Chapter 661: Helping the Wind and Correcting the Law
Liu Jian planned to send an envoy to meet Dong Zhuo...... To be honest, most of the people present in this matter are a little uncertain.
The prime minister actually wanted to send someone to persuade Dong Zhuo? It's a bit dangerous to hear about it.
But since it is the order of the prime minister, everyone should obey it.
It's just that if you think about the selection of this messenger, you will find that it is really difficult.
After all, the person I want to meet is Dong Zhuo!
is both fierce and ambitious Liangzhou Pifu, and he now has more than 100,000 Liangzhou soldiers in his hands!
If it was someone else, Xun Yu or Xun You and others would recommend themselves to Liu Jianmao, but the person they faced was Dong Zhuo, and they had little confidence to persuade them.
The Xun brothers are all ambitious people, they are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that there will be problems that cannot be solved, and turning back will delay the major events of the imperial court.
Jia Xu has a candidate in mind.
He then bowed his hand to Liu Jian and said, "Prime Minister, is it possible for Li Wenyou to take on this position?" ”
Liu Jian thought about it seriously, and then said: "It's feasible, Wenhe!" In the coming day, you quote you to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I personally ask him what he thinks. ”
"Whoa!"
……
The next day, Jia Xu lured Li Ru to Liu Jian on the grounds of official business.
At first, Li Ru was still a little unclear, so when he heard that Liu Jian was looking for him on business, he asked Jia Xu what business was on the way.
The problem is that Jia Xu's mouth is too strict, no matter how Li Ru asks, Jia Xu just doesn't say it, which makes Li Ru feel very helpless.
It wasn't until he saw Liu Jian and heard Liu Jian say that he wanted him to go to Liangzhou as a messenger that Li Rufang was shocked into a cold sweat, and secretly said that Jia Xu's old guy's mouth is really strict!
I didn't ask before, but I was waiting for me here!
Isn't that harmful?
Seeing Li Ru, he immediately bowed to Liu Jian and said: "Prime Minister, it's not that the last official is afraid of death and refuses to do his best, but the most resentful thing in Dong Ping's day is those betrayers......"
When he said this, Li Ru looked at Liu Jian in front of him in horror, for fear that this remark would make Liu Jian unhappy and cause him to be dissatisfied.
But Liu Jian's expression when he looked at him was very gentle and not abnormal, which made Li Ru really relieved in his heart.
"Prime Minister, it's not that Li Mou is not doing his best, but if I am asked to go in this matter, it will definitely add to the anger in Xiangguo's heart, and it will not be good for Prime Minister's major affairs."
Liu Jian said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then you recommend someone to me, you have been by Dong Zhongying's side for so long, I think you are also extremely familiar with his temperament, right?" And among these local heroes in Guanzhong, haven't you found any talents for Dong Zhongying for so many years? After all, you are also extremely favored by his side. ”
"I heard that Dong Zhongying has also tried his best to attract all kinds of talents in Guanzhong over the years, but because of his Liangzhou background, there has been no great progress...... In this place in the middle of the pass, there should be people he admires, right? ”
Li Ru hurriedly said: "Prime Minister Gao Zhi, in fact, Li really has a candidate in his heart who can assist the Prime Minister in this matter." ”
"Who?"
"In fact, since Dong Gong arrived in Chang'an, he has been committed to recruiting people from a family, but he has never succeeded, it is the Fa family of Fufeng County!"
Liu Jian nodded suddenly.
Li Ru continued: "The grandson of Fa Zhen, a famous scholar in Fufeng County, Fa Zheng, is only twenty-one years old, but he is already a famous person and the like!"
"In the first two years, Dong Gong was committed to recruiting young celebrities, and he also sent people to find this Fazheng several times."
"It's a pity that this Fazheng has never entered the Xiangguo Mansion."
"Later, Li personally represented Dong Gong and showed his sincerity, went to the Fa family to ask for this Fa Zheng and meet with him."
"After meeting, I know that the person is indeed extraordinary."
"It can be called the head of all the heroes in the land of Guanzhong."
"In particular, this person is quick-witted and courageous, and he is by no means an ordinary person. Li also felt that compared to him, he was far behind. ”
"If the prime minister can recruit Fa Zheng to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion and entrust him with the important task of going to Ji County to communicate with the Dong family, it will definitely have miraculous results in the future!"
When Liu Jian heard this, he smiled and said: "How can I listen to what you say, it seems that there are some things that Emperor Xiaohui invited Shangshan Sihao back then." ”
Li Ru said: "Emperor Xiaohui invited Shangshan Sihao to go out of the mountain to establish his crown prince's stability, in fact, it was not that Emperor Gao was shocked by Shangshan Sihao, but that Emperor Gao saw that everyone in the court was willing to help Emperor Xiaohui succeed, and even did not hesitate to use all his connections to ask Shangshan Sihao to come out of the mountain to help, which shows that Emperor Xiaohui's power has been established and cannot be shaken. ”
"If the prime minister can make the people of the Fufeng Fa clan go to Dong Gong as envoys, it will be similar to the matter of the four heads of Shangshan."
"I think that Dong Gong will definitely see through the people of the Fufeng Law Clan that the prime minister's power in Guanzhong has been established, and no one can shake him when he is idle, and then he will be helpless, and this negotiation will be much easier."
Liu Jian said: "There is some truth in what you say. ”
"In this case, there is Lao Wenyou, you will go to the Legalist family in Fufeng County again, go to see the Legalist family's father-in-law, and say that I want to recruit the Fazheng into the Shogunate's Mansion and go to Xiliang to carry out important things on my behalf as an envoy."
Li Ru knew that this was Liu Jian's ultimatum to the order he had given.
He has already refused Liu Jian to go to Liangzhou as an envoy, if he can no longer convince Fa Zheng to return to obedience, I am afraid that Liu Jian will have doubts about his true intention to surrender, and maybe he will secretly verify himself at that time, which is very unfavorable to Li Ru.
I'm afraid there won't be a good life in the future.
Seeing Li Ru hurriedly assured Liu Jian: "Prime Minister rest assured, Li must live up to his mission." ”
……
Li Ru really didn't deceive Liu Jian this time, he did it!
He personally went to Fufeng County and invited the Fazheng of the Fufeng Fa clan to Chang'an.
But in fact, if you study carefully, this is not Li Ru's credit!
Liu Jian's reputation has long spread all over the world, and the previous Legalists did not respond to Dong Zhuo's expedition because they felt that Dong Zhuo was unworthy.
But compared with Dong Zhuo, Liu Jian is different.
In this world, whether it is fame or military exploits, Wen Taowu and Liu Jian are second to none.
It can be said that the current Liu Jian has replaced Yuan Shao and become a model in the world.
In a sense, Liu Jian sent people to conquer Fazheng, which can be said to have given the Fa family a lot of face.
The people of the Fufeng Fa family almost did not hesitate, and let their son and nephew Fa Zheng come to Chang'an and meet Liu Jian with Li Ru.
Fa Zheng is now twenty-one years old, but he is already a well-known talent and celebrity in Fufeng.
Of course, this has something to do with his own ability, and it also has to do with the support given to him by the Fufeng Legalist.
After all, it is much easier for people from famous families to become famous and obtain resources than those ordinary families, which is an inherent law of human beings since they formed social relationships.
Even two thousand years later, this is no exception.
After Fa Zheng came to Chang'an with Li Ru, he met with Liu Jian and accepted Liu Jian's investigation.
Liu Jian is very good at testing and teaching his subordinates, and can accurately test the talents of his subordinates.
None of his examinations for Fazheng were related to scriptures, but all of them were about current affairs, people's livelihood, farming, technology, miscellaneous studies, and other issues.
But to Liu Jian's surprise, Fa Zheng was very sophisticated about the common sense about people's livelihood, politics, and miscellaneous studies that Liu Jian asked, and he was able to express a lot of his own opinions.
Liu Jian concluded that he must have put in a lot of hard work on weekdays.
It stands to reason that a famous person like him, especially his grandfather, is still a scholar...... His main energy should be on studying the scriptures, how can he understand these various current affairs and people's livelihood so well?
And listening to his answers, it seems that they are not temporary, but long-term accumulation and thoughtfulness, especially he can resonate with Liu Jian and communicate with each other!
He will also ask some very classic questions based on Liu Jian's questions, which Liu Jian appreciates greatly.
"Xiaozhi is really a rare young talent."
Liu Jian finally gave him such an evaluation.
Seeing Liu Jian praise him so much, Fa Zheng hurriedly saluted him and said: "It is a lifelong blessing to be able to be appreciated by the prime minister, and what I desire most in this life is to hope to be able to meet the master and assist him in achieving great things. ”
Liu Jian smiled and beckoned to Fa Zheng and asked him to sit down: "You don't have to be so polite, but I don't know one thing." ”
Fa Zheng was very smart, he could probably guess what Liu Jian had in his heart.
"I know what the prime minister wants to ask."
"Oh? Xiaozhi is really so astute? That's interesting, okay, then I'll ask Xiaozhi, what do you think I want to ask you? ”
Fa Zhengzheng said: "The Fufeng Fa family is a family of scholars, and my grandfather is a famous scholar in Kansai. ”
"The general thinks that Fa should be good at scripture and short on current politics and people's livelihood, but today the general is teaching me, but he sees that he is good at the way of people's livelihood, so the general wants to ask me why this is?"
Liu Jian laughed and said: "Xiaozhi is not only good at current affairs and people's livelihood, but also good at speculating on people's hearts, which is beyond the reach of ordinary young talents, but the more astute you are, the more I can rest assured that you will go to Liangzhou to handle big things." ”
Fa Zheng said with a smile: "In fact, a certain proficient in arithmetic, business, people's livelihood, and miscellaneous studies is a matter of recent years. ”
"Fa has adhered to the family motto since childhood, abided by the scriptures, visited famous teachers, and longed to be able to achieve attainments in the scriptures, after all, this is the method of fame of my Legalist family for several generations."
"But Fa Mou has changed his goal five years ago, no longer studying scriptures, but taking the initiative to learn about people's livelihood, water conservancy, farming and other ways, because Fa Mou knew that the prime minister and Dong Zhuo jointly implemented the new policy, and the world will change sooner or later."
"The days of holding on to the classics and hoping to get a career and become famous all over the world, and the family from generation to generation has passed."
"Although many famous families are not reconciled, but in Fa's view, this is the truth of this world, although Fa is also unwilling, but I know that this is the trend of the times, if a certain does not change his concept, then the entire Fufeng Fa clan will fall to the bottom sooner or later."
Forensic words made Liu Jian very moved.
Obviously, if all the children of the noble families in the world can have the consciousness of Fazheng, then the reform of the Han Dynasty will definitely be much easier.
As a group that has been touched by reform, Fazheng did not join forces with other families to maintain the old system, but aimed to change himself, learn new things, accept new things, and conform to the trend of the world.
He conforms to the trend of the times, constantly improves himself, does not let the times conform to him, but adapts to the times with his own efforts.
Such a person told the truth, which made Liu Jian feel a sense of resonance, which was really inspirational.
After all, for people who adapt to the times, no one in this world can compare to Liu Jian's efforts to adapt to the times.
After all, he is a time-traveler who has come to ancient times from later generations, and he knows the pain of this sense of adaptation best.
"It is a blessing in the world that filial piety can have such an awareness!"
"If the people of my Han Dynasty can be as filial piety as every, why worry that my Han Dynasty will not prosper, and why worry that this nation will not be strong? Why worry that the world will not be peaceful? Why worry that people in the world will not have enough food and clothing? ”
"The prime minister has praised it too much, and it is far from being as good as the prime minister said."
"Xiaozhi, this time I asked you to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, in addition to recruiting you, there is still a task to be handed over to you, before you want to come again, Li Wenyou has already told you, right?"
Fa Zheng nodded solemnly: "Captain Li has already told me about this, if the prime minister wants to stabilize Guanzhong, he must appease the Liangzhou army." ”
"The friendship between the prime minister and Dong Zhuo over the years can be described as both friend and foe, although there have been frictions between each other, but they also have a good friendship."
"Fa Mou thought that as long as Fa Mou grasped the soft spot in Dong Zhuo's heart and conveyed the prime minister's sincerity to him, Dong Zhuo would definitely not fight to the death with the prime minister."
"It's just that I also ask the prime minister to tell me about your friendship with Dong Zhuo over the years, as well as your understanding of Dong Zhuo, and what kind of person the prime minister thinks Dong Zhuo is."
Seeing that Fa Zheng was so serious, Liu Jian was very pleased, and he immediately elaborated on Fa Zheng seriously.
Including his own understanding of Dong Zhuo, as well as the analysis of the other party's psychology and personality, Liu Jian told Fa Zheng without hesitation.
The forensic examiner listened very carefully.
He kept everything Liu Jian told him firmly in his heart, and some of them could not be remembered, and he even ordered someone to take the pen and paper and write it down on the paper, so that he could carefully figure it out after he went back.
On the second day, Liu Jian once again let Fa Zheng come to his prime minister's mansion.
Then he also brought Jia Xu and Li Ru and asked them to introduce Dong Zhuo's situation to Fa Zheng.
After so many people's detailed explanations, Fa Zheng also probably knew the entanglement of interests between Dong Zhuo and Liu Jian, and also knew what kind of person Dong Zhuo was.
After careful consideration, he roughly described his words of persuading Dong Zhuo to Liu Jian, and asked Liu Jian to help him polish and refer to them, and put forward his opinions.
After careful preparations, Fazheng finally set off towards Ji County.
……
Ji County, Dong Zhuo's residence.
Dong Zhuo had long known the news of Liu Jian's entry into Chang'an.
When he first learned the news, Dong Zhuo almost vomited blood, after all, Chang'an was his base camp, and Liu Jian's entry into Chang'an was equivalent to cutting off his way back.
It's just that he didn't dare to move during this time, because his condition was always going back and forth, sometimes good and sometimes bad.
Externally, he declared that there was nothing wrong with his condition.
What are these Xiliang generals under him, he knows best in his heart.
These people haven't stiffened yet, because they all feel that Dong Zhuo's body has no problems for the time being.
If Dong Zhuo leads the army to kill now, it will inevitably let these Xiliang generals know that he is already very sick, and when the time comes, let alone kill back to Chang'an, it is difficult to say whether someone will rebel directly.
In this case, Dong Zhuo did not dare to return to Chang'an easily, and he also pinned his hopes on Liu Jian and Yuan Shao to defeat both sides, and then he would take the opportunity to take the power of the fisherman, which would not be bad.
It's just that I didn't expect that Liu Jian, this kid is really amazing!
He defeated Yuan Shao with lightning speed, and at the same time pacified the rebels in Guanzhong.
Even the Son of Heaven was abolished very quickly.
And Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others were quickly eliminated by him.
Everything seemed to happen overnight, so fast that Dong Zhuo didn't react.
Subsequently, Liu Jian took the opportunity to reduce the supply of grain and grass for the Xiliang Army, which was a headache for Dong Zhuo.
Liu Jian continued to provide food for the Western Liang Army, but at the same time, the grain and grass he gave to the Liangzhou Army was also limited, so that the Western Liang Army could not hoard too much grain, so that the Western Liang Army had no way to carry out a large-scale counteroffensive, but it still had to rely on the supply of the imperial court.
Every time he thought of this, Dong Zhuo was angry and wanted to kill.
Liu Deran is really treacherous and cunning, and he deceives people too much!
What exactly does he want to do?
If you want to fight, you can drive the troops to fight!
If you want to trap yourself, you can completely cut off food!
Dong Zhuo really can't guess Liu Jian's thoughts now.
This kid is really hateful!
