I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 402 The Heart of the Han Dynasty Has Changed
After hearing the name of the person in front of him, Liu Jian paid attention to it.

He hastily ordered someone to serve food and wine, and personally entertained Zhizhong, who was sitting down with the prefect of Luoyang.

If Liu Jian remembers correctly, Dong Zhao in history should have assisted Yuan Shao first, and then left Yuan Shao for some reason and went to Zhang Yang in Bingzhou.

Later, when Zhang Yang greeted the emperor, Dong Zhao also followed this incident to gain a wave of prestige and became a close minister of the emperor in the court.

It's just that he didn't expect that the current Dong Zhao would actually work under Lu Zhi's subordinates.

But if you think about it carefully, Yuan Shao did not stay in the north during this period, but went to the south.

Thinking about it, no matter how much Dong Zhao admired Yuan Shao, he couldn't run away from his family and go to the south to vote for him.

And Lu Zhi, a well-known scholar in the country, seems to be more suitable for Dong Zhao's appetite in terms of status.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Dong Zhao to be requisitioned by Lu Zhi.

Liu Jian set up a banquet and invited Dong Zhao to have a meal together, and someone brought the fine wine he brought from Jizhou to drink with Dong Zhao.

For Liu Jian's generosity, Dong Zhao seemed to have expected it, and did not show too much surprise.

Dong Zhao's calmness made Liu Jian very interested.

He asked while eating with Dong Zhao.

"Gongren and I didn't know each other before, but now we treat each other with a grand banquet in the army. If we were replaced by someone else, we were either shocked or overjoyed or jealous, but I see Gongren as calm and composed. It's not just pretending, isn't my grand banquet, Liu Jian, so worthless in Mr.'s eyes?"

Dong Zhao heard the words and put down the wine bar, and stood up hastily.

He gave a long salute to Liu Jian, and said: "The name of Junhou is heard all over the world. Zhao has heard of it a long time ago. He heard that Junhou has made great contributions to the great man since he was young. He has made outstanding achievements over the years. Everyone has their strengths, and now he is a first-class figure in the world, Dong Zhao is just a small official, how can he not be happy to be treated so favorably by the princes?"

Liu Jian smiled and said, "But I don't see any surprise on your part at all."

Dong Zhao said very solemnly: "What Zhao Shicai said is that he is delighted by the kindness of the monarch, but he is not surprised."

Liu Jian said: "Why? You have never seen me before."

Dong Zhaodao: "Zhao Shicai has already said that the general has made many contributions to the great man since he was young, and he has made many achievements for the great man, especially in the recent years of running Hebei. It is not surprising that such a hero will do anything."

"Because the general is not an ordinary person, how can he use ordinary people's actions to save him?"

Dong Zhao's words, whether flattering or sincere, can reflect a problem.

That is, this person is not an ordinary person. His mind is extremely calm and wise, and he can adapt to any situation.

He can speak some words without thinking.

"Gongren's benevolence, talent and sensitivity are really admirable, and I respect you!"

"Thank you, General."

Dong Zhao then had a drink with Liu Jian.

After putting down the wine baron, I heard Dong Zhao say: "I will tell you the truth, General, in fact, Zhao has long wanted to meet the General."

Liu Jian filled his wine cup with wine again.

He held up the wine cup: "It's Liu Jian's luck to get to know Gongren. You and I will drink a cup together."

Dong Zhao and Liu Jian had another drink.Then I heard him sigh with emotion: "The reason why Dong Zhao wants to meet the general is that in Dong Zhao's view, although there are many heroes in the world, the only one who can restore peace to the world and save the common people is the general."

Liu Jian shook his head and said, "Gongren praised me too much."

Dong Zhaodao: "Dong Zhao is not a flatterer, but sincere and sincere. Today, all the heroes are rising together, the princes are in chaos, the country is in danger of being overwhelmed with eggs, and the common people are in danger of hanging upside down. Look at the actions of all the shepherds in the world. No one cares about the court, no one cares about the people."

"Only after General Zuo arrived in Hebei, he first set up an association, then cultivated farmland, mined minerals, and all businesses prospered."

"Under the rule of Hebei, from the top officials and dignitaries, down to the head of Li Shu and Guizhou, all have enough food and clothing and a stable life because of General Zuo. Seeing that General Zuo is the master who can rejuvenate the great Han!"

Dong Zhao's last sentence was rather reserved, and at the same time, it was more or less tentative.

Liu Jian is a smart person, so he can understand what Dong Zhao said.

What Dong Zhaoshi just said was "the master who rejuvenated the Han Dynasty", not "the person who rejuvenated the Han Dynasty".

In fact, it depends on how you understand it.

Do you want to say that he has a heart of disobedience?Then let's pick out the words of these words carefully, and you will find that he is indeed a little dishonest.

But you have to force this statement on his head, other words can also be interpreted in other ways.

The "lord" I mean is "the lord of a place", not the lord of a country. Why do you say that I have a bad mind?
While drinking, Liu Jian's mind changed sharply.

Are Dong Zhao's words testing himself?

But if you think about it, it's not necessary at all.

In his capacity, even if he found out that he was ambitious, so what?

If he didn't admit it when he came out of this tent, could Dong Zhao still have the ability to discredit him?

To be honest, if he really wants to discredit himself, he doesn't need to test himself here at all. If he wants to discredit a person these days, does he still need to test whether he is really ambitious?

Dong Zhao in history was a speculator. For example, when Zhang Yang flattered Liu Xie, Dong Zhao took the opportunity to enter the court.

Later, he became an important minister of the Wei Dynasty by advising Cao Cao to move the capital to Xuchang.

But there is a premise for him to do these things-that is, he feels that this court, that is, the current supreme power of the Han Dynasty, is hopeless.

Many people are currently losing patience with the Chang'an court.

Even though the current imperial court is more stable than in history, the common people and prominent families of the Han Dynasty have gradually developed different opinions in this world of great controversy.

People's hearts have really changed.

Why do people's hearts change?

Maybe it's because of the constant wars.

Perhaps it is because of the balance of the sky that the local tyrants have suffered huge losses.

Perhaps it was because of the imperial examination system that the top officials lost the resources to monopolize official careers.

Maybe it's because the court is now controlled by Dong Zhuo.

Perhaps it was because the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty could not get used to Dong Zhuo, so they were bound together with the emperor, the Empress Dowager He...

There are so many reasons.

For these reasons, Chang'an, the seat of the highest power, lost the hearts of the people.

Of course, this does not mean that the political groups in Chang'an did not do well.

On the contrary, perhaps it was because the imperial court did so well that a naturally rebellious boy like Dong Zhao decided to find another way out.

Of course, such anti-bone boys are also available.

After Liu Jian was silent for a while, he finally spoke slowly.

"If you can do something useful for the great Han world, and for the great Han people, Jian is willing to do something that ordinary people can't do."

Liu Jian's words were also extremely cryptic.

If you say that he has great ambitions, what he said is considered to be ambitious.

If you think that these words are disobedient, then in fact, they are almost indistinguishable.

Dong Zhao knew what Liu Jian said.

He gave Liu Jian a long salute.

"The general has great ambitions and cares about thousands of people. Although Zhao is not talented, he is willing to help him with all his strength to help the general achieve great things."

Liu Jian hurriedly stood up, came to Dong Zhao's side, helped him up, and personally led him to the seat, and let him sit down again.

"Gongren, you and I are both concerned about the country, for the country and for the people, there is no need to do this, but according to Gongren's opinion, the world of the Great Han is now in such a state of chaos, whether it is the princes of the world, or the leaders of various places, and now there are still students... None of them follow the law! It seems that if this is going to set the world right and everything on the right track, what should Liu do?"

Dong Zhaoyan said: "General Xingyi soldiers to punish riots, assist the emperor, and revitalize the royal family. This is also the contribution of the five uncles. All the generals in the world have different opinions, and they may not obey. It is inconvenient to leave the emperor in Guanzhong. The only way is to move." Fortunately, Ye Er, it is the best policy."
