"Northern Xinjiang has just experienced the battle of the expedition to the desert, and the army has not yet given enough respite, and the imperial court has cut off the food and salary of the army because of repeated wars, and there is a crisis within the army. The population of northern Xinjiang has exceeded the capacity of northern Xinjiang, and the tuntian fields in various places have not yielded results, while the displaced people from various prefectures and counties are still moving north, and there is a financial and food crisis in northern Xinjiang. ”

And at this juncture, the eldest princess arrived in Northern Xinjiang, and the Son of Heaven modified the law to give her the power over Northern Xinjiang, and at this time, Dong Zhuo broke the checks and balances, resulting in a more serious power crisis in Northern Xinjiang. The survival of northern Xinjiang is all in the mind of the lord. ”

"The power crisis in northern Xinjiang was planted since the time of the first emperor, and today, it has finally taken shape. Zhang Wen's words made Mrs. Mu tremble and did not dare to speak out, because no one could afford the consequences of this crisis. The ministers of the court unanimously recommended Zhang Wen and other seven old ministers to go to northern Xinjiang, and they thought about all aspects of the situation, and it can be said that there is almost no omission. ”

"Why hasn't Zhang Wen asked the eldest princess to tell the king of the world to ask for Dong? Zhang Wen obviously knew the current situation in northern Xinjiang, and he himself personally commanded the counterinsurgency war in western Xinjiang, but why did he still propose a two-way battle and attack Chang'an and Luoyang at the same time? Why did Zhang Wen discuss this matter with Mrs. Mu in private, but did not convene the two governments to discuss it and publicly propose this policy? ”

Xun Yu looked at Li Yi and arched his hand and said, "Lord, Zhang Wen is asking you, are you loyal to the Han?" Or stay true to yourself? ”

Li Yi's expression was solemn, and he said without hesitation: "I am loyal to Dahan, this is my home." ”

When Xun Yu, Xun You and Guo Jia heard this, their faces showed joy; Xu Maogong was worried, looked down at his big hand, and was silent; Liu Bowen stared at the gushing Zhu Mu, thoughtful; However, Xu Shu and the generals, who had newly joined the northern Xinjiang, were very indignant at the behavior of Zhang Wen and others.

Looking at the expressions of the people under the tent. Li Yi sighed in his heart. Even if there is a big killer weapon such as a summoning system, it can't reverse the three views of people like Xun Yu, Xun You and Guo Jia who have been educated in Confucian culture for a long time.

Especially Xun Yu, the loyalty to the Han family shown in his words could not be more obvious, and it is no wonder that in another time and space, he will eventually break with Cao Cao because of this. Although he is related to him, Li Yi knows that if he hesitates to answer before, I am afraid that his impression of himself will be greatly reduced. Even if you can't say that you are detached from morality, I'm afraid you won't be as confident as you are now.

Xun You and Guo Jia, on the other hand, were a little more tactful, although their loyalty to the Han family was rooted in their hearts. But their personalities are not as straightforward as Xun Yu's. This kind of person is easier to deal with, and it is possible to reverse their attitude as long as they see the real powerful relationship.

It is the generals and the talents they have summoned through the super system that are truly and absolutely loyal to themselves. Like Xu Maogong and Liu Bowen, although they did not refute Xun Yu, Li Yi had no doubt about their true thoughts in their hearts. Li Yi believes that if he really goes against the Han family, they will not hesitate to follow him. After all. Everything about them exists because of themselves.

And Xu Shu, a strategist from a local background, behaved differently from Xun Yu and them, thinking that this was related to Xu Shu's own experience. He was born as a commoner and had always considered himself a martial artist. It's only in the past two years that I changed careers, but in fact, I still have the thinking of a military general in my bones.

Li Yi's thoughts in his heart were restored, and other people's hearts were not idle.

Xun Yu analyzed the before and after of this sudden power crisis very thoroughly, although some of the words were exaggerated. However, because everyone looks at the problem from a different angle, it is understandable that there are differences in understanding.

However, Liu Bowen did not pay attention to this. It is Xun Yu's real intention when he said this. Xun Yu was obviously in favor of ceding part of the decision-making and administrative power of military strategy to the eldest princess. Moreover, Xun You and Guo Jia seem to have the same idea as them.

In addition, Liu Bowen also noticed that Mu Guiying did not put forward any countermeasures in that letter, but only urged the lord to return to northern Xinjiang, which was contrary to Mu Guiying's consistent style.

Mu Guiying is the wife of the lord, but she is also a woman, although the lord temporarily entrusted her to be in charge of the Hussar General's Mansion, but I am afraid that she is also out of the idea that the woman does not interfere in politics, and it is not good to show her attitude on this matter. Therefore, there was a proposal to ask the lord to return to Quanzhou as soon as possible and preside over the general's mansion.

Xun Yu, Xun You and Guo Jia are all strategists relied on by the lord, and the importance of the three to the north and to the lord is self-evident. If these three people all advocate the conceding power of the lord, is it understandable that they all agree that the eldest princess has control over military decision-making power and administrative power?

Xun Yu has made it very clear that no matter from which point of view, the lord has no basis for controlling military decision-making power and administrative power. On the contrary, the eldest princess has, if she insists on taking away this power, the lord can only break with the eldest princess. The consequences of breaking with the eldest princess, Xun Yu also explained it very clearly.

Speaking of which, it is all the bane planted by the first emperor, if the eldest princess does not go to the northern Xinjiang, where will these things come from?

"Wen Ruo, once the military decision-making power and administrative power are given to the eldest princess, it will be a disaster for the Northern Xinjiang army." Liu Bowen asked tentatively, "Can't you see it?" ”

Xun Yu heard Li Yi's firm and unquestionable answer, and already knew the answer in his heart, and the haze buried in his heart was suddenly swept away, and his expression was extremely happy and relaxed.

"Brother Bowen, you think so because you don't know much about national politics, and you despise Zhang Wen and Ding Gong too much. They can serve as the three dukes and assist the Son of Heaven in handling state affairs, how can their minds be so simple as forcibly seizing power and overthrowing northern Xinjiang? Xun Yu said with a smile, "If the lord breaks with the eldest princess because of this matter, what is the benefit to the Son of Heaven, to the eldest princess, to Northern Xinjiang, and to the entire community?" Could it be that a few old ministers came to northern Xinjiang to assist the eldest princess in overthrowing the Han Sheji? ”

Zhang Fei, Chang Yuchun and other generals looked at Xun Yu suspiciously.

"My lord, and all of you, you can take a look at Mrs. Mu's letter again, and then take a closer look, why did Mrs. Mu repeatedly mention the impact of the eldest princess's prominent status on Northern Xinjiang in the letter? Why is it repeatedly mentioned that if the eldest princess forcibly seeks the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, the consequences of a public break with the lord? Why did he repeatedly mention that Zhang Wen only discussed with him alone about such important matters related to the life and death of northern Xinjiang? ”

Xun Yu picked up Mu Guiying's letter, pointed to the words on it and said, "Mrs. Mu's words, I don't know if you can understand it. Mrs. Mu said that King Qin is only a means, and stabilizing the community is the goal. Stabilizing society is the ultimate goal of the first emperor, and it is also the goal we are working towards today. Let me ask you, Queen Qin, can the society be stable? The answer is self-evident and cannot be stable. According to the current situation, even if we can defeat Dong Zhuo and save the Son of Heaven within a few years, it is impossible for the Han to return to the stable situation before the Yellow Turban Army riot in five or ten years. ”

"Mrs. Mu's words, the lord and you may have swept them away without attracting the slightest attention from you, but it is this sentence that is the main purpose of this letter." Xun Yu looked at the embarrassed crowd and continued, "We often pay attention to the means, fall into the confusion of fighting for the means, but forget our true purpose. ”

"Let's talk about stabilizing the society now, let's forget about King Qin for a while." Xun Yu smiled and said, "How can we stabilize the society?" Mrs. Mu gave the lord three countermeasures. ”

"First of all, I want to honor the eldest princess. Since the eldest princess arrived in Northern Xinjiang, Northern Xinjiang has indeed undergone a lot of changes. For example, in the past, we always complained that the government did not have enough subordinates, resulting in the incompatibility of the upper and lower government decrees, and the results were very small, but now the situation is gradually improving with the arrival of the eldest princess. In the past, when there were wars in various places, many Confucian scholars would choose to go south to Jing and Yang, but now some people are beginning to choose northern Xinjiang as a place to avoid disasters. This is not only because the northern Xinjiang has been pacified and peaceful because of the lord, but also because of the influence of the eldest princess. ”

Another example is the gate valve tycoons in northern Xinjiang, due to the plea and persuasion of the eldest princess, the gate valve tycoons are more willing to accept and cooperate with the many decrees issued by the northern Xinjiang governments than in the past, which makes the stability of northern Xinjiang more guaranteed. There is also the matter of buying grain in Jizhou this time, and the four old ministers came forward at the same time, and the result can be imagined. In other words, the eldest princess can help Northern Xinjiang, and we must respect the eldest princess and give full play to these advantages of the eldest princess. This will be beneficial to both the stability of northern Xinjiang and the revitalization of social security. ”

"If you want to give full play to the advantages of the eldest princess, the lord can't break with the eldest princess. This is Mrs. Mu's second response. If you don't break with the eldest princess, does the lord have to give up power? No. ”

"The conceding power of the lord and the princess, that is, the seizure of power by the eldest princess, will inevitably lead to a break between the two sides. Therefore, in order to stabilize the society as soon as possible, it is necessary to integrate the two forces of the eldest princess and the lord, and this is the real reason why the ministers of the court sent Zhang Wen and other seven old ministers to northern Xinjiang. ”

"If the power of the eldest princess and the lord is fully integrated, the power of the lord will be greater, and the power of the eldest princess will be more prominent. It is precisely because the eldest princess and the lord have benefited greatly from this integration that the two sides can cooperate sincerely and work together, and the Han can see the hope of ZTE. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and couldn't help but admire and be frightened by Zhang Wen, the old ministers who had been playing with power for a long time. In the eyes of these people, the crisis of power in northern Xinjiang is not a crisis, but an opportunity to consolidate forces and revitalize the community as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
