Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Rebirth of Sun Ce VIP Chapter 172 There are only a few words in the imperial edict of Kong Rong's proposal, but it carries the expectations of everyone below Xian Emperor.  There are not many words, but it has concisely and comprehensively outlined the future interests of the world.

    The one who lost was only the Jiangnan Army, but the one who gained was the four parties involved in the conspiracy.  The people conveying the imperial edict this time were all old Royal Guards who had been carefully inspected by Dong Cheng.  They followed Emperor Xian to Chang'an in the west and moved east to Luoyang.

    The journey back and forth over several years was more than a thousand miles, and there were many hardships and life and death involved.  Such an encounter is the best test for their loyalty, and they will not be as glorious as the Ouchi guards in peacetime.

    Even in such an encounter, these people did not betray the emperor.  They are also less likely to betray His Majesty the Emperor, whom they have been taught since childhood to be loyal to him for the rest of their lives.  For these people, Emperor Xian was as close as Dong Cheng and others.

    The officials in the palace looked at the three Han generals who quickly took orders and left the palace carrying the imperial edict, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.  Hope has been given, and what follows is a short but anxious wait.

    Since entering the DPRK, Kong Rong, who has been quietly watching the situation of all parties, finally made a decision at this moment.  He began to follow his own heart and support the emperor.  He stepped forward and bowed in salute: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

    For this famous descendant of Confucius, Emperor Xian and Dong Cheng certainly understood the influence of Confucius' grandson in the minds of today's scholars and aristocratic families.  And with power falling to the side, the extremely weak imperial power certainly needs the help of such a heavyweight.

    Although I don¡¯t know to what extent Kong Rong can help the emperor, since Kong Rong came to Jinling from Qingzhou and joined the imperial court.  The small group of Emperor Xian already had a tacit understanding and respected him very much.

    Of course, no one will force him to make any statement, but Kong Rong is almost completely unprepared when discussing all major events.  Such an atmosphere had unconsciously drawn Kong Rong into the royalist party.

    In addition, Emperor Xian was in a good mood as the important things had been done. He hurriedly expressed his excitement and said, "Mr. Kong's loyalty to the court is well known to the world! All those who are in this palace at this moment are my most loyal and virtuous ministers."  , Mr. Kong doesn¡¯t need to be polite!

    Mr. Kong, do you know that I am waiting for your kind words, but my heart feels bitter when I wait!  I also ask you, sir, to tell me everything you know and to help the Han Dynasty!  On behalf of the past emperors of the past dynasties, I would like to thank Mr. Kong!  "

    With that said, Emperor Xian actually bowed to Kong Rong with dignity!  Emperor Xian, who felt deeply that the imperial court was weak, had no other ways and channels to save the declining imperial power.  But how could Emperor Xian, who was growing up, be willing to be a puppet for the rest of his life?

    For Emperor Xian, whose ambitions were inflated, it was very dangerous for the court, which was in an absolutely weak position, to take any inappropriate actions.  Because anyone in the imperial court is likely to sell himself to the Jiangnan Army in exchange for merit.

    ¡°Other than the limited old man Dong Cheng, the only person he can trust now is the Confucian leader in front of him.  In such a world, only the descendants of the Confucius family, who are scholarly and heirlooms, can truly put the orthodox imperial power of the Han Dynasty in the supreme position.

    Kong Rong was deeply moved when he bowed down to Emperor Xian like this: "How could the emperor do this? This is really killing me! Respecting Zhengshuo of the imperial court is my lifelong insistence with the scholars in the world who have read the books of sages and sages."  This is moral and moral, and no one can violate this!"

    Emperor Xian and Dong Cheng looked at each other very quickly, and could only smile helplessly and shake their heads: "There are still a few scholars in the world who, at this point, will really take it to heart that the court and the emperor have been ruined without doing anything.  superior."

    Even Kong Rong himself, a representative figure of Confucian orthodoxy, also waited and watched for a long time before making his decision.  How can you ask others to risk their lives to serve!  In addition, Qunxian Pavilion cooperated with the Jiangnan Army Propaganda Team and published tens of thousands of various books and promotional materials.

    It greatly won the hearts of the people.

    The most important thing is the implementation of the imperial examination system, which made the political system of the Jiangnan Army very popular among the scholars and people in Jiangnan today.  Even some of those aristocratic families would oppose such a system.

    But for now, aristocratic families still occupy more educational resources, and talented people will not

    Looking at this first imperial examination, the children of the scholar family still accounted for a large share of those who won the official position.  And the majority of aristocratic families that have already benefited or are about to benefit will not object to such a fair system.  No one has enough power even if they want to rebel.

    If things go on like this, the emperor's status will inevitably deteriorate more and more.  In the end, he can only become what the Governor of Jiangnan expected, just a puppet who can only issue imperial edicts and seals, or a yes man who can only nod.??

    In this way, even if Sun Ce wanted to grant Emperor Xian the throne, Emperor Xian could only abdicate silently.  Kong Rong, who had been observing and thinking about the general trend for a long time, was by no means a fool.  Seeing the expressions of the two men, of course he understood what the emperor was worried about.

    Whether it is the emperor, the Jiangnan Army, or the original Dong Zhuo, Li and Guo Si.  The focus of everyone's struggle is nothing more than the true dominance of the entire Han Dynasty.  Whoever truly grasps this power and subdues the people's hearts will end this struggle.

    It¡¯s just like a change of dynasty in a peaceful state.  It's just that the emperor still has a little reputation, but no power.  And the Jiangnan Army still has borrowing value from the emperor, which is why such a strange tripartite check and balance situation was formed.

    Instead, he smiled slightly and said: "The emperor and Zhi Ren are far-sighted and have plans for the overall situation of the world! I admire them very much.

    "But Your Majesty, Your Excellency, I see that you are only recruiting foreign aid from outside. Have you ever thought about dismantling the Jiangnan Army from within?"  "

    In an instant, a bright light flashed in the eyes of Emperor Xian and Dong Cheng.  Whether from the inside or outside, as long as they can disintegrate the power of the Jiangnan Army, isn't that what they want to do day and night?

    But desire is one thing, but reality is very cruel.  Jiangnan Army respected the emperor and every minister very much, but no one dared to come forward to criticize Jiangnan Army's behavior.

    Whether it is the actions of warlords such as Dong Zhuo or Li Guo, they have educated Emperor Xian and others very well.  Speak politely with the warlords who hold the power of life and death and negotiate to take back the imperial power.  That is not only asking for trouble, it is even asking for death.

    Life is pretty good now, so try not to get into trouble if it's not necessary.  Just looking at the recent actions of the Jiangnan Army, there is nothing that requires Emperor Xian's approval.  In addition to stamping the official memorials sent one after another.

    The content of the memorial made no big difference whether Emperor Xian read it or not.  It's useless even if Emperor Xian disagrees, the policies they want to implement will definitely be implemented.  Sending it to Emperor Xian was just a formality.

    Even the imperial seal in the hands of Emperor Xian was found and handed back by the Jiangnan Army!  As the old saying goes, it's hard to find a three-legged person in this world, but there are many Liu family relatives who have two hands and can stamp their seals.

    In this troubled world, countless household registrations in various places have been corrupted.  There is no advanced inspection technology of a, no matter what your true origin is.  As long as a person wants to be named Liu, or someone wants you to be named Liu, you can have the surname Liu.

    Since anyone can be named Liu, there is no problem as to whether they are related to the Liu family or not.  If you say you are, then you are. On the contrary, if you say you are not, then you are not!

    However, seeing what Kong Rong said seemed to be very confident, Dong Cheng still asked with some excitement: "Kong, Master Kong, can you have a clever plan to change the predicament faced by the emperor? If it succeeds, Lord Kong will definitely  Can be ranked among the three nobles!"

    Among the ministers in this hall, whether public or private, Dong Cheng's greatest desire was to overthrow the Jiangnan Army.  Only when the Jiangnan Army fell could the royal family have the possibility of regaining its authority.  Only then can he, the uncle of the state who is attached to the royal family, gain real prestige.

    Kong Rong glanced at Dong Cheng indifferently and then turned his attention to Emperor Xian.  Of course he could see the urgent desire in Emperor Xian's eyes. If the young Emperor Xian could regain the throne, he would definitely not be a faint king.

    Having experienced so many setbacks, being able to endure humiliation in adversity and patiently waiting for the opportunity.  Winning over a group of loyal people, they made the best plans for themselves and the great man.  Isn¡¯t this the kind of wise king necessary for the great rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty?

    And as loyal ministers who rescued the emperor from adversity, the status of the Kong family will inevitably rise to a higher level because of his existence.

    At this moment, Kong Rong only saw the emperor who was about to become a wise king.

    He saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty! I think that the Jiangnan Army was almost invincible in the previous battles! Of course they have their cleverness! If the Emperor suppresses them with external force, I am afraid that they will be defeated.  The big man who had just been calmed down was once again caught in the flames of war.

    If there is another war, it will definitely lead to a real loss of life.  This is not the best policy for the emperor's future governance and the recuperation of all people in the world.  The Han Dynasty, with a population of less than 10 million, really cannot withstand a war.  "

    Emperor Xian, who was also excited at first, suddenly saw his eyes clear: "Well! Mr. Kong's words are right. I have learned a lesson! I know that the Jiangnan Army has made great contributions to my big man in quelling the chaos! I don't want to do this either.  but!"

    Seeing Emperor Xian groan in embarrassment, Kong Rong said confidently: "Your Majesty is wise! I also know that under such a situation, it is a delusion to ask the Jiangnan Army to lay down its weapons and allow the Emperor to regain the power of the court!"

      However, we can plan in advance to control the scope and extent of the bloodshed to a relatively small area.  In this way, the impact can be reduced to as light as possible, which is the best!  "

    Having said this, Kong Rong paused for a moment and looked at Emperor Xian and all the ministers looking at him with questioning expressions on their faces.  He couldn't help but feel very proud in his heart: "Who said that a talented man without the power to tie a chicken cannot control the overall situation of the world! I, Kong Rong, can!"

    "Your Majesty, I think that not only should we call in foreign troops to serve the king, but we should also promote our own talents in the imperial court. We must have our own power in the imperial court. The old ministers in the palace now,  Although they are all loyal and righteous, the power they hold is too small!

    The emperor should also vigorously select a group of civil servants and generals who can be used by him to greatly increase the forces loyal to the emperor!  "

    Listening to Kong Rong¡¯s old tune, Emperor Xian just smiled bitterly and shook his head.  Taiwei Yang Feng said helplessly: "Oh! Kong Wenju, if this matter can be done, who wouldn't want to increase the emperor's power? But since the Jiangnan Army began to implement the imperial examination, it has completely controlled the personnel in the court.

    The power of employing people is not in our hands at all.  Furthermore, even if the emperor wants to promote loyal people.  But there are few people who can be as loyal as Wen Ju, a scholar who traveled thousands of miles to serve the emperor!

    well!  People's hearts are not ancient!  Everyone in this world is happy to follow the trend, but few people actually go to the national disaster with the emperor!  well!  "

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the emperor and the emperor who insisted on running around with the emperor, and experienced many hardships and dangers, all the officials in the palace felt deeply.  At this moment, they all sighed in unison.

    Seeing the frustrated expressions of the ministers, Kong Rong smiled and said: "The lack of support from the noble families is actually not a problem! What if I come forward to call on you? I have been in Qingzhou for many years, and I have made friends with them.  Three or five close friends who know each other very well.

    Although these few people do not like official careers, they are all great talents in the world.  Moreover, they are very famous in Qingzhou and even the whole Hebei area.  If I, together with these people, appeal to the people of the world to surrender to the emperor, in order to uphold the Confucian scholar's ambition to serve the country with loyalty.

    In other states and counties, ministers dare not boast, but the knowledgeable people in Hebei will definitely respond one after another.  At that time, was the emperor still worried that no one would be available?  If a large number of scholars came to serve the emperor, would the Jiangnan Army still dare not to recruit them and become enemies of the noble families in the world?

    What¡¯s more, the Jiangnan Army is not in Jinling at all now. They are fighting in this vast area north of the Yangtze River and they don¡¯t know when they can return to the army?  "

    Hearing that a famous person from an aristocratic family could come to submit, Dong Cheng asked with great interest: "I wonder who the friend Mr. Kong mentioned is a wise person? Can you tell me?"

    "Haha!" I am extremely satisfied with the way my uncle Dong Cheng took over Kong Rong's rhetoric. This is what it is all about.  If no one answers when he talks to himself, then Kong Rong, no matter how eloquent he is, will definitely fall into a cold spot. At this moment, his attitude towards Dong Cheng can't help but become a little more friendly.

    "Have your uncle ever heard of the names of Beihai Wang Xiu, Peng, Bing Yuan and other wise men? I think they all studied in the same government office as Zheng Xuan, a famous scholar! He and Zheng Kangcheng were also classmates and friends!  "

    "Hey! It's Zheng Xuan and Zheng Kangcheng who are now the masters of the sage pavilion alongside Na Ma Ri! Well, no wonder! These people are all famous people in Beihai now, and I have heard of them. If they help, the scholars in Hebei will be defeated  It is indeed a great encouragement!

    Mr. Kong is worthy of being a descendant of a saint, and all the people he associates with are celebrities!  Your Majesty has a husband to help you, and the man has hope!  "

    Although he is knowledgeable, it does not mean that the self-proclaimed Kong Rong does not like to be praised.  What's more, the one who is praising him right now is the famous person in front of the emperor, the uncle of the country.  More importantly, the emperor is also in front of him.

    "Don't dare! My uncle has given me the reward! But I believe that as long as I raise my voice, there are still many people from these famous families who are willing to listen to me. But they are also just external forces, and what I really want to help is  The power within the Jiangnan Army!"

    These words immediately made Emperor Xian and others even more happy.  If Kong Rong can encourage the aristocratic families in Hebei to come to Qinwang together with famous celebrities, this will be another great help.  In this way, Emperor Xian would be more confident in suppressing the Jiangnan Army.

    What¡¯s more, it sounds like Kong Rong actually has stronger power to borrow. How can he not make the Emperor Xian and his ministers who are looking for support everywhere feel ecstatic?  After all, the stronger the power of change, the more stable the imperial power will be in the future.

    At this moment, Emperor Xian and others were already desperately seeking medical help, hoping to take advantage of the Jiangnan Army's dispatch to make a complete comeback.  In their eyes, Kong Rong was a very special person.

    He is not only the contemporary successor and head of the Confucius family, but also a world-famous Hebei celebrity.  Today¡¯s Master of Qunxian PavilionXuan Xuan once took refuge in him.  At the same time, he was also an important imperial official. The dignified titles of Tiger General, Lieutenant General and Beihai Prime Minister were not given to him for free.

    "However, although Emperor Xian and others knew about Kong Rong's reputation as a living scholar, they did not understand Kong Rong's true talents.  Kong Rong, who only knew how to study his own sage books, did not have many clever strategies in real strategy and politics except sitting and discussing with his close friends.

    Back then, even the ragtag Yellow Turban Army under Guan Hai was able to beat him, the Prime Minister of Beihai, to such a pulp that he fled back to Beihai to be trapped.  They had to ask for help from Liu Bei, who only had 2,000 elite soldiers, to relieve the siege.

    What is "sitting down and discussing the Tao"?  To put it bluntly, they are just a group of talkative scholars talking about current affairs insignificantly.  This is a culture of talking without doing anything.  After the Jin Dynasty, which was not enterprising, it expanded rapidly.

    Among the depressed senior officials of the Jin Dynasty, it became the most elegant and noble habitual activity for the so-called nobles.  So much so that during the Wuhu chaos in China, the Sima family, who was accustomed to narcissism, really lost half of the country in Jiangbei.

    In such a chat activity where scholars praised each other, Kong Rong, who was the central figure, naturally received the most attention.  Make him more confident and proud.  It seems that everything in the world can be settled as long as Kong Rong opens his mouth.

    And the fact that Kong Rong was against Cao Cao in history does not mean that these can be the reasons for Cao Cao to kill him.

    But it can only be used as Cao Cao's motive to kill him.  Can some explanation be used to prove that Kong Rong did not go against Cao Cao?  Didn't you offend Cao Cao?  Aren't you ignorant of current affairs?

    And if you dare to do this in front of Cao Cao, what else is it but self-destruction?  And why is he like this?  The reason is simply that he is a famous person, and a famous person with great influence, and he thinks that Cao Cao can't do anything to him.

    In fact, Cao Cao also "thought his fame to the world, and the foreign minister tolerated it." This intensified the expansion of the 20th generation grandson of Confucius, who always looked down upon Cao Cao and did everything right in both big and small matters.

    That¡¯s all. Kong Rong even took the initiative to go against Cao Cao on some important military matters.  For example, on the eve of the Battle of Guandu, how big a blow would the pessimistic remarks he made about Cao Cao's group have?
