Chapter 204 The Eastern Han Dynasty is not dead, the law of heaven is intolerable
Liu Hong originally planned to spend this cold winter in Wenrou Township, but he was forced by the chaos in Liangzhou to leave Rurou Township to deal with the emergency military situation, which made him very annoyed.

He was very cruel to Zuo Chang at the military meeting, directly resigned from his post, and was sentenced to death in prison. Then he asked the courtiers to recommend more outstanding officials to serve as the governor of Liangzhou to stabilize the situation.

At that time, only Liu Bei, in his capacity as Yilang, suggested that the imperial court select good generals to lead the army into Liangzhou to suppress the rebellion, because he believed that the rebel army had become a general trend, and the connection between Qiang and Hu might not be something that the local government in Liangzhou could solve.

After Liu Bei put forward this suggestion, Yilang Cao Cao also agreed with Liu Bei's suggestion and kept pace with Liu Bei.

But except for the two of them, almost everyone believed that the chaos in Liangzhou was more serious in Jincheng County, and not so serious in other places, and it was not an unmanageable situation.

Taiwei Yang Ci's health recovered a bit, and he criticized Liu Bei in the court hall, and even sneered at his suggestions. How much.

The Han-Qiang war dragged on for a long time, almost emptied the treasury of the imperial court, had to impose a large amount of taxes, and almost impoverished the people, so the Liangzhou rebellion was barely suppressed.

If the fight starts again now, is it going to break the court?
What's more, the imperial court had just put down the Taipingdao Rebellion at the beginning of the year, and now is the time to spend money. If the army is sent to Liangzhou at this time, the imperial court's finances will be unsustainable.

"Among the rebels are not only Qianghu, but also locals who are not loyal to the court. If they cannot immediately win a decisive victory in Jincheng County with a thunderous force, the local people who are dissatisfied with the court will feel that the court is weak and powerless. Put down the rebellion.

Once the local people think this way, they will inevitably lean more and more toward the rebels, and more and more will join the rebels. The rebels will become more and more powerful, and by then, the situation will be even worse. "

Liu Bei didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Is it really possible?
No matter what Liu Bei thought in his heart, Liu Hong felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

Liu Bei felt helpless.

Liu Bei ignored Yang Ci and just suggested this to Liu Hong.

After he dealt with it, he felt that he needed to ask Liu Hong for instructions, but Liu Hong said that he believed that Liu Bei could handle it well, and he could just make a direct decision, and he didn't need to discuss it with him if it was not an urgent matter.

Then the rebellion naturally died down.

Treating the country with such a frivolous attitude, Liu Bei had no choice but to say - you are worthy of it.

The development of things afterwards did not exceed Liu Bei's expectations.

Even if I can make a decision, can an official of my level be responsible for it?
However, Liu Hong felt very relieved about this. He believed in Liu Bei, so he lent his name to Liu Bei and let Liu Bei handle state affairs on his behalf.

Although he felt that what Liu Bei said was reasonable, his laziness still prevailed, so he chose to adopt Yang Ci's suggestion.

When Liu Bei knew about this, he was deeply shocked.

He's about to start enjoying it.

So that month, until Yuan Kui first recovered from his illness and returned to the court, the person who actually held power in the Luoyang court was actually Liu Bei, the little minister, who shot Zuo Cheng.

Under the struggle between Yang Ci and Yuan Kui in the matter of selecting and appointing officials, Yang Ci still gained the upper hand by taking advantage of the superiority of the Modern Literature School in high-level politics.

Liu Hong hesitated again and again. Originally he wanted to support Liu Bei's opinion, but after thinking about it, he felt that sending troops into Liangzhou was too much work and cost too much, so he was a bit reluctant.

After thinking about it, he gave up continuing to persuade, but complimented Liu Hong and said what he liked to hear.

Liu Hong was overjoyed, and rewarded Liu Bei with a bunch of antique books.

He recommended an upright Confucian official named Song Xiao to be the governor of Liangzhou, hoping to solve the Liangzhou rebellion in a more straightforward way and solve all this quickly.

Afterwards, Liu Hong was worried that Liu Bei was dissatisfied, so he specially summoned Liu Bei to appease him, and said that if he failed this time, he would definitely listen to Liu Bei next time.

He also believed in Liu Bei, so he decided to hand over Shangshutai to Liu Bei.

"Xuande, I know that you are dedicated to the country, and I also know that you are dedicated to me, but I am very satisfied with the current situation. The situation in Liangzhou may not be worse. Let's take it slowly."

I believe you.

He is more inclined to leave the rest of the work to the person he thinks is right, and then he can sit back and enjoy it.

So he decided to enjoy it first, and then leave the important things to those who believe in it.

Liu Hong patted Liu Bei on the shoulder: "I plan to promote you as Shangshu Pushe in the next year, and further control the entire affairs of Shangshutai for me. Even if your teacher comes back, you will still be the chief officer of Shangshutai. At that time, your teacher will control military affairs for me, and you will control government affairs for me, so I can sit back and relax, right?"

"As far as I know, people in Liangzhou seldom study Confucian classics, so they always start rebellions. Now I want every household in Liangzhou to copy the "Book of Filial Piety". Maybe this will help everyone understand the principles of morality. The rebellion naturally disappeared."

He believed in Zhang Rang, so he gave Zhang Rang a lot of power.

Then he left.

Whenever Liu Bei wanted to report the government affairs to Liu Hong, Liu Hong did not refuse, but just leaned on the cushion and asked the maid to massage him, feed him fruit, squint his eyes and rest his mind, looking careless.

But the old fellow was more pious than honest.

"Xuande, you will be responsible for the next thing, I know everything, you can figure it out, I trust you."

Liu Bei was speechless.

but……

lazy!
He knows how to do a lot of things rightly, and even tries to do it and sees good results, but it won't be long before he doesn't do it.

During Yuan Kui and Yang Ci's illness, Liu Bei not only accompanied his family, but also worked at Shangshutai, and began to deal with some important things that he had not been able to touch in the past.

After he arrived in Liangzhou, facing the chaos in Liangzhou, he said something to Gai Xun who was in urgent need of financial and military support from Luoyang, which almost made Gai Xun faint.

Select a more excellent governor of Liangzhou to take an overview of the situation in Liangzhou, use the local power of Liangzhou to destroy the rebels, and end this rebellion. Try not to use Luoyang's power.

After Liu Bei finished his report, he nodded and said yes a few times, wondering if he had heard the matter in his heart.

To be honest, it is very exciting, very tiring, very fulfilling and very refreshing.

He worked for a period of time to get in touch with Taixue students and strive to become an academic opinion leader, and achieved good results, and then stopped doing so.

Liu Bei is more and more aware that Liu Hong is neither stupid nor stupid, nor does he lack the desire for power and the pursuit of status, but he also has a very important characteristic.

He also achieved good results by paying close attention to the struggle between the modern school of literature and the ancient literature school and making fine-tuning to maintain balance, and then he was not very willing to do it.

He believes that this country does not belong to him alone, so it is not only him who should work hard, but everyone needs to work hard together. Diligence alone is not enough.

The piety of a believer.

Good guy, this devout Confucian believer actually directly skipped the process of "Canglinshi" and tried to use the "Book of Filial Piety" to make people understand in an instant. The meaning of "filial piety" is immediately transformed into a filial son.

He doesn't think it's bad, but that what he has done is enough, and he doesn't want to pursue more. He feels that he is satisfied and the country has become very good.

Can national affairs really be left to me to decide?
I'm only 24 years old.

Liu Bei was speechless.

"Your Majesty, important military affairs, the place of life and death, the way of life and death, must be investigated. How can there be a next time?"

He originally thought that after Wang Mang's death, there should be no such original idealistic Confucian scholars. Wang Mang's death was so miserable that everyone should have seen the fineness of original ecological idealist Confucianism.

In the end, there was still such a person, and he didn't know what happened, but he became the governor of a state!
The Eastern Han Dynasty will not perish, the heavens will not tolerate it...
