Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 405 Luo Lin with a Heavy Responsibility

Liu Xie, who walked slowly back to the oath hall from the front hall, couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from curling up.Although there are many people who can see the profound significance of the imperial examination reform in this era, but as a time traveler, Liu Xie understands that he has pushed the Han Dynasty forward for hundreds of years.

It can be said that there has been a great watershed in the entire feudal history of China.That is the problem of centralization and localization, and the root of this problem is actually the problem of the country's selection of scholars.

In the Han Dynasty, the system of selecting scholars and selecting officials as the main body was inspected and expelled, which is a clear reflection of this problem.As a bottom-up recommendation method, inspection and promotion will cause the power of employing personnel to be transferred downwards, and dismissal will directly devolve the human rights of employing personnel.The implementation of these two systems for a long time has severely impacted the centralization of power.

The rich and famous families of the three generations and the prefects and governors who have occupied one side are all "students and old officials all over the world", forming a private power group.The root cause of the Three Kingdoms Rebellion, although the rulers were muddle-headed, has a considerable relationship with the employment mechanism.

Whether it is Yuan Shao's own staff and confidantes, or the counselors and generals used by Cao Cao, they are only loyal to their "lord" and have no affection for the Han Dynasty.A great Han dynasty could not bring them direct benefits, and they more or less agreed with the great Han in terms of ideology.Once there is a conflict between personal interests and ideology, human beings tend to prefer the choice of vital interests.

There are not many people who live for ideals, but they must be before protecting their own interests.Otherwise, such a person is nothing but a madman.

After the implementation of the imperial examination system, Liu Xie can effectively solve this problem and bring the world back to its heart.From then on, those capable elites in the world will become professional managers hired by the imperial court, instead of being like the Han Dynasty, where after some troubles, the gentry lords can immediately expand and become strong enough to fight against the central princes.After all, hooligans are not afraid of rebellion, but they are afraid that those hooligans still have culture.

At the same time, the right to select officials and select officials was returned to the imperial court, so that Liu Xie could truly exert the influence of the Han court and fight against the princes of the Quartet as a dynasty.Instead of being as usual at this moment, it is almost like being a prince who is almost or even worse than other princes, and is involved in this troubled chess game.

And Liu Xie, who has done all this, can finally relax and turn his attention to Xuzhou outside Guanzhong.There, there was an unprecedented catastrophe that required him to change.

At the thought of the catastrophe, Liu Xie's heart was full of joy, and it disappeared in an instant.Only raise your eyes and slowly look to the far east, looking forward to the sunset of Mount Tai there, so that it will not just fall down suddenly.After all, Liu Xie is not Kuafu, he does not have the strength to chase after the sun, the only thing he has is the belief and prayer that he holds in his heart like Kuafu - in Xuzhou, the only thing he can use is the one that is few and far between. There are too many Jinyiwei.

At the same time, Luo Lin looked forward nervously, stretched out two fingers, and waved them.The other two Jinyi guards under him understood, and crawled across the grass in two directions: suspicious signs appeared there just now.

The current Luo Lin's knowledge and insight into the situation of the whole world is already comparable to that of a counselor.Even, he has a deeper understanding than some well-educated people in the court.However, even so, he still couldn't figure out why His Majesty suddenly issued such an urgent and strange order.

While watching the movement ahead, Luo Lin untied the water bag on his waist and took a sip of water.The cool water slid down his throat, making him shiver comfortably all over.Luo Lin put down the water bag, shook it carefully, and painted two meaningful characters on the bag with wax paint: "Loyalty".

After escorting Liu Yu back to Chang'an, His Majesty personally gave it to him on the Black Ice Terrace. The two words on it were written by His Majesty himself with a royal brush of wax paint.Of course, the always generous emperor naturally rewarded Luo Lin with a lot of money, and allowed Luo Lin to leave the Black Ice Terrace and live a life of a rich man who can eat and drink for the rest of his life.

However, when Luo Lin took over the water bag, he categorically gave up on his previous thoughts.If it is said that he joined the Black Ice Platform in the first place, it was indeed forced by life.But now he found that he has formed an inseparable bond with the emperor, the Han Dynasty, and the whole world.

That bond was as much emotional as it was habitual.

Although the value of the water bag presented by the emperor himself was not worth much, but in the entire Jinyiwei, only myself was bestowed by the emperor with such a water bag that could be used at any time.This kind of sincere care from the emperor's heart allowed Luo Lin, who was born as an orphan in poverty, to find a trace of warmth that he longed for.

At the same time, Luo Lin didn't know that after he left the Jinyiwei career he was used to and returned to the comfortable, monotonous and boring life, he didn't know if he could still integrate into the lives of ordinary people.

So, he chose to stay.

At this time, the two Jin Yiwei in front had already returned.Luo Lin smiled and shook his head, shaking off the unreasonable thoughts in his head.He raised his head to ask the two Jin Yiweis, but neither of the two Jin Yiweis spoke, but one of them nodded with a trace of heaviness and joy.

Luo Lin knew that he was overjoyed because the emperor's news was indeed correct.And it was heavy because the task this time was not easy to complete.After all, what they had to deal with was a guard team of more than 14 people, few weapons and horses.And all of their Jinyiwei on the ground in Xuzhou, including Luo Lin, only had [-] people.

What's more difficult is that the emperor seemed a little caught off guard for this mission, and didn't write down any steps at all.And because of the inconvenient transmission of information, the poisonous man on Luo Lin's head only pointed out a general strategy: surprise.

As a result, this task almost required Luo Lin to plan and implement it alone—this was a huge challenge for him who only needed to follow orders.

"Lord Zhen Fu, what should we do?" Finally, when the group of people slowly approached, a Jin Yiwei with the identity of the general banner asked.

The system of Jinyiwei is completely different from the official position system of the Han Dynasty. Liu Xie completely refers to the official ranks of Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty. Thousands of households, hundreds of households, trial hundred households, general banner, small banner, etc.At present, apart from Li Ru as the commander and Diao Chan who is also a co-prefect, only Luo Lin has been promoted to the rank of Zhenfu because of his meritorious service, and enjoys the treatment of an official of the Han Dynasty with a rank of a thousand stones.

Luo Lin really wanted to return a 'cold salad' in a chic and calm manner like the emperor, but after carefully sorting out the calculations in his mind, he still couldn't help adding a little caution: "Let's wait and see what happens, and when night falls, Follow my orders."

Finally, the sounds of cars rumbling and Ma Xiaoxiao came, and in the distance, a group of soldiers with bows and spears at their waists appeared in Jin Yiwei's eyes.Luo Lin wondered why he heard the sound of the carriage first. After all, according to his knowledge, there shouldn't be too many carriages in this pedestrian.

However, amidst the sound of the horse bell, Luo Lin's mouth gradually opened wide as the scene became clearer: This team not only has carriages, but also has more than 100 carriages!The cargo on the carriage was piled high, covered with sunshade cloth.But just the cloth used to shade the sun already made the eyes of the guarding soldiers turn red.

Even though Luo Lin wasn't in the middle of it, he could still feel the throbbing flames in the hearts of those soldiers: Ordinary people don't even have a piece of sackcloth to cover their bodies, but the owner of this team actually uses a very soft cloth to cover his body. Sunlight?One can imagine, how much should the things under the cloth be worth? !Not to mention, the owner of these goods has also spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy the post of Taiwei.

According to previous information, Luo Lin knew that the owner of this army was named Cao Song—yes, he had the same surname as Cao Cao. In fact, Cao Song was also Cao Cao's biological father.

During Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Cao Song, who was the great emperor of the imperial court, saw that Guanzhong was about to go into chaos, so he took refuge in Xuzhou early.At this time, Xuzhou can be described as one of the few safe places in the land of the Han Dynasty, which is equivalent to what the emperor said to go to Canada to settle down. The security is world-class, and there is no harassment from terrorists.

Cao Song built a villa in Xuzhou, and lived a life of red sunset.But Cao Cao had coveted Xuzhou for a long time, so he wrote to ask the old man to return to Yanzhou.At this time, Tao Qian also felt that he was not Cao Cao's opponent, and he wanted to send Zhang Kai to escort Cao Song back to Yanzhou under the pretext of Quexuan's rampant thieves.

However, Cao Song was greedy as an official all his life, and his property was so innumerable when he returned home, it was beyond Luo Lin's expectation.But at the same time, Luo Lin also understands that it is impossible for Cao Song, a man who has been in the officialdom for a long time, not to know the simple truth that people die for money, and money can harm one's life.But what if he didn't take the opportunity to transport him back to Yanzhou?
"Your Majesty wants us to protect Cao Song, right? But how can we keep so much property?" Luo Lin frowned in pain. However, when he remembered the emperor's words that "disadvantages are often opportunities" , he looked at Cao Song, a little white rabbit surrounded by wolves, and suddenly a bold thought arose in his mind: "If we grab this batch of money, everything seems to be logical..."
