Although he was very uncomfortable in his heart, after listening to the analysis of his uncle Liu Bei, Emperor Liu Bian still resisted the urge to scold with a calm face, and sat on the dragon chair for a long time, without saying a word, his eyes were a little hollow.

"That's it, that's it...... After all, it is my brother, and it is better to divide Liangzhou to him than to be stolen by someone with a heart. Huangmen Shilang, preparing to draft an edict to establish Liu Qian as the king of Liang, and the imperial servant and Zongzheng's second mansion will prepare the national seal, seal letter, and royal service......" Liu Bian commanded with some interest.

Da Hong Luqing stepped forward to ask the emperor: "I don't know who my emperor appointed as the canonized envoy to Liangzhou this time?"

Liu Bian looked at the people kneeling left and right under the court, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Last time, Wang Situ went north to merge with the state on behalf of me, and fought for a lot of interests for the imperial court, which can be described as diligent and loyal, this time it is better for him to go to Liangzhou on behalf of me!" After Liu Bian finished speaking, he waved his hand to Huang Menlang, today's court meeting ended here, and then he left the court without looking back, leaving only the ministers who were still at a loss.

The emperor, who returned to the North Palace, showed a fierce expression of wanting to eat people, and smashed everything that could be picked up and thrown everywhere along the way.

"Kill! Kill all these traitors and thieves, and return the peace of my Han territory!" There were bursts of hysterical scolding from the palace.

I saw that Liu Bian was holding a sword in his hand and slashing in the void, and at his feet were kneeling a few eunuchs and palace maids who didn't even dare to come out, as long as they were a little lower, they might cut down on the heads of their subordinates.

After the emperor's anger gradually subsided, the eunuch who gave the order at the door shouted into the house: "Your Majesty, Liu Bei, the court captain, asks to see you outside the palace." ”

After Liu Bian heard this, he drank back from the eunuch palace maid in the house and let Liu Bei enter the palace to speak.

After the salute between the monarchs and ministers, Liu Bei said in a soothing tone: "Is the emperor indignant and secretly annoyed in the palace?"

was guessed by Liu Bei, Liu Wei did not hide it, and said with some anger: "Uncle Huang, I am sitting on the throne really in a nest, seeing that the great rivers and mountains are about to be carved up, but I am powerless to stop it, I am afraid that I will have no face to see the ancestors and ancestors in the future!"

Liu Bei showed a look of understanding, and said with some sighs: "Weichen was promoted by his mentor Lu Zhi, and since he entered the palace, he did not dare to relax and slack off in the slightest. ”

Liu Bi listened to Liu Bei's recollection of the past, and his heart was also full of emotion, and then said: "Back then, fortunately, Taiwei Lu and Uncle Huang and others defended and supported me, so that some conspiracy in the court to instigate my father to depose the crown prince was not achieved. ”

Liu Bei nodded, and then said: "Your Majesty can have today's achievements, you need to know that there is a sample line that has played a vital role. ”

Liu was puzzled and looked at Liu Bei with an inquiring gaze.

Liu Bei said unhurriedly: "Those who can endure everything will become a great weapon, Your Majesty has avoided many conspiracies and traps because of his patience, so the first emperor can't bear to be deposed." Now that the situation in the north is sinister, and the Han is facing unprecedented and severe challenges, His Majesty still needs to be aggrieved and patient at this critical time. The so-called forbearance is a knife on the head, for the foundation of the Han Dynasty for 400 years, we still have to focus on the overall situation and look for opportunities to reverse the situation in forbearance. ”

After listening to Liu Bei's earnest teaching, Emperor Liu Bian's heart felt a lot better, and he said to Liu Bei sincerely: "Thank you Uncle Huang for your enlightenment! In the future, the Emperor will sharpen his mind even harder, think more, and be a wise and benevolent king." ”

After appeasing the Son of Heaven, Liu Bei left the North Palace and returned to his mansion. Now he is in the position of court lieutenant, in charge of the judicial and criminal laws of the Han Dynasty, and also serves as the official Cao Shangshu, which is deeply trusted and respected by today's sons, and has faintly replaced Yuan Kui, He Jin, Lu Zhi and other former emperors and ministers, and has become the most powerful member of the central court. The most important thing is that Liu Bei's identity is transcendent, with the support of military bigwigs and friendship with the Shiren group, and he has not yet made his relatives feel threatened. Being able to mix to this point in the court of open and secret fighting is inseparable from Liu Bei's ability to forbear.

A large part of the officials that Liu Bei has hired over the years are full of ability and can take on great responsibilities. Among the military generals, there were a few brave generals who could be great generals, such as Zhang Fei, Wei Yan, Gao Lan, and others, and a few young generals, such as Fu Wei, Zhu Ling, Liu Xun, Yang Yi, Sun Guan, and others, who gradually took up important positions after several years of training and became Liu Bei's staunch supporters.

Liu Xuande, who is always gentle and polite in front of people, what does he want in his heart? This is something that many people want to figure out, including Zhao Xing. Today's situation in the world is fundamentally different from the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms in Zhao Xing's memory.

First of all, the dominance of the Han family has not been weakened because of the smooth accession of the crown prince Liu Ban and Zhao Xing's strong suppression of Dong Zhuo; on the contrary, because of the ascension of Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and other generals in the army, as well as Liu Bei's entry into the central court, the Han court that is about to die, these years the old wood has drawn new sprouts in spring, and it is rare to burst with a ray of fresh vitality.

Secondly, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was not as destructive as Zhao Xing's memory, and did not cause too much damage to the people and cultivated land. The Yellow Turban Rebellion, which originally lasted for ten years, was completely quelled in only three years because of Zhao Xing's covert guidance and overt conquest, which not only saved the lives of a large number of Han people who had lost their land and production and living materials and became displaced people, but also accelerated the pace of land repossession to the government, and further improved the utilization rate of land in areas where the Yellow Turban disaster was serious, such as Bingzhou, Youzhou and Jizhou.

Thirdly, although the great plague that lasted for many years was frightening, because of Zhao Xing's advance preparation and effective response, it was always within the control of the government. In particular, the "activated carbon" masks made by Zhao Xing and the vigorous promotion of the national anti-epidemic campaign saved the lives of millions of people in the states north of the Yellow River, and did not bring more extensive and heavy disasters to the Han Dynasty, nor did it cause a tragic situation in which the ten rooms were empty.

Because of the existence and rise of Zhao Xing, it is destined that in this time and space, the trajectory of historical progress will be completely separated from the memory of Zhao Xing's previous life. Judging from the signs, Cao Cao and Sun Jian still have a development trend of separating one side and sealing the king to dominate, and Liu Bei is now above the temple, and he may be above ten thousand people under one person in the future, so Zhao Xing can't see what Liu Bei wants in this life.

One thing is certain, though. At least Liu Bei has not thought about becoming the supreme emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan on behalf of the Han Dynasty. The reason is very simple, even Zhao Xing, who ignores the Han family to the extreme, does not dare to blatantly crown himself king in Bingzhou, and he also wants to bring out Liu Rong, the third prince of the Han family, to unite people's hearts, no matter how crazy he Liu Bei is, he does not dare to think of such a stupid thing.

Liu Bei does have ideas, his goal is to continue to endure and wait until Lu Zhi, Yuan Kui, He Jin and others withdraw from the court, and restore the position of prime minister in Zhongyang, the Han Dynasty, and the prime minister will naturally be held by him. Liu Bei's idea is so similar to Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms in Zhao Xing's memory, isn't Lao Cao's final official position the prime minister?

Throughout the Great Qin Empire and the early Western Han Dynasty, the position of prime minister was the most important official position below the emperor. The prime minister is the first of the hundred officials, the highest in Yulu, the son of heaven, and the assistant Wanji. If it weren't for the emperor's fear that the prime minister's power would be too great and directly threaten the imperial power, and that all dynasties were trying their best to limit and weaken it, in fact, the prime minister system is the closest road to a constitutional monarchy in China. The two typical countries that succeeded in constitutional monarchies in later generations, Britain and Japan, retained the royal family that symbolized the existence of the country, but elected the prime minister who presided over the affairs of the government through popular elections. There are many similarities between this prime minister and the prime minister in terms of position and power.

In the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, the prime minister had the right to select officials, the power to impeach hundreds of officials and implement punishments, the right to be in charge of the county tax quota and examinations, the right to concur the court and the affairs of the hundred officials, and the right to refute the emperor's edicts and admonitions。

If Liu Bei can take the position of prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty, why does he have to sit on that throne? Even the emperor's edict and the prime minister have the right to refute it, which is not much different from a constitutional monarchy.

As Liu Bei gained more and more the trust of the emperor, as the power in his hands grew, and as the group of forces that followed him gradually expanded, he became more and more aware of what he wanted. On the road to the prime minister, there are bound to be many obstacles and fetters, Liu Bei, who is ruthless and tenacious by nature, just like he persuaded the emperor, can definitely endure tenaciously, always holding on to the knife in his heart, until he finally reaches the peak of power.

There is a knife on the head of the word forbearance, and those who endure it may not be stabbed, but they can't help but jump out first, and most of them are destined to end badly. For example, Ding Yuan did not hold back and took the lead in attacking Zhao Xing, but lost the state; some time ago, Gongsun Zan did not hold back, and rashly went to attack Zhang Ju's rebels, and as a result, Youzhou was handed over to Zhao Xing; recently, Dong Zhuo did not hold back, thinking that Zhao Xing had no time to look westward, and brazenly launched a campaign against Ma Teng, but the army was defeated and captured, and in the end he could only end up dying in Baishi Mountain.

There are negative examples, and of course there are positive examples. Ma Teng, who has been surviving in the cracks, has successfully survived many crises because of his ability to endure. This time, although he met with the secret envoy of the Son of Heaven from Luoyang, Ma Teng finally resisted the temptation that he might serve as the pastor of Liangzhou, and according to Zhao Xing's hint, Ma Li wrote a letter asking for the throne on behalf of Liu Qian.

Ma Teng held back again, so he was destined to live a stable life. This also reflects Zhao Xing's strategy of wanting to capture and indulge in the past from the side, which has an immediate effect.

After receiving Zhao Xing's order, the cavalry of the 9,000 Dingyuan Army Huang Xuan Division stationed in Guzang City immediately withdrew from Wuwei cleanly and stationed in Gaoping City, leaving Ma Teng with enough space and depth. Subsequently, Zhao Xing sent Tian Feng with a large number of condolence gifts and dowry gifts to personally envoy Wuwei to propose marriage to Ma Teng on behalf of Zhao Xing, and promote the relationship between Zhao Yun and Ma Yunluo.

Because Guo Jia had already done the foreshadowing, after Tian Feng explained his intentions, Ma Teng agreed to such a family affair without thinking about it. Of course, Ma Chao, who has never wanted to call Zhao Xing and Zhao Yun uncles, has always turned his elbow outward when it comes to marrying his sister......

In addition to the two important matters of withdrawal and marriage, Tian Feng also put forward a third proposal that would be conducive to enhancing the relationship between the Jin State and Wuwei, that is, holding a joint military exercise on a scale of 10,000 people.
