this world.

Jia Xu nodded, looked at the wine in the wine buds, and said with a wry smile: "If possible, I would like to stay in this prison for the rest of my life." ”

"It's impossible in my life, but I really hope that Wenhe can stay here and control the situation for me in the past few years." Chen Mo shook his head, he knew what Jia Xu meant, after all, it was the crime of killing the king, even if others didn't know, but Chen Mo knew that most of the others could guess it.

"My lord, please command." Jia Xu bowed.

"I will replace the jailers of the prison, and in the future, this Luoyang prison will be the place of Wenhe and governance in the next few years, and I will hand over a team of people to you, as for what to do, what this team does is very miscellaneous, and someone will carefully explain it to Wen He." Chen Mo looked at Jia Xu and said solemnly.

"Whoa!" Jia Xu can probably guess which team it is, the existence of Skynet has always been translucent among Chen Mo's high-level officials, and it has always been a department to detect enemy intelligence, but Chen Mo has always been clean and neat in dealing with hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China, and it is always conclusive that the evidence is conclusive, and it is not difficult to guess that Chen Mo has a force to supervise hundreds of officials in his hands.

Jia Xu did not hesitate, because since Chen Mo said it, he did not give Jia Xu a second choice, and for Jia Xu, hiding behind the scenes is exactly what he wants, and this is the safest place.

"What do you think about what happened next?" After chatting about the main thing, Chen Mo began to ask about some next directions.

"Now that Yuan Shu is called the emperor, it can be regarded as a disaster for the lord and Cao Cao, and the matter of killing the monarch will soon be forgotten, and the two of them are of little use to the end of the year and Dong Cheng, such as today's complete separation, although the lord is better than Yuan Shao once, but the foundation of Jizhou has not been damaged, and the ministers are foolish, the lord is at ease at this time to develop, secretly accumulate strength, and wait for the time to change is the right way, not too hasty." Jia Xu smiled.

Originally, Chen Mo was going to join forces with Cao Cao to clean up Yuan Shao, but now that Yuan Shu is the emperor, no matter what, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu are next to each other, and they must clean up Yuan Shu first, and the previous alliance is naturally impossible to talk about.

Anyway, Chen Mo is young, even if he consumes Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to death, now the situation in the world, Jia Xu feels that it is difficult to produce results in a short period of time, the Central Plains wants to be unified, it is possible in ten or twenty years, this kind of thing is not urgent, Chen Mo just took this opportunity to finish many things that were not done before, whether it is the academy, commerce, farming and fortifications, Jia Xu feels that after these things are done well, Chen Mo will not expand the land anymore, and after ten or twenty years, the first prince in the world may have to change to Chen Mo's head, So there is no need to rush it.
