Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 166 Jiaozhi Prefect Shi Xie
"Combining work and rest is the long-term way, and you need to be careful in your life." Liu Zhang advised Peng Yi and asked him to pay attention to rest, so that he can go far in the long run.

After warning Peng Yi, Liu Zhang couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart. The group of civil and military talents he recruited were a little too diligent in doing things.Not to mention Peng Yi, who was working day and night, but the generals such as Gan Ning, Wu Yi, Shen Mi, Lou Fa, etc., all seemed to have endless energy in their bodies. This battle in Nanzhong , the generals under his command fought tirelessly and fought thousands of miles for him, and made great contributions to the pacification of Nanzhong.

This is also the reason why Nanzhong was pacified so easily. On the one hand, the thieves in Nanzhong all had different intentions and could not confide in each other. They joined hands to fight against Liu Zhang and ended up being defeated by Liu Zhang one by one. But on the other hand, it was also a more important one. On the one hand, Liu Zhang's civil and military officials are united, harmonious, diligent, and work tirelessly for Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang analyzed this situation based on the characteristics of the times and came up with a rough result.He guessed that it was because when he recruited these people, he did not ask about their origins, but only based on their talents when appointing them. The official positions he gave far exceeded these people's expectations.However, the spirit of the Spring and Autumn Period remained unabated among the scholars of the Han Dynasty. "A scholar will die for his confidant" can be called a golden rule, which was very important in the hearts of the scholars, so they had civil and military affairs under his command and forgot about their own work for him.

'The scholars of the Han Dynasty were somewhat honest and lovely. 'Liu Zhang sighed in his heart.

"Thank you Ming Gong." Faced with Liu Zhang's caring words, Peng Yi thanked him again, and then he asked Zhang Yi: "I don't know why Ming Gong sent Zhang Yi to the Jiaozhi Governor's Office."

Peng Yi had some questions in his mind. At the same time, he wanted to find some topics to chat with Liu Zhang to pass the slightly boring journey, so he asked about Zhang Yi's whereabouts.Earlier, Liu Zhang killed the rebellious Yi King Gao Yuan and the Yong family in Qiongdu. After arriving at Dian Lake, he sent Zhang Yi, a man with a calabash, to the Jiaozhi Governor's Department. He did not know the specific situation, so he simply I brought up this topic and wanted to ask for clarification.

Liu Zhang raised his eyebrows and smiled on his face: "Zhang Jun went to the Jiaozhi Governor's Department to visit Shixie, the prefect of Jiaozhi, on my behalf to find two miraculous elixirs."

Peng Yi frowned slightly. The words "miracle medicine" reminded him of Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng, who repeatedly sent the alchemist Xu Fu to take boys and girls into the sea on tower boats in order to seek immortality. In the end, he found nothing.

Peng Yi was a little confused. He was just in his youth, so how could he have the idea of ​​seeking immortality? Moreover, he and Liu Zhang had been getting along for a while, and he noticed that Liu Zhang had a broad mind and did not seem like someone who would be confused about the way to immortality. He wondered He asked: "Duke Ming wanted to ask for the way to immortality, so he sent Zhang Yi to the Jiaozhi Governor's Department to ask for the elusive elixir of immortality."

"No, you should go to the East China Sea to seek fairy medicine. Penglai, Fangzhang and other fairy islands are rumored to be in the East China Sea. I have never heard of any fairy islands in the South China Sea or any immortals." Peng Yi shook his head after the previous question. rejected his own inference.

"These two miraculous medicines are not for immortality, but for healing all people. If we have these two miraculous medicines, all the people in the world can be saved from hunger and cold." Liu Zhang made a riddle without telling his true intention.

"If Zhang Jun comes back, you will know it by then. You can't say it now, otherwise it won't work." Liu Zhang said narrow words and blocked Peng Yi who wanted to ask questions again.Peng Yi was a little helpless. Liu Zhang didn't want to tell the truth, and he had nothing to do, so he had no choice but to nod and respond: "Anyway, we will know sooner or later, and there is no rush."

However, Peng Yi maintained a skeptical attitude towards Liu Zhang's statement that the two miraculous elixirs that Zhang Yi asked for from the Jiaozhi Governor's Department could save all people in the world from hunger and cold. Although scholars in the Han Dynasty studied prophecy and weibo very intensively, they were feudal superstitions. Thoughts are very important, but Peng Yi is an exception. He reads the books of sages and upholds the attitude of staying close to ghosts and gods and staying away from them. He has always scorned the theories of ghosts and gods.

"Ming Gong, there is one more thing. The governor of Jiaozhou is Zhu Fu. If you want to ask for medicine, why don't you let Mr. Zhang go to Zhu Fu? Instead, go to the prefect of Jiaozhi, Shi Xie, and ask the prefect instead of the governor?" Peng Hedong gave a hammer. Xi asked with a hammer on his head.

The Zhu Fu mentioned by Peng Yi was the son of Taiwei Zhu Jun and the brother of Yuzhang Prefect Zhu Hao. Zhu Fu had a distinguished status and held the position of governor. He had the right to inspect and supervise the governors of the counties of Jiaozhi. Compared with Jiaozhi, The prefect Shi Xie was far superior in terms of status and power.

Naturally, Liu Zhang couldn't tell, which meant that he knew based on historical development that the boss of Jiaozhou would eventually be Shi Xie, and Zhu Fu was just a passerby in Jiaozhou.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Zhang explained the reason based on the actual situation: "The Jiaozhi Governor's Department, like Nanzhong, is located in a remote place that the court cannot take care of for a while. If there is peace in the world, with Zhu Fu's governorship Although Zhu Fu is the son of Taiwei Zhu and is also the governor of Jiaozhou, I think he will not be able to control the county guards of the Jiaozhi Governor's Department. Even if we defend, it will be difficult to deter the power of the Jiaozhi Governor's Department."

"Shi Xie, the prefect of Jiaozhi, is different. Shi Xie was originally from Cangwu Guangxin. The Shi family is located in Jiaozhi. The roots are intertwined and the trees are big and deep. There are few wealthy families in Jiaozhi who can compete with the Shi family. In today's world of disputes, Jiaozhi is the The imperial court cannot take care of the land in the extreme south. It must be that the Jiaozhi wealthy family has become powerful, and the power of the Jiaozhi Governor's Department will fall into the hands of Shi Xie, making it difficult for outsiders to fight for it."

Liu Zhang summed it up: "So if you want medicine for Jiaozhi, it will be useless to ask Zhu Fu. You can only ask Shi Xie, a local snake, for help, but others will be of no help."

Peng Yi nodded in agreement: "Just like Yongchang County, the post of governor of Yongchang County has to be handed over to Lu Chang. If it is handed over to an outsider, the outsider still needs to rely on Lu Chang, otherwise it will be easy to accomplish nothing. If you lose your life due to persecution by the barbarians, you will also lose the face of the government."

While agreeing with Liu Zhang's words, Peng Yi gave a corresponding example, that is, Liu Zhang had previously appointed Lu Chang, the head of the Lu family in Yongchang County, as the prefect of Yongchang County. On the one hand, Lu Chang, as the county magistrate, did not rebel, which can be regarded as meritorious. .But on the other hand, he estimated that Liu Zhang had deeper considerations. Considering the position of governor of Yongchang County, only the local snake Lu Chang could sit firmly and suppress the barbarians in Yongchang County without breaking out into a major turmoil.

　I worked overtime until ten o'clock today, and tomorrow is another working day. It's not easy to stay up late to fill in [-] words, and the words written after staying up late are hard to read. I hope you, readers, can forgive me~
