Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 661
"Well, this battle report is interesting. It seems that my confidant general finally understands a lot of political key points." Liu Xie had a faint smile on his lips, and was very pleased that Ma Chao had such a high awareness.

Although he didn't know what kind of contradictory and painful feelings would be in Ma Chao's chest when he watched his father-killing enemy and left just like that.But from the perspective of the interests of the entire Han Dynasty, Ma Chao did not easily go to war with Han Sui, but it was a move that took the overall situation into consideration.

Judging from this move alone, Ma Chao is no longer the Ma Chao in history.Although Liu Xie's time travel did not change the pain of Ma Chao's loss of his father, it is certain that Ma Chao will not suffer the misfortune of bereavement again, let alone die prematurely at the age of 47 due to depression as in history.

"Your Majesty has discerning talents. General Ma is heroic and brave, and he is definitely not a short-sighted person. In addition, he has been around His Majesty for a long time, and he has already learned the key points of the overall situation. The performance of General Ma this time is due to His Majesty's teachings." Gong." Xun You patted Liu Xie's flattery at the right time, and he knew that this emperor liked this trick the most.

After hearing Xun You's praise, Liu Xie's brows and eyes really frowned, and the little unhappiness in his heart disappeared, and he waved his hand and said: "Gongda is too famous, I just chatted with Meng Qi in my spare time, he Today's enlightenment is all because of his own wisdom root."

Liu Xie's humility is to tell these people that they have not yet reached their limit.You can still praise desperately, anyway, I have a thick skin, and I can hold no matter how many compliments I get.Zhong Yao, Lu Su and other confidant advisers all knew Liu Xie's virtues, and if they were interested, they would praise Liu Xie again, or just smiled lightly.

As for Fazheng, Meng Da, and Chen Qun, they are still just low-level officials who belong to Cao Li.Even if Meng Da is arrogant, Fazheng will retaliate, and Chen Qun is rigid and polite, even if they can't see it, they will only slander in their hearts, and they will definitely not touch Liu Xie's bad luck when they first arrive.No matter what, I will wait for some merits in my hands to find out Liu Xie's temperament before admonishing him.

Seeing that this matter was about to pass like this, unexpectedly, a person outside the door rushed in angrily, and before he could salute Liu Xie, he reprimanded plausibly: "The world is raging, and it is time for the monarch and ministers to work together to restore the Han Dynasty. Minister I once heard that His Majesty and the Shangshutai were strategizing and planning to rule the world, and I admired it very much. But I don’t want to see it today, the Han Dynasty is still in trouble, and the monarchs and ministers are boasting and complacent. If the people of the world know it, they should How heartbroken!"

Liu Xie has been the emperor for nearly four years after crossing, and it is said that he is now the most prosperous.After all, Yuan Shu, the son of the fourth generation and the third prince, and the leader of the southern line of heroes who once challenged the Dong League, usurped and proclaimed himself emperor, but he was disintegrated in Liu Xie's long-accumulated conquest, which greatly boosted the confidence of the people in the world in the unification of the Han Dynasty.Under such light, Liu Xie already dared to quarrel with those old ministers in the court, and he seemed to have a tendency to fight against courtesy.

Liu Xie asked himself, after he did these things, he never felt complacent or unwilling to make progress.Although Lu Lingqi was accepted as a beauty, it was a matter of course before.This time he just joked a few words with his close ministers, and he got such a reproach. This was something he hadn't encountered in more than half a year. Naturally, he frowned and looked at the door.

But when he saw that person, Liu Xie's face immediately became extremely dark, with a kind of helpless disgust.Because of that person, he really couldn't afford to provoke him.It's not because of that person's status, but because that person's reputation is comparable to his, and even, from a certain aspect, that person's reputation is even higher than his.

That man's name is Kong Rong.At present, in the Han Dynasty, the official worships the Taizhong doctor, and his rank is higher than that of a thousand stones.

As soon as Kong Rong's official position was mentioned, Liu Xie wanted to slap himself first.Because the duty of this Taizhong doctor is to take charge of discussions, correspondingly, Kong Rong also has the power to reprimand Liu Xie and Shang Shutai's officials.

The reason why Liu Huihui made such a mistake is because he is a time traveler.When Kong Rong was Prime Minister of Beihai, he had almost no relationship with Liu Xie. Later, Cao Cao hijacked the emperor and entered Xu County.

Liu Xie knew that at first Cao Cao gave Kong Rong the official title of General Craftsman.This official position is one of the ministers, and he is in charge of building ancestral temples, palaces, and cemeteries.It is easy to make political achievements, and it is generally used as a transition for promotion.It can be seen that Cao Cao still had great hopes for Kong Rong before.But soon, this Kong Rong was transferred to be the young man in charge of the small royal treasury.

The responsibility of the Shaofu does not seem low.But don't forget that Cao Cao had already held Emperor Xian of the Han hostage at that time, and it was Cao Cao who provided the royal expenses.This arrangement was obviously because Cao Cao was annoyed by Kong Rong, hoping that Kong Rong would be short-handed, soft-mouthed, and have a little vision in the future.

But then, Kong Rong's position was relegated to Taizhong doctor. This position is almost an insult to the descendants of Kong Shengren.Because Cao Cao made it clear that Kong Rong would break the jar, so he just ate and waited to die in the court.

In this time and space, after Cao Cao and Liu Bei handed over Xuzhou, the first thing Cao Cao did was to recommend Kong Rong, who had defected to Xuzhou, to Liu Xie.Liu Xie had an ominous premonition at that time. After all, because of Lu Zhi's incident earlier, he had confronted Kong Rong in the air.Later, Kong Rong wantonly promoted Liu Bei and did not give the Han family face at all, which also displeased Liu Xie very much.

As a result, the position of General Craftsman was removed directly, and the Shaofu was the official position after Lu Su, so naturally he could not give it to Kong Rong.Liu Xie was thick-skinned enough, so he simply let Kong Rong become his doctor in the imperial court, and didn't even think about meeting Kong Rong face to face.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xie didn't care about Kong Rong.Today, Kong Rong specifically found Shangshutai, and he got a position as an imperial doctor by accident, so he was naturally dissatisfied with Liu Xie-this is not because Kong Rong is greedy for power, but because he has a Assiduously seeking to revive the descendants of Zhou Li ancestors, such an official position is undoubtedly an insult to Kong Rong.

Even if Kong Rong didn't think that Liu Xie had insulted the sages and Confucianism, he felt that the world would misunderstand it.

Kong Rumen's words immediately offended everyone in the Shangshutai.Before Liu Xie opened his mouth, Chen Gong, who was always smiling calmly on one side, suddenly became disgusted, stood up and replied: "Doctor Kong restrained himself and returned to courtesy, but in the battle of Beihai, he was killed by Yuan Ni's son and returned. The lives of the people are devastated. At this moment, there is a sudden change, and they don't abide by the etiquette of courtiers and speak out to reprimand and wipe out the emperor who presumptuously proclaims himself emperor. You really dare to speak up!"

It's no wonder that Chen Gong has such hatred for Kong Rong. Before the two actually met, they had exchanged letters and were regarded as close friends.But ever since Chen Gong set fire to Tai'an City, Kong Rong immediately regarded Chen Gong as a vicious person who brought disaster to the country, and scolded Chen Gong bloodily.

It would be fine if the two broke up like this, but after Kong Rong was defeated by Yuan Tan, he ran to Taishan County.After Chen Gong and Zang Ba defeated Yuan Tan, Liu Bei betrayed Yuan Shao, and Kong Rong brazenly acted as the speaker, and abruptly released Yuan Tan's thousands of remnants and defeated generals.After this incident, Chen Gong deeply felt that Kong Rong was a rotten Confucian who talked loudly and was unbearable to conspire with.

However, facing Chen Gong's ridicule, Kong Rong raised his arms and shouted again: "Yuan Shao from Hebei is the leader of the northern heroes. If you don't know the art of war and use weapons randomly, wouldn't it ruin Uncle Liu's plan? If it wasn't for the old man to mediate , How could there be the act of Uncle Liu Huang driving straight in and threatening Shouchun? It is true that the old man is not good at the art of war, but he is specialized in art, and the old man's defeat is not a crime of war. On the contrary, it is you who set fire to the city and are insane. Talk nonsense here, don't back down quickly!"

Hearing the eloquence of such celebrities as Kong Rong, Liu Xie suddenly sighed in his heart.Because at this time, he already knew why Cao Cao couldn't help but want to kill Kong Rong later.

For a person like Kong Rong, his background destined him not to be a good courtier.The monarch he serves is the deep-rooted Confucianism in his heart, the people of the whole world, and will never be a specific Han court.When powerful ministers like Cao Cao hold the emperor hostage, he will follow the orthodoxy, but when Liu Xie can exercise his power independently, Kong Rong will become a defender of Taoism, and he will inevitably become the supervisor of the Han Dynasty. His own ideas of Confucianism and benevolence were firmly kidnapped in the Han Dynasty.

From this, Liu Xie just said lightly: "Doctor Kong, even if I have done it before, what should you do with your crime of disrespect?"

Kong Rong couldn't refute this. After he entered the room, he hadn't saluted Liu Xie yet. No matter how eloquent he was, he didn't dare to show his strength in this etiquette.Immediately bowed down in the tunnel and said: "The minister was angry for a while, I hope your majesty will forgive me."

"Oh, I forgive you for your innocence." Liu Xie got up, the good mood he had just disappeared without a trace, and left Shangshutai with Leng Shouguang.

Kong Rong, who was leaning down, raised his head in doubt after waiting for a long time for a response.Looking around Shangshutai, he found that not only the emperor disappeared, but also Xun You, Zhong Yao, Lu Su, Chen Gong and others...
