Li Yi also shook his head secretly, this is really like a mountain, such as Xu Maogong, Liu Bowen and others, the resourcefulness of up to 99 can be regarded as unparalleled in wisdom, but when they play this politics, it is far behind. Even if Liu Bowen's political talent is as high as 95, but because he has not been exposed to politics for too long, his reaction in this regard is much lower.

Li Yi finally understood why there were so many awesome generals and strategists in history, they were powerful on the battlefield and omnipotent, but once they entered the era of peace, they suddenly fell silent and obscure, all because of the word politics.

Moreover, the politics here does not only refer to the politics reflected in the numbers in the military general system, but the political values in the military general system can actually be understood as the ability to deal with government affairs. However, the politics mentioned here refers to the trick of political scheming, which has little to do with the ability to handle government affairs.

"Mr. Wen Ruo, how to integrate? Can you talk about that? Gui Ying's sister-in-law hid her head and tail when she spoke, and what she said was the same as if she didn't say it. Zhang Fei was a person who couldn't hold his breath, and immediately asked, "Is there any way to make the eldest brother not only not have to cede power, but also get more power?" ”

Xun Yu twisted his short beard, thought for a moment, and said: "Yide and the generals, you have been fighting in the field all the year round, and you are indeed not familiar with the government and politics, and you can even be said to be very unfamiliar. Although the lord has been supervising the military and political affairs of northern Xinjiang for more than a year, the lord's attention is on the battlefield, and the specific affairs of the government are basically not asked, and they are all handled by Ping Zhong, Yuan Hao, Changwen and Yuan Chang, as well as Cao Peng's subordinates in the mansion. So far, the lord may not have a very good understanding of the specific operation of the government and the role of the government officials. For example, the generals know that grain is very important, but the generals know how many ways it takes for the government at all levels to send the grain handed over by a peasant household to the state treasury. How many procedures are used? ”

The generals shook their heads. They don't know about it, but they know it's a very, very complicated process. Although it is a trivial matter of collecting dozens of catties of grain, it involves many aspects such as national policy, official system, financial endowment, civil affairs, etc., and it may take several hours to explain in detail.

"The lord led the army on an expedition to the desert, and more than 200,000 soldiers made great achievements. But is the victory of the expedition to the desert only the credit of more than 200,000 soldiers? Xun Yu said, "From the imperial court to the state and county governments. From the Son of Heaven and ministers to the people and ordinary farmers, the whole Han Kingdom paid countless hardships and sweat for the victory of the expedition to the desert. ”

"Let's talk about Dong Zhuo, when we were on an expedition to the desert, he needed to supervise the relevant government offices of the imperial court to raise food, grass and ordnance for us, how much did he and the entire imperial court do for the expedition to the desert, do you know? If it weren't for the efforts of Dong Zhuo and the ministers of the DPRK and China, as well as the officials of the prefectures, counties and counties, would the expedition be victorious? Can the desert be conquered by us?

"In good conscience, I don't think the lord has the support of the imperial court. It is impossible to conquer the desert. It is the blood and sweat of the ministers of the DPRK and China, the officials of the prefectures, counties and counties, and the tens of millions of people of the Han Dynasty that have achieved the glory and meritorious deeds of the lord and the soldiers of northern Xinjiang. ”

"Now that the lord is thinking hard about the food and salary of the army, he should be able to deeply understand the hard work and achievements of him and the ministers of the court and the officials of the prefectures, counties and counties when Dong Zhuo was in charge of the government." Xun Yu looked at Li Yi, who felt the same way, and suddenly raised his voice and said, "Then." Compared with the expedition to the desert and the revitalization of the community, which is more difficult. It takes more financial resources, more time, and more concerted efforts of the whole country? ”

"Of course, it's the revitalization of the community." Zhang Fei said.

"With the lord and more than 200,000 soldiers in northern Xinjiang, plus the financial resources of the two prefectures and two protectorates in northern Xinjiang, can they independently support the great cause of revitalizing the community?" Xun Yu then asked.

"Of course not." Li Yi said, "We need the imperial court. More states and counties are needed to support them. Now that our survival is in question, what else is there to talk about revitalizing the community? ”

"Where is the court? How can the forces of the various states and counties be brought together? Xun Yu continued to ask.

Li Yi and the generals Huo Ran woke up. The imperial court was coerced by Dong Zhuo and became the target of everyone's shouting, and the prefectures and counties in various places lost the control of the imperial court and became rootless duckweed. It's been a mess for a long time. Although Yuan Shao commanded the world with the so-called system of inheritance, and Li Yi restrained the power of all parties with checks and balances, they could not hide the fact that Dahanzhou County was in its own way.

At this time, what the Great Han Kingdom needed most was not the Son of Heaven, but the imperial court, a court that could control and integrate the power of various states and counties.

Xun Yu looked at everyone's suddenly realized expressions, smiled slightly, and continued: "What is the role of the imperial court? It is to make full use of the resources of our Great Han Kingdom to integrate national strength. What is national strength? To put it bluntly, it is the money and food of tens of millions of households in the Han Kingdom. The role of the imperial court is to use various methods to gather these money and grain, and then use this money and grain to create more wealth for tens of millions of households in the Han Kingdom, so that tens of millions of households in the Han Kingdom have more and more money and grain. ”

"The ministers of the DPRK and China have clearly seen that the development of the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for the Han society. The Son of Heaven and the imperial court in Chang'an have become outright decorations, not only unable to make the slightest contribution to saving Sheji, but have become accomplices in destroying Sheji. In order to save Sheji, they finally made up their minds to rebuild a court. To this end, they sent seven highly respected Han Zhushi in one go, and they pinned all their hopes for the revitalization of the community on the lord. ”

Xun Yu smiled helplessly: "Actually, whether it is Yuan Kui, Yuan Shao and Han Fu, they are all right, without the imperial court, what is the use of a lonely son of heaven?" In order to quickly restore the stability of the society, it is first necessary to integrate the forces of various states and counties to defeat Dong Zhuo. In order to integrate the forces of various prefectures and counties, it is necessary to form a court in accordance with the official system of the Han Dynasty. Although Yuan Shao had Yuan Valve to rely on, he was humble and light, and at most he could only make himself a chariot general, and he was not qualified to form a court, so he strongly advocated the re-establishment of the imperial system. ”

"I don't know if Yuan Shao, Han Fu and others understood Yuan Kui's intentions, and I don't know if they were secretly selfish, but rebuilding the imperial system, forming the imperial court, and integrating the forces of the prefectures and counties is indeed the fastest, best and most effective way to quickly defeat Dong Zhuo and restore the society. Yuan Kui does have the talent to pass through the heavens and the earth, and he is worthy of being the pillar of the Han Dynasty, if he can personally go to Jizhou to preside over the overall situation, maybe Sheji has recovered in sight. ”

"Yuan Shao and the Dong Alliance for a variety of reasons, including the lord rejected his pleas and turned to the implementation of checks and balances, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army riot and other reasons, he failed to achieve the purpose of rebuilding the imperial system, forming the imperial court, and integrating the forces of the state and county, he and the Dong Alliance fell into a desperate situation, not knowing where to go. Now that the states and counties are in their own countries, Yuan Shao has almost lost control of the Dong Alliance, and he can only use his power to exert some influence over the prefectures and counties. ”

At this time, everyone finally fully understood the revitalization plan carefully planned by the ministers of the Chang'an court to save Sheji.

Yuan Shao was an example of failure, and the resistance to rebuilding the imperial system was too great, not only in northern Xinjiang and most prefectures and counties, but also in the Chang'an court itself. So they finally thought of another flesh and blood of the first emperor, the eldest princess Liu Xi. With the eldest princess acting as the head of state affairs, the most sensitive issue of imperial domination will be solved. Without the trouble of the imperial system, it would have been much easier to form a new imperial court. Because of the eldest princess who represents the imperial power, and the imperial court with a relatively complete official structure of the Han Dynasty, it is possible to pacify and integrate the scattered prefectures and counties, and there is hope for saving and revitalizing the Han community.

Xun Yu said: "Northern Xinjiang should be the biggest force supporting this new imperial court, and the lord will get more power in addition to the existing power." Because at this time, the eldest lord was not fighting alone with the northern frontier, but with the eldest princess and the new court, and with the strength of the entire Han Kingdom. ”

"Although we don't know what the specific strategy brought by Zhang Wen is, we don't know if this new imperial court can integrate the forces of various prefectures and counties, and we don't know when we will be able to realize our desire to revitalize the community, but we now occupy the righteousness, the righteousness that everyone in the world can follow, occupy the opportunity for the continuation of the national ancestor, and occupy as much power as possible, which is enough. It is better to have hope than no hope, and it is better to have a purpose than no purpose. ”

"But all of this requires the loyalty of the lord, the loyalty to the Han community, if there is no loyalty of the lord, this is not a difficult move to revitalize the community, but a move to quickly overturn the community, because Dong Zhuo is an example."

Xun Yu looked at Li Yi and said, "If Dong Zhuo controls the Son of Heaven and the Chang'an Imperial Court, and the lord controls the eldest princess and the new imperial court, Yuan Shao and the prefectures and counties have no hope, what will they do?" As a result, the Han Dynasty was overthrown, so Zhang Wen was just tempting, if the lord refused, he might quickly take the eldest princess to leave the northern Xinjiang to Jizhou, and let the lord bear the same rebellious reputation as Dong Zhuo. ”

In order to prevent the eldest princess, Zhang Wen and others from acting unfavorably to the lord, Mrs. Mu immediately made a third countermeasure, killing. Madame implored the lord to prevent the eldest princess from asking the Son of Heaven for a decree, and her real intention was to tell the lord that if the lord did not agree with Zhang Wen's policy, he would immediately tell Dong Zhuo about Zhang Wen's policy, and seek a holy decree to send the eldest princess back to Chang'an, and at the same time send troops to secretly go north and surround the eldest princess's mansion to avoid the disaster in the north. We do what we have to do. ”

"For the sake of safety, Zhang Wen must have ordered the eldest princess's tiger army to secretly surround the Hussar General's Mansion." Xun Yu shook his head and said, "At the beginning, I persuaded the lord to leave two thousand hussar guards to protect the hussar general's mansion, but the lord insisted on not complying. Zhang Wen is a good person, but for the sake of social interests, good people will also become bad people, and the lord is too gullible to believe him. (To be continued.) )
