Zang Hong had imagined the scene of meeting the emperor countless times, and also thought about how to advise the emperor to value virtue and not to leave the court and old ministers aside, relying on force, but he did not expect that the emperor would be the emperor as soon as he met.
The army was led.
He could turn against Yuan Shao for the sake of his old proposition, so he would naturally dare not avenge his biological father Zang Min.
He asked himself that he had such ability.
But he didn't want to be a pure warrior.
"Your Majesty, I think that the Xianbei is just a problem of scabies, and the uneasiness of Guandong is the worry of the world. Your Majesty should move to Hedong, overlook Luoyang, move back to the old capital as soon as possible, and reorganize the government..."
Liu Xie raised his eyelids. "Are you talking about the Yuan brothers?"
Zang Hong said yes. The emperor spoke too directly, and he was very uncomfortable.
"I think they are the disease of scabies. Although they are not fatal, they always make you feel at ease. So I think that instead of scratching the surface, it is better to let them rot to the end and let the world see their true faces."
Liu Xie turned his back on his horse. "You go back to Yanmen to see. There are still a few counties left in Yanmen County. Think about whether the Xianbei is a scabies. Lingzun has been defeated for only twenty years, so you have forgotten this way.
Clean, to be honest, I was surprised.”
After saying that, Liu Xie turned his horse's head and ran away lightly.
Ma Yunlu also followed the horse and chased the emperor. He did not say goodbye to Zang Hong, nor even glanced at him.
Lu Xiaohuan, who was half wet with a fish in his hand, was confused. While riding a horse, he asked Ma Yunlu, "Sister, who is this?"
"The self-righteous Kanto people." Ma Yunlu's voice came from afar and dissipated in the wind.
Zang Hong's face was red and his ears were red.
He wanted to turn his head and leave. Anyway, he had not received the seal yet, so he was not officially appointed. But the emperor's words echoed in his heart, hitting his dignity again and again until his proud belief was broken.
After thinking about it, Zang Hong decided to meet Xun You.
When Zang Hong met Xun You, Xun You was swimming by the river.
Looking at Xun You with his naked body and only a bull's nose, waving his arms, shaking the waves in the clear river, Zang Hong's belief finally fell apart and shattered the ground.
It is true that those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to Mo are red. There is no serious person around the emperor, and even Xun You is afraid to look at him.
Seeing Zang Hong and Xun You wandered back to the shore, a follower caught up and gave him a light cloak.
Xun You walked to Zang Hong and saw Zang Hong's constipated face, and couldn't help laughing. "Ziyuan is just here, and he is not very adaptable to the barbarian style of the northern border, right?"
"So you still know that this is the barbarian style?" Zang Hong couldn't help but mock him.
"In the future, you will understand that it is not possible to deal with barbarians and discuss the truth. To defeat barbarians and educate barbarians, you must have a stronger body than barbarians."
"You mean to convince people with strength?"
"Yes, use your strength to convince others and educate them with virtue." Xun You said calmly: "You came just right, and the emperor is waiting for you. After seeing you, he will set off to travel west."
"The emperor...wait for me?"
"Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are all familiar generals. He is very relieved. He has never seen you before. I don't know if you can be competent for the important task of the prefect of Yanmen, so I want to see you with my own eyes. Thank you for your hard work, so I will rest first.
I'll find an opportunity as soon as possible..."
"Gongda, I...I've seen the emperor."
"Have you seen it?" Xun You looked at Zang Hong's eyes again and understood a little. "Not it goes well?"
Zang Hong nodded embarrassedly and told the story of his meeting with the emperor.
Xun You pondered for a moment and said, "What are you planning? Should you accept the appointment or have other plans?"
Zang Hong heard what Xun You meant. "I mean it, I'm afraid the emperor is not satisfied with me."
Xun You smiled. "I am not very satisfied, but I will not dismiss you yet. I always give you a chance to prove myself. Ziyuan, as an old friend, I need to remind you that it is not easy to be a prefect of Yanmen, especially with the Xianbei people.
In field battles, it is far from enough to just defend the city.”
Zang Hong's face turned red again, but he could not refute it.
His father Zang Min is the most direct example. He made many military achievements in Yangzhou when he suppressed the rebellion, but he was defeated on the grassland.
Seeing Zang Hong hesitating, Xun You advised: "Ziyuan, I know you are not a person who retreats from difficulties, try it. There are not many opportunities like this, so let the people in the world see that Guandong can not only produce prefaces, but also produce
They will only value virtue more between punishment and morality.”
Zang Hong was moved.
Whether you are willing to be a general or not and whether you can be a general are two different concepts.
In the face of the disdain of the Kansai people, the best way is to become a famous general, and a famous general who is both civil and military, and a Confucian general.
What can scholars like Gao Yu do besides being stingy?
At the invitation of Xun You, Liu Xie summoned Zang Hong again during lunch.
Cao Ang, the newly appointed Sanqigong assistant minister, happened to be on duty, stood aside, looking at Zang Hong with a little uneasy look.
Zang Hong didn't look at Cao Ang from beginning to end, thinking that he didn't exist.
"Yanmen has increased its household registration recently, and the majority of barbarians are the ones. It will be very complicated to manage. It is far from enough to rely on virtue alone." Liu Xie said while drinking fish soup: "I won't give you specific arrangements, you can do it yourself.
Think about it and do it. You can do it with virtue and punishment. I only look at the result. Gongda is the military supervisor, and you can discuss it. There is no need to argue with the actual political achievements."
"Yes." Although Zang Hong didn't like the emperor's tone, he still bowed to accept the order.
If you want to express your opinions, you must first achieve results. He is a newcomer and has no actual results. No matter how nice he says it, no one will pay attention to him.
Xun You already made it clear that Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were both generals with military achievements. Compared with his achievements in defending Dongwuyang, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's achievements in fighting against the Xianbei people in the field were undoubtedly more convincing.
This is not only his personal honor and disgrace, but also related to the Kanto people's right to speak in the court.
Even so, Zang Hong said something like a thorn in his throat, and he would not vomit easily.
"I take the initiative to ask Your Majesty if I want to be the same as the Five Classics with Mencius?"
Liu Xie sucked the fish bones and glanced at Zang Hong. "Ling Zun is a famous general. You must have read military books since you were a child?"
"A little bit of it."
"When you guard Dongwuyang, did you follow which sentence in which military book did you set up defense?"
"This..." Zang Hong was speechless.
"Governing the country is like using troops. You can't just muddle the past without being transformed. Talking about war on paper." Liu Xie spit out the fish bones. "The heavy chariot war in the Spring and Autumn Period, while the Warring States Period was equally important. Who else practices chariot war now? There are many countries in the Spring and Autumn Period, and only the Warring States Period remain.
If the seven heroes are unified today, how can they govern the country according to the Five Classics?"
"With Your Majesty's opinion, should I abolish the Five Classics?"
"Although the chariot war is not good, Sun Tzu's idea of using troops is still worthy. Although the world is unified, it is not easy for the people to be the foundation of the country. If there is a difference, it is also the people who point to it more broadly." Liu Xie stood up and stood up.
, gently stamped his feet. "Ziyuan, after five hundred years, this place is still a barbarian country, but now it is the territory of my Han Dynasty. The Master traveled around the world, only the square city in the south and only the Han Valley in the west. Why do you have to draw a prison?
, dare not step beyond the thunder pool? Only when we continue to move forward will we no longer have the intention of the ancestors."
