After the eunuch of the Huangmen, Shizhong Zhongji asked in a low voice, "What's the matter if your Majesty summoned him?"
The eunuch of the Yellow Sect lowered his head and bent over halfway and said, "I am just passing an order for His Majesty..."
Zhong Ji took out two or three silver coins from his sleeve and stuffed them on the belt of the eunuch of the Yellow Sect. "Who doesn't know that the middle official is the most kind... Besides, if he is reckless and ignorant, if he accidentally bumps into His Majesty in some matters, wouldn't it be..."
The eunuch of the Yellow Sect quickly rolled his eyes, looked around, and then whispered: "Your Majesty just received the letter of recovery from Wancheng..."
"Ah?" Zhong Ji was stunned, but before he could figure out what he had come, Chongde Hall was right in front of him.
Emperor Liu Xie was walking around in Chongde Hall with his hands behind his back. When he saw Zong Ji coming, he immediately waved, "Aiqing Zhong, come on!"
Zhong Ji hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage, "Wei Minister..."
Before the chapter was finished, Liu Xie waved his hand, "No need to be polite! Come on! Watch the seat!"
Zhong Ji thanks again.
After Zhong Ji sat down, Liu Xie asked impatiently: "Do you hear about Wancheng?"
"Wan...wan...cough cough cough..." I don't know if it was because Zhong Ji had a break in his breath, or if he didn't think about it, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was choked by saliva and started coughing.
The Han Dynasty's etiquette was not as strict and complicated as later generations.
In front of the emperor who was so famous as Emperor Wu of Han, there were still ministers who dared to sit in front of him.
You should know that there were no pants and underwear in the Han Dynasty.
So is this slim sitting...
This was almost impossible to imagine in the later feudal dynasties. Of course, this was also related to the Tang Dynasty's change of etiquette norms in the court.
When Liu Xie saw Zhong Ji coughing, he waved his hand and asked the eunuch to fetch water.
Zhong Ji took a sip of water and recovered. He apologized to Liu Xie and said, "I have heard of this. General Zixiao has always been quiet and secure, and is consistent inside and outside, so he should not be falsely punished."
Liu Xie took a breath, "In this way, this Wancheng... is really recovered?"
Zhong Ji's thoughts were wandering around, but he was still calm on the surface, "It should be so."
Liu Xie hesitated for a moment, then said, "If this is the case... wouldn't it be... Xiangyang can go straight to Wuguan Road and enter Guanzhong?"
The reason why Liu Xie recruited Zhong Ji was because Zhong Ji was more inclined to the Han Dynasty, and he also had some knowledge of military affairs, and had some practical experience in leading troops. In Shandong, there were many people who knew how to lead troops and were proficient in military affairs, but among these people, there were very few who were loyal to the Han Dynasty and the Emperor.
Over the years, Liu Xie has made up for some of the situations about the world. It is naturally much better than when he was in Luoyang. In addition, the land of Nanyang is the place where Emperor Guangwu was prosperous, and it is the target of Liu Xie's attention.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the basin of Nanyang belongs to the central point of the Qinling and Huaihe River. It can reach the Central Plains by crossing Funiu Mountain in the north and its northeastern remnants. In the east, it is Tongbai Mountain leading to the Jianghuai River. In the south, it is Jingshan, Dahong Mountain and Tongbai Mountain as the boundary to connect to Jingchu. In the west, it is along the Han River and can be traced to Hanzhong. It can indeed be called the important place in the heart of the Central Plains.
Although Wancheng, Nanyang has always stated that it is neutral and does not participate in the dispute between Fei and Cao, everyone knows that the relationship between Pang and Fei Qian is much closer than that with Cao. Therefore, the so-called neutrality is just an excuse, but this thorn that is rooted in the hinterland of Nanyang has been removed so easily now?
This made Liu Xie confused, and what followed was a little fear and worry. Could it be that Cao Cao's strength had reached such a level?
There was no movement in this, nor did I hear of any fierce battle in Wancheng, and then I conquered it?
At the same time, the road leading to Guanzhong in the northwest of the Nanyang Basin is Wuguan Road. This mountain road is the back door leading to the core area of ​​Guanzhong when east and west confront each other. Historically, because of the steepness of Hangu Pass and Tongguan, the frontal approach of the pass will inevitably cause heavy losses to the eastern forces, so Wuguan Road has become another important road to attack Guanzhong. Liu Bang, who likes to walk the back door, stabbed the chrysanthemums of the Qin Dynasty, and now does not mean that Fei Qian's chrysanthemums are also exposed?
If Wancheng was in Fei's Qian's hands, Cao's army would not dare to march into Wuguan Road due to flanking security issues. However, the loss of Wancheng now means that Cao's army can launch an offensive in the Xiangyang area of ​​Jingzhou with confidence...
Zhong Ji lowered his head and replied: "Your Majesty, although this Wuguan Road can enter Guanzhong, the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, and the valleys are deep and the streams are quiet, which is definitely not a smooth road. In the past, Emperor Gaozu had to enter Guanzhong, but he was... well, even if he could go to Wuguan, there would be Lantian as a hindrance..."
Zhong Ji originally wanted to say that Liu Bang could get into Guanzhong because Xiang Yu attracted the Qin Dynasty's large army, but then he thought, isn't this very similar to the current situation? It was just that Liu Bang met and now it was Cao Ren and Cao Cao. If Cao Ren really rushed into Guanzhong, then according to the intimacy between Cao Cao and Cao Ren, the so-called "Liu Xiang Fight" would not appear at all. At that time, we will work together to clear away the potential forces of Guanzhong Fei, and it is impossible to say...
Zhong Ji couldn't help but tremble for a moment.
At this moment, Zhong Ji realized the seriousness of the problem.
If Cao Cao took Guanzhong and Fei Qian's foundation was taken away, it could almost be said that his luck would be cut off. From then on, the Cao family would be the dominant one. No matter from that perspective, when competition turns into monopoly, how much loyalty and patriotism can be preserved?
"Do you know how many soldiers and horses are there in Xiangyang, Jingbei? What about Wuguan Lantian?" Liu Xie asked.
Zhong Ji was stunned, then lowered his head and said, "This... I don't know..."
Is he just a servant? And he is a servant on the edge. How could he know such important military data?
Liu Xie's eyes flashed twice and asked again, "If General Zixiao enters Wuguan, how likely is there to win?"
"This..." Tian Ji lowered his head and grinned for a long time, "maybe seven or eight minutes..."
After saying that, he hurried back, "But because Xiangyang goes north, it is difficult to walk on the mountain road. Wuguan has been refined by the cavalry for many years, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The victory and defeat... it is not easy to say..."
Liu Xie took a breath and was silent for a moment, "In this way, I would like to trouble you to go down first, sort out the Jingbei military affairs and report them to me..."
Zhong Ji was stunned and immediately accepted the order, "There is a good minister who obeys the order."
Liu Xie watched Zhong Ji retreat and frowned slightly.
As the emperor, he was wrong to care about the changes in the world's war situation?
If he doesn't know anything and asks his ministers to help find some information, is that wrong?
However, as the emperor, we cannot get the latest changes in the battle situation from the Shangshutai, nor can we get the specific military strength ratio from Cao Cao. Instead, we need other people to check it out. This is undoubtedly a very obvious signal...
But when this signal is sent, how many responses will there be?
Liu Xie sat on the throne, watching the setting sun, silent. Until the brilliance of the sunset disappeared at the entrance of the hall, the golden floor gradually turned gray and black.
...
...
Jiuquan.
Even though some of the troops were left for Zhang Liao to operate in Hexi, Fei Qian's remaining large troops still had great deterrence, making Xiliang's wealthy families dare not give up any more.
There is only one left in Sanming, Liangzhou.
Fei Qian, who was originally lawless in Xiliang and the Western Regions, also took out the ratio of rewards and merits. In addition to Zhang Liao's personal bravery and military talents, Xiliang, a lawless place that continues to travel on the edge of the Han Dynasty, will soon usher in a new order.
Zhang Liao and Yang Fu followed Fei's side and slowly moved forward with the army.
These two men had partnered during the rebellion in Pingxue District, and now they are getting together again. Yang Fu came from Xiping to discuss the plan with Fei Qian.
Now that the discussion is over, Fei Qian is ready to return to the army.
Although Zhang Liao has been following Fei Qian these days and has received a lot of guidance, he still feels a little uneasy when he is separated.
Fei Qian glanced at Zhang Liao, then drove up to the ground platform beside him and said to Zhang Liao and Yang Fu who followed him: "Wenyuan, Yishan, don't have to send him far away...just be here. If there is anything that has not been finished... I can report it to Yu...
Zhang Liao said to Fei Qian: "Lord, there is something happening... The person who joined the army in Xiliang... Dunhuang prefect Zhao Yuansi asked several times, asking how these people who joined the army should deal with it..."
Fei Qian laughed and said, "Entering the army? Haha... If this Zhang family does not die, no one will join the army. Once the Zhang family is dead, there will be many people who will serve."
Yang Fu said: "I heard that Dunhuang prefect Zhao Yuansi was very close to Zhang Zizhi... However, being in good terms with the wealthy family is also a common thing in the local area..."
Fei Qian nodded.
This is normal.
It's normal for abnormalities.
Even in later generations, many local councillors would have to look like big local enterprises and chaebols. They would have asked the congressmen to chase dogs and dare not catch chickens.
Zhao Xi, the prefect of Dunhuang, was also a famous scholar and a native of Guanzhong. When he was in Guanzhong in his early years, he was famous and loved calligraphy, so perhaps this is one of the reasons why Zhao Xi could stay in Dunhuang.
As for other reasons...
Dunhuang has gradually escaped from the rule of the Han Dynasty since the Yanxi period. Even if the central court sent a prefect, it often didn't work long in office or died halfway. When the general He Jin was still alive, he once recommended Zhao Qi to serve as the prefect of Dunhuang. As a result, Zhao Qi was captured by the rebels halfway and was spared for a long time. Then he fled back directly. According to Zhao Qi, he encountered riots again in Chen Cang, so he could only save himself naked, hiding in the grass without eating for twelve days...
He saved himself naked for twelve days without eating. Of course, Zhao Qi put nano-luminescent materials on his face. Just listen to it. It’s just like Wa Bing Kee Carp. It’s a fool’s filter, but the chaos in Hexi can be seen.
The position of Zhao Xi was like Xu Yi, the former prefect of Jiuquan, before Fei Qian had obtained the authority of the Xijing Shangshutai, or at the beginning, Cao Cao used the title of the emperor to divide the feud.
At that time, Cao Cao had also conferred some other people...
This kind of sand-blending behavior is a conspiracy placed 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 that Cao Cao threw over. Moreover, refusal to promote Cao Cao to the general gentry in Guanzhong or Shandong would also make these gentry disgusted with Fei Qian's emerging overall, which was not conducive to Fei Qian's promotion of new policies and the opening of Qinglong Temple to attract talents.
Xu Yi, Zhao Xi and others were rewarded by Cao Cao at that time and became a group of officials in Hexi.
Xu Yi was from Shandong, while Zhao Xi was from Guanzhong.
But no matter where you are, you will face the problem of local snakes.
Fei Qian had no time to take out his hands to clean up Xiliang, so he simply ignored it and let these people fight with the big Westerners. Of course, it would be good if they could win, and it would be no big problem if they lost...
Xu Yi and Zhao Xi obviously did not gain the upper hand in the fight.
Although it is true that without the support of the central government, local officials are indeed difficult to compete with local big families and surnames. After all, not everyone is Liu Biao and Liu Yan, but it is not that there is no way out. Once you lose your spirit, you will easily fall into self-comfort and self-intoxication. Xu Yi is like this, and Zhao Xi is no exception.
"The person who joined the army and served before was sent to Yinshan, Longxi in batches, and then they could enter the army after screening the good and bad. Those who are not willing to do so, but who have lost their rules often want to take shortcuts. It is difficult to form an army without eliminating the thief..." Fei Qian said slowly, "Wen Yuan said this matter, if you don't know what to do if you don't know what to do with military affairs, so you can ask about personnel affairs?"
"Lord's wise criticism." Zhang Liao bowed and said, "This Dunhuang prefect...is to stay or avoid it, I hope the lord will make it public..."
Although Xu Yi's death made it clear that it was a rebellion, it did not mean that everyone believed this statement.
After all, not everyone saw it with their own eyes on the scene.
In addition to the fact that many officials in Jiuquan were arrested and arrested and investigated, the officials of the two counties of Dunhuang and Zhangye were also panicked and at a loss. Zhao's move was to show his loyalty to the cavalry on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also tried to test whether the cavalry would leave them behind...
Zhang Liao mentioned this issue specifically and wanted to clarify it. If Fei Qian's attitude towards these sands is to thoroughly clean up, Zhang Liao and Yang Fu of course need to find an opportunity to take action.
Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "Stay for a while. Apart from plotting against others, if you use it, you can use it. If you don't use it, you will be exempted. It is not determined by your and I, but you must evaluate it according to the law and determine the position based on the achievements."
"The lord's intention is..." Zhang Liao said with certainty, "Will the term be calculated and evaluated?"
Fei Qian nodded and said, "Now, people are needed everywhere, and the appointment of civil servants must have regulations. You cannot promote them too much. However, if you arrive once in the past, you will be the prefect for a moment. If you have no county or township policy, how can you be the county magistrate? If you don't know the military affairs, can you be the general? This is a deception of the country."
Fei Qian appointed a large number of lower-level officials, including local county and township officials who were transferred to the position of bachelor of agriculture and bachelor of engineering. However, these people need a term of report on their duties and the process of selection and promotion. They cannot be appointed with their personal reputation and recommendations from a few people like before the Han Dynasty. Especially in the appointment of important positions such as the first and second leaders of the local area, they need to be cautious.
For the present, Feiqian still needs a large number of bureaucrats to manage the increasingly large territory under his own rule, and more officials need to go deep into areas that the Han Dynasty did not enter. Therefore, for the present, one is to be stable and the other is not to be anxious. In this process, there is a very important balance, which is the balance of class interests and regional development.
Fei Qian can now make decisions in one sentence. This seems to be majestic, but in fact it has a big problem. The reason why Fei Qian can make decisions in one sentence is his familiarity with talents from the Three Kingdoms. This is inseparable from Mr. Luo’s help and the contributions of later game film and television dramas, but what about others?
After meeting only once or twice, others will know who is stronger and who is more intelligent?
Changes in personnel and affairs change with the development of productivity.
In the late 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 ox plows, productivity further developed, and the economic system also transformed. The era of change was approaching. The vassal states were in power and plundered the land and population through wars and destroyed the country. For self-interest and family interests, various countries carried out reforms one after another, and were forced to break the system of family membership and family membership, and select and appoint talents from all classes across the country in an unconventional manner.
The Warring States Period was unified in Qin, Qin was destroyed and Han developed, and Han inherited the Qin system. Because Liu Bang himself was born in a humble background, he neither supported the old relatives and nobles nor was he admired by the traditional literati and intellectual class, based on the consideration of maximizing his own interests, he needed to make reasonable distribution of interests to all social classes. Therefore, he made a decision to follow the system of military merits and titles and develop the system of recommendations and recruitment in personnel selection.
Now Fei Qian has to comprehensively transform from following the military merit system and developing the examination system to the imperial examination system. This has been going on for hundreds of years in history. Even if Fei Qian knows the shortcuts and knows how to take shortcuts and does not go back, it will take a certain amount of time. In essence, the imperial examination system replaces subjective judgment and selection of people with objective evaluation methods, ensuring the rationality of the design of information rules and reward rules, and is the victory of the objective selection method over the subjective selection method.
The reason why the imperial examination system was continuously used in later feudal dynasties was because the imperial examination system could set up examination subjects according to the needs of the country. Regardless of family background, they selected talents from all walks of life on the stage of action, opened up the path for the people of the poor to advance to officialdom, broke the situation where the aristocratic families monopolized the officialdom, and thus gave and protected the interests of the civilian class as officials.
At the same time, the imperial examination system also met the requirements of gathering imperial power and winning over elites from all walks of life for us, consolidated the ruling foundation of the dynasty, and safeguarded the fundamental interests of the emperor.
In addition to the imperial examinations, dynasties throughout the dynasties also attached great importance to the "sharing and subsidy" system, that is, relying on the qualifications of fathers and grandparents to be directly an official without exams, in order to safeguard the interests of the nobles and ministers' group and obtain support from the nobles and ministers for the emperor.
In the triangular relationship between civilian bureaucracy and imperial power, the imperial examination system has achieved certain sharing of interests, but in the current environment of Feiqian, this system is still a seedling...
The personnel changes are not only in military generals, but also in civil servants.
From now on, Xiliang must determine people based on things, not people based on things.
"Jiuquan and Wuwei are the most important, Dunhuang and Zhangye are the auxiliary; minerals and trade are the first, farming and animal husbandry are the auxiliary;" Fei Qian looked at Zhang Liao and Yang Fu and said, "If officials are not worthy of use, they can report to the Information Department, and the examination department will be reviewed and the Shangshutai will be appointed and removed. Before the Shangshutai responds, the two people can be deceived and act on their duties and act on their affairs. They will be punished and punished by the enemy and other serious crimes. This is not the case."
Zhang Liao and Yang Fu looked at each other, got off the horse and bowed, and bowed to take the order.
Fei Qian also got off the horse, helped Zhang Liao and Yang Fu up with their own hands, then patted their arms, smiled, and then got on the horse again, driving the horse forward.
Xu Chu followed Fei, nodded to Zhang Liao and Yang Fu, and followed closely.
Zhang Liao and Yang Fu stood on the earth platform, looking at Fei Qian's figure for a long time, until the rolling yellow dust was like a dragon, leaping and disappearing into the sky...
