Han Shizu

Chapter 1195 Going to another minister, the successor

In the vertical arch hall, a heavy sigh, with a little sentimentality, lingered between the beams and columns.Brothers Liu Yang, Liu Xu, and Shi Xizai were waiting in front of the imperial court. Emperor Liu raised his eyes, his expression quickly recovered, and he stretched out his hand to indicate: "On behalf of me and the imperial court, you send off Duke Xing to express your condolences!"

This was said to Liu Xu, and he turned his head to look at Shi Xizai, and ordered: "Draft the edict, Duke Xing has been loyal to the king for more than [-] years, with a heart of sincerity, and there are no holidays, he is resigned from office, and the court will be abolished for three days." , to reminisce. You personally drafted a Shinto inscription..."

"Yes!" The two agreed.

Apparently, there was one more hero in Qianyou 24, and this time it was Shi Hongzhao, Duke of Xingguo.Regarding this, Emperor Liu was already able to treat it peacefully, and he got used to it after seeing it a lot, and after the death of the Queen Mother, there were not many things that could make Emperor Liu mourn anymore...

The relationship between Emperor Liu and Shi Hongzhao gradually changed from contradiction to unity, and Emperor Liu's attitude towards him also changed with time.

In his early years, Emperor Liu hated Shi Hongzhao's domineering style because he couldn't get used to it, and even wanted to kill him because he affected his throne.

Fortunately for Shi Hongzhao, he worked as a tool man for a period of time, and gradually found his own position in the tide of the Qianyou era, and finally became suitable for Emperor Liu and his ministers, and achieved fame throughout his life.

The reason for Shi Hongzhao's suspicion is that he was a warrior who held military power and even interfered in the government, but it was also because he was only a warrior that he was not in such a difficult situation as Yang, Su, and Wang, the founding fathers.

Of course, the most important thing is that Shi Hongzhao surrendered unreservedly to Emperor Liu and was loyal enough to the imperial court, even though to a certain extent he had no chance to rebel.

more than 20 years later, Shi Hongzhao's resume can also be described as a "model worker". Most of the time, he was in the township.

Moreover, except for staying in Xijing for three years and recuperating for two years, the rest of the time, they all stayed in places with difficult conditions, making a less dazzling but profound and solid contribution to the tranquility of the Western Frontier of the Great Han Dynasty.Even when he was in Luoyang, he was not comfortable. In three years, he offended a large number of old nobles and ministers.

For ten years in Lingzhou, Gansu was threatened in the west, Xiasui was ruled in the east, and it controlled the main entrance of Hexi. One pillar also laid a solid foundation for the Han Dynasty to advance westward.

In the six years of Lanzhou, on the basis of Jingxituo, the king of Baoguo, he consolidated the territory of Xinfu, day after day, year after year, and escorted the court to continue to digest the Longyou area.

It can be said that Shi Hongzhao devoted the rest of his life to the maintenance and consolidation of the northwestern frontier of the Great Han Dynasty, dedicated himself to the end of his life.This is also the main reason why he can be ranked among the 24 ministers, not just because of his qualifications.

Therefore, Shi Hongzhao's life is a glorious life, a great life, and a life worth remembering.

Therefore, on the basis of a series of mourning gifts, Emperor Liu once again issued an edict ordering the Yulin Taoist government to build a Xinggong Temple in Lingzhou for future generations to remember and pay homage to.

It is not advisable to favor one over another, so the establishment of temples for other deceased heroes is also on the agenda. Of course, not everyone has this qualification.After consideration, it was first decided to give it to Gao Xingzhou, Wang Pu, Wang Jing, and Fan Zhi.

However, the Hall of Meritorious Ministers of the Han Dynasty will also be officially built, and it will be built in Luoyang, Xijing with the portrait of the painter.

……

"The minister Li Chuyun greets His Majesty!"

When Li Chuyun entered the palace to meet him, Emperor Liu was telling Liu Yang the story between him and Shi Hongzhao.

"Be flat!"

Knowing that the coffin of Duke Xingguo had passed through Xijing, Li Chuyun naturally expressed his regret, expressing his regret.

Looking at him, Emperor Liu asked calmly, "Your arrival is just in time. Duke Xing has passed away, but Lanzhou's military affairs must not be neglected. Who do you think will take on the responsibility of Longyou!"

Hearing this, Li Chuyun was a little surprised, so he calmed down, thinking, and said: "The four roads in the northwest are still in the process of returning from chaos to governance, and the guards should have both wisdom and courage. At the same time, they need to be familiar with the Northwest. Military customs, it is best to be selected by the generals in the northwest..."

"Well, it makes sense!" Hearing what he said, Emperor Liu nodded and asked directly: "Who does Li Qing want?"

Subconsciously paying attention to Emperor Liu's expression, Li Chuyun pondered for a while, and said: "Lanzhou ordered Cao Han, who is resourceful and skilled in combat, has outstanding military exploits, and has guarded Longyou from Duke Xing for many years, so he can entrust him with important tasks!"

Li Chuyun made a choice "nearby", but Emperor Liu directly refuted: "Cao Han is greedy for money and loves to kill. He has received a lot of impeachments about him in recent years. It is necessary to pay for it with one state and one army. Beating and exhorting from time to time, let alone one. With his township in Longyou, and his style of means, I'm afraid troubles will arise!"

Li Chuyun was somewhat puzzled by this. In his opinion, with Cao Han's ability, it is more than enough to guard Longyou. As for his shortcomings, it is completely within the acceptable range.

However, since Emperor Liu was rejected, he searched for suitable candidates in his mind, and recommended: "Cui Han, commander of Xiazhou, is brave and resourceful. He has led the army for many years and has always won the hearts of the army. An Longyou!"

Hearing this, Emperor Liu said again: "Although Cui Han is rich and courageous, he has short-sighted changes in the timing and asked him to support the overall situation, lest there will be mistakes..."

"However, Cui Han has been in the Northwest for ten years, so it's time for some adjustments!"

Seeing that Emperor Liu rejected his recommendation again, Li Chuyun frowned, and he couldn't help wondering whether the emperor used this to express his dissatisfaction with him.

Naturally, Li Chuyun was thinking too much.A Cao Han, a Cui Han, both of them are equally courageous and resourceful, but their personalities and handling styles are completely opposite.Cao Han is greedy and easy to kill, while Cui Han is light on money and generous.

However, if one were to be chosen to dominate Longyou, Emperor Liu would prefer Cao Han, because the Helong region needed a ruthless character.From Shi Hongzhao to Wang Yansheng, Guo Jin, even Wang Jing, none of these people is good.

As for Cao Han's greed for money, which was criticized by others, he was very frank and never shy away from this point. He did not arouse Emperor Liu's resentment, but felt that he was genuine.As long as one does not infringe on official assets, two does not infringe on people's wealth, and three does not violate the criminal law, it will be harmless.

Instead of using Cao Han, the main reason is that he was brought out by Guo Wei and Chai Rong...

There is already a Yang Tingzhang in the northwest, and it is unreasonable to use Cao Han as the leader of the Longyou Dao military.

Li Chuyun didn't understand what Emperor Liu was thinking, so he pondered for a while, and proposed again: "How about Lingzhou Commander Kang meet again?"

A concise and clear proposal, Emperor Liu's response to this was also clean and neat: "Yes!"

Thus, the candidate to succeed Shi Hongzhao to guard Longyou came out like this.
