Chapter 557 The Road to Awakening
Tian Chou opened his mouth for a long time, but finally closed it, feeling extremely depressed.

What could be more hurtful than finding a way that others can walk, but you can't walk it yourself.

And that person was the emperor who he had just sternly admonished, hoping to help him.

At this moment, Tian Chou felt ashamed, feeling that his face just now was extremely ugly.

What qualifications do I have to offer advice?
Tian Chou's face turned red and white for a while, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Liu Xie let out a sigh of relief, joyful in his heart.

He still has high hopes for Tian Chou, which is the hope of Youzhou.

In any case, the scholar class is still the elite of this era. If some of them can adjust their thinking, it will definitely be much easier than starting from scratch, although future troubles are inevitable.

Liu Xie didn't urge Tian Chou, he left Xia Houchong to watch Tian Chou to prevent him from falling down the mountain when he lost his mind, while he took Pei Jun, Cao Ang and others to inspect the terrain.

Wushao Ridge is an extremely important place, and it is also the only place to pass in and out of the Hexi Corridor via Jincheng (Lanzhou).The road through the Jingshui River Valley can also be taken, but there is a desert in the middle, and the geographical conditions are far inferior to the road through Jincheng.

After the western Xianbei was defeated, with Cheng Gongying, the protector of the capital, taking office, it was only a matter of time before the Hexi Corridor was reopened.

The small countries in the Western Regions did not have the ambition and strength to be enemies of the Han, and doing business with the Han would do them more good than harm.Throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Western Regions had always hoped to pay tribute to the Han court and maintain commerce, but the Han court was not firm enough, and the Kwantung scholar-bureaucrats who wanted to give up even Liangzhou could not care about the Western Regions thousands of miles away.

The Qiang rebellion in Liangzhou lasted for a hundred years, and shortly after Xia Houyuan pacified Liangzhou, the Western Regions resumed communication with the Central Plains Dynasty.

If there is no accident, the first batch of Hu merchants are likely to be on their way.

Long before the Western Xianbei was defeated, Anthony released the news that many Hu merchants were already waiting outside Yumen Pass.

When he returns to Jincheng this time, he has two things to deal with. One is to make sure that the main commercial roads are unimpeded and there will be no institutional obstacles; the other is to discuss with Han Sui again to balance the interests of the tribes along the Xikaido.

The restoration of Hexi Road will inevitably affect Xikaido.If it is not handled properly, there may be turmoil in Jincheng, which is the intersection of the two commercial roads.Jincheng is Han Sui's lair, and it is impossible for Han Sui to leave with peace of mind if these relationships are not resolved.

For Liu Xie, this matter was obviously more important than Yuan Shao, Liu He's siege of Gongsun Zan.

So what if Yuan Shao controls Youzhou?It's not all taken away in one wave.That being the case, why give Liu He another chance.If you are honest and honest, the court will not treat you badly. If you are half-hearted, just wait for your demise.

After a while, Tian Chou came over and handed Yuan Shao's upper watch back to Liu Xie.

"Do you have an idea?" Liu Xie asked unhurriedly as he looked at the document soaked in the sweat of Tian Chou's hand.

Tian Chou nodded. "I take the liberty to speculate, Your Majesty will not agree to Yuan Shao's request to become a minister?"

"No, I will agree." Liu Xie smiled slightly. "However, it needs to be discussed by the ministers. After all, the four generations and three princes of the Yuan family have too much influence. Yuan Shao became a minister, and Shandong can be safe. Although I dare not have too much hope, I can't give it a chance. Maybe there will be someone else I hope Yuan Shao will enter the court and take charge of the government."

Tian Chou was stunned. "So... Your Majesty will call Yuan Shao into the court?"

"Hahaha..." Liu Xie blinked. "Do you think Yuan Shao dares to come?"

Tian Chou smiled wryly, how could Yuan Shao dare to come.

If the Son of Heaven returns to Luoyang, sits and discusses with the minister, and is unable to control everything by himself, and is at the mercy of the minister, Yuan Shao may still be able to enter the court and take charge of the government.Now that the emperor is patrolling the world, there are not many ministers and ministers, the emperor is arbitrary, and Yuan Shao doesn't even have an ally. If he comes, he will be at the mercy of the emperor.

Moreover, Liangzhou is poor, Yuan Shao can't bear it.

The emperor didn't want to accept Yuan Shao's appointment as a minister at all, but he didn't directly refuse, but pushed out the ministers and ministers as a strategy to slow down the army.

If it comes, Yuan Shao or Liu He will be in a dilemma, and they can only besiege Gongsun Zan in mutual distrust.

A hundred thousand troops besieged the city, and the consumption was unimaginable.Every day of stalemate will make Yuan Shao weaker.

"Yuan Shao is Yuan Shao, and Liu He is Liu He." Liu Xie waved his hand, interrupting Tian Chou's entanglement. "Liu He is still the imperial court's Zhengbei Zhonglang general, and he has the legacy of the Taifu. It is enough to be the governor of Youzhou, but it is not suitable for Yuan Shao, a criminal minister. You tell Liu He, where to go, let He decides for himself."

"Wei." Tian Chou understood what Liu Xie meant, but his mouth was a little bitter.

Yuan Shao's fate has been decided, and the emperor will never let him go easily, but Liu He still has a chance to save him, as long as he cuts off Yuan Shao in time.He can be the lord of Youzhou if he wants to, but he has to be self-reliant, just like the emperor in Liangzhou.

Can Liu He do it?

Liu Yu and Liu He are both clansmen. Even if they are not well-clothed and well-fed, they are nobles who open their mouths for food and stretch out their hands for clothes.When Liu Yu was in charge of Youzhou, he dressed frugally, but that was just to set an example for others to see. The wives and concubines in the inner room were not like this.

But he couldn't say no.

After careful consideration, Tian Chou decided to send someone back to deliver the letter, and he stayed in the line to follow the emperor all the way.He wanted to see more about the emperor's administration, to provide some reference for Liu He's governance of Youzhou, and to repay Liu Yu's kindness in another way.

The premise is that Liu He is willing to cut off with Yuan Shao and accept the imperial edict.

Tian Chou wrote a long letter, describing what he saw and heard after his trip, for Liu He's reference.

Liu Xie accepted Tian Chou's request and worshiped Tian Chou as Yilang.

Yilang is a type of Langguan, but unlike Huben, Habayashi and other Langguans, he has no on-duty tasks and only participates in discussions.Yilang was also not under the command of the general of the five senses, but directly obeyed the orders of Guang Luxun.

However, Guang Luxun Deng Quan himself is not good at it, so Tian Chou's immediate superior is the emperor Liu Xie himself.In other words, Tian Chou can appear beside Liu Xie at any time.

Of course, this is to facilitate him to understand Liu Xie's every move, which is a rare honor.

This time, Tian Chou did not refuse, but readily accepted.

After learning of Tian Chou's choice, Zhao Yun was very happy and prepared some wine and food to celebrate Tian Chou.

The two exchanged cups and exchanged cups, and said some personal words.They originally admired each other, but now they have become colleagues, so they are naturally closer.

After drinking for three rounds, Tian Chou asked Zhao Yun a word.

"Zilong, you are from the north of Hebei, and you just watched the people from the north of Hebei being misunderstood by Yuan Shao and becoming a rebellious minister?"

Zhao Yun was silent for a while. "According to Zitai's opinion, what should I do?"

"Get in touch with relatives and old people, let the people in northern Hebei know the emperor's mind." Tian Chou dipped his chopsticks in the wine and pointed at the table. "Times have changed, Jibei people, no, all Jizhou people should seize this opportunity to get rid of their fate. Don't forget, the first emperor came from Hejian, the empress Linghuai is from Zhao State, and the blood of Jizhou flows on the emperor's body , he is the emperor most likely to accept Jizhou."
