When taking stock of Ming Taizong at the beginning, Lao Zhu was stunned!

Chapter 150 The word orthodoxy is too important.

Tang Dynasty, Zhenguan period.

Li Shimin was extremely sensitive to the word locust plague in this period of history. He, the Tang Dynasty, also encountered a locust plague. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty encountered more than just a locust plague.

Plagues, floods, and severe droughts occurred one after another in various parts of the Central Plains. The entire Central Plains was empty, and places that were usually bustling with people were no longer inhabited.

At that time, people were in panic, not to mention the common people, even the imperial officials were frightened by the letters one after another.

Eastern Han Dynasty, Jianwu 17 years.

Through the fragments shown in the miracle, Liu Xiu has roughly judged that the scale of this locust plague is probably not small. In addition, according to the introduction before the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a severe drought during the Ling Emperor's period, and the court's current food supply must be insufficient. There are many, and now coupled with the locust plague, it may be difficult to provide disaster relief.

Coupled with the demands of wars in various places, one can imagine how difficult the lives of ordinary people are.

Liu Xiu was not an emperor who was not close to the people, but it was precisely because of his understanding of the bottom that he was a little confused.

Could it be that his Liu family was really abandoned by God?

If not, why would natural disasters occur one after another, bringing the already precarious man to the end?

[Facts have proved that there is indeed no need for Cao Cao to defect to Yuan Shao. 】

[The next year, Cao Cao regrouped and reorganized his army to fight Lu Bu again. He defeated him many times, defeated Dingtao (now Dingtao, Shandong), Linqiu (now northwest of Yuncheng, Shandong), etc., and pacified Yanzhou, while Lu Bu fled. He went to Xuzhou and joined Liu Bei, who took over Tao Qian's post after Tao Qian died of illness. 】

[In July, in the blink of an eye, an excellent opportunity appeared.Liu Xie returned from Chang'an. Due to the fierce battle between Li Jue and Guo Si in Guanzhong, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to ask all princes to serve the king, and Cao Cao also seized this opportunity. 】

[In October, Cao Cao was worshiped by Liu Xie as the shepherd of Yanzhou. 】

[In February of the first year of Jian'an, Cao Cao defeated He Yi, Liu Pi and other troops of the Yellow Turban Army in Runan and Yingchuan areas. Emperor Xian made Cao Cao General of Jiande. 】

[In June, after the persuasion of Cao Cao's adviser Dong Zhao, the generals Yang Feng and others around Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty asked Cao Cao to be the general of Zhendong, succeeding his father Fei Tinghou's title. 】

[Cao Cao’s attitude towards the Emperor of Han Dynasty. 】

[[-]: As a minister of the Han Dynasty, you must welcome Liu Chan, and in the end, you must "serve the emperor's orders and refuse to serve as a minister". 】

[Two: Although he expressed a welcoming attitude, he never truly accepted him and kept an appropriate distance. 】

[Three: Just go back east, as long as it doesn't affect me.Let him do what? 】

Song Dynasty, the first year of Kaibao.

Zhao Kuangyin showed admiration. No matter from which angle you look at it, this step taken by Cao Cao is extremely important.

At that time, welcoming the emperor was the best move. With the emperor, Cao Cao gained a foothold in public opinion. He was no longer a rebellious minister, but a legitimate one.

People who are deeply trusted by the emperor are fundamentally different from other forces.

Although it seems that the power is still the same as before, there is no difference, but in fact there is a fundamental gap with everyone.

Zhao Guangmei also sighed: "The word orthodoxy is really too important."

You must know that in the future, the Song Dynasty will continue to work hard to compete with those barbarians for the integrity of the Central Plains.Zhao Dezhao also sighed: "After Wei Wu, the world can add another example - Wei Taizu entrusted the emperor to Xudu, and Zhou County was stable."

However, at that time, Yuan Shu actually had greater opportunities and sufficient ability to introduce Emperor Xian of Han into his territory, but he never took action due to resistance and ambition. Even though his subordinates repeatedly suggested it, he ultimately missed the great opportunity.
-
The early years of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang was a little surprised. Isn't Lu Bu the subordinate of Dong Zhuo?

You must know that Dong Zhuo has been dead for who knows how long, but this Lu Bu suddenly changed and was accepted by the people in Cao Cao's base camp.

Even if he was quickly driven away by Cao Cao, it was enough to prove that this person was really extraordinary.

And Shen Ji didn't mention much about who caused Dong Zhuo's death. Could it be that it had something to do with Lu Bu?
Liu Bang's mind was wide open and he indulged in speculations. He had worked hard from the bottom to reach his current status. Coupled with the appearance of miracles, various experiences in this world told him that the world is huge and full of wonders. Only Nothing you can't imagine will happen.

Looking at the options again, there is almost no need to think too much, it must be one.

As long as Cao Cao remains rational and can objectively analyze the overall situation, then he will understand how important it is to gain the orthodox status and the reputation of standing on the moral high ground after flattering the emperor, and it will be beneficial and harmless.

And Liu Bang himself experienced the great benefits of this. Back then, he used the name of mourning, revenge, and disobedience for Emperor Chu Yi to stand on the commanding heights of morality in the world and impose sanctions on Xiang Yu. .

Then all the heroes in the world responded, which gave him the status he has today.

Han Dynasty, the first year before Emperor Wen.

Naturally, Liu Heng didn't think too much about his options this time. His orthodox status was extremely important and needed no further explanation.

Otherwise, he would not have been cautious in the early days of his ascension to the throne. Otherwise, once those powerful ministers took advantage of him, and when he was not strong enough, they would most likely deprive him of his legitimate status as emperor.

Although the situation of the great man in the miracle is even worse than precarious, in the final analysis, there is still a name that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and no one in the world has enough power and fame to stand up and establish himself as the emperor. Or respect from everyone else.

Therefore, the title of Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie is still very useful for the time being.

The ancients said that teachers are famous, and Cao Cao's move successfully put him on the famous team. Anyway, the emperor has no real power, and it will not affect his rights. Instead, he can take advantage of the emperor's orthodox status to welcome the emperor. The Han Dynasty has been doing this for many years. prestige.

Whether it is for overseas expeditions, training manpower, recruiting talents, or communicating with other forces, it is of great help.

You must know that before this, whether it was Cao Cao or Lu Bu, their titles of Yanzhou Mu were essentially self-reliant and had not been officially canonized by the imperial court.

As long as the Han Dynasty did not completely lose their prestige, their positions would always be unjustified.

Fame, orthodoxy, justice, these seemingly ethereal, intangible, and invisible things are often extremely important and can play an extremely important role.

Qin Dynasty.

Although Ying Zheng was a little surprised by this trend, it was also reasonable.

Dong Zhuo has offended the world and will die sooner or later, but Liu Xie can still run back to Luoyang in troubled times, which proves that the reputation of the great man still has some effect.

As for Cao Cao's choice, there is no need to worry too much.No force would refuse such an opportunity to completely reverse their reputation.

The Han Dynasty at that time will probably be similar to the Emperor Zhou later.
