Lu Dynasty

Chapter 477 Jingzhou will be in chaos
Now that I know that there is such a great talent as Zhang Ji in the territory, why would I let him be a small county magistrate or something like that?However, if I promoted him directly, it would make other people dissatisfied. After all, since Zhang is just a poor boy, even if he is really talented, only I know about it, so I have to meet him first, so I can hide my tongue.So I ordered the servant to call Zhang Ji, and Zhang Ji came to the meeting hall immediately when he heard me summon him.

I saw that Zhang Ji was silent, and Zhang Ji saw that I was silent, and he didn't know what I wanted to do with him. He stood aside, feeling very disturbed.After a while, I smiled at Zhang Ji and said, "De Rong, your political performance is very good, which shows that you are very capable. With your ability, it is more than enough to be a county guard and governor. Why didn't you go to the recruiting hall, but directly served as a An official? You are definitely not just a county magistrate!"

Zhang Ji said with a smile: "Return to the Prime Minister, even if I go to the recruiting hall, I still want to be an official. Since I want to be an official, it's better to start from a small official. You will definitely notice me by then. I am promoted because of my ability. This is my consistent principle! Besides, I’m only from a poor family, so how can I have the qualifications to suddenly rise to a high position?” The children of the poor family always have a lot of worries, but when I get the imperial examination system out, I think the hope of the poor family’s success will be greater.It's a pity that I can't propose the imperial examination system yet. If I abolish the examination system now, the world's aristocratic families will definitely attack me.However, the concurrent examination and imperial examinations may cause redundant officials!Even if the aristocratic family does not object, the talents I have cultivated now are not enough to compete with the people of the aristocratic family.

I looked at Zhang Ji and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I also know what De Rong is capable of. I'll transfer you to be the governor of Xiliang, but I don't know if you can do it?"

Zhang was stupefied, he said dumbfounded: "Prime Minister, I am only a county magistrate of Zuo Fengyi now, isn't it too fast for you to let me directly jump to the post of governor of Liangzhou?"

"Can you do it well! Do you have the confidence to do it well!" I stared at Zhang Ji and asked very seriously.I believe in Zhang Ji's ability, but if he doesn't believe in himself, then I have nothing to do.

"Report to the Prime Minister, I can do it well!" Zhang has sufficient confidence in himself.

I smiled and said: "Zhang has obeyed the order. From today onwards, I will appoint you as the governor of Liangzhou. Chen Gong, the former governor of Liangzhou, will join the staff. From now on, he will go out with the army as a military adviser!" I ordered, and someone will naturally record it , Zhang Ji until he left my meeting room, he still seemed to be in a dream, walking a little lightly.

My power is growing day by day. In fact, it is not just me. The power of Cao, Yuan Shao, and Sun Ce is also growing. The only one who can maintain the status quo is Liu Bei.After all, Liu Bei is dependent on others, and Cai Mao has trouble with him, and Xu Shu, who should have defected to Liu Bei, was also brought to Luoyang by a letter of mine.Sima Hui originally wanted Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong to go directly to Liu Bei, but with the characters of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, how could Liu Bei get it so easily!Sima Hui was very helpless. Since it was impossible for Xu Shu to recommend Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong to Liu Bei, Sima Hui had no choice but to find a way to recommend them.

Liu Bei's life in Xinye is getting worse day by day, Cai Mao finds trouble for Liu Bei, and Zhang Yun also helps Cai Mao bully Liu Bei.Shamoke was originally a Wuxi barbarian, how could Zhang Yun be so arrogant, and Zhang Yun was beaten into a pig's head by Shamoke.This is Sha Moke's mercy, otherwise Zhang Yun will go to see Emperor Ling.The conflict between Cai Mao and Liu Bei became more and more serious day by day, but Liu Biao obviously favored Liu Bei, which made Cai Mao even more dissatisfied with Liu Bei, so while Cai Mao wanted to get rid of Liu Bei, he even thought about getting rid of Liu Biao.

Liu Biao is 60 years old this year. He has serious illnesses and minor illnesses all day long, but he is still alive.The ancients said that a person who is over fifty is not considered young, and he has reached the age to be damned.Since Liu Biao was facing Liu Bei, Cai Hao colluded with Mrs. Cai to give Liu Bei eye drops. The wind blowing around the pillow was too much, and Liu Biao even suspected Mrs. Cai.Gradually, because of Liu Biao's disgust towards Cai Mao and Mrs. Cai, he even had opinions on Liu Cong. Now Cai Mao became more concerned about getting rid of Liu Biao.However, Mrs. Cai still has some passion for Liu Biao, which is why Cai Mao has never attacked Liu Biao.But something happened suddenly, which made Mrs. Cai murder Liu Biao!
It turned out that Liu Biao had long agreed to let Liu Cong succeed Jingzhou Mu. Although Liu Bei persuaded him last time, he had no intention of changing his mind.Until Liu Biao became more and more jealous of Cai Mao, he was afraid that what happened to Lu's pheasant in the early Han Dynasty would happen in Jingzhou.After much deliberation, Liu Biao decided to use Emperor Wu's method of establishing an heir to let Liu Cong succeed to the throne!This method is to get rid of Cai Mao and Mrs. Cai before Liu Biao dies!

Liu Biao decided to kill Cai Mao and Mrs. Cai early, but Liu Biao was not Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty after all, and he regretted it when things came to an end. As a result, he did not attack Cai Hao and Mrs. Cai.Since Liu Biao didn't do anything, he should bury this matter in his heart forever, but he, a fool, actually said it when he had conflicts with Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Cai, and said that Cai Mao and Mrs. Cai should be grateful for his kindness if they didn't die !

Mrs. Cai hated Liu Biao when she heard what Liu Biao said!Mrs. Cai thought to herself: My brother has been trying to kill you for a long time, but I didn't agree to it. You actually thought of killing me?Mrs. Cai is heartbroken, since you, Liu Biao, are sorry for me, you are not benevolent, and I am not righteous!So Mrs. Cai discussed with Cai Mao about getting rid of Liu Biao.

It is not so easy to murder a prince, even if that prince is old and confused, not to mention that Liu Biao is not confused at all, he is just a little indecisive!Cai Mao took advantage of his position to transfer Liu Biao's cronies out of Xiangyang, Liu Pan to Changsha, Kuai Yue to Jiangling, and even Wenpin to Yiling.As for Liu Bei, he was imprisoned in Xinye by Cai Mao, and without Liu Biao's order, he could not go out of Xinye!In order not to embarrass Liu Biao, Liu Bei had no choice but to stick to Xinye!

Now that Liu Biao's cronies had been transferred from Xiangyang, Cai Mao asked Zhang Yun to take over Xiangyang's defense, and together with Mrs. Cai, he began to assassinate Liu Biao.Of course, Cai Hao didn't dare to kill Liu Biao at once. They added a chronic poison to Liu Biao's diet, just like the elixir that Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia took, which made Liu Biao's body worse every day, and Liu Biao His death is just a matter of time.

Liu Bei was held in Xinye by Cai Mao, which was like house arrest, so he naturally couldn't sit still.Liu Bei racked his brains, and suddenly remembered that his third brother was the little prince of Wuximan, and Wuximan was next to Shanyue in Jiangdong.Since Liu Bei couldn't raise more soldiers in Xinye, he sent Shamoke to Wuxi Man, hoping that Shamoke would bring out an elite barbarian army!
