July Liuhuo, as the name suggests, July is the beginning of autumn, and then the weather will turn colder. This traditional description of the season may be a little out of touch as the weather gradually turns colder over the years, but at least in the most basic tradition of the Central Plains dynasty
The Yellow River Basin is still very instructive.
In other words, the summer heat in Weishui in July has dissipated, but the busy autumn harvest and the somewhat cold late autumn have not yet arrived. This is the most suitable time of the year to get in touch with nature.
Of course, this sentence may not be accurate for the Double Ninth Festival after the autumn harvest and the March of Yangchun after the spring plowing.
But back to the Sanfu area at this moment, specifically, if we take into account the brutal killings during the previous year of Dong Zhuo's chaos, the suffering of the people of Henan during the migration process, and the relocation of civilians under successive military operations,
pressure, and the tyrannical posture Gongsun Xun showed before in front of Weiyang Palace... So whether it is the officials of the central court, the local people of Sanfu and the people of Henan who have just migrated, or even the surrendered Dong Zhuo troops and Gongsun Xun
The merging troops they brought seemed to need an appropriate, ceremonial activity to seek a sense of security.
Even if Dong Zhuo was killed, the three assistants were swallowed up, and the central guard general Gongsun Xun was subdued, wouldn't it be necessary to lighten the atmosphere a little to appease the people in the center?
Therefore, this banquet, which was originally scheduled to start 'tomorrow', continued to expand as the preparations continued to involve more and more people participating, thus it was postponed again and again, until tomorrow came tomorrow, and there were so many tomorrows. In the end, it turned out to be
It was successfully held in late July, and the scale of the event changed from an independent banquet for central ministers to a three-day banquet with a lot of involvement.
It is said that perhaps considering the political implications behind this banquet, even Ma Teng, Han Sui and others who led the troops to leave first wanted to hurriedly disband the troops and come back to participate, but were driven back by Gongsun Xun.
Three-day banquet.
On the morning of the first day, General Wei came forward and held a ritual sacrifice. He also summoned the three local elders of Sanfu and the middle-aged ministers of the court. It was more of a political posturing than a banquet. Although it was necessary, it was nothing too important.
So much to say.
From the afternoon of that day to the evening of the next day, the activities became particularly rich.
Among them, there was a Cuju performance that attracted the attention of the people of Chang'an, supporting the elderly and the young, a scripture debating banquet with the participation of a large number of celebrities, and an outing in which young nobles and officials spontaneously participated... which is also a blind date... Of course, the most important thing is definitely openness.
Spontaneous political rallies of various sizes under official activities. From the central ministers down, many military heroes, as well as officials from the Taiwan Affairs Bureau, as well as many local aristocratic figures in Sanfu, have formed their own teams to hold meetings through banquets or
Semi-public exchanges of opinions in the name of various activities.
The only thing worth mentioning is that it is said that Cai Bojie, a famous person in the world who was just married to General Wei and who should be the most suitable for such an occasion, never showed up. On the contrary, it was General Wei himself and Yang Biao.
, Wang Yun, Huang Wan, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and other real big shots, as well as the backbone of the shogunate and the core of the army brought by General Wei, one by one, they all showed no airs and spent almost the whole day enjoying themselves with the grassroots on the Weishui River.
.
But no matter what, in short, the effect of this activity is still very good, whether it is from the perspective of having fun with the people or from the perspective of appeasing the hearts of middle- and lower-level officials.
On the morning of the third day, Gongsun Xun, in the name of his master, invited important ministers and key personnel from the court, the army, and the local area to build a silk barrier on a small slope beside the Wei Bridge and held a formal banquet.
Starting from the Grand Sima Liu Yu who just came from Hedong, the three ministers and nine ministers in the court and their subordinates; plus all the ministers, censors, and Huangmen supervisors; and after Dong Zhuo's death, the descendants of the ministers served as
, and then there are the members of the Lang Department who are actually the core guards; there are also the core generals in the army currently stationed in Sanfu and the staff of the general guards; plus the county chiefs of Jingzhao Yin County, and although they have not served in official positions,
Celebrities such as Wei Duan and Zhao Qi who have great reputation in the local area... In other words, all the truly powerful people in Guan Sanfu are here.
In a sense, if the previous meeting in front of Weiyang Palace was to establish Gongsun Xun's supreme authority over the Central and Sanfu areas, then this time it was a prelude and briefing meeting to determine the specific power structure of Guanzhong in the future.
Why is it called a prelude?
Because this is a banquet after all, an occasion used to ease the atmosphere and bring closer relationships, and personnel appointments inevitably involve competition and gains and losses. General Wei was not willing to interrupt the harmonious atmosphere of the previous two days.
In fact, many people believe that Gongsun Xun will probably have to wait until the first court meeting in early August, or simply the first court meeting in early September to officially launch his appointment and arrangements... Especially there are more people who hold the latter opinion.
This is because if a comprehensive personnel sorting is carried out in early September, firstly, Gongsun Xun can calmly complete the political negotiations and formulate a complete list of shogunate and imperial vacancies; secondly, Gongsun Xun can also take the opportunity to first arrange the three assistants for this year's crucial autumn harvest.
It is completed through military control, so as to control the most critical thing for Sanfu in the next year - food.
Sure enough, in the morning, the autumn sun was shining brightly, the blue waves of the Wei River were rippling, and cheers could be heard faintly from the Cuju arena across the river. Gongsun Xun and several important officials in the court, namely Liu Yu, Yang Biao, Huang Wan, and Wang
After Yun, Huangfusong and others took their seats together, they were still smiling and chatting happily... There was no trace of the majesty of the man in the east palace of Weiyang Palace half a month ago who wanted to kill people on the spot, especially when he was sitting here at this time.
The people who were laughing happily there were the prey that were almost eaten that day.
Of course, as General Wei, Grand Sima, Sangong and Jiuqing took their seats together, the atmosphere below quickly became serious - it was difficult not to be serious when these people gathered together.
"For the longevity of General Wei." Now that they were seated, after everyone tentatively tested each other, it was Huangfu Song, the censor Zhongcheng, who took the initiative to stand up and make a fool of himself, making a gesture to Gongsun Xun, his former colleague and junior.
"Longevity for General Wei." Gongsun Xun sat still, but glanced around, and everyone around him, starting from Liu Yu and down, stood up and raised their glasses together.
However, when Gongsun Xun heard this, he just picked up the wine glass, as if he was about to drink it, but suddenly put it down again, and then he still sat still.
There were more than three to four hundred people at the banquet. Except for a few people who knew about it in advance or had expected it, the rest, regardless of their camp origin, became awe-inspiring when they saw this... Then most of them could only stand there holding wine bottles.
There, I was too embarrassed to move, and gradually panicked in my heart.
Of course, there are always people who are born bold and have a clear conscience.
"General Wei, what do you mean?" Zhu Jun, the captain of the city gate, asked angrily while raising his glass. "If you are dissatisfied with us and other people, just deal with it! But I have a word... If you repeatedly regard everyone as your enemy, then How is it different from Dong Zhuo?"
"Zhu Gong thinks too much." Gongsun Xun sighed quietly, but his voice was loud and clear, and he seemed not to be ashamed. "I just saw everyone raising glasses to celebrate my birthday. Such a grand scene naturally reminded me of Master Liu a few years ago. In the wake of my death, I was in Mengjin to cut bottles and face each other with the central officials at that time, and then we made an appointment to attend the ceremony... You all are sitting down... You guys said, let’s not mention that people are different now, why did the ignorant emperor lose his life and the eunuchs were destroyed? But the situation in the world has collapsed to this point?"
After hearing this, everyone sat down again and stopped drinking. Although they knew they had differences, they were speechless. Even Zhu Gongwei, who had just contradicted him, felt a little sad at this time - after all, he and Gongsun Xun left at the same time. Keeping filial piety in Luoyang, and then coming back is such a mess.
"What do you think, General Wei?" After a long pause, Yang Biao, the Guanglu doctor, spoke up. "What's the reason?"
By the way, after opposing the move of the capital that day, among the three princes, Situ Yang Biao and Taiwei Huang Wan were dismissed together and took over the empty post of Dr. Guanglu. Sikong Xunshuang tried to assassinate Dong Zhuo but failed and then committed suicide. This made Wang Yun As Situ, he became the head of the ministers.
But now, the situation has changed. A wave of current ruling ministers headed by Situ Wang Yun were beaten by Gongsun Xun in front of Weiyang Palace. Although they were not dismissed, their political prestige was greatly lost, but something bad happened again. , this allowed Yang Biao, Huang Wan, Zhu Jun, who stood under the right tower with their heads held high that day, and Huangfu Song, who had always had great prestige in Guanzhong, to regain political guidance.
Especially Yang Biao, his family is the third surname in the world after the Yuan family, and has always been called Yuan Yang. Counting Yang Biao himself, he has also completed the great achievements of the Four Generations and Three Dukes... More importantly, His family was originally from Kansai (Hongnong Huayin, west of Tongguan), which gave him both the local reputation in Kansai and the prestige of the central court, so he openly became the representative of the government officials, and in a sense, he was popular among the people.
"What can we do?" Gongsun Xun shook his head and sighed with emotion. "The underlying reason, didn't I make it very clear before in Weiyang Palace? The weak king and chaotic government lead to excessive exploitation, the corruption of the family to the point of blocking the entry of talented people, and the merger of powerful forces. The land has left the people with no place to stand... These chronic diseases of the Han Dynasty that have existed for hundreds of years are there. We are not blind, so why pretend to be ignorant? I heard that a man named Xun Zhongyu of the Xun family wrote an article specifically about it. If you really don't understand these things, you might as well ask Xun Gongda to make a copy and study it carefully. It can only be said that the ancestor of the ancestors at that time had the foresight to travel to the fields, but it was frustrating to have a descendant like the Ling Emperor. "
There was silence for a moment... Speaking of which, it had only been a few days, and these ministers were already used to keeping a low profile when Gongsun Xun spoke.
"However." Gongsun Xun continued. "Today I am not talking about these big principles...but I suddenly thought that when I left, Dong Zhuo was still the pillar of the country, just like he killed a lot of nine ministers, and now he is still Yuan Shaoshang, who wanted to conquer Guandong, was a party leader who only wanted to kill eunuchs for the country. Yuan Jiujiu, who is now across the state and county, was just an ordinary son of the noble family, Liu Yan, Liu Biao, you can think of it Have these people actually divided themselves into one party now?"
"My father just blocked the road because of rice thieves." Several people hurriedly rushed out and knelt down to apologize. It was the three brothers headed by Liu Fan. "Actually, they are dedicated to the Han, not to separatist rule...General Wei, you and my father know each other well."
For a long time, you should know that my father is just a cautious person... Besides, my family is a legitimate Han clan, how could they do such a thing?"
On the side, Liu Yan's cousin Huang Wan also hurriedly came out to speak: "General Wei, I would like to express my sincere words... People like the two Yuans cannot say that they have no different intentions now, but people like Liu Junlang, Liu Jingsheng, and Tao Gongzu of Xuzhou
, People like Kong Wenju in Beihai are just hindered by current events and have no choice but to raise troops to protect themselves. They may not have different intentions. If the imperial court orders and the road becomes clear, they will definitely obey the imperial order."
"Do you know that Jia Wenhe has taken the head of Li Jue in Wuguan?" Gongsun Xun shook his head for a moment, but then raised his lips to indicate. "And now that Wuguan is open, a memorial from the south will be sent to... Jia Kui, you will
The memorial sent by Liu Biao from Wuguan the day before yesterday was shown to Mr. Huang."
Huang Wan was at a loss and didn't understand. He reached for it and opened it. After just a few glances, his face turned pale and he was speechless.
Liu Fan, the eldest of the three brothers next to him, saw his cousin's expression change. He knew something was wrong, so he didn't care much. He quickly stood up and squeezed over to take a look. He only took one look before his expression became frightened, but he immediately said loudly: "General Wei,
This must be Liu Jingsheng who framed my father! He knew that you had pacified Guanzhong, so he did this to divert trouble to the east!"
Gongsun Xun didn't take it seriously and just asked Jia Kui to take the memorial and show it to the ministers one by one. One by one, almost everyone looked at it under the bright sunshine and felt as if they had seen a ghost.
It turns out that Liu Biao's memorial clearly stated that after Liu Yan repelled Dong Zhuo's attack, he was so proud that he actually imitated the emperor's ceremonial guard and built thousands of emperor's carriages in Yizhou! As a result, there were soldiers from Nanyang
The people who fled to Yizhou couldn't stand it and ran back directly to tell Liu Biao.
Regarding this, Liu Biao did not forget to express his views elegantly in the memorial. He said that Liu Yan's theory was "similar to Zixia's theory of doubting the saints in Xihe"!
Zixia was one of the ten philosophers of Confucius, but he abandoned the idea of "denying oneself and restoring rituals" and actually became one of the ancestors of Legalism. The so-called Zixia was mocking Liu Yan. As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, he actually wanted to start a new business...
...It is self-evident what it means for the Han clan clan members to start anew.
The memorial was passed down all the way. After the three gongs, nine ministers, ministers and censors, Jia Kui read it again in front of the censors, Huangmen, Langguan, subordinate officials and celebrities below.
This time, everyone looked really wonderful.
"I like to be direct, and I don't want to hide anything when I speak." Gongsun Xun laughed loudly from above. "Huang Gong, based on this memorial, let's be honest, either Liu Junlang really had evil intentions, or he was
Liu Jingsheng is framing him... And if Liu Jingsheng, the former Eight Horsemen, framed Yizhou Mu in this way, there is only one way to say it, and that is what Liu Fan said just now. It was Liu Jingsheng who wanted to cause trouble when he saw me attacking Dong Gongcheng.
Dongyin... But if this is the case, doesn't it mean that Liu Jingsheng also regards Jingzhou as his own territory and does not want me to touch him? Therefore, two Han clan clan members, two moral models recognized by the world in the past, two for one
Among the chief officials of a state, there is always one who has different intentions, or even both of them have different intentions, right?"
Huang Wan couldn't answer.
Gongsun Xun laughed more and more, then picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He stood up again, held up his knife, looked around, and raised his voice: "It sounds a bit ugly to say it, but you guys, let me tell you, this is natural! The so-called people are poor.
But shortness of breath, poverty and subjugation, this is probably what it means. They are also forced by current events... Sir, have you ever seen the common people change their sons and eat in the years of disaster?"
There was cheering from the Cuju court on the other side of the Wei River, but there was almost silence in the curtained banquet where Gongsun Xun was sitting.
"If you haven't seen Yi Zi eat it, then you should have seen the common people killing and abandoning babies, right?" Gongsun Xun continued to sneer. "You are all people who have read poetry and books, and you should understand that killing babies is probably
It is the most unscrupulous behavior in the world, let alone parents killing their children? But everywhere in the world, if there is one place, infanticide is not allowed. And where is infanticide regarded as a real thing?
How to deal with crimes? Why is it so... Mr. Yang, why is it so?"
"Because the people are poor and mean, and they can't feed them without killing babies." Yang Biao stood up helplessly and answered with his hands in his hands. "For parents, it is better to kill them earlier than to be unable to raise them in the future..."
"That's the problem." Gongsun Xun leaned over to pick up the empty cup, and Jia Kui beside him immediately helped fill it up. Then the general Wei drank it down again in full view of everyone, and then continued. "The people are poor.
, one more person will not be able to eat, so they have to be killed. Over time, infanticide becomes a matter of course... It is not just common people who are accustomed to it, but also famous officials like you, although you know in your heart that this is a bad thing.
, but I can only sit back and ignore it...is this what you mean?"
"Exactly."
"Then Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Tao Qian, Er Yuan, and even Dong Zhuo, aren't they all the same thing?" Gongsun Xun held the empty bottle thoughtfully. "It's just that for them, the world is poor.
It’s just about the overall situation! We just talked about why the loyal ministers and generals of Mengjin in the past were like this. Isn’t this the reason? Emperor Ling brought the world to ruins, and everything from the center to the localities was irreparable, so the overall situation of the world began to become poor, and they
These people are in this kind of chaos and predicament. Everything they see and hear is killing, looting, robbery, robbery, rebellion, and usurpation.
If you have power and no one can control it, how can you not fall? It's just that you don't fall as fast as Dong Zhuo! I used to see people commenting on people, saying that a certain person is a "capable minister in governing the world, and a traitor in troubled times"... Now that I think about it,
Isn't this a sharp move in words? Is there any person with a good background in the world who is not a 'capable minister in times of trouble and a traitor in troubled times'?!"
At this point, there was silence. Gongsun Xun threw the empty cup in his hand on the ground, then raised his knife and looked at it: "Masters, today we can sit here with wine and watch the spectacular scenery of the Wei River in autumn, see the common people and soldiers.
Do you know how difficult it is to play across the river? Believe it or not, in a few years, there will be more and more people like Dong Zhuo? Believe it or not, in a few years, if the separatist regime continues, Liu Biao will also follow Liu Yan
There is also the theory that "Zi Xia Xihe doubts the saint"? Believe it or not, in a few years, if no one can control Yuan Shao, I am afraid he will not show himself as a cavalry general, but will carve the emperor's seal for himself? Believe it or not
, In a few years, I will be like Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo and kill the ministers wantonly, but no one will take it seriously? Da Sima, you really have to thank me!"
Everyone understood it before, but the last sentence was confusing... But as Liu Yu, who was sitting at the top, sighed, stood up and bowed to each other, everyone became more or less awakened.
"What is General Wei's intention today? You might as well explain it clearly." In the silence, Huangfu Song tried his best to ask. "Can't you just want Da Sima to pay you a courtesy?"
"I just want to say two things," Gongsun Xun answered frankly. "First, the world has become divided. Don't have a dream of bringing peace to the world with just a piece of paper. It won't work. Second, in troubled times, it is better to keep it short." It shouldn’t be long, and don’t have any sweet dreams that are slowly coming to fruition. You should seize the day for everything... Otherwise, under the predicament of the world, people’s hearts will decline very quickly. After I defeated Dong Zhuo today, I can still use my righteousness to appease the place and accept his surrender. Soldiers can still think of helping the helpless people of Henan, but do you believe that if the chaos lasts for several years, there will be massacres in the world after the war? Believe it or not, if the chaos lasts for ten years, the world will have peace. After the war, the tragic incident of killing tens of thousands of prisoners? Believe it or not, within twenty years, there was the tragic incident of the Manchus filling the river with the sons of Gongqing? Don’t you all read history?”
Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Yang Biao, Huang Wan and others all looked at each other, but in the end it was Yang Biao who took the lead and bowed: "General Wei is really kind-hearted in wanting to bring peace to the world as soon as possible... We are willing to do our best to help. General Wei gave great support to the Han Dynasty and the country."
"Well said." Gongsun Xun suddenly laughed, but in public he picked up the thrown golden bottle at the feet of Liu Zhang, who was already fighting, and then motioned to Jia Kui to pour the wine. When the wine was full, he raised the glass to Yang Biao stood in front of him and chuckled softly. "But I am always straightforward and don't bother to be secretive... Yang Gong, of course I want to hurry up, but you are here and I can't even control people's hearts. What should I do? You are here In front of me, so what if it’s hard for me to hurry up? So what if you are here with me, and the hearts of the three assistants can’t gather their strength to help me?”
Yang Biao, who had been bending down to salute, raised his head. He was three parts stunned, three parts confused, three parts stunned, and one part scared, but in the end he did not say anything.
"Give Doctor Guanglu the scepter!" Gongsun Xun, holding the wine glass, didn't understand and shouted directly. "Declaration..."
In panic, Yang Biao hurriedly bowed down and accepted the order.
"Hold on!" At this moment, Wang Yun stood up in surprise and asked, "General Wei, why don't I know about the decree and the scepter?"
"The King of Situ allowed Dong Zhuo to be attached to his party, and A Ni flattered him, which greatly disappointed the world." Gongsun Xun didn't even look back and answered fluently. "Early this morning, I personally entered the palace and requested an order to remove him from the position of Situ and record the affairs of the minister. Among them, only Nian and his people had many affairs to maintain the imperial code during their reign, and were still the Taizhong officials; there was also the Grand Sima Liu Yu, who was dismissed because of the meteor at the beginning of the month and was appointed as the Taiwei, in charge of the affairs of the Shangshu; the Taiwei Zhao Qian , moved to Situ."
Wang Yun looked at Liu Yu, who had bowed to Gongsun Xun before and was sitting there. He saw that the latter had no expression on his face and could not refute a word... because even according to political tradition, he should The responsibility of recording Shangshu affairs should be given to the only important member of the clan who is still in the central government, because everyone knows that Liu Yu originally had the responsibility of assisting the young emperor with the clan.
Therefore, not only Wang Yun could not object to this change of appointment, but no one in the entire central committee could object to it!
At this thought, Wang Yun, who had become Taizhong's doctor, could only sit back in his original position.
Just like that, Zhong Yao, the minister of Huangmen, suddenly appeared, took out a paper imperial edict, and announced an appointment in a grand manner. Yang Biao, the Guanglu doctor, was the envoy, and he went to Yuzhou with the intention of clearly informing everyone in Yuzhou.
In the counties and counties, the imperial court appointed Liu Bei and Liu Xuande as the governor of Yuzhou, while Yuan Shao represented Cao Cao and Yuan Shu represented Sun Jian, both of them were unlucky!
Anyway, Yang Biao's wife was Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu's biological sister, so there was no fear that the two men would kill him in anger.
"Mr. Yang." Yang Biao accepted the order in a daze and accepted the scepter. Before he could stand firm on the scepter, Gongsun Xun over there was holding the cup. "You, the Fourth and Third Duke, have a great reputation. Today, you will go to Yuzhou with the scepter.
Promote the authority of the imperial court, I hope you will live up to your mission!"
"This is...natural." Yang Biao responded awkwardly.
"It's a long way to go here, and there's still war there." Gongsun Xun became more and more emotional. "Please drink this cup to the full to put it into practice..."
After accepting all the orders, Yang Biao was helpless and a little dazed. He didn't even hear the hint in the other party's words. He took the drink personally handed by Gongsun Xun while the other ministers were dumbfounded, and drank it in one gulp.
All.
After drinking, Yang Wen first handed back the wine glass, then sat back down holding on to the staff in a daze.
Gongsun Xun took the empty bottle and turned around to let Jia Kui continue to fill it, but suddenly turned around and changed his expression: "Now that you have put it into practice, why is Mr. Yang still here?"
Yang Biao was sweating profusely, and he wanted to speak instinctively, but he really didn't know what to say... Gongsun Xun spoke so thoroughly, it was already a courtesy first, then an attack. In this case, why should he ask for trouble?
In other words, after all, he was the one who survived Dong Zhuo's filtration. How could he have a real fundamental conflict of interest with Gongsun Xun in order to preserve some central power when all legal procedures were in place?
So, in desperation, he sighed and said that he had fulfilled his mission, and then he hugged the staff and left on the spot... Then, naturally, there were soldiers escorting him. He couldn't even return home, and went straight to Chang'an without entering.
Heading to Wuguan. When he arrived at Wuguan, Yang Wenxian was surprised to find that the deputy historian waiting here was actually his cousin. He was regarded as an audience member of the emperor's close ministers, so there was no need to say more.
By the way, for someone like Gongsun Xun who doesn’t bother to cover up, if he wants to clean, how can he only sweep the surface?
"Huang Gong, please lend me the decree and the scepter." Gongsun Xun held a full cup and then motioned to Zhong Yao to continue announcing the decree.
The order came down, and Huang Wan was sent to Jingzhou as an envoy in Jiejie, and transferred from Jingzhou to Yizhou to investigate the case of Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, and sued Liu Yan, the shepherd of Yizhou, for his evil intentions... and to mediate.
This appointment is also reasonable and reasonable. Huang Wan himself is from a wealthy family in Jingzhou and is Liu Yan's cousin. Just as Er Yuan would not chop up his brother-in-law, Huang Wan will not be in any danger in these two places.
After the edict was issued, the scepter was accepted, and Gongsun Xun personally served him a glass of wine, he let Doctor Guanglu, who also had great influence in the central government, leave directly.
It is worth mentioning that Gongsun Xun still maintained sufficient rationality and restraint when it came to the issue of Yizhou. As the deputy envoy, he was actually the second son of Liu Yan and the censor Liu Dan.
The next one was Huangfu Song, who did not receive the scepter, but was directly appointed to a new position - the governor of Liangzhou.
To be fair, this is a position that leaves people speechless and even reasonable. The governor of Liangzhou can only be in charge of one county. He also has the responsibility of mediating, monitoring, and appeasing the Liangzhou warlords. Huangfu Song is the right person to take up this position. Make the most of it.
Of course, now that he has moved to Liangzhou, he will no longer be able to use his prestige as the third assistant to influence any old troops or establish any mountains. Gongsun Xun's control over the Guanxi soldiers will naturally be further deepened.
The same process, in front of everyone, an imperial edict, a glass of water and wine, and then he went directly to his post without even being able to return home.
The next one is City Gate Colonel Zhu Jun and Zhu Gongwei, who has a certain amount of defense power in Chang'an City.
His appointment was to go to Jiaozhou as an envoy to mediate the conflict between Shi Xie and Zhu Fu... Zhu Fu was the governor of Jiaozhou, but he exacted excessive taxes, which was very unpopular. Shi Xie was the only big family in Jiaozhou and was very popular. The two families were in Jiaozhou. It's a lot of fun, but it's not as peaceful as any other place in the Han Dynasty.
And this appointment is also very reasonable. Zhu Jun is from Yanzhou and has successfully defeated the Jiaozhou rebellion. Especially this Zhu Fu, who has collected violent taxes and levies, is his biological son Zhu Gongwei. This can be regarded as a kind of impartiality and not avoiding relatives. It might be a good thing to tell it in the future.
Zhu Gongwei knelt down to receive the order, accepted the scepter, and then took the drink from Gongsun Xun. He shook his head for a while and said, "I have no way to teach my son. I have nothing to say about this appointment, and I will do my best. But General Wei, we They are all gone... I hope you can take care of yourself!"
After saying this, the man took the initiative to drink it all, then handed the empty bottle back to Gongsun Xun's hand, turned around and left.
After Zhu Jun, it was Lu Bu.
In other words, although Gongsun Xun had known for a long time that Lu Bu had unparalleled martial arts and the ability to fly as a general, his vision, moral level, and control of personal desires were, at most, just like an ordinary person, so he didn't have any rational expectations... But rationality belongs to reason, and sensibility belongs to sensibility. Jia Wenhe actually needs to push him away, Lu Fengxian, before he can show off. Although Gongsun Xun didn't say anything, how could he not feel resentful in his heart?
Therefore, taking this opportunity, Gongsun Xun officially deposed his title as General Huwei and changed his title to Dahonglu... This meant that he could save his face while depriving him of military power.
Under the sudden attack, and without any political support, Lu Bu, who was just an ordinary man, accepted the order in panic, so there was no need to say anything.
And then, seeing that the only four political threats and one military threat were all eliminated safely with imperial edicts, Gongsun Xun began to sit back and promote, appoint, dismiss, and transfer... The so-called elimination of dissidents and all-out efforts Plunder core talents:
Zhong Yao, the assistant minister of Huangmen, was appointed as the Sili school captain;
