Chapter 1937 Dragon Slaying Technique (Part 2)
Chapter 1935: Dragon Slaying Technique (Part 2)
There are only a handful of people who know about Jia Xu’s plan, and Dugu Qiufei is one of them.
However, although Dugu Qiubei knew the outline of the plan, he did not know Jia Xu's purpose of doing so.
Dugu Qiubai hesitated again and again, but still couldn't hold it back and asked, "Sir, I don't understand. It's just Liu Bei, why bother with this?"
Jia Xu smiled mysteriously: "Dugu, if you can understand this, you will be in charge of Heibingtai, not me."
"this…"
Dugu Qiubai was speechless for a moment. Seeing that Jia Xu had no intention of saying anything clearly, he could only suppress his curiosity and stopped asking further questions.
Even if Dugu Qiubai asked again, Jia Xu would not answer, because the impact of what he planned next was no less than the original plan to confer kingship, and naturally it was impossible for anyone other than him to know about it.
“Taking hold of the emperor to command the princes will ultimately lead to gains and losses.” Jia Xu sighed lightly.
The advantages of holding the emperor hostage to control the princes are self-evident, but the disadvantages are also very obvious, that is, when Qin Hao takes over the Han Dynasty, he will definitely be saddled with infamy for: conspiracy to usurp the throne, subjugation of superiors, etc.
It is not right to win the country!
As the saying goes: If you are upright, you are not afraid of a slanted shadow.
This is especially true for countries.
There are only two ways to win the country, either war, fighting head-on to win it down bit by bit, or politics, controlling the court as a minister and eventually usurping the throne.
The former is naturally no problem, while the latter will leave big hidden dangers.
Of all the dynasties in China for five thousand years, the Qin, Han and Ming Dynasties were the most upright, while the Jin and Song Dynasties were the most unjust.
Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty and established the Wei Dynasty, and Sima Yan usurped the Wei Dynasty and established the Jin Dynasty. This gave future generations a very bad start.
Later people followed suit. The Wei, Jin, Sui, Song and other dynasties were all established in this way. However, at the beginning of the founding of the country, hidden dangers were laid for the country's subjugation.
The most fundamental reason why the country was rich but the army was weak in the Song Dynasty, to put it bluntly, is that the brothers Zhao Kuangyin did not win the country correctly.
Zhao Kuangyin relied on the military to become a country, and he was afraid that his subordinates would follow suit, so he tried his best to suppress the status of military generals, so that the soldiers did not know the generals and did not manage the troops, so they would be attacked by the surrounding foreign tribes.
It can be seen that although using a minister to usurp the emperor is a shortcut, the hidden dangers are still too great.
Although Qin Hao conquered the country with his own hands, his identity as a Han official was a label that he could not tear off, and holding the emperor hostage to order the princes amplified this label.
Qin Hao chose to hold the emperor hostage to order the princes because this was the fastest way to unify.
Having the Son of Heaven is equivalent to occupying the great righteousness, and can attack and occupy the territory of other princes at will. The other princes can only be passively beaten, otherwise they will commit the following offenses and will be spurned by the mainstream of the world.
By holding the emperor hostage to control the princes, Qin Hao continued to control the surrounding princes, and in a very short period of time, he became the overlord of the princes.
In response to this, other princes dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything. They could only watch Qin Hao grow stronger step by step.
It wasn’t until the establishment of the Southern Han Dynasty and Liu Che’s proclaimed emperor, with another kind of righteousness as support, that any princes dared to take the initiative to attack Qin.
With the establishment of the Southern Han Dynasty, Liu Che was no longer the only Han emperor. The princes were faced with great challenges in holding the emperor in power, so he could not provide much convenience to Qin Hao, but Qin Hao still had to shoulder the disadvantages.
If this trend continues, even if Qin Hao personally unifies the world, he will still follow the same path as Cao Pi, using his ministers to usurp the king.
Even before the new empire was established, huge hidden dangers had already been laid, which Qin Hao could not accept under any circumstances.
For this reason, Qin Hao also discussed with a group of counselors whether he could win the country by legitimate means instead of being accused of usurping the throne? As a result, due to constraints from various factors, there is currently no method available for implementation. In this regard, how to obtain the country legitimately has become the most important issue that Qin Hao's counselors need to consider, and Jia Xu is naturally no exception.
At first, Jia Xu had no good solution, but this time the imperial party launched a coup, and Liu Xie and Yang Ping, who were difficult to distinguish between true and false, allowed him to see an opportunity to free Qin Hao from the shackles.
At first, all Jia Xu wanted was to completely eliminate the imperial party, but after learning a piece of news from Xu Shu, No. 1, Jia Xu changed his plan after careful consideration.
As one of the most famous counselors in the Three Kingdoms, Xu Shu had already come to the door on his own initiative, so it was naturally impossible for Qin Hao to let him go.
What Qin Hao didn't expect was that before he had time to conquer Xu Shu, Xu Shu had already been recruited by Jia Xute into the Black Ice Platform, and then he even disguised himself as Shan Fu and lurked beside Liu Bei.
Through Xu Shu, Jia Xu learned that the real Liu Xie was no longer in the palace and that the Liu Xie in the palace was a fake, so he came up with a bold idea.
Even Princess Qin can’t tell Liu Xielai, so can she use it...
This plan is too bold. If it is exposed, even Jia Xu will have to fake death to avoid disaster in order to block the world's mouth. But if it succeeds, maybe the Qin army will get rid of the shackles and establish a new dynasty in the most upright way. .
The dangers are completely out of proportion to the rewards.
If it fails, he will bear it alone, but once it succeeds, it will be a great achievement for generations to come!
With this thought, Jia Xuyi made up his mind to seize this opportunity no matter what, even if it meant losing Luoyang.
After all, compared with Jianguo, which has no hidden dangers, what does Luoyang City mean? It wouldn't be a pity even if it was lost.
The Imperial Party fought hard and wanted to seize power through a coup, but from the beginning, Jia Xu did not take the Imperial Party seriously.
Jia Xu's real goal has never been the imperial party, but to take this opportunity to free Qin Hao from the shackles of Han officials, and Liu Bei is the most important **** in this plan.
Why did Jia Xu choose Liu Bei as the most important part of the plan? There are two reasons.
First, Liu Bei is the emperor's uncle recognized by Liu Xie, and his reputation and prestige are high enough to shoulder this important task.
Second, it was because of the prophecy of "Liu, the one who destroyed the Han Dynasty".
With the fall of the Northern Han Dynasty, Liu Che committed suicide, and the word "Liu, the man who lost the Han Dynasty" spread rapidly throughout the world.
Jia Xu uses this as an entry point and uses Liu Bei to implement it, which can make the statement that the Han Dynasty must perish become a reasonable and rational justification for Gengjia.
Since the Han Dynasty must perish, the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty followed the will of heaven and naturally could not usurp the Han Dynasty.
Originally, Jia Xu was prepared to put an end to the situation once and for all. Regardless of whether Liu Bei participated in the coup or not, he would directly deal with Liu Bei.
But after having a new plan, Jia Xu decided to let Liu Bei go. He wanted Liu Bei to live, and live a life worse than death.
In order to implement the plan smoothly, Jia Xu asked Kong Xuan, the most powerful man in the city, to block the door. He asked Xu Shu, who was also a personal friend of Kong Xuan, to rescue Liu Bei. He also used some tricks to let Shen Nong appear in the Liu Mansion by "coincidence"...
All of this is to deceive Liu Bei. In order to survive, Liu Bei will willingly step into the trap carefully prepared by Jia Xu and become the biggest helper to help the Qin army usurp the country in an upright and just way.
"Your Majesty, the next move I will use is the art of slaying a dragon. It will not only kill you, the real dragon emperor, but also the dragon vein of the big man. If you can't take it, the big man will be dead." Jia Xu smiled. Said to himself.
