"Although it is a plausible statement, it can be even more unintelligent; it is just a matter of words."
"Dong Zhuo was in great power at that time, and all parties were defeated and could not advance." Xun Chen suddenly bowed his head to the ground, leaning his head on the back of his hands and said: "Mr. Liu is willing to dedicate himself to the royal family and give up his position. This is true for a moment of loyalty. But why force Yuan Shijun?"
Entering a land of injustice? Yuan Shijun was neither treason nor usurpation. He just wanted to support the eldest monarch and restore peace to the world when he did not know the safety of his young master. This is the same as when he gathered troops to attack Dong. Could it be that the Guandong princes
Shouldn't your Majesty raise an army of rebels and let Dong Zhuo indulge in his arrogance?"
"Wrong reason, wrong reason!"
Liu Yu was so angry that he was trembling with anger at Xun Chen's words. He pointed at Xun Chen, eager to refute Xun Chen's heresy, but he didn't know where to start. According to Xun Chen's words, Yuan Shao would indeed be able to get rid of the problem by appointing a new leader of the Han Dynasty.
Dong Zhuo's control of the court seemed to be able to restore stability to the world.
Did Lulin and Chimei really support Liu Xuan and Liu Penzi out of loyalty? Didn't they want to use the banner of the Liu family to rebel against the Liu family? What kind of faces are these Guandong scholars? They have been hiding in their hearts for a long time.
He knew exactly what he was thinking, but how could he easily believe it.
Pei Mao on the side was calmer than Liu Yu. He said softly: "You Ruo, is this why you came here today?"
Xun Chen was startled, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out behind him. If he missed the important task entrusted to him by Yuan Shao just to show off his words, wouldn't it be a small loss that would be too late to regret it? He seemed to have just discovered this.
I apologized for my recklessness and said: "My words were violent and I was careless. Please forgive me!"
"Humph!" Liu Yu sneered and stared at Xun Chen with an unkind expression.
"What Yuan Jizhou has done in the past two years, whether it is good or bad, is seen by all the scholars in the world." Although Pei Mao moved the capital to Chang'an with the imperial court and was isolated from information, since he was sent as an envoy, he had heard from hearsay that he knew about Yuan Shao.
And what the princes of Guandong have done in these years.
Although Yuan Shao's attempt to establish a separate central government and support the clan is terrifying, upon closer inspection, this is not within the scope of Pei Mao's authority. His task is only to issue an edict to Yuan Shao, recognize each other's legal status, and mediate the relationship between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan.
contradiction.
Therefore, when Pei Mao first arrived in Yecheng, he turned a deaf ear to Yuan Shao's plan to support him. He only waited to return to Luoyang and join hands with another angel Zhao Qi to make a report to remind the emperor and the court to pay attention to this matter.
The top priority right now is to leave Yecheng, a place of right and wrong, as soon as possible. It is not the time to investigate the responsibility. So Pei Mao did not say anything. After taking a sip of warm water, he said: "The imperial court has its own conclusion on this, whether to issue a book of precepts or not."
, it all depends on His Majesty’s wishes. Before that, Yuan Jizhou should be informed and explain his reasons to avoid misunderstanding by the court. What do you think?”
"Only."
Pei Mao looked at Xun Chen with deep meaning and said nothing.
Xun Chen reacted immediately, and could only smile sarcastically on his face, and said awkwardly: "I was so confused that I forgot to talk about the business. I came here today mainly to listen to the doctor who said that Mr. Pei has rested enough these days, so that his heart disease has not been resolved.
Apply it to your body, and your body and mind will no longer suffer any serious problems, and you can travel far."
Pei Mao smiled. Xun Chen looked at Pei Mao's smile and suddenly felt that this man was a deep man and was harder to deal with than the loyal Liu Yu: "But the doctor said that I have a heart disease, so I'm afraid I will have to be detained for a while."
Not only Xun Chen, but also Liu Yu were stunned by these words. Since there was no communication in advance, even Liu Yu didn't understand what Pei Mao was thinking.
"Well, the doctor said that he has recovered enough in the past few days and his body is fine. Mr. Pei does not need to worry about this." Xun Chen repeated what he said.
"Really?" Pei Mao said noncommittally. He quietly pulled Liu Yu's clothes under the desk to signal him to calm down. Then he made a careful look and said: "Human diseases are related to
You must not be careless when it comes to life and death. I think it is better to stay here in Yuan Jizhou for a few more days to fully recuperate your energy and it will not be too late to leave."
Xun Chen heard that Pei Mao's tone was not very friendly, but he knew the other person's character, so he would not resent Yuan Shao's attitude and behavior towards them at this time. Unless it was
He seemed to have thought of something, and immediately replied: "What Mr. Pei said should be true, but the imperial court has issued an edict, saying that Mr. Pei should return to Beijing early to hand over the mission. In my opinion, such a major event should not be delayed.
Long."
Seeing that the other party carried out the imperial edict, Pei Mao couldn't help but look at each other and Liu Yu saw a look of joy in each other's eyes.
"Which messenger from the imperial court delivered the edict?" Pei Mao suppressed his excitement and said in a deep voice.
Xun Chen answered truthfully: "It's the visitor Zhongji, and the imperial physician Ji Pi is accompanying him. The envoy arrived at Chaoge, Hanoi County yesterday, and Yuan Shijun has sent someone to greet him."
Flattery is a lie, sending people there to test the court's attitude and delaying time to think about countermeasures is real. Of course, Xun Chen was not stupid enough to tell Yuan Shao and others' real plans, and only picked out the useful ones.
Zhong Ji was born in Luoyang, Henan. He was from the same clan as Zhong Fu, who was transferred to the city gate school by Taichang, and Zhong Shao, the servant. Pei Mao knew the origin of the other party, and he knew a little bit about the attitude of the imperial court.
Pei Mao stopped trying to excuse himself and said, "Since the emperor has issued an edict, we will act accordingly even if we are seriously ill."
Xun Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and a huge stone fell to the ground in his heart. After exchanging a few pleasant words with Pei Mao and others, and barely achieving the purpose of his trip, he said goodbye and left.
Liu Yu was very excited. Seeing that there was no one else in the hall, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. He felt relieved from the stagnation in his heart for many days, and said cheerfully: "It's done! Zitai, get ready to pack your bags. I'll be there soon."
Back to Chang'an."
Tian Chou readily accepted the order. Although he was a majestic cavalry captain, in front of Liu Yu, who was both a high-ranking official and the person who recommended the master, he always accompanied him and took care of him, and he acted like a butler with all his heart and soul.
Liu Yu said to Pei Mao: "It seems that no matter how strong Yuan Shao is, once this edict is issued, he will have nothing to say."
Pei Mao glanced at Liu Yu and couldn't help but said: "The governors of the Guandong states have not understood the imperial edicts for many years and are very good at it. How can they obey orders just after an edict is written?"
Liu Yu thought for a while and realized that this was the truth. He said gently: "If it wasn't because of this, then what made him change his mind?"
Pei Mao was very scheming and limited in his knowledge, so he couldn't figure it out for a moment. He didn't answer, but shook his head gently.
