Liu Ye tried his best to control his emotions, making him not look so excited, but the twitching in the corners of his eyes still exposed his heart.
He came from afar, wasn't he just asking for an opportunity to show his skills?
It was just because of his identity as a royal family that he did not dare to seek the opportunity to command military forces. Even if he was proficient in military tactics, he had good martial arts skills. Seeing his friend Lu Su was about to embark on the road of becoming a marquis and becoming a general, he was both happy and envious.
Showing your body in front of the emperor is just to show that you are cheerful and open-minded, hoping to gain the trust of the emperor and not be suspicious.
If today I express my feelings to him and regard him as a trustworthy royal family, how could he be unhappy?
"Your Majesty is the king, and the minister is the minister..."
"The king and his subjects are determined by the descendants, and their bloodlines are not as good as natural." Liu Xie shook his hand. "Even if the king and his subjects should be respected, they should be respected. If the king is not a king and his subjects are not a minister, there is no peace to speak of. Haven't you heard of Mencius?
There is a saying that the king regards his ministers as earth, and the ministers regard him as enemies. I think it is very much."
Liu Ye was stunned and smiled bitterly: "I heard that Your Majesty praised Mencius for a long time. Now when I see you, it turns out to be so."
"Better than Masters, Mencius," Liu Xie said with a smile.
Born under the red flag, raised in New China, he was deeply influenced by the idea of "Royals, Princes, Generals and Prime Ministers", and had experienced the beatings of modern society. He never believed in loyalty for no reason.
All cooperation becomes a win-win situation and is destroyed by greed.
If one party wants to eat more or take more, or regards what others deserve as his own charity, no matter how good an allies are, they will turn against each other, let alone people who have nothing to do with it.
People think about the Han Dynasty, and the status of emperor is a blessing to him, but not the capital he has given him.
Therefore, he appreciates Mencius's thoughts more, the same as the king and the minister, rather than the Master's natural establishment of the natural establishment of the king and the minister always being a minister.
If he wants to get Liu Ye’s allegiance, he has to give Liu Ye what he wants. If the two sides cannot reach an agreement, it is better not to cooperate.
Liu Ye felt Liu Xie's sincerity, got up, put on his clothes, leaned over and bowed to worship.
"I, I am willing to serve Your Majesty."
Liu Xie nodded and signaled that Liu Ye would take his seat again. "Zi Yang, on the day of the revival, ministers who have meritorious can be granted marquis, and members of the royal family can be granted monarchs. However, within the territory, kings and princes cannot govern the people. Outside the territory, kings and princes can govern the country.
The government is a Han vassal state. Do you think so?"
Liu Ye's eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded and said, "I think it's OK."
"Liangzhou has a dive in the Central Plains. When the army goes east, can you guard this important place for the court?"
Liu Ye's eyelids trembled, he raised his head and looked at Liu Xie.
The emperor has always been in charge of Jincheng himself, and his emphasis on Liangzhou can be seen. Now the emperor wants to lead his troops to the east and entrust Jincheng to him, so he naturally has to be cautious.
If you guard the Jincheng well, you can be crowned as king in the future. This is the emperor's promise.
In addition, the previous monarch and ministers got along with each other with courtesy and did not invade each other, which was the highest reward the emperor could give him.
Even as a royal family, this far exceeded his expectations.
"I can do it." Liu Ye said firmly.
Although he could not follow the emperor to the east and lost the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, he was the only one who was such a heavy responsibility.
"Very kind." Liu Xie smiled with satisfaction and reached out to pat Liu Ye on the shoulder. "You can't be idle even in Jincheng. Read more and think more. When I pacify the world, you and I will discuss the rituals of the Han family again.
.The king and his subjects work together to create a new era.”
"only."
A few days later, Yan Xing received an edict and handed over military affairs to Zhou Fang and rushed back to Jincheng.
Liu Xie introduced Liu Ye to Yan Xing and discussed the relevant handling principles of government affairs and military affairs in Liangzhou during the army's eastward departure.
Liu Ye was well prepared and talked freely.
He suggested that the court add Hexi Commander, focusing on the four counties in Hexi, stationed in Jiuquan, and support each other with the Western Commander stationed in Jincheng and the Qiang Guardian in Lingzhou.
These three commanders guard three business roads, leading to the West Sea, the Western Regions, and outside the Frontier, can ensure the smooth flow of business roads as much as possible, and propose a certain proportion of business taxes to fully cover the military expenses.
When conditions are ripe in the future, the three states plan proposed by Jia Xu can be implemented.
In order to promote education, schools were also set up in Jiuquan and Lingzhou to recruit children of the people. After the school was completed, some entered the court, some were engaged in military and political affairs locally, and were responsible for county officials and generals.
With fifty people graduating every year, ten years later, at least half of the officials at the county level are newcomers who have received education, and the imperial court's government orders will be issued more smoothly.
In order to facilitate education, Liu Ye also suggested setting up paper workshops, book printing workshops and publishing books in Jincheng, Jiuquan and Lingzhou to open up people's wisdom.
After hearing this, Yan Xing expressed his strong agreement with Liu Ye.
If this plan can be implemented smoothly, Liangzhou will have enough foundation before the world is peaceful, so there is no need to worry about being quickly overtaken by Shandong.
Liu Xie immediately ordered Liu Ye to serve as the military advisor of the Central Military Commission to assist Yan Xing in governing Liangzhou, and to supervise the Qiang School Captain and the Hexi Metropolitan Commander.
In fact, Liu Ye is already the real and nameless governor of Liangzhou, and has great power.
With the recommendation of Zhao Yun, Hao Zhao was appointed as the commander of Hexi and Zhao Ang was the chief secretary.
Liu Xie selected several people from the doctoral students who accompanied the camp and arranged them to Hexi and Lingzhou to set up schools.
In the late July, Liu Xie set off and rushed to Guanzhong.
Several edicts were sent to various departments by fast horses.
Yang Xiu received the edict and rushed to the county border to greet the officials from the Hanyang Prefectural Palace.
After not seeing each other for two years, Liu Xie changed his appearance, and Yang Xiu was no longer a white-faced scholar. His face was slightly dark, his cheeks were red, and his voice was loud, as if he was a rough and rough Liangzhou man.
"Da Zu, why don't you come here?" Liu Xie looked at Yang Xiu with a smile, feeling very good.
Although he had not met Yang Xiu for two years, they often communicated with each other. Wang Yi, Zhao Ang and others also often had news with their families. He knew Yang Xiu's achievements in Hanyang.
"Thank you for your concern, I am so happy." Yang Xiu also looked at Liu Xie and sighed. After two years of not seeing each other, Liu Xie has grown much taller, and he can no longer see how young people are young. The eyebrows and eyes are calm and quiet, and every move is happening.
They all have the temperament of emperors.
"How many infantry and cavalry will Hanyang Energy provide during this Eastern Expedition?"
Yang Xiu swept and waved, called Jiang Xu and Yang Fu to come forward, and introduced them separately. "Your Majesty, they are Hanyang Wei and military advisors, and will command 3,000 Han Qiang cavalry and follow Your Majesty to the east to fight."
Jiang Xu and Yang Fu have received the news that Zhao Ang, who was working in the process of serving, had just been appointed as the chief officer of the Hexi Commander and jumped into the Qianshi Officer, which made them envious. When they learned that the emperor was fighting in the east, they immediately found Yang.
Xiu, hope to lead the county soldiers to accompany him.
Yang Xiu readily agreed to them.
He was about to send these two people out, but he couldn't seem too proactive. The emperor's Eastern Expedition was an excellent opportunity.
He was not Jiang Xu, Yang Fu, and he thought there would be a great war in this Eastern Expedition and had a chance to make meritorious contributions. He knew very well that the emperor went east to show the situation and the possibility of a great war was extremely low. Jiang Xu, Yang Fu would only follow the emperor at most
Take a trip.
Seeing Jiang Xu, Yang Fu looked excited, and Liu Xie smiled and looked at Yang Xiu.
Yang Xiu grinned and bowed to him.
Jiang Xu, Yang Fu didn't know what to do, and he thought the emperor refused. Yang Xiu was pleading for them, so he couldn't help but feel uneasy and his heart beat faster.
