Han Dao world

Chapter 1220 No One Is Perfect
Although Liu Xie and Yang Biao often had differences of opinion, he still trusted Yang Biao's character and vision, and naturally had no doubts about Zhang Song, so he accepted Zhang Song's suggestion and designated Wei Tao as the No. .1 election.

The prefect of Lingling was replaced by Du Ji, the prefect of Changshan.

He knew that Yang Biao was reluctant to include Yang Jun in the recommendation list. Apart from expressing that he was not partial to Du Ji, he also meant to prepare for the promotion of Zhuge Liang.

In a blink of an eye, Zhuge Liang has been serving as Handan Commander for almost four years.With his outstanding achievements in the top three years ago, it is reasonable to be promoted to Prime Minister Zhao on the spot.If you want to do this, you have to change Yang Jun's position.

Liu Xie felt that Zhuge Liang's accumulation at the grassroots level was not enough, and now he was promoted to prefect too quickly.Handan is a large county, and it is not difficult to manage it well.If poor counties and weak counties can also be managed well, that is the real skill.

Coupled with the idea he established not long ago, he still hopes to transfer Zhuge Liang to a remote area to practice again. Even if he is promoted to the prefect, he cannot be in Zhao State.

After listening to Liu Xie's thoughts, Zhang Song suggested that Zhuge Liang should be transferred to Lingling.

Liu Xie was also a little moved, but after thinking about it carefully, he still refused.

Zhuge Liang can't be under his protection all the time, there must be a time to fly solo, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public in the future.

In turn, Liu Xie said to Zhang Song, are you interested in taking up a post in a local area?

Zhang Song smiled and shook his head. "Not yet. I still plan to practice in Situ Mansion for a few more years to accumulate qualifications, and then we can talk about it."

Liu Xie felt a little regretful. "Zi Qiao, even I can't get rid of the habit of judging people by their appearance."

Zhang Song felt warm in his heart. "With your majesty's words, even if you can't be an official for the rest of your life, you will be satisfied. It would be even better if your majesty can let you follow you when you go west."

Liu Xie was quite surprised. "You want to go west too?"

Zhang Song nodded. "I heard that in the eyes of barbarians, Han people are difficult to distinguish, let alone beauty and ugliness. When you arrive in the Western Regions, you don't have to worry about being inferior. You can be respected only by this Han face. If you add the emperor's close minister What else is there to worry about?"

Liu Xie laughed and nodded in agreement. "A gentleman has the beauty of being an adult. Since you have such lofty ambitions, how can I refuse. You will stay in Quanling and take care of some affairs for me while serving as the left chief of Situ's mansion. When the opportunity is right, ask Situ for help." .”

Zhang Song was overjoyed and bowed deeply. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After staying with Zhang Song for a few days, Liu Xie realized that although Xizheng hadn't really been put on the agenda, there were quite a few people who wanted to follow him on the expedition.

In addition to people like Zhang Song whose official career has been hindered due to appearance problems, there are also many descendants of aristocratic families, especially those who have no inheritance rights, second sons, concubine sons, and Xiaozong whose blood is getting thinner.

Compared with ordinary people, these people are much better educated, and there are not a few people with both civil and military skills.Before that, because of the existence of the shadow appointment system, once two thousand stone high-ranking officials appeared in the family, they would have the opportunity to serve as shadows.Now that the imperial court is gradually tightening the quota of Yin Ren, their official careers are hindered, so they naturally have to find other ways out.

What's more, there are only a small number of officials who are capable of reaching two thousand shi, and the vast majority of officials will not be able to shade their children in their lifetime. Those children who have received education but have no place to use their skills have become the treasures of many families and individuals. common choice.

Going west with the Son of Heaven is just one of the choices. Some people choose to go to sea, and Zhongshan is one of the directions.

The impact of the escape case last year was not small.In addition to the idea that the law must be followed has gradually become popular, more and more people know about Zhongshan Kingdom.Because of the proximity and the traffic of sea ships, it is not difficult to get news about Zhongshan.In addition, Liu Bei used to be an official in the Qingxu area, and there are many people who are familiar with him. Knowing that he is king overseas, expanding the territory, there are many Qingxu children who want to serve.

Those who wanted to go west like Zhang Song were mostly from Yizhou and Liangzhou.

Hearing such news, Liu Xie was still very happy.

After nearly ten years, he finally saw some achievements in the hearts of the people.It is a good start that more Han family teenagers are starting to look around, no longer limited to the land of the Central Plains.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but now this step is finally taken.

In time, as the horizons of the Han people widen and their footprints grow farther and farther, the battle flags of the Han people will be planted all over the world, and the prosperous age of cars on the same track and books on the same text will eventually become a reality.

At the beginning of August, Wei Tao rushed to Quanling to take up his post.

Zhang Song took him to see him immediately.

Liu Xie didn't know Wei Tao.He had only heard of Wei Tao's name, but never met him.When he saw Wei Tao for the first time, he was a little surprised.

Wei Tao is of medium build and very strong.Unlike the [-]-year-old on the resume, his hair is half white, and he looks at least fifty.But he is in good spirits, and he doesn't look like he has committed any crime or served a sentence.

Then again, it's really not a big deal for officials in the Han Dynasty to serve their sentences.Unlike later generations, once a crime is committed, it means that the official career will be cut off. Many officials in the Han Dynasty recovered after serving their sentences, including Sangong Jiuqing and the like.

The reasons for this are very complicated, and it is hard to say whether it is good or bad, but it is a fact.

Seeing Liu Xie looking at his hair, Wei Tao didn't hide it, explaining that his hair was white when he was serving his sentence.

At that time, the emperor was stationed in Wan County, and Tingwei Temple was also in Wan County. After he was sentenced, he also served his sentence in Wancheng. He witnessed the great changes in Nanyang after Dutian, and was greatly shocked.

"For a period of time, I lost all hope and felt that what I had learned before was wrong."

Liu Xie wanted to laugh, but seeing Wei Tao's expression, he held back.

Even at this moment, he could feel Wei Tao's despair at that time, the collapse of faith is indeed a very hurtful thing.

The stronger the faith, the more desperate it will be when it collapses.

"So, you opposed Du Tian at the time because you thought Du Tian was wrong?"

"Yes." Wei Tao said: "The small property of the minister's family is the result of the painstaking efforts of the ancestors. It is difficult for the minister to accept that it has disappeared overnight. He believes that this is tyranny, and he is unwilling to submit even if it is death."

"now what?"

"Now the minister still thinks this is tyranny."

"Oh?" Liu Xie glanced at Zhang Song.

Zhang Song was very calm, smiling without saying a word.

Wei Tao went on to say: "But compared to the fact that the common people have no place to stand on and rise up, this can be regarded as the lesser of two evils. After all, when the Yellow Turbans robbed Jizhou, it was far better than saving the land."

Liu Xie smacked his lips, not knowing what to say for a while.

He firmly believes that Dutian is necessary, but he cannot deny that Dutian is unfair to some people.A revolution cannot be without bloodshed. Under the tide, there are not a few small landlords like Wei Tao who have been accidentally injured.

But he is not a small landlord, not in his previous life, nor in this life, so there is no empathy.

So, to a certain extent, he ignores this group, seeing them only as an unavoidable price.

But for someone like Wei Tao, the price was too high.

Liu Xie pondered for a long time. "Did the counties handle the land fairly?"

"At that time, His Majesty was in Jizhou, and there were not many cases of false public affairs for personal gain."

Liu Xie immediately heard the implication. "What about after I leave Jizhou?"

"Fortunately, His Majesty picked a good governor for Jizhou, who killed decisively and saw clearly."

Liu Xie was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.

Sure enough, Yanzhao Duo is a martyr, even boasting so much.As long as I am narrow-minded, your Quanling order will be yellow before you get it.
