Chapter 78 Problems
After sending off Cai Yan with a look of gratitude, Liu Xie always felt that he had forgotten something. Liu Xie attached great importance to this rare talented woman with dual talent and a special talent for educating people.
As for whether other princes would question them, Liu Xie was not too worried. Cai Yong's reputation among the scholars was quite good. Wang Yun's stubborn killing of Cai Yong in the past was that when he was in trouble, no one jumped out to speak. Even after his death, the Wang family was killed by Li Jue and Guo Si. Although there were some people in the court, no one came out to dissuade him, even if there was a word of dissuasion.
In fact, before the Xiliang army counterattacked Chang'an, although Wang Yun held great power because of Cai Yong, he had already shown signs of being betrayed by everyone. What happened later also proved this very well.
As long as the princes of Guandong are not in their minds, they will be scolded to death by Cai Yong's disciples and former officials as long as they have no mind. They all say that Yuan's disciples and former officials are everywhere, but this is not much worse for Cai Yong.
"Your Majesty, the Minister of State ordered Jia Xu to ask for a meeting." Just as Liu Xie was thinking about what he had forgotten, Wei Zhong, who sent Cai Yan back, reported again.
"Let him come in." When Liu Xie heard Jia Xu ask for a meeting, he did not neglect. He was the counselor he recruited without hesitation to surrender to the nobles.
Thinking of the agreement between him and Jia Xu that day, Liu Xie couldn't help but feel a little funny. Although Jia Xu agreed to be loyal to him, he did not ask for any benefit. He even took the initiative to demote himself to another Xiliang general, and in the court, he still lowered his presence as much as possible as before.
They are both talented people, but Jia Xu and Li Ru are completely different extremes. Li Ru is a person who is never willing to be mediocre even if he dies. However, Jia Xu is just the opposite. All his talents revolve around the prerequisite of survival.
Although it was not stated clearly, Liu Xie knew that Jia Xu was probably worried that Liu Xie had the intention to revive the Han Dynasty and also had enough potential.
As a wise man of this era, Jia Xu knew very well that Liu Xie wanted to revive the Han Dynasty. The biggest problem was not the current princes, but the aristocratic families.
In the two hundred years since the Guangwu Revival, the aristocratic family has gradually grown to a point that has affected the rise and fall of the imperial power. If Liu Xie wants to revive the country, the aristocratic family is an unavoidable obstacle. To be honest, the possibility of failure is extremely high.
Liu Xie wants to check and balance the aristocratic family. As a person loyal to Liu Xie, people like Jia Xu, Li Ru, and Xu Huang must use it. Not to mention Li Ru, his identity is actually dead and can only be hidden behind the scenes at this moment. Liu Xie wants to check and balance the aristocratic family, and many things cannot be done by himself. Therefore, he needs someone standing on the front desk to help him attract hatred from the aristocratic family.
Anyway, Jia Xu is absolutely unwilling to do such things. This is no longer a problem with the interests of the aristocratic family, but a fundamental problem with the aristocratic family. He can even be willing to help Liu Xie give advice, but he is absolutely unwilling to stand on the front desk to fight the aristocratic family. Just look at Shang Yang and you will know that even if he wins in the end, the outcome will definitely not be good. Even Wang Yun's outcome is probably his outcome, which is something that Jia Xu will never allow.
Liu Xie could not guess Jia Xu's idea, and probably only thought that he was because of his identity. As for letting Jia Xu take charge of these things, even if Jia Xu wanted them, Liu Xie would not dare to give them to him.
It’s not that he lacks ability, but that Jia Xu’s personality is not suitable for presiding on such things. This has nothing to do with wisdom, strategy, etc. If you hand over the matter to Jia Xu, it may solve the superficial problem, but it will definitely not achieve the ideal effect. This old fox can probably mix with him.
Behind the scenes, it is actually quite good. There is such a top wise man who secretly makes suggestions for himself, who can be used as a trump card and a killer weapon. What others don’t know is called a trump card. Jia Xu is obviously more suitable for this kind of role.
While thinking, Wei Zhong had already brought Jia Xu to the palace.
"Wei Zhong, I'll send you a token later so that he can enter and exit the palace freely." Looking at his black robe and wrapped himself tightly in his robe. It was not until he saw Liu Xie that he took off the scarf on his head and showed his true face. Liu Xie couldn't help but smile, Jia Xu was too careful, right?
"Here." Wei Zhong nodded respectfully and replied.
"You go down first, no one can get close without my order."
After Wei Zhong stepped down, Liu Xie smiled and looked at Jia Xu and said, "Sir, I am too careful in this way."
"At an extraordinary time, Xu is now embarrassed and dare not cause any trouble to His Majesty." Jia Xu said respectfully.
"I have said that one crime is the only punishment. In fact, if Mr. I am willing, I can make the previous work of helping me fight against the thief to the public. I believe that no one will question Mr. Mr. for this matter again at that time." Liu Xie shook his head and smiled.
"It's hard to predict people's hearts, so it's better to be careful." Jia Xu shook his head. Indeed, if it was really as Liu Xie said, no one would make things difficult for him again because of this matter, but it also means that if Jia Xu is Liu Xie's confidant, he will probably be held in hatred.
"I wonder what your Majesty is asking me to come this time?" Jia Xu bowed and said.
When Liu Xie heard this, his face became serious and looked at Jia Xu seriously and said, "Sir, you must know that when I was in power, I once said that I would investigate the administration."
"But it was hindered?" Jia Xu nodded, and he already knew in his heart why Liu Xie said this.
"No," Liu Xie sighed: "In order to shock those officials, I have transferred the hundreds of elite soldiers around me to various places to supervise the matter. These people are elite soldiers I secretly trained to deal with the two thieves Li Guo. If we talk about fighting in battle, each of them is enough to be ten, but we say that we should investigate the administration..."
Shaking his head, Liu Xie frowned and said, "I know the difficulty of this matter. I am afraid there are aristocratic families behind it. Although these elite soldiers are loyal, they are all martial artists. To say something unpleasant, even if those officials make false under their noses, they may not be able to find out."
At the end of his speech, Liu Xie couldn't help but clench his fists. The first thing he did after he took power was strongly resisted by these aristocratic families. This made Liu Xie very unhappy, but he was helpless. Although he reduced the tax, according to the people sent by Liu Xie, he reduced the tax by half. But in fact, when he arrived at the local area, this half became 30%, and even 10% in some places, two CDs, and these people obviously took his words as a warning.
As for the place where Liu Xie used to deal with these people to make the people plead for their deeds before, it also became a decoration.
