The reason why He Miao was not at his official residence but came to Nanyang to visit He Zhen's grave was because he and He Jin had another quarrel.
Although He Jin was a butcher with great ambitions and little talent, and had no knowledge of people or the ability to use them, there were many talented people in his general's palace, such as Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Xun You and others who once served in the general's palace.
He Jin did not attract anyone.
However, this person is still very good to his brothers and sisters.
Even though He Miao, his half-brother, was very indifferent to him, he still had no expectations for He Miao.
This time, the main reason why He Miao was driven to Nanyang was because He Miao openly opposed him in the court and opposed his opinions.
This made He Jin very angry, but He Jin thought of brotherhood and did not kill them all. He just asked him to come to Nanyang to visit the grave and let him reflect on it. He also hoped that his father He Zhen could awaken He Miao's brotherly love.
Although He Miao was not He Zhen's biological child, but was born to He Zhen's mother before she married He Zhen, He Zhen regarded He Miao as his own child, just like He Jin and Queen He.
He Miao also respected He Zhen very much.
However, He Jin's plan failed. He Miao respected He Zhen, but was completely indifferent to He Jin.
I don’t know the reason, but He Miao just doesn’t like He Jin and wants to go against him.
He Miao was in a bad mood now. He was doing well in Henan Yin, so He Jin was humiliating himself by bringing him to Nanyang.
But He Jin has great momentum, after all, He Jin and Queen He are biological brothers and sisters.
He Miao could only endure it for the time being.
I have endured it, but my mood will definitely not get any better.
He originally didn't want to come to this party.
In his opinion, Nanyang Haoqiang has nothing to do with him, and it is not Nanyang Haoqiang that he relies on.
However, due to the Deng family's reputation, He Miao had no choice but to come.
He was already a little impatient. When Deng Xilong asked this question, he said impatiently: "It's just a matter of Jingzhou. The princes seem to value him too much. If he abides by the rules and disciplines, that's fine. Let's give Liu Bei one too."
For the sake of face, I won’t embarrass him. If he really wants to cause something, won’t you still be bullied by a young boy?”
Yes, in He Miao's view, Chen Yuan was just a young boy with no heroes at all times, who made Shuzi famous.
I think He Miao is also good at both civil and military affairs, that is to say, there is no chance. As long as there is a chance, He Miao will definitely be no less than Liu Bei.
In fact, this He Miao is really capable, because soon he will defeat the Xingyang peasant army, move the chariot and cavalry generals, and become the Marquis of Jiyang.
Seeing what He Miao said, Deng Xilong quickly said: "What Shuda said is true, but Chen Yuan is a special commander in Jingzhou, a military advisor and a general, and his official position is higher than everyone here. If he really wants to make trouble, he will still be able to do it."
You have to rely on Shuda to help you."
Among them, He Miao's official position was equivalent to that of Chen Yuan.
Although Deng Xilong's county magistrate is not low, but I think Jingzhou is still far behind.
He Miao waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "At this time, Yi'er, when the time comes, all the lords will look at me."
After finishing speaking, He Miao stood up and said: "If there is nothing else, Miao will leave first."
After saying that, he left directly without waiting for Deng Xilong's reaction.
Someone said angrily: "The Butcher's House is really rude."
Deng Xilong waved his hand: "There is no need to say such evil words, we still need this person to help us."
"Although this He Miao is vulgar and rude, his brother He Jin and his sister Queen He are now favored by the emperor. The He family is powerful and we still need to rely on it, so there is no need to say such evil words in the future, gentlemen.
Do you think so?"
Some people couldn't help but said: "Why is Mr. Xilong doing this? Even if there is no He Miao, are we still afraid of Chen Yuancheng?"
"That's true. Chen Yuan is just a young boy who has been lucky enough to be placed in an unparalleled position. How can he make us afraid of him?"
When Deng Xilong heard what these people said, he couldn't help but sigh.
Why am I hanging out with a bunch of idiots?
Deng Xilong's expression was solemn: "You gentlemen look down on Chen Zichu so much. I think the days of the Nanyang families are numbered."
Everyone was panicked.
"Why did Mr. Xilong say this!"
Deng Xilong said with a serious face: "Have you forgotten the Xiangyang Cai family?"
Everyone was shocked: "Could it be that the Xiangyang Cai family was destroyed at the hands of Chen Yuan?"
It's no wonder that everyone was shocked. After all, some of Chen Yuan's methods were used secretly, and it was impossible to see what Chen Yuan had done on the surface.
Therefore, most people think that Liu Bei eradicated the Cai family.
However, the Deng family in Nanyang was not an ordinary family after all. They also had contacts with the Cai family in Xiangyang, so they knew some of these things.
Deng Xilong nodded: "Yes, Chen Yuan planned to eradicate the Cai family. Do you still think that Chen Yuan is just a lucky person?"
Hearing Deng Xilong's admission, everyone couldn't help but feel horrified.
The Cai family in Xiangyang was so prosperous before. Among the people here, except for the Deng family who can firmly rank above the Cai family, I am afraid that no one else dares to say that their family can be stronger than the Cai family.
Since Chen Yuan can get rid of the Cai family, he has the ability to get rid of them.
When they thought of this, no one dared to underestimate Chen Yuan anymore.
Deng Xilong saw that the effect was achieved, and it seemed to be a bit over the top, and inadvertently made everyone fear Chen Yuan.
This is not possible. Being timid before fighting will lead to defeat.
Therefore, Deng Xilong relaxed his expression: "My lord, there is no need to panic. Chen Yuan is certainly powerful. As the saying goes, no one who is good at fighting has great achievements. Being able to get rid of the Cai family without letting outsiders know that he did it can be said to be a master of military strategism. He is
Jingzhou's military advisor is not unworthy of his reputation. However, he can get rid of the Cai family, but he can't touch Nanyang at all. Why do you think that?"
Deng Xilong saw that everyone was confused and said bluntly: "Nanyang does not need Xiangyang, and our Nanyang families do not need Xiangyang Cai family. Nanyang is the hometown of the emperor. Our ancestors are all the founders of the Han Dynasty. As long as we do not do anything treasonous and unethical, who dares to touch us?"
Without the emperor's permission, anyone who dares to touch us will surely have the powerful families in the world attack us. Do you think Chen Yuan dares? Even if he dares, will Liu Bei dare? Even if Liu Bei dares? But will the emperor allow him to do this?
Definitely not."
"So, please relax, just a Jingzhou pastor and a Jingzhou don't drive can't do anything to us. If you want to move Nanyang, unless the emperor is determined and wants the court to be turbulent, no one can do it."
The current situation in the world, as everyone here knows, has become somewhat unstable after the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
The emperor no longer had the previous lofty ambitions. A few years ago, the emperor still wanted to subjugate the world's powerful people and wanted to be the second most powerful person in the Han Dynasty.
However, after these years of struggle and the blows of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the emperor seems to have been appointed, and he has begun to neglect political affairs and has a tendency to develop into a coward.
Regarding this situation, Nanyang's powerful people are also happy to see it.
Of course, the Nanyang tycoons have absolutely no intention of overthrowing the Liu family. Their more thought is that it is best for the emperor to do nothing and rule from the top, and let them manage the world. As a mascot, the emperor is the best.
Faced with the current situation, the emperor will definitely not touch Nanyang. He neither wants nor wants, let alone has the ability.
After hearing Deng Xilong's analysis, those present were immediately reassured.
Since Chen Yuan can't touch him and others, there's nothing to be afraid of.
The only thing they fear is Jingzhou's army and masters.
The news about the eight first-class masters in Jingzhou has long been spread to Nanyang. The eight first-class masters still put a lot of pressure on Nanyang's powerful people.
As long as they don't use force in person and fight in secret, they believe that they will never lose to Chen Yuan.
Therefore, this time the gathering dispersed in a harmonious atmosphere.
Everyone got the results they wanted.
Deng Xilong further consolidated his position as the leader of Nanyang's tycoons. The other tycoons also took the reassurance that they no longer had any fear of Chen Yuan and were ready to have a good fight with Chen Yuan to let Chen Yuan know who Nanyang belongs to.
Whose Nanyang belongs to?
Of course it belongs to Liu Bei.
Chen Yuan thought in his heart.
Deng Xilong and the others probably made a mistake about one thing, that is, although the emperor was unwilling to touch Nanyang, he could not touch the people of Nanyang, but if someone wanted to touch the powerful Nanyang, the emperor would be happy to see it happen.
The reason is very simple, Nanyang's powerful people are no longer the same people who followed Emperor Guangwu to conquer the world.
Over the years, Nanyang's tycoons have gone too far. Not only did they not support the Emperor in certain political matters, they even colluded with Yingchuan, Runan and even Shandong tycoons in an attempt to fight against the Emperor.
Moreover, they are intertwined in Nanyang. Today's Nanyang is no longer the Nanyang of the imperial court, but the Nanyang of the Deng family.
A word from the Deng family is even more effective than a word from the prefect.
The successive governors of Nanyang did not have a good relationship with Nanyang's powerful men, such as Wang Chang.
Who is Wang Chang?
Wang Chang is the son of Wang Gong.
Regarding Wang Gong, he was also a powerful minister who reached the rank of Three Dukes during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Wang Gong once gained the appreciation of Emperor An of the Han Dynasty by pulling down some ministerial officials, so he rose to prominence.
When Wang Gong was the governor of Runan County, he discovered famous ministers like Huang Xian and Chen Fan.
When Wang Chang served as the top leader in Runan County, he was just like his father in the beginning. He hated evil and took harsh measures when he saw local wealthy families bullying the weak.
At this time, his aide Zhang Chang came out to persuade Wang Chang that this was not the correct way to do things in Nanyang.
As officials like Gong Cao, they are all from the local area, so they have a better understanding of the local situation.
Zhang Chang advised Wang Chang to recognize the situation clearly, because Nanyang is different from other places. The ancestors of Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, are here. Three queens of the Eastern Han Dynasty came from here, including Liu Xiu's queen Yin Lihua and Liu Zhao's queen.
Queen Yin, and Deng Sui.
Therefore, the relationship between various nobles, emperors, relatives and relatives is intricate and intricate, and it is not something that you, a mere prefect, can handle.
Therefore, instead of confronting these local powerful people, it is better to change the approach. Zhang Chang cited the reason why Emperor Shun wanted to promote Gao Tao. The reason was not that Gao Tao was so wise. Gao Tao was actually the chief of the Dongyi tribe.
Gaotao is to unite the Dongyi tribe. If Gaotao is united, the Dongyi tribe will not be divided.
Therefore, Zhang Chang actually used this case to tell Wang Chang that it is still necessary to win over and unite the royal family and nobles, so that these nobles can play a role in grassroots governance.
But from the perspective of this matter, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, since the founding of the country had been more than a hundred years ago, powerful people in various places had formed intertwined relationships through various forms such as intermarriage, marriage, and mentoring.
When the power of local tycoons is too great, they have the ability to compete with the central government, so the government's taxes are either boycotted, or the main body of the taxes falls on the people at the bottom, and the tyrants are among them.
Every time you peel off the skin, the life of the people becomes more difficult.
The government's finances have also become increasingly difficult, affecting all aspects such as national defense and disaster relief.
This is why the emperor of the Han Dynasty disliked Nanyang's powerful people more and more, because they completely regarded Nanyang as their base. Even the governor sent by the imperial court would not be able to secure his position if he did not cooperate with Nanyang's powerful people.
Isn’t that what Qin Jie is like?
If it were not for the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Qin Jie would not be able to take the position of Nanyang Prefect.
The reason why Qin Jie became the governor of Nanyang was precisely because there were Yellow Turbans in Nanyang, so the imperial court sent Qin Jie to take over as the governor of Nanyang. Therefore, Qin Jie's main task was to suppress the Yellow Turbans in Nanyang.
And if there are no accidents, when Qin Jie finishes suppressing the Nanyang Yellow Turbans, he will be transferred out soon.
The reason is simple, he and Nanyang Haoqiang cannot go together.
Qin Jie is a person who hates evil very much. Just like Wang Chang, he takes harsh measures to deal with local wealthy families when they see them bullying the weak. Fortunately, Qin Jie is luckier than Wang Chang. Qin Jie has an army of five thousand, as well as Liu Bei.
The support behind it.
In this way, Qin Jie secured his position as Nanyang Prefect.
Otherwise, Nanyang's tycoons would have already mobilized relations and transferred Qin Jie away, and his position would definitely not be better.
Most of them would be working as governors in bitter and cold border areas, which is equivalent to being assigned.
Just kidding, you old guy is so merciless to us, we will definitely not make it easy for you.
However, because of Liu Bei's support, Nanyang's powerful men were temporarily helpless against Qin Jie.
Because since the creation of Zhou Mu, the official position of Taishou, which was originally regarded as a prince, has someone above him.
When the imperial court appointed or transferred prefects, they had to consider the opinions of the state pastor more.
This is of course what Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty meant.
The reason why he did this was to support the Liu family's several state pastoralists and provide convenience.
I almost have to say it clearly, you should quickly develop your strength on the ground. I have given you all the personnel rights. If you continue to be ineffective, then you will not be able to blame me.
There is a saying that although Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had no fighting spirit, he did not give up the fight against the powerful and turned to another method.
There are definitely not many people in the world who can see the meaning, not even more than ten people.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was indeed the Ling Emperor. He was truly an extremely smart man.
