Chapter 6627: Patrolling on Behalf of the Heaven
To Chen Xi, the assassination of Liu Yan was a very ridiculous thing. Except when he was being himself, Liu Yan had been a good guy all these years and never fought with anyone. How could such a guy be assassinated for no reason? To be honest, Chen Xi couldn't understand it.
"Then let Wenhe handle it. Two assassinations happened in a short period of time, and the levels involved are too high. I can more or less understand the one about Zhou Gongjin, but I really can't understand the one about Weishuo. Let Wenhe take the lead in investigating it." Chen Xi was not surprised by Jia Xu's active attack. After thinking about it for a while, he agreed to the other party's proposal.
"Then I'll deal with it now. This kind of thing must be done as quickly as possible and cannot be delayed." Jia Xu said with a grim expression, fully demonstrating what a close brother to Liu Yan is.
"I'll write a transfer order for you, and you can select the guards yourself." Liu Bei nodded slightly, and then began to write the transfer order in front of everyone. After stamping it, he handed it directly to Jia Xu.
"In Chang'an, I'll trouble Zichuan and Wenru to take over my work first. I'll go and check it out right away. I will definitely give everyone a satisfactory answer on this matter." Jia Xu received the transfer order, took a quick look at it, then put it away, stood up and said to Chen Xi and Li You.
The work on hand by Jia Xu was arranged not long ago after he returned from the Ganges. Handing it back now cannot even be considered as going through the process, because the time is not enough for the work handover.
"Okay, I can handle it here. As for Wenru, we still need to go to Donglai again." Chen Xi nodded to Jia Xu, then thought about it for a while and felt that it was not appropriate to assign Jia Xu's work to Li You. After all, inspecting the Donglai Shipyard was equally important, so it was a rare opportunity for him to take on the work himself.
Jia Xu glanced at Chen Xi. It was rare that Chen Xi was willing to handle it himself. To some extent, this was good news. As for whether Chen Xi could handle such things well, Jia Xu never worried. Chen Xi only had the question of whether he wanted to do it, not whether he could do it well.
"Then I'll leave now." After Chen Xi took over his work, Jia Xu stood up, bowed to everyone present, and then left quickly.
After watching Jia Xu leave, Chen Xi rarely showed an obvious look of relief. Jia Xu's style of dealing with people and his ability to do things made people feel at ease.
"Okay, Wenhe will handle the matter in Xinzhou, and Weishuo himself is not injured, so just wait for the result. Let's send a research team to deal with the matter in Jiangdong, even though it is a fait accompli." Chen Xixu said while tapping the table. When Liu Yan got into trouble, Jia Wenhe was sent to investigate. If Zhou Yu really died and no research team was sent, then there would be real problems.
After Chen Xi said this, everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment. It was true that Liu Yan was assassinated, but Jia Xu was sent to investigate even though he was not dead. Then, since Zhou Yu was assassinated and died, a person of the same level had to be sent to investigate. Otherwise, many things would not make sense.
The only problem is who will investigate this. After all, Zhou Yu is not really dead. He is just in the resurrection match. Moreover, everyone is relatively clear about the cause and effect. Sending a big shot to investigate is just a formality and has no practical significance at all. In this case, everyone present has a headache because they all have work to deal with.
Even Chen Xi, who seems to be the most idle, actually has a lot of work to do. It's just that Chen Xi handles it faster and has an outrageous ability to assign work, so he seems to be relatively idle. In fact, everyone has indicators, and these are not something that can be thrown away like that.
What's more, it is now the tenth year of Yuanfeng, and many things will soon enter the final review stage. Once you leave, it will leave a lot of trouble. In this case, unless the person who leads the team to investigate hands over his work to Chen Xi, he will definitely not feel at ease.
"Let me go." Liu Bei suddenly said.
"Ah, Lord Xuande, are you going over there?" Chen Xi was stunned when he heard this, and then frowned, "The current situation, from a political perspective..."
However, Chen Xi stopped talking halfway. It seemed that Liu Bei's going there was a good idea. It could solve almost all the problems and completely eliminate the hidden dangers that had always existed in Jiangdong.
"Let's put aside the political issues and talk about Jiangdong first." Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "Jiangdong is now leaderless, and we can't tell Sun Bofu the truth, otherwise some dramas will not be able to be performed. If we don't tell the other party the truth, it is unlikely that the other party will come back in a short time, so someone must suppress Jiangdong."
Judging from the level of behavior those people in Jiangdong have been doing, one would need someone at least at Zhou Yuβs level to suppress Jiangdong.
If the senior officials from the Executive Yuan go there, they can make the Jiangdong family shut up. The only ones who will cooperate obediently might be Chen Xi and Li You. As for the others, they lack that kind of deterrent power, and the Jiangdong family might even hinder them.
Of course, with the abilities of people like Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng, even if they would be hindered, they could resolve the problem with some time, and they could completely suppress this group of people with the power behind them. But this is a waste of time. Chen Xi's original idea was for Li You to lead the team to complete what Li You was going to do but was blocked by Zhou Yu.
But he didn't expect Liu Bei to actually ask to handle it himself. How should I put it? It's not that it's impossible, but it's somewhat outrageous. However, after thinking carefully about this outrageous idea, Chen Xi felt that it was indeed a solution to the problem that was beyond everyone's expectations.
The only problem is the political hidden danger, but this can allow Liu Tong to issue an edict ordering the King of Jin to conduct an inspection and go to Wu Gong's territory to investigate. As for leaving troubles for future generations, to be honest, as a vassal king, the King of Jin has already left troubles for future generations by not going to the fiefdom.
What's more, Liu Bei's proposal actually coincides with the way Chen Xi planned to resolve the internal political risks in the third five-year plan.
Chen Xi was well aware that the King of Jin would not go to his fiefdom but would remain in the central government to exercise power. However, in order to preserve the fruits of victory, Liu Bei's advancement to the King of Jin was actually the simplest and feasible solution. As for the remaining issues, Chen Xi had actually considered them at that time.
In addition, according to Chen Xi's estimation, the Southwest Grand Passage will be completely opened in the 12th year of Yuanfeng, and the war between the Han Dynasty and Kushan will be ended in one go in the 13th year of Yuanfeng. After all, the war between empires must either be a small-scale friction like the current one for the Han Empire to maintain its combat effectiveness, or it must be ended directly in one go. The ordinary way of increasing the intensity will only lead to a quagmire.
After all, the Kushan Empire still has more than 30 million people and sits on the Indus-Gangetic Plain. Its war potential is no joke. The cannibalization method used in the previous Battle of the Ganges is no longer advisable. They should simply increase the intensity of the war to fifteen times the previous level and launch a truly total war for the Han Empire, crushing the Kushan in one fell swoop and then enfeoffing them on the spot.
To be honest, if we have already determined the upper limit of Kushan's combat power and its potential development efficiency, and we have increased its combat power to more than ten times its previous peak, but still cannot defeat Kushan, then it will basically be impossible to defeat Kushan.
In this way, Chen Xi's thinking was very clear. That battle was a decisive battle. All the previous decisive battles were only decisive battles from the perspective of the Kushans. In the military map of the Han Dynasty, they were just levels of border friction.
Therefore, before the completion of the Southwest Passage in the twelfth year of Yuanfeng, that is, during the grand court meeting at the end of this year, Chen Xi would suggest that Liu Tong issue an edict to let the Prince of Jin inspect the border areas of the world on his behalf.
In other words, in the eleventh and twelfth years of Yuanfeng, what Liu Bei had to do was to inspect the four directions. After the inspection, he would go south along the southwest channel into the Ganges, and then launch a decisive battle to settle the matter.
If everything goes as Chen Xi estimated, it will be a perfect ending. After intimidating the princes from all directions and making them pay attention, he will kill the Kushan with one punch, and there will be no problems afterwards. Why can't he get 100% of the fruits of victory?
I, Chen Xi, was just confused by Lu Su at that time, and couldn't react for a while, but after I recovered, I was able to deal with all the legacy naturally.
The political hidden danger of the Jin King holding power in the central government? Le, I can't solve this kind of thing, who are you looking down on? I will personally solve it for you!
The emperor directly appointed someone to tour the country on his behalf, which was a direct political showdown, that is, to establish the line of Prince of Jin as the heir. As for whether the Prince of Jin would inherit the throne or the heir of Prince of Jin would inherit the throne, that was an internal matter of the line of Prince of Jin.
In this way, the political risks caused by his failure to go to the fiefdom after being promoted to King of Jin and staying in Chang'an were no longer risks. After the drama of "Pursuing the Emperor on Behalf of the Emperor" came out, it was clear that any princes in the future who dared to stay in the central government would be doomed.
Some things are not a problem when they are out in the open, just like the fact that the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty ruled the country. But precisely because they are out in the open, they are not a problem, because this set of rules has gradually formed a set of rules that everyone can accept, and with rules, some things will not happen easily.
Similarly, Liu Bei's appointment as King of Jin and his stay in Chang'an to exercise power is an extremely heaven-defying move. To some extent, it is indeed a move that will leave a huge shock to future generations.
But what if this operation was originally prepared for the purpose of patrolling on behalf of the emperor? What if it was intended to allow the Jin royal family to inherit the throne? Would it still be considered a hidden danger?
That is not a hidden danger, it is a clear sign, telling you that the princes who hold power and remain in the central government are the heirs, and the sign will be confirmed once more in the middle, which is the inspection tour on behalf of the emperor.
To be honest, patrolling on behalf of the emperor is a very dangerous operation, because this is the time when one is most likely to be assassinated. But if it were Liu Bei, this problem would not occur. So without having to worry about being assassinated, Chen Xi can perform a very incredible operation.
It directly eliminates the so-called political risks at their root.
After all, if there can be such a prince who holds power and rules the central government again in the future, and can patrol the four directions and travel through the territories of various princes, then to be honest, it depends on whether you want to ascend the throne or not.
"Zichuan, you seem to be a little reluctant to let me go to Jiangdong? Is there something wrong?" Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi and asked curiously. He was somewhat surprised as to why Chen Xi looked like that.
"If I go to Jiangdong now, it will conflict with some of my plans." Chen Xi said awkwardly, "It's not that I can't go, but the timing is a bit problematic. Forget it, I'll tell you roughly what my idea is."
Chen Xi recounted the plan of touring on behalf of the emperor that he had originally prepared to be reviewed at the grand court meeting, and also talked about the issue of the southwest corridor that he had specially coordinated with Sun Qian, as well as the logistical supplies he had stockpiled in the Chang'an, Hanzhong, and Chengdu treasuries over the years, etc., so that everyone present could roughly understand what his complete plan was.
After all, in order to increase the combat power fifteen times, even with Chen Xi's ability, the logistics supplies and other aspects need to be stockpiled five years in advance. The supplies in the Chang'an treasury have been specifically described before, and these are all Chen Xi's preparations for the decisive battle.
Compared with the small-scale battle involving 200,000 people, Chen Xi estimated that the final battle would have a scale of at least 2.7 million to 3 million. Such a scale would be a real decisive battle with a ratio of 20 to 1 for the Han Dynasty. The number of manpower, materials to be exchanged, and material resources to be transported would increase by more than ten times compared to before.
This is also the reason why Chen Xi has been constantly rotating and accumulating various logistics management personnel over the years, because that wave was also a test for the Han Dynasty. As long as a passing score could be achieved at that time, Chen Xi would not worry about the subsequent wars.
Because this scale can maintain operation, even if there are wins or losses in the future, it doesnβt really matter.
"After the tour on behalf of the emperor, the last battle will take place in the Ganges, and then the Kushan Empire will be directly crushed with the momentum to completely grasp the fruits of victory?" Li You looked at Chen Xi and had completely understood Chen Xi's thinking. This was to seize the biggest fruits while eliminating internal political problems.
Perhaps at other times, the Han family and the subordinates of Cao Cao and Sun Ce would have some other ideas and wanted to invade the fiefs of Liu Bei's officers, but Liu Bei had just examined them and then used his absolute strength to destroy the Kushan Empire, which was dozens or hundreds of times stronger than them. It is almost self-evident how they would think about the problem.
"Well, after all, we agreed to distribute the fruits of victory in full. Although there were some problems in the middle, I still thought of a way to make up for it." Chen Xi nodded and said, "And it can also be regarded as eliminating political risks. Of course, the most important thing is to knock on the barriers of the four parties. The local bureaucracy is not trustworthy, not to mention the barriers of the four parties. They share the same ideals with us, but it does not mean that they don't have any ideas about us. Solve them all at once."
"Going to Yuan's house?" Fa Zheng looked at Chen Xi and asked.
"So it was announced at the grand court meeting, reviewed in front of everyone, and passed by the emperor." Chen Xi said calmly, why not go? Not only should you go, but you should also review it severely. At least you can't deviate from the Han cultural circle. I, Chen Xi, have worked so hard to give you blood transfusions, not to let you pick peaches, but to let you fulfill my ideals!
To put it bluntly, this review is directly related to whether these guys can exist in the future. If they do not deviate from the Han cultural circle, everything will be fine. If they deviate from the Han cultural circle, then there is nothing to say. After we destroy the Kushans, we will come back and destroy you!
"I give face to the Yuan family, so the Yuan family should also give face to me." Chen Xi was calm but with unquestionable determination. What's wrong with the Yuan family of Runan? They are all carried by people in fancy sedans. It's just a matter of giving them face.
Zhuge Liang listened to Chen Xi's words expressionlessly, but even he had to admit one fact, that is, Chen Xi was right, the Yuan family could not stop Liu Bei from touring the country on behalf of the emperor, especially if Chen Xi brought it up in the second five-year plan, there was no way to stop it. At most, after Liu Bei arrived in Eastern Europe, Yuan Tan would avoid Liu Bei, but there was no such thing as Liu Bei avoiding Yuan Tan.
"We need to think about what's going on in your brain, Chuan, and why you came up with this plan. It seems outrageous at first, but the more you think about it, the better it seems. All the hidden dangers left before are solved at once." Guo Jia said with some emotion. He agreed to this matter because it would solve the troubles that Liu Bei's group was facing now.
Whether it was the big thunder left behind by the King of Jin who held power in the central government, or the problem of embezzlement by the aristocratic families that the Ganges enfeoffment had to face, they were all destroyed in one move.
After all, no matter how crazy the Han family is, they can't possibly commit suicide under that kind of pressure. If they don't commit suicide at the beginning and wait for a few years, what should be formed will have been formed. By then, if the Han family wants to take action again, the difficulty factor will increase significantly.
"It's not that he has a brain." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "So I don't suggest that Lord Xuande go to Jiangdong now, because if he goes to Jiangdong now, others will be on guard if he mentions it later, and if he doesn't go now, others will be waiting to see our fun."
It is hard to imagine that Liu Bei would tour the country on behalf of the emperor before a similar event happened. However, Chen Xi would not be bound by current history. He would look for suitable solutions to deal with possible future situations. Touring the country on behalf of the emperor never happened in the Han Dynasty, because in that dynasty, the emperor either did not leave the capital, or he went on hunting tours himself.
Therefore, at this point in time, if Chen Xi reported that Liu Bei was to tour the country on behalf of the emperor, everyone would probably have a question mark as to whether he was to tour the country on behalf of the emperor or on behalf of the emperor. But regardless of whether there is a question mark or not, there is only one thing to consider, and that is whether this matter can be passed.
If it can be approved, then no matter it is acting as the emperor or acting as God, there is actually no difference. When Liu Bei goes there, you have to welcome him with the ceremony of the emperor. In the words of Chen Xi, although Liu Bei is not prepared to be the emperor and is preparing to let his son directly take over Liu Tong's position, he still has to enjoy the benefits legally.
"Isn't it a bit too much?" Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi and suggested tentatively. He was not a fool. Chen Xi's words had been very clear. This was actually a road to slapping people in the face. Moreover, after going through all the way, he would find a tough guy and kill him with one punch using the power of the world. It would not matter what other guys were thinking because there was no room for them to show it.
"Okay, this is the best solution I can find. It solves all the problems left over from before." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, in fact, not all of them have been solved, because new problems have emerged recently, namely the problems of Liu Chan and Liu Yong. Although Chen Xi does not think it is a problem, others think it is, so that's it, but this one can be solved later, which is always easier than the previous two.
Liu Bei lowered his head and thought about it. It seemed that he really could not think of a better plan than this. Although Liu Bei did not mention these two things again after he had done what he should do, Liu Bei's heart was as clear as a mirror. He knew very well the hidden dangers of staying in Chang'an as the powerful King of Jin, and he also knew how great the undercurrent would be if the Kushan elite area was enfeoffed.
Even though the former himself said that it was an empty title, to be honest, wasn't he worthy of the title? The latter was truly wealthy and powerful. If there were no undercurrents, the problem would be even bigger. Anyway, they were both deadly and unsolvable problems. Liu Bei had no choice but to muddle along like this for now and see if there was any way to make up for it later.
This is also the reason why Liu Bei basically did not show up in Chang'an after being enthroned as King of Jin, because he also knew that in order to preserve the fruits of victory of his brothers, even if he could not preserve 100%, he could at least preserve 70%, so he chose to become the King of Jin, leaving a big thunder behind, so he would not show up if he could, but this big thunder was always there.
And now, Chen Xi once again came up with the best of both worlds solution, just like he did before. He completely ignored the difficulty of the problem and directly crushed it. He not only solved the political thunder of the powerful princes staying in the central government, but also solved the problem of the fruits of the victory of the Indus-Ganges being stolen.
To a certain extent, Chen Xi did not disappoint Liu Bei's expectations at all, but this solution seemed a bit too direct to Liu Bei.
"There's no other way. I don't want this to happen, but things have been distorted like this and will be recorded in history. I can only find a way to solve the problem together. And this is good, right?" Chen Xi explained, then gave the others a look, asking them to speak quickly.
"This plan is very good, so let someone else go to Southeast Asia. I think Wenru is a suitable person. Besides, Wenru has been very unhappy with the Jiangdong family before. He wanted to take action to deal with them but was stopped. Let's just regard it as satisfying Wenru's ideal. How about it?" Guo Jia took over the conversation immediately and recommended Li You, and the reason he gave was very rude.
"I also recommend Master Li. Master Li is suitable for handling such matters as cutting the Gordian knot. The commander-in-chief should wait a little longer. Moreover, the last two items are more important than going to Southeast Asia to solve the problem. Besides, the governor is not really dead. He is still alive. He is just trapped. There is no need, really no need." Fa Zheng also expressed his support for Li You to go to Southeast Asia to hammer the Jiangdong family. After all, Li You has rich experience in hammering the aristocratic families, and he is very good at controlling both the process and the intensity.
Of course the most important thing is that all of Li You's work can be handed over to Chen Xi and Zhuge Liang. No matter how much work there is, these two people can handle it. If someone else is to handle it, as long as he is a veteran, he may assign the work to Fa Zheng, so let Li You do it.
"Putting aside the issue of Wenru going to Southeast Asia, I think what Zichuan and Xiaozhi said is very correct. The events in Jiangdong will not cause long-lasting harm. Not to mention that the governor is not dead, even if the governor was really assassinated, it will not leave a big political hole. But the first two are already big holes." Man Chong did not want to care about these things, but Man Chong believed that Chen Xi and Fa Zheng's judgment was correct.
"How about I go?" Mi Zhu suddenly said, "I actually have some business in Jiangdong, and my presence is relatively low."
Mi Zhu, like Liu Yan, was one of those guys with a low presence but considerable power. He was just covered and protected by Chen Xi. But as long as you have some understanding of the political circle of the Han Dynasty, you would know that Mi Zhu was a backbone under Liu Bei who came earlier than Lu Su, and had always been in the core circle.
The fact that Media was a runner-up actually illustrates Mi Zhu's status. He is the real boss. More importantly, handing this matter over to Mi Zhu is more in line with what Zhou Yu said about catching Zhu Helai fish.
A boss with a low sense of presence but real power, with rich experience and high status, but he is not often seen in public. The fact that he was sent out to investigate this time just shows that this matter is indeed very serious and they want to cover it up.
"It seems that Zi Zhong is indeed more suitable." Chen Xi lowered his head and thought for a while and said, and Li You nodded when he heard it. If he went, it would be more to intimidate the Jiangdong family, and although Mi Zhu's words could not effectively intimidate the Jiangdong family, it would be enough if it was just for investigation and handling.
"It seems so. You only remember to let Wenru complete the unfinished task, but forget that this matter was a plot set up by the governor. If you think about it this way, Zizhong is indeed suitable." Guo Jia stroked his beard and said thoughtfully, "But if Zizhong goes, I suggest taking Zhongyu with him."
Xun Yue has followed Liu Bei for more than ten years. He is considered to be the closest to the elders and is very capable. Of course, the most important thing is that this matter really requires someone who is tactful and well-versed in law and politics to handle it. If Mi Zhu takes Xun Yue with him, both his status and ability will be enough.
"Then let Zi Zhong go. I'll wait a little longer." Seeing that everyone present thought Mi Zhu was more suitable, Liu Bei nodded in agreement. After all, he was thinking that other people had things to do and he was not suitable to stay in Chang'an, so he went to verify. Now that there was a more suitable candidate, Liu Bei didn't mind going there in person.
More importantly, Chen Xi already has the ability to resolve previous hidden dangers, and Liu Bei also feels that there is no need for him to hide outside all the time. To be honest, if he could live in Chang'an permanently, Liu Bei would not hang out in other places every day. Even though there are reasons for the inspection, if he has a choice, Liu Bei does not want to be outside on patrol for more than 300 days a year.
"Bring more guards when the time comes. If you really can't find anything, just stage an assassination for the Jiangdong family." Chen Xi gave Mi Zhu a despicable suggestion. To be honest, although this suggestion has some moral issues, it is indeed effective.
"Well, Zichuan, that's enough. I know you don't like things sometimes, but if you really do that, the Jiangdong family will explode." Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi and suggested. He discovered very early on that Chen Xi sometimes did things without any particulars. It would be an exaggeration to say that he was not fussy about details. Of course, most of the time it was when Chen Xi felt disgusted with certain things.
However, after all these years, Liu Bei has discovered that Chen Xi only talks a lot and would not really do that. It's just that some of his words are creepy just to hear. Damn it, now he is performing a show for the Jiangdong family where an imperial envoy of one of the twelve elders was assassinated upon landing. Combined with the previous assassinations of Zhou Yu and Liu Yan, the Jiangdong family may feel like killing someone.
Killing is not the end of the matter. If you play like this, it won't be resolved by killing.
"It's just talk. Anyway, it's also a way to solve the problem." Chen Xi said with a smile, but there was no sign of just talk on his face. After being glared at by Liu Bei, he restrained this look and said with a sigh, "Okay, Zizhong, you can take care of it. By the way, take a look at my apprentice's current situation and ask him to prepare for Lu Ziming to take over the navy."
Although Zhou Yu is not dead yet, based on Chen Xi's understanding of Shenxiang, Zhou Yu will not be able to come out in a short time. Even if he comes out later, it will not be easy. It is only a matter of time before Lu Xun and Lu Meng gradually take over the navy. Of course, the navy is currently commanded by Gan Ning, but Lu Xun and Lu Meng will be the main ones to be trained in the future.
As for why it is these two, there is actually nothing much to say, because no matter which one you train, the other will become the first choice of the Jiangdong family. After all, these two people are choices that the Jiangdong family can accept, but cannot fully accept.
So no matter how Chen Xi chooses, the Jiangdong family will nominate another one. To be honest, this is also the reason why Chen Xi is unhappy with the Jiangdong family. In Chen Xi's view, if he chooses Lu Meng, the other party will push Lu Xun to compete with him. Chen Xi really doesn't want to say anything. He is simply mentally ill.
"Of course I will go and take a look. After all, he is my brother-in-law. But in this case, Feng Xiao's original plan to move my entire family and my brother-in-law's family to Media will be completely impossible to carry out. Do I need to make some other preparations on my side?" Mi Zhu looked at Chen Xi and asked. Of course, this was actually said to Liu Bei.
"No need. As long as we don't do stupid things like the Zhen family, Media's defense is still trustworthy." Liu Bei didn't even wait for Chen Xi to give an answer before he directly expressed his thoughts. The Zhen family's downfall made Liu Bei very embarrassed. It was fortunate that everyone chose it together and it was not entirely based on pillow talk, otherwise Liu Bei would also be very embarrassed.
"Uh, okay." Mi Zhu looked at Liu Bei. He believed that Liu Bei understood what he meant. But now it seems that the other party really doesn't want the Wu family to interfere in this matter. It turned out that Adou was destined to be with him.
It's been ten years. I'll post a big chapter first, then another big chapter at noon. In the afternoon, when it's ten years, I'll post a ten-year sentimental post, and in the evening, I'll post a special chapter. I just wrote this chapter this morning. It's so confusing.
