Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 865 Scholars
The sky was as cloudy as ink, and the heavy rain was pouring down, forming puddles in the low-lying places of the street, and the accumulated water flowed out of the city along the drainage channels.

The gate of the palace was wide open, and the cool rain took away the heat in the palace.

Liu Chan was dressed in summer clothes, sitting on the couch, correcting the memorandum with a pen in his hand.It has been a while since he came back from Hebei.At that time, the crown prince Liu Zhen led all the civil and military officials to go out to welcome Liu Chan.

After Liu Chan had received all the people, he didn't go back to the palace first, but visited Dong Yun who was suffering from illness.

Dong Yun was very happy to see Liu Chan's return, and the two monarchs and ministers talked about the government affairs in the court for a long time.Before Liu Chan left, Dong Yun advised Liu Chan not to be tyrannical, but to rule the world with benevolence.People from Jizhou, Sili, Jingxiang and other states have been Han officials since they entered the Han Dynasty, and they must treat all domestic subjects equally in order to revive the Han Dynasty.

Liu Chan responded sincerely to Dong Yun's critical illness.

Of course, Liu Chan did not agree verbally, but kept it in his heart and implemented it.

As far as governing the country is concerned, Liu Chan must also focus on appointing those talented Central Plains scholars.

For example, the Northwest is outstanding in military force. In terms of governance, after so many years, the Northwest has not produced any great talents in governing the country, and most of them are those generals who are brave and good at fighting.

Although the culture of Bashu was prosperous, it also supported half the sky of the Han Dynasty, but the Han Dynasty could not only use Bashu scholars forever, and they were indeed inferior to the scholars from the Central Plains in terms of quality.

As for Jingchu, due to the perennial wars, although the big man took Jingzhou, he was still weak, and no one could match Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and other great talents.

Scholars from Guanzhong are gradually ascending to positions, such as Du Shu, Lu Zhi, Huang Fulong and others.If the big Han wants to govern the vast five states of the Central Plains, including Ji, Yan, Yu, Qing, and Xu, it is not enough to rely on these talents, and they do not know enough about the situation in the Central Plains.

Forced by such a situation, Liu Chan found that instead of passively allowing the Central Plains scholars to integrate into the Han, it is better to actively accept these outstanding Central Plains scholars.After all, although Cao Wei is guilty, the talents under his command should be innocent.

In the past few days, Liu Chan has listened to Xia Houxuan's suggestion and promoted a large number of scholars from the Central Plains to serve as local sheriffs or officials in the court.Such as Ying Qu, Liu Jing, Lu Yu, Zhong Yu, Fu Gu, Xun Xu, Wang Shen, Pei Xiu, Wang Bi and others.

Lu Yu of Zhuojun, the son of Lu Zhi, could barely get along with Liu Chan because of Lu Zhi.Liu Chan was not stingy either, and appointed him as Qingxu's comfort envoy, to test the officials of Qingxu Erzhou and rectify local officials.

Liu Chan also appeased Liu Jing, a native of Peiguo in Yuzhou. As the son of Liu Fu, the former governor of Yangzhou, he had his father's old style.After Sima Yi came to power, he succeeded Li Sheng as the governor of Youzhou, reclaimed the border land, and supervised the military affairs of Youzhou.

After his surrender, Liu Chan valued his ability to handle frontier affairs, appointed him as the governor of Bingzhou, and entrusted him with the important task of rectifying the government affairs of Bingzhou.

Or it may be like Yingju from Runan, who is the younger brother of Yingju, the seventh son of Jian'an, who is erudite and good at composition and calligraphy.Liu Chan appointed him as the prince's concubine and assisted the prince Liu Zhen.

In just a few months, relying on Xia Houxuan's extraordinary prestige, Liu Chan recommended each other through Cao Wei's talented talents, and the big man absorbed these old people quite quickly.

At the Central Committee, Liu Chan gave Fei Yi the appointment of Jiang Wan's successor after deep thought, and appointed him as a situ and recorded the affairs of the minister.

At present, the great Han is engulfing the Central Plains, not only to deal with domestic affairs, but also to manage the affairs of the Central Plains states and counties prudently.With such a candidate, Fei Yi, who is good at dancing with long sleeves, is undoubtedly the right candidate.

Although Fei Yi is conservative in governing and sticks to the rules, at such a time, a ruler like Fei Yi is needed.During Zhuge Liang's period, Wei Yan and Yang Yi fought each other, and Fei Yi often relied on Fei Yi to ease the relationship between them.When Jiang Wan was in power, Jiang Wan often relied heavily on Fei Yi to ease the relationship between him and Yang Yi and others.

In addition, Fei Yi's administration also focused on lenient aid, which was able to better govern the Central Plains and unite the Central Plains scholars.

However, Liu Chan has been thinking for a long time about the Shangshuling, and has not decided who will be the Shangshuling.

While picking up the pen, I was faced with different candidates for the minister proposed by the crowd.Liu Chan thought for a long time, and finally appointed Xia Houxuan as Minister of the Book.At present, the war in the Central Plains is still ongoing, Xia Houxuan, as a relative of the Great Han, with his talent and prestige, can help the Great Han appease the Central Plains as soon as possible.

Then, Liu Chan drew up a pen and appointed Guan Xing to choose Cao Shangshu, and Xia Houxuan also led Duzhi Shangshu.In the past, the Shangshu Order and the election of Cao Shangshu had a lot of power. Now Liu Chan is not going to give Xiahouxuan the personnel power, but let Xiahouxuan take charge of the finances, which can be regarded as restraining Xiahouxuan's power.

"Polish this imperial edict and order people to pass it on." Liu Chan said.

"No!" Fu Xuan accepted the edict and respectfully responded.

As the attendants were getting old, Liu Chan was also pursuing rejuvenation. After returning to China, he appointed Fu Xuan as the secretary, and he and Que Zheng were in charge of writing the imperial edict.

"Your Majesty, this is Du Taichang's posthumous title for Jiang Gong, do you need to discuss it?"

Liu Chan received the memorial and saw that Du Qiong had chosen "Gong" for Jiang Wan as his posthumous title.

Respectful, the deacon is solid, honorable, noble and righteous.Among the posthumous titles of civil servants, Gong is also a superior posthumous title.

"Yes! Press 'Gong' to pursue Jiang Qing's posthumous title." Liu Chan said.

"promise!"

After a pause, Liu Chan ordered: "Let Du Taichang compile the history for Ni Wei, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan, Liu Biao and other heroes of the late Han Dynasty as soon as possible, and record the past events of the heroes, and pass them down to future generations, so as to rectify the legal system of our great Han."

Liu Chan put Cao Wei into the ranks of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan, etc., and called them heroes, because he believed that Cao Wei did not belong to the orthodox dynasty. He was the same as Yuan Shu's separatist regime, except that Cao Wei existed for a longer time.

Now that Du Qiong is ordered to compile books for them, the main reason is to show that they are destroyed and cannot be restored. These things will eventually become historical issues.It also shows that the people of the world are told that the great man inherits the destiny and caresses the people, and that the great man will win the righteousness of the country, there is no doubt about it.

"No!" Fu Xuan replied.

Liu Chan continued to travel through the memorabilia, and saw that Fei Yi said that Youzhou is close to the frontier and should not be the same as the Central Plains and other counties. It is necessary to appoint a governor to be in charge of frontier affairs, and at the same time support Jiang Wei in the battle in Liaodong. He recommended Jingzhou Governor Lu Zhi as You State governor, in charge of frontier affairs.

Liu Chan pondered for a while and approved Fei Yi's memorial.Youzhou is different from the mainland, which can be directly under the central government from the central government to the county.But Youzhou is close to the border, especially the Xianbei forces in the northern border of Youzhou should not be underestimated, and a unified command is still needed.

At the same time, Liu Chan also appointed Huangfulong as the governor of Jingzhou, taking over Lu Zhi's duties.

Huangfulong, descendant of the Huangfu family in Anding County, was proficient in political affairs. During his tenure as the prefect of Dunhuang, he vigorously developed agriculture and taught him how to make columbine plows and waterwheels.Now that the war in the Central Plains is about to end, sending him to Jingzhou will help Jingzhou restore its former prosperity.

Putting down his pen, Liu Chan took a few sips of water and asked, "How is the war in Henan?"

"Your Majesty, General Hussars led his troops to the south, broke through Qiaojun and Chenjun, and marched towards Huainan County in Yangzhou. Wu and Yue have also sent troops to Lu'an and Hefei. Maybe they will be able to fight with our army soon. Meet outside Shouchun City." Quezheng replied.

Liu Chan nodded slightly, and said, "Order Huo Yi to put down the war in Henan as soon as possible before winter."

"promise!"
