"Xu You persuaded Yuan Tan?" In the government office, Chen Mo looked at the bamboo slips handed over by Li Ru and frowned.

"Xu You's identity in Jizhou is a little special, this person is Yuan Shao's old friend, the lord should know that when he was in Luoyang, Xu You and He Hao were Yuan Shao's henchmen, and later He Hao was killed by Dong Zhuo, but Xu You has been following Yuan Shao's side, since Yuan Shaoshang was too punctual in Bohai, although he was born in Yingchuan, but in the faction dispute under Yuan Shao, he has always been outside the faction, and now Yuan Shao is dead, Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan treat him as an uncle." Li Ru nodded.

Yuan Tan was persuaded by Xu You to fully support Yuan Shang, which neither Chen Mo nor Cao Cao wanted to see.

"Xu You!" Chen Mo frowned and knocked on the table, which could be regarded as an old acquaintance, and looked at Li Ru and said, "I remember that Xu Yu has not a very good relationship with Tian Feng, Fu Zhu or the Yingchuan Shi clan. ”

"Yes, this person believes that he is a friend of Yuan Shao, when he was under Yuan Shao, he thought he was superior, and now that Yuan Shao is dead, he is Yuan Shao's lonely minister, his posture is a little ostentatious, and now he is persuading Yuan Tan to return to obedience, it is said that even Yuan Shang is not in his eyes." Li Ru nodded.

"Entrusted to the ministers?" Chen Mo nodded, his fingers tapped on the table without hurry, and thought, "Minister? That's not how it is done. ”

Li Ru's eyes flashed, and he somewhat understood what Chen Mo meant.

"The lord wants to ......," Li Ru looked at Chen Mo.

"It's hard to say now, this matter has to be decided before acting." Chen Mo shook his head and said: "Inform Jizhou to make every effort to investigate Xu You, even if he is an official and upright, check his family, and secretly test the attitude of the Jizhou scholars." ”

He remembered that during the Battle of Muye, there was a conflict in the rear of Jizhou, and Xu You's family was arrested by trial, and later Yuan Shao exposed the matter.

"Whoa!" Li Ru nodded, Xu You is now in the limelight in Jizhou, but looking at it in another direction, it is also the target of everyone, Guo Tu and Xin Ping naturally have no good face for Xu You, and the judges and others have also been at odds with Xu You before, plus Xu You does not know how to restrain now, although the merit is high, but it has aroused everyone's disgust, but if there is no Xu You, the struggle between the two factions in Jizhou and Yingchuan may resume again, especially Yuan Tan's character, provoking, may be greater than the original chaos.

Indeed, as Chen Mo said, this matter has to be planned well, otherwise even if Xu Yu is successfully moved, it may not be able to split the two sons of the Yuan family, one is not good, but it may allow Yuan Shang to take the opportunity to completely control Jizhou, which is equivalent to giving Yuan Shang time to integrate Jizhou.

"Let people tell Yuan Tan that even if he surrenders, the military power must be grasped in his own hands, and without the military power in his hands, no matter what Yuan Shang promises to him, when Yuan Shang repents, he will be powerless to resist." Chen Mo smiled.

"Whoa!" Li Ru nodded, Yuan Tan must have enough strength to confront Yuan Shang, this is the premise of the second son's opposite, otherwise if Yuan Tan even hands over the military power in his hand, even if he overthrows Xu You, what if Yuan Tan intends to resist in the end? There is no strength to confront Yuan Shang at all.

"Let's do it first, do this step, and then talk about anything else!" Chen Mo smiled.

"Whoa!" Li Ru nodded in agreement, said goodbye and left, this time the person who went to lobby was not Xun You, but Xu Shu, the matter of the three school minutes, Xun You obviously did not stand on Chen Mo's side, this is not difficult for Chen Mo to understand, but the trust relationship between the two sides is a little delicate at the moment.

Although the matter of Jizhou is in a hurry, it is useless to be anxious at the moment, things have to come step by step, Li Ru and Xu Shu go to do things, and Xun You and Yang Xiu are left in this office to deal with daily things, with the talents of the two of them, there is no need for Chen Mo to worry about dealing with these things.

In spring, everything gradually wakes up, and the flocks of geese returning to the north pass through the vast fields and undulating mountains and hills.

To the south of the North Mountain, condescendingly looking down, on a large vast plain, the city and the countryside have become small, more are endless fields, the farmers who shuttle back and forth are like ants coming and going endlessly but quite orderly, it is the spring ploughing season, after several years of reclamation and farming, the fields that can be used on the land of Heluo have been mined, the land has been glowing with green, vibrant, the majestic Guancheng provides these people with a safe farming environment, even if it is not far from the enemy, but it is still prosperous.

Dotted on the roads between the fields, from time to time you can see the patrol soldiers galloping by horses, as the core of Chen Mo's forces is also the front line, the security in Luoyang can be said to be the best in the entire Chen Mo forces.

In the south of Luoyang City, Xun You walked on the street, he could feel all this, the people's enthusiasm for life was unprecedented in the previous Lingdi period, although it was the first experience, but in fact, it is not difficult to understand, the establishment of a new order, such a scene is necessary, but in the future, I am afraid that in the end it will end up like the same as it was back then, the world seems to be in this boom and decline and then from decline to smooth cycle continues.

And every time it turns from prosperity to decline, it actually happens with the weakening of imperial power, and why does imperial power decline? If you discuss with others, there are many reasons, relatives, eunuchs, inner palaces, and even the incompetence of the Son of Heaven.

But if you don't deceive yourself, in fact, part of the reason for the weakness of the Han Dynasty is the expansion of the power of the scholars, even if it is suppressed by relatives and eunuchs, but fundamentally, the power of the scholars has been expanding in the Han Dynasty and even pushed forward to the Qin Dynasty, but the power of the scholars is prosperous, and the imperial power will inevitably be impacted and squeezed.

Then the party ban appeared, from the perspective of the royal family, the party ban was not wrong back then, but for the scholars, it was wrong, just like the minutes of the three studies.

It is true that the lord is a scholar, but at this point, he is no longer an ordinary scholar, to say a big disrespectful word, saying that Chen Mo is now the son of heaven in Guanzhong, in fact, in fact, there is nothing wrong, and more importantly, this son of heaven in Guanzhong can be called the top in the world in terms of ability and wisdom, so he saw the root of the problem, and consciously began to weaken and suppress the power of the people, but the means were much higher than the party ban back then, and it was directly from the root to limit the power of the people.

For the time being, the lord chose to compromise, but Xun You saw it very clearly, this time the dispute between the three academic minutes seemed to be won by the scholars, but it was based on the premise that Jizhou had not won, otherwise it would not be this result.

The minutes of the three studies will definitely reappear in the future, appearing in a tougher posture, and then it will be the real bloody storm.

Looking at the busy streets, Xun You was a little [rural] at a loss, it is lucky and unfortunate to be able to meet a Ming Lord here, because the Ming Lord is usually not too benevolent, they will not allow anything that is not under their control or threatens to appear, and Shiquan's persecution this time obviously touched the bottom line of the other party, but where should he go?

Assisting Ming Jun Kuang to support the world, this is the greatest ideal of every wise man throughout the ages, but the world may prosper, but the price is probably the sinking of the power of the people.

This time is different from the past, the lord already has a force in his hands that can completely confront Shiquan, and after Shiquan is defeated this time, I am afraid it will be difficult to regain glory.

What is in front of you now is firmly on the side of the Shiquan or firmly on the side of the lord? This is Xun You's biggest worry now, he can clearly feel that the lord is wary and alienated from him, and the reason is the matter of the previous three school minutes.

This is related to the foundation of the family, which naturally includes the Xun family, but Xun You also knows that now the foundation of the lord is very solid, if he can take Jizhou, when the time comes, the three academic minutes will be promoted, as long as it is stable for ten years, it is not impossible to sweep the world, if you really want to stop it, you can only choose to prevent the lord from getting Jizhou.

But this is tantamount to betrayal, Xun You's principle, it is impossible to do such a thing, but other than that, there is no other way.

"Mr. Gongda!" Yang Xiu's voice sounded behind him, which also interrupted Xun You's thoughts, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Yang Xiu walking up quickly and bowing.

"Why is Dezu here?" Xun You returned the half-salute and said suspiciously.

"There are some things I would like to ask Mr. Gongda." Yang Xiu fell half of Xun You's position and walked on the street with Xun You.

"The talent of Dezu is rare in ancient and modern times, what are your doubts?" Xun You asked with a smile.

"It's the matter of the minutes of the three studies." Yang Xiu lowered his voice as he walked: "Xiu can see that although the lord has retreated this time, it is not sincere, but forced, I am afraid that this matter will be brought up again in the future, Mr. Zhengping is also holding on to this matter now, I heard that he was assassinated yesterday, but he was rescued, and he was imprisoned with Dr. Yushi, I always feel that this matter is somewhat related, I am afraid that it is not as simple as this." ”

Xun You's eyes flashed when he heard this, he really didn't know about it, but ...... There is more than enough success and more failure.

"Sir?" Yang Xiu looked at Xun Yu who was stunned suspiciously, and said suspiciously.

"It's okay, what crime did Doctor Yu Shi go to prison?" Xun You asked.

"Fornication with Yuan Shao, in addition to corrupt private morality, unworthy morality, his family in the house reported that the imperial doctor and his brother and sister-in-law ......" Yang Xiu sighed, and also obeyed these people, there are so many women in the world, why are they staring at their own brother's women, this time not only is the official gone, but also the reputation is discredited and the face of the scholars: "Now this matter has spread in Luoyang City." ”

Xun You sighed faintly when he heard this, the scholars stand by virtue, and if this virtue is lost, I am afraid that even if the family of the imperial doctor revives in the future, it will be difficult to have today's prestige.

And what's even worse is that this is probably what the lord wants, to hit the people's blind trust in the scholars, and at the same time, these beaten scholars want to revive their families, and they can only take the road of three learnings, the lord makes a move, it is really silent, but it is directly to the point, Xun You believes that these people whose reputation is ruined may become the most powerful supporters of the three studies in the future, but is this really good?
