Ji Han Liu Zhang

Ever since Dong Zhuo rose up and destroyed the imperial order, the world has been in chaos for a long time. It can be said that there is no day without war in the world. There are few places of peace and tranquility, and few times without wind and waves.

However, the isolated Shu region stayed out of the world's disputes, had not heard of war for a long time, and enjoyed a peaceful life.

In the eyes of the Chief Clerk Wang Shang, he believed that all this was due to Liu Zhang, the current Grand Marshal and General of Chariots and Cavalry and Governor of Yizhou.

The land has been brought to peace, all thanks to you, my lord.

Until now, his wise husband has been fighting against the rebels for the country, pacifying Guanzhong, and killing the Liangzhou rebels such as Li Jue and Guo Si who have been causing chaos in the world, and his reputation has been shaken among the Rong and Di peoples.

"Having such a wise man, I have nothing to regret in death." After receiving the news from Guanzhong, Wang Shang, the chief secretary who stayed in Chengdu, was delighted and had an idea. He was glad to serve under Liu Zhang and make contributions to the restoration of the Han Dynasty.

After putting down the good news from Guanzhong, Wang Shang picked up his pen and began to write on the silk cloth spread out on the desk in front of him.

The text says: "Qin Jian is extremely filial and should be posthumously awarded the title of Xiaolian."

Qin Jian, a native of Chengdu, was a man who was extremely filial to his parents. However, despite his filial piety, he had a bad fate and died early. However, Wang Shang intended to posthumously award Qin Jian the title of Xiaolian to show the Han Dynasty's intention to rule the world with loyalty and filial piety.

At the same time, the late Qin Jian was made into a role model, so that the young men of the Shu army could emulate his deeds and be filial to their parents and brothers, which led to a good atmosphere and excellent culture in the Shu army.

In addition, the Chief Secretary Wang Shang also had some selfish motives, which was to show that under the rule of his wise master Liu Zhang, the people were simple and honest, and the country was well governed, and it was no different from the barbaric land of Zhongzhou.

"Father, why are you so happy? Is there any good news from Guanzhong?" At this time, Wang Shang's eldest son Wang Peng walked in. Seeing the joy on Wang Shang's face, he naturally asked.

Wang Peng was always concerned about the war in Guanzhong. Whenever he met Wang Shang, he would ask about it. After all, the war in Guanzhong was related to the future of his Wang family. If Liu Zhang could conquer Guanzhong and wipe out the bandits, he would be like a hidden dragon rising to the sky and turning the tide.

As for the Wang family, who are attached to the wise Lord Liu Zhang, they should also try to curry favor with the powerful and rise to prominence. The name of the Wang family, along with the wise Lord Liu Zhang, will be known to the famous people of the world.

You should know that his father, Wang Shang, served as the chief secretary under Ming Gong Liu Zhang. He held a high position and had great power. He could be regarded as the number one person after Ming Gong. Whenever Ming Gong Liu Zhang went on an expedition, his father would stay behind in Chengdu and command the rear. He was known as Xiao He.

The progress of Lord Liu Zhang is the progress of his father Wang Shang, and also a great leap forward for the Wang family.

As it concerns the fortune of his family and the outcome of the war in Guanzhong, Wang Peng cannot help but be concerned.

Facing his eldest son who was anxious and asking questions, Wang Shang did not give any riddles. He smiled calmly and revealed the situation in Guanzhong: "Guanzhong is now stable. Li Jue, Guo Si and other Liangzhou thieves have been beheaded and executed. They are not allowed to cause trouble in Guanzhong anymore. The elders of Guanzhong can enjoy peace."

"Guanzhong has been settled!!!" Wang Peng was suddenly confused when he heard the news. He could not help but mutter several times that Guanzhong had been settled. Although he had full confidence in Liu Zhang and believed that the Liangzhou bandits Li Jue, Guo Si and others who were rampant in Guanzhong were definitely not Liu Zhang's opponents, Wang Peng still gave Liu Zhang a very generous time to settle Guanzhong, thinking that if there was a victory report before the end of the year, it would be considered a good progress.

After all, the Liangzhou thieves Li Jue and Guo Si were under the command of Liangzhou soldiers who were experienced in fighting and should not be taken lightly. The Guandong coalition forces in the past attacked Dong Zhuo but failed to defeat Dong Zhuo. It was only because Prime Minister Wang Yun used strategy to sow discord between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo that they were able to take advantage of the opportunity to kill Dong Zhuo.

Although Dong Zhuo was dead, Li Jue and Guo Si, relying on their powerful soldiers, launched a counterattack in Chang'an and captured the emperor again. The meritorious Prime Minister Wang Yun was even forced to death by the bandits.

However, he never expected that Li Jue and Guo Si, who had such strong soldiers, could not last for a few months under his wise master. In just a few months, they were defeated in Guanzhong and died underground.

"This is an old story of Emperor Gao...Father, what Governor Dong Fu said about Yizhou having the aura of an emperor is indeed true. He is indeed extraordinary in prophecies and divinations." Wang Peng showed his joy. He believed that Liu Zhang's current behavior was no different from that of the previous Emperor Gao, Liu Bang. Conquering Guanzhong would be the first step for Liu Zhang to rise to power.

At the same time, Wang Peng talked about a long-standing rumor in Shu County that Yi land had the aura of an emperor. He used to have some doubts about this omen-like prophecy of Zhizhong Dong Fu, but now, he has complete faith in Dong Fu's art of prophecy.

After Wang Peng finished his speech, he was thinking about whether he should find some time to find Dong Fu and ask him to read his face to see if he had the appearance of a noble.

"Be careful with your words." Wang Shang frowned. Although he agreed with what Wang Peng said, he thought Wang Peng should not have said such things. It was okay to think about such words in one's mind, but it would be too frivolous to say them out loud.

Wang Shang has always been the man who has the final say in the family, and he is extremely prestigious. In addition, Wang Shang is now the chief secretary, with a high position and power, and he has a sense of majesty. So when Wang Peng heard what Wang Shang said, he immediately put away his smile, nodded seriously and said: "Father, don't worry, I only said this in front of you, and I will never say these words outside. I still know the importance of this."

"You shouldn't say such words, whether at home or outside. Don't speak them lightly... Who can predict the destiny? Who dares to speak carelessly?" Wang Shang shook his head and warned Wang Peng.

"Yes, I will remember my father's teachings." Wang Peng accepted Wang Shang's admonition solemnly.

After giving Wang Peng a lecture, Wang Shang took out the silk cloth from the table that was used to posthumously award Qin Jian the title of Xiaolian and handed it to Wang Peng.

Wang Peng took the silk cloth, glanced at it, and naturally read the words on it: "Is Qin Jian awarded the title of Xiaolian posthumously?!"

"Yes." Wang Shang nodded, and he sighed: "Qin Jian's filial piety is still alive, but his life span was short, so he could not be awarded the title of Xiaolian. But even if Qin Jian died, the title of Xiaolian should be awarded posthumously, so that the filial son would not be left without fame."

"It is indeed a pity for Qin Jian. If he were still alive, it would have been a great thing for him to be awarded the title of filial and incorruptible official. Now he can only be awarded posthumously." Wang Peng sighed. Qin Jian's reputation for filial piety was well-known in Shu county. Many people in Shu county believed that he could be a filial and incorruptible official. Awarding Qin Jian the title of filial and incorruptible official posthumously was in line with everyone's wishes.

"You go and take care of this matter." Wang Shang gave the order. Wang Peng now works as a staff member in the shogunate, so naturally he cannot avoid running around.

"Yes." Wang Peng said in a serious tone and took on the task. (End of this chapter)
