I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 155 The layout for the competition
Tian Feng is not only very famous in Julu, but also a talented person.

Maocai, as a kind of procuratorate in the Han Dynasty, was mainly recommended by senior central and local officials.

Xiaolian was elected by the county, while Maocai was elected by the state. There were very few places, and not many people were recommended.

Unlike Chaju Xiaolian, the people who are promoted as Maocai are generally incumbent officials with a large proportion, and the gold content is far from what Xiaolian can compare with.

Although the procuratorial system has been corrupted by the local government, the number of people who have been promoted is very small, so the requirements for those who are promoted are generally very high. In addition to their status and family status, their conduct is also mostly loyal and firm. There are also those who pretend to be fake, but compared with the "garbage" that is hidden every year by Ju Xiaolian, the level of Maocai is generally higher.

In the counties of Jizhou, the two most famous talents are Tian Feng and Ju Shou.

And the person Liu Jian is going to summon this time is Julu Tianfeng recommended by Sun Jin.

Sun Jin told Liu Jian that Tian Feng was a man of great prestige among the scholars in Jizhou, but he also had one of the biggest problems, that is, his personality was too rigid, and he always spoke directly, and he never had any reason to mediate and tact. He also offended many people.

It can be said that Tian Feng has many friends and many enemies.

When Tian Feng was summoned by Liu Jian from Julu and stood in front of Liu Jian, Liu Jian knew that what Sun Jin said was right just by looking at his face.

Tian Feng has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face, a pair of piercing eyes, and a straight waist. He walks with his head held high, and his voice is clear and loud when he speaks, giving people a sense of fortitude, decisiveness, and determination.

Although at the same time it also gives people a feeling of being very difficult to get along with, but Tian Feng was born in a scholarly family after all, and his etiquette is still very considerate.

After performing the ceremony, Liu Jian asked Tian Feng to sit down, and then told Tian Feng what had happened in Zhending County, and stated his own thoughts-he wanted to sell the confiscated properties of the three rich and right families to Julu and Hefei at a low price. The other powerful families in Changshan Kingdom are used to stop everyone's talk, and at the same time to stabilize the situation in Jizhou.

"I heard that Mr. Yuan Hao's reputation spreads all over Jizhou, and he is an upright person. Liu wants to ask Mr. to come out of the mountain and handle this matter on his behalf. I wonder if Mr. Yuan is willing to help?"

After hearing Liu Jian's words, Tian Feng stroked his beard and remained silent for a while before answering.

"Tian thought that Uncle Fang's move was inappropriate."

Liu Jian's heart sank when he heard this.

That's what worries him the most.

No matter how upright Tian Feng's reputation is outside, he is still a high-ranking scholar of Julu after all, and in a sense belongs to the same camp as Zhu Haoyou of Jizhou.

To Tian Fengyan, if he is willing to help Liu Jian to persuade Zhu's family to buy the land and house of the three criminal families at a low price, then he is really helping.

But if Tian Feng is dissatisfied with Liu Jian's extermination of the Zhending clan, that's fine. In order to maintain the face and stability of their local Haoyou in Jizhou, from Tian Feng's point of view, it is understandable not to help.

Liu Jian thought to himself: It seems that Tian Feng should be dissatisfied with his practice of killing the Zhending tribe.

Liu Jian reached out to pick up the water bottle on the table, took a sip, and said, "I don't know what Mr. Yuan Hao thinks I did wrong?"

Tian Feng Zhengrong said to Liu Jian: "The three heroes are really determined, they forged the rebel army, conspired with the wealth of the prefectures and counties, and collected grain and weapons. Confiscated, why sell the property of the three clans and the heroes of Changshan and Julu at such a low price? This is very inappropriate!"

When these words came out, let alone Liu Jian, even King Chang Shan and Prime Minister Sun Jin who were sitting on the side couldn't help being dumbfounded.

Is there something wrong with Tian Feng?

The purpose of selling Zhending's family property at a low price is to appease the feelings of the nobles in Changshan and Julu, and his Tian Feng's family is also a powerful family in Julu. This matter is also beneficial to their family!
He actually thinks it's not appropriate to sell cheap?
Liu Jian looked at Tian Feng seriously.

He was a little unsure whether what Tian Fengzhi said came from his heart, or if he just said some beautiful words to cover up.

But Tian Feng bowed slightly to Liu Jian, and said: "Bo Fang, don't worry too much, and don't doubt it. Feng's words are all from his heart. He really decided that the three tribes violated the laws of the Han Dynasty and committed disobedience. Humans and gods are all angry. Can the crime not be severely punished?"

"Fang Bo was afraid that this matter would arouse the wrath of the tyrants in Changshan and Julu, so he wanted to sell the property of the three clans at a low price, so as to reassure the hearts of the clans. Tian Feng knew this! From Feng's point of view, Fang Bo The governor of a state has national laws to follow in everything he does. If the three clans are expelled because of their rebellious actions, they will have to worry about others. "

"Feng thought that after Fang Bo confiscated the family assets of the three clans, he could sell his land and house, but not at a low price! One can show the court's magnanimity and kindness to the clans, and the other can also use this to inform the clans. There is nothing wrong with what Uncle has done, the laws of the great Han can be trampled on by non-strong people!"

"As for the clans in the two counties, if anyone has any objections to this matter, Feng will speak up! Help Fang Bo solve his problems!"

What he said was extremely powerful and to the point, which made people feel moved.

Liu Jian stood up, walked in front of Tian Feng, bowed to Tian Feng and said: "A god has no merit, and a master has no trace. Mr. Zhang has a clear distinction between public and private affairs. He has a beautiful appearance. He is truly an elite in the world. Please accept Liu Jian's words." A salute."

According to Tian Feng's status as a talented person, even if Liu Jian is the state pastoral envoy, he can barely afford this ceremony.

However, he got up in a hurry, stepped aside, and got out of Liu Jian's courtesy.

Tian Feng said to Liu Jian: "Fang Bo doesn't have to do this. Tian Feng acts like this because he admires Fang Bo as a man. Fang Bo is willing to do so many embarrassing things for the widow of a volunteer army in a county. Feng is filled with emotion. As long as Tian can If you do it, even if Fang Bo asks, Feng will never refuse!"

"Mr. Yuan Hao's words made Liu Jian deeply moved. It's a pity that I, the Jizhou Shepherd, will not be able to serve for long after all. I will be transferred back to the capital sooner or later. Otherwise, Liu Jian will definitely ask Mr. to be the state shepherd. Rejuvenate the country and secure the country by your side!"

Tian Feng said with a smile: "After this incident, Feng also saw Fang Bo's character clearly, and Fang Bo's style of conduct was very kind to Feng's heart. It's a pity that we can't accompany him, but it is a pity."

Liu Jian said: "If Liu Jian returns to Beijing or is dispatched to other states and counties the next day, would you like to accompany him?"

Tian Feng smiled and didn't answer, but the meaning was already obvious.

In this era, the locality is still very important to scholars.

Similar to Han Dang, Cheng Pu, and Guan Yu, who are not rich and of high family status, and are full of cumin, if they meet a good monarch, they may be able to follow the master and run around to start a business, but for Tian Feng Not for such a gentry.

Either enter a regular official career, rush to be two thousand stones, and make your ancestors shine.

It is not good to become an official. If you choose to be requisitioned by the local government, you have to stay at home and stay in the land.

People are far from home, no matter how good a benefactor is, it is nothing compared to the family business.

Of course, if it is possible, it is not impossible to leave the state at all, but at least not too far away.

He was from Jizhou, so it was a bit of a stretch to go to Youzhou or Qingzhou.

But if a scholar from Jizhou is sent to Jiangdong with a single shot, no matter how high the treatment is given to him, most people still can't accept it in their hearts.

Tian Feng agreed to Liu Jian, and helped to appease the prominent families in Changshan and Julu counties, and prevent the clans from changing because of the elimination of the Zhending clan.

In this way, it can be regarded as an end to a difficult matter in Liu Jian's heart.

And Liu Jian also took this opportunity to get acquainted with Tian Feng. Although Tian Feng did not belong to Liu Jian's account in the end, it was obvious that he felt good about Liu Jian's "integrity" style of conduct, and Liu Jian also felt good about Tian Feng. Feng is very satisfied with his "integrity".

If there is a chance the next day, Liu Jian made up his mind to take a "high-minded" person like Tian Feng under his command.

……

After Tian Feng left, Liu Jian talked to Chang Shan Wang Liu Hao alone, and the content of the conversation this time completely shocked Chang Shan Wang Liu Hao.

"what!"

When Liu Jian finished talking about his thoughts to Changshan King Liu Hao, Liu Hao jumped up from the spot with excitement and panic.

He looked straight at Liu Jian, the scorching gaze in those eyes seemed to burn Liu Jian to death.

"You want to advise His Majesty to grant the princes and kings the right to open the mansion? De Ran, you are crazy! Your Majesty will kill you alive!"

Liu Jian stretched out his hand, signaling Liu Hao to be calm.

"I'm not talking nonsense. After serving as the local shepherd envoy of West Jizhou this time, I have seen a lot and felt a lot. The prestige of the big Han Liu family in the local area is gone. Even if he becomes a local shepherd in the future, he can use The number of clan relatives is really too small to support the extension of imperial power."

"In the past, since Emperor Gaozu, the emperors of the Han Dynasty have been using local magnates to limit the authority of the princes and kings in order to consolidate the imperial power. Today, the princes and kings are indeed restricted to death. It can be said that ten kings and nine wastes ,"

"But now, the situation is completely reversed. The power of the local tyrants is too strong, and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, all the clans in various places are secretly saving their power. At this time, we must ask His Majesty to re-empower the various regions. Only when the kings have certain authority can they play a certain role in checks and balances in the local area."

"Your Majesty, it's an eventful time for the great Han. You, the kings of the Liu surname, should also shoulder the heavy burden of our Han family."

King Changshan stared at Liu Jian in a daze, and said tremblingly, "But, this, can this be done? Will His Majesty agree?"

Liu Jian nodded and said, "Yes."

"How can you be so sure."

Liu Jian smiled but said nothing.

Today's Liu Hong, under the guidance of himself, Liu Yan, and Dong Fu, has realized the many disadvantages of the Great Han Dynasty. In his subconscious mind, he may have been able to see a little bit of the disintegration of the Great Han Dynasty in the future.

But the emperor couldn't fully see through it after all.

Because of this, the process of abolishing history and establishing animal husbandry was several years faster than in history, which shows that the emperor really panicked.

To open mansions for the princes and kings, so that they can have a certain amount of resistance to the state ministers and county guards in the local counties. For Liu Hong, this may be the only way to continue to check and balance the localities besides Li Mu.

But for Liu Jian, the great Han will eventually fall apart, even with these princes and kings.

Hundreds of years of repression have crushed and abolished the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty. Ten kings and nine abolitions are not an exaggeration.

Even if the princes and kings are given a mansion, they will only be cleaned up in the future competition.

But after all, it is better than being silently submerged by the flood of warlord separatism as it was in history, without any effect.

If the Han family really fell apart, most of the local military forces would be ruled by gentry lords and tyrants. Although the Han family has the name of orthodoxy, when it comes to the overall power, the weight ratio is too low.

Historically, the clan power represented by Liu Yan was far away in Western Shu and had no effect at all.

Although Liu Biao has the name of a clan relative, in fact, apart from having the surname "Liu", his style of conduct and the way of dealing with troubled times can be said to be closer to a scholar.

After all, Liu Biao used to be a member of the party, or one of the eight ranks. In essence, he still completely stood on the side of the nobles in the world.

Therefore, during the period when the heroes competed for the throne, there was only one warlord of the royal family that could truly be called "systematic".

That is Liu Yu, Shepherd of Youzhou.

Because there is only such a single lineage force, he was quickly targeted by the gentry warlords headed by Yuan.

Historically, after Yuan Shao arrived in Jizhou, he never stopped thinking about how to deal with Liu Yu.

In the end, it was Gongsun Zan who hurriedly helped Yuan Shao pull out this thorn in his heart, except Yuan Shao's confidant.

After Liu Yu's demise, there was no longer a family of Liu's clan in the Central Plains north of the Yangtze River.

Liu Dai or Liu Yao and his ilk are basically free gifts.

Chen Wang and Liu Chong were even more short-lived.

These people don't count.

Liu Jian is very worried. If he is considered to be the power of the royal family in the future when he is competing for the throne, then in the collision between the imperial power and the noble family, Liu Jian is likely to be targeted first, and thus become the first one. victim.

Therefore, before that, it is also a good choice to increase the power of the Liu family of some local princes and disperse the firepower for him.

Although these princes and kings are not helpful, perhaps, in the end, the power accumulated in their hands may also be used as a stepping stone for themselves.

After all, Liu Bei ruled the roost by taking away the foundation of his fellow clan Liu Zhang.

Generally speaking, the presence of these waste princes and kings is better than nothing!
