Because Henan County is where Luoyang, the capital of the country, is located, in order to improve the status of the county governor here, it is not called a prefect, but Henan Yin.

Henan Yin governs Luoyang and more than 20 surrounding counties, which is considered a very powerful position. However, due to the special circumstances of the capital, Henan Yin has little control over Luoyang. Major matters are left to the officials of the imperial court to deal with trivial matters.

The Luoyang Order is responsible for the matter.

Now that the capital has been moved to Chang'an, Henan County is no longer the location of the capital, so Henan Yin cannot be set up anymore. Chang'an needs to set up Jingzhao Yin, but there is no time to select specific candidates. Anyway, the so-called world affairs of the imperial court are not

There is only such a small area in Chang'an, but it is not yet necessary to assign a separate person to deal with Chang'an's affairs.

Therefore, the Henan County should be re-established with a prefect and his administrative seat is Luoyang. If the prefect's administrative seat is set in Luoyang, then the problem of the Luoyang order will naturally be solved. The prefect on duty will appoint trustworthy people to govern his area.

The city and county. What's more, he himself lives there. If he doesn't want to live in a uncomfortable place, he has to put some thought into it.

As for the person Yuan Wei proposed, no one knows about it. Even those who are not familiar with the history of the late Han Dynasty have heard of Kong Rong - this is the one who made Li, and his talent and learning are also good. In today's world

He has a long-standing reputation, and no one can object to his appointment as the governor of Henan.

This is the advantage of being prestigious at this time, but Liu Xuan doesn't like this person very much, because Kong Rong is not only very prestigious, but also a representative figure of today's noble families, and Kong Rong himself is not particularly interested in military affairs.

He was good at it, so Liu Xuan felt that this person would not be of much use even if he was recruited into the court.

At the same time, Kong Rong had a very unpleasant temper. He was a bit conscious of his reputation and acted unscrupulously. He resigned from office several times and had a bad look on anyone. Later, Cao Cao killed him, mostly because of this.

A little bit. I guess it’s hard to say whether I can hold it back if I really enter the court.

Of course, Kong Rong himself still had some abilities. For example, Kong Rong encouraged education, which Liu Xuan admired very much.

But for now, Kong Rong's move to Henan as governor is definitely beneficial to the court. As long as Kong Rong controls the east of Chang'an, Liu Xuan can safely deal with the northwest forces.

Kong Rong's reputation is so high that even if the princes in the world raise troops, they dare not touch him casually - except for the Yellow Turban Army. Therefore, even if Kong Rong has no military talent, he can still buy enough time for the court. At the same time, although Kong Rong strives for profits for the clan, but

On the surface, he was still loyal to the Han Dynasty. Kong Rong still had to obey the orders of the court or the emperor. In this way, when Liu Xuan returned from the northwest, he would not have to put in effort to attack Luoyang.

At the same time, Kong Rong was in Luoyang, which also created a buffer between the imperial court and the Guandong princes. With this buffer zone, the two sides would maintain limited exchanges. At the same time, the imperial court could not directly affect Guandong, so the Kanton princes could be more

Unscrupulous.

In short, no matter how you look at it, Kong Rong is an excellent choice, so Liu Xuan immediately issued an order: abolish Yin of Henan and restore the governor of Henan. Kong Rong moved the governor of Henan from Beihai to govern Luoyang.

After issuing the edict, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty felt that this arrangement was the most appropriate.

Yuan Wei and others felt that the emperor's appointment of Kong Rong meant that he would re-appoint wealthy scholars. Naturally, they were not dissatisfied. Some people from poor families also had no objection because of Kong Rong's great prestige and because they were descendants of Confucius.

However, Guo Jia was sitting in the corner and vaguely guessed Liu Xuan's real intention - the emperor was afraid that he didn't want to see this person, otherwise wouldn't it be better to recruit Kong Rong into the court with Kong Rong's prestige? The place in Luoyang had already been abandoned.

, can’t I just use anyone?

But he didn't say these words, he just sat there no different from everyone else.

Then Liu Xuan issued another decree: "Yuan Shao has made great achievements in defeating the thieves and will be promoted to the governor of Qingzhou."

Originally he wanted Yuan Shao to be the governor of Jizhou, but then he remembered that Han Fu was the governor of Jizhou. Although he knew that this guy might not have a good life, but there was no place to arrange him at the moment, so he couldn't have two governors of Jizhou, right?

In addition, Kong Rong left Beihai State, and the banditry in Qingzhou was particularly serious, so he had to send someone capable to manage it. As the governor of Bohai, Yuan Shao was not far from Qingzhou, so he would not object to moving him to be the governor of Qingzhou. At the same time,

He will definitely not let go of Bohai. In that case, the conflict between him and Han Fu will intensify faster, and sooner or later there will be a fight.

Later, he ordered Liu Yu to be recruited back to serve in the court. Due to many changes, Liu Yu could not make the trip. Now the road is clear. If he doesn't come back, there will be real problems. Zongzheng Temple will have to send people to investigate.

After a while, he issued an edict in the name of the emperor to "cut down the feudal vassals and quell the rebellion."

"But when Liu Yu enters the court, will he hold any position?"

This needs to be discussed first. You can't just call him back without even deciding what position he will be asked to hold, right? That would be too childish.

Originally, Liu Yu could go to Beijing to serve as the Tutor, but at this time the Tutor is Yuan Wei. This old man is firmly in that position, so it's hard to just withdraw him, right?

Then you can only look for it among the Jiuqing and the Six Ministries, and you must be a chief official, otherwise it will not meet Liu Yu's current status.

After much discussion, Liu Xuan found that the suitable positions were Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue, Weiwei, Tingwei, and Sinong. Of course, there was no problem with the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel.

After some discussion with the princes, they finally decided to recruit Liu Yu to Beijing as a farmer. After all, Liu Yu managed the local area quite well during his time in Youzhou, but he advocated a soft policy towards foreigners. This was recognized by Liu Xuan.

I don't like it, so I'm not going to let him get into positions related to military affairs.

On the other hand, there shouldn't be any problem with logistics and governing the world.

After the discussion, the edict was immediately issued: "Gongsun Zan has made great achievements in defeating the thieves and will be promoted to the governor of Youzhou! Liu Yu, the former shepherd of Youzhou, entered the court as a minister of agriculture. He will set off immediately when the edict arrives."

The key point in this edict is the last sentence, otherwise ordinary edicts would not set the time so rigidly. Liu Xuan just wanted to see what Liu Yu was thinking.

After a busy day, these more troublesome things were finally solved. However, since the Kwantung Allied Forces had contributed, they could not just give partial rewards, but the rest were minor matters. Liu Xuan did not have to worry about everything by himself and call the princes.

Come up with the reward regulations we have drawn up, and then you can take a look at them and issue an edict.

Anyway, those people were just making some changes on their own basis, and Liu Xuan didn't care. On the contrary, with the previous rewards, the situation in the world immediately changed, and he didn't know what it would look like in the end.

"And...then what else will Old Immortal Nanhua do?"

Ever since Nanhua assassinated him once, there had been no movement, which made Liu Xuan very concerned.

Nan Hua Lao Xian wanted to establish a country of cultivation, or to establish a system similar to the later Western Holy See. Although he did not directly participate in governing the world, he was aloof from the entire country.

The Yellow Turban Uprising was just the product of his planning. Although it has been put down now, many remnants are still there. There are still many Yellow Turban remnants in the four directions. If Nanhua Old Immortal rises up, it is estimated that there will not be few people who respond. The only question is where exactly will they be?

Xuan was very curious.

In addition, what happened in Nanhua also reminded Liu Xuan that during this period, there was not only the Yellow Turban Army, a force in the name of religion, but there was also a Five Pecks of Rice Sect in Hanzhong, which was Tianshi Dao (it seemed to be

The later predecessor of Tianshi Sect?), at this time, there was a lot of commotion in the northeastern part of Yizhou and Hanzhong. Liu Yan, the pastor of Yizhou, also mentioned this several times.

However, according to what Liu Yanbiao said, it was only one of the branches that caused the trouble, and the leader of the bandits was Zhang Xiu. Now Zhang Lu, the orthodox successor of today's Shidao, has contacted Liu Yan and is preparing to eradicate this branch. If successful,

Then the Sichuan land was restored to peace. Liu Xuan didn't think much about it at that time. When he thought about it now, he realized that there seemed to be nothing simple about it.

"I wonder if there is any connection between Tianshi Dao and Nanhua?"

If there is involvement, then Nanhua's power should not be underestimated. There is Tianshi Dao in the west and a large number of remaining Taiping Dao followers in the east. As long as Nanhua ascends and calls out, it is estimated that the whole world will respond. At that time, it can be

It becomes even more chaotic.

But he was just guessing about this matter, not to mention that even if there was really a contact, he had nothing to do. For now, he would just cultivate his own land honestly and strengthen his own strength before talking about other things.

While he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Xun Yu coming in and reporting in a low voice: "Liu Bei and Liu Xuande have arrived at Tongguan. Regardless of his staff, Jian Yong has already arrived in Chang'an and is currently at Lu Ziqian's house."

Lu Ziqian was Lu Zhi. When Liu Bei was going to Beijing, it was normal for him to first send people to Lu Zhi's house to inquire about some news. Liu Xuan didn't take it too seriously, but instead paid attention to other things: "Is there any news from Liu Ziyang?"

Return?"

"Zi Yang has been away for many days. A letter finally came back a few days ago, saying that Ma Teng agreed to go to Beijing to meet with His Majesty, and is currently making preparations."

"Prepare?" Liu Xuan was stunned, and then he came to his senses. Xiliang and Chang'an where Ma Teng was located were not close, and more importantly, Li Jue and Guo Si were blocked in the middle. If he really wanted to enter Beijing, he had to at least create a passage.

Just come.

Otherwise, if Ma Teng wants to enter the capital, what will Li Jue and Guo Si think? Naturally, they will not obediently get out of the way and let Ma Teng pass. If Ma Teng leads more troops, they will not dare to let go, but if you lead fewer troops...

...You have to ask Ma Teng if he dares to leave? Those two people are not kind people. In order to eliminate future troubles, it is not impossible to intercept them halfway.

But since Ma Teng agreed to come to Beijing to see him, it was considered a statement.

"In this case, I should go and greet you personally!"

Naturally, his words did not mean that he really went out of the city to meet Ma Teng, but that he had made up his mind to work with Ma Teng to eradicate these two tigers blocking the way.

Xun Yu naturally understood what he heard, but did Liu Xuan mean that he wanted to fight in person? Although it did not mean that the imperial court would send troops immediately. First of all, it was approaching winter, which was not a suitable time for war.

However, if it is really a personal expedition, then I am afraid that more preparation work will have to be done.
