I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 39: Discussing Pingliang Policy again (please read it, please)

Faced with the impeachment of courtiers, Huangfu fought hard and won Emperor Huan's trust.

Unfortunately, although Huangfu Gui escaped the open spears of the Kanto scholars, he did not avoid the hidden arrows of the eunuchs.

His good governance in Liangzhou only lasted for more than a year before disappearing due to his deposing. Then the Guandong scholars came to power, and the top-down oppression of the Qiang people began again, and the Qiang rebellion broke out again.

This time it was Duan Ji who was decisive and decisive in suppressing the rebellion.

Fu Xie believed that Huangfu's method could truly solve the Qiang rebellion.

He summarized his previous failure to recruit the Qiang people to farm, and believed that the main reason was that the time was too short, and he did not have the same reputation as Huangfu Gui among the Qiang people in Liangzhou.

But based on the fact that these people in the fields are willing to guarantee his safety, he believes that the Qiang people now understand the kindness and righteousness as before.

Later, he also pointed out that the Qiang people who originally settled in Hanzhong County, Guanghan County and other places in Yizhou had very few rebellions in history. Now, the Han and Qiang people in Yizhou are almost indistinguishable from each other. This is the ideal state.

This "Zhuangjiehou" who sacrificed his life for the country in history has survived and is bound to continue to implement his political ideas.

The imperial censor Zheng Tai had been ignored by Emperor Ling when Lu Zhi was reading the memorial, and he had been worshiping in the palace. His originally famous behavior made him look like a clown in the court where only Lu Zhi's steady voice was present.

After Lu Zhi finished reading, Zheng Tai impeached him on the spot: "The people Fu Xie gathered to farm the fields only knew that he was there, but they didn't know that they were serving the court. What Fu Xie did was really to support the bandits' self-respect and bribe the Qiang people!"

If Zheng Tai's previous request for Emperor Ling to pay Xiyuan money only made Liu Bian frown, now he was left speechless.

Liu Bian waited for a long time and found that no one wanted to speak for Fu Xie at all.

Only Lu Zhi made a show of leaving the table again. As a minister, Lu Zhi sat at special seats with the Sili Xiaowei and Yushi Zhongcheng, which was called "three separate sittings". From Liu Bian's perspective, his actions were particularly obvious.

Obviously, Lu Zhi probably didn't expect this to happen.

Liu Bian suddenly thought of a sentence - "How can we govern the country well with these insects!"

Immediately, he put the thought of wretched development behind his head, stood up before Lu Zhi, and said, "Father, I have something to say."

Emperor Ling naturally agreed.

Liu Bendao said: "Liangzhou is located on the border, in a remote location, and Han and Qiang people live together. Looking at the government's strategy towards Liangzhou in the past sixty or seventy years, I realized that only when Liangzhou people were in power could there be no great chaos. I thought that my father would The emperor originally sent Hanyang Prefect out of this consideration!"

"Who in the court dares to say that he knows more about the affairs of Liangzhou than the people of Liangzhou? Now that the Hanyang Governor has sent a memorial, shouldn't we discuss the feasibility in detail?"

Liu Bian looked at Zheng Tai again: "Prefect Fu is fulfilling his important position. How could he not know that this memorial will arouse suspicion? It's just for the sake of the country that he doesn't care about personal honor and disgrace! At the beginning of this year's rebellion, Prefect Fu almost wanted to die for the country. Why didn't he see the imperial minister? Shi mentioned?"

After Liu finished his speech, the court became very quiet for a while.

Liu Bian's performance was much more radical than during the last court meeting.

No one thought that Liu Bian would express his political views at this time.

All ministers have different thoughts and inclinations.

Zheng Tai was the first to react and retorted: "As a minister serving as a censor, I should be aware of illegal actions..."

As he was speaking, someone interrupted him loudly, forcing him to hold his words in his heart.

But it was General He Jin. He Jin left the table and paid homage: "Your Majesty, I believe that as Your Highness said, the policies of the emperor in the past were actually good government, but they were abandoned halfway because of the eunuchs' frame-up and could not be implemented to the end. This shows that the eunuchs..."

He Jin scolded the eunuchs as always, and he was very happy. He suddenly heard a few coughs from He Miao behind him, and then he remembered that he was originally going to support his nephew, and then he changed the subject.

"... Fu Xie can imitate Huangfu Gui's strategy, and at the same time, it can also strengthen the court's determination not to give up on Liangzhou."

He Jin submitted a letter a few days ago, which caused Emperor Ling to issue edicts to many wise men to enter the capital, which gave him a lot of reputation.

As soon as he took the lead, many officials present followed suit. He Miao also followed immediately, and more and more people supported Fu Xie.

Even Liu Bian couldn't help but feel that there were too many people.

However, Liu Bian then thought about it and realized that He Jin cleverly tied this matter to his opposition to the eunuchs, which would naturally attract those who opposed the eunuchs.

However, judging from past contacts, he was a bit unbelievable. Does He Jin have such quick wit?

Little did he know that eunuch was a sensitive word in He Jin's mind, and it was the black and bold type. Any bad thing that could be related to eunuchs, He Jin would use it as a reason to eliminate eunuchs.

Liu Bian looked at Emperor Ling, only to see Emperor Ling looking at the ministers with an expressionless face.

"Isn't it counterproductive to use too much force?" Liu Bian thought in his mind.

After a long time, Emperor Ling named Zhang Wen, the captain of the Sili School, and asked: "In your opinion, if we follow Fu Xie's words, how many troops should be sent and how much food should be provided every year?"

Liu Bian breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Wen is still in charge of the logistics of the Han army in Liangzhou. After hearing this, he thought for a while and replied: "In my humble opinion, if you want to defend Ji County, you only need two thousand elite soldiers. If you want to protect the entire territory of Hanyang, At least three thousand fine cavalry must be added. After that, Hanyang can be used as the starting point, and Fu Xie's strategy can be adopted to win over people's hearts and gradually recover the remaining counties."

Zhang Wen added: "Hanyang County is far away. I estimate that it will cost 70 to 80 million yuan to support these five thousand elite soldiers."

This means that the money squeezed out of the state coffers is still not enough.

Cao Song hurriedly complained: "The state's tax revenue is insufficient, and it really can't fill the gap!"

Yuan Pang, the Great Sinong, said: "In the past, when the Western Regions were established, nearly 80 million yuan was allocated every year. Liangzhou is closer than the Western Regions, so the annual expenditure of 80 million is not much. I once calculated that since Emperor He, more than 60 years of , a total of 56 billion yuan was spent on the Eastern and Western Qiang. Compared with this, 80 million is a small amount."

Cao Song originally thought that Yuan Pang was a reliable teammate, but he did not expect that Yuan Pang would directly surrender to the enemy. He pointed at Yuan Pang sitting next to him with wide eyes and was speechless.

It is worth mentioning that Yuan Pang was born in the Yuan family in Chen County, and the Yuan family in Runan had moved out of Chen many years ago, and the relationship between the two parties was not close.

Yuan Pang is a pure person with few desires and does not talk about the shortcomings of others. He successively served as Weiwei, Situ, Zhijinwu, etc., and he stuck to his own way and was not affected by all forces. He is a genuine pure minister.

Emperor Ling finally said: "In that case, according to Fu Xie's words, he moved Fu Xie to be the governor of Liangzhou and was in charge of the affairs of Liangzhou's people. Sun Jian was appointed as the prefect of Hanyang, guarding it with 5,000 cavalry, assisting Fu Xie and serving as the minister. The edict will be drafted later, and the master will execute it."

At this time, Emperor Ling noticed the confusion on Cao Song's face. Even though he was very concerned about his private money, he couldn't help laughing. After a while, he said: "If the military expenditure exceeds 50 million, it will be made up by Xiyuan."

"Let's discuss rewards for meritorious soldiers!"

　I feel like the title of this book is not very attractive right now. Do you have any suggestions?
