Chapter 523: The Quartet Comes to the Dynasty
"If the subordinates go to please, there is only 30% certainty at most, if the lord goes to invite, there is 60% certainty, and if the lord brings his subordinates to invite together, there is 80% certainty!" Xu Shu hugged his fists. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yuan Yao thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, this matter is settled, and when we finish dealing with the diplomatic affairs with Liu Biao and Yuan Shao, you and I will set off to invite Mr. Shuijing!" ”
"Yes!" Xu Shu said.
Next, Yuan Yao talked with Xu Shu about the establishment of a women's college and the unified training of the children of senior generals in the army in the future.
After returning to Taolin Mansion
Yuan Yao was hesitating, not knowing whether to tell the good news of the women's college first, whether it was better to tell Cao Yanran or Cai Wenji first.
At this moment, there happened to be an intermittent pleasant sound coming.
"This must be Cai Wenji blowing Xiao! But why do you always blow a few times and then stop? ......, I'll have to go check it out! Yuan Yao quickened his pace, thinking back to the beautiful music that often accompanied him to sleep when he was in Dongyuan City!
As he got closer, Xiao Sheng's voice became clearer, and in a pavilion in the backyard, Yuan Yao saw several maids sitting around from a distance, smiling from time to time.
Cai Wenji held Xiao in her hand, played a few times from time to time, and stopped from time to time to explain to a few maids.
Although he couldn't hear what he was talking about, from the expressions and movements of several people, Yuan Yao already knew the answer: Concubine Cai Wenji is teaching the maids to blow Xiao!
"Master!"
"Master!!"
When the maids saw Yuan Yao coming, they quickly stopped their movements, all stood up, greeted Yuan Yao, and shouted respectfully.
"General!" Cai Wenji also greeted him, gave a salute, and stood aside with a faint smile on her face.
"Huh! Not bad! Not bad!! Wen Ji, I came here to tell you one thing, the matter of the women's college has been decided, and I will send craftsmen over tomorrow, and then you will have to go with Shang Xiang, and some of the arrangements over there will be decided by the two of you! Yuan Yao said with a smile.
Cai Wenji gave another salute to express her gratitude, and then said, "General! The concubine wants to ask something! Is the women's college open only to designated families? ”
"Yes! Wen Ji, is there anything wrong with this? Yuan Yao said.
"No, it's just that Wen Ji has suffered with the civilians at the bottom, and she can understand their pity, but I just hope that if possible, the women's college can take care of these civilians at the bottom!" Cai Wenji said, her eyes were red, and she seemed to be a little sad.
Yuan Yao was silent for a moment, looked at Cai Wenji's appearance, a little unbearable, sighed, and finally said: "Wenji, you have also been in Pingyu City for a day or two, you should also understand our current difficulties, Pingyu City, the population has reached more than 100,000, plus the population of Beicheng and Dongcheng, there are hundreds of thousands!" With our financial resources, we are far from enough to get all the right women to study in women's colleges! ”
"Moreover, the establishment of a women's college is not supported by everyone, and many people do not want to waste time for a daughter who will marry in the future! We are not only facing financial difficulties, but also pressure from all sides! Yuan Yao paused, looked at Cai Wenji and said again.
"General, you can answer like this, the concubine is already very happy, and the concubine's worship of the general is also more respectful!" Cai Wenji smiled, and the look in her eyes at Yuan Yao made Yuan Yao feel like her heart was beating.
"Wen Ji! Since it's okay, I'll go first! After Yuan Yao finished speaking, without waiting for Wen Ji to reply, he turned around and walked towards Sun Shangxiang's room.
Behind him, Cai Wenji only felt that her face was hot, and she hurriedly picked up Xiao and said loudly: "Sisters, let's practice the fingering of blowing Xiao again!" ”
The maids sat around Cai Wenji again, and after a while, laughter began again.
What no one noticed was that from time to time, Cai Wenji, who taught fingering, would look at the direction in which Yuan Yao had disappeared.
Yuan Yao's explanation of Cai Wenji is actually not complete, the reason why he opened a women's college is not only to cultivate the next generation of elites who are loyal to him, but also to use these good benefits to gather important generals, increase their sense of belonging, and let these generals who follow him to fight the world understand one thing, and it is in everyone's interests to support him as the master.
Now, Yuan Yao, who has become a prime minister and a general, can be said to be in the hands of the military and politics, as long as the stable development continues, everything is not a problem!!
But the premise of all this is that the people who are now following Yuan Yao's side will never betray him!!
And to maintain this loyal relationship, it is not only by coercion, not only by the military power in his hands, not only by his own reputation, but also by making all those who follow him willing to die for him!!
And the core point of this is profit!
In the second year of Xingping, on August 21 of autumn
Yuan Shao sent an envoy to send 500 good horses and about 5 billion yuan in money, expressing his loyalty to the imperial court and asking for the position of the right general.
Xu Shu suggested that a decision should be made after looking at the attitudes of Shi Gaogan, Youzhou Mugong Sun Zhan, Liangzhou Assassin Shi Weiduan, and Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Du.
Yuan Yao agreed with Xu Shu's suggestion.
Although Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, he had not been officially recognized by the imperial court! In name, the imperial court named Gongsun Zan as the former general, Youzhou Mu, and the governor of Youzhou, And, Liang, Hebei, Yan, and Qing, so that the two became mortal enemies, which was the strategy of Li Dao and others.
Now that Yuan Yao is in power, of course he doesn't want to upset this balance.
Gao Gan's history of merging the state is also controversial, and it was Yuan Shao who appointed it himself.
And what Yuan Yao wants is that Liu Qubei can develop in Bingzhou, and directly appointing Liu Qubei as the assassin of Bingzhou will not only cause a war between the two sides, but also make Yuan Yao slandered, and Liu Qubei's identity and qualifications are not suitable, which Yuan understood when he was appointed as the Taishou of Hedong.
Twenty-two
Liu Biao sent an envoy to send money and food to show his goodwill, Yuan Yao asked Liu Biao to come to negotiate in person, and Liu Biao's envoy returned.
Twenty-three days
Liangzhou Thorn Shi Weiduan only sent a small number of horses, and said that because of the war in Liangzhou for many years, the people were poor, and asked the imperial court to reduce part of the tax.
Taiwei Yang Biao said to Yuan Yaojin according to this: "It is better to use Zhong Xuan, a native of Yingchuan, to govern Liangzhou as Wei Duan!" ”
Yuan Yao disagreed, the reason was very simple, there were three reasons, but Yuan Yao did not say these three reasons, but refused on the grounds that the situation was just stable and not suitable for major changes.
First, the Zhong family is one of the four major families in Yingchuan, Zhong Xuan is still an official in the court, if he is ordered to defend one side again, the Zhong family will grow rapidly, which will have an adverse impact on Yuan Yao's later rule in the future, this kind of family that has not sworn allegiance, how can Yuan Yao make them strong?
Second, when attacking Yingchuan, the Zhong family had secretly helped the Xun family, if it weren't for the Zhong family's too great influence, Yuan Yao would have already wiped out the Zhong family.
Third, according to historical facts, Zhong Xuan's unborn son Zhong Hui will rebel in the future, which Yuan Yao remembers very clearly, after Zhong Hui and Deng Ai broke through the Shu Kingdom, when the Zhong family has a very large foundation in Guanzhong and Xiliang, if the Shu Kingdom that has just been captured is the foundation, then the western half of the entire Three Kingdoms territory will all belong to the Zhong family, and it is not impossible to win the throne.
