After hearing that the emperor had sent Cai Wenji to prison, Xun You hurried over.

But instead of admonishing directly, he asked, "Is Your Majesty okay?" ”

Liu Wei was asking Ma Riyan to recall the seven measures that Cai Yong had given to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to govern the country.

Hearing this, he said angrily: "If you want to persuade, just talk about people!" ”

"Damn it!" Xun You immediately pleaded guilty.

In front of this young emperor, it really seems pointless to engage in these roundabout methods.

"I heard that Cai Yan intended to assassinate His Majesty, but he only talked about it, and there was no substantive action." Xun You pondered the wording and asked very cautiously, "Cai Yan has a very high reputation in the Central Plains, and even faintly surpasses her father Cai Bojiao. Such a woman is not comparable to ordinary women, please be cautious with Your Majesty. ”

"You mean that I was scolded and judged by that woman in person, and I didn't mention it?" Liu Wei was a little annoyed, a beauty is good, but he is not an emperor who can't walk when he sees a woman.

"The minister didn't mean that." Xun You said, "It's just that in this way, the world will only mourn what happened to Cai Wenji and complain about her, but it will confirm the rumors about Your Majesty from the outside world." ”

"Your Majesty is clearly trying your best to govern this country, but if you allow those literati to continue to smear you, the ministers will feel unjust for Your Majesty."

Liu Weiting's heart was weak but extremely annoyed, "This is the reason why I am reluctant to reuse those celebrities. ”

"What does Xun Qing think of this piece of music that Cai Bojiao gave to the emperor at the beginning?"

Xun You's expression was slightly stunned, he didn't understand why he was talking about Cai Wenji well, and it involved Cai Yong's body.

But he knew about this, so he said: "The minister has also heard a little about this. At that time, thunder and gales, earthquakes, locusts and other disasters occurred frequently, so the first emperor issued an edict to punish himself, and ordered the ministers to explain some of their measures for governing the country. ”

"Among the seven things listed by Cai Bojiao, in addition to punishing the ministers who are treacherous and evil, the remaining six articles are all useless talk, that is, the rhetoric is gorgeous and fascinating."

Liu Wei's face finally looked relaxed.

He loved to hear it a lot, and he almost entirely thought of going with him.

The things listed by Cai Yong are just like the truths that Cai Wenji and he taught, empty.

"But, Your Majesty, by recruiting these famous teachers into the court, you can make them do what they are best at, such as literature." Xun You said, "Even if these people don't have to do anything in the court, it will be a good proof for the literati of the world." ”

Although Liu Wei's current situation is not very good, his heart is arrogant.

In his eyes, this is an ideological war.

And now, he's defeated.

If he adopts Yuan's original suggestion, it will be the most obvious compromise.

This is not a tactic to pull people into confrontation.

Those people are famous people in the world, but they are not materials that can be directly used one by one.

They all come with their own conditions.

Just like the seven secret recitals that Cai Yong gave to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty at the beginning, it was impossible for Liu Wei to agree.

Engaging in sacrifices and emphasizing filial piety can make the world less calamity?

It's all about that.

"No!" After thinking about it for a while, Liu Wei still rejected Xun You's advice.

And gave his own reasons, "I, the Han people, must now achieve unity in consciousness, this is not the peak of peace in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the people do not need those fake and empty things." They could not fill the bellies of the people, nor could they keep them warm. ”

"I, the emperor, and the people of the world now have the same demands, to be well-fed, warmly dressed, and to have hard fists!"

"All these things can not be achieved by engaging in sacrifices, emphasizing filial piety, and stressing the virtues of benevolence!"

"The people of the Central Plains need to pour their sweat on the current land, and they need to have a fearless fighting heart, which is something they should have. We need to grab, we need to fight, we need to use blood and sweat to regain a peaceful and peaceful day, full of food and clothing. ”

"Do you think it's possible to recruit those celebrities into the court and make them dumb?"

Xun You shook his head.

That's really, as if impossible.

"In the Battle of Changping, Qin killed 450,000 soldiers of Zhao with a counter-plot, and that rumor, which seemed even a little ridiculous in my opinion, played an incredible result. If I let those famous people into the court, they may only need to talk freely about their views on governing the country, and they will be able to divide and disintegrate the hearts of the people who I have so hard to gather. Liu Wei said.

This is a war without gunpowder.

In the case that he, the emperor, was already burdened with a lot of notoriety, Liu Wei did not dare to gamble.

He was really afraid of self-destruction.

Those rumors from the outside world, when his army pushes over, everything will be broken.

Although he was worried, he did not need to do anything because of it.

Look at the current Chen Liu and Shanyang, they are both developing in a good direction together.

The enthusiasm of the people was so high that there were even a large number of brave people who asked to join the war every day.

That's the most realistic conclusion.

Panic and stomp on the horse!

Xun You could only smile bitterly.

The emperor can be said to be the most simple and resolute method, but it has nothing to do with right or wrong.

But nothing is black and white, and there are many possibilities.

Xun You, the people next to him, don't know, but if they are like Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan, if they have to be reused, it will definitely be beneficial.

Ma Riyan stood in the corner like an invisible person.

He didn't say a word, but his mind didn't stop thinking for a moment.

The emperor's words made him suddenly seem to see the former Great Qin.

When the united old Qin people came out of the pass, the world shook!

Seeing that Xun You didn't seem to be ready to say anything, Ma Riyan stood up, "Your Majesty's words made the ministers pause. When the princes of the world rise together, the imperial court really needs to work together to win the battle in front of them before thinking about anything else. ”

"The minister thinks that the best time to recruit those celebrities is indeed not in sight, but in the time of peace."

Liu Wei pointed at Ma Riyan and said, "Look, Ma Qing's words hit the nail on the head. ”

This is an extremely controversial matter, and Liu Wei accepts the controversy.

But he stood by his opinion.

Fortunately, Xun You still remembered that he came for Cai Wenji.

Since he couldn't change the emperor's opinion, Xun You had no choice but to mention the matter again, "Your Majesty does not reuse celebrities, and the ministers are indisputable, but it is not appropriate to offend the people of the world too much." The minister asked His Majesty to forgive Cai Wenji, forgive her guilt, and order Cai Yong to return to his hometown to settle down! ”

Liu Wei looked at Xun Yu with a slightly complicated expression, "These words, if Chen Lin came to talk to me, in my opinion, it would be appropriate." Yes, according to your word. ”

Xun You's heart chuckled.

The emperor's words are meaningful!

"The minister also heard about ......," Xun You said again.

But as soon as he spoke, he was ruthlessly interrupted by the emperor, "There is no need to persuade the Cai clan to requisition and send them." ”

"Cai Wenji I can't move, but Cai is my subject, others can go to the battlefield, why can't they?!"

Xun You hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister means that the three clans of Wei, Gao, and Ruan can be levied at the same time, and they will be treated equally. ”

"Exactly." Liu Wei said.

Once these things are involved, he has only one thought - he is really tired of stepping on a horse.

Comparing Liu Biao and Liu Yan, they almost wrote the correct answer on their faces.

Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou, and when there was nothing to do, he decisively joined forces with the local clan.

In order to consolidate his position, Liu Yan strongly exterminated a large number of family lords in Shu.

As a result, although he is still holding on steadily, there are people who oppose him every once in a while.

If it weren't for the people who had been exiled from Guanzhong to support him, he would have been able to balance the two forces.

Perhaps, Liu Yan has already been kicked out of Yizhou.

……

Xun You received the emperor's will, so he took people to mention Cai Wenji in the single father's prison.

When he entered, Cai Wenji was weaving mats from local weeds.

And the originally extremely messy prison has been cleaned up by her, and even the only oil lamp has been wiped clean and placed firmly in the center of several cases.

"Miss Wen Ji is really ingenious, except when it was first built, this prison house has probably never been as clean and serious as it is today." Xun You said.

Cai Wenji carefully arranged the dry grass into a bundle, and then slowly arranged it together.

During this period, she glanced up at Xun You and asked, "Is Your Majesty going to kill me, or let me go?" ”

"Miss Wen Ji is so smart, I'm afraid she already thought of the result before she came to the single father, right?" Xun You clasped his hands on his abdomen and said calmly.

Cai Wenji shook her head and chuckled, "How can I have such a great ability, it's just a momentary action." ”

Xun You didn't want to discuss these useless things with a girl in this dark prison house, so he raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty has decreed, Miss Wenji, you can go!" ”

"I'm not leaving!" Cai Wenji said very decisively.

Xun You: ???

"Can I ask why?" Xun You asked.

He suddenly regretted that he had nothing to do to provoke this.

The emperor's temper is stubborn, this woman is simply on par with the emperor.

Why do you really think that you can compete with the emperor with your own talent?

Cai Wenji was still weaving her mat in an orderly manner, and said: "I came here for the draft, if Your Majesty doesn't look down on me, a widow who has lost her husband, I will leave." 若因为我与皇帝的那些争论，我不会走的。 ”

"I confess, I'm guilty!"

Xun You only felt that his temples suddenly jumped wildly, and the whole person was not good, "In that case, Miss Wenji, you can go." ”

Cai Wenji glanced at Xun Yu again, "Are you the emperor?" ”

"Miss Wenji is talking nonsense!" Xun Yu shouted.

"Then you received the emperor's will and knew that the emperor was unwilling to accept me?" Cai Wenji asked again.

Xun You took a deep breath, turned around and left.

In just three words, he has been completely out of temper.

He could now finally understand why the emperor had locked up Cai Wenji in a fit of rage.

The attitude of speaking in this regard should indeed be closed.

……

Xun You, who was closed in front of Cai Wenji, had no choice but to come to the emperor to explain his business.

Liu Wei, who was originally in a depressed mood, couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xun You's embarrassed appearance.

You deserve it, you old fox!

In an instant, he was in a good mood.

"It's all right, if she wants to stay, let her stay, the cell door will be opened, and she will be free to come and go." Liu Wei said.

"Yui!"

Xun You was depressed and really wanted to dig a pit immediately and plant his head in it.

For the sake of this woman, he did not hesitate to anger the emperor in person, and he also made a long speech.

As a result, people didn't appreciate it at all.

What else can be said?

If you talk too much, you will be in tears.

……

Xiahoudun's post station was finally repaired to a single father.

So far, it only takes one and a half days to deliver the message from a single parent to Luoyang.

Every thirty miles, there are transferable horses, and there is no delay along the way.

In the county government of the single father, Liu Wei summoned his personal tutor.

"The construction speed of the post station is far faster than I expected, but what's the difficulty?" Liu Wei asked.

Xiahoudun glanced at the emperor with some distress.

Whoever asks this question sounds like a bully.

He's already cultivated here, and he asks if there's any difficulty, isn't it a little late?

"Your Majesty, there is no difficulty." Xiahoudun sighed faintly in his heart and said, "Most local post stations can be used directly after a little repair, and there are not many new ones, so the progress is much faster." ”

"The post station that I ordered you to build before I left Luoyang, now that I have a single father, you have also reached a single father, and it can be regarded as a beginning and an end." Liu Wei quipped and asked, "Is there anyone under your command who can be used?" ”

“…… Yes! Xiahoudun didn't know what the emperor meant by asking this, so he thought for a while and said.

Liu Wei bowed, "You can explain what you are doing." The construction of post stations in other places, you don't have to continue to do it yourself, the court is the time to employ people, you can come back. ”

"Your Majesty, are you serious?!" Xiahoudun's excited voice instantly became several times louder, and he almost jumped up directly.

When he asked the emperor for his life, he went to war.

As a result, everyone else led the army to kill in all directions, and he, who took the initiative to ask the emperor for his life, could only lead the army to measure the road every day, and then build a post here, repair a post station, and then arrange a group of people to guard there.

This matter has been done for a long time, which makes Xiahoudun a little suspicious, whether the emperor has any prejudice against him.

"What I said is naturally true, can I still lie to you?" Xiahoudun's reaction made Liu Wei quite angry.

What does it mean? Did I lie to you?!

Look at the aggrieved little appearance, it seems that I have bullied you.

Xiahoudun laughed, "That can't, that's definitely not possible." ”

After speaking, he asked very cautiously: "Your Majesty, this time, can the minister go to the battlefield?" ”

Liu Wei didn't understand why Xiahoudun had such an obsession, "Why do you have to think about going to the battlefield?" ”

"Your Majesty, isn't it the duty of a military general to go into battle to kill the enemy, if a military general has no place to use, the minister thinks that he can unload his armor and return to the field." The words spoken by Xiahoudun are correct and round, and the atmosphere is Lingran.

"The insight is good." Liu Wei bowed his head slightly and said, "I meet your thoughts, but there is no war for the time being, you can rest and recuperate for a while." ”

As soon as Xia Houdun heard this reply, he instantly had a feeling that the pigeon was flying.

He did not know what the emperor's promises were to others.

But for him, it really seems that he has never been approved.

"Your Majesty, the minister met my brother Cao Cao in Chenliu, and he said that Lu Bu had betrayed the imperial court, and it was very likely that he would go south to join Liu Biao or Yuan Shu." The unrelenting Xiahoudun decided to create an opportunity for himself to lead his troops to the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, that Lu Fengxian is not an idle person, and his bravery is simply the best of the three armies. Although Cao Cao, the elder brother of the minister, also has some force, and there are generals like Cao Chun under his command, but compared with Lu Bu, I am afraid that it is still a little worse. ”

Liu Wei glanced at Xiahoudun, "Do you want to go?" ”

Xiahoudun nodded frantically.

"There's no need, we don't want to catch and fight, an army of 20,000 is enough to drown Lu Bu!" Liu Wei said.

Xiahoudun cried with a sad face, and continued to insist, "But Your Majesty, whether the generals are brave or not is closely related to the morale of the army. ”

"That's someone else's part!" Liu Wei said, "The army I personally trained in the West Park is not necessary. ”

Xiahoudun suddenly had no reason, this, he really knew.

"You can rest first, you have to fight." Liu Wei said.

It is essentially a good thing that Xiahoudun can have such an obsession.

"Yui!" Xiahoudun, who had nothing to say, had no choice but to respond.

……

When the summer of blooming flowers came, Liu Wei rarely walked out of the single father city.

His outing was on the march, and it was not very beautiful.

This time out of the city can be regarded as a little compensation from Liu Wei to himself.

Take a break from the hustle and bustle of government affairs to see the dazzling prosperity of the outside world.

If war is left aside, it will be an extremely laid-back health resort.

There are mountains and rivers, and the scenery is beautiful.

What's more, it has a very strong cultural heritage.

But after leaving the city, Liu Wei, who was originally going to see the mountain, went to the ground.

Although he repeatedly emphasized that he came out to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

But as soon as I went out, I couldn't help but want to see the farmland.

"I hope that before the rice is ripe, the wind and rain will be smooth." After looking around, Liu Wei muttered.

If there are no more natural disasters, this year should be a good year.

The heavy rains that have been raining for several days some time have had some impact on the cereals, but they are not very large.

Lodging of rice will affect the taste and reduce the yield to a certain extent, but there is no large-scale harm.

The single father's tuntian did not catch up with this year's cultivation, and now he is only doing water diversion and flood control.

In addition to doing these things, Tang Ju's father ordered Tang Ju to spend more time on organizing the people to reclaim the wasteland.

Liu Wei wandered around like this for most of the day, and finally arrived at his real destination out of the city.

The top of the old mountain embankment.

The mountain is not high, it is not big, and it has nothing to do with grandeur.

It is located in the southwest of the single father city, in fact, it takes less than half an hour to reach the city.

Liu Wei almost took a long, long detour to get here.

As soon as he went up the mountain, Liu Wei suddenly heard someone in the mountain singing in harmony, singing loudly.

"I don't know who is so elegant, go up and have a look!" Liu Wei said.

As in Luoyang, Xiahoudun and Yinglin, the two generals beside Liu Bian, immediately guarded Liu Bian's side one after the other, and slowly walked up the mountain.
