I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 403 General Zuo Will Not Put Thousands of People in Fire and Water

If Dong Zhao's words were placed on someone else's body, it might make people feel excited, but in Liu Jian's ears, it just made Liu Jian feel that Dong Zhao is really too utilitarian, and he is also a person who is eager for success .

Is it good for Liu Jian to welcome the emperor to Yecheng?
Is it good for the court?

Is it good for the people of the world?
To be honest, with the current state of the court, this move is not good for the Han Dynasty or Liu Jian.

At least not in the current situation.

Liu Jian has his own set of ideas and plans about how the court will deal with it after a few years, but this set of plans is definitely not as simple as Dong Zhao said.

Dong Zhao urged himself to please the emperor, but in fact it was only for his own benefit.

Regardless of how this matter is carried out and what impact it will have on the world, in the end, Dong Zhao will definitely become the biggest beneficiary of this matter, and his status will also be in Liu Jian's hands because of this matter. His subordinates have risen higher and higher, and they will even be trusted, and they have soared into the sky since then.

What a calculating man.

However, Liu Jian did not express his dislike for Dong Zhao on the surface.

On the contrary, after listening to Dong Zhao's words, he still had a happy expression on his face.

"After listening to Gongren's words, it really opened Jian's mind. It's just that what Gongren said is too big, and it involves many problems. At present, the imperial court has no gaps to insert needles, so this matter is even more difficult for me. Disaster."

Dong Zhao also admitted what Liu Jian said.

Judging from the current situation, wanting to move the imperial court from Chang'an to Yecheng is tantamount to wishful thinking.

Dong Zhao bowed to Liu Jian seriously again.

"What the general said is true. With the current situation, it is naturally impossible to completely move the court to Yecheng."

"The key issue still lies with Dong Zhuo."

"Although today's emperor and queen mother hate Dong Zhuo secretly, they have to say that they still need to rely on Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo is in charge of all the generals of the Han Dynasty, as well as the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army. The basis for the Han Dynasty to maintain stability in Chang'an."

"But Dong Zhuo is old after all. He is over [-] years old. How many years can he live? The Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army are wild men who refuse to be disciplined. Once Dong Zhuo dies, the situation in Chang'an can collapse in an instant. At that time , is a great opportunity for the general to welcome the emperor."

After hearing Dong Zhao's words, Liu Jian couldn't help but pretended to be satisfied and nodded.

It seems that the person in front of him is already thinking about how to make the Han Dynasty more chaotic after Dong Zhuo's death.

However, although this person has bad intentions, it is not unusable.

And looking at the world, Dong Zhao is not the only one who has bad intentions towards the court?
Liu Jian cupped his hands at Dong Zhao: "It is really a blessing in Liu's life to get to know Gongren, but if I want to fulfill Gongren's plan for me, I still need an internal supporter in this imperial court. "

Dong Zhao immediately said: "If the general wants to achieve great things, he must have caring people in the court to help him. Although Zhao is not talented, he is willing to take on this great task."

Liu Jian laughed and said: "Although Gongren has a heart of sincerity, you are not a courtier, and now you are only under the rule of Master Lu in Luoyang..."

Dong Zhaodao: "Although Dong is currently only the governor of Lu's army, as long as I have the help of the general, I may not be able to enter the court."

After hearing this, Liu Jian was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed.

This Dong Zhao really took his own future and Dong Zhao's interests into account step by step.

He just drew a big cake for himself first, and then wanted him to help him enter the court.

It all fell to him alone.

However, Liu Jian was not dissatisfied with Dong Zhao's ideas.

Although this person's thoughts are relatively selfish and he has no regard for national interests, he is indeed a capable person.

Such a person with integrity should give himself an internal response in the court, so that he can rest assured.

As for the future Dong Zhao constructed, it doesn't matter if it doesn't match the future he constructed himself.

Anyway, everything will follow Liu Jian's idea in the end.

When thinking of this, Liu Jian raised the wine bar.

"Since Gongren really helps me, then Liu Jian will definitely not treat Gongren on behalf of him. Let me think about this matter. If there is a chance, I will definitely recommend you to the court."

Dong Zhao couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this.

"Thank you General!"

The matter related to the personal relationship between the two has been finished, so the next thing to talk about is naturally about the matter of Lu Zhi asking Dong Zhao to come to see Liu Jian this time.

"According to Gongren, why did Master Lu ask you to ask me about Luo Yangtai's students?"

Dong Zhao didn't say it directly.

He just asked Liu Jian: "Does the general want to hear the truth or lies?"

Liu Jian said: "With the current relationship between you and me, and my promise to you just now, do I still want to hear lies? I really hear enough lies every day."

Dong Zhao bowed to Liu Jian and said, "Then please trouble the general to tell Zhao whether the general did what happened to the Tai students?"

Liu Jian said without hesitation: "I did it."

Liu Jian's candid attitude made Dong Zhao very happy.

Extraordinary people do extraordinary things.

Liu Jian can be so frank with himself, not to mention whether he trusts him or not, but at least it shows that he intends to use himself sincerely now.

Then I heard Dong Zhao say:

"The general's doing this shows how wise and decisive the general is. It's far beyond what anyone can do. It's just that the general's ability is... a good thing or a bad thing for the court? Right now, the Fujun is somewhat speculative. "

Liu Jian asked with a smile: "Since Gongren is with my Master Lu, do you know what is going on in my Master Lu's heart?"

Dong Zhaodao: "Actually, what I think about Mr. Lu is just a guess or two."

"Try to say?"

Dong Zhaodao: "Actually, Mr. Lu is getting older, far from the enterprising spirit and wise views of his youth."

"Zhaohe is beside the Fujun, and I really feel that the Fujun is a rare loyal minister who is loyal to the Han Dynasty."

"Fujun has high expectations for the general, and he also hopes that the general can prosper the country, but Lu Fujun knows that although the general's ability is one of the best in this world, he doesn't want the general's ability to be used for chaos. I hope that the general's ability can be used to stabilize the country."

Liu Jian said with a smile: "This is strange. Since I became an official, everything I have done is for the prosperity of the country. I have never made chaos for my own self-interest. How could Master Lu have such a violent behavior?" What's your idea?"

Dong Zhaodao: "Perhaps the general has never acted like this, but the general's methods and the general's increasingly powerful reputation made Mr. Lu unknowingly worried, especially the general's method of dealing with the students..."

"Although I don't know what tactics the general used, but just looking at the general's ability to act, it proves that the general's political skills have surpassed most people in the world."

"With the general's political skills, it may not be impossible to overthrow the imperial court."

"However, in Lu Gong's view, the current imperial court is relatively stable and has not yet reached the point of collapse."

"If the general used his own strength to cause the court to collapse, in Lu Gong's opinion, it is indeed a bit unacceptable."

"Lu Gong doesn't want to see the world in chaos in the hands of the general...Even if the general inherits the supreme position of the world in the future, Lu Gong also hopes that the general will use a reasonable method instead of making trouble for profit."

"This may be what a teacher expects from his students."

Liu Jian smiled, he understood the meaning of Dong Zhao's words.

In fact, it's not that his teacher can't accept himself as emperor.

After all, he is also a clan member of the Han Dynasty.

The world is in danger, and he stands up to turn the tide. Not only will Lu Zhi not feel that he is going too far, but he will fully support him.

But if he secretly used all kinds of despicable means to mess up the current court and put all the people in misery in order to become the emperor, then from Lu Zhi's point of view, it would indeed be a bit sad.

To put it bluntly, his teacher Lu still hoped that he would rise to power in an aboveboard way, instead of resorting to too many schemes and tricks, and becoming the supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty on the premise of causing chaos in the world.

In fact, Liu Jian originally thought that Lu Zhi's thoughts must be superfluous. What kind of person is he?Doesn't his teacher know anything about it?

But after meeting Dong Zhao today, Liu Jian felt that Lu Zhi's worries might not be superfluous.

In this world, there may be too many people like Dong Zhao, who act for their own selfishness, harming the entire country and the interests of all ordinary people.

Who can guarantee that Liu Jian will not become such a person?

Liu Jian cupped his hands towards Dong Zhao: "I know the words of Gongren, don't worry, I will let people follow you to Xingyang to explain this matter to my teacher when I turn around."

Dong Zhao hurriedly said, "It's the best, it's the best."

……

After discussing with Dong Zhao, Liu Jian sent Sun Qian as an envoy to go to Xingyang with Dong Zhao to meet Lu Zhi.

After meeting Sun Qian, Lu Zhi seemed quite happy, after all, he was his brother from the same school, Zheng Xuan's disciple.

Now let him seize the opportunity, if it is not difficult to do something for Sun, wouldn't it be too uncomfortable?
Wen Wu is the first, and Wu Wu is the second. Although Zheng Xuan's way of studying Confucian classics is the best in the world, Lu Zhi has been holding back his energy in his heart and is a little unconvinced.

Therefore, Lu Zhi took out many questions from the ancient scriptures to test Sun Qian.

Of course, these questions he asked were very tricky and weird, in order to prove to Sun Qian that his ability in Confucian classics was not inferior to that of Zheng Xuan.

But it's a pity that Lu Zhi's calculations were empty this time. Sun Qian, as Zheng Xuan's disciple, does have his uniqueness.

Sun Qian could answer all the questions Lu Zhi raised.

Although there were inappropriate answers to some questions, at least Sun Qian did answer them all.

From this point alone, it can be seen that Sun Qian's attainments in Confucian classics are very good, and he is worthy of being a disciple of the God of Confucianism.

Lu Zhi didn't pass Sun Qian in the exam, and he was very sad.

He then asked Sun Gandao: "Your general sent you to see me this time, what's the matter?"

Sun Qiandao: "Next month will be Duke Lu's birthday. General Zuo can't come to Xingyang to celebrate Duke Lu's birthday in person. He has specially ordered him to bring a birthday gift. I wish Gong Gong a happy and long life."

Lu Zhi couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this.

Then I saw a gratified expression on his face.

"It's already at this time, thanks to him still thinking about it, Lu has indeed gained a filial disciple."

Afterwards, Lu Zhi looked at the gift list sent by Liu Jian.

The items on the gift list were extremely rich, but Lu Zhi only glanced at them briefly, and didn't take them seriously.

At his status and age, wealth is not very important to him.

The key is the filial piety of the disciples.Made him very happy.

"Aside from celebrating the old man's birthday, does your General Zuo have anything else to do?"

Sun Qian said solemnly: "Of course there are."

"Tell me."

Sun Qian then took out a handwritten letter from Liu Jian and handed it to Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi lowered his head and looked at it rather puzzled.

Sun Qiandao: "Mr. Lu, this is General Zuo's strategy to divide the Tai students this time...including how to operate and how to divide, all of which are clearly written on it. Please check it, Mr. Lu."

Lu Zhi was shocked when he heard this.

He lowered his head to pick up the slip and looked at it carefully.

The more he looked at it, the more shocked Lu Zhi became, and the more admired he felt in his heart.

When did this apprentice of mine grow to this extent?

This is really interlocking, completely grasping the weaknesses of these Tai students.

After reading Liu Jian's letter, Lu Zhi put the letter aside, and then looked at Sun Qian: "What is the purpose of your General Zuo writing this letter to this old man?"

Sun Qian said solemnly: "It's not for anything else, just to let Lu Gong know the heart of General Zuo after reading this letter."

Lu Zhi stroked his beard: "Deran, what's his intention?"

Sun Qian said solemnly: "Kuang helps the hearts of the world."

Hearing this, Lu Zhi couldn't help but fell silent.

Lu Zhi remained silent, but he heard Sun Qian solemnly say: "General Zuo's method of dividing the Tai students, in terms of reason, is somewhat shady, but in terms of the country, it is indeed upright, and the general's words are deeds. sitting upright."

"Nowadays the world is in turmoil. All the shepherds are conspiring against the country. Conspiracies and tricks are emerging one after another. General Zuo supports the government. Even if he wants to support the country with upright laws, there are many evil thieves in the world. It seems that there must be something behind the Taisheng incident. There are young people secretly instigating tricks, and at such an extraordinary time, General Zuo used rumors and divisions as a last resort."

"General Zuo said that his heart can show the sun and the moon. Today, even if Sun Qian told Lu Gong everything, the general is also upright, and he is not afraid that this matter will fall into Lu Gong's hands."

Sun Gan is among Zheng Xuan's disciples, the most eloquent and the best at negotiating with others. When he speaks, he is powerful and righteous, giving people a feeling of convincing.

After listening to Sun Qian's words, Lu Zhi was silent for a long time, and then suddenly smiled and said, "I am an apprentice of the old man, but I know in my heart that Liu Deran is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and he is dedicated to the country. This old man has always believed in it."

Sun Qian bowed to Chief Lu Zhi and said, "Then, please, Mr. Lu, continue to trust General Zuo. No matter how much power General Zuo will develop in the future, and no matter how many elite soldiers General Zuo has under his command, what General Zuo does , are all dedicated to the country, and will never intentionally persecute the court and divide the world because of selfish interests, and will never put the people in danger because of selfish interests!"

Lu Zhi couldn't help being a little excited at the moment.

He stared at Sun Qian closely, and then said word by word: "Actually, I have always believed in Deran, but I was just afraid that he would become powerful and have more means, and act for fear of emphasizing selfishness and forgetting public affairs, but today, The old man understands, my apprentice has never forgotten his original intention."

Lu Zhi felt very comforted in his heart at this moment, and he even began to faintly hope that it would be great if the emperor of the world could be made by his own disciples.
