Those barbarians have little literature and few etiquette, and they are afraid of power and not virtuous.
This was the reason why Zheng Pu came back from recruiting troops in Zangqi County in the past. Prime Minister Zhuge Liang persuaded him to cherish feathers. This was also proved by the subsequent rebellion in Nanzhong. But now Zheng Pu kills prisoners and builds a palace in Beijing to deter him.
Sir, although the Prime Minister speaks out in defense, he does not approve of it in his heart.
Prime Minister Gein has never been a cruel person.
For example, relegating those captives to iron mines and salt wells as slaves would be a strategy that benefits the country.
The reason why he decided to have extra meals was that after experiencing the Battle of Hexi, he could finally make a decision about "I am old and I will have a good future".
Yes, successor.
No one knows that the issue that now makes the Prime Minister think about it day and night is the final decision on the successor.
Because the Han Dynasty has now come out of the abyss, and the younger generals have also experienced and grown up, they only need to resist Wei's counterattack and rest and recuperate for a few years before they can launch the Battle of Guanzhong to "return the old capital". The Prime Minister thought to himself,
As long as the Han Dynasty can recover its national strength and recruit troops to practice martial arts, no one in Wei will be able to block the direction of its own troops.
And since he delegated some affairs to his subordinates, the Prime Minister also feels that his physical condition can last a few more years.
Not surprisingly, he should be able to see the day when he takes over Chang'an, right?
Therefore, what lingers in the heart of the Prime Minister is Zhao Yun's words before his death in the past: "The wishes of the late emperor have not been fulfilled, so all the Prime Ministers have to work hard."
Returning to the old capital was only the beginning of the revival of the Han Dynasty.
It is the end point to spread the banners of the Han Dynasty throughout the thirteen states of the world, to open up the Western Regions, and to once again proclaim the heroic words that "the Han has great authority and leads all nations, and the sun and the moon shine upon them all as ministers and concubines."
Therefore, there should be a continuation.
Now that Zheng Pu once again showed his arrogant temperament, it was time for the Prime Minister to make a conclusion about him.
It is not intended to designate him as someone with authority who can continue to "solve matters down to the smallest detail."
If it were to return to the old capital, the Han Dynasty would not need another prime minister. A minister who upholds the authority of the emperor should do extraordinary things in extraordinary times. He should not follow the rules and should not be an example for future generations.
Emperor Liu Chan would eventually take over the government personally.
Moreover, the qualifications of the emperor are not bad, and now there is a hint of the style of the late emperor. If another prime minister succeeds him in the future, it will only lead to a conflict between the power of the monarch and the power of the prime minister. There have been countless bad examples in the previous Han Dynasty, why bother repeating the same mistakes?
The prime minister planned to use Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, Dong Yun and other people of pure nature to guard the center, govern with leniency, and herd the people with virtue, while Zheng Pu was the blade to break the situation.
It is not only the use of ingenious strategies to break the situation during the military war, but also the unruly elimination of the disadvantages of the situation during the administration.
In the past, when Zheng Pu presented the "Three Strategies to Strengthen the Foundation", the Prime Minister knew in his heart that he could always think about what others could not do, and never stick to etiquette or secular ideas when looking at things and dealing with problems.
The most important thing is that Zheng Pu does not care about his reputation or his body, and he has no personal favors from the local party or friends.
For example, the policy of "extending favor" and Xiao Guandao's rejection of Ma Di are good proofs of this point.
As for other people saying that Zheng Pu followed the law and punished him with retribution and acted too cruelly?
The laws of heaven are constant, and day and night are reincarnated. There are many virtuous men in the Han Dynasty, such as Jiang Wan and Fei Yi, who just complement this. For example, if something is beneficial to the court but goes against etiquette, Zheng Pu, who has the power, will carry out it vigorously.
In the future, Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and others will come forward to calm the emotions of all parties, so that the court will benefit without damaging its reputation.
In the past, when the late emperor revered the title of Emperor, he established an ancestral temple to offer sacrifices to the emperor and below, not to offer sacrifices to Guangwu.
The government of the former Han Dynasty was based on the overlord's way. There was no one who pursued the overlord's way in the imperial court!
Naturally, if the military and political power of the past dynasties were controlled, it would often lead to unfavorable things such as disobedience, but there is no need to worry about Zheng Pu following in the same footsteps.
Because it is impossible to follow in the footsteps.
Huo Yi went to serve in Nanzhong a long time ago, Guan Xing is now in Hanzhong, and Jiang Wei remains in Hexi. In the future, these three people will serve as war commanders for the country or as vassals of the country on the border of the town. And Zhang Bao and Zhao Guang
Now he is summoned to the central army, and once the war is over, he will return to defend the capital, just like the story of the Northern and Southern armies.
They are the current backbone of the Han Dynasty and the mainstay of the future. They have military power. Why worry about Dong Zhuo's incident happening again?
Furthermore, Zheng Pu is not like Dong Zhuo as a person.
Emperor Liu Chan was not a young and powerless King Hongnong or Emperor Xian.
Therefore, the prime minister went to Chengdu to invite Empress Zheng Pu's military advisor.
His powers include consulting on state affairs, supervising military expeditions, and being granted leave in case of emergencies. He is now the only military advisor in the Han Dynasty. Because Wei Yan and Xiang Lang both held the post of military advisor, they resigned when they became governor of the prefecture.
Already.
However, it was not granted now, but after the envoy returned from the Wu Kingdom.
Yes, the prime minister sent Zheng Pu to envoy Wu.
Liangzhou was restored, and the war horse trade with Sun Wu was mentioned again.
Zheng Pu and the Wu envoy Zhuge Ke had discussed it before, and Quan should not bother the two masters.
Moreover, after the Wei State learned that Liangzhou had changed hands, it would inevitably send frequent attacks in an attempt to disturb the opportunity for the Han Dynasty to stabilize the people. Since Sun Wu wanted war horses, he would fulfill his agreement to jointly attack the Wei State and relieve some pressure on the Han Dynasty.
Bar.
As for letting Zheng Pu leave as the war approached, it was not a mistake.
The Han Dynasty who had just returned to Liangzhou needed at least several years to finalize the outline and order, appease the Li people, and arrange the relocation of the Bashu noble family to pursue the Silk Road, as well as the recruitment of cavalry and martial arts, the breeding of war horses and many other matters.
It is not a one-time achievement.
For at least three to five years, the Han Dynasty will be on the defensive to defend against the enemy.
Because the next time the troops are sent out, it will be a battle for the fate of the country that will use all the strength of the country to return to the old capital.
Zheng Pu's specialty is planning, good at cunning strategies, and good at trickery. In terms of upright battles or holding on to the city, he is not considered the best among the many generals of the Han Dynasty, so he will not participate in the defensive battles.
It doesn't matter either.
In recent years, Zheng Pu has striven to be the first in military competitions and has accumulated countless achievements, so he should give other generals the opportunity to gain more experience.
Furthermore, since he has been designated as the future mainstay of the Han Dynasty, how can an important minister who can decide state affairs not ask him to see the style of Sun Wu, this "ally", so that he can have an idea in the future?
Thoughts like this are what make the Prime Minister happy and joyful.
Of course, others didn't know, and neither did Zheng Pu.
It has been half a month since he returned from Hexi to Luomenju's villa in Ji County. He has not left the house except for going to the Prime Minister's villa to report on his duties that day.
I can't help it, there are too many people visiting.
Many wealthy and aristocratic families in Bashu, regardless of previous friendships, prepared gifts and brought their talented and well-educated children, nephews and descendants to visit.
Their intention was obvious. They thought that Zheng Pu would use his power to protect the army and recommend their nephews to Fei Yi or serve as assistants to the prefects of various counties in Liangzhou. In name, they hoped to serve the country, but in fact it was more for the sake of serving the country.
Protect the family’s Silk Road interests.
It’s not surprising that the bustling world is all for profit; the bustling world is all for profit.
Furthermore, under the strict control of the Shu government and the strict enforcement of the law by the prime minister, they were willing to let their sons and nephews serve in official positions to benefit the family or the country. There was not much difference between the two.
