Han Dao world

Chapter 637
Liu Xie couldn't refuse Yuan Shao's peace negotiation, but he could play tricks on the specific conditions.

Liu Xie raised some objections to Yang Biao's suggestion.

You cannot directly appoint Yuan Shao as Jizhou Shepherd, you can only recognize his official position as Bohai Prefect.

There are two reasons: one is that Yuan Shao's Jizhou Mu has never been approved by the court, and the other is that it was the case in the last court proposal.It didn't make sense for Yuan Shao to reject the imperial court's pardon and march into the Central Plains, adding to his mistakes, the imperial court made another concession.

Or so, Yuan Shao refused to negotiate a peace, and if the war continued for a while, would the court still want him to be the Sangong?

Therefore, Yuan Shao must serve as the prefect of Bohai, and then discuss whether to appoint him as Jizhou shepherd.

Doing so had no effect on Liu Biao and Liu Zhang. They were all recognized by the court. On the contrary, it seemed that the court was neither humble nor overbearing.

After hearing Liu Xie's conditions, Yang Biao and others looked at each other in blank dismay.

They could hear that Liu Xie intended to make things difficult for Yuan Shao, but they had no reason to object.

Judging from the current situation, it is obviously more beneficial for Yuan Shao to negotiate a peace, but it is not so urgent for the imperial court.Given time, or simply letting go of his hands and feet, the emperor can also flatten Yuan Shao.

It's just that the murder is bigger and the reputation is worse.

That being the case, there is no reason for Yuan Shao not to make concessions, but to ask for a little advantage.

Is the court shameless?

Even if they wanted to protect Yuan Shao, they would not dare to do it so blatantly, disregarding the dignity of the emperor.

It is not good for them to push the emperor into a hurry.

Han Sui and the others were happy in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it too obviously because of people's words.

Yang Biao suggested that we discuss it another day and give everyone a time to think about it.

Liu Xie agreed.

He knew that Yang Biao wanted to speak out in private.It is inconvenient to say some things during the public court meeting. After all, one must maintain dignity, and righteousness must not be lost.In private, the consideration of interests can be more and more direct.

A few other matters were discussed, and the meeting was temporarily adjourned.

Just as Liu Xie got up to leave, Yang Biao rushed to Jia Xu with a stride.

Jia Xu was shocked by the vigor of his movements, and his eyes widened.

"Wen He, long time no see, have a drink together?" Yang Biao warmly invited.

Jia Xu couldn't help laughing.He and Yang Biao had known each other for so many years, and it was the first time that Yang Biao took the initiative.

"Tea or drink?"

"As you please." Yang Biao couldn't help saying, and stretched out his hand to signal.

It was hard for Jia Xu to refuse, she nodded with the others, and followed Yang Biao out.

Han Sui also wanted to discuss with Jia Xu, but seeing that Yang Biao took the lead, he was a little depressed, so he had to turn his outstretched hand to Ma Teng. "Shoucheng, Yanming just sent some Qiang wine. It's better to be alone than to be happy together. Let's go have a drink too?"

Matt doesn't care.During the court meeting, he was absent-minded, did not say a word, and nodded in agreement.

Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi wanted to follow Yang Biao, but Yang Biao gave him a wink and abruptly stopped, watching Yang Biao and Jia Xu talking and laughing.

Everyone in the tent could see clearly, exchanged opinions tacitly, and then went out in groups of three or four.

The public debate is over, and it's time for bargaining between the different factions.

Liu Xie returned to the back hall and took off his court clothes.

Zhuge Liang greeted him, put away the court clothes, handed over the regular clothes, and waited for Liu Xie to put them on.

"Kong Ming, you didn't say anything just now."

"Your official career is still young, and you don't know the situation in the court. Some ministers are meeting for the first time, so you should not speak nonsense." Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, and said again: "I believe that Your Majesty will make a clear decision."

"Now there is no minister by your side, you might as well talk about your thoughts."

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment. "I agree with His Majesty's opinion. Peace can be negotiated, but there can be no chaos. It cannot be left to Yuan Shao, but the court must control the situation."

Liu Xie nodded and signaled Zhuge Liang to continue.

"Emperor Guangwu respected Confucianism and treated ministers leniently. Stability. Times have changed, and it is inevitable that things will get worse and cause more disasters.”

"Well, go on."

"Guanzhong Dutian has achieved initial results. With the supplement of silk business, the Guanzhong clan can barely accept it, and there will be no drastic changes. But if the Shandong clan also wants to get a piece of the pie, the price of silk will fall and the profits will be diluted. It is hard to say. Yes. At that time, the big clans in Shandong didn’t get what they wanted, and the big clans in Guanzhong suffered losses, so they would have resentment. I heard Da Si Nong mentioned that after the silk from Jingzhou entered Guanzhong, the Hu merchants were already a little picky. So refreshing."

"Is there such a thing?" Liu Xie was slightly stunned, and then remembered that the profiteer Anthony hadn't come to see him for a long time.

"Da Sinong is counting the numbers, and it is estimated that there will be a plan soon."

Liu Xie nodded.He was at ease about Liu Ba's business methods.

"So even if we want to talk about it, we must punish the big clan in Shandong, especially the Jizhou people who are attached to Yuan Shao, and they can't be too kind. If it wasn't like this, would there be any difference between loyalty and traitor?"

Liu Xie didn't speak, but thought for a while.

From Zhuge Liang's words, he heard the sign of regional disputes.

Zhuge Liang may not have done it on purpose, but this unconscious regional concept is more harmful.

Shandong people dislike each other, how can they treat Liangzhou people equally?Not to mention the Xianbei and Wuhuan people who will integrate into the Chinese nation in the future.

For others, he can relax some requirements, but for Zhuge Liang, he must remind him in time.

"Kong Ming, it's not just people from Jizhou who are attached to Yuan Shao, and not all Jizhou people are attached to Yuan Shao. Zhao Zilong is from Jizhou, but he not only travels in person, but also invites friends and companions, introducing many talents from Jizhou to the court."

Zhuge Liang blushed, bowed and said: "Your Majesty's words are very true, and the minister's words are unscrupulous."

"It's fine to say something unscrupulously. If you make a mistake, you can correct it. I'm afraid that the prejudice in your heart will be hard to get rid of." Liu Xie twisted his mouth. "According to some people, your fiancée is Jiang Xia's barbarian, can you agree?"

Zhuge Liang smiled awkwardly. "Thank you for your reminder, Your Majesty, I will definitely pay attention in the future."

"Well, should they be here?"

"According to the time, it should have arrived, probably delayed on the road. As soon as they arrive, I will lead them to see you."

Liu Xie nodded. "There is one more thing. It is a good habit for you not to be confused by morality and to seek truth from facts. However, the habits of veteran officials in the court are hard to change. I am afraid that they will not listen to your words. It is inevitable that you should be a good teacher. In front of the public, don't say a few words , is also good. The limelight is too strong, and it is inevitable to be taboo."

Zhuge Liang's heart warmed.

He was not an impulsive person, so he didn't say a word during the court meeting.But the emperor specially reminded him that even when he needed support, he didn't want him to conflict with the veterans prematurely. It can be seen that his love for him is not empty words, but from the heart.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."
