Chapter 1868 Fail to draw a tiger
Bowangyuan is located in the south of Chang'an. If you leave the city from Dumen, you can reach it by walking five miles south along Ducheng Avenue. However, Xun Yu left the city from Anmen today. Before arriving at Bowangyuan, he passed through the adjacent Taixue and Biyong, and then turned east to reach Bowangyuan.
There were no students in the Imperial Academy, and Piyong was abandoned for a long time, with wild grass growing and crows appearing. You could feel the decay without getting off the bus. Xun Yu looked at it from afar, his mood became even more depressed, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Jiang Gan smiled. "Share you don't have to do this. Although Chang'an is dilapidated, it happened two hundred years ago, much better than Luoyang."
Xun Yu glared at Jiang Gan with annoyance. "Luoyang is ruined, are you very happy?"
Jiang Gan shook his head. "I want to add a crime to you, so why not refusal. Although I, Jiang Gan, had gone to Luoyang, I, but I did not seek a job, but I was just a commoner. I have not destroyed every grass and tree in Luoyang, and I don't have to bear any responsibility for it. Naturally, I don't have to feel guilty. But I can't let you guys have great power at that time."
Jiang Gan said, laughing out loud. Xun Yu was ashamed of his own secretly and could not refute, so he could only sigh softly. "You are right, I am indeed unforgivable. It is precisely because of this that I hope that the Han Dynasty can revive. Only when the king is wise and the ministers are wise and the politics are clear, can the people live and work in peace. What is the point of using violence and violence? In the end, it is not the rise and fall of the same surname, what does it have to do with the people of the world? I am sad that the Qin and Han dynasties have been used as the palaces. Rise, the people suffer, and the people suffer. Wu Hou is a knowledgeable person who has such words of compassion for the world, but once it involves his own honor and disgrace, it is no different from ordinary people."
Jiang Gan smiled and shook his head repeatedly. "I am sorry that I can't agree."
Xun Yu looked at Jiang Gan. "Why did Ziyi come up with this dialect?"
"Lingjun is known as a king and a disciple. He is a wise man who is not born in the world. He knows the small things, knows them before he knows them, and knows them. Even if you have not met Wu Hou and cannot measure the depth, can you not hear his words, observe his actions, and see his ambitions? You said that Wu Hou is no different from ordinary people, so how can Mr. Zhang Zigang, who made an appointment with Lingjun, be respectful to his brother Xun Youruo, follow his son Xun Gongda, respect his friend Guo Fengxiao, and Xin Zhuozhi has no eyes?"
Xun Yu's face turned slightly red and bowed to him. "I dare to ask Ziyi for advice."
"Don't dare." Jiang Gan sat upright and returned a tribute. "As Lingjun said, Wu Hou is also a human being. He also needs to dress and eat, start a family and start a business, and do his best to make a living for the rise and fall of the family. But not only that, he has higher ambitions. He not only has higher ambitions, but also the ability to realize these ambitions."
Xun Yu said nothing and looked at Jiang Gan quietly.
"I know, the emperor feels that although he is young, he is extremely heroic and has the appearance of a wise king. Therefore, he assists with all his heart and wants to revive the Han Dynasty and bring peace to the world. However, the Marquis of Wu is his great enemy and the biggest obstacle to the revival. But have you ever thought that the Emperor may not be as good as you thought. All of this is just an imitation of the Marquis of Wu, and he cannot learn from his family. He can't become a dog without becoming a tiger. The so-called achievements are nothing more than the beauty of plundering people?"
Xun Yu sneered, disagreed.
Jiang Gan also snorted to respond. He bent his fingers and tapped the desk lightly. "It seems that the lord is unwilling to admit it. Well, let me ask you a few questions: Guanzhong Bank's new policy and building workshops, are you imitating Wu Hou?"
Xun Yu nodded. "It is of course to follow the best."
"Admiring women, balancing yin and yang, changing customs and customs, are you following in the footsteps of the Marquis of Wu?"
Xun Yu hesitated for a moment. "…yes."
"These two items were learned from Wu Hou, but have you learned them well?"
Xun Yu didn't say anything. He was the main promoter of Guanzhong's new policy. He knew best how it was implemented. The workshop was built, and its technical level was always inferior to Nanyang. There was also a little respect for women, but it was far from Sun Ce. He was polite to say that he was a tiger but a tiger was not a good person.
"The emperor's Western Expedition is known as a great victory, but you should know more about how many achievements are behind this great victory and how much comparison is with the Marquis of Wu. I just want to ask, if there is no Nanyang armory, will the emperor dare to cross Longshan one step?"
"Although the weapons of Nanyang are good, the great victory of the emperor in the Western Expedition is not all due to weapons..."
Jiang Gan laughed silently, with a joking expression. "That was not what you said when you asked me for golden silk and brocade armor."
Xun Yu was blushed and embarrassed. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he knew in his heart that the reason why he finally agreed to the emperor's Western Expedition, Liu Ye dared to advise the Emperor to fight when the Xianbei invaded the territory, and finally could win the battle, Nanyang's military armour played a great role. The golden silk and brocade armor sent by Sun Ce, the Yulin Cavalry equipped with Yang Biao's 300 million yuan, and the elite cavalry owned by Ma Teng and Han Sui were the greatest reliance. Even before this, Sun Ce pacified Liaodong in a battle, and Taishici's brilliant achievements in sweeping the Xianbei in the eastern part played an important role. It was Sun Ce and Taishici's achievements that made them realize the huge advantages of new equipment, and Liu Ye dared to fight the Xianbei people head-on and achieve a great victory in the Western Expedition, rather than being just a sign.
They have been following Sun Ce.
"You have been learning, but you are unwilling to admit it, and you have gone astray." Jiang Gan continued: "Wu Hou is the king's way, you are the domineering. Wu Hou reads Mencius, and the emperor reads Xunzi. Wu Hou treats scholars well, and you are compromising the people of Liangzhou. Lingjun, Yang Wen sells 300 million yuan for himself, Huang Gongyan would rather be captured, and Zhao Bingqing is stunned and does not return. Don't you think this can explain the problem? Are they all ignorant and unable to tell the difference? Isn't it too wrong for the court to send them on envoys?"
Xun Yu's face was pale and speechless.
"There are so many household registrations, the amount of money and grain, the essence of armor, the courage of soldiers, and the support of the people. Which of you can compare with the Marquis of Wu? Are you relying on the terrain of Guanzhong? But don't forget that Emperor Gaozu defeated the tyrant Qin and Emperor Guangwu defeated Xinmang, all from east to west. Although the mountain of Wu is high and the valley of Han is dangerous, how long can it be blocked? Marquis of Wu wants to take the world like a palm, but the reason why he is willing to enter the dynasty was to shed less blood and leave some blood and food for the Han family. He wants to conquer the world, which is indeed related to the honor of the surname, but if you think it is just like this, then you are wrong. The so-called sparrow knows the ambition of a swan is exactly what the ruler is."
Jiang Gan knocked on the car window, asked the driver to stop, bowed and opened the car door, stared at Xun Yu. Xun Yu's blood surged upwards, and his white face turned red.
"Jiang Ziyi, what do you mean?"
"The way is different, and I don't plan to each other, so I will leave you here. Please tell Your Majesty that this is the last chance. The opportunity must not be missed, and the time will not come again. When the Marquis of Wu is at the city, it will be too late for you to regret it."
"Are you threatening the court?" Xun Yu shouted sternly.
"You say yes, that's it." Jiang Gan shrugged, his expression calmly.
Xun Yu was speechless, got up and got out of the car, swayed his sleeves, and walked towards his carriage with great strides. His carriage also stopped. Dong Qing walked out of the carriage and bowed to Xun Yu when he passed by. Xun Yu was angry and had no time to pay attention to him. He rushed into the carriage like an angry tiger, and closed the door with a "bang". Dong Qing was dismayed and for no reason. He returned to Jiang Gan's carriage. Just as he was about to ask, Jiang Gan knocked on the wall of the carriage, and the carriage started again, fell in a direction, and left.
Xun Yu was sitting in the car, trembling all over, panting, and his chest was fluctuating violently. Mrs. Tang was not understanding the meaning and was not easy to ask, so she had to sit beside him, stroke his back, and persuade him softly. After a while, Xun Yu slowly calmed down. He leaned against the wall of the car, his eyes were dull, and his face was a little gray, as if he had just grown ten years old.
"Go back to the city."
"Don't go to Bowangyuan?"
"No more, we have no chance to move into our new residence." Xun Yu waved his hand powerlessly. "Sun Ce is coming."
——
The emperor was surprised to see Xun Yu walking quickly, and rushed forward two steps, stretched out his hand to support him. "Lingjun, what happened?"
"Your Majesty, have you received Zhao Qi's memorial?"
The emperor shook his head. "Is Zhao Qi a memorial here?"
Xun Yu turned around and said to Cao Pi, who was beside him, "Go to the secretary's desk and ask Liu Lingjun if there is any news." Cao Pi looked at the emperor, and the emperor nodded. Cao Pi did not dare to be negligent and went there as if he was flying. Xun Yu took advantage of this time to briefly explain the content of the memorial that Jiang Gan showed him, focusing on analyzing Sun Ce's intention: to compete for public opinion.
The emperor's eyes shrank, the blue veins at the corners of his eyes bulged, and even his eyes were filled with blood and red. He hissed: "Jiang Gan... do you really say that?"
"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter what Jiang Gan said. What's important is that once Zhao Qi's memorial is printed in the world, His Majesty will be placed in an embarrassing place. Once the response is inappropriate, the responsibility for provoking the war will be with the court."
The emperor sneered: "So what?"
Xun Yu looked at the emperor in shock, not knowing what to say for a moment. The emperor also realized that he had lost his composure and quickly squeezed out a smile and explained: "Lingjun, don't be anxious. I don't think this matter is as serious as you think. No matter what Sun Ce thought, he does not have the strength to attack Guanzhong. The military strategy says: I cannot win, but I can win in the enemy. Instead of worrying about Sun Ce's tricks, it is better to think about how to stabilize Guanzhong and keep the enemy outside the door."
"Your Majesty said very much."
Liu Ye walked in quickly, holding a memorial in his hand. Cao Pi followed behind him with sweat all the way. Liu Ye walked to the emperor, saluted the emperor, and greeted Xun Yu, and gave the memorial in his hand to the emperor. This was exactly the memorial written by Zhao Qi. The emperor quickly scanned it, which was almost the same as what Xun Yu said. With the previous preparations, he seemed very calm at this moment.
"What's the clever plan for Ziyang?"
"Accept Mr. Zhao's suggestion and summon Sun Ce to the court to see if he dares to come."
Xun Yu asked, "What if he dares to come?"
