Xuande

Chapter 376
Zhang Rang's opinion made Liu Hong very helpless.

"Is this already the best strategy?"

Zhang Rang nodded helplessly.

"From the current point of view, there is really no better choice, unless His Majesty decides to pay."

It is impossible to pay money, it is impossible to pay money in this life, it is his own money, he can use it for his own enjoyment, how can he use it to deal with state affairs and those insects?

Even in addition to the money, who knows how much that money will be embezzled by the insects?
Rounding up, isn't it equivalent to using his money to feed those greedy insects?

He is not willing to do such a thing.

So Liu Hong half leaned on the cushion, frowned and thought hard for a while, then his brows relaxed, and he lay down on the cushion.

"Forget it, I'm tired, I really don't have the energy to think about these things, just follow what he said, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou, the three prefectures."

"Then, who is the candidate?"

Zhang Rang asked: "You must be cautious about the candidates for the state pastor. Who does your majesty think can be the state pastor?"

"Liu Yan's words are convincing. He must be counted as one. There are not many reliable elders in my clan. The most trustworthy one is Liu Yu, and he is also one."

Liu Hong counted with his fingers, and said slowly: "It seems that only the two of them have high morals and seniority, and the rest...Grandpa, what do you think of Huang Wan?"

"Huang Wan?"

Zhang Rang frowned and said: "This person is too close to Mrs. Yang, and has always been at odds with us. From the standpoint of the Modern Literature School, he has never been willing to consider for His Majesty. How could His Majesty think of him? "

"Isn't Yuan Shi aggressive?"

Liu Hong said dissatisfied: "Of course I don't like him, but besides him, there is no better candidate. It seems that Lu Zhi can't fight against Yuan Kui anymore. Yang Biao is still keeping his filial piety. I remember this Huang Wan is quite Capable, if he can make some achievements in the post of state pastor, I can take advantage of the opportunity to promote him to fight against Yuan Kai after he comes back, right?"

Zhang Rang suddenly realized.

"Your Majesty is thoughtful, and the old minister admires you."

"Okay, okay, there's no point in saying this."

Liu Hong shook his head: "I'm very satisfied that they can quell these rebellions. I don't dare to count on something like Xuande. Alas, if Xuande is here, I won't be so worried. Grandpa, what do you say?" When will Xuande come back?"

Zhang Rang shook his head.

"What he is doing now is the most meaningful thing to you, and if you let him come back, all previous efforts will be in vain."

"……………………"

Liu Hong's body was limp on the ground, and he let out a long sigh.

"Xuande, Xuande, why is there only one Xuande!"

Liu Hong has been struggling with this question countless times, and Zhang Rang has no way to answer it.

The news that Liu Yan visited Liu Hong and asked Lizhou Mu to solve the problem quickly spread. Many courtiers heard about this matter, and there were many discussions about it.

After the waiter Dong Fu heard about this incident, he decisively decided to visit Liu Yan.

Liu Yan heard that Dong Fu was coming to visit him, so he went out to greet him in person.

As a descendant of the clan and the position of Jiuqing, Liu Yan was higher than Dong Fu in terms of official position, but when Dong Fu came to visit, he had to go out to greet him in person and put on a low profile.

The reason is simple, Dong Fu is a celebrity in the world, and he is 80 years old this year.

In this country that respects the old and loves the young, and in this era when the average life expectancy is extremely low, it is a very remarkable thing to be able to live to be 80 years old, not to mention that the person who lived to be 80 years old is still famous all over the world Confucianists and prophecies.

He is a native of Yizhou. Because he lived a long life, he was raised to a level that is beyond the reach of the world. He refused to be recruited by the imperial court ten times.

Even Liu Hong has to be polite in front of him.

He himself is well-known for his study of Confucian classics, and he is also famous for his studies of prophecy and weft. Many disciples follow him to study.

It is difficult for modern people to understand why the theory of prophecy had such a market at that time. A vague sentence of "the one who replaced the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gaoye" can attract the attention of the whole world, and even the founding emperor Liu Xiu has to personally defend the prophecy. position of the doctrine.

If there is something good at the top, the people below will naturally follow.

Not to mention that Liu Xiu believed in the prophecy to the point that ministers who did not believe in the prophecy would be demoted. It was quite the posture of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposing a hundred schools of thought to only respect Confucianism.

The founding emperor believed it so much, and the theory of prophecy and weft naturally became popular in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

A large number of magicians based on prophecy came into being. The Eastern Han Dynasty, which was disturbed by all kinds of prophecies, would not be peaceful even after death, and later generations debated it endlessly.

True and false, false and true, whether these things are true or false, has no meaning to today's people, but to ancient people, prophecy can change their destiny.

So Liu Yan was very happy when Dong Fu came to visit.

Carefully helping Dong Fu to sit down, Liu Yan hurriedly asked someone to pour water for Dong Fu. After Dong Fu took a sip of water, Liu Yan cautiously asked Dong Fu why he came.

"What are you here for?"

"I heard that Jun Lang suggested to His Majesty the Emperor to restore the state pastoral system?"

Dong Fu didn't speak out, but instead asked about Liu Yan.

Liu Yan didn't find it strange at all, it was strange that Dong Fu held the position of servant and didn't know about it.

"Exactly, what do Mr. Dong think?"

"I don't know if Junlang has imagined that he will also be appointed as the governor of the state?"

Dong Fu looked at Liu Yan with a smile.

Liu Yan's face froze, and he said cautiously: "Did Mr. Dong foresee it?"

Dong Fu shook his head.

"It's just a guess, and I think it's very possible. I don't know if Jun Lang has thought about it. If he is the state shepherd, which state's state shepherd is the best?"

"which one……"

Liu Yan pursed his lips, and said slowly: "If I were to, I would choose to ask the imperial court to be the Jiaozhi Shepherd, so as to protect myself and my family. The world is in turmoil, and I don't know when it will be my head."

"Cochin shepherd?"

Dong Fu asked with a smile: "What's so good about cochin? It's hot, miasmatic, and uncivilized. The tax in a state is not as good as that in some big counties in the Central Plains. What's the use of it?"

"what?"

Liu Yan was very surprised.

He didn't expect Dong Fu to say that.

"Dong Gong means..."

"In the land of Yizhou, there are thousands of miles of fertile soil inside, and there are dangerous mountains and rivers outside. Although the population is not as large as that in the Central Plains, it is much more than Jiaozhi. The roads are difficult and the traffic is blocked. No matter what happens, the court cannot quickly get back Know."

Dong Fu grinned, and the smile was actually a bit mischievous: "Jun Lang, do you know that I watched the sky last night and found that there are..."

Dong Fu beckoned Liu Yan to come over with his ear, Liu Yan stretched out his ear in a daze, and Dong Fu said in a very low voice: "Yizhou has the spirit of emperor."

!!!

Son of heaven? !

Liu Yan's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at Dong Fu in disbelief.

Dong Fu is a world-renowned fortune-telling magician and divination expert, and he will never talk nonsense to smash his own brand.

Could it be said that the division of Yizhou really has the spirit of emperors, and in the future, emperors will be born in Yizhou?

Doesn't that mean...

and many more.

Liu Yan suddenly reacted.

Dong Fu specially ran over to tell himself that Yizhou has the emperor's spirit, it seems that it is not just for this purpose, it seems that there is some other meaning in it, right?
Even if you want to say it, you should say it to the present day instead of yourself, right?

What does he mean?
Are you trying to persuade me to go to Yizhou?

Liu Yan was a little confused for a moment, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Dong Fu's gourd, looking at Dong Fu who was still smiling mischievously, Liu Yan asked in a low voice: "Dong Gong said, is it true?"
