"The emperor was born into a family of prime ministers and ministers, and helped the world with his loyalty and righteousness. Now that the emperor has been displaced and the ancestral temple has been defeated, it is appropriate to serve the country and continue with orthodoxy." Jushu's attitude was very clear, that is, he recognized the legitimacy and status of the emperor, but he
A question was asked here, and before I even mentioned the benefits, I was interrupted by someone else.
"That's wrong."
Everyone looked up and saw a military attache in a crimson robe coming out from the side and boasting: "The country and the imperial court are far apart, and there has been no news for many years. I heard that at the end of April, the country was seriously ill. He is due to die soon."
In the meantime, the pain will be healed."
This person is Chunyu Qiong, courtesy name Zhongjian, from Yingchuan. He is one of the eight captains of Xiyuan appointed by Emperor Xiaoling. He is in the same rank as Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others. Later, he followed Yuan Shao in raising troops to fight in Hebei and became a member of his command.
A brave general.
Chunyu Qiong considers herself an old man who started his career following Yuan Shao. Relying on his friendship and status with Yuan Shao in Luoyang, and because he has some strategies in his mind, he likes to offer advice and suggestions on everything, and he obviously overpowers the local scholars in Jizhou. Yuan Shao
I don't think there's anything wrong with it, I just let it be.
Just listen to him speaking lightly: "After that, the country showed insights and was more far-sighted than ordinary people. There are even rumors that"
"shut up"
Chunyu Qiong was stunned for a moment, and when she looked back, she saw a man about thirty or forty years old, with a square face and thick eyebrows, a straight nose and deep eyes, with an expression of calm and self-respect on his face. The large black robe could only barely cover it.
With his short and fat body, this man took a step forward.
He is none other than Jizhou Biejia Tian Feng, courtesy name Yuan Hao, from Julu. He has an upright and strong character, and likes to come up with strange plans. He is quite prestigious in Jizhou, and he was the counselor Yuan Shao attracted after he obtained Jizhou.
"The country is in Chang'an, and the angel is outside the city. How dare you say such treacherous words, are you going to bring trouble to the envoy?" Tian Feng criticized unceremoniously.
Chunyu Qiong's face turned red and white, and he said angrily: "Now the Han Dynasty has lost its way, rebellions are rising all over the world, and the country was founded by the traitor Dong Zhuo. I don't know where it came from. I don't know whether he is still alive. Just rely on Pei Mao."
Just say a few empty words and you will be able to win our full support."
"These are village women's gossip, you should take it seriously." After Tian Feng refuted it, he bowed to Yuan Shao again and said: "Xunzi once said that flowing pills will stop in a moment, and rumors will stop in a wise man. This will make you famous in the world and become a scholar in the world.
As a human being, naturally you won’t listen to such words.”
Yuan Shao knew that Tian Feng was doing the same as Ju Shou, implying that he recognized the legal status of the emperor and the court and gave up the unrealistic fantasy of supporting Liu Yu. Even though Yuan Shao had already made such a calculation in his mind, after hearing
After Tian Feng's not very tactful words, he still felt a little unhappy in his heart.
In private letters to Yuan Shu and others, he could slander the emperor's bloodline at will, but in front of everyone, Yuan Shao would naturally not do such a stupid move. He nodded pretending to be profound and said: "Those gossips are baseless.
According to the evidence, just pay it. As officials of the Han Dynasty, how can we believe this rumor?"
Seeing Chunyu Qiong walking back to the queue with a frustrated expression, Yuan Shao turned to look at Tian Feng and asked politely: "I don't know what Yuan Hao has to say?"
This was actually asking what benefits would be brought to Yuan Shao by acknowledging the emperor's status. Tian Feng glanced at Ju Shou and followed what he wanted to say: "Nowadays, in the name of promoting righteous soldiers, the pastoral guards of various prefectures and counties conduct
The reality of the annexation is that no one can fulfill the responsibility of calming the place and calming the people. Only the general, sitting in Jizhou, with abundant soldiers and armor, can shoulder the heavy responsibility, set an example for the world, and serve the great leader."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
There was a lot of talk for a while, and even Yuan Shao couldn't help but cough a few times before suppressing it. He looked at Tian Feng carefully, but he didn't understand what the other party meant, and asked calmly: "If you say support the country and respect the angels,
That's easy to say. It's just that Yuan Hao wanted me to welcome him back for some reason."
"Guanzhong has been in ruins after several Qiang rebellions, and it is a long way from the Central Plains. Why don't you go to Shu and ask the court to move back to Luoyang, or build another palace in Yecheng as a new capital?" Tian Feng said with enthusiasm:
"Whether the imperial court is in Ye or Luo, it will be under the control of the envoy. It is said that the emperor is holding the emperor in order to command the princes, and the troops and horses are amassed to fight against the ministers. By then, who else can resist the power of the envoy?"

What Tian Feng said made Ju Shou nod his head repeatedly, and he was convinced. Even Yuan Shao persuaded him, and his blood was boiling, as if he saw that a hegemony that would go down in history was about to be completed under his own hands.
He was about to nod his head in approval when Chunyu Qiong said dissatisfiedly: "The Han Dynasty has been in decline for a long time. Even if the country has extraordinary achievements, it is not easy to revitalize it. Furthermore, today's heroes are emerging together, each occupying prefectures and counties.
, tens of thousands of people gathered, who would listen to the emperor’s orders?”
Smart people know that the world is no longer what it was back then. It is easy to chaos but difficult to rule the world. The princes from all over the country have become accustomed to the days of power, self-exclusiveness, separatism and hegemony. Now it is not allowed for them to serve the Han Lord again.
Something that can be done with just one edict.
Now that the prestige of the Han Dynasty has declined, the importance of the emperor's flag is negligible.
Chunyu Qiong saw that her words made everyone fall silent and fell into thinking, and she suddenly felt satisfied.
Yuan Shao's originally determined heart began to waver at this time. He was not a very independent person, and he also believed that Chunyu Qiong was right. The power of the Han Dynasty was no longer what it used to be, and there seemed to be no benefit in helping him.
picture.
What's more, Yuan Shao was originally very biased against Liu Xie as emperor. Out of personal interests, he was more inclined to make Liu Yu the emperor. Liu Yuxian was well-known, gentle and generous, and he was a member of the Han Dynasty, so he ascended the throne.
It will be very popular later. Secondly, Liu Yu also leads Youzhou Mu, with a hundred thousand cavalry under his command. If the two families merge, with Youji's elite troops, he can conquer the whole world, not to mention Hebei.
This is no better than flattering Liu Xie, whom you don’t like.
It was a pity that Liu Yu was loyal to the Han Dynasty and abided by his duties, and Gongsun Zan tried his best to obstruct it, which caused Yuan Shao's plan to fail. Despite this, Yuan Shao still had no good impression of the so-called emperor in Chang'an City. Liu Xie was Dong Zhuo.
They raised the rebels in the first place to fight against Dong. In that case, why should they listen to the orders of the emperor Dong Zhuoli now?
Seeing that Yuan Shao was hesitating, Guo Tu, the counselor under the tent, immediately saw the opportunity and said: "What Chunyu Zhongjian said is reasonable. This is Qin losing its deer, and the whole world is chasing him. Now that the emperor has taken over, he will often write to the emperor in the future to hear about it."
It will be done. If you obey, you will be restrained. If you don't obey, you will disobey. This is not a good plan."
