I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 188
In this era, both the holiday festival and the holiday yue are used to travel on behalf of the emperor, and any envoy who holds the festival represents the emperor's visit, symbolizes the emperor and the country, and can exercise corresponding powers.

Of course, compared with the fake festival yue, the intention of the fake festival is more specific. The festival means that the courtier can act on behalf of the emperor for a certain matter and exercise the power that the emperor should have in this matter.

This power can be executive or military.

As for false festivals, the emperor bestowed on his ministers the false festivals, which were generally festival battles.

Most of the courtiers who went abroad as envoys and represented the emperor's blessings all held festivals.

Festival battles are mostly made of bamboo and wood, with one ear hanging on the top.

The directivity of the fake festival Yue is more directional than that of the fake festival.

Yue is a kind of weapon, which is similar to an axe in shape, with a wide curved blade and slightly upturned corners. It is bulky and unsuitable for use on the battlefield, but is mostly used in etiquette and ceremonial guards.

False festivals are when the emperor bestows a festival battle representing himself to his ministers, so that the ministers can act as envoys on behalf of the emperor to perform etiquette and deal with various unexpected government affairs at home and abroad.

And the fake Jieyue naturally means that the emperor bestowed his own big axe on behalf of his subjects.

What is the meaning of the emperor giving the big ax to his ministers?

Naturally, it means that this person can represent the emperor in conquest!
If not, could it represent the emperor's failure to cut meat and bones with a big axe?
However, the fake festival yue is more specific and not as flexible as the fake festival. The fake festival can be used to replace the emperor in handling government affairs, diplomacy, war and many other matters, while the fake festival yue can only mean that the emperor grants his officials to specialize in war. kill.

According to the current situation, the border area of ​​Youzhou is likely to become the second huge battlefield after Liangzhou.

Because the weakness of the central government of the Han Dynasty has been seen by everyone in the world.

Especially the Wuhuan people who have been employed by the Han Dynasty for generations. They have always regarded the emperor of the Han Dynasty as their employer, but now the employer suddenly has no money and does not pay them wages. Then these Wuhuan people suddenly lost their source of income. What will be done?
Job hopping?

The problem is that no one can afford to hire Wuhuan people except the Han court!
If job-hopping fails, the Wuhuan people will have to start their own business.

The war in Liangzhou is not over yet. Once there is another civil strife in Youzhou, the current financial situation of the central government of the Han Dynasty really cannot afford to invest.

Once the central government of the Han Dynasty couldn't afford to invest and could not quell the war, it would inevitably start to rely on the Kanto gentry again.
These murderers hiding in the dark will inevitably stand up and start manipulating the whole situation with a high attitude of compassion.

Just like they borrowed the battle of Liangzhou and used Dong Zhuo to control the main military force of the Han Dynasty, they will definitely use Youzhou Bianjun to grasp more bargaining chips.

Liu Yu has another important task to go to Qingzhou. Now it seems that only Liu Jian can take on this important task.

But Liu Hong did not dare to make this determination easily.

After all, if the power to conquer the north on behalf of the emperor is handed over to someone, even if that person is his younger brother or clan relative, it is military power after all, and it does not mean that it can be delegated at will.

If it was changed to the past, Liu Hong would never agree.

But now, the Yellow Turban Uprising and the sudden outbreak of rebellion in Liangzhou disrupted the original pattern of the imperial court.

The Yuan family in Runan, representing the Kanto gentry, controlled the most powerful army of the Han Dynasty through Dong Zhuo. The loss of military power made Liu Hong feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

To put it bluntly, if the reputation and background are ignored, Yuan only needs to issue a family order to Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo can turn his troops around and destroy the Han court directly!
However, although He Jin is a great general, he is not from a high family background, so he has no ability to restrain the Kwantung clan.

On the contrary, He Jin had to rely on the rich and well-dressed families in the Kanto region instead of sharing Liu Hong's worries.

If Liu Hong is in good health, it's not that he can't gradually exert checks and balances in the court, slowly peel off the cocoon, and get rid of this serious worry.

The problem is he's dying!
Before he died, the military power fell aside!
If a battlefield similar to Liangzhou is opened up in Youzhou, the Han Dynasty will really be over.

If you don't want the Kwantung gentry to imitate the Liangzhou battlefield and use their people to control the Youzhou battlefield, you must immediately support a military officer in Hebei.

From this point of view, regardless of size, Liu Jian is really the most suitable.

It's no wonder that Liu Yu mentioned Liu Jian's name. In the current situation, Liu Hong couldn't think of another person.

"Aiqing thinks he's good?" Liu Hong asked Liu Yudao weakly.

Liu Yu said helplessly: "Your Majesty, may I ask, who else can do it besides him in the clan?"

"That's true."

Liu Hong sighed weakly: "However, I'm still a little worried."

Liu Yu remonstrated: "Your Majesty don't have to worry. Your Majesty's patient is just a person with great power. It will be difficult for the new emperor to control him in the future. But in fact, the minister advised His Majesty to give Liu Jian a fake axe, not to let him go on a conquest. The power of the world is mainly to control the battlefield in Youzhou. In this way, His Majesty granted Liu Jian the right to fake a Yue, but he can clearly decree the direction of this festival, that is, only the war between Jizhou and Youzhou allows him to fake it. As for the power of Jieyue, anyone who leaves these two states, no matter whether it is to recruit troops or initiate a war, must not use Jieyue, otherwise it will be punished as treason."

Liu Hong nodded and said, "That statement makes sense."

"In addition, Liu Jian is now the shepherd of Southern Jizhou, controlling the military and administration of the four counties. After His Majesty granted him a fake axe, Lu Zhi, governor of Hedong County, can be transferred to be the shepherd of North Jizhou, and he will be in charge of Anping, Hejian, Changshan, Bohai and other counties."

Liu Hongqi asked, "Why did you transfer Lu Qing?"

"Your Majesty, Lu Zigan is respected by people all over the world, he is upright and upright, he has always acted close to the royal family, and most importantly, he is Liu Deran's mentor, Liu Deran is his student, Liu Deran has the right to fake axe, but Once he has the heart of rebellion and plots against him, then Lu Zigan can use the prestige of a mentor to restrain him, so that the land of Hebei will be safe."

Liu Hong suddenly realized, and nodded in relief: "It's still Aiqing who is thoughtful, too thoughtful."

Seeing that Liu Hong was happy, Liu Yu stopped talking and didn't continue.

If Liu Jian harbored ill intentions towards the Han Dynasty, then Lu Zhi could use the name of his mentor to restrict him, which is true.

But the question is, what if Liu Jian is loyal to the Han Dynasty?

One is a clan member of the Han family who holds a fake festival axe, and the other is a world-renowned Confucian who is respected all over the world.

If this is the case, according to Liu Yu's understanding of Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi is likely to become Liu Jian's right-hand man and his apprentice's deputy.

At that time, Liu Jian will have the final say on the whole Jizhou.

The two masters and apprentices are equivalent to a dragon and a tiger meeting, and it is no problem to sweep Hebei.

But Liu Yu felt that there was nothing wrong with doing so.

Because of Liu Jian's behavior in Jizhou, he also knew a little bit.

The Hebei Chamber of Commerce and Trade, Tuntian, introduced the poor families of the common people to restrict the local prominent families...

Liu Yu could feel everything, that Liu Jian was working hard for the stability of the Han Dynasty.

Without any selfishness.

If he really has no selfish intentions and is all about Liu's family, then what's wrong with letting Lu Zigan go over and do great things with him?

……

The princes and nobles of the Manchu Dynasty, all the rich and well-dressed families in the world are now waiting for Liu Hong to die.

As soon as Liu Hong dies, they will reshuffle the cards and redistribute the interests of the world.

Another round of new interest pattern is about to take shape.

But no one expected that Liu Hong, who was about to die, would suddenly go to court.

Dragging his body that was about to collapse, he issued three orders that left people dumbfounded.

One is to appoint Liu Yu as the pastoral envoy of Dongqingzhou.

The second is to appoint Lu Zhi as the pastoral envoy of Northern Jizhou.

The third is to give Liu Jian, the shepherd envoy of Southern Jizhou, a false festival axe.
