Xuande

Chapter 377
It doesn't really matter whether this kind of thing is true or not. The hope magician just needs to say that what he says is what he says, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't, just fool it.

Since ancient times, there are thousands of prophecies, and there are countless failures, but as long as one or two are correct, it is enough to shock the world.

As long as people in the world feel that there are people who can predict the future, the profession of psychic magician will always be popular, and there will always be a market for prophecy.

So Dong Fu didn't care at all whether the Yizhou branch was really a man of heaven, he just needed a passable person to relieve Yizhou's troubles, and for this purpose he used his occupation and professional skills a little bit.

"This old man has lived to be 80 years old. Is it possible to tell lies?"

Liu Yan's face was full of disbelief.

"This matter is very important, and it is related to the emperor's veins. Why didn't Dong Gong tell the emperor, but tell me?"

"Why does Jun Lang think it is?"

Dong Fu blinked and looked at Liu Yan with a smile.

The guess that didn't exist in Liu Yan's heart suddenly fell into reality.

"Dong Gong, I am the clan of the Great Han Dynasty, and I will not do things that are contrary to the existence of the Great Han Dynasty."

Liu Yan swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty.

"Jun Lang, did the old man ask you to do something that contradicts the existence of the Great Han Mountains and Rivers?"

Dong Fu had an innocent face: "Jun Lang, this old man just told you that the Yizhou sub-district is a man of heaven, and he didn't say anything else. Do you think what the old man said?"

He really just said something about it.

but……

When Dong Fu said this, Liu Yan suddenly remembered the corruption of Xi Jian, the governor of Yizhou, who had caused a lot of trouble in the court recently.

Xi Jian is a member of the eunuch. For the benefit of the eunuch, but also for his own benefit, he cleverly set up a name to collect taxes on the position of governor of Yizhou. stretch.

He completely disregarded the rules of each family and took advantage of others, threatening one family today and threatening another family tomorrow, forcing them to give up a large amount of benefits to himself and the eunuch, which was extremely ugly.

If a certain family member refuses to obey his blackmail, he will implement the policy and lead his minions to rob directly, without even a soft policy.

As a result, within a very short period of time, he caused people's grievances in Yizhou to boil. Everyone from the low-level people to the powerful families of the upper-class gentry hated him very much and wanted him to leave quickly.

The Dong family in Yizhou is also a well-known family with a lot of property. Xi Jian must be desperate to compete with them for their interests in order to make money.

It is estimated that not only the Dong family, but most of the gentry and tyrants in Yizhou have already had a unified goal and reached a united front. They want to drive Xi Jian away in one go, so that he cannot continue to harm their Yizhou.

Mr. Dong is the most famous person in Yizhou in the capital, so they must have asked for Mr. Dong.

But for Dong Fu, it would definitely not work to force it directly. Xi Jian took the eunuch's way, spent money to clear up the relationship with the eunuch, and got the position of governor of Yizhou, in order to make money, not to get back the money he paid. He will never let it go.

In order to protect their "reputation", eunuchs probably would never tolerate Yizhou people getting rid of their business partners easily.

In this way, Mr. Dong probably had no other way out, so he came up with this idea out of desperation.

After figuring out this joint, Liu Yan felt that Dong Fu wanted to make a deal with him, asking him to help Yizhou people drive away Xi Jian and restore order, and then Dong Fu would use his reputation as a guarantee to help Liu Yan stand firm Heel, let him avoid disaster in Yizhou.

Both parties take what they need.

The roads in Yizhou are difficult to travel. As long as the roads are cut off, outsiders can't get in, and people inside can't get out. It is a perfect place to avoid disasters.

only……

"Mr. Dong, the decision of the imperial court is beyond my control. I don't know if I can get this position."

"Whether Yizhou has the emperor's spirit, this is something I can know, and whether I can get this position is something Jun Lang can know."

Dong Fu smiled and said, "If Jun Lang is interested, why not fight for it?"

Liu Yan was silent for a moment.

"If it is as you said, I will work hard to fight for it."

The two reached a tacit agreement, but no one expected that the situation would not go on like this.

A few days later, Liu Hong directly convened a court meeting and announced his decision at the court meeting.

In view of the financial difficulties of the imperial court, it was difficult to dispatch a large army to suppress the rebellion, so he decided to appoint the state pastor and allow the state pastor to raise his own army and food to deal with the Yellow Turban Army.

He decided to appoint the elder of the clan, Zongzheng Liu Yu, as the post of Qingzhou Mu.

The elder of the clan, Taichang Liu Yan, was appointed as Xuzhou Mu.

Huang Wan, an important official of the imperial court and a master craftsman, was appointed as the post of Yuzhou Mu.

All in all, in Liu Hong's view, the current situation has reached the point where it cannot be solved without strong medicine. Given that Liangzhou has achieved good results under the rule of Liangzhou Mu Liu Bei, Liu Hong hopes that the three new state shepherds can Follow Liu Bei's example and strive to fulfill the duties assigned to them by the court.

After the appointment was made, the officials participating in the court meeting immediately began to whisper and discuss again and again.

As for the three appointed, Liu Yu's expression was normal, Huang Wan was a little excited, and Liu Yan was in a daze.

what's the situation?
I just prepared to apply for the post of Yizhou pastor, why did you appoint me as Xuzhou pastor?
Xuzhou is located in the place of the Four World Wars, so how can it compare with Yizhou?
And as a state shepherd in this kind of place, how can I carry out the next plan?
Liu Yu didn't think too much, but felt that the burden on his body was heavier. Huang Wan didn't think too much, just felt that the opportunity to be promoted to Sangong was beckoning to him. Only Liu Yan was panicked and unwilling to accept the appointment.

But in public, he really didn't know what to say.

Because there is no need to increase taxes, and there is no need to use the last sum of money in the treasury to fight wars, so the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not have too many ideas. The combination of important officials in the upper court does not seem strange.

Of course, in addition to Liu Yan, Yuan Kai also noticed some bad things. He suspected that once Huang Wan made meritorious service, he might take the position of Sangong and fight for power and profit with him, which was not good for his plan.

He tried to dissuade Liu Hong from such an appointment, but Liu Hong seemed to have come to announce the conclusion, not to discuss, and left soon after announcing the appointment, leaving no chance for Yuan Kai to object.

Yuan Kai felt very upset, and felt that Liu Hongzheng must have been slandered in his ears by someone, needless to say, this person must be Zhang Rang.

Damn eunuch!
After the court meeting ended, Liu Yan hurriedly asked to see Liu Hong, and told Liu Hong that he was not a talent who could stabilize Xuzhou. He hoped to obtain the post of Yizhou pastor and stabilize Yizhou for the court.

"There have been a lot of bandits and bandits in Yizhou recently. With the talents of the ministers, I am afraid that I can't deal with too large a rebellious army. I can only deal with a few or two bandits. Please have your majesty's eyes to know the talents and choose another virtuous person to serve as Xuzhou pastor."

Liu Hong was very dissatisfied with Liu Yan's request.

"The governor of Yizhou is still in office. The mere thief, as long as the governor solves it. Since there is no major issue, why should he be registered as the governor of the state? The Han clan is in a high position, and he should share the country's worries. Why does Junlang shirk? Don't you want to do it for the Han Dynasty? Do you want to fight against the world?"

When Liu Hong said this, Liu Yan wanted to cry without tears.

He really didn't want to go to Xuzhou, but Liu Hong said so much, can he not go?

If he doesn't go, I'm afraid his future official career will be over.

So Liu Yan could only accept the appointment with all kinds of reluctance, and prepared to go to Xuzhou.
