Chapter 586: The Bell

At this time, Zhong Xuan knelt on the ground and first asked:

"Your Majesty, for what crime will you condemn the general?"

The little emperor didn't care, and replied as he should:

"Isn't the great general who deserves to die?"

Zhong Xuan nodded, but still insisted:

"Damn, but even if you kill it, you need to be famous, after all, He Jin is not only the general of the Han family, but also the uncle of His Majesty. Even if you don't respond to the ministers of the foreign courts, you have to explain it to the Queen Mother. ”

The little emperor thought for a moment and gave a reason:

"How can he enter the eyes of the king, and he will be convicted of death by hiding soldiers privately!"

Zhong Xuan secretly said in his heart that this was indeed the case, and then directly shook his head and admonished:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is one more crime, that is, the general He Jin withheld the food and salary of the front-line officials, so as to defeat the front. Not killing is not enough to calm the anger of the whole army. ”

As soon as the little emperor heard this suggestion, he immediately pondered, this is to put the responsibility for this defeat on He Jin's head.

But it was also the case, as a general, he should also be responsible for this failure.

Thinking of this, the little emperor once again thought that He Jin was not wronged.

But in fact, the little emperor only thought of the first layer, and Zhong Xuan was actually thinking about the back. After killing He Jin, the troops in his hands would inevitably be suspicious, and once there was such a reason, those generals knew that the little emperor would not make a move against them.

In this way, the army can be stable.

It can be said that the little emperor can have Zhong Xuan to advise him, which is really beneficial.

However, it is enough for the little emperor to understand the first layer, so he has to add this article to the cloth.

But at this time, Zhong Xuan stopped him again and said his second concern:

"Your Majesty, He Jin's crime is easy to convict, but he has to be very cautious in dealing with his henchmen."

Seeing that Liu Wei was puzzled, Zhong Xuan sighed even more in his heart, and then talked to Liu Wei.

In Zhong Xuan's narration, Liu Wei finally understood the meaning of the teacher's words.

Ordinary people would think that the emperor had supreme authority and let whoever died die. But in reality, the emperor's power was also limited, and this limitation was not an institutional limitation, but depended on the emperor's local health and information.

In other words, if the emperor wants to be qualified, he must at least be educated by the system emperor.

And whether it should be said or not, in the Han family, there has been no qualified emperor for a long time.

For example, Emperor Ming and Emperor Zhang, both of them were trained as emperor preparers, and they both ascended the throne with strong strength, so they were qualified emperors from the beginning.

But after Emperor Zhang became emperor for less than ten years, he died, leaving an emperor who was only ten years old. From that time on, the dynasty began to fall into a terrible cycle of suspicion of the lord and the country.

Until the death of Emperor Shun, the general Liang Ji first supported Emperor Qian, and then was poisoned by Emperor Shun because the little emperor expressed dissatisfaction with Emperor Shun, and then supported Emperor Huan, who was only fifteen years old.

Emperor Huan, as a clan of the Hebei royal family, has never been cultivated as an emperor, how can he come to the royal education, so he is also unqualified.

Later, Emperor Huan died without an heir, and history cycled again, and Liu Hong of the Hebei royal family was welcomed into the palace as the emperor.

And Liu Hong did not have an imperial education.

Until Liu Wei and Liu Xie, they can be said to be the only two princes who have been systematically educated in the Han family in the past hundred years. Thanks to his father's long reign, the two brothers were able to obtain a complete education as princes.

Therefore, in terms of ability, Liu Wei at this time is not a problem, which is also unanimously recognized by Zhong Xuan and others.

But Liu Wei still lacks a piece, that is, the precipitation of time.

As an emperor, he naturally has a weakness, that is, he is always in the palace and lacks sufficient understanding of the situation outside the palace.

Therefore, this often causes them to be out of touch with reality and be fooled by the ministers of foreign courts.

And even though Liu Wei has political understanding and the endowment of power to fight, he is still a twelve-year-old child in the final analysis. He had too little knowledge of the outside world, and he had no understanding of the complex interpersonal relationships of foreign ministers.

As Liu Bian's teacher, Zhong Jian had no doubt that if Liu Biao was given ten years of precipitation, he would inevitably become an excellent king, but Liu Biao did not have this decade.

Therefore, Zhong Xuan must remind Liu Wei to pay attention to one point, that is, he must be cautious when deciding who to enter the party.

If Liu Wei has been in charge of the court for ten years, then what is the relationship between those ministers of the foreign court, he must be clear, which people and He Jin are in the same party, Liu Wei himself can decide.

And with ten years of experience in governance, Liu Wei has long been able to cultivate a group of people, those who obey are high-ranking officials, and those who do not obey are degraded to death.

As long as you don't make mistakes and don't be capricious, you can give you the opportunity to be really talented. And the corpse vegetarian eater, whether old or young, can also be dismissed.

When the time comes, the little emperor will naturally be able to stab the iron of the empire's rule.

After all, in this era of human rule, as long as the little emperor cultivates an excellent team of bureaucrats, he can firmly control the court.

But not now, Liu Wei only knows some ministers now, but some of the ministers who are specifically implementing it have not been recognized, how can he determine the relationship with He Jin?

At that time, the power to draw up the list can only be handed over to others, and I am afraid that it will be a catastrophe at that time.

Because Zhong Xuan understands that this crumbling Kwantung court can still be maintained now, in addition to the identity of the little emperor, it is by relying on those foreign officials who do things concretely.

If you don't kill it indiscriminately, then the Kanto court will be paralyzed immediately.

Why can't that first evil be killed? No, it doesn't.

As a political faction, He Jin is not alone, he has his own party forces. If only He Jin is killed, the rest of the people will be in a panic and can do anything.

And those who are around the little emperors will not agree. Because the coup d'Γ©tat is to purge, and not to pull out those He Jin Party members, then how can there be a place for them?

Therefore, due to internal and external factors, the little emperor must draw up a purge list by himself, but neither more nor less, which is a great test of the political wisdom of the little emperor.

And after understanding this, the little emperor only felt that the Zhu pen in his hand was heavy.

At this moment, he felt that politics is not just about daring to kill.

So, he looked at Zhong Xuan for help, hoping to get help from Zhong Xuan.

And Zhong Xuan was also very embarrassed, of course he had a list in his heart, but he also knew that once he drew up this list, the situation of his own political career would be very dangerous.

Zhong Miao understands very well that even though he has a very close relationship with Liu Xie now, he still has his own political enemies, even if he doesn't have it now, he will definitely have one in the future.

And when the time comes, the political enemies will make a fuss about this matter and spread rumors that his party is the same and different, so Zhong Xuan can't tell how he can't tell.

In addition to this, another reason for Zhong Xuan's hesitation is that this matter is too offensive.

People's social relations are very complicated, He Jin is from Nanyang, and most of his henchmen are from Nanyang.

But the relationship between Yuzhou and Nanyang is very close, for example, some of Zhong Xuan's own friends in the same county have intermarried with some big families in Nanyang.

So once Zhong Miao drew up this list, then he would have to completely break with him at least in the township party, and from then on, Zhong Miao could really only be a lonely minister and a pure minister.

At this time, Zhong Xuan looked at the little emperor who prayed for color with a little complexity, and doubted in his heart whether the little emperor understood this, and then deliberately asked Zhong Xuan to draw it up.

In this case, I am a student who is really thoughtful.

At this time, the little emperor called out affectionately:

"Master Zhong, are you willing to help me?"

Looking at the helpless eyes of his students, Zhong Xuan sighed, and bowed to the ground respectfully, with a straight face:

"Only, the minister will never give up."

……

On the Yongmen Road at the West Gate of Kyoto, Liu Bei was slowly walking with 500 people of Zhijinwu, who were preparing to go out of the Yongmen West and then to the White Horse Temple two miles west of the city.

These 500 people were all veterans brought down by Liu Bei from the front line, and this time they temporarily changed into the clothes of Zhi Jinwu to prepare for the operation.

Next to him, it was still Zhang Fei as usual.

At this time, Zhang Fei was humming, and he complained to Liu Bei:

"Why do you always let us do such dirty things?"

Liu Bei sighed:

"Because we are obedient and experienced, this dirty work should be in the hands of our brothers."

Zhang Fei was very dissatisfied, he couldn't hold back his voice a little:

"Big brother, you know that after we killed that old man Yuan in the palace before, your brother's reputation in my hometown will be rotten. Now we Zhang Fei are embarrassed to go back. ”

But who would have thought, after Liu Bei heard it, he said this:

"Now in this northland, we can't go back even if we want to. After the Taishan army occupies Hebei, we will have no home. ”

Zhang Fei was silent, and then slapped the saddle, even more angry.

At this time, Chen Zhi, who had been leading the horse rope for Liu Bei, suddenly asked:

"Lord, what will happen if we can't do this this time?"

Zhang Fei next to him laughed and snorted:

"Ah to, just how to enter the stinky fish and rotten shrimp over there, I kill them like slaughtering chickens, what do you say you can't do?"

Chen Zhi also believed this, and couldn't help nodding in agreement.

And Liu Bei sighed again, he looked at the White Horse Temple that was becoming more and more obvious in front of him, and said helplessly:

"What happens if it doesn't work? Then our home in Kyoto will be gone, and our brothers will really have to make their home all over the world. ”

Zhang Fei shrugged his shoulders and said without hesitation:

"The four seas are the home, the four seas are the home, and the husband should be like this. Besides, where my brother goes, we Lao Zhang will go, and our home will be there. ”

Chen Zhi nodded again, indicating that he could no longer agree.

Only Liu Bei's eyes were slightly red, he looked at the White Horse Temple in the fog in front of him, listened to the bell it knocked out, and thought:

"Where is the place where my Liu Bei can establish a meritorious career?"

So, in the melodious bell, Liu Bei, who was full of ideals and pride in his heart, came to the White Horse Temple again with the brothers who trusted him.

The bell of the White Horse Temple is raised, and the bell of fate is rippling.

And this time, the fate of countless people has been rewritten because of this, the most important of which is Liu Bei himself.
