Chapter 376 The Yizhou division has the spirit of the emperor
Zhang Rang's opinion made Liu Hong helpless.
"Is this already the best strategy?"
Zhang Rang nodded helplessly.
"As of now, there is really no better choice, unless His Majesty decides to pay."
It is impossible to pay for it. It is impossible to pay for it in this life. It is his own money. He can use it for his own enjoyment. How can he use it to deal with state affairs and those insects?
Even apart from the money, who knows how much money will be embezzled by the insects?
Rounding up is not equivalent to using his money to feed those greedy insects?
He was not willing to do such a thing.
So Liu Hong half leaned on the cushion, frowned and thought hard for a while, then relaxed his brow and lay down on the cushion.
"Forget it, I'm tired. I really don't have the energy to think about this anymore. Let's just follow what he said. Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou are the three prefectures."
"So, where is the candidate?"
Zhang Rang asked: "You must be careful when selecting a state pastor. Who do you think your majesty thinks can hold the position of state pastor?"
"Liu Yan's words are conclusive. He must be one of them. There are not many reliable elders in my clan. The most trustworthy one is Liu Yu. He is also one of them."
Liu Hong counted on his fingers and said slowly: "It seems that they are the only clan members with high moral standing and qualifications. The rest...Grandpa, what do you think of Huang Wan?"
"Huang Wan?"
Zhang Rang frowned and said: "This man is too close to the Yang family, and has always had a bad relationship with us. From the perspective of the Jinwen school, he has never been willing to consider your majesty. How could your majesty think of him?"
"
"Isn't it that Mr. Yuan is aggressive?"
Liu Hong said dissatisfied: "Of course I don't like him, but apart from him, there is no better candidate. Lu Zhi seems to be unable to fight against Yuan Wei. Yang Biao is still observing filial piety. I remember that Huang Wan is quite
If he can achieve great results as a state pastor, I can promote him to fight against Yuan Wei after he comes back, right?"
Zhang Rang suddenly realized.
"Your Majesty is thoughtful and thoughtful, and I admire him."
"Okay, okay, there's no point in saying this."
Liu Hong shook his head: "I'm very satisfied if they can put down these rebellions. I don't dare to hope for this. Alas, I won't be so worried here. Grandpa, what do you think is going on there?
When can we come back?"
Zhang Rang shook his head.
"What he is doing now is the most meaningful thing to you. If you let him come back, all your previous efforts will be wasted."
"……………………"
Liu Hong's body collapsed on the ground and he sighed.
"Ah, ah, why is there only one!"
Liu Hong has struggled with this question countless times, and Zhang Rang has no answer.
The news that Liu Yan visited Liu Hong and asked Lizhou Mu to solve the problem spread quickly. Many courtiers heard about it and started talking about it.
After the servant Dong Fu heard about this incident, he decisively decided to visit Liu Yan.
When Liu Yan heard that Dong Fu was coming to visit him, he quickly went out to greet him in person.
As a descendant of the clan, Liu Yan had a higher official position than Dong Fu in the rank of Jiuqing, but when Dong Fu came to visit, he had to greet him in person and keep a low profile.
The reason is very simple. Dong Fu is a famous person in the world, and he is already eighty years old this year.
In this country that respects the old and loves the young, and in an era where the average life expectancy is extremely low, being able to live to the age of eighty is an extraordinary thing, not to mention that a person who lives to the age of eighty is still a famous person.
There are scholars and prophets all over the world.
He was a native of Yizhou. Because he lived a long life and raised his family to a level that was unmatched by the world, he refused to be summoned by the imperial court ten times. It was not until his old age that he accepted the imperial summons and came to Sichuan to serve as an official.
Even Liu Hong had to be polite in front of him.
He was famous for his classics and prophecies, and he had many disciples who studied under him.
It is difficult for modern people to understand why the theory of prophecy was so popular at that time. A vague sentence "The person who represents the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gaoye" can arouse the attention of the whole world. Even the founding emperor Liu Xiu personally defended the prophecy.
the status of doctrine.
If something is good at the top, people below will naturally follow.
Not to mention that Liu Xiu believed in the prophecies to the point where ministers who did not believe in the prophecies would be denounced. It was quite like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposing hundreds of schools of thought and only respecting Confucianism.
The founding emperor believed so, and prophecy theory naturally became popular in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
A large number of fortune-telling magicians who established themselves in prophecy science came into being. The Eastern Han Dynasty, which was disturbed by various prophecies, was not peaceful even after death, and it also caused endless debates in later generations.
True or false, false or false, whether these things are true or false has no meaning to modern people, but to the ancients, prophecies can change their destiny.
So Dong Fu came to visit, and Liu Yan was very happy.
Carefully helping Dong Fu sit down, Liu Yan quickly asked someone to pour water for Dong Fu. After Dong Fu took a sip of water, Liu Yan carefully asked Dong Fu why he was here.
"What are you here for?"
"I heard that Jun Lang proposed to His Majesty the Emperor to restore the state pastoral system?"
Dong Fu did not speak directly, but instead asked about things related to Liu Yan.
Liu Yan didn't think it was strange. Dong Fu held the position of servant, so it was strange that he didn't know about it.
"That's right. What do you think, Mr. Dong?"
"I wonder if Jun Lang has ever imagined that he would also be appointed as a state pastor?"
Dong Fu looked at Liu Yan with a smile.
Liu Yan's face froze and he said cautiously: "Did Mr. Dong foresee it?"
Dong Fu shook his head.
"It's just a guess, and I think it's very possible. I wonder if Jun Lang has ever thought about which state has the best state pastor if he serves as a state pastor?"
"which one……"
Liu Yan pursed his lips and said slowly: "If it were me, I would choose to ask the imperial court to be appointed as Cochin Shepherd. Only in this way can I protect myself and my family. The world is in turmoil. I don't know when it will end."
"Cochin?"
Dong Fu asked with a smile: "What's good about Jiaozhi? It's hot, miasmatic, and uncivilized. The taxation of one state is not as good as the taxation of some large counties in the Central Plains. What's the use of it?"
"ah?"
Liu Yan was very surprised.
He didn't expect Dong Fu to say this.
"Dong Gong means..."
"The land of Yizhou has thousands of miles of fertile soil inside and dangerous mountains and rivers outside. Although the population is not as large as that of the Central Plains, it is still much larger than that of Jiaozhi. The roads are difficult to travel and the traffic is blocked. No matter what happens, the court cannot get it quickly.
Know."
Dong Fu grinned, and his smile was a little naughty: "Jun Lang, do you know that last night I watched the sky at night and found that there was..."
Dong Fu waved Liu Yan over, and Liu Yan stretched out his ear in a daze, and heard Dong Fu say in a very low voice: "Yizhou Branch has the spirit of an emperor."
!!!
The emperor’s anger?!
Liu Yan's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Dong Fu in disbelief.
Dong Fu is a world-famous horoscope magician and prophecy expert. He will never ruin his reputation by talking nonsense.
Could it be said that the Yizhou division really has the spirit of an emperor, and in the future, an emperor will be born in Yizhou?
Doesn't that mean...
etc.
Liu Yan suddenly reacted.
Dong Fu came over specifically to tell him that Yizhou had the spirit of an emperor. It seemed that it was not just for the sake of saying this, but there seemed to be some other meaning in it, right?
Even if you want to say it, you should say it to today's emperor instead of yourself, right?
What does he mean?
Are you trying to persuade me to go to Yizhou?
Liu Yan was a little confused for a moment. He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Dong Fu's gourd. Looking at Dong Fu who still had a naughty smile, Liu Yan asked in a low voice: "Is what Mr. Dong said true?"
