Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

In the evening, under the gloomy autumn sun, the post-rider was galloping on the official road with an 'urgent' crimson envelope on his shoulder and a Czech flag on his back, his figure being dragged long.

The people working on both sides of the official road along the way looked up and saw the smoke and dust billowing, and then they worked with their heads down.Only the toddler looked curious, but was called back to the field by his parents to prevent accidents from happening.

The postman galloped to the north post station in Chengdu. Although his face was full of wind and frost and his expression was exhausted, he still waved his arms and shouted loudly: "Great victory, great victory in Liangzhou! General Zuo and the chief history of the Western Regions went out to defeat the captives and kill the number of prisoners." Ten thousand level, the northern captives fled far away."

After finishing speaking, Yiqi was so tired that he almost fell off his horse.The post official hurried forward to help and lead the horse.

After a sigh of relief, Yiqi took out the bamboo slips from the envelope and handed them over, speaking in Liangzhou dialect: "Hexi battle report, urgent battle report, please submit it to the inner government."

The post officials didn't talk too much nonsense, and while ordering people to help him go down to rest, they quickly arranged for people to pass the happy event of the Hexi victory to the city of Chengdu.

After several hand-offs, when it was presented to Liu Chan's case, the sky had completely dimmed.

Liu Chan was feeling exhausted, and Fang Fang withdrew from the crowd of children.In recent years, Liu Chan has lived in Chengdu for a long time, and all the concubines are favored, and the number of heirs is increasing.

Xiahou Huigang gave birth to Liu Chan's fourth son, and now she is pregnant again. It is really easy to get pregnant.Mrs. Tsing Yi Xiang is also pregnant.

Mrs. Li in Longxi just gave birth to a daughter for Liu Chan. This is Liu Chan's second daughter, and the eldest daughter was born by Queen Zhang's maid.

At present, only Empress Zhang is not pregnant in the palace, so Da Zhang's younger sister Zhang Se has never been married, and under the operation of the Zhang family, she wants to enter the palace to serve Liu Chan.But Liu Chan didn't let go, instead he was more considerate to Da Zhang.

Liu Chan also knew what the Zhang family had in mind.After Zhang Bao, Zhang Fei's eldest son, left a son, he passed away early, before Liu Chan ascended the throne.The second son Zhang Shao's talent is really mediocre, so he can be praised for his loyalty to the Han Dynasty.Although Zhang Yun, the eldest daughter, is a queen and is deeply favored by Liu Chan, she has no children, which is really embarrassing.

From this point of view, the Zhang family seems to be very favored at this time, but they have to face the situation of having no successors. Once the future prince of the great man is not the heir of the Zhang family, the Zhang family will be no different from other families of the great man.That's why Mrs. Xiahou, who is in charge of the family, has always wanted to let her second daughter Zhang Se enter the palace and give birth to an heir, who will then be raised by Zhang Yun and become a legitimate son.

Liu Chan thought that in another year or two, when Liu Sui and Liu Kun were twelve or three years old, he would have a look at their character and aptitude to determine whether Zhang Se should be brought into the palace.

It was Zhang Shao who submitted the official document this time. As Huo Yi's successor, he was not good at handling affairs, but he was far less decent than Huo Yi when it came to conveying the affairs of the inner government and the palace.People often turn a blind eye to him because he is the younger brother of Queen Zhang, and don't pursue it.

"Is there any review by the Prime Minister, how will the rewards be arranged for the two of them?" Liu Chan looked at Zhang Shao and asked after browsing for a while.

Zhang Shao thought for a while, then said: "The Prime Minister only reviewed the official documents of General Zuo and the Chief History of the Western Regions. As for the awards, the Prime Minister said that General Zuo was an important official of the Han Dynasty. At that time, the prime minister pondered for a long time, thinking that Zhang was a member of the Zhang family in Dunhuang, who had made great achievements in this battle and could be entrusted with an important task. If he lives in the Western Regions, he may lose his talent."

Liu Chan glanced at Zhang Shao and knew that Zhang Shao didn't understand the deep meaning of Zhuge Liang's words.Especially for Zhang Jiu's reward, I am afraid that Zhang Shao will not understand the deep meaning.

When Zhuge Liang talked about Zhang Jiu, he seemed to be talking about his achievements and abilities, but in fact Zhuge Liang emphasized that Zhang Jiu was a member of Dunhuang and a descendant of Cao Wei, and he should be moved to the inland as an official to avoid becoming a big local.

To understand Zhuge Liang's meaning, one must understand the position of Chief History of the Western Regions and its relationship with Dunhuang County.

In the former Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened up the Western Regions and established the Duhu Mansion in the Western Regions. So far, the highest official in the Western Regions is called the Duhu, and the rank of the Duhu is the same as that of the county captain.The captain of the county is the deputy of the prefect of the county and is in charge of the military.

However, because of the special nature of the Western Regions, a "duhu" was set up, and the Duhu became the highest officer in the Western Regions, but in fact the Western Regions were equal to the county-level divisions of the inland regions.

By the time of the Later Han Dynasty, because the Eastern Han Dynasty had little interest in opening borders, it had no in-depth jurisdiction over the Western Regions.It wasn't until Ban Chao gave up his pen and joined the army and pacified the Western Regions that the Later Han Dynasty began to govern the affairs of the Western Regions, but only set up the post of Chief History in the Western Regions, without setting up a guardian.

What about long historians?It is the assistant officer of the frontier prefectures and counties.Therefore, the long history of the Western Regions is under the jurisdiction of the prefect of Dunhuang County, but the long history of the Western Regions has the right to lead the army.

Therefore, in terms of administrative area, Dunhuang County includes the entire Western Regions, and the prefect of the county has jurisdiction over the long history of the Western Regions.In other words, Dunhuang County is the largest county in the Han Dynasty.

And who is Zhang?It is the queen of the Zhang family in Dunhuang.

The Zhang family in Dunhuang is not only a master of Confucianism in Liangzhou, but also a family of Confucianism in the world, and it also has a large number of talents.In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Heng served as the prefect of Hanyang (today's water), Zhang Huan was one of the "Liangzhou Sanming", and Zhang Zhi was hailed as the "Grass Saint" by later generations.

In the Western Jin Dynasty, Zhang Tong was one of the five dragons in Dunhuang, and Zhang Bo was the servant of the prince....Zhang Yichao, a well-known Guiyi soldier in later generations, was also a member of the Zhang family in Dunhuang.

Zhang Jiu's father, Zhang Gong, was originally a county meritorious officer, and the prefect Ma Ai died.

At that time, Jiuquan Huanghua and Zhangye Zhangjin separatist prefectures and counties, and wanted to separatist with Zhang Gong.On the way, Zhang Gong was caught and wanted to intimidate Zhang Gong, but Zhang wrote to Zhang Gong privately, telling him to leave him alone and not afraid of death.

Zhang Gong immediately sent his younger brother Zhang Hua to attack Jiuquan, and sent troops to meet the new prefect Yin Feng.In the end, Zhang was lucky to survive.

Zhang Gong was granted the title of Xiaowei Wuji (Xiaoliu, Chief Shixia of the Western Regions), and later moved to Zhijinwu, where his son Zhang succeeded him as Xiaowei Wuji.When Zhang Gong returned to Dunhuang, he directly refused the reward because of his illness.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang was worried that the Zhang family was originally a big family in Dunhuang, and now they are serving as officials in the local area. I am afraid that they will occupy the local area, which is not conducive to the rule of the big Han in Liangzhou.Moreover, Zhang Jiu and his son are quite talented, and they are well-known in Xizhou. When the big man is employing people, he also needs to win over the Liangzhou gentry. It is better to move Zhang Jiu to the interior as an official and reuse him.

Sure enough, Liu Chan read carefully to the back. Although Zhuge Liang didn't comment in detail, he wrote in the side with Zhu Hong that You Zhonglang general Zong Yu could be the chief historian of the Western Regions.

Liu Chan smiled knowingly, Zong Yu, courtesy name Deyan, is from Nanyang, Jingzhou, he is strong and sensitive.After the Great Han pacified Longyou, he assisted Ma Dai in training cavalry, and had the experience of being a vulgar with the Hu people, so it was quite appropriate to be promoted to the chief history of the Western Regions.

Another point is that, like Lu Yi and Wei Yan, they are all from Nanyang County, Jingzhou. They are worthy of Liu Chan's trust and can get along well with them.

Um!Among the Jingzhou scholars of the Han Dynasty, Nanyang County has the most scholars.Zhuge Liang, Wei Yan, Lu Yi, Deng Zhi, Deng Ai, Chen Zhen, Li Yan....It can be said that after the people of Nanyang County supported the Eastern Han Dynasty, they also supported the Shu Han.

Zhuge Liang often used people from Nanyang County as assistants to assist him in governing the Han.Therefore, Zhuge Liang liked the up-and-coming Deng Ai quite a lot, and even included Deng Ai in the candidates when he was investigating the heir, but in the end he had to give up because of Deng Ai's character.

Liu Chan pondered for a while, picked up a pen and appointed Zhang Jiu as the prefect of Jincheng, and transferred Liang Xu, the former prefect of Jincheng, back to the Chengdu court to serve as an official.
