I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 349 New Establishment - Sizhou, Yongzhou
For Liu Jian, treating Liu Xie like this is the best choice.

Whether it is for Liu Xie or himself, it will be beneficial to both of them if this situation develops.

Liu Xie is a vassal king, at least at this stage, he is still a vassal king.

A prince and king is not an emperor, so there is no need to bear so many responsibilities.

Looking at the world, which princes and kings didn't dream of being able to live in Liu Xie's state?
And Liu Jian is not a saint.

He has his ideals, he has his aspirations.

Indeed, if there is a chance in the future, he really wants to support Liu Xie.

However, supporting a king with great ambitions and a king who is indulging in happiness, for the future, there will be two situations.

There is a misunderstanding among later generations, that is, they think that a king with great ambitions is better than a king with no ambitions.

But a king with great ambition must have the ability to match his ambition.

However, the thinking and knowledge of people in this era are limited, so in many cases, the kings have ambitions but lack abilities.

Instead of that, it is better to have a king with no ambitions.

If Liu Xie has aspirations because of his over-cultivation...but what he did for his ambitions must be right?
The ancient kings were not as forward-looking as Liu Jian. Many of the things they planned were to cross the river by feeling the stones.

Once what Liu Xie wants to do in the future conflicts with Liu Jian's ideals, and the two people have different development directions for the development of this country, how should the relationship between them be handled?
At that time, it will still be this country that will fall into chaos again.

It's not that Liu Jian is too conceited, it's just that compared with himself, Liu Jian feels that Liu Xie's future will not be better than himself.

Liu Jian can still recognize whether he is a hero who can change an era—at least Liu Xie is not.

Instead of having too many conflicts at that time, it is better to let Liu Xie be a carefree person now.

Although Liu Jian didn't have much affection for Liu Hong back then, he must admit that the reason why he has come to this day is largely because of Liu Hong's trust and reuse.

Of course, there are many factors to use, but Liu Jian doesn't care too much about those things.

Liu Jian felt that he still wanted to repay Liu Hong for his kindness.

There are many ways to repay his kindness, either to serve Liu Hong's son with all his might and loyalty, or to repay his kindness.

Let Liu Xie live a happy life, ensure that he is carefree in this life, and prevent him from dictating the country, and at the same time, don't let him bear so many unnecessary responsibilities in history.

Let Liu Hong's lineage live a long and prosperous life in the Han Empire in the future, with prosperity for several generations and prosperous descendants. Isn't this a kind of gratitude to Liu Hong?

Anyway, no matter what others say, Liu Jian thinks this way is right.

This method is good for himself, for this country, and for Liu Hong's descendants—all are a win-win situation for everyone.

After condolences to Liu Xie, he explained some things to Liu Jin, and Liu Jian wanted to leave.

But before leaving, someone came to Liu Jian in a hurry.

This person is Tang Ji, the abolished empress.

Now Tang Ji is only 12 years old, still a young girl, but mentally she is much more mature than Liu Bian and Liu Xie.

And she is also very grateful.

In fact, the main reason why Liu Jian brought Tang Ji back to Yecheng was because of her status as a queen. At that time, Liu Jian felt that this girl would still be of some use to him.

However, Liu Jian did not expect that Dong Zhuo would adopt the strategy of abolishing the bottom line afterward.

Although after Dong Zhuo was abolished, all the important officials in the court still wanted to maintain the orthodoxy of the empress of the Tang family, after all, Dong Zhuo and his granddaughter are currently in the capital, and with the passage of time, the Dong family has finally become a legitimate The emperor's family.

Therefore, to Liu Jian, Tang Ji is a vague person.

So Liu Jian didn't care so much about her.

Besides, when this girl became the empress, she was still a child, and she just entered the palace to make a name, and she was kicked out before any ceremony was performed.

In a sense, it's pretty pathetic.

However, although the abolished empress is useless, Liu Jian is quite sympathetic. At first, he suggested that he want the girl to return to her natal family.

But what Liu Jian didn't expect was that this seemingly weak loli was surprisingly stubborn.

From Tang Ji's point of view, although she was only a queen in name, and had never even had sex with the emperor, it was a great shame to be kicked out just like that.

He really has no face to return to his family.

The girl told Liu Jian about this, hoping to stay in Yecheng and not want to go back to her hometown to be humiliated, which was also understood by Liu Jian.

Liu Jian is not a good person, but if it is a little effort, he is willing to do it without affecting himself.

Besides, the Yingchuan Tang Sect also has a certain reputation in the local area. If they can make friends with the Tang Sect, it may help him go south to recover the Central Plains in the future.

And Tang Ji is also very grateful for Liu Jian's help.

Hearing that Liu Jian came to visit Liu Xie, Tang Ji hurried over to see him.

"When did the envoy come? But no one has been sent to inform the concubine, so the concubine can welcome him."

Liu Jian smiled and saluted: "I came in a hurry, and I didn't have time to meet His Highness, so please don't take responsibility for His Highness."

After hearing Liu Jian's words, Tang Ji blushed slightly, as if she was ashamed.

"Your envoy said this, but he has broken the concubine's body, and the concubine's body is no longer a queen."

Liu Jian said: "There are some things that haven't been finalized yet, how can I say it? Is your Highness looking for me for something? But what is missing in life here?"

Tang Ji shook her head hurriedly: "Everything is not lacking, food and clothing are all available, Xie Shijun took care of me, and I came here to meet you, just to express my gratitude, there is no other intention."

Liu Jian nodded, and said: "It's the best, if His Highness is fine, then Jian will take his leave first."

Then Liu Jian saluted Tang Ji, bowed and left.

Looking at Liu Jian's leaving back, Tang Ji sighed softly, seeming a little regretful.

……

The winter has passed, and in a blink of an eye, the north has also entered the early spring.

And in this spring of this year, many great events took place in the Han Dynasty.

First of all, Luoyang's side, Dong Zhuo and the emperor finally overcame all opinions and moved the capital of the Han Dynasty!

After a lot of relocation, the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty moved from Luoyang to Chang'an.

Before moving to Chang'an, Dong Zhuo had a secret conversation with Li Ru.

This conversation is about the situation of Sili after the capital was moved.

After Dong Zhuo killed Zhang Wen, he did not set up the post of Captain Sili, because the position of Captain Sili was too powerful, and this position conflicted with the power of the prime minister in many functions, which made Dong Zhuo uneasy.

The emperor wanted to install Lu Zhi in Luoyang, which was indeed a better choice for Dong Zhuo, but he was worried that Lu Zhi would have the final say.

Originally, Dong Zhuo meant that it would be good for Lu Zhi to be a Luoyang order in Luoyang, but the emperor obviously felt that this position was too low for Lu, and it was suspected of belittlement. The emperor wanted to give Lu Zhi more authority.

The emperor's words are indeed correct. It is indeed a bit chilling for a state pastor to go to Luoyang to be the county magistrate.

Therefore, this made Dong Zhuo a little bit difficult.

Dong Zhuo said to Li Ru: "Luoyang and other places are indeed the front-line outposts of Chang'an, and a person who is popular with the locals and can be used to fighting is sent to guard...Lu Zigan is indeed a very suitable candidate. This old man I know very well."

"It's just that Lu Zhi is loyal to the emperor of the Han family and the Queen Mother He, and refuses to accept the old man. If Luo Yang is just handed over to him like this, the old man is somewhat worried."

"Just abolished a powerful Zhang Wen, and let the emperor get a Lu Zhi. This is not the old man's wish... But Luoyang still has to be guarded by people like Lu Zhi. I don't know Wenyou. How can you teach me?"

Li Ru stroked his beard and pondered for a moment.

"What Xiangguo is worried about is indeed a serious matter. However, in Confucianism's view, it is not difficult to solve the matter. After all, the previous emperors of my great Han already have a way to deal with it."

"Confucianism has a method, which can not only solve the problem of no longer having the captain of Sili, but also limit Lu Zhi's influence in Luoyang, so that he will not escape the control of Xiangguo."

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly said, "What's Wenyou's strategy? Tell me!"

Li Rudao: "This matter is simple. As long as the Sili is abolished and the two states are established, everything will be equal."

"Oh, how to change it?" Dong Zhuo was quite surprised when he heard this.

Li Ru continued: "Since the establishment of the Sili in the Han Dynasty, the geographical control was too vast. It had jurisdiction over Henan Yin, Hanoi, Hedong, Hongnong, Jingzhao Yin, Zuo Fengyi, and You Fufeng..."

"Now that the capital is moved, we can take advantage of the trend and divide the Sili into two."

"And set up several counties in the two states, and set up governors as checks."

"In this way, we can also allocate more positions for our Xiliang Army officers and soldiers, so as to reassure us and the generals."

Dong Zhuo asked again: "How should we divide?"

"It can be divided into Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Fengyi, You Fufeng and the original eastern part of Liangzhou as Yongzhou, which is placed under the eyes of Xiangguo, and more important people in the center of our Xiliang army are used to hold important positions and take charge of the military and government in Guanzhong. Let the power go deep into Liangzhou."

"And Henan Yin, Hanoi, Hedong, and Hongnong can be Sizhou, and Yangcheng and Yangzhai in Yingchuan, and Lu Hun in Hongnong are assigned to Henan Yin to fill the front line."

"At the same time, Luoyang, Henan Yin, and Hanoi's Lin County were separated separately, and a separate county was established. In this way, Sizhou would have five counties, and Lu Zhi would only be the head of a county that sits alone in Luoyang."

After listening to Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo suddenly realized.

"So that's the case, it's really a clever strategy."

"Although Lu Zhi can help us appease the local nobles on the front line of Luoyang, and at the same time command soldiers and horses to stop Yuan Shao and other powerful enemies, but I can also set up four other county guards around, and another governor of Sizhou to restrain him .”

Li Ru smiled and said, "Exactly, Xiangguo is wise."
