The whole Guanzhong is now shaking!

Within Yongzhou, every county, every county, from the head of one party to the ordinary people, and even the head of the homeless Qian, all the people are now talking about one thing after tea and dinner.

That is, after Liu Jian played the slogan of the Qingjun side, he defeated Yuan Shao for the third time with lightning speed, so that Yuan Shao could not continue to gain a foothold in Guanzhong, and could only retreat in the direction of Nanyang County in a hurry.

Yuan Shaojun had no choice but to retreat, and now there is only one largest military force left in Guanzhong.

That is Liu Jian, the general of Fuyuan who is in charge of the Hebei Army!

Everyone has one thing in their hearts!

This time, Liu Jian's entry into Chang'an must be a sure thing.

And those princes of the wang clan who opposed Liu Jian in the capital can be regarded as completely finished at this time.

……

In Chang'an City, the secret agent sent by Xun You has rushed back today, and he did not go directly to Xun You's mansion, but walked around the city and came to Ma Riyan's mansion.

Liu Biao, Dong Zhao, Zhang Ji and others are not here in Ma Riyan today, and most of the scholars of the Qingliu family are not here either, only Xun You came here to meet Ma Riyan on official business.

Recently, Xun Yu decided to reduce the gatherings of the Qingliu scholars.

After all, now is a sensitive period, especially Wang Yun and Yang Biao, who are like crazy, like mad dogs, catching and biting whom!

Facing Liu Jian, who was about to lead his troops into the capital, all the palace nobles were now panicking.

They know very well what kind of fate they will have once Liu Jian enters Chang'an and takes power!

In the face of a huge threat of death, no one can guarantee that he will still be as wise and clear as usual.

Especially a few people led by Yang Biao, Wang Yun and others, it is really a complete mess now.

They have completely lost their usual calm, they don't have any soldiers and horses in their hands, and Liu Jian has an army of seventy or eighty thousand, and it is easy to kill them.

What made them even more distressed was that Liu Jian could have killed them, but he didn't kill them!

Liu Jian was not in a hurry to send troops to Chang'an, but his soldiers and horses went to fight Yuan Shao, and after Yuan Shao was expelled from Guanzhong, Liu Jian was not in a hurry to march to the capital.

He slowly cleaned up the mess in the military attaché, and cleaned up the troops, so that Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others almost lost their minds.

If you want to kill or chop, you should hurry!

Today's Wang Yun and Yang Biao have no other way, they are worried about arresting people everywhere in Chang'an City all day long, and their subordinates are actively investigating in various official offices in Chang'an City, strictly preventing Liu Jian's spies or internal agents from lurking into Chang'an.

As for the officials in Chang'an City, they are really strict with their management now.

All officials who dared to secretly contact each other in private, or who had signs of communication with Liu Jian, Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others were all right, and they were either detained or interrogated...... even killed directly.

For a while, the officials in the entire Chang'an City were panicked.

In particular, the Qingliu clan led by Xun You, Liu Biao, Ma Riyan and others, because they were opposed to Wang Yun and others in terms of political positions, and they restrained each other, so Wang Yun and others suppressed them very hard.

However, fortunately, the Son of Heaven Liu Wei now knows the importance of balancing the court, so he can be regarded as supporting the Qingliu scholars, at least he did not let the Qingliu system be completely suppressed to death by Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others.

In this very season, Xun You, Liu Biao and others discussed, it is better to be careful in everything, and try to avoid these crazy ministers and nobles if there is anything, and don't let them seize the handle, so as not to cause too much damage to their own Qingliu forces.

Therefore, even if they were answering information, they were not like before, so that all the scholars of the Qingliu system gathered together, and everyone listened together.

And only Xun You and Ma Riyan listened to the situation outside, and then found a way to tell everyone secretly.

The person who came back to convey the information seemed to be very thirsty, and when he saw Xun You and Ma Riyan, his voice was a little hoarse.

Xun You didn't let him report the situation in a hurry, but ordered someone to fetch a large pot of water and let the spy moisten his throat first.

The spy thanked Xun You and Ma Riyan, then picked up the big pot, raised his head and poured it unceremoniously, and poured all the water in the pot into his stomach after a while.

Then I saw him wipe his mouth and say to Xun You:

"Duke Xun, the Hebei army has now come out of Wuguan, they have occupied Wuguan, and they are currently heading north towards Chang'an, but they stopped in Lingxiang, two hundred miles south of Chang'an, and it seems that they are preparing troops and horses."

"And this time the army has been reorganized for a long time, it has been a full seven days, but I haven't seen any movement from the Hebei army."

When Ma Riyan heard this, he was very surprised.

"Gongda, you say, what does General Liu think?"

"There is no army in Guanzhong that can stop him, but he doesn't come to Chang'an, he just shouts all day long about the Qingjun side, the Qingjun side, but there is no substantive behavior, what is this for?"

Xun You stroked his short hair, and seemed to be frowning and contemplating.

However, it only took a moment for him to figure it out.

"Hehe, Ma Gong, in fact, this matter is not difficult to guess, the general does have his intentions, if my guess is correct, the general is now coercing Chang'an! He wanted more families in Guanzhong to take the initiative to ask him to surrender, and at the same time, he was also waiting for more courtiers to secretly contact him by letter and show him loyalty. ”

When Ma Riyan heard this, he was still puzzled.

Xun You explains:

"The general is now the strongest in the vicinity of Chang'an, and his 80,000 troops are unmatched."

"He is not in a hurry to enter Chang'an at the moment, but the people in Yongzhou are in a hurry to express their attitude to him! Because we all need a future. ”

"The longer the general delays the time, the more people in Chang'an secretly contact him, and the more the local high-ranking families in Yongzhou communicate with him."

"And the more rebellious high-ranking families, the more Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others will kill, the greater the instability within the wealthy families, and the more chaotic the political pattern of Chang'an."

"Because of this, the court and the wang clan in Chang'an will eventually be divided into several major political forces, competing with each other and consuming endlessly."

"As long as they are not monolithic, after the general comes to Chang'an, he can clean them up one by one, and finally bring all the power into one."

When Ma Riyan heard this, he nodded appreciatively: "Gongda is really high!" ”

I heard Ma Riyan say worriedly: "Then since the general has already made a move, what should we do in Chang'an City?" ”

Xun You said slowly: "What we have to do now is to do nothing,"

"Let the officials of our department have recently closed their doors, sat at home, don't get involved in political affairs, don't do what they can, don't do it, tolerate what they can endure, don't care about what they can do, push out the official affairs that can be pushed, transition the power that can be transitioned, and call it sick at home if they can call it sick at home."

"Anyway, more is better than less, if you can mix less with one thing, you will be less mixed with one thing, and if you can see one person less, you will see one person less."

When Ma Riyan heard Xun You say this, his eyes widened in surprise.

He really didn't expect that these words would actually come out of Gongda's mouth.

This person usually works hard and works hard for the court, he is dedicated to sharing worries for the Son of Heaven and solving various difficult diseases for the court, which can be described as diligent!

How could he say such a thing at a critical time?

"Gongda, I really don't understand what you said...... Wouldn't it be nice to let everyone resign from the government? ”

Xun You stroked his short beard and said with a smile: "Except for this official who can't resign, if you can't do anything else, you won't do it, just leave an official name, and the rest will treat yourself as an ordinary Li Shu, and tell everyone in our family that at this moment, if you don't do something, you are doing the biggest thing!" ”

"Would you like to hear about it?"

Xun You let out a long sigh and said, "Such a waste of time, in fact, how can I be willing?" It's just that the current situation is different, and in a few months, the imperial court will inevitably bring forth the new, and all political affairs and systems will change,"

"As the saying goes, after breaking, if you don't break it, you can't stand."

"What you do now, in a month, two months, and three months, will become useless, so why do you spend that amount of effort?"

"For those of us, the more we do now, the easier it will be for Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others to find an opportunity to abolish their official positions and expel them back to their hometowns, which is really worth the loss."

"What we are doing now is forbearance! Everyone can swallow their anger and keep their official positions, and when the general enters Beijing in the future, we Qingliu and the others can naturally become the wings of the general, assist the government with the general, and support the new monarch. ”

"The general has just entered Chang'an, although he has strong military strength, he also needs capable people to help him deal with the government and run the country."

"The general has Uncle Wenruo, Guo Fengxiao, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, and Judge...... Although these people are all elites in the world, but these people are only in the local government, but they have never stood in the court, and they have no experience in presiding over the operation of a country in the capital. ”

"The general must also understand this very well."

"Therefore, the general needs his courtiers who have been in the court to help him run the country."

"And those ministers under Wang Yun and Yang Biao, even if they take refuge in the general, how much trust do you think the general will have in them? Will he be able to rest assured that they will run the country for him? ”

"That's absolutely impossible, this country still needs our Qingliu line to operate in the end, so we have to try our best to protect our people from Wang Yun and others now, and after the general enters Chang'an, our Qingliu line will naturally be able to raise our eyebrows."

Listening to Xun You's words, Ma Riyan felt infinite admiration in his heart.

The Yingchuan Xun family is really capable!

Although the eight dragons of the previous generation have all passed away now, the outstanding talents of this generation are also amazing, and they are not far behind the previous generation.

This Xun Gongda is now the leader of the third generation of the Xun family, but he is not inferior to the second generation of Xun family children led by Xun Yu and others, which is really powerful.

In fact, Xun You's political ability and vision are so outstanding, also because he has studied by Xun Shuang's side over the years, and also because he has been in the Chang'an court for a long time, has seen too many things, and has accumulated a wealth of dedication.

At this point, he has surpassed his uncle Xun Yu.

Ma Riyan suddenly thought of one more thing, and he looked at Xun You suspiciously.

"Gongda, among what you said, there is a sentence to assist the new monarch, what does this mean?"

Xun You just laughed and didn't answer.

……

In fact, Xun You did guess most of Liu Jian's intentions, but he didn't guess a small half.

The reason why Liu Jian is not in a hurry to march to Chang'an now is not only because he has to wait for Yongzhou and many families in Chang'an to surrender to his side and divide the strength of the other party, but also because Liu Jian is waiting for another group of people who support him to enter Beijing.

Liu Jian entered Chang'an to take charge of the government, not only did he need to eliminate Wang Yun, but also Yang Biao and others, he also needed to do another big thing.

That is to abolish Liu Wei.

In fact, with Liu Jian's current military strength, after entering the capital, it is not difficult to directly abolish Liu Jian, and then support a new emperor, after all, the hard power is there.

Although some people in the court will complain, I am afraid that they will not be able to stop Liu Jian.

But Liu Jian felt that if he did this, like Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao in history, he would definitely be used to slander his reputation.

Even if he Liu Jian wants to abolish the emperor, he must be upright, upright, and famous in history, so that people can't let out a fart.

But how easy is it to do that?

Even if Liu Jian's military strength is shocking, there must still be people in the court who dare to resist his abolition.

There are still many people in the Great Han Shi group who are strong and not afraid of death.

When the time comes, someone will definitely stand up and scold Liu Jian for being a traitor, and this kind of thing will definitely happen.

Therefore, in order to prove his correctness and justice, Liu Jian must fight these people to the end.

First of all, he wants to win over a group of his own political allies and make himself stand on the moral high ground.

But to be honest, from ancient times to the present, as long as it is about the abolition of the emperor, no matter how much it is beautified, it will not have a good effect.

Because those who depose the emperor will inevitably be labeled as powerful ministers, and Liu Jian will not be an exception.

After all, the emperor is the lord of a country, and abolishing the emperor is to abolish the government of a country, restart the stove, and abolish the world's official affairs by himself, how can anyone be left alone?

Liu Jian thought of a solution.

In order to be able to make his deposed emperor succeed and minimize the negative impact, he planned to gather a group of people to carry out this matter together.

It is useless to win over courtiers and magnates, no matter how these people support themselves, the world and future generations will still label themselves as powerful ministers.

Therefore, Liu Jian planned to change the matter of abolishing the emperor from a public affair to a semi-public and semi-private matter.

How can this be transformed into a semi-public, half-private matter?

That is to call on the influential princes and kings of the world to enter Beijing, and everyone will discuss this matter together.

This world is the world of the Han family, but the world of the Han family is not the world of the emperor alone, and many emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty also had no heirs after the death of the first emperor, so they selected heirs from the princes and kings, and were supported by the Han ministers to the position of the emperor.

Therefore, the princes and kings can also be regarded as half of the masters of the Han world.

For today's son's moral and political mistakes, the princes and kings who are his brothers and uncles naturally have the right to evaluate it, and everyone sits together to discuss - whether the current emperor is capable of governing the Han world well?

After all, this is our old Liu family's country!

Liu Jian's letter was soon delivered to the various princes and kings.

These princes and kings did not dare to slack off, and marched in the direction of Chang'an.

These people include Liu Yu, the king of Zhao, Liu Wei, the king of Changshan, Liu Yuan, the king of the East China Sea, Liu Xu, the king of Anping, Liu Yi, the king of Xiapi, Liu Rong, the king of Langya, Liu Yi, the king of Hejian, Liu Zhi, the king of Zhongshan, Liu Luan, the king of Jibei, Liu He, the king of Pengcheng, and Liu Zhong, the king of Ganling...... A great crowd of kings came.

Moreover, not only the princes and kings, but also Liu Yu of Qingzhou is also heading towards Chang'an.

These Liu clan relatives will gather in the Chang'an court to discuss the abolition of the emperor.
