Chapter 188 Dragon and Tiger Master and Apprentice
Chapter 188 Master and Disciple Longhu
In this era, false festivals and false festival axes represented the emperor's travels. Any envoy who held the festival represented the emperor's personal visit, symbolizing the emperor and the country, and could exercise corresponding powers.
Of course, compared to Jiejie Yue, Jiejie's intention is more specific. Jie means that the minister can handle a certain matter on behalf of the emperor and exercise the emperor's due power in this matter.
This power can be administrative power or military power.
As for the holiday, the holiday things given by the emperor to his ministers are usually holiday wars.
Most of the ministers who go on missions to foreign countries and represent the emperor's favor to all directions are loyal and loyal.
Festival poles are mostly made of bamboo or wood, with tassels hanging on them.
The directionality of Jiejie Yue is more directional than that of Jiejie.
A weapon like a yue is similar in shape to an axe, with a wide curved blade and slightly upturned corners. It is bulky and unsuitable for use on the battlefield. It is mostly used for ceremonial purposes.
Holidays are when the emperor bestows festivals representing himself on his ministers, allowing them to perform etiquette on behalf of the emperor as envoys and handle various domestic and foreign emergencies.
The false festival ax naturally refers to the emperor giving a large ax representing himself to his ministers.
If Liu Hong was in good health, it would not be impossible for him to gradually use the method of checks and balances in the court, slowly peel off the cocoon, and get rid of this serious trouble.
"Your Majesty, Lu Ziqian is well-known in the country and respected by people all over the world. He is upright and upright, and he has always acted close to the royal family. And most importantly, he is Liu Deran's mentor, and Liu Deran is his disciple. Liu Deran has the power to pretend to be a yue, but
Once there is a rebellious intention and evil intentions, Lu Ziqian can use the power of his mentor to restrain him, so that the land of Hebei can be guaranteed to be safe."
As soon as Liu Hong dies, they will reshuffle the cards and divide the world's interests again.
But now, the Yellow Turban Uprising and the sudden rebellion in Liangzhou have disrupted the original structure of the court.
If this is the case, according to Liu Yu's understanding of Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi is likely to become Liu Jian's right-hand man and serve as his apprentice's deputy.
But no one expected that Liu Hong, who was about to die, would suddenly go to court.
But Liu Hong did not dare to make this determination easily.
Liu Yu said helplessly: "Your Majesty, among the clan, who else can do it besides him?"
One is a clan member of the Han Dynasty who holds a false ax, and the other is a great scholar in the world who is well-respected at home.
It's no wonder that Liu Yu mentioned Liu Jian's name. In this situation, Liu Hong couldn't think of a second person.
Naturally, it means that this person can conduct conquests on behalf of the emperor!
If not, how could he use a big ax to chop meat and bones on behalf of the emperor?
However, the Jiejie Yue is more specific and not as flexible as the Jiejie. The Jiejie can be used to handle government affairs, diplomacy, war and many other matters on behalf of the emperor, while the Jiejie Yue can only mean that the emperor has authorized his ministers to specialize in war.
Kill.
But the question is, what if Liu Jian is loyal to the Han Dynasty?
The emperor gave the big ax to his ministers. What is the meaning of this?
The problem is that he is going to die!
Before his death, the military power fell by the wayside!
If another battlefield similar to Liangzhou is opened up in Youzhou, the Han Dynasty will really be over.
Liu Yu has the important task of going to Qingzhou again. Now it seems that only Liu Jian can shoulder this important task.
Because of Liu Jian's behavior in Jizhou, he knew something about it.
The problem is that no one except the Han Dynasty can afford to hire Wuhuan people!
If job hopping fails, the Wuhuan people will have no choice but to start their own business.
Liu Hongqi asked: "Why should Lu Qing be transferred?"
He dragged his body that was about to collapse and issued three shocking orders.
Another new round of interest patterns is about to take shape.
All the ministers and aristocratic families in the court, and the rich and well-dressed people in the world are now waiting for Liu Hong's death.
The Hebei Chamber of Commerce and Industry established farmland, bringing in poor families from common people and restricting local prominent families...
If he really has no selfish motives and only cares about the Liu family, then what's wrong with letting Lu Ziqian go over and do big things with him?
But Liu Yu felt that there was nothing wrong with doing so.
From this point of view, regardless of size, Liu Jian is really the most suitable.
Liu Yu admonished: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The patient your Majesty has given you great power, and it will be difficult for the new emperor to control him in the future. But in fact, I am admonishing your Majesty to give Liu Jian a holiday yue, not to let him go on an expedition."
The power of the world is mainly to control the battlefield in Youzhou, so your majesty granted Liu Jian the right to use the holiday Yue, which shows the direction of the imperial edict, that is, he is only allowed to take leave during the war in Jizhou and Youzhou.
The power of the Jie Yue, whenever you leave these two states, whether to recruit troops or actively provoke war, you cannot use the Jie Yue, otherwise you will be punished for treason."
If Liu Jian had evil intentions towards the Han Dynasty, then Lu Zhi could use the name of his mentor to restrict him. This is true.
The war in Liangzhou has not ended yet, and if there is another civil strife in Youzhou, the central government of the Han Dynasty will really not be able to afford the investment given the current financial situation.
After all, giving the power to conquer the north on behalf of the emperor to a certain person, even if that person is his imperial brother or a clan relative, is still a military power and cannot be delegated at will.
Liu Hong nodded and said, "That makes sense."
If it were in the past, Liu Hong would never agree.
The Yuan family of Runan, representing the noble clans in Guandong, controlled the most powerful army of the Han Dynasty through Dong Zhuo. The loss of military power made Liu Hong feel on pins and needles.
If they don't want the Guandong gentry to follow the example of the Liangzhou battlefield and use their people to control the Youzhou battlefield, they must immediately support a military commander in Hebei.
Seeing that Liu Hong was happy, Liu Yu stopped talking and did not continue.
"Ai Qing, do you think he can do it?" Liu Hong asked Liu Yu weakly.
At that time, Liu Jian will have the final say in Jizhou alone.
…
"That's true."
On the contrary, He Jin had to rely on the rich and well-dressed people in Guandong and could not share Liu Hong's worries.
According to the current situation, Youzhou border area is likely to become the second huge battlefield after Liangzhou.
To put it bluntly, if the reputation and heritage are not taken into consideration, the Yuan family only needs to issue a family order to Dong Zhuo, so that Dong Zhuo can change his direction and directly destroy the Han Dynasty!
However, although He Jin was a general, he was not from a high family background and was unable to control the Kanto clan.
Liu Hong sighed weakly: "But, I'm still a little worried."
"In addition, Liu Jian is now the shepherd of South Jizhou and controls the military and administration of the four counties. After your majesty grants him the holiday yue, he can adjust Lu Zhi, the governor of Hedong County, to be the shepherd of North Jizhou and take charge of Anping, Hejian, Changshan, Bohai and other counties."
Because the weakness of the central government of the Han Dynasty has been clearly seen by everyone in the world.
Liu Yu could feel everything. Liu Jian was working hard for the stability of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Hong suddenly understood and nodded happily: "Aiqing is still thoughtful, too thoughtful."
Just like they now used the Battle of Liangzhou to control the main military power of the Han Dynasty with Dong Zhuo, they will definitely use Youzhou border counties to control more bargaining chips.
Once the central government of the Han Dynasty could not afford to invest and was unable to quell the war, it would inevitably have to rely on the Guandong gentry clan again.
These murderers hiding in the dark will inevitably come forward and start to control the whole situation with a compassionate attitude.
Especially the Wuhuan people who had been employed by the Han Dynasty for generations. They had always regarded the emperor of the Han Dynasty as their employer, but now their employer suddenly had no money and stopped paying them wages. Then these Wuhuan warriors suddenly lost their source of livelihood.
What will be done?
Job hopping?
There is no selfishness whatsoever.
The two masters and apprentices are like a dragon and a tiger meeting each other, and it's no problem taking Hebei by storm.
First, Liu Yu was appointed as the pastoral envoy of Dongqingzhou.
The second is to appoint Lu Zhi as the pastoral envoy to Northern Jizhou.
The third is to give Liu Jian, the pastoral envoy of Southern Jizhou, a fake holiday ax.
