On this day, Liu Yan was reviewing the recital, and suddenly felt tired when criticizing and criticizing, and scolded secretly: "There is no one who solves the problem, but the people who create the problem are endless, and this day is not good for people!"

While complaining, he threw the pen in his hand to the ground: "Someone!" The maid outside immediately came in: "Your Highness." ”

"Go, please see you. Liu Yan motioned to the maid to clean up the things on the table, and took out another notebook, ready to change her mood.

She was upset, the matter of choosing an heir on the one hand had not yet been settled, and on the other hand, there had been a serious mass incident in the local area, and the rebels had almost collapsed the government office building, if this matter had been placed in Jingzhou or Jiangdong, without Liu Yan's special order, the local garrison would have bulldozed the ancestral graves of the perpetrators a long time ago.

However, this matter came from Hanzhong, Yin Guan had no experience, and Huang Zhong and Wei Yan wanted to send troops but were afraid of the sympathy and solidarity of public opinion for the people in Hanzhong, fearing that the military would make it more difficult for the government to do it.

After all, the stubborn disease in Hanzhong has long been frozen, and if you want to use force, it is not that it has not been used before, it is just not cured for a long time.

When Yin Guan was Liu Bei's chief bookkeeper, he was only governing a small county town in Xinye. After following Liu Yan, I have been doing the work of a staff behind the scenes, and I haven't really been at the grassroots level for a long time.

Now that Liu Yan asked him to govern Hanzhong, the situation of unadaptation to the water and soil has become prominent. Although Liu Yan gave him full trust, he couldn't stand the fact that the people in Hanzhong were too complicated, there was a pit dug by Zhang Lu in front and the soil buried by Fa Zheng in the back. It is impossible for Yin Guan not to eat the ashes of his predecessor.

Rao is Liu Yan is mentally prepared that she can't handle Hanzhong for thirty or fifty years, but when she saw the report of the local armed attack on the government office, she couldn't help but be angry, and scolded Yin Guan for being too cowardly!

After Zhang Lu fled, there was no resistance in Hanzhong on the surface. But in private, there is an undercurrent. Suicide attacks and skirmishes continued, with new tricks taking place almost every day. In Liu Yan's absence, Fa Zheng and Pang Tong had a disagreement on how to deal with this situation in Hanzhong. As a result, neither of them persuaded anyone, and the stalemate stumped Yin Guan, a magistrate who listened to instructions and did practical things.

Fa Zheng, as always, will make an example of one hundred and punish him severely. Pang Tong felt that the time for the rule of law had passed, and now it was time to recuperate and restore people's livelihood, and there was no need to go online like this.

Hanzhong is far away from Chengdu, and it is a new territory that has just arrived, no matter what kind of chaos it is, it is in line with Liu Yan's psychological expectations, and even to be unkind, Liu Yan just hopes that this place will be as chaotic as possible, and the chaos will be too much to clean up, and the armies of Huang Zhong and Wei Yan she placed there will be useful.

To put it bluntly, although the Wudou Mi Sect has been eradicated, it has been entrenched for decades, and the foundation is not so easy to dig up. Liu Yan has always been worried about Hanzhong, worried that there is a tumor hidden under this soil that she doesn't know and will explode at a time she can't predict.

It was based on such worries that before leaving Chengdu, she specially invited Pang Tong to discuss this matter.

It's just that she overestimated the efficiency of the combination of Fa Zheng and Pang Tong. Pang Tong still didn't understand Liu Yan in the end, or he was still not bold enough, and he supported the maintenance of stability, which led to Yin Guan changing his policy after his arrival, and missing the opportunity to dig out the root of the disease, which led to further erosion of the situation in Hanzhong. All kinds of bloody violence were staged repeatedly, and Hanzhong became the area with the highest crime rate in Sichuan, and was once shrouded in white terror.

In order to prepare for the marquis before, Liu Yan did not know the seriousness of the problem in Hanzhong for the first time, and now, a long time has passed since the marquis ceremony, and the people below finally have the courage to stab this matter in front of Liu Yan, which makes her angry and helpless: It seems that the Advice Hall is about to become a permanent institution. These people under her command are so worried about her! She can't be happy at all!

When she was in Changsha, she faced a survival problem and needed indomitable courage. At this time, Huang Zhong came to her side. This old man is older than the young man, but he is more enthusiastic than the young man. It was because of him by his side that Liu Yan had the opportunity to get involved in Changsha Taishou. This was her starting point and her leap.

After that, she already owned Jingzhou, and according to the goal she set for herself, it was enough for her and her sister to be safe and sound for the rest of their lives. Didn't Liu Cong just use the title of Jingzhou Mu in exchange for being raised as a pig for a lifetime?

At this time, Zhang Song came, she got the map, and she had the key to open the door in Shudi. So she has the mind and motivation to expand further. After that, things were logical, she entered Shu, Cao Cao came to attack, she expanded further and got Jiangdong. Officially embarked on the road of separating the world with Cao Cao.

Actually, she has no ambition for dividing the world into two parts and dividing the world into three parts or anything. At least not as ambitious as Cao Cao. She still asked for a place where she and those she cared about were safe and happy. It's just that the people she cares about, not just her sister, but now there are many people. They opened up territory for her, and she thought hard about their future.

In her previous life, she couldn't even afford her own life, but in this life, she has to carry the fate of so many people on her back. It's stressful, but I don't feel so tired. It may be that every step I have experienced in this life is more decisive than in the previous life, it may be that I have never thought of wronging myself in exchange for benefits in this life, all the decisions in this life have been made by myself after careful consideration, even if there are regrets, but I have never regretted it.

Liu Yan herself didn't realize that as she grew older, her personality became more obvious. Although she always told Xu Shu that she had no ambitions, she didn't expect that she could get to where she is today. But in fact, she has adapted very much to her current position, and is used to thinking and dealing with people from the perspective of a superior.

At least Fa Zheng felt deeply about this, Liu Yan was practicing calligraphy in the study in home clothes, and the whole study was empty. Before she spoke, Fa Zheng stood at the foot of the hall and "stood solemnly" for half an hour without daring to make a sound. If this had been Liu Zhang, with his quick temper, he had asked him to wait for so long to notify him to come, he would have thrown up his sleeves and left. But now, in the face of Liu Yan, he has no temper at all.

After waiting for a long time, I saw Liu Yan throw away the pen and raise her head, and said in great surprise: "Ah, you are here, you have been waiting for a long time, right? Come, sit here, I have something to talk to you about." ”

Fa Zheng hurriedly took off his shoes and walked forward quickly to pay respects: "Meet Your Highness." ”

Liu Yan waved her hand, motioned for him to sit opposite her, and poured her a glass of water with her own hands: "After coming back from Jingzhou, I have read a lot of official documents, you and Mr. Yin, you have done a lot of things in Hanzhong and put in a lot of hard work!"

"The subordinates don't dare to take credit, the people in Hanzhong are complicated, and the subordinates are struggling, not so much because they have done a lot of hard work, but because they have committed a lot of murder, and the people there hate their subordinates and others to the core, and they can't drink blood and eat meat!" Fa Zheng sighed: "If Your Highness has a good plan, please give me advice." ”

"You're honest. Liu Yan was so happy that the ruthless Fa Zheng confessed that he had committed many murders, how deep was this murder?

was ridiculed by the boss, Fazheng's old face couldn't help but turn red, his head bowed, and he was silent.

"I just have some ideas and want to talk to you. Liu Yan saw that Fa Zheng bowed her head, her heart was wide, and she couldn't help but grow serious: "It's really not good for you to do this, the movement is too big, not only the people in Hanzhong hate you when they see you, but even here in Chengdu, there are also many people who can't fight together with this matter, seeing that you hate, you say that you have done this thing a lot?"

Hearing his boss say this, Fa Zheng's head didn't even want to be raised. The little boss is only twenty-four, and the tone of his speech is already sixty-four.

"The subordinates and others know in their hearts, but what can we do if we don't do this? If our attitude softens, won't the remnants of Hanzhong jump even more happily? They can keep the clouds open and see the moon, won't we work in vain? At present, Zhang Lu has not been found, in case we are slack, maybe he will jump out and make waves. "Fa Zheng has always been justified. Although he is a little short of breath now, he thinks that he is still straight.

"Don't worry! I haven't finished my sentence yet!" Liu Yan said speechlessly: "To engage in the law, we must look at the problem comprehensively." That's right, there are many hidden dangers in Hanzhong, and it is difficult to dig them all out, and if the people's will is not towards us, it will be difficult for us to advance. These are all problems that are on the bright side, and everyone can see them. Liu Yan said as she filled her tea bowl with water: "However, have you ever thought that since there are so many problems in Hanzhong, no matter how much effort we expend, we can't achieve our goal, then why do we insist on hitting this wall? Hanzhong is already terminally ill and has no cure, so why don't we simply wait for it to die and tear it down and rebuild it?"

"This ...... This...... Do you mean that we should just let it go and let it fall into chaos?" Fa Zheng was stunned: "Do you want to break it and stand up, completely abandon the original people in Hanzhong, and rebuild a brand new Hanzhong......?"

"The people are good things!" Liu Yan sighed: "You can fight and farm." Roads can also be built, and mines can be opened. The territory in my hands is very large, but the population is too small, and I feel distressed when there are so few deaths. Jingzhou, I've been in business for so long, but the result is still sparsely populated, this time I went back, my new Jingzhou pastor still complained to me!" Liu Yan sighed half-truthfully. Zhuge Liang's sneezing in the blue sky and day did not stop.

"Subordinate...... The subordinates still don't quite understand......" Fa Zheng heard some voiceovers, but he was still not sure.

"Mr. Yin used to be the master of Uncle Liu's hand, although the name is the master book, in fact, it is a fictitious title and has no experience in governing the place, I put him in Hanzhong, just to take advantage of his lack of rules to abide by, to make some big moves, but unfortunately he is too cautious, too considerate of others, too careful!" Liu Yan used three "too" words, and sighed for a long time: "The people of Hanzhong miss the old master, and the homeland is difficult to leave." If you want to settle them, you have to dig deep and scrape the bones!"

"Subordinate...... The subordinates understood!" Fa Zheng heard that the Lingtai was clear. He had always wondered how a delicate little girl could create the career in front of him. Now he came to his senses. The ruthlessness in this girl's bones is no worse than that of a man, Huairou or something, it is all about her own people, and she is really ruthless to the enemy.

Sure enough, Liu Yan's next words confirmed his thoughts: "Sir wants to ask my opinion, and my opinion is that every time a rioter is caught, he will immediately investigate to the end, and he will sit in a row." The coolies needed to cultivate Shu Dao will only be too little, not too much. ”

"In this way, I'm afraid that there won't be many aborigines left in Hanzhong. "Fa is seeking truth from facts.

"It's up to you to do it. Liu Yan chuckled lightly, and said indifferently: "When Zhang Lu absconded, I asked you to publicize the property found from his mansion, and I also had to cramp and skin those Taoist leaders to set an example." In fact, it is to deal with the current situation, so that you can get some cheap. ”

"This ...... His Royal Highness is far-sighted, and his subordinates are really not as good. Fa Zheng was in a cold sweat at this time. The female boss is really ruthless! How could she treat her as a soft-hearted female doll? She is really blind.

Liu Yan's meaning is very clear, when the Fifth Route Army fought against Zhang Lu before, all the loot obtained was required to be publicized for three days and then sealed on the spot. If the local people have a clear mind, they should understand that Zhang Lu and those Taoist priests, in the name of faith, swaggered and deceived to make a lot of money, are not as noble as their self-propaganda, and it is not worth working for them at all.

But now it seems that the people of Hanzhong are wild and untamable, without Zhang Lu and Wudou Mijiao, they still do not obey the rule of law, this is the rhythm of wanting independence and self-government, it is really their spring and autumn dream!

The property left by Zhang Lu and his subordinates will eventually be used for the construction of Shudi, taken from the people for the people. But Liu Yan would not say this to the people, on the contrary, she would only order her army to raise the butcher's knife against those who opposed her.

I've been good enough to you, and if you still want to rebel against me, then I'm not welcome. If you have the ability, you can escape to the Cao family's territory on the other side of the mountain, and I won't stop you.

After unifying her opinions with Fa Zheng, Liu Yan took the opportunity of the regular meeting of the princess's mansion to remove Yin Guan from the position of Taishou in Hanzhong, and replaced him with Fa Zheng, so that Yin Guan would return to Chengdu immediately after seeing the decree.

She also specially informed Pang Tong and sent a military edict to Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, asking them to cooperate with Fa Zheng, and when necessary, to completely dig out the cancer in Hanzhong and protect Fa Zheng's personal safety.

As a result, the courtiers who were thinking about persuasion at the bottom all shut up, and Pang Tong was even more gloomy. He advocated easing the situation in Hanzhong, although the boss did not bury him openly, but the order slapped him in the face, so that he could recognize the boss's temper and understand the boss's methods.

However, he still doesn't feel that his idea of maintaining stability is wrong. After being cut by the boss, he felt a little strange in his heart, and he wanted to speak but felt that with his eloquence, it was impossible to convince the boss. But if you don't say the words in your heart, you will be sick, Pang Tong thought about it and went to Xu Shu's mansion with a full stomach of "words from the heart", and came to find the princess's teacher to talk heartily.
