When I came to report, Xu Shu brought officials from Runan County to see him.
"It's about to start again." The Queen Mother sighed in her heart, straightened her body, and her etiquette was meticulous.
Even if she loses her power, she will not allow herself to perform imperfectly. Being a political vase in the royal family is a hard job, and every detail of a business trip is a big problem.
Opening the car door, there were officials waiting in front of Luan Jia. Not to mention Xu Shu, the prefect, many of the county officials were former Han officials. He glanced at the Queen Mother thoughtfully and was shocked.
Everyone bowed down in fear: "I will pay my respects to the Queen Mother and pay my respects to Ambassador Liu."
The Queen Mother glanced at Ye Qing and raised her hand slightly: "Please get up."
Along the way, local officials from Yuzhou came to see him. In fact, it didn't matter what he said. The key was to reaffirm a kind of legitimacy.
After a while, the Han officials were dismissed one by one, their expressions were somewhat different from when they arrived, and their hesitation and hesitation were much less. This is the effect.
After receiving this group just after noon, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief. She was a little tired. At this moment, she gradually calmed down and looked at Ye Qing furtively. She saw that he was wearing an official robe and a pair of green boots. He was already over 10 years old, but he still looked young.
, there was no wrinkle on his face and he looked heroic.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but think to herself that she had seen this man working, reading many documents every day, and constantly meeting with officials. Thanks to his good health, he was much better than the late emperor.
"By choosing this person, I finally have someone to rely on." The Queen Mother was somewhat satisfied with her choice.
"I'm still short of talents." Ye Qing sighed at this time, and his tone became serious: "I'm short of both civil and military personnel, and I'm even more short of time."
He stood up, walked a few steps and said, "Queen Mother, do you think so?"
When the Queen Mother heard this question, she trembled and said calmly: "The world is so big that talents come out on behalf of others. The lack of talents is the responsibility of the ministers. At the same time, it takes time to slowly promote them."
"What the Queen Mother said is true, but I just don't have time right now." Ye Qing sighed, feeling very satisfied with his choice. It must be said that her political performance is very good because she can become a queen from the palace of show ladies and has rich experience in governing.
Perfect.
"It is appropriate to welcome the emperor who is politically mature. If you want to welcome back an ignorant emperor, he may be a pig teammate, and the kind that is difficult to dismiss..." Ye Qing thought, with Liu Bei's identity at this time, he was facing
Cao Gong, the old enemy in history, expressed deep sympathy.
Except for Xu Shu, who was accompanied by a county chief official, the county and county officials who came out to attend the meeting all hid under the shade of the trees. It was impossible to maintain the formation during the march, but once they stopped for repairs, it only took a moment, and it was difficult to keep the formation in order. This kind of strong army
It made everyone look complicated.
The faces of many pro-Han officials were filled with joy. Ye Qing's display of military power shocked everyone and proved that their surrender was worthwhile. This significance was even greater than that of the Queen Mother.
After a moment, I heard an order: "The Queen Mother, take off"
One person waved the big flag, and suddenly a series of orders sounded out, and then the team marched, densely packed with the cold light of armored soldiers.
Everyone's face changed color when they saw it: "It's already established, who in the world can control it? The wind in Yuzhou has changed."
To be honest, in the past two years, local officials in counties and counties have not been optimistic about the prospects of western Henan in troubled times, thinking that there may be headwinds.
Chen Qun was one of them. He took out a Xiang Fei bamboo paper fan from his sleeve and shook it slowly, but his mind was racing.
What I was thinking about was the scene of Liu Bei I saw just now, which was a bit unbelievable: "Chide Jiaolong?"
When I went to see the Queen Mother, I saw a golden phoenix with green eyes spreading its wings in a cloud of golden luck, making an inciting gesture.
A little weak, but still Fengge, which is much better than Chen Qun.
But on top of Ye Qing's head, billowing green and yellow gas formed a pillar, standing at the top, with many qi surrounding it to connect it.
There are claws on the waist and abdomen, and horns on the top. It is indeed a red scale dragon.
"What a vision." Chen Qun was shocked.
The Chen family is a famous wealthy family in Yingchuan County, western Henan Province, and Chen Qun is also the legitimate son. He has been a county official in the county since he was young. After accumulating merit, he was promoted to a minor official. Because of his family background, he was good at political affairs and went around in circles.
He took up a post in Runan County, but later he was unable to help but was brought under Liu Bei's administration.
Yes, I can't help myself.
For a long time, Chen Qun expressed this in private discussions with his friends Xun and others.
Chen Qun predicted that Liu Lashi would not be able to stay in Yuzhou for long, and made many analyses-Liu Bei's western Henan was facing Dong Zhuo's Henan Yin, and there would be conflicts at Hulao Pass every spring and autumn.
Although it was only a small local battle, and Ye Qing sent Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and even Huang Zhong to take turns, it was regarded as a military exercise, but if there is a war, there will be losses.
The loss of personnel, material loss, and luck loss...the accumulation of a little adds up to chronic bloodletting.
This chronic bloodletting may be hidden from outsiders, but it cannot be hidden from the logistics personnel responsible for manpower and materials. Many local officials saw it and were worried in their hearts.
"This may be the price for Governor Liu being favored by the emperor and being responsible for defending." Many knowledgeable people sighed like this.
As soon as news that was unfavorable to the emperor or the queen mother came out in the palace, Liu Bei was the first to write a letter of protest and marched into the army to fight with Dong Zhuo.
Cao Cao will also march at the right time, but he has a large army watching from the side to hold Liu Bei back.
Other princes are consolidating their forces at home, recruiting troops to prepare for war, and watching the show again...
It took two years of sitting and watching small-scale battles between Liu Bei's army and the Xiliang army, and at the same time he gained world fame, he suddenly stepped under the fortified city of Hulao Pass.
The princes praised Xuande Gong Zhaolie for his loyalty, but secretly laughed at Liu Bei's fool for compromising his strength and gaining a false reputation, so he was much less wary - you must know that the Liu clan, both the land princes and the indigenous princes, are naturally wary. Guangwu Zhongxing's
The story is there.
Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu started his business from Nanyang County next door to the south, which is only separated from Liu Bei's Yingchuan County two hundred years later by the Yingshui River... Is this a coincidence or destiny?
The Han Dynasty believed in destiny. When Liu Bei openly broke with Dong Zhuo, killed Lu Bu, and took root in Yingchuan County, many ideas took root in the hearts of all people in the world, and formed an undercurrent among scholars, especially those from poor families -
—Who doesn’t want to be Xiao He or Zhang Liang?
Sanxing Han Dynasty... Even Zhuge Liang is not immune to this temptation.
As in history, Chen Qun was tempted by the Yuzhou governorship, but was dissuaded by some unfavorable factors.
The princes are very capable, especially the people on earth who know Ye Qing's details. Since Ye Qing can deceive people all over the world, people on earth will also follow suit. There has been a rumor in various places for a long time. At first, it was said that the fortune-tellers believed that Liu Bei had the virtue of water.
, it’s Qin De... he’s really a master of tricks.
However, what he is talking about is reality, and Qin, as a dynasty before the Han Dynasty, is politically incorrect.
Later, it was said that Liu Bei was a Jin De, a pioneer who was responsible for the king's fortune... Another bad move, this time it was rumored from Yuan Shu who lived in Nanyang County a year ago.
Chen Qun didn't know these inside stories. He went to see Ye Qing in person and gave up.
"The result is kindness."
There were many scholars like Chen Qun. Ye Qing walked a lot at night and eventually encountered ghosts. He finally tasted the disadvantages of cheating.
Many people were very satisfied with this. Knowing that it was Yuan Shu who was rumored to be the forerunner of the throne, they laughed loudly: "Yuan Shu, are you crazy about wanting to become emperor?"
In short, people's hearts are trapped in reality, and smart people can see that Liu Bei still has two opportunities left.
Chen Qun was such a smart man. After meeting Liu Bei for the first time, he asserted: "The governor has two fatal problems. The first is that the clan cannot rectify its name unless the Luoyang orthodoxy completely falls."
"The second is that Western Henan must be able to withstand counterattacks from all sides, otherwise it will be squeezed out of Yuzhou within two years and will either move east to Xuzhou or Nantou to Jingzhou."
Xi Zhicai said that he could withstand counterattacks from all sides for more than four years... Although he didn't know why his lord set this four-year period, it seemed to be delayed until a certain point in time.
Chen Qun shook his head and sneered at this: "Four years? Brother Xi, do you think this is possible? Don't you see, every time Liu Dong fought at Hulao Pass, Cao Cao came from Yanzhou to watch Dandan... There were also some unknown bandits who attacked and killed him, and threatened him every time.
Counties and counties are all aware of the problems."
"When the east of Henan was confronting Cao Cao, Xu Rong led the Xiliang army out of Hulao Pass and attacked Liu Bei from behind.
"Yuzhou was attacked on both sides. Dong and Cao both had strong armies. Xuande Gong was exhausted in the tussle. He was constantly bleeding from both sides. It was locked."
"Even if a tiger has no choice but to lie down, a dragon cannot get water."
These words are not too far off, and are still spreading, but no one could have predicted the rapid changes in Yingchuan County and even the western Henan area.
Chen Qun was deep in thought. At this time, a colleague who usually didn't deal with him glanced at Chen Qun and got an idea: "Didn't Mr. Chen say that Liu Shijun has no future?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, has been able to control floods, build wharves and roads, and cultivate wasteland in conjunction with farming. Many of these have been handed over to merchants, large and small, who will advance them on their behalf to repay debts with additional income. At first, there were only a few people who responded, but now everyone has taken the lead.
A lot of it was built without spending a penny."
"The incident of the serial murder of two emperors, the collapse of the Han Dynasty's orthodoxy, destiny fell on the clan..."
"At the beginning of the spring, Cao Cao counterattacked to recapture the east of Henan, forced Sun Jian back to fight for Jingbei, and recently killed Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong.
"The two opportunities Mr. Chen mentioned have been achieved, what can you say now?"
Chen Qun stared at this man and then smiled: "I am too ill-informed, but isn't this a good thing for Yuzhou? From now on, I will work hard to serve you..."
He said this, dismissing the accusation lightly, but he was still confused in his heart.
It was not convenient for Xun Gong to reveal the inside story in his letter. He only said that Xuchang had changed a lot in the past year and a half and that he could go home and take a look.
"Maybe it's time to take a long vacation and go back and learn about the secrets behind the scenes with your friends."
Most officials did not expect it to be so far-reaching and did not care about the secrets behind the scenes. They only saw the brilliant aura of destiny on "Liu Shijun".
Many officials whispered and felt: "Liu Shijun has grown up, defeated Cao Cao and Sun Jian in a row, and killed Dong Zhuo general Xu Rong. Now the Red Sky Sword has been unearthed, and the Queen Mother has arrived. Isn't it destiny? These three times revived the Han Dynasty.
It's really possible..."
Invisibly, these people have a kind of self-consciousness.
Some officials with far-reaching thoughts are already thinking about performing hard and gaining the merit of following the dragon in the new dynasty.
Chen Qun, on the other hand, became a laughing stock in their mouths because of his previous misjudgment and his admission of poor knowledge.
