Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 57
Zhang De finally returned to Luoyang at the end of December.In fact, the army did not come back so soon, but Zhang Rang sent a letter asking Zhang De to return to Beijing years ago, so Zhang De rushed to Luoyang and sent people to pick up Huang Zhong's family, so that Huang Zhong's family could be reunited in Beijing. .

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Zhang De didn't arrive in Luoyang until the evening, and Zhang Rang had already set up a banquet to clean up Zhang De's achievements.As soon as Zhang De returned to Zhang's mansion, he saw that the whole family hadn't eaten and were waiting for him to come back.Almost all of Zhang Rang's godsons and godsons in the hall came.Zhang Rang smiled and took Zhang Dela to sit beside him, not to mention how happy he was, that he finally had a promising son!

After the meal, Zhang Rang called Zhang De into the room. After carefully listening to Zhang De's account of the battle, he pondered for a moment and said, "It's really not easy for my son to make such a great contribution, but after all, the leader of Jizhou is Huangfu." Song, my father is afraid that he will use some means to conceal your achievements! But don't worry, I don't pay attention to Huangfu Song's tricks! By the way, Xianzhang, I have other important things to call you here tonight."

"Father, please tell me!" Zhang De said.

"A few days ago, Liu Yan wrote to His Majesty to return to the prefecture's pastoral system, and the people of the clan will be in charge. His Majesty is very excited. What do you think of this matter?" Zhang Rang asked.

Zhang De remembered that it was because Emperor Ling restored the state pastoral system that the power of the state pastors was too great, and each had countless soldiers. They did not pay attention to the court, which caused chaos in the world, and said: "If your majesty restores the state pastoral system I am afraid that the pastoral rights of the states are too great, and it is not easy for the imperial court to restrict them!"

"Well, Xianzhang, what you said is right, I know it too, but His Majesty is still undecided, worrying about this every day!"

"Father, I have an idea, why not choose a few states to try it out first, and if it is really possible, then change to the state pastoral system in the whole country!" Zhang De said casually.

"Good idea, I will tell His Majesty in a few days! Hey, now the power of the locality will become more and more powerful, so I am going to let you be a prefect. Hanzhong is a rich and prosperous place. The terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. , so I want you to go to Hanzhong!" Zhang Rang said.

"It's all up to my father to arrange!"

……

Luoyang in the New Year is filled with joy. Although the Yellow Turban Uprising took place in Zhongping, the people in Luoyang breathed a sigh of relief at the end of the year when the news that the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou had disappeared.

Emperor Ling had read Liu Yan's memorial several times in the past few days.In the past few days, Lingdi has been looking for ways to prevent another large-scale peasant uprising, and Liu Yan's memorial seems to have given Lingdi a glimpse of a way.

Letting the clan's children serve as state shepherds can indeed prevent those who endanger my Liu family's country, and there are indeed many capable children in the clan who can take on important responsibilities.It's just that in this way, it seems a bit distrustful of officials with foreign surnames, will it cause their dissatisfaction?
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time for you to rest!" Zhang Rang said softly when he came to Emperor Ling.

"Let father, I can't sleep, you look at this memorial, help me think about what I should do?"

"Your Majesty, are you worried that if you appoint the imperial family, it will cause dissatisfaction among courtiers with foreign surnames?" Zhang Rang asked after reading the memorial.

"Yeah, let my father understand me and give me an idea!"

"This old slave thinks His Majesty's concern is justified. Since His Majesty is undecided, why not choose a few states to try?" Zhang Rang said.

Emperor Ling suddenly realized, and agreed immediately.At this time, Zhang Rang said again: "Your Majesty, the list of soldiers who have contributed to the suppression of the rebellion has been sent up. This is the memorial of the three generals."

"Well, let's put it down, I'll see it tomorrow. These people have contributed to my big man, and they must be rewarded properly!"

After Zhang Rang waited for Emperor Ling to sleep, he left.But Lingdi solved a worry and slept well.Woke up early the next morning, had breakfast, and went to the imperial study.

Emperor Ling glanced at the hill-like memorials piled up on the table, and suddenly saw the memorials of Huangfusong and the other three mentioned by Zhang Rang yesterday, and opened them to read.

Finally, the name Liu Bei came into Emperor Ling's eyes, and Emperor Ling thought to himself, at the critical moment, we should rely on my Han family clan. Thinking of this, Emperor Ling was more determined to appoint the clan.

……

above the hall.

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the veteran, there is something wrong with this list of rewards!" He Jin said holding a draft list of rewards, which included rewards for those who have contributed to the suppression of the chaos.Of course, Huangfusong, Zhu Jun and Dong Zhuo did not exist. As the chief generals, the three of them would go to Beijing to receive His Majesty's reward in person.Most of the people on the list just issued an imperial decree.

"What's wrong?" Lingdi asked.

"Your Majesty, although General Fenwu Zhang De has made great achievements, he is still too young. I am afraid it is not appropriate to let him serve as the prefect of Hanzhong! Hanzhong is a place where our big man produces food, and Zhang De is a military general. As for the civil servants, as for Mr. Zhang De, it is better to let him be an official in Beijing, and let him be the prefect after a few years!" He Jin said.

When He Jin saw Zhang De on the list of rewards, he was appointed as the prefect of Hanzhong, and he was very unwilling.According to He Jin, now that Zhang De is so favored by Zhang Rang, it is more valuable to let him stay by Zhang Rang's side than to let him be a prefect!So today He Jin was the first to oppose Zhang De as the prefect of Hanzhong.

Zhang Rangke spent a lot of effort to fight for this position for Zhang De, and now seeing He Jin come out to stir up trouble, he was very upset.

Lingdi also knew that Zhang Rang loved Zhang De very much. At that time, Lingdi didn't object to Zhang De being the prefect of Hanzhong. Now he saw that He Jin objected, but he couldn't help giving Zhang face, so he said: "The general said there is some truth. , Taifu, what do you think?"

Yuan Kui was also weighing the pros and cons at this time.Let Zhang De stay in Beijing, Zhang Rang will have an extra right-hand man in Beijing; if Zhang De is allowed to go outside as a prefect, although Zhang De can be driven out of the capital, but the eunuch party must have an extra help outside, which makes Yuan Wei very embarrassed .

Suddenly, Yuan Kai's mind changed, and he thought about it, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Zhang De is really not suitable to be the prefect of Hanzhong!" Yuan Kai paused when he saw that Zhang Rang's face was turning purple into an eggplant. I am very happy.

Yuan Kai went on to say: "Zhang De was born as a general, and he is really not suitable to be the prefect of Hanzhong, so the veteran recommended Mr. Zhang as the prefect of Beihai. There are many bandits in Qingzhou now. General Zhang De is brave and resourceful. General Zhang De sits in Beihai. Kebao Qingzhou has no worries!"

Hearing this, Emperor Ling thought that the North Sea is also good, and that Zhang De seems to be from Qingzhou, so it would be good to let him return home, so he nodded his approval.

And Zhang Rang's face next to him was even uglier.Zhang Rang thought to himself, Yuan Wei, you are so vicious. Qingzhou was full of bandits, and now many remnants of the Yellow Turban Army are hiding in Qingxu. I am afraid that there are hundreds of thousands of bandits in Qingzhou. Ask Zhang De to go to death!But seeing that Emperor Ling had already agreed, he couldn't say anything more, so he had to endure it!
