Chapter 024: Discuss the current situation with Liu Bei
Liu Bei heard Chen Qun say this, and hurriedly said: "Of course you can, I also want to ask Changwen for advice." ”
Chen Qun hurriedly waved his hand: "Brother Xuande, don't be presumptuous, let's just express our own views on the current situation." I don't know what Brother Xuande thinks of Taiping Dao? ”
Liu Bei thought for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "If Taiping Dao commits chaos, I am afraid it will really shake the foundation of the Han Dynasty, this is my little opinion." ”
Chen Qun nodded: "I agree with Brother Xuande's point of view, what does Brother Xuande think the imperial court should do in order to properly deal with this catastrophe?" ”
Liu Bei thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "It's difficult! It's hard! ”
Chen Qun nodded and smiled, "Of course I know it's difficult!" But as a subject of the Han Dynasty, especially as an imperial prince, Xuande Gong should think more about the future of the Han Dynasty. ”
Liu Bei looked at Chen Qun with bright eyes when he heard this, and he realized that Chen Qun really understood him, and even his identity as an imperial prince was clear, and he said with a straight face: "It is not impossible for the imperial court to deal with this catastrophe, but the following things must be dealt with, otherwise the rebellion will not be quelled." Even if the rebellion in Taiping Road is quelled, there will be others who will rebel. ”
Chen Qun nodded and said, "I would like to hear about it." ”
Liu Bei let out a long sigh and said: "First of all, the party ban should be lifted immediately!" His Majesty's persecution of literati over the years can be said to be too much! It has affected the foundation of the Han Dynasty.
Secondly, the eunuch party should be eradicated immediately, it can be said that if the eunuch party is not eliminated, the chaos of the Han Dynasty will not stop!
Thirdly, His Majesty should be advised to be considerate of the people's feelings and considerate of the people's opinions. In recent years, the people in many places have been struggling to make a living, if the people can't be safe, what will the Han Dynasty do for long-term stability? ”
Chen Qun looked at Liu Bei's serious expression and shook his head: "What Brother Xuande said is not unreasonable, but I don't completely agree with Brother Xuande's opinion. I agree with the first thing that Brother Xuande said, I think the party ban is the most important of these three, and as long as the party ban is solved, the Han Dynasty will be worry-free. ”
When Liu Bei heard this, he instinctively thought that Chen Qun was considering this matter from the standpoint of the family, so he shook his head and hugged his fists and said: "Changwen may not know anything in Beijing, the people in many places are already facing a desperate situation, and the Taiping Dao in various places can be so rampant, which has a lot to do with the people's poor livelihood. If Your Majesty only lifts the ban on the party, once the Taiping Road incident occurs, there will be eunuchs in the Han Dynasty and a Taiping Road rebellion outside, and the building will collapse! ”
After listening to Liu Bei, Chen Qun understood why Liu Bei in history attached so much importance to the people's feelings and public opinion, and his pro-people thinking had been deeply rooted in his soul, but this era was not an era when the people were the masters of the country, and the influence of the family and the big clan under the feudal system on the current situation was a decisive factor. This is also the main reason why Liu Bei lost to Cao Cao in history - Liu Bei's political ideas are too advanced and have surpassed this era, and Cao Cao's proposition of being close to the family is the mainstream to adapt to this era.
At the beginning of the three kingdoms in history, Cao Cao occupied the time, Sun Quan occupied the location, and Liu Bei occupied the people, and the three of them each occupied a major success factor, so the three of them have made great achievements. But obviously, in the end, the location and the people were defeated by Tianshi.
Chen Qun saw that Liu Bei had such political ideas at such a young age, but his idea of observing public opinion and attaching importance to the superstructure completely ignored the backbone of this society - the family and the big family, so Liu Bei's life in history was such a setback, and in the end he still failed to keep the Han world, which became a regret for the ages!
Chen Qun was very suspicious at this time that Liu Bei, like him, had traveled from the 21st century. Because Liu Bei's political thought is consistent with the concept of governing the country in China 2,000 years later. Chen Qun now believes that Liu Bei and his mission are the same, but the methods they take are different. Therefore, Chen Qun wanted to help Liu Bei, he wanted to see what kind of career Liu Bei, who had no defects in his political views, would break through.
Of course, Chen Qun's decision in his heart has absolutely something to do with Liu Bei's identity as a member of the Han royal family. Chen Qun thought that if he couldn't help Emperor Ling, then he would help Liu Bei. After all, the task given to him by the Emperor's Divine Order was to maintain the rule of the Han Dynasty, so Chen Qun had no choice. Chen Qun knew that he would definitely be dragged down by one task after another by the Emperor's Divine Order, so he wanted Liu Bei to realize his other idea of maintaining the rule of the Han Dynasty, which was also the worst plan he had made based on the course of history.
Chen Qun made a decision in his heart, he looked at Liu Bei's eyes and smiled: "Brother Xuande, junior brother doesn't agree with your opinion very much!" ”
Liu Bei looked at Chen Qun suspiciously when he heard this: "Ao? Why? I would like to hear about it. ”
Chen Qun nodded and said: "It's right that Brother Xuande is concerned about the suffering of the people, and it's not wrong that Brother Xuande suggested eradicating the eunuchs, but Brother Xuande didn't see it through, and it is neither the common people nor the eunuchs who can influence the situation at the moment, but those big families."
Brother Xuande, please think about it, now that the people are displaced, it is also a fact that the eunuchs are chaotic, although the Han Dynasty is terminally ill, why is it still standing? It is because there are still many great families who are loyal to the Han royal family, so the Han Dynasty will stand, otherwise it would have collapsed long ago! ”
Liu Bei waited for Chen Qun to finish speaking, looked at Chen Qun's eyes, frowned tightly, and thought about it.
Seeing this, Chen Qun continued: "Brother Xuande, the reason why I didn't agree with your views on the current situation before is because of this, in my younger brother's opinion. As long as the imperial court lifts the ban on the party and gives justice to the persecuted sages, it will continue to win the support of the majority of families and clans. And as long as these families and clans support the royal family of the Han Dynasty, the eunuchs in the court will naturally lose their right to speak, and how can they participate in politics? Even if the imperial court makes a move against the eunuchs, it will quickly stabilize the situation because of the support of the family.
As for the imminent Taiping Dao rebellion, there is no need to be afraid, most of the Taiping Dao believers are from poor people, and the reason why they joined Taiping Dao is mostly because they can't eat enough, as long as those families close to the royal family open warehouses and release grain, plus the imperial court sends troops to suppress it, the Taiping Dao rebellion will definitely be quelled soon.
That's why I said that contact with the party ban is the most important thing at the moment. I told Brother Xuande this in the hope that Brother Xuande would pay attention to the strength of the children of the family at all times in the future, because they are not a person, but represent a family, and there is a force to be reckoned with behind them. ”
Liu Bei looked at Chen Qun puzzled, he didn't understand the meaning of Chen Qun's words to him at this time, but he was still unwilling to associate with those children of the family in his heart, which had a lot to do with Liu Bei's poor background, and the most important thing was determined by Liu Bei's political philosophy. Liu Bei instinctively thought that Chen Qun was excusing the children of the family, because in his eyes, Chen Qun himself was one of the representatives of the children of the family. But in any case, Liu Bei also admired Chen Qun for having such a political proposition at a young age.
No one knows whether Liu Bei listened to Chen Qun's words, but after thinking for a while, Liu Bei hugged his fists at Chen Qun and said: "Changwen's words are really thought-provoking, so Changwen's next plan is to persuade His Majesty to lift the party ban?" ”
Chen Qun nodded: "Of course, my position is very firm, that is, to go all out to maintain the rule of the Han Dynasty, since I see the maladministration of the Han Dynasty, of course I will try to propose it to Your Majesty, as for whether Your Majesty listens or not, it is not for me to decide." ”
Hearing this, Liu Bei shook his fist at Chen Qun: "Changwen, I didn't expect you to be so young and have a heart to serve the country!" Admire from the bottom of your heart! But Changwen, I suggest that you don't tell your thoughts in person, after all, you are too young, and you are worried that Your Majesty may not listen to you. But if you change someone, such as the teacher below, the master here, the effect will be very different. ”
Chen Qun nodded: "I agree with Brother Xuande's proposal, and I don't plan to tell His Majesty in person." I have just been dismissed by Your Majesty, how can Your Majesty meet me? I accept your proposal, and I'll talk to Uncle Lu about it later. ”
Liu Bei sighed when he heard this: "Although I disagree with your political opinions, I am still willing to see Your Majesty try to implement your ideas, no matter what, as long as you can save the Han Dynasty, so that the people of the whole world can live a prosperous and healthy life, so that our children and grandchildren can enjoy a peaceful and prosperous world!" ”
Chen Qun smiled slightly when he heard this, stepped forward and gently patted Liu Bei's shoulder: "Brother Xuande is really worried about the country and the people, since my generation was born in this world, he should think of the emperor's grace and do his best to share the worries of His Majesty." ”
Liu Bei nodded: "What the long article said is extremely true!" After talking to Changwen today, I learned that Yingchuan Chen Changwen is really talented, and you can persuade Tang Zhou to rebel against Taiping Dao with the power of one person, which is really extraordinary! ”
Chen Qun shook his head slightly: "Forget it, don't mention it!" It's all tears! Although I persuaded Tang Zhou to surrender, I couldn't save him and his family, not even his son. And His Majesty's killing ring against the Taiping Dao people is too big! So many innocent people have been implicated, and no one knows the torment in my heart! ”
Liu Bei looked at Chen Qun, who frowned slightly: "Could it be that Your Majesty dismissed your official for this?" ”
Chen Qun looked at the surprised Liu Bei and waved his hand: "It's nothing if it's an official or not, I just have a clear conscience!" Seriously, I was already disappointed in Your Majesty, but the Taiping Dao people did even better! They actually killed my relatives, so I will continue to try to help Your Majesty, and I have to climb the Taiping Road!" I am sorry for my dead relatives! ”
Liu Bei stared at Chen Qun, who was suddenly domineering, and was stunned for a moment, and then he blinked and frowned: "I didn't expect Changwen to bear so much in private!" Your contribution to the Han Dynasty will not be forgotten by future generations. ”
Chen Qun's eyes turned red when he heard this: "Brother Liu can say this, Changwen is really moved." Brother Liu can now be said to be the person who knows Changwen best. ”
Liu Bei's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Changwen, if you don't dislike it, how about we become righteous brothers?" In the future, we will work together to maintain the stability of the Han Dynasty. ”
When Chen Qun heard this, he immediately rejoiced: "Okay! That's great! This is also what the little brother thinks in his heart! To be able to become righteous brothers with Brother Liu, I can't ask for it in a long article! ”
When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately grabbed Chen Qun's hand, and then pulled Chen Qun to come to the Lufu shrine, Liu Bei lit the incense candle, and then lit a handful of incense, and then divided Chen Qun in half, and the two worshipped God in Lufu in this way.
After the righteousness ceremony, Chen Qun bowed to Liu Bei: "Junior brother Chen Qun greets eldest brother." ”
Liu Bei grabbed Chen Qun's hand and said happily: "Righteous brother! Hahaha....... ”
Chen Qun understood that Liu Bei was in a good mood now, because Liu Bei thought that worshipping him would help improve his reputation. And Chen Qun was even happier, he seemed to see Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's expressions that they had to call their second brother when they saw him in the future. However, Chen Qun didn't dare to be the second brother of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he felt that he was in fourth place.
