The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

Chapter 148

As soon as Liu Han left Luoyang, he made such a big fuss, which gave the emperor in Luoyang a headache.

"Why is this kid attacking his own family?"

Liu Hong was helpless, and so was the Queen Mother. The palms and backs of her hands were full of flesh, and it would be hard to help anyone.

Not only that, because of Zhang Zhong, the local gentry in Nanyang also suffered disaster, involving dozens of families and hundreds of people.

For a time, Luoyang was in turmoil, and the scholars secretly cursed the King of Hejian for persecuting the talents of the Han gentry.

But when Liu Han copied all the evidence of the crime and the criminal's property to Luoyang, the trend in the court suddenly changed. He cursed these people as the scum of the gentry. What the King of Hejian did was to uphold justice. These people had brought shame on the gentry.

Liu Hong didn't care about his younger brother. He could do whatever he wanted. The carloads of treasure were the key.Empress Dowager Dong also showed off, but her sister begged for mercy, but stayed behind closed doors.

"Han'er has been very restrained. If we were in Bingzhou, which one of these people wouldn't be allowed to get stabbed?"

Liu Han, who was in Nanyang, didn't know this.

"It doesn't matter what treasures there are. I don't need these things. The main thing is to keep the fields and shops in good condition. These are what I value."

"Here."

Shi A and his people were called to Wancheng by Liu Han overnight to take care of the funeral arrangements.

"The books were sent to Jinyang and Master Zheng was asked to go through them first. If there are no problems, they will be collected. If there are problems, they will be burned."

"Here."

There are already many nobles in Nanyang, and with so many of them established this time, Liu Han has had a great harvest. In addition to recovering part of the land, finding hidden populations, and destroying private soldiers, the most important thing is that with everyone's help, it is much easier to find people. .

No, there were two people standing in the hall. One was what he was looking for, and the other was caught while hunting rabbits in the grass.

"Li Yan. Chen Zhen seems to be lucky this time."

Li Yan, also known as Zhengfang, was an important minister of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period. Together with Zhuge Liang, he was Liu Bei's entrusted minister before his death. He is now a Wancheng County official. (The birth year of Li Yan cannot be found, and the birth and death years of his son Li Feng are also unknown. He died in 234, the same year as Zhuge Liang. The birth year here is set as 162, and he lived to be almost 64 years old.)
Li Yan is a controversial figure. As a lonely and important minister, he must have abilities, but his temperament is not good. He is conceited and has scales on his belly. (Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms": "Peng Yi and Liao Li advanced because of their talents, Li Yan took over the situation because of his cadres, Wei Yan took over the post because of his courage, Yang Yi became an official, Liu Yan was an old official, and he was honored. Let's take a look at his actions. , follow the rules, bring disaster and take the blame, all by yourself.")
Li Yan joined Liu Bei's group relatively late. Liu Bei entrusted Li Yan with him, firstly to balance the power structure of the court and prevent the emergence of powerful ministers. At that time, Liu Bei entrusted the internal affairs of Shu to Zhuge Liang and entrusted the military power of Shu to Li Yan.The second is to balance the internal political forces and ensure the stability of Shu Han's rule.

The civil servants and generals under Liu Bei are mainly divided into four factions: one is Liu Bei's direct lineage, mainly Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Jian Yong; the other is Liu Bei's direct lineage, mainly Zhuge Liang, Ma Liang, Ma Di, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Yang Yi, and Fei Yi The Jingzhou faction is mainly composed of Jingxiang people; the third is the Yizhou faction, which is mainly composed of local Yizhou nobles such as Qiao Zhou, Zhou Shu, Du Qiong, Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi, Ma Zhong; the fourth is the Yizhou faction composed of Fa Zheng and Li Yan , Xu Jing, Huang Quan, Liu Ba, Meng Da, Dong He, Dong Yun and other Dongzhou faction.

Regarding the factions under his command, Liu Bei's strategy was to reuse the direct lineage and the Jingzhou Group, win over the Dongzhou Group, and suppress the Yizhou local group.After Liu Bei took control of Yizhou, he married the widowed Wu family (Liu Yan's daughter-in-law and Wu Yi's sister) for this purpose.

Unfortunately, God failed to fulfill his wishes. The loss of Jingzhou and the defeat in the Battle of Yiling not only caused the Jingzhou Group to lose its foundation, but also Liu Bei's direct line and the Jingzhou Group suffered extremely heavy losses.

As time goes by, the internal factional balance caused by the loss of Jingzhou will inevitably be broken.Looking at the conflict between Li Yan and Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei handed over the general power to Li Yan. The symbolic significance was greater than the actual significance. It was more for the purpose of balancing the power structure and internal political forces of the Shu Han Dynasty. Li Yan's official position was more prestigious than real, which led to his opposition to Li Yan. Zhuge Liang was extremely dissatisfied, for one.

Due to the reduction in the voice of the Jingzhou Group and Liu Bei's direct descendants, the remaining Yizhou Group and Dongzhou Group were not very interested in the Northern Expedition.Because their interests are in Yizhou and in Shuzhong.

Zhuge Liang hoped that the Shu Kingdom would forge ahead, but Li Yan hoped that the Shu Kingdom would be peaceful in order to preserve his own wealthy life.This can be seen from the fact that during the Northern Expedition in the fourth year of Jianxing (226), Zhuge Liang asked Li Yan to lead his army to guard Hanzhong, but Li Yan refused to shirk the move and instead asked to divide five counties to establish Bazhou and make himself the governor of Bazhou. , the two had conflicts because of the different interests they represented.

In the end, Li Yan delayed the transportation of grain and grass due to selfish reasons, forcing Zhuge Liang to retreat from the Northern Expedition. Li Yan frequently caused troubles and was eventually dismissed as a civilian due to crimes and moved to Zitong.

Wei Baice once said: "As long as the ministers who founded the country have skills, they can use them without considering their moral character. However, the ministers who govern the world must have both character and talent."

Therefore, for Li Yan, a talented person with both civil and military skills, Liu Han did not want to let it go despite his character flaws.

Chen Zhen (? - 235), whose courtesy name was Xiaoqi.A native of Nanyang County, Jingzhou. (It is assumed that Li Yan and Chen Zhen were born in the same year.)
His personal ability is also very strong, and he can become Zhuge Liang's right-hand man, not to mention official affairs. It turns out that in history, Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor, and the Shu Han Dynasty took Chen Zhen as a guard. He went to congratulate him, opened an alliance with Sun Quan, divided the world, and consolidated Shu and Wu. alliance.His efforts and contributions enabled the Shu Han to maintain their position under the pressure of Cao Wei.

There is another one who has a tough head, and Liu Han can't do anything about it. After all, no matter what time, no one can mess with the doctor.

Zhang Ji, Zhang Zhongjing. (Nieyang Zhang family)

Although it was a pity, Liu Han still respected his wishes. Since he wanted to stay in Jingzhou to treat people, let him stay.

However, Zhang Ji was still interesting enough. Although others were unwilling to be recruited, he still recommended one person. It happened that this person was also the person Liu Han wanted to find during this trip, Hua Tuo.

Hua Tuo, whose courtesy name was Yuanhua, was born in Qiao County, Peiguo (now Bozhou, Anhui).

Zhang Ji told Liu Han the approximate current location of this person.

"Runan."

Liu Han, who knew the location, naturally chose to leave immediately, so he urgently called Shi A over.

#
Liu Han raped the Nanyang governor, and then set off a bloody storm in Nanyang, which made everyone in Jingzhou's gentry feel in danger.

Fortunately, people come and leave quickly.

official way.

Because of the news about Hua Tuo, Liu Han regretted that there was no Jingzhou governor who could use him as a knife.At the moment, Xu Xuan didn't have much time to pay attention to Liu Han. He was taking advantage of the trend brought by Liu Han to rectify the officialdom in Jingzhou. He reported to the five prefects of Jingzhou and the corrupt people in the subordinate counties in one breath. It can be said that he became very powerful in a short time. .
