Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 600
All Chinese people have a dream in their hearts, that is the ancient times.

It is said that at that time, the sky was very blue and the water was very clear.Under the leadership of Yao, Shun and others, the people lived a pastoral life.

At that time, there was no darkness, no injustice, no exploitation and oppression in the world.The world is public, and the well field system is implemented, everyone enjoys the blessings, and everyone takes care of the difficulties.People's moral standards are very high, and everyone abides by order.There are no two merchants in the city, no prison lawsuits for officials, no robbers in the town, no hungry people in the wild, no picking up lost things on the road, and men and women going the same way.Everyone is rich in money, and men and women do not walk in the same way, there are "men's way" and "women's way".

Chinese politicians place particular emphasis on order.In their eyes, the world is inherently static and orderly.The so-called Tai Chi produces Liangyi, Liangyi produces Sixiang, and Sixiang produces gossip. "Zhou Li" and other classics handed down from ancient times clarify that the mission of the Son of Heaven is to bring everything back to the original rules, self-restraint and restoration of rituals.

It is the highest dream of every statesman and the highest dream of all common people to restore this chaotic world to the orderly ancient times.

Liu Xie walked slowly, and once again came to the room where Xi Zhicai was.At this time, he had already learned the earth-shattering news that Huaiyang Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor.But in the face of this great rebellion that changed the color of the whole country, Liu Xie didn't seem to have much emotional fluctuations, as calm as if he heard that Yuan Shuxin had a concubine.

But Xi Zhicai really couldn't sit still, and he himself felt very strange at this time. If he was still under Cao Cao's tent, after hearing about this, he would definitely hide in the calm and calm like Liu Xie The pride in my chest.After all, in the eyes of those who have real insight and can influence the overall situation of the world, such news is not bad news at all, but a great opportunity.

At this time, the most powerful prince in the world was going north to fight with the Youzhou tycoon Gongsun Zan, and he had no intention of looking south because of his bruises; Liu Biao of Jingzhou had 20 soldiers, and he was an excellent candidate who could take this opportunity to make a fortune. But this person is a strange creature in troubled times, he can only ride on the wall leisurely to see the scenery of the world.

After eliminating these two forces, Yuan Shu suddenly risked the world's dissatisfaction and proclaimed himself emperor, which would bring an excellent opportunity to the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei who had already been deeply involved.Even Sun Ce, who is still fighting in Jiangdong, can catch up and get a share as long as he walks faster.

Xi Zhicai can even think of how the Han Dynasty would contact Cao Cao and Liu Bei to send troops in coordination, and the three armies would swallow up mountains and rivers like tigers; The chaotic world that had become rigid and solidified into a dead end penetrated a gap!

At such a time when history is about to be rewritten by great men and the current situation, his Xi Zhicai can only be trapped here because of the role of a captive, instead of being able to point out the country and reprimand Fang Qiu under Cao Cao's tent. What a big deal this is Pity!Especially, at this time when God gave him almost another rebirth, he was here listening to Liu Xie talking about the messy 'same dream'!
But now it seems that Liu Xie is only willing to talk to him about such innocuous and sour topics.In the end, Xi Zhicai could only sigh helplessly, and then he couldn't help but replied with a hint of irritability: "Your Majesty, everyone has old-fashioned feelings, but I still believe that people are evil in nature, greedy and lazy. Saints will educate the world, and promise a false ancient age, so that the world can feel guilty when evil thoughts are rampant, and the world can be peaceful."

"So, this is where you and Cao Mengde have the same mind." Liu Xie sat down calmly, took off his outer robe unhurriedly, poured a cup of tea, and said: "Cao Mengde's emphasis is on 'breaking and then Li', he broke all clan prejudices in Yanzhou, in order to wake up the world and boldly explore and figure out what people should do in this troubled time."

"But I can't do it here. Those literati and bureaucrats still firmly control the lifeline of the Han Dynasty. These people have been generations of powerful families, and their power is deeply rooted in the local area. The land they occupy and the population they control account for more than a quarter of the total amount of the Han Dynasty. .Many rich families have a large number of guests and have huge private armed forces. It is really unwise to offend them. No matter how many moral advantages you have, you cannot match them."

Liu Xie's words are like a breeze and drizzle, eloquently, without the ancient style of a young man preaching scriptures.But Xi Zhicai's mind is already on the Huaiyang matter, and he really doesn't have much interest in discussing these strategies for governing the country.But helplessly, Liu Xie saw Xi Zhicai's impatience, but he continued to speak in a leisurely manner.

"These are actually nothing, I just feel a little strange, why are they all scholar-bureaucrats. Radicals like you and Cao Cao want to break the ancient rules and rituals. But my scholar-bureaucrats insist on sticking to the ruthless, knowing that I took advantage of the loopholes of those ancient rituals, but they still have no regrets, and would rather be deceived by me?"

"Because your majesty is a person who never respects the past and does not respect the present. His eclectic vision and means even make you think that your majesty is not a person of this era at all. Facing today's chaotic world, your majesty seems to regard today as history , going back and forth in this chaotic world..."

Having been aroused by Liu Xie's nonsense, when Xi Zhi just said these things, he was still a little impulsive.But when he really raised his head and looked at Liu Xie, he suddenly fell into this topic, and said hesitantly: "To this day, I have never seen what direction Your Majesty wants to lead the Han Dynasty. However, I forgive you for speaking bluntly. , Your Majesty’s actions are as chaotic as Yuan Shu’s foreign strategy. Those who have achieved great things since ancient times must have firm beliefs, a heart beyond gold and iron, and consistent implementation, so that they can turn the world around and create a new world!”

"I knew all of you crazy reformers were thinking about the theory of 'revolution changes the world'." Liu Xie was not annoyed by Xi Zhicai's fair evaluation. Instead, he laughed and was happy. Said: "However, before you have only stood in the role of Cao Cao's adviser, watching the changes of the big man as an outsider. Today, the Huaiyang Incident, you have the opportunity to participate in person. So, Mr. Xi, do you want to do it again? Go out of the mountain and experience the style of the Han Dynasty?"

Xi Zhicai was startled when he heard the words, he knew that Liu Xie would not talk to him about the differences in the concept of governing the country for no reason, and he also knew that Liu Xie always did things unexpectedly.But he never thought that Liu Xie's surprise would make him so unexpected!
"Your Majesty, are you serious?" Xi Zhicai swallowed hard, feeling that his voice was a little dry: "Aren't you afraid that you will get out of trouble and never return? Or maybe you have gained insight into His Majesty's strategy and come back Go to Cao Mengde's tent and tell the whole story, so that Cao Mengde can take precautions in advance?"

"I treat each other with the sincerity of the world, and I am omnipotent. As a son of heaven, you must have a heart to tolerate the mountains, rivers, sun and moon. If you can't even do this, how can I speak so boldly about Zhongxing Han Dynasty?" Liu Xie shook his arms. , made a gesture of a great man embracing the world.Under the sunshine at the end of spring, he is tall and tall, with a majestic appearance, which is indeed dazzling.

However, in less than a breath, Liu Xie shivered, put on his robe, and complained: "It seems that the way of wearing a fork is still not suitable for me."

After saying this, Liu Xie didn't realize it at all, and he simply said to Xi Zhicai: "Let me tell you the truth, in the matter of beating Yuan Shu, one more you is not too much, and one less you is not too much. But but again How to put it, you are also a man of the age, so it would be too wasteful for you to be trapped in this room."

"This time, it was originally a joint crime of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei... The method is not right, it is cooperation anyway. As long as you can cleanly beat Yuan Shu down, you will run away afterwards, then I have used you during this time It's a good idea to be resourceful."

Xi Zhicai frowned even more. The thing he had dreamed of had come before him, but it made him feel absurd and uninhibited: "Your Majesty is contradicting himself. If the matter of Huaiyang is not bad, why do you have to take action? If Your Majesty needs help from His Majesty this time." If you don’t have a strategy, then why do you indulge in your escape? If your Majesty doesn’t explain this matter clearly, I really dare not make promises lightly.”

"It's good if you can't figure it out. You smart people, because you think too much, you will draw the ground into a prison. I will waste food when I imprison you, and it will be difficult for you to submit to the Han Dynasty; if you kill you, it will be against the Han and Cao. The alliance between my family is disadvantageous; I feel wronged for letting you go for no reason. So I just take advantage of it and let you contribute to the Huaiyang matter. Calculated in this way, I will not suffer too much."

"Do you think that I came to chat with you when I was full these days, so that you can have a sensory understanding of the Han Dynasty? Let you participate in it yourself, maybe you will be deeply affected by it." Some, just changed their minds and returned to the Han Dynasty." After that, Liu Xie waved his hand regardless of the dumbfounded Xi Zhicai behind him: "Go or not, I will give you a chance anyway, you can figure it out !"
