Chapter 3056: Ambition, arrogance(1/2)
Liu Xie’s problem is not that he cannot find the problem, but that he has discovered it but has no ability to solve the problem.
He discovered the problem again and again.
He fell down again and again in the face of new problems, falling to dust.
He doesn't understand what imperial power is.
He knows what prime minister is.
He seemed to understand, and he didn't seem to understand what the people in the world were.
He was not born an emperor, but he became an emperor. The emperor was supposed to rule the world, above all the people, with one word and one word following the law, but what he said doesn't count...
He wanted to gather some people, but more often he found himself in a one-man show.
The tall Chongde Hall is Liu Xie's stage.
No matter whether he applied red, black, white and yellow on his face, his surroundings were just as silent as a tomb.
The eunuchs of the Yellow Sect are like creaking insects, accompanying them by the dead bones. They sound like they can make some noise, but in fact they are useless.
『I'm not dead yet!』
Liu Xie gritted his teeth.
"The man is not dead yet!"
But he felt this kind of vaguely in his heart that the great man was not far from death.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he didn't want to admit it, and he didn't dare to admit it.
Cao Cao and Fei Qian were fighting fiercely, and he seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
In the battle between Guanzhong, Shandong, it was like two tigers fighting each other. If both sides were injured, then it would naturally benefit him. But now it seems that Cao Cao's strategy is like a fire and he is advancing rapidly. Why is Fei Qian so unbeatable?
If Cao Cao really won Guanzhong smoothly or had no damage, then Liu Xie would not be a fisherman and would only become a prey!
Cao Cao was less powerful than in history, but for this reason, the conflict with Jizhou and Yuzhou and Liu Xie were not as fierce as in history.
Now, if Fei Qian is gone, then there will be no buffer between Cao Cao and Liu Xie, and only the most fundamental conflict is left. This is inevitable, just like if there are still differences in humans, the birth of class cannot be avoided.
Who doesn't want to be God?
Who would shackles his ankle straps?
When you can't break it, you can only be honest, but if you have the chance to break the shackles, who would stand there?
For the gentry and powerful people in Jizhou and Yuzhou, they had such shackles on their feet, and Cao Cao was the boss who took the lead in smashing the shackles and was the first hero...
Well, strictly speaking, Cao Cao is not the first, he can only be said to be the bigger one.
The honor of the first place is still to the Yuan family.
Why do many children of the Han Dynasty always say that the Spring and Autumn Period is like, what is Zhou Gong, and what did the ancient sages do? The purpose is not to really think that the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, or even earlier Zhou Dynasty, but they also want to be "local emperors"!
Strictly speaking, at this stage, the gentry and powerful Han Dynasty still wanted to obtain the target they were still hovering around "Jiangquan".
Until Cao Pi...
What is the power of the minister?
The prime minister means "controversy", which means that the national affairs are of great importance. The emperor cannot have the final say alone, and must discuss with the prime minister. However, when Emperor Wu of Han, the prime minister's power completely declined.
Relatives and bureaucrats were replaced.
So for a long time, the pinnacle of the development of local tyrants was nothing more than aristocratic families. Just like the Yuan family, Yang family, hereditary three princes and disciples all over the world.
Then……
It's gone.
It's up to the top!
Going further up, there is no way to go!
Unless you overturn Liu and sit on it yourself, you will have to go downhill.
This is the case when it is prosperous and declining.
In fact, after the local tyrants developed to the extreme of their ministers, their ultimate goal was to split the place and become princes in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, or to restore the traditions of the early Han Dynasty, and to control the world by governing the country.
At this point, Liu Xie had a chance...
Unfortunately, he didn't understand, so he missed it.
Liu Bang, an old hooligan, cut leeks and made the local tyrants go crazy. He finally supported Wang Mang to go up, but as soon as Wang Mang sat on his butt, he picked up his pants and turned against him. He even wanted to pay for the originally negotiated price...
Where can this be done?
So Liu Xiu, the chosen son of God, came into being.
The historical books describe that there are places around the chosen son of Heaven and the powerful rely closely on, forming a strong core, gathering together under the Liu family's banner...
But on the other hand, does it mean that Liu Xiu was tied up by local tyrants?
The originally confined centralized system has exposed gaps.
The shackles are getting looser and looser.
Weeds emerged from the gaps in the throne frantically, with a clump in the east and a bunch in the west.
Liu Xie sat on a throne that looked like it, but was actually full of weeds. He was thinking about removing the weeds and re-mounting the throne, but he didn't know that if the weeds could be really removed, the throne would collapse...
Are there anyone who is good at dealing with weeds?
Yes, the people who work hard to serve the fields every day are best at dealing with weeds, just organize them.
The difficulty is here.
Liu Xie couldn't organize it, and he didn't know how to organize it.
He tried.
He failed.
The people at the bottom are far away from Liu Xie and are very busy. They don’t have much free time to look up. Even if they occasionally look up, they can only see the outline of Liu Xie and his throne. It is not clear that Liu Xie is now troubled by weeds, and Liu Xie’s voice cannot be conveyed to the bottom, so the weeds grow unscrupulously, which makes Liu Xie hate them more and more.
Liu Xie wanted to activate the emperor's talent skills, mobilize the masses to attack the masses, and ask other court officials to attack Cao Cao, but he suddenly realized that it was not working because the masses had no swords in their hands, and Cao Cao had it.
Liu Xie did not have a knife, and even if he had him, he could not leave the throne. Because once he left this throne, he would not be the emperor or the emperor. Even if the throne was already ragged and overgrown with weeds, what Liu Xie wanted was that Cao Cao had broken his knife and Fei Qian cut off his gun, and the world would be able to return to the state of mass attacking the masses, just like a tenant who had been attacked by the property. No matter whether he was killed or killed, it had nothing to do with the throne. Although their money was eventually paid taxes, it was logical that he had to do things after collecting the money...
"Or it's like Yuan and Gongsun fighting each other and stopping it with an imperial edict?"
Liu Xie thought about it, then shook his head and smiled.
wry smile.
He had thought his edict was useful before, but later he realized that edicts were only useful when others were willing to listen to and admit them. Otherwise...
Liu Xie's mind suddenly flashed. He thought of some things that Fei Qian had said when he was still in Guanzhong before, saying, "The Han Dynasty is out of order..."
right!
That's it!
Liu Xie suddenly became excited. He circled in the Chongde Hall, then stood still, and said loudly: "Come here!"
The eunuch of the yellow gate in the shadow outside the hall appeared at the door, blocking a little light, and kneeling on the ground.
"Go and invite the envoy Zhong to come! Let's discuss the new laws of the Han Dynasty!"
Didn’t Zhong Yao propose the theory of avoiding death?
But just a theory of avoiding death obviously does not bring any additional benefits to Liu Xie, because there are not enough people involved, the voices are not loud, and it cannot even fill the Chongde Hall. Now, the new rules of the Han Dynasty can allow more people to participate and let there be more different voices in the Chongde Hall!
The eunuch of the Yellow Gate left in a hurry.
Liu Xie raised his head and looked at the bright outline reflected at the gate of Chongde Hall, full of expectations.
He is looking forward to it.
It's like looking forward to tomorrow...
Tomorrow, tomorrow.
...
...
Tongguan.
Cao Jun's joint camp, with strict temperament.
The soldiers were displayed before Tongguan, and the soldiers were covered with cold light under the sun.
Sometimes, even though I know it doesn’t work, I still have to do it.
Sometimes, even though I know it is a waste, I still waste it.
In war, human life is the least valuable, and among human life, the life of labor laborers is the cheapest. When it is so cheap that it is not enough, try it first. Just like a pawn in Chinese chess, it always cannot escape the fate of being eaten at the beginning.
Amid the roar of war drums, intensive labor and coolies pushed the shield chariots side by side, trying to establish a safe shelter on Huangxiangban, Tongguan. Behind the shield chariots, more laborers took wooden shovels and sticks to fill the pits dug out by the cavalry. They had filled the pits that had dozens of steps ahead, and even in winter, they were sweating profusely and consumed a lot of physical strength. However, no one pityed them, but they were still driving them like a cattle and horse, allowing them to continue moving forward.
The catapults on both sides built on the soil plates bombarded each other. The huge rock bullets roared, either hitting the wall platform or hitting the propelling shield vehicle. The bricks and tiles on the platform collapsed, and the shield vehicle was split in all directions.
