Chapter 10 Calculations by the Parties
"Young mouth child, you're too bullying!" Li Jue, who returned to his mansion, smashed everything he could to pieces, and the anger that had been suppressing in his chest was vented without reservation at this moment.
"This time, you are a little too much. He is the emperor after all." Guo Si did not say much, and he said calmly until Li Jue gradually calmed down.
"I'm too much?" Li Jue widened his eyes and said angrily: "Wai Zhong has clearly forgotten your and my explanation every day. He turned to that child. What's the use of such a treacherous person? Is it possible that I will give him a salute in the future?"
"So what if he turns aside? He is just a eunuch. Could it be that you think a eunuch can do something big for the little emperor?" Guo Si raised his eyelids and said calmly.
After all, Wei Zhong is just a little eunuch. Not to mention one, even if the eunuchs in the palace are subdued by Liu Xie, would it be possible to expect these eunuchs to fight the world for Liu Xie?
Li Jue snorted coldly and said, "I originally wanted to kill this little eunuch, which was also considered a warning to the monkey, but who would have thought that the little baby who knew how to tolerate on weekdays would be so tough today!" When he thought of Liu Xie's expression that put life and death aside, Li Jue felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly. In this era, many people only took this trick. Needless to say, he was so embarrassed that he had lost his face, but instead increased the aura of the little emperor.
Although Li Jue has no strategy, he has been in command of the army for so many years and has no bad experience at all.
"This is also what I'm worried about." Guo Si nodded, narrowing his eyes slightly and said, "Our little emperor does not seem to be as cowardly as it seems. If you hadn't forced him to come forward this time, we might be deceived by the appearance of this little emperor, so we should be more alert to him in the future."
Li Jue sneered when he heard this, "What are you afraid of? These Jingzhao soldiers and horses are all in your hands. Don't say that he is just a ten-year-old kid. Even if the emperor is alive, what can he do to us at this moment?"
"It's better to be careful. Now there are countless people in the world who want to replace us. This little emperor knows tolerate and what he sees today, there are some methods. Don't fall into the gutter." Guo Si shook his head. He is cautious by nature. Although he doesn't have much wisdom, he can always prevent problems and make up for them. Cooperate with Li Jue and always check for shortcomings. This is also the reason why the two of them have today's situation.
"It's up to you." Li Jue waved his hand impatiently. Now when he mentioned Liu Xie, he couldn't help but get angry and turned the topic: "What do you think the little emperor wants Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to be the prefect?"
"It may not be a good thing. After all, the land in Guanzhong is our territory now, and no one will manage it. If this continues, it will definitely be abandoned. Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song all have the ability to govern the territory of a county. It is also a solution. However, these two people are famous generals in the world. We must guard against it. Military power must be held in our hands. Don't let these two people gain military power." Guo Si nodded helplessly. If there were a better choice, they would naturally not choose these two people. But the problem now is that they have no more choices at all. There are also many capable people in Chang'an City, such as Yang Biao, Ding Chong, and Zhong Yao. But if they wanted to use it for their own purposes, they would really think too much. Even Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, if it were not for Liu Xie's words, they would not be able to instruct them.
Although Liu Xie is not powerful orthodox now, he represents the orthodox of the royal family. For old ministers like Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, only the emperor Liu Xie can instruct.
"It should be no problem with Fan Chou here, but Fan Chou is only one person after all. One of them goes north and the other goes to An Ding. Fan Chou is probably not enough." Li Jue frowned.
Fan Chou is an honest man, and they are both from the Xiliang Army. He naturally feels relieved after years of friendship, but others are not very relieved.
"Don't forget that there is a military general under Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, who has good martial arts skills and is also the one who followed the Grand Tutor back then." Guo Si smiled.
"I remember that this person has a nephew who was regarded as his own, but he held his nephew in Chang'an as a charity, so he would not be afraid that he would not be able to do his best." Li Jue stroked his palm.
Guo Si raised his eyebrows, feeling that this method was a bit inappropriate. After all, Zhang Ji was his own person. Although he was not as good as them, he was also an old brother for many years. It would be a bit disappointing to do so, but it was also a way. After all, people's hearts were separated from each other. After Dong Zhuo's death, many people in the Xiliang army had strange intentions. After all, they were not prestige enough. If it were Dong Zhuo, there would be no worries about this.
"I'll tell him about this matter." In the end, Guo Si nodded and agreed to Li Jue's approach. However, Li Jue could not be told about this matter. This guy was too rude and could easily offend people. They were a little guilty about this matter. If Li Jue was asked to go and do things well, it might be a pity for people to hate him.
On the other hand, at Yang Biao's mansion, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Zhong Yao, and Ding Chong, several important officials of the Eastern Han Dynasty court gathered together at this moment. The matter in front of Chengming Palace made Huangfu Song feel a little uncomfortable. After all, he was a famous general and an old minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Now Liu Xie is using people, so he needs them to fight against Li Jue. Why do he even push people out? What's more, who is he? How could he be the prefect of a county, and it's still stable. If Yang Biao hadn't secretly stopped him, it would have happened at that time.
"Duke Wenxian, you were in Chengming Palace before, why did you stop me? Your Majesty was young and had a ridiculous idea. Li Jue and Guo Si were eager to drive me and Gong Wei out of the court, but now it was just right that they wanted to!" Huangfu Song said a little frustrated.
"Yi Zhen, don't be excited. Our Majesty is not as simple as you think." Yang Biao gently stroked his beard under his body, looked at Huangfu Song, and smiled. If he was in the court that day, he was just suspicious, he could basically confirm now.
"Oh?" Huangfu Song looked at Yang Biao in confusion: "How can I explain this?"
"Yi Zhen and Gong Wei are the pillars of the country. We are famous generals of the Han Dynasty and are also people that Your Majesty must rely on in the future. But if you put them in the court today, what can you do now?"
"With us waiting in the court, we can always shelter Your Majesty from the wind and rain." Zhu Jun frowned.
"What Your Majesty lacks now is military power, and there is no military power. Even if we fight to the death, if Li Jue and Guo Si really want to murder His Majesty, we will die young, but this 400-year foundation in the Han Dynasty may really be gone." Yang Biao sighed.
"But let's go out..." Huangfu Song said halfway, and suddenly stopped. He was a famous general in the world and had been in court for a long time. There were some things that didn't need to be pointed out. He just never thought that Liu Xie would have such a profound plan.
"Your Majesty has experienced ups and downs. Although it has been a hardship, he has also honed his mind far beyond his age. I think Your Majesty releases the two generals in the hope that the two generals can escape the dispute between the court, look at the world, secretly accumulate strength, and contact all kinds of loyal and righteous people. When the time is right, he can send troops to defend the king and capture and kill the two thieves Li and Guo!" Yang Biao said with a smile.
If Liu Xie was here, he would definitely say that the old man was thinking too much. He released Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, but he had the intention to attract foreign players. After all, these two people were the only ones left to him by his devil father, and he did have the ability. The biggest function of these two was to help him distract Li Jue and Guo Si's attention. It would be best to accumulate some strength. If not, he would not be too disappointed.
Countless historical lessons made him know that the weak ruler is a way to cause chaos, and the gun must be held in his own hands. Liu Xie absolutely does not want it to happen.
Cao Cao's initial ideal was to be a general in the Western Expedition, but what about it in the end? It's not that Cao Cao was ambitious, but when you get to that point, the current situation, subordinates, and general trend, there will be countless invisible forces pushing you forward. It's not that you can let go if you want to. Liu Xie once speculated in his heart that if Cao Cao really gave up his power in the future, would he let Cao Cao go and those people under his command?
The answer is yes, sure not.
Even if the emperor and the ministers are loyal, they have their family. When they really get to that point, they are afraid that their situation will not be much better than they are now. The only difference is that Li Jue and Guo Si are notorious, but they are famous all over the world. Some things do even more harm to Liu Xie.
He needs the help of these people, but he will never want these people to put themselves in vain.
However, at this time, Huangfu Song and others obviously hadn't thought about this yet. The depression on their faces disappeared, and replaced by a surprise: "I don't want your Majesty to have such insights when he is young. In the future, he must be a wise monarch."
"Yes." Yang Biao sighed, with a little sadness in his eyes: "Your Majesty has suffered so much since he ascended the throne, but he has also tempered his mind and courage that is far beyond ordinary people. Today, when Chengming Palace, Your Majesty forced Li Jue to act rashly. My great man has been powerful for twenty-four generations. Your Majesty will achieve success in the future. Not to mention Emperor Gaozu, but I am the great man who has never had a wise king. I just think about the suffering I have suffered, but it makes my ministers ashamed. If we were not incompetent, how could you be so tired that Your Majesty would have suffered this kind of suffering."
At the end of the day, two lines of turbid old tears shed in my eyes.
Zhong Yao and Ding Chong sat down while Yang Biao started, but a look of thought flashed in his eyes when he heard this.
"Don't be sad when Duke Wenxian is in his heart. When we go to the county this time, we will work hard to manage and strive to raise all the troops as soon as possible." Huangfu Song stood up and bowed to Yang Biao.
"This matter should not be too hasty, so we should slow down. In addition, Ma Shoucheng of Xiliang is also a loyal and righteous man. Yizhen can try to contact him. It is not easy for Li and Guo to be thieves. This time, Fan Chou was sent to supervise two people. However, Fan Chou is brave but not scheming, and has a dull and simple personality. He can plan something. I will secretly send someone to contact you." Yang Biao waved his hand and said, Li Jue, Guo Si could not allow them to recruit soldiers and horses. After all, this territory in Guanzhong is still the world of the Xiliang army.
