He left the Qishan Mountains six times, made nine expeditions to the Central Plains, and died of illness in Wuzhangyuan.
Liu Chan completely told Zhuge Liang the history of the Three Kingdoms that he knew in his previous life, and Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment.
If what Liu Chan said is true, the grass on his grave must be more than a foot high at this moment.
Just——
Until now, he has only been to Qishan once.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang could not verify the subsequent history, because the emperor's sudden troops came out of Ziwu Valley, which caused the Han Dynasty to occupy Guanzhong in one battle, changing the general trend of the world.
This story is somewhat magical.
"Your Majesty!" Zhuge sighed and asked: "Your Majesty, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
After listening to the story told by Liu Chan,
He was convinced, but he was confused as to why Liu Chan didn't tell him this story until now.
"Hahaha!" Liu Chan laughed when he heard this and said, "My dear father, if I tell my dear father about this after I wake up, will he believe me?"
Zhuge Liang did not answer, but shook his feather fan slightly and smiled.
Of course he wouldn't believe it. If Liu Chan had just woken up and told him this, he would just pretend that Liu Chan was asleep and talk nonsense to him.
But it is different now. Although he has not experienced six expeditions from Qishan, nor does he know about Jiang Wei's nine expeditions to the Central Plains, he has experienced one expedition from Qishan.
Especially when Ma Su lost his street pavilion and finally killed Ma Su in tears.
Although this has not happened now.
However, Zhuge Liang carefully considered the situation at that time. He suddenly sent troops to Qishan that time because he wanted to catch Cao Wei off guard.
The result was the same. Not long after he arrived in Qishan, three of the five counties in Longyou surrendered to the Han Dynasty.
As for the remaining two counties, as long as he is given a certain amount of time, he can naturally incorporate them into the territory of the Han Dynasty.
Just because he later learned that Liu Chan had made a surprise attack on Ziwu Road, he had no choice but to give up his original plan and instead led his army into Guanzhong to rescue Liu Chan. He did not want to end up letting the Han Dynasty occupy Guanzhong first and then Liangzhou because of Liu Chan's adventure.
This was not his initial plan. Originally, his plan was to attack steadily and seize the Longyou counties first to cut off the connection between Cao Wei and Liangzhou, and the Han army would take the opportunity to capture Liangzhou.
If the Han Dynasty occupied the large territory of Yizhou, Liangzhou and Longyou.
Then, after running Liangzhou for a few years, let the Han Dynasty have a certain number of cavalry. When chaos breaks out in the Central Plains, the Han Dynasty can attack Guanzhong from Longyou and Hanzhong. Once the Han Dynasty takes Guanzhong, it will be able to compete with Cao Wei.
Capital of the world.
This was also the best choice for the big man at that time.
Later, facts proved that this strategy was correct.
The Han Dynasty only needs to occupy the three states of Yi, Yong, and Liang.
The world situation will change immediately.
Just,
Not through his plan.
Also, the reason why Zhuge Liang believed Liu Chan's story was very simple.
During the first Northern Expedition, before Zhuge Liang set off for the expedition, he really thought about giving his friend Ma Liang's brother Ma Di some opportunities to make contributions.
If according to what Liu Chan said, the Han army occupied the three counties of Longyou, he would indeed choose to choose a group of troops to block Cao Wei's reinforcements. If nothing else, he would really send Ma Di.
Moreover, according to the war situation at that time, the Han army occupied three counties, and Cao Wei would definitely send troops to stop it. Therefore, what Liu Chan said is true in a certain sense.
Of course, what's more important is the various novel weapons Liu Chan has made over the years, such as three-bow bed crossbows, cement, refined salt, and the explosives he made not long ago, etc.
If these exist in ancient books, it is impossible for people to completely lose them. After all, these are very advanced things, how can people abandon them?
"Your Majesty!"
After Zhuge Liang quickly digested this, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty has such a strange encounter. It seems that God is blessing the Han Dynasty and wants your Majesty to reshape the Han Dynasty."
"Yeah!" Liu Chan nodded.
Zhuge Liang was a little excited. He didn't feel bad about this. Instead, he felt that it was God's blessing. At the same time, he looked highly upon Liu Chan.
After all, according to Liu Chan’s so-called historical records, after more than ten years of his efforts and Jiang Wei’s efforts, the Han Dynasty could not escape the fate of destruction.
But things are different now. The emperor had an adventure and gained the ability to predict. And because of this adventure, the man had the grand occasion he is now.
The great Han Dynasty has hope for revival.
"Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang said again: "According to your Majesty's wishes, what should I, a big man, do next?"
Liu Chan knew the development of history and had knowledge of two thousand years later. He wanted to hear Liu Chan's opinion on how the Han Dynasty should develop next.
"Well!" Liu Chan paused. After more than ten years of imperial career, and because of him as a time traveler, the big man has undergone earth-shaking changes. Of course, he has already made plans for the future.
"I thought... we would have a strong army..." Liu Chan said with certainty: "When the time is right, I will lead the king's army to dominate the world."
"How long will it take?" Zhuge Liang asked.
"Ten years!" Liu Chan said with certainty: "As long as you give me another ten years, I will definitely be able to command the Central Plains, wipe out Wu and Wei, and unify the Han Dynasty."
Zhuge Liang has naturally seen the changes in Liu Chan over the years. He is no longer the gentle Adou back then. Now he can conquer the world even when he mounts his horse, and he can govern the country even when he dismounts.
Ten years——
Zhuge Liang agreed with Liu Chan's timetable. Although the big man has become strong enough now, if he wants to command the Central Plains now, although the big man now has this ability, it will also put the big man under tremendous pressure.
Before Zhuge Liang could speak, Liu Chan added: "In the next ten years, the Han Dynasty needs to reform the government, vigorously develop production and enhance national strength, and at the same time build more powerful advanced weapons and equipment. In this way, in ten years, I, the Han Dynasty, will be able to dominate the world in one battle."<
/p>
Last night, Liu Chan decided to have a showdown, and it was also after careful consideration.
Queen Zhang Yang, that is his wife, enough for him to trust. As for the courtiers, the person he trusts the most is naturally Zhuge Liang.
Therefore, he only showed his cards to the two of them and told them both of his adventures.
As for Zhang Yang, the main thing is to satisfy her curiosity, and at the same time, it also prevents her from asking questions when nothing happens.
As for Zhuge Liang, he is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. Even now, Liu Chan still cannot do without him and needs his help in handling some major military affairs.
More importantly, although Zhuge Liang died after exhausting himself in history, he was definitely a trustworthy and loyal minister.
However, Liu Chan is not stupid either.
Historical records may not be completely reliable.
After all, the Shu Han in history was the weakest among the Three Kingdoms. Even if Zhuge Liang had other ideas, he would have to wait until the Shu Han became stronger.
A person as smart as him would never engage in quarrels when he himself is not strong, so before Shu Han becomes stronger, he needs to do everything possible to unite all the forces of Shu Han.
However, if Shu Han succeeds in the end.
Will he be the same as before?
Liu Chan is not sure about this either. After all, there shouldn’t be too many examples in history of people with great achievements that shake their masters. The last thing that kings in the past dynasties feared was this kind of minister.
But now, Liu Chan is really not worried anymore.
There is no other reason.
After the Han Dynasty moved its capital to Chang'an, the strength of the Han Dynasty is now the largest among the Three Kingdoms. It is no longer the small Shu Han Dynasty in history that needed continuous northern expeditions to keep itself alive.
Even if the Han Dynasty does not expand externally, even if Cao Wei and Soochow join forces to shake the Han Dynasty, it will not be that easy.
However, Zhuge Liang remains the same.
Some people in later generations said that during the Shu Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang dominated the government and the public, and took over the power alone, bypassing the young emperor Liu Chan.
When Liu Chan first came to this era, Zhuge Liang had the final say in military and state affairs of the Han Dynasty. However, after moving the capital to Chang'an and occupying Liangzhou, Zhuge Liang slowly began to delegate power.
Especially after Xu Shu returned to the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang immediately handed over the internal affairs to Xu Shu, while he took charge of the military affairs, and the Han Dynasty had a separation of military and political affairs.
If he is really as some people in later generations commented, Zhuge Liang is a powerful minister who is good at power, and he will naturally not give up power easily.
Moreover, later on, he gradually began to return to Liu Chan.
Today's Han Dynasty, Liu Chan is no longer the Adou in history, and Zhuge Liang no longer has the final say in government affairs, but Liu Chan is more willing to listen to his opinions.
So to sum up, Zhuge Liang is not greedy for power, but the Shu Han in history. The lack of talents in the court who can take charge of his own affairs makes him dare not easily delegate power, because delegating power to some people with insufficient ability can only
Counterproductive.
In the end, it was because he shouldered the entire responsibility of the Han Dynasty by himself that he died of exhaustion in Wuzhangyuan when he was only in his fifties.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang is a loyal minister, an absolutely loyal minister.
In the future, the Han Dynasty will dominate the world, but now the Han Dynasty has more problems to solve. Liu Chan also needs Zhuge Liang's strong support, so he decided to show off his cards to Zhuge Liang.
Gu Mo
"Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile on his face: "You can tell me what I need to do next. I will not give up even if I die."
Reviving the Han Dynasty and restoring the Central Plains was Zhuge Liang's long-cherished wish in his life. Now that the situation in the Han Dynasty is very good, and now that he knows the emperor's adventure, he naturally hopes to see the Han Dynasty rule the world in his lifetime.
Liu Chan was waiting for Zhuge Liang's words, but he did not make any arrangements first. Instead, he deliberately asked: "My father-in-law, in your opinion, can I, a big man, suffer from any disease now?"
"???"
Zhuge Liang was stunned. He didn't think about this problem, at least not at the moment.
After listening to Liu Chan's magical story today, he just wanted to use his hard work, coupled with the emperor's advanced knowledge, and then strengthen his troops, and finally lead the Han army to the Central Plains.
"Government!" Liu Chan blurted out.
"???" Zhuge Liang was stunned again. He really hadn't thought about this, so he asked: "Your Majesty, please make it clear!~"
Liu Chan paused, sighed and said: "My strength is now stronger than that of Wei and Wu, but my internal diseases are still obvious."
"Same as Wei and Wu, I now rely on the support of aristocratic families."
"Yeah!" Zhuge Liang nodded.
"According to the historical data I have read in the future;" Liu Chan said: "Historically, it was Sima Yan, the grandson of Sima Yi, who finally ended the disputes among the Three Kingdoms. Sima Yan established the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but the Eastern Jin Dynasty did not last long. First, there was the Rebellion of the Eight Kings.
Then there were five random acts of chaos in China, which eventually led to chaos in the world."
"And these are also related to the strength of the aristocratic family." Liu Chan said with certainty.
Although Liu Chan is not a historian, and he only understands history by reading materials and listening to people's stories, he still understands a little about the historical development of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
The rapid decline of the Jin Dynasty is related to the strength of the aristocratic families. In fact, Liu Chan has been thinking about this matter over the years.
"We must start to change now and slowly weaken the power of the aristocratic families."
"How to weaken it?" Zhuge Liang asked.
Zhuge Liang is naturally aware of the threat from aristocratic families. Of course, he is also from a wealthy family, and he is from the Langye Ge family.
But it's different now. He is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and his long-cherished wish is to revive the Han Dynasty.
But these aristocratic families are potential threats.
"Improve the status of the people at the bottom!" Liu Chan said: "The imperial court increases the power of the people at the bottom and gives them a way to rise. Over time, the power of the aristocratic families will naturally be weakened."
"Imperial examination?" Zhuge Liang asked, stunned for a moment.
"Exactly!" Liu Chan nodded and said: "According to the historical data I have read, later generations solved the hidden dangers of aristocratic families through the imperial examination system, which gradually diluted the influence of aristocratic families in the court."
After Liu Chan said this, Zhuge Liang thought for a long time. Regarding the imperial examination, Liu Chan had raised it a few years ago. Later, Xu Shu also recognized this policy. He also felt that the Han Dynasty needed to weaken the power of the clan.
Just to prevent the clan from rebounding, after discussion, they decided to implement it slowly and not overnight.
After a long while, Zhuge Liang frowned and said calmly: "Then according to His Majesty's wishes, we will start the imperial examination system in advance and improve the court system."
Since kings for hundreds of years have chosen to use the imperial examination system to weaken clans, and the effect is very obvious, then why didn’t the Han Dynasty take action in advance?
"Thank you, Mr. Xiang!" Liu Chan nodded and thanked.
...
May 8, the first year of the rise of the Han Dynasty (AD 240).
Chang'an——
During this time, Chang'an was very lively, and young talents from all over the country continued to pour into Chang'an City.
They have only one purpose in going to Chang'an.
Scientific examination——
This is something that the imperial court had decided last year. This year the Han Dynasty will hold the first imperial examination. Anyone who is willing to serve the Han Dynasty can take part in this imperial examination.
As for how the imperial examination will be conducted, they don't know, but the imperial court has made it clear to the world that once they pass the imperial examination, the imperial court will appoint them to official positions.
The Han Dynasty kept its word, because before that, the Han Dynasty held a martial arts examination every three years, and those who passed the martial arts examination could become generals of the Han Dynasty.
Nowadays, many generals in the Han army became generals through military examinations.
If in the past, you wanted to be a general, or someone in your family was in the military, through recommendation, the court would appoint you to be a junior colonel, and then you would be promoted gradually through military merit.
It's different now. As long as you have the ability, you can take the martial arts examination and become a general. The top three in each martial arts examination will be appointed as a school captain by the emperor.
Although the captain is not a top-level general, he is still a middle-level general.
Because of this martial arts examination system, the Han Dynasty has added many capable military generals. For example, Tian Makita Houyoshi, the second place in the first martial arts examination, passed the martial arts examination and was named a guard captain, and then entered the Han army to serve.
p>
After the Han Dynasty continued to conquer the north and south in recent years, after the Battle of Jinzhong, Tian Mu had been promoted to the rank of general.
Imperial Examination——
No need to think about it, this is naturally the same as the military examination, but the imperial examination is an examination for literati, so soon after the imperial edict was issued, students from all over the country began to prepare and wait for this imperial examination.
...
Just after noon.
Xu Shu, the imperial censor, walked into the Xuanshi Hall.
"Welcome to your majesty!"
"Excuse me, Xu Aiqing!" Liu Chan raised his hand slightly. After Xu Shu sat down, Liu Chan asked: "How is it? How many people are participating in the scientific examination?"
This is the first time that the imperial examination has been held in the Han Dynasty. Although the previous martial arts examination has been held for more than ten years, it has gradually become standardized.
However, this is the first time for the imperial examination.
Moreover, this imperial examination is somewhat different from the military examination.
First of all, for the martial arts examination, you must first pass the county examination, the county examination, then the Beijing examination, and finally the palace examination.
Success is achieved only after passing through various selections and finally entering the imperial examination.
In fact, the same can be said for the imperial examination. However, among the current Han Dynasty, those who can take the imperial examination are mainly descendants of the clan, although Liu Chan asked Zhang Shao to open many government-run academies in Shuzhong two years ago.
However, these children in the academy have only been studying for two or three years. If they are asked to take the scientific examination now, how will they do it?
Moreover, many of them are still too young. Based on the minimum age of admission being six years old, the academy has only been in operation for three years until this year.
In other words, the youngest academy student is only nine years old now.
A nine-year-old child taking a scientific examination?
What's going on?
Originally, Liu Chan planned to wait a few more years for these children to be older before starting the imperial examination.
However, it is the old man in front of me, Xu Shu.
When the smallpox epidemic ended last year, Xu Shu proposed to hold scientific expeditions. The reason was that the Han Dynasty had expanded its territory and needed some talents to manage these counties.
Later, he also told Liu Chan the reason in private.
The purpose of the imperial examination is to allow ordinary people to gradually enter the officialdom through the scientific examination, thereby gradually diluting the power of the imperial family.
However, if you wait until those children can be used as a reference, in a certain sense, it will reduce the interests of the aristocratic families. It is better to hold a few sessions first to let the children of these aristocratic families taste the sweetness first, and then wait until those common people grow up, and these people will pass the scientific examination.
The clan members who entered the imperial court had no reason to oppose the imperial examination.
Xu Shu, Xu Shu is so scheming.
"Back to Your Majesty!" Xu Shu said with satisfaction: "This year is the first imperial examination for my great Han Dynasty. Although there are not many people who applied for it, there are only 865 people in total."
"More than 800 people?" Liu Chan said, "It's quite a lot. I thought that the number of people participating in the imperial examination for the first time would not exceed 500 people."
Xu Shu was a little worried at first, thinking that with more than 800 people referring to it, the emperor would be disappointed, but Liu Chan not only was not disappointed, but was actually a little excited.
This made Xu Shu breathe a sigh of relief, and then Liu Chan asked again: "Have all the candidates arrived in Chang'an? When will the examination start?"
