Chapter 362: The Young Master (II)
Xu Ji looked at Liu Xie, who was thinking about it, and further induced: "Shengshang, your dissatisfaction with Shi A stems from the Chang'an Rebellion, but why doesn't Shengshang want to think about the critical situation at that time?" ”
Hearing this, Liu Xie avoided Xu Ji's eyes and said softly: "When Chang'an was in turmoil, the widows were terrified, how did they know what happened?" Until now, the widow didn't know much about many things, so ......"
Xu Ji shook his head and sighed: "Shengshang, I know that you want to go to Youzhou, because Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, is a loyal courtier of the Han Dynasty, and he is sure of it, but does the Shengshang know?" When the situation in Youzhou was very crisis, when Gongsun Chan and Lord Liu Yu fought a lot, Lord Liu Yu's troops were several times and Gongsun Chan, but he suffered repeated defeats, although from the situation at the time, Lord Liu Yu still had an advantage, but Gongsun Chan was constantly recovering the defeat, in this case, Lord Liu Yu was defeated and died, it was probably a matter of time before Lord Liu Yu died, if the saint really went to Youzhou, wouldn't it be 'only to get out of the tiger's den and enter the wolf's den'? ”
Liu Xie obviously had a certain understanding of the affairs of Youzhou, a false smile appeared on his face, and he said to Xu Ji: "Aiqing, as far as I know, Liu Yu is also doing this to give Aiqing an explanation, after all, Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shuchu are allies, and at that time, Yanzhou was at war with Yuan Benchu, didn't Gongsun Chan make an appointment with Yuan Benchu to attack the Yanzhou army?" ”
Xu Ji's eyes immediately flashed Liu He's face, knowing that Liu Xie's affairs about Youzhou were all told by this person, so it can be seen that Liu Xie's vigilance and prejudice against himself are definitely related to this Liu He, maybe there are Liu Bei's factors. Thinking of this, Xu Ji smiled and said, "What the Holy Lord said is extremely true. However, the reason was missed. ”
After a pause, Xu Ji said: "The reason why Lord Liu Yu wants to give me an explanation to Yanzhou is that he doesn't want my Yanzhou troops to enter the land of Youzhou. In any case, Gongsun Chan is a subordinate of Lord Liu Yu. Lord Liu Yu thought that it was not difficult to restrain Gongsun Zhan. Who knew that Gongsun Chan was unruly. It will be the later war that will happen. Of course, Liu Xie had also heard about this, so he nodded.
Xu Ji hit the railway while it was hot: "Actually, the saint, the subordinates think that Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan have been in conflict for a long time, and the affairs of the subordinates are just a fuse, I don't know if the saint knows the frontier problem of Youzhou, Lord Liu Yu is the main peace faction, and Gongsun Chan is the main battle faction." Lord Liu Yu was even ready to sacrifice Gongsun Zhan's life in order to stabilize the border pass, so it can be seen that even if there is no Yanzhou matter, the two will start. Liu Xie was stunned when he heard this. Obviously, it was the first time he had heard about it, and he was still young after all. And his eyes have always been focused on the power struggle in the court, and he doesn't care about foreign affairs. Of course, I didn't know that there was such a grudge between Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu. Moreover, when Liu He talked about the reason for the grievances between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan that day, he only understated it, and it was completely from Liu Yu's point of view.
In addition, Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shaonai were allies, and neither of them recognized Liu Xiedi's status. So all the time. Liu Xie always thought that Gongsun Chan was a wolf with ambitions.
Xu Ji looked at Liu Xie's expression and said with a smile: "Shengshang, think about it again, why didn't Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu, the envoy of Lord Liu Yu, come at the same time when the Luoyang Fire Princes met for the alliance?" To put it bluntly, Gongsun Chan is expressing his dissatisfaction with Lord Liu Yu. This sentence completely touched Liu Xie and made Liu Xie understand that there were many things he didn't understand. So he nodded and said: "What Aiqing said is extremely true, the widow does not leave the house. There are a lot of things that are unknown, and from this point of view, Aiqing is just an excuse for the two of them to go to war. ”
Xu Ji said solemnly: "Holy Mingjian! But he was snickering in his heart: he was indeed an excuse for the two to go to war. But didn't he take advantage of the situation in the first place? It's just that Liu Xie will never think of this real reason, after all, if he can use this matter, it will be an unpredictable prophet.
Where did he think that Xu Ji could really predict the future? 's impression of Xu Ji has changed greatly.
Xu Ji looked at Liu Xie's face and said solemnly: "Holy Lord." If you are in Youzhou. In case Liu Yu is defeated, you fall into the hands of Gongsun Zhan. Have you ever wondered what that would be? Liu Xie's face changed slightly, for a long time. Only then did he sigh and said, "I didn't expect the form of Youzhou to be so dangerous, by the way, how is Liu Yu doing now." ”
Xu Ji knew that Liu Xie's news was extremely closed now, so he didn't know about Liu Yu's defeat and death, but this matter couldn't be hidden, and sadness appeared on his face: "Holy Lord, Lord Liu Yu has been beheaded by Gongsun Zhan. ”
When Liu Xie heard this, he stood for a while, but the whole person seemed to be overwhelmed by something, and his already short body became even more rickety.
Xu Ji knew that Liu Yu was probably Liu Xie's last hope to regain his power, and once Liu Yu died, it would be difficult for the power of the Han Dynasty to return to Liu Xie's hands.
Liu Yu has no ambition, of course Liu Xie trusts him, if someone else dies, how can Liu Xie be so lonely? After a long time, Liu Xiecai said: "So, what about Gongsun Zhan?" ”
Xu Ji said: "Your Majesty has avenged Lord Liu Yu. ”
Liu Xie nodded, and asked again, "What about Liu He?" ”
Xu Ji told Liu Xie all about Youzhou, and when he heard that Liu He invited those alien races on the grassland to help him avenge his further education, his face changed, and he obviously thought about what would happen if he had escaped with Liu He. Xu Ji looked at Liu Xie, he sighed and said: "Liu He Gongzi is powerless to restrain those grassland peoples, and now the Xianbei people are invading on a large scale, not to mention giving Liu He Gongzi a little face. It would be better if it fell into the hands of Gongsun Zhan, but if it fell into the hands of those foreigners, the consequences would be unimaginable. The reason why Shi Ah stopped the Holy Lord's actions at that time was because he had already received information from me, and he knew that the Holy One had stepped into danger without knowing it. ”
Liu Xie was silent for a long time and said, "Then why didn't he say it?" Xu Ji smiled bitterly and said: "Holy Lord, please forgive Your Majesty for being presumptuous, it was Shi Ah who made his intentions clear that day, will the Holy One believe him?" ”
Liu Xie stopped talking, but he knew in his heart that he would probably not listen to Shi A's opinion.
Xu Ji sighed and said, "So Shi Ah is willing to bear the infamy of betraying the master." We must also protect the Holy One every step of the way, this loyalty. The sun and the moon can be seen. Liu Xie's eyes flashed with gratitude, and it could be seen that he no longer hated Shi A. There is even more of a sense of gratitude. If it weren't for Shi A and Xu Ji, he would really fall into the hands of foreigners.
When Luoyang was in turmoil. And the foreigners took advantage of the fire to rob. Wreak havoc in Sizhou. Liu Xie naturally knew about this matter.
Xu Ji knows better, after all, he comes from the later generations, and Yu Fuluo, who is now under his command, was one of the people who ravaged Sizhou back then, although because of the changes in history, Yu Fuluo was not as arrogant as in history, and he did not have the opportunity to snatch Cai Yan into his hands, but Yu Fuluo did the tail and hit the ranks of ordinary people who were forced to go west into Chang'an. It is impossible for Liu Xie not to know about this matter. People of different races in the grassland do not talk about etiquette with the Han people, if they catch the Son of Heaven of the Han world. I don't know what they're going to do.
Of course, Liu Xie knew that what Xu Ji said was not a lie, so he nodded with palpitations. looked at Xu Ji. For the first time, he said sincerely: "The widow is young and ignorant, this time he was able to escape the Youzhou chaos, and the widow was able to return to Chang'an safely, all of which depended on the Qing family." ”
Xu Ji was overjoyed in his heart, it seemed that Liu Xie had accepted his fate, knowing that he had no choice but to rely on Xu Ji. But think about Chang'an and Yizhou. Looking at Liu Xie's mention of Chang'an's joyful appearance, Xu Ji immediately understood that Liu Xie thought that he had another trump card, and thought that Wang Yun would fully support him against him. I couldn't help but be awe-struck in my heart, and secretly shouted that it was dangerous: although Liu Xie's impression of himself had changed greatly, he was still very protective of himself. It seems that it is necessary for Liu Xie to figure out Wang Yun's character, otherwise this Liu Xie will cause trouble for himself. So Xu Ji said to Liu Xie worriedly: "Holy Lord." In fact, His Majesty didn't want the Holy Lord to return to Chang'an so early. So he told Liu Xie about the current situation in Chang'an. The latter's face kept changing. Liu Xie definitely didn't expect that the competition between the major forces in Chang'an City had been so fierce. Xu Ji knew that this was a good time to incite Liu Xie to kill the various forces in Chang'an and Yizhou, after all, he coerced the Son of Heaven to make the princes overkill other princes and emperors to willingly agree to do so, which would have a completely different effect.
In a short period of time, he will definitely not be saddled with the infamy of Cao Cao in history as a bully. Thinking of this, Xu Ji said to Liu Xie: "Holy Lord." The reason why His Majesty is in a hurry to ask the Holy Lord to return to Chang'an to preside over the overall situation is because Chang'an is very disagreeable now. If nothing else, let's take the matter of Youzhou as an example. Lord Liu Yu died, Gongsun Chan had already taken revenge, but Gongsun Chan also killed Lord Liu Yu's family cleanly, if it weren't for Liu Hegongzi returning to Youzhou one step late, I am afraid that now he is already a ghost under Gongsun Chan's knife, but Lord Wang Yun faced Gongsun Chan's killing behavior, not only did not reprimand and blame, but sent a eunuch to commend Gongsun Zhan. Of course, Xu Ji did this so that Liu Xie could support himself to deal with Wang Yun, after all, Wang Yun has always appeared as loyal to Liu Xie, and he returned to Chang'an this time in order to cooperate with Jia Xu and eliminate the dissident forces in Chang'an City, but now several forces in Chang'an City are extremely strong, even if they solve it by force, it is very difficult, not to mention that they are now simply lacking in troops, and all the troops are fighting outside, although there are five thousand shadows under his command, but it is used to save his life, It is possible to control Chang'an in a short period of time with 5,000 people, but if you want to defend Chang'an, it is simply a fool's dream. Of course, he still has Jia Xu's trump card, but the problem is that Jia Xu is now holding two positions, not only to deal with Liu Bei in Hanzhong, but also to pay attention to Xiliang's movements.
Therefore, after returning to Chang'an, if Liu Xie can stand on his side, then other forces will not be a problem, at least he will not collude with other forces. Make yourself very passive. Then now we have to let Liu Xie know that Wang Yun, Yang Biao and Lu Bu are completely unreliable.
Of course, Liu Xie attaches great importance to Wang Yun in his heart, and really hopes that he will use Wang Yun to contain Xu Ji after returning to Chang'an, in his mind, except for Liu Yu, probably this Wang Yun is the only person who can be trusted, right? But after listening to Xu Ji's words, Liu Xie realized that Wang Yun was also an ambitious person like everyone else. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said to Xu Ji: "Aiqing, do you know the name of that eunuch?" Xu Ji knew that it was a critical juncture, and Liu Xie was verifying whether what he said was true. But fortunately, he already knew the whole thing from Yan Gang's mouth. Therefore, he said solemnly: "I heard that this eunuch's name is Duan Xun. ”
Liu Xie had obviously heard of the name of this eunuch, and said coldly: "Wang Yun." Hello! ”
Xu Ji said in a deep voice: "Holy Lord, it's not your subordinates who are playing right and wrong. The saint must still remember the time of the Chang'an Rebellion. Liu Bei's three brothers were just about to take the saint away, but at that time, Xiliang Ma Teng suddenly appeared, and the saint should know who Ma Teng was. Of course Liu Xie knew, nodded and said, "The Ma family and the Yang family are good families. ”
Xu Ji sneered: "But Taiwei Yang Biao was cooperating with Wang Yun at that time. Wang Yun planned such a big thing, and the saint didn't know about it at all. That's not taking the Holy One into account. After the disappearance of the saint, Wang Yun temporarily represented the affairs of the imperial court, but Wang Yun forgot his identity. gave orders at will, and even secretly colluded with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and sent killers to hunt down and kill his subordinates. also went to Yingyin to kidnap his subordinates' mothers, aren't these things all Wang Yun's handiwork? After a pause, Xu Ji said again: "Yang Biao is also the temporary auxiliary minister of the imperial court, but Wang Yun can arrest him if he wants." There is no reason at all, if he is allowed to do whatever he wants, I am afraid that the Han will decline day by day, and in the long run, I am afraid that the country will not be a country. ”
Liu Xie nodded and sighed, "So to speak." Liu Yuqing's family is really much more reliable than Wang Yun. It seems that only the people of my Liu clan can be relied on. Xu Ji snorted coldly: "The saint's heart is too good, does the saint still remember?" When we came out of Chang'an that day. Who stopped us first? ”
Liu Xie's face changed again when he heard this, which was already not good.
Xu Ji said solemnly: "Yes, it is Zhang Ren, the subordinate of Liu Yan, the assassin of Yizhou!" Liu Xie gritted his teeth with hatred and said: "This Liu Yan is still an elder of the widow, two generations higher than the widow." Several of his sons were officials in the court, and the widows took care of them, but they didn't expect to get revenge! What a wolf-hearted dog-lung. ”
Xu Ji said softly: "The Holy Lord should have heard of it too. The reason why Liu Yan went to Yizhou to be a assassin is nothing more than because of the sentence 'Yizhou has the spirit of the son of heaven'. ”
Liu Xieqi snorted coldly. Don't speak. Xu Ji wanted to add a fire, saying that this was: the reason for "Guangwu's death". As long as Liu Xie dies, Liu Yan can justifiably be the emperor. But in the end, I couldn't help it, it was definitely not good for me to say this kind of thing, it would be tantamount to telling Liu Xie that he was taking advantage of this matter at that time.
Anyway, Liu Xie also knew about Guangwu's death, and he just wanted to provoke it a little, thinking of this, Xu Ji pretended not to understand and said: "I really don't understand, what is the benefit of Liu Yan doing this?" Is there any way he can justify his act of becoming emperor? When Liu Xie heard this, his body trembled slightly, obviously thinking of the matter of "Guangwu's death".
Xu Ji snickered in his heart, and said: "Speaking of this matter, I think that Liu Bei will not be able to escape responsibility, if it weren't for Liu Bei's reason, how could Zhang Ren know so quickly that we escaped there?" This is Xu Ji wronging Liu Bei, although I don't know if Liu Bei wants Liu Xie to die, but at least at that time, Liu Bei could not have this idea, Liu Bei's rescue of Liu Xie is likely to be detected by Zhang Ren, the reason why he showed his feet in front of Zhang Ren is completely because he is defenseless against Zhang Ren, after all, Zhang Ren is Liu Yandi's subordinates, all of them are relatives of the emperor, and Liu Yan's reputation is very high, and Zhang Rentao is almost close, so of course it is for his own future. Liu Bei is a smart person, but he is afraid that he has already seen that Liu Yu is no longer reliable, so he will find another way.
Yizhou is an excellent way out.
Where does Liu Xie know the mystery of this? Of course, he would choose to believe Xu Ji when he listened to it, and said hatefully: "Liu Bei, this villain, I still recognize him as the emperor's uncle in vain, by the way, where is he now?" Xu Ji was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that Liu Xie would never stand on Liu Bei's side.
You must know that Liu Bei in history drifted for half of his life, and it was not until Liu Xie gave him the identity of the imperial uncle that he gradually became popular, although he is now helpless to take Liu Bei's identity as the imperial uncle, but once Liu Xie has a bad feeling towards Liu Bei, it will definitely be a big blow to Liu Bei. Especially now that Liu Bei has not been established in Yizhou for a long time. Hearing Liu Xie's question, Xu Ji hurriedly said: "Shengshang, Liu Bei has returned to Yizhou with Zhang Ren, and is now fighting against Zhang Xiu's army in the Hanzhong area." ”
This sentence completely moved Liu Xie, the last emperor of the Han Dynasty said hatefully: "Sure enough, it is a nest of snakes and rats, and they are all in cahoots." ”
Turning his head to look at Xu Ji, he said sincerely: "Aiqing, in the future, you will definitely catch these rebellious ministers and thieves for the widow!" Xu Ji nodded solemnly, but knew that he had completely mastered Liu Xie in a short period of time.
When he gets Chang'an and Yizhou in the future, if Liu Xie believes in himself or not, there is no need to care. And at that time, Xu Ji will also have other ways to restrain this uneasy last Han emperor.
Xu Ji looked at the sky outside the window and let out a long sigh of relief.
The world, I'm here! (To be continued......)
