I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 29
emperor?That is Liu Hong?
Liu Jian began to weigh carefully in his heart.

The Son of Heaven will definitely support the dispatch of troops, why did Lu Qian dare to say so with certainty?

He met Lu Qian's gaze, and found that the other party was also stroking his beard at the moment, looking at him with a half-smile, and his heart suddenly woke up.

Oh, it turns out that Lord Lu is testing himself, openly or secretly, and wants to take advantage of today's conversation to test his political quality.

But he was just a younger brother recommended by Gongsun Zan, and he just appointed him as Cao Zuoshi, a soldier of two hundred stone soldiers. For a person like himself, why would he make a fuss out of a molehill to test himself?
What is particularly puzzling is that the Lord of the Lu Mansion still started talking to himself with the emperor, and talked about the capital as soon as he came up, okay?

In the end, I still have to be careful.

Liu Jian pretended to be stupid and said, "Excuse me, my lord, why did the emperor support this Northern Expedition?"

Lu Qian said slowly: "You can't think of it?"

Of course Liu Jian said that he couldn't think of it.

In front of the prefect who met for the first time, he showed that he could understand the matter of Luoyang emperor. Wouldn't that mean from another angle, that he could also see the two thousand stones in front of him to the core?
You understand everything, what do you want us to do?
This is a taboo in officialdom.

"Mr. Huifu, since Jian came back from Goushi Mountain, he has never left Zhuo County for many years. He really knows very little about the affairs in Beijing."

"Haha, you Master Lu works in Beijing, and you are from your hometown. Didn't you mention these things about the court when you exchanged letters during the New Year's Eve?"

Liu Jian was not flustered, but just said honestly: "The teacher usually does not allow us to inquire about the political affairs of the court and China in private. Even if there are letters, most of them are to supervise the study of classics and test the progress of school knowledge, and there are few asides."

"Hahaha~!"

Hearing this, Lu Qian couldn't help laughing: "It seems that your Master Lu doesn't want you to become an official in his heart, but only wants you to read the scriptures of sages."

"It's also possible." Liu Jian looked serious.

"Okay, I've served a term as the prefect of Zhuojun County. Don't tell me I still don't understand your thoughts? It's just that I'm afraid that I'm going to make a mistake."

Liu Jian hurriedly said: "The last official has no such intention."

"I also know your difficulties. If I were in your position, I would be as careful as you. After all, the pros and cons are all here."

"That's all! Let me remind you a little bit. Do you know how many major events happened in Luoyang City after the deep spring of last year?"

"I also ask the Lord to clarify."

"It's impossible for you not to know about major events in the world. Do you have to tell me?"

Liu Jian just smiled, but didn't open his mouth.

Lu Qian let out a long sigh, secretly thinking in his heart that he was very powerful, he met Shangguan for the first time, but he was so calm and restrained, no matter how he played with him, he would not make a sound!

There is an Ayutthaya.

But this time he was really wrong, Liu Jian actually kind of forgot what happened this year.

Not at all humble.

"Well, seeing that you are a new official, I will tell you the main points. At this time last year, the eunuch Wang Fu was sentenced to death for Yang Fangzheng. The next month, Duan Jiong drank poison, and then Yang Fangzheng and four others were arrested by Cao Eunuch. False, condemned to death, I say this, if you still can't think of it, then I'm afraid I will entrust you with the next big thing."

When Liu Jian heard this, he sighed secretly, it turned out that it was because of this incident.

……

Some things need to be sorted out from scratch.

The current emperor Liu Hong has been devoted to the great cause of fighting for power with various forces in the court and being robbed by various forces since he came to power at the age of ten.

Just imagine that when Liu Hong succeeded to the throne, Empress Dowager Dou was a great power sitting in the deep palace of Luoyang;
Chen Fan, Li Ying, and Dou Wu regrouped into a major force;
Cao Jie, Wang Fu, Zhang Rang and Qing Liu are incompatible, and they are one force;

Liu Kui, King of Bohai, upholds the belief that "brothers will end up with brothers";
The Yuan family, Zhou family, and Yang family among the nobles of the aristocratic family looked on coldly, and they were also a faction.

In such a complicated situation, Liu Hong miraculously came to power.

You know, Bohai King Liu Kui is the younger brother of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty Liu Zhi, especially Liu Zhi changed Liu Kui's rank back to the county king before his death, which may somewhat reflect the meaning of "brother ends up with brother".

Liu Kui also upholds this belief, declaring to the outside world that no matter what the conditions are, I am the most suitable to be the emperor. Who of you dare not accept me?
As a result, eunuchs, queens, and the aristocratic family really didn't pay attention to him.

You're so crazy before you become an emperor, but you can't take off after becoming an emperor?

So, after discussing with everyone who lives and dies on weekdays, just choose one of the descendants of King Hejian.

Who made Hejian Wang Liu Kai the grandfather of Han Huan Emperor Liu Zhi?

When Liu Kui found out, he quit directly.

You are public!Are you out of your mind?Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty and his younger brother are here, if you don’t choose him, why are you talking about my grandfather?

The problem is that all the forces are unanimously going to talk about the grandfather of Han Huan Emperor Liu Zhi, as for Liu Kui himself...

Love to die!

In the end, they were chosen, and after several rounds of games between the major forces, testing each other, Jiedu Tinghou Liu Hong made his debut.

There are roughly three reasons why Liu Hong is favored by various forces:

One is good age, young and strong, only 12 years old, Liu Zhi is too old, he died at the age of 36, and he still refuses to be disciplined, this time he has to choose a young and strong man, and strive to work for ten or twenty years Make more use of your waste heat.

The second is that the family background is good, his father died early, and his mother's family is shit, of course, it would be perfect if both parents died, but unfortunately there are still some flaws in the end.

The third is good grades. Xie Du Tinghou at the village cadre level can exchange state affairs with people at the level of the pavilion leader every day. His title is not very high, but such a person has a clean foundation.

Liu Hong entered the court in this way. At the age of 12, he was alone. At the beginning, even his own mother could not come with him, because there was a queen mother Dou in the palace. How could there be any reason to recruit another queen mother?
This was the status quo when Emperor Han Ling first came to the throne, and his young mind was severely damaged by it.

There are a lot of bigwigs inside and outside the court, and he doesn't care about everything inside and outside the court.

Accept your fate?
deny!

I am the emperor!
In view of this, from the moment Liu Hong ascended the throne, his main task was to do one thing crazily...

I want power!
I want power!
I want power!
The emperor has the final say!
But under such harsh conditions, how easy is it?
Although after years of hard work, Liu Hong has indeed grasped some power, but compared with the various forces in the court, it is still too childish.

If we compare political struggle to a multiplayer fight against landlords, Liu Hong, a landlord, has all the cards except himself, the king, and the rest are all three, four, and five. Thief stinks!

As for the farmers on the opposite side...

There are princes and princes in the family, and if you can't fight, you will use the disciples and old officials who swept the world as bombs to bomb you.

The Qingliu of the gentry did not blow up. The problem is that people's cards are all straights.

This means that Qingliu and Shizu do not have the same interests, they sometimes disagree with each other, and fight each other from time to time.

Otherwise, they would definitely give Liu Hong all the power, and the emperor would lose an average of 960 million happy beans per game.

Let the emperor bring the eunuch over to fight the peasants... Hey!These shameless eunuchs still steal the emperor's cards from time to time!

Liu Hong looked at the good cards in the hands of his farmer friends, and he was so jealous.

But there is no way, the cards are issued by the sky, so let's make do with it.

Hit Zhang Xiaosan first and set up the Shizhong Temple!
But in the Han Dynasty, there were only Jiuqing and Nine Temples, and the Shizhong was separated from the Shaofu to establish the Tenth Temple independently. What is the purpose of this?
It's simple, I want to serve the Minister of Zhongsi!You hand over the power of Shangshutai to me.

The power of Shangshuling has been changed for many years, and it has changed a lot. The power of the three princes has been emptied to some extent. important.

As a result, one day an eunuch suddenly reported: "Your Majesty, there is an anecdote in the Shizhong Temple. A hen there has turned into a rooster!"

Liu Hong's face was as ugly as swallowing a fly.

What do you mean?
"Could it be that Shizhong Temple also wants to compete for supremacy? "

OK!You are amazing, if you can't do three, I will make four!
I want to call dozens of filial sons from Xuanling, all except the crown prince!
Xuanling is the mausoleum of Liu Zhi. The filial sons of Xuanling are a group of people who went to keep filial piety for the late emperor.

Of course there is something wrong. Those who come from Taixue have to pass the anecdote exam before they can take the exam for the crown prince, and then they can take the exam for Lang Guan. You just let a bunch of crying graves be the crown prince, what do you want to do?

Do you want to bypass the century-old talent selection system and let you decide directly?Or do you want to arrange your cronies in the court?Your Majesty... wash up and sleep!
Liu Hong's face turned red with anger, 3 and 4 won't work, it's okay if I fight two or five, right?
I will send inspectors to inspect the world and check the problems of your family officials!

All right, Your Majesty, you can check it out, but you checked it back and forth and arrested so many people, why did you pardon your nanny's son-in-law Yang Qiu?It's not kind, people act fairly, why don't they send people to inspect?

you...you...

Liu Hongqi's red face turned green!

I will hit three more eights!

The students of your aristocratic clan in Taixue are so rampant that they bribed the inspectors and changed the only general textbook for the great Han, the Lantai Lacquer Book!All the textbooks have been changed by you!unusable!I want to re-determine the teaching materials and establish the Xiping Stone Classics!

Standing Stones?Is it Jinwen?Well, those who hold great power in the court are all disciples of the current Wenjing, as long as the Shijing is not the wild way of those people of the ancient Wenjing... Live it!

A ten!I established the Hongdu school, and from then on Taixue is not the only national institution of the Han Dynasty. The students of my Hongdu school can also become officials!

Your Majesty, if you want to build a university, you can build it, but why build an art academy?Why are these graduates not painting, learning calligraphy, and reciting poetry?

I am happy, you have nothing to do with it!I like to study poetry and painting, so I let the students of Hongdu School study art subjects to become officials, how about it?
At this time, the eunuch stretched out his hand to steal the card.

Your Majesty, I'm sorry, but this ten of yours belongs to an old slave. We also want to send some of our people to the imperial court through Hongdu Xuemen.

Liu Hong: "..."

I, I have become a king!
We must strengthen the Three Mutual Laws!There are also eunuchs, I will not smash your party card with the king!
Your Majesty, are you flipping the table?Not fun, is it?We can bomb ha!
……

After Liu Hong came to power, every incident and every incident reflected his spirit of not admitting defeat and insisting on maintaining imperial power, but the effect was really not good.

After fighting like this for many years, Liu Hong's Happy Bean has almost lost.

As for last year's game of Fighting the Landlords, it ended like this——

Last year, Duan Jiong and Wang Fu, powerful ministers and great eunuchs in the court, died, but the cruel officials who eradicated treacherous officials, Yang Qiu, also because of the saying, "First give the powerful and cunning, then discuss the rest. 'And got angry and was abandoned by Liu Hong.

To put it bluntly, after Yang Qiu dealt with the great eunuch Wang Fu and Duan Jiong, a powerful minister of the Liangzhou family, he wanted to deal with the family headed by the Yuan family.

Then his fate is self-evident.

As the god of war in Xiliang, Duan Xiong is really good at fighting. He also has a way of colluding with eunuchs to fight courtiers. The problem is that he plays too much.

He first killed Liu Kui, the king of Bohai, who was "brother end brother".

At that time, the niece of Liu Kui's wife became the queen of Emperor Han Ling, forming a political combination of foreign relatives and vassal kings, but was uprooted by eunuchs Cao Jie and Wang Fu connected with Duan Jiong, and the whole clan of King Bohai was exterminated. Just pull it out, why was Queen Song exterminated? (Cao Cao was also dismissed due to his relationship with his brother-in-law Song Qi).

The queens were all killed, and the lives of Wang Fu and Duan Jiong also came to an end.

Liu Hong broke out and used his nanny's son-in-law, the cruel official Yang Qiu, to clean up Duan Jiong and Wang Fu.

If I can't touch the family, I can't touch you? ——I let you steal cards!
In the end, Duan Jiong and Wang Fu died, and Yang Qiu who got rid of them also died because he couldn't control his mouth.

At this time, Liu Hong found that he seemed to have lost several million happy beans in this round.

Wang Fu is a great eunuch, Duan Jiong is a powerful official in Liangzhou, Yang Qiu is a loyal official abandoned by the emperor, and the disciples and former officials headed by these dead people, who will they serve in the future?

Especially Duan Jiong's Liangzhou faction subordinates!
Will he vote for the family ministers of the Kanto?
There is no doubt that in the tragic decisive battle between Beijing and China last year, the eunuchs, military representatives, and the imperial power hiding behind to reap the benefits all failed.

The winner is the representative of the public clan headed by the Yuan family who is not visible in this battle.

Judging from Liu Hong's tossing and tossing personality over the years, this result is something he can't bear.

However, it is a certainty that the aristocratic family will reap the benefits. How to break this situation in a short time?
war!

You bastards, I will definitely not give you beans this time!
You want to incorporate the remnants of Duan Jiong and Wang Fu in the local area?can't do it!
I will find a chance to fight and cut you off!

In my opinion, who are those Liangzhou warriors serving in Bingzhou still working for?
Perhaps the best result for Liu Hong is to go through the war and fight a few more times to get out.

……

"Your Majesty is right. Your Majesty will fight for the sake of the world, the stability of the court, and the situation of the Han Dynasty! It's just that in the court, those old and prudent ministers may not necessarily allow it."

Liu Jian's words were quite ingenious. He not only answered Lu Qian's question lightly, but also asked him an important question based on his question.

If the imperial power wants to break the current situation, it needs to fight, but as the aristocratic officials who have vested interests in the few incidents last year, will they be willing?

There are Situ Yuan Kui and Taichang Yang Ci in it.

"Therefore, if this matter is to be accomplished, it is necessary to achieve a unity of purpose, and the local officials will join hands to create momentum and give His Majesty a reason to directly make a decision in the court. Only in this way can it be accomplished."

Liu Jian nodded suddenly. After talking so much, he finally gradually began to understand the position of Lu Qian and others.

These people are not considered family ministers, but they belong to Qingliu.

In all fairness, the Qingliu gentry group is relatively fair among the factions at all levels in the Han Dynasty. Apart from being at odds with the eunuchs, most of the time they are still in the tit-for-tat confrontation between the imperial family and the family ministers, including foreign relatives. Be fair and objective.

The premise is not to touch their interests.

Lu Qian continued: "After the change in Luoyang last year, most of the officials in the border county should agree with the matter of going out of the fortress, especially the officers and men of the border county who have suffered from Xianbei for many years and have the ambition of revenge. At the moment there are three people who may not be willing to respond, but these three people are still important people."

"May I ask who are the three people that Fujun said?"

"Tao Gongzu, the governor of Youzhou who will leave office, Liu Bo'an, the governor of Youzhou who is about to take office, and Dong Zhongying, the governor of Bingzhou."
