Chapter 88: Civil and Military Prosperity
Not long after he treated Zhang Liang favorably in front of so many people and praised him as a man of great loyalty and wisdom, he was attacked with bad words. In Liu Bang's view, this was an insult to the emperor.
For the leader of a country to solemnly promise a counselor a high official position, generous salary, and supreme honor. This is the most unparalleled thing in ancient and modern times. It can fully show the king's magnanimity and trust in his ministers. It can be said to be a great blessing from heaven.
If after many days, someone says something unfavorable to the military advisor, they can be dealt with as usual. But now, he openly launches a verbal attack after the king's reward, and he is still so arrogant and wanton.
This is intolerable, because you are slapping the king in the face and treating the king's power as nothing. Even if there is reason and evidence, you cannot be lenient. What's more, there is no evidence now, and it seems like biting indiscriminately.
If Liu Bang didn't be tougher, he knew that he, the King of Han, would no longer have any dignity at all. His important ministers and beloved ministers would be unreasonably slandered by a man who wanted to die, and the king's face would be completely lost.
Moreover, if Liu Bang did not express his attitude, he would definitely make his military advisers feel disheartened, leading to the collapse of his image as a lover of talents, and thus he would be infamy, and the talented people in the world would no longer be the first to serve.
The main reason why the Han Dynasty was able to establish and become stronger was that there were many talented people. There were many talented people in the army and in the counties and counties. They all worked with loyalty and made the best use of their talents.
In terms of government affairs and territorial governance, headed by Zhang Liang and Xiao He, hundreds of world-famous talents gathered in the Han Dynasty and were distributed all over the country, down to a small county. Each performed their own duties, managing local money, food, population, public security and taxation.
Some of these scribes were friends and colleagues of Xiao He, while others were ambitious people who admired the King of Han. The virtuous name of the Lord of Han spread throughout the world, and any literati with some ambition wanted to achieve great achievements.
Since political talent was not Zhang Liang's strong point or favorite, he did not make friends with any political talents before joining the Han Dynasty. Therefore, at the beginning, there were no people under his command who were good at politics. However, Zhang Liang was not convinced by Xiao He, so he personally cultivated a group of political talents.
, after passing the examination, they were recommended to the king and sent to various places for training.
So far, there are dozens of Zhang Liang's trusted politicians, basically in every small town in the Han Dynasty. Their relationship with Xiao He's people is not very harmonious, so they are divided into two factions.
Although there is a tendency of conflict, no major conflicts have occurred in recent years. If it were not for the years of war, the two factions would have broken off and fought each other long ago.
Furthermore, with the King of Han in charge, the local officials did not dare to act rashly. If the King of Han did not die, no one would dare to make a big fuss even if the Han Dynasty had already unified the world. No matter how calm they were, they would eventually endure and just make small fuss.
Because the King of Han's iron-blooded methods are well known to the world. He treats virtuous ministers very well and treats treacherous ministers with great courtesy. However, he has a completely different attitude towards treacherous ministers. He not only condemns and publicizes them, ruining his reputation, but also tortures and then kills them.
Do not leave the whole body behind after death.
Scholars and politicians are well aware of the pros and cons. As long as they have the slightest scruples, they will definitely not take action before the time comes. When the time comes, they will act with thunderous force.
The literati are different from the warriors of the time. Most of the warriors are impulsive and few have brains. However, the literati in troubled times are very good at surviving and can bend and stretch, so they have the patience to wait for opportunities.
What's more, these people are either Zhang Liang's family or Xiao He's family. With these two mountains leaning on them, they have to live with their tail between their legs while having no fear. Otherwise, without the King of Han taking action, the master will suppress them and they will shed their skin even if they don't die.
Therefore, no matter how fierce the struggle between the two local factions was, they did not dare to alarm the masters above the court. Although Zhang Liang and Xiao He did not deliberately pay attention to this kind of thing, they were well aware of it and acquiesced to the actions of these gangsters.
Ever since Zhang Liang surrendered to the Han Dynasty, he aspired to achieve great success and reach the top of the world. The only obstacle was Xiao He, the prime minister who had won the trust and respect of the King of Han.
It is said that when the King of Han was the chief of the pavilion, Xiao He was the superior. With such a noble status, he actually faced the King of Han as a relative and friend every time. Over time, the relationship between the two was extraordinary.
Over the past few years, Xiao He had completely controlled the logistics work of the Han Dynasty, and there had been no mistakes. This contribution was no less than that of the generals who fought desperately on the front line, and was a great contribution to the founding of the country.
With great merit and great trust from the King of Han, Xiao He is still the most powerful official in the Han Dynasty. Anyone who is recommended or supported by him can flex his muscles in the Han Dynasty.
The irrefutable proof is that Han Xin and Zhang Liang were both recommended by Xiao He. Now one is a general who leads the army alone, and the other is an outstanding planner.
It can be said that no one can shake Xiao He's position in the Han Dynasty. If you want to pull him down, the first thing you have to do is to pass the test of the King of Han. For the King of Han, as long as Xiao He does not rebel, then anything can be done to him.
Moreover, Xiao He did not make enemies in the court, nor did he have any conflicts with Fan Kuai and others in the army, and they had good relations with each other. Although he held great power, he never used his power to bully others.
No one would find trouble with a good old man. It is a blessing for the government and the public to have a powerful minister who treats others well. Therefore, no one has been an enemy of Xiao He in these years.
Of course, Zhang Liang is excepted. Although he has been recommended, it is not enough to make Zhang Liang willingly succumb to others. Fame and power are Zhang Liang’s ultimate goals. If his benefactor is in the way, he must be eliminated. For the sake of past kindness
Go ahead, spare one life at most.
This is the reason why Zhang Liang competes with Xiao He openly and secretly. He wants to dominate the world and be famous in ancient and modern times. He must get rid of people with similar status to himself. As a subordinate, he must maintain the relationship between heaven and earth.
land gap.
The prime minister is the head of hundreds of officials, how noble is he? The king will die immediately if he just says a casual word. This is a big gap. What Zhang Liang wants to achieve is to become the 'king' among the officials. He can easily decide the life and death of civil and military officials. At this point
This level can reach the unique state in ancient and modern times.
The Han Dynasty was prosperous in civil and military affairs, but in fact, there was a surging undercurrent. Xiao He was extremely intelligent and had already seen through all this. He did not adopt a counterattack strategy against Zhang Liang's secret attack, but acted wisely to protect himself when faced with the attack.
In the former Qin Dynasty, there was Shang Yang's reform, which enriched the country and strengthened the army; there was Zhang Yi's alliance, which destroyed the six kingdoms; and there was Bai Qi, who attacked the people and wiped out more than a million enemies. These outstanding figures will shine through the ages.
Today, in troubled times, both civil servants and military generals want to complete the feats of their ancestors and be famous for generations to come. For the politicians under Zhang Liang, only by holding on to their thighs will they have a chance to rise.
Ordinary people use the achievements of their ancestors as examples to strive for progress, but this is not the case for Zhang Liang. In his view, no one is qualified to compare with himself. Only by treating everyone as rubbish can one reach the ultimate level of human beings.
In the army of the Han Dynasty, there were fierce generals such as Yun, Fan Kuai, Guan Ying, Zhou Bo, etc., all of whom were famous generals in the world. They were in charge of recruiting, training, and leading troops and other military affairs.
Han Xin is a handsome man, and his troops are flexible and versatile. He has never been defeated. Now he has led his army to conquer dozens of cities, and he has made great achievements in opening up territory and expanding territory.
Therefore, having many talented people and being good is the foundation for the Han Dynasty to stand up and not fall down, and to grow from weak to strong. It is an inevitable trend for the military and government to be assisted by talented people, and the country will be rich and the army will be strong.
"My dear, if you are in a hurry to die, I will help you! Reincarnate as soon as possible!"
