Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 8 The Spring of Cowards

"Young master, please don't joke. If you are a coward, there will be no warriors in the world."

Pang Que immediately retorted. The Liu Zhang in front of him might have been a bit weak before, but since he was elected as the shepherd of Yizhou, his whole person has undergone a huge change. Both his temperament and behavior have become extremely majestic.

He asked his father Pang Jing, and his father said that this was because of the nourishment of the body and the transfer of nourishment. Status will change a person's temperament, and support will change a person's physique. The matter of being appointed as Yizhou Shepherd made the young master feel unhappy. Change.

However, Liu Zhang's attitude towards him did not change. He still treated him as his younger brother, being close to him and caring for him, which made him feel at ease.

Listening to Pang Que's words to defend him, Liu Zhang smiled slightly and did not accept Pang Que's words. Instead, he greeted him: "Ziman, go and get the name of the person who asked to see you today. Let me see who needs to see you." Down."

"No." Pang Que responded and left in a hurry.

Watching Pang Que leave, Liu Zhang shook his head. No one would believe him if he told the truth. His ability to become the Yizhou Shepherd and be recognized by the court all depended [-]% on the reputation he spread outside.

A reputation for cowardice and incompetence.

Liu Zhang was already thinking about the fact that the imperial court agreed to his appointment as Yizhou Mu.

If the current court were that of the Han Dynasty, they would definitely not agree to Liu Zhang serving as the shepherd of Yizhou. Firstly, Liu Zhang's cowardly temper could not control the situation in Yizhou. Secondly, there is no reason for his son to succeed to the throne after his father died. Zhou The position of Mu is not the throne, and it can be succeeded by the son after the death of the father.

But the current court is very abnormal.

This year is the first year of Xingping. In the imperial court far away in Chang'an, people from Liangzhou are currently in charge of the government. To be precise, they are two thieves, Li Que and Guo Si. Dong Zhuo has already been lit by Wang Yun in the third year of Chuping. Dong Zhuo After his death, under the poisonous plan of the poisonous scholar Jia Xu, Li Que and Guo Bang successfully counterattacked Chang'an City, defeated Lu Bu, killed Wang Yun, and the Liangzhou people regained the power of the court.

The emperor of the Han Dynasty, Han Xian Emperor, no, Liu Zhang shook his head. Liu Xie's Han Xian Emperor was posthumously named Han Xian Emperor. Now that he is not dead, naturally he cannot be called Han Xian Emperor.

Within a few days of Liu Xie's escape from Dong Zhuo's clutches, he fell into the clutches of a pack of wolves in Liangzhou.

Liu Xie's words have no weight. The agreement for Liu Zhang to be the pastor of Yizhou was probably agreed by Li Que and Guo Si, who controlled the court.

As for why Li Que and Guo Bang agreed, they have to thank Liu Zhang's ambitious father Liu Yan.

His father, the former Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, had four sons in total. The eldest son, Liu Fan, the general of Zuo Zhonglang, and the second son, Liu Dan, the official secretary and censor. The third son was Liu Mao, and the youngest was Liu Zhang.

Liu Mao followed Liu Yan and arrived in Yizhou in the fifth year of Zhongping, while Liu Zhang arrived in Yizhou in the second year of Chuping.The eldest son, General Zuo Zhonglang, Liu Fan, and the second son, the censor Liu Dan, stayed in Chang'an as hostages and to detect the court's movements.

Also this year, something happened in March of the first year of Xingping. General Ma Teng planned to attack Chang'an and conspired with Liu Yan. Liu Yan was taken as hostages and stayed in Chang'an. His eldest son Liu Fan and his second son Liu Dan served as internal agents, but Ma Teng Unfortunately, Teng was defeated and fled back to Huaili.

Ma Teng ran away, but Liu Fan and Liu Dan, who were in charge, couldn't run away. They were killed by Li Que and Guo Si.

Liu Yan also suffered from back sores because his eldest son and second son were killed. The two sons died of grief and soon died of illness.

Then there was the matter of Liu Zhang being elected as the shepherd of Yizhou.

Li Que and Guo Bang, these two thieves had just killed Liu Zhang's eldest brother Liu Fan and second brother Liu Dan. They were probably worried about Liu Yan's revenge. Unexpectedly, Liu Yan fell ill and died. Although they were happy, they were also afraid of the new leader. The Yizhou Pastoral Council waited for an opportunity to retaliate against them.

At this time, the ministers of Yizhou recommended Liu Zhang as the shepherd of Yizhou. How could Li Que and Guo Bang disagree? They had probably heard rumors that Liu Yan's son was cowardly and could not hold a big position.

It is just right for Li Que and Guo Bang to have such a person serve as the shepherd of Yizhou. It is just right, so they don't have to worry about the threat from Yizhou.

Perhaps this is why the imperial court agreed to Liu Zhang's appointment as Yizhou Shepherd.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhang was speechless in his heart. What is this? Under normal circumstances, no one would like a cowardly and incompetent person, let alone letting him be a leader. But at this time, as a subordinate, Yizhou People supported him as the shepherd of Yizhou, and his enemies Li Que and Guo Si also agreed with him as the shepherd of Yizhou.

Everyone likes him, everyone loves him, everyone supports him.

It can be said that Liu Zhang is loved by everyone at the moment. Every time he sees flowers blooming, his car will have a puncture.

All the good things in the world have caught up with Liu Zhang, a man with the title of coward. "Blessings are where misfortune depends, and misfortunes are where blessings are hiding." Liu Zhang felt that it is really difficult to predict blessings and misfortunes. Sometimes good things will turn into bad things, and bad things will turn into good things. As Lao Tzu said in the Tao Te Ching Quite right.

A person's destiny sometimes does not need to rely on personal efforts, but only needs to rely on the process of history to reach the peak of life.

Just like now, Liu Zhang is neither the eldest son nor a wise man, but he has taken the position of Yizhou Shepherd. It is really the spring of cowards.

It's just that the ministers of Yizhou miscalculated, and Li Que and Guo Bang also miscalculated.The cowardly and incompetent Liu Zhang they supported in their hearts is gone. The current Liu Zhang is a modern soul from after 2000.

But they don't have to be afraid. After all, Liu Zhang, as a modern man, loves peace.

If something happens in Yizhou or in the world, let's sit down and talk more. It doesn't necessarily require shouting and killing.

Liu Zhang's motto is: "The arena is not about fighting and killing, it is about human relationships."

Not long after waiting, the swift young man Pang Que came back with a pile of famous bamboo thorns and placed them in front of Liu Zhang for him to choose from.

Mingshi is a business card in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The name of the person who pays homage is usually written on it. However, since the person visiting is Yizhou Mu, the people who come are basically seeking official positions or wealth, so the place of origin of the person who pays homage will be added to the name card. and age. If you have an official position, you will also write the official position.

Liu Zhang's predecessor was soft-tempered and rarely saw people after he became the shepherd of Yizhou. However, Liu Zhang himself had just traveled through time for a few days and had not adapted to it, and it was not convenient for him to see people. He was afraid of exposing any flaws, so this was his first time planning. Meet the seeker.

Looking at the famous assassin in front of him, Liu Zhang made a rough calculation in his mind. He estimated that there were sixty seekers here.

When you are poor in the busy city, no one cares about you, but when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives, he said with emotion.Liu Zhang, who was rarely visited by people on weekdays, had many people coming to visit him every day after he became the pastor of Yizhou. Even if they could not see him, they would come every day.

He picked up these famous thorns made of bamboo and wood and looked through them one by one to see if he could find talents.

What was most precious in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was talent!If Liu Zhang wanted to live a stable life in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he had to win over people's hearts and recruit talents.

After flipping through several pages, Liu Zhang shook his head. None of them had been heard of, and none of them were famous in history. How could he meet them one by one, like looking for a needle in a haystack to find a few talents? It was too troublesome and he didn't have that much time.

Patiently flipping through the famous tattoos, Liu Zhang suddenly stopped. Now he had some impression of the name on the famous tattoos in his hand.

It says on the name tattoo that he was born in Nanjun, his surname is Dong Minghe, and his given name is Youzai. He probably has no official position, so it only has his place of birth and name, but no official position.

Dong He may be a man whose name few people have heard of, but his son is basically known to anyone who has received nine years of compulsory education.

'Shizhong, Shilang Guo Youzhi, Fei Yi, Dong Yun, etc., are all good and honest, with loyal intentions and pure intentions. 'Memories from his past life emerged in Liu Zhang's mind.

Dong Yun.

Dong He's son is called Dong Yun. The Shu people call Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and Dong Yun the "Four Prime Ministers". Dong Yun is one of the Four Prime Ministers and is a figure who appears on the list of apprentices.

Compared with his son Dong Yun, Dong He may not be well-known, but his background and talents are clear to Liu Zhang.

Historically, due to the great chaos in the world, Dong He led his family to move westward to Yizhou.Under Liu Zhang, he successively served as Niuchang, Jiangyuan County Magistrate and Chengdu County Magistrate. During his tenure, he set an example and improved the luxury culture in Shu.

Later he moved to Yizhou as the governor, got along well with the ethnic minorities and won their love.In the 19th year of Jian'an, Liu Bei captured Yizhou and appointed Dong He as the general in charge of the army, co-presiding with Zhuge Liang in the affairs of the palace.

Zhuge Liang also praised Dong He very much, saying that Dong He had served in the court for seven years, and when he encountered any unfavorable things or deficiencies, he came to report them even if he went back and forth ten times. He was an extremely diligent and good minister who was loyal to the country. .

This person is worth seeing. Liu Zhang handed Dong He's famous assassin to Pang Que and said, "Ziman, go and invite this person. I'll see him here."

Pang Que took the assassination and said, "No." Then he walked quickly to the waiting room of the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion.
