People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 313

After the court was over, Li Yao returned home directly, and before he could take a breath, he found those talents from the Yizhou family.

Li Yao looked at them and said:

"Everyone, I invited you here from Yizhou. I will definitely not treat you badly. I will definitely use you again. I still have a lot of empty rooms in this mansion. You can stay as long as you want. Of course, if you want to buy a mansion or property in Chang'an, I will not stop you..."

"Tomorrow, I will arrange for you to go to Shangshutai to do things first, and then according to your respective talents, whether you will be an official in Beijing, or become a local prefect or county magistrate, depends on your performance..."

Speaking of this, Li Yao smiled mysteriously, and then said to everyone:

"In the past, the three princes in the court had the right to recommend talents. Over time, there were Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others, who were known as the four generations and three princes. Their disciples and old officials were all over the world. Looking at what they are doing now, it is simply a great harm to the world..."

"I want to set up a new department to be responsible for the appointment and dismissal of officials. Based on ability, talent, morality, and past performance... comprehensively evaluate a person's promotion and dismissal. As long as you work hard, you will never be buried. Everyone has a great future!"

After the words fell, Zhang Song's eyes flashed brightly, and he spoke with admiration and said:
"Duke Ming is truly a character that has never been seen in the world before, and may not exist in the future. If the promotion and demote, the appointment and removal of officials, can be brought back to the imperial court, it will greatly strengthen the centralization of power and reduce the occurrence of separatism among local princes. There will be no more Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu who can easily separate counties and even counties!"

Li Yao was quite pleasantly surprised. Zhang Song was indeed a great talent. It was not because he was flattering him, but because he could see the most important deep meaning in him.

For example, in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu... and others easily separated themselves from the regime, but it was because the system of selecting officials was simple, local prefects and county magistrates could recruit subordinate officials, each of them was a prince of one side, a family of four generations and three princes, half of the world was full of old students and former officials, and the dual monarchy system was unreasonable.

Zhang Su also nodded. He agreed that this would strengthen the centralization of power, but on the other hand, if he wanted to change the law of the ancestors, there would inevitably be opposition:

"It's just generals. The method of recommending talents by big men has been around for more than 300 years. It is easy to change. Those three princes will never hand over the power in their hands easily!"

Li Yao didn't care about this. Change would definitely require bloodshed, but he would never shed his own blood. He was the one holding the knife, and he would shed other people's blood if he wanted to.

Now he just told these people that he was going to set up a new department, but he didn't tell them that he even planned to abolish the Sangong and Jiuqing. If he put forward the idea at this time, the resistance would be very huge, and it would be time for a showdown when the Shangshu Liucao was perfected.

So Li Yao said seriously:

"Look at what the Kanto is like now, how many people have been displaced, how many innocent people have been killed, this system must be changed, otherwise the local government wants to rebel, and the top and bottom are integrated, and the court can't check and balance at all..."

Speaking of this, Li Yao's voice became more sincere:

"I have told you so much because I want you to become my confidantes. There are many talented people in the Yizhou family. If they are willing to help with all their strength, what can't be done in the world?!"

Zhang Su, Zhang Song, and more than [-] other people, not everyone followed Li Yao wholeheartedly, but Li Yao was powerful and had heavy troops in his hands, so now, no matter if he was sincere or not, they all saluted and said:

"I'm willing to do my best to help!"

After seeing them off, Li Yao looked at their backs, his eyes narrowed and he fell into deep thought.

He didn't know how many of these people were willing to follow him all the time, but after a long time, he saw people's hearts, loyal to himself, and disloyal to himself, and he would gradually distinguish them.

Who made himself just a Liangzhou warrior, if he hadn't entered the court and held a heavy army, maybe they would have looked down on him at all.

However, Yizhou still has its own troops stationed there, for the family, for the future... I believe they should still be able to make the right choice.

Li Yao's mansion was guarded by elite soldiers inside and out. When he returned home, he could finally have a good night's rest.

The next day, early morning!
Li Yao got up to wash up, and after having breakfast, he brought a group of people to Shangshutai, where they each assigned a position. Certain things would not be reused until they were trusted.

Even Zhang Su and Zhang Song still have to go through the motions, just like He Luan and Huang Hua, as long as they walk out from the Shangshutai, they are all Li Yao's former students.

Throughout the morning, Li Yao stayed at Shangshutai, preparing the documents needed for his subordinates to be promoted, and then took them to be sealed before they could be officially issued. In the afternoon, Li Yao sent someone to find Li Ru and Jia Xu to have a good chat about some things.

When the two came over, Li Yao asked the others to leave. When there were only three people left, Li Yao said with a smile:

"During the time I'm away, the court is thanks to the two of you!"

Li Ru didn't take the credit, looked at Li Yao and said sincerely:

"After repeated suppression by the general, the officials in the court have no way to resist. However, the general captured Yizhou so quickly, which really surprised us. He flew to Yangping Pass, took the Jinniu Road in the open, and the Yinping Road in secret. It is an eye-opener!"

Jia Xu also nodded and said:

"Now Yizhou has changed hands, and there is General Xu Rong in Bingzhou. The Xiongnu can no longer be aggressive. They occupy Guanzhong, Liangzhou, Yizhou, and Bingzhou. The generals are sitting on half of the world!"

Hearing this, Li Yao shook his head and said:
"There are still some troubles in Yizhou, but I believe it will be resolved sooner or later. However, the nine counties of Bingzhou, Xu Rong, the governor of Bingzhou, only guard Yanmen County, Taiyuan County, Shangdang County, and the other six counties. I want to take it back!"

Li Ru and Jia Xu looked at each other, and finally Li Ru said:
"The remaining six counties, due to the rampage of the Huns, there are very few Han people left. Even if the general succeeds in retaking them, the harm will outweigh the benefits, and there will be no benefits..."

"This is the result of hundreds of years of appeasement by the imperial court. If the generals really want to mobilize troops, they can only force them to surrender quickly, set up a general to protect the Huns, recruit a cavalry army, and use the Huns to rule the Huns..."

"If you want to completely eliminate them, with all due respect, the Huns have many cavalry, so it is difficult to do their best, and it is very likely to lead to border erosion..."

"Dealing with the princes of the Kanto region is the most important thing. Now that they are fighting with each other, maybe they can try to take back Hanoi and Henan to see how they react."

Li Ru was right. After hundreds of years of reproduction, the Huns in Bingzhou had already become a rotten sore on the body of the Han Dynasty.

Whether Yuan Shao got Bingzhou or Cao Cao got Bingzhou, they still adopted the same method as the Han Dynasty. As long as they surrendered openly, they would be out of sight and out of mind.

Because there are not enough cavalry, it is difficult to completely defeat and eliminate them, and it will completely break out in the Jin Dynasty.

But Li Yao was different. He could gather enough cavalry, fast horses and sharp knives, and strong bows and crossbows to completely cut off this rotten sore and wait for new flesh and blood to grow.

Li Yao looked at Li Ru, Jia Xu, he was determined to mobilize troops, or to mobilize troops on a large scale.
