Although the three reasons for the death of Wu Qi, Shang Ying, and other reformers who died by law are not yet in place, we should admit that we have already thought deeply -- if you want to change to an ordinary scholar, you will definitely say in a vague way, "Because the law is strict." Yeshun also determined that his education of his son was basically successful, and he could be entrusted with big things, so he called him over today to explain it well, and then handed him the key to Guan Jing's old residence.

With this set of keys in his hand, he walked to the side courtyard in a daze, and even his steps became a little stiff. When he was a child, he admired his father very much, and he was a poor man and the son of heaven in Weimo, who went on the horse to manage the army, dismounted to manage the people, and also rushed among the princes, and achieved the way of scripture and learning, until he became famous all over the world and became an important minister of the court - is there another person in the world who can compare? Xun's uncle and nephew are powerful, can they write poetry? Can you argue with your tongue? Zhu Cao and Xiahou are also powerful, can they set the system and set the yin and yang? I believe that even if the family is not related to the Cao family, my father's achievements will not be much lower than now.

When he grew up and entered the rebellious period of youth, he gradually changed his gaze from looking up to his father to looking down at him, and even looked down in some specific aspects. Although my father is extremely capable, it is a pity that his heart is too soft and his desire for power is not enough, but do you think that as long as you are kind to others and do not get involved in the dispute between the princes, you can stay rich for a long time? Besides, even if you can keep your wealth, what should I do? Have you thought about my family and my son? Zhou Gong Fuzheng, you still know how to go to Ludi to seal a bird, what can you leave for me?

What are the benefits for children? Confucius is the master of all ages, what kind of light did Boyu stain his father? Thousands of family wealth. If it is politically untenable. Sooner or later, someone will take it away. That's why he wanted Princess Shang. You can earn a wealth through the most convenient way, and more importantly, you can get out safely.

-- The key is that Xun Pingsu told his son too many "fables", and he did not have the mentality of the second generation of ordinary officials and the rich second generation who gnawed at their father until death and did not think about the future.

But today's words are really shocked-it turns out that my father is playing such a big game of chess...... Whether it is for the country or for the family, he has considered how many generations later, the course of history seems to be in his hands, and analyzes it in an orderly manner. As clear as day. In terms of specific implementation, Dad may still have something that he can't be satisfied with, but the depth of his scheming and thinking are enough to be a leader, and I really can't catch up with it......

And it seems that even today may not be able to catch up......

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be shocked, and quickly looked left and right, worried about whether someone was peeping, and guessed my mind. Look up again. had already come to the door of the small courtyard where Guan Jing used to live, so he unlocked the door. Leaned in, thought about it, and closed the latch again.

Guan Shiqi's residence is very simple, with four rooms, two of which are stacked with miscellaneous items, one is a bedroom and one is a study. In the study, there was a case and a table, two bookshelves full of books and brochures, and three large cabinets, all of which were locked. And there is a note pasted on one of the large cabinets, on which is written a line of small words: "If the lord listens to me, he will be blameless." ”

I found the key and opened the cabinet door, which was densely packed with papers. I took out a few of them casually, and took a closer look at them through the sunlight outside the window, and I couldn't help but be shocked.

I relied on my dad to make me shoulder the burden, and it turned out to be for this!

He stayed in the house until dinner, then came out, and closed the door and locked it. He went to see Shixun, and said that his son should move in - I would say hello to the princess, and say that it was her wish, to live in the city, and I believe that the old lady could not be stopped. You don't have to build a house for me, just open up the side courtyard where Guan Shiqi lives and the courtyard next to it, and leave it for me to use.

Shi Xun said: "How can a princess live in such a narrow place? "You don't have to worry, I will take advantage of the expansion of the mansion, buy the lot next to the street, and connect it with Guan Jing's former residence-" If the princess wants to live, who dares to scratch it? ”

It's a big construction project for the family, so let's not mention it for the time being. A few days later, the Western Regions delegation arrived in Luoyang, led by Guo Man, a staff officer of Lu Bu and the patriarch of the Guo family in Xizhou, and the members of the delegation included envoys from a total of 12 countries in the northeast of the Western Regions, such as Cheshi, Yanqi, Qiuzi, Pu, Yizhi, and Weixu.

Lü Bu had recently conquered Yanqi and Qiuci and recovered its Qiancheng, and originally planned to leave the new Western Regions Protector Wei Xu and return to Gaochang himself, but because of Jiang Gan's persuasion, he built a new city in Wulei between Yanqi and Qiuci to replace Gaochang to rule the Western Regions. Wulei is the name of the ancient country of the Western Regions, although the population is not rich, but just as the Silk Road is rushing, the geographical location is very important, and the Western Regions of the Western Han Dynasty was built in Wulei.

Because with the westward expansion of Liangguo's power, the situation was overwhelming, and finally aroused the vigilance of neighboring countries. To the west of Qiuzi is the small country of Gumo, Wensu, in the last ten years attached to Wusun, heard that Qiuzi was broken by the cold, afraid of being attacked, hurriedly asked Wusun for help. Wusun is a superpower that controls the northern province of the Western Regions, and its territory is connected to the Cheshi Division in the east, the Tianshan Mountains in the south, the Balkhash Lake in the north in the future, and the Kangju in the west, with tens of thousands of armor. Its country is in the south-central part of the city of Chigu, that is, the later Kyrgyzstan's Ishtik, the Silk Road through Qiuzi, Gumo, Wensu after turning to the northwest, gradually leaving the flat land at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and entering the plateau area, the first stop after entering the plateau is Chigu.

Therefore, when Wusun heard the alarm, he not only sent troops to control the mountain pass and check the exchanges, which affected the smooth flow of the Silk Road to a certain extent, but also reinforced Wensu and Gumo, which posed a threat to the protection of the western regions of Qiancheng. Jiang Gan therefore persuaded Lu Bu that he was undefeated Wusun, and Qiuzi would not be at peace in the end, at this critical juncture, where would you dare to return to Gaochang, or stay between Qiuci and Yanqi, and give Wei Duhu as a backing.

So Lü Bu built the city of Wuli, wanting to fight Wusun for a relatively long time. Immediately, he sent Guo Man to Luoyang with the envoys of all the countries under his jurisdiction, and called the ministers to pay tribute - in order to show off his exploits, not only the big countries such as Cheshi and Yanqi, or the small countries such as Weisu and Pu, but also the countries that had been destroyed, such as the Yizhi and other countries, also searched for their remnants, gave them the title of Hou, and ordered the envoys to be sent, so that the envoys of the twelve countries could be sent in one go.

The envoys first went to the Ministry of Rites to perform a salute, waited for a grand state ceremony, met the Son of Heaven in front of hundreds of officials, and contributed gifts to show the authority of the Wei Dynasty to the whole world. Shi Xun couldn't help but think that my disciple Qin Yuanming had also gone to the Japanese land under the escort of Wei Yandonghai's sea master, and I don't know how long it would take to bring back the Japanese envoys? And how many envoys of the "country" can be brought back in one go? If it can exceed the number of Lu Bu's advances, it will be too long-faced......

Guo Man was over fifty years old, so he also raised filial piety in the Han Dynasty, and he had some connections in the court. He handed over all the envoys to the Ministry of Rites, and he first visited the dignitaries in the capital, and the first in line was Taiwei Shixun. After the greetings, Shi Xun didn't go around in circles, and asked him directly: "Duke Liang sent envoys from the twelve countries, and there must be people who want the court." "Lü Fengxian was called a vassal minister, but in fact, he was an independent force, and the envoys of the foreign vassal who sent tribute could give Cao Wei a long face, but it didn't necessarily do him any good - so why did he do this? Do you want to ask the court for something?

Guo Mannai said that Lu Bu talked nonsense to Wei Zhizhi for a long time, and finally pointed to the topic: "My lord wants to invite Wang Ye." ”

In fact, since Lu Bu recaptured its Qiancheng and was complacent, he had openly proclaimed himself the "King of Liang" in the Western Regions. It's just that this King Liang is a little bit of a misnomer, and his words are not good, Lu Bu is a good-looking person, hoping to get the official canonization of the Central Plains Dynasty, so Jiang Gan gave this idea: You order all countries to pay tribute, give Cao Cao a long face first, maybe he is willing to seal you as soon as he is happy.

Jiang Gan had already reported this matter to Shixun through a secret letter, and Shixun didn't know what he was doing today, so he had to wait for Guo Man to bring it up himself. Immediately agreed to ease his cheeks, and waited for two days, it is estimated that Guo Man has lobbied many important ministers, and then went to the palace gate to ask Cao Cao.

Cao Cao asked first, Hongfu, what do you think of this problem? Can you crown Lu Bu as king? It is Xun Dao: "Even if it is not sealed, the cloth is also in the Western Regions." Seal it, to Anxi. ”

Cao Cao said, in the new title system formulated by Hongfu, there is no rule for a different surname to be crowned a king, Lu Bu, a prince with a different surname, is a historical problem, and now he wants to be crowned a king, but what? When the Southwest Hao Chieftain asked for a secular position, you said that you could acquiesce in their autonomy, but you couldn't set a precedent in the system.

Shi Xun smiled: "Inherently different. "Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent a general to collect the Nanzhong region, even if it is China itself, the territory will never be able to split the soil and divide it; The Western Regions have always belonged to the Chinese foreign domain, and even if it is given to Lu Bu, there is nothing wrong with it. Cao Cao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and said that you are the main one to restrain Lu Bu, even if he goes west, but if he obtains the entire Western Regions, after the army is strong, will it pose a threat to my Great Wei?

As long as we can sweep away Liu Bei's forces as soon as possible, complete the great cause of reunification, and then cast a sword into a plowshare, and live together with peace of mind, then although the Western Regions are vast and the household registration is not rich, there is no one who dares to be hostile to China after all. And at that time, as long as the checkpoint is closed and the Silk Road is cut off, the Western Regions will be in turmoil by itself, and with Lu Bu's ability, I am afraid it will be difficult to calm down.

Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, as if thoughtful. Cao Cao asked you what you were thinking, and Shi Xun said, "When did Si Lu Bu die?" "Lu Bu's age is not young, I don't know when the year will end, and I will die a whimper-" Bu has no real son, and accepts his subordinates as a ......" There are rumors that in fact, those are Lu Bu's illegitimate children, and I don't know if it's true or not? - "If he dies, all the sons will fight, and China will send a brigade to recover the Western Regions." ”

Cao Cao said that Lu Bu was three years younger than me, and now he should be sixty-one, so he is probably walking with me...... When Shi Xun heard this, he hurriedly gave his hand to consolation: "Your Majesty is in good health, so you can say this?" Cao Cao waved his hand: "No one dies, so why bother to say it." Then he sighed softly, and said that you just think about how the sons will break up after Lu Bu's death, and you don't want to think about it for me—my sons are also a big trouble!

Shi Xun didn't seem to answer Cao Cao's words, but actually took the opportunity to wake up: "Since Lu Bu has been invited, how can Your Majesty be easy with him?" "You can exchange terms with him...... (To be continued......)
