Chapter 551 The Relationship between Monarch and Minister
Seeing that Tian Chou was struggling, Liu Xie didn't urge him, and closed his eyes leisurely, enjoying a moment of relaxation.

Tian Chou rushed here, indicating that the impact of the battle of Xiu Tuze has spread to Youzhou, and even the whole country.At this moment, I don't know how many careerists are trembling.Whoever said that the great man's fire and morality will end, I'm afraid even I don't believe it.

Therefore, it is not as straightforward as a big victory to have a brilliant tongue and write a thousand words.

With such confidence, he can calmly face Tian Chou, and can confidently send Xun Yun westward.

There was the familiar sound of horseshoes in the distance, from far to near.

Liu Xie opened his eyes and turned his head to look over.

Tian Chou also turned his head and saw a woman riding a horse, rushing straight to the emperor.When he was less than twenty steps away from the Son of Heaven, he still didn't slow down, and Lang Guan on the side didn't see any movement.Tian Chou was taken aback, jumped up subconsciously, pushed hard, and pushed Liu Xie away.

Liu Xie was caught off guard and staggered two steps by Tian Chou, almost falling down.Fortunately, he has practiced martial arts diligently recently, and his footwork is proficient. He took two consecutive steps back and quickly stabilized his mind. He had already pressed his right hand on the handle of the saber, and with a flick of his thumb, the long saber was unsheathed.

Tian Chou didn't feel the killing intent on Liu Xie at all, he stood in front of Liu Xie and shouted loudly.

"In front of the emperor, who dares to be presumptuous? Dismount quickly."

Before she finished speaking, the woman reined in her mount.With a long hiss from the war horse, the man stood up, kicked a few steps with two bowl-sized horse hooves, and then landed lightly, the huge body was as light as a swallow, and landed silently.

The woman on the horse looked at Tian Chou curiously, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, where did this warrior come from? Loyalty and bravery are commendable."

Liu Xie put the saber back into its sheath and gently pushed Tian Chou away. "Zitai, this is Ma Yunlu, Marquis of Ganting, the female cavalry governor of Yulin. Yunlu, this is Tian Chou, Tian Zitai, a righteous man from Youzhou."

Ma Yunlu's eyes lit up, he got off his horse, and bowed his hands in salute. "It turned out to be Tian Jun of Youzhou, who has been admiring him for a long time."

Tian Chou was also stunned, looked at Ma Yunlu, then turned to look at Liu Xie. "Women can... be named Marquis?"

"Why can't women be named marquises?" Liu Xie took the knife from Tian Chou, inserted it into the scabbard, and pulled Tian Chou back to his seat. "She is a marquis who also earned it by virtue of her military exploits. Isn't the head of the leader of the Red Sun tribe, Luo Luoluo, worth a Marquis of Ting?"

Tian Chou took a deep breath. "The commander of the Red Sun Tribe was beheaded by her?"

"It's absolutely true." Liu Xie turned to look at Ma Yunlu and asked why he came.

Ma Yunlu was very indifferent to Tian Chou's surprise, she was used to such scenes.Men have an inexplicable self-confidence, always feel that women are inferior to men, the more talented men are, the more so, only the emperor is an exception.

"Your Majesty, the training of the female army has been completed. There are a total of [-] knights. There are [-] Han people, [-] Qiang people, [-] Xianbei people, and [-] other Hu women from the Western Regions. People. Can be reviewed at any time."

Liu Xie nodded. "There are quite a few Han people. We will pick some after arriving in Hanyang and Guanzhong."

"only."

"Get ready for a review when you arrive in Wuwei." Liu Xie thought for a while, and then said: "It's just under Nanshan, where you used to train. It can be regarded as the place where women cavalry first started."

"Wei." Ma Yunlu said: "I plan to recruit more Han women who can read and write into the camp. There are too many affairs in the camp, and the chief secretary and long history are too busy, and the promotion of enlightenment is too slow."

"feasible."

Ma Yunlu said a few more words to Liu Xie, got on his horse, glanced at Tian Chou, bowed his hands in salute, turned the horse's head, and galloped away.

It took Tian Chou a long time to react, and he looked at Liu Xie with incredible eyes. "Your Majesty... Your Majesty built a female army?"

"It's only a thousand people, but a battalion, not an army." Liu Xie greeted Tian Chou to take his seat, with a smile in his eyes. "Worthy of being a famous scholar in Youzhou, he is very athletic. How about it, are you interested in joining the army?"

Tian Chou was slightly startled, but then he realized that he was not humble. "If your majesty sends troops to Yi County, I would like to be your majesty's forerunner."

"I'm afraid Gongsun Zan won't last until then." Liu Xie patted his knee. "Besieged by an army of hundreds of thousands, Gongsun Zan couldn't fly. The reason why he has been able to survive until now, as you said, is that Yuan Shao, Liu He and others were suspicious of each other and couldn't go all out. As long as they can work together, Gongsun Zan will definitely be defeated, and it is very likely that he will not persist." to the summer solstice."

He paused, and then said, "You probably won't see him for the last time."

Tian Chou was surprised and delighted. "I hope that as Your Majesty said, I hate this man, wish him a speedy death, and don't want to see him."

"But I don't think so."

Tian Chou was taken aback for a moment, and his heart that had just been let go picked up again. "Your Majesty... what do you think?"

"Gongsun Zan was a cruel man, and he was guilty of killing innocent people indiscriminately. But he was also a man of meritorious service for his country. People in Youzhou avenged their old masters, and Liu He avenged their fathers. In collusion, he attacked and killed Gongsun Zan for his own selfish desire. After this battle, those Xianbei and Wuhuan who had been favored by the Grand Tutor may follow Yuan Shao to fight against the court."

Liu Xie sneered. "Do I still want to cheer for him?"

Tian Chou was not in a hurry, and immediately said: "Xianbei and Wuhuan both felt the Taifu, so they came here at the invitation. If your majesty regards the Taifu's son as the shepherd of Youzhou, and he is in charge of Youzhou, just like when the Taifu was there, Xianbei , Wuhuan will naturally not be an enemy of the imperial court. Even Yuan Shao, in front of His Majesty Tianwei, can only bow his head and proclaim himself a minister."

Liu Xie raised his eyelids. "Liu He is the shepherd of Youzhou?"

Tian Chou stood up and bowed again. "The ministers and others discussed together to plan for the imperial court and Youzhou. Using Liu He as the shepherd of Youzhou can save the emergency. When the world is settled, Your Majesty will return to the old capital, and then call Liu He to serve in the court and share the peace. Wouldn't it be beautiful? .”

Liu Xie remained silent, but there was a bit of sarcasm in his eyes.

Tian Chou came all the way, representing the people of Youzhou, to seek the post of shepherd in Youzhou for Liu He.

But he didn't say anything.

The concept of monarch and ministers in the Han Dynasty has a legacy from the pre-Qin period, which is not the same as that of later generations.The magistrate of a county, the prefect of a county, and the state shepherd and governor of a state are all monarchs, so the county magistrate is called the court, and the prefect, state shepherd, and governor are called the emperor.

For a person like Tian Chou who has no official position in the imperial court but has been dismissed by Liu Yu, Liu Yu is the old master, but he, the emperor, is not.

He doesn't like this relationship between monarch and minister, and wants to change it, but right now he can't force Tian Chou to accept it.

He needs more time.

Facts are facts, but he can not accept Tian Chou's request.Regardless of whether Liu He still has the imperial court in his heart, he doesn't have to accept it.

This kind of expedient measure is often the root of disaster. Once the convention is established, it will be difficult to change it back later.

It is admitted that Liu Hezi inherited his father's business and took over Youzhou Mu, so isn't it legal and reasonable for Liu Zhang to take over Yizhou?Yuan Shao professed his minister verbally and became the shepherd of Jizhou. Will Yuan Tan succeed him in the future?After Liu Biao died, Jingzhou should also be handed over to his son?

This is not the empire he wanted, but turning the clock back in history and returning to the feudal era.The chronic disease that led to the collapse of the Eastern Han Dynasty-the tyranny has not been eliminated, but has been strengthened.

I live in the frontier, sleep in the open, lie on the ice and climb the snow, is it for this?
ridiculous.
