Chapter 428: Comparable to the Holy Emperor
Tian Ze, who was in Chang'an, couldn't help but smile when he learned about the situation of Guan Ning and Zhuge Liang.
"Your Majesty, the evil plan has succeeded, congratulations!" The humble Guo Jia came up and congratulated.
Tian Ze was not annoyed when he heard Guo Jia's teasing.
He did have some calculations in mind for this matter.
In fact, he could have forcibly arranged Zhuge Liang's daily routine and arranged for someone to look after him.
You can even send Sima Yi to keep an eye on Zhuge Liang.
However, he still allowed Zhuge Liang to "degenerate himself" in order to kill two birds with one stone and force out the hermit Guan Ning.
Tian Ze's command is severely lacking in top talents, especially those who can handle internal affairs.
Governing the world is much more difficult than conquering it. What's more, the great governance that Tian Ze wants requires extremely high standards and is extremely difficult, so he is extremely eager for domestic affairs talents.
If Tian Ze had not been thinking about the overall situation, he would have been unable to resist taking action against Li Ru, Fa Zheng and others.
Not to mention anything else, even in today's Xiliang, Tian Ze can't find a suitable candidate for reform and governance.
The importance and pressure of governing the north are greater than those of governing Xiliang. Although Zhuge Liang is capable, he certainly does not have the energy to do so.
Because that was a feat that was accomplished by top internal affairs talents such as Chen Gong and Zhang Zhao working together.
It is hard to say how far Zhuge Liang can go in the future, but Zhuge Liang today is still far from that level.
So Tian Ze could only start with Guan Ning and others.
It would be a great loss to the world for such a talented person to live in seclusion in the mountains.
However, Tian Ze was unable to change his mind by force, and could only find a way to coax it out.
After much thought, for these hermits who have almost no desires, the only thing to start with is their disciples.
When the apprentice is in trouble, the master can't just stand by and watch, right?
You know, the relationship between master and apprentice in this era is not much different from that between father and son.
Tian Ze took great pains to lure these old guys out.
"The fact that Lord You'an can come out of retirement shows that there is indeed room for maneuver in this matter. Wenhe, Zhongde, Fengxiao, you know what to do, right?" Tian Ze raised his eyebrows.
Facing Tian Ze's gaze, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and Guo Jia nodded even though they felt it was a bit difficult.
These are all world-renowned sages and scholars. If they do this, they will be scolded to death. I am afraid that the pen of history will punish them in the future.
But for the sake of Da Qi, they had no choice but to give it their all.
The times now are different from the past. The successive wars, the unstoppable force of Da Qi, and Tian Ze's various tactics have made the general trend of the world very clear in the eyes of people of insight.
The people are united!
Tian Ze was aware of this and dared to provoke these old monsters at this time.
Because in the eyes of the people of the world, especially the aristocratic families under Tian Ze's rule, the Great Qi is now destined to be the future ruler and the Holy Emperor. It is only a matter of time before it unifies the world in the future.
Therefore, please ask Guan Ning and others to come out, and there will no longer be any problems with our stance.
No one would think that Tian Ze invited them out of seclusion in order to compete for the Central Plains, because the princes of the Central Plains did not deserve such treatment at all.
Everyone will understand that Tian Ze asked them to come out only for the sake of the people of Da Qi and the people's livelihood.
Although it seems to be a small change in stance, it is a necessary foundation for the implementation of Tazawa Design.
"Your Majesty, Lord You'an has already passed away, and his close friends will not be far away. I just don't know to what extent Your Majesty can push the limits of the candidates for this matter?" Cheng Yu suddenly asked.
"Zhongde, what do you mean?"
"For example, Huangfu Song." Cheng Yu said with a gleam in his eyes.
Tian Ze frowned slightly: "Huangfu Song? He is so careful about his reputation that he is willing to come out of retirement?" Tian Ze has actually always disliked Huangfu Song.
Although everyone knew that Huangfu Song was an unparalleled talent, some of his actions during the Yellow Turban Rebellion and Dong Zhuo's Rebellion were also based on his personal standpoint and he had to do so with many difficulties.
However, the scenes of the past were too profound, and he still had a hard time letting them go. Tian Ze still had some grudges against Huangfu Song.
However, no matter how much he disliked it, Tian Ze still valued Huangfu Song very much.
Even with the emergence of a new generation of talents such as Zhou Yu and Cao Cao, Huangfu Song's status as the number one military strategist of the time remains unshakable.
Moreover, his loyal character and his love for reputation make him easy to control, so he is very qualified as a subject.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu said, "Your Majesty, things are different now. The situation in the world is now clear, and some of the former Han officials may be able to serve Your Majesty again."
"For example, Huangfu Song. If your majesty's ambition was only in the Central Plains, Huangfu Song would definitely not come out. But your majesty's ambition is to achieve great things in all directions, and to achieve great things like the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor, Huangfu Song will definitely be tempted."
Tian Ze nodded slightly.
What's the point of fighting a civil war? As former Han officials, I certainly don't have enough motivation to participate.
Because to put it bluntly, this is just about overthrowing the old generation of power for the new generation of power. As old ministers, there is nothing to boast about in their participation in it. Instead, it seems more like betrayal to their master.
But expanding territory is different.
It is absolutely politically correct to lead your own people to fight, regardless of the past or present dynasty.
So Huangfu Song and others will not have any concerns.
There are very few people who can leave their names in history, and even fewer who leave a good name or even a great reputation.
But among these, expanding territory is definitely the easiest way to achieve this goal and is the highest pursuit of civil officials and military generals.
"Anyone who is willing to do their best for the Han people is welcome."
"They don't have to participate in the battles in the Central Plains. They can go to Bingzhou, Liangzhou, Youzhou and other places to fight external battles."
Tadashi said without hesitation.
He was extremely eager for talent, even those who were only involved in external affairs would be fine. As long as they were willing to join, they would be a help.
In a few years, the problems and so-called limitations in these people's minds will disappear. These conditions will have no effect at all.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Jia Xu and others said in unison.
What they admire most is Tian Ze's broad-mindedness and courage.
Not everyone can keep their original intention after sitting in that position.
The people Cheng Yu was talking about were all people whom Tian Ze disliked, and some even had complaints about Tian Ze.
For Tian Ze, it doesn't matter whether he uses these people or not.
After all, Tianze has come this far, and unifying the world is just around the corner. Expanding territory in the future is not a problem.
There are enough talented people under my command, and it is nothing more than promoting some of those with less ability. Although there will be an impact, it will not be much big.
But Tian Ze still chose to accept it for the sake of the Han people.
This mind is indeed comparable to that of the Holy Emperor.
Because Tian Ze was not considering the issue from the perspective of a ruler who was trying to consolidate his rule, nor was he doing things simply to expand territory and leave a good reputation.
Instead, we should always do our best for the future of the Han people with a humble heart.
