Xuande

Chapter 226 Liangzhou!

After learning about Han Sui, Zhou Shen's autism ended.

He left the general's tent, held the knife and stared, as if he really wanted to kill Han Sui on the spot to prove that he was not an idiot, but a man of courage.

Although this approach is also a behavior unique to idiots in Liu Bei's view.

Liu Bei dissuaded him and told him that the slaughter of Han Sui would be handed over to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Because Han Sui and others invaded You Fufeng and disturbed the mausoleums of the former emperors of the Han Dynasty, the crime was extremely heinous, and His Majesty the Emperor had to deal with them personally, so as to "comfort the ancestors".

Zhou Shen suddenly realized, put down the knife, and said that Liu Bei still thinks more.

Then Zhou Shen began to praise Liu Bei's military exploits, he praised Liu Bei, and Liu Bei himself was a little embarrassed when he praised him, and then Zhou Shen changed the subject, and what he said began to be a little interesting.

"Xuande has made several great achievements this time. Such contributions will definitely be rewarded generously. Xuande is already the Marquis of Dukangting. I guess that this time Xuande can at least be promoted to the title of a township lord. If His Majesty favors you, the county Hou is also possible."

"If that's the case, then it's the emperor's grace, and the ancestors have blessed you."

Liu Bei chuckled.

Zhou Shen also chuckled.

"Naturally, the title is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the official position. Xuande previously served in Shangshutai, and then transferred to the captain of the cavalry. With Xuande's achievements in beheading the general and capturing the flag, Xuande thought that, Can I get any job?"

This is indeed a problem.

According to Liu Hong's previous explanation to Liu Bei, he seems to be interested in Liu Bei's ability to handle government affairs and solve troubles, and wants to keep Liu Bei by his side, handle specific affairs for him at Shangshutai, and share his worries, so he belongs to the civil service.

But now that Liu Bei has made very important military achievements, it is of little significance to continue to be promoted in Shangshutai. The highest rank of Shangshu Ling is only a thousand stone position, which is the same level as the county magistrate of a large county.

The military achievements made by Liu Bei are at least worthy of the position of two thousand stones, which generally belong to the ranks of Jiuqing, county guards, and generals.

So Liu Bei really didn't know what Liu Hong was thinking.

However, according to the previous practice, Liu Bei believed that Liu Hong would communicate with himself before making a specific appointment, and understand his thoughts a little bit.

This is a good habit of Liu Hong. He values ​​himself, so he is more willing to consider his own ideas and respect others.

Although this guy is greedy, in terms of being a leader, it is still very interesting to trust someone he trusts.

But speaking of it, Liu Bei has thought a lot about this matter.

Whether it is sent to the outside world or stay in the central government, it cannot deviate from his current established route, which is to set the inevitable chaos within a controllable range, and not allow the chaos to directly go out of control and become a chaotic world.

There can be chaos, but chaos is not what Liu Bei wants to see.

Up to now, Liu Bei has determined his goal, which is to seek control of the central government of Luoyang after Liu Hong's death, to gain control of the highest power in the dangerous process of wrestling among eunuchs, foreign relatives, and scholars, and to physically Get rid of those dross.

Liu Hong will eventually die, and his two sons are not old enough to be able to govern in person. Whoever can win the political struggle will gain real central power.

In order to obtain such power, reputation and strength alone are not enough, but also tangible and convincing achievements.

In this way, some difficulties in the early stage of the upper ranks can be somewhat reduced, and other forces that cannot be eradicated in a short while can be subdued.

In order to achieve such achievements, the best way is to get a chance to be in charge of one side before Liu Hong's death, and to manage the local area properly, so as to prove that he has enough ruling ability to govern the local area and can be independent.

In this way, even if one's age does not have an advantage, he can still conquer the hearts of some people who do not desire chaos with practical achievements.

And by doing this, he can also take the opportunity to cultivate the forces he has drawn together, experience it, and determine a division between upper and lower ranks, so as to prepare for taking over the Luoyang court in the future.

Whether it is your own military team or political team, you still need a formal occasion to practice and be familiar with the ruling process.

After all, the political struggle between the Modern Literature School and the Ancient Literature School has entered a stage of normalization, and Yang Ci’s health seems to be very problematic. Once Yang Ci dies, the Modern Literature School will have no leader, and it will inevitably enter a political trough.

At such a stage, it doesn't matter whether he stays in Luoyang or not. If he stays in Luoyang and continues to do things, the Jinwen School will collapse.

As long as he can return to Luoyang through operation before Liu Hong dies, that's enough.

After confirming this future plan, Liu Bei realized that the biggest problem now is how to persuade Liu Hong and how to convey to Liu Hong his idea of ​​wanting to be in power.

Based on his current position in Liu Hong's heart, it is estimated that Liu Hong would rather make himself a heavy general than let him leave Luoyang.

There must be a legitimate reason that is passable, a legitimate reason that Liu Hong cannot ignore.

Moreover, how to choose the region that governs one side, and how to obtain specific positions are also problems.

Liu Bei shook his head and sighed.

"These things mainly depend on how the court and His Majesty look at them. I'd better follow the arrangements of the court and Your Majesty."

Zhou Shen listened and smiled.

"Xuande made such a great contribution, the court and His Majesty will definitely think about it more. I just wait for Xuande to be in a high position and get closer."

The meaning of Zhou Shen's words is very clear, and it is not difficult to guess at all.

But you, a guy who wants to cut off half of my life-saving army, is actually telling me this now, you have no impression of this, have you?
Liu Bei resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and smiled kindly at Zhou Shen.

"that's for sure."

"Hahahahaha!"

Zhou Shen was very happy and laughed.

After laughing, Zhou Shen seemed to be a little emotional about the current situation.

"Although we have won this battle and severely damaged the rebel army, in my opinion, the rebel army has not yet reached the point of destruction. The large-scale Qiang and Hun rebel army still exists. It is extremely difficult to eliminate them."

Liu Bei nodded slowly.

"The rebel lair in Jincheng County has not yet been conquered, and the Qiang and Huns in Longxi County seem to have retreated temporarily, and their vitality has not been seriously injured. In addition, there are many Qiang tribes in the west, as well as local people with evil intentions. If the situation can be stabilized a little, then it may take a long time to adjust.”

"Yes."

Zhou Shen smiled and said: "Liangzhou, logically speaking, shouldn't be a desolate place. Emperor Xiaowu spent so much time in opening up Liangzhou and the Western Regions, and his intentions should be very far-reaching. If Liangzhou can be governed well, It is also of great benefit to the big man.

It's a pity that since this dynasty, there have been few days when Liangzhou can be governed well. The Qiang people, Huns, and miscellaneous Hus in Liangzhou, who refuse to obey discipline, are against the officials of the Han Dynasty everywhere. The state is really impatient.

I am very pessimistic about the future of Liangzhou. The imperial court is unwilling to spend time and money in Liangzhou, but if you don’t spend time and money, Liangzhou will not be well governed. As a result, the situation in Liangzhou will only become more chaotic every day Even if our army wins a complete victory this time, Liangzhou will still be in chaos within ten years. "

Zhou Shen has no intention of speaking, but Liu Bei has intention of listening.

The imperial court didn't care about Liangzhou.

The imperial court hated Liangzhou.

The imperial court was very disgusted with the constant wars in Liangzhou.

The imperial court did not want to spend more money and thoughts on Liangzhou.

The imperial court even prepared to abandon Liangzhou twice, and there were even many people who supported it.

Liangzhou people are second-class citizens in the whole Han Dynasty. The demons and monsters of the Luoyang court have no core interests in Liangzhou, and have nothing to do with Liangzhou people, and even have anything to do with Liangzhou people. A fatal thing.

Although Liu Hong, a man who loves money like his life, doesn't want to give up Liangzhou, he obviously won't be willing to continue spending too much money for Liangzhou. His dislike for Liangzhou is beyond words. Ling, he will not send troops to fight at all.

and so……

Liangzhou...

Liangzhou! ! !

A bold idea gradually took shape in Liu Bei's mind.
