I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 138 Xuande Enters Beijing

In the camp outside Guangzong City, an eunuch from Xiyuan came here with Liu Hong's handwriting.

Liu Jian sent someone to settle the angel, and then personally opened the secret letter given to him by the emperor.

Sure enough, as Liu Jian expected, it was Liu Hong who wrote to himself asking how to deal with Jizhou Mu, who is now under the watchful eye of the court officials.
On this matter, when Liu Jian was fighting the Yellow Turban, he had already started exchanging letters with Liu Yan to discuss.

After discussing with Dong Fu, Liu Jian wrote back to Liu Yan several times, and finally the two decided on a specific plan.

That is to advise Liu Hong that Sanbian Zhonglang will be the shepherd of Jizhou Sanbian.

The reason for doing this is mainly based on the fact that the matter is of great importance. To facilitate Liu Hong's establishment of the animal husbandry is only one of them, and the second is to let Liu Hong strengthen his trust in Liu's clan, especially Liu Jian and Liu Yan.

Without trust, even setting the precedent of Limu will not work.

Compared with those foreign surnames who coveted Jizhou Mu, Liu Jian and Liu Yan divided the power of Mu Shou into three, which was equivalent to indirectly showing their loyalty to Liu Hong.

They want Liu Hong to see that these imperial relatives are not selfish, and all their actions are for the sake of the great man wholeheartedly.

In Liu Jian's view, this Jizhou shepherd is just a test of the waters. Whether it is Huangfusong, Dong Zhuo, or Liu Jian, whoever is the Jizhou shepherd will not be able to last long in the end, so there is no need to compete too much.

It is His Majesty's heart to fight for.

In addition, in addition to gaining the emperor's trust, Liu Jian also had another thought, a thought that even Liu Yan had never thought of.

The right to shepherd and guard a state is indeed too great, especially for some special states and counties, if only one shepherd guards it, it is indeed very troublesome.

Liu Jian gave Liu Hong the choice of separating the state and herdsmen, the choice of dividing the power of a state.

As long as everything has a beginning, it will be a matter of course in the future.

After this time, the separation of state pastoral care is considered a formal process.

This trick can be used to restrict others, of course Liu Jian himself may also be restricted.

But it's worth it to think about it.

Not to mention others, just talk about Liu Yan, who is just a thief who refuses to defend.

Liu Jian is not the case. His ideal is to break down and then build up, so that this land, which was ravaged by foreigners due to the protracted war in history, can overcome the pain of humiliation and evolve into a brand-new majesty, standing on the top of the world. dynasty.

As I gain more knowledge, my ideals change, and my understanding of myself also changes.

Traveling from the age of five to this time just to find a way out for himself, to now he longs for the strength and prosperity of this land!Liu Jian is constantly growing and changing.

But Liu Yan is different, he is just a self-defense thief.

He longed to enter Bashu and make himself king.

In this era, Bashu is a rather worrying place.

In Dahan, Yizhou's productivity is not strong, and its economy is relatively backward, but it has an insurmountable mountain barrier, which is insurmountable for thousands of people.

Eight hundred miles away, Qinchuan is blocked between Bashu and Guanzhong. It is difficult to get out of Shu, but it is also difficult to enter Shu.

Other states and counties are fine, but if the political power in Yizhou is too centralized, and there are self-defense people squatting in it, it will be a headache for the future unification.

Just like a hard bone, you can't spit it out, and you can't swallow it.

Liu Yan may not have thought that far, but Liu Jian arranged for this thief from Liu's hometown in advance.

……

After Liu Jian made the plan, he wrote to Liu Hong. First, he gave Liu Hong a general explanation of the Hebei battlefield. For the general trend.

However, if three people can be appointed, it will be beneficial for Luoyang to check and balance its power, and it can ensure that Liu Hong's imperial power still has a strong influence in the local area, and there will be no problem if he finds an opportunity to abolish it later.

In addition, Liu Jian also stated to Liu Hong that he said that he was not good enough to be worthy of a great job. If the imperial court wanted to appoint three shepherds to take charge of Jizhou, Dong Zhuo, Huang Fusong and Liu Yan should be the three.

This is pure modesty. If Liu Hong really wants to set up a trilateral shepherd, he will definitely let the three Zhonglang generals in charge of the army serve on the spot, and he will not transfer Liu Yan to Jizhou on purpose at all.

Therefore, in a sense, Liu Jian's submission was just to be polite to Liu Hong.

If his elder brother had a bit of insight, he would have borrowed the slope to go down the donkey.

……

After receiving Liu Jian's letter, Liu Hong had made up his mind completely.

Therefore, in terms of the imperial court, Liu Hong finally issued the emperor's order, and Shangshutai deliberated, setting up Huangfusong as the envoy of the East Shepherd of Jizhou, Dong Zhuo as the envoy of the North Shepherd of Jizhou, and Liu Jian as the envoy of the West Shepherd of Jizhou.

As for the demarcated area of ​​the three pastors, it is bounded by the center of Xindu.

The officials who advised Liu Hong to establish Jizhou Mu, did not expect Liu Hong to play such a trick, and were caught off guard.

But in reality, their goal has been achieved. The two Zhonglang generals valued by the Hongnong Yang family and the Runan Yuan family have both become Jizhou herdsmen. Although one is east and the other is north, it is also Jizhou Mu!

This is not a bad thing for some ministers who directly remonstrated with the emperor.

After all, Huangfusong and Dong Zhuo are now dating two famous families in the court respectively, and there is only one position for Jizhou Mu, although as far as the Yuan family is concerned, setting up Huangfusong is the next best choice But if two people can be in the top position at the same time, the people below will naturally feel the best of both worlds.

At the same time, Liu Jian's role as the shepherd envoy of West Jizhou can be regarded as saving Liu Hong's face, and all parties competing for power will feel more or less satisfied.

In the court hall in recent years, it is difficult to encounter such a comfortable situation for everyone.

In this way, the matter of the Jizhou pastoral envoy was settled.

……

The position of the Jizhou pastoral envoy on the three sides has been determined, and then the generals of the various tribes will be knighted according to the results of the battle.

Although Liu Jian captured the thief's first horn, when it comes to beheadings, Huangfusong's army still beheaded the most. Therefore, on the whole, Huangfusong's meritorious deeds are higher than Liu Jian's.

But this is also what Liu Jian hopes. To be an official, you don't have to get the most credit. Sometimes, if you get less, the effect can be better.

Liu Jian has always kept in mind the truth of shooting the bird first.

The imperial court worshiped Huangfusong as the general of the left chariot and the marquis of Huaili.

Zhu Jun enters the right chariot and rides the general, Marquis of Xixiang.

Although Dong Zhuo had made meritorious deeds, he also had faults. He only used the state herdsman and did not worship generals.

Liu Jian is the general of the thieves, and he is waiting in the pavilion.

The three worshiped the general, although Liu Jian only got a Zhonglang general who could be withdrawn at any time, and there was also a rank of marquis, but this was also within his expectation.

As far as Liu Hong is concerned, because he has already learned from Yang Qiu, he doesn't want Liu Jian to go too far.

As far as the court ministers and prominent officials were concerned, they mainly favored Huang Fusong and Zhu Jun in this war, and Liu Jian was not in their consideration.

Credit is only one aspect, and the key to conferring marquis and worshiping generals lies in the interests and needs of all parties.

Liu Jian reckoned that since Liu Hong just casually gave him a miscellaneous name as General Zhonglang, he thought that after a few months, he would definitely lose his general position and transfer himself back to the Luoyang Center.

But anyway, it can be regarded as a feudal marquis.

For Liu Hong, he is becoming more and more important now, and the emperor cannot do without him for the time being, and it will be a matter of time before he returns to Luoyang.

However, his official position and title are indisputable, but he still has to strive for the military merits of his subordinates!

One is related to his personal prestige, and the other is for the future layout.

After Liu Jian's hard work, the rewards for the meritorious service officers in his army came down.

Liu Jian could no longer be in charge of the Yueqi camp in Luoyang City, but Liu Jian did a little work and promoted Gao Shuncong as the Sima of the Yueqi camp.

The five schools of the Northern Army have high positions, and Sima in the camp is equivalent to half the sky.

At this time, Liu Jian has become Gao Shun's benefactor, and the relationship between the two is extremely close. Gao Shun's return to Beijing to manage Yueqi is equivalent to Liu Jian's management.

Liu Jian became the shepherd envoy to the west of Jizhou, and Mushou was in charge of personnel, finance, taxation, military affairs and other affairs in the area. The imperial court only had Mushou to one person, which can be described as a great release of power.

Therefore, Xu Rong and Cheng Pu stayed with Liu Jian. Xu Rong served as the Sima of another ministry under Liu Jian, and Cheng Pu served as Qu Junhou under Liu Jian.

As for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, both of them were Military Officers of Thousand Stones, their reputation resounded throughout the country, and they joined the two prefectures. Now that they have done a lot of meritorious service in Hebei, their positions have naturally risen a big step.

First of all, Guan Yu, who previously served as Wumeng under Liu Yu's command, made great achievements, and now he has made great achievements in beheading Zhang Liang.

In history, Guan Yu didn't have any connections, even if he had ability and prestige, he couldn't use it to his advantage, but now, Liu Jian's connections in Luoyang are enough to open up the ascendant channel for Guan Yu.

Guan Yu was appointed as the captain of the Liaodong vassal state, and he was in charge of the border county!
The vassal states in the Eastern Han Dynasty were divided into administrative regions alongside the counties, and the subordinate state captains ruled the people who descended from the barbarians and ruled the counties.

The highest chief of the county is the prefect, and the highest chief of the subordinate country is the governor of the country. Unlike the general captain who only governs military affairs, the captain of the country also handles civil affairs, and governs the people more than the county.

Belongs to the defenders who develop the frontier of the Great Han and defend the security of the border area!
As for Zhang Fei, under Liu Hong's behest, he served as Li Yangying's school lieutenant.

The Liyang Battalion is a mobile force directly controlled by the central government, and the emperor directly dispatches and appoints generals.

The soldiers are mainly recruited sergeants and prisoners, and sometimes soldiers from inner counties are recruited to strengthen the troops.Liyang Camp is the northern barrier of Luoyang, the capital, and is often ordered to go out to the north of the village.

Of course, although the school lieutenant is in charge of the Liyang camp, there will also be camp supervisors in the camp, similar to the position of supervising the army. Eunuchs appointed by the emperor.

And Liu Bei, the leader of the volunteer army, originally returned to his hometown due to illness after his term in Guanjin County expired, and recruited the volunteer army. There are also achievements in the army.

Regarding Liu Bei, Liu Jian gave a special memorial to Liu Hong, explaining his relationship with Liu Bei.

After Liu Hong saw Liu Jian's letter, he immediately decreed to move Liu Xuande to Beijing as Habayashiro.

Why is it Qianba Linlang, not Yilang, or the doctor?
Because Liu Bei was not born in Xiaolian, nor was he a student of the imperial court, so he followed the path of becoming an official with military merits, which is different from Liu Jian, a serious and honest Xiaolian.

Therefore, Liu Bei can only enter Luoyang as Habayashiro.

Moving Liu Bei to Beijing as Habayashiro, to put it bluntly, is to let him have a transition in the capital, and then prepare for his decentralization to the local government as an official.

There are thousands of Lang officials in Luoyang, and Habayashi Lang is countless, so can they all be sent down?

Of course not, you have to have a background and a network to have a chance!

But what is Liu Bei's background and what kind of background is he now?
The shepherd envoy of West Jizhou in the Han Dynasty, the Marquis of Duting, the elder brother of the general who suppressed the thief!

This door is strong enough.

Letting Liu Bei enter Beijing as a man is purely waiting for an opportunity to go to the local area to be the prefect, and do the two thousand stone job!

Dong Zhuo was in the identity of Habayashiro back then, and finally became two thousand stones.

After the court's decree came down, Liu Bei still hesitated somewhat.

"Deran, brother, I don't want to go to Beijing, I'd rather be more comfortable somewhere, Luoyang is mixed with dragons and snakes, it's not a place I can stay, and I'm not as spiritual as you."

Liu Jian smiled and said: "Brother, I've been thinking about it... Yun Chang and Yi De are both generals on the border of the town. It is meaningless to let people like them go to Beijing to be gilded. Talent, but also political talent, if you take the path of harmony with Yunchang and Yide, "

"It's a pity that our future is no longer what it used to be. You just need to rest assured that when you arrive in Luoyang, no matter if it's the royal family, dignitaries, or high-ranking officials, if you hear that you are Liu Deran's elder brother, they will give you a little bit of sympathy. .”

Although Liu Bei knew that Liu Jian was very open in Luoyang City, Liu Bei had no idea how open he was in Luoyang City.

Hearing what Liu Jian said now, he naturally thought that Liu Jian was bragging.

"Brother, I know you want to encourage your brother to come to Beijing to make some achievements, so you comfort me like this, but... Sigh! I am really not suitable."

"Don't be so worthless!"

Liu Jian suddenly punched him on the shoulder: "You have also seen the current situation in the world. You and I have been determined to do something big since we were young. Now that the country is turbulent and the situation of the big man is chaotic and unclear. At this time, if you don't Work hard, what should you do in the future? Show some backbone!"

Liu Bei was stunned for a while after hearing Liu Jian's words.

Afterwards, Fang saw him let out a sigh of relief, and said: "Deran...you are right, how can I be cowardly at this time? When you entered Beijing alone, there was neither a helping hand nor someone to guide you. Brother has paved a road to Kangzhuang, if you dare not go for brother, you will become a coward of our Liu family in Zhuo County!"

Liu Jian reached out and patted Liu Bei's shoulder heavily, and said: "I will write to my wife and ask him to reserve a room for you in the mansion, and you will live in our house. After entering Beijing, don't forget Pay a visit to Master Lu, with Master Lu in charge, you will naturally have a place in Luoyang, if you have something urgent, you can go to Yu Ze, he knows all my friends in Luoyang."

"Okay, brother, thank you very much!"

"Stay well in Luoyang, don't worry, I'll take care of the future for you, and the end of the year will be in a few months, and many local prefects are about to reach their terms of office. I can say anything about the position of these two thousand stones. Find a good place for you!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei couldn't help sighing:
"In my previous life, I accumulated some evil virtues to meet a brother as good as you!"

"Don't be nasty, you're still acting like a woman with me!"

"I'm telling the truth!"

Seeing Liu Bei's determined and sincere expression, Liu Jian smiled.

He trained Liu Bei as the first governor of his clan.

Cao Cao's family has Cao Ren, and the Xiahou brothers are his assistants.

He has Liu Bei, presumably he will not lose to Cao Ren and his ilk.

　After get off work today, there is an urgent matter at home, so I can only update these first, and I will make up more than [-] words tomorrow, I am sorry everyone
