Look at Guo Bin's dusty clothes, dressed as a long journey, obviously he hasn't even returned to Guo's mansion. Yang Biao was moved in his heart and secretly sighed that his father knew people.

Although Guo Bin is young and has not yet reached the crown, his status is extremely valuable. In addition to the former Han Weiqing, Huo Qubing and others, or at the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty, if the title of the Marquis of Yangzhai County appeared on the head of such a young person, it would probably be a raid. I think that at the beginning, even when today's son was just a pavilion before he became the Son of Heaven. Besides, this Xianbei Zhonglang general, thinking that when the Yellow Turban Rebellion first started, Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun were ordered to lead the three-way army to exterminate the Yellow Turban bandits for the survival and rise of the Han Dynasty.

As for the Yingchuan County Guard, it is even more incredible. In particular, compared with officials who have been promoted by military merit, it is more difficult for a qualified administrative official to be promoted, and the means required and the ability to coordinate all parties are more demanding.

But anyone who is in the army, as long as he is brave and careful, brave and good at fighting, or a little lucky, will get credit very quickly. Like Guo Bin, who is a local wealthy family and has a lot of wealth in his family, he has the qualifications to convene the tribe, and his starting point is much higher than that of others. The so-called Taoyuan Three Alliances in history are not because the three brothers feel that life is not rushing, and they want to use the little savings that Zhang Fei saved by killing pigs to gamble. Therefore, it is extremely fast to obtain a position by virtue of military merits, and Liu Bei in history became the county lieutenant of Anxi County by virtue of his merit in exterminating the Yellow Turban.

However, although military merit is a reward for meritorious people to obtain local administrative positions, being an administrative official is not a march to fight, especially the local number one, which is undoubtedly an extremely challenging technical job. If you want to be a good county keeper or a county commander, your connections, skills, brains, and experience are all indispensable. Therefore, in history, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion was basically pacified and the world tended to be stable, the imperial court had an order: if anyone became an official because of military merits, they must be selected and eliminated.

At that time, the superintendent wanted to dismiss Liu Bei, and after Liu Bei learned the news, he went to the post station where the superintendent stayed to ask to see him, but the superintendent refused to see him. It is said that this is also quite in line with the morality of officialdom, after all, it is not a good thing for a supervisor to be unclear with the supervised person, and at this time, who knows if Liu Bei took gold and silver to bribe?

However, Liu Bei held a grudge against this, so he tied up the superintendent and whipped him two hundred times, and fled with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to abandon the official. It can be seen from this that Liu Bei is indeed a ruthless character who is very bold and dares to go out, and it is no wonder that he can achieve great things in the future. And Luo Guanzhong placed the matter of whipping and supervising the post on Zhang Fei's body in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which not only highlights Zhang Fei's fierce and irascible character, but also shows that Liu Bei is a law-abiding five-good young man, which is quite beneficial to maintaining Liu Bei's orthodox image, which can be described as well-intentioned. Although this is not like a pen sharpening the Spring and Autumn Period, his method of shaping the characters is really eye-popping.

However, putting aside personal emotional preferences, if you look at this matter from the perspective of the Han court, it is a different reason.

Although it is not ruled out that Liu Hong, the son of heaven, wants to take the opportunity to vacate these positions and take the opportunity to sell them for a good price, if it is purely from the perspective of being conducive to work, it is not unreasonable. After all, people who can fight wars may not necessarily be good officials, especially local administrative officials, who are the most people-friendly positions. The so-called "two brushes" refer to the investment of talents such as clerks, as well as the support of local tycoons. Don't underestimate the small county ordinance or county lieutenant, the water in it can be deep. At the beginning, Guo Bin was able to sit firmly in the position of Yang Zhai Ling, in addition to the support of a large number of talents under him, he naturally had the extensive support of various wealthy families in Yangzhai County.

Considering the above factors, if we analyze the measures of the imperial court to depose those who have obtained official positions because of military merits from a purely technical point of view, although there is no lack of suspicion of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, it is also reasonable.

Guo Bin is different, although he was indeed able to become a leader because of the importance of the Son of Heaven, but when he was in office as the commander of Yangzhai County, he created many things, and after serving as the commander of Yangzhai County for only one year, he expanded the population of the county by one-third through the measures of resettlement of displaced people. The resettlement of displaced people is a real political achievement, and it cannot be faked at all. This matter is a headache no matter who it puts on it, but it makes Guo Bin, a newcomer who has just entered the officialdom, solve it with three punches and two feet. Later, the development of Yangzhai County and even the entire Yingchuan County was obvious to all, and no one used Guo Bin's young age as a reason to deny him as a landlord.

Therefore, Guo Bin, the county guard of Yingchuan, came up step by step in a down-to-earth manner. It is said that with his past achievements, it is still light to give him such a position, and there are inevitably rumors such as "how light the court's reward is". Fortunately, Guo Bin is indeed too young, and the princes of the DPRK and China are barely able to prevaricate on the grounds of "protecting" young officials and fearing provoking discussions.

In addition, today's Guo Bin was awarded the title of "Breaking Xianbei Zhonglang General" for his exploits in breaking Xianbei Dashan Yu Helian and establishing the three cities outside the Saiwai, and was given the Zhongxing Sword by the Son of Heaven, and there were 2,000 personal guards to protect him, so now he is a real important minister of the country and a well-known senior cadre, which is much higher than the position of the general county guard.

However, it is precisely because of the different status of Guo Bin today, coupled with the unmistakable favor of Liu Hong, the son of heaven, that his every move has attracted more and more attention. Guo Bin is the county guard of Yingchuan, and he has the responsibility to guard the territory, and he can't easily leave the jurisdiction as usual. He sneaked to Jiaozhou, after all, it was a remote place, and it was not too eye-catching, and the court could still turn a blind eye and not care. But now he actually entered Beijing without being recruited by the imperial court, which is extremely taboo. Therefore, Yang Biao was so surprised when he saw Guo Bin coming in person, of course, he was also very moved.

At the beginning, Yang Ci once talked to Yang Biao about Guo Bin, saying that this person "has responsibility, attaches great importance to affection, is broad-minded, and has a firm will, and is worthy of deep friendship." "Now it seems that it was.

Yang Ci is a profound scholar, is a generation of scripture masters, and is an emperor, a high Wanglong, plus Hongnong Yang's protégés are all over the world, and there are many people who come to mourn today. Therefore, Yang Biao, a filial son, did not have the time to say a few more words to Guo Bin. Fortunately, Yuan Shao had already come to Yang's mansion, and when he saw Guo Bin arriving, he pulled him aside to talk.

Just as there was an endless stream of guests who came to mourn, a small yellow door suddenly arrived holding the holy decree. The people were not in a hurry, for the candlesticks and other things that should be prepared to welcome the decree were already in place, just waiting for the decree to come down. As usual, when an important minister of the court dies, the court always has to make a conclusion about the deeds of his life. Yang Ci's status is noble, and he is a veritable emperor, and the Son of Heaven issued a decree to favor his son and nephew, which is exactly what he should do.

The book said: "Sikong Lin Jin Marquis, Huayue is up, Jiude is pure, Sanye Prime Minister, and the auxiliary country is loyal." In the early days of the past, he taught the Tao and became a meritorious person. The merits of the teacher are known both inside and outside, and the affairs of the officials are also diligent. Dunde Yunyuan, loyal and flattering, personally served with Shangshu. Commenting on Zhang Jiao's conspiracy, the provocation has not been revealed. Give Chen cheap, and want to slow down the punishment. Let virtue be both light, and Jiamou will be constant. ”

This praise is not high, and it also reveals from the side that although Hongnong Yang is in the center of the whirlpool of the party's disaster, it is still as stable as Mount Tai, that is, their close relationship with the Son of Heaven.

As a wealthy family in the northwest, the Hongnong Yang family is located in Sili and between the two capitals, and the family background has the characteristics of the northwest wealthy family, but it is also different from the wealthy families in the border areas. In the chaotic government of the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, this family, as a wealthy family of scholars, not only fought against relatives and eunuchs, but also held a high position in the court for a long time.

First, although the Hongnong Yang family is a wealthy family in the northwest, it did not start by military merits, but a famous family of scholars in the world, and several generations of emperors, originally "Ming Confucian", and "teacher skills", so it is extremely difficult for the close ministers of the Son of Heaven from the imperial power to bring it down. Yang Ci's father, Yang Bing, after Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, was recruited into the court because he was familiar with the "Book of Shang", and was awarded the Taizhong Doctor and Zuozhong Lang General. The so-called persuasion is also spoken.

After the words of praise for Yang Ci were finished, the most concerned focus came: "Give the name Wenlie, and take the title of Yang Biao with his son." ”

Wen Lie can be described as a beautiful saying: "The longitude and latitude of heaven and earth are said to be texts; Moral erudition; Be diligent and ask questions; Benevolence and love for the people; The people are remarkable; Bestow the title of the people; meritorious to calm the people; Bingde respects the industry and says martyrdom. ”

Although Yang Ci died, he had obtained this good word, which is enough to prove that the holy family of the Yang family is still there. Since Yang Ci's son Yang Biao is the lord, with his relationship with Liu Hong, the son of heaven, he wants to wait for him to be out of the filial piety period. After all, as Yang Ci grew old, Yang Biao gradually took on the role of the pillar of the Yang family. At present, the position of this guard captain began in Qin, one of the nine Qings, and was inherited by the Han Dynasty, as the official who commanded the guards to guard the palace ban. It can be said that he is a high authority, and he can't take it unless he is trusted and valued by the Son of Heaven.

Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, praised Yang Ci so much, not only to show his respect for the teacher as the Son of Heaven, but also to calm the hearts of the people: But whoever is me, even if he dies, he can't treat you badly. It is also to appease the Hongnong Yang family, which is one of his strong supporters of the position of the Son of Heaven, and the two sides are inextricably linked.

Of course, in addition, there is no intention of knocking the wealthy family in the Central Plains. Because although Hongnong Yang is a family of poetry and books, he is a native of Guanxi, and for so many years, although the Yang family has also been on the cusp of opposing eunuchs, the connection with the wealthy families in the Central Plains is not close. In the view of Liu Hong, the son of heaven, the lifting of the ban on the party was a compromise that had to be made in response to the rebellion of the Yellow Turban thieves and the imperial court, which needed to borrow the strength of the wealthy families of the Central Plains. Now that the Yellow Turban Army is gone, the imperial court wants to use the power of the Central Plains wealthy clan to appease the place, but it has to be beaten in many ways. Therefore, using the good reputation of Yang Ci to beat the wealthy families in the Central Plains is also the proper meaning of the question.

Liu Hong has been on the throne for 18 years, and he has pulled one faction to fight another, and the method of balancing within the court is naturally perfect. Nowadays, the call for strengthening the power of county guards and county commanders, encouraging local recruits of village warriors, and exterminating the remnants of the Yellow Turbans is getting louder and louder. Although Liu Hong knew in his heart that this was all done by the wealthy families of the Central Plains, he still had to use their strength to maintain the stability of the situation, so this policy was as lenient as day by day. However, the so-called slap to a sweet date, if you only give a sweet date but forget to slap it, the superior is bound to lose his prestige; If you only slap and don't give sweet dates to eat, it is easy to chill the hearts of the people below.

Therefore, Liu Hong gradually opened up the military power of the governors of prefectures, counties and counties, and gave sweet dates to the wealthy people of the Central Plains; While reusing the northwest wealthy family and slapping the Central Plains wealthy family, it is also an imperial trick. Of course, the so-called reuse of the Northwest wealthy clan is naturally not just a matter of honoring Yang Ci, although the Northwest warlord Dong Zhuo has been defeated repeatedly, he still occupies a high position, how can it not be the fruit of this general situation?
