I, Liu Bian, the hero

Chapter 47 The District Star Rebellion
The next day, after Cai Zhenji entered the palace to bid farewell to her younger sister Cai Yan, Yang Yu left Luoyang with his wife and younger brother.

Originally, they went straight back to Taishan County, but because of the requisition, the brothers decided to go to Nanyang again to listen to their father's opinion.

About ten days later, the three of Yangqin came to Wancheng, Nanyang, and met their father, Yangxu, who was the prefect.

He told his father everything about his experiences in Luoyang, including the conscription letter.

Sure enough, Yang Xu also felt very embarrassed. Logically speaking, he should not agree with his son to accept this kind of abnormal expropriation. The future prince and monarch of the great man will provoke each other, and the consequences will be disastrous.

He frowned and asked his son, "What did you say, Uncle Yang?"

Yang Qin smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Yang persuaded me to accept it. He said that although Shi Hou is young, he has always had his own opinions. If he is angered, I am afraid that the children will never think about being an official again for the rest of their lives."

After hearing this, Yang Xu frowned, and asked for a while, "How is Shi Hou's temperament?"

Yang Qin said while recalling: "Although he is approachable, his gestures are quite powerful. He really doesn't look like a ten-year-old child."

As he spoke, he told Yang Xu how he met Liu Bian twice, which made the latter sometimes surprised and sometimes frowned.

After Yang Qi finished speaking for a while, Yang Xu said with emotion: "During this period of time, my father and your Uncle Yang have had many correspondences. In the letter, he told me about Shihou, saying that my future monarch is very wise and intelligent. , now it seems that he is a powerful master."

He shook his head helplessly, and said again: "Forget it, since it is Shihou Zhengpi, your brother should accept it."

Seeing that his father agreed, Yang Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked his father for instructions: "Then the hometown..."

Yang Xu thought for a while and said: "Since Shihou Zhengzheng you three brothers, you brothers should go to Luoyang to work, and ask your mother to live with me. As for the land in my hometown, don't sell it first, let the clansman cultivate it, so as not to cause damage to the land. One day my father and son will lose their jobs and will not be able to make a living."

"Yes, father."

Yangqin and Yangdan handed over their orders and set off for Taishan County in the afternoon.

At the same time, in Luoyang Palace, Cai Yan asked Liu Bian again: "Will the Governor of Yang really accept it?"

Liu Bian took pains to reassure her once again: "I am the future monarch of the Han Dynasty. If he dares to refuse my enlistment, then his father and son should be prepared to never serve in office for the rest of their lives."

Although that is what he said, but now he still has not obtained the title of prince, even though he has already started to review the memorials independently under the supervision of the prince's grand teacher Lu Zhi.

Liu Bian really didn't understand what the stupid king was thinking.

When he once again expressed his dissatisfaction in front of Lu Zhi and Zhao Chun, Zhao Chun guessed: "Perhaps your Majesty is forced by Empress Dowager Dong's objection, so he has been slow to appoint His Highness."

This is obvious. According to Zhang Rang, Empress Dowager Dong instructed Sun Zhang and others to speak ill of him in front of Emperor Ling these days.

In particular, he instructed Zhao Zhongzheng to Pie Yangxu's three sons to serve as servants of the Hongdu school, which seemed to have caught Dong Zhong and Sun Zhang. Nor did it prevent Empress Dowager Dong from personally informing Emperor Ling of this matter.

However, Emperor Ling didn't say anything. After leaving Yongle Palace, he just asked Zhang Rang: "Who are Yangmi, Yangyi, and Yangdan?"

Zhang Rang replied: "He is the son of Yangxu, the prefect of Nanyang."

Emperor Ling said "oh", and didn't mention it again, and didn't criticize Liu Bian.

But Liu Bian still felt uncomfortable. After seeing Zhang Rang once, he ordered: "Find something for our Hussar General and Yongle Ling, so that they don't stare at me all day long."

Zhang Rang understood, and said sadly: "Your Highness, why don't you impeach the Hussar General? I heard that since Dong Zhong became a Hussar General, many people defected to him and occupied land outside the city in his name. Sending the censor to investigate will definitely catch Dong Zhong. As for Sun Zhang and others, it is even easier, sending the censor to his hometown to investigate will surely find evidence of their corruption and perverting the law!"

Why is he so sure?
Because he and Zhao Zhong did the same thing before, but now most of their fields in their hometown have been sold, and all their savings have been donated. After donating a huge sum of money, he was crazily amassing money in his hometown, so he was not afraid to "die together" with Sun Zhang and the others.

"Very well, let's do this." Liu Bian clapped his hands and smiled.

So the next day, the censor played Hussar General Dong Zhong's servants who bullied others, corrupted the law, and reported Yongle order Sun Zhang, Yongle eunuch Feng Xiao, Fanglinyuan order Xia Yun to indulge his father and brother in his hometown, and guests and friends to rob other people's property .

Zhang Rang personally handed these memorials to Emperor Ling for review, which greatly angered Emperor Ling.

Dong Zhong was panicked, and while explaining in front of Emperor Ling, he ordered his servants to quickly deal with the aftermath. Sun Zhang and Sun Zhang wanted to bite Zhang Rang, but Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and Guo Sheng had already sold their family property and exchanged for the corresponding Marquis. Already out of control, he cursed helplessly.

Of course, as long as the Empress Dowager Dong is still around, this kind of impeachment can only make Dong Zhong, Sun Zhang and others mess up, but it is not enough to really eradicate them, but in Liu Bian's opinion, this is enough, after all, he wants to The most important thing is to pass these two years smoothly, and wait for two years to take over the throne from Emperor Ling.

It's a pity that God didn't want it.

In July, Liangzhou's rebellion was not over, and another man named Ou Xing rebelled in Changsha. He claimed to be a general, gathered tens of thousands of people, attacked counties and counties, and killed the prefect.

In addition, Zhou Dynasty and Guo Shi rebelled in Lingling and Guiyang successively, echoing Ou Xingyao.

When the news reached Luoyang, Liu Bian felt a headache.

The four years of middle age in history can be described as an eventful time. There were rebellions everywhere. Before that, Liu Bian was lucky enough to think that as long as the court showed a firm determination to suppress the rebellion, it would be able to deter the rebellion everywhere. There is no deterrence, and practical actions must be taken.

Since the rebellion in Liangzhou cannot be subdued for the time being, let's make an example of the rebellion of Xing, Zhou Chao, and Guo Shi in this district!
The problem is that it was Sun Jian who put down the rebellion in history, but now Sun Jian is training troops in Hanyang County to prepare for the conquest of Liangzhou rebels. What should we do?

According to history, Sun Jian was transferred to Changsha as the prefect?Or send another person to be the prefect of Changsha to organize the crusade?

Liu Bian fell into deep thought.

At that time, Lu Zhi noticed Liu Bian's contemplation, thinking that Liu Bian was worried about the rebellion in Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang, so he said: "Don't worry about Shihou, you can order the governor of Jingzhou to lead troops to conquer."

Governor of Jingzhou?

A name immediately appeared in Liu Bian's mind: Liu Biao.

To be honest, Liu Bian didn't have a good impression of Liu Biao, just because Liu Biao was also a separatist warlord in history, just like Liu Yan.

Even when the princes of Guanzhong jointly attacked Dong Zhuo, this guy didn't even send troops.

Of course, Liu Bian admitted that Liu Biao was very capable. He entered Jingzhou alone as the governor, and soon won over the local nobles and powerful men, and transformed himself into a warlord at the end of the Han Dynasty. How do you want to use him.

That's right, currently Liu Biao is still serving as a subordinate in the mansion of General He Jin, and the governor of Jingzhou is Wang Rui, that is, Wang Rui who worked with Nanyang prefect Yang Xu to put down Zhao Ci's rebellion last year.

"Since Wang Rui was able to put down Zhao Ci's rebellion, he should also be able to solve the rebellion among Qu Xing, Zhou Chao, and Guo Shi, right?Moreover, Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang are under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou...』

Liu Bian thought to himself, and then discussed with Lu Zhi: "Master Lu is right, but who should you recommend to be the prefect of Changsha?"

Lu Zhi stroked his beard and said cautiously: "This has to be discussed by the court."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the little eunuch in the hall: "Call a servant from the Huangmen."

Not long after, a servant from the Huangmen came to the hall and bowed his hands to Lu Zhi. When he saw Liu Bian sitting in the hall, he was not surprised, and even greeted with a smile: "Marquis Shi."

Liu Bian smiled and nodded in response.

Of course he recognized the Huangmen servant, Xun You, Xun Gongda, Cao Cao's military advisers, even if they were not comparable to Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, they could definitely be compared with Xu Shu and Chen Gong.

This kind of talent is naturally within the scope of Liu Bian's recruitment, but it is a pity that Xun You is still a member of the General He Jin, and Liu Bian does not want to attract the attention of the General, so he only makes friends with Xun You, but Not solicited.

"Gongda."

Lu Zhi got up and handed the memorial to Xun You about the rebellion of Ou Xing and others, and said: "You immediately hand over this memorial to the general for review, and ask him to immediately recommend candidates for the prefect of Changsha."

Xun You vaguely guessed a little bit, and dared not neglect, he quickly put the memorial in his arms and left in a hurry.

After about an hour or so, Xun You went back and returned the memorial to Lu Zhi. At the same time, he handed over a thick stack of things. In addition to the roster of candidates recommended for the prefect of Changsha, there were also the official resumes of these people.

After Lu Zhi read it carefully, he asked Zhao Chun to pass it to Liu Bian for Liu Bian to have a look.

Liu Bian opened the roster first, and saw more than a dozen names written on the roster, some of which were unfamiliar and unrecognizable, while others were more familiar. And now Liu Dai who is still serving as a servant in the court, and Wang Kuang who was the prefect of Hanoi in history and is still serving as the governor of General He Jin's mansion...

How should I put it, except for Liu Biao, they are all famous people in history but Liu Bian doesn't know him very well, and he is not a person who leads troops to fight fiercely, far inferior to Sun Jian.

These people...can do it?

Liu Bian actually hesitated.

In fact, at this time, he can completely control the appointment of the prefect of Changsha. Although it is obvious that he can't do it, as long as he informs Zhang Rang and asks Zhang Rang to recommend it to Emperor Ling privately, it is enough. Does Zhang Rang dare to disobey his instruction?

It's just that looking at these people, he doesn't know who to recommend.

"Forget it, let it be like this, there is no need to transfer Sun Jian to Changsha..."

Liu Bian secretly thought, after all, the rebellion of Ou Xing, Zhou Chao, and Guo Shi in history was suppressed by Sun Jian within a few months, so it was obviously not a serious thing.

Thinking of this, Liu Bian did not interfere.

In the end, Emperor Ling appointed Wang Kuang as the prefect of Changsha to assist Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, to encircle and suppress the rebellion of Qu Xing, Zhou Chao, and Guo Shi.
