The servant Zhongji followed the Huangmen eunuch and asked in a low voice, "Why did your Majesty summon you?"
The Huangmen eunuch lowered his head, half-bent and said: "This servant is just delivering orders for Your Majesty..."
Zhong Ji took out two or three Hussar silver coins from his sleeves and stuffed them into the belt of Huangmen eunuch, "Who doesn't know that Zhongguan is the most kind-hearted... Besides, if I am reckless and ignorant, if I accidentally do something wrong,
I bumped into His Majesty, wasn't that the case..."
The Huangmen eunuch quickly rolled his eyes, looked left and right, and then whispered: "Your Majesty has just received the letter of recapture of Wancheng..."
"Huh?" Zhongji was stunned, but before he could figure out the answer, Chongde Hall was right in front of him.
Emperor Liu Xie was circling in the Chongde Hall with his hands behind his back. When he saw Zhong Ji coming, he immediately waved, "Qing Zhong Ai, come on!"
Zhong Ji hurriedly came forward to pay homage, "Wei Chen..."
Before Zhongji could finish speaking, Liu Xie waved his hand, "No need to be polite! Come on! Take a seat!"
Seed Collection thanked everyone again.
When Zhongji sat down, Liu Xie asked impatiently: "Have you heard about what happened in Wancheng?"
"Wan...Wan...cough cough cough..." I don't know if Zhong Ji lost his breath or thought better of it. Anyway, as soon as he opened his mouth, he looked like he was choking on saliva and started coughing.
The duel etiquette of the Han Dynasty was not as strict and complicated as that of later generations.
In front of an emperor as fierce and famous as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, some ministers still dared to sit in front of him.
You must know that there were no pants or underwear in the Han Dynasty.
So this is where we sit...
This was almost unimaginable in the later feudal dynasties. Of course, this is also related to the Tang Dynasty changing the etiquette norms of the previous dynasty.
When Liu Xie saw Zhong Ji coughing, he waved his hand and asked the eunuch to get some water.
Zhong Ji took a sip of water and regained his breath. He apologized to Liu Xie and said, "I have indeed heard about this. General Zixiao has always been quiet and peaceful, and he is the same inside and outside. He should not make false reports."
.』
Liu Xie took a breath, "So, this Wancheng... has really been recovered?"
A few thoughts ran through Zhong Ji's mind, but he remained calm on the surface, "That should be the case."
Liu Xie hesitated for a moment, and then said: "If that's the case... wouldn't it be... Xiangyang can take the Wuguan Road directly into the pass?"
The reason why Liu Xie recruited Zhongji was because Zhongji was more inclined to the Han Dynasty, and he had some knowledge of military affairs and had some practical experience in leading troops. In Shandong, there were people who knew how to lead troops and were proficient in military affairs.
There were many, but among these people, there were very few who were still loyal to the Han Dynasty and the Emperor.
Over the years, Liu Xie has learned more or less about the world's situation. He is naturally much better than he was when he was ignorant in Luoyang. In addition, the land of Nanyang was one of the most prosperous imperial towns of Emperor Guangwu.
Therefore, he is the object of Liu Xie's attention.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Nanyang Basin was located at the center of the Huaihe River in the Qinling Mountains. It was separated from Funiu Mountain and its northeastern remnant veins in the north to the Central Plains. In the east, Tongbai Mountain led to Jianghuai. In the south, it was bounded by Jingshan Mountain, Dahong Mountain, and Tongbai Mountain.
The boundary is connected with Jingchu, and the west is along the Han River that can be traced back to Hanzhong. It can indeed be called the heart of the Central Plains.
Although Nanyang Wancheng has always stated that it is neutral and will not participate in the disputes between Fei and Cao, everyone knows that the relationship between Pang and Fei Qian is far closer than that between the Cao family, so the so-called neutrality
It's just an excuse, but such a thorn stuck in the hinterland of Nanyang is now so easily removed?
This can't help but make Liu Xie confused, followed by some fear and worry. Could it be that Cao Cao's strength has reached such a level?
There was no movement at all, and I didn’t hear of any fierce battles in Wancheng, and then they conquered it?
At the same time, the road leading to Guanzhong in the northwest of Nanyang Basin is Wuguan Road. This mountain road was the back door to the core area of Guanzhong when the east and west were in conflict. Historically, due to the steepness of Hangu Pass and Tongguan, front-facing passes will inevitably make the east
The forces suffered heavy losses, so Wuguandao became another important road to attack Guanzhong. Liu Bang, who liked to use the back door, poked the chrysanthemum of the Qin Dynasty, and now doesn't it mean that Fei Qian's chrysanthemum is also exposed?
If Wancheng was in the hands of Fei Qian, Cao Jun would not dare to advance to Wuguandao due to flank security issues. But now that Wancheng is lost, it means that Cao Jun can confidently and boldly launch an offensive in the Xiangyang area of Jingzhou...
Zhongji lowered his head and reported back: "Your Majesty, although the Wuguan Road can lead to Guanzhong, the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, and the valleys are deep and secluded. It is by no means a smooth road. In the past, when the great ancestors were able to enter Guanzhong, it was a matter of... uh, well, even if it is
Even if we can get to Wuguan, Lantian will be in the way..."
Zhongji originally wanted to say that Liu Bang was able to sneak into Guanzhong because Xiang Yu attracted the Qin Dynasty's troops, but then he thought about it, isn't this very similar to the current situation? It's just that Liu Bang and Liu Bang met each other back then, and now it's
Cao Ren and Cao Cao. If Cao Ren really rushes into Guanzhong, then judging from the closeness between Cao Cao and Cao Ren, the so-called "Liu Xiang Controversy" will not happen at all. By then, they will work together to eliminate the potential forces in Guanzhong.
…
Zhongji couldn't help but shiver.
At this moment, Zhong Ji realized the seriousness of the problem.
If Cao Cao takes Guanzhong and Feiqian's foundation is taken away, it can almost be said that his luck is cut off. From then on, the Cao family will be the only one. No matter from that point of view, when competition turns into a monopoly, how much loyalty to the emperor and patriotism can be preserved?
Where is the heart?
"Do you know how many soldiers and horses there are in Xiangyang in the north of Jing Dynasty? What about Lantian in Wuguan?" Liu Xie asked.
Zhong Ji was speechless, then lowered his head and said: "This... I don't know..."
He is just a lieutenant, okay? And he is still a fringe lieutenant. How could he know such important military data?
Liu Xie's eyes flickered twice and then asked, "If General Zixiao enters Wuguan, what are the chances of winning?"
"This..." Zhongji lowered his head and murmured for a long time, "Maybe seven or eight..."
After saying that, he hurriedly went back, "But heading north from Xiangyang, the mountain roads are all difficult to pass. This Wuguan Pass has been trained intensively by hussars for many years. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The outcome... is hard to say..."
Liu Xie took a breath and was silent for a moment, "In this case, I would like to bother you, Ai Qing, to go down first, sort out the military affairs in northern Jing Dynasty, and report it to me..."
Zhong Ji was stunned for a moment, then immediately accepted the order, "I obey the order."
Liu Xie watched Zhong Ji retreat and frowned slightly.
As the emperor, is it wrong for him to care about changes in the world's war situation?
If he doesn't know something, is it wrong to ask his ministers to help him find some information?
However, as the emperor, he cannot get the latest changes in the war situation from the Chancellor, nor can he get the specific troop ratio from Cao Cao. Instead, he needs other people to check. This is undoubtedly a very obvious signal...
If this signal is sent out, how many responses will there be?
Liu Xie sat on the throne, watching the sunset, silent. Until the light of the setting sun disappeared at the door of the hall, the golden floor gradually turned into gray and black.
…
…
Jiuquan.
Even if some troops were left behind for Zhang Liao to operate in Hexi, Fei Qian's remaining large army still had a great deterrent effect, so that the big families in Xiliang did not dare to let go of one more.
There is only one left in Sanming, Liangzhou.
Fei Qian, who was originally a lawless horse thief in Xiliang and the Western Regions, also offered a head reward and merit ratio. Coupled with Zhang Liao's personal bravery and military talent, Xiliang, a lawless land that continued to travel on the edge of the Han Dynasty, soon became
A new order will usher in.
Zhang Liao and Yang Fu followed Fei Qian and slowly moved forward with the army.
These two people had partnered before during the Pingxue District Rebellion, and now they are reunited. Yang Fu came from Xiping to discuss strategies with Fei Qian and Zhang Liao.
Now that the discussion is over, Fei Qian is ready to return to the army.
Although Zhang Liao had been following Fei Qian these past few days and received a lot of advice, when it was time to say goodbye, he still couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Fei Qian glanced at Zhang Liao, then drove his horse up to the earth platform beside him, and said to Zhang Liao and Yang Fu who were following him: "Wenyuan, Yishan, there is no need to send you far... Just stop here, if there is anything else that remains unfinished"
The matter...you can report it urgently to someone..."
Zhang Liao said to Fei Qian: "My lord, there is a matter...the people who are surrendering to the army in Xiliang... Zhao Yuansi, the prefect of Dunhuang, has asked several times how to deal with these people who surrender to the army..."
Fei Qian laughed uncontrollably and said, "Designed to the army? Haha... As long as the Zhang family dies, no one will surrender to the army. Once the Zhang family dies, there will be many people who will serve."
Yang Fu said: "I heard that Dunhuang Governor Zhao Yuansi is very close to Zhang Zizhi... However, it is common in the place to have good friends with big families..."
Fei Qian nodded.
This is normal.
The abnormal is normal.
Even in the later generations of Japan, many local councillors, etc., did not dare to catch chickens even if they asked the councilors to chase away the dogs in order to look down upon the local big business and large plutocrats.
Zhao Xi, the prefect of Dunhuang, was also a famous scholar and a native of Guanzhong. In his early years when he was in Guanzhong, he had a reputation and liked calligraphy, so perhaps this was one of the reasons why Zhao Xi was able to stay in Dunhuang.
As for other reasons...
Dunhuang gradually broke away from the rule of the Han Dynasty from the Yanxi period. Even if the central court dispatched prefects, they often either did not last long in office, or simply died on the way. At that time, General He Jin returned
When he was still alive, he once recommended Zhao Qi to serve as the governor of Dunhuang. However, Zhao Qi was captured by the rebels on the way.
When encountering insurgents, I had no choice but to save myself naked and hide in the grass without eating for twelve days...
To rescue oneself naked without eating for 12 days, of course Zhao Qi put nano-luminescent materials on his face. Just listen to it. It is like lying on the ice to beg for carp. It falls into the fool filter, but the chaos in Hexi can be seen.
A spot.
The post of Zhao Xi was the same as that of Xu Yi, the previous governor of Jiuquan. They were all enfeoffed by Cao Cao in the name of the emperor before Fei Qian obtained the authority of the Xijing Shangshu Desi, or at the beginning.
At that time, Cao Cao also banned some other people...
This kind of behavior of mixing sand is a conspiracy on the table.
Fei Qian was also dumping sand into Shandong at that time, and of course he could not refuse the handfuls of sand thrown by Cao Cao. Moreover, refusing Cao Cao to promote the general nobles in Guanzhong or Shandong would also make these nobles dislike Fei Qian's emerging whole, which would not be conducive to
Fei Qian promoted new policies and opened Qinglong Temple to attract talents.
Xu Yi, Zhao Xi and others were those who were rewarded by Cao Cao and became officials in Hexi.
Xu Yi is from Shandong, and Zhao Xi is from Guanzhong.
But no matter where you live, you all face the same problem of local snakes.
Fei Qian didn't have time to deal with Xiliang at that time, so he simply ignored it and let these people fight with the big families in Xiliang. It would be great if they could win, but it wouldn't be a big problem if they lost...
Xu Yi and Zhao Xi obviously failed to gain the upper hand in the fight.
Although it is said that without the support of the central government, it is indeed difficult for local officials to compete with the big local families. After all, not everyone is Liu Biao and Liu Yan, but it does not mean that there is no way at all. Once there is no energy, it is easy to fall into self-comfort and self-centeredness.
Intoxicated, Xu Yi was like this, and Zhao Xi was no exception.
"Those who previously surrendered to the army will be sent to Yinshan Mountain in Longxi in batches, and the good ones and the bad ones will be screened out before they can join the army. Being thieves is not what you want, but those who lose their rules often want to take shortcuts. It is difficult to form an army without getting rid of the thieves...
..." Fei Qian said slowly, "Wen Yuan said this, I don't know what to do if it's not military, but it's about personnel matters?"
"Your Majesty," Zhang Liao cupped his hands and said, "I hope your Majesty will inform you whether this Governor of Dunhuang... will be retained or exempted..."
Although Xu Yi's death was clearly a result of treason, it does not mean that everyone believes this statement.
After all, not everyone was there to see it with their own eyes.
In addition to the many officials in Jiuquan who were implicated and were arrested and questioned, the officials in Dunhuang and Zhangye counties were also panicked and at a loss. On the one hand, Zhao Xi’s move was to show his loyalty to Hussar, and on the other hand,
They also wanted to test whether the Hussars would keep them...
Zhang Liao specifically mentioned this issue because he wanted to make it clear. If Fei Qian's attitude towards the sand was to clean it thoroughly, Zhang Liao and Yang Fu would certainly need to find an opportunity to take action.
Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "Stay here temporarily. Except for treason, if you can use it, use it. If you can't use it, don't leave it. It's not decided by you or me. It needs to be evaluated according to the law and the position is determined by performance."
』
"The Lord's intention is..." Zhang Liao said with certainty, "It will be decided after the term is decided?"
Fei Qian nodded and said: "Nowadays, manpower is needed everywhere. There must be regulations for the appointment of civil servants. Special promotions cannot be promoted too much. In the past, those who came with an order and became governors in a moment must be extinct. There are no counties or villages."
How can I be the governor of a county? How can I be the general if I don't know the military affairs? This is a move that harms the country."
Fei Qian appointed a large number of low-level officials, including those with bachelor's degrees in agriculture and engineering who were transferred to local county and township officials. However, these people needed to report on their duties for a term, and the selection and promotion process could not be done casually based on personal reputation as it was before the Han Dynasty.
Appointments are made based on personal recommendations, especially in the appointment of important positions such as the first and second local leaders, which requires caution.
For the present, Feiqian still needs a large number of bureaucrats to manage the increasingly large territory under his rule, and more officials are needed to go deep into areas that the big men have not set foot in before. So for the present, one is to be stable, and the other is
There is no need to rush. In this process, there is a very important balance, which is the balance between class interests and regional development.
Fei Qian can now make a decision with just one word. This does seem impressive, but in fact the problem is huge. The reason why Fei Qian can make a decision with just one word is his familiarity with the talents of the Three Kingdoms, which cannot be achieved without the help of Mr. Luo.
, it is also inseparable from the contribution of later generations of game, film and television dramas, but what about others?
Will other people know who is stronger and who has more intelligence after just one or two meetings?
Changes in personnel follow the development of productivity.
At the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the king of Zhou was unable to control the orderly rule of the vassal states. With the continuous improvement of production tools such as iron plows and oxen, productivity further developed, and the economic system also transformed. The era of change was coming. The vassal states were weak and strong, and through war
In order to plunder land, population and destroy the country, various countries have carried out reforms one after another for the sake of self-interest, self-survival and family interests. They were forced to break the family system of senior ministers and senior officials, and select and appoint talents from all walks of life across the country.
The Warring States Period was unified by Qin. After the fall of Qin and the rise of Han, Han inherited the system of Qin. Since Liu Bang himself was from a humble background, he had neither the support of his old blood relatives nor the aristocracy, nor the respect of the traditional scholar-bureaucrats and intellectuals. Based on maximizing his own interests, he needed to consider all aspects of society.
Therefore, in personnel selection, the decision was made to follow the military merit system and develop military service and military conquest in parallel.
Now Fei Qian is going to make a comprehensive transformation from following the military merit system and developing the imperial examination system to the imperial examination system. This has been a journey for hundreds of years in history. Even though Fei Qian knows shortcuts and knows how to take shortcuts and never go back,
It also takes a certain amount of time. In essence, the imperial examination system uses objective evaluation methods instead of subjective judgments to select people, ensuring the rationality of the design of information rules and reward rules. It is a victory of the objective selection method over the subjective selection method.
The reason why the imperial examination system could continue to be used in later feudal dynasties was because the imperial examination system could set examination subjects according to the needs of the country. It selected talents from all walks of life in the action arena regardless of family origin, and opened up the path for Han people to advance to official careers.
It broke the monopoly of the officialdom by the aristocrats, thereby giving and protecting the interests of the civilian class in serving as officials and in government.
At the same time, the imperial examination system also met the requirements of the imperial power to gather and win over elites from all walks of life for their own use, consolidated the ruling foundation of the dynasty, and safeguarded the emperor's fundamental interests.
In addition, in addition to the imperial examination, the past dynasties also attached great importance to the "yinbu" system, that is, relying on the qualifications of the father and ancestors to directly serve as officials without examination, in order to safeguard the interests of the noble ministers group and gain the support of the noble ministers for the emperor.
In the triangular relationship between civilians, bureaucracy, and imperial power, the imperial examination system achieved a certain level of benefit sharing, but in Feiqian's current environment, this system is still a seedling...
Changes in personnel matters are not only reflected in military commanders, but also in civilian officials.
From this moment on, Xiliang will judge people by things, not people.
"Focus on Jiuquan and Wuwei, with Dunhuang and Zhangye as assistants; prioritize minerals and commerce, with farming and animal husbandry as supplements." Fei Qian looked at Zhang Liao and Yang Fu and said, "Those officials who cannot be used can be punished."
The hearing department and the merit examination department will review and appoint and remove the minister. Before the chancellor receives a reply, you two can have someone pretend to perform their duties and do their affairs on their behalf. Those who commit major crimes such as treason and collaborating with the enemy are not exempt from this case.』
Zhang Liao and Yang Fu looked at each other, dismounted, bowed, and accepted the order.
Fei Qian also dismounted, helped Zhang Liao and Yang Fu with his own hands, then patted their arms, smiled, mounted his horse again, and drove forward.
Xu Chu followed Fei Qian, nodded towards Zhang Liao and Yang Fu, and followed closely.
Zhang Liao and Yang Fu stood on the earth platform, watching Fei Qian's figure go away for a long time, until the billowing yellow dust was like a dragon, leaping and disappearing into the sky...
