Chapter 658 Two Emperors of East and West
Xun You almost didn’t pause, and said all these words in a consistent tone. It was obvious that these words had been brewing in his heart for a long time, so he was able to say them all at once.
Xun You has always been a humble gentleman. No matter who he is facing, he is neither humble nor overbearing. Whether it is a market man or a prince and general, he is inferior to Mu Chunfeng. Today’s Xun You is emotional, with a white face like a jade. The excitement turned red.
“It turns out that Gongda pretended to be sick at home because of this, so I think it’s something.” Liu Ye smiled disapprovingly.
“So? So?” When Xun You saw Liu Ye’s nonchalant appearance, he was suddenly out of breath.
“It turns out that I was wrong about the general…” Xun You suddenly lowered his tone and laughed sorrowfully: “A certain person thought that the general was a hero who set things right, and a capable minister of the court, but did not expect that the general would have become Liang Ji and Dong Zhuozhi. flow.”
Having said this, Xun You’s voice was already trembling slightly, and the gaze towards Liu Ye was full of sadness.
In fact, Xun You had already spared it at this moment. You must know that Liang Ji and Dong Zhuo were both powerful ministers of the Eastern Han Dynasty court. Liang Ji was called “dominant general” by the little emperor because of his rampant powers. As a result, Liang Ji turned the little emperor secretly. Poisoned to death, and Dong Zhuo stayed in the dragon bed overnight, not to mention abolishing the Emperor.
Xun You called Liu Ye both Liang and Dong in person, which was tantamount to scolding Liu Ye. If he were changed into a narrow-minded person, he would have to deal with Xun You, and Liu Ye would not have a good face.
“Since the general wants to abolish the establishment of the emperor, You Li can’t stop it, so please return to the hometown.” Xun You bowed his head.
“No.” Liu Ye shook his head.
“If the general doesn’t allow it.” Xun You resolutely said: “Then You will have to be sick all the time, and the general does not want Shang Shuling to become a vacant post, right? Guo Fengxiao, Liu Ziyang, Jia Wen, and all talents are enough to replace You. ”
“Gongda, sit down, I was about to ask you a few questions.” Liu Ye shook his head, and reached out to signal him to sit down.
Xun You originally didn’t want to sit down, but thinking of the friendship between the two of them, he finally sat down, wanting to hear what Liu Ye had to say.
“Is it Wang Tu in the whole world, and the leader of the soil is not a royal minister.” Liu Ye said slowly: “Is it the Han Dynasty or Liu Bian who is Gongdazhong?”
“This… Of course You is loyal to the Han Dynasty.” Xun You paused slightly, of course.
“Since Gongda is loyal to the Han Dynasty, he should support this general!”
Liu Ye suddenly raised his voice and said, “The emperor left Luoyang without authorization and abandoned thousands of people. What kind of behavior is this? People are the most valuable, the society is second, and the emperor is the light. The emperor should set an example for the people of the world. Is it right to escape Luoyang?”
“Of course it’s not right.” Xun You retorted: “But since ancient times, there are reasons to abolish the emperor, just like Changyi Wang Liuhe, because of his lewdness and innocence, and Huo Guang abolished it; Li Wang has no way, the road is innocent, and the people riots. Is there any absurdity in the emperor’s son, or is it an act that is doing harm to the world?”
“Of course! If the emperor is embraced by other princes as emperor, then where is the dignity of my Luoyang court!”
Liu Ye said loudly: “If there are other princes who support the emperor, then my dignified Han court will become a pseudo court? The people all over the world think that waiting for me is usurping!”
“The people all over the world are all talking about it. Soldiers and soldiers from all over the world are going to use force. Shouldn’t it be that we should establish a new ruler and wait for others to attack us?” Liu Ye stared coldly at Xun You and said, “Could it be that Gongda would rather sit on the horizon? People use the emperor to split the Han court, sit back and watch the people cry and turmoil in the world, and also support Liu Bian, right?”
“This……”
Xun You was caught in a dilemma for a while, he didn’t know how to answer Liu Ye.
Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted Dong Zhongshu and deposed a hundred schools of dominating Confucianism, his purpose was to strengthen the feudal rule and make the people of the world loyal to the emperor. At this time, the loyal minister is not the loyal minister of the country, but the loyal minister of the emperor, even Xun You.
However, Xun You naturally had the concept of loyalty to the Han Dynasty in his mind. After being challenged by Liu Ye, he did not know how to choose.
“Mencius said that the people are the most important, the society is second, and the emperor is the light.” Liu Ye said solemnly: “The emperor imperial gate, the emperor died of the society! This side is the true emperor, and Liu Bian left the people of the Han Dynasty and the court officials. But he ran away on his own and no longer had the qualifications to be the emperor!”
“In order to prevent Liu Bian from being used by potential careerists, we should have taken measures immediately to support the new emperor, so as to stabilize the hearts of the people in the world.”
Having said that, Liu Ye patted Xun You’s shoulder: “Gongda, think about it, what you should do, I can’t live without you, and the court can’t live without a Chinese book order.”
After speaking, Liu Ye went out. Sometimes, it’s enough to speak up. It’s not necessary to say everything to the end. This way, it also leaves room for others to think. Maybe Xun You thinks it will be different after thinking about it. the result of.
Xun You stood there blankly, muttering to himself: “The court, Your Majesty, is it really that I was wrong…”
Three days later, Xun You recovered from his illness and returned to work at Shangshutai.
Five days later, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty was re-supported by Cao Cao in Pengcheng, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao was appointed as prime minister by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Pengcheng is a big city in Xuzhou, with outstanding people and great people. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, it was once the capital of the Western Chu Kingdom and has the foundation as the capital. Cao Cao had been preparing for a long time, and he had been operating here for a long time and built a palace, so Liu Bian moved into it immediately.
Suddenly, there were two emperors in the world. Liu Xie was sitting in Luoyang to the west, and Tianxia was called the Western Emperor; and Liu Bian was in Pengcheng to the east, so the world called it the Eastern Emperor. Suddenly, the two emperors in the world stood side by side. This incident has never happened since the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It can be said that it has appeared for the first time since the great ancestor Liu Bang ruled the world, except for Wang Mang’s rebellion.
However, although Cao Cao supported Liu Bian to proclaim emperor in Pengcheng, Liu Ye’s actions were much faster than Cao Cao. When the two emperors appeared, the prestige must be different. At this time, it depends on who spreads faster. . After Liu Bian left, Liu Ye rushed to Luoyang, immediately supported King Chen Liu as the emperor and issued an edict to the whole world.
And there are seven states under the control of Liu Ye alone. Therefore, except for Qingxu and the surrounding areas, basically the whole world knows that Liu Ye will support King Chen Liu as emperor, and then that Cao Cao will support Liu. Debate reset.
And Luoyang was originally a century-old imperial capital, so the Luoyang court is more prestigious.
