Liu Hong's appointment of Li Shushi can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone.
In fact, it is normal. A young man who has not yet been crowned has now become a high-ranking official with two thousand dan, such as the governor of Hedong and the governor of Bingzhou. This, this is too, too young. Look at other governors, whether they are Liu Yan or Liu from the clan.
Yu or the celebrities Huang Wan or Lu Zhi, which one is not a person who has been famous for a long time and has excellent moral character and political achievements?
The most important thing is that, compared with Li Shushi, a former Yellow Turban bandit, most of the ministers in the court felt that they were far superior both in terms of morality and ability. Suddenly,
Conspiracy theories, sycophants, and eunuchs were rampant, and Liu Hong received a large number of letters of protest at every court meeting.
So, our cute little Gan Luo was shot again. At the same time, Liu Hong also imitated his ancestors and suggested that as long as someone was willing to challenge Lu Shuixiu's coalition forces, he would not mind appointing another state shepherd, and then suppressed the matter.
live.
Of course, after this incident, the idea that Li Shushi was Liu Hong's "godson" spread like wildfire again. And this time, even Liu Hong had no choice but to ask Li Shushi to provide some more fireworks to comfort Liu Hong.
The soul in the hands of children's shoes.
Although Liu Hong suppressed the matter with his own strength, the three of them became tigers. Liu Hong himself felt that Bingzhou was too close to Luoyang. He could reach Hanoi directly after passing Tianjing Pass, and his troops were directed towards Mengjin, Henan. Even Li Shushi
Liu Hong's trust again, but
Liu Hong, his subordinates, may not be trustworthy. Although the incident of Huangpao's incarnation has not happened yet, similar mutinies have occurred more than once, so just like what happened in Xihe, Liu Hong decided to continue to add sand to Li Shushi.
However, due to excessive indulgence in daily life, Liu Hong's energy is far less than before. Moreover, there are many frictions between the general and the eunuchs over the issue of successors. Although he himself feels that the eldest son Liu Bian is not
He has enough ability to stabilize the turbulent man, and he has no ability to break free from the hands of his relatives. However, the youngest son Liu Xie is not very old, and he does not have a strong family behind him to support him. Once he ascends the throne, the outcome may not be as good as that of Liu Bian.
Therefore, Liu Hong decided to hand over the matter to the general He Jin. On the one hand, he wanted to test He Jin's ability, and on the other hand, he also planned to test Li Shushi's position in the scholar group.
When Li Shushi was in Luoyang, he had contacts with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and was influenced by scholars like Lu Zhi and Yan Zhong. Logically speaking, he should be more inclined to scholars. However, he did not have any obvious relationship with the eunuchs.
The manifestation of enmity, secondly
Because his background was not noble and his knowledge was not much better, he seemed to have little status among the scholars. In addition, this time Liu Hong himself defied all opinions and placed Li Shushi in a high-status position.
This caused a strong backlash from Shilin.
What would He Jin, who was currently having a fierce fight with the nobles, do? Liu Hong felt that he had a feeling of anticipation.
"Benchu, please tell me what your Majesty is planning to do, why he entrusted me with such a task."
Although as a general, He Jin does not lack his own staff, and there are many talented people who want to get better opportunities through his disciples, He Jin still likes to discuss many core issues with Yuan Shao. This
Not only because Yuan Shao has an enviable family background, but also because He Jin thinks Yuan Shao is a very talented young man.
Of course, there is another unspeakable reason that Yuan Shao is Yuan Feng's concubine, but he is appreciated by the current head of the Yuan family, Yuan Wei. As a result, the Yuan family, which was originally closely united, seems to have developed some subtle differences because of this.
Crack. He Jin
It is precisely because he hopes to further widen this rift through his closeness to Yuan Shao. Otherwise, a behemoth Yuan family will obviously be a very big trouble and unsettling factor for his own nephew who is very likely to take over the throne.
In fact, He Jin's idea was not without purpose. Think about the so-called "king and horse" situation in the Eastern Jin Dynasty that ruled the world together. Even if Yuan Shao had not mistakenly given up the opportunity to marry Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie, the momentum of the Yuan family at that time would have been
, I am afraid that neither Cao Cao nor the Sun family can resist the power of this combined force, let alone a guy like Liu Bei.
"Probably I want to see how bad this guy's staff is. But this guy does have some skills. The last time I saw him was four years ago. He is just a brat who can't let go. His wife is actually the best in the world.
Stunning, but judging from the look of that brat, he probably won’t be able to satisfy his wife. However, according to the news, his subordinates are quite powerful and ruthless. He has been able to do well in Bingzhou in recent years, and those
My subordinates should say they deserve all the credit."
"Haha, I've heard that some of the most famous ones seem to have been given up by that old guy Ding Jianyang. But speaking of it, there are really many talents in Bingzhou. Zhang Wenyuan is very good, and Uncle Zhang Zhi is also a brave man who dares to fight.
That guy, that sister named Wei Xu is also pretty good, but unfortunately there seems to be no chance..."
"General, let's think about how to complete the mission given by His Majesty."
Seeing that He Jin's thinking was going astray, Yuan Shao had to speak out to pull him back. Although Wei Xu's sister had a romantic streak of her own, her brother Wei Xu was a sister-controller, and there were many people in the Bingzhou army.
They were his personal guards. Those people were all good fighters who had fought on the battlefield. There were once some dandy boys in the capital who tried to use force, but they were defeated by the Bingzhou Army headed by Zhang Liao.
It was a good beating. Although the family of the playboy wanted revenge, it almost caused a mutiny by the Northern Army in the capital. Although Ding Jianyang was a bit more diplomatic, he was pretty good to his former disciple and helped a lot.
As a result, the dandy family finally had to bow its head. As a result, after this battle, the reputation of Bingzhou Army unity became louder in the capital.
However, He Jin's deviation this time reminded Yuan Shao. Although Yuan Shao, the dandy who was punished by the Bingzhou Army, also looked down upon him, he was still a son of the noble clan after all, so he was punished by a group of Qiu Ba.
. Even if it turns out that the dandy committed the crime first, it is not the turn of a group of untouchables in Yuan Shao's eyes to deal with it. Is there any sense of superiority or inferiority?
Therefore, if this incident can be used to break up this group of Bingzhou soldiers who are quite eye-catching in the capital, then it will also improve Yuan Shao's status among the children of the capital and further oppress his always arrogant younger brother.
There are benefits.
Therefore, almost instantly, Yuan Shao thought about the relevant interests and formulated a preliminary action plan.
These are the abilities of the children of aristocratic families. This kind of struggle that seems impossible to fight is in their eyes inextricably linked. And how to smooth out and make use of these inextricable connections?
It represents the achievements that the children of this aristocratic family can achieve in the future. These abilities related to their survival have become their instincts engraved in their blood.
Perhaps in troubled times, when political power comes from the barrel of a gun, this habit will not bring them much practical benefit, but sometimes it will hinder them from seeing the essence of certain things. But in the world of governance, this is what they do
The capital of victory.
"This is not simple. Just let us add some sand to Bingzhou. Just pick two at random."
"General, do you think His Majesty would leave it to you if it were such a simple matter? Those eunuchs have many people waiting for such a position."
"What do you mean by this at the beginning?" He Jin obviously heard some meaning in Yuan Shao's words.
"The general must have understood. It's as if His Majesty chose Lu Ziqian to serve as a small magistrate of Xihe County. Isn't it just to monitor Li Xue while ensuring that he will not cause chaos casually, and even clean up the mess at the critical moment?
.There is probably no need to clean up the mess this time, but if the people sent there make Li Xue dissatisfied, I'm afraid they won't get any benefits based on the power in Zhou Mu's hands."
"Well, yes, that's what His Majesty probably means. So is there any better candidate at the beginning?"
For such "little things" that have nothing to do with his own interests, He Jin didn't mind letting his subordinates show off their talents, so he directly pushed the ball to Yuan Shao. Anyway, he knew that Yuan Shao would definitely have something in mind. But then again, what about the other party?
He was also a state shepherd, and it seemed that the emperor liked him very much. Shouldn't we try to win him over through Huang Zhong's connections?
Although he had a warm relationship with the nobles, He Jin himself did not trust those wealthy families very much, because compared to his uncle, who thought wholeheartedly about his little nephew, those wealthy families obviously valued their own safety more. At the same time,
Because they are so big in size, they naturally have huge appetites, and they also like to push themselves further.
In comparison, although those powerful men from Nanyang also gave him a headache, considering that both parties came from the same area, their relationship was naturally closer, so they got along more harmoniously. Among the list of those who got along more harmoniously,
There was Huang Zhong from the Huang family in Nanyang, whose previous identity was not much different from his own, and the two parties still maintain a certain degree of contact to this day.
"Back to General, I do have some ideas, but I don't know whether to talk about them or not."
"But it doesn't matter." Although the two people communicated in private, they seemed to be discussing matters in front of everyone.
"Yes. Cavalry Captain Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, Cavalry Commandant Zhang Yang and General Zhang Zhishu all know each other. These two people are from Bingzhou and are familiar with the local situation. They also served as chief bookkeeper and secretary under the former governor of Bingzhou Ding Yuan.
The magistrate of Jinyang County must be qualified for such a job. Even the prefect of a county in a place like Shangdang and Yanmen can also be qualified."
"Then who does Taiyuan's Taiyuan governor originally want? This position is not easy to fill."
"Zhong Yao, the assistant minister of Huangmen, is enlightened and capable. He can be said to be a great man for a while. He should be able to live up to the divine grace."
Well, if Li Shushi hears the list issued by Yuan Shao, he will definitely wake up with a smile, for sure.
