Although Mi Heng is crazy, he is not stupid. {The first website of this book} (Xian "Jie" Xiao. "Shuo" website) If there is a place where it is easiest to accept his ideas, it is naturally the areas under the jurisdiction of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the north.
But there were frequent wars there, so Mi Heng would not have gone to die, otherwise he would not have come to Jingzhou to take refuge in the first place.
Since we can't go to the north, the most suitable place left is the territory that Liu Xinxin won. The Western Regions is one, but the Hu people there probably care more about their own business, and no one is willing to listen to his talk there. The situation in Jiaozhou is similar to that in the Western Regions.
Although Liu Xin's rule there was not consolidated, the ferocity of the aliens and the changeable climate were not something a weak scholar like him could adapt to.
After such elimination, the only ones left were those from Xiapi and Guangling counties in Yangzhou and Xuzhou. Mi Heng’s first stop was Lujiang. Although he was young, he had already become famous. After arriving in Lujiang, Mi Heng was everywhere
When visiting the gentry, Qiao Xuan was naturally one of them.
However, the vast majority of the gentry only responded to what Mi Heng said. When it came to openly opposing Liu Xin, these gentry began to be vague and noncommittal. Although Liu Xin captured Lujiang only a year ago,
But the changes that occurred during the year can be expressed in terms of dates
Not only are the lives of the gentry getting better and better day by day, but even the ordinary people have enough food and clothing. Who would be full and have nothing to do, but get into Liu Xin's bad luck? However, Mi Heng's words are too sharp, and these gentry also have enough food and clothing.
I didn't dare to offend him, let alone report it to the government.
However, Mi Heng always stayed in Lujiang and visited his house every now and then, which also annoyed the gentry. It was enough to spend money to entertain him. If the news came to Liu Xin's ears, he and himself would be in trouble.
Mi Heng colluded to oppose his rule, which would be a crime of extermination! I don’t know who came up with the idea to recommend Mi Heng to Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Xuan is an upright man and hates evil, but Mrs. Qiao does not allow him to talk nonsense. Even if Liu Xin is entrusted with the responsibility of civil supervisor, he is not allowed to comment on current affairs casually. The purpose is naturally to prevent him from getting into trouble. Qiao Xuan also knows that Mrs. Qiao
The reason for doing this was not to worry Mrs. Qiao, so Mi Heng rejected him several times. Mi Heng did not give up and stayed outside Qiao's house all day. Finally, he caught a chance and stopped her.
Qiao Xuan.
Mi Heng is a contemporary celebrity. Since he met him face to face, Qiao Xuan did not dare to turn a blind eye, otherwise his brilliant pen would definitely criticize Qiao Xuan to death. Mi Heng was worthy of his outstanding literary talent, and he was able to describe Qiao Xuan in just a few words.
Feeling dizzy, he immediately agreed to go to Xiangyang in person to find Liu Xin to question him.
In fact, Mi Heng's original intention was to let Qiao Xuan mobilize the gentry with him to jointly oppose Liu Xin. After all, Liu Xin is only a high-ranking official of the Han Dynasty in name. In theory, as long as everyone denounces him unanimously, he can be
Qiao Xuan was kicked out of office. But Qiao Xuan was concerned about his identity as a civilian supervisor. He was unwilling to talk about people's mistakes behind his back and wanted to ask Liu Xin face to face.
When Mrs. Qiao heard that Qiao Xuan was going to Xiangyang to question Liu Xin, she was so frightened that she tried to persuade her, but Qiao Xuan just refused to listen. In desperation, Mrs. Qiao had no choice but to accompany Qiao Xuan to Xiangyang with her pair of daughters, hoping to use her relationship with him.
Diao Chan to save Qiao Xuan's life.
Although Qiao Xuan was just a scholar, he was very righteous. When Liu Xin asked who instigated him, he shook his head and said, "Qiao Xuan proposed it himself. It has nothing to do with anyone else, and no one instigated it behind his back."
Liu Xin nodded and said: "It's good since no one is instructing me. Except for Mr. Qiao, you are the civilian supervisor invited by Mr. Liu. No matter what you say is right or wrong, Mr. Liu will not blame you. It's just what you said."
This thing involves military and national affairs, and there are some situations where it’s hard for Mr. Liu to tell you clearly, and Mr. Liu is also in trouble!"
Qiao Xuan saw that Liu Xin was not angry at all under his own questioning. He couldn't help but be impressed by Liu Xin's broad mind. He couldn't help but cupped his hands and said, "I don't know what difficulties you have. As long as ordinary people can help, I can help you."
Order."
Liu Xin waved her hand and said: "Liu thanked the outsiders for their kindness, but I'm afraid Liu's difficulties cannot be solved by outsiders. Anyway, Liu will tell you the truth. There are only two ways to calm the war in the north.
There is a way to go. The first is to send people to persuade people to make peace, and the second is to fight
Stop the war. Since ancient times, there are no two days in the sky, and the country has no two kings. Now Cao Cao supports Liu Xie and Yuan Shao supports Liu Biao. I am afraid no one can do it if they want them to stop fighting and make peace. But if Liu is to send troops,
There are two emperors there, which one do you want Liu to help?"
Qiao Xuan was stunned. What Liu Xin said was right. If you want to avoid the destruction of all living beings, in addition to persuading peace, you can only use force. Persuasion is obviously impossible, and the only way is to resort to force. But in this way, Liu Xin will face a
It’s a matter of choosing sides. Of course, whichever side Liu Xin chooses to stand on will win.
However, Qiao Xuan quickly remembered Mi Heng's words, and quickly leaned forward and said: "Master Liu, Qiao thinks that what you want to do now is to stop the war in the north. Qiao also knows a little about your strength, I'm afraid even if you
same
When we go to war with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, they may not be your opponents! If you didn't take action last year, it would be excusable. Now that Jiaozhou and Jiangnan have been pacified, you still stand still. Don't you want to preserve your strength?"
Liu Xin suddenly had a bitter look on her face and sighed: "Exceptor Qiao, you only know one but not the other! Yes, with Liu's current strength, even if Cao Cao and Yuan Shao unite, what does Liu have to fear? But
, have you ever thought about it. Each of them holds an emperor in their hands, and Liu can only fight one. After defeating one, he only needs to let the other one take over the world. But who should Liu help? "
Qiao Xuan only wanted to quell the war in the north as soon as possible, but he had never considered such a complicated issue. He couldn't help but lower his head and think deeply. After a while, he said: "This problem is difficult to solve. Ordinarily Liu Xie should be orthodox, but Liu Biao is more
Fame.”
Liu Xin waved her hand and said: "Except for Qiao Yuan, you have only considered one aspect. If you think about it carefully, whether Liu Xie or Liu Biao, do they have any dignity as emperors? The power is not in the hands of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
inside?
No matter who Liu helped, the country of this great Han Dynasty would eventually fall into the hands of people with other surnames. How could Liu have the face to meet his ancestors under the Nine Springs? It wasn’t that Liu didn’t want to stop the war in the north, but
Don’t you know how to do it?”
Qiao Xuan was silent. He was an orthodox person, and the world should be named Liu. This absolutely cannot be changed. However, as long as Liu Xin sends troops and the war subsides, the person in charge of the world will be either Liu Xie or Liu Biao, but these two people are puppets.
At that time, I am afraid that even Liu Xin will lose power.
"It would be great if the emperor were in Xiangyang. Mr. Liu can justifiably rule the country of Han Dynasty." Qiao Xuan sighed and said, "The common people are stupid and have been deceived by traitors. I hope you will forgive me for what I have offended in my words."
"Hey, what are you talking about, Mr. Qiao? Mr. Liu has already said it before. You are the civilian supervisor invited by Mr. Liu. No matter what you say, Mr. Liu will not blame you." Liu Xin said, while shaking her head.
Patting his thigh, he said, "Yes, you just said that it would be great if the emperor were in Xiangyang. Why didn't I think of that?"
Qiao Xuan said in surprise: "The common people just said casually that the emperor is now under the control of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. How can they let the emperor come to Xiangyang?"
Liu Xin waved her hand and said: "No, you are not talking nonsense! These two emperors were not established by the late emperor. Liu Xie was established by Dong Zhuo, a rebellious minister, but Liu Biao was established by Yuan Shao. Since they can establish them, they will make a living for the world.
, Liu, why?
You cannot establish an emperor! Your words will make Liu suddenly realize. Liu must choose a son with both political integrity and talent from the Han clan to be the master of the world, and then raise the banner of righteousness high to defeat Cao Cao.
Yuan Shao, these two traitors!"
Qiao Xuan didn't expect that his unintentional words would actually make Liu Xin think of a solution. He couldn't help but feel happy and blurted out: "So, your Excellency will soon be able to raise troops to fight against the thieves and quell the war?"
Liu Xin shook his head and said: "It can't be that easy. Whoever becomes the master of the world must be very careful. It is not only related to the people of the northern states, but also related to the future well-being of the people of the world. Don't you remember the Yellow Turban Rebellion?
Is that so? If you choose someone who is not kind, the world will be plunged into fire and water!"
Qiao Xuan's heart suddenly went cold, and the hope he had just ignited was extinguished. He raised his head suddenly, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he cupped his hands and said, "If the common people remember correctly, Mr. Liu seems to be a member of the Han family."
Liu Xin just said so much, just to guide Qiao Xuan in this direction, and now she finally waited for this sentence. However, Liu Xin still kept her expression blank and said with a blank look: "Yes, Liu is indeed from the Han Dynasty.
Clan relatives.”
Liu Xin has been hesitant about whether to be the emperor. The so-called thunder and rain are all due to the kindness of the emperor. The emperor is aloof and holds the power of life and death. He seems to have unlimited glory, but who knows the troubles behind it.
First of all, the emperor has no family affairs. Even when choosing an heir, the opinions of the courtiers must be considered. Secondly, the emperor has no freedom, let alone much private space. Look at the handsome man in Chinese chess who is limited to a few small squares.
, you will know. Also, the power of the emperor is too great, and you will lose yourself if you are not careful. Similarly, the power of the emperor is great, and ambitious people always want to sit in that position. The danger of this profession is also
Surprisingly, there are many emperors in history who did not die a good death.
However, precisely because the emperor has too much power, it is difficult to ensure the absolute safety of himself and his family if he does not become the emperor. If someone else becomes the emperor, even if his own generation still holds great power, the emperor dare not do anything to him, but who can
How can he guarantee that after a hundred years, the emperor or his successor will not attack his descendants? For the sake of his descendants, this emperor must do it!
In fact, with Liu Xin's current status and strength, even if he openly proclaims himself emperor, others will not be able to do anything to him. However, Liu Xin still wants to sit in that position on the basis of winning the hearts and minds of the majority of the people.
Now, his advisers and generals must support him, otherwise they would not be able to help him conquer the world together. The lives of the poor people are getting better and better now. Such a happy life was created by Liu Xin for them, in their eyes
, Liu Xin is their god, they must worship him, and they will definitely support him. The only variable is the gentry and squires. Therefore, Liu Xin took the opportunity to guide Qiao Xuan in that direction to see what he meant.
Qiao Xuan was eager to quell the war in the north and restore a stable life to the people of Li. He had never considered so many issues. When he heard Liu Xin personally admit that he was a member of the Han clan, he couldn't help but bowed deeply and said: "Since Mr. Liu himself
As a member of the Han clan, he is naturally qualified to be the emperor!"
