Great Military Division

Chapter 460 For the sake of Jiangshan, let your majesty accept the concubine!

As we all know, Liu Yu adopted a gentle policy towards the aliens, moving them inward, Sinicizing them as much as possible, and becoming part of the power that the imperial court could use, just like the Southern Huns at the beginning.

But Gongsun Zan was different. His attitude towards Wuhuan had always been very clear. He wanted to exterminate Wuhuan in order to truly protect the people in the border counties. This hatred had been accumulated for a long time and could not be easily eliminated.

Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan have always had conflicts, but in the final analysis, the conflict is that the two sides have different attitudes towards alien races. It is precisely because of this that things like suppression and restraint occur, which intensifies the conflict.

But no matter what, Liu Yu is a shepherd in Youzhou and has a great reputation in Youzhou. Both the Han people and Wuhuan respect Liu Yu very much. This is the main reason why he can fight Yuan Shao undefeated for a year.

Facts have proved that Liu Yu's gentle policy towards Wuhuan still played a certain role, otherwise Wuhuan would not have continued to assist Liu Yu in defending the city for nearly a year.

of course!

Wuhuan's behavior is directly related to the fact that their strength has been greatly weakened after Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun's rebellion. Once they regain their vitality, no one knows whether they will have a rebellious heart.

After all, the Wuhuan people who already had a criminal record were not trustworthy at all, so Gongsun Zan's attitude towards the Wuhuan people was extremely normal.

As far as Liu Bian was concerned, neither of these two people was right or wrong, and they all had their own reasons. They were all thinking of the people of Dahan Border County, but their methods were different.

One is looking forward to long-term stability under the peaceful mode, and the other is long-term stability under the violent mode. One is more about long-term effects, and the other is more about short-term results.

Liu Bian pointed to Liu Yu, which can be said to hit the point: "You should be clear that the attitude towards the Wuhuan people is the core of the conflict between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan. If they can't be properly resolved, they will eventually be incompatible. "

Guo Jia and Jia Xu didn't know this point, and even the big man has been entangled in this issue for hundreds of years, and even more negative people have even proposed the nonsense idea of ​​​​abandoning Liangzhou.

"This"

Guo Jia and Jia Xu are not easy to express their thoughts.

After all, this is a national policy, because it is determined by the emperor's will, but now, Guo Jia and Jia Xu are not sure about the emperor's temper and attitude towards foreigners.

This means choosing one between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan. Choosing Gongsun Zan means abandoning Liu Yu. For Guo Jia and Jia Xu, it is really difficult to give opinions.

It was precisely because of this that the two of them brought this issue to the emperor's case, hoping that His Majesty the Emperor could come up with an idea so that they could start the next work.

Guo Jia pondered for a while, and finally made a bow: "Your Majesty, in fact, whether it is Liu Yu or Gongsun, their starting point is good, and they are not completely opposite."

"I think"

Speaking of this, Guo Jia let out a sigh of relief and said softly: "If we can combine the two into one, it will be the final solution to the alien race."

"kindness."

Liu Bian did not object, nodded slowly, and asked, "Wen He, what do you think?"

Jia Xu paused for a moment, and bowed: "As the saying goes: To rule chaos, violence is the rule, and to rule peace is benevolence! But chaos and peace can be transformed into each other. When the court is strong, the foreign races dare not act rashly. Naturally, when the court declines, the foreign races will It breeds rebellion."

"Throughout the past and present, there is no dynasty that can last forever. Therefore, I think that apart from gentleness and toughness, none of them can make the border county stable."

"People walk on their legs, and the stability of Bianjun also requires benevolence and justice, and a strong hand. Together, we can truly realize the long-term stability of Bianjun."

"Although, the imperial court was like this before, but it was obviously not strong enough, benevolence and righteousness were not enough to penetrate the hearts of the Hu Han people, and toughness was not enough to break everything, so that Wuhuan did not dare to breed dissent. Only when the two are out of balance can the peaceful situation be broken."

"but."

Speaking of this, Jia Xu took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly: "Nowadays, with His Majesty sitting in the imperial court, within a hundred years, Wuhuan dare not give birth to two hearts."

"However, what will happen after a hundred years from His Majesty? No one can tell. Therefore, His Majesty should start with the imperial court system and fundamentally ensure the long-term peace and stability of the border county chief."

Jia Xu is a native of Wuwei Guzang, and a thoroughgoing Bianjun native. He naturally understands the situation in Bianjun better than Guo Jia, so these words can be said to be from the bottom of his heart.

You know, Jia Xu even said "Your Majesty will be a hundred years later". Such words are really disrespectful. Doesn't Jia Xu know that this is wrong?

The answer is obviously no.

He was sincerely thinking about Bian County, and wanted to truly realize the long-term peace and stability of Bian County, so he dared to risk his beheading to say such a thing.

Liu Bian understood Jia Xu's sincerity, so naturally he didn't mean to blame Jia Xu.

He took a deep breath, stood up, bypassed the long table, turned to the side sand table, and beckoned: "Come here."

Jia Xu and Guo Jia followed behind, hesitating in their hearts, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in His Majesty's gourd.

"Look."

Liu Bian pointed to a slanted line on the sand table, and said softly: "This line was added by me not long ago. With this line as a boundary, the left side is a relatively arid area, which is the area where foreigners often appear."

"And on the right side of this line is the area with a lot of precipitation all year round, which is the area where our Han people live. Because of the abundant precipitation, we live a farming life, while the aliens live a nomadic life. Way."

"You should know that in winter, nomadic areas are always prone to extremely severe snow disasters, which makes it impossible for nomadic people to survive."

"It is precisely because of this that they always go to rob some food from the people in the border counties. Therefore, there has always been a great contradiction between the nomadic people and the farming people."

"I think that if we really want to make the border county stable and long-term, in the final analysis, we must change the way of life of the nomads as much as possible, fix them, solve their food and clothing, and use various means to make them belong to the .”

hiss-!
Guo Jia was astonished, and couldn't help gasping: "Your Majesty's line really fully embodies our nomadic pastoralism and farming. This is indeed the root of the conflict between the two sides."

"But Your Majesty."

Speaking of this, Guo Jia frowned: "How can we make the nomads settle down? The grain production in the north is already very low. If our own problems are difficult to solve, how can we take care of them."

"Clover!"

Liu Bian spat out two words.

"Clover?"

Guo Jia was stunned, not knowing what he meant.

After all, when Liu Bian proposed Alfalfa, Guo Jia hadn't attached himself yet.

And alfalfa has always been Liu Bian's trump card and secret weapon for raising cavalry, so few people know about it.

However, now that he has already faced this problem, Liu Bian doesn't need to hide it anymore: "That's right, it's alfalfa. The court's war horses are fed by alfalfa."

"Tens of thousands of war horses need to consume too much fodder every year. I rely on alfalfa to ensure the support of the war horses. This kind of stuff is resistant to cold and drought, with high yield and high quality. I just planned a small area, so I can It can raise tens of thousands of war horses."

"If it is planted in the north where the land is sparsely populated, the nomads no longer have to move around, and can live in one place. It can not only feed horses, but can even be used as medicine to stop bleeding, and can be eaten as a vegetable."

Jia Xu was amazed: "There is such a thing in this world?"

Liu Bian nodded: "Of course! In my plan, the north of Yanshan Mountain will be my horse farm in the future. If there is no countermeasure in advance, what are you talking about Zhongxing Han Dynasty? This alfalfa is one of the trump cards I have prepared .”

Guo Jia heard the outer string of His Majesty's words: "Does Your Majesty have other trump cards?"

"of course."

Liu Bian said affirmatively, "Of course there are."

Guo Jia bowed very solemnly: "I hope Your Majesty will not hesitate to enlighten me."

At the side, Jia Xu also bowed and saluted: "I hope Your Majesty will give you some advice."

Liu Bian had already thought up his argument, so he gave the answer directly: "Although people can eat alfalfa, most of them still need to be fed to horses, cattle and sheep."

"If you want to fundamentally solve the problem of the stability of nomads, you need to find crops that are truly resistant to cold and drought. Alfalfa alone will definitely not work."

"very lucky."

With a smile on his face, Liu Bian said softly: "In the early years when I was in the imperial court's East View, I once saw in a book that somewhere overseas, there was a kind of crop called corn and potato, which not only had a high yield , and drought and cold tolerance.”

Even now, corn and wheat are the main crops in Inner Mongolia, and there will be a lot of arable land per capita here, which is very conducive to the development of mechanized farming.

"Currently, the navy of the imperial court is also in the process of preparation. When the whole country is unified in the future, when we go out to fight, we can find this thing and use it to settle down the alien race. It will definitely turn grazing into farming."

"In addition, the imperial court will build roads to Mobei and build cities to Mobei. Using the roads as a network and the city as a point, completely expand Mobei to our Han territory. This is the way to long-term stability."

Guo Jia and Jia Xu couldn't help their blood boiling: "Your Majesty, does this really exist in this world?"

Liu Bian nodded affirmatively: "Of course, how could the sages lie!"

call-

Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly: "If this is the case, the navy is indeed imminent. As long as we can find corn that is resistant to cold and drought, why worry about the world being unstable."

Jia Xu pinched a strand of beard under his chin, and there was a faint hope on his old face: "If this is done, your majesty's achievements will surpass those of Emperor Qin, Han and Wu, and be recorded in history."

"I don't ask for those false names."

Liu Bian waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "History is for future generations to comment on. I only hope that in my lifetime, the great man will stand proudly in the world, be with the mountains and rivers, and shine with the sun and the moon."

Guo Jia felt admiration, cupped his hands and cupped his fists: "If the state-owned king is like this, the prosperity of the great Han will be just around the corner."

Jia Xu bowed deeply again: "It's my honor to be able to serve His Majesty in this life."

Liu Bian smiled lightly, and waved his hands to signal the two to get up: "Okay, do you know how to reply this time?"

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand."

"it is good."

Liu Bian let out a long breath, and said softly: "Since that's the case, let's step back for now. This year's winter festival will be the same as last year. The court will commend some meritorious officials."

Guo Jia bowed her body and cupped her hands: "Your Majesty understands, don't worry, this year's Winter Festival will definitely not have the events of previous years."

Liu Bian nodded: "That's very good."

Immediately.

The two bowed and left the warm pavilion backwards.

Just as Guo Jia and Jia Xu left the Nuan Pavilion, Xun Yu, who had been waiting at the side earlier, came up to him directly: "Feng Xiao, Wen He, the two of you have stayed here for a long time, I have to wait for a while."

"Oh?"

Guo Jia was slightly taken aback: "Wen Ruo is looking for us, what's the matter?"

Xun Yu nodded: "Yes, and it's very important. Come with me, let's go to a place."

Guo Jia frowned: "Wen Ruo, what's the matter, you can just say it, is it necessary to be so mysterious?"

Xun Yu smiled calmly: "When we get to the place, I will tell you of course, so don't inquire about it."

Guo Jia shrugged and glanced at Jia Xu: "In that case, let's go with Wen Ruo."

Jia Xu twisted his beard and said, "Could it be for the Winter Festival celebration?"

"It's kind of related."

Xun Yu shook his head as he walked: "But it doesn't matter too much, so don't guess, you will understand after a while."

Jia Xu had no choice but to follow up: "Okay, let's go, and see what he is going to do."

The three of them left the palace all the way, and there was already a carriage waiting beside them.

Get in the car, travel all the way south, arrive at the bus department.

"Bus Department?"

Guo Jia was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help being curious: "What are you doing at the bus station?"

Xun Yu said softly, "Mr. Jieshuijing, together."

Guo Jia clicked his tongue: "This matter is still related to Mr. Shui Jing?"

Xun Yu smiled lightly: "Not only Mr. Shui Jing, but also many officials. You will find out later."

Guo Jia shook his head: "It's so mysterious."

Soon.

Sima Hui came out of the bus station and got on the bus straight away, with a slightly sad expression on his face.

Xun Yu said softly, "Sir, are you still worrying about Kong Wenju and You Zhengping?"

Sima Hui didn't hide it, and nodded: "Yes, Kong Wenju and You Zhengping, these two people's articles are excellent, and they are also very prestigious among scholars, but it's a pity that their political achievements are really poor."

"Yu Fan and Xu Yan, you also know that they don't show affection at all. According to the supervision process of the imperial court, these two people will be dismissed."

Xun Yu was amazed: "Oh? Kong Wenju, You Zhengping's political achievements are too poor?"

Sima Hui sighed and said, "Oh, it's not just poor, it's simply unsightly. Kong Rong is ranked second to last, and Mi Heng is ranked first to last. These two people are considered confidants, and they write poems and poems all day long. But that’s all it is.”

"These two are participating in the second round of debates these days. Kong Rong is very good at eloquence by citing scriptures, and Mi Heng is also very good at writing. When the two cooperate, they always surpass the ancient classics."

"Fortunately, His Majesty is here. Every time there is a difficulty, His Majesty can always convince Kong Rong and Mi Heng. Otherwise, this debate will really become the home field of these two people."

"The most important thing is that these two people have a better reputation among scholars now. If the imperial court issues an edict to dismiss them, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."

How could Xun Yu not understand Sima Hui's meaning, but he still twisted his beard and said: "The surveillance system is the essence of survival of the fittest. Since we find people who are not suitable for official positions, we must dismiss them and replace them with capable people. .”

"Mr. Shui Jing, is it possible that because these two are celebrities, you want to make them government officials and harm the common people? You must not hesitate on this point."

Sima Hui nodded and nodded: "Wen Ruo is at ease, the old man can still stick to this principle, but the old man can't just have the principle, but also consider the consequences clearly, and then minimize the unnecessary impact. Responsible."

"kindness."

Xun Yu nodded, and praised: "Mr. Shui Jing is like this, it is really His Majesty's blessing."

Sima Hui said softly: "This is originally the job of an old man."

On the opposite side, Jia Xu pinched a strand of beard under his chin, and said softly: "Officials are the foundation of the court. Only by adhering to the bottom line can the foundation be consolidated. Only in this way can the great man be truly rejuvenated. Your Majesty's choice of Mr. is really a wise move."

"Shame! Shame!"

Sima Hui waved his hand, sighed, and changed the subject: "Oh, by the way, are everyone here? Could it be that we are the last wave of people? This is not good."

"rest assured."

Xun Yu said softly, "Probably not."

Guo Jia frowned, and tried to ask: "Could it be that Mr. Shui Jing knows what to do here?"

Sima Hui naturally realized that Xun Yu hadn't told them, and pondered for a moment: "You will know sooner or later, it's nothing to say now, it's actually very simple, now the court has passed the most dangerous moment and is completely on the right track."

"However, Your Majesty still has no heirs. The two of you should also be aware that all the emperors of the Great Han Dynasty ascended the throne at a young age. This caused the foreign relatives to intervene in politics and eunuchs to usurp power, and the cycle continued."

"Although His Majesty has ordered that foreign relatives officials are not allowed to become the court's nine ministers, generals of four towns or above, harem concubines are not allowed to interfere in politics for any reason, and eunuchs are not allowed to have official positions in the court. This has killed the possibility of foreign relatives and eunuchs taking turns in power."

"but."

Sima Hui said loudly: "Your Majesty's heirs are still related to the stability of the country. This is a point of view raised during the debate two days ago. Lu Gong, Yang Gong and others deeply agreed, so they decided to persuade Your Majesty to accept the concubine. Strive to give birth to a prince as soon as possible."

Guo Jia said without hesitation: "This is a good thing. Your Majesty and the Empress have long been married, but now there is no prince. Although the Empress is virtuous and virtuous, it is a matter of state affairs after all. We have to start to play a role."

"Yes."

Jia Xu also strongly agreed: "Now the conditions of the imperial court are better, the house is warm in winter and cool in summer, even the children of ordinary people, fewer and fewer people die early, and it is time for Your Majesty to give birth to a prince."

"it is good!"

Jia Xu nodded affirmatively: "This matter should indeed be put on the agenda. All of our officials will join us in admonishing it. I think His Majesty will consider it carefully even if he doesn't want to."

"Yes."

Xun Yu pinched the goatee under his chin: "I've heard people say that Tang Mao often went to the palace to persuade the queen to give birth to a prince for her majesty, but after so long, the queen has never made any movement. The body is not good enough to conceive a dragon."

"Since this is the case, we can only persuade His Majesty to choose a concubine. Taking advantage of the stability of the imperial court, we can strive to get married as soon as possible and give birth to a prince for the royal family, so as to educate him early."

Guo Jia smiled lightly, and raised his eyes to look at Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, if you didn't tell me before, are you afraid that the guards in the palace will tell the Queen about this?"

"kindness."

Xun Yu nodded affirmatively: "The Queen is the one who accompanied Your Majesty all the way from Luoyang. I know that their feelings are sincere. If this matter gets to the Queen's ears, I'm afraid it will make the Queen sad."

"Besides, once His Majesty is vigilant in advance, I'm afraid he will take some actions for the queen. In this way, we may have to shelve the matter of persuading His Majesty to choose a concubine."

Everyone knows what kind of temper the current emperor has. If he is not willing to do something, he will find ten thousand ways to refuse, and each reason is sufficient, so that you have no possibility of objecting.

The emperor and the empress used to stand together through thick and thin and supported each other. They can be said to be a husband and wife with a deep affection, and their relationship has far exceeded that of a husband and wife in the ordinary sense. If the empress is wronged, the emperor may not agree.

Surprise attack!

This is the method that Lu Zhi thought of, although it is relatively stupid, it is effective.

Guo Jia was too aware of the emperor's temper, nodded and said: "It is true that this matter should not be made public. We'd better find an appropriate time to talk about it, otherwise the success rate will not be high."

"Your Majesty's heart is higher than the sky, and he has great ambitions. The love of his children is definitely not within his consideration. If the timing is not right, it may not be so easy to agree in the future."

Xun Yu nodded: "So, this time, let's discuss the matter carefully, how to persuade and how to choose the time, so that His Majesty can agree."

"Follow filial piety."

Speaking of this, Xun Yu said softly: "You know His Majesty's temper very well, and you have a great say in this matter. You'd better think about it now, when is the best time for us to advise you."

"it is good."

Guo Jia did not refuse, and nodded: "Leave this matter to me. I will think about it carefully. If the sooner the better, the Winter Festival Hall is a good choice."

"Yes."

Jia Xu also followed suit and said: "Cao Cao and Xu Rong defeated the Yellow Turban, and also captured Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Guo Tu alive. Yuan Shao lost his arm and lost his strength. Next year, hundreds of thousands of troops will besiege him, and he will surely die."

"We communicated with His Majesty just now, and judging from His Majesty's tone, he is already planning things after the unification of the Han Dynasty, and it seems to be fruitful, and he is in a good mood."

Xun Yu was overjoyed: "That's great. After a while, it will be the Winter Festival Ceremony. It can be said that happiness is added to happiness, and double happiness is coming. If you can bring it up at this time, Your Majesty will not refuse."

Urge-!
At this moment, Yoyo's carriage stopped slowly, and a voice sounded from outside the carriage: "Patriarch, Duke Lu's mansion has arrived, we can get out of the carriage."

Xun Yu said kindly: "Okay, everyone, let's talk about it after we go in."

Everyone nodded: "Let's go."

immediately.

They all got out of the car and went straight to Lu Zhi's mansion.
