Han family achievements

Chapter 108
Taiyuan City.

Liu Bian was patrolling the city, followed by Lu Zhi and Zhang Liao.

Lu Zhi's expression was calm and serious.

Liu Bian held the good news from various places in his hand, and said with a smile: "When I was in Beijing, Huangfu Qing's family once told me that Lu Qing's family was far superior to him in state affairs, army management, and military strategy. Originally I thought that Huangfuqing's family was too modest, but today, it seems that Huangfuqing's family is telling the truth."

Lu Zhi bowed and said: "The Great Sima is indeed too modest. In these respects, the minister is far inferior to the Great Sima."

Liu Bian smiled.

The relationship between Lu Zhi and Huangfusong was still very good. During the Ping Huangjin Army Rebellion, Lu Zhi was framed by the Twelve Permanent Attendants, and he was convicted and imprisoned for a quarter. It was Huangfusong who tried his best to protect him.

After a short pause, Liu Bian looked at the victory report in his hand again, Xu Bu Gudu was dead, Yu Fuluo ran back, Sun Jian, Zhao Yun and the Black Mountain Army fought, and Gongsun Zan rushed over.

Bingzhou was basically settled down.

The next thing to consider is the aftermath.

Liu Bian intends to transfer Lu Zhi back to Beijing to assist Huang Fusong and promote the reform of the military system.

But Bingzhou is a land of chaos, and it needs a great talent, or even an all-rounder to guard it. Liu Bian thought about it and couldn't find another suitable candidate.

Liu Bian paced back and forth while thinking, "I'm thinking about carrying out land clearing and census in Bingzhou, and then re-dividing the land. What does the Qing family think?"

Lu Zhi didn't move his face when he heard the words, and after serious thinking, he said, "Your Majesty, if this is the case, it is necessary to completely wipe out the banditry in Bingzhou, stabilize the counties and counties, and in addition...a lot of money and food."

Bingzhou is plagued by wars every year, the population is outflowing, people's livelihood is in decline, and there is great rule after the chaos. It is the most suitable place for the big man to change.Not to mention a lot of manpower and material resources, not to mention the post-war relief is also an astronomical sum.

Liu Bian pondered, and said: "I know all these things, but no matter how hard it is, you have to do it, and you can't just tinker and procrastinate."

Lu Zhi knew everything about Beijing, looked up at the young His Majesty in front of him, and remained silent.

Liu Bian walked for a while, then suddenly turned back and said: "Qing family, the imperial court will send people to the counties and counties in a short time. In addition, as for the prefects, I think that we should concentrate on political affairs and have someone to assist in military affairs... Qing family What do you think?"

Lu Zhi understood Liu Bian's thoughts in an instant, thought for a while, and said, "I think it's possible, but you shouldn't be in a hurry."

Liu Bian nodded slightly, and Lu Zhi agreed, it would be very easy to use Bingzhou as a test field for reform.

His idea is very simple, the state shepherd cannot be allowed to control the military and political power alone and become the emperor of the land.But the reality is that state pastors in various places must hold great power, otherwise they will not be able to hold down the localities.

The emergence of state herdsmen is to suppress local tyrants, but it is inevitable that a larger independent force will be formed.

His cheap old man wants to use the old Liu's family as the state shepherd, which is similar to enfeoffment. This is repeating the old way. The old Liu's people also have ambitions. Sit in that position.

Lu Zhi's "should not be too hasty", the meaning is also very simple, in addition to the need to suppress the local people, these people have in fact held power, if the court wants to divide their power, it is tantamount to asking for trouble, which will further encourage them to grasp more Power, one step closer to an independent kingdom.

Knowing this situation well, Liu Bian smiled and whispered to Lu Zhi: "Don't let too many people know about this for the time being. We will carry it out quietly in Bingzhou to see the pros and cons. When the time is right, we will spread it out." Of."

"I understand." Lu Zhi said calmly.He has the same attitude as Huangfusong. He is deeply worried about excessive local power, but he also opposes too drastic actions, which will cause local backlash and chaos in the world.

With Lu Zhi's support, Liu Bian was determined, looked up to the north, and said, "What do you think about the Black Mountain Army?"

As soon as Luo Bai finished speaking, Pan Yin came up in a hurry, and handed Liu Bian a playbook with a solemn expression, without saying a word.

Liu Bian glanced at him in surprise, opened it to look, and immediately frowned.

This melody was originally from Xun You, and it talked about a lot of political affairs, but at the end, it seemed to mention casually: The Empress Dowager misses Your Majesty and King Bohai very much, and wants to return to Beijing.

Liu Bian remained expressionless, and said to Lu Zhi with a smile, "Talk to the Qing family."

Lu Zhi noticed Liu Bian's expression and didn't ask any further questions. He said, "I believe that the Black Mountain Army has a large number of people and is separated by mountains. It will take time and effort to forcibly conquer them, and we must focus on appeasement."

Liu Bian thought for a while and remained silent.

After solving the problems of Dong Zhuo and the Xiongnu, the biggest problems in the northern states are two, one is the Yellow Turban Army, and the other is the Montenegro Army.

The Black Mountain Army seems to be quite honest on weekdays, but from time to time they pop up and jump up and down, which makes Liu Bian feel like a stick in his throat, and is unhappy if he doesn't go.

But the situation is here, so Liu Bian has no spare energy, and "smoothly" solved the Black Mountain Army.

Lu Zhi looked at Liu Bian's expression, his temple hair moved slightly, and the corners of his peaceful face showed determination, and said: "Your Majesty, in everything, it is too late, haste is not fast, and patience is needed."

Listening to Lu Zhi's persuasion, Liu Bian heaved a sigh of relief.

The bottom of his heart is like a mirror, he can't do it if he is not in a hurry, even if he is in a hurry!
Liu Bian thought carefully for a while, and said, "In a few days, I will send someone to confer Yu Fuluo as Shan Yu. Sun Jian returns to Hanzhong, and Gongsun Zan... stays in Taiyuan temporarily. The others follow me back to Beijing. By the way, the Qing family will treat Cao Mengde What do you think?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhi looked at Liu Bian, and after a while, said, "He looks like a general."

Liu Bian felt a little weird. Speaking of it, there were indeed many people who were very optimistic about Cao Cao, even though Cao Cao had no military achievements and was repeatedly defeated.

'This is the charisma? '

Liu Bian thought to himself, but with Lu Zhi's step, it will be easier for him to save Cao Cao, and he smiled and said: "Okay. The next thing, I will leave it to the Qing family. If I stay for another day, I will leave it to you." Let's go back to Beijing."

Lu Zhi raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, what about money and food?"

Liu Bian said: "One hundred thousand shi of grain and ten million yuan will be given in two years. No matter how much, I can't get it out."

This amount of money and food is simply a drop in the bucket for the huge Bingzhou, and it is still two years.

Lu Zhi knew the embarrassment of the national treasury, which must have exceeded the limit, and the young majesty probably had to find ways to raise money everywhere.

Compared with the former emperor who was greedy and amassing money, this His Majesty is much more understanding of righteousness.

Lu Zhi looked solemn, bowed deeply, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Bian waved his hand and turned to look in the direction of Luoyang.

After tossing for nearly two months, I have to go back again.

At this time, a soldier came up quietly, and after paying respects to Liu Bian, he whispered behind Lu Zhi.

Liu Bian ignored it and quietly looked in the direction of Luoyang.

Going back this time, presumably his plight will be greatly improved, right?

The soldier left, and Lu Zhi argued with Liu: "Your Majesty, I have some urgent matters. I will deal with them."

After staying with Liu Bian for a few days, Lu Zhi figured out the temperament of the new majesty, as long as the bottom line is not touched, everything will be easy to talk about.

This is a king with a very personality and gentle as jade.

Liu Bian nodded, and when he left, he picked up Xun You's memorabilia again, his eyes darkened.

There must be some reason why Empress Dowager Dong wanted to return to Beijing.

"Is it because I let Liu Xie out and gave this grandmother a different method? She has an idea, and will some people also think about it?"

Liu argued to himself.

For Liu Xie, Liu Bian hoped that he could come out to help him, but once Liu Xie came out, he would attract some ambitious people.

His cheap father wanted to abolish his father and establish his youth, which left Liu Bian with a lot of trouble!

At the same time, a large group of people came in front of the Taiyuan County Mansion.

When they saw Lu Zhi, they reprimanded him loudly.

"Dong Zhuo killed scholars, so the emperor just sit back and ignore them?"

"Since yesterday, Dong Zhuo has killed a total of 600 people in Xihe County, envoy, is this your order?"

"The Zhou family has been loyal and good for generations, and has made great achievements in Bingzhou and Dahan. Now, the whole family is slaughtered, and the king is herding and guarding one side for His Majesty. Is it possible that they are governed like this?"

"Your envoy, I was the only one who escaped from my Li family. If your envoy thinks I'm guilty, please execute me!"

"Which royal law has my royal family violated? Could it be that you even want to kill the princes in the court?!"

Lu Zhi was expressionless, listening to these people shouting.

They didn't even know that Liu Bian had already arrived in Taiyuan City.

When these people stopped for a while, Lu Zhi put his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "Dong Zhuo is a captain, so I can't ask. If you have any grievances, I can impeach you on your behalf."

When everyone saw Lu Zhi pushing [-], they immediately fried the pot.

Someone was about to rush forward and shouted: "Lu Ziqian, Dong Zhuo slaughtered scholars wantonly under your rule, are you just shirking like this?"

"His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty! Let's go to see His Majesty, let's go to Shangdang to see His Majesty!"

"We don't believe it. I am a big man, so I have nothing to reason with!"

A group of people wanted to go to Liu Bian, but some of them refused to leave and kept arguing with Lu Zhi.

Liu Bian came over, saw it from a distance, and said to Pan Yin with an unmoving face, "Dong Zhuo killed so many?"

Pan Yin's face darkened, and he said cautiously: "The little man heard that Zuo Li secretly moved his hands."

Liu Bian hummed, still looking at Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi stood at the door with his hands behind his back, allowing these people to shout, but he didn't say a word, insisting that he couldn't control Dong Zhuo, so that these "sufferers" had nothing to do.

Liu Bian couldn't help but smile.

In fact, most of his list is linked to various rebellions, among which Dong Zhuo, the Huns, and the Yellow Turban Army are all inextricably linked.

In doing so, in addition to liquidating, Liu Bian also paved the way for future reforms.

These unpredictable aristocratic families entrenched in the local area will inevitably be a stumbling block on his reform road in the future!
A soldier suddenly ran up to Lu Zhi and whispered something in Lu Zhi's ear, but Lu Zhi didn't care about it, so he turned his head and left.

Those people shouted, saw Lu Zhi bowing to Liu Bian and leaving, suddenly became quiet, and looked at each other with different expressions.

"That is, Your Majesty?"

"Isn't it? Isn't Your Majesty in Shangdang County?"

"Who is that? Could it be a nobleman from Luoyang?"

……

Lu Zhi followed behind Liu Bian and said, "Your Majesty, Sun Jian slaughtered more than a dozen villages of the Black Mountain Army. I heard that Zhang Yan is holding some kind of alliance..."

Liu Bian frowned, with a cold expression on his face, he said: "If he dares to move, I will defeat his so-called Black Mountain Army!"

With the strength of the imperial court, it is completely achievable.

Lu Zhi paused, and said: "He may not dare to act recklessly, I think about it, I should recall Sun Jian."

It can be done, but the money, food and energy that the court will spend are incalculable, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Now is not the best time to flatten the Montenegrin Army.

Liu Bian looked in the direction of Youzhou, and said directly: "Pan Yin, pass an order to Zhang Yan, ordering the Black Mountain Army to withdraw from the south of Yanmen, and go south without purpose, and will not be spared!"

"Yes." Pan Yin quickly responded to Liu Bian's murderous words.

Lu Zhi thought, but didn't speak.The imperial court defeated the Xiongnu, and the momentum was in full swing, but Zhang Yan dared not resist the order.

"The Qing family has reorganized Niu Fu." Liu Bian said casually again.Niu Fu's army was still in his hands, and it would be a hidden danger if he didn't take back his troops.

"I understand." Lu Zhi said with a bow.

The trend of the times, Dong Zhuo and Niu Fu couldn't help being cautious anymore.

At the moment, Dong Zhuo is still being arrested and convicted county by county according to the list given by Liu Bian.

Cao Cao led his troops to suppress the bandits everywhere. In just five or six days, his team had almost doubled in size!
The rectification of the counties and counties is proceeding in an orderly manner. Although Bingzhou has been turned upside down, there is also a rare 'stability'.

Seeing that the arrangement was almost done, Liu Bian turned around and went back to continue his official duties.

Zhang Liao began to rectify his troops, preparing to escort Liu Bian back to Beijing.

At the same time, Luoyang City was full of uproar, everywhere was Liu Bian's personal conquest, a complete victory, and the great deeds of beheading the Xiongnu Shanyu.

A teahouse was full of seats and noisy.

A middle-aged man leaning on crutches blushed and said loudly, "I was only a foot away from Your Majesty at that time. At that time, the Huns rained arrows overwhelmingly and endlessly. The rain is coming, and I also saw an arrow landed right in front of His Majesty's feet, His Majesty has no fear!"

Everyone knew that he was a wounded soldier who had returned from Shangdang County. Qiqi opened his eyes wide and stared at him with great enthusiasm. He stopped breathing and his face was written all over: "Say it, say it, say it, say it!" ah.

The middle-aged man's vanity swelled in an instant. After drinking a sip of tea and earning enough attention, he said: "At that time, the Huns came fiercely and chased Cao Cao to the south gate. There were 2 people, more than those in Shangdang County." Two thousand more..."

When the middle-aged man was talking about the excitement, he suddenly stood up, stepped on the stool, met everyone's fiery eyes, and said in a loud voice: "It's too late to say, but soon, I saw His Majesty standing on the top of the city, holding his sword high, Eyes full of majesty, shouted with all our soldiers: The city is alive, the people are alive, the city is dead, and the people are dead, I will defend the city with all the soldiers, and we will live and die together!"

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

The audience's blood boiled with enthusiasm, and they couldn't help but applaud.

All the people in the teahouse were very excited, and the shouts and shouts almost destroyed this small teahouse.

In the corner, there were two people who were very calm and whispering.

One of them was about 24 or [-] years old, dressed neatly and handsome, and he looked like a good young man.

He stretched out his head and said in a low voice, "Father, is it true?"

The middle-aged man on the opposite side frowned, his face was dull, giving people a feeling of frowning.

The middle-aged man shook his head lightly and said, "Most likely false."

Who can believe a young emperor who doesn't change his face in front of tens of thousands of Huns?
The young man relaxed, and he thought so too.

"However, beheading the Xiongnu Shanyu should not be a fake. This imperial conquest is indeed a complete victory, which I have not seen for many years as a big man." The middle-aged man added.

The young man's expression tightened again, a trace of pity and melancholy appeared in his eyes, and he said in his heart: "Your driver's personal conquest, if I'm here... If I miss this time, I don't know if there will be a next time." '

Seeing the noise getting louder and louder, the young man collected himself and said, "Father's Luoyang order has been dismissed, why don't you go back to Lujiang?"

The middle-aged man showed dissatisfaction in his eyes, and his heart was depressed, but he couldn't vent it. He hesitated and said, "I think, go to Hanzhong to have a look."

The young man could see it naturally, and immediately said: "With Uncle Sun taking care of me, it's a good place to go."

When the middle-aged man saw his son agreeing, he immediately smiled and said, "Follow me to visit Cai Taichang in the evening, your grandfather has an old relationship with him."

The young man is not familiar with Cai Yong, he just heard that his daughter is a new widow.

The two quietly checked out and left, the bustle in the teahouse continued, and when they went out, they discussed in the streets and alleys the great martial arts and glorious deeds of Liu Bian's personal conquest.

The father and son looked at each other, avoided the crowd, and went straight to Cai Yong's mansion.

The Shangshutai in the palace was also busy like a raging fire.

Xun You just came back from Jizhou, commanding the people under his command, talking to them while flipping through official documents.

"Words are not enough, you must highlight His Majesty's wisdom and martial arts."

"This is for the residence to report to the whole country. If there are not enough prefects, go to the county level."

"Impeach who? Dong Zhuo? Don't worry about it. It's just about His Majesty's personal conquest."

"Let's go to the prime minister and say that the money and food allocated to Bingzhou must not be less, I know... just not less, if you press it again, you must sign the prime minister's signature!"

"What's wrong with Dasinong's Mansion? Money and food must be deposited in, not a grain of it can be lost! Move everyone out, let Xingcao take people there, and forcibly move out."

"You don't need to worry about those in the palace."

"Great Sima...I'll talk about it later, you sort out the list of meritorious deeds again, don't make any mistakes, yes, add Cao Cao."

"What's the matter? Hucao's matter? I'll see He Shangshu later, you give me the amount of money and food, I know I know, I'll figure out a way."

……

Wang Yun came in with a stack of official documents at this moment, seeing Xun You so busy, he turned and went to his valet.

As soon as Xun You looked up, he saw his back, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the candidate for Yuzhou Shepherd is not decided yet."

Wang Yun turned around without moving, and said, "Why?"

Just as Xun You was about to answer, someone handed over a document. He quickly glanced at it and pushed it back, then looked at Wang Yun and said, "Your Majesty has explained before."

Outsiders still don't know that Liu Bian specially left Yuzhou Mu to Dong Zhuo.

Wang Yun walked over with the documents in his arms and said, "I heard that Donglai County in Qingzhou has fallen?"

Xun You sat back, hurriedly flew up, and said casually: "There is no money and food, and Zhu Shijun is now very sad, and several official documents a day urging for money and food, the officials really can't squeeze out..."

Wang Yun wanted to impeach Zhu Jun, and wanted to take the opportunity to test Xun You's attitude, but seeing him like this, he changed the subject and said, "Xun Shangshu, how much is the Xia tax in total?"

"Converted to less than [-] million." Xun You blurted out.

Wang Yun frowned, 30 million yuan, [-] yuan, for the current big man, it is too little, a drop in the bucket!

"I remember, it was still a hundred million a few years ago?" Wang Yun asked tentatively.He was suspecting that Xun You and others hid taxes.

Without raising his head, Xun You said, "The taxes from the southern states have dropped sharply, and Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Bingzhou... are similar."

Thinking of these situations, Wang Yun's expression became tense. Seeing that Xun You was too busy, he turned and left without saying anything.

Listening to his footsteps, Xun You raised his eyelids, watched him enter the duty room, pulled the little official beside him, and said in a low voice: "Go and find out what Xing Cao is doing recently, be careful, don't be found out .”

The little official glanced at Wang Yun's housekeeper, and said cautiously: "Yes."

After saying this sentence, Xun You continued to be busy.

At this moment, Zhong Yao came in with a pile of memorials in his hand, wiped his sweat and said, "It's all about the impeachment of Dong Zhuo, Lu Shijun, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, Sun Jian and others. Except for Your Majesty, no one escaped."

The weather in September was also very hot, so Xun You wiped it off with his arm, and said to the little official, "Add a little more charcoal."

Then he sat down and said, "What did the prime minister say?"

Zhong Yao sat down, took a sip of herbal tea, and said, "I just came back from the prime minister's mansion, and the prime minister said it was 'I would like to play the holy order'."

Xun You shook his head, drove away the others, looked at Zhong You and said, "I heard that many people came to the Recruitment Hall, have you visited it?"

Zhong Yao said: "Go, it's full every day. I tried it, and some of them are really good. I plan to put them in Sanfu for inspection. By the way, there is a young man who is special, with a big tone, but But it said a lot of truth, not all empty talk.”

"Oh?"

Xun You became interested, and said with a smile: "If you can let Zhong Tingwei Gao take a look, there must be something extraordinary, what is it called, and where did it come from?"

Zhong Yao said: "I only know the surname Guo, but I don't want to say the name. Maybe there is some origin."

Xun You recalled carefully, but there was no suitable person, and immediately said: "Since we are here, we can't run away, and we will show up sooner or later."

As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Yun's valet, leaned closer to Zhong Yao, and said in a low voice: "I heard that many people died in Taiyuan. The prince seems to be collecting evidence of Mr. Lu's crime."

Zhong Yao nodded silently.

Wang Yun came from the Wang family in Taiyuan. The Wang family was not considered prominent in the Han Dynasty and the imperial court, but it was not ordinary in Taiyuan.

The two of them also had a lot of slander towards Wang Yun, and they looked at each other, secretly vigilant.

Zhong Yao's expression became more serious, and he approached more and more, whispering: "The Empress Dowager is going back to Beijing?"

Xun You looked down, and turned to look at the small room separated by a wall, which was Liu Xie's value room.

Xun You said, "Well, the Queen Mother is very angry."

Zhong Yao knew, and didn't know what to say for a while.

In the palace, Empress Dowager He could quarrel with the Empress Dowager and take aim at them everywhere, but outside the palace, she had to take care of the dignity of the royal family, and she couldn't blatantly prevent the 'mother queen' from returning to Beijing.

But everyone knew in their hearts that the Empress Dowager Dong could not be allowed to come back—His Majesty is now on the throne, and the rule has been decided!

However, His Majesty of Bingzhou kept a secret, and the palace did not express his opinion.
