Although Spirit Emperor Liu Hong tried his best to hide his impatience, how could Liu Yan not hear it? But he pretended not to hear it, because it was too important for him and his wife and son.

"The minister dared to ask Your Majesty, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there have been rebellions in various states and counties in the world, but what does Your Majesty think is the reason?" Liu Yan asked respectfully, and after speaking, he looked at Liu Hong with a calm expression, as if he didn't see Liu Hong's extremely gloomy expression after hearing these words.

"What does Liu Taichang mean, why don't you just say it?" Liu Hong asked in a low tone, staring at Liu Yan with dead eyes, if it weren't for Liu Yan being a member of the royal family, I'm afraid that just what he said just now, Liu Hong would have ordered someone to push him out and cut it down, right?

suddenly changed from an uncle to Liu Taichang, if Liu Yan couldn't hear Liu Hong's anger and killing intent, then he would have lived in vain for so many years. However, this situation obviously did not surprise Liu Yan, so his expression was still so calm, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the reason why there are so many rebellions is mainly because those local officials continue to exploit the people!" ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yan glanced at Liu Hong, and after seeing that the anger on his face had disappeared, he said again, "The reason why so many people followed when Zhang Jiao Uprising was in the past was not because they were all believers in the Taiping Dao, but because they couldn't live if they didn't rebel!" Years of natural disasters have left the people short of money and food. Most of the money and food distributed by the imperial court for disaster relief were taken away by the greedy officials, leaving only a very small part of the people ......"

"And the minister heard that the reason why the Qiang people rebelled was also because of the oppression of local officials for many years......" Liu Yan kept saying.

"What does the clan uncle think?" Liu Hong asked in a deep voice when he heard this, but although his tone was still flat, he could still hear the trace of eagerness from it.

Of course, he couldn't help but be in a hurry, because if the rebellions in various places today, he might not be able to overthrow the Han Dynasty, after all, the Han Dynasty lasted for so many years, how could it be overthrown so easily? But if Liu Hong is forced to give way? That's something I can't say. After all, as mentioned earlier, Liu Hong's position has become more and more unstable during this period of time, otherwise he, who has been handing over the task of dealing with the doctor to Zhang Rang and others, would not have personally intervened.

"The minister thought that since it was the local officials who had the problem, then they should start with the local officials. Those scholars and doctors who were honest, honest, and respected could be selected from the court to serve as local governors of prefectures and counties. In addition, since there are rebellions everywhere today, the minister also proposes to restore the previous state pastoral rights, just like the Marquis of Wushuang. Only in this way can we guard the place and restore the stability of the world! Liu Yan said respectfully.

As mentioned earlier, the office of state pastor was not abolished, but at different times, the state pastor itself had completely different rights. It's like when Li Yi first served as the governor of Bingzhou, except for his official rank and name, he was actually no different from the history of the assassin.

In the past, the right of the state pastor in Liu Yan's mouth is the right that Li Yi now has as a state pastor, simply put, it is to control the military and political power of the entire state, and at the same time appoint local officials in the state by himself. This kind of right can be known by listening alone, so only in rare times will there be a state pastor with such a right. After all, what emperor is willing to give away the power in his hands to others?

"This ......" Liu Hong heard this, watching Liu Yan fall into deep thought, but he didn't know what he was thinking. After a long while, Liu Hongcai breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he was going to spit out all the stuffiness in his chest, "I will consider this matter, and the next court meeting, the clan uncle may wish to bring this matter up and see what the scholars and doctors mean." ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Liu Yan hurriedly said when he heard this. This result is undoubtedly the best result, after all, he is not naïve enough to nod his head as soon as he talks to Liu Hong, even if Liu Hong agrees in his heart, it is impossible not to discuss such a major matter with the scholars.

A few days later, at the court meeting, after Liu Yan put forward this proposal in front of many scholars, eunuchs, He Jin and others, all of a sudden, the court exploded.

"Your Majesty! The previous grant of such a big power to the Wushuang Marquis was only to allow the Wushuang Marquis to quell the rebellion of the Hu people in the state, but completely restore the rights of the former state pastor and make large-scale appointments, which ...... This ......" Zhang Rang said anxiously, and even began to stutter in the end.

Well, he can't help but be in a hurry, but the reason is very simple, on the one hand, it is naturally because the power of the state pastor is too big. On the other hand, the person who is clear, honest, and virtuous in Liu Yan's mouth, there is not half of them on the eunuch side! There is no way, what kind of person enters what kind of circle, even if he is a person who is incomparably incorruptible by nature, and lets them mix with Zhang every day, he will eventually become a sycophant who is corrupt and bribery.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Liu Taichang said has some truth, now is a special period, and restoring the rights of the former state pastor will indeed help to quell the rebellion in various places more quickly. However, in terms of candidates, they need to be carefully considered. Situ Yuan Kui said respectfully.

"He Qing, what do you think?" Liu Hong was not surprised when he heard the words of the two, and turned his head to look at the general He Jin and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty! The minister thinks that what Zhang Changshou said does have a certain amount of truth, the power of the state pastor in the past is too great, once something happens...... He Jin said respectfully, "But what Yuan Situ said also has a certain truth, if there are a large number of rebellions in various places today, if you want to calm down as soon as possible, it is not a good way to appoint and dismiss the state pastor......"

In a word, most people involuntarily rolled their eyes in their hearts, because He Jin's words were equivalent to not saying anything.

However, since He Jin did not participate, the result of the struggle between the scholar group and the eunuch group was also very easy to guess, after all, the scholar group was numerous and powerful, and each of them could quote scriptures, how could it be compared with the eunuch group?

"In that case, in your opinion, who can serve as the governor of the state?" Seeing this situation, Liu Hong quickly announced the end of the struggle. Of course, this situation will occur mainly because he does have such a plan. After all, rebellions everywhere like today have almost become his heart disease.

It's just that when they heard Liu Hong's words, Yuan Kui and the others all kept silent, and just looked at Liu Yan in unison. After all, this kind of thing, it is obviously not the same thing to recommend anyone, it is better to let Liu Yan, who made this suggestion, say it himself.
