Wang Yue sent back an edict to Liu Xie to build a mausoleum in Chang'an and move the world's powerful men to Chang'an. This order immediately caused a commotion in the court.
Today, Guo Jia has intervened in the court. Li Ru and Jia Xu have also intervened. These people are already the new force in the court. On the contrary, Wang Yun, Yang Biao, Huang Wan and others, although they are also in the court, can influence
The power gradually weakens.
After all, they are not Wang Can's direct descendants, so it is natural for them to be weakened.
Situ Mansion, in the hall.
Wang Yun was sitting on the main seat, and below him were Yang Biao, Huang Wan, Lu Zhi, Shi Sunrui, Huangfu Song, Cai Yong and other veterans of the court, all gathered together.
All of them are veterans.
Wang Yun looked around at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Today, the imperial court just received the emperor's order to build a mausoleum in Chang'an and move the world's powerful people there. The emperor clearly wanted to imitate Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and weaken the world by doing this.
Gentlemen, I do not agree with this approach of the Emperor. Because once this example is made, I am afraid that the Emperor will deal with whomever he wants to deal with."
Yang Biao stroked his beard but did not express his position.
Huangfu Song said seriously: "Nowadays, in all states in the world, except for the garrison in important towns, all the soldiers and horses from all over the world have gathered around Luoyang. Not only that, there are no more state pastors in the world, only the governors who supervise the local areas and patrol the counties are left."
"The imperial court's control over local areas has further increased."
"To put it bluntly, in the past two years, the imperial court has become a little like a royal court. Now the imperial court can be considered to be able to give orders to the local government, so that the local government will not completely ignore the central government."
"But in fact, the root cause has never been solved."
"The root lies in the existence of powerful people."
Huangfu Song said in a deep voice: "When we are working for the country, we should all be aware that there are powerful and powerful people all over the world, such as the Zhen family in Hebei and the Mi family in Xuzhou. These powerful businessmen have countless assets and land. Just like other big families, they are all
Same. Moving batches of powerful people to the vicinity of the imperial mausoleum and building tombs for the emperor is the best way to weaken local powerful people."
Wang Yundao: "General Huangfu, do you understand what I mean?"
Huangfu Song said: "I understand, what's not clear about? What you mean is that you just don't agree."
"you……"
Wang Yun immediately became angry.
Huangfu Song really couldn't communicate.
When Huangfusong saw Wang Yun's demeanor, a smile appeared on his lips, and he immediately regained his composure.
Wang Yun said in a deep voice: "What I am worried about is not that the emperor will deal with powerful people. It is that today, the emperor can issue an edict and move the powerful people to the vicinity of the mausoleum. In the future, he can kill officials at will. The emperor has too much power.
This is not a good thing.”
Huangfu Song said: "Wang Situ's idea is to suppress the power of the emperor?"
"Of course not!"
Wang Yun looked solemn and said solemnly: "It's just that I don't want the emperor to be unscrupulous and have no worries. Such a situation is definitely a disaster rather than a blessing."
Huangfusong continued: "But, can you restrain it?"
Wang Yundao: "I alone can't do it. But, isn't it because of you? I called you here, just to talk about it together and see how to deal with this matter."
Lu Zhi said sternly: "In the current situation, the Han Dynasty is showing signs of resurgence. Especially the emperor, under the guidance of Wang Can, is quite wise and can go through hardships and knows that life is not easy."
"And according to the news sent back by Wang Yue, the emperor is now serving as the magistrate of a county and is quite successful. Wang Can is really an extraordinary person. Especially what Wang Can has done in these years is indeed for the sake of the Han Dynasty.
.”
"So, I am not prepared to oppose his plan."
After a pause, Lu Zhi said: "What's more, this is a pretty good idea. The powerful powers in the world have threatened the center of the imperial court. If we don't deal with them at this time, I'm afraid there will be a change of priorities."
"Now that Wang Can is strong and can dominate the world on his own, he can gather his troops and eliminate the state, pastoral and military power in various places. Otherwise, he will not be able to achieve this step."
"The same goes for dealing with powerful people."
"If Wang Can were not in charge, the order to relocate powerful men would most likely lead to chaos in the world."
"But it's different with Wang Can."
"Even if the world's powerful people want to object, they don't dare to speak randomly, let alone make trouble. They can only implement it honestly. In this way, after a few years, the world's powerful people will be weakened, and the great Han Dynasty will be able to restore peace."
Lu Zhi solemnly said: "I fully support Wang Can. I applaud such a capable and loyal person to the Han Dynasty who is willing to worry about the Han Dynasty and make suggestions."
"you……"
Wang Yun immediately became angry.
He originally invited Lu Zhi to come because Lu Zhi himself was very prestigious.
Lu Zhi continued: "Wang Situ, if you want to unite us to fight against Wang Can, I advise you to forget it. In front of Dong Zhuo, you dare not speak, you can only use roundabout tactics. Dong Zhuo is in Wang Can
In front of him, he was solved with a single blow. Do you think you can compete with Wang Can? The most important thing is that Wang Can sincerely worked for the Han Dynasty and won the trust of the emperor. At this time, you have to compete with Wang Can's great power.
The policy is almost impossible."
Wang Yun was so angry that his tooth hurt.
Unexpectedly, he was attacked by Lu Zhi.
At this time, Yang Biao also spoke: "Wang Situ, in principle, I agree with Lu Zhi's suggestion. Under the current circumstances, Wang Can has never bullied the court officials, nor has he joined forces with others to defeat dissidents. Such a situation is excellent."
The others spoke one after another.
Without exception, everyone is on Wang Can's side.
As a result, Wang Yun originally thought of using everyone's strength to compete with Wang Can, or at least restrain Wang Can, but in the end, he was refuted by everyone.
Wang Yun sighed, changed the subject, picked up the wine bottle and said, "Come on, everyone, please."
Everyone raised their glasses in return.
Everyone has a tacit agreement not to mention Wang Can's affairs.
Because when it comes to Wang Can, there is no solution.
No one dares to provoke Wang Can.
After the matter of building a mausoleum for the emperor was decided, the imperial edict was immediately arranged. Regarding the relocation of local powerful families, it was also carried out in an orderly manner. Almost all the biggest powerful people in each state were not spared, and all had to be relocated.
Walk.
Although many people don't want to.
However, he did not dare to refute, because under the current circumstances, going against Wang Can would be courting death.
Everyone knows how powerful Wang Can is.
Wang Can is like an immortal, able to soar into the clouds, ride on the mist, and fly in the air. It is already known to everyone in the world.
With the construction of Liu Xie's mausoleum, the world's powerful people were relocated, and with the continuous circulation of rice paper, the cost of reading for people in the world continued to decrease, resulting in more and more people being able to read and write.
In fact, the existence of rice paper also weakened the dominance of powerful families over the officialdom.
Without rice paper, it would be difficult for many people to read.
Because of the rice paper, the cost of reading for scholars has been reduced, and many classic books are constantly being printed. Only in this way can the local monopoly of aristocratic families be broken.
The situation of the entire Han Dynasty is changing step by step.
Everything is developing for the better.
In fact, people's ambitions evolve with different thoughts as the situation develops. Now that Wang Can is governing the Han Dynasty, the entire Han Dynasty is gradually recovering from its serious illness. The ambitions of many people in the world are also
Then disappear.
Because the big man gradually recovered.
If the big man is truly beyond redemption, many people will have other ideas.
But now, it is impossible.
When everything continues to develop for the better, Wang Can has made another move, making Liu Xie the governor of Longxi County and letting him govern Longxi County. Although it is complicated and tiring to govern just one county, in fact, it is not
It’s not particularly tiring. But there is a big difference between governing a county and governing a county.
To govern a county, you mainly have to travel to various villages to familiarize yourself with the situation, and almost always deal with the people. But when it comes to a county, Liu Xie almost never interferes in local governance, and mainly leaves it to the counties themselves.
deal with.
Only when the counties had problems were they submitted to Liu Xie for handling.
This is the same way, different from before.
Liu Xie also quickly became familiar with government affairs, and then he used the most familiar method, leaving Didao County, Longxi County, and then visited various places to understand the local situation.
Although Liu Xie could rely on Jinyiwei to inquire about information, in fact, Liu Xie was unwilling. He traveled throughout the counties of Longxi County to understand the situation in each place, and then made adjustments according to local conditions.
Under Liu Xie's governance, the entire Longxi has undergone earth-shaking changes in a short period of time.
Everything is thriving.
In particular, under the influence of Wang Can, Liu Xie no longer limited himself to saying that he wanted to develop agriculture and suppress businessmen, otherwise the businessmen would be treacherous and would definitely harm the people. However, Liu Xie was influenced by Wang Can and knew that businessmen were extremely important.
It is clear that if there are no merchants in any place, then the place will be like a pool of stagnant water.
There can be no room for development.
Therefore, Liu Xie governed the local area, promoted officials, and gave businessmen high regard and preferential treatment, making Longxi County prosperous quickly.
Liu Xie stayed in Longxi County for two full years.
In two years, Liu Xie has grown a lot.
Today, Liu Xie's eyebrows are still sharp, but they reveal more wisdom.
On this day, after Liu Xie finished handling government affairs, he came to the study room in the backyard where Wang Can was. Wang Can still closed his eyes and rested. When he saw Liu Xie, he asked: "What's the matter?"
Liu Xie said sternly: "Teacher, everything in Longxi County is now on track, and I am not needed much anymore. My plan is to ask the teacher to arrange for Wang Yue to send a letter to Chang'an and let them choose a new person to serve as the governor of Longxi.
The disciple is now familiar with the situation in Longxi, so there is no need to serve as the prefect anymore."
"sure?"
Wang Can said: "After passing this village, there is no such shop. Under the current circumstances, if you are not willing to serve as the prefect anymore, then we will prepare to leave."
"Disciple is sure!"
Liu Xie replied solemnly.
He has consciously become able to take charge of his own business and is unwilling to stay any longer. (To be continued)
