The Great Thief of the Three Kingdoms, save Mrs. Du at the beginning

Chapter 102 The Thirteen States of the Han Dynasty Carve Up, Liu Hong's Unwillingness and Balance
On the same day, the court meeting dispersed, and news from the court quickly swept Luoyang.

As the Yellow Turbans are in full swing, Luoyang City is also in an atmosphere of panic and anxiety.

They were worried that the Yellow Turban would really overthrow the big man.

However, just because the imperial court's three armies were defeated by the Yellow Turbans, the panic-stricken Luoyang people and aristocratic families were shocked to hear that Liu Yu led them to fight against hundreds of thousands of aliens on the grassland, and they had already shown their victory.And the imperial court has urgently issued an imperial edict to Shenwuhou Liu Yu to let Liu Yu quickly go south and return to the court to fight against the Yellow Turban.

Luoyang people and aristocratic families were all shocked, and after the shock, they were pleasantly surprised, exclaiming that the big man was saved!

After being shocked to learn that Liu Yu was attacked by hundreds of thousands of troops from the northern grasslands, his performance was still strong.Luoyang people and aristocratic families all breathed a sigh of relief.

The oppression and panic brought about by the Yellow Turban also got some relief.

As long as Liu Yu can quickly return to the big man, according to Liu Yu's martial arts performance, the turbulent Yellow Turban may not be a problem.

In Luoyang City, because of the news from Liu Yu on the grassland, there was joy and encouragement.

"I heard no. On the grassland, Marquis Shenwu sent troops in two directions, and they have already gained the upper hand. General Yue Yun has even captured Wuhuan Shanyu Tadun. I am a big man. In front of Marquis Shenwu, he will definitely be vulnerable."

"I said at the beginning that the Marquis of Shenwu was so brave that he dared to send troops into the grassland, so he was confident. Now it seems that this is true. Marquis of Shenwu has won many battles and has almost no defeat. If Marquis of Shenwu can come back, the Yellow Turban will definitely not be able to." So arrogant."

"Shenwuhou is really my No.1 general! I only hope that Shenwuhou can come back soon, otherwise, he will come back late, and I'm afraid it will be too late."

"In front of the foreign enemy, Marquis Shenwu bravely met the enemy. Now that the yellow scarves broke out in the big man, we still have to count on Marquis Shenwu. From this point of view, the generals in the court are not worthy of Marquis Shenwu's shoes. I hope Marquis Shenwu will return to the big man soon. !"

……

In the streets and alleys of Luoyang, the people talked a lot, but contrary to the previous state of worry, the people were excited and expectant.

As the people of the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, almost all of them are masters.

It is different from the displaced people outside.

They prefer peace.

Having encountered the Yellow Turbans attacking Luoyang, they hope that the officers and soldiers can wipe out the Yellow Turbans.

……

The imperial palace, Changle Palace.

"Good news, empress, good news, good news from the grassland."

Surprised and excited voices sounded outside the palace.

Inside the hall.

Dressed in tulle, with a graceful figure, the charming figure of a beautiful young woman, with curvy and graceful legs and long legs, Empress He was stunned for a moment, and her exquisite face instantly revealed a look of surprise.

Similarly, in the hall, sitting and standing in an orderly manner, holding a piece of bamboo slips in his hands, like a royal nobleman, with a wind of king lingering, little Liu Lin, who was studying seriously, also turned his head suddenly.

Under the gaze of Queen He Lian and Xiao Liulin.

The queen's personal maid came in with small steps and said happily:
"Empress, Marquis Shenwu led the army to be invincible on the grassland, and now he is on the verge of victory. His Majesty has issued an urgent order to ask Marquis Shenwu to return to the Han to destroy the Yellow Turbans."

"Invincible, great victory!" Hearing the maid's report, Queen He Lian and Little Liu Lin's eyes brightened instantly.

"My mother, Yu's father is really brave and good at fighting. He not only defeated the grassland, but also came back to destroy the Yellow Turbans. Lin'er will also lead the army to fight like Yu's father in the future!"

Little Liu Lin's immature face was full of admiration.

Another few months passed, and little Liu Lin became taller, his temperament became better, and his face looked like a porcelain doll.

"Yeah, your father Yu is so powerful. He flattened the grasslands and fought against the Yellow Turban. If your father Yu wasn't here, I'm afraid this big man would be in great trouble. I hope your father Yu will come back soon. How long have you been away from Luoyang..." Empress He Lian murmured thinking of the heroic and handsome Liu Yu, her legs were soft and her beautiful eyes were shining brightly.

At this moment, although they have not met each other, Empress He Lian misses Liu Yu very much...

……

Shenwuhou Mansion.

outside the gate.

Several rows of giant shark guards stood guard with huge knives in their hands. Everyone grinned and smiled, looking very excited.

in the hall.

Mrs. Du, Meiren Feng, Mrs. Zou, Mrs. Yang Huaner, Mrs. Fan, Mrs. Bian, Mrs. Cai and other Yingying Yanyan gathered together, chatting in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

"Your Majesty was able to besieged by hundreds of thousands of grassland cavalry, and still have the potential to win a comprehensive victory. You are so powerful. I heard that the yellow scarves everywhere are unstoppable. His Majesty has already ordered him to return to the big man."

"Yes, yes, Master Hou is really powerful. He can't help but be extremely handsome, and he is also brave and good at fighting. The whole man must count on Master Hou."

"Seeing Sister Feng's happy smile, I didn't know who was crying the most."

"Sister Du, you are making fun of me. See if I don't use the dragon claws taught by Master Hou to grab you."

"Ah, Sister Feng, where are you grabbing, stop laughing at you, stop laughing at you, stop now..."

……

In the hall of the Marquis of Shenwu's Mansion, there were laughter and laughter, and there were endless sounds of playing and fighting, but seeing Feng Meiren, Mrs. Zou, Yang Huan'er, and Mrs. Fan stopped crying and worrying about Liu Yu, on the contrary, they were all looking forward with joy.

Glad to have such a strong husband.

Looking forward to Liu Yu's early return to the big man, happy scene.

……

Luoyang, Caifu.

back yard.

"Miss, Marquis Shenwu is so powerful that there is a good news from the grassland."

The little maid rushed over anxiously, and the baby granary was bumped up and down.

In the pavilion, Cai Yan, who holds a book in one hand, is naturally beautiful and has a gentle temperament, has extraordinary beauty and extraordinary eyes, shining like stars.

……

The news of Liu Yu on the grassland came back, and the whole Luoyang was full of laughter.

The people look forward to it.

People related to Liu Yu are excited and excited.

Of course, this day is destined to make them restless for the top families in Luoyang City.

But it was because of the establishment of the state pastor.

As this matter came out.

In Luoyang City, all the aristocratic families were shocked and took action.

The top aristocratic family convened the smaller aristocratic families to discuss matters.

The small aristocratic family scrambled to be the first to cling, and showed their loyalty.

Moreover, he directly stated that he would support and support him with all his family's strength.

The top aristocratic family has received a lot of support, and while they are happy, they have made many preparations.

Just like the Yuan family, four generations and three princes, disciples and old officials all over the world, with a single call, a large number of small families will cling to them, not to mention, they have deeply cultivated Yuzhou and Yanzhou, even Jizhou and Qingzhou have disciples, and they can also intervene.

In order not to attract attention and make Liu Hong jealous, although the top aristocratic families like the Yuan family were also competing for the position of state shepherd, they also pushed out other people who were vassals of the Yuan family to compete for the state shepherd.

But he did a lot of preparations.

For a whole day, there was an endless stream of people going to Tong Guan's office to register.

That night.

The palace, the main hall, are brightly lit.

Liu Hong, Tong Guan, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, He Jin and others gathered.

A huge map of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty hangs in front of the hall.

Liu Hong looked at the map of the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, but his face was ugly.

Divided state pastoral.

At this moment, Liu Hong seemed to feel that these states were leaving him.

"Your Majesty, this old guy Yuan Feng obviously has no good intentions. He clearly wants to fight for the Yuan family's position as state shepherd and strengthen the power of the family."

Zhang Rang said angrily when he saw Liu Hong staring at the map with a gloomy expression.

Zhang Rang was indeed a little angry, not only Zhang Rang, but even Zhao Zhong and other regular servants were very upset.

But it was because a large number of aristocratic families competed for the position of state shepherd.

Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other ten permanent servants also want to fight for it.

But he was surprised to find that his family's vassal power was too useless.

Usually, he only cares about food and cards, oppresses the village, and the people and aristocratic families hate him. How can he get support from aristocratic families and get soldiers and horses.

Undoubtedly, they missed out on this competition for the position of state shepherd.

They can't occupy it, but they are jealous that these top families can carve up the state shepherd's position.

Zhang Rang's words reached Liu Hong's ears, but did not arouse Liu Hong's sympathy. On the contrary, Liu Hong was instantly furious, turned his head, and said angrily to Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong:
"Of course I know that this old Yuan Feng has no good intentions, and I also know that the Yuan family wants to compete for the state shepherd's position and want to strengthen the power of the family, but what about me?"

"A bunch of trash, they only care about oppressing the village, and don't know how to win over the gentry and nobles. Even if I want to give you the state shepherd, I can't do anything about it. At critical moments, it's useless to stand up and speak out. Get the hell out of here!"

Liu Hong was furious, and spread his anger on Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong. Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were startled and knelt down and said:

"Your Majesty, the old minister didn't know what would happen today."

"Get off!" Liu Hong said coldly.

"No!" Seeing Liu Hong's indifferent expression, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong immediately understood that Liu Hong didn't want to see themselves and others, so they hurriedly retreated trembling all over.

Seeing Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong being kicked out, Tong Guan raised his mouth slightly.

After Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong left, only Liu Hong, Tong Guan and He Jin were left in the hall.

Liu Hong, whose face was still ugly, was filled with the majesty of the emperor. Looking at the map, Liu Hong suddenly asked in a deep voice:
"General, your hometown is Nanyang. If I hand over Jingzhou to your He family, are you confident that you can raise [-] troops in Jingzhou in a short time?"

He Jin listened to Liu Hong's words, his plump body shook, both pleasantly surprised and helpless, with a mournful expression on his face and said:

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the minister's hometown is indeed Nanyang. In Nanyang County, I really have some influence, but now Nanyang County has been attacked by the Yellow Turban, and the remaining seven counties in Jingzhou, I... I am not familiar with."

He Jin looked at Liu Hong tremblingly and said, but he was afraid that Liu Hong would drive him out too.

"Trash, you are a great general, Jingzhou has no influence on how you are a relative of the emperor." Liu Hong snorted again, obviously very dissatisfied with He Jin's poor performance.

However, they didn't drive them out like they did to Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong before.

This made He Jin breathe a sigh of relief.

but.

He Jin felt helpless.

Regardless of the prosperity of the He family, He Lian was the queen, and gave birth to the eldest prince and the young prince, and He Jin became a general again.

However, the He family is not like the Yuan family and the Yang family, which have been cultivated for decades and hundreds of years.

The He family's accumulation is still too shallow.

"You said, is it true that I really want to hand over all the states in the world to these ambitious families?"

Liu Hong's unwilling voice sounded.

He Jin and Tong Guan looked at each other, looking at Liu Hong who was very unwilling, but they understood Liu Hong's mood at the moment.

Since Yuan Feng dared to make such a suggestion to the court, he undoubtedly had a well-thought-out plan.

In fact, it was exactly like this. Now that the Yellow Turban is so powerful, I am afraid that this is the only way to obtain family members, trilogy, food, and soldiers from the aristocratic family.

Tong Guan's eyes flickered, and he cupped his hands and said to Liu Hong:
"Your Majesty, in fact, what Yuan Feng said is true, that is, His Majesty can choose the shepherds of all states."

"Since your majesty is afraid of these aristocratic families becoming bigger, why not send some loyal and capable Han clan clansmen to serve as state shepherds, so as to use the power of the Han clan clans to check and balance the power of the clans."

"Actually, to fight against the Yellow Turbans, it is not necessary for all states and counties to send aristocratic families to serve as state shepherds. Even if there are several states, they can pull out nearly [-] troops, which is enough to persist until Marquis Shenwu leads the troops back to the Han Dynasty."

Tong Guan's voice resounded, making Liu Hong and He Jin brighten up.

He Jin hurriedly cheered up Liu Hong:
"Your Majesty, what Tong Changshi said is right. You can't let the aristocratic family grow bigger and occupy the states. Then use the clan members of the Han family as state shepherds to check and balance the aristocratic family."

"Didn't you say that Wang Wu, the general under the command of Marquis Shenwu, said that if Marquis Shenwu could serve as Jizhou Mu, Xuzhou Mu, Yangzhou Mu, Jingzhou Mu, and Yizhou Wuzhou Muzhou, even if Shenwuhou didn't need to come forward, only the president of Qiangsheng Chamber of Commerce Liu And if you come forward, you can unite with the local aristocratic family to send out a hundred thousand troops for your majesty, in my opinion, if you don't want to, you can make the Marquis of Wuzhou the prefect of the five states."

He Jin's joyful voice resounded in the hall, but He Jin did not hesitate to say good things for Liu Yu.

Liu Yu is the adoptive father of the little prince Liu Lin, and he has saved the queen's life. In addition, He Jin has a good relationship with Liu Yu, but He Jin hopes that the stronger Liu Yu is, the better.

In the main hall, as soon as He Jin's words came out, Tong Guan's eyelids twitched and he hurriedly looked at Liu Hong.

However, following He Jin's voice, Liu Hong frowned immediately, and then reprimanded He Jin:
"Nonsense, sealing the state shepherd is a trifling matter. If you seal the state shepherd, the state shepherd will have a close relationship with the aristocratic family in the state. The state shepherd owes too much to the local aristocratic family, and the imperial court should not dismiss it easily. Isn't it nonsense to say that the god Wuhou is the state herd of Wuzhou?"

Liu Hong reprimanded, but he did not hesitate to reject Liu Yu's words as the governor of Wuzhou.

The state herdsmen of the five prefectures occupied almost half of the imperial court, if they were all in the hands of one person, Liu Hong would not be stupid, he would naturally resist from the bottom of his heart.

Tong Guan saw Liu Hong's attitude and said:

"The position of state shepherd is a matter of great importance. I am afraid that even the courtiers of the state shepherds of the five states will not be willing. So what does your majesty mean?"

Listening to Tong Guan's question, Liu Hong narrowed his eyes, looked at the map of the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, and said:
"The clan of the Han family must occupy half of the Han Dynasty, and the Marquis of Shenwu will shock the world, and the remaining half should be handed over to the aristocratic family as the state shepherd to pull up the army."

When Liu Hong's voice fell, Tong Guan's eyelids twitched, but he looked at Liu Hong with some trepidation.

The clan of the Han family occupies half of the Han Dynasty, and the remaining half of the state pastors are handed over to the aristocratic family as the state pastor to pull up the army. Liu Yu shocked the world. This balance is absolutely in place. pattern.

"Your Majesty is highly resourceful." Tong Guan clapped his hands in praise, but he remained calm.

At this time, He Jin couldn't bear it any longer, and said:
"Then, does your Majesty want to make Marquis Wu the state shepherd of which state?"

When He Jin asked, Tong Guan looked at Liu Hong again, but secretly praised He Jin for being a good helper.

He Jin's question was very lacking in political accomplishment, which made Liu Hong frown, and looked at He Jin rather displeased, but he also understood that the He family and Liu Yu had a good relationship, and he agreed with this point.

Liu Hong glanced at the Hetao Plain, then at the vast grassland, raised his eyebrows slightly, and finally shook his head and said:

"Marquis Shenwu is quite powerful. If he wins the attack on the grassland this time, his power will be even greater. Besides, the Qiangsheng Chamber of Commerce has a deep relationship with the wealthy families in Jizhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and Yizhou. Let Marquis Shenwu be the shepherd of these states. , I’m afraid it’s not good for Marquis Shenwu, Marquis Shenwu should stop being the state shepherd.”

Liu Hong spoke slowly, but unexpectedly rejected Liu Yu as state shepherd.

In the main hall, He Jin was disappointed when he heard that Liu Hong did not choose Liu Yu as the state shepherd, but he didn't think too much about it.

However, Tong Guan's pupils contracted when he heard Liu Hong's words.

Wang Wu said that Liu Yu has a deep relationship with the noble families of Jizhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and Yizhou, and Liu Hong is jealous again! !

And it is also excluded from the ranks of the state animal husbandry division this time!

Tong Guan knew Liu Hong's attitude towards Liu Yu, but on the other hand, he was secretly anxious. He didn't want to see Liu Yu's share among the aristocratic families dividing up the prefectures.

Tong Guan turned his eyes slightly, and said to Liu Hong:
"Your Majesty, I feel that there is something wrong with not being named Shenwu Houzhou Mu, my servant."

"Huh?" Liu Hong frowned when he heard Tong Guan's words, glanced at Tong Guan, and asked, "Why?"

Tong Guan did not hesitate and said:

"Your Majesty, Marquis Shenwu's victory over the grassland in this battle is an unworldly feat. If he returns to the Han with a great victory and flattens the grassland again, this is another unworldly feat. However, other Han clansmen, other aristocratic families Everyone is enfeoffed as state shepherd, but Shenwuhou is not enfeoffed as state shepherd, for fear that Shenwuhou will feel uncomfortable."

"Even, His Majesty said that he still expects Marquis Shenwu to shock the world, so I feel that it would be inappropriate if I don't confer Marquis Shenwu as Zhou Mu."

"My servant thinks that not only should I confer the title of Marquis Shenwu, but also not only one, but two prefects, so as to show His Majesty's love for Marquis Shenwu."

"Of course, His Majesty also said that he was worried that Marquis Shenwu would be too powerful, so these two prefectures cannot be the five prefectures of Jizhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and Yizhou."

Although Liu Hong didn't want to admit Tong Guan's words, Liu Hong felt that it made sense. However, Liu Hong frowned again, and said:
"If you don't seal the five states, Tong Guan, which two states do you think should be sealed as Marquis Wu?"

Tong Guan's spirit was shocked, and he immediately knew that Liu Hong agreed with his statement, and he was excited to earn two states for Liu Yu. Tong Guan's eyes flickered slightly. Under Liu Hong's gaze, he pointed to the two states on the Dahan map, and said:
"Your Majesty, these two prefectures were handed over to Marquis Shenwu. The slaves thought it was appropriate, and they would satisfy both Marquis Shenwu and His Majesty."

Seeing the two states Tong Guan pointed at, Liu Hong looked at them for a while, and soon, Liu Hong's eyes brightened, and he couldn't help saying:

"Okay, these two states are just right, so let's grant these two states to Marquis Shenwu."

"Shen Wuhou's decision is made, and the rest of the states need to send clan children and family members to take charge. Tong Guan, bring the things you counted today. I want to see how powerful these families can be..."

"promise!"
