"How many people changed their opinion of me during the morning court session today?”At this moment, in the imperial palace, Liu Bian stood in the pavilion with his hands behind his back and looked at the pool in front of him. The goldfish swam in the water, but Liu Bian's thoughts had long wandered far away. He was very happy to have completed the mission in the morning court today, especially after obtaining a chance to draw a lottery. Liu Bian did not call for it, he was now in the imperial palace.
Dong Zhuo's men were everywhere, and he didn't know what would happen. He wanted to keep this lucky draw chance and use it at a critical moment. Perhaps it could save his life. What Liu Bian wanted to know the most was how many people had changed their views on him. Perhaps some of these people could help him. He couldn't give up any chance now. The system soon gave him the answer.
"Ding! Today, there are dozens of people who have a slight change in their opinion of the host, seventeen people who have a moderate change in their opinion, and nine people who have a high change in their opinion.”The host gave the calculations. Of course, the names did not appear one by one. After all, there were many people. At this moment, Liu Bian thought for a moment and asked. "Who are the few people who have a high opinion of me?”
What Liu Bian needed now were people who had changed their opinions of him. If he wanted to help him, only they could be trusted. Liu Bian couldn't trust the others, but he hoped that there would be someone among these nine people who could help him. The system immediately sounded. "The people who have a high opinion of the host are Minister Ding Guan, Grand Tutor, Grand Servant Yuan Feng, Yuan Kui brothers, North General Lu Zhi, Flying Cavalry General Huangfu Song, and Commanding Officer Cao Cao.。。”
"Reporting to the emperor, Minister Ding Guan and Yellow Gate Assistant Minister Xun You request an audience!”Names kept flashing by, but Liu Bian didn't expect Cao Cao to be among them. Even those who didn't understand history would know his name. He was a capable minister of peace and a treacherous hero of chaos. Children knew how to do it, but this only showed that they had changed their opinion of him. It did not mean that they supported him. Just like how the Yuan family had evil intentions and could not be reused. Liu Bian could not take this risk now.
"Hmm? Call them in!" Chen Zhong's voice rang in his ears, interrupting Liu Bian's train of thought. He returned to reality and the system's report stopped temporarily. Liu Bian was not angry. He was surprised and ordered Chen Zhong to bring two people in. It was not strange that Manager Ding would come, but he did not expect Xun You to come. Who was Xun You? He was the mastermind of Cao Cao in the future and could be said to be the top strategist of this era. Liu Bian did not expect him to come.
"This subject Ding Guan (Xun You) greets the emperor!”The two of them walked in under Chen Zhong's lead. Liu Bian was still looking at the pool in front of him and did not turn around. Although he needed help now, he still had to maintain the dignity of the emperor. Otherwise, wouldn't today's work be in vain? Liu Bian waved his hand. "Get up! It's not morning court, so there's no need to be so polite!”
"Your Majesty's etiquette cannot be abandoned. Moreover, this lowly subject does not dare to stand up in place of the guilty!”At this moment, Ding Guan said solemnly. This was how the feudal society worked. You clearly thought that it was nothing, but they always thought that it was very serious. It couldn't be helped. Although he had already accepted this reality, Liu Bian was still a modern person. Hearing Manager Ding's words, Liu Bian couldn't help but smile. Fortunately, his back was facing them. Otherwise, Xun You would have seen through him at a glance. "Oh? What crime did Minister Ding commit?"
"Just now... Uh…"
"No, I don't think so. I remembered wrongly, I remembered wrongly! Please forgive me, emperor." Initially, Ding Guan wanted to tell him what had happened during the morning court session, but Xun You quickly pulled him aside. With a look, Ding Guan quickly understood that since the Emperor had said what crime he had committed, it meant that he did not care about his matter. If he said it himself, wouldn't that be putting a crime on himself? Liu Bian was also surprised. A top strategist was indeed not simple.
"Name: Xun You (Gongda) Age: 32. Identity: Assistant Minister of the Yellow Clan, Commander: 54. Strength: 26. Intelligence: 88. Loyalty: 60 (Emperor, are you a wise ruler or is it just my illusion?) Exclusive Skill: Schemer-A flexible and ever-changing tactic and military strategy to defeat the enemy, often having strange plans in battle.”With the Eye of Insight, Xun You's attributes immediately appeared in front of him. 97 points of Intelligence was indeed heaven-defying. This was the true strength of a top strategist.
His intelligence was different from his own, which was 94 points but completely different from the thinking of this era. The tricks he played today were at most some small tricks. If he really wanted to use troops to fight and conquer cities, he needed such people. It should be known that in the Three Kingdoms, Liu Da 'er's three generals, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, were all enemies. However, they were defeated repeatedly. It was only after Mister Shui Jing recommended Xu Shu that they won the long-lost victory.
After that, the Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chicks were all loyal to Liu Bei, and Zhuge Liang had divided the world into three parts. Although the Phoenix Chick Pang Tong had only given Liu Bei a plan all his life, he had helped Liu Bei settle down in Sichuan and Shu. Although both of them were different from the big advertisements at the beginning, they had already explained the importance of strategists. Therefore, in this era, strategists were as important as generals. If Xun You could be used by him, the chances of him leaving Luoyang alive would definitely be greatly increased. Since he wanted to see whether he was a Sage Lord or a mediocre Lord, then he would let him see.
"Lord Ding has worked hard for the Imperial Court, so it's understandable for him to be forgetful.”Liu Bian said after sorting out his thoughts and words. Hearing Liu Bian's words, Ding Guan heaved a sigh of relief. Xun You, on the other hand, was staring at Liu Bian. Liu Bian felt as if Xun You was about to see through him. However, Liu Bian could only act as if nothing had happened. Otherwise, all his efforts would have been for naught. "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Zhen knows that Lord Ding is wholeheartedly devoted to the country! However, luck is not on our side. We should leave behind a useful body so that we can serve the country in the future. Does Lord Ding understand?”After the two of them stood up, Liu Bian spoke. He didn't make it clear before, and he wouldn't make it clear now. However, Liu Bian was worried that these loyal ministers would argue with Dong Zhuo and cause a fatal disaster, so he couldn't help but remind them that although he had transmigrated, they were still human lives.
"This old minister understands, this old minister thanks the emperor for your kindness!”When Ding Guan heard Liu Bian's words, he couldn't help but shed tears. It wasn't just because Liu Bian didn't blame them, but also because they now had a good Emperor. When the former Emperor was still in power, he favored the eunuchs and didn't stop the old officials 'advice, let alone care about their safety.
