Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 269 Seeing this prosperous world ten years later

How long is ten years?
It's not long, it's not long, it's not short.Time flies, but Liu Bian, the eldest son of the emperor, who once served as the governor of Bohai and was named the king of Bohai, finally ascended the throne smoothly, gradually grew up, and finally grew into a veritable emperor, realized the revival of the Han Dynasty, and finally The Han Dynasty entered a period of prosperity...

Well, the above is what the common people say about Liu Bian.

In fact, there is a slight difference.

In the large and bright Bohai Palace, Liu Bianhuo became his father-in-law. In the past, the young emperor, wearing a crown and a black crown, was sitting upright as usual, sitting in front of the desk, not seriously. Review the memorial.

The current Supreme Emperor Liu Hong, the previous emperor of the Han Dynasty, had woken up four years ago. He was not dead, but still alive, but he could only lie on the bed forever, always weak.

When the Supreme Emperor Liu Hong woke up, he learned that Luoyang was no longer the capital of the Han Dynasty. His eldest son Liu Bian succeeded to the throne and actually moved the capital and designated Nanpi City as the capital... Well, whether he was angry or happy, Liu Bian was not interested. Yes.

Anyway, the Supreme Emperor Liu Hong, the Empress Dowager He and the Empress Dowager Dong, together with Dong Hou Liu Xie, the famous doctor Zeng Aniu, He Jin who was providing for the elderly, and a number of servants and maids, lived together in the relatively glorious Luoyang Palace, and they had no worries about food and drink. That's enough.

Even if the Supreme Emperor Liu Hong pieced it all together, he learned from everyone's mouths the various measures and decrees of His Majesty the current emperor, such as tax exemptions for three years, encouraging childbirth within five years, additional subsidies, and the same stone scripture engraved in Nanpi Xindu, named "Guangxi Stone Scripture", established "Nanpi Academy" as the best academy in the world, and recruited students regardless of poor families... This gave the Han Dynasty a completely new look, and it was called a prosperous age!

Perhaps the Supreme Emperor Liu Hong would regret his unintentional comment that "I look at this son, he is frivolous and has no dignity, and cannot be the master of others." But this will no longer cause Liu Bian's heart to stir up waves.

He had long forgotten the indifference of family affection to his elders, and only hoped that the elders could live in peace and contentment in Luoyang Palace. He would remember to write letters regularly to express his homesickness.

He is very busy.

In ten years, he has become a "reading master". He has learned how to find fun in reviewing memorials: he took a document, opened it, and browsed it quickly. If he found something that suited his appetite, Yes, those with extraordinary literary talent will definitely show a smile and write "pass".

On the contrary, he would curl his lips, say "reject", and throw it into a corner, waiting for the eunuch to sort it out, and then pile it up in a corner. The next day, he would take it to the main hall for the entertainment of his ministers.

Therefore, in order not to be laughed at, the ministers are really bald: every time they write a memorial, the ministers will think carefully, make reasonable suggestions, put an end to following the crowd and mindless flattery, and do practical things in a down-to-earth manner.

After all, the writing is not good enough, and you can still pass the test by relying on quality. If you make unreasonable troubles, such as secretly reporting that the cavalry general Cao Cao has a side room again, he almost runs away from the main room in anger, which damages the image of the Han Dynasty officials. Don't you see, your majesty only has one? A queen? ...asking to be deposed as a warning to others, or the Cavalry General Yuan Shao allowed his evil servant to take advantage of the situation and prey on the people, so he must be severely punished, but the evil servant came from the Yuan family, and Yuan Shao had long drawn a clear line with him——

In short, you must stop staring at the backyard of those important ministers to cause trouble. Otherwise, it would be better to be ignored by His Majesty. If he is afraid that on a whim, he will name and praise you in front of the civil and military officials of the court, that will really kill the society.

The eunuch looked at his majesty silently, and soon he stopped looking at him and waited there respectfully.

As for the official who was finally willing to look away, Liu Bian also raised his forehead and took a rare break. He couldn't help but think of a past incident: It seems that he was still defeated by reality——

Originally, when the father was in office, he reused eunuchs and granted them real power... Of course, this was used to counter the ministers from aristocratic families and powerful families in the court, and to add relatives of the prince's family, in order to achieve a balance of power.However, before Liu Bian ascended the throne, his uncle He Jin, the former general, set out to eradicate all the eunuchs.

Xitan's country can't live without a king for a day, and the palace can't lack eunuchs and maids.

And being served by eunuchs and maids was one of the standard features of the emperor.

Therefore, after he ascended the throne, he had to select a group of eunuchs and maids again, even if he reduced the number as much as possible.

And because of the lessons learned from the previous emperor, he will never give any power to the eunuchs from now on.

The role of eunuchs was solely to serve as the emperor's servants, collecting documents and conveying edicts for him until death.Anything else is gone. Anyway, he is determined not to be influenced by the other party, and he will not allow the other party to control documents, military power, etc., let alone even think about it!

Precisely because he regarded eunuchs as trivial matters, he did not want to remember their names at all.

Therefore, even if the eunuch originally had a name, he remembered it as "Who is the eunuch?"

...Okay, occasionally he will call out the other person's name.

But it is not important.

The important thing is: now that the threat of eunuchs has been resolved, what about the local powerful and aristocratic families?
It’s just a noble family, powerful people really need to be careful.

Ever since, Liu Bian immediately tried——

He still clearly remembered the day when he announced his decision to the ministers: taking advantage of the momentum of amnesty and the reason for withdrawing the "state pastoral appointment", he would limit the military strength of each state and county, starting with Jizhou!
Then, a turbulent "operation" began: there were about nine counties and cities in Jizhou, excluding Bohai County. Liu Bian sent eight people, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi, to lead thousands of people. The rest of the army went to the designated destination and patrolled for him which county or city where the number of troops exceeded the specified number.

Then, we will launch a key attack on the trespassing counties and cities. We will first arrest the ringleaders, and then find the local aristocratic families or powerful people. We will then decide whether to charge them with "covering up" and take the opportunity to release them based on whether they are aware of their actions and whether they are willing to cooperate. Tenant farmers, return their fields, and allocate houses——

This series of familiar processes made Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were no strangers to it, very calm, but for Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi, it was extremely novel.

Okay!

Huangfusong and Lu Zhi did not reject it.

On the contrary, Huangfusong and Lu Zhi thought this was a good move.

When Jizhou was like a farmland, it was completely turned upside down, so that the aristocratic families and powerful people in Jizhou were greatly damaged. On the outside, they looked deserted and helpless, but they won the support of all the people of Jizhou.

nonsense!

For no reason, the land was no longer occupied by aristocratic families and powerful men, and the land and house that originally belonged to him were obtained. Who would be unhappy if he replaced them? ——Of course, the aristocratic family or powerful person who was hit will not be happy, but the other party has no power to fight back!
By the way: The suppression was probably too harsh, and Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei and others who had confiscated the mansions of aristocratic families or powerful people were more or less retaliated against!
Assassins [-] had attempted assassinations, but they all failed. They were either killed or imprisoned and reduced to hard labor. They also contributed a little bit to the development of Jizhou.

And many people in Jizhou, who had a foothold, also took advantage of the good climate to actively farm.

At the same time, the number of traders also increased, and they came and went frequently. All kinds of fresh and interesting goods, such as fruits, porcelain, tea, silk, and exquisite jewelry, appeared one after another, adding a bright style to Jizhou's economy.

Of course, during this period, we must also ensure the security of all counties and cities to prevent the resurgence of yellow turban thieves and gangsters.

It doesn't matter if the yellow turban thieves and gangsters start to appear again!Liu Bian has Zhang Yan at his disposal.

Although Zhang Yan acted very low-key after becoming a marquis, this did not prevent Zhang Yan from continuing to go further and further on the road of recruiting the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers - as long as Liu Bian said a word, Zhang Yan would be willing to help!

Building roads, digging rivers, building academies, especially the establishment of a branch of "Nanpi Academy", building new houses, opening paper mills, utensil mills, opening up wasteland for planting, etc... When Jizhou entered a relatively stable period of recovery, Liu Bian wrote a paper The edict first appointed various county governors or county magistrates in Jizhou, took office, and warned the officials not to recruit troops at will.

Then Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Zhao and others were sent to the next state, "Bingzhou", and got in touch with Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, to work together to do a comprehensive farming of Bingzhou.

Just like this, Liu Bian sent Cao Cao and others to clean up one state after another. It took a full six years to clean up most of the thirteen states, except for the remote areas of Yizhou, Liangzhou and Youzhou. In the prefecture, because there are Yi people living together, it needs to be solved separately depending on the situation.

Not to mention that Dong Zhuo of Liangzhou, with his generals Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Duan Xuan, Xu Rong, Hu Zhen and others, as well as counselors Li Ru and Jia Xu, is leading the troops to fight against the Yi people tenaciously, and once even entered the Western Regions. It is said that during this period, a great general was born in Liangzhou, nicknamed "Jin Ma Chao"!In addition, Yizhou would like to highlight:
At the beginning, Liu Yan, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, saw that the world was in chaos and wanted to find a place to live and establish a separate state. He therefore asked the court for the title of Yizhou Shepherd, the title of Marquis of Yangcheng, and the policy of "appointment of State Shepherd" that was most troublesome for Liu Bian. ...In short, although Liu Yan occupied Yizhou as he wished, it only lasted a few years, and he died six years ago due to an outbreak of back sores.

If there are no accidents, his son will succeed Yizhou Mu, leaving Yizhou in a semi-independent state.

Naihe met Liu Bian.

After Liu Yan unfortunately died of illness in Yizhou Prefecture, Liu Bian decisively sent Cao Cao and others to Yizhou to "cultivate the land" and stopped appointing new Yizhou shepherds at all.

In this way, the "State Pastoral Appointment" has come to an end, and it has officially come to an end.

In the process of cultivating land in one state after another, Liu Bian also made certain concessions: Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were both from aristocratic families, and were children of the Yuan family in Nanyang, and the Yuan family had always settled in Yuzhou... No!
It should be said that most of the counselors, wizards, celebrities and other talents are from Yuzhou.Therefore, when Yuzhou was "cultivated", the aristocratic families or powerful people all learned well, cooperated obediently, released the tenant farmers, and did whatever they were told to do, ensuring that the family's inheritance would not be interrupted to the greatest extent——

Therefore, unless the aristocratic families and powerful people in Yuzhou are determined to fight against Liu Bian, it is really difficult for Liu Bian to weaken the opponent: the other party has handed over the tenant farmers, returned the fields, dismissed the redundant retainers, and even dispersed the wealth. How about you? What do you want?

Don't forget that there is Qiao County in Peiguo in Yuzhou, which is still the territory of the Cao and Xiahou families.

Right, right!The miracle doctor Hua Tuo also settled in Peiguoqiao County.

Another miracle doctor, Zhang Ji, lived in Nanyang and could be regarded as a fellow villager of Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu.

... Lin Linzongzong, for the sake of his large network of connections, as long as the aristocratic families or powerful people in Yuzhou are willing to cooperate, take the initiative to show weakness, and be loyal to the Han Dynasty, Liu Bian will turn a blind eye and close one eye, as long as he does not violate the rules. .

However, even if Liu Bian graciously spared Yuzhou's aristocratic families or powerful people, Yuan Shao still had a falling out with the family and was kicked out of the Yuan family's genealogy.The specific reasons seem to be:

The fourth generation and the third prince of the Yuan family were very prominent, and they did not take the emperor seriously... Although this matter was only an internal opinion reached within the family, the Yuan family's superficial skills were in place and they did not do anything out of the ordinary.

However, as the aristocratic families and powerful men in one state after another were eliminated, the Yuan family could no longer sit still. They were reluctant to part with their reputation and possessions, so they sent people to privately inform Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, hoping that the other party would show mercy.

Yuan Shu agreed.

Yuan Shao did not respond.

Yuan Shao suddenly showed off his cards and announced the matter to the public. He also said that official matters should be handled openly and there would be no favoritism.

As a result, my family was pissed off.

After the land was cultivated in Yuzhou, Yuan Shao was officially removed from the family.

"His Majesty!"

In Liu Bian's ears, the eunuch's cautious voice came, shouting:
"Zhuge Jin, General of the Left, wants to see you!"

After calming down, Liu Bian came back to his senses, suddenly remembered something, smiled slightly, and said with a smile: "That's right!"

Liu Bian straightened his posture and looked at Zhuge Jin with a smile.

But seeing that Zhuge Jin looked dignified and elegant ten years later, he first saluted Liu Bian, then stood up, and said with joy on his face:
“Your Majesty, the test results of Nanpi Academy are out. Have you seen A Liang’s results? "

Liu Bian blinked and sighed subtly that "Nanpi Academy" indeed has a ten-year academic system, and it happened that the graduation exam was held not long ago... He couldn't help but ask, "Have you seen it?"

Zhuge Jin seemed to have remembered something and responded with a smile in his eyes: "I see! A Liang won the "No. [-] Scholar in Liberal Arts". "

Liu Bian nodded, his ears slightly red. If he hadn't taken his own image into consideration, he would have really wanted to look up at the sky... Well, this is so embarrassing.

After all, exams shouldn't have appeared in this era, at least it would have to be postponed for hundreds of years, not to mention that he differentiated the top three places in the national exam results according to "No. [-]", "No. [-]" and "Tanhua"...

He admitted that he had borrowed the name of rankings from later generations, but he had vigorously popularized paper and examinations, so if he borrowed the title of rankings from later generations, it didn't matter?
It doesn’t matter if it has anything to do with it!He is the emperor, he is the greatest, he has the final say in his territory, no one can blame him!

"A-Liang should be happy now." I heard Zhuge Jin say in a proud tone, "A-Liang often complained that if he were not too young, he would have entered the court long ago, why would he have to wait ten years? What's more..."

"What's more, Uncle Liu also visits Mr. Zhuge Liang from time to time, right?" Liu Bian's eyes curled up, indicating something.

As soon as he finished speaking, another eunuch was heard saying outside the door: "Your Majesty, Uncle Liu and General Guan and General Zhang are asking for an audience!"

"Please come in quickly." Liu Bian said.

Then he saw the wind blowing under Liu Bei's feet, and he hurried over with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, saying: "Your Majesty, I heard that Mr. Zhuge Xiao passed the Chinese liberal arts exam, is this happening?... Great!

His Majesty!Now you can no longer stop me from leading the Northern Expedition!The Yi tribe has made a comeback and committed an offense against our great Han. The crime cannot be punished. I will definitely return victorious from this battle! "

Looking at Liu Huangshu Bei who was getting more and more energetic, Liu Bian said calmly: "Yes, you can, but you can't just kill or bury them. After repelling the Yi tribe, you have to send people to stay there for a long time to clean up the situation." manage!This matter must be left to Zhuge Liang. If you agree, I..."

"Your Majesty!" Zhuge Jin said with a dark face, "My second brother has not yet reached the crown, is it too early to say this?"

Liu Bian smiled and said, "I don't care about the matter. If you are dissatisfied, just talk to the emperor."

Zhuge Jin bowed his hands to Liu Bian and said, "Your Majesty, please allow Ziyu to retire."

As he said that, Zhuge Jin suddenly turned his head, stared at Liu Bei, and bared his teeth and said: "Uncle Liu Huang, Uncle Liu Huang, Ziyu has something on his mind and wants to talk to you. Can you go out and talk?"

Liu Bei cleared his throat and wanted to defend himself, but was led away by Zhuge Jin who was half threatening and half inviting.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not forget to salute, surrendered to Liu Bian, and followed Liu Bei to the left and right.

Watching several people leave, Liu Bian sighed. Before he could say anything, he saw another palace maid approaching and saluted: "Your Majesty, the queen has taken care of everything. I would like to ask your majesty when will you go to Nanpi Academy to pick up the prince?" "

Liu Bian touched his nose and suddenly felt a toothache, and sighed: "Now! Go back and tell Empress Tang to wait for me at the palace gate first."

"Here." The palace maid stepped back.

Liu Bian, on the other hand, stood up slowly, worried about his son having to enter school early, and at the same time worried about his son's future performance - his son is small but has big ambitions. A few days ago, he learned that Zhuge Liang was the top student in liberal arts in high school, and he threatened to become the top student in liberal arts in ten years. , you need to be the number one scholar in both subjects, that is, be good at both civil and military subjects, and be the first in both civil and military subjects!

Wake up, son!As a father, I have never given this comprehensive examination.The boy born to Hu Amei, the daughter of the imperial cook next door, and Hu Niuzhuang is obviously more qualified than you to be the top martial arts scholar. Don’t lose to him in martial arts!
Liu Bian was troubled for a while, and then he laughed again: It was said that half a year after he ascended the throne, he made Tang's female minister the queen, more than a year later, he proposed to be a father, and three years later, he made the prince, and now he is the queen of Tang and pregnant. , he is about to have a second child... What about his two sworn brothers, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu?
The sworn brothers Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are still...unmarried.

Fortunately, six months ago, after Sun Ce and Zhou Yu helped him pacify the aristocratic families and powerful people in Jiangdong, they also ushered in love: Sun Ce sent a message saying that he had fallen in love with a beauty named Da Qiao two months ago and wanted to take her as his concubine. .

It just so happens that Da Qiao has another beautiful sister named Xiao Qiao, who is also in love with her sworn brother Zhou Yu.

As a result, the two sworn brothers decided to marry the two sisters together. They had been planning the wedding for nearly a year and asked him when he would visit.

At this moment, Liu Bian made a calculation: Oh~ according to the process, it should be fast.

Very good!
At that time, he paid a private visit incognito, sneaked out of the palace quietly, and attended the wedding of his sworn brothers. I heard that it was held in Pengcheng. He happened to be able to see the mountains and rivers in the south. It should be similar to the north, and it was a peaceful world?

I heard that there are many rivers in the south and the beauties in the south are so gentle... Ahem~ He quickly gave up the unnecessary thoughts and focused on taking his son back to the palace with Queen Tang.

Today, the generous life of his children is much better than his.

A prosperous age?Does it mean that everyone can live in peace and stability?
He smiled.

--gone!
　Finished~~Spread flowers! ~~
　　starting point! !My biggest impression of you is: you cured my problem of double writing. I vowed to write single writing in the future, unless I don’t write at the same time... Ahem~ Well, let me briefly talk about my final thoughts: I originally thought I could write A million words, but I overestimated myself!At the end of writing, I became lazy and even ignored a few plots. For example, after the appointment of state pastor was withdrawn, Dong Zhuo did not raise troops to the capital, and no princes attacked Dong Zhuo.As a result, a series of counselors such as Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai and others were all in vain!Yuan Shao plays the protagonist, and his heart is towards the Han Dynasty. It seems that the character design was accidentally broken. The most troublesome thing is that Zhuge Liang, whom I admire, is still a kid. He can only study hard and make progress every day!In short, thousands of words can be condensed into one sentence: It’s over, let’s spread the flowers! !I have written everything I should write, although many details have been left out in one stroke.Happy ending!
