Chapter 1 The Crown Prince

  "Zhixin Wu, Jizhou Mu Jia Xiang."

  Liu Feng smiled and uttered a name under the gaze of Liu Xie and Empress Fu.

  Zi Jin Wu and Jizhou Mu are the current official positions of Jia Xu, because Jia Xu had the merit of persuading Zhang Yang to surrender, and was appreciated by Cao Cao, becoming the actual power-holding Zi Jin Wu, and also holding the nominal position of Jizhou Mu.

  Zhī Jīn Wú is the official in charge of the Imperial Guards and the defense of the capital, but not the only one. There are also similar but different officials such as Sī Lì Xiào Wèi, Zhōng Lǐng Jūn, and Wèi Jiàng Jūn.

  It's all because ancient emperors weren't used to putting eggs in one basket, that's why this kind of thing happened.

  "Not allowed."

  Almost at the same time, Liu Xie and Fu Huanghou both opposed it. Even Xun Yu's face trembled slightly, revealing a somewhat disbelieving expression.

  Those who stir up trouble under the sky are Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

  At first, Wang Yun and Lü Bu together killed Dong Zhuo, and there was an opportunity to revive the Han dynasty. However, Wang Yun was too strong-minded and ordered the elimination of the old Western Liang faction.

  Jia Xu, in order to save his life, presented a plan and joined forces with the old troops of Xiliang to capture Chang'an and take Emperor Xian of Han hostage.

  Those days were almost the darkest days of the Han Dynasty. Except for Liu Xie and Empress Fu, those few important figures had some self-respect.

  The remaining palace maids and imperial family members who were killed are countless. The ministers and imperial family members who were killed are also countless.

  Liu Xie and Empress Fu thought of that situation, and they felt a chill run down their spines. The person who started all this was Jia Xu.

  Jia Xu and, although a rare talent, is lacking in virtue, how can he be the Junior Tutor to the Crown Prince? Xun Yu also couldn't help but say.

  "Virtue? In today's chaotic world, how many people like Shangshu Ling still think of the Han dynasty? They are all treacherous officials and rebellious sons. What is needed in a chaotic world is not virtue, but power, strategy, and prestige. Now that my Liu family has lost its prestige and power, I can only rely on strategy to make a comeback. Jia Xi has no virtue, but he has strategy. I will learn from him, with great benefits and no harm." Liu Feng smiled slightly coldly.

  What is meant by power refers to authority and status. The Han dynasty was a puppet, and its power was lost early on. Its prestige also disappeared during the reign of Emperor Xiaoling. What remains is only cunning.

  So-called tactics are much broader. Refers to wisdom, wit and decisiveness.

  To put it simply, it is to adapt to changing circumstances, but always grasp the initiative, be one step ahead of others, and gain status and power through skill. This is also Jia Xu's strong point.

  According to historical records, Jia Xian was once held captive by foreigners when he was young. He was extremely clever and claimed to be the nephew of the Taifu in the court, thus saving his life.

  Jia Xu fled and persuaded the old troops of Xiliang to counterattack Chang'an, saving his life.

  Jia Xu, having defected to the lords of Guanzhong, was somewhat feared by Duan Huo. Jia Xu, relying on his own judgment, left his family with Duan Huo and defected to Zhang Yang. Not only did he save his own life, but also preserved his family.

  These are things that have already happened.

  Not yet happened, in history there was Jia Xu who defected to Cao Cao and was extremely tolerant, marrying off his daughter not to a high-ranking family, taking a wife not from a big clan. Later on, he also resorted to cunning and supported Cao Pi from the standpoint of an heir, thus becoming one of the Three Dukes of Wei State.

  This is the trick.

  Historically, Jia Xu can be said to be a living treasure. In military and strategic terms, Jia Xu also had extraordinary wisdom. He persuaded the old Western Liang forces to defeat Lü Bu and Wang Yun. He helped Zhang Yang defeat Cao Cao. During Cao Cao's time, Jia Xu's contributions of wisdom were countless. Such a person was the best strategist in a chaotic world.

  He can help you review and seize opportunities, and he can also contribute strategies. Of course, as a teacher, Jia Xuan is also qualified. Suppose Liu Feng can learn some skills from Jia Xuan.

  So reviving the Han room will also add a few more points of grasp.

  Jia Xu was a man with great reputation in the north, and Liu Xie and Empress Fu were well aware of it. Therefore, after listening to Liu Feng's words, they also gradually realized the benefits of making Jia Xu the Junior Tutor of the Crown Prince.

  Even Xun Yu, a conservative, thought it was reasonable.

  If a Han family wants to rise again, it can't rely on power or prestige, only on cunning. Deception, strategy, and opportunity.

  However, if it were Jia Xu, Liu Feng would have really become that kind of person. He also abandoned the original intention of Xun Yu, and in his heart, there was still that contradictory psychology.

  Loyal to the Han dynasty, yet also believing that the one who can bring peace to the world is none other than Cao Cao.

  With Cao Cao around, the Han dynasty seems to have a bit of vitality. Established on Cao Cao's loyalty. But if the heavy responsibility is handed over to Emperor Xian of Han and this eight-year-old child who is talented but still an inexperienced kid, it doesn't seem very reliable.

  Xun Yu suddenly fell silent, and Liu Feng guessed his concerns. He had previously revealed his ambition in front of Xun Yu, who did not report it to Cao Cao like a petty informant.

  Liu Feng had already considered Xun Yu as one of his own. Now, accepting Jia Xu would certainly make him a key advisor to the Han dynasty. He was like wings, extremely important.

  It's already very important for both sides to have reached a tacit understanding with Xun Yu.

  "Now the Han dynasty is in decline, and there are many who have different intentions. Cao Cao, although he guards the Han dynasty and restores its prestige, also somewhat bullies it, and most of his old ministers do the same. I observe that among the high officials at court, only the Minister of Works still has some respect for the Han dynasty in his heart. Therefore, I respect you, sir."

  Before this, Liu Feng had not discussed the matter with Emperor Xian of Han and Empress Fu. Therefore, when they heard that Liu Feng had openly defected to Xun Yu, both Emperor Xian and Empress Fu were shocked.

  But because he believed in this son, after being surprised, he remained silent again.

  Xun Yu was even more shocked, in the last time, he felt Liu Feng's ambition. But after all, it was just a guess, and now seeing Liu Feng speaking like this.

  It was certain that he had a few points of Han's heart in his mind. He spoke very frankly and sincerely, but with sincerity came persuasion, even coercion.

  If Xun Yu truly had a bit of loyalty to the Han dynasty, then after hearing Liu and Feng's words, he would have been moved by their sincerity. He would have followed orders from then on.

  If Xun Yu was truly loyal to the Han dynasty, then Liu and Feng could do as they pleased in order to coerce him into joining their cause. They forcibly took him aboard a boat and set out on a campaign against Cao.

  Appears to be loyal and sincere, but with an overwhelming self-confidence and a ruthless killing intent.

  Confidence can persuade him and win him over. The sharp killing intent is naturally directed at Cao Cao. There are already plans in the works. After hearing Liu Feng's words, Xun Yu had a judgment in his heart.

  Everything is late.

  Even if he really served as the Crown Prince's Junior Mentor, it would be difficult to discipline this already ambitious man.

  Xun Yu smiled bitterly in his heart.

  There is still a difficult problem in front of Xun Yu, whether to accept Liu Feng's confession and even coercion, or join Liu Feng's camp.

  Still adhering to his previous idea, he believed that Cao Cao was the person who could bring stability to the world. He continued to interact with Cao Cao, hoping to help him pacify the world while preserving the Han dynasty.

  The choice in front of Xun Yu was very difficult to decide.
