Chapter 626: Candidates
Youzhou Beijing City Guard
Yuan Chang led the army to Goguryeo, and Guo Jia, the number one military division, also followed, and now the affairs of Youzhou are handled by Xun Chen, Dong Zhao and Xu Shu. And since Pang Tong learned that Yuan Chang was the person he was looking for, he also served as the county commander under Xu Shu's recommendation. Although it was recommended by Xu Shu, others didn't know Pang Tong's ability, after all, they were not traversers like Yuan Chang, and it was already an exception to give a county order position in Xu Shu's face. In this regard, Pang Tong naturally has no dissatisfaction, since Yuan Chang is the person he identifies, of course he has to show his ability.
In this aspect of political affairs, Xun Chen, Dong Zhao and Xu Shu are in charge, and they are naturally easy to handle. After all, it's just a state, and with the ability of a few of them, there is no problem in leaving the cabinet and entering the prime minister. In terms of military affairs, it is naturally coordinated by Zhao Yun, Han Sui and others. As early as the beginning of the creation of the force, Yuan Chang advocated the separation of military and political rule, so everyone would not interfere with each other. Zhao Yun sat in the capital, and the resistance forces were also pacified at the beginning, so there was no chaos, and the territory of Youzhou seemed extremely calm. However, no one knows what kind of undercurrent is hidden behind this calm.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the lord has sent a letter asking me to select officials to go to Goguryeo to take office, I wonder if you have any ideas?"
In the conference hall, several people sat on wooden chairs, Xun Chen glanced at it and asked lightly. It is said that this wooden chair was still made by Yuan Chang asked the carpenter, and everyone thought it was a little weird at the beginning. After all, from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the present, they are all kneeling and sitting on the agenda, where is there a chair to sit on? And the chair began to circulate, but also after the Tang Dynasty, Li Tang has the blood of the Hu people, so the customs of the Central Plains are not very rigid to follow, so the Hu people's wooden bench is used, and finally gradually evolved into a chair. However, it didn't take long to go from being weird at the beginning to taking over at the end. Kneeling and sitting on a chair, as long as you are a normal person, you know how to choose. If it is a rich and noble family, it is better to say, there will be a cushion during the discussion, and ordinary people will kneel and sit for a long time, and when the discussion is over, the two legs seem to be not their own.
Dong Zhao stroked his short beard and said with a smile: "Youruo, with the temperament of the main attack, I don't think it will be forced to be transferred, but will let them choose to go or not by themselves, but also?"
"Very reasonable!"
"Haha!"
Several people in the council hall couldn't help laughing, although they didn't see the content of Yuan Chang's letter, they also guessed seven or eight points, obviously they also knew Yuan Chang's character very well, and they could roughly guess his thoughts. In ancient times, the class system was very strict, and you didn't resist what your superiors asked you to do, just like the emperor asked you to do something, and if you didn't do it, it would be a crime of bullying the king, which shows that the class is clear. And there are not many people who can choose a lord like Yuan Chang, but there are not many people who think about others, so while several people are relaxed on their faces, they are also glad that they can follow such a lord in their hearts.
"Gongren, if you dare to speak like this here, I would like to see how the Lord Guild reacts. Xun Chen scolded with a smile, and then passed the letter to everyone to read. Although he would not falsely pass on Yuan Chang's orders, it was reasonable for everyone to watch Yuan Chang's orders together.
"Hmm!"
After Dong Zhao read the letter, he lowered his head and muttered for a moment, and said, "Naturally, I will not object to the lord's order, and immediately start selecting people to go to Goguryeo." However, in addition to ordinary officials, one should also be selected to be able to preside over the overall situation of Goguryeo. After all, Goguryeo and Youzhou are far apart, and if something discordant happens, someone can make a decision on the spot. β
"Gongren is right!"
For Dong Zhao's suggestion, Xun Chen naturally would not object, this is also what he thinks in his heart. It's just that Xun Chen is a little embarrassed about who to let go to Goguryeo to preside over the overall situation. It stands to reason that it would be best for him, Dong Zhao or Xu Shu to go alone, but because they didn't know Yuan Chang's specific thoughts now, they were not too suitable. Therefore, people can only be selected from the counties in Youzhou.
"I wonder if you have a suitable candidate?"
Xun Chen's question was thrown, and everyone began to frown and ponder. If it is a candidate for the governor of each county in Youzhou, they can say a bunch of names in minutes. However, now it is Goguryeo who is going to take over, and that person naturally has to be special. Otherwise, it is not certain whether they can control Goguryeo, and if they mess up Goguryeo in a short time, they don't know how to face Yuan Chang's trust in them.
After a while, Xu Shu looked up at a few people and said, "Everyone, if you want to be the chief official of Goguryeo, this person must have a good understanding of the truth about Goguryeo, otherwise, if you don't understand the truth about Goguryeo, going to Goguryeo to take office will only be counterproductive, but is it?"
"Yuan Zhi is very right!"
They naturally agree with Xu Shu's words, as the so-called adaptation to local conditions, if people don't even know the specific situation of Goguryeo, how can they govern Goguryeo well.
"Secondly, the words and deeds of the lord are not friendly to people of different races. Therefore, this person should also have the heart to kill decisively, but if there are those who do not obey, can he be ruthless, but can he?"
After following Yuan Chang for so long, they naturally knew that Yuan Chang was not ordinary ruthless towards aliens. According to Yuan Chang's character, if the people of Goguryeo are disobedient, it is estimated that he will destroy the entire Goguryeo and will not care. Although they didn't know why Yuan Chang was so disgusted with aliens, Xun Chen, Dong Zhao, and Xu Shu were not pedantic people, and they would treat aliens with a friendly attitude. It can be said that before the Tang Dynasty, the attitude of the Han people towards foreigners had always been unfriendly. During the Tang Dynasty, because Li Shimin was quite friendly to foreigners for the title of Heavenly Khan, there were Tang Dynasty, and there were not a few foreigners serving in the court, and there were many foreign generals under Li Shimin's command; After the Southern Song Dynasty, the development of Cheng Zhu Lixue made the people of the Central Plains have a kind of demeanor of the Heavenly Empire, and treat foreign races as if they were like a family, as can be seen in the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, Goguryeo is not strictly speaking a pure alien race, and can be said to be after sinners.
Why?
Originally, Goguryeo had only the indigenous people, that is, the indigenous people of Goguryeo. After the death of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, the dictatorship of the Lu family's relatives, and later the Liu royal family made a difficulty, Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and others responded to kill the Lu family, and abolished the emperor Liu Hong, and set up the new emperor Liu Heng, that is, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. The relatives of the LΓΌ clan and the officials and generals who were vassals at the beginning were all assigned to Goguryeo, and many of the subsequent criminals and sinners were sent to Goguryeo, so most of the Goguryeo people today were combined with the natives of Goguryeo after the sinners of the Central Plains. Therefore, the Goguryeo people are also half Han from this point of view.
However, it doesn't matter to Xun Chen whether they are half Han or not, the key is that the chief officials sent to Goguryeo must have enough means to suppress all injustices.
As Yuan Zhi said, there are many who meet these conditions. β
The conditions required for the candidate have been considered, so it is not difficult to think about the people who meet them.
"The former Changli County guarded Zhou Jing, had many contacts with Goguryeo, and was upright and upright, and his means were also quite abundant, can this person be a candidate for the chief official of Goguryeo?" Xun Chen took the lead in recommending a candidate.
"This person is not suitable!"
Dong Zhao thought for a moment, but shook his head and objected, and then said: "I have also heard of Zhou Jing, the means are indeed sufficient, but it is too soft, once there is disharmony in Goguryeo, when necessary, the head is rolling, with Zhou Jing's temperament, I can't do it, if so, it is not beautiful." β
Xun Chen was not dissatisfied with Dong Zhao's opposition, everyone was dedicated to the public, not a word, since Zhou Jing was not suitable for the situation in Goguryeo, he naturally would not insist, and he would not be dissatisfied because of this.
"Youruo, Gongren, I don't know how about Lelang County don't drive Marven?"
"No!" "No!"
Xu Shu's opinion was put forward, but Xun Chen and Dong Zhao objected in unison, but it made Xu Shu look confused, why did the two react so much.
Xun Chen and Dong Zhao smiled helplessly, Xun Chen shook his head and sighed: "Yuan Zhi, you may not have been in contact with political affairs for a long time, and you don't know enough about Marven, but it's no wonder that you, if Marven is allowed to go to Goguryeo to take up the position of chief official, it won't take long to think about it, then Goguryeo is afraid that there will be a big chaos." β
"Why is that?"
Hearing Xun Chen's words, Xu Shu was a little curious. Marven's resume Xu Shu has also seen it, and it can be said that it is quite suitable for the situation in Goguryeo, but Xun Chen and Dong Zhao are opposed at the same time, and they obviously have unknown inside information.
"Alas!"
Xun Chen frowned and said nothing, Dong Zhao sighed lightly, and explained: "This matter is also a sin done by foreign people, when Marven was young, the village where he lived was slaughtered by foreign people, so when he grew up, he was extremely resentful of people of other races. Lelang County is a delicate place, sandwiched between Goguryeo, Mahan, Chenhan and other countries, the local people are mostly bullied by foreign races, and the royal family of the Central Plains at that time is weak, and there is no way to touch Lelang County; Since then, the prestige of Lelang County is even more than that of Taishou, and the people of Lelang County only know that they don't drive, but they don't know the name of Taishou, which can be seen. β
"I see!"
Xu Shu sighed lightly, since ancient times, there have been many tragic things like Marven, and the environment is like this, and everyone is helpless. It's just that Marven's methods are a little ruthless, but it doesn't seem appropriate to say that he can't control the situation in Goguryeo, right?
"Ahem!"
Xun Chen coughed, followed Dong Zhao's words, and said, "If this is the case, Marven is in line with the situation in Goguryeo. However, after the lord took over Youzhou, he found something abnormal, so he sent someone to investigate secretly and found some unknown inside information. But whenever there is an invasion of foreign people, Marven secretly gathers strong men, personally leads to the land of foreign races, and slaughters all the villages related to the invasion, and there is no one left. Originally, we wanted to promote it to Taishou, but then we gave up, and it was not a bad thing to have Taishou pressing on his head, otherwise, I am afraid that his murderous heart will be even worse. β
"Shhhhh
Xu Shu gasped, he didn't expect such a tortuous process, if Xun Chen hadn't said it, he wouldn't have known these inside information. Since ancient times, it has not been common to slaughter people with such cruel methods. As for the slaughter of prisoners, it only happens in war, and it is also a minority, and Marven is not the head of a place, but he dares to do this, which shows his hatred for foreign races. However, from another point of view, it can also be seen that Yuan Chang's hatred for people of different races is that if someone else knows that Marven has such behavior, don't say that Ma Wen's official position remains unchanged, I am afraid that it will not be too much to go to prison and kill his head. You must know that if people know about this, Yuan Chang will be implicated, but Yuan Chang is blind to it, which can be seen.
In this way, Marven is not the right person. β
Xu Shu sighed, skipped the matter, pondered for a moment, and proposed again: "In addition to these two people, Cao Peng Tang Zhe, a soldier from Liaodong County, wants to be suitable, I don't know what the two of you think?"
"Hmm!"
"But so!"
Hearing the name Tang Zhe, Xun Chen and Dong Zhao groaned slightly, and then their eyes lit up, and they immediately nodded in approval. Then, both of them thought of Yuan Changhui's eyesight, no wonder they tried their best to recruit Xu Shu at the beginning, and Xu Shu took over the affairs of Youzhou not long ago, but he was already so familiar with it, and it can be seen that his ability is not bad. In fact, the resourceful people of the Three Kingdoms were headed by Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Sima Yi, and Jia Xu, while Zhou Yu was slightly inferior in terms of wisdom, but with his military talent, he could also be compared with Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang. In addition to these people, the next ones are Xu Shu, Lu Su and others. And the reason for this difference is also the reason for talent, not that they don't work hard. The books they have read and the things they have seen are average, and in the end there is a gap in their ability, not because they don't work hard, but because their talent limits them, which is also a very helpless fact.
"Now that the candidates for Goguryeo have been decided, the next step is for the officials at all levels. Immediately send an order to all counties to sign up for those who are willing to go to Goguryeo to sign up for the officials, and strive to complete the selection and departure within two days, so as to live up to the trust of the lord. β
"Yes!"
Yuan Chang's order was quickly discussed by several people, and a plan was drawn up, and a decision was made. It can be seen that it is very important to have excellent subordinates, and if you replace some people with poor ability, it is estimated that you will have to pass the buck and pull each other for a period of time, and after making a decision, it is estimated that the daylily will be cold.
