Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 194 The Wronged Jin Shang

In the past two days, Liu Xie has been working hard, running around.The servant Zhao Qi was also exhausted, running south and north.But the mood of the two is completely the same.

Although Liu Xie was as tired as a dog every day, he was only physically tired, but he was greatly satisfied mentally.The first-hand information obtained from the eastern and western cities of Chang'an was used to spat with Zhong Yao of Shangshutai and his confidantes, and they compared the details of the business reform with every penny, and the benefits to business were simply hype.Of course, he has full confidence in the future of Chang'an and the Guanzhong area.

However, Mr. Zhao Qi was in the court that day. After Wang Yun became the No. 1 who faced the emperor directly, he only enjoyed such a short period of time.In the days that followed, he had tasted all kinds of things in the world.It directly broke the lips, broke the legs, and finally made not only the body tired, but also the heart tired.

"Lord Zhao, this landlord's family doesn't have any food left. Looking at the turmoil in today's world, we are the big families who are the first to be unlucky. Whoever comes here will borrow food from you. Do you dare not borrow it? Although the imperial court is empty, But these gardens, birds and beasts in the world are not royal, if you make the court tighten up, won't you have everything?"

"My lord Zhao... don't be so shabby for me. The imperial treasury is empty and needs generous donations from a family like us? You must stop saying that. Aren't you slapping our emperor in the face? We are a big man in heaven. , everything, is what the barbarians admire and envy, you are disrespectful to the Han Dynasty by defaming the reputation of the imperial court like this!"

"What? The imperial court is in trouble, do you need me to lend a hand? Lord Zhao, look at what you said, the Han Dynasty has been taking care of us and the family for a hundred years, and I have been waiting for a long time, how can I have no desire to repay you? Well, this is a hundred years. Mr. Zhao took all the stones and grasses to solve the urgent needs of the court? What, hay is eaten by horses, and they want food, gold and silver? Oh, where do I have those dirty and noble things? Are you trying to slander me? The reputation of..."

"Lord Zhao, come, come, don't talk about state affairs, let's talk about classics and classics, such important things that have been inherited from ancient times..."

"..."

During this period of time, Mr. Zhao was like a sent beggar, running back and forth in the homes of his disciples and old officials in various places in Guanzhong.Regarding his visit, every household greeted him with honored guests at the beginning, but once Zhao Qi mentioned his intention of coming, those noble family heads who usually respected him all changed their faces and started laughing. .Zhao Qi is the kind of upright person again, how can he be the opponent of these smooth and sophisticated people, and he fails again and again.

"It's all a group of white-eyed wolves, white-eyed wolves!"

This is Master Zhao Qi's vicious evaluation of those disciples and old officials after traveling all over the Guanzhong.At that moment, Mr. Zhao, who spat hard on the ground twice, was so embarrassed that he had already forgotten that he was a disciple of a saint, and he shouldn't have done such a vulgar behavior.

But even so, when Mr. Zhao Qi went from the attitude of benevolence at the beginning, to the attitude of a creditor pressing the door in the end, after his footprints spread all over the Guanzhong land, he still failed to raise much gold and silver.In the end, he was forced to have no other choice, so he had no choice but to report the property of his family to the scope of his financing, so as not to embarrass him, a long-time court minister.

But even so, the materials he raised were nothing compared to the vows he made in the court with righteous words.Seeing that the day of the court meeting was getting closer, Mr. Zhao Qi felt as if he was counting the hours and going to hell, and his hair started to fall out of worry.Even, I have already started to sleep at night, and even eating is tasteless.

It's a pity that time never slows down because of one person's suffering.After the last court meeting, this time the court meeting was still held unshakably.

Lord Zhao Qi knelt on the ground like the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, paying homage to the current actual helm of the Han Dynasty.However, unlike those ministers, Mr. Zhao Qi looked dejected, and he unnaturally picked the cracks in the bricks of the hall with his fingers, so as to relieve the shame in his heart.

In his opinion, although this young emperor is somewhat different from ordinary people.But mentally, he is still a young child, and he is a monarch who will repay every grievance.This is true for Dong Zhuo, and it is also true for Wang Yun, the hero of the Han Dynasty, who is mean and ungrateful.

This kind of worry has become a heavy stone on Zhao Qi's heart. He really can't imagine how this young emperor will punish and humiliate him for his previous offense.

Fortunately, the emperor sitting high on the dragon chair seemed to have forgotten the previous incident today, and he didn't even glance in his direction.After the usual ceremony, he tilted his head and gestured to Yang Xiu who was at the side, and that boy Yang Xiu stepped forward and yelled at the top of his voice: "If there is something to do, come back to court if there is nothing to do."

After saying this sentence, Mr. Yang Biao's face was very ugly.In the Han Dynasty, there was no TV court drama like this.The court meeting was originally a ceremony for the king and his ministers to discuss major affairs in the world. In essence, those who could sit in the hall were those who worked for the country.

But Yang Xiu's shout, even though he was speaking the truth, subtly leveled the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.The hidden meaning of these words is that the ministers should ask the emperor for instructions and report. In this way, the status and prestige of the emperor will immediately increase.

Therefore, after the sound, everyone in the hall looked at Zhao Qi one after another.Before Zhao Qi confronted Liu Xie directly, the ministers regarded him as the second person after Wang Yun. They all expected Master Zhao Qi to jump out and scold Yang Xiu for disrupting the court meeting.Unexpectedly, Master Zhao Qi moved his lips, and then the old god closed his eyes on the ground, as if he hadn't heard this sentence at all.

Such a move immediately silenced some ministers who were about to fight in groups.Everyone feels again that this is starting to shift more and more in a direction they don't want.

However, how can there be nothing wrong with a big man ruling thousands of miles?
After everyone tacitly let go of Yang Xiu, Lord Jin Shang stood up, held his fangs and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say. It is known in the article that the imperial court wants to order this minister to be the shepherd of Yanzhou. For this reason, this minister has packed up his luggage, but yesterday when this minister was about to set off, Lord Shangshu Zhong informed the minister that His Majesty has personally ordered Cao Cao, the captain of Dianjun For Yanzhou Shepherd?"

"It's true." Liu Xie nodded. He was worried that he didn't know what to do, and he took out Cao Cao's upper form.This Lord Jin Shang was lucky enough to let Liu Xie do it in one step.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not a good policy to change the order from day to night. What's more, the imperial court canonize the shepherd of a state, which is even more related to the safety and security of a state. I dare to ask your majesty, why did you abandon the old one and take the post of Cao Cao? Could it be that your majesty thinks that my minister is not worthy of morality? For Yanzhou Shepherd?"

Liu Xie felt a little suffocated when he heard this. Historically, Jin Shang was ordered to go to Yanzhou to take office, but Cao Cao sent troops to drive him back halfway.He who had no face to return to Chang'an was homeless and extremely pitiful.

As a last resort, Jin Shang later took refuge in Yuan Shu, the later general, as his staff, but that guy Yuan Shu pretended to be the emperor, hoping to use Jin Shang's name to increase his bargaining chips.But Jin Shang refused to obey, and Yuan Shu sent people to ridicule him for a long time.

Jin Shang was eating Yuan Shu's food again, and he was really aggrieved by the plywood.Finally, after Liu Xie was welcomed into Xu County by Cao Cao, Jin Shang wanted to escape to Xu County again, but was killed by Yuan Shu.

Liu Xie's refusal to let him go to Yanzhou to take office actually saved Jin Shang's life.This great Confucian who was so stupid after reading sages' books naively thought that the imperial edicts could be applied to all big men, and that the treacherous hero Cao Cao was a harmless little cat.

However, no matter how you say it, Jin Shang is still a loyal minister loyal to the Han Dynasty.On this point, Liu Xie will not specifically suppress others.He suppressed the fire in his heart, followed the routine he had set up before going to court, and showed a warm smile: "Why did Mr. Jin say that? Mr. Jin has always been wise, so I don't know. Originally, I also wanted to let you Mr. Jin took up the position of the pastor of Yanzhou, and he served as the shepherd of the Han Dynasty, but after thinking about it, I couldn't bear to leave Mrs. Jin."

Liu Xie's flattering and bragging words immediately made Jin Shang's rigid expression loose, and he couldn't help but said: "I can only write and write, and I have done nothing for the Han Dynasty. Thanks to Your Majesty En Chong, I wonder if Your Majesty has anything else for this humble minister to do for you?"

"Since the disaster of Dong Zhuo, the Imperial Academy in Gyeonggi has been silent and lifeless since then, and the imperial court has also cut off talents that can be cultivated. Such a long-term plan, since the great Confucianist with a high reputation will re-emerge on the forum and cultivate a group of people who can use it for the country. After thinking about it, since Cai Bochi has no news from the court, only Mr. Jin can be in charge, so..."

Having said that, Liu Xie deliberately paused.Naturally, this was to whet Jin Shang's appetite. Another reason was that he remembered another thing: Cai Yong, that old guy, should be brought back from the dead to teach.Wang Yun has lost power now, the old man has eaten a lot of food in the prison!
