Chengdu.
Hanzhong Prince's Mansion.
Three days have passed since the 20th year of Jian'an.
The dynasty is the beginning of the new year. According to the court system, Chengdu and all prefectures and counties held grand ceremonies. Because it was the first time since Duke Xuande was the King of Hanzhong to celebrate the dynasty, the subordinate ministers also gathered at the Hanzhong Palace with extremely high etiquette to congratulate him. In addition, there were Yizhou and the dependent barbarians in Jingzhou also sent gifts during the season.
The people who formulated the etiquette were still Xu Ci, Meng Guang and others, but those who were interested could feel that there were actually quite a bit of arrogance in the entire etiquette. This was no longer the celebration of the princes and kings, but the scale of the dynasty meeting hosted by the emperor. The King of Hanzhong already had the foundation of the emperor. No one accused usurping the situation in this way, but instead made everyone feel turbulent and further determined the ambition of the lord.
Previously, there were also people in Jingzhou and Yizhou who intended to offer auspiciousness or prophecies and spiritual maps, but were suppressed by military advisor Zhuge Liang. Therefore, the court only provided some promotions and dispatches to show their happiness.
What is more interesting is that under the instigation of the new Hujing Man Commander Li Yan, the leader of the Wuxi Man tribe, Shamoke, brought a generous gift to Chengdu to pay homage to the King of Hanzhong, and expressed his willingness to join the Wuxi Man tribe with more than 10,000.
This kind of attachment cannot be true, but it is indeed a good propaganda material in politics. Therefore, when Shamoko recited the memorial form with intentions at the celebration, the King of Hanzhong gave a heavy reward accordingly.
First, Shamoke was officially awarded the title of "Wuxi Barbarian King". Secondly, Qishan County in Yidu County, Lingyang County and Chong County in Wuling County were designated. Shaqu County was established west of Qishan, and Qingzhong County was established west of Lingyang. The five counties were combined and set up as Qishan County, with Shamoke as the prefect of Qishan.
A few days after the dynasty meeting, the whole of Chengdu was still immersed in a state of joy. Because the King of Hanzhong also rewarded officials and fellow villagers with meat, the atmosphere among the people was also very pleasant. Most officials had three and five days off, and they also took this opportunity to hold a high-end party with their families.
But the central ministers of the Hanzhong Palace were not slackening.
For example, Zhuge Liang, the military general, came to work as usual the next day as the official, and the office area that belonged to him quickly became lively.
After Xuande Gong promoted to the Hanzhong King, the original Yizhou Muslim Mansion was no longer sufficient, so after another expansion, the Zhao Yun Mansion, which originally occupied the northwest corner and the Chen Dao Mansion, which originally occupied the northwest corner respectively. Although Zhao Yun and Chen Dao moved, the new mansion was still located in the northwest corner and the southeast corner respectively, and the pattern of protecting the Hanzhong Prince's Mansion remained unchanged.
Chen Dao's mansion, originally in the southeast corner, has become a dedicated office space for two military advisors and generals after a brief adjustment.
When Zhuge Liang was in the public security, because the city was small, he had to work in the same room with Liao Li and Pan Jun. Later, he went to Jiangling and Chengdu, and shared the room with Pang Tong, Ma Liang, Xi Zhen and others for a long time. After Duke Xuande was promoted to King of Hanzhong, although he did not promote Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, he had a special official temple for them.
The other courtyard has several houses, including the houses of the low-level officials, the dedicated auditorium and the offices of the officials of the Hanzhong Palace and even the officials of various counties and states. Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong also obtained a large, open and bright hall.
Officials all knew that this was a special demonstration of respect by Duke Xuande, so many people called this villa in the southeast corner of the Hanzhong Palace the General's Mansion.
Zhuge Liang did not force it, but since the King of Hanzhong intended to do so, he did not refuse.
Not long after he entered the big house, a large number of documents, files and maps gradually filled the four walls. He took out several mechanical sketches and astronomical images that he had hung on the wall to recreate, and retreated little by little, and finally was rolled up one day and stuffed back into the bookshelf in the corner of the room.
At this time, Zhuge Liang was sending Liu Ba out.
Because of the chaos and chaos, there were many small money in various places, which had a lot of adverse impact on the economy of Jingyi and the two places, and it also hindered the raising of military war preparedness materials. Therefore, since the second half of last year, the King of Hanzhong has intentionally imitated Emperor Wu, reclaimed the right to mint coins, unified the minting of new coins and issued them to the world, and set up a special agency to manage related affairs.
The person responsible for this task was Liu Ba. Therefore, Liu Ba has frequently traveled between the princes of Hanzhong Palace and the general's mansion.
The two talked and laughed side by side, passing by a pond that seemed to be about to build thin ice, and bypassed a water pavilion on the edge of the pond. Liu Ba stopped and bowed and said, "Military advisor, please stay."
Zhuge Liang smiled: "Thank you for your hard work."
Liu Ba turned around and walked a few steps. Zhuge Liang raised his voice slightly: "Zi Chu, suddenly I remembered that there was something else."
"Military advisor, please speak."
Zhuge Liang walked slowly and said casually: "Zichu, I heard about you and General Zhang."
"Oh." Liu Ba's expressionless face.
"Although General Zhang is a rude military man, he has always admired such a noble man. The King of Hanzhong now unites the world's civil and military heroes and wants to make up a major event. Although Tiansu is tall and bright, you might as well... you might as well give in a little bit of a predicament?"
Liu Ba pondered for a moment.
Since he was in Jingzhou, he had never been with Duke Xuande. When Cao Cao invaded the south, Duke Xuande and the scholars of Jingzhou fled south together, but Liu Ba went north to rely on Cao Cao. Later, he was ordered by Cao Cao to go south to recruit Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang, but he was about to run into Duke Xuande to seize Jingnan. Zhuge Liang specifically tried to keep him, but Liu Ba resolutely fled to Jiaozhi, intending to go north from Jiaozhi to Yizhou, and then return to the Central Plains to join Duke Cao.
Who would have thought that luck would make people? Liu Ba arrived in Yizhou and Duke Xuande also came. Now Liu Ba had no choice but to respond to the recruitment and became the Minister of the Hanzhong Kingdom from the Grand Sima Xicao. Despite this, he knew that the process of surrender was different from that of others, and he was worried that he would be suspicious of his colleagues, so he deliberately avoided personal relationships and kept a distance from all the ministers under the Hanzhong King.
Why is Zhang Fei an exception?
Thinking of this, Liu Ba said, "When a real man is in a world, he should be a hero from all over the world. How to deal with..."
After saying a little, Ma Su hurried over from the front: "Military advisor! Military advisor! Jiaozhou urgently reported!"
Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows and Liu Ba bowed: "Military advisor, I will say goodbye first."
Zhuge Liang was not able to forcefully continue the topic, so he sent Liu Ba a few more steps and then returned: "What do you say in the military newspaper?"
Ma Su presented the document with both hands: "Jiaozhou is pacified."
Zhuge Liang was not surprised.
He took the document and looked at it, quickly turning back into the hall.
Ma Su followed closely. As soon as Zhuge Liang sat down, he spread the Jiaozhou map on the desk like lightning.
The map is not big, but the signs of each county and country are very clear. Zhuge Liang reached out and gently tapped the map, and said, "Xuzhi is in Cangwu County, Shuqi is in Nanhai County, and Bomiao is in Yulin County."
He picked up his pen and wrote the names of the county magistrates on these three counties and states. He paused and continued: "Guo was in Hepu County, Yiliao was in Gaoliang County, Qian Bo was in Linchen County, Shizhi was in Jiaozhi County, and the district and the scenery were both Jiuzhen and Rinan County."
Ma Su bowed and said nothing.
He felt that he could guess what Zhuge Liang meant, so he was even more afraid to say more. Somehow, his forehead was a little sweaty.
The King of Hanzhong appointed Lei Yuan as the left general, and held the Jie Dong to supervise Jiaozhou, and granted full authority to control Jiaozhou. Among the generals under the King of Hanzhong, Lei Yuan's authority was only under Guan Yu.
Although Guan Yu was in charge of Jiaozhou, he entrusted most of his political affairs to the Jingzhou Zhizhong, where Liudian Prefecture affairs, and rarely directly interfered in personnel appointments. The personnel dispatch he personally issued was mainly aimed at the Yuan Governors who remained in Jingzhou by Duke Xuande.
In the past two months, Lei Yuan has made a statement one after another, recommending four prefects, one Suinan General and Prefect... These people are naturally suitable for important positions, and the King of Hanzhong agreed without any obstacles. But Lei Yuan was really bold and decisive.
