The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms - Vol 10 Chapter 340
Compared to Chen Zhi’s serious expression, Xun Zhen’s expression was much more relaxed.
He smiled and asked Chen Zhi back, “Why did Madam ask me that?”
Chen Zhi said: “Because of the rumors of a cheap concubine, it is said that your husband is behind this.”
Xun Zhen said: “Madam, if I say that there is no instruction from me behind this, it is the intention of Zhicai and others, can Madam believe it?”
Chen Zhi thought for a while, then shook her head slowly, and said, “The cheap concubine doesn’t believe it.”
For such important matters, without Xun Zhen’s consent, Xi Zhicai and the others would not be able to write to the court in private.
Xun Zhen smiled and said, “Since Madam doesn’t believe me, why do you have to ask me again?” He readily admitted, “Yes, I do have my meaning behind this. There is a long article, and we negotiated it together!”
Chen Zhi said in a serious tone: “My husband, why do you want to petition the court to remove the Grand Commander Yang Gong? The Grand Commander Yang Gong, his family’s fourth and third sons. The admiration of scholars in the prefectures and prefectures, and when Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si, etc. disrupted the imperial court successively, the Grand Commander Yang Gong was also loyal and blunt, and he was not afraid. All the sages of the court and the public pay tribute to you, but your husband, under the circumstance that Taiwei Yang Gong has nothing to do with him, made Xi Zhong wait for a letter to the court to dismiss Yang Gong Taiwei. Husband, are you not afraid that you will suffer from this? Did it provoke criticism from the court and the opposition?”
A short conflict broke out between Wu Wei and Tang Er because of a move. Xun Zhen turned her face to look, then turned her eyes back, asked Chen Zhi with a smile, and said, “What’s the criticism?”
Chen Zhi said worriedly: “Husband, are you pretending to be confused? Although I’m in a boudoir, I rarely go out, but I’ve heard of it. Now the ministers in the court, the scholars in the prefectures and counties, there are many. People are talking about their husband in private, saying that he is the king of today’s world, and Dong Zhuo, who has reappeared, all suspect that his husband seems to have a heart of disobedience. Husband, there are already so many people who are suspicious of her husband, but at this time, her husband still wants to Asking the imperial court to dismiss the Grand Commander Yang Gong, isn’t this confirming their suspicions, and will it be detrimental to your husband’s reputation?”
Xun Zhen calmly asked, “Since Madam mentioned this point, I would like to ask Madam a question. They say I am Wang Mang, and they say I am Dong Zhuo. Madam, do you think I am Wang Mang, and I am Dong Zhuo?”
Chen Zhi was really hard to answer this question.
If Xun Zhen is Dong Zhuo or Wang Mang, his usual care and love for the people shows that he is a man who worries about the world; if he is not Dong Zhuo or Wang Mang, especially in After welcoming Liu Xie and the court to Xu County, Xun Zhen’s actions became more and more similar. If nothing else, it refers to Xunzhen entering the palace before, and after seeing Liu Xie, he said something to Liu Xie in a threatening manner. Chen Zhi also heard about it later, at least. It is enough to show that Xun Zhen now lacks enough respect for Liu Xie, or in other words, lacks the reverence for the emperor that his subjects should have.
Seeing that Chen Zhi hesitated to answer, Xun Zhen sighed and said, “Madam, you and I have been married for ten or twenty years, but it turns out that even Madam is misunderstanding me?” Chen Zhi asked, “What do you mean by this, husband?”
Xun Zhen said sullenly, “Madam, is this Wang Mang and this Dong Zhuo what I want to be? I would never do such a thing! For example, Wang Mang, who has only been a so-called emperor for a few years, has usurped the world. He was overthrown by Emperor Guangwu, Emperor Shizu, and re-established the Han Dynasty; and Dong Zhuo, he is even worse than Wang Mang. These two people, how can I, Xun Zhen, do it? Madam, I don’t even bother to do it!”
Chen Zhi said: “So, if your husband despise Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo, but you are loyal to the court, then why don’t you care about your own reputation? Husband, if you really ask the court to dismiss the captain Yang Biao , then what is the criticism of the scholars all over the world!”
Xun Zhen held her hands behind her back and paced in front of Chen Zhi.
The place where he played chess with Wu Concubine, Tang Er, Chi Mai and others was in the study room. There was a couplet on the wall of the study room. And happy”.
Xun Zhenxing went to the couplet, looked up, turned around, faced Chen Zhi again, raised his hand to point to the couplet, and said to Chen Zhi, “Madam, worry about the world’s worries first, and enjoy the world’s happiness later, This couplet, madam, is my sincere words!”
Chen Zhi did not doubt Xun Zhen’s words.
Xun Zhen’s usual performance fell into Chen Zhi’s eyes. She really believed that the worries of the world came before the worries of the world, and the happiness of the world came after. This is indeed what Xun Zhen said from the bottom of his heart and what Xun Zhen really wanted to do.
Therefore, she said to Xun Zhen: “My husband said that this couplet is from the heart of my husband, and the concubine of course believed it. Yes, if your husband really wants to realize the lofty ambition of worrying about the world before the world, and making the world happy and happy, then why don’t you ask the grand captain Yang Gong to help you? If you can get Yang Gong’s Help, husband, can’t your wish be realized more easily?”
Xun Zhen sighed and said, “Madam, of course I hope Duke Yang can help me. But just like what you just said, Madam, these ministers and scholars in today’s society are sitting on the well and watching the sky, and people who don’t understand me. There are too many, they slandered me as the king Mang of the world, slandered me as the reappearance of Dong Zhuozhi, and even Madam you…” Xun Zhen looked at Chen Zhi, stroked her short mustache, and said with a slight smile, “I was in Tan County before. At that time, didn’t I ask me face to face, do I want to be Dong Zhuo in this world? Madam, Duke Yang, he is one of the people who doubts me. I want to ask him to help me, but he doesn’t want to help me, so I can any idea?”
Chen Zhi said, “Even if he doesn’t want to help your husband, it seems that your husband doesn’t need to impeach or dismiss him for this!”
Xun Zhen said: “Madam, if he just refuses to help me, that’s fine, the problem is that he is still obstructing me everywhere! Madam, you and I, husband and wife, I have nothing to hide from you, just tell the truth and tell me bluntly. You, the reason why I want to remove Yang Biao now is so that he can no longer obstruct my governance, so that my wish can be better realized.”
“How did Duke Yang obstruct your husband’s governance?”
Xun Zhen said: “Madam, if I don’t say anything else, just take the two matters that I had previously made to the court, asking the court to set up farms in Xu County, and asking the court to set the new capital in Xu County, Yang Biao was against all of them. Are you obstructing it vigorously? The two things that are in Xu County and Dingdu are being promised. Anyone can see the benefits to the common people and the court, but can’t Yang Biao see it? No, he can get it too. Come out. He can see it, but he still strongly opposes it! What is he doing? Madam, what he is doing is not the people, not the court, not what he calls ‘the court’s righteousness’, what he is doing is just to guard against me! Just because He suspects that I am Wang Mang and I am Dong Zhuo! Madam, these two things are indeed beneficial to me, but they are even more beneficial to the people and the court!”
Having said this, Xun Zhen sighed again and said, “Ma’am, there are too many people in this world under the banner of good, but what they do is not necessarily good! On the contrary, it is bad! ”
Chen Zhi could understand Xun Zhen’s starting point for Xun Zhen’s desire to set up the new capital in Xu County and to settle fields in Xu County, and she actually agreed with Xun Zhen’s two policies. Xun Zhen said this, but there was no way to refute it.
Chen Zhi hesitated, looked directly at Xun Zhen, asked her last question, and said, “Husband, after hearing what you said, the concubine can already understand why you want to dismiss Duke Yang. In order to prevent Yang Gong from hindering your husband from realizing your grand ambitions, but husband, the humble concubine wants to ask you one more question, please speak bluntly, and tell the humble concubine the truth, whether the mansion has the heart of being Dong Zhuo or Wang Mang. ?”
Xun Zhen smiled casually and said: “As for Madam’s question, I already answered Madam once when I was in Tanxian County, and Madam asked again today. Did I tell you? Who are Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo? They are not in my eyes at all. As for the doubts some courtiers and scholars have about me, Madam, I will tell you what I have in my heart, not to mention Wang Mang , Dong Zhuo, the true emperor, the emperor of this life, how can he be in my Xun Zhen’s eyes?”
After hearing this, Chen Zhi was shocked by Xun Zhen’s words and attitude~www.mtlnovel.com~, but she didn’t quite understand the meaning of Xun Zhen’s words. What did Xun Zhen mean? What is the king of the world?
From a personal point of view, being an emperor is indeed only one life. After a person dies, he is an emperor, and in the end, he can only turn into a pile of dead bones in a tomb. However, the so-called “family world”, after becoming an emperor, But it can be passed down to sons, grandsons, and passed down, so why did Qin Shihuang call himself the first emperor? Don’t you just want his Jiangshan II and III to be passed down to thousands of generations? Although the second generation of Qin Dynasty perished, but one person proclaimed the emperor, but it can indeed be extended to his descendants.
Therefore, Chen Zhi didn’t quite understand the meaning of Xun Zhen’s words, she frowned, thought and thought, but still puzzled, she asked Xun Zhen, and said, “What do you mean by this, husband? The concubine is stupid and can’t understand. ”
Chen Zhi couldn’t understand it, but Xun Zhen couldn’t explain it to her either.
Due to the limitations of the times, even if Chen Zhi was further explained, it is expected that Chen Zhi still could not understand why Xun Zhen had this idea, and where this idea came from.
Xun Zhenyin didn’t say anything more about this, just stroked the short mustache and said with a smile: “Madam, my wish is not to be the emperor for one lifetime, my wish is nothing more than to bring peace to the troubled world and restore the people’s prosperity. After that, just be a little teacher.”
