Chapter 238: The Son of Heaven, like God, needs me to shepherd the lamb for him

The news that the main force of the Yellow Turban Army was completely pacified soon spread to Luoyang, the imperial capital!

The Emperor was apparently very happy that the crumbling empire had regained peace, so he was prepared to give a great reward to those who had made meritorious contributions to pacifying the Yellow Turban Army.

According to the trajectory of the original history, Huang Song was named the general of the right chariot cavalry and led the Jizhou pastor, while Suning unexpectedly became the general of the left chariot and led the Liangzhou pastor.

Suning was not satisfied with this result, and he immediately wrote to ask for the resignation of the general of the Left Che Cavalry, and asked the imperial court to appoint Liangzhou as a pastor, and return to his hometown to participate in the Liangzhou counterinsurgency.

His request was originally unreasonable, you must know that the 13 states in the world at this time are only supervision areas, not substantive first-level administrative divisions, although the establishment of the post of assassin, and the power of the assassin is relatively large, but in fact, the counties under the states still have the actual civil power.

This also means that Suning's request is actually beyond the scope of what the Han court can accept. If he thinks so, then the 13 states of the world will become essentially a first-level administrative division, and the governor of each state will have actual control over this area.

This means that the person who serves as the state pastor will control 1/13 of the price of gold. If such a person rebelled, it would pose a huge threat to the whole world, and the imperial court and His Majesty the Emperor had just experienced a large-scale rebellion, and they did not want to take such a risk at this moment to go to any state pastor of the people.

However, Suning's proposal was not without supporters in the imperial court. There is a clan named Liu Yan, who took the lead in standing up and supporting Suning's theory.

Suning had some knowledge of the situation of this benevolent brother, and according to the original history, he would make a proposal to the then Emperor Ling of Han three years later, in 188 AD, in view of the greed of the local officials and the continuous rebellion in the local area, he thought that such an official position as a state pastor should be established to manage Yizhou, so he became the first state pastor in the history of the time.

From then on, he and his son Liu Zhang began the situation of opera Yizhou, and it was not until Liu Bei entered Yizhou that their control of Shuzhong ended.

In other words, this is a power lover with his own wildness, his goal is likely to be Gray Jiuding, taking advantage of the chaos in the world, to live the emperor's addiction, you must know that there is no shortage of clans like him in every dynasty, but unfortunately, until he died, the world was not chaotic enough to allow him to ascend the throne and become the emperor! And Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao successively coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, so that he could not obtain enough names to be the emperor in that remote place in Yizhou.

His situation has not changed much until Liu Bei occupies Yizhou. It was not until Cao Pi abolished Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty that Liu Bei slowly became emperor in Shu. At that time, he had reached the end of his life, and before the emperor's seat was hot, he had already passed away, but his stupid son was cheaper.

But now, this situation seems to have changed, due to his own influence, Liu Yan actually put forward this idea at the beginning of 185 AD, and this guy actually took a week to talk about things again, as in history, and took the initiative to recommend himself, asking the emperor to send him to Yizhou to rectify the rule of officials and quell the rebellion.

The Emperor was not really interested in rectifying the rule of officials, but he still lacked a sense of security in his heart, so when the careerist mentioned to him the suppression of the rebellion, he was inclined to agree to his suggestion at first thought.

However, how can Yizhou's judgment be compared to Liangzhou, you must know that those anti-thieves in Liangzhou, but they have played the banner of the Qing monarch's side, and are attacking the Sanfu area, at this time, the right Fufeng and the left Feng Yi, I am afraid that they are carrying out hard resistance, if they occupy the Sanfu area, then the Han Dynasty not only lost an important granary, but also lost the buffer zone of the capital to the outside world.

This is something that the emperor cannot tolerate, so Liu Yan's suggestion has not been approved by the Son of Heaven, and Suning's appointment has been edicted to the world.

The moment Suning received the holy decree, he immediately set off to leave Luoyang, the land of right and wrong, and in his words, he couldn't wait to return to his hometown and start his long-planned judging work. The eunuch who heard his statement praised him for his loyalty and bravery! However, in fact, Suning did not return to Liangzhou directly to the west, but went directly north to Hanoi County, where he visited Sima's family again, and asked them to help her buy acres of land in nearby prefectures and counties, and he was ready to use the harvest of these acres as military rations for the sixth and seventh columns, and these two columns would also be stationed here, and would not return to Liangzhou with him to participate in the counterinsurgency, nominally, these two columns were the last barrier to guard against the Liangzhou rebels in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and he carefully set up in order to protect the Han Emperor in Luoyang. Therefore, even the local officials can't say anything about him. But the Sima family was keenly aware that behind this matter, Suning had obviously prepared other means, but the mutual benefit between them and Suning had not yet penetrated to the point where they could find out what Suning was selling, so this matter only attracted their attention and was not directly put on the table for discussion.

What's more, many children of the Sima family will continue to follow Suning to Liangzhou to study. In the future, the cooperation between the two sides will enter a new period.

As the rebellion was spreading to the Guanzhong region, Suning could not return to Liangzhou directly through Youfufeng, and he had to make a detour to merge the prefectures, return to Beidi County through Shangjun, and then go to Wuwei County and Hanyang County under his control, and go to the major counties under his command to declare the holy decree given by His Majesty the Emperor.

Of course, before he went to Shangjun, he still had time to visit some of the influential figures in Bingzhou, such as the current Bingzhou Assassin Shi Ding Yuan, and his righteous son Lu Bu, whom he had just accepted a few years ago.

Suning once heard a certain strategist under Dong Zhuo's account mention that this Ding Yuan was an important suspect in the murder of Lu Bu's father, however, Suning did not remember that there was such a record in history, and judging from Lu Bu's performance, he knew nothing about this matter. In this Han Dynasty that rules the world with filial piety, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to hide from his son and kill his father, especially after the son becomes an adult, almost all of them will follow his father and learn the way of life.

In fact, this Ding Yuan is a simple-minded, reckless man with developed limbs, and his previous official title was Captain Wu Meng. Although this is just a miscellaneous captain, Ding Yuan likes this name very much, because it fits his character very well, but it is the errand of assassination, which makes him always feel that something is wrong.

When Suning was talking to him, he easily understood his thoughts, this person has little defenselessness against any outsider, which may be the reason why Lu Bu believes in him very much, but this makes Suning even more puzzled, since this person is so straightforward, then how did he hide from Lu Bu and kill his father?

Until Suning left, he didn't think about this matter, fortunately, the communication between them and Lu Bu will not be interrupted because of this matter, you know, the rebellion in Liangzhou has not only affected the Sanfu region, but also affected some counties and counties in Bingzhou.

Shangjun, the closest to Yangzhou, is naturally the first to bear the brunt. Ding Yuan was ready to mobilize the army at this time and go there to quell the rebellion, however, Suning was not ready to let him see the matter of his buddy. So he said to Ding Yuan as if it were true or false: "When the Son of Heaven needs me to shepherd Liangzhou, of course, it is my duty to do so, and after I go back, I will definitely clean up those rebels and let them withdraw from the territory of the state as soon as possible, but the safety of the Son of Heaven is the thing that we should worry about the most as courtiers, once I go to Liangzhou, the situation in Luoyang is beyond the reach of the whip, and when the time comes, I will ask Brother Ding to pay more attention to the movements of the remnants of the Yellow Turban in the Central Plains, and don't let them threaten the Son of Heaven too well!" ”
