Just when everyone was tense, Liu Yan suddenly came out and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the root cause of the continuous outbreak of chaos across the country this year is that the state assassins and county governors of various states bribed officials and exploited the people, which will eventually lead to rebellion and separation. ”

"Ministers, we should select those honest clans and important ministers to serve as the state pastors of each state, so as to guard and stabilize the world."

"Hiss——!"

As soon as Liu Yan's words fell, several people gasped, this is the rhythm of dispersing the imperial power and strengthening the power of the locality!

The "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms" during the time of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty is still vivid!

When Emperor Han Ling was hesitating, Ma Chao immediately stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Yan's words must not be adopted!" ”

Good you Liu Yan, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, no matter all kinds of natural disasters and man-made disasters, they were far less vicious than Liu Yan's tricks!

History said, "Abolish Shi Limu!" ”

Although on the surface, the Eastern Han Dynasty was due to the rupture of the triangular relationship between the royal clan, the eunuch group, and the foreign relatives and important ministers, which led to its demise.

In fact, the Yellow Turban failed to overthrow the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it did it to a royal clansman, Liu Yan, to look at the system of the Eastern Han Dynasty first.

Prefectures, counties, and counties are the main three-level administrative divisions, with a state including several county seats, and a county including several county seats.

The state assassin only has the right to supervise a county, the county governor only has the administrative power to control a county, and the county governor only has the military power to control a county.

The state has a history of assassination, but it has no administrative or military power; The county is under the county guard and the county governor, but there is no supervision power.

The relationship between the three is that the power is scattered, independent of each other, and mutually contained, and only the emperor can control the three powers, which is the foundation of the centralized system of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Although the Eastern Han Dynasty produced a large number of young emperors, the three powers were controlled by eunuchs for a long time, and they were coveted by relatives, but due to the mediation of important ministers in the court and the royal family, the two sides could not tear their faces after all.

However, Liu Yan's move to abolish Shi Limu made every state appear a state pastor who integrated supervision, administrative power, and military power, and a warlord system of self-respect was formed.

The most typical is the Runan Yuan family, and the Hongnong Yang family, both of whom are the third dukes of the fourth generation, and the protégés are all over the world.

However, the Yuan clan held three powers in the prefecture and county, competing for the world; And the Yang family is in the palace, with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, controlled by Cao Cao, who has three powers, in the final analysis, it is the power that comes out of the barrel of the gun, and the Han family has the final say in the world.

It also laid the groundwork for the division of the later heroes and the Three Kingdoms.

As a future person who traveled to the Eastern Han Dynasty, he knew the viciousness of Liu Yan's intentions, and it was naturally impossible for Ma Chao to let Shi Limu's proposal pass.

With Ma Chaoyan to stop him, Liu Yan narrowed his eyes, and there was a viciousness in his eyes: "General Ma, what do you mean?" ”

He sneered: "Could it be that General Ma thinks that he has some meritorious deeds, so he wants to control the government and can't do it?" ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he was furious: "You! ”

Liu Yan's two heart-wrenching words aroused the suspicion of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and Ma Chao said: "Your Majesty, whether it is the Yellow Turban or the Qiang Chaos, the last general can lead the army to destroy them." ”

"However, once all the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty are controlled by the state pastors, it will inevitably lead to a rapid decline in the authority of the central government, and the state pastors will support their own troops and wait for the opportunity to cause chaos in the world!"

Ma Chao bowed his head heavily and wept: "Your Majesty, it is because Emperor Guangwu has thought of this layer of stakes that he will use the state assassination history to supervise the states!" ”

It's amazing, Ma Chao actually said the core issue, Liu Yan scolded angrily: "You fart!" ”

"One time, another time. By the time of Emperor Guangwu, the country had stabilized, and there was no need to use state pastors to strengthen local control. ”

"And now, the Yellow Turban and Qiang Rebellion are everywhere, and the states have to constantly ask the central government for help because they don't have enough rights, so the imperial court has missed the opportunity again and again, which will strengthen the momentum of the thief's rebellion."

"In addition, the position of the state pastor is held by the important ministers of the court and the royal family, they are highly respected and loyal to the royal family, therefore, according to the opinion of the ministers, after the state pastors take office, they will only quickly quell the chaos and return the Han world to a bright future!"

Ma Chao wanted to speak again, but was waved by Emperor Han Ling: "According to Liu Yan's words, Liu Yan will be appointed as the pastor of Yizhou, and he will take office immediately to clear the thieves near Yizhou." ”

Liu Yan was overjoyed and knelt on the ground: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"What..."

The abolition of Shi Limu is still settled, which means that the era of competing for hegemony is coming, and the fuse should be on Dong Zhuo's body.

As long as Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died, the ten permanent servants were in chaos in the palace, and the group of relatives headed by the general He Jin formed a confrontation situation, and when the two sides were not dying, Dong Zhuo led the army into Sanfu again, and it was out of control!

Thinking of Dong Zhuo, the dog thief, Ma Chao immediately asked: "Your Majesty, I don't know if Lord Dong Mushou has returned to Bingzhou?" ”

Emperor Han Ling shook his head and said, "I, remembering Dong Aiqing's outstanding achievements, and I miss my homeland very much, so I asked him to return to Liangzhou as a shepherd. ”

"This, this!"

got Dong Zhuo's message, but it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, hitting Ma Chao, if Dong Zhuo was still working as a herding guard in Bingzhou, Ma Chao would not be afraid of him, but Dong Zhuo returned to Liangzhou, which was very bad.

If Dong Zhuo is still in the state, the territory he actually controls is only the three counties of Taiyuan, Yanmen, and Shangdang, and the other 6 counties are all under Ma Chao's rule, that is to say, Jia Xu and others can watch Dong Zhuo and prevent Dong Zhuo from messing around.

And now, Dong Zhuo has returned to Liangzhou to work as a herdsman, and Ma Chao Group is beyond his reach, and he can no longer watch Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo is swimming into the sea and can carry out his ambitious plans.

In addition, Ma Chao himself, who was awarded the title of the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden, was placed under house arrest in the Luoyang Palace, and suddenly lost his military power, without the will of Emperor Han Ling, he couldn't get out at all!

But he can't disobey the holy decree, and it is even more impossible to refuse the title of the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden, otherwise, with the addition of swords, the political enemy only needs an excuse to disobey the holy decree, and he will be killed in an instant!

was originally a good dream start, but it was suddenly collapsed by Ma Chao himself.

When the next dynasty came, the hundred officials were at the gate of the main hall, waiting for the little eunuchs to put shoes on them, and the little eunuch who put shoes on Ma Chao lowered his voice and whispered: "General Ma, the general is invited, I hope the general can enter the mansion." ”

"Huh?"

When Ma Chao heard this, he remained silent, quietly walked out of the palace, called Ma Teng and Fu Bian, and went with him to see He Jin.

In the General's Mansion, Ma Chao saw Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Bao Hong, Zhao Rong and others, except for Qian Shuo and Feng Fang, the remaining 6 people of the Eighth Captain of the West Garden, all of them were here.

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth raised slightly, a fine light flashed in his eyes, and he said: "General Ma, since that day, you almost kicked Cao's crotch, it has been a long time since you were gone, and now we meet again!" ”

This guy, Ma Chao chuckled: "Congratulations to Master Cao, who has been appointed to the post of military captain!" ”

Yuan Shao laughed and walked over and said, "Why do you need to be like this? We are all under the command of His Majesty's personal guards, and we should serve the country. ”

That being said, but Yuan Shao also saw Ma Chao for the first time, and he had always listened to Ma Chao's rumors, and now he saw me, he was really amazed.

Ma Chao is only 9 years old, and he has already shown his edge, and above today's court, he is even more tongue-fighting Zhao Zhong, Qian Shuo and other eunuchs, and attacking Liu Yan, Cui Lie and other clans and important ministers, it can be said that he is full of combat effectiveness and is young and vigorous!

When I thought that when I was 9 years old, I was still playing with Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others, and I was really ashamed.

Here, Yuan Shao is looking at Ma Chao carefully, Ma Chao is also looking at the Yuan brothers, although Yuan Shao is from the Yuan family, but he has a dignified life, not angry and arrogant, and he does have a virtuous king's style.

On the other hand, Yuan Shu B, although he is the authentic son of the Yuan family, is born with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, and his eyes show a treacherous color, and he knows that he is a treacherous villain at a glance.

After everyone finished greetings, He Jin stepped on the point to appear, and when he met everyone, he scolded as soon as he opened his mouth: "This group of eunuchs dare to do this!" ”

In the words, with a huge resentment towards Zhao Zhong and Qian Shuo, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and the others glanced at each other, nodded slightly, Yuan Shao immediately spoke, and said: "The general is angry, since it is His Majesty's will, we should keep quiet and control the Praetorian Guard, cut off Feng Fang first, and then find an opportunity..."

As he spoke, Yuan Shao stretched out his palm, pointed into a knife, made a fierce head cutting action, and said fiercely: "Kill all the thieves!" ”

He Jin was overjoyed when he heard Yuan Shao's words, and asked, "Do the rest of you also have this intention?" ”

The 6 Xiyuan captains, together with Yuan Shu, Ma Teng, Fu Bian and others, all spoke: "I am willing to obey the general's order!" ”

"Good!"

He Jin shouted hello, these characters in front of him, with different identities, represent the will of the wealthy family and the meritorious general, the most important point, whether it is Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, or Ma Chao, all belong to the forces of foreign relatives!

(Note: When Cao Cao was the lieutenant of northern Luoyang, he once scolded Qian Shuo's uncle Qiantu in accordance with the law, and was beaten to death, his cousin-in-law Song Qi was killed by the eunuchs, the general Dou Wu and Taifu Chen Fan plotted to kill the eunuchs and failed, Cao Cao wrote a letter to intercede and was hated by the eunuchs, so although Cao Cao is the adopted grandson of the great eunuch Cao Teng, he belongs to the forces of foreign relatives).

Since all the relatives and forces supported He Jin, the anger in his chest was swept away, and he suddenly felt arrogant, and said excitedly: "The day when things are done, it will be the time for you and me to step into the opposition!" ”

He Jin, for the first time in front of outsiders, exposed his ambitions.
