Chapter 49: The Jade Seal


At the beginning of any force, there will be difficulties of one kind or another, and the so-called difficulty at the beginning of everything is such a truth, and the Sun family is naturally no exception.

Sun Ce has now borrowed troops from Yuan Shu, and has laid some foundations, and now if he wants to show his strength in Jiangdong, he has to get out of Yuan Shu's control, and the official position given to him by Yuan Shu can no longer be used, whether he really wants to be loyal to the imperial court or not, the recognition of the imperial court, this name is very important, and this is also the main purpose of Zhang Hong's entry into Chang'an.

Before that, there was naturally a discussion within the imperial court.

Sun Ce, in the future, it is likely or will definitely be a stumbling block to the unification of the world, but at the moment, whether it is for Liu Xie or the Manchu Dynasty, Sun Ce is still a small shrimp, far less harmful than Yuan Shu, and Liu Xie is currently in addition to planning Shuzhong, the most feared is Er Yuan.

No matter how bad Yuan Shu is, his strength is there, and apart from Sun Ce, Liu Xie can't think of anyone else who can help him contain Yuan Shu.

Liu Xuan can't do it, Wang Lang can't do it, strength, fame, none of them are Yuan Shu's opponents, Hugh looks at how unbearable Yuan Shu's historical evaluation is, but to the point where he is now, idle characters can't contain and divide him at all, and as for other small warlords in Jiangdong, they don't have this ability.

Sun Ce can, but the matter of passing on the jade seal of the country is a lump in Liu Xie's heart after all.

This thing is self-evident to Liu Xie, not only represents the legitimacy of every edict issued by Liu Xie, but also represents that Liu Xie can seal the gods on behalf of the heavens, and it is something that Liu Xiezhi must obtain, but now it was changed to Yuan Shu by Sun Ce.

Among them, did Sun Ce put the imperial court in his eyes and did not mention it, in troubled times, it is nonsense to ask the princes to tell the emperor that they are loyal, and in the future, Yuan Shu may be full of confidence and become the emperor on his own, and the blow to the Han family is by no means a half-star.

Even if Liu Xie could extinguish Yuan Shu immediately, the blow to the Han family would be difficult to make up.

The next morning, Zhang Hong met with Sun Ce on behalf of Sun Ce and presented Sun Ce's official seal, which was the official seal given by Yuan Shu to Sun Ce, and now handed over to Liu Xie, which can be regarded as an expression of sincerity and willingness to be dispatched by the imperial court to break away from Yuan Shu.

"Let's be flat."

Sitting on the dragon chair, looking at Zhang Hong, who looked solemn, Liu Xie stretched out his hand to help, and did not look at the official seal presented by Wei Zhong, but looked at Zhang Hong seriously: "General Sun Wentai, I am actually very admired, when the tiger prison was closed, the princes of the Eighteenth Road stopped, and only he took the lead in attacking Luoyang, although he failed to save me, save the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, but in my heart, I am still very grateful to Sun Wentai for his loyalty." ” Listening to Liu Xie's praise of Sun Jian, Zhang Hong couldn't be happy, he knew that what Liu Xie said was basically a cliché, and the next content might not be too good.

"But I don't think this is what a loyal and brave man should do."

Liu Xie looked at Zhang Hong, did not make more temptations, but directly affirmed the characterization of the matter, this jade seal was taken by the Sun family, and I have already determined it.

Zhang Hong looked at Liu Xie in amazement, opened his mouth, he had prepared a night's words last night, but at this moment, in the face of Liu Xie's determined attitude, he couldn't say a word.

After a long time, Zhang Hongcai spoke: "Your Majesty may have misunderstood, but there is no such thing."

"True evidence" Liu Xie said with a smile: "Not long ago, General Zhu Jun found the grave of a palace maid near the Luoyang Palace, coincidentally it was the palace maid who took care of the jade seal, after the Luoyang chaos, there was no trace, and the person who set up a tomb for her was General Sun Wentai, that is to say, the last person to see her was Sun Wentai, if it was a coincidence, this was too coincidental." ” Zhang Hong's heart sank, and no matter how much he said, he couldn't say it at the moment.

"Sun Ce wants an official, I can give it, but the jade seal must be brought to me, otherwise, Sun Ce has this thing privately, what is his intention" Liu Xie looked at Zhang Hong's gaze, and gradually became cold.

When Zhang Hong heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, General Sun Wentai did get the jade seal at the beginning, and I wanted to return it to the court after His Majesty returned to the government, but I didn't want this matter to be known by Yuan Shu, and later it was coerced by the Sun family, so I had to hand over the jade seal. ” "I see."

When Liu Xie heard this, he suddenly realized what the facts looked like, it didn't matter anymore, Sun Ce was far away in Jiangdong, he couldn't really take Sun Ce well, no matter what loopholes Zhang Hong's words were, he just needed a step down for both sides, this reason is also reasonable, not only cleared up the relationship between the Sun family, but also quietly slapped Liu Xie on the back, not to say whether it was useless or not, but the things on the face were in the past.

"Since Sun Ce has this intention, then I will help him correct the position of captain of the school, Wei Zhong."

"Oh" Wei Zhong returned the official seal presented by Zhang Hong to Zhang Hong again.

"This" Zhang Hong looked at Liu Xie in amazement.

"Now this position of captain is the one of Sun Ce, and it has nothing to do with Yuan Shu, you go back and tell Sun Ce, no matter what, the jade seal is lost from the hands of the Sun family, this responsibility, the Sun family must bear it, snatch back the jade seal for me, recapture the jade seal for me, I will allow him to take the position of general of the south, if not, I will find another capable person to regain the jade seal, but the position of general of the south is not related to him."

Liu Xie looked at Zhang Hong and said indifferently.

When Zhang Hong heard this, he felt bitter in his heart, but he had to nod, at least one thing, this is the position of captain, Yuan Shu can't be dismissed as casually as before, as for the position of general of Zhengnan, it can only look at the future, at least with Sun Ce's current strength, it is impossible to compete with Yuan Shu, no matter how powerful Sun Ce is, if he wins Yuan Shu's ten battles, Yuan Shu may not be able to break his muscles and bones, but even if Sun Ce only loses, it will be fatal to the Jiangdong forces that are now newly established.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, General Sun."

Zhang Hong took the official seal handed to him by Wei Zhong and bowed.

Liu Xie motioned for him to step back and looked at the group of civil and martial arts: "The jade seal of the country is the important weapon of the country, and now it has fallen into the hands of Yuan Shu, I want to get back the jade seal of the country, what is the good plan for the princes?"

Now because Guanzhong is stabilized by Liu Xie, Yuan Shu still occupies Nanyang, Runan and Yuzhou A lot of territory and Yangzhou, although there is no complete state and county, but if you talk about strength, it is more above today's Yuan Shao, the well-deserved first prince in the world, there are eight million people under his rule, which is nearly three times as much as the current imperial court.

"Your Majesty."

Yang Biao came out of the ranks, bowed down and said: "That Yuan Highway is the fourth and third dukes, when you know the righteousness, the minister thinks that you can send a person to pass the edict, and order that Yuan Shu to return the jade seal to the court. ” It can also be understood as the first salute and then the soldiers, if Yuan Shu does not obey the edict, then the court can call on the princes of the world to attack Yuan Shu, and when the time comes, no matter how many soldiers and horses under Yuan Shu's command, they will not be able to stop the princes of the world from attacking in groups.

Liu Xie nodded, looked at the ministers and said, "I don't know which minister is willing to go on this trip and share my worries."

Under the hall, Taiwei Ma Riyan came out of the ranks, bowed down and said: "The old minister had an old relationship with that Yuan Kui back then, and he is willing to go to Shouchun on behalf of His Majesty to persuade Yuan Shu to hand over the jade seal and return it to the imperial court." ” Ma Riyan, who was the son of the great Confucian Ma Rong clan in the past, is also a scholar of the scriptures, quite famous in Shilin, not under Yang Biao, but he was obsessed with academics before, after Liu Xie took power, he had no intention of participating in interest disputes, and rarely spoke, but this time it was to avoid disputes between the court and Yuan Shu, and took the initiative to ask for orders to lobby Yuan Shu.

"If Captain Ma goes, I can rest assured, so I will bother Captain Ma to take a trip to Shouchun."

Liu Xie nodded, now is indeed not the time to start a war with Yuan Shu, Ma Riyan is famous, even if Yuan Shu is unwilling to hand over the jade seal, he will not easily embarrass Ma Riyan.

It was decided that Ma Riyan would go to Shouchun to say that Liu Xie had discussed the development plan of Guanzhong for the coming year with the ministers before announcing his retirement from the dynasty.

"Wen Xiangong, today's matter, thank you Wen Xiangong for your help."

Zhang Hong followed Yang Biao out of Weiyang Palace, bowed down and smiled.

Although it is not satisfactory, the purpose of his coming here is to gain the approval of the imperial court, so that Sun Ce no longer has to be controlled by Yuan Shu in the general righteousness, and now the purpose has been achieved, as for the matter of the jade seal, the rest is the confrontation between the court and Yuan Shu, and the Sun family does not have the strength to offend any party now.

Yang Biao glanced at Zhang Hong coldly, shook his head and sighed: "Zigang, after retreating from the dynasty, pack up and go back to Jiangdong, you can't stay in Chang'an City for a long time." ” Zhang Hong was slightly stunned, looking at Yang Biao's face, he also knew that he had deceived the jade seal before, and now he threw the responsibility of the jade seal to the Yuan family, which angered the prince of the dynasty.

The world only knows that the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, but they don't know that the family affairs of the Yang family are not much worse than the Yuan family, and the Yang family is also the fourth and third dukes, and the two major families have always had the good of in-laws, Yang Biao's current wife, but officially Yuan Shu's sister, now Zhang Hong in order to clear the relationship between the Sun family and the jade seal, decisively threw this hot hand to Yuan Shu, which obviously caused Yang Biao's dissatisfaction.

"Wen Xiangong forgives the sin, but the situation at that time, this jade seal is indeed in the hands of the highway now, and it is not" Zhang Hong considered his words, hoping that Yang Biao would accept his apology.

"Hmph" Yang Biao snorted coldly and brushed his sleeves away.

Looking at Yang Biao's back, Zhang Hong had to smile bitterly, after today, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the two sides to talk about any friendship, but that Yuan Shu is really not a good master, this time the court sent Ma Riyan to Shouchun, I am afraid that it will be in vain. opened his mouth, in the end, zhang hong did not speak, the court and yuan shu competed, but for the sun family, it was a good thing, anyway, no matter what he said now, yang biao could not be grateful for this kindness, why bother t1706231537:
