3. State Shepherd and the establishment of the 14th State of the Han Dynasty
It can be said that the deaths of Geng Bi and Zhang Yi caused shock in both the government and the public.
Of course, what is more important is that the death of the two people has caused a corrupt situation in the northwest and Bingzhou. Both the Qiang coalition forces and the Lu Shuixiutu coalition have entered the core areas of the two states and have the ability to threaten the Gyeonggi region.[

At the same time, Xi Jian, the governor of Yizhou, was at a disadvantage in the battle with the local Yellow Turban thief Ma Xiang, who claimed to be a disciple of Zhang Jiao. The Yellow Turbans of Runan Gepo also repeatedly attacked the county, and even bought the official position of Taiwei with 100 million yuan.
Cao Song was dismissed from his post because of this, and rebellious Han and ethnic minorities frequently appeared in the four counties of Jingnan. The Han Dynasty seemed to be feeling uneasy everywhere.
For a while, there was a lot of discussion inside and outside the court. Many people were discussing the future of the big man and whether their family would be affected by this chaotic situation. Of course, perhaps there would be more people discussing the latter situation.
Some.
However, there was one person who did not think about this. Instead, he felt vaguely excited. This person was the clan minister surnamed Liu, Taichang, one of the current Nine Qings - Liu Yan and Liu Junlang.
"I say, Sir, do you know that the proposal you made earlier to 'replace the shepherds, stabilize Fangxia, and select important ministers to take charge of their duties' may be accepted by His Majesty. What do you think?
Where does this proposer intend to serve?"
A person who was familiar with Liu Yan and well-informed said this to Liu Yan before the morning court, revealing a strong feeling of envy in his words.
Zhou Mu can not only upgrade the governor who originally only had 600 dan to a real high-ranking official with 2,000 dan, but also has huge actual power. Who would not envy such a position that has both face and dignity, and who would not be eager to try it.
"How can I guess His Majesty's thoughts? This may be just a rumor spread by His Majesty."
Although Liu Yan also received the news and believed that the probability of his proposal passing this time was very high, he still looked calm on the surface. He knew very well that if the food was too bad, he would be criticized. Zhou Mu
Although this position has great power, it is precisely because of its great power that the emperor is more suspicious of it. If he is not careful, he will take it.
The other party showed no dissatisfaction with Liu Yan's smoothness. After all, they were all hanging out in Luoyang City. Who was the real fool? Especially since everyone was playing the same set of familiar game rules.
It is precisely for this reason that although everyone knows that the state pastoral system is about to be established, everyone has been arguing about it for a long time in order to obtain more benefits in this system or to prevent their opponents from obtaining more benefits.
, and it seemed like it was going to continue. Liu Yan didn't express his position, which was really normal. He was not one of those two idiot shooters who started fighting over how to deal with the wild goose before it was shot down.
So Liu Yan was indeed a man who had served as a prefect in a place like Nanyang and escaped unscathed. He was really very slick.
However, the court meeting, which was likely to continue wrangling, came to an abrupt end because of a sudden news.
Ma Xiang Huangjin of Yizhou first killed Mianzhu Ling, then broke through Luocheng and killed Yizhou governor Xi Jian, and then attacked Shu County and Qianwei County, causing great damage. It is said that now he is pointing his sword directly at Ba County.
It seems that they are planning to join up with the Banchen barbarians in Bajun who are ready to move. If this is really the case, then it can be confirmed now that Yizhou will no longer be the territory of the Han Dynasty.
Liangzhou almost completely fell under the attack of nearly 100,000 rebels. Yizhou is also facing the danger of total fall. If you go down the river, Jingzhou will fall in just ten days. Gongqi, the Wuhuan captain in Youzhou
Chou, You Beiping Prefect Liu Zheng, Liaodong Prefect Yang Zhong and others have all been killed by the Han Karasuma coalition led by Zhang Chun. Now Zhang
Chun Ye has gathered more than 100,000 people, stationed troops and plundered Youzhou and Jizhou. Bingzhou Xihe, Taiyuan two counties were destroyed, and other counties were also in danger. Qingxu two counties seemed to have the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army who had fled to the mountains and forests.
When they are reunited, the combat effectiveness of this group of people will definitely be no problem against those county soldiers.
Half of the Han Dynasty has fallen to the enemy, and the remaining half of the country is also on the verge of collapse.
Almost as soon as the news was received, all the quarrels were dismissed, because at this moment, everyone from the country to the small family of each person had personally felt the pain of the country being destroyed and the family destroyed. Even the original
The eunuchs who had always been opposed became shaken because their properties in various places became the priority targets of the Yellow Turban Army, resulting in heavy losses.
Perhaps those celebrities who hold heavily armed forces will become the vanguard to subvert them, but firstly, their wealth has been threatened, and secondly, they have no chance to win over those powerful people. After all, who can become the leader?
The state pastors with real power were not only scholars who had the power to make decisions. Their eunuchs had even greater influence on the emperor.
For such a debate, Liu Hong will not get involved. His role is more like a rubber stamp. After everyone has discussed it, hand the list to him, pay enough money, and he will stamp it to make it a legally binding document.
That’s it.
Of course, Liu Hong is the emperor after all. If he hates someone, there may not be anyone in the current court who can change his will. Because Dou Wu, Wang Fu, and Cao Jie who have such abilities have already left this world.
He Liu Hong has also grown up.
In fact, Liu Hong doesn't really like the setting up of the state governor, because since the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the power of the state governor has become more and more powerful, especially now that it has integrated military power and prosecutorial power.
In addition to the lack of clear administrative power, it can be said that the power is already very great (you want to use food and grass to block me, see if I don't read your book).
Originally such a powerful position still has certain restrictions, such as the limit of six hundred stone salary. The power is big and the position is small, which can ensure that the governor and the prefect have the power to supervise each other, and at the same time, it can also limit the time the governor can serve - well done
If you do well, you will naturally be promoted to become a prefect with normal power. If you do poorly, it is normal for you to lose your official position and lose your life. If someone wants to stay in this position
There isn’t even a reason. That’s an increase from six hundred stones to two thousand stones. If you don’t want to, then you have an ulterior motive, and you can kill the person. As for the reduction from two thousand stones to six hundred stones, first of all,
Not to mention whether you can afford the humiliation (Lu Zhi said that he was shot while lying down), but you need to be very careful in the operation. If you are not careful, you will lose your official position, your life, and your whole family.
But now that the governor has become Zhou Mu, it can be said that the last shackles of restraint have been opened. Unless the other party is a loyal and loyal minister, Liu Hong no longer knows how to limit the opponent's ambition. For example, in Yizhou, as long as Zhou Mu enters Yizhou
Prefecture, and then blockade Yizhou's several arteries leading to other areas (such as Hanzhong, Yinping, Bajun's defense gate, etc.) can turn it into an independent kingdom.
It's just that the power of the governor is so great, but three people have died in the process of suppressing the local rebellion. This shows that the governor without the ability to coordinate is still unable to meet the current needs. One is about to perish, and the other is to survive this period.
There is still time to find another way. Faced with such a choice, Liu Hong must drink this poisonous wine even if he drinks poison to quench his thirst.
Even if there were huge waves after his death, the big man could not die in his hands. This may have become Liu Hong's bottom line.
As a result, Taichang Liu Yan finally became the state pastor of Yizhou, a place he had dreamed of, a place where "riding on the border to defend the dangers and becoming the master of one area". Unfortunately, it was fate, and he and another Han clan clan member
Like Liu Biao, although he had great ambitions and wanted to achieve a great career, due to various reasons, he ended up becoming a conservative king in the eyes of most people and his son ruined the family business.
Huang Wan, the minister of animal husbandry, became the shepherd of Yuzhou.
Even though Huang Wan is not a military general and is not good at fighting, Liu Hong appointed him as the shepherd of Yuzhou very cleverly. You want to ask why? The reason is that there are so many powerful people in Yuzhou. For example, it was mentioned during the Yellow Turban Rebellion
Chen Wang Liu Chong himself is
He is a good shooter, and he has gathered a group of people who are good at shooting. Another example is Runan, the super family in Peiguoli. So as long as the relationship between these people can be coordinated well, although the Yellow Turban Army is powerful, it is not
The opponents of these powerful aristocratic families.
Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, was promoted to the position of shepherd of Youzhou and took over the overall task of conquering and appeasing Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju and the rebellious Wuwan people.
Is it over? No, there is one last command that surprises everyone. Well, it is also a command that readers can think of.
Li Xue and Li Shushi became the governor of the new Bingzhou state, and presided over the crusade against the invading barbarians.
Why do we have to emphasize a new word in front of Bingzhou? Because Liu Hong also issued a decree to divide Bingzhou into two.
Among them, the three counties of Yanmen, Taiyuan, and Shangdang are under the jurisdiction of the new Bingzhou. The five counties of Xihe, Yunzhong (including the five counties originally belonging to Dingxiang County), Wuyuan, Shangjun, and Shuofang that originally belonged to Bingzhou are under the jurisdiction of the new Bingzhou.
The jurisdiction of Shuozhou.
The state pastor of Xin Bing Prefecture is Li Shushi, while the state pastor of Xin Shuo Prefecture is Lu Zhi, who had been idle since arriving in the capital and was waiting for a new appointment.
Most people couldn't understand this decree, but a few people saw Liu Hong's preference for Li Shushi from these two consecutive appointments. He was so partial to Bingzhou in order to allow him to smoothly ascend to the throne.
For two.
Li Shushi was originally a native of Zhuo County, Zhuo County, Youzhou, so he successfully obtained the position of Governor of Xihe. But then he became a naturalized member of the Xihe Li family with the help of Tong Yuan, which means that his place of origin became Xihe, Bingzhou.
At that time, because he had already become the governor of Xihe, and not many people were interested in the position of governor, he muddled through in a daze.
But if we want to appoint a state pastor now, we obviously can't play around like this. Li Shushi will definitely have no chance of being a state pastor.
But Liu Hong still remembered several "debts" he owed Li Shushi in his heart. Failure to pay back the money was not a good businessman. Liu Hong did not want to bear such a reputation. But looking at other areas, there were not many suitable for Li Shushi.
place.
After all, Zhou Mu is far more troublesome than the prefect. He has a lot of power, but there are more people and things to deal with. Just like Li Shushi in Hedong, although he has the help of Yan Zhong and others, his political skills are still exposed
Insufficient characteristics.
But Bingzhou is different. Li Shushi has enough popularity there. Even the powerful people who criticize him have to admit that only such a powerful person can maintain the peace of the border area. From Zhang Yi's impeachment of Li Shushi, there is not much Bingzhou.
This can be seen in the official support.
Therefore, Bingzhou was divided into two and the Xihe River was transferred to the newly established Shuozhou. Li Shushi could legitimately become the shepherd of Bingzhou.
As for the new Shuozhou Shepherd, Liu Hong chose Lu Zhi. On the one hand, it was because Lu Zhi was familiar with the situation there, but also because Lu Zhi’s loyalty and stubbornness made him definitely make the recovery of the entire Shuozhou his lifelong goal.
.And based on the relationship between Li Shushi and Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi hopes that Li Shushi will help, will Li Shushi not help?
Therefore, although Bingzhou was divided into two, Liu Hong's hope that Li Shushi could fulfill the agreement made back then was evident. "It feels so good to be debt-free and light-hearted..."
ps: In response to the request of Ryu's innocent children's shoes, I would like to recommend a few books that I like very much. Because posting in the book review area always encounters censorship, I don't know what the result will be, so I post it here, hoping that Ryu's innocent children's shoes can read it.
Say it when you arrive.
Diablo's Destruction: The super warm and harmonious Crystal Palace. The protagonist is an idiot (no mistake), a math emperor (fog), a road idiot (no mistake), and a daughter-in-law (with a daddy halo). Generally speaking, he has a strong homebody personality.
It’s fun to complain a lot, and it had a great influence on our book (it’s one of the top 50 books in terms of word count from Qidian. It took me several years to write and I have been following it for several years).
Time Travel to Kill Sharks: I followed this book together with "I am Kwame Brown", but the rest of Kwame's writing except basketball is very confusing, so the fantasy that is thrown into the outer cover of Jiutian Literature Tour is better than the current one.
Those in the fantasy category are much better. Even though this is an online game. It’s not high-end, it’s sad but sweet.
Sword of Amber: This book is a deep pit, be careful if you fall into it, I won’t be able to get out anyway. The pig’s foot is a bit of a hit, but the writing skills are top-notch, and even I often have the urge to imitate the belief of the pig’s foot being a hit.
The background is magnificent and the author is a genius, but the degree of diligence is questionable.
Mercenary Group of the Three Kingdoms: It has been updated monthly. The author is also a very talented guy. After reading it, you will have the urge to read history again, at least that's the case for us.
Datang 2008: A fanfic of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, it is sadistic yet sweet, yet sweet yet carries endless aftertaste, making people unconsciously addicted. By the way, when reading the book, be sure to shout along with us: Axue is the best!!
!
By the way, this book has been completed and has not been downloaded. You can download it in full.
That’s all for now. Because I have to write a book, I don’t read books as much as before. These are the things that make my eyes blind. I hope you like it~
