The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 10 Chapter 221: The Sacred Heart of Siam (Part 1)

As Liu Xie's close minister for many years, and Zhong Yao, who has gained more and more trust from Liu Xie in the recent infighting between Li Jue and Guo Si, wants to leave Liu Xie's side for a while, it is really not easy.

It was not until the afternoon that Zhong Yao came to Xun Zhen's camp and met Xun Zhen.

Xun Zhen went outside the camp, greeted him, hugged his arm, and invited him into the camp.

When they got to the tent, they sat down with each other, and Xun Zhen said, "Yuanchang, I've been in Chang'an, and today is the fourth day, but apart from the day of the visit to the Holy Sage, I met with Qing in General Dong's camp once, and it's been a long time. I've never had a goodbye before... It's either you are busy or I am busy. I finally have to meet you today!" Carefully looked at Zhong Yao again, quite sighing, with admiration in his tone again, and said, "Yuanchang, In the past few years, Qing servants have served around the sage, and in this critical situation, it is expected that there will be dangers, embarrassing Qing, and hard work!"

Zhong Yao smiled and said, "As a minister, to be loyal to the Son of Heaven, this is my duty, neither hard work nor embarrassment, but a general, who first suppressed the Yellow Turbans in the past few years, and then fought against Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Lü Bu, etc. It is the real hard work and danger.”

Xun Zhen said unhappily, "Yuanchang, you and I are old friends in my hometown, and we meet again today. You should treat each other as old friends, but why is your official position commensurate with it? It's still the same as before, just call me by my name!"

Zhong Yao replied with a smile.

After reciting a few sentences, Zhong Yao said: "This morning, Cao Mengde wrote a resignation form to the sage, saying that he had received a military report and that there were thieves in Taiyuan County, and he needed to rush back immediately to quell the thieves and pacify the chaos. It was too late to say goodbye to His Majesty, so he left Chang'an and returned to Taiyuan in the north... Zhenzhi, I heard that Cao Mengde came to meet you in your camp yesterday, didn't he?"

Xun Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, Meng De and I haven't seen each other for many years. I heard that he was in Chang'an, so I invited him to meet in our camp yesterday."

Zhong Yao said: "Yesterday, when Cao Mengde and Wang Wen both met with the saint, the saint told them both that in a few days, after the palace was cleaned up, a banquet would be held in the palace to celebrate the breaking of the thieves and ask Cao Mengde He and Wang Wen both attended the banquet when they arrived. Cao Mengde respectfully agreed to his promise at the time and did not say anything to shirk it, but why did he hurriedly return to Taiyuan in a blink of an eye? The words 'a thief makes trouble' in the above table, It's obviously an excuse." He asked Xun Zhen, and said, "Zhenzhi, I have something inappropriate to ask,...Did you say something to him when you saw him yesterday?"

Xun Zhen smiled and said: "Yuanchang, I didn't tell him anything, I just said that I plan to go to the court and represent him as the governor of Bingzhou or Youzhou, in order to reward him for his diligent work. Other than that, there is nothing else. It says."

How smart is Zhong Yao, he recognized the murderous intention behind Xun Zhen's words without even thinking about it, but he was a little puzzled, he stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then said, "Zhenzhi, this time the king of thief Qin Qin. , although Cao Mengde obtained the secret order in advance, and also made credit, but his contribution is small, he can't be compared with you, and he is now attached to Yuan Benchu, and now he is just a governor of Taiyuan. Doesn't it seem worth your attention?"

"Yuanchang, in front of you, I will not tell lies. Li Jue and Guo Si have been defeated by me today. Although these two thieves have not yet been captured, it is not a concern. If you want to assist the sage, clarify the sea, In my opinion, if Yuan Gonggong and Yuan Benchu ​​are brothers, they are not worth mentioning, but Mengde may become a hindrance in the future."

Zhong Yao was surprised and said, "Cao Mengde is so important in the heart of the Duke!"

A word that he had heard in a previous life suddenly came to Xun Zhen's mind, and he brought it out with a little playfulness, and said to Zhong Yao with a smile, "Noye, Noye, Yuan Chang, it's not that Meng De is important in my heart, it's that I don't have him. ,Very important."

"It's very important not to have him." Zhong Yao Pinzhi couldn't help but praise him again and again, and said, "The Duke's words are wonderful!" He asked Xun Zhen, and said, "Since the Duke attaches so much importance to Cao Mengde and takes advantage of his visit to the Hajj, why not keep him In the DPRK? And why let him go?"

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "Yuanchang, even if I want to stay, can I keep it?"

"... This is also what the public said. If you want to fulfill the public will and keep him in the court, it is impossible to do so now."

Xun Zhen had only just arrived in the court, and he had the responsibility of recording ministerial affairs. He was still far from having the power to dominate the court and the opposition. If he wanted to accomplish something, he had to see the opinions of Yang Biao and others. Most of them are against it, and it can't be done.

Xun Zhen glanced at Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai understood Xun Zhen's meaning, and said to Zhong Yao, "Master Zhong, the general invited you to meet in the camp today, not only to talk about goodbye, but also a matter of great importance, I want to discuss with you, Ask for your opinion."

Zhong Yao asked, "What's the matter?"

Xi Zhicai said: "Li Jue, Guo Si and other thieves have been causing trouble in Chang'an for a long time. Last year, when Chang'an suffered a severe drought, the people devoured each other, and the hundreds of thousands of mouths were almost eaten! The day before yesterday, Feng Xiao and I went to Chang'an City for a walk. Turn around, take a look, and see with my own eyes, the city is really dilapidated, and there are not one out of ten people. It is covered in white bones, everywhere in the streets and in the streets. Wherever it is still a royal capital, it looks like a ghost! The palace still intends to live in Chang'an, but Zhong and others foolishly think that this Chang'an is probably not suitable for the sage to live again. Because the general's meaning is, can you speak to the sage and suggest moving to another place for the time being?"

"Chang'an's current situation is indeed not suitable for being a capital anymore... If you move it to another place, I don't know if you want to enter the Sage of Words, where should you move it?"

Xi Zhicai said, "Yingchuan."

"Yingchuan?"

Xi Zhicai said: "Exactly, what is your intention?"

Zhong Yao raised his face, stroked his beard, and thought carefully. Xun Zhen and the others did not disturb him and gave him time to fully consider.

After waiting for a long time, Zhong Yao wanted to settle down. He settled down and said to Xun Zhen, "Zhenzhi, if you move the capital to Yingchuan, there are three advantages."

Xun Zhen asked with great interest, "Yuan Chang thought, what are the three benefits?"

Zhong Yao said, "Although Yingchuan suffered military disasters during Dong Zhuo's rebellion, and then Yuan Shu and Lü Bu invaded, the past few years can be called Taiping, but it is not as prosperous as it used to be. Both are also beneficial to this one.”

"What about Erli?"

Zhong Yao replied: "Yingchuan is in the middle of the world, and it is quite close to the Sifang Prefectures and counties. If the sage moves here temporarily, it can play a role of centering the weight and controlling the four directions. This is the second benefit."

"What about Sanli?"

Zhong Yao said: "Gongxiong is the only one who makes a big deal, and the brothers Yuan Gonggong and Yuan Benchu ​​are naturally non-gong enemies. However, the most powerful and famous ones are the brothers Yuan Gonggong and Yuan Benchu. Baili can be used to check and balance Yuan Benchu ​​nearby, and the south of Yingchuan borders Nanyang, the time is ripe

, it is also convenient to discuss the Yuan Road first, which is the third benefit. "

Xun Zhen slapped her palms in admiration and said, "Yuanchang, heroes see the same thing! The three benefits that you mentioned are exactly the reason why I want to ask the sage to move to Yingchuan."

[To tell the truth, recently I have been using Mimi to read and read books to keep up with updates, switch sources, and read aloud tones, which can be used by Android and Apple. 】

Knowing that Xun Zhen had already proposed to move the capital to Yingchuan, then the benefits of moving the capital to Yingchuan, including the "three benefits" he said, must have been considered clearly by Xun Zhen long ago. Will it be reported to Xun Zhen? For no other reason, he was taking the opportunity to show Xun Zhen his political and strategic vision. Zhong Yao was a prudent and thoughtful person. Xun Zhen saw that he was about to become a new official of the Han family. He knew deeply that if he wanted to continue to maintain a close relationship with Xun Zhen in the future, he would only rely on his previous friendship. Enough, he had to let Xun Zhen know that he could have a bigger role, so he did this.

In addition to the three benefits, of course, there are Xun Zhen, Xi Zhicai, Zhong Yao, etc., all of which are the benefits of the landlords of Yingchuan people.

Zhong Yao said, "I agree with this public opinion."

Xun Zhen said: "Sage Shang, Yuan Chang, do you think you will agree? And the princes in the court, do you agree?"

"There is no need to worry about the lord. You have to talk about it. As for the princes in the court, the servant Han and others will definitely not object, but the captain Yang may have different opinions."

Xun Zhen frowned slightly, and said, "I also have this concern. Yuan Chang, when I first arrived in the court, I was not familiar with the princes. You have been in the court for a long time, but you are well acquainted with the princes. If Duke Yang really objected, you would have Convince him of his grasp?"

Zhong Yao stroked his long black beard and thought about it for a while~www.wuxiamtl.com~ and replied to Xun Zhen, "Even if you don't have the confidence to convince Duke Yang, but Yao has the confidence to persuade Duke Zhao of Situ, Duke Zhang of Sikong, etc... As long as Duke Zhao, Duke Zhang, etc. are persuaded, even if Duke Yang still opposes, what is the use of his words? How can he resist the public opinion of the public? Please don't worry, the suggestion that the sage should move to Yingchuan will be implemented. !"

Xun Zhen was overjoyed, held up the water bowl on the table, showed it to Zhong Yao, and said, "Let's replace the wine with tea, and drink this cup with the Qing first, and when the matter of moving the capital is settled, I will wait until Yingchuan. Drinking hometown wine with Qing! ... Qing has not returned home for many years, right?"

Zhong Yao grabbed the large sleeve robe, and also picked up the tea bowl on the table. He bumped into Xun Zhen from a distance, and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I missed my hometown! I miss my hometown's delicious wine, and my hometown's sweet water!"

The two smiled at each other and drank the tea from the bowl together.

It was agreed that Zhong Yao would persuade Liu Xie, and during this period, first try the opinions of the important officials in the court, such as Yang Biao, Zhao Wen, Zhang Xi, if Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi agreed, it would be best, if In case of doubt, it was still up to Zhong Yao, Han Rong and Huangfu Li to help Xun Zhen persuade the two of them. After Liu Xie, Zhao Wen, and Zhang Xi were all persuaded, Xun Zhen went to the court. It is proposed to move to Yingchuan.

The matter was settled, Zhong Yao was very busy and could not wait any longer, so he left and returned to Dong Chengying to accompany Liu Xie.

Before parting, he told Xun Zhen that if there was a chance, he could throw the "moving car" first today -- not to mention where the moving car was, try Liu Xie's meaning.

...

As evening approached, the gatekeepers of the Yuan came rushing to report, Xin Ai and Zhang Fei captured Li Xian and Li Li triumphantly, and they returned to the camp with their cavalry.
