Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 55
"Your Majesty," Leng Shouguang exhaled Liu Xie's true identity when there was almost no one on the cold Chang'an Street, and said doubtfully, "Do you think General Huangfu will continue to serve us? He wholeheartedly serves the people of the Han Dynasty, but now, he dares to say that the Yellow Turban Uprising failed to eradicate the imperial court!"

"Yellow Turban Rebellion..." Liu Xie shook his head with a wry smile, "It is impossible for them to overthrow the imperial court. Even if Tang and Zhou hadn't informed the imperial court, they would not have been able to let the bright yellow sky replace the heaven of the Han Dynasty."

Throughout the 5000-year history of China, Liu Xie really knows these peasant rebels very well. Those poor people are used to suffering.After all, they are the saddest class in China for 5000 years. If they are in a hurry, they will bite back desperately, but once there is a little bit of life, they will resume their submissive temper and let others drive them.

Leng Shouguang was noncommittal about this, he was not an illiterate person, he followed Yang Biao before, and heard that Yang Biao made such a judgment.Of course, Yang Biao's words were much colder than Liu Xie's. His original words were: "How could those mud-legged people succeed in rebelling? It belongs to the story of the previous dynasty. How does the uprising of Chen Sheng, Wu Guangda, and Ze Township compare to today's? Wasn't it wiped out by the Qin Dynasty in the end?" .”

What Leng Shouguang really cared about was his previous question.Liu Xie naturally knew this too, but he was really not interested in answering this question.

For people like Huangfusong, there is no question of whether or not they will be loyal, only how they are willing to be loyal.He is different from ordinary warriors and scholar-bureaucrats in the court. As early as November [-], when Huang Fusong wiped out the main force of the Yellow Turban Army of Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang, and Zhang Bao, his power shook the world, and all the heavy soldiers in the country held their hands. in hand.

At that time, a man named Yan Zhong advised him to raise his army and call people from all over the world to kill and rush to the capital, cut off the eunuchs, depose the faint emperor, replace him, and establish a new dynasty.But he flatly rejected him. The reason for the refusal was simple, that is, his talent hadn't reached that level, and God would not bless rebellion, so he expressed that he would be a loyal minister.

Yan Zhong also persuaded him with the example of Han Xingong's high-ranking master who caused a murder, but he said that if the court was jealous, it would only depose him as a commoner, and he would still have a good reputation; even if he died, he would be fine. Immortal.In the end, he did not listen to Yan Zhong's persuasion.

Judging from Huangfusong's prestige, military level, and military strength at that time, the success was almost within his grasp when he sent his troops straight to the capital. The key reason why he didn't do this was that he had never thought about such a thing.

There are two more things, one is that the imperial court enlisted Dong Zhuo to be the governor of Bingzhou, and asked Dong Zhuo to give him his soldiers, but Dong Zhuo refused.His nephew persuaded him to kill Dong Zhuo in the name of "disobeying the imperial edict", but he refused. His reason was: Dong Zhuo was naturally guilty of disobeying the imperial edict, and I was also guilty of killing the minister without the imperial order.How stupid and loyal!

The other time was when the heroes raised their troops against Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo moved the emperor westward to Chang'an, and fought against the princes in Luoyang.At this time, Huangfu Song was in Chang'an, and he had 3 elite soldiers under his command. His long history advised him to raise his troops to meet the emperor, and then he would join the princes of the Guandong to punish Dong Zhuo and build the honor of helping the country. It can be said that it was easy, but he still didn't listen. .Finally, Dong Zhuo ordered Huangfu Song to enter the court as an official in the name of the emperor.Any fool could see that this was a trap, but Huangfusong accepted it with the foolish loyalty that he would rather be killed than disobey the imperial court's order!
Yes, to put it simply, Huangfusong is the kind of person who will not regret it until he bumps his head against the south wall and bled profusely.Perhaps, in Dong Zhuo's eyes, the existence of Huangfusong is the biggest joke in the world.But for Liu Xie, such a person who is pure to the extreme is a noble person, a person who is out of vulgar interests, and a lovely and respectable person.

Therefore, he didn't need to worry about Huangfusong's loyalty at all. The only thing he worried about was Huangfusong's political sense.If Huangfusong saw the seal and ribbon of General Zuo Zhonglang and openly came to the court to return to his command, then Liu Xie would have no choice but to hang himself in the Xuanshi Palace with a thin rope.

"How's Lu Shangshu going?" Liu Xie filtered and calculated the names of people in his mind over and over again. What he needs most now is time.This year, Chang'an will usher in an earth-shaking event.And before that famous strategy for future generations is launched, Liu Xie needs to gather all possible forces around him and gather them into a self-protecting family.

"The villain has sent his confidants to let Wang Yue sneak into Master Lu's house, but Lu Shangshu has been in office for several times, and he has not made a clear statement about His Majesty's handwriting..." Leng Shouguang raised his head with some embarrassment, and looked at Liu Xie. After a calm face, he boldly continued to say: "The villain also inquired that, these days, Yuan Shao's secret envoys from Hebei have also entered and left Lu Shangshu's residence several times..."

Liu Xie sighed when he heard the words, and could only say with a wry smile: "It seems that the brains of scholars are more active..."

"Your Majesty, Lord Yang once said that Lu Shangshu is a well-known Confucian in the country, a man whom everyone looks up to. Even if Yuan Shao is delusional, Lu Shangshu will not give up his life to become a thief. Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and you must not be distracted and do the thing of breaking your own arm. .”

Listening to Leng Shouguang pleading for Lu Zhi, Liu Xie couldn't help laughing. He shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I can understand what Lu Shangshu did. After all, the Han Dynasty was really sorry for this old man. It's understandable to have a bit of a strong temper."

After reassuring Leng Shouguang, Liu Xie stopped talking.Although he was very magnanimous on the surface at this time, it is completely impossible for him to say that he does not have a trace of regret in his heart.The backward material selection system in the Han Dynasty has resulted in basically no talents who know how to fight in the court today.And if you want to do big things, the first thing you need to solve is the problem of the barrel of the gun.At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were not many three scholar-bureaucrats left in the imperial court, only three veteran generals, Huangfusong, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun.

On Huangfusong's side, Liu Xie was afraid of being detected by the secret agents around him, so he could only use a trick to get in touch through a middleman like Lao Zou; on Zhu Jun's side, since he was defeated by Li Jue and Guo Si in Hanoi, there was no news. Even if Liu Xie wanted to contact him, there was nothing he could do; in the end, the old Shangshu Lu Zhi, no matter whether he was really disheartened towards the Han Dynasty, or just wanted to show his temper, but at this critical moment, he did not show a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. The bravery and staunchness of Liu Xie really made Liu Xie's already uneasy heart even more uneasy.

Of course, the matter of Lu Zhi was just an inducement.What really makes Liu Xie feel uneasy is that he still doesn't have an excellent counselor around him, who can clear away the confusing and dangerous clouds in front of him and in the future, and point him to a bright and brilliant road.As a result, even though he is familiar with the historical development trend, he still cannot follow the trend.

Just like this, he only knew that this year Wang Yun would launch a series of tricks to get Lv Bu to kill Dong Zhuo.But the problem is that Luo Guanzhong's wonderful pen has indeed written a wonderful story, but it is not the original appearance of this world at all.Liu Xie had no idea when and how this chain plan was started, let alone what role he should play in it.

Also, after the chain meter was activated, Dong Zhuo died.But in less than two months, the Xiliang rebel army swept in like a flood. Li Jue and Guo Si, the two most vulgar and ignorant little people in the Xiliang army, completely reduced the Han Dynasty into a doomed situation. the point.Liu Xie knew that Jia Xu, the ghost fox from Xiliang, was responsible for this incident, but simply asking Wang Yue to kill Jia Xu, could this matter be eliminated?

It's ridiculous, Liu Xie didn't know how cruel this history was until he really integrated into this world.

So, Liu Xie unnaturally raised his head to look at the bright moon.He really hoped that he could fly straight from Longshou Mountain into the deep sky, fly into the tallest towers and jade buildings, and look down in all directions.He doesn't need the route of the long river of history now, what he needs is to overlook every ups and downs and every rapids of this river in a specific period of time.

He needs such eyes.

Thinking of this, Liu Xie smiled softly, turned to Leng Shouguang and said, "Xun You and Xun Gongda are still locked up in Tingwei's prison?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, what do you want?..."

"That's right, let's go to Tingwei and deliver food to a prisoner." Liu Xie smiled, he likes to see Leng Shouguang's puzzled face, which can especially show his wisdom: "Generally, It is said that if a smart person is locked up for a long time, and his mind is full of ideas and there is no place to confide, he will become very talkative..."
