Chapter 52 Zongzheng Shaoqing Liu Xuande

When talking about this with Lu Zhi, Li Su basically understood that Liu Bei's suspicion was only affected by the fish.

After all, when the emperor was seriously ill, because the generals had been behaving more recently, there was no difference in suspicion.

To completely relieve the heart disease, further win the name of loyalty and righteousness of "no mind and spirit", and to reach the level of "the sun is bright", it is impossible to rely on Liu Bei's own efforts on the one-acre and three-point land in Liaodong.

Even if you don’t have any enterprising actions in Liaodong and are just resting with the people, this suspicion of historical issues will still exist as if it is close to each other. This is the difficulty of accompanying the king as if it is with a tiger.

The only way to solve the problem is to take the initiative to take responsibility, and even take the attitude of "willing to be replaced" to share the worries of the emperor in another place, and solve the core root problem that the emperor is most suspicious of now!

But Li Su knew that Huangfu Song was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and was also a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty in the minds of the people of the world. If he dealt with Huangfu Song in order to win the trust of the emperor, even if he gained "loyalty", he would easily suffer losses in terms of "righteousness" and "people's expectations in the country".

Huangfu Song was the number one hero in quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion! It is not an exaggeration to say that he had made reinvention to the Han Dynasty.

Now, Dong Zhuo, who is now in harmony with Huangfu Song, is regarded as a jackal in the minds of the world by contrasting the point of "Huangfu Song is unwilling to accept micro-fuck, but I am willing to accept micro-fuck"

So, even if you take a step back, you don’t consider the harm of quarreling against Huangfu Song. But as long as you attack Huangfu Song, wouldn’t you occupy the same position as Dong Zhuo for the time being? This is absolutely unusable. In the future, Dong Zhuo becomes a traitor and his reputation will be terrible!

You cannot deal with Huangfu Song in order to please the emperor, so the remaining core option is to help the emperor deal with Liu Yan.

To be precise, it is not to deal with Liu Yan, but to relieve the emperor's suspicion of Liu Yan, or to criticize Liu Yan - Liu Yan was a relative of the Han Dynasty after all, so he let Liu Yan go to Yizhou and retained more power to be loyal to the Han Dynasty and finally the Liu family in troubled times. This was originally the original intention of Emperor Ling of Han.

Therefore, Emperor Ling was not really suspicious of Liu Yan and suppressed him to the point where he wanted to destroy the Great Wall and completely remove it. He just doubted why Zhang Lu rose and why he cut off the Han envoy.

Maybe what Emperor Ling hoped for at this moment was that someone had just destroyed Zhang Lu, and adopted the attitude of "seeing the future" against Liu Yan, hoping that he could kill the chicken to warn the monkey and make him regret too much, punish the past and prevent the future, and cure the disease and save the people.

Unless Liu Yan still doesn't know how to restrain himself after destroying Zhang Lu, or discovers that Liu Yan does have an arrogant and domineering rebellion, then the Spirit Emperor can take further action.

...

After thinking all this out, Li Su felt aroused and decided to discuss with Lu Zhi the process of Liu Yan and Zhang Lu's rise in detail. The current situation is now, and I want to find out if there is a way to break the deadlock with one stone.

Li Sucheng asked sincerely: "Duke Lu, we first came to the capital and didn't know much about the military affairs in Xizhou. If you want to share your worries, you must first ask about the military situation. Please also ask Lu Gong to inform you: When and how Zhang Lu rose in Hanzhong, and why can the Han envoy be cut off? There are other signs of disobedience in Yizhou? General Huangfu and Dong Zhuo, and in Chen Cang, how can Han Sui be with him?"

Lu Zhi sorted out his thoughts and answered openly: "Zhang Lu, a thief, was a thief in Hanzhong. The reason why Your Majesty angrily brought Liu Yan was because Zhang Lu was originally just a local ghost master in Yizhou, and his original capital was not in Hanzhong. He mostly moved in Mianzhu and Jiangyou. He has been in three lifetimes, namely Guanghan, Zitong and Wenshan counties.

The last news of Liu Yan's handling of Zhang Lu that the court received was returned in the first half of this year. At that time, Liu Yan appointed Zhang Lu as the governor of Yi Sima, and joined forces with other Sima Zhang Xiu to clear the Hanzhong Road. However, other Sima Zhang Xiu was said to have suddenly acted on his own and attacked Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong who was appointed by the court.

Later, Su Gu's aides and his disciples avenged Su Gu and repeatedly attacked Zhang Xiu. Zhang Lu also took advantage of the chaos to act as Su Gu to take revenge and kill Zhang Xiu, calling Zhang Xiu a life of chaos. At this point, although Liu Yan did not bear the reputation of instructing Zhang Lu to kill the Hanzhong prefect appointed by the court, he had already formed the fact that the "thief Zhang Xiu who killed a treachery" and "prefect Su Gu" died together.

Then Zhang Lu's temperament changed a lot. After only a few months of entrenchment in Hanzhong, he began to isolate the envoys and kill officials sent by the court to investigate the recent situation in Yizhou. However, the court had no evidence to prove whether Zhang Lu's subsequent evil deeds after his success were instructed by Liu Yan, so he did not act rashly."

After Lu Zhi finished speaking, Li Su had a clear idea.

The time nodes and causal logic of each joint are slightly different from the original history, but there is no big problem.

Li Su was a foresighted person. Of course he knew that Zhang Lu was Liu Yan released to prevent the court from replacing him, so that he would be the shield of the local emperor for a long time.

Lu Zhi didn't talk about Zhang Lu's mother's problem just now, that should be the key fact that the court still didn't know - but Li Su knew.

Zhang Lu's mother also practiced ghost arts with the Zhang family, so she had the ability to keep her face. She was still very attractive to an old man like Liu Yan in her early sixties when she was in her forties or fifties. Zhang Lu's biography in official history clearly records that Zhang Lu's mother often went in and out of Liu Yan's private houses, and Liu Yan obviously used Zhang Lu as her adopted son.

Just like Cao Future to use He Yan's mother and then use He Yan again.

Moreover, in history, it is an indisputable fact that Liu Yan became drifty after entering Sichuan.

After Liu Biao became the governor of Jingzhou in 191, he submitted a complaint from the court, suing Liu Yan for all kinds of usurping, such as "protecting six chariots, using the emperor's chariots and guarding the emperor's chariots", which were like accomplices and rebellion.

You know, Liu Biao only exposed Liu Yan in 191, but it does not mean that Liu Yan really started to be arrogant in 191 - that was just because Liu Biao had to wait until 191 in history before taking office! According to reverse estimates, Liu Yan began to be so arrogant in at least 190, and was only the second year that Liu Biao was freed to catch the handle.

Now, due to the butterfly effect caused by Li Su, the "abolition of history and establishment of pastoralism" system has been implemented more than half a year ahead of schedule, and Liu Yu has also performed exceptionally well in advance, and Liu Yan entered Sichuan half a year earlier.

According to this context, Liu Yan's idea of ​​"My local emperor is stable and he urgently needs to establish his authority to pave the way for my son" might appear half a year in advance! So even if there was a misconduct of using the emperor's ceremonial guard in 189, it was completely possible!

This is not to say that Liu Yan just couldn't hold back his desire to enjoy it, but he had to use usurpation to pave the way for his son Liu Mao. At that time, the court officials still did not have the hereditary habit of "separation of princes and succession of fathers and sons". Everyone still felt that the provincial governor could not pass the throne to his son and had to obey the court's re-appointment.

Liu Yan wanted to be the first in the world, and he was already over 60 years old, so he couldn't wait. If the fact that the princes had inherited their power did not create momentum, he would have many twists and turns in the process of passing it on to his son, and he would not know whether he could succeed in the end.

Until 194, when Tao Qian died, he did not dare to pass the throne to his son, but instead gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei, which was related to the tradition of "passing the throne" that the princes at that time had not yet developed.

After Yuan Shu became emperor, although the matter of becoming emperor was not achieved, it benefited the warlords in the world. From then on, the warlords pulled off the fig leaf and agreed that "the warlords' state governors can pass the throne to their sons." This was already 197.

In the eyes of later readers who read the Three Kingdoms, the legitimate "princes passed on the throne" system, which is really carefully studied, is not so natural? On this issue, how long and painful is the process of the transformation from "the logic of the court officialdom" to "the logic of the fight for hegemony by force"?

When Sun Jian died, Sun Ce had not yet gained anything, but later he started over again. If Sun Ce died before Yuan Shu became emperor 197 years ago, Sun Quan might not have gained anything, and he would have become an ordinary "children of down-and-out officials who became officials and fathers and brothers after they died, and they were similar to Tao Shang Tao Ying.

However, Li Su is still inconvenient to say too many words to criticize Liu Yan, so there is no need to mention these later words, so as not to fall into the suspicion of "judging a gentleman with a villain's heart", and secondly, there is insufficient evidence.

...

After thoroughly sorting out the situation informed by Lu Zhi, Li Su was also thinking about a plan.

And it's not the kind of plan that has no way out,

It is a kind of thing that can change its tricks at any time and have the best strategy to settle for the second best.

Just like Li Su's usual "scumbag strategy" nature, you can keep a backup fetus when chasing the goddess Ce, and you can also let the backup fetus without knowing it without knowing it.

After Li Su thought it through, he immediately made a decision to express his heart to Lu Zhi and said, "Since you know the root of your majesty's suspicion, there is a strategy that allows Brother Xuande to prove his innocence, and the best of both the body and the court, and the king and the ministers will be together, and the mind will be free. However, if this strategy is implemented, it still requires the cooperation of Mr. Lu. Some advice is made, Brother Xuande and Su are inconvenient to take the initiative to ask the court for orders."

Lu Zhi was Liu Bei's teacher. When it was also beneficial to the court, he was of course willing to help Liu Bei, so he signaled Li Su but said it was okay.

Li Su then dared to start: "I thought that when Your Majesty next time he talked about suspicion of the generals of the border town, he would dare to make a statement and ask Your Majesty to sue Liu Bei into the court and grant him the title of the capital to try his heart, to see if he would rather give up his military power in the border town and give up the temptation of monopolizing power.

He knew that Brother Xuande was a man and was unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness to the court and His Majesty, so he didn't have to worry about this temptation that made him resentful. He would definitely be willing to come through fire and water. As long as Brother Xuande came to the capital, he would set an example for other border generals who were respectful. Your Majesty could follow the trend to educate the generals in the world and be harmonious with the atmosphere of the court. Wouldn't it be nice?"

This is Li Su's first step: Why did Dong Zhuo suddenly receive extra trust in the last year of Emperor Ling like a comeback? Isn't it because Dong Zhuo seemed so willing to be fucked by a layman when everyone was afraid of defeating the battle?

Then Liu Bei changed his perspective. When the generals in the world were unwilling to be the Beijing officials to give up the pleasure of the local emperor, they would act as loyal and righteous attitude of giving up the interests of the local emperor without reservation! They could also be a role model to run over other unscrupulous people!

If this posture is put on, Emperor Ling of Han would not be able to use Liu Bei more than Dong Zhuo? And then he would definitely completely believe that Liu Bei's loyalty is the best in the world and has no reservations.

Look, when the emperor was seriously ill, everyone else was eager to pretend to be inaudible and wait for the emperor to die. Such generals were willing to give up their military power and the local emperor came back to accompany the real emperor, and they were loyal models in the world!

The key is that this is just Li Su's first step. He just set up a account and crossed the bridge to transition. In the end, he was sure to transfer Liu Bei away! He not only gained a good reputation and good attitude, but also did not suffer any damage to the actual interests!

The reason why he was able to come up with such a great plan was on the one hand because of Li Su's IQ, and on the other hand, it was because only Li Su was so confident about the time when Emperor Ling of Han was burping!

Of course, if you stay in any other place in the world, if Emperor Ling of Han dies a few months late, a new change will occur. For example, even in Liaodong, if the emperor really becomes hard and lives for a few more months, he will be dizzy when he dies, and he will be able to remove the prefect of Liaodong. It will be possible to remove the 400-mile unmanned land in the western Liaoning Corridor. The 400-mile unmanned land cannot stop the angels from sending the order.

But only by entering Sichuan or being a governor of Jiaozhou, due to road barriers, even if the emperor dies a few months late, there will be sufficient fault tolerance.

Otherwise, if you say that a guy like Liu Yan who has made too early has chosen a good place, only by entering Shu can you use the difficult version of Shu Road to perform. Even though you are still in the official version, you will use the battle for the hegemony version in advance to do things.

Of course, Liu Yan may not be able to stop this life, but that is not because his plan is not working, but because Zhang Lu's combat effectiveness he released was not working.

Maybe before Emperor Ling died, Zhang Lu died at the hands of Liu Bei, and the Shu Road would be opened again, and Liu Yan's crime of usurpation was known to everyone in the world.

The same thing is said: Those who have literary affairs must use martial arts to help them.

The strategy is fine, the key is that if you can't beat it, you won't be able to execute it.

If Liu Bei could not beat Zhang Lu, then Liu Bei would also stop.

Even if he beat Zhang Lu, if Liu Bei could not use a partial army to block the subsequent army that wanted to enter Shu under the extreme situation of "If Emperor Ling of Han died late", Liu Bei would have stopped.

Only by doing both strategies and cooperating with the previous strategy and satisfying all three-pronged approaches can one be truly qualified to enjoy the spirit of the Emperor of Yizhou.

This is the "sufficial condition", and if anything is missing, it is just a "necessary condition".

Of course, Lu Zhi didn't know so many twists and turns for the time being. He just saw Li Su suggesting that Liu Bei enter Beijing, so Lu Zhi had to ask relatively novice:

"Xuande is certainly of course very beneficial for stabilizing the hearts of the generals in the world. But what advice should he suggest for his excuse to enter Beijing? Should I suggest His Majesty to recruit Xuande to enter Beijing? If the reason seems too hypocritical, it will inevitably make other bystanders who are watching to suppress the rebellion and border generals."

Li Su was confident in this question: "I think you can choose some official positions that are convincing under the ranks of the ranks and ask Brother Xuande to take on them."

Lu Zhi was slightly stunned: "Oh? Why?"

Li Su bowed: "Brother Xuande is a relative of the Han Dynasty and his ancestral titles and genealogies have been confirmed before when Bo'an Gong was appointed as the Dazongzheng. Since he was the leader of the Han Dynasty's relatives and the court's official titles are justified, this is one of them.

The former Da Zongzheng was Gong An Gong. After Bo An Gong was transferred to Youzhou Governor, the position of Gong An Gong was vacant in the court, and even the deputy position was not established. Brother Xuande was a subordinate of Gong An Gong and the most useful Han clan under the command of Youzhou Governor. He was transferred back to the capital to assist in the work that his old boss had once served, and everyone in the world was convinced. This is the second.

In addition, the matter of killing Han envoys was cut off. Whether Liu Yan deliberately indulged in the case of Zhang Lu was involved in whether he was a criminal investigation of the royal family, and Zong Zheng should be dealt with by Zong Zheng. Brother Xuande was asked to be a subordinate official of Zong Zheng, and he happened to be a special person to investigate the case of Liu Yan's thief. It would be best to be able to restore Liu Yizhou's innocence. This is the third of this.

Finally, the reason why Zhang Lu was able to eliminate Hanzhong Dao was because Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo and Han Sui fought in Chencang - Shu had always had three main roads from north Hanzhong to Guanzhong. The easternmost Ziwu Valley was the most dangerous and completely controlled by the forces controlling Hanzhong. Therefore, as long as Zhang Lu was there, the Ziwu Dao would be cut off.

However, when Hanzhong goes directly north or northwest, there is Wudu Road that can pass through Sanguan to Chencang, enter the Wei River, and Qishan Road to Tianshui. Tianshui County is now Hansui territory, so it is Hansui and Zhang and Lu that the Qishan Road cannot connect to Han envoys. The Chencang exit of Wudu Road was not in the hands of the rebels, but in the hands of Huangfu Song's court army.

However, Han Sui, Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo are now fighting fiercely for Chen Cang. If Chen Cang City can be relieved, the Han envoy will go out of Sanguan and Wudu Road and enter Yangping Pass. It will not pass through Nanzheng, the capital of Hanzhong County. However, if you walk around the mountain road from the Dingjunshan Mountain area west of Hanzhong, you can also go through Jinniu Road and Jianmen Pass to Shu County. In this way, will it be a way to make the imperial angels accountable?

Xuande's brother pacified Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun, Wu Su and other thieves, and was a rising star in the royal family who was famous for their military knowledge in recent years. If he had already been willing to be the deputy post of Zongzheng, he gave up his military power and went to Beijing to investigate the case of Liu Yan diligently. After the investigation, the court would not bother the two masters in any matter and directly vented him from the position of Zongzheng official again. He ordered him to first remove Chen Cang's siege, force Han Sui to retreat, rescue Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo.

Then Huangfu Song continued to station in Chencang, and Brother Xuande went out of Sanguan along Chencang, went south to attack Zhang Lu, and eliminated this rebel who had clearly betrayed the court and intercepted the angels. Doesn’t it also demonstrate that the court had no intention of being unfair and willing to enter the capital, as long as the military generals who were willing to enter the capital after investigation, they would still be entrusted with important tasks and escort them out of the way after resolving their past grudges? With this example, other border generals who were suspicious and fearful would dare to be summoned by the court to enter the capital. This is the fourth!”

As Lu Zhi listened, his eyes became more and more incredible, and in the end he almost saw a ghost.

If his position and interests on this issue were not consistent with Liu Bei, and if someone else heard it, Li Su reacted so quickly and came up with this kind of interlocking personnel dispatching strategy with one, two, three, four, each with spare tire, and regressed, he would probably have been deaf and dared not listen.

How could Li Su be so familiar with the power and the way of using people to control the imperial court? It is impossible that Liu Bei taught him. Liu Bei himself didn't understand it at all, and it was still far from it!

Li Su hasn’t been a Beijing official for many years. Is this kind of political sensitivity born?!

"This... if I was Situ, the chief officer of the appointment and removal of all officials, I could not think of a reason to refuse to refute." After repeated reminiscing, Lu Zhi actually sighed and said such a sentence.

"Forget it, that's it. However, Xuande was too experienced after all, and he had never been an official in the capital. Even the general of Liao was already a high-ranking official of two thousand stones. He would definitely not be the nine ministers who were transferred to the capital at a high level.

Let me convince Your Majesty that the rank of "Zongzheng Shaoqing" will be temporarily under the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank

The establishment of "Shaoqing" was under the official ministers of the Nine Ministers, which was not a common practice in the Han Dynasty. It was not until the Northern Wei Dynasty and Southern Dynasties that it gradually became comprehensive.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were only Shaofu and Taichang among the Nine Ministers who were at the level of Shaoqing.

The official Nine Ministers are "two thousand stones in the rank", which is higher than "two thousand stones in the rank", and in fact is equivalent to a salary of three thousand stones.

When they went up, there were only the nominal "rank ten thousand stones" of the General and the Three Dukes, and their actual salary was equivalent to 4,000 to 5,000 stones.

The deputy position of the Jiuqing Shaoqing, "a rank of two thousand stones", is equivalent to a completely reduced level, and is half a level lower than that of General Liao.

However, at least, Liu Bei had a resume as a Beijing official, and his business was very suitable.

Liu Bei's main task as Shaoqing is to investigate Liu Yan's rebellion case. Whenever he finds out, he can be re-appointed as general and prefect of Hanzhong at any time, and directly attack the rebels you found.

Therefore, the term of office of Zong Zheng Shaoqing is probably not more than three months, just gilded.

The general policy Li Su gave Liu Bei was twelve words: Ren Zongzheng, investigate the case of rebellion, rescue Chen Cang, and attack Zhang Lu!

Of course, there is one standard that must be mastered, that is, before Emperor Ling died, he could only attack Zhang Lu, and not reveal the tendency to get rid of Liu Yan.

To Liu Yan, you must show a generous attitude of "save" and slowly plan for it.
