Sending away Cai Yan with a grateful face, Liu Xie always felt that he had forgotten something, and Liu Xie attached great importance to this rare talented woman with double talents, and was a special talent with talent for educating people.
As for whether the other princes will be challenged, Liu Xie is not too worried, Cai Yong's reputation among the scholars is not low, in the past, Wang Yun just killed Cai Yong for his own use, and the final result was that when he was in trouble, no one jumped out to speak, and even after his death, the Wang family was wiped out by Li Dao Guo Yan, although some people in the court regretted it, but no one came out to dissuade even a word.
In fact, before the Xiliang Army counterattacked Chang'an, Wang Yun was in power because of Cai Yong's affairs, but there were already some signs of being betrayed by the public, and what happened afterwards also proved this very well.
The princes of Kwantung, as long as their brains are not in the water, let alone persecution, the slightest disrespect will be sprayed to death by Cai Yong's protégés, and they all say that the protégés of the Yuan family are all over the world, but these words are not much worse on Cai Yong.
"Your Majesty, Shang Shu ordered Jia Xu to ask to see you."
Just when Liu Xie was thinking about what he had forgotten, Wei Zhong, who had sent Cai Yan back, reported again.
"Let him in."
Hearing Jia Xu's request to see, Liu Xie did not slack off, this was a strategist recruited by himself at the expense of condescending to his dignity.
Thinking of the agreement between him and Jia Xu that day, Liu Xie couldn't help but be a little funny, although Jia Xu promised to be loyal to him, he didn't ask for any benefits, and even took the initiative to demote himself to other Xiliang generals and ordinary officials, and in the court, he still lowered his sense of existence as much as possible as before. is also a talented person, but Jia Xu and Li Ru are completely two extremes, Li Ru is a person who is never willing to be mediocre even if he dies, but Jia Xu is the opposite, all his talents are centered around the premise of survival.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Liu Xie knew that Jia Xu was probably worried, Liu Xie had the heart to revive the Han family, and he also had enough potential.
And Jia Xu, as a wise man of this era, knows very well that Liu Xie wants to revive the Han dynasty, and the biggest problem is not the princes of all walks of life today, but the family.
In the past two hundred years since the rise of Guangwu Zhongxing, the family has gradually grown to the point where it is enough to affect the rise and fall of the imperial power.
Liu Xie wants to check and balance the family, as a figure loyal to Liu Xie, whether it is Jia Xu or Li Ru and Xu Huang, they must be used, Li Ru not to mention, his identity is actually dead, and he can only hide behind the scenes at the moment, and Liu Xie wants to check and balance the family, and many things cannot be done by himself, so he needs a person who stands in the foreground to help him attract the hatred of the family.
Anyway, Jia Xu is absolutely unwilling to do this kind of thing, this is no longer touching the interests of the family, but touching the fundamental problem of the family, he can and even is willing to help Liu Xie with advice, but he is absolutely unwilling to stand in the front desk to wrestle with the family, just look at Shang Ying, even if he wins in the end, the end will definitely not be good, and even Wang Yun's end is likely to be his end, which is something that Jia Xu will never allow.
Liu Xie couldn't guess Jia Xu's thoughts, probably only thought that he was because of his identity, as for letting Jia Xu preside over these things, even if Jia Xu wanted to, Liu Xie didn't dare to give it to him.
It's not that the ability is not enough, but Jia Xu's personality is not suitable for presiding over this kind of thing at all, which has nothing to do with wisdom and strategy, if you hand over the matter to Jia Xu, it may solve the superficial problem, but it will definitely not achieve the desired effect, this old fox can probably give himself and mud.
Behind the scenes, it's actually quite good, there is such a top wise man who secretly advises for himself, which can be used as a trump card and killer weapon, and what others don't know is called a hole card, and Jia Xu is obviously more suitable for this kind of role.
After thinking about it, Wei Zhong had already brought Jia Xu to the palace.
"Wei Zhong, I'll send a document and a token later, so that he can enter and leave the palace freely."
Looking at Jia Xu, who was dressed in a black robe and wrapped himself tightly in the robe, until he saw Liu Xie, he took off the silk scarf on his head and revealed his true face, Liu Xie couldn't help but smile a little, this Jia Xu, it's a little too careful "Whoa."
Wei Zhong nodded respectfully.
"You go down first, Wuxian ordered, no one is allowed to approach."
After Wei Zhong retreated, Liu Xiecai looked at Jia Xu with a smile and said, "Sir's behavior is too careful. ” "At an extraordinary time, Xu is now embarrassed, and he doesn't dare to trouble His Majesty anymore."
Jia Xu said respectfully.
"I have already said that there is no double punishment for one crime, in fact, if Mr. is willing, I can make public the matter of Mr. before helping me to fight the thief, I believe that when the time comes, no one will criticize Mr. for this matter."
Liu Xie shook his head and smiled.
"People's hearts are unpredictable, so it's better to be careful."
Jia Xu shook his head, indeed, if it is really as Liu Xie said, no one will make it difficult for him because of this matter, but it also means that the fact that Jia Xu is Liu Xie's confidant must be made public, and I am afraid that it will be hated.
"I don't know why Your Majesty is here to recruit ministers this time," Jia Xu bowed.
When Liu Xie heard this, his face became serious, and he looked at Jia Xu seriously and said, "Sir should know that at the beginning of my reign, I said that I would investigate the rule of officials. ” "But it's been hindered" Jia Xu nodded, and he already knew roughly why Liu Xie said this.
"Not bad."
Liu Xie sighed: "In order to deter those officials, I transferred a hundred elites around me to various places to supervise this matter, these people are the elite people I secretly trained to deal with Li Guo's two thieves, if you say that the battle array, each of them is enough to be one as ten, but when it comes to clearing the officials."
Shaking his head, Liu Xie frowned and said: "I know the difficulty of this matter, I am afraid that there is a family behind it, but although these elite soldiers are loyal, they are all martial artists, and if they don't listen to it, those officials are cheating under their noses, and they may not be able to find out." ” In the end, Liu Xie couldn't help but clench his fists, the first thing he did after taking power was strongly resisted by these families, which made Liu Xie very unhappy, but a little helpless, although the tax was reduced, but according to the people sent by Liu Xie, he reduced the tax by half, but in fact, when he arrived at the place, this half became thirty percent, and even one percent or two in some places, these people obviously took his words as a deaf ear.
As for the place where Liu Xie used to get the people to ask for their lives in order to deal with these people, it has also become an ornament.
In addition to Chang'an, the tax has really been reduced by half, and in other counties, the tax is still high, although Liu Xie thought that there would be difficulties, but he never thought that these people would dare to openly cheat him, is this a demonstration to himself t1706231537:
