I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 45: Zheng Chu Yutang

Stepping into the center of the inner court for the first time, and becoming a courtier qualified to go to court for the first time, these two pleasant things were intertwined. And these two joys brought many more joys...

As a result, the delighted Liu Bei wrote a memorial on his first day as Yilang.

In the memorial, he listed the measures that he believed could improve the current situation of the world, including humbly accepting advice, making rewards and punishments clear, etc., and proposed six items in total.

After finishing writing, he just felt extremely enjoyable.

After reading through it again, he felt that these six points had exhausted all he had learned throughout his life. As long as the emperor could accept his suggestions, he believed that in a few years the man would become bigger and stronger and create greater glory.

During this period, Zhu Jun, the Guanglu doctor, passed by Liu Bei's official office.

Zhu Jun came from a poor family, but he admired Liu Bei very much, so he asked what Liu Bei was doing.

Liu Bei also respected this old boss who had sent people all the way around Xiaoguan to contact Hebei County, and hurriedly handed the memorial he was very satisfied with to Zhu Jun.

He was still very humble: "General, please correct me."

"I have handed over the general's seal and ribbon, and cannot be called that in the future." Although Zhu Jun said this, he still felt it in his heart. He looked at Liu Bei's memorial and commented, "In my opinion, what Xuande said, every sentence reasonable."

"Since Mr. Zhu has said yes, I will write a letter now!" After that, Liu Bei said goodbye to Zhu Jun and went to write a letter.

He didn't notice Zhu Jun's complicated gaze behind him at all.

After Liu Bei delivered the memorial, he came back and found that Zhu Jun had left. In the inner court, they all do the same work and have many opportunities to meet.

Then Liu Bei began to look forward to it with anxiety.

one day.

Two days.

Three days.

……

Finally, Liu Bei couldn't hold it in any longer.

Lu Zhi was not found at the Chancellery, so he approached Zhu Jun again.

"Mr. Zhu, why is it that my memorial is like a stone sinking into the sea without any response?"

Hearing this, Zhu Jun handed Liu Bei a book.

Liu Bei thought for a moment and asked: "Duke Zhu means that my knowledge is not enough and I need to study harder to write better memorials?"

Zhu Jun shook his head: "I mean, if you have nothing to do, just read more books to pass the time."

Liu Bei recalled what he had seen and heard in Yilang's office in the past few days. He had some suspicions in his mind, but he still did not give up. He asked tentatively: "As a Guanglu doctor, Mr. Zhu is the chief adviser to His Majesty. Be bold and dare to ask Mr. Zhu." During these days of performing your duties, how many times have you been summoned by His Majesty?"

Zhu Jun slowly stretched out a finger.

Liu Bei thought to himself: "Although there is not one case on Yilang's side, at least there is one time on Dr. Guanglu's side!"

Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard cold words spoken by Zhu Jun calmly.

"Not once."

Liu Bei was suddenly at a loss. The emperor didn't care, so what's the use of this Yilang in front of him?

What was originally such a beautiful thing, why, why did it become like this?

At this time, Liu Bei suddenly thought of the pure and beautiful days when he first met Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

At that time, he vowed to rectify the injustices in the world.

When he came back to his senses, Liu Bei was no longer at a loss. Now his situation is far better than it was then. How could he become decadent because of temporary troubles?

Zhu Jun, who had been paying attention to Liu Bei, nodded with satisfaction when he saw that Liu Bei had returned to his high-spirited state.

Then he asked: "Does Xuande continue to write letters now?" "Of course I have to continue. I am Yilang. Even though I am not called by your majesty, I still have to fulfill my duty as a minister." Liu Bei answered solemnly.

Zhu Jun asked again: "Xuande, do you know what I mean by extending this finger?"

Liu Bei shook his head. He couldn't be entertaining him.

Zhu Jun said: "I was once summoned by Marquis Shi to inquire about the situation of Sanfu and the people of Liangzhou."

Liu Bei thought of the scene when the three brothers met Shi Hou, and affirmed: "This is what Shi Hou would do."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

……

The successful completion of the letter to He Jin made Liu Bian take the initiative a lot in Yutang Hall. He began to try to take the initiative to summon foreign ministers in Yutang Hall based on the content of the memorial.

At first, when Emperor Ling was there, Liu Bian would report to Emperor Ling who he had met, and Emperor Ling's behavior was no different from before.

Later, when the weather got colder, Emperor Ling would sometimes send people directly to pick up the items of the official document that day, either in Yeting or Xiyuan.

Overall, the situation was much better than Liu Bian originally expected.

Emperor Ling's performance seemed to confirm that he did not make Liu Bian the crown prince only because of the opposition of Empress Dowager Dong.

In December, Gai Xun, who quelled the rebellion in the three counties of Jingzhou, returned to Luoyang and was granted the title of Duxiang Marquis based on his merits.

Liu Bian finally had the opportunity to ask Gai Xun how he discovered Huang Zhong.

It turned out that Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, didn't know how to fight, but he looked down on warriors and showed contempt. Although Huang Zhong had the ability to kill generals and capture flags, Wang Rui couldn't use it.

"I came from Nanyang, and Yang Xing, the governor of Nanyang County, told my ancestors that there are many heroes in Jingzhou who can be summoned to fight against thieves.

Therefore, starting from Nanyang County, officials began to recruit soldiers with the command of the military commanders, and selected the brave ones as corps commanders and chiefs.

Later, when he went to Jiangling County, Nanjun County, he met the governor. He originally wanted to serve as an officer from an assistant official in the state capital, but it was not satisfactory.

At this time, I heard that there was a small official in the county who was supervising thieves. He was quite brave. After a trial, I realized that his courage was unmatched. "

Speaking of this, Gai Xun couldn't help but sigh: "Just because of his humble background, he abandoned his ability and didn't use it. I don't know how many people in the world have this!"

Gai Xun probably thought of the discrimination that Liangzhou scholars suffered from Guandong scholars.

In fact, Liu Bian could almost hear the word Gai Xun called Yang Xu, the governor of Nanyang, but when he mentioned Wang Rui, he only said that he was the governor of Jingzhou.

As a person who went to Jingzhou to quell the rebellion, Gai Xun had no interest in the local officials. Logically speaking, he should not have such a clear-cut attitude.

I'm afraid it's because Wang Rui is being disrespectful.

Of course, this is ultimately a one-sided statement.

At present, both Huang Zhong and Huang Gai were left as officials in Jingzhou by Gai Xun. Liu Bian was thinking that now that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were serving as generals, he would need a three-hu general under Guang Luxun.

But if there is a recurrence of local rebellions, strong generals can better suppress the rebellion.

After all, he was in Luoyang. Although he also needed strong generals, what he needed more was the control of several troops guarding the palace around him.

Liu Bian was still struggling, but something happened in Bingzhou.

Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, wrote that the Xiongnu tribes were acting abnormally. Since Xiutuge was active in the north of Xihe County, Zhang Yi decided to go to Xihe County to understand the reasons for Xiutuge's unusual behavior and to appease them.

At the same time, Ding Yuan, the captain of Taiyuan County, wrote a letter saying that Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, did not listen to the advice and did not bring enough troops to set off. There was a risk of rebellion among the various tribes and Zhang Yi would be in danger.

Five days later, Ding Yuan wrote again, not to slaughter all the Kou Xihe counties, and to attack and kill Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou. Xing Ji, the governor of Xihe County, tried to rescue him, but he also died at the hands of the Huns.
