Chapter 296: Guanzhong Enters the Game
Everyone was happy during the banquet, and they were not affected by the previous topic and atmosphere. Long Jun saw that the big stone in his heart also fell gently, since Guo Jia intentionally or unintentionally put Long Jun in a high position, there are inevitably various parties in the Guanzhong forces, although the gentleman is not a party, but this kind of problem between reason, Long Jun can not be cleared, as long as this dispute does not involve the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion, Long Jun is also happy to see it, after all, competition can make people progress, and the dispute between gentlemen is completely conducive to the development of Guanzhong.
After the meal, everyone returned to the Military Aircraft Department and continued the topic that had not been discussed just now. After a meal, Guo Jia and others also figured out that since the new policy is conducive to Guanzhong's independence from the princes and reduces the dependence of the people of Guanzhong on the Han Dynasty, then it is better to implement the new policy slowly, compared with the canonization of the six departments, the three provinces are more convenient for the people to accept.
So Guo Jia picked up Long Jun's plan, turned to the page of the three provinces' powers, and said in a deep voice, "The lord has the intention to ban the three princes and nine secretaries system to distinguish the general trend. After thinking about it, his subordinates felt that it was better for us to take it step by step, set up three provinces first, take back the powers of the three dukes, and make them empty as honors. The implementation of the six departments has already been carried out by our side, so after the three princes are eaten up, Jiuqing will be like the fish meat under the knife, and let us cut it. What do you think? β
Seeing that Guo Jia gave in and proposed a plan to encroach step by step, Long Jun smiled slightly and turned his head to look at the remaining three. Seeing this, the other three thought about the feasibility of Guo Jia's plan for a while, and after a few breaths, the three of them nodded lightly. Immediately, Xun Yu continued: "The position of the Three Princes has actually been vacated by the princes, and after our army takes back His Majesty, we might as well not touch the Three Princes and Jiuqing." The lord can be in the name of good governance, Yuan Zhi, Wenhe, and Gongda are promoted to the position of the chief officials of the three provinces, and then devour the prestige of the three princes in the court, and it will not be long before the three provinces become the mainstream of the imperial court. β
"Let's take three of us into three provinces?" Xun You pointed to his nose and glanced at Xu Shu and Jia Xu. Obviously, the most suitable thing for this kind of thing is Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Xun Yu. First of all, the only one who supports the reform is Jia Xu, and secondly, Guo Jia and Xun Yu obviously have a belly case, and they definitely have more ways than them to solve the three princes and nine qing. So Xun You was puzzled in the smiling demeanor of the two, "Wenhe is just that, why choose the two of us?" β
In fact, it wasn't just Xun You, Xu Shu couldn't figure it out, so he looked at Guo Jia with a burning look, expecting him to give an answer. Who would have thought that Guo Jia and the others didn't speak, but Jia Xu explained to the two, "The three princes and nine kings are not ordinary people, the names of Fengxiao and Wen Ruo are well known to the government and the opposition, once they join them, it will inevitably make people suspicious, which makes it inconvenient to set aside the rights of the three princes." Compared with the two of them, although Gongda was also the one who took the initiative to take refuge in the lord back then, Gongda has rarely appeared in the world's field of vision, and Yuan Zhi and I are even less famous, so the three of us are the most convenient people to act in secret. β
After Jia Xu's explanation, Xun You and Xu Shu nodded slowly. Seeing that everyone was ready, Long Jun clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention, and said with a smile, "I thought you would persevere, but I didn't expect you to figure it out with one meal." It is true that this move will shake the world, but in the future, I think you have also thought clearly, after the establishment of the three provinces, we still have a lot to do, so there are some things I am here to explain to you in advance. β
"Please make it clear to the lord that we will obey the lord's orders!" Knowing that Long Jun still had something to say, the five of them glanced at each other, hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted, listening to Long Jun's next plan. Anyway, they are now in a situation where there are more lice, no itching, more debts, and no worries, so that Long Jun can pick out all the words, and it saves them from guessing.
"Actually, it's nothing, after this battle, the imperial court must take Chang'an. Now the renovation of Weiyang Palace is nearing completion, and the next thing is Changle and other palaces. This shows that the opening of the palace needs to be arranged by us, I know what everyone thinks, and everyone also knows what I am worried about, so after the emperor stays in Weiyang Palace, in addition to daily court affairs, I hope you will not be involved in the internal struggle of the palace. At this point, Long Jun sighed helplessly, and said softly, "Of course, it also includes the previous struggle for power between me and the little emperor, I hope you can uphold the righteousness in your heart, don't abandon the basics, and forget our real expectations." β
In fact, everyone knows very well that once the imperial court moves to Chang'an, Guanzhong will definitely have a struggle with the imperial power within the imperial court, which is an inevitable struggle, and several people will definitely find ways to keep the position for Long Jun, or even go further. However, Long Jun stated this matter in advance, and did not hesitate to use Guanzhong's political affairs to blackmail a few people. At this moment, the five of them had mixed feelings in their hearts, if the little emperor was really Mingjun, it would be fine, but they just understood that the little emperor was not a Ming master, otherwise they would not let Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu hold the two generations of powerful ministers in their hands, and Yuan Shao even secretly colluded with many courtiers.
"The Lord expects us to do our best. However, since the lord mentioned this matter, his subordinates also have a sentence that they want to explain to the lord. It is related to the foundation of our country and the safety of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. If the little emperor behaves in the treacherous behavior of the two emperors of Huan Ling, we will not let him act recklessly, otherwise this is not only irresponsible to the lord, but also irresponsible for our lives and the safety of the world. β
Hearing this, Long Jun glanced at Guo Jia helplessly, what is a treacherous thing? Is there a definition for such a thing? Sighing weakly, Long Jun regretted his promise to them that day. Don't look at a few people who don't have any ideas now, but with Long Jun's promise to go first, and control the government and the opposition later, can they not do their best to help Long Jun go further? However, there is no way to say this kind of thing deeply, so Long Jun sighed and said, "Okay, you and I can know this kind of thing, there is no need to be so convincing." If he really plots against me, Ben Hou won't sit still, so you can rest assured! β
After receiving Long Jun's assurance, Guo Jia smiled reassuringly, and the other four also smiled when they saw this. It's not that they don't believe in Long Jun, it's that Long Jun has always acted unexpectedly, and no one dares to guarantee what Long Jun will choose after the world is stable. If before this, Long Jun had the kind of mind that happened again, wouldn't it give the little emperor an excellent opportunity to steal the fruits of Guanzhong's victory.
After dealing with these messy things, everyone will then discuss how to welcome them back to the court. Now that the battle situation is rotten, both sides have their own victories and defeats, although it is related to the interference of the middle, no one dares to guarantee whether Lu Bu will hold on. So today, Long Jun and others have to discuss how to stumble on the Bingzhou army and bring Guanzhong into it, so that they can attack the state and capture the Taiyuan Imperial Court.
"It's not me, Guanzhong wants to be involved, there must be an absolute excuse to force Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to personally invite me to wait, the previous Longyang led troops into Jizhou, Ben Hou felt that this could be used, including the matter of frustration, as long as the water in Jizhou was muddy, Yuan Shao lost, and the Yanzhou army was embarrassed, they will definitely find new allies, what strategies do you have to help Ben Hou take a step."
When the five of them heard the voice, they all fell into thought, don't look at this matter is easy to say, before everyone also regarded the imperial court as a bag, but if you want the Guanzhong Army to be involved, you need more than just the cooperation of Jizhou, in case Yuan Shao feels that Jizhou is powerless and invites the Qingxu coalition army, isn't Guanzhong a bamboo basket for water. So after thinking about it again, Jia Xu said in a deep voice, "It's about all the next plans of our army, and my subordinates suggest that our army may as well declare war directly on Bingzhou, anyway, with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in front, Lu Bu can't occupy any righteous status, what does the lord think?" β
Without waiting for Long Jun to reply, among the crowd, Xu Shu took the lead in opposing this matter, "This move is inappropriate, don't look at the Yuan Cao coalition army is not afraid at the moment, but once the battle situation is flat and the two sides are deadlocked, Lu Bu's righteous reputation will be highlighted, and at that time, Qingxu and Jingzhou may make a move." In addition, since Dong Zhuo held the Son of Heaven hostage in Guanzhong, what he has done has basically been criticized by the world, what should I do if Jingyi and the two states jointly send troops to my Guanzhong? β
"But if you want Yuan Shao to invite the lord, I'm afraid that the sun will come out in the west, Yuan Shao will have a lot of problems with the lord in Luoyang, and even meet each other in battle, if it weren't for the young emperor's inclination to the lord, I'm afraid the lord would have already fallen into the siege of the scholars. Now that Yuan Shao relies on the reputation of the fourth and third dukes, he has recruited famous people in the Shilin such as Judge, Xiao Ji, Xu You, Tian Feng, etc., and he will not take the lord in his eyes. If you want him to invite the lord, we might as well make a fuss between Qingzhou and Jizhou, what do you think? β
"Between Jizhou and Qingzhou?" Long Jun's eyes lit up when he heard this, indeed, if according to Xun You's words, an obstacle was set up between Jizhou and Qingzhou, according to Yuan Shao's character, he would definitely not be dealing with Liu Bei, even if the battle situation in Jizhou was erosive, he would not turn to Qingzhou for help, which contributed to the situation that Yuan Shao could only turn to Guanzhong for help. So Long Jun smiled and said, "If you want to force a gap between Jizhou and Qingzhou, this is too simple for us and others." Now that Longyang is in Jizhou, as long as we let him dress up as a Qingzhou soldier and create friction on the border between Qingzhou and Hebei, Yuan Shao will definitely not tolerate it. β
It is rumored that Yuan Shao found a daughter-in-law for his second son Yuan Xi before this battle, and she was a woman from the Zhen family in Wuji County, Zhongshan. I plan to wait for the capture of the state to marry this woman, and by the way, I will establish the position of the son. The lord might as well let the second son lead the troops to intercept this person, and then blame Qingzhou, what do you think? Although Yuan Shao doesn't like Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi very much, but taking away his daughter-in-law, according to a good-faced person like Yuan Shao, even if he knows that this matter has nothing to do with Qingzhou, I'm afraid he won't be in Qingzhou. β
Multiple wives and daughters? How familiar is this kind of thing? After listening to Xun Yu's suggestion, Guo Jia glanced at Long Jun meaningfully. However, at this moment, Long Jun didn't notice Guo Jia's eyes, he was recalling the caravan he encountered when he was traveling in Jizhou, the woman of the Zhen family, I don't know which young lady has ever married? If you want to say that you traveled back then, you really have to thank that girl, otherwise how could he travel all over Jiangbei Prefectures within a year and meet Ma Chao and Xu Chu.
Now he is not the person who only knows about political affairs but does not know about affairs, and he has both gratitude and admiration for that woman. It just so happened that after his unremitting efforts during this time, three of the six girls in the house were pregnant, plus one He Rou. So Long Jun smiled and said, "Send an order to Long Yang, ordering him to lead his troops to Zhongshan without limits, and take the Zhen family to the Bohai Sea to hand over to Yin Zhao's fleet. As for Yuan Xi's fiancΓ©e, he stopped it directly, and when the Zhen family stepped into the gate safely, he took this woman east to the boundary of Qingzhou, without giving Qingzhou any chance to quibble! β
"Whoa!"
