Chapter 305
"Abandon Shi Limu? So fast?"

When the news reached Lingling County, Qin Yu was stunned.

If he remembers correctly.

It has been 188 years since Shi Limu was abolished.

It is only 187 years now, although it is not far away from 188 years, but Qin Yu was slightly surprised by the sudden occurrence.

have to say.

This guy Liu Yan is really listless.

He is too common, and he was bragging when he came up with Liu Hong.

Your Majesty, look, now there is chaos and rebellion everywhere, is this the fault of our old Liu family?

That is obviously impossible.

The reason why these things happened has nothing to do with our old Liu family. The responsibility is basically those aristocratic families who act recklessly.

Now that the aristocratic family is powerful, it is not easy for us to engage them.

And in many things, we have to rely on them to help.

It's even more impossible to just break this relationship.

But your majesty, you have to think about it. .

Every time you go out to quell the rebellion, in the end, you spend all the money and food you have worked so hard to save, Your Majesty.

Our old Liu family wiped their butts, but they all made a lot of money. Didn't we lose money?

When Liu Hong heard this, he immediately slapped his thigh and quite agreed.

Liu Yan was right.

In the past few years, there have been many things to suppress rebellion and suppress bandits.

All the money for the whole day came from his west garden.

Originally, I wanted to build a few more yards, but now I have nowhere to go.

Thinking of the disasters caused by the aristocratic family that he was messing around with outside, he had to wipe their ass by himself in the end.

Liu Hong felt wronged in his heart.

Then Liu Yan struck while the iron was hot and expressed his thoughts.

He said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, it is actually not that difficult to suppress the rebellion."

"How capable are those ordinary people to cause much unrest?"

"Actually, the most fundamental reason is that the price we spent in countering the rebellion was too high."

"Not to mention the need to transfer troops from Sanfu every time, there is no benefit after the fight."

"How much food and salary will be consumed just on the way back and forth?"

"Instead of this, it's better to solve the problem directly from the root cause. Now the prefect and governor don't have enough power to deal with these rebellions."

"It's simply impossible for them to deal with those local powerful families."

"Since this is the case, we might as well re-establish the official position of the state pastor and let them have greater rights than the governor and county guard."

"It's just that the candidates for these state pastors must choose clan relatives or trustworthy ministers. Only these people will really think about your majesty, and will really contribute to solving those rebellions, and even those aristocratic families."

While Liu Hong was a little moved, he was actually a little worried.

However, this position of State Shepherd is not unprecedented.

Now according to Liu Yan's statement.

The right to give out is indeed a bit too great.

But it's just like what Liu Yan said.

If there is no one who can control all political and military affairs locally, one person can develop all official positions independently.

It is impossible to suppress those families.

There will always be someone who will stand up and sing against you, trying to make foreign workers.

Liu Hong has long hated this kind of thing.

So after thinking for a long time.

Liu Hong finally complied.

The main thing is that there is really no way.

However, it was impossible for him to directly give up all the positions of the state shepherd from the very beginning.

Moreover, the positions of state pastors given out are also places where rebellions often occur and the central court is beyond the reach.

When Liu Yan heard that Liu Hong seemed to have loosened his tone, he was suddenly overjoyed.

He didn't say much about it either.

Then he resigned directly.

In any case, he also had to maintain some due reserve on the surface.

And he is too ordinary.

Let's talk about the ranking of closeness and estrangement among the clansmen of the Han Dynasty.

He, Liu Yan, is undoubtedly at the top of the list.

If Liu Hong really wants to send people to govern the place.

Then Liu Yan must be on the list.

Liu Yan was quite convinced of this.

At this time, he showed that he didn't have any thoughts about the state shepherd's position, but he was in An Liuhong's heart.

In fact.

Since that day.

Liu Yan has already started to work for himself behind his back.

Liu Yan is a smart man, and a smart man with great ambitions.

From the time when Liu Hong inherited the throne, Liu Yan didn't have a good impression of Liu Hong.

Since then.

A thought would come to his mind from time to time.

Why can Liu Hong sit on the throne, but Liu Yan can't?
It turns out.

Liu Hong's ability is indeed much worse than that of Liu Yan.

At least, in terms of self-control over beauty, Liu Hong is really not very good.

Liu Hong's character is a bit outrageous.

He is purely likes and dislikes.

But it's too obvious.

When you trust someone, you can't wait for all the trust to be given to you.

When you don't trust a person, no matter how you look at him, he will think that he is a traitor.

This can also be seen from his previous decisions.

He favored eunuchs, so he was so outrageous that he said that the servants were his parents.

And he didn't trust the scholars themselves very much, and under the instigation of these eunuchs, the two disasters of party imprisonment directly killed the scholars.

And when he killed the scholars at that time, whoever dared to speak up for these scholars would inevitably die in the end.

If it weren't for the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it would have been too violent.

Liu Hong himself is full of distrust of scholars, which makes him feel that these people are very likely to be forced to join the camp of the Yellow Turbans to fight against him.

He really doesn't have much confidence that he can win the Yellow Turban plus the power of the scholars.

As a last resort, he ordered the party to be lifted.

If not, he felt he could keep the party going until his death.

But it is also because of his temperament.

That's why Qin Yu can live so comfortably under his hands.

Not to mention Qin Yu, even Zhang Zhao and others under his command had to lament that Liu Hong really trusted Qin Yu too much.

Although Qin Yu is only a Lingling county guard now.

But here's the problem.

The power possessed by Qin Yu, the sheriff, is really extraordinary.

Other people's sheriffs can only control the political affairs of a county.

It is simply impossible to move the military power here.

Military power is in the hands of other captains.

The captain is also an official directly appointed by the imperial court and is directly responsible to Liu Hong.

Not to mention this level of official position.

Even those county magistrates and county lieutenants.

These were also all direct appointments from the central court.

It is absolutely impossible for ordinary sheriffs to have the ability to make such appointments.

And put it on Qin Yu.

It was naturally impossible for Qin Yu to bypass this link.

But he won the favor of Liu Hong alone.

The current captain of Lingling County is Lu Bu who is beside Qin Yu.

Those county magistrates and county lieutenants were all Qin Yu's subordinates.

And their official position was nominally directly assigned by the imperial court.

In fact, all of these were privately instructed by Liu Hong to Qin Yu. As long as Qin Yu submitted a letter on the form, the next appointment would be approved directly.

This kind of treatment is really not a state herd, it is better than a state herd.

It is also because Qin Yu has this power.

He was able to complete the complete transformation of the entire Lingling County in the shortest possible time.

Although Qin Yuming knew that Liu Hong was definitely not a wise master.

It is definitely not an emperor worthy of his assistance.

But if he has the ability, Qin Yu really doesn't mind helping him.

It's just that Liu Hong has never looked for Qin Yu much.

Qin Yu was also happy to be at leisure.

Just fill him up with the divine water.

Anyway, it seems that Liu Hong cares more about this kind of thing.

Qin Yu also fulfilled his wish.

Let's go back to the state shepherd's matter.

After Liu Hong made this suggestion to Liu Yan that day.

He also felt a headache.

Liu Hong is not stupid.

He has never eaten pork, and he has not seen a pig run?
In the past, although there was an official post of state pastor.

But no one has ever raised the power of the state pastor to this level before.

Military, financial, personnel appointment and dismissal, all rights are concentrated in one person.

Doesn't this directly become a local emperor who is completely out of the control of the central government?

Liu Hong compares his heart with his heart.

If you change it to yourself.

There is really such a chance to become a local emperor.

Can he not be tempted?
That result was obviously impossible.

How cool the emperor is, he can already feel it now.

Those who have never been an emperor certainly cannot imagine his happiness.

But he thought about it again.

If this kind of thing really happened to me, would it really develop into a path of rebellion in the end?

Not necessarily.

Because Liu Hong believed that if he was the state pastor instead.

He must have deep gratitude to the emperor who gave him such a high degree of trust.

And he appointed state shepherds only to let them suppress bandits and rebellion.

This kind of thing can happen in a year or two.

Slowly, it will be resolved in three to five years.

When the time comes, I will write an imperial edict, how dare these state shepherds still dare to be disobedient?
If he is really disobedient, there are so many people in the world, and every one of them can scold him to death with a spit.

Who is the orthodox in this world?
No matter how hateful those scholars are.

At least one thing they did was in line with Liu Hong's wishes.

That is, their maintenance of imperial power and orthodoxy is really reassuring.

At that time, even if there is a state shepherd who wants to rebel.

That was nothing more than fighting a whole big man with the strength of a single state.

Why would he dare?
Why are you so brave?

After careful calculation.

On the contrary, the vigilance in Liu Hong's heart became weaker and weaker.

"I must make a good plan for the appointment of the state shepherd this time."

"The whole world is full of rebellions caused by those damned families. If there are too many rebellions, if they reach the ears of my husband, I am afraid that he will have some shakes in my ability that he would not have had."

"I'm destined to be a Mingjun! Sir, the Lingling County has been rectified to look like a revival, and I can't lag behind!"

Thinking of this.

Liu Hong then carefully selected the candidate for the state shepherd in his mind.

At this time, Liu Yan's thoughts had already flown to which state he should operate as the state shepherd.

If you use his own initial thoughts.

If he can become the shepherd of Jingzhou.

That should be the choice with the greatest benefits for him.

It is true that Jingzhou is not very peaceful.

Not a few rebellions.

Wasn't Qin Jie, the prefect of Nanyang who was appointed to succeed Qin Yu before, hacked to death by those soldiers who rebelled in Jiangxia County?

In addition, the aristocratic families in this land of Jingxiang have always been wild.

The sect thieves are quite powerful.

There are also Shanyue bandits, which are extremely difficult to destroy, making chaos everywhere.

For the imperial court, it is really not a good place.

But no matter how you say it, Jingzhou is an incredibly rich place.

Nanyang County, the largest county in the world.

South County with extremely prosperous economy.

Coupled with the nearby Jiangxia County with great development potential.

Not to mention anything else, just these three places are enough for Liu Yan to look forward to for a long time.

If you can consolidate and develop this place in your own hands.

In the future, it might not be possible for his lineage to have some background beyond ordinary people.

Being a smart person.

Liu Yan has already seen the fact that the world will inevitably be in chaos in the future.

Now all this is already hinting that a huge chaos may be about to strike.

Maybe it's time to go back and forth again.

But no matter how chaotic the world becomes.

In the end, the people from their old Liu family had to stand up and put an end to the mess.

As it was 200 years ago.

This is the general trend, the unchangeable general trend.

It is also a general trend that everyone in the world has long recognized.

only.

This old Liu family has too many bloodlines.

Don't say anything else.

Take that Liu Bei as an example.

He is also a member of the old Liu family.

Who would know him in the past?
But since dealing with Qin Yu.

Wasn't it immediately remembered by Liu Hong, and recognized by those powerful families?

If one day in the future this world really needs someone to save it, someone really needs someone to take Liu Hong's place.

Can Liu Bei do it?

Obviously yes.

As long as he has enough ability, as long as there are enough people behind him willing to support him, that's enough.

Compared with Liu Bei.

What advantage does Liu Yan have?
We are all descendants of the old Liu family, and there is actually no fundamental difference between the two of them in terms of raising the orthodox banner.

And on the contrary, a guy like Liu Bei who comes from a humble background, has no power behind him, and his own abilities seem to be average is a better target to be supported.

Support such a puppet emperor to take the throne, and then assist the government as a general.

This is the foundation of our Han Dynasty.

Liu Yan naturally knew this very well.

Then what he wants to plan now is enough strength.

He wants to win enough strength for his descendants to fight for the possible throne in the future.

Of course, it is also to satisfy his selfish desire to try to be a local emperor.

Jingzhou Mu seems to be a very good choice.

but.

Just like Liu Yan thought of Liu Bei.

When thinking of Jingzhou, one person naturally appeared in his mind.

Qin Yu!

He made his fortune from Jingzhou.

And now I am still in Lingling County in Jingzhou.

Liu Yan is very clear.

If you want to be a real emperor.

Then he must have the ability to control these counties under his command.

"Qin Yu is a bit tricky..."

Liu Yan tapped the table with two fingers rhythmically, he muttered to himself.

After finishing speaking, even though there was no one around, Liu Yan felt his old face was a little hot.

Where is Qin Yu a little tricky?
It would be nice if it were really just a little bit trickier.

If it is said that it is now necessary to find a person in the Han court that Liu Yan absolutely does not want to face.

Then Qin Yu definitely ranked in the top three!

Although Liu Yan didn't have any dealings with Qin Yu.

But he only knew a lot more about Qin Yu's strength than others.

Because he is ambitious, he will naturally collect relevant information.

Qin Yu's strength is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Liu Yan is very clear.

If Qin Yu's real thought of becoming a state shepherd is exposed to Qin Yu.

The results will be very complicated.

He was also completely uncertain about what Qin Yu was thinking.

He didn't believe that Qin Yu would be so loyal to a waste like Liu Hong.

But he dared not gamble.

Once Liu Hong discovered his desire to be self-reliant.

If Liu Hongruo is an imperial edict, Qin Yu will send troops to attack him.

How is he going to deal with it?

Qin Yu was only a Jiyang county magistrate before.

He's already accomplished that.

And now he has already become the governor of Lingling County.

Even more speechless.

That bastard Liu Hong didn't know what he was thinking.

Even before Lizhou Mu was established, he had already given Qin Yu something similar to Zhou Mu.

His current development in Lingling County is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The morale of Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha County, was completely demoralized by the First World War.

Even if he really became a state shepherd, so what?
Don't forget that Sun Jian was beaten like this by a Xiangxiang County.

The real power in Lingling County has not been used yet!

If he becomes Jingzhou shepherd.

Indeed, if he can become Qin Yu's immediate superior, he will also have great power to appoint personnel and govern Lingling County under his control.

But verbally said so.

If you actually do it.

It still depends on whether Qin Yu gives him this face or not.

If Qin Yu insisted on refusing, what else could he force Qin Yu to do?
With Qin Yu's relationship with Liu Hong, in the end, the one who will really suffer is probably him, the state shepherd.

Wouldn't he simply become a joke by then?
If there is someone like Qin Yu under his command.

For him, it was like a stick in his throat.

It's more like a ticking time bomb.

I'm afraid I can't sleep well day and night.

in this way.

What's the use of Jingzhou?

Might as well look elsewhere.

Liu Yan quickly removed Jingzhou from his target.

Immediately, he set his eyes on the boundary of Yizhou and Youzhou, and began to think carefully.

Liu Yan finally chose Yizhou.

Liu Yu was sent to Youzhou to suppress the rebellion.

Early 188.

The Yellow Turban Army in Gepi, Runan rose again.

The Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places also revolted and attacked prefectures and counties.

For a time, the world was still full of wars.

At this time, Liu Hong finally decided to stand up and rectify the world.

August.

Liu Hong set up the eighth school lieutenant of Xiyuan and took back the military power.

This move was his attempt to weaken the increasingly powerful He family.

Among the eight school lieutenants, led by Jian Shuo, actually represents Liu Hong himself.

Under his command, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao each have official positions, needless to say.

He Jin was annoyed at being divided into military power, but he couldn't talk about it.

And at this time, he still has to be restricted by the little yellow family Jianshuo, which makes him extremely unhappy.

October.

Liu Hong claimed to be the supreme general, and Yu Ping was optimistic about the military parade.

Seeing that the West Garden Army under him was quite powerful, Liu Hong was overjoyed.

He thought that the big man would be prosperous, and after the military parade, he went back to enjoy himself contentedly.

As for the distribution of He Jin's military power, but the problem that the Xiyuan Army itself was not enough, he didn't think much about it.

It's still a long time anyway.

There is no need to worry about these for the time being.

And this time.

In Lingling County, there have been new changes.
