Although Yang Biao felt uneasy, these were his own conjectures and were definitely not stated explicitly by the emperor. It was not good for him to refute them in front of Duan Xuan and Jia Xu, lest he be misunderstood that he had any opinions about Duan Xuan and miss the main business.
"Your Majesty has ambitions, and I should do my best to assist Bi and bring justice, and I dare not be selfish." Yang Biao said respectfully.
Liu Xie secretly raised his thumb.
An old fox is an old fox, leaving no flaws.
However, if you think that I am just happy with my mouth, then you should keep things simple.
Liu Xie turned to Duan Xuan and Jia Xu said: "The fourth and third Dukes of Yang are famous all over the world. With his help, this matter is half done. The remaining half falls on your shoulders. Work hard!"
Duan Xuan didn't understand those vague words. He only thought that Liu Xie was talking about clearing Duan Jiong's name and protecting his wealth. He was happy and thanked him repeatedly. But Jia Xu heard what Liu Xie and Yang Biao said.
The complex meaning behind it can't help but move my imagination.
Although their true intentions are not yet clear, the conflict is so intense that it should not be as simple as acting it out for them.
Perhaps an opportunity for change is just around the corner?
Jia Xu made a decision almost instantly. He had to find out what the emperor was thinking and confirm whether his guess was correct.
"I am so virtuous and talented. I am so honored by your majesty. I am ashamed. I am ashamed." Jia Xu bowed his hands in greeting.
"Hahaha..." Liu Xie laughed, holding Duan Yan's arm with one hand and Jia Xu's arm with the other. "Jia Jun, I have a question, which may be a bit presumptuous."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"Are you really Mr. Duan's nephew?"
Jia Xu was slightly startled. "Why did your Majesty say this?"
"I heard someone say that when you resigned due to illness and returned to Liangzhou, you encountered thieves on the way and relied on Duan Gong's reputation to escape."
Jia Xu laughed dumbly and shook his hand. "I didn't expect that Your Majesty knew about this. I am really ashamed." He paused and then said: "Although I and the Duan family belong to the same county, they have no blood. At that time, I entrusted Duke Duan to
The name of nephew is just a matter of convenience."
"That's such a pity. When he shines in Japanese and Japanese, the Wuwei Duan family can't be honored." Liu Xie turned to Duan Xuan and said solemnly: "General, you have to work hard, can the Wuwei Duan family's reputation be maintained?"
The fall will all fall on the shoulders of the general."
Duan Xuan laughed and didn't take it seriously.
Although Jia Xu is smart, he is from Liangzhou. Now the situation is urgent, and the emperor has to give him three points. In the future, when the situation is stable, there will be no place for Jia Xu in a court full of Guandong people. Even if the emperor thinks highly of him, it will not help.
At that time, Emperor Xiaoling also valued Gai Xun, but Gai Xun was still marginalized by the Guandong people and his position was not as high as Jiuqing.
Wuwei Duan family needs to cling to Jia Xu? Ridiculous.
Jia Xu's mood was a bit complicated.
Although the emperor's move does not rule out the possibility of killing him, the emperor's ability to come to Duan Yan's camp in person to see him has already shown his sincerity.
Not to mention promising him wealth in front of everyone.
The opportunity is right in front of you, do you want to seize it?
It stands to reason that the kindness of knowledge and encounter should be repaid by a spring of water, not to mention that Bole is the supreme emperor in the world. Meeting a wise king is the luck that countless ministers dream of.
But he knew very well that this road was full of thorns and not easy to walk.
The Han Dynasty has accumulated many shortcomings. How easy is it to revive China?
It is easy to defeat Li Jue, Guo Si and others, but it is extremely difficult to get rid of the accumulated evils. Throughout the ages, regardless of success or failure, most of the reformers did not end well. Wu Qi and Shang Yang were all examples.
Jia Xu was in a trance for a moment.
Everyone was confused and at a loss, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Liu Xie also became a little nervous.
Are you too impatient?
With Jia Xu's intelligence, even if he couldn't guess everything, he could still understand the complexity and difficulty of the situation. And with his old tortoise nature of being able to be stubborn, would he be deterred by this? He would simply shrink his neck and remain stubborn until the end.
?
Liu Xie turned to look at Duan Xuan.
Duan Xuan understood, lowered his face, and coughed majestically. "Wen He, you must not be rude in front of His Majesty."
Jia Xu was startled, came to his senses, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. "I was thinking for a moment, and I was discourteous before you. Please punish me."
"Oh?" Liu Xie took advantage of the situation and took Jia Xu's arm and walked forward slowly. "Why don't Jia Jun tell you what you think, and then I will decide whether to punish him or not."
"The people I am thinking of are Jia Yi, Dong Zhongshu, Liu Xiang and Huan Tan."
Liu Xie didn't understand for a moment. Are these four people... connected in any way?
But he thought of another familiar trick. Historically, when Cao Cao asked about the time, Jia Xu used this trick to dissuade Cao Cao from deposing his elders and establishing direct descendants, using the examples of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao.
Although history has not happened yet, the gene of avoiding direct answers and preferring to make insinuating remarks is hidden in Jia Xu's bones.
Based on this routine, Liu Xie quickly understood the implication of Jia Xu's words.
These four people have at least two things in common: they were all important promoters of the development of Confucianism in the Han Dynasty, and they all had to die a good death.
Therefore, it can be roughly inferred that Jia Xu's gene for fearing death is at work.
But it doesn't matter, I have already prepared, I will not give you a chance, I will definitely force you onto my pirate ship.
"Are Jia Jun's Jia and Jia Yi's Jia the same Jia?"
"So the old legend is like this, but there is no solid evidence." Jia Xu said lightly.
"How many generations have your Jia family been in Wuwei?"
Jia Xu pondered for a moment, "About seven or eight."
“How many ancestors’ tombs are there?”
"There are about hundreds of ancestors throughout the generations."
"Duan Gong massacred the West back then. If the imperial court abandoned Liang and Liangzhou became a place for Qiang people to herd horses, the Duan family's ancestral tombs would not be spared. Will the hundreds of tombs of Jia Jun's ancestors also be affected?"
Jia Xu was stunned and stopped subconsciously. "Your Majesty, do you intend to abandon Liang?"
Liu Xie shook his head. "If I want to abandon Liang, why should I come to see Jia Jun? But the Han Dynasty is in danger. It is hard to say how many years it can last. Once the Han Dynasty is exhausted and Shandong has a new emperor, will Jia Jun abandon Liang?
Can it be predicted?"
Jia Xu's expression changed again.
Unlike Duan Xuan and others, he had a deep understanding of the court's discussion of abandoning Liang.
Since Guangwu's reign, there have been many discussions about abandoning Liang, and it has been raised to the level of court discussion five times. There have been countless private discussions, and most of the main initiators are from Guandong.
The Guandong people bullied the Liangzhou people and forced the Han Qiang in Liangzhou to rebel. Then they regarded Liangzhou as a burden and wanted to abandon it. If it weren't for Ma Yuan, Yu Xu and others to fight for it, there would be others represented by Liangzhou Sanming.
The soldiers of Liangzhou fought on the front line to quell the Qiang rebellion and maintained the stability of Liangzhou, which had long been reduced to a foreign land.
If the Han dynasty dies, Yuan Shao is most likely to be the emperor in Guandong.
Yuan Shao was the representative of the scholar-bureaucrats in Guandong and had always despised the people of Liangzhou, so abandoning Liang was almost an inevitable choice.
Once the imperial court abandons Liang, it will not only be a matter of ruined ancestral tombs, but also all the people in Liangzhou - including Jia Xu - will become barbarians. Don't even think about gaining a foothold in the new dynasty. Wang Yun will kill all the people in Liangzhou.
Your unfulfilled wish may become a reality.
out on a limb.
Jia Xu couldn't help but sigh.
The world is so big that there is no place for me, Jia Xu, to stand upright.
Jia Xu turned his head slightly and looked at Liu Xie's half-smiling face. His cheeks couldn't help but twitch, and he felt an inexplicable strange feeling.
The emperor's facial features in front of him were the same as before, but the look in his eyes was completely different.
If the emperor in the past was a young dragon struggling to survive, noble but weak, the emperor in front of him is a dragon with claws and claws. His eyes are full of majesty looking down on the world and wisdom that sees through everything, making people dare not look directly.
"Your Majesty..." Jia Xu quickly made a decision. "I believe that if Liangzhou does not abandon it, the Han Dynasty will not perish."
