Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 700 Sure enough, something happened
"During these days, Zhen Mi only held those salons?" On the bustling streets of Chang'an, Liu Xie, dressed in white and holding a bunch of candied haws in his hand, asked a cynical young man behind him inarticulately.

"Salon?" Yang Xiu had been following Liu Xie for a long time, but somehow he couldn't understand why Liu Xie called such an elegant tea party and reception into such a nondescript salon.However, he is an open-minded person, and he didn't care much about these details, so he replied: "During this period of time, Ms. Zhen did invite some scholars to taste wine and discuss talents. Apart from that, there is nothing else. What's more, His Majesty's Jinyiwei guards are more careful than the humble minister, so if your Majesty asks the humble minister, isn't it because you are blind?"

"How can monitoring compare to going deep into it? Do you think that I let you mix in and really let you show off your literary talent?" Liu Xie was obviously not satisfied with Yang Xiu's answer. The candied haws, I lost my appetite.

After fooling Yan Rou and the others away, Liu Xie's thoughts naturally focused on Meng Da.After playing it right, Liu Xie felt that sending Meng Da Chijie to meet Zhang Yan was indeed a very suitable candidate.

Meng Da thinks highly of himself, and Liu Xie can feel it from the conversation between the two.However, Meng Da's pride is based on his ability.He is a man of literary talent, and his quotations from the classics are not obscure, obviously he has a deep foundation.

But if that's all it is, then Meng Da can only gamble for attention at Zhen Mi's salon.But in fact, Meng Da is far more than that. Apart from these eloquent skills, he also has keen insight and convincing charm.In the confrontation with Liu Xie, Meng Da easily stated the judgment that the Han Dynasty and Yuan Shao must have a battle, and also discussed in detail and carefully the role that the Black Mountain Army can play in this battle. some.

This insight was enough for Meng Da to analyze the matter clearly when he met Zhang Yan.Moreover, his unique charm is also very suitable for this mission, because Meng Da has a variety of abilities, he can not only talk about the world with Liu Xie, but also drink and chat with thieves.For Liu Xie, he is a minister worthy of great responsibility, but for the Black Mountain thieves, Liu Xie believes that Meng Da will be the kind of person who makes the thieves feel distanced, makes the thieves feel that Meng Da is tall, but does not have to be. The kind of person who would resent and resist him.

No wonder, in history, Cao Pi admired him after he rebelled against Shu and voted for Wei.It would be a pity for this kind of guy not to fool others.

Just like sending Du Ji into Bingzhou, Liu Xie also sent several Jinyi guards to escort Meng Da.He believed that Meng Da would definitely bring back good news during his mission this time.After all, the Bingzhou victory deterred the Heishan bandits from acting rashly. At the same time, the Han Dynasty also cut off the Heishan bandits' food and fodder, which made the Heishan bandits lose their confidence.Coupled with the Battle of Bingzhou, Zhang Yan cleverly removed those forces that did not obey him, and there were not many black mountain bandits who fell in love with the Han Dynasty...

Under such unique conditions, Meng Da couldn't fool Zhang Yan.Then Liu Xie should wonder whether this Meng Da is the same Meng Da in history.

As a result, Liu Xie has basically finished dealing with the two places of Ke Bineng and the Black Mountain Bandit.The only thing left was to keep an eye on how Yuan Shao would fight back, but he also knew that Yuan Shao's future daughter-in-law was in Chang'an, so he couldn't help but want to come out and have some contact.

As for whether Zhen Mi was instigated by Yuan Shao, Liu Xie was [-]% sure.Although the superficial reasons given by Zhen Mi are plausible, under the sensitive situation of the Han Dynasty and Yuan Shao fighting openly and secretly, Zhen Mi, a sensitive person, just appeared in Chang'an-this kind of shit that reveals coincidence everywhere, Liu Xie I would rather choose to be wronged and blamed than to take it lightly.

After all, he had already expressed to Zhen Mi before: The Han family is already so powerful, one more Zhen family is not many, and one less Zhen family is quite a lot.Since you don't have the strength to give charcoal in a timely manner, it is not rare for the Han Dynasty to add icing on the cake.

Now that the attitude has been made clear, the surveillance and prevention of Zhen Mi has become a matter of course.It is obviously not okay to pretend that there is no such thing, but if you say that you would rather kill someone than let him go, it is also against the purpose of the Han Dynasty.Therefore, before the decisive battle between the Han Dynasty and Yuan Shao, it is the most sensible choice to dismantle this time bomb as soon as possible.

Yang Xiu obviously understood Liu Xie's thoughts, but he didn't take it seriously for Liu Xie's strict defense against a descendant of a wealthy businessman, and she was only a young woman: "Your Majesty, Miss Zhen is indeed talented and knowledgeable, but those who It's just a clever means of socializing with merchants. If this woman can provoke a major event that threatens the Han Dynasty, I feel that it is a bit unreasonable to worry about it."

"The dike of a thousand miles, collapsed in an ant's nest, do you really think that the Han Dynasty has become so powerful that it is fearless?" Liu Xie stopped and turned around, his tone suddenly became strict, and his face was also a little angry.

The reason for this is that Liu Xie found out that after the Bingzhou victory, many officials in the Han Dynasty became complacent.Including himself, however, Liu Xie's attitude is not the same as those of the ministers.His joy is just the joy of achieving another achievement after time travel.However, those ministers and workers of the Han Dynasty thought that the Han Dynasty had won four battles frequently, stabilized the Guanzhong area, and sent troops outside the Guanzhong from time to time.

For example, Yang Xiu at this time can turn a blind eye to Zhen Mi who has entered Chang'an.As well as those old officials in the court, who thought they were right and proposed the absurd idea of ​​sending envoys to appease the world.

Liu Xie really didn't know if those old officials were becoming more naive as they got older. The situation in the Han Dynasty is indeed good now, but it is simply wishful thinking to use the previous method of appeasement to unify the world.Now the power of the princes has become a whole of its own, and there is no other way except to subdue it with tyrannical force.

On this occasion, Yuan Shao dominates the north and is the most powerful lord in the universe; Cao Mengde wins Yan and Xu two states, like a potential dragon in Yuan; In charge of a state, keep a low profile; these forces are undoubtedly the greatest enemies of the Han Dynasty. In addition, there are Han Suiweiping in Liangzhou, Zhang Luwei in Hanzhong, and the Liu clan in Jing and Yi. The Han Dynasty's yang and yin contradicted, and secretly passed the tunes, which was a precursor to the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms during the reign of Emperor Jing.

Especially now that the battle with Yuan Shao is a foregone conclusion, all the courtiers are so complacent, what's the deal?
At this time, Liu Xie must firmly hold his confidants in his hands, so that there will be no loopholes and flaws in his internal power.Therefore, this time, he rarely showed the aura of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and reprimanded Yang Xiu: "Dezu, you are also my confidant, and you have a smart mind. You may not be confused about the general trend of the world. But if you have been so lazy and complacent since then, how can you live up to the reputation of the fourth generation of the Yang family?"

Yang Xiu couldn't stand the crowded street, and immediately fell to the ground, trembling all over.He is indeed smart, and it is because of his smartness that he understands his mistakes these days.

Seeing that Yang Xiu knew his mistake, Liu Xie also felt a little relieved, and couldn't help but want Yang Xiu to get up.But suddenly he felt a little strange, looked around, and immediately saw many people looking at him with strange eyes.

In the initial reaction, Liu Xie thought it was Yang Xiu's apology on the street that made people curious.But then he discovered that things were not like that. The eyes of these people were not focused on Yang Xiu at all, but all on him.Looking carefully, the eyes of those people are full of doubts, fear, but more, it is an unspeakable excitement, as if they have learned some big secrets, but they dare not speak out, so they can only wait on the sidelines When the truth comes out, then act like an afterthought.

This feeling made Liu Xie suddenly feel very uneasy.Because from the fact that none of the common people dared to look at him, he already knew that he must be entangled in some conspiracy.Thinking back carefully along the way, it seems that there are already signs of this in the middle of the journey.

So, Liu Xie looked up at the cloth house in front of him again, and suddenly realized something, and asked Yang Xiu again: "You said that Zhen Mi has nothing to do except hold some tea parties and receptions these days. Didn't you do it?"

"That's right." Yang Xiu also noticed the strangeness around him, he hesitated for a moment after he got up, but he still said with certainty: "I have checked many times according to the orders, and I did not find anything abnormal."

"There is no need for any abnormalities, such things as tea parties and wine parties are the most prone to gossip." Liu Xie said leisurely, with a murderous look on his brows: "And the rumors will become rumors if they spread to the outside world... Huh! That bastard, Yuan Shao, actually got an ax on my head, doesn't he know that the Han Dynasty is the ancestor who spread rumors?!"
