Chapter 138: Xuande Enters Beijing, I'm Sorry There's an Emergency at Home Today(1/2)
Chapter 138 Xuande enters Beijing (Sorry, there is something urgent at home today, I will give more than 10,000 words of compensation tomorrow)
In the camp outside Guangzong City, a Xiyuan eunuch came here with Liu Hong's handwriting.
Liu Jian sent someone to settle the angel, and then personally opened the emperor's secret letter to him.
As expected by Liu Jian, it was Liu Hong who wrote to himself asking how to best deal with the Jizhou Mu who was being closely watched by the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government.
Regarding this matter, when Liu Jian was fighting against the Yellow Turbans, he had already started exchanging letters with Liu Yan to discuss this matter.
After discussions with Dong Fu, Liu Jian wrote back to Liu Yan several times, and finally the two of them decided on a specific plan.
That is to advise Liu Hong to appoint the Sanbian Zhonglang as the three-bian pastoral envoy to Jizhou.
The reason for doing this is mainly based on the high stakes. It is only one way to promote Liu Hong's establishment of animal husbandry. The other reason is to allow Liu Hong to strengthen his trust in Liu's clan members, especially Liu Jian and Liu Yan.
Without trust, even if a precedent is set for establishing animal husbandry, it will not work.
Compared with those other ministers with other surnames who coveted Jizhou Mu, Liu Jian and Liu Yan divided the power of Mu Shou into three, which was equivalent to indirectly showing their loyalty to Liu Hong.
They wanted Liu Hong to see that these royal relatives were not seeking personal gain, and that all their actions were for the sake of the Emperor of Han wholeheartedly.
But this is what Liu Jian hopes for. To be an official, you don't necessarily have to get the most credit. Sometimes, if you get less credit, the effect will be better.
At the same time, Liu Jian's appointment as the pastor of Western Jizhou can be regarded as saving Liu Hong's face, and all competing forces will be more or less satisfied.
Let Liu Bei enter the capital as a prince, just to wait for an opportunity, and then go down to the local place as a prefect, and do the job of two thousand stones!
Although Liu Jian captured the thief Zhang Jiao, in terms of beheadings, Huangfu Song's army killed the most, so overall, Huangfu Song's meritorious service was higher than Liu Jian's.
In addition, in addition to gaining the emperor's trust, Liu Jian also had another thought, one that even Liu Yan had never thought of.
After all, Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo are now closely related to two famous families in the court, and there is only one position for Jizhou Mu. Although as far as the Yuan family is concerned, establishing Huangfu Song is the next best option.
But if two people can be on top at the same time, the people below will naturally feel that they have the best of both worlds.
Liu Jian smiled and said: "Brother, I have been thinking about it...Yun Chang and Yide are both generals on the edge of the town. It makes no sense to let people like them enter the capital to gild. Only you, not only are you one of the marching generals,
Talent, and also political ability, if we follow the path of Heyun Changhe Yide,"
The 800-mile Qinchuan River lies between Bashu and Guanzhong. It is difficult to get out of Shu, but it is also difficult to enter Shu.
But what is Liu Bei's current background and what kind of family is he?
During the Han Dynasty, he was the shepherd envoy to Jizhou in the west, the Marquis of Duting, and the brother-in-law of General Zhonglang who suppressed thieves!
What is at stake is His Majesty's heart.
…
Of course, although the school captain is in charge of the Liyang camp, there will also be a camp supervisor in the camp, which is similar to the position of military supervisor. Since he is directly subordinate to the imperial court, his power in the camp is generally higher than that of the school captain. Generally, they are
It was served by eunuchs appointed by the emperor.
This door is hard enough.
Liu Jian is not the case. His ideal is to break and then build, so that this land that has collapsed due to protracted wars and was ravaged by foreigners in history can overcome the pain of humiliation and evolve into a new and majestic land that stands on top of the world.
of dynasty.
This is purely modest. If Liu Hong really wanted to set up a three-sided pastoral envoy, he would definitely let the three generals who commanded the army serve on the spot. He would not have specially transferred Liu Yan to Jizhou all the way.
…
Regarding Liu Bei, Liu Jian wrote a special memorial to Liu Hong, clarifying his relationship with Liu Bei.
Merit is only one aspect. The key to becoming a prince or a general lies in the interests and needs of all parties.
The officials who advised Liu Hong on the establishment of Jizhou Mu did not expect Liu Hong to play such a trick and were caught off guard.
However, he cannot compete with his official position and title, and he still has to strive for the military merits of his officers and soldiers who have made meritorious deeds!
From Liu Jian's point of view, the Jizhou Shepherd was just a test. No matter whether it was Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo or Liu Jian, whoever was the Jizhou Shepherd could not last long, so there was no need to compete too much for profit.
In the Han Dynasty, Yizhou's productivity was not strong and its economy was relatively backward. However, it had a mountain barrier that was difficult for tens of thousands of people to overcome.
As for the imperial ministers and noble officials, the people they mainly favored in this war were Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and Liu Jian was not among their considerations.
Liu Yan may not have thought that far yet, but Liu Jian had made arrangements in advance for this thief from the Liu family's hometown.
The positions of the Jizhou pastoral envoys on the three sides were determined, and then the war generals of various tribes were awarded titles based on their merits.
After Liu Hong saw Liu Jian's letter, he immediately issued an order to move Liu Xuande to Beijing as Yulin Lang.
Liu Jian suddenly punched him hard on the shoulder: "You have also seen the current situation in the world. You and I have determined to do something big since we were young. Now the sea is turbulent and the situation in the country is chaotic. At this time, if you don't If you work hard, what should you do in the future? Show some backbone!"
Therefore, in terms of the imperial court, Liu Hong finally issued the imperial order and the Shangshutai made an order to appoint Huangfu Song as the Eastern Mu Envoy of Jizhou, Dong Zhuo as the Northern Mu Envoy of Jizhou, and Liu Jian as the Western Mu Envoy of Jizhou.
"Deran, I don't want to go to the capital. It's better to be more comfortable here. Luoyang is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed. It's not a place I can stay. I'm not as spiritual as you."
When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but sigh:
"In my last life, what kind of evil qualities did I have to accumulate to meet such a good brother like you!"
But in reality, their goal has been achieved. The two Zhonglang generals who were valued by the Yang family of Hongnong and the Yuan family of Runan have both become Jizhou Mu. Although one is from the east and the other is from the north, that is Jizhou Mu!
Therefore, in a sense, Liu Jian's submission was just polite to Liu Hong.
"Brother Xian, I know you want to encourage me to go to Beijing and achieve some success, so that's why you comfort me like this, but... alas! I'm really not suitable."
That's fine for other states and counties, but if the political power in Yizhou is too centralized and there are self-defeating people squatting inside, it will really be a headache for the future unification.
After receiving Liu Jian's letter, Liu Hong finally made up his mind.
"I mean it!"
"Okay, dear brother, thank you very much!"
Liu Jian had become Gao Shun's benefactor at this time, and the relationship between the two was extremely close. Gao Shun's return to Beijing to manage Yueqi was equivalent to Liu Jian's management.
This is actually a good thing for some ministers who directly remonstrate with the emperor.
But Liu Yan is different, he is just a self-defeating thief.
Liu Jian has always kept this principle in mind.
After Liu Jian's hard work, the rewards for meritorious service in his army were awarded.
The high-ranking positions in the five schools of the Northern Army are vacant, and the Sima in the camp is equivalent to half the sky.
Dong Zhuo used his identity as Yu Lin Lang and eventually became two thousand stones.
For Liu Hong, he is becoming more and more important now. The emperor cannot leave him for the time being, and it will be a matter of time before he returns to Luoyang.
Liu Jian estimated that since Liu Hong just gave him a random title of Zhonglang General, he thought that after a few months, he would definitely give up his position as general and transfer himself back to Luoyang Center.
It's like a hard bone that can't be spit out or swallowed.
Belongs to the defenders who develop the Han Dynasty’s frontiers and protect the security of the frontier areas!
Zhang Fei, on the other hand, was appointed as the captain of Liyang Camp under the instruction of Liu Hong.
Liu Bei was stunned for a moment after hearing Liu Jian's words.
The highest local official of a county is the prefect, and the highest official of a subordinate country is the captain of the subordinate country. Different from the general military commander who only manages the law and military affairs, the captain of the subordinate country also manages civil affairs and governs the people than the county.
Zhu Jun entered the right chariot and rode the general, the Marquis of Xixiang.
Of course not, you have to have a background and connections to have a chance!
For Liu Hong, because he had learned from Yang Qiu's mistakes, he didn't want Liu Jian to stand out too much.
But it's still worth it.
The power of a herd to guard a state is indeed too great, especially for some special states and counties. If only one herd is used to guard it, it will be very troublesome.
"Stop being so stupid and act like a woman with me!"
After Liu Jian made plans, he wrote a letter to Liu Hong. First, he gave Liu Hong a general explanation of everything on the battlefield in Hebei, and then he advised Liu Hong, saying that given the current situation, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans were still there, and the establishment of Jizhou Mu was the right thing to do. Be driven by the general trend.
Although Dong Zhuo had meritorious service, he also had his faults. He only served as the governor of the state and did not worship the general.
The imperial court worshiped Huangfu Song as the Zuo Chaqi General, and was appointed Marquis of Huai Li.
Liu Jian gave Liu Hong a choice to separate the state from the pastoral, a choice to divide the power of a state.
The soldiers were mainly recruited sergeants and prisoners, and sometimes soldiers from inner counties were recruited to strengthen the force. Liyang Camp was the northern barrier of Luoyang, the capital, and was often ordered to go out to the north of the camp.
This trick can be used to restrict others. Of course, Liu Jian himself may also be restricted.
Although Liu Bei knew that Liu Jian was very popular in Luoyang City, Liu Bei had no idea how successful he was.
Therefore, Xu Rong and Cheng Pu stayed with Liu Jian, Xu Rong served as the Sima of the Department under Liu Jian, and Cheng Pu served as the Marquis of Qujun under Liu Jian.
"Don't be such a loser!"
If his emperor brother had any sense, he would probably borrow Po Xia's donkey.
"It's a pity. Our future is no longer what it was back then. Just don't worry. When you get to Luoyang, whether it's the royal family or dignitaries, or the high officials, they will treat you with some kindness after hearing that you are Liu Deran's brother. .”
As I gained more knowledge, my ideals changed and my understanding of myself also changed.
One is related to his personal prestige, and the other is also for the future layout.
As long as everything has a beginning, everything will fall into place.
