Volume 1 Survival in Death Chapter 66 Liu Xie's emotion
"Good guy, this Yuan Shu will really enjoy it!"
At this time, outside the palace hall established by Yuan Shu for his Zhong dynasty, Liu Xie couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion, and his mouth kept smacking.
Looking at the magnificent palace and palace, and thinking about the bleak scene he saw along the way, Liu Xie couldn't help but feel inexplicable in his heart.
"Back then, Dong Cheng also persuaded me to let me repair the Weiyang Palace, but he was strongly dissuaded by Zhang Ji and others.
At first, I was still a little hesitant, thinking that I would not have any impact if I repaired a palace hall.
But today... I looked at the scenery of Huainan and Shouchun now, but I couldn't help but feel that it was dangerous at the beginning..."
Such a magnificent palace, and the halls don't know how much people's and material resources Huainan has spent.
And in this Shouchun City, the mansions of those officials and generals don't know how many rich people they have, and how many people have occupied.
Does this have anything to do with the people?
Of course it has a relationship, you don't see the people of Huainan starving all over the wilderness, I don't know how many bones died tragically because of hunger and cold on both sides of the road?
Looking at the current capital of Chang'an, under the filling of the people, there is a bit of prosperity in the past.
But Liu Xie's palace is still very dilapidated, and under Liu Xie, all the officials and generals, whether they travel or their own mansions, everything is simple.
After all, the palace is there, whether they are pretending or really not caring about things outside of the body, such as money.
As long as you still want to eat this bowl of rice given by Liu Xie, you must abide by this rule, otherwise someone will impeach him immediately.
The rest of the thing... It's the other party and Liu Bei, Xu Huang, Ma Chao and others.
Maybe this is the truth that Zhao Yan told Liu Xie before, the upward trend will be effective!
At this time, Jia Xu looked at Liu Xie, who looked solemnly and emotionally, and couldn't help but chuckle slightly, but did not echo or say anything.
At this time, Liu Bei had already cleaned up the inside and outside of the palace, and asked LΓΌ Dai, Xue Zhou and others to clear the remnants of the enemy in the city, and to collect Shouchun's soldiers and horses and baggage.
Then Ling Chen carefully held the palace, and he took the initiative to greet the past.
"Your Majesty Liu Bei, meet..."
"Xuande, hurry up!" Liu Xie pulled Liu Bei, who was just about to bow down, and looked quite happy, "Xuande has a great merit, there are no outsiders here, there is no need to be like this!" β
"Minister... Thank you, Your Majesty! β
At this time, Liu Bei and Liu Xie had gradually come out of Peiguo's affairs, and Liu Xie had the heart to sincerely change his ways.
And Liu Bei didn't want to really ruin his current situation because of this incident.
Under the tacit understanding of the two people, this matter seems to have passed like this.
Accompanied by Liu Bei, Liu Xie slowly came to the seat that once belonged to Yuan Shao, looking at the magnificent palace, looking at the table and all kinds of decorations.
He couldn't help but sigh.
"This Yuan Highway.... If these things were used on the people of Huainan, he would not have said anything to such a point! β
Today's Liu Xie seems to have seen the relationship between the court and the people more thoroughly.
Do the people matter?
They don't seem to be so important, they pay heavy taxes, and they have to be taken away at every turn to join the army and fight on the battlefield.
In the face of these things, they are powerless to resist, not to mention any wealthy families, even the bullies in the village can be the party to blame, so that they dare not resist.
After a little resistance, it often can't make any waves, and it will be extinguished by the imperial court.
But the people are not important?
Along the way, after seeing Liu Bei's every move, the people almost rushed to join each other, and the cities were quickly opened with their help.
All the way, Liu Bei almost won the situation of lying down and came to this Shouchun City.
Even this Shouchun, it was because of the discouragement of the people that led to the complete collapse of Yuan Shujun's morale, if it weren't for this, it would take some time for them to conquer Shouchun.
After another winter, it's really hard for them to say whether they can hold on or not.
After all... Food and grass are really not enough!
Therefore, Liu Xie understands very well that if it is only a force of the imperial court, maybe one generation of faint monarchs, two generations of faint monarchs, or even generations of faint monarchs may appear.
But if other forces emerge, then the Dusk Emperor can only hasten the demise of the dynasty.
The existence of the traitorous ministers is because there is no external force and contrast, and because the people have no choice.
They may be greedy for life and afraid of death, want to enjoy but don't want to give, want others to sit back and enjoy their fruits for their hope, and want to share the land and wealth for nothing.
Want a lot, a lot ...
These seemingly shameful and even ridiculous things have happened in the past and in the future.
Because careerists and virtuous saints will give them what they want, and thus use them everywhere to overthrow this corrupt force...
"Sure enough, it is necessary to strike iron and need its own hardness, Yuan Highway today's matter, let me keep it in mind, and we must not repeat its mistakes!"
"Your Majesty Shengming!" At this time, Liu Bei and Jia Xu also bowed down directly to make peace, and they were extremely satisfied with Liu Xie's feelings.
"Your Majesty!" After Shengming, Liu Bei also stood up again, "Although Yuan Shu fled, the minister has already ordered Meng Qi and Bo Zhan to go to ambush.
If you think about it, Yuan Shu can't escape!
As for Yang Hong and Yuan Yao, who fled to Chengde Zhang Xun..."
When he said this, Liu Bei reluctantly set his eyes on Jia Xu, and he had to find Jia Xu for this matter.
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured, they will definitely escape!"
Jia Xu's words directly made Liu Xie's face twitch.
This Jia Xu had long expected that after Yuan Shu escaped, there would definitely be others left behind after Shouchun was broken, but those people in Shouchun were still willing to die for him, but very little.
In this case, it is more likely that these people used Yuan Shu to attract their attention and escape.
Jia Xu swore to Liu Xie before and asked him to deal with this matter, but as a result... That's how he handled?
At this time, Liu Xie's heart was like a thousand horses galloping by, and then he looked at Jia Xu with a smile.
"Wenhe..."
If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, now... I'll have to beat you up!
Looking at Liu Xie's smiling face, Jia Xu just chuckled and bowed slightly.
"Your Majesty, in addition to taking away Yuan Yao and those family members of the Yuan family, what else did those people take away?"
"Huh?"
"Grain, money, baggage, soldiers and horses... They took almost nothing with them, they just ran away!
This escape... What use can such people be to Your Majesty? β
"Hmm...."Liu Xie was stunned by Jia Xu's words, and some of them didn't react, "This is all about eliminating evil..."
"The evil is all about preventing them from resurrecting, but now that the jade seal has returned to His Majesty's hands, Yuan Shu is also approaching his death, and the people of Huainan are devastated, and the Yuan family has now stripped Yuan Shu of the family tree.
What else do they have to do to resurrect it?
Could it be that His Majesty chased and beat them fiercely, and the final result was to kill them, and it was impossible to vent his anger? β
"It's... It doesn't have to, and I don't... That's not right! Liu Xie suddenly came back to his senses, looking at Jia Xu's gaze even more weird and tangled, "I don't need to kill them to vent my anger."
But I don't need to let them go like that! β
"Your Majesty is very right, we naturally don't need to let them go, but there is also a charter for killing.
If we chase and kill now, then although the final result will be that many people will be killed, it will also make them scatter and flee, and when the time comes, it will be a big trouble for us to hide in Huainan.
And there are only two places that these people ultimately target.
Either Liu Xun, who defected to Nalujiang to defend himself, or Sun Ce, who defected to Najiangdong to stand on his own.
Other than that, there is no place for them.
And Liu Xun and Sun Ce, whether it is for their own reputation or for the soldiers and horses in the hands of Zhang Xun and so on, they will give them a way out.
If we chase them down now and defeat them directly, then their routs will flee directly towards Lujiang and other places.
In the end, it boosted the strength of Liu Xun and Sun Ce, and made me wait to cross the river and move west in the future.
But what if they were just allowed to enter the Lujiang River?
Liu Xun will not let them go, Sun Ce will not let them go, and Zhang Xun will not just sit back and watch himself being set up and then losing his troops.
At that time, Lujiang will be in chaos, no matter whether we take advantage of the situation to attack Lujiang, or directly take advantage of the chaos to cross the river, it will be beneficial and harmless.
That's why the old minister said that they would definitely be able to escape, and even the old minister wanted to advise His Majesty... Let General Xu Huang let them go, don't kill Zhang Xun on impulse..."
"Hmm...."Liu Xie finally reacted at this time, and then nodded slowly, "What Wen He said makes some sense, hmm... I'll give the order! β
Soon, the affairs of these fleeing people were also dealt with, and Liu Xie also began to meet with some captives in Shouchun City.
The most important of them is the strategist Yan Xiang, who once strongly recommended Yuan Shu not to be the emperor, and was finally shelved and neglected!
As one of the few strategists in Yuan Shu's hands, he once helped Yuan Shu occupy the position of the first prince in the world in one fell swoop.
Although he and Yang Hong are really unrecognized in some places, their abilities do not need to be said.
At this time, Yan Xiang was sent to the main hall by Chen Zhihua, bowed his head and closed his eyes, and didn't want to look at Liu Bei and the others in front of him at all.
Even interrupted Liu Bei directly when he just spoke.
"The old man is a rebellious minister, is it difficult for you Liu Xuande to persuade the old man to surrender?
If you persuade the old man to surrender, how will you explain to His Majesty in Chang'an City?
You.."
"Xuande doesn't need to explain to me, I want to persuade you to surrender!"
