Three people become tigers, this idiom fully illustrates the power of public opinion. Before Liu Xie sent troops to complete the great cause of reunification of the world, the supporters in the court accounted for the majority, but there were still a small number of people who did not approve of unification at this time. It's just that the opinions of these people do not belong to the mainstream, and under the general trend, Chen Qun and others can only remain silent.

The appearance of a total solar eclipse can be said to provide an excellent opportunity for Chen Qun. If you want to use force, ten Chen Qun can't fight Liu Xie if they tie it together, but Chen Qun also has his own advantages. He was born in a family and was a celebrity in Xuzhou, and the appeal of celebrities in Shilin is generally not weak.

There are many celebrities in the Han Dynasty, Chen Qun is not the most top-notch, and there are many people who are more famous than Chen Qun. But Chen Qun seized the excuse of the total solar eclipse this time, which made many people who were willing to speak for Liu Xie unable to find a strong rebuttal. After all, from ancient times to the present, a total solar eclipse represents bad luck, not some auspicious omen.

Liu Xie himself does not believe in this set of statements, but he cannot prevent most people from agreeing with this statement, especially the common people, who are even more convinced of this "feudal superstition".

Liu Xie was very depressed, and couldn't help but think of the famous saying, the truth is often in the hands of a few people, this sentence is really not wrong at all. Liu Xie knew that a total solar eclipse was just an astronomical phenomenon caused by the movement of the sun, the earth, and the moon to a certain position. But no one believes it, even top sages like Guo Jia, Pang Tong, and Sima Yi are skeptical of Liu Xie's explanation. They don't want to believe it all, let alone the ordinary people.

The theory of gods and ghosts was born mostly because of the fear of the unknown by human beings, and thus those gods with supreme power appeared. For example, the appearance of this total solar eclipse, under the secret manipulation of Chen Qun and others, has become a manifestation of the emperor's dissatisfaction with Liu Xie, the son of today.

Liu Xie knew who was behind the ghost, but now was not the time to clean up Chen Qun and the others, because Chen Qun and the others were very cunning, and they handled it very cleanly, and they didn't ask Liu Xie to grab the handle. Although it is not impossible to prove that these things were done by Chen Qun and others, then it will expose many secrets that Liu Xie does not want to know. In order to ruin more than ten years of hard work in order to get out of the bad breath, Liu Xie will not do such a loss-making transaction.

Chen Qun's purpose is very clear, that is, to use this total solar eclipse as a providence to force Liu Xie to cease war and negotiate peace with Sun Liu. But how could Liu Xie be so easy. Didn't you say that this was the Emperor's warning to Lao Tzu? Okay, it's always okay for Lao Tzu to admit his mistakes, right? Isn't it just a sin for oneself, and it won't lose a piece of meat.

Whenever there is a warning from heaven, most of the people who are emperors will take the form of self-edicts to calm down, and Liu Xie is no exception. Although he doesn't believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world, since the majority of people believe in ghosts and gods, there is no need for him to learn from Bruno to insist on the truth, even if he is burned to death, he will not bow his head.

When Liu Xie's edict was issued, Chen Qun and the others were very excited, thinking that this was Liu Xie's confession and their plan was successful. Unexpectedly, after the edict was issued, what should Liu Xie do, and there was no sign of withdrawing troops and talking about peace, but the movement of troops and horses became more frequent, and a major war was about to break out.

Chen Qun and the others were a little dumbfounded, this Liu Xie didn't play cards according to the routine! Generally, after the edict was issued, the soldiers should be stopped and the people should recuperate, but Liu Xie did not give up using force against Sun Liu, so Chen Qun's purpose was also frustrated. Guilt is not Chen Qun's goal, the withdrawal of troops is the key. Only by letting Liu Xie withdraw his troops can Chen Qun increase his voice in the next cooperation with Sun Liu. But now that Liu Xie does not withdraw his troops, Chen Qun will not be able to prove to Sun Liu that he has the weight of speaking in the court, let alone get the support he wants from Sun Liu.

Excuses are time-sensitive, and excuses like total solar eclipses can be used for the first time, but they will not work after use, just like toilet paper, which is a disposable.

The total solar eclipse represents a warning from heaven, and once Liu Xie's edict is issued, it means that the total solar eclipse is over, and unless there is any more vision, Chen Qun can continue to talk about the warning from heaven. But natural visions may be so frequent, Chen Qun can't find a suitable reason except for hoping for a miracle.

And something that caused Chen Qun even more headache has happened, although Liu Xie has no public evidence to prove that Chen Qun and others have ill intentions, through this incident, Chen Qun and his accomplices have been blacklisted by Liu Xie. Liu Xie can't use the total solar eclipse to clean up Chen Qun and the others, but if he really wants to clean up someone, what reason can't he be?

Chen Qun and the others' buttocks were not clean in the first place, but those things were not a big deal, so Liu Xie just recorded them for future use. And now, since Chen Qun and others can't get along with Liu Xie, and they forced Liu Xie to issue an edict against themselves, then Liu Xie doesn't have to be polite to Chen Qun and others.

Liu Xie didn't move Chen Qun immediately, not long after the total solar eclipse, and it was easy to think of the words retaliation when he started to clean up Chen Qun at this time. It was Zhu Hao who was cleaned up by Liu Xie first, for the sake of his father Zhu Jun, Liu Xie asked him to guard the west gate of the palace for himself, but he didn't expect that Zhu Hao didn't know what to do, so he had to get involved with Chen Qun. This palace is Liu Xie's home, so that Zhu Hao, the "internal thief", guards the west gate, and Liu Xie can't sleep well at night.

It is not difficult to deal with Zhu Hao openly, this Zhu Hao has always felt that he is a talent, Liu Xie does not have a vision for heroes, this time Liu Xie ordered him to lead his troops south to participate in the war, in the eyes of outsiders, this is Zhu Hao's opportunity, so that Zhu Hao has a hard time, so he had to hand over his duties, and led the order to lead his troops to Jingzhou to report to Liu Xie.

To deal with Chen Qun, you need to take it step by step, the first thing to do is to cut off its wings, Zhu Hao is just the beginning, followed by Yang Xiu. Yang Xiu and Yang Dezu often boasted of being smart, and it happened that there was a lack of strategists under Lingling Yan Yan, so Liu Xie sent Yang Xiu to Lingling. The remaining Yuan Yao, Liu Xie didn't move, Yuan Yao was at best a ventilator, without his upline, he could only do things honestly, and he couldn't play a moth.

Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang, and Yuan Yao all have the surname Yuan, but the relationship is not harmonious. Since Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu split up and set up their own doors, there has been no contact between the two sides. Although they are now begging for a living under Liu Xie's hands, the relationship between the two sides still shows no signs of improvement.

Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door. It is another thing for personnel transfers that seem normal in the eyes of others to fall into the eyes of Chen Qun, who has a ghost in his heart. Zhu Hao and Yang Xiu were transferred out one after another, and Chen Qun regarded this as a harbinger that Liu Xie was ready to attack him.

Gritted his teeth and confronted Liu Xie head-on? Chen Qun didn't have that guts. Those who do great things and cherish their lives will not be able to achieve great things after all. Chen Qun didn't wait for Liu Xie's next move, and asked the court to resign under the pretext of illness, hoping that this kind of action could dispel Liu Xie's idea of preparing to clean him up.

But how could Liu Xie be that kind of good gentleman. Although it can't be said that Liu Xie is a villain who will repay him, Liu Xie will never let go of those who dare to go against him and make him unhappy. Want to take advantage of illness to go home to avoid the limelight, and wait for the limelight to pass before continuing to make trouble with yourself? Not to mention the doors, there are no windows!

Just when Liu Xie was about to issue an order to start an operation against Chen Qun, a person who could change Liu Xie's decision appeared. Since Lu Zhi's death, Cai Yong has become one of the few remaining Confucian scholars in the court. Long before Lu Zhi's death, Zheng Xuan was no longer alive, and with Lu Zhi's death, Cai Yong became the leader of the Great Han Shilin world. However, Cai Yong is indifferent to fame and fortune and obsessed with studying ancient classics, so today's Han Shilin is a group of middle-aged people led by Kong Rong, Wang Cang and others as leaders.

Being able to invite Cai Yong, who has been asking about the world for a long time, to intercede for him is enough to show that Chen Qun has taken out the last family foundation in order to protect himself.

In the face of Cai Yong, Liu Xie didn't need to hide his emotions, and in front of Cai Yong, he complained greatly about his dissatisfaction with Chen Qun. I don't expect you to help me, but don't hold me back when I'm about to get down to business.

Cai Yong listened with a smile on his face, until Liu Xie complained enough, and then asked Liu Xie: "Holy Lord, maybe it is for the sake of the old thin face to spare Chen Changwen this time?" ”

“…… Master Cai, what did Chen Qun come up with to make you intercede for him? Liu Xie asked Cai Yong very curiously.

Cai Yong smiled slightly when he heard this, "Rare treasures, difficult to move my heart, peerless and unique, not to be missed." ”

Liu Xie understood that Chen Qun was born in a family, and all those who are in a family have many treasured ancient books. Cai Yong's good book is like his life, Chen Qun is the right medicine this time, and he bets on the right treasure.

Cai Yong's face can't be left unavailable, since Chen Qun can invite Cai Yong to come forward, Liu Xie decided to let Chen Qun go. However, letting go of Chen Qun does not mean that Zhu Hao and Yang Xiu will be let go. This is Chen Qun's minions, and Chen Qun didn't intercede for these two together, so Liu Xie wants to find a punching bag, and these two are the best candidates.

"Holy Lord, I don't know what you plan to do with Zhu Hao and Yang Xiu?" Cai Yong asked Liu Xiedao out loud.

"Master Cai, isn't it that the two of them have also given you benefits?"

"No, the old minister is just curious, so he asked casually."

"Oh, Master Cai, don't worry, the two of them are not guilty to death, they are just a little confused, and they need to suffer a little." Liu Xie said to Cai Yong when he heard this. And Cai Yong heard Liu Xie say that he just made Zhu and Yang suffer a little and would not ask for their lives, so he didn't talk about it anymore. After all, Liu Xie is the Son of Heaven, and it is not easy to see him spare Chen Qun on his face.

"Master Cai, it's rare to come here, it's better to go to Xiangyang Academy and communicate with the great Confucian Sima Hui and Pang Degong." Liu Xie sent an invitation to Cai Yong on behalf of Xiangyang Academy. Regarding Liu Xie's proposal, Cai Yong readily accepted.

Knowing that Cai Yong was visiting, Xiangyang Academy was very excited. is not only because Cai Yong is a great Confucian in the world, but the main reason is that what Cai Yong has done in recent years can be said to have benefited the world's scholars. Those lone authentic works that have been published one after another are a great joy for readers.

There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book. Although no one has said this now, there are few people who don't like books, especially those who only know the legendary lone books whose names have not been seen, and those who read books are even more fond of them. There is no way, in order to protect their own interests, the family cherishes most of the books in their own homes, and they do not show it to outsiders.

The improvement of papermaking and the emergence of printing technology came out in advance under the strong promotion of Liu Xie, and now it is no longer a dream for readers to read books to their heart's content. Only those lonely authentic works, scholars from poor backgrounds still can't easily see it, it is Cai Yong who has fulfilled their wishes, so these people are grateful to Dade for treating Cai Yong.

Cai Yong received the highest level of reception in the history of Xiangyang Academy, but Liu Xie did not join in the fun at this time, but chose to stay in the barracks to meet the Jiangdong envoy.

Once born and twice matured, Xue Zong's second entry into the Han camp was much calmer than the first time he entered the Han camp, at least he did not show trembling like the last time.

"What are you doing here today?" Liu Xie asked Xue Zongdao.

"Back to the Holy Lord, Wechen is here today to send a letter on the order of my lord." Xue Zong said as he took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it with both hands, and someone on the side took it and handed it to Liu Xie.

Liu Xie opened the letter and couldn't help but be happy. The content of the letter is very old-fashioned, it is nothing more than that God has the virtue of a good life, Sun Quan can't bear to see the sword soldiers everywhere and the people suffer, and is willing to fight with the court to turn the war into a jade silk, as long as the court is willing to withdraw the troops, he is willing to fight for the court Yongzhen Jiangdong, never rebel Yunyun, at the end of the letter also asked Liu Xie to let Zhuge Jin go back to Jiangdong to reunite with his family.

"Jingwen, this letter was written by Sun Quan himself?" Liu Xie put down the letter and asked Xue Zongdao.

"Back to the saint, my lord was there when he wrote this letter."

"And you know the contents of this letter, too?"

"I know a little bit about it."

"Then tell me that Sun Quan intends to seek peace, have you ever thought about how to deal with the relationship with Liu Bei? There is more than your Jiangdong Navy in this Chibi Navy camp, right? ”

"Don't worry, as long as the saint is willing to quit the army, Liu Bei will have my lord personally to persuade him." Xue Zong hurriedly replied.

"Huh...... It's better to wait for Sun Quan to persuade Liu Bei, and you will come back later. Liu Xie smiled and sent Xue Zongdao.

was not rejected by Liu Xie in person, Xue Zong thought that there was hope for peace, and immediately resigned and left, and after he left, Liu Xie immediately asked Guo Jia, Sima Yi and others to come over, and handed them the letter sent by Xue Zong.

"Holy Lord, it seems that Sun Quan also has a master by his side." Guo Jia put down the letter and said to Liu Xie.

Before Liu Xie could speak, Sima Yi had already said: "The master is not necessarily, he can only say that he is a little clever." ”

"Shiyuan, what do you think?" Liu Xie opened his mouth and asked Pang Tongdao, who was handing over the letter to Fazheng.

"I don't know how the Holy Lord replied to Xue Zong?"

"I excused myself that Liu Bei might not agree to strike the army, and Xue Zong was perfunctory."

"Holy Wisdom." Pang Tong praised when he heard this, and then said: "This letter must not be from Sun Quan's original intention, the purpose of writing this letter is to test our army's current attitude, and second, to paralyze our army's vigilance." I believe that it won't be long before Xue Zong will go and return. ”

"What do you think I should do?" Liu Xie asked with a smile.

"Instead of debunking it in person, it's better to plan it." Pang Tong laughed.
