"My ministers should try their best to make meritorious service to the country, and the king will repay it with honors and honors. Therefore, all my ministers should try their best to make meritorious service. This will ensure that the country is safe and the king is at peace."
In the spring of the fourth year of Chuping, Situ Ma Rixi met for the last time on behalf of the emperor at the Chengming Palace with the envoys sent to the DPRK from the Kanto prefectures, counties, and vassal states, including Shangji and others. They had a friendly negotiation and expressed gentle words of comfort. , Ma Rixi repeatedly used the content of the Emperor's "Edict of Sinning in the Gaomiao" to warn everyone. If all the gentlemen are to be "loyal and good, then they should serve the country with all their heart and relieve me of the blame." I'm guilty'.
Everyone was just saying yes, saying that they would inform all parts of Guandong about the current situation of the imperial court, and urge the officials to abide by their loyalty and be diligent in the king's affairs. Ma Rixi was particularly pleased with this, and expressed on the spot that he would uphold the righteousness of the emperor and the ministers of the various places. To reduce the risk of swordsmanship, as for whether they believe each other or not, if a few words are true, then only each other knows it well.
Before the envoy left, after some discussion between the emperor and Ma Rixi and others, they finally formally finalized the official and title rewards for the princes of Guandong:
First, the Jing'an area was used to comfort and recite merits with the court angels. The former general Zhu Jun envoyed the governor of Yuzhou and was temporarily stationed in Henan; the latter general Yuan Shu was granted the title of Wuhou for the holidays; Sun Zan, the shepherd of Youzhou, paid homage to General Zhenbei; the prime minister of Dongping Cao Cao changed his homage to General Pingdong and supervised the military affairs of Yanzhou; General Wei Lu Bu became homage to General Anhan and guarded Beihai.
Then he sent envoys to challenge Dong and recorded achievements by transporting money and grain to the imperial court. Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, entered Xuzhou for pastoral care and paid homage to General Zhendong; Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, entered Jingzhou for pastoral care and paid homage to General Zhennan.
Finally, there was the appointment of some vacant county governors, such as the appointment of Zhao Yu, the envoy of the Xuzhou Dynasty, as the prefect of Guangling, Ding Chong, the minister of Huangmen, who was moved to the prime minister of Jibei, Sima Xunyu of the other department, who was appointed the prime minister of Dongping, and Liu Bei, the prime minister of Pingyuan, who was moved to Qi State. wait.
Even so, the imperial court's reward still had shortcomings of one sort or another, and even some oversights that should not have been committed.
For example, the imperial court ignored Tao Qian's attempts to use force to test Yanzhou from time to time, and the imperial court did not clearly specify Yuan Shu's station as a post-general, and turned a blind eye to his invasion of Chenliu. Even though Zhu Jun was appointed governor of Yuzhou, he did not The imperial court had no intention of letting him go south to act as a buffer between Yuan Shu and Cao Cao. More importantly, as for the post of Qingzhou governor, the imperial court never arranged for anyone to take up the post, let alone strengthened the private governorship of Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao. , as if intentionally ignored.
In short, this time the personnel adjustment seemed to be made by the imperial court, clarifying their respective spheres of influence, temporarily easing the political situation in Kanto that had been chaotic for several years, and re-establishing the legitimacy and authority of the imperial court, but it still left a lot of problems. There are many controversial places. These controversial places may seem like trivial flaws, but these flaws will trigger a terrifying turmoil when a suitable opportunity comes.
Of course, in the emperor's mind, it is best to keep the chaotic situation in Guandong like this. After he completely conquers Bing, Liang, and even Yizhou, he can march out of Hangu and bring peace to the world!
After receiving the reward, everyone returned one by one. At this time, Lou Gui, the envoy sent by Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, secretly reported the matter and told Liu Yan, the shepherd of Yizhou, that he had secretly built thousands of carriages and had evil intentions. Lou Gui thought that the emperor would You can express any kind of expression to Liu Yan, even publicly reproach Liu Yan for not sending an envoy to congratulate him this time, but this letter is like a cow in the sea, and there is no news.
Lou Gui deliberately stayed in Chang'an for two more days. After realizing that the emperor had never made any statement, he left with full of doubts and angrily. But he did not know that this seal would play a key role when necessary.
.
After seeing off Lou Gui and a group of envoys from Guandong, the emperor met with the Qiang and Hu tribe chiefs from Liangzhou, Feng Yi and other places at the White Tiger Palace, and urged each tribe to keep its people safe and not to intrude without authorization.
When summoning King Youxian of the Xiongnu to Bei with Liu Yu, the governor of Bingzhou, Xun You, and others, the emperor fondly reviewed the history of friendly exchanges between Han and Huns over the past century. He said that the friendship between Han and Huns has a long history and is deeply rooted. It dates back to many years ago.
The Huns once contributed to the Han Dynasty's war to quell the rebellion. Under the care and cultivation of the Han emperors and court ministers of the past generations, the relationship between Han and Huns developed healthily. Each generation of Xiongnu chanyus devoted their wisdom and loyalty to the Han Dynasty.
Serve.
King Youxian went to Bei and said that this time he rushed to Bingzhou with Liu Yu, the governor of Bingzhou, and he would try his best to recruit the various tribes of the southern Xiongnu and make them join the imperial court.
The emperor immediately granted King Youxian the right to supervise the country in the court of the Huns, and specifically allowed his son Mengsun to attend Taixue, and ordered him to rush to Bingzhou with Liu Yu to establish merit for the imperial court.
Bingzhou, Taiyuan County, Jiexiu County.
In mid-spring, yellow buds begin to sprout on the willow branches on both sides of the Fen River. The water is calm and the breeze is gentle.
A group of dozens of chariots and horses, the governor's banner and honor guard, and hundreds of horsemen stood solemnly beside the abandoned and dilapidated post pavilion.
The first person was none other than the newly appointed governor of Bingzhou, Marquis of Xiangben Liu Yu. The theory of the Five Elements was widely spread in the Han Dynasty. From the imperial court to the wealthy families, they all wore clothes of different colors in different seasons to conform to the concept of the five elements' interdependence. At this time
It was spring, so Liu Yu wore a blue gauze robe and stood outside the pavilion.
Standing slightly offset by half a step to his left and right, one is the new Taiyuan governor, the younger brother of Langxie King Liu Rong, Yangdu Marquis Liu Miao; the other is the former Qiang guard and current guard of the Xiongnu Zhonglang general Xia Yu;
Yangling Sima Lang and the old official Wei Dun who had followed Liu Yu from Youzhou and others stood behind.
Standing in front of them were another group of Bingzhou officials whom the imperial court paid homage to this time, including the newly appointed Shangdang Governor Luo Jun, General Du Liao Duan Xuan, and General Zhang Liao Dian Nong Zhonglang.
Xia Yu once served as Sima under Duan Jiong and was a very influential general in the Han Dynasty's campaign to conquer the Qiang. However, his political career had ups and downs. In the sixth year of Xiping, Emperor Xiaoling was a provocateur and rashly attacked Xianbei without any in-depth planning.
The war broke out, which resulted in Xia Yu, Zang Min and others being deposed as commoners. It was not until seven years later that the Qiang Hu and Han Sui in the north invaded Longyou. The imperial court valued Xia Yu's bravery in conquering the Qiang.
Then he was re-appointed as the captain of the Qiang Protector. However, he was dismissed again because he failed to use tactics well, which led to the defeat of the war.
Nowadays, among the descendants of Sanming in Liangzhou, in terms of status, power, and fame, Huangfu Song is the leader for a while. Zhang Huan's two sons, Zhang Chang and Zhang Meng, are favored by the emperor. Huangfu Song only has friendship with them, but there is no room for win over them.
.But Duan Xuan, a member of Duan Jue's clan, and Xia Yu, his former subordinate, are different. One is a surrendered general with a history of joining the rebellion, and the other is a veteran who has been gradually marginalized. Without Huangfusong's support, I am afraid that their current situation will be
Extremely depressed.
Since Huangfu Li was not good at military affairs and the emperor did not give him the opportunity to lead troops, Huangfu Song has been using his prestige to promote these old generals in order to continue his power in the army and protect his legacy.
Being able to leave a share of power to Huangfu Li was a method used by a noble family to preserve themselves and continue their prosperity.
Duan Xuan was good at being a man, and was knowledgeable in both military and civil affairs. Xia Yu was familiar with Hu Qing. Although he was not good at military planning, he had a reputation for bravery. He was the most suitable candidate to guard Bingzhou at the moment. The emperor was originally satisfied with these two candidates, so he took advantage of the opportunity.
This allowed Huangfu Song to take the initiative to abdicate, so as not to chill the opponent.
Duan Xuan, the general of the Liao Dynasty, was originally a Zhonglang general who protected the Xiongnu and was stationed in Shangdang. This time he was appointed as the general of the Liao Dynasty and was ordered to be stationed in Xihe County. Therefore, he found out the news of the arrival of Liu Yu and others in advance and waited at Jiexiu.
handover.
"I already know the situation in Taiyuan." Liu Yu looked at the valley in the distance, with a bit of excitement and high morale hidden in his seemingly calm expression: "Don't forget the responsibilities you bear, and don't forget
Who gave you the power and position you have now!"
Before the powerful locals in Jiexiu could come to greet them, Liu Yu took advantage of the fact that there were no outsiders around and said loudly: "When I go to Bingzhou now, I must obey my orders carefully. I am the master in everything. If there is any partiality, it will be up to me."
bear!"
Duan Xuan and Luo Jun looked at each other and felt that these words were a bit incomprehensible, but it did not prevent them from agreeing with the official in name and in reality. Although Xia Yu was confused, fortunately, he was reminded by Huangfu Song before he came.
Guan Jun just doesn't get involved in politics.
Only Zhang Liao and Sima Lang's eyes lit up, and they were the loudest and most confident among the crowd. They said: "We will live up to the country and make you hope!"
Then came the roaring promise from the cavalry guards.
Liu Yu nodded slightly, cupped his hands to Duan Xuan and others and said, "Please follow me, everyone, and go to your respective places. Don't send us off."
With confident and encouraging eyes, he looked at Duan Xuan, who was about to go to Xihe County, and Luo Jun, Zhang Liao and others who were going to Shangdang County. Wherever he looked, everyone nodded in response, full of ambition and high spirits.
These behaviors and confessions before leaving do not look like a Beijing official taking office and welcoming him all the way; rather, it looks like a large army dividing its troops in four directions, going deep into the enemy's territory and attacking the city.
They are all chess pieces, arranged for the emperor to stir up the general trend of the party.
As for whether the chess pieces will have their own thoughts and whether they will make mistakes, it all depends on each other's chess skills.
Liu Yu, Liu Miao, Sima Lang, Wei Dun and others stood there and watched them lead the team in different directions until they gradually disappeared at the end of the sky. Then they smiled at each other and prepared to leave for the border.
Leave the county seat, prepare to face what you have to face, and go meet the powerful Bingzhou officials for a while.
Note: Chen Guoxiang at this time should be Xu Jue or Yuan Si. The former participated in the fight against Dong as Chen Xiang in the first year of Chuping, the latter fought for Cao Cao in the first year of Jian'an, and Luo Jun first appeared as Chen Xiang.
It was in the second year of Jian'an. Based on this, we can deduce the order of Xu Jue - Yuan Si - Luo Jun. Among them, Yuan Si was installed by Yuan Shu, and Luo Jun should be installed by the Xudu court, so Luo Jun should be the minister in the court at this moment.
Lang was worshiped as the prefect in the book at this time.
