I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 106 Six Years of Zhongping

For Emperor Ling, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he seemed to be working hard to govern.

Not much, but there are.

With the arrival of the sixth year of Zhongping, when Liu Bian looked at Emperor Ling, he seemed to be able to see a countdown above his head.

Just this past April.

Liu Bian didn't know whether to look forward to or resist the arrival of this day.

He even came up with the idea of ​​whether the time of Emperor Ling's death would change because of his own existence.

Before the year before, Liu Bian did not do anything.

He slightly expanded his subordinate officials in the East Palace, and successively recruited Chen Qun and Zhong Yao from Yingchuan recommended by Xun Yu.

When Liu Bian asked Xun Yu about the talents of the Xun family, contrary to Liu Bian's expectation, the first person Xun Yu recommended was not Xun You, Xun Yu's nephew, as Liu Bian thought, but Xun Yue, Xun Yu's cousin.

But these are not the key points for Liu Bian now.

These people need a growth process after all, so Liu Bian is more inclined to follow the trend.

After all, Liu Bian now represents orthodoxy. As long as he can stabilize the court, no matter how those talents enter the bureaucracy, they will be considered a "dual monarch", and he is also one of them.

Apart from these things, Liu Bian once again turned his attention to the defense forces around him.

There is actually no need to say much about the most personal group of eunuchs.

Historically, there was a gap of nearly four months between the death of Emperor Ling and the assassination of He Jin by the eunuchs. During these four months, Shi Changshi actually retreated again and again when facing He Jin. .

Not only did Jian Shuo give up his military power and wanted to kill He Jin, but he also let any Jin sent Lang officers to guard the eunuch's house in the palace area. Faced with He Jin's request to "kill all the regular servants and below", their choice was Turn to Queen Mother He for help.

But when the Ten Constant Attendants discovered that He Jin planned to kill them despite the opposition of Queen Mother He, they actually had no retreat.

In the end, Shi Changshi chose the latter between waiting for death and fighting to the death.

After killing He Jin, the ten ministers tried to emulate their predecessors Cao Jie and Wang Fu and took the young emperor to the Chancellor's Stand to issue orders. But unlike the last time when Cao Jie and Wang Fu gained the trust of Emperor Ling, this time they did not get the support of the emperor and the queen mother.

The situation got out of hand at this point.

For Liu Bian, as long as the entire eunuch group does not feel the existential crisis, then he does not have to worry about being kidnapped from the palace again.

In addition to the eunuchs, there is Habayashi Lang who is located in the Forbidden Middle East Palace.

Yulin Zhonglang General Huandian was born in the Huan family of Peiguo. He passed down the Shangshu to his family. He once taught Shangshu in Yingchuan and had hundreds of disciples.

This includes direct disciples and more nominal disciples, but regardless of whether they are disciples or disciples, based on the social values ​​​​at this time, their relationship with Huandian is equivalent to that of father and son. When this relationship was connected with the inspection and selection of officials, the valve review was born.

Huan Dian's behavior was not enough to make Liu Bian afraid, because others had done the same thing, but it wasn't until Liu Bian learned that Huan Dian had been recommended by Yuan Wei, then Situ, as the imperial censor...

Liu Bian could only say with emotion that he was indeed the Yuan family.

The disadvantage was that it was not Yuan Wei who initially recommended Huan Dian as Xiaolian. At most, Huan Dian was friendly to Yuan Wei, but he did not regard him as the leader to serve him. Moreover, the status of the Huan family in Peiguo would not make them a vassal of the Yuan family in Runan, otherwise Liu Bian would really have to consider the issue of Huandian's loyalty.

In addition to the eunuchs and Habayashiro, there are the guards belonging to the guards guarding the palace gates of Miyagi Castle.

These guards only officially belong to the guards and do not obey the orders of the guards. And because of the eunuch's status in the palace, these guards are often eunuchs and obey the eunuch's orders.

This is a problem that needs to be solved by Liu Bian in the future. Although he now wants to replace the Nangong Guards Ling and the Palace Sima with his own people, he must consider that Emperor Ling is still alive.

And outside the palace gate of the palace city, there are Huben camp and Yu Lin riding on the left and right. Zhu Jun is there, which is also reassuring.

In other words, after Liu Bian succeeded to the throne, he could quickly place people he trusted enough to control the military forces around him.

With the current situation, even if someone dares to risk the disapproval of the world and start an incident in Luoyang in advance, as long as the palace's defense force is still there, Liu Bian can quickly arrive at the Chancery with the support of the eunuchs and issue his orders.

……

In the spring of January, heavy snowfall caused disaster in Youzhou. When the snow melted, Xianbei invaded Youzhou.

The Wuhuan people, who were also affected by the heavy snow, sent envoys under the leadership of Qiu Liju to contact Liu Yu, hoping to bring the Wuhuan outside the Great Wall and the original Wuhuan inside the Great Wall to join them again.

Gongsun Zan once vowed to wipe out the Wuhuan people, and he knew that Liu Yu would definitely accept the Wuhuan people. The Wuhuan envoys had to pass through Youbeiping from Liaoxi to Jixian. He secretly sent people to assassinate these envoys on the way.

After Wuhuan learned of this, he sent an envoy to Liu Yu through the territory of the Xianbei people.

After Liu Yu learned of the incident, although he could not find any evidence that Gongsun Zan had committed the assassination, he still wrote a letter stating the matter and impeaching Gongsun Zan.

Liu Yu believed that if Qiu Liju led the Wuhuan people to annex the request, not only would they not be able to rely on the Wuhuan people to resist Xianbei, the Wuhuan people would inevitably join forces with the Xianbei people, causing even greater disaster.

Liu Yu's view is very reasonable and in line with the tradition of using barbarians to control barbarians.

Wuhuan, who lived between Xianbei and the Han Dynasty, also had the consciousness of being a dog.

Although this dog will occasionally bite its owner, it can be released to bite people as long as it is fed.

Liu Yu was trusted by Emperor Ling. He did not hand over the right general's seal after quelling the Erzhang Rebellion. Instead, he retained the Xianbei people's presence and continued to control the military in Youzhou.

Although Liu Bian disagreed with abolishing Shi Li Mu, he had to admit that although the power of the governor had been expanding, it was still 600 shi after all, and the staffing of the governor's office was not as good as that of the prefect's office.

In some cases, it is indeed necessary to have such a position that can coordinate the power of a state, but the governor is still a bit lacking.

Liu Bian really did not expect that the conflict between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan would break out so early. Although the two had their own carrots and sticks, they could not cooperate with each other after all.

However, it is also a good thing to break out early, at least it is better than laying a minefield until the war.

Although Liu Yu had a good reputation and was trusted by the emperor, after all, we could not just listen to his words and needed to send envoys to Youzhou to investigate. Moreover, Youzhou is facing the invasion of Xianbei, so it is not appropriate to replace Gongsun Zan before the battle.

This time and again, no results will come out within two months.

However, Liu Bian was already considering where to transfer Gongsun Zan. Although there was no evidence, Liu Bian knew that Gongsun Zan's assassination was undoubtedly true.

Although Gongsun Zan had great military power as the right governor of Beiping, Liu Bian couldn't help but be wary of the message of putting personal interests above national interests.

Regardless of whether he will be demoted or not, Gongsun Zan is no longer suitable to stay in Youzhou.

And Liu Yu also needed the help of someone who could command troops.

At present, Liu Bian's tendency is to exchange official positions with Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, and Gongsun Zan.
