Of course, this plan is not absolutely perfect. If Liu Xie is astonishing, he is very likely to come to Taishan even if it is arbitrary. Unfortunately, Liu Xie is smart, but he is not courageous enough. If he is courageous and smart, Chen Xi would not mind Liu Xie ruling the Han Dynasty.
It is possible for the courageous and intelligent Liu Xie came to Taishan to subdue Liu Bei who is still not very ambitious. Of course, if Liu Bei has laid down a few states, it is unlikely that Liu Bei will give in. As it is right now, apart from the Yuan family and Dong Zhuo, very few people in the aristocratic family have sincerely opposed the Han family.
The anti-Han thoughts of the three forces of Cao, Liu, and Sun are not too heavy. Of course, Sun Ce have some arrogant words that can be ignored because of his youthful spirit. Generally speaking, these three forces gradually became ambitious with the expansion of their territory. The imperial power decline will also deteriorate the loyalty in this era. After all, they will remains loyal, if the benefits are large enough. When the benefits are not large enough, loyalty will deteriorate.
For Chen Xi, it makes no big difference whether Liu Bei reaches the top or not. What he wants is the spirit that will allow the Han Dynasty to dominate the world. The courage that stands alone and defeat everyone. The kind of style where the Han Dynasty majestic prestige overwhelms the four directions!
So it doesn't matter who the emperor is. Even if Cao Cao becomes the emperor, it has little influence on Chen Xi. As long as the style you lead can let the Han people go out of the country with their heads help up high and let others look up with envy. As long as you can let the Han people go to other country, kill the opposing king in the presence of its courtiers, and the opposite party has nothing to say about it but can only send you back. As long as you can do this, Chen Xi definitely doesn't mind you taking the position of emperor, because that is his goal!
Worldly beauties did not account for much in Chen Xi's thinking, because his goal is too far-reaching. When he was alive in his last life, he could only look back at the past. They have stood at the pinnacle of history for more than 4,000 years and maybe even 5,000 years. But now, they are looking up at others.
They say that modern people are far superior to the ancients, but didn't the ancients to stand at the top of the world. Today, people can only recall the past on the mountainside. What is beyond? Chen Xi smiled bitterly every time he thought of this.
Right now, he had the opportunity by living in this era. Chen Xi was ruthless because of this. Before, he had no chance to create history. Then in this era, he must break the entire history and change it to another direction.
Nomadic civilization is equivalent to a bandit civilization, basically equivalent to scum.
Chen Xi is already thinking of ways to crush the nomadic civilization from its roots. As for the problems of farming civilization itself, Chen Xi can only move toward the contention of a hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Warring States Period. It is said that only that era can sustain an unfailing civilization for thousands of years creating a profound cultural heritage.
However, referring to the dangers of that era, Chen Xi directly wanted to suppress this idea. But, after Chen Xi referred to various situations, he determined that it was impossible to solve this problem with his IQ.
When there is no perfect solution just choose the best solution, no matter if it is dangerous or not. If, in the history of China, they are able to break through the hundred schools of thought, god knows how many years it will take for other civilizations to catch up. If you play it well, you will be famous forever.
It is misfortune for future generations if something goes wrong. Once it is done, you may be able to be memorialize like a prime minister through out the ages. After thinking about it, Chen Xi thinks it's better to do it. Anyway, in Chen Xi's opinion, it can't be worse than later history. Trying to fight for lofty dreams and thinking about the possibility of creating a prosperous civilization, Chen Xi feels that his soul is trembling. His thinking speed has soared, and he is naturally more motivated when he has an ideal!
Anyway, Chen Xi has already figured it out. Rather than suffer another loss in the future, it is better to try to extinguish those guys. After all, he has some research on those things. At most, he would have lost the opportunity to obtain other civilization heritage. In this regard, Chen Xi is not too worried.
These things have been buried deep in his heart. What domination of the Central Plains? What beauty? They are not that attractive to Chen Xi. Maybe there are beautiful women who can tempt Chen Xi's heart, but there is no possibility that Chen Xi's heart can be moved.
When he calmly accepted the marriage with Fan Jian, Chen Xi found that he seemed to have lost many things. When he calmly accepted Chen Lan's love, Chen Xi noticed that his temperament had become more indifferent. It was not because of his indifference but because he is disheartened that he just want to find one or two people to live a lifetime with, so it didn't matter who it was.
Chen Xi sometimes wonders if he thinks about the messy things every day just to not think about the things he really wants to think about?
"Chen Xi!" Chen Xi was frightened, and the helplessness on his face once again changed into a plain smile. He raised his glass to everyone in the distance. It was to toast everyone, and it was also to cover up his expression.
"What is Chen Xi thinking? I think you been thinking about it for a while." Liu Bei drank the wine in his glass and said, "I'm afraid that your wife at home will miss you. I heard that Chen Xi spoils his wife very much." After finishing Liu Bei laughed.
"I just remembered some things about the past. It's just a matter of wives and concubines." Chen Xi smiled and did not refute, but admitted it directly. Anyway, no one will laughed at him. Who hasn't been to the brothel with Guo Jia, who goes frequently?
"You and Fan Jian haven't been officially married yet, right?" Liu Bei seemed to remember something and said, "Should I be the matchmaker for you?"
Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "Let's wait for a year. When Fan Jian is sixteen I will officially marry her. So, don't worry about it so much now."
After the new year is over, Fan Jian would already be sixteen years old. In Liu Bei's view, Chen Xi just didn't want to get married in the winter. Since Chen Xi was unwilling, Liu Bei couldn't push on. He just smiled and said, "I'll be a matchmaker for Chen Xi when the Fan Jian is sixteen, but with Chen Xi's current position, you can marry a concubine first. Chen Lan have share troubles with you, and the appearance is not bad. I think the side room is not a bad option. What does Chen Xi think?"
Chen Xi was speechless. Liu Bei seemed a bit over-excited and began to match for him. Although Liu Bei was talking about his marriage, but Liu Bei didn't have a wife either. He heard that Guan Yu has a wife but he hasn't seen her at all. As for Zhang Fei, if he remembers correctly, Zhang Fei wife Xiahou is only 8 or 10 years old now. Thinking about it, it looks like Zhang Fei mother-in-law is not as old as Zhang Fei. It's terrifying...
Just when he opened his mouth and wanted to refuse to marry her as a concubine, Chen Xi's mind flashed Chen Lan's figure. When he thought about Liu Bei's kindness, he nodded and said, "Well, it's almost the New Year anyway. It's not too bad to marry Chen Lan. She always lives in the backyard, but if she can live with me in the inner yard then I can rest assured."
When everyone heard it, they were first surprised. Then there were congratulations one after another. Chen Xi glanced at the people, and felt what it mean to be a local tyrant. The local tyrant feels like he can receive a lot of gifts when he gets married. Especially if he is a two-thousand-stone county guard, then he can invite a lot of people no matter what.
