Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 59
In Jiangzhou City, the county seat of Bajun, a group of civil and military officials who had participated in quelling the chaos in Bajun gathered in the county temple.

Liu Zhang was at the top of the list and rewarded the ministers who had made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion in Bajun.

"Gao Qing." He called Gao Pei's name.

"Yes." Gao Pei responded with his hands raised.

Liu Zhang recounted Gao Pei's achievements: "If Gao Qing hadn't guarded Jiangzhou, the Bajun rebellion would not have been so embarrassed. They were confused and gathered Liang Ping, and I was able to defeat them in one fell swoop."

"In terms of merit, I regard you as the general of Andong Zhonglang."

"Thank you Ming Gong." Gao Pei looked happy and agreed immediately. When Zhang Su issued the imperial edict, Zhao Wei got the position of He De Zhonglang General, and named the title "He De" in front of the Zhong Lang General. He was extremely envious, and now that he had won General Anton Zhonglang, it was not too much of a concession.

"Gongheng." Liu Zhang then commented on Huang Quan's contribution: "As the chief blogger, you participated in secrets, commanded the military, deployed the army's supplies of food and fodder, and also contributed suggestions and meritorious services."

"It is appropriate to concurrently serve as the leader of the central army, commanding the soldiers and supervising the imperial guards."

He took out the post of central leader that Cao Cao had established during the Jian'an period, and planned to hand over the affairs of the imperial guards to his brother-in-law so that he could sleep more peacefully.

"Thank you Ming Gong." Huang Quan accepted, not surprised that Liu Zhang gave him the position of leader.

Then Liu Zhang named Zhang Ren and Gan Ning.

"Justice captured the enemy commander Liu He alive, and he also had one thousand cavalry, and defeated the enemy's cavalry. The school captain is not enough to show his merits, so it is better to add the word Xiaoqi, and become the Xiaoqi school captain, commanding thousands of cavalry."

"Xing Ba destroyed the front and trapped the formation, suffocating the enemy's edge. The formation killed Puchang and frightened the rebel army. Now I add the word "Fu Han" in front of the school captain."

For Zhang Ren, who was unparalleled in horsemanship and incomparable with a spear, he took out half of his cavalry wealth and gave it to Zhang Ren to command.

As for Gan Ning, who had great generals and unparalleled generals, he gave the obviously profound meaning of the word "auxiliary to the Han Dynasty" and hoped that Gan Ning would assist the Han Dynasty.

When Zhang Ren and Gan Ning heard this, they couldn't help but be happy, and they immediately bowed down and accepted the order.

In addition, some of Wu Yi, Xu Meng, Shen Mi, Lou Fa, Ling Bao, and Deng Xian were given names and some were rewarded. The rest were rewarded based on their merits.

Now those who followed Liu Zhang and made great efforts to defeat the rebellion of Bajun have been rewarded. It is time to praise the people who were loyal and firmly standing by his side during the rebellion of Bajun.

"Cheng Qing." He looked at Cheng Ji, the head of Hanchang who was summoned to Jiangzhou by him.

Cheng Ji responded and attended Liu Zhang's instructions.

"It is rare for Cheng Qing to abide by his duties this time, not be coerced by the rebels, and save one party."

"I now take you as the governor of Ba County. I hope you will not refuse."

When he heard that Liu Zhang had promoted him from the position of Chang Chang of Han Dynasty to the position of prefect, which was a great achievement, Cheng Ji was not happy at first, but was a little confused.

Not only him, but also the celebrities and wealthy patriarchs from Ba County who were invited here all looked confused and communicated with each other with their eyes, trying to get answers from each other.

Cheng Ji held up his hands and declined and said: "Ming Gong, the country has a system and is based on the three mutual laws. I am a native of Langzhong, Bajun, and I am not qualified to hold the post of governor of Bajun."

Liu Zhang smiled and shook his head: "I know it, but you are no longer from Bajun, but from Brazil."

'Brazilian. Hearing this, Cheng Ji became even more confused. After thinking for a moment, he came to his senses and asked tentatively: "Ming Gong, could it be that you are planning to divide Ba County?"

"Of course." Seeing that Cheng Ji had guessed his intention, Liu Zhang responded.

Immediately, the doubts of the Bajun scholars present were cleared. The leader Liu Shijun planned to divide Bajun, and many people's eyes shone brightly.

For every Bajun, there will be two or three more county guards, which is not too much, but there can be a lot more official positions for the county magistrate, Cao Yushi and other assistant officials.

Moreover, they can also use this to circumvent the Three Mutual Laws and obtain a high position in a county.

This is a great good thing for the Bajun scholars.

Liu Zhang, who was at the top, looked at the Bajun scholars who were a little reserved and couldn't help but smile, and then told him how he dealt with Bajun.

"I want to take the north of Dianjiang as Basi County, Jiangzhou to Linjiang as Ba County, and Quren to Baidi and Kuimen as Badong County."

Three points of Bajun, this is what Liu Zhang once did in history.

Because Bajun is so big, it reaches Nanjun of Jingzhou in the east, Hanzhong Plain in the north, Jianwei and Nanzhong areas in the south, and Guanghan in the west. According to the evaluation of Danwang, the prefect of Bajun in the Eastern Han Dynasty: "There are four thousand in the north and south, and four thousand in the east and west." Five thousand, more than ten thousand miles around. '

Liu Zhang was a little uneasy about putting such a large county in the hands of one person. It would be good for him to divide Bajun. The following Bajun scholars were also happy to see it.Furthermore, Ba County has a relatively large territory and is very difficult to manage. Setting up more management teams can reduce the burden on officials.

At the same time, the mountains and rivers in the eastern part of Bajun are steep, and the western part is relatively flat. The customs of the two places are different. The three parts of Bajun can also take into account the customs and customs of the east and west parts of Bajun.

This is something that everyone is happy to see.

"You may have a different opinion." Liu Zhang promoted Li Shimin's virtue of being kind and obedient, and asked everyone present for advice.

"Only obey the orders of Duke Ming." Meng Biao, a famous scholar from Bajun, was the first to attend and expressed his attitude and absolutely supported Liu Zhang's decision.

Then all the scholars from Bajun attended the ceremony and responded in unison: "We only obey Duke Ming's orders."

Liu Zhang smiled and nodded: "In that case, Cheng Qing should not refuse anymore."

"Thank you Minggong." Cheng Ji accepted the order and took the post of governor of Bajun.

"Mr. Meng, Mr. Li." After arranging Cheng Ji's position, Liu Zhang named the famous Bajun men Meng Biao and Li Jing.

"Mr. Meng exhorted the great clans of Jiangzhou, and Mr. Li exhorted the great clans of Dianjiang to keep them in their proper place and not to rebel."

"Mr. Meng will be the governor of Brazil, and Mr. Li will be the governor of Badong."

"Thank you Minggong." Meng Biao and Li Jing responded. After dividing Bajun, their hometowns of Dianjiang and Jiangzhou are both in Bajun. They can respond to the governors of Brazil and Badong.

At the same time, they were quite happy. As Wang Shang's letter from Wang Shang said, Liu Zhang accepted the scholars from Bashu and had no prejudice against the scholars from Bajun. Now the scholars from Bashu can be considered successful.

Liu Zhang calculated that this time, most of the meritorious ministers were rewarded, and what was left was to deal with a special person, the magistrate of Liangping County, Sheng Dao, who first got involved in rebellion and then turned against him.

"Come to Tishengdao." He ordered.

Not long after, Shengdao walked into the house. Although he was a prisoner, he didn't look worried. He stood still and bowed down: "I have met Mr. Ming."

"Sheng Jun, although you were rebellious, you knew the right way and defended Liang Ping, cutting off the rebel army's retreat. You can be regarded as a meritorious minister." Liu Zhang pointed out Sheng Dao's contribution.

Sheng Dao looked ashamed and declined, saying: "Dao was deceived by Liu He and committed a heinous crime. He guarded Liang Ping. He did not do his job, so how could he dare to claim his merits?"

"I was unfaithful as a minister. I attached myself to a traitor. As a county magistrate, my rule in Liang Ping was damaged by the passing of the traitor army. This is all a Taoist crime."

He regretted listening to Liu He's bewitchment and raising troops. Liu He's behavior of only pursuing power and not caring about the people made him, as the magistrate of Liangping County and an official close to the people, really unable to see it. Upper eyes.

Furthermore, when Cheng Ji faced Pu Chang and used his son Cheng Yu to coerce Kaicheng, Cheng Ji's unmoved heroism made him very ashamed.

Therefore, he killed Qu Shuai Fu Ji, who was staying with him in Liang Ping, and closed the city gates, leaving Liu He defeated and retreating without a foothold to make up for his mistakes.

Now that Liu Zhang said that he had contributed to the defense of Liang Ping, he would never dare to accept it.

"Ming Gong, my son Cheng Yu would have almost died at the hands of thieves without the help of Lord Sheng. I am willing to use my merits to atone for Lord Sheng's sins." Cheng Ji attended and paid his respects. He stopped Pu Chang from killing Cheng Yu and released Cheng Yu back. Shengdao extended a helping hand.

Liu Zhang smiled, nodded in agreement, and joked: "Mr. Sheng, not only is Ji Ran interceding for you today, but there is also someone who has made it clear that he is willing to stay in jail on your behalf."

Hearing this, Shengdao looked confused, wondering who was going to atone for his sins.

Liu Zhang waved his hand and saw a woman being called in from outside the door.

"Madam." Sheng Dao recognized the person at a glance, but he didn't expect that his wife would ask Liu Zhang to atone for his sins.

The shame on his face became more and more serious, and he bowed to Liu Zhang and said: "Ming Gong, the law has permanent punishment, how can you atone for others' sins? I would like to increase the punishment for you. I have no other words."

Shengdao's wife Yuanjiang also bowed down and said: "Ming Gong, I would like to stay in prison to take my husband's sins."

'If the love between husband and wife is really deep, is this love? Liu Zhang sighed inwardly and gave his final verdict to Sheng Dao.

"The country has a system and cannot atone for others' sins."

Hearing Yan Yuanjiang looked disappointed and was about to say more.

But Liu Zhang, who was in charge, continued and said: "Mr. Sheng has made mistakes, but he has also made merits. Now his merits and demerits are equal to each other, so he still serves as the magistrate of Liangping County to make up for his previous mistakes."

As soon as he said a word, the whole audience was shocked.
