Inside the General's Palace.

"Come," He Jin raised his glass and said to Liu Bei: "I will first toast Xuande with a glass to wish Xuande the joy of being a marquis today." ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei didn't dare to slack off, but also raised his glass and said, "Don't dare, it should be General Liu Beijing, and a glass with the princes here." ”

Everyone drank a glass of water and wine. He Jin raised his glass again: "This glass of wine, respecting Xuande and elegance, is really not something that eunuchs can impress." ”

The general personally toasted, Liu Bei did not dare to slack off, and thanked him again.

After everyone drank the wine, He Jin said again: "This cup of wine, you have to pay tribute to Xuande today." He thanked me here. ”

Liu Bei said secretly in his heart. It seems that his performance was really seen by He Jin.

"The general doesn't have to be polite." Liu Bei raised his glass in return and said: "Liu Bei's words are all out of a public heart, and he has no other intentions. Since ancient times, the country has been a long monarch, abolishing the long and young, and the way to take chaos is also. Is there a nine-year-old son of heaven who can rule the world? ”

These words are actually based on Liu Bei's deep understanding of He Jin's personality.

He Jin still has a measure of this person. When he first became a general, Situ Yang Ci sent his subordinate Kong Rong, the prodigy who could make pears at the age of four, to send a post to He Jin to congratulate him. As a result, because He Jin's subordinates in the mansion did not register Kong Rong immediately, Kong Rong also looked down on He Jin, so he returned to the mansion and surrendered to impeachment.

Henan officials are ashamed, and the swordsmen want to chase and kill Rong. The guest said in advance: "Kong Wenju has a heavy name, if the general complains about this person, the people from all over the world will lead him away." It is better to give it as a courtesy, which can be widely displayed in the world. ”

He Jin obeyed the latter, abandoned his old grudges, and took the initiative to recommend Kong Rong to return to the court as an official, and Kong Rong finally returned to the court.

In the end, He Jin and Kong Rong are both famous, one is considered to be upright, and the other is tolerant.

In fact, Liu Bei's deal with eunuchs is also this routine.

Although Liu Bei showed no pretense to the eunuchs. But he has repeatedly stated that he only obeys the orders of the Son of Heaven. In the eyes of the eunuchs, people like Liu Bei, who think they are loyal ministers, have seen a lot, used them more, and rectified them more. Such a character, even if he has thousands of troops and horses, as long as the Son of Heaven has a holy decree, he will be captured and killed.

Therefore, the Ten Standing Servants were very relieved of Liu Bei, and regarded him as a pawn that could be used to deal with He Jin, just like they used Zhang Huan to kill Dou Wu in the first place.

This is called the gentleman can be deceived in a way

In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, there has always been a gentleman who can't fight a villain, and a villain can't fight a hypocrite. He Jin is a gentleman, the eunuch is a villain, and Liu Bei is the protagonist.

Sure enough, He Jin was not only not angry when he heard Liu Bei's words, but was very happy. Because, in his opinion, a person with conviction and principles like Liu Bei. On the contrary, it is more reliable than those who tend to be inflammatory. At least, there is no need to worry that Liu Bei will be bought by eunuchs.

Seeing that many people were puzzled. He Jin told everyone what Liu Bei said today.

When everyone heard this, they all got up and toasted Liu Bei. Everyone said that what Liu Bei said was that he put the country first, and he was the minister of the society.

These are all future figures, Liu Bei did not dare to hold it up, and returned the respect one by one.

At this moment, a person suddenly entered, walked to the side of the general He Jin, and said a few words in his ear. Everyone looked at He Jin, and He Jin said to Liu Bei: "The Ten Standing Servants are on the order of the Son of Heaven and want me to take Xuande's plain soldiers to Xiliang to quell the chaos. I don't know what Xuande wants. ”

The meaning of He Jin's words is to show that I have no idea of annexing your army, and the plain soldiers are still yours.

Since Liu Bei gave the eunuch an idea, there is naturally a way to crack it. At the moment, he said: "General, he is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses." It was within the scope of the matter to quell the rebellion for the country. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Bei paused, and saw He Jin's face as usual. Then he said: "It's just plain soldiers, but a group of horse-sending farmers. There was no armor and no weapons. Rushing into battle, I am afraid that I will be taken advantage of by thieves, but it is not beautiful. Prepare your armor and weapons, train your soldiers, and prepare your food and salary before you can go on battle. ”

To put it bluntly, this method is not unusual, but it is just a "drag" word. In fact, it was Liu Bei who said that the soldiers and horses of the plain would be able to set off immediately, and He Jin could also come up with other ways to deal with the past. It's just that Liu Bei won't be able to sell favors in that way.

After Liu Bei's words, He Jin was overjoyed, and said again and again: "This plan is wonderful, this plan is wonderful." ”

Of course, Liu Bei knew that He Jin was the master of the imperial court in the next few months, because he planned to board He Jin's thief ship in a short time.

Seeing that the time was ripe, he suddenly said loudly: "Princess, Liu Bei has a word, don't vomit or be unhappy, and ask the princess to take a closer look." ”

When everyone heard this, they all gave Liu Bei a face, and they all said: "Xuande and the prince have something to say, please speak." ”

is called Xuande, naturally the two brothers He Jin and He Miao, both of whom are above Liu Bei regardless of their titles and official positions. The rest of the characters are all called princes.

Liu Bei said: "Since ancient times, if the name is not right, the words will not be good, and if the words are not good, things will not work." ”

Selling a pass, attracting everyone's attention, Liu Bei glanced at everyone, and saw that everyone's eyes were focused on himself, Liu Bei continued: "Now that the Beijing division is in a daze, and the people are uneasy, we should be the first to correct the name, in order to calm the world, and be prepared, I am willing to write to the Son of Heaven, please crown Dong Hou as the prince and king, and immediately become a vassal." I don't know the public, but you are willing to countersign. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone reacted, yes, as long as Liu Xie is sent out to be the prince and king, then the eldest son Liu Wei is the only heir, and one day the palace chariot is driven, and he will naturally ascend the throne as the emperor.

So, Liu Bei took out a book of music and handed it to He Jin. This piece is the general content proposed by Liu Bei, and its overall content imitates the piece of Gu Yong of Eastern Wu. I invited Cai Yong to write it earlier, Cai Yong is a great writer, this time, it is naturally comparable to right and wrong.

Sure enough, He Jin took it first, took a cursory glance, and was amazed, and shouted loudly: "It's good, it's too good, and it's true." ”

When everyone heard this, they were shocked, and this evaluation is a bit high.

Without waiting for everyone to urge, he read aloud: "Ministers, worship after death, and go up to His Majesty the Emperor." Whispering, since ancient times, the young and the old are orderly, and the descendants are different, but where there is a country and a family, the difference between the descendants and the descendants must be understood, and then the different respects and humility will make the difference between the high and the low, and the class will exceed the level, so that the love of flesh and blood will be born, and the hope of coveting will be extinct. ”

This is too much in line with the political correctness of this era. Isn't this what Confucius diligently pursued? The young and the old are orderly, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, kings and ministers, fathers and sons, upper and lower dignity, each in its place.

The so-called ideal country is nothing more than that.

"The second son of the emperor, Dong Hou, was born smart, both civil and military. Your Majesty's parent, flesh and blood affection, Your Majesty loves it, does not want to travel far, and forcibly stays in Beijing. However, parents love their children and seek far-reaching goals. ”

first praised Liu Xiehao, and then said Your Majesty, because you love your youngest son Dong Hou, you don't want him to go away, this is human nature, but parents love their children, so they have to think about their future.

"Xijia Changsha Chen's public security plan, on the power of the princes, think that the power is heavy, although the relatives must have the burden of rebellion, the power is light, although there must be a preservation of the Zuo. Therefore, Huainan's brother did not end up in the country, and he lost his power. Wu Rui Shuchen, passed on Zuo Changsha, and gained from the lightness. Emperor Wen of the former Han Dynasty made Mrs. Shen sit with the queen, and Yuan Ang retired from Mrs. Niang's seat, and the emperor was angry. And the etiquette of distinguishing between the upper and lower, the ring of Chen Renyi, the emperor is both pleasing and strange, and the lady is also enlightened. ”

He also used the words of Jia Yi and Yuan Ang to give several examples of relatives and alienation to the point of cannibalism. Jia Yi and Yuan Ang were both famous ministers of the world during the time of Emperor Xiaowen.

"The ancients split the land and established a country. And build the princes to inherit the son of heaven, so respect the temple and the community also. Ji Xiayue, you can seal the princes and set up big officials! This three-generation law also. Because of the auspicious time in the middle of summer, the ministers are willing to die and wish Your Majesty, and the edict will be sent to Yousi, and it is advisable to feudalize it as soon as possible, so as to determine the status of the monarch and ministers. What the minister has said today is not biased, and he sincerely wants to use Prince An to facilitate the marquis. ”

According to the system of three generations, summer is the time for the canonization of princes. So hurry up and divide the marquis of Dong out to be the prince and king. It's not that I'm biased, but it's that it makes the prince stable and convenient for Dong Hou.

When everyone heard this, they all expressed their willingness to countersign the recital.

So, the guests and hosts rejoiced.

This piece later spread all over the world, making Liu Bei famous, and everyone said that Xuande Gong had lofty vision.

Later historians believed that if Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had listened to Liu Bei's words earlier, why would the world be in chaos.

Only Liu Bei understands that this piece is useless at all, and it is purely for Liu Bei to use it to brush up his reputation.

The emperor will soon be hanging, and he will be officially called Emperor Han Ling soon.
