Han Dao world

Chapter 614
Liu Ye tried his best to control his emotions so that he didn't look so excited, but the twitching of his eyes still exposed his heart.

He came all the way here just to seek a chance to show his talents.

It was just because of his clan status that he didn't dare to seek the opportunity to command troops in battle, even though he was proficient in the art of war, he also had good martial arts.Seeing that his friend Lu Su is about to embark on the road of becoming a marquis and worshiping a general, he is both happy and envious.

Showing your body in front of the emperor is just to show that you are cheerful and open-minded, and hope to gain the trust of the emperor, not to be jealous.

Now that the emperor confides his heart to him and regards him as a trustworthy clan, how can he be unhappy.

"Your Majesty is the king, and the minister is the minister..."

"The monarch and his ministers are determined later, not like blood." Liu Xie shook his hand. "Even if you are a monarch and ministers, you should keep your etiquette. If the ruler is not the ruler, if the minister is not the subject, there is no peace at all. Didn't you hear Mencius said that the ruler treats his ministers like dirt, and the ministers treat him like an enemy. I thought so."

Liu Ye was dumbfounded, and said with a wry smile, "I've heard for a long time that His Majesty admired Mencius, but seeing him now, it's true."

"Compared to other masters, Mencius is more pragmatic." Liu Xie laughed.

He was born under the red flag and grew up in New China. He was deeply influenced by the thought of "princes, generals and ministers, they would rather have kindness". He has also experienced severe beatings in modern society, and he never believes in loyalty without reason.

All cooperation becomes a win-win situation and is destroyed by greed.

As long as one party wants to eat more and take more, or take what others deserve as their own charity, even the best allies will turn against each other, let alone those who have nothing to do with each other.

People think Han, the status of emperor is a blessing to him, but it is not the capital for him to take anything.

Therefore, he appreciates Mencius's thought more, that monarchs and ministers are equal, rather than the natural establishment of the master who is always a ruler and ministers are always ministers.

If he wanted Liu Ye's allegiance, he had to give Liu Ye what he wanted.If the two sides cannot reach an agreement, it is better not to cooperate.

Feeling Liu Xie's sincerity, Liu Ye got up, put on his clothes, and bowed down.

"Chen Ye, I am willing to serve His Majesty."

Liu Xie nodded and signaled Liu Ye to take his seat again. "Zi Yang, on the day of Zhongxing, meritorious ministers can be named marquises, and meritorious clans can be named kings. But within the borders, princes and princes cannot govern the people. Outside the borders, princes and princes can govern the country and serve as Han vassals. What do you think? "

Liu Ye's eyes flickered slightly, he nodded and said, "I think it's okay."

"Liangzhou is in the Central Plains, and there is a tendency to dive. When the army goes east, can you defend this important place for the court?"

Liu Ye's eyelids trembled, he raised his head, and glanced at Liu Xie.

The emperor has been sitting in Jincheng himself, which shows the importance he attaches to Liangzhou.Now that the Son of Heaven wants to lead his troops eastward and entrust the Jincheng to him, he naturally has to be cautious.

If you keep the golden city well, you will be crowned king in the future. This is the promise of the emperor.

In addition, the previous monarchs and ministers treated each other with courtesy and did not invade each other. This is the highest reward that the emperor can give him.

Even as a clan, this far exceeded his expectations.

"Chen Neng." Liu Ye said firmly.

Although he could not follow the emperor to march eastward and lost the opportunity to make meritorious service, but such a heavy responsibility must belong to him.

"Very good." Liu Xie smiled with satisfaction, and reached out to pat Liu Ye on the shoulder. "You can't be idle even in Jincheng, read more and think more. When I calm down the world, you and I will discuss the etiquette of the Han family. The monarch and his ministers work together to create a new era."

"only."

A few days later, Yan Xing received the imperial edict, handing over general affairs to Zhou Fang, and rushed back to Jincheng.

Liu Xie introduced Liu Ye to Yan Xing, and together they discussed the relevant handling principles of Liangzhou's government and military affairs during the period when the army went east.

Liu Ye was well prepared and talked eloquently.

He suggested that the imperial court should add a captain of Hexi, focusing on the four counties of Hexi, stationed in Jiuquan.They are the horns of each other with the western captain stationed in Jincheng and the Qiang guard stationed in Lingzhou.

These three captains guard the three commercial roads leading to the West Sea, the Western Regions, and Beyond the Great Wall respectively. They can ensure the smooth flow of the commercial roads as much as possible, and raise a certain percentage from the commercial tax to fully finance the military.

In the future, when the conditions are ripe, the three-state plan proposed by Jia Xu can be implemented.

In order to promote enlightenment, schools were also set up in Jiuquan and Lingzhou to enroll the children of common people.After completing their studies, some entered the court, and some engaged in military and political affairs locally, serving as officials in counties and counties and generals in the army.

Assuming that [-] people graduate each year, after ten years, at least half of the officials at the county and county levels will be educated newcomers, and the government's government orders will be issued more smoothly.

In order to facilitate enlightenment, Liu Ye also suggested setting up paper workshops and book printing workshops in Jincheng, Jiuquan, and Lingzhou to publish books and open up the wisdom of the people.

After Yan Xing listened, he expressed his approval to Liu Ye.

If this plan can be implemented smoothly, Liangzhou will have a sufficient foundation before the world is at peace, and there is no need to worry about being quickly overtaken by Shandong.

Liu Xie immediately ordered Liu Ye to serve as a military division in the middle and guard the rear, assist Yan Xing in governing Liangzhou, and supervise the two departments of Qiang Xiaowei and Hexi Duwei.

In fact, Liu Ye is already the real and unknown governor of Liangzhou, with great power in his hands.

Recommended by Zhao Yun, Hao Zhao was appointed as the captain of Hexi, and Zhao Ang was appointed as the chief historian.

Liu Xie selected several doctors from the accompanying camp and arranged them to set up schools in Hexi and Lingzhou respectively.

-

At the end of July, an auspicious day was picked, and Liu Xie set off for Guanzhong.

Several edicts were sent to various ministries by Kuaima.

-

Yang Xiu received the edict and rushed to the county border with the officials from Hanyang Taishou's mansion to meet him.

Not seeing each other for two years, Liu Xie changed his appearance, and Yang Xiu was no longer a white-faced scholar.His complexion was dark, his cheeks were flushed, and his voice was loud, like a rough Liangzhou man.

"Dezu, are you safe?" Liu Xie looked at Yang Xiu with a smile, in a good mood.

Although he and Yang Xiu haven't seen each other for two years, they often correspond with each other. Wang Yi, Zhao Ang and others often communicate with their family members. He knows Yang Xiu's achievements in Hanyang very well.

"Thank you for your majesty's concern, and I am well." Yang Xiu also looked at Liu Xie, feeling emotional in his heart.I haven't seen him for two years. Liu Xiechang has grown a lot taller, and he can no longer see the immaturity of many young people. His brows and eyes are calm and quiet, and his every move has an imperial air.

"How many paces can Hanyang provide for this Eastern Expedition?"

Yang Xiu waved his hand, called Jiang Xu and Yang Fu to him, and introduced them to each other. "Your Majesty, they are Hanyang Wei and the military division. They will command three thousand Han and Qiang cavalry to march eastward with Your Majesty."

Jiang Xu and Yang Fu have received the news that Zhao Ang, who is now serving, has just been appointed as the captain of Hexi, and he has become a thousand stone official, which makes them very envious.Knowing that the emperor was marching eastward, they immediately found Yang Xiu, hoping to lead the county soldiers to go with him.

Yang Xiu readily agreed to them.

He was about to send these two people out, but he couldn't seem too active.The Eastern Expedition of the Son of Heaven is an excellent opportunity.

He was not Jiang Xu or Yang Fu, who thought that there would be a big battle in this Eastern Expedition and he would have a chance to make meritorious deeds.He knew very well that the emperor's departure was only to show the situation, and the possibility of a big war was extremely low. Jiang Xu and Yang Fu were at most just following the emperor.

Seeing the excitement on Jiang Xu and Yang Fu's faces, Liu Xie smiled and glanced at Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu grinned and begged.

Jiang Xu and Yang Fu went in without knowing it, thinking that the emperor refused and Yang Xiu was pleading for them.
