The same is true for Emperor Liu Xie. He expressed his high-profile and unconcealed praise for Cao Chun's victory in Youbei. Was he really happy for Cao Chun's victory?

This matter is very complicated.

It was so complicated that Liu Ye was afraid of being intimidated, so he did not dare to get involved easily, so naturally he did not do anything for Kong Rong.

And Liu Ye felt that Kong Rong was not worthy of his doing anything.

On the one hand, Liu Ye and Kong Rong have no friendship, let alone putting their swords on Kong Rong. It would be great if they could not add any damage.

On the other hand, Kong Rong's life and death are determined by himself. He can live and die with just one word.

It's just that there's not much time now...

So Liu Xie was a little anxious.

Sure enough, Liu Xie's voice sounded: "My dear, how did Kong Wen check this?"

Although Liu Xie tried his best to hide his voice, it seemed to say that he was just asking casually, but it still brought some uneasiness and tension.

Liu Xie's uneasiness and tension come from his uncertainty about himself.

He needs strength, but he does not really belong to himself.

In Liu Xie's early immature thinking, he placed the need for this power on the "Son of Destiny" and on the protection of the ancestor's spirits. However, as time went by, Liu Xie discovered that these empty destiny and the cycle of the five virtues were all nonsense.

Liu Xie began to examine himself, and then learned from his father that he wanted to balance in the court, but it was obvious that he failed again, not only did he lose his wife and children, but also left a gap between him and Cao Cao that seemed to heal but actually left a secret wound.

Now, Liu Xie has found his "true" power.

The conservative Han.

Like most vested class interests and monopolize industries, such a force formed by large and small landlords in Yuzhou and Jizhou became the target that Liu Xie wanted to win over.

Moreover, Liu Xie and the current conservatives are very suitable for each other.

Although the conservatives do not have the military power of Cao Cao, they have the power of population, the power of local gentry and officials, and the power of wealth. Although no single local gentry can compare with the Xiahou family of Cao, these people combined together form a political group that even Cao Cao had to deal with carefully.

Even this group is very loose and disorderly.

Now, Liu Xie wants to become the leader of this loose group, the true leader.

From nominal, it becomes in fact.

In this process, of course, Liu Xie needs to show his own strength, so that these loose teams will gather around Liu Xie...

In order to achieve such a goal, Liu Xie made many moves. These moves seemed to be very perfect in him, but in fact, in Liu Ye's eyes, they can only be said to be stronger than before.

It can't be hidden from Liu Ye, of course it can't be hidden from Xun or, and even more so it can't be hidden from Cao Cao.

So what else can Liu Ye do or say?

After Liu Ye still answered a little perfunctorily, Liu Xie was obviously a little angry.

Liu Xie felt that it was the Han Dynasty who gave Liu Ye the identity of a descendant of the royal family, and it was the Han Dynasty who gave Liu Ye the current position and salary. Why did Liu Ye not give him enough loyalty and always look a little close and hesitant?

It is not wrong to have the royal bloodline, and it is not wrong to have the salary of the Han Dynasty, but it does not mean that he has to work hard for the Han Dynasty, and to enjoy the blessings without hesitation.

In fact, this is the same for Liu Xie and many business owners in later generations.

They think that they have given money and employees have received their wages, so employees have to work hard. Is there any other problem? They are the boss of employees and the God of employees. If they don’t pay employees and pay their wages, what will employees eat and drink? Since they are the parents of employees’ food and clothing, what will happen to employees’ work hard?

What are the problems in this?

Those business owners didn't understand it, and Liu Xie, who had lost a thousand years of experience, couldn't understand it.

『…』 After a while of silence, Liu Xie chuckled and pretended to let go of Kong Rong’s affairs. 『So... I won’t talk about the matter of Kong Wenju… Let’s discuss Cao Zihe! Cao Zihe fought in Mobei, defeated the Wuhuan King’s tribe, and obtained countless horses and animals. This is a great victory! I want to celebrate the great victory in the late autumn and reward the merits. I don’t know what my dear thought?』

A great victory celebration?

Liu Ye's heart moved slightly.

The sunset shot in from the lintel of the window, cutting light and darkness into the hall. Although the utensils and objects in Chongde Hall are naturally of high-quality goods, including golden silk screens, red tables and mattresses, for some reason, under such dim colors, not only did Liu Xie's face be hidden, but the surrounding utensils are also somewhat dilapidated.

Liu Ye bowed his head and bowed: "The victory of Mobei will strengthen my great man's reputation. Your Majesty wants to use this celebration, so naturally there is nothing to do...but this celebration consumes a lot of money and food expenses..."

Liu Xie nodded and said, "I am just thinking about this... I don't know what good advice do you have?"

『…』 Liu Ye was silent.

He knew what Liu Xie wanted him to say.

"Love..." Liu Xie's voice sounded in the hall. I wonder if it was because Chongde Hall was relatively empty and deserted at the moment, there seemed to be some vague echo, "But if there is any plan, I might as well say it bluntly..."

Liu Ye sighed slightly in his heart and looked up at the emperor.

Liu Xie also looked at him.

The two of them were about to part with each other.

Liu Ye lowered his head again, as if his neck could not be straightened, his voice was a little low, "If Your Majesty wants to celebrate, and there is a shortage of money and food... I have a stupid plan..."

"Your dear is too humble, it's okay to speak out!" Liu Xie smiled.

Liu Ye lowered his head and said, his voice getting smaller and smaller. "This is a great victory for the country. It is a method of recruitment that can be used to gather the power of everyone to hold a celebration."

『So...』 Liu Xie seemed to nodded, 『This plan is not bad at my dear. But at this time of recruitment, it is inevitable that someone will get the fish and ruin the reputation of the court... Well, what if you don't do this, let me leave it to my dear? I will definitely not be able to get my own pockets... I will be relieved...』
