139, Dazawa Longfang Sting, Central Plains Lu Zhengfei
Since the young lady was shy and didn't want to come out, Chen Yuan didn't force it.
"Junior sister, senior brother has left. Come visit us another day."
With that said, Chen Yuan returned to Cai Yong's study.
Cai Wenji was in the boudoir, her face flushed with shame, and her heart was beating back and forth like a little rabbit.
Thinking of Chen Yuan's actions just now, he couldn't help but curse inwardly.
What a pervert.
However, when I thought about that hard place, my face turned even redder, and I couldn't help but walk towards the bed.
After Chen Yuan said goodbye to Cai Yong, he went home.
Although this trip was not for fighting, Chen Yuan was also in a hurry, so he was quite tired.
After returning home, I had a good sleep.
The next day, Liu Bei sent someone to invite Chen Yuan to the Prefecture Mufu, saying that he had important matters to discuss.
When Chen Yuan came to the Prefecture Mufu, he was really surprised.
Because Liu Bei only called himself.
This shouldn’t be the case. Logically speaking, there should be many people who are right.
Seeing Liu Bei's solemn expression again, Chen Yuan instinctively felt that something was wrong.
Liu Bei seems to be extremely serious today.
What is this for?
Chen Yuan greeted Liu Bei in confusion: "Brother, why did you call me here?"
Liu Bei nodded, motioned for Chen Yuan to sit down, and then ordered his servants to go out and asked Dian Wei to guard the door. No one could enter without his consent.
Seeing Liu Bei being so solemn, Chen Yuan thought something big had happened, and his expression became solemn.
After Dian Wei went out, closed the door and stood guard outside, Liu Bei looked at Chen Yuan and said, "Fourth brother, I have something to ask you today. Please answer truthfully."
Chen Yuan was at a loss at this time. He didn't know what Liu Bei was doing by starting such a big battle.
But Chen Yuan is not dishonest, he has not done anything shameful.
Therefore, Chen Yuan said calmly: "Brother, if you have something to say, you may as well speak up. Yuan must answer truthfully."
Liu Bei nodded.
"That being the case, eldest brother asks you, do you have the emperor in your heart?"
Chen Yuan was stunned: "Brother, why did you say this?"
Liu Bei glanced at Chen Yuan and decided to speak politely.
"Fourth brother, I am a descendant of a down-and-out clan in Zhuo County. If there were no wars in this world and the empire would still be strong, it would be enough for Bei to become the governor of a county in his lifetime.
However, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out and people were devastated. In order to protect the peace of the country, Bei became brothers with Zichuyou and three other people. He took up swords and guns, gathered local warriors, and became a general.
With your help, we pacified the Yellow Turbans, Bei became the shepherd of Jingzhou, and restored the title of his ancestors.
In my opinion, this is enough.
As long as my brothers and I can manage Jingzhou well for the rest of our lives, and even further assist the emperor to bring peace to the world, then this life will be worthwhile.
But Bei has absolutely no thoughts of tampering, let alone being emperor.
Liu Bei was a Han official throughout his life.
Big brother said this, fourth brother, can you understand?"
Chen Yuan suddenly realized.
Liu Bei was panicking.
Because some of Chen Yuan's actions really pushed Liu Bei to that supreme position.
Liu Bei had absolutely no intention of becoming emperor at this time.
After figuring this out, Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought something was wrong with Liu Bei, but it turned out to be this.
Chen Yuan has been prepared for a long time, and Chen Yuan also wants to find an opportunity to talk to Liu Bei.
Because there are many policies to follow, if Liu Bei cannot be solved, there will definitely be big problems later.
Chen Yuan nodded: "Yuan already understands what eldest brother said, but what does eldest brother think of today?"
Liu Bei frowned immediately when he heard this.
This is not easy to say.
The posthumous title of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty explains everything.
If you don't work hard, you will become famous.
After death, one's ambition is fulfilled, which is called Ling.
Death can be seen as a spirit.
Chaos without damaging the spirit.
Good for offering sacrifices to ghosts and spirits.
I know very well that ghosts and gods are called spirits.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty obtained it without causing any damage.
As a posthumous title, Ling has the meaning of being ridiculous and misbehaving.
Although Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty took some measures to restrain powerful families, it cannot be said that he was a wise king.
Suppressing powerful families is something any normal emperor would do.
Because powerful families competed with the emperor and the court for resources, land and population.
Suppressing them is inevitable.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sold his official positions, favored eunuchs, and even implemented party supervision. In fact, these behaviors are not evidence that he is not a qualified emperor.
The most foolish move of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was to allow local powerful men to recruit their own troops to suppress the Yellow Turbans.
This is the fundamental reason why Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty could not become a qualified emperor.
Doting favors on eunuchs, selling officials and conferring titles, and even being imprisoned by the party are all behaviors to curb powerful families. As an emperor, this is normal.
But allowing local powerful men to recruit their own troops will result in a sharp expansion of local power.
To be honest, the consequences of this move are more serious than the implementation of state pastoralism.
The state pastoral system was implemented, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty originally intended to let the Liu family guard the world.
Most of the people who were granted the title of state pastor at the beginning were from the Liu family.
For example, Liu Yan, Liu Yu, Liu Dai, Liu Yao, Liu Biao, etc.
Only later did the situation change, and powerful people from aristocratic families began to serve as state pastors.
Therefore, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was unqualified as the emperor.
But for Liu Bei, no matter what Han Ling Emperor did, as a clan member of the Han Dynasty and Jingzhou Mu, Liu Bei could not criticize him.
Therefore, Liu Bei could only remain silent.
When Chen Yuan saw Liu Bei's silence, he spoke directly: "Although the emperor is determined to maintain the Han Dynasty, he has made the world more chaotic. Although the root cause is not with the emperor, but he cannot correct the chaos and save the building from collapse, then he is not a wise man.
host."
When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately scolded: "Fourth brother, be careful what you say."
Chen Yuan disagreed: "Brother, with all due respect, among the clans in the world today, the one who can save the building from collapse is none other than the eldest brother. Can the eldest brother bear to see the Han Dynasty collapse?"
Liu Bei said solemnly: "The Yellow Turban has been leveled, how can we talk about the overthrow of the Han Dynasty?"
Chen Yuan smiled calmly: "Could it be that the Yellow Turbans were the root cause of the downfall of the Han Dynasty? No, it was the powerful family."
"Since the emperor ordered local governments to recruit their own troops to suppress the Yellow Turbans, local powerful forces have expanded rapidly and have become an insurmountable force. In the imperial court, relatives, eunuchs and civil servant groups have attacked each other, which has further contributed to the strength of local forces. Even though the emperor
If you have the intention to restrain yourself, your intention is now powerless. The princes will divide their power and the world will be in chaos."
"The next era will be about who has the strongest troops and horses. Once the emperor dies, I don't know how many will become emperor and how many will become king. The disaster of the overthrow of the Han Dynasty is just around the corner."
"The dragon in Daze is stinging, and the deer in the Central Plains are getting fat."
"Looking at the clan members of the Han Dynasty today, only the eldest brother is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, courageous, capable of knowing and employing people, and has the style of the great ancestor. If the eldest brother does not carry the banner of reviving the Han Dynasty, who else in the world can do it?
To take on this important responsibility?”
"Since fourth brother sees it so clearly, why don't you write to the Emperor?"
Chen Yuan laughed: "The ministers in the court were all heroes at that time, couldn't they see it? There were also loyal people who wrote to the emperor, but what do you think the result was?"
