Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 824 Successor (addition for the leader Zisu Ling)
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Mr. Jiang is not feeling well, and now he is asking His Majesty to rest and return to his residence, thinking that he will recuperate from his illness." But Zheng Zheng reported.

Liu Chan pondered for a while and asked, "Can Jiang Qing tell you how his condition is?"

But Zhengzheng shook his head and said, "Jiang Gong didn't say clearly what his condition was."

Liu Chan put down the books in his hand, and asked again: "How is the Shangshutai and the Shaofu?"

Zhang Shao, who knew the inside story, replied: "Your Majesty, at the beginning, because of the division of the spinning room and the water balance department, the officials of Shangshutai were quite dissatisfied. Yang Shangshu is displeased with the power of taxation and wants to divide the power of Shangshu Taiduzhi, and there is a quarrel between the two."

Liu Chan smiled, maybe he probably knew why Jiang Wan had to take sick leave, the root cause was still in the splitting of the spinning room and water balance between Shaofu and Shangshutai.

The official in the mountains and forests is called Heng, and the gardens in charge of the pools are called water, so it is called Shuiheng;Therefore, Lieutenant Shui Heng has a very large jurisdiction. He not only has the function of smelting coins, but also collects water for fishing and hunting. He can also lead troops to station in Shanglinyuan and Yantie official camp.

At present, if the Shaofu wants to go further, the restoration of Captain Shuiheng is extremely critical. Knowing this, Xia Houxuan is trying to restore the former power of Captain Shuiheng, and holding the power of fishing and hunting taxation in his hands is the most important thing Heavy.

However, Xia Houxuan's action caused Shang Shufu to shoot Yang Yi. Yang Yi, who was in charge of Duzhi, refused on the spot, but was suppressed by Xia Houxuan who was holding the edict.An aggrieved Yang Yi approached Jiang Wan and asked Jiang Wan to come forward and leave the right of taxation on fishing and hunting to Shangshutai, but Jiang Wan refused.

Seeing Jiang Wan's refusal, Yang Yi went to Shu Liu Chan alone, but was suppressed by Liu Chan who supported Xia Houxuan.In desperation, Yang Yi turned to Jiang Wan again.Perhaps due to the endless entanglement of Yang Yi and Shangshutai officials, Jiang Wan, who was not feeling well, directly asked Liu Chan for leave, hoping to recuperate for a few days.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Chan said, "I will reward Jiang Gong for his performance, and I will reward him. The Shangshu ordered Ma Liang to take Jiang Qing's post at the Shangshutai temporarily."

"promise!"

In the Han Dynasty, there was a sick leave system for the officials of the two thousand stones. All the officials of the two thousand stones were allowed to take a holiday within three months when they were sick. This is also a gift.But if you take sick leave for more than three months, you will be removed from office.

Under the leave system of the Han Dynasty, small experts in fishing and professional households with paid leave also emerged.For example, Li Feng of Cao Wei, when he served as a minister, he often excused his illness and refused to take office. Every time he was sick, he would live for dozens of days. He used sickness as an excuse to ask for leave, and repeated this for several years.

Such high-powered fishing skills are beyond the capabilities of ordinary people. After all, officials are so thick-skinned that they are not afraid of gossip and gossip. People who concentrate on fishing are really rare.

After a pause, Liu Chan said: "The order will go on. Today's evening, I will go to visit Jiang Gong in Weifu, and there is no need to notify in advance."

"promise!"

At dusk, Liu Chan drove slowly to Jiang Wan's mansion in a chariot under the guard of his attendants.Jiang Wan, who suddenly learned of Liu Chan's arrival, hurriedly took his eldest son Jiang Bin and his second son Jiang Xian out of the house to greet him.

"Free gift!"

Liu Chanxu helped Jiang Wan and his son, and said, "I have come to visit in a hurry, so there is no need to be polite. I am here this time to see the condition of Qing's family."

While speaking, a strong smell of herbs came to the nostrils. Several attendants behind Liu Chan entered the mansion with wooden boxes containing herbs. Everyone saw that there were precious herbs on them.

"Your Majesty's concern, I am very grateful!" Jiang Wan said quite moved.

After saying a few more words, Liu Chan and Jiang Wan entered the inner hall, the left and right attendants, Jiang Bin and Jiang Xian brothers wisely stayed outside, and the maid served tea before leaving.

Sitting on the couch, Liu Chan asked, "Your body has been unwell for a long time, and there is no one else. I want to know how your body is?"

What Liu Chan is most uncertain about at the moment is Jiang Wan's physical condition. His dismantling of the center has not yet been completed, and the big man is preparing to launch a war to take Hanoi from the north.If Jiang Wan died of illness during this period, it would be enough to make Liu Chan uncomfortable.

Jiang Wan considered a little, and said: "Since the Han Dynasty moved the capital, I have become increasingly ill and exhausted. This year, Ma Jichang has assisted in handling most of the Shangshutai affairs, and Dong Xiuzhao has often decided on official examinations."

Liu Chan frowned slightly, he understood Jiang Wan's meaning.Although Jiang Wan couldn't know his own life expectancy, he could sense his energy and his condition.Judging from what Jiang Wan said, he might not have much time to run out of fuel.

"After Qing, I think there are many successors, such as Lu Yi, governor of Yizhou, Fei Yi, captain of Sili, Ma Liang, prefect of Yinping, Shan Tao, governor of Yinping, and Lu Zhi, governor of Jingzhou. I don't know who you want to belong to?" Liu Chan asked: " You just said it's all right, it's really my inquiry."

After thinking about it, Liu Chan decided to remove Dong Yun. He was already in a high position as a doctor of imperial history.Moreover, Yushitai also needs a trustworthy person to be in charge and supervise Shangshutai.

Jiang Wan pondered for a long time, and said: "My Majesty, Lu Yi, the governor of Yizhou, since his administration, has been simple and not complicated in politics. Officials, who live in local prefectures and counties, can be transferred to the Yushitai, but if they are in charge of the Shangshutai and control the officials, it may be insufficient."

"Shang Shu Ling Ma Liang has a high reputation and treats people well. However, his name is greater than his reality and his talent is insufficient. If the prime minister is Shang Shutai, there may be omissions. Although he can win the public with his reputation, he may not be convinced if he has been in charge of Shang Shutai for a long time. public."

"Yinping Taishou Shantao, his administration is slightly superior to others, like pure gold and uncut jade. He has established himself and has a good character. Although it has not been long since he ruled Yinping, the custom has been slightly established, and it may be expected. However, he entered the Han Dynasty not long ago. There is no foundation, and his talent and political strategy have not yet been revealed, so it is difficult to convince the public. Your Majesty should wait and see how he performs, and then promote him."

When Shan Tao entered the Han Dynasty, Jiang Wan also chatted with him, but he didn't know much about him.Regarding Shan Tao's future, Jiang Wan thought that Liu Chan should look at his future achievements and not be in a hurry.

Jiang Wan pursed his lips, and continued: "Fei Yi, the captain of Sili, is elegant and modest. He is a man of political strategy. He has served the great man for a long time. In terms of talent, he can be the next to the minister, or he is more than the minister. However, he is lenient. And fraternity, following the rules and not reforming, may not be in line with His Majesty's wishes."

"Do you think that Lu Zhi can follow your career?"

Liu Chan saw that Jiang Wan had commented one by one, but he couldn't find a suitable person. At the moment, Lu Zhi was the only one who didn't comment, so he asked.

Jiang Wan shook his head, and said: "Lu Zhi is clean and ascetic, he is a clean official, and his administration is fair, which is good for military strategy, but it is not good for political affairs. Although he can persuade the public, he can also manage affairs. It is an appropriate choice. Let him succeed the minister. , it is better to choose Fei Yi as the superior."

This is indeed the case for Lu Zhi, who has both civil and military skills, but neither of them is top-notch, and his role may be maximized by placing him in a local area.

Liu Chan frowned slightly, and asked: "There is no one in the imperial court who can succeed the king, and carry forward the ambition of Duke Ge, and assist me to rule the world?"

"Forehead!"

Jiang Wan hesitated for a while, and said, "There is one person who may be in charge of Shangshutai, and His Majesty can govern the Han Dynasty, and he can also carry forward the ambition of Duke Ge."

"Who?" Liu Chan asked seriously.

"Xia Houxuan!"

Jiang Wan stroked his beard, and said slowly: "Xia Houxuan's reputation is high, his speech discusses standards, and he has a deep understanding of the governance system. The gains and losses of current discussions are beneficial, and he has the style of a minister. In the past, he made few words to reform Wei's bad government. We can see how brave he is, and now he can take over the power of His Majesty and revive the functions of the Shaofu, which shows how talented he is. If the status of Xia Houxuan is not considered in the opinion of the minister, if he succeeds the minister, the benefits of his governance may be far away It is better than a minister, and it can also meet His Majesty's wishes."

Among the many people Jiang Wan commented on, Fei Yi or Xia Houxuan were the ones with outstanding governance abilities. However, the difference between the two lies in the styles of Xia Houxuan and Fei Yi. age may matter.And Xia Houxuan was full of energy, innovative and enterprising, which is why Jiang Wan said that he would meet Liu Chan's wishes.
