Great Military Division

Chapter 268 Liu Bian ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor!Three edicts, highlighting the pattern of the new dynasty!

Huh?
Zhang Miao, who was fleeing with his horse, suddenly felt something was wrong.

The sound of fighting behind him seemed to have undergone a qualitative change.

Glance back.

but see
Fewer and fewer soldiers fled, and many soldiers even turned around and rushed back.

Zhang Miao was very surprised, he reined in his horse and turned around, looking around.

Only then did I discover that the situation of the battle had miraculously reversed, the torrent of smoke and dust disappeared, and instead of thousands of horses and horses, they were replaced by their own soldiers and horses.

What the hell!

What happened?
Zhang Miao couldn't believe his eyes.

He rubbed his eyes hard, and when the blurred vision gradually became clear, the scene in front of him was still the same, which proved that it was not an illusion, but a real shocking reversal of the battle situation.

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Miao raised his head to the sky and let out a maniacal laugh, and suddenly he was full of fighting spirit: "Heaven help me!"

drive-!
At that moment, he rode his horse straight to the battlefield, pointed the long sword in his hand angrily, and shouted sharply: "All the soldiers obey the order, charge up, kill Xia Houyuan, and chop him into pieces!"

Seeing Zhang Miao turning back to fight back, the original defeated army immediately became bolder. One by one, each of them carried their weapons, turned around and rushed to the battlefield, howling and rushing forward, like a group of vengeful wolves.

"kill-!"

The sound was like a bell, and it sounded like a thunder.

The encirclement became thicker and thicker, and the hundreds of soldiers and horses inside were gradually eaten away.

Zhang Miao was in a good mood and raised his eyes to look into the encirclement.

but see
A tiger general holding a pair of iron halberds was fighting fiercely with three fierce generals, moving around without losing the slightest bit of wind.

Zhang Miao couldn't help being surprised, pointing to the two iron halberd tiger generals and shouting loudly: "Whose general is this man, so brave?"

Army Sima Zhao Chong rushed forward, nodded and bowed: "My lord, he is a subordinate of the last general, called Dian Wei, with unstoppable courage."

Dian Wei?

Zhang Miao secretly wrote down the name.

With one's own strength, fight fiercely against the three generals of the enemy army without losing the wind!
With such a strong general to help, why worry about not being able to achieve great things?

Zhang Miao was ecstatic in his heart, and shouted sharply: "Quick, let's go together, and kill all these bandits here, not one left!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill!"

The rich shouts of killing reverberated all over the field and spread in all directions.

but
The sky does not follow people's wishes, and the good times don't last long.

Not far away, there was another smoke and dust, overwhelming the sky.

Zhang Miao raised his eyes and stared. Although he seemed relatively calm, he still ordered sharply: "Where is Wu Hao? Quickly send someone to investigate. What is the smoke and dust in front of you?"

Chen Liudu Lieutenant Wu Hao nodded, promised, and immediately dispatched soldiers and horses to investigate in the direction of the smoke and dust.

It didn't take long.

"Report—!"

Not far away, there was a quick report.

Zhang Miao looked up.

But seeing that his own scouts came in a hurry, their expressions were extremely flustered, and they didn't even care about saluting, so they raised their fingers and pointed in the direction where the smoke and dust came, and exhaled and said:
"My lord, something is wrong."

"It's all about it"

Zhang Miao was angry and interrupted sharply: "What are all of them?"

The scout gasped: "Cavalry!"

"what?"

Zhang Miao was stunned, raised his eyes to stare, and observed carefully.

In the billowing torrent of smoke and dust, there is a faint big flag fluttering in the wind, with a yellow background, making the black "Cao" character particularly eye-catching.

It is none other than Cao Cao!
hiss-!
Zhang Miao couldn't help gasping, his scalp felt numb and his back felt cold.

It turned out that the torrent of smoke and dust did not disappear, but changed direction and outflanked it from the other side.

"Damn!"

Zhang Miao secretly chewed, and the confidence he had built up collapsed again.

In the wilderness, cavalry is king!
How could he not know this.

Now!

Zhang Miao didn't dare to hesitate, so he reined in his horse and turned around again, shouting at the top of his voice, "The bandits' reinforcements have arrived, the three armies retreat quickly to Fugou County!"

"Quick retreat—!"

One command.

The peripheral soldiers stared first.

The billowing smoke and dust are still there, constantly approaching.

The rumbling sound of the ground continued one after another and intensified, as if it was right under your feet.

"This time it's real, this time it's real, run away!"

"Brothers, go!"

"It's too late."

"Quick retreat—!"

"."

The outer soldiers fled, causing the inner soldiers to shake.

Such a turbulent scene caught Xia Houyuan's attention.

He hurriedly raised his eyes to look around, and suddenly found the military flag with the word "Cao" approaching, and he was ecstatic in his heart: "Brother, the reinforcements from our captain have arrived, and we are saved."

puff!
Pan Zhang shot a soldier to death. Taking this opportunity, he sneaked a peek and saw that the torrent was constantly approaching. The enemy troops on the periphery had already begun to be defeated, and the balance of victory was tilted again.

"Too timely!"

Pan Zhang was ecstatic and full of energy.

He held up the big gun in his palm, and kept swaying it left and right, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Brothers, hold on, Cao Duwei recruits reinforcements to support our army, and our army is about to win a big victory!"

"Brothers, hold on, Captain Cao"

"."

Cheng Li, Chen Gong and others also felt a sudden drop in pressure, and felt a little more at ease.

But looking back and looking around, the servants beside him died in battle one after another, so far, there are very few left.

Even Liang Dong, Li Feng and others had died tragically under the onslaught of the enemy.

When the tide receded, only half of those still insisted on fighting fiercely.

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Fei was greatly surprised by the reversal of the situation, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Thieves, I want to see this time, how do you escape?"

Dian Wei also sensed that something was wrong, and secretly chewed it out: "Son Zhang Miao, it's not enough and tricky."

Dare not have the slightest hesitation.

Dian Wei swung his halberd at Liu Bei, who was weaker, and while drawing Guan Yu to his side to rescue him, he swayed sideways, protruding from his weak point of defense, as if he was about to flee.

"Thief, where are you going?"

Zhang Fei jumped on the horse with his spear straightened, and he was full of energy. Just as he was about to rein the reins and clamp the horse's belly, a small halberd roared from the sky, like a shooting star, and went straight to his face.

"what-!"

Zhang Fei was startled, subconsciously turned his body sharply, and at the same time drew his spear back, facing the whistling halberd, he saw the opportunity and slashed at it.

clang!
A crisp sound.

The halberd fell to the ground.

But looking up, Dian Wei has already run dozens of steps away, the speed is so fast, it is simply speechless: "Wu that thief, you can run faster than a horse."

Looking at the figure rushing into the defeated army, even Liu Bei himself couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "There are so many strange people in the world, but it's a pity that Dong Zhuo is at the mercy of me, and I am a big man."

"Brother doesn't have to be like this."

Guan Yu stroked his long beard, but he was full of confidence: "A chivalrous man always has the idea of ​​serving the country. I think this person is only temporarily deceived. I believe that he will wake up soon and abandon the darkness and turn to the light."

Liu Bei sighed: "I hope so."

*****
Nanyang, Wancheng.

There are many swords and guns, and there are many swords and halberds.

There are tiger warriors stationed at the four gates of the city, and each of them stands proudly in strong clothes.

In the streets of the city, there is a post at five steps and a sentry at ten steps. Soldiers cleared the streets and were heavily guarded.

At this moment, the emperor's palace.

The tiger and ben warrior stood with a knife in his arms, with his head held high and his chest held high, not angry but arrogant.

Follow the etiquette process of the enthronement ceremony.

On the day of enthronement, the whole city was on guard, especially the guards on the city gates and palace gates.

Inside the palace.

Standing in the east, Liu Bian is wearing a twelve-pronged crown, a twelve-striped crown, a thin jade belt, and bare feet. Standing there, he looks majestic and majestic.

"The auspicious time has come—!"

Taichang Shizi shouted loudly.

The next moment, Taiwei Yang Biao unfolded the silk script and read aloud: "The Taibao ordered Zhonghuan and Nangong Maobiyuan Qihou Lv Ji to fight outside the south gate with two gangs and a hundred people against Zizhao."

"."

Taichang Shizi shouted loudly: "Yes!"

Immediately.

Taiwei Yang Biao stepped forward, ascended the hall from the zuò steps, and then read the policy article: "In the sixth year of Zhongping, on the thirteenth Wuwu day of the fourth month of summer, the eldest son of the emperor was enthroned as emperor."

"."

"The treacherous official Dong Zhuo entered the capital. After the emperor was abolished and killed, he was replaced by Chenliu. He poisoned the world and dominated the court. As a result, people's grievances boiled, people and gods were all angry, the Han Dynasty was in turmoil, and the building was about to collapse."

"."

"However, the gods have the way, Your Highness You escaped from the predicament, escaped from Heluo, Wuwei Nanyang, the hometown of Wende Emperor, with mighty virtue, raised the banner of righteousness, raised up all the heroes, and the power of the gods shocked the world, and then the king's career was successful."

"."

"His Majesty's return to the throne with the jade seal is actually to obey the will of heaven and obey the hearts of the people. Your Majesty should inherit the fate of Yao and Shun, and follow the spirits. He will reign forever and all kingdoms.

After reading the policy article.

Taichang Shi Zixuan shouted loudly: "The ceremony of conferring the seal—!"

Immediately afterwards, Taiwei Yang Biao turned to the east, stepped forward, held the jade seal and ribbon with both hands, knelt down and bestowed upon Liu Bian: "Your Majesty, as the order of heaven, must create a Wansheng Dynasty."

Liu Bian took Yuxi and supported Yang Biao: "Aiqing is alive."

"The awarding of the seal is a success!"

"Long live my emperor—!"

Immediately.

Yang Biao personally supported Liu Bian and ascended to the supreme throne.

The ministers shouted again:

"Long live my emperor—!"

Tai Shitong had already prepared the Son of Heaven sword and waited aside.

Liu Bian put Yuxi on the dragon case, stood up, took the Tianzi sword, and handed it to Taiwei Yang Biao himself: "Wanwang Yang Gongcheng is diligent and diligent, assists me wholeheartedly, and rebuilds the universe of the Han Dynasty."

Yang Biao knelt down on one knee, took the Tianzi sword with both hands, and said sonorously: "How dare I not serve Your Majesty!"

The whole hall was so moved by civil and military officials, they once again shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor!"

Taichang Shi Zixuan shouted loudly: "The enthronement ceremony is now complete. The city gates and palace gates will be released from security, and it will resume as usual."

"The enthronement ceremony is now complete"

"."

A sound of orders extended out of the palace gate.

The soldiers of each army returned in order, and Nanyang Wancheng returned to normal.

The scene of the enthronement ceremony also made the netizens in the live broadcast room overjoyed:

"Congratulations to Master Bian, he is returning to the palace, and his mouth is filled with rockets x 1w;"

"I wish the great Han Dynasty, the prosperity of the country and good luck!"

"Long live is too fake. I won't say it. I wish Lord Bian live to be a hundred years old. I will chase this drama for the rest of my life."

"However, this deity is uneducated, and the word 'beautiful' is popular in the world!"

"The new world pattern has kicked off, and my strong man will rule the world."

"Where the sun and the moon shine, and where the rivers and rivers go, are all Han soil!"

"The Great Han version of the empire on which the sun never sets will be just around the corner!"

"."

Just as the congratulatory speeches continued in the live broadcast room.

"Report—!"

"Good news—!"

Suddenly, a hurried announcement sounded outside the hall.

Liu Bian looked up.

However, the guard He Yun hurried up to the hall, with a smile on his face, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu in the Tang family's old house in Yan County."

"Ha ha!"

Liu Bian looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Okay! I knew that General Cao would live up to my high hopes. Today, when I return to the palace, there will be good news. This is a sign of the prosperity of the great man."

"Wen Ruo." Liu Bian waved his hand.

"Here." Xun Yu nodded.

Immediately.

He took a step forward, unfolded the imperial edict in his hand, and read aloud: "The Han Dynasty suffered a catastrophe, and the treacherous ministers brought disaster to the country! Today, with the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, I return to the palace and change the Yuan Dynasty to Zhongxing. Consolation to the people!"

""Shangshu" says: One person has a celebration, and the people of the people depend on it. Today, the whole country celebrates together, and the whole world enjoys it. We should amnesty the world and start with it. All soldiers and civilians deeply understand my intentions."

For those who ascend the throne and proclaim themselves emperor, the first imperial edict is all about amnesty for the world, so as to bring peace to the people.

Naturally, Liu Bian was no exception, so he ordered Xun Yu to write this edict and read it in court.

but
Liu Bian frowned slightly, and asked secretly: "Teacher, I remember you told me that the new emperor is usually 'Jianyuan' immediately, and only when you want to transfer in the middle, you will use the word 'Change Yuan'." , did Xun Yu make a mistake?"

"no!"

The Alliance of Military Advisors immediately explained: "Master Bian, you have already ascended the throne and proclaimed yourself emperor. This time, you are only returning to the palace with the Jade Seal of Chuanguo. In name, you are not actually enthroned as the new emperor."

"Your initial year name was 'Yonghan', so now Xun Yu uses 'Gaiyuan' instead of 'Jianyuan'. In a sense, Xun Yu's use of such words is telling Chang'an Hanting, Do not recognize the legitimacy of your abolition of the emperor."

Liu Bian suddenly realized: "It turns out that this is the case. Xun Yu really has a heart. He grasped the small details very well. If Dong Zhuo knew the content of the edict, he would definitely be furious."

"kindness."

The military division alliance followed: "This was originally Xun Yu's counterattack against Chang'an Hanting. Although we will not start a war with profit, it does not mean that we cannot use political means to fight back."

"The new emperor and the new dynasty will naturally have a brand-new atmosphere. How can they be left at the mercy of the Chang'an court? Xun Yu's counterattack is to overwhelm the old Chang'an court in terms of momentum and elevate the political status of the new court."

Wang Zuozhi is talented!

Sure enough.

Some things can be perfect without Liu Bian's reminder.

Liu Bian was very satisfied with Xun Yu's work ability.

follow closely.

Xun Yu put away the first edict, and took out the second edict: "It is difficult for a single tree to grow into a forest, and it is difficult to make applause. The prosperity of the Han Dynasty cannot be done by myself. Now, with the spirit of heaven, I am returning to the palace, and I want to rule the world with a tripod." , To rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, it is necessary for the sages and bureaucrats to work together."

"."

"I will announce to the world today that I will know what I want, and that those who have a jade in their hands will be sent to the bus office to prepare for the exam. Those who are outstanding will be selected as officials in the court, and they will participate in major events with me, and rebuild the prosperous world."

This second edict is the "Decree of Seeking Talents".

Now that the imperial court is in urgent need of talents, it is natural to give them some opportunities to enter the court as officials and participate in major events together.

more importantly.
Now that the new government is short of people, the gentry all over the world have come to ask for officials.

For the experts of the Military Division Alliance, this is the most fair and just opportunity to promote talents, and it is also an opportunity to promote the imperial examination, which can be used as a foreshadowing for the future selection of officials in the imperial examination.

Therefore, Liu Bian deliberately wrote in the imperial edict, "Send the bus office to prepare for the exam, select the outstanding ones, and enter the court as an official." If it is feasible this time, it will also be feasible next time. The germination of the imperial examination was carried out.

of course!

This is just the beginning. In the future, the Military Advisory Alliance will also limit the right to eliminate the three princes, improve the system of examination and selection of officials through the imperial examination, and strive to establish a system of selecting officials based on the imperial examination and supplemented by the examination within 5 to 10 years.

The second decree was read out.

immediately.

Xun Yu took out the third edict again, unfolded it, and read aloud: "Since I return to the palace, I should show grace to the people. From now on, the land tax will be abolished and the fixed tax will be changed to five liters per mu."

The Alliance of Military Advisors has carefully checked the yield per mu in Nanyang over the years. The average yield is more than five buckets for one shi, but less than two shi. According to the standard of one tax per [-], the tax per mu should be more than five liters and less than seven liters.

On the surface, it seems that this tax has not changed much, but in fact he just took the minimum value. As far as the enthusiasm of the people is concerned, the substantial increase is indeed a grace to the people.

but
The vast majority of the land is in the hands of the gentry. This third edict issued by Liu Bian is more of a means to win over the aristocratic clan than to give grace to the people.

Of course, this is just how it looks in the eyes of ordinary people, but in fact, the Military Division Alliance has secretly set up a killer move in it, and it won't take long before they will see it with a dagger and cut it with a knife.

Blessings come from misfortunes, and misfortunes depend on blessings!
From now on, Liu Bian's path of independence is truly on the agenda.

After retreating.

Wende Hall.

Liu Bian summoned Xun Yu, Xi Xian, and Zao Zhi to make the final entrustment: "Zi Jing."

Zaoyi took a step forward: "My minister is here."

"Agricultural production task responsibility letter, can it be signed layer by layer?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, it has been signed. Now the only thing that restricts the efficiency of farming is the cattle and farm tools. Everything else is ready. Your Majesty doesn't have to worry."

"kindness."

Liu Bian nodded and nodded: "That's very good. I have already handed over the farm tools to Wen Ruo. I will settle this matter privately. The farm tools from the Kong family's iron shop are enough for the time being."

"As for the rest, I will order the iron smelting workshop to expedite the smelting, and provide them in full and on time according to the progress we have made before. Don't worry."

Jujube made a bow and said, "Here."

follow.

Liu Bian turned to Xixian: "Zhicai."

Xi Xian bowed: "My minister is here."

"Today, the edict of seeking talents has been issued. From tomorrow onwards, the Public Transport Department will be very busy. This will be the focus of your work for a period of time in the future. As long as there are 100 people, there will be a centralized examination class."

"As for the question bank."

Liu Bian raised his finger and pointed to several bookshelves next to him, and said softly: "I have prepared by categories, please remember, for each exam, each category must be complete, at least two."

"Candidates who come to take the exam will do what they are good at. The test results are related to the future direction of the scholar, so remember to tell the candidates that they must be cautious. Once they fail the exam, they will not be allowed to take the exam again within the year."

Xi Xian turned his head to look at the rows of bookshelves, his eyes nearly popped out in fright: "Your Majesty, the books on these bookshelves are all exam questions?"

Liu Bian nodded affirmatively: "That's right! The average half-monthly assessment should be enough for you to use for at least a year, and it will never be repeated, in case candidates prepare answers in private."

Gollum—!
Xi Xian's throat rolled, he swallowed forcefully, and hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty has a good intention, and my humble minister will live up to his high expectations."

Liu Bian nodded slowly, and said in a soft voice: "Every time the candidate's roster is prepared, a copy must be prepared for me, and after the assessment is over, the results of each candidate must be recorded in the record."

After all, the examination questions this time are too extensive. Even if Xun Yu, Xi Xian and others are candidates, they may not be able to answer all of them correctly. Once candidates choose the wrong direction, their results will definitely not be satisfactory.

In this way, some famous talents in history may be buried. Liu Bian made such arrangements in order to make them stand out as much as possible and serve the court.

Xi Xian hurriedly made a bow, remembering in his heart: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will leave it to this humble minister."

Liu Bian reminded: "Zhicai, do you know why I asked you to be in charge of taking the exams?"

Xi Xian took a deep breath, and tried to guess: "Perhaps, it's because I came from a poor family, so I understand better the desire of the poor students for this opportunity."

"Yes."

Liu Bian nodded with great certainty: "It's precisely because of this! I'm the only one, regardless of background, to give the world's underprivileged students a chance and let them know that the new dynasty also has the opportunity to serve."

"but."

Speaking of this, Liu Bian kindly reminded: "I still want to remind you that as the chief officer of the examination and selection of scholars, you will face many temptations in the future. I hope you can get out of the mud without being stained, and keep your original aspirations, understand?" ?”

How could Xixian not know the deep meaning of Liu Bian's words, and immediately bowed his body and cupped his hands, promising: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will not be fooled by wine, sex and wealth, and I will be your Majesty to select learned talents for the court."

"kindness."

Only then did Liu Bian breathe out, waved his hands and said calmly, "I'm relieved that you can do this."

Turn your head.

Liu Bian's gaze fell on Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, you have the heaviest burden on you. Now that the court lacks officials, almost all the important responsibilities in the court are on you alone."

"I miss you very much."

Liu Bian's expression softened, and he spoke softly.

"Thank you for your love, Your Majesty."

Xun Yu bowed and saluted, and bowed: "Your Majesty still sleeps all day long and sleeps all night, let alone a minister? Government affairs are originally the duties of a humble minister, and a humble minister must do his best."

"kindness!"

Liu Bian took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly: "I'm so relieved that you can do this! Don't worry, once the officials are selected, I will take the lead in filling up the officials from Shangshutai to share part of the pressure for you."

"Now, the operation of our Hanting in Nanyang is all tied to you, Wen Ruo. I feel ashamed of you. Work hard. After this period of time, it will get better and better in the future."

Xun Yu was dripping with gratitude, clasped his fists again, and said sonorously, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will live up to my high expectations."

Liu Bian waved his hand to signal him to stand up, and said softly: "Taiwei Yang Biao has rich experience in court, you can ask him for advice if you need more advice, I will privately instruct him to help you a lot."

Xun Yu nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

　This chapter is too difficult to write!The contents of the three imperial edicts were exhausted, especially the "Decree of Seeking Talents", which was originally prepared with perfect content, but after repeated revisions, it still could not reach the expert level, so it was simply omitted in the end, so as not to make people laugh.
