"The husband built it on the temple, and then it rushed thousands of miles away." Lu's Spring and Autumn Announcement
"I just think about the country." Zhou Yu said neither humble nor arrogant: "Now that the world has finally decided, it is time to gather people's hearts and work together for eternal prosperity. Your Majesty will naturally treat everyone equally, without distinction between inside and outside."
Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Zhou Yu bowed his head and said, "I still remember that a few years ago I went to the north of the city incognito with your majesty and chatted about the world by the Wei River. I am willing to help your majesty, but how can I be the only person your majesty needs?"
As he spoke, he quietly raised his head and looked at the emperor.
"Forget it, it's up to you." Soon the emperor sighed and said under Zhou Yu's sincere eyes: "Although Sun Ce made great achievements this time, his control over his relatives was not strict, which caused Sun Hao and others to flee. But it is a fact. Transfer him to Shuofang, replace Duan Xuan, and temporarily serve as the general of Liao Dynasty. Later, he will correct his achievements. Regarding the matter here, I still have Lao Gongjin to declare the edict and make my meaning clear. The world has a selfless army. , In the future, there will be no one in the army. Others can let go, but he can't?"
"Your Majesty." Zhou Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief and prostrated himself.
General Du Liao can almost be regarded as the head of the miscellaneous generals, followed by the important generals of Si'an and Siping. Sun Ce's ability to obtain this position was finally worthy of Zhou Yu's efforts.
The emperor waved his hand and said: "The previous agreement is still true. Lu Fan will be appointed as the county governor, Huang Gai will be transferred to Ju Jun's command, and Yunnan will be newly established and he will be made the governor. Sun Ce will only take Chen Wu and Zhu Zhi to the north. Let Sun Ben serve as the governor of Nanzhong. This battle has made the Sun family famous among the barbarians in Nanzhong, so it is appropriate to leave Sun Ben to guard Nanzhong."
Zhou Yu thanked him again but did not dare to stay and quickly left.
After two days, the imperial edicts came out one by one. After the south was completely stabilized, General Xu Huang, who conquered the South, would also give up his military power and go to Chang'an alone to serve as General Wei. General Ju Jun of Annan was promoted to General Pingnan. , was about to lead his army south to open up territory. Although the imperial court criticized the conquest of barren land, the emperor's authority was now at its peak, and no one questioned it for a while.
After Zhou Yu saw Duan Xuan being promoted to General Anxi and Sun Ce being transferred to the north, he felt relieved and urged Cang Tou to prepare his luggage and head south as soon as possible.
"See how anxious you are, what kind of person is Sun Bofu?" Princess Liu Jiang couldn't help but asked curiously.
"The heroic figure is unparalleled in this world." Zhou Yu said briefly.
Liu Jiang had doubts in his heart, and then he remembered that he saw Sun Ce's eldest son, Sun Shao, who was living in the house every day and had mediocre qualifications. He felt that Zhou Yu was exaggerating.
At this time, Lu Meng, Ling Tong and others came. When they heard that Zhou Yu was going south in the near future, they also wanted to follow him, firstly to see their old friends in the army, and secondly to see if there was any more fighting in the south. They were not satisfied with this. He already had merit, but after expressing this idea again, Zhou Yu denied it: "Where are your old friends in the army! You were lucky enough to make meritorious service in Lantian this time and were able to join the Northern Army. Then the elite soldiers of the Northern Army will be your old friends. If you are in the future, If you still hold such thoughts, then that’s all you will do from now on.”
"But..." Ling Tong took half a step forward and was about to speak, but was stopped by Lu Meng and said no more.
Zhou Yu sent the two of them back, and then looked at the edict ordering him to set off. Liu Jiang came over to take a look, and said with a smile: "I knew your trip would not be that simple. Take Wuguan Road to Jingzhou to express condolences to Xu Huang and other soldiers must first go to Jiangxia to greet Huang Gong, and then go to Nanzhong... What will Zhou Lang say when he sees Huang Gong?"
"The Wuling barbarians have been peaceful for a long time. Suddenly they broke into chaos. More than a thousand people surrounded the county. The counties in Jingnan were shaken and restless, and the south and middle areas responded in droves." Zhou Yu sighed and said, "Although no one is making unreasonable opinions, I can't hold people back."
Everyone is meddlesome, who wouldn't make secret guesses?" He moved his eyes to the distance and said softly: "This time, Your Majesty ordered me to see Mr. Huang, not only to visit, but also to warn."
"The wealthy people in Hebei rebelled, and the barbarians in the south rebelled. If Shanyue had not been pacified a few years ago, it would have become even more difficult to deal with. The imperial court wanted to abolish Wubao and ban private soldiers, so some people couldn't sit still and tried to use military force to coerce the imperial court.
." Liu Jiang said coldly: "In my opinion, the emperor should ban them early, otherwise in the future, no matter how good a plan is to be implemented, they will often resort to war. How can this be so great? When Zhou Lang returned to Jingzhou, he was not only fighting with Huang.
When you meet in public, you must overwhelm the powerful people."
Zhou Yu naturally knew that the emperor wanted him to go south as a firm supporter of the New Deal. While admonishing Huang Wan, he should also draw a clear line with these stubborn old wealthy families. However, he had to grasp Huang Wan's sense of proportion.
, otherwise it would be bad if Huang Wan mistakenly connected himself with Wang Yun's situation and committed suicide first.
"And." Liu Jiang pulled Zhou Yu to sit down, looked at the rockery pond outside the pavilion, and said softly: "You value Sun Ce and want to use him as a support, and I won't stop you. Now that His Majesty is no longer
If you still have suspicions, if you want to be regarded as a confidant like Xu Huang and Zhang Liao, I think you have to do one more thing, Zhou Lang."
Zhou Yu vaguely had the answer in his heart, but instead asked: "What?"
"What else could it be? Your Majesty is in his prime, will these be the only people in Yeting from now on?" Liu Jiang glanced at the other party, and then said: "That Qiao family in the house was sent by Sun Ce to marry you.
As a brother-in-law, you can't bear it now, why not dedicate it to His Majesty? The story of how he will become the Wei family in the future is still unknown."
Zhou Yu has never been close to Xiaoqiao in these years, largely because of Liu Jiang's attitude. He knew that Xiaoqiao's status in the house was embarrassing, and Liu Jiang was also wary of Xiaoqiao. Now if he was sent to the palace, or...
It's really the best of both worlds.
Not only can he deepen his relationship with the emperor and Sun Ce, making Sun Ce become the emperor's confidant, but he can also get rid of the Qiao family as soon as possible. Although the other party is in line with Zhou Yu's preferences in many aspects, it cannot affect the relationship between Zhou Yu and Liu Jiang.
"This is a good idea." Under Liu Jiang's gaze, Zhou Yu gave a clear reply.
Liu Jiang was satisfied and nodded slightly. In fact, she had planned this idea a long time ago. Dedicating the Qiao family to the emperor would kill two birds with one stone for Zhou Yu, and how about Liu Jiang herself?
After Zhou Yu set off southward with the imperial edict, the imperial court selected an auspicious day and officially appointed the prince Liu as the crown prince. In order to calm people's hearts, they also issued an imperial edict and began to comprehensively implement the Hedong New Deal, setting up Cao Cao in each county and county in accordance with the imperial court.
, carry out central vertical management, restrict local examination and recruitment, and make recruitment through imperial examinations the mainstream.
Under the New Deal, scholars in both the government and the public were overwhelmed with a series of major events. But what seemed to have nothing to do with Zhou Yu comforting his veteran minister Huang Wan in Jingzhou was that Du Ji, the governor of Hedong, was promoted to the governor of Qingzhou in a low-key manner, and Cai Mao, the original governor, was promoted to the captain of the Henghai School of Donglai.
