Chapter 118: Night Talk
Liu Tong took advantage of the cool breeze outside the account, got rid of the complicated thoughts, strode forward, and took Jia Xu's hand, "Wen Hegong, the wise man in the world, Liu Tong's father and son have admired him for a long time, please come in quickly!" As he spoke, he pulled Jia Xu into the account, invited him to take a seat, and made a move.
Seeing that Liu Tong was so courteous, Jia Xu didn't dare to ask for it, so he also asked Liu Tong to sit down. "Wen Hegong, why did you come?" Liu Tong asked with a grin.
Jia Xu looked at Chen Gong and was very puzzled, didn't you ask Chen Gong to invite me here? said: "I heard that the champion Hou Jun's food is not continuous, so I came to see him off, so I can say goodbye to Senior Brother Chen Gong." ”
Liu Tong shook his hand and said: "No, no, I have been operating in the eight northern states for a long time, and the soldiers are good enough to eat, how can the grain and grass not continue?" Excuse, Chen Gong's excuse! He wants to persuade you. ”
As he spoke, he smiled at Chen Gong, only to see Chen Gong's face with a black line. Liu Tong continued: "Wen He Gong is a far-sighted person who is well versed in the general trend of the world. Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Guo Yan were destroyed one after another, and Uncle Zhang Xiu was a person who was loyal to the public and compassionate for the people, so how could he continue to do evil? You're here to make peace! ”
Jia Xu is a person who is good at arguing, seeing Liu Tong a beautiful young man, speaking deeply, shaking his head, and about to speak, Liu Tong grabbed and said: "Wancheng is a small place, the soldiers are not fine, the generals are not wide, it is the place of death in the four wars, Uncle Zhang Xiu has no heart to fight for hegemony, the husband is not guilty, he is guilty, and the destruction is only in the evening." Now Xuzhou is newly determined, Si is subordinate to Chong'an, my father has freed his hands, the northern army, grain and grass are endless, supplementing Luoyang, Hongnong, Chang'an, the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly? ”
Jia Xu originally wanted to show that Wancheng had the strength and determination to fight, but when he saw that Liu Tong had already given the corresponding words, he had to smile awkwardly.
"Mr. Wenhe is also a person who is worried about the world, how can he bear the war in the original land in his heart? Why don't you strike the army and secure the world together? ”
Jia Xu said in his heart, this son is so good at arguing, and it is useless to talk too much, so he said: "Champion Hou, General Zhang Xiu has nothing else to think about, and he is even more unwilling to meet with the soldiers of Yan Guogong, and he is willing to annex it, but after my Wancheng is annexed, when I am from Tun Wancheng, the territory of soldiers and horses is still the same!" ”
Liu Tong laughed when he heard this, "Wen Hegong, how can you be so short-sighted? Now the world is to be determined, Uncle Zhang Xiu is heroic and majestic, is he a talent in a city? Wen Hegong is also willing to seek only one city, not one country? Wen Hegong, integrate into the north or leave my northern system, think twice? You don't see it, Han Fuzhi's frustration and Yuan Shaozhi's Tian Feng are all in the center of the Northern Governor's Palace, and you don't see Zhang Yan, Zang Ba, Zhang Jaw, Zhaozhao, Gao Shun, etc., are all in charge of the army in a state or a single town. Wen Hegong wants to be independent of my northern system, doesn't it make people suspect that he has the intention of rebelling again? ”
Liu Tong's meaning is very clear, Wenchen Fu and Tian Feng are from Han Fu and Yuan Shao, and they are now the central ministers of the Northern Governor's Mansion, and Zhang Yan and other military generals who have attached or surrendered have also been heavily armed, far more prominent than Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu who independently control a city and command 20,000 troops, and you Jia Xu may also enter the center of power in the north.
Jia Xu got up and bowed his head and said: "Champion Hou's sincere words, I should relay General Zhang, and there will be a reply tomorrow." ”
Liu Tong pulled Jia Xu and said: "Wenhe Gong, the family of the princess, has settled in Luoyang, if General Zhang Xiu is unwilling to return, I can also send the family of the prince to Wancheng, if the prince is unwilling, he can continue to live in Luoyang, and he will never threaten him." This is a gentleman's words, don't doubt it. Jia Xu was moved and thanked him.
On the second day, Zhang Xiu opened the city gate to welcome Liu Tong into the city.
After Liu Tong entered the city, he asked Gao Shun and Xu Huang to accept the city defense, garrison Wancheng, and pass through Yuzhou and Jingzhou. Let Zhang Xiu and Duan Xuan lead the headquarters to Chang'an, and cooperate with Zhang Jaw to pass through Yongzhou and Liangzhou to prevent Hanzhong. He took Jia Xu, Chen Gong and others back to Luoyang.
So far, Dong Zhuo's forces have been basically cleared.
Liu Xie went out of the city to greet Liu Tong, and Liu Xie was very happy about the success of this expedition against Zhang Xiu. Liu Tong had discussed with Liu Xie many times before sending troops, and Liu Tong had invited Liu Xie to personally recruit and be the vanguard, if it were not for the opposition of Yang Biao, Han Rong and other old ministers, he would have almost made the trip. Yang Biao even reprimanded Liu Tong for ignoring His Majesty's safety and being a child's nonsense!
However, he participated in the negotiation and won a great victory, which made Liu Xie feel as if he were in person. Liu Xie named Liu Kuan as the general, and Liu Tong as the leader of the Central Army, commanding the Praetorian Guard, and was a three-grade general who was serious.
Later, Liu Kuanbiao Qiu Liju was the history of the Liaozhou Thorn, Kebineng was the history of the Mengzhou Thorn, Liu He was the history of the Youzhou Thorn, Tian Yu was the history of the Yongzhou Thorn and the general of Yongzhou, Qiao Yu was the history of the Yanzhou Thorn, Xian Yufu was the history of the Qingzhou Thorn and the general of Qingzhou, Qi Zhou was the history of the Jizhou Thorn, Kong Rong was the history of the Xuzhou Thorn, Chen Deng was the history of the Bingzhou Thorn, and Wuqiu Jian was the captain of the school. Immediately afterwards, Liu Kuan appointed Jia Xu and Chen Gong as military aircraft pilots and joined the military aircraft department. Liu Yan, the son of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, who was put into the account not long ago, was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
Many people have long been in office, but they have not been officially appointed by the imperial court, and Liu Xie has all agreed.
On the day of Liu Tong's triumph, the happiest was Liu Xie, the young man's heart, Liu Xie could not be recruited in person, deeply regretted, Liu Xie left Liu Tong to ask about the details of the war, and after the dinner, Liu Xie left Liu Tong behind.
Because of the painful conversation, the two drank and chatted freely, chatting about everything, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Although Liu Xie is young, he has experienced hardships and is also a scheming person, and many chats are tentative and courteous. However, the two people who are not much different in age chatted without restraint in the drunkenness, and the two gradually entered the state.
Liu Tong's straightforwardness and sincerity made Liu Xie gradually let go of his disguise. Liu Xie rarely has a feeling of bosom friend, no one will tell his true thoughts to himself so closely and without pretense so closely, but Liu Tong is often a little casual in his plainness, and there is a difference in his words. In getting along with himself, Liu Tong was calm and natural, unrestrained and free, without much red tape, but he did not give himself a feeling of unhappiness or disrespect.
"Brother Tong, what is the purpose of the reform of the Imperial Uncle's Military Aircraft Department, the Six Ministries and the military system? Isn't Uncle Huang afraid of other people's criticism? In the dark, Liu Xie finally chose the best time and asked the question he had always wanted to involve.
"Brother Huang, the world is constantly changing, and our system should change with it. I know that there are people who think that the Governor's Mansion does not follow the ancestral system, and there are quite a few criticisms. ”
Liu Tong didn't expect Liu Xie's topic to suddenly change, so he replied casually. He really wasn't ready to answer in this regard, and after a slight pause, Liu Tong asked:
"Brother Huang, Gaozu was the 'Three Chapters of the Law', Xiao He formulated the "Nine Chapters of Law", Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, formulated the "Military Law", and Zhang Cangding "Statute", why is this?"
"This ...... The previous dynasty was harsh, and the foundation of troubled times was also! ”
"Shang Jun changed the law, why was the Qin State able to quickly become strong and sweep away the Liuhe and sweep the Eight Desolations?"
Seeing that Liu Xie was no longer speechless, Liu Tong continued: "The law of Shang Jun is suitable for the world at that time, far beyond the Six Kingdoms; The system of Gaozu and the grand atmosphere have made my Han rich and prosperous for a hundred years. However, the situation is ......"
Liu Tong couldn't bear to hit Liu Xie, so he didn't continue to talk. Liu Xie was also lost in thought.
"Brother Tong, Uncle Huang's system is novel, I don't know where it comes from?"
Liu Tong was really asked, it can't be said that he is from the next generation. The design of the system should seek truth from facts, start from the actual situation, and try to make the system conform to the current social situation and adapt to the current development situation. In order to promote the development of productive forces. ”
Liu Tong originally wanted to say a little more Marxist-Leninist, but considering Liu Xie's ability to understand, he still held back. But nowadays, there are many people in society, especially the old ministers in the DPRK and China, who criticize Liu Kuan's reform, and even many people think that Liu Kuan is a chaotic minister and thief.
Now that Liu Xie can say it in person, it can be seen that this has also become a serious problem in Liu Xie's heart. How can Liu Xie understand and accept Liu Kuan's reform of the ancestral legal system? Liu Tong suddenly remembered a story that Liu Kuan had told him in his previous life.
"Brother Huang, I will start doing an experiment for Brother Huang tomorrow, and after the experiment is over, Brother Huang will be able to understand the importance of the system and the necessity of continuous adjustment of the system."
"Oh", Liu Xie suddenly became interested, "Brother Tong, let's talk about it." ”
"It's hard to say in words, the imperial brother might as well calm down and observe slowly."
Liu informed that just verbal persuasion is not effective, so let's have something new.
