Guan Yu and Chen Zhen drank three times.

Guan Yu and Chen Zhen both felt a sense of pity, put down the wine honor, and said to each other almost in unison: "Where do you want to go in the future?" ”

"Uh...... Ha Lu Ha ......"

The two of them stopped at the same time, looked at each other, and couldn't help but laugh at each other.

Historically, Chen Zhen was upright, simple, old-fashioned, and spoke more easily and smoothly. He was engaged in Yuan Shao in his early years, and later saw that Yuan Shao was mediocre and not the master, so he left Yuan Shao and returned to his hometown. Until Liu Bei became the pastor of Jingzhou, he was then engaged by Liu Bei, and then followed Liu Bei into Shu, and after Liu Bei captured Yizhou, he was promoted to the northern governor of Shu County. Later, he was worshiped as a scholar and was ordered to envoy to the state of Wu, frequently crossing the edge between Shu and Wu.

Historical event, in Wuchang, he made an alliance with Sun Quan, and the person who made the covenant between Shu Han and Eastern Wu to divide the world equally was Chen Zhen.

In fact, between Liu Bei's surrender to Yuan Shao, Chen Zhen began to pay attention to Liu Bei, and only then did he be willing to serve Liu Bei as the main thing.

It's just that now, Chen Zhen passed Liu Bei's letters and words to Guan Yu, which made Chen Zhen's heart more or less dispel his plan to serve Liu Bei. What's more, with Liu Bei's current situation, it is naturally not enough to attract Chen Zhen to follow. In history, it was Liu Bei who became famous after he won Jingzhou, so he invited Chen Zhen to work for him and was turned into a business.

At this moment, Guan Yu had already understood Chen Zhen's ambition, and knew that Chen Zhen was leaving Yuan Shao. After talking with Chen Zhen, Guan Yu knew that this Chen Zhen was a well-educated person. In his heart, he had the idea of introducing Chen Zhen to the New Han Dynasty.

And in the same way, Chen Zhen also saw Guan Yu now. It seems that his sworn brother Liu Bei is a little bit of a distraction, and it seems that Guan Yu seems to be resistant to returning to his brother's side, so. That's why he asked.

No, the questions of the two were surprisingly consistent, and they spoke in unison, and the two looked at each other, and they both saw each other's care and their hearts.

After laughing, Guan Yu said first: "Xiaoqi (Chen Zhenzi), after you finish sending the letter this time." You don't plan to go back to Yuan Shao, do you? Where are you going? With your talents, you should not be wiped out in the world, but you should do something for the people of the Han Dynasty. ”

"Hmm. Chen plans to go back to his hometown first and pay attention to Liu Biao, the lord of Jingzhou, if Liu Biao is a lord who can be worshipped, Chen plans to ......"

"Filial piety. With all due respect. Liu Biao is not the master, if not, after Mr. Qi returns to his hometown, he can go to Luoyang to see, Liu Yi, the Taifu of the New Han Dynasty, is a little brother of Guan, this, you should also know the way, right? I may write a letter. Let you bring it to Lew, and he will definitely make arrangements for you, sir. Guan Yu interrupted Chen Zhen's words.

"The ...... of the New Han Dynasty," Chen Zhen said. He looked a little hesitant.

"Huh?" Seeing this, Guan Yu said to Chen Zhen: "Xiaoqi, what do you think of the New Han Dynasty?" ”

"Well......" Chen Zhen nodded slightly: "Don't hide it from General Guan, Chen also wanted to go over to join the New Han Dynasty, but ......"

"How?"

Chen was worried that the New Han Dynasty and Cao Cao's current court, as well as the court controlled by Dong Zhuo at the beginning, were the same in nature. If Chen arrived in the New Han Dynasty, would he serve the imperial court? Or to play for Lewy? Chen Zhen said frankly: "Chen's ability is not as talented as the general said, it's just a little bit of learning, Chen Mou's heart, in fact, he just wants to do something for the people of the Han Dynasty, but Chen is worried that after arriving in the New Han Dynasty, Chen will see some unbearable facts, such as, the king is not the monarch and the minister is not the minister." There may not be anything now, but there will inevitably be some problems in the imperial court in the future, and Chen is worried that Chen's efforts will be in vain. ”

"Ha Luha, it seems that the world still has some misunderstandings about the New Han Dynasty." Guan Yu smiled when he heard this, and said to Chen Zhen: "Mr. Xiaoqi, you must not have been to the New Han Dynasty, and you don't know the situation of the New Han Dynasty. In fact, the matter of a monarch not being a monarch and a minister not being a minister should not have happened in the New Han Dynasty. Well, although Guan has not really stayed in Luoyang, and he has not really understood the actual situation of the New Han Dynasty, Guan still pays attention to it all the time. Let me tell you, the New Han Dynasty and Cao Cao's current court, and the court controlled by Dong Zhuo at the beginning, are completely different things. ”

"Oh? I want to hear about it! Chen Zhen sat up straight and listened earnestly.

Guan Yu waved his hand, motioned for Chen Zhen to raise his glass, and did not need to be too restrained, he took a sip of wine before saying: "The detailed situation, Guan is really not very clear, but Guan Mou knows that the current New Han Dynasty has created a precedent that we have never had in the Chinese Dynasty, that is, under the royal family, a council cabinet was established. ”

"Cabinet of Councillors?" Chen Zhen didn't understand much.

"Well, this Guan Mou also heard from others, and the details are not very clear, but Guan Mou knows that this council cabinet should be similar to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but it is not a person's Prime Minister's Mansion, but a political institution in which some truly talented courtiers can serve as cabinet members. Its institutions, directly responsible to the emperor, include all aspects of a country, construction, people's livelihood, war, economy, education, scientific research, and so on. When Guan Yu said this, he shook his hand to Chen Zhen with a wry smile on his face: "Don't ask Guan how these terms are explained, because Guan doesn't understand either." However, Guan Mouzhi said that although the council cabinet established by the New Han Dynasty was directly responsible to the emperor, the emperor did not have the right to veto the policies that all the ministers of the council cabinet collectively decided to implement, but the ministers of the council cabinet could collectively discuss and decide on any matter that was beneficial to the state. The emperor had the right to ask questions, but he did not have the right to decide. The emperor had no power to pursue policies that were unfavorable to the Han Dynasty. ”

"What? Then, in this way, isn't it equivalent to hollowing out the imperial power of the Han family? So, is this big man still a big man in the Liu family? Chen Zhen said a little shocked.

"The world of the Han Dynasty is the world of the people of the Han Dynasty, and it does not belong to the Han of a certain surname." Guan Yu seemed to be deeply touched and said to Chen Zhen: "Mr. Xiaoqi, this sentence was said by Guan's little brother Liu Yi to Guan, he said, whether it is the emperor or the ministers of the court, we should work hard to revitalize the Han Dynasty, and we usually say the most words." Revitalize the Han, in the final analysis, how to revitalize the Han? Does it mean that the royal Liu family is prosperous, and that the royal family is rich even if it is a revitalization of the Han Dynasty? The so-called revitalization of the Great Han. It does not mean that the prosperity of a certain family is revitalized, but that the entire Han Dynasty, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is a surplus of labor, so that the people of the entire Han Dynasty can have children and support the elderly. Strong and hardworking, social stability. To achieve the wisdom and enlightenment of the people of the Han Dynasty, everyone is literate and understand ink. Know right from wrong, understand reason, have examples to follow, and have laws to follow. The court law is enlightened. The court officials are assigned to their respective duties. Dedication to duty, local officials, enlightened governance of the locality, unified level, no matter how big or small, necessary records, local officials, in strict accordance with the law of the country. Establish an open and transparent whistleblowing system. Local officials are not well governed, and local people can listen to heaven directly. ”

"And. Guan's little brother said that the new Han Dynasty did not yet have the conditions to implement a nationwide official evaluation system, and the new style of education had not yet been fully rolled out. In the future, all court officials and local officials will have to go through strict examinations before they can take up their posts. In the new style of teaching, it is not just to cultivate talents for officials, but to cultivate talents in various fields, such as mathematics, astronomy, manufacturing, and so on. Guan Yu said, with a yearning in his eyes: "Mr. Kaoqi, seriously, Guan Mou wants to go to the New Han Dynasty immediately to see what the current New Han Dynasty is like." ”

"Dazhi, this is the real Dazhi!" Chen Zhen heard Guan Yu say so much in one breath, he couldn't help but be a little excited, now, he was not moved, it was strange, in his heart, he couldn't wait to go to Luoyang sooner to see what the current New Han Dynasty was like.

"Hehe, sir, do you still say that you are worried about the future of the New Han Dynasty?" Guan Yu looked at Chen Zhen with a smile.

"No, no, no......" Chen Zhen shook his head again and again: "Seriously, if the Han can do what Taifu Liu Yi said, let the people of the Han live and work in peace and contentment, and the people will be rich and the country will be strong, even if the king is not a monarch and a minister, what if he is not a minister?" If Chen can also contribute to it, Chen will be proud to contribute to such a prosperous man in the future. ”

"Well......" Guan Yu still explained: "Liu Yi told Guan Mou, he said, a court, a royal family, an emperor, if you want to maintain the permanent prosperity and strength of a dynasty, it is not enough to rely on a royal family to govern the world. Or, in some eras, this royal family may appear a stunning talent, under the rule of this eloquent and enlightened Ming monarch, the world may appear a prosperous period, but we often say that wealth is only three generations, who dares to guarantee that every emperor of the imperial family has great talent? Just like our current Han Dynasty, the first two emperors, the second emperor Huan Ling, under their governance, the Han Dynasty declined rapidly, and only then did the Han Dynasty have turmoil, and only now that the people are struggling to make a living, and the world is full of wars. Liu Yi said that the establishment of a council cabinet in this way can ensure that the world's talented people can govern the country for the Han Dynasty, and there is no need to put all the responsibility on the emperor's body, so that the people can make the best use of their talents, and the Han Dynasty can be prosperous for a long time. ”

Chen Zhen listened with relish, looked at Guan Yu's gaze changed, and said to Guan Yu with admiration: "It turns out that General Guan is not a martial artist, but a knowledgeable person, who knows so much. ”

Guan Yu's red face was very red because he drank some wine, and when he heard Chen Zhen say that he was knowledgeable, he couldn't help but turn purple, and hurriedly took out a large stack of papers from his arms, handed them to Chen Zhen, and said: "Mr. Chen, it seems that you really lack understanding of the New Han Dynasty, you actually don't look at the New Han Dynasty Xinmin Newspaper that delivered to all parts of the Han Dynasty, these, except for what Guan heard him say when he met with Brother Liu Yi, in fact, most of them are seen from this Xinmin Daily." ”

"Huh? I'm ashamed, Chen usually rarely browses the Xinmin Newspaper of the Han Dynasty......" Chen Zhen also took the newspaper handed by Guan Yu with a red face.

"Alas, although every issue of the Xinmin Newspaper of the New Han Dynasty will send people to all parts of the Han Dynasty, there are not many literate people among the common people, and these newspapers will soon fall into the hands of the princes of the Han Dynasty, which is difficult for ordinary people to see. For example, in Cao Cao's powerful territory, it is not allowed to popularize the Xinmin Newspaper of the New Han Dynasty, they now have their own newspapers, if they see someone passing the Xinmin Newspaper of the New Han Dynasty, they will be arrested, I think, it is the same in Hebei, Yuan Shao will definitely order someone to put these newspapers away and burn them. Guan Yu sighed and said.

Well, the establishment to the development of the New Han Dynasty. It has gone through a lot of things, and the scope of involvement is quite wide, fact. In all respects, there are indeed many wars that do not see the smoke of gunpowder. Like Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and even Liu Biao in Jingzhou, etc., these princes, in fact, who doesn't know the importance of Lu Dao knowledge? They themselves can be regarded as well-educated people, and the things reported by the New Han Dynasty New Han Newspaper. Most of them have something to do with their policy policy, which is not good for their governance, and. The Xinmin Newspaper of the New Han Dynasty sometimes has some propaganda implications, how can they let these things affect the governance of their powerful territory?

Now in this ancient era, the execution of some things. It will be more thorough than in the Hereafter. For example. The local ruler, the prince of one side, as long as he gives an order, will make all opposition disappear, and when he wants to do something, he can do it almost without much effort. The issuance of an order can make the local people dare not read the Xinmin newspaper of the New Han Dynasty anymore.

This is an era of no freedom of the press, an era of no freedom of speech.

Let's see who dares to criticize the court on the street in Xudu. Let's see who dares to say Cao Cao's in the current dynasty?

In the court of Xudu, Cao Cao had the final say. One person can control the fate of countless people.

Chen Zhen also saw Cao Cao's hegemony in this court, so although he had the intention to leave Yuan Shao and join the Ming Lord, he did not consider Cao Cao.

"Okay, General Guan, let's not talk about this, today I have to be reminded by the general, in the future, Chen will naturally have to go to Luoyang of the New Han Dynasty, as for the letter, forget it, Chen doesn't want to be misunderstood that he relied on his relationship with General Guan to get the use of the New Han Dynasty. Since the New Han Dynasty is such an enlightened court, Chen wants to see if Chen's meager talent can enter the eyes of Taifu Liu Yi. Chen Zhen had already made up his mind to go to the New Han Dynasty to have a look, but he refused Guan Yu's kindness, and he didn't need Guan Yu to write to Liu Yi.

"Well, that's whatever you want. Guan heard that those who were officials and generals in the New Han Dynasty must be familiar with the basic national laws of the New Han Dynasty, and they must go to some schools for a period of training. When you arrive at that department, there will be someone who will entertain and register your situation, and a celebrity like you, Mr. Chen, may be directly elected to the court as an official. Guan Yu told Chen Zhen what he knew.

"Well, you're useless, aren't you? Chen took it first and took a good look. Chen Zhen nodded in gratitude, and then turned to Guan Yu and said: "General Guan, it's easy for us to do someone Chen, now that you are alone, you can go wherever you like if you leave Yuan Shao, but General Guan, what about you?" Where are you now......"

When Guan Yu heard this, he said indifferently: "My situation is a bit difficult, so it's useless for Guan to be in a hurry." Seeing that Mr. Chen, you are also a kind and cheerful person, Guan Mou will not hide from you, Guan Mou is now with the righteous brother Liu Bei, has been separated, our ideas have been divided, according to Guan Mou's observation, although he has the name of Kuang Fu Han family, but he has his own selfishness, in the name of righteousness, he intends to do things against the sky. Now Guan Mou can be regarded as seeing clearly, saying a thousand things and ten thousand, and the person who can finally make the people of Dahan live a good life is the person worthy of Guan's service. Look at my eldest brother Liu Bei, what can he bring to the people of the Han Dynasty since he started the army? Guan Mou's heart was already cold, and he planned that after sending his sister-in-law back to Liu Bei this time, Guan Mou would resign and go to serve the New Han Dynasty. Hehe, maybe, we will meet in the New Han Dynasty in the future. ”

"Cloud Chief!"

Chen Zhen listened to Guan Yu's words, quickly stood up, and bowed deeply to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, you believe in Chen so much, you can tell Chen the truth in your heart, Chen Zhen thanks you for your trust in Chen." ”

"Ha Lu Ha...... Between friends, if they are true friends, why hide it, to be honest, as long as everyone is like-minded and can work hard for the same goal, it is my Guan Mou worthy of making friends with his life, Guan Mou doesn't believe you, can he still push a cup with you? I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to drink with Guan. ”

"Uh......" Chen Zhen smiled dumbly, and said: "The general is right, now, you are a great general, if you don't nod and agree, without your approval, Chen really wants to see General Guan, and it will be difficult for you." Well, if General Mengguan can afford it, in the future, Chen will definitely regard the general as a confidant, and if there is any difficulty, he can find Chen at any time, and he will go to the soup and go to the fire, at any cost. ”

"Ha Luha, it's rare to have a confidant in life, come, have a toast to filial piety!"

"!"

The two of them were drunk to the fullest, and they were a little unsatisfied.

Before it was over, Chen Zhen blinked and said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, the most difficult thing for you right now should be if you leave Xu Capital with your sister-in-law safely, right?" Hehe, your chance is probably coming soon. Let me tell you the truth, Yuan Shao is determined to attack Cao Cao this time, and he is preparing to cross the river to attack recently, and in a few days, there will be a big battle in Guandu, and at that time, Cao Cao will definitely go to Guandu to take command. At that time, it was your chance to grow the clouds. ”

"Oh? Is this true? Yuan Shao will attack Cao Cao soon? ”

"In less than three or five days, you will see the results." (To be continued......)
