Chapter 105 The Serious Clan

If you look back at the ancient times from a modern perspective, you will find that there are many phenomena that are difficult to understand today.

Solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, and meteors are all natural astronomical phenomena, but in the eyes of the ancients, because they were very different from the normal state and because the chances of occurrence were very few, they had some other guesses about these visions.

If there is any kind of vision, it means that God has revealed a certain will to the world.

But one thing is the same, most of these abnormal phenomena are considered to be signs of disaster.

After Mr. Dong, the Han court began to blame the deviation of the emperor or ministers for the reasons for this phenomenon, which caused the furiousness of God.

Of course, the emperor cannot be wrong, and the only one who is wrong is the minister...

So, in the end, it became a routine that whenever a strange phenomenon occurred, the three men took the blame and used their step down to calm the "public anger".

During Liu Hong's administration, the three ministers who were "dismissed" were not as frequent as in the past, but this was simply because the vision did not occur frequently.

But this situation seems to have changed after this year...

This year, not only did the "Tiangou Food Day" last three times in a row, but floods also occurred. This must be because the court made mistakes in handling the matter, but what exactly happened...?

The various rumors about strange phenomena in Luoyang City have not stopped. Even after Cao Song and other three dukes were dismissed, there are still many rumors.

———

In the Huaxing Palace in Xiyuan, Liu Hong was having a heart-to-heart talk with his ministers, and his target was Liu Yu, the prime minister of Peiguo who had just been transferred back.

Like many people with the Liu surname, Liu Yu belonged to the royal family of the Han Dynasty, but he was still very different from the royal family of Liu Yan, Liu Biao and Liu Bei.

Liu Yu, whose courtesy name is Bo'an, is from Tan County, Donghai County, and is a descendant of Liu Qi, the King of Donghai Gong, and the son of Liu Shu, the prefect of Danyang.

Who is Liu Jiang? He is the eldest son of Emperor Guangwu, so Liu Yu is the descendant of Liu Xiu's serious bloodline, while Liu Yan, Liu Biao and Liu Bei's ancestors were all princes of the Western Han Dynasty.

This distinction between closeness and alienation is still very obvious. For this reason, Liu Yan and others, the royal families left behind by the Western Han Dynasty, would not be of much help to their official careers before they became famous, and would not even be recognized.

Only after they prove their strength by making a name for themselves will the emperor recognize their identities as needed...

Otherwise, Liu Yan would not need to hold Xun's thigh, and Liu Biao would not need to judge the title of "Ba Jun". He would also have to follow Yuan's sect.

However, an authentic royal family like Liu Yu does not need to look at anyone's expression. They either have their own ban, have no worries about food and clothing, or stay in the capital, and have a monthly salary for the Zongzheng.

However, Liu Yu was a little different from other playboys, and the Eastern Han royal family was a little different. He worked tirelessly and served the country. His ruling ability was also outstanding and highly valued by Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty.

However, Liu Hong has never revealed his true plan to Liu Yu. Until today, Liu Yu realized that his master had such a big plan and had been acting in the harem for this reason...

While surprised, he admired the Lord's ambitions and promised to devote his life to help the Lord achieve his goal!

The two talked for a long time, from their future expectations of the Han Dynasty's governance to the recent situation in Bingzhou, Liu Hong also revealed his detailed plan...

Unexpectedly, the two were having a happy chat, and a strange phenomenon appeared outside the cusp!

The day suddenly turned into night, and it seemed like the curtain was removed from the sky, and suddenly entered Xiao Ji. This was the solar eclipse in everyone's eyes.

The king and his subjects could no longer calm down. Although Liu Hong had never believed in the superstitious statement of God's warning, he also knew that he could not change the faith of many subordinates and people.

What's more, the secret reports from Xun Tao and others in Bingzhou were also urging him to take action immediately, and it was urgent, otherwise the mountains and rivers would fall into a situation of no return.

Liu Hong walked outside the palace gate and looked at the dark sky, as if the sky was staring at him.

The boundless darkness was like a huge eyeball, staring at him straight, as if to go straight through his heart and see through him completely.

The infinite unknown made him feel a little unavoidable fear. He didn't know what he was afraid of, because there were too many things that could cause fear, but nothing could really make him say that there was something terrible.

"It seems that the original strategy needs to be adjusted again..."

Liu Hong clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said.

So he called Shi A, then turned around and walked back to the palace, sat on the dragon throne, and issued the emperor's decree among the pile of candles lit by the eunuchs:

"Recalling all the disciples of the Bingzhou Party, as well as Yang Qiu and his group from the Censorate! Let them return to the capital immediately to report their duties!"

In fact, the report of the work is not the key, but to prevent the people on both sides from causing trouble to the newly in power of Bingzhou officials. The situation has changed now. If you continue to act like this, it will not only be effective, but will lead to new disasters.

It is better to go back to Luoyang to act...

Immediately afterwards, Liu Hong ordered another edict to be issued: Appoint Liu Yu as the governor of Bingzhou!

Liu Yu obviously did not realize that he would receive such an appointment. He thought that at most he would be the governor of Bingzhou and the government affairs of Bingzhou, but he did not expect that he would be the governor of Bingzhou.

There is a big difference between the provincial governor and the governor. Not only are there different ranks of positions, but the scope of power also varies greatly. The provincial governor even includes military power. In another time and space, before Liu Yan proposed to abolish history and establish the governor, few people were appointed as the provincial governor.

It was not that Liu Yu was unwilling to do this important task, but he knew nothing about military affairs, and at this time, Bingzhou urgently needed to quell the rebellion...

However, just when Liu Yu wanted to express his concerns, Liu Hong issued another edict:

He ordered 10,000 Southern Army to be temporarily transferred to the jurisdiction of Liu, the governor of Bingzhou, to help him quickly arrive in Bingzhou to quell the rebellion.

"Do you have some concerns? But it's okay."

Liu Hong first asked Shi A to urge the eunuch to start issuing an edict, and then turned to Liu Yu and asked, as if he had already guessed about his concerns.

"I have such trust from Your Majesty, but I am not good at military affairs, and I am afraid that I will ruin Your Majesty's plan, so..."

Liu Yu also told his concerns truthfully. Leading troops to fight is not a joke. He has no experience and accumulation in this area at all. It is okay to do logistics. If you really want to lead troops personally, you will definitely confirm bad things...

However, after hearing this, Liu Hong smiled and explained to him patiently.

It was just a cover to ask Liu Yu to lead his troops. In fact, only half of the imperial guards were actually dispatched, and five thousand were elite cavalry formed by Zhang Wen in the Western Regions. In this way, it could cover up the eyes and surprise him.

"Your dear, don't worry. When you arrive in Bingzhou, just deal with government affairs, restore people's livelihood, and do a good job in the army's logistics, you will complete my entrusting. As for military affairs and quelling rebellions, you should take it in vain and secretly hand it over to Lu Zhonglang for handling."

Liu Yu was a little relieved after hearing this. He had heard of Lu Zi's talent. With this capable general of protecting Xianbei, the burden on him was slightly lighter and he could let go of his hands and feet to govern.

However, Liu Hong suddenly changed his mind and asked Liu Yu:

"When I go here, I must return the land of the Bingzhou gentry to the common people, settle the refugees, and strive to promote farming, so that they can live and work in peace and contentment as the foundation of the country. I cannot let Bingzhou take control of the gentry anymore. This is the primary priority for you to govern, so remember!"
