Chapter 155 The layout made for the competition among heroes
Tian Feng is not only very famous in Julu, but he is also a talented person.
Maocai, as a regular examination and examination in the Han Dynasty, was mainly recommended by senior central and local officials.
Xiaolian was promoted by the county, while Maocai was promoted by the state. There were very few places and not many people recommended them.
Different from those who are promoted to be filial and honest, those who are promoted to be talented are generally a large number of serving officials, and their gold content is far beyond what Xiaolian can compare with.
Although the imperial examination system has been corrupted by the local government, the number of people who are promoted to outstanding talents is very small, so the requirements for those who are promoted are generally very high. In addition to their status and family background, their conduct is also mostly loyal. Although
There are also those who pretend to be fake, but compared to the "garbage" hidden in those who are impeached every year, the level of talented people is generally higher.
Among the counties and counties in Jizhou, the two most famous talents are Tian Feng and Jushou.
The person Liu Jian wanted to summon this time was Julu Tianfeng recommended by Sun Jin.
Sun Jin told Liu Jian that Tian Feng was very prestigious among the scholars in Jizhou, but he also had one of the biggest problems, that is, his personality was too rigid. He always spoke directly and had no way to mediate.
He also offended many people because of this.
It can be said that Tian Feng has many friends and enemies.
When Tian Feng was summoned from Julu by Liu Jian and stood in front of Liu Jian, Liu Jian knew that what Sun Jin said was right just by looking at his face.
"Mr. Yuan Hao's words made Liu Jian full of emotions. It's a pity that I, the pastor of Jizhou, will not be able to serve for long. Sooner or later, I will be transferred back to the capital. Otherwise, Liu Jian will definitely ask Mr. Yuan Hao to be the pastor of Jizhou and stay here.
The country will be prosperous and safe with you, sir!"
King Changshan looked at Liu Jian blankly and said tremblingly: "But, can this be done? Will Your Majesty agree?"
When Liu Jian finished telling his thoughts to Changshan King Liu Hao, Liu Hao jumped up from his place with excitement and fear.
Although Liu Biao has the name of a clan member, in fact, apart from his surname "Liu", his style of conduct and methods of dealing with troubled times can be said to be closer to that of a scholar.
"What!"
Historically, the clan power represented by Liu Yan was far away in Western Shu and could not play any role at all.
Liu Jian said: "If Liu Jian returns to Beijing or is sent to other states and counties the next day, sir, would you like to accompany him?"
"But now, the situation is completely reversed. The power of the local tyrants is really too strong. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, all the tribes in various places are secretly saving their strength. At this time, I must ask Your Majesty to give the various places a new power."
Only when kings have certain authority can they play a certain role in checking and balancing the local government."
Of course, if possible, it is not completely impossible to leave the state, but at least it cannot be too far away.
"In the past, since Emperor Gaozu, the emperors of the Han Dynasty have been using local tycoons to restrict the power of the princes and kings in order to consolidate the imperial power. Today, the princes and kings are indeed restricted to death. It can be said that nine out of ten kings have been abolished.
,"
If the Han Dynasty really fell apart, most of the local military forces would be ruled by noble clans and powerful men. Although the Han family has the reputation of being orthodox, when it comes to the overall power, its weight ratio is too low.
In this era, rural areas were still very important to scholars.
For people like Han Dang, Cheng Pu, and Guan Yu who are not rich, have a low family background, and are rich in cumin, if they meet a good monarch, they may be able to follow their master and wander around, running around to start a business, but for Tian Feng
Not for such a noble family.
Tian Feng Zhengrong said to Liu Jian: "The three tycoons are really determined, forged rebels, plotted the wealth of the state and county, and gathered grain and weapons. The evidence is conclusive. Uncle Fang cut off their clan and imposed laws. The reason is legitimate. Their properties should be confiscated."
Confiscation, why sell the land of the three tribes to the tycoons of Changshan and Julu at a low price? This is very inappropriate!"
"Uncle Fang was afraid that this incident would arouse the anger of all the tycoons in Changshan and Julu, so he wanted to sell off the property of the three tribes at a low price to benefit the hearts of the tribes. Tian Feng knew this! But according to Yi Feng, Uncle Fang is a
As the governor of a state, everything he does must be governed by national laws. If the three clans are exterminated because of their rebellious behavior, and they still have to worry about others, although it can alleviate temporary disasters, it will cause far-reaching disasters, which is extremely undesirable!
"
If there was an opportunity the next day, Liu Jian made up his mind to take under his command a "high-spirited and upright" person like Tian Feng.
"I'm not lying. After this experience of serving as the local pastor of Xijizhou, I have seen a lot and felt a lot. The Liu family of the Han Dynasty has lost all its prestige in the local area. Even if it is established as a local pastor in the future, it can be used
The number of clan members is too small and cannot support the extension of imperial power."
In this way, a difficult problem in Liu Jian's mind was solved.
After all, Liu Biao was a party member in the past, and he was one of the Eighth Grades. In essence, he was completely on the side of the world's nobles.
It’s okay to ignore these people.
He was a little unsure whether what Tian Fengzhi said came from his heart, or whether he just said some nice words to cover it up.
Liu Jian was very worried that if in the future he was considered to be a member of the royal clan in the competition among heroes, then in the collision between imperial power and noble families, Liu Jian would most likely be targeted first, and thus become the first
Sacrifice.
Is there something wrong with Tian Feng?
Because of this, the process of abolishing Shi and establishing Mu was several years faster than in history, which shows that the emperor was really panicked.
Chen Wang and Liu Chong were even more short-lived.
Either you can enter a formal official career, work hard for two thousand stones, and glorify your ancestors.
"Feng thought that after confiscating the property of the three clans, Uncle Fang could sell his fields, houses and lands, but he could not sell them cheaply! On the one hand, it could show the court's magnanimity and kindness to the clans, and on the other hand, it could also be used to inform the clans.
There is nothing wrong with what Bo did. The laws of the Han Dynasty can only be trampled by a strong family!"
Precisely because there was only such a single clan power, he was quickly targeted by the gentry warlords headed by the Yuan family.
However, he still stood up hurriedly and stepped aside to get out of Liu Jian's courtesy.
Tian Feng said with a smile: "After this incident, Feng also saw clearly what kind of person Fang Uncle is, and how Fang Uncle behaves is in line with Feng's intentions. It's a pity that we can't be together, but it's a pity."
After Tian Feng left, Liu Jian had a conversation with Changshan King Liu Hao alone, and the content of this conversation completely shocked Changshan King Liu Hao.
Liu Jian reached out and picked up the water on the table, took a sip and said, "I wonder what Mr. Yuan Hao thinks I did wrong?"
After the death of Liu Yu, there was no longer a systematic Liu family clan power in the Central Plains north of the Yangtze River.
Therefore, during the competition among the heroes, there was only one warlord from the royal family that could truly be called a "system".
After Tian Feng heard Liu Jian's words, he stroked his beard and remained silent for a long while before answering.
Tian Feng agreed to Liu Jian and help pacify the prominent families in Changshan and Julu counties to prevent them from causing any changes due to the elimination of the Zhending clan.
Historically, after Yuan Shao arrived in Jizhou, he never stopped thinking about how to deal with Liu Yu.
Liu Jian stood up, walked to Tian Feng, bowed to Tian Feng and said: "Gods have no merit, and masters have no traces. Sir, you can distinguish between public and private affairs, and you have a great appearance. You are truly one of the elites in the world. Please accept Liu Jian's advice."
A bow."
"You want to remonstrate with His Majesty and grant the princes and kings the right to open their own houses? Deran, are you crazy? Your Majesty will chop you up alive!"
"Tian thinks that Uncle Fang's move is inappropriate."
When Liu Jian heard this, his heart suddenly sank.
Liu Jian nodded and said, "Yes."
What he said was extremely powerful and pertinent, making people moved when they heard it.
But if a Jizhou scholar is given a pole to go to Jiangdong, no matter how high the treatment is, most people still cannot accept it in their hearts.
Although he also gave people the impression that he was very difficult to get along with, Tian Feng came from a high-ranking scholar family after all, and his etiquette was still very thorough.
"I heard that Mr. Yuan Hao is well-known throughout Jizhou and is an upright man. Liu wants to ask Mr. Yuan Hao to come out and handle this matter on his behalf. Is he willing to help?"
Liu Jian also took this opportunity to get acquainted with Tian Feng. Although Tian Feng did not end up under Liu Jian's account in the end, it was obvious that he felt good about Liu Jian's "upright" style of conduct, and Liu Jian also felt good about Tian Feng.
I am very satisfied with Feng's "integrity".
When a person leaves his hometown and is humble, no matter how good a benefactor he is, it is nothing compared to the family property.
He looked directly at Liu Jian, and the burning gaze in his eyes seemed to be able to incinerate Liu Jian.
But for Liu Jian, the Han Dynasty would eventually fall apart, even with these princes and kings.
Liu Dai or Liu Yao were basically given away for free.
But after all, it is better than being silently submerged by the flood of warlord rule like in history, without any effect.
In the end, it was Gongsun Zan who eagerly helped Yuan Shao remove this thorn in his heart, eliminating Yuan Shao's henchman.
Today, Liu Hong, under the guidance of himself, Liu Yan, and Dong Fu, has realized the many shortcomings of the Han Dynasty. Subconsciously, he may have been able to see a little bit of the disintegration of the Han Dynasty in the future.
But the emperor could not fully see through it after all.
But Tian Feng bowed slightly to Liu Jian and said, "Uncle Fang, there is no need to worry too much, and there is no need to doubt. What Feng said comes from his true heart. It is true that the three tribes violated Han law and did disobedient things, and humans and gods were indignant. Why?"
Can we not punish the crime severely?"
When these words came out, not to mention Liu Jian, but also King Changshan and Prime Minister Sun Jin who were sitting aside were dumbfounded.
According to Tian Feng's status as a talented person, even though Liu Jian was the state pastor, he could barely do this ceremony.
Tian Feng has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face, a pair of bright eyes, a straight back, a high head when he walks, and a crisp, loud and fast voice when he speaks, giving people a sense of fortitude, decisiveness and resoluteness.
It is not possible to become an official. If you choose to be recruited by the local government, you have to stay at home and wait for the land.
Liu Jian stretched out his hand to signal Liu Hao to calm down.
The purpose of selling off the properties of the three Zhending tribes at a low price is to appease the sentiments of the powerful people in Changshan and Julu. Moreover, Tian Feng's family is also a powerful scholar in Julu, so this matter is also good for their family!
He actually thinks selling at a low price is inappropriate?
Liu Jian looked at Tian Feng carefully.
Even if a mansion is opened for the princes and kings, they will only be dealt with in the future competition among heroes.
"As for the clans in the two counties, if there are any objections to this matter, Feng Zi will go and tell them! Let Uncle Fang share his worries and solve his problems!"
Liu Jian smiled but said nothing.
"Your Majesty, these are troubled times for the Han Dynasty. It's time for you, the kings surnamed Liu, to shoulder the heavy burden of our Han family."
Tian Feng said to Liu Jian: "Uncle Fang doesn't have to be like this. Tian Feng acted like this because he admired Uncle Fang as a person. Fang Bo was willing to do so many difficult things for the widow of a county rebel. Feng was filled with emotion. As long as Tian can
If you can do it, even if Uncle Fang opens his mouth, Feng will never refuse!"
Tian Feng smiled slightly and did not answer, but the meaning was already obvious.
"How can you be so sure?"
After performing the ceremony, Liu Jian asked Tian Feng to sit down, and then told Tian Fenghe what happened in Zhending County, and stated his idea - he wanted to sell the confiscated three wealthy properties to Juluhe at a low price.
Other wealthy families in the Changshan Kingdom used it to stop everyone from talking about Youyou, and at the same time to stabilize the situation in Jizhou.
Opening mansions for princes and kings, allowing them to have a certain degree of resistance to the prime ministers and county guards in local counties, this may be the only way for Liu Hong to continue to check and balance the local areas besides establishing animal husbandry.
But if Tian Feng was dissatisfied with Liu Jian's execution of the Zhending clan, there would be no problem. In order to maintain the dignity and stability of the local rightists in Jizhou, from Tian Feng's point of view, there was nothing wrong with not helping.
…
Liu Jian secretly thought: It seems that Tian Feng is dissatisfied with his method of killing the Zhending clan.
He, who is from Jizhou, would be reluctant to go to Youzhou or Qingzhou.
To Tian Fengyan, if he is willing to help Liu Jian persuade various families to buy the land and houses of the three criminal clans at a low price, then he is really helping.
Hundreds of years of suppression have crushed the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty. Nine out of ten kings have been deposed. This term is not an exaggeration.
This is what worries him most.
No matter how upright Tian Feng's reputation is outside, he is still a high-ranking scholar in Julu and belongs to the same camp as the Jizhou lords in a sense.
That is Youzhou Mu Liu Yu.
Therefore, before that, it is also a good choice to increase the power of some local princes and kings, the Liu family, to spread the firepower for him.
Although these princes and kings are incapable of doing anything, perhaps, when forced to the end, the power accumulated in their hands will be used as a stepping stone for themselves.
After all, Liu Bei was able to dominate by seizing the inheritance from his fellow clansman Liu Zhang.
Generally speaking, having these useless princes and kings is better than nothing!
There will be another update in the evening, but it will be later
