Liu Xie had known for a long time whether Huang Chengyan was a hermit or not, but he was definitely not a famous scholar in the ordinary sense.
This is a very alternative, non-mainstream celebrity.
Even if he had other ideas, it was not something that ordinary people could do if Qianli sent his daughter to marry.
This is similar to Zhuge Liang's failure to live in Xiangyang, but he "living in seclusion" in Longzhong.
When dealing with such people, you cannot follow the rules and must win by surprise.
He replaced Zhuge Liang's elders as a king and father. He seemed to be a fool, but he became Huang Chengyan's temper.
The two of them came into the hall and took their seats separately.
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong sat next to Liu Xie, while Mrs. Cai and Huang Yueying sat next to Huang Chengyan, were at a loss. Even if Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Xie was not a person with politeness, he was at a loss by Liu Xie's actions.
"Huang Jun came here for several days more than expected. Did he encounter any trouble?" Liu Xie asked his own questions straight to the point.
Zhuge Liang walked this path and had an accurate estimate of Huang Chengyan and his party's itinerary. In fact, there was a huge deviation. Huang Chengyan and others were half a month late, so Zhuge Liang had to use the identity of a Sanqi to understand.
After eliminating the trouble, there was only one explanation, and Huang Chengyan spent a lot of time to understand the situation.
Huang Chengyan also knew Liu Xie’s intention and said frankly: “After crossing the Han River, we were safe all the way and there was no trouble. It was just the first time we went out far away and were greedy for the scenery along the way, which delayed our time.”
Liu Xie followed the situation and asked: "What is the scenery along the way?"
Huang Chengyan smacked his lips. "Somewhat unexpected."
"oh?"
"I thought Guanzhong was the old place of Zhou and Qin, and it was once the capital of the Han Dynasty. It should be a place of cultural heritage and etiquette. Unexpectedly, it was wild and interesting, sparsely populated, and even new tombs and white bones were everywhere, which was sad."
Liu Xie nodded. "If Mr. Huang had come two years earlier, he might have seen people eat each other."
Huang Chengyan's expression stagnated, but Mrs. Cai, who was beside her, changed her face.
They are not unfamiliar with what the three words "eating with each other" represent.
But they also knew that this was not Liu Xie's alarmist statement. People who live in Jingzhou said that when Dong Zhuo and Li Jie were in chaos, Guanzhong suffered a major disaster. The fact that people ate each other was not false, but a real tragic situation.
But along the way, they did not see such a tragic situation, so they did not think about it. After Liu Xie reminded them, they suddenly realized that they were in a place of tigers and wolves, and they couldn't help but feel creepy.
"Life is very fragile, peace is also very fragile, and morality is even more fragile." Liu Xieyou said: "No matter how rich a place is, as long as it takes a few years, it will be deserted and foxes and rats everywhere. All morality and ethics will disappear,
Everyone is a beast. Guanzhong is like this, and Guandong is no exception. The reason why Guandong can still talk big is that Guanxi has endured suffering and blocked the bitter Hu Feng.”
Huang Chengyan smiled bitterly. He understood Liu Xie's implication.
The reason why Jingzhou is stable is not natural, nor will it always be like this.
If the people of Guandong thought that the affairs of Liangzhou had nothing to do with them, they could be held high, maybe one day the Liangzhou soldiers would go east and turn Guandong into a battlefield, and then the tragedy of eating each other would not only happen in Guanzhong
, it will also appear in Guandong Mountain.
"Your Majesty has such a murderous aura." Mrs. Cai couldn't help but retort.
Liu Xie glanced at Mrs. Cai's well-maintained face, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Zhu Jing has never seen a noble man, and he has spoken without any ruthlessness. I would like to ask Your Majesty to forgive me." Huang Chengyan bowed to apologize, but there was no shame on his face.
"It's okay." Liu Xie said lightly: "Mr. Huang must have heard that, I have always advocated that no difference between men and women, and I don't agree with the male protagonist's outside and female protagonist's inside. As long as it makes sense, why bother say it?
.”
Mrs. Cai smiled. "Does Your Majesty think I'm right?"
"It's reasonable." Liu Xie nodded. "After all, I'm not good at doing things enough. I'm more domineering than being overbearing, and I'm not being king. The murderous aura is indeed a little heavier. But..." Liu Xie changed his conversation and laughed again. "The murderous aura is also a lot more murderous aura."
The benefit of this is that at least no one will be able to speak out in front of me. If it weren’t for this, there would be no difference between men and women, and those moral men could drown me with their spit.”
Mrs. Cai was speechless and looked a little embarrassed.
Even if she was sharp-tongued, she could not deny that Liu Xie was right. If it weren't for the prestige brought by Liu Xie's impressive record that firmly suppressed the ministers, his new policy would be impossible to talk about, and it would be nonsense to be different from men and women.
There is no new style of men and women. Even if she has a high status at home, she will not ignore Huang Chengyan's face and speak out in front of the emperor.
It was the emperor's murderous aura that gave her the opportunity to mock the emperor's murderous aura.
Thinking of this, her sarcasm seems particularly ironic.
"Civilization depends on force and even barbarity to protect it. The truth is so cruel." Liu Xie spread his hands and smiled. "Wang Jun, are you a little disappointed?"
Huang Chengyan had recovered his calmness and smiled and said, "I, Chu Zi, don't study, but I still understand the principle that the seven virtues are treasures."
Liu Xie said with a slight head. "This is one of the reasons why I regard Huang Jun as a fellow. Although the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, the simplicity of Chu is indispensable, and it is not entirely the grace of Zhou. Nowadays, people value literature and respect elegance.
I don’t really agree with the despise of martial arts. To respect morality and martial arts and torture the soul of a scholar is the real kingdom. I hope to encourage you with Mr. Huang.”
Huang Chengyan smiled with his palm. "What Your Majesty says is deeply my heart."
Mrs. Cai and Huang Yueying looked at each other and laughed silently.
What the emperor said and did was indeed very polite to Huang Chengyan's temper. Even if he was to Zhuge Liang, Huang Chengyan had never been so happy.
This time I came to Guanzhong, it was the right choice.
Pang Tong listened on the side and was also secretly happy. He was not the kind of Confucian scholar who advanced and retreated with courtesy, and he admired the emperor's will very much. It is conceivable that this time he came to Guanzhong, he would never be ignored by everyone like he was in Jingzhou.
Liu Xie expressed his attitude and reached an agreement with Huang Chengyan, and the subsequent discussion went smoothly. Although the opinions may not be unified, both sides could talk with a frank and equal attitude and speak happily.
The topic started from the situation in Guanzhong and soon changed to the situation in the whole world.
Huang Chengyan directly asked Liu Xie, how to deal with the Kanto clan in the future?
There is no doubt that this is a core issue that countless people are concerned about. It not only concerns those noble families, but also countless local tycoons, such as the Cai family of Xiangyang, Kuai family, and even small and medium-sized families like the Pang family and Xi family.
A powerful man.
According to the Dutian Order, they had more or less land that violated the rules and occupied more.
This is also the issue that Huang Chengyan has been most concerned about along the way.
Without solving land annexation, it would be difficult for the Han Dynasty to revive.
If land annexation is resolved, families of all sizes and powerful families will all oppose them, and the world will be in peace.
Huang Chengyan couldn't think of a feasible solution.
He is very pragmatic and it is easy to suppress mergers and to do it.
Faced with Huang Chengyan's question, Liu Xie said frankly: "I originally wanted to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf and use martial arts to stop the sword, but now it seems that it may not be possible. Huang Jun came just right, so I might as well provide me with some advice."
