Humane Yongchang

Chapter 279 Xunzi

When the Confidential Office came to report to Chen Sheng that Han Xin entered the Youzhou Qushuai, it happened that Li Sigang stepped into the county governor's office to report the matter to Chen Sheng, but before he could speak, he was given by the confidential officer who stepped into the county governor's office with his back foot. preempted.

The sophisticated Li Si has always restrained his curiosity about the Confidential Office, an independent organization that has suddenly appeared, does not interfere in any daily work of the Han Dynasty, and is only responsible for Chen Sheng.

Neither have tried to place personnel in the confidential places in the past.

He also did not dare to investigate any work in the confidential place.

Because he recognized several confidential personnel in the confidential place, all of them from the Chen family.

The only few times the confidential office had work interactions with him was to transfer the resumes of three county magistrates from him... and then, the three chief officials were bad luck, even their heads That kind of bad luck that's gone!

Li Si wandered around the world for a long time, and came back to see Chen Sheng in the hall. He also crossed his hands on the case and frowned, thinking about it, and then he felt something different, and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, what is so special about this person Han Xin? where?"

He has always been adhering to the working principle of "don't say what shouldn't be said, and don't ask what shouldn't be asked", but such a seemingly ordinary trivial matter, Chen Sheng has thought about it for so long, obviously there is something he can't figure out.

Sharing the worries of the monarch is also their duty as ministers.

Of course, as long as Chen Sheng mentioned anything else, he would immediately forget everything he had just heard, just pretending that he had never heard it before.

This is the tacit understanding between the ruler and his ministers.

"What's special?"

Chen Sheng came back to his senses, and said with a faint chuckle: "Of course he has something special, but what I am more concerned about is the secret behind the incident of Taiping Road pushing Han Xin to be the superior Youzhou Qushuai!"

Seeing that Chen Sheng was interested in discussing this matter with him, Li Si then diverged his thoughts, and based on some of the circumstances he had grasped, he reviewed the matter from the beginning to the end, and quickly said: "The minister must remember that if it's right, the previous Taiping Road does not have the position of Youzhou Canal Commander, right?"

"As expected of Mr. Li!"

Chen Sheng clapped his hands and praised: "I saw the key to the matter at a glance!"

Li Siyi thanked him with a hand, but his face did not show any color.

He also frowned slightly, carefully peeling away the cocoon, and exploring the hidden meaning behind this incident.

Seeing this, Chen Sheng stopped talking in a hurry, picked up the tea cup in front of the case leisurely, and sipped it in small sips.

Leaving aside the secrets behind this incident, just the performance of Han Xin's superior Youzhou Qu Shuai is not an ordinary problem!
He really didn't expect that Zhang Ping's tricks would be so poisonous. Just relying on the battle of Julu Zhiwei, he discovered Han Xin's outstanding military talents, and he had this one step in place, and directly praised Han Xin as the first state canal commander. courage!

This caught him by surprise. The agent he sent to contact Han Xin was only just arriving in Julu...

According to his previous deduction of the situation in Kyushu, even if Taiping Road has survived the siege of the three-way army of the Great Zhou court this year, the momentum will turn into a downhill road, and it will be slowly eroded by the reorganized court until it is completely defeated.

This is definitely not his wishful thinking. According to the previous situation, the probability of this ending happening is over 80.00%!

After all, the limitations of the uprising army are just there. No matter how loudly he shouts the slogan of Taiping Road, it is impossible to conjure soldiers and forage out of thin air to confront the court.

But now with the variable of Han Xin... the future trend of the situation has become confusing again!

It is uncertain, Taiping Road can really fight with the Great Zhou court for ten or eight years.

'Tsk, Soldier Immortal...'

Chen Sheng sighed with a headache, and secretly asked why he didn't have such good luck. He finally got a Meng Tian, ​​which was like a stone in a thatched pit, stinky and hard, and refused to surrender.

Tai Ping Dao is obviously doing a lot of evil, and he can even do such heinous acts of feeding demons, but he can still have a top star like Han Xin to vote.

Good and evil pay off?

Pooh!
It didn't take long for Li Si to let out a soft sigh of relief, and said with a bow: "Your Majesty is concerned, but the Taiping Road is not good for the Youzhou army, and the civil strife among the commanders of the Taiping Road?"

Chen Sheng glanced at him a little surprised, but then he was relieved to dissipate the surprise in his heart.

I've been holding on to this old guy for so long that I almost forgot, he's Li Si...

"That's right!"

Chen Sheng nodded: "Although I have no reliable evidence to prove that Taiping Dao colluded with aliens and acted as a tiger, all signs show that Taiping Dao is connected with the north and the south!"

"As strong as the Youzhou Army, Taiping Road may not have the courage to directly attack the Youzhou Army, but if they control Youzhou, they will only cut off the Youzhou Army's baggage supply, which is enough for the Youzhou Army to drink a pot."

"The great formation of Kyushu is broken and the world is in turmoil. This should have been the time when my sons and daughters of Kyushu united, defending the family and defending the country and resisting alien races."

"My generation was forced to raise the flag against Zhou, but no matter what, this is a family matter within my Kyushu people!"

"My generation should not and cannot be an accomplice to encourage aliens to slaughter my children in Kyushu!"

"This is a consideration!"

"Furthermore, it's not surprising that the talent of Han Xin as the Yellow Turban will be appointed as the handsome man!"

"But why is it not the commander of Qingzhou Qu? Not the commander of Yangzhou?"

"Yangzhou Sima Zhu is nothing more, although he has no merit, he has no faults."

"But that Qingzhou Song Yi, if you want to say that Zhang Ping still has no grudge against him, I definitely don't believe it!"

"If I moved from another place, if I were Zhang Ping, I would definitely take advantage of the merits and rewards after the Battle of Julu, take Song Yi's position as Qingzhou Qu's commander, and choose another wise man, Han Xin, the Yellow Turban who contributed to Taiping Road. General, is obviously the best candidate..."

"But Zhang Ping not only didn't replace Song Yi with Han Xin, instead, Han Xin was assigned to Youzhou by the commanders of Youzhou who had no soldiers and no generals..."

"I have enough reasons to suspect that there has been a gap between the commanders of Taiping Road. These commanders with soldiers and generals violate Zhang Ping's orders, and they may even have the will to stand on their own!"

"Han Xin is the victim of their internal power struggle in Taiping Dao. His position as Youzhou Canal Commander is most likely not a reward, but a distribution!"

"If the Taiping Road really falls apart, and the five states of Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, and Yang will be in chaos, then where will my Han court go?"

Chen Sheng calmly expressed the worries in his heart, and then lifted the tea cup to moisten his throat.

His Highness Li Si was a little lost.

He thought of these two points, but he couldn't think of them completely.

At least for the discord within Taiping Road, he just had a wrong guess.

But when I heard Chen Sheng say it, it was clear that when the Shuai Qu from Taiping Road sat together and blushed, he sat on the sidelines and watched!
Without leaving home, Chen Sheng was able to infer so many secrets just by saying "Han Xin accumulated meritorious deeds to Youzhou Canal Shuai".

It shows that his grasp of the general situation of Kyushu, as well as his grasp of the subtle state of all aspects, has reached its peak!
You have this skill before you reach the crown... Really, it's so terrifying!

Li Si came to the conclusion of this incident based on his vision and experience accumulated over the decades as an official, and compared with Chen Sheng's conclusion on this incident, he felt that Chen Sheng was unfathomable!
Even with it, the tall, straight and heroic figure in the hall seems to be magnified a thousand times, as majestic as a mountain!
"Mr. Li..."

Seeing that the old guy was distracted, Chen Sheng called out angrily.

Li Si suddenly came back to his senses, got up in a hurry as if he was frightened, and bowed to Chen Sheng to the end: "The minister is here!"

Chen Sheng supported the empty space: "If you say something, just say it, and what to do with a big gift... How can Duke Li teach me about these two concerns?"

Li Si instinctively opened his mouth, wanting to express a few comments, but when he thought of Chen Sheng's clear thinking as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes, he swallowed the words when they reached his lips, and said with a hand: "Go back to the king, this is the matter. The body is big, and the subordinates have to go back and think carefully before they dare to remonstrate with the king!"

That's what he said, but what he thought was 'don't be ashamed of yourself'.

Chen Sheng smiled helplessly, and said in his heart, "That's right." After thinking about it for so long, he couldn't come up with a clue. How could Li Si come up with a solution so quickly?

'It's beyond the reach of the whip! '

He sighed softly in his heart and said with a smile: "By the way, what is the important thing for Mr. Li to come here?"

Li Si was stunned for a while, then recalled his intention of coming, and hurriedly waved his hand again: "Reporting to the king, the family and the ministers, said that the Confucianism intends to open the door to teach apprentices in the Jixia Academy of Chenjun County, and I implore the king to be kind. allow!"

"Tutor?"

Chen Shenglue pondered for a while, then frowned and asked, "Xun Qing?"

'Qing' is an honorable title, and his correct title is "Xunzi", the teacher of Li Si and Han Fei, the Confucian "post-sage", and the bearer of contemporary Confucianism and Legalism!
Li Si nodded: "Exactly!"

After hesitating for a few breaths, Chen Sheng said, "Isn't what Confucianism advocates 'Heaven and Earth's parents and teachers'?"

The implication is, why would I open the door to teach apprentices on the site of a rebel leader?
Li Si understood and whispered: "Back to the king, it is natural to advocate 'the monarch of heaven and earth', but well, the Confucian family members who have entered the office will be the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Chen Sheng was stunned for a while, then secretly said, "Wonderful": "Then what kind of class does Xun Qing want to teach at my Jixia Academy? Is it still the kind of benevolent people who love people and govern the country with courtesy and music?"

Li Si replied: "Back to the king, according to the handwriting of the tutor, this class is mainly about 'Zibuyu's strange power and chaos'."

　The last day off, I will update it normally tomorrow. If the recovery is good, I will make up for it tomorrow~
