Han Dao world

Chapter 915
Xin Pi rushed to Xing Zai and soon met Liu Xie.

After reporting on the situation of land saving in Hejian Kingdom, Xin Pi sat quietly, looking at Liu Xie who was sitting on the chair.

The Son of Heaven is young and a little tired, but his eyes are bright, and his speech and demeanor are full of unparalleled confidence, which makes people feel at ease.

It's no wonder that Xun You admired the emperor so much that he didn't have the slightest disobedience.Seeing the firm will of the emperor Du Tian, ​​he immediately gave up the idea of ​​bargaining and insisted on promoting Du Tian in Hejian without leaving any room.

"I heard that you are called together with Chen Qun, Zhao Yan, and Du Xi?" Liu Xie raised his head and looked at Xin Pi with a smile.

Simpi bowed his body and cupped his hands. "I don't dare to take it. It's just the reputation in the village. I don't want it to spread to His Majesty's ears and make His Majesty laugh."

"I also think it's inappropriate." Liu Xie said.

"..." Simpi was speechless.

He was just being polite, but the emperor was not at all polite.

"Others, I don't know. As far as Chen Qun's words and deeds are concerned, it is not a pleasant thing to be as famous as him." Liu Xie took a sip of water and said unhurriedly: "From Judging from his performance in Xuzhou, it is difficult to live up to his reputation. The vices of party figures and celebrities are not lacking in any of them."

Simpi pondered for a moment, then bowed his hands and saluted. "What Your Majesty said, I do not agree with you."

"Yeah." Liu Xie looked indifferent. "tell me the story."

"Although Chen Qun has some party habits and celebrity demeanor, he is not a bad habit. Inheriting the name of his father and ancestor, his reputation is indeed higher than that of his peers, but that is not his fault. Your Majesty does not need to criticize the sage."

Liu Xie looked at Simpi and smiled silently. "Although I don't agree with your opinion, I admire your courage."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Xie put down the paperwork in his hand and thought about it. "Did you arrest Zhang He's family members in the hope that Zhang He would exert influence on the judge so that he would not kill your family members in Yecheng?"

"Yes."

"I don't understand something, and I hope you can tell me bluntly."

"Please advise, Your Majesty."

"Yuan Xi also has thousands of troops and has the name of the lord, so he can't keep your family?"

Simpi sighed. "Although Yuan Xi is the son of Yuan Shao, he is mediocre. He is not as stable as his elder brother Yuan Tan, nor as intelligent as his younger brother Yuan Shang. The reason why he became the lord is that Yuan Shao is jealous of me from Ruying, and Yuan Shang is too young to take on important responsibilities. Yuan Xi was reluctant and won the support of Jizhou people. In fact, his virtue and talent are not enough to compete with Shenpei and Tian Feng, but he is just a puppet of Jizhou people."

"Jianpi, Tian Feng dare to kill the master?"

"Then...not really."

"Since this is the case, why did Yuan Xi sit back and watch your family members be interrogated and imprisoned, without saying a word?"

"This..." Simpi was at a loss for words, and he was also deeply disappointed in Yuan Xi.

It stands to reason that even if Yuan Xi's strength is not as good as Shenpei and Tian Feng's, it is always okay to stand up and say a few words.In the face of Shen Pei and Tian Feng's crimes of imprisoning Ruying people, he didn't say a word, which was too weak.

"Is it because no one is offering advice?" Liu Xie smiled.

Simpi's heart tightened, feeling very uneasy. "Your Majesty means..."

"I'm thinking, if you go to the city to plan for Yuan Xi and compete with Shen Pei and Tian Feng face to face, it may be better than sitting here and discussing the truth. Even if Yuan Xi's strength is not enough to defeat Shen Pei and save your family's life, it is always better There is a chance."

Simpi lowered his eyelids, thought for a moment, and bowed his hands.

"What Your Majesty said is true, I am willing to go."

Liu Xie nodded with satisfaction. "Very good. Prepare yourself and see if there is anything else that needs my cooperation. You don't have to rush into the city. The autumn harvest is approaching, and the army is about to besiege the city. If you go in then, you will have more confidence. After all, not everyone I want to live and die with Yecheng, especially those soldiers who serve Yuan Xi as their leader..."

Looking at the eloquent emperor, Simpi didn't know what to say.

It is indeed a very tempting way to go to the city to assist Yuan Xi, mobilize Yuan Xi's strength to confront the trial, and protect his family.It's just that for him, the risk of this method is too great, it is tantamount to throwing himself into the tiger's mouth.

If the emperor borrowed a knife to kill someone, he would believe it.

However, the Son of Heaven behaved very calmly, not at all ashamed to kill with a knife, always thinking of him, analyzing the problems that might be encountered after entering the city, and the difficulties that needed to be solved.

If this person is not brave, he is a hypocrite.

While the two were talking, a minister came in and handed over a document.

Liu Xie took it and looked at it again, his brows were slightly frowned, and his eyes became playful.He was silent for a moment, and gently put the document aside.

"Do you know Yuan Kang?"

Xin Pi hurriedly said: "Of course I know. Senior celebrities, well-known capable ministers, mighty administrators, and noble morals, are named Baji."

"What's his relationship with Liu Biao?"

"Liu Biao is also one of the eighths."

"Really?" Liu Xie was slightly taken aback. "Isn't Liu Biao Bajun? How did he become Baji again?"

Simpi couldn't help laughing. "Liu Biao came from a noble family, and he studied under a famous family. His knowledge and morals are impressive, and he is praised by others. Not only is he Ba Jun, Ba Ji, he is also one of Ba Gu and Ba You, and he has made friends all over the world."

Liu Xie also laughed.

It turned out that Liu Biao was so famous that everyone wanted to be friends with him.

"Aside from being a famous scholar and capable minister, what else does this Yuan Kang excel at?"

"He is a party member, and a party member on par with Li Yuanli and Fan Mengbo."

"He has Ruying as the county magistrate, and he also wrote the name of Xun's hometown?"

Simpi immediately became alert. "Yes, but that was forty years ago."

Liu Xie became interested. "tell me the story."

"Wei." Simpi organized his language, and said slowly: "Xun's residence was originally named Xihao. When Yuan Zhongzhen was Ru Yingling, he saw that the eight sons of Xun's family had moral knowledge, just like the eight sons of Gaoyang's family, so we changed it. Its name is Xihao, so I personally wrote the inscription."

"Any more?"

Simpi pondered for a moment. "Brothers Xun Yu, Xun Boxiu, Xun Tan and Xun Yuanzhi had close contacts with Yuan Zhongzhen. Xun Boxiu died in party affairs together with Li Yuanli and Fan Mengbo. Xun Yuanzhi, like Yuan Zhongzhen, was imprisoned for life."

Liu Xie nodded.

He understood why Yuan Shu wrote to recommend Yuan Gui.

Yuan Gui is the son of Yuan Kang. He is an old friend of Liu Biao and his son, and also has such a great friendship with the Xun family of Yingchuan. Yuan Shu can't afford to offend him.If Yuan Gui is not driven out of Luoyang, he will inevitably be timid in doing things in the future.Recommending Yuan Gui to become an official is not only a show of favor, but also a way to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

As expected, this fierce ghost can't do a good job, so it's best to be a thug.He looks rough and fierce, but in fact he is as fine as a ghost.Those who can be provoked can be bullied, and those who cannot be provoked can be sent to me.

That being the case, I called Yuan Gui over to have a look.

"Yuan Kang's son Yuan Yu returned to Luoyang from Yizhou, and Yuan Shu recommended him to be an official." Liu Xie glanced at Simpi and took the initiative to reveal the answer. "Are you familiar with this man?"

Simpi breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head, and said with some embarrassment: "I have little knowledge, rarely go to Luoyang, and have never met Yuan Gui."

Liu Xie didn't care. "It's okay, when he comes, I will introduce you to meet each other."
