Great Han Empire

Chapter 676
Jizhou, Handan, the eldest princess Xingyuan.

After Xun You announced the imperial decree, he immediately went to visit Lu Zhi who was seriously ill.

Recently, Lu Zhi and other senior officials have been busy negotiating on reform strategies, and they have also frequently met with famous figures in Jizhou to appease and deal with the bloody storm caused by the general when he cleared the land in Jizhou.He worked hard all day long, had little time to rest, and became more and more ill.

Lu Zhi was very surprised when he saw Xun You, "Gongda, are you still alive? I thought..."

"Does your lord think I'm dead?" Xun You laughed, "I ate well and slept soundly in the cell in Meiwu, how could I die?"

Xun You spent two years in the prison in Meiwu.After Lu Bu captured Meiwu, he was rescued.Not long after Dong Zhuo was put to death, he was enlisted by Yang Biao to serve as the censor of Taiwei's mansion.Just over a month later, the second mutiny broke out in Chang'an.This time, many ministers in the Chang'an court died, and the court was seriously short of people, so he was immediately worshiped as a servant.

Xun You recounted the two mutinies in Chang'an in detail, and finally tore off his robe, and took out a secret letter from the interlayer of the clothes, "This is jointly written by four adults, Huangfusong, Yang Biao, Chunyujia and Zhu Jun. A secret letter. I rushed to Handan day and night just to deliver this secret letter to you adults.”

=

This letter was written by Huangfusong, and the four adults stamped their seals on it.Now the court of Chang'an is jointly presided over state affairs by these four ministers, that is to say, this letter actually represents all the opinions of the court of Chang'an.

At present, Li Jue and other Xiliang rebel generals hold the military power tightly, while Han Sui and Ma Teng have a very strong alliance with Li Jue and others starting from the stability and development of Xiliang. It is very difficult to launch a third mutiny in the short term.Huang Fusong believed that since it was impossible to quickly split the rebel army and rescue the emperor, it would be okay to wait.

Judging from the ups and downs of the past three years, even if King Qin succeeds now and rescues the emperor, it will not be able to quickly revitalize the country.One is because Yuan Shao has already occupied the Kanto region. Relying on the support of several wealthy counties around him, his strength will grow rapidly. How he plans to revitalize the country will directly affect the fate of the great man.Second, we have not yet come up with a feasible restructuring strategy.Without reforming the system and revising the national policy, it will be difficult for Han Zuo to continue.

The growth of Yuan Shao's strength has greatly increased the difficulty for us to revitalize the country.If he rebuilds the imperial line in Luoyang, our situation will be very difficult.What is Yuan Shao's revitalization strategy?Will he rebuild the royal line?Will he risk the collapse of the society and fight us to the end?Is it possible for Yuan Shao to change his course and turn to honor the current emperor, take the common people in the world as his concern, and quickly stabilize the society?
With no answers to these questions, our only choice and reliance is Li Hong.

To rely on Li Hong's force to save the country, there are several crucial issues that need to be resolved urgently.One is to do everything possible to rapidly increase the strength of Hebei, and the best way is to implement the New Deal in various parts of Hebei.If the series of restructuring measures we formulate cannot make Hebei stronger, then our restructuring will fail, and we will not be able to revitalize the country in the future.

The implementation and promotion of any new policy will encounter all kinds of resistance, especially from our own internal resistance. Therefore, if we want the policy of reform to be implemented smoothly, the most important thing is to obtain the support of Li Hong and many warriors in northern Xinjiang. support.It is not enough to have the support of only one Li Hong, we must have the support of many warriors representing various forces in northern Xinjiang.This is the second problem we urgently need to solve.If we want to save the country, we need warriors to conquer the world, and we need these warriors to go to court, work together with us, and share power with us.

Why did Master Situ Wangyun's first Chang'an mutiny fail in the end?The reason is simple, he doesn't trust me, and he doesn't trust Li Hong either.He was worried that I would take away his authority after appeasing the Xiliang generals, and he was even more worried that Li Hong would hold the emperor and the court hostage like Dong Zhuo after he entered Guanzhong.Master Situ and many ministers in the court stubbornly believed that scholars should be in charge of power, and warriors should be a knife in their hands, fighting the world for them.This ridiculous and stupid point of view finally sent them to the road of death.The world has changed, but they are still so short-sighted, unable to make quick strategic adjustments, and still govern the world with outdated concepts. How can this world not perish?
The reason for Dong Zhuo's failure is exactly the same as Wang Yun's.

Thinking about it now, I think Dong Zhuo was really pitiful and pathetic.He is a warrior, but like a scholar, he stubbornly believes that a warrior is a sword in the hands of a scholar. He despises himself and ruins himself.After he entered Luoyang, among those old subordinates who had followed him for decades, the biggest official was the general Zhonglang who commanded the army, but none of them was promoted by him to be a general, and he went to court to participate in state affairs like scholars , to manage state affairs together.

We can think about it, if Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Guangwu completely excluded warriors from the court and strictly prohibited warriors from getting involved in power, would they be able to conquer the country and rejuvenate the great man?

We can think about it again, if when Dong Zhuo was in power, there were many warriors and scholars in the court to manage state affairs together, would Dong Zhuo still rely so much on and accommodate the scholars?Will Dong Zhuo implement a series of inconceivable strategies of subjugation?Dong Zhuo will destroy the country to what it is today?

We can also think about it, if Master Situ Wangyun is willing to manage state affairs with the warriors, and is willing to let me, Li Hong, and even Li Jue and other Xiliang generals go to court, and everyone will work together to stabilize and revitalize the country. Work hard, will the situation of Dahan become so dangerous today?
Warriors must enter the court and share power with scholars. This is the only way to save the country at present.

You may have the same thoughts as Lord Wang Yun and many ministers in the court, thinking that Li Hong will be like Dong Zhuo in the future, arrogant and perverting the law, endangering the country, and even embarking on the road of usurping power, but have you ever thought about it? During the period of Emperor Xiaowen, Xiaojing, and Emperor Xiaowu, warriors and scholars were in charge of power in the court, and in many cases even important ministers who were born as warriors were in charge of state affairs and assisted the young emperor. Let me ask, how many warriors have conspired to usurp the establishment ?On the contrary, for hundreds of years in this dynasty, those who were arrogant and lawless and conspired against the law, except for relatives and treacherous eunuchs, were scholars, and many relatives were originally scholars.

The best quality of a warrior is loyalty. The loyalty of a warrior is forged with blood and tears. It is the strongest and most trustworthy loyalty in the world.If you don't believe in Li Hong's loyalty, don't believe in his loyalty to the big man, and don't want to work together with him, then what kind of society are you saving?There is not even the minimum trust and loyalty between people, and even the minimum quality of life, so what is there to save this big man?
The revitalization of the society requires restructuring, and the reform requires the support of the warriors. If the support of the warriors is needed, the warriors must be given the dignity and authority they deserve. Otherwise, what will be lost is not only the support of the warriors, but the great Han community.If the great Han society is overthrown, the survival of scholars will become a problem, where will there be power?
Huangfusong immediately asked the third question.If your lords agree with my statement, re-examine the status of warriors in the court, and revise the established revitalization strategy, then I will work hard with the ministers in the Chang'an court to maintain the stability of Guanzhong, maintain the tacit understanding between us, let Under the most favorable conditions, you have enough time to implement and implement the New Deal and develop your strength.

=

Huangfusong's letter aroused fierce debate in the big tent.

Zhang Wen, Lu Zhi, Ding Gong, Ma Rixun, Yuan Pang, Chen Ji, Cai Yong, Zhao Qi and other ministers made an in-depth analysis of Huangfusong's views from their different positions and angles, but facts speak louder than words.Dong Zhuo's defeat was indeed due to his complete reliance on scholars.Wang Yun's defeat was indeed due to the complete exclusion of warriors.

For these veterans who rushed to Jinyang early to implement reform and rejuvenate the country, they also have profound lessons.Last year, the reform of Jinyang failed, precisely because the court completely rejected the warriors. As a result, the scholars fought with each other. Without the support of the warriors, the reform of the court could only end in failure.After Dong Zhuo's death this year, the Jinyang court ignored the emperor's decree, let alone the warriors, and still controlled the court, dictating the military affairs in northern Xinjiang, which angered Xian Yufu and Li Wei.The two raised troops and surrounded Longquan, forcibly carried out the imperial decree of the emperor, and abolished the Jinyang court.

At present, the revitalization of the country urgently requires warriors to fight the world, but the scholars are extremely repulsed by warriors, which obviously does not help to ease the contradiction between scholars and warriors.

It seems that Huangfusong and Zhu Jun, who were born as warriors, have seen the root cause of the obstacles to the revitalization of the country, and their suggestions must be carefully considered.In the years to come, the scholars must take a step back, give up some of their power, and discuss state affairs with the warriors. Only by working together can the society have the hope of revitalization.

However, it will take quite a long period of time and process for scholars to change the inherent concepts formed over hundreds of years, to respect and trust warriors, to give up part of their power, and to discuss state affairs with scholars.

"Gongda, Lord Huangfu wants you to stay in Jizhou." Ding Gong said, "In my opinion, you should not leave, just stay here. Jizhou urgently needs manpower."

Xun You nodded with a smile and said, "Before leaving, Master Huangfu and Master Zhu repeatedly asked me to stay with the eldest princess. I will not leave." Then he asked about the current situation in Jizhou, "Has Gongsun Zan been defeated and returned to You?" State?"

"Gongsun Zan has withdrawn his troops, but the situation in Jizhou is very bad." Ma Rixun said with a wry smile, "Master Liu Yu, the Taifu, is very worried about the fact that the general led the army to kill the Youzhou army, although Gongxi (Yuan) and I Pang) persuaded him to make peace in every possible way, but he was very stubborn and did not want to join hands with the general."

"Youzhou is barren and there are many refugees. It is necessary to appease the Hu people. The military resources of the Youzhou Army are also a big expense. If there is no assistance from Jizhou, how can the Master Taifu support it?" Xun You asked puzzledly, "General He is an old official of the Grand Tutor, and the relationship between the two has always been very close. How could he turn against the General because of Gongsun Zan? Anyway, at present, only the General has the power to revitalize the country, and he should support the General without hesitation."

"Gongda, you probably don't know very well about some things." Ma Rizun immediately told Xun You about the imperial disturbance in Jinyang, "Master Taifu is a good man, he probably doesn't want to implicate the general, so he returned to Youzhou Afterwards, he immediately distanced himself from the general. This time, he took advantage of the opportunity of the general to kill Gongsun Zan, so he completely turned against the general."

"What about the general?" Xun You asked hastily, "What does the general think?"

"The general's attitude is very ambiguous." Zhang Wen said, "Whether Master Taifu has the order of 'True Dragon Son of Heaven', we don't know, but to the Son of Heaven and some ministers, Master Taifu cannot live in this world. Yes, so this matter is troublesome."

"Since Master Taifu is unwilling to join forces with the General, then he is the General's enemy. Is the General going to take this opportunity to send troops to Youzhou, eradicate the traitors, and stabilize the rear of Hebei?"

"Not for the time being." Zhang Wen shook his hand, "The stability and development of Jizhou needs a process. The general will not send troops to fight until the refugees in Jizhou are not resolved. There are three states in Hebei, and Bingzhou and Youzhou need Jizhou's help, so I am optimistic. , if the land of Hebei wants to gain the power to sweep the world, it will take at least three to five years to recover, and it will take three to five years when the weather is smooth and there is no war." Zhang Wen looked at the crowd, stroked his beard and smiled, "Is there such a thing?" After implementing the New Deal for a long time, we will definitely discover many advantages and disadvantages, and gain sufficient experience for the promotion of the New Deal in the thirteen states in the future.”

=

Afterwards, everyone discussed the situation in the various prefectures in Henan and the Gyeonggi area, and carefully analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the various forces. They all felt that the world would be pacified within five years.

Everyone's topic shifted to the New Deal again.

The greatest resistance to the implementation of the New Deal came from within the scholars, especially the many local officials and aristocratic families who studied Jinwen Confucian classics.

=

At present, the factions of scholars gathered in the Palace of the Princess Chang, the Mansion of the Great Sima, the Mansion of the General, Jizhou, and the northern Xinjiang are very complicated. How to check and balance the power of the scholars of each faction has become the key to the successful implementation of the New Deal.

Some of these scholars came from Hongnong in Kansai, such as Yang Qi of the Yang Clan.Some came from Guanzhong, such as Ma Ridun and Zhao Qi of the Horse Clan.Some are from Chenliu, such as Cai Yong.There are also father and son Chen Ji and Chen Qun from Yingchuan, and father and son Yuan Pang and Yuan Huan from Runan.

Some scholars came from Hedong, such as Wei Gu and Wei Ji (ji) of the Wei clan, and Xu Ling, a rich man.

Some scholars came from Taiyuan, such as Wang Rou, Linghu Shao, Guo Yun, Sun Zi, Wang Ze, Wang Chang (chang) father and son from Jinyang, Wang Chen, son of former Situ Wang Yun, and nephew Wang Ling.

Some scholars came from Youzhou, such as Lu Zhi from Zhuojun, Liu Fang, a member of the royal family, and Tian Chou from Youbeiping (Tian Chou had been called to Handan by Li Hong).

Some scholars came from Jizhou, such as Cui Lie, Cui Jun and his son, they came from the Cui family of Anping State, the most powerful family in Jizhou, Xing Yong from Hejian, Yan Yan from Zhongshan, and Cui Yan from Ganling. ), Cui Lin brothers.

The most scholars came from Hanoi, including Sima Zhi, Sima Lang, and Zhang Fan from the Simamen Faction in Jizhou to escape disaster, as well as Sima Lang's friends Zhao Zi and Chang Lin, as well as Huojiaren from Hanoi and Chen Liu Daru Bian. Rang's disciple Yang Jun.

Hearing this series of names, Xun You, who came from the Xun family in Yingchuan, was a little shocked. He never expected that there would be so many disciples of such aristocratic families gathered in this small Xingyuan.

=

The differences in academic concepts have led to major conflicts in the strategy of governing the country.How to reduce differences and ease conflicts has become a top priority.

A large part of the list provided to the general by Zhang Wen, Cui Lie and others were their opponents in academic and official circles. It caused them a lot of trouble.The general is so bloodthirsty, will he raise his butcher knife against those who helped him in the future?

In order to appease the aristocratic families in Jizhou, reduce the differences and contradictions between modern and ancient scholars, and publicize and promote the New Deal, Zhang Wen and others decided to expand the Handan University Hall and invite famous scholars from all over the world to give lectures in Handan.

At this time, Master Xiangkai took all his disciples and went north to Jizhou with the refugees.Zhao Qi, Cai Yong and others were overjoyed and invited him to Handan first.

Soon, Zhang Wen, Lu Zhi, Ding Gong, Ma Rixun, Yuan Pang, Chen Ji, Cai Yong, Zhao Qi, Yang Qi, Xiang Kai and other ten famous Confucian scholars jointly wrote a letter, which was written by Xiang Kai. The disciples of the master were sent to various places separately.

The celebrities invited this time include the Hongru Zhang Yun from Julu County, Hu Zhao from Yingchuan who went to Zhang Yun to avoid disaster, and Zheng Xuan from Qingzhou Beihai.

Master Zheng Xuan is 65 years old this year.

The master first studied modern Confucian classics, and later studied ancient Chinese classics. He collected many schools and integrated them into one.

When Zheng Xuan was young, he went to Luoyang, the capital city, to study at Taixue.He studied under the fifth Yuanxian (the fifth is refolding), and successively learned "Jingshiyi", "Gongyang Chunqiu", "Santongli", "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", etc., all of which have reached the level of proficiency.Among them, "Jingshiyi" and "Gongyang Chunqiu" are important classics of Jinwen Confucianism. "San Tong Li" and "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" are important works on the study of calendar.

A few years later, Zheng Xuan studied "Zhou Guan", "Book of Rites", "Zuoshi Chunqiu", "Han Poetry", "Guwen Shangshu" and other books from Master Zhang Gongzu in Dongjun, Yanzhou. In addition to "Poetry", they are all important classics of ancient Chinese classics.

After Zheng Xuan learned the important scriptures of the two schools of modern and ancient Chinese classics from Wu Yuanxian and Zhang Gongzu, he was not satisfied with it, and learned "Ling Ling" from Chen Qiu.During this period, he also traveled to You, Bing, Yan, and Henan for the purpose of learning the classics and exercising morality. He visited famous Confucian scholars, transferred to many teachers, and discussed academic issues together.

At the age of 37, Zheng Xuanxi entered Guanzhong, and through the introduction of Lu Zhi, he studied under Ma Rong, a famous scholar of ancient literature and classics.Ma Rong is a native of Maoling, Fufeng, with profound knowledge. He has annotated Confucian classics all over the place, making the study of ancient Chinese classics reach a mature level.Zheng Xuan was not valued by Ma Rong for three years, and he was not even able to see him face to face. He could only listen to the lectures of his high-level disciples. No lethargy.
Once, Ma Rong and some of his high-level disciples calculated the problem of Huntian (a kind of ancient astronomy) together, but they encountered difficulties and couldn't solve them by themselves.Some people said that Zheng Xuan was good at mathematics, so Ma Rong called him to meet him.Zheng Xuan solved the problem on the spot, which made Ma Rong amazed.After that, Ma Rong attached great importance to Zheng Xuan and taught him in person.

Zheng Xuan studied under Ma Rong for seven years. Because his parents were old and needed to be raised, he bid farewell to Ma Rong and returned to his hometown.Ma Rong believed that Zheng Xuan would definitely surpass himself, and he said to his disciples with deep emotion: "Zheng Sheng is gone now, and my way is east!" Carry forward.

=

The establishment of Zheng Xuan's status as a leading figure in the field of Confucian classics originated from the third great debate between the current dynasty and the ancient Chinese Confucian classics.

More than ten years ago, during Emperor Xiaoling's reign, there was a massive debate between the modern and ancient schools of Confucianism. The reason is because of a book.

Mr. He Xiu, a famous master of Jinwen Confucianism in this dynasty, wrote the book "Gongyang Chunqiu Jiegu" in 17 years, and invented many contents of "Gongyang".It can be seen from his three articles "Gongyang Moshou", "Zuoshi Zhiming" and "Guliang Feiji" that he believes that among the three biographies of "Spring and Autumn", only "Gongyang" has profound meaning and is as impeccable as Mozi's city defense. However, the second biography of "Zuo Shi" and "Gu Liang" has serious shortcomings, which are not worth studying at all.

Zheng Xuannai wrote "Fa Mo Shou", "Needling Impairment", and "Qi Fei Disease" to refute his views.He believes that each of the three stories has its own advantages and disadvantages, and "Ram" is not perfect.

=

In fact, the focus of debate between the two schools of modern times and ancient Chinese classics is on the three biographies of "Spring and Autumn", and the disputes between the three biographies are all focused on whether "Zuo Shi" has the true meaning of a sage and "passes on "Spring and Autumn"" on a question.

"Zuoshi Chunqiu" is originally a historical work with rich content, and has nothing to do with Confucian classics.Liu Xin saw it for the first time when he was studying the Secretary’s Code. He thought that this book was not widely circulated and must be vigorously promoted through the study of classics, so he asked the emperor to appoint an official and a doctor. host.

The doctors of Jinwen Confucianism at that time did not actually understand "Zuoshi" and refused to enter the official school.Although the ancient text "Zuo Shi" failed to be established as an academic official in the end, relying on its own academic value, its social influence is expanding day by day, and private schools are flourishing day by day.The two previous disputes between Fan Sheng and Chen Yuan and Li Yu and Jia Kui between the two schools of modern and ancient Chinese classics in this dynasty were all born from "Zuo Shi".

=

He Xiu regretted that Li Yu, a Confucianist in modern texts, failed to gain the upper hand in the debate with Jia Kui. Now that "Zuo Shi" is becoming more and more prosperous, "Gongyang" has no evidence to retreat. Facing such a situation, In this predicament, He Xiu planned to use offense as defense, so he wrote "Gongyang Chunqiu Jiegu", intending to revive the absolute status of Jinwen Confucianism in academics.

Zheng Xuan fought back and wrote "Fa Mo Shou", "Qi Fei Ji" and "Zhen Gao Hua" to refute He Xiu's treatises.

The debate lasted for a long time, and the final result of the debate was that Jinwen Confucianism was at a disadvantage, and Jinwen Confucianism was hit hard again.

After He Xiu saw Zheng Xuan's rebuttal, he admired Zheng Xuan very much, but he was also quite dissatisfied: "Kang Cheng entered my room and used my spear to cut me down!" It means that Zheng Xuan can find out from his articles. Contradiction, using his own contradictory statement to refute his argument.

The dispute between He Xiu and Zheng Xuan ended with Zheng Xuan winning, and the status of ancient Chinese classics was thus consolidated and improved.

Because Zheng Xuan's critique of He Xiu was very powerful, the scripture teachers and scholars were very impressed.At that time, people in the capital called He Xiu the "sea of ​​learning" and Zheng Xuan the "spiritual god". Zheng Xuan's prestige far surpassed that of He Xiu, and thousands of disciples followed Zheng Xuan.

Zheng Xuan made his living by studying ancient Chinese classics, and he also adopted the strengths of modern classics, mixed modern and ancient literary methods, and merged them into one. There were hundreds of different schools of thought and formed his own unique theory of classics. He used his unique theory to A comprehensive study of the three biographies of "Spring and Autumn" from the standpoint of "common learning" finally resolved the focus of the debate between the two schools, eliminated the sectarian differences between the two schools, affirmed the academic status of ancient Chinese classics, and basically ended the dispute. The great debate between modern and ancient Chinese classics lasted for more than two hundred years.

But the problem is that due to the limitations of the situation at that time, this big debate related to the survival of the two factions of modern and ancient Chinese classics did not destroy the dominance of modern classics in official studies. As a result, the school and scholars in the states and counties of the world were not informed in the form of an imperial edict. Therefore, the stubborn forces of the modern classics school took advantage of their official position to continuously launch counterattacks against the ancient textual classics school and stubbornly resisted.

=

In order to minimize the academic differences and conflicts in governance strategies between officials of the modern and ancient schools of literature and classics, so as to implement the New Deal smoothly and carry out various reform measures, Zhang Wen, Lu Zhi, Ma Rike and others planned to Invite him out, let him give lectures, tell scholars all over the world about his advanced academic thoughts and theories of "the whole school is different", and let him vigorously promote among the scholars of the two factions that he has mastered modern and ancient Chinese. In order to eliminate the protracted disputes between the two schools of classics.

=

The propositions of Zhang Wen, Lu Zhi and others were unanimously approved.

Of course Li Hong couldn't ask for it, he immediately sent a hundred personal guards with superb martial arts skills, accompanied by Master Zheng Xuan's disciple Cui Yan, and several Dazhitang disciples to Xuzhou to look for Master Zheng Xuan.

Zheng Xuan first lived in seclusion in the Nanshan Mountain of Buqicheng in Beihai, Qingzhou.After the Yellow Turban Army's uprising, due to the lack of food, they immediately dismissed the students and went to Gaomi.Later, Gaomi couldn't stay any longer, so he had to flee to Xuzhou to join Tao Qian.Tao Qian treated him with the courtesy of a teacher and friend.Zheng Xuan settled himself in a stone house under Qichiyan, a mountain in Nancheng, and rarely showed his face. He still worked tirelessly on Confucian classics and commented on them day and night.

Cui Yan was born in a family of officials, good at fencing and martial arts. Only at the age of 23 did he learn "The Analects of Confucius". At the age of 29, he went to Qingzhou with his good friend Gongsun Fang to learn from Zheng Xuan.Cui Yan has been protecting the teacher and wandering with the teacher. He didn't return to his hometown until the teacher settled down.

Cui Yan's younger brother, Cui Lin, had already been requisitioned by the prefect Xu Hun.When Xu Hun heard that Cui Yan was back, he was very pleasantly surprised and went to Cui's mansion to invite him.As a result, Cui Lie found out about this matter, and without further ado, he asked the General to write a transfer order, and transferred Cui Yan and Cui Lin to the General's Mansion together.Xu Hun regretted it.Everyone was robbed by the General's Mansion, so I was happy for nothing.

=

At the end of August, after careful discussions, Li Hong, Zhang Wen and others rationally allocated a number of subordinates among the three prefectures.

The eldest princess originally did not participate in specific government affairs, but was only responsible for patrolling and monitoring, but Li Hong expanded the power of the eldest princess.The eldest princess is not only responsible for patrolling the states and counties, supervising and prosecuting illegal activities, but also responsible for the formulation and revision of the new policies, supervising the implementation of the new policies by the governments, taking charge of the ancestral temple sacrifices, taking charge of the doctor's sacrifices and other educational matters, and supervising the Jinyang and Handan universities. , Supervise township evaluations in various places, and help the prefectures of northern Xinjiang and Jizhou to select talents.Zhang Wen, Lu Zhi and many other veterans, Xun You, Zhang Fan, Sima Zhi, Cui Jun and many other big officials all belong to the Princess Palace.

The Da Sima's Mansion and the General's Mansion are no longer combined into one, but the military and government are separated, and each manages the military and government.

The Da Sima Mansion is in charge of the political affairs of the six prefectures and four counties, and supervises the farming affairs.The New Deal was implemented in six states and four counties.Various specific measures related to the new policy will be jointly agreed upon by the Princess Palace and the main officials of the Palace.Da Sima Fu is responsible for the specific implementation.

The chief minister Li Wei and Sima Xie Ming are responsible for the daily affairs of the Da Sima Mansion.Yu Peng, Tang Yun, Yin Si, Cui Yan, Wei Ji, Xu Ling, Yuan Huan, Liu Fang, Liu Fan, Sun Zi, Sima Lang, Zhao Zi, Wang Ling and others served as the Thirteenth Cao Cao.

The General's Mansion is in charge of the military affairs of the world and the military administration of the six states and four counties.

General Shi Zhumu and Sima Tianchou are in charge of daily affairs in the General's Mansion.Chen Hao, Chen Qun, Zheng Yan, Fu Gan, Xing Yong, Zhen Yan, Cui Lin, Wang Chang, Wang Chen, Chang Lin, Yang Jun and others served as subordinates of Cao Cao.

Zhang Wenwen, Lu Zhi and other senior officials put forward a reform measure.

In this special period, the two generals, Xian Yufu and Xu Rong, should each lead a military administration in northern Xinjiang, so as to reduce the pressure on the Sima Mansion and the generals, and ensure the smooth flow of government orders and the stability of northern Xinjiang.

General Li Hong readily agreed and ordered Anbei General Xian Yufu to supervise the military administration of Bingzhou, and General Longxiang Xu Rong to supervise the military administration of Hedong and Kanxi.The warriors in northern Xinjiang began to have local military and political power.

In September of the third year of the Chuping period of the Han Dynasty (192 A.D.).

After careful discussion with the officials of the three prefectures, Li Hong wrote back letters to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Zhang Miao and others respectively, urging them to respect the emperor, obey the imperial decree of Chang'an, and not to act arbitrarily and bring disaster to the society.Regarding Jin Shang, the governor of Yanzhou, Beijiang is determined to send him to Yanzhou to take office.

Jizhou is now in a state of waste, and all the mansions are so busy, how can they think about going south?It's nothing more than threatening them.

Part of the northern Xinjiang army is currently stationed in the northern part of Jizhou led by Qu Yi, part of it is stationed in the southern part of Jizhou by Zhang Yan, and Zhao Yun and Jiang Wu are stationed in Handan with cavalry.Rizhu Wang Liu Ming has led his army back beyond the Great Wall.

Pound from Mobei Protectorate also sent good news.After Wei Jun led the Ural Mountain cavalry into the desert, the situation in the desert changed immediately, and the kings of the Hu tribe sent troops to the north to suppress the rebellion.In July, the two sides fought a battle in the Sunset Plain.Master Xianbei in the west died in the battle against evil, but unexpectedly, the wild wolf king Ranger also died in battle.Soon, Mijia, Kirby Xiong and Xiong Ba rushed to Mobei to mediate, and Budu led his troops to surrender.

After the death of the wolf king, his son was young, and most of his subordinates were dissatisfied, and the wolf tribe dispersed immediately.Under the persuasion of Mi Jia, some people took refuge in Bu Du Geng.Some people moved south to Jinxueyuan with the Han army and joined the Tuoba tribe.Immediately, Bu Dugeng led the tribe to move south to the grassland where the wild wolf tribe lived, as the master of Xianbei in the west.

According to the general's order, Pang De, Yan Wuwei, Tian Yu and others convened a meeting of the Hu tribes in the desert to discuss the matter of some Hu tribes moving south to the border county.At the same time, the first batch of Bianjun people who moved south to Jizhou had already entered the Flying Arc Fortress.

The land clearing in Jizhou is coming to an end, and the work of resettling refugees to farm in various places has started rapidly.October is just around the corner and the busy fall harvest and planting is about to begin.

One day in September, Li Hong suddenly received a letter from Yuan Shu.
