Chapter five hundred and fiftieth chapter is bound to win
Fu Sheng is said to be a descendant of Fu Xi. The old man lived for ninety-nine years and lived through the three dynasties of Zhou, Qin and Han.
When the First Emperor burned books and harassed Confucians, Fu Sheng secretly hid the Book of Documents in the wall of his house at the risk of being beheaded.
When the Qin Dynasty fell and the Han Dynasty rose, Fu Shengcai dug out his private collection of "Shang Shu". However, some of the "Shang Shu" had been destroyed, and only twenty-nine chapters were preserved. This is also the only set of "Shang Shu" left in the world.
When Emperor Wen succeeded to the throne, he heard about Fu Sheng and asked him for the "Book of Secretaries". However, Fu Sheng was already old at that time and could no longer leave. Emperor Wen was considerate and sent Chao Cuo to Fu Sheng's home.
Follow Fu Sheng to learn Shangshu.
Because Fu Sheng was too old to speak clearly, only his daughter Xi'e could understand his words. Xi'e acted as a translator and passed down the Book of Documents to Chao Cuo through Fu Sheng's dictation.
.
It can be said that all the masters of Shangshu are the direct disciples of Fu Sheng, and everyone who studies Shangshu are the disciples and grandsons of Fu Sheng.
When Liu Xiu went to Imperial College, he majored in Shangshu. How could he not know about his ancestor Fu Sheng?
I heard that Fu Sheng had a descendant named Fu Zhan, so no need to ask, he must be a member of the Shangshu. Liu Xiu couldn't help but straighten his waist and asked: "Where is Mr. Fu Zhan now?"
Wang Liang said: "In Qingzhou Pingyuan County..."
This Fu Zhan can be called a strange man. When Wang Mang usurped the throne, he had already embroidered clothes and enforced the law.
The embroidered clothes law enforcement officer, also known as the embroidered clothes envoy, got his name because of the embroidered clothes he wears.
Xiuyi's law enforcement work is mainly to suppress local insurgents. Chijie and Hufu have certain rights to mobilize troops. Wherever insurgents appear, they go there to suppress them.
During Wang Mang's reign, Fu Zhan was promoted five times in a row until he reached the rank of captain. Later, Wang Mang died and Liu Xuan took over Chang'an. Fu Zhan was appointed as the prefect of Pingyuan County by Liu Xuan. wavv
Pingyuan County is located in Shandong, which is quite far away from Chang'an. When Fu Zhan was the governor of Pingyuan County, his life could be described as carefree, relaxed and comfortable.
After handling government affairs, when he had free time, he went to teach and teach. As for his salary as a prefect, he used it to buy grain and invite the starving people to eat at home.
At the largest number of people, there were hundreds of families eating together at his home.
The Red Eyebrow Army captured Chang'an, and the world became more chaotic. At this time, a servant with strong martial arts skills in Fu Zhan's family took action. Under the banner of Fu Zhan, he called on the people everywhere, asking everyone to come to Fu Zhan and follow Fu Zhan.
Raise troops.
When Fu Zhan learned about this, he flew into a rage. He captured the servant and beheaded him. His head was hung in the city for public display. Fu Zhan's conduct was deeply admired by the people in the plains and won their support.
Precisely because Fu Zhan was the governor of Pingyuan, troops and wars were going on all over the country at that time. Only Pingyuan County was very peaceful and there was no war from beginning to end.
It can be said that Fu Zhan protected the people of the whole county from the disaster of war with his own efforts.
After listening to Wang Liang's narration of Fu Zhan's deeds, Liu Xiu admired Fu Zhan even more. He asked: "Is Fu Zhan willing to serve as an official in Luoyang?"
Wang Liang pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this... I'm afraid it won't be easy?"
"Oh? Why?"
Wang Liang said: "Not long ago, King Liu Yong of Liang consecrated his younger brother Liu Shaogong as the imperial censor, and also named him King of Lu!"
Hearing this, Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and clenched his fist subconsciously.
King Liu Yong of Liang came from the lineage of King Xiao of Liang Liu Wu, and Liu Xiu came from the lineage of Emperor Jing. Emperor Jing and Liu Wu were brothers from the same mother.
After Wang Mang usurped the throne, Liu Yong could no longer inherit the throne of Liang Wang. Until Liu Xuan ascended the throne, Liu Yong came to visit Liu Xuan. Liu Xuan, in accordance with the old system of the Western Han Dynasty, allowed Liu Yong to inherit the throne and canonized him as Liang Wang.
After Liu Xuan took control of Chang'an, the political system was in chaos, causing the three assistants to complain. At this time, Liu Yong was already ready to take action, using his Liang Kingdom as the foundation to recruit troops and recruit many people.
After the Red Eyebrow Army captured Chang'an, Liu Yong lost his fear and sent troops everywhere, successively capturing more than 20 cities including Jiyin County, Shanyang County, Pei County, Chu County, Huaiyang County, and Runan County.
In order to win over the local separatist forces, Liu Yong also made Dong Xian, who occupied Donghai County, the general of Yihan, Zhang Bu, who occupied Qijun, the general of assisting Han, and Jiaojiang, who occupied the western defense, as the general of Hengxing.
These local separatist warlords accepted his title and naturally became his people. Through his own expansion and the wooing of other separatist forces, Liu Yong now controls the Guandong region, including Shandong.
Since Liu Xiu was in Hebei and Liu Yong was in Guandong, the two sides had only small-scale contacts and no large-scale disputes occurred between them.
But now Liu Yong canonizes Liu Shaogong as King of Lu. This matter is not simple. A king cannot be crowned king, only the emperor can be crowned king. Liu Yong canonizes Liu Shaogong as King of Lu. His intention to proclaim himself emperor in Guandong has become clear.
.
Once Liu Yong proclaims himself emperor in Guandong, the Liu Xiu Group will have no choice but to fight to the death with the Liu Yong Group.
Even though Liu Xiu has proclaimed himself emperor and established his capital in Luoyang, the situation he faces is still very pessimistic. The heroes are divided among themselves. Who can have the last laugh? It's really not necessarily the case!
The current situation across the country is that Liu Xiu, under the banner of Liu Han, occupied Hebei and his capital was Luoyang, Henan; the Red Eyebrow Army, under the banner of Liu Han, occupied Kansai and his capital was Chang'an; Liu Yong also used the banner of Liu Han, and his capital was Chang'an.
He occupied Guandong and wanted to proclaim himself emperor there. There was also Gongsun Shu who occupied Shu and had already proclaimed himself emperor.
At this time, the whole country was filled with emperors.
In addition, there are also local separatist forces, such as Weixiao, which occupies the Xiliang area, and so on.
In addition to these external enemies, Liu Xiu's forces are not very stable internally. The most violent ones are the rebel armies from all over Hebei, such as the remnants of Bronze Horse, the remnant of Youlai, the remnant of Qingdu, the remnant of Five Schools, and the remnant of Tanxiang.
Wait, they are back again and causing chaos all over Hebei.
Back to the story. Liu Yong has revealed his intention to become emperor in Guandong. Can Liu Yong not value talents like Fu Zhan? Can he not actively strive for them?
If we send an envoy to Pingyuan and ask Fu Zhan to come to Luoyang, it is estimated that the envoy may not be able to reach Pingyuan County, and he will be intercepted and killed by Liu Yong's people halfway.
Even if he arrived in Pingyuan County safely and successfully persuaded Fu Zhan to take up a post in Luoyang, could Liu Yong let Fu Zhan go?
Pingyuan County is in Shandong, and Shandong is within the control of Liu Yong. Therefore, in Wang Liang's view, it is quite difficult for him to invite Fu Zhan to Luoyang.
After hearing Wang Liang's concerns, Liu Xiu also fell into deep thought. After careful consideration, Wang Liang's concerns were not unreasonable. After a while, he nodded and said, "I need to think about this again."
Next, Liu Xiu discussed the recent government and military affairs with the ministers. After the court meeting was over, it was almost noon. Liu Xiu left the Quefei Hall and went to the Qingliang Hall. He held a letter in his hand and walked back and forth in the hall.
step.
As a descendant of Fu Sheng, Fu Zhan's knowledge is undoubted, and his deeds and conduct are also noble. If such a talent cannot be summoned, but is taken away by Liu Yong, it will undoubtedly be a huge loss for himself.
But how to recruit Fu Zhan was indeed a problem. When Liu Xiu was upset in the palace, Zhang Kun walked in and said softly: "Your Majesty."
"Yeah!" Liu Xiu responded absently.
"Miss Feiyan, please see me."
"Invite her in." Liu Xiu finally stopped and sat down behind the case.
Not long after, Hua Feiyan walked in from outside, saluted Liu Xiufu, and said, "Feiyan has met Your Majesty."
"You don't have to be polite if you don't smoke."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hua Feiyan walked behind the table next to Liu Xiu, held up the hem of her skirt, and knelt down to sit down. A chamberlain came forward and handed her a cup of tea.
After the chamberlain retreated, Hua Feiyan said: "Your Majesty, Xiuwu in Hanoi and Tanxiang bandits appeared in the Huojia area. Both Xiuwu and Huojia suffered losses in their autumn grain."
After a pause, she continued: "The news about Xiu Wu and Huo Jia should reach Luoyang soon."
The news from Yunxi Pavilion is still one step ahead of the official news.
Liu Xiu patted the table and said: "The harm caused by the bandit army is like a plague of locusts, or even worse than a plague of locusts!"
At this time, Liu Xiuzhen had the urge to go to Hanoi in person to quell the banditry. Thinking of going to Hanoi in person, his heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly asked: "Is Feiyan familiar with Pingyuan County?"
Hua Feiyan was startled and didn't understand why Liu Xiu asked this. She said: "Yunxi Pavilion has no stronghold in Pingyuan County, and our people rarely go to Pingyuan County." After a pause, she asked in confusion:
"Why does Your Majesty ask this?"
Liu Xiu thought for a while and said: "I plan to take the opportunity of going to Hanoi to quell the banditry to go to Pingyuan County in person."
Hua Feiyan was shocked. Pingyuan County was in Qingzhou and was not under our control, but within Liu Yong's sphere of influence. Our relationship with Liu Yong was not good, and there had been small-scale conflicts.
She asked: "Why is Your Majesty going to Pingyuan County?"
Liu Xiu said: "Fu Zhan, the governor of Pingyuan, is a capable minister in governing the world. I should take him for my own use."
Hua Feiyan said: "Why don't your Majesty send an envoy?"
Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's difficult for an ordinary envoy to do the job." Let's not say whether Liu Yong will intercept him. I'm afraid that if the envoy sees Fu Zhan, he may not be able to persuade him to go to Luoyang.
The only way to be sure is to go there in person and invite Fu Zhan.
Hua Feiyan frowned and said, "It's just that your majesty's trip is too dangerous. I think your majesty should think twice."
Liu Xiu said: "Fu Zhan himself is already a virtuous man, and he is also the descendant of Fu Sheng (Fu Sheng's honorific title), with hundreds of disciples. If Fu Zhan can be used for his own purposes, and the virtuous men attracted in the future,
There will be countless."
At the very least, Fu Zhan's disciples will come to join him one after another, and talented sages who are proficient in "Shang Shu" will come here one after another.
The world is in chaos, the heroes are chasing each other, and the four sides are separatist. The competition is not for the gains and losses of a city or a place, but for the hearts and minds of the people and for talents. Who can win the hearts and minds of the people, who can win a large number of talents, and who can be invincible
.
Liu Xiu had already made up his mind about Fu Zhan and was bound to win!
Seeing that Liu Xiu had made up his mind, Hua Feiyan pondered for a moment and said firmly: "I will go with your Majesty."
Liu Xiu said: "Feiyan said just now that this trip is dangerous."
Hua Feiyan said seriously: "Because Feiyan knows that this trip is dangerous, Feiyan must go with His Majesty."
Liu Xiu looked at her for a moment, nodded with a smile, and said, "Then, no worries."
Hua Feiyan leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, you're welcome. This is your duty!"
