"Half a month ago, Lu Qiang, the middle permanent servant, was framed by Zhang Rang and others, and was forced to commit suicide, His Majesty promoted the hook shield and ordered Han Kui to be the middle permanent servant, then Han Kui had already been in cahoots with Zhang Rang, Song Dian and others, and since then there have been no loyal and virtuous people among the eunuchs." Walking out of the General's Mansion, Yuan Shao was in a particularly depressed mood, looking up to the sky and sighing.

Yuan Shao was very disappointed with He Jin's performance. is so open-minded, I am afraid that there will be more than enough success and more failure.

The next day, at the time of the pilgrimage.

Liu Hong's face was full of red light, sitting on the couch and swaying. Lele Taotao.

"Zongzheng, what I asked you to check yesterday is clear?" Liu Hong sat in the deepest part of the palace and said majestically.

"Your Majesty, you and Captain Huben Liu Fan are both the fifteenth grandson of Emperor Gaozu and the seventh grandson of Emperor Guangwu." Zongzheng Liu Yan got up and said to Liu Hong.

Liu Yan is a descendant of Liu Yu, the fifth son of Emperor Jing, King Gong of Hanlu. Zong Zheng, this position was held by the clan surnamed Liu during the two Han dynasties.

The first Gaozu Liu Bang - the second Emperor Wen Liu Heng - the third Emperor Jing Liu Qi - the fourth Changsha King Liu Fa - the fifth Liu Mai - the sixth Liu Wai - the sixth Liu Hui - the seventh Liu Qin - the ninth Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu - the tenth Ming Emperor Liu Zhuang - the 11th Han Zhang Emperor Liu Wei - the 12th Hejian King Liu Kai - the 13th Xie Du Pavilion Marquis Liu Shu - the 14th Liu Chang - the 15th Liu Hong.

It is calculated that Liu Hong is the seventh grandson of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu. And Liu Fan happens to be the seventh grandson of Liu Xiu.

"Liu Fanzhen's imperial brother is also. You didn't tell me earlier that the country has this pillar. Liu Hong said brightly. There was also a hint of blaming the ministers in his tone.

Liu Hong learned that Liu Fan was already famous all over the world last year, and it was not until May this year that he was recommended by Taiwei Yang Ci. If Liu Fan had been let out earlier, it is estimated that the fire of the Yellow Turban would have been extinguished by now.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the ministers below looked at each other. Shocked in my heart.

Although Liu Fan and Liu Hong are both after Liu Xiu, they are relatives who can't be beaten. Now Liu Hong said that Liu Fan was his imperial brother in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and when Liu Fan's merits reached a certain level in the future, it was not impossible to be crowned king.

"Why don't you keep silent? The emperor's younger brother swept the Yingchuan rebellion, and the people were convinced. I recognize Liu Fan as my younger brother, do you still have objections? Liu Hong said unhappily to the ministers.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

The civil and military officials hurriedly got up and congratulated Liu Hong.

Even if Liu Fan has no merit, they can't have any objections, and it is reasonable to recognize his brother.

It's just that Liu Fan's status is extremely noble in the future. Zongzheng Liu Yan is also a relative of the emperor, but compared with Liu Fan, it is not the same.

"Aiqing is flat, the emperor's brother recommended himself to go north to pacify the Yellow Turban traitors in Yanzhou, how do you think I should reward Liu Fan?" Liu Hong asked the civil and military officials.

"Your Majesty, with Captain Huben's exploits in Yingchuan, he can be named a broken general." He entered and exited the column and replied to Liu Hong.

The Broken General, one of the many miscellaneous generals, is also more than two thousand stones.

He Jin, this is the squeeze of Liu Fan who is fighting with open fire.

"It's not proper, there is not much difference between General Po and Captain Huben, how can such an unfair reward motivate the morale of the army?" Liu Hong shook his head and denied He Jin's words.

He Jin looked embarrassed and retreated to his seat.

Although the general is not small, he is not the main commander of the army.

"Your Majesty, after the founding of the Han Dynasty, during the Jianwu period, Emperor Guangwu named Feng Yi as the general of the expedition to the west, and Cen Peng as the general of the expedition to the south. However, at that time, the status of the two generals of the expedition to the west and the south was the same as that of the partial miscellaneous number, and the meaning of the word "expedition" was to conquer and betray and resist the invasion. His Majesty should follow the example of Emperor Guangwu, the first to conquer the north, and promote his fortune to 2,000 stones, which can open a mansion to govern affairs. Sealed in Huben Lieutenant Liu Fan. ”

Huang Wan suggested to Liu Hong.

Huang Wan's words moved Liu Hong's heart. Turning his head to look at Zhang Rang, the waiter in the middle of the house. I want to hear Zhang Rang's opinion.

Zhang Rang saluted Liu Hong and said, "Huang Yilang is reasonable. The general of Zhengbei should be the main commander of the army, and he is below the four generals in the front and back, left and right, and above the miscellaneous number. ”

Former generals, rear generals, left generals, and right generals are all in higher positions than Shangqing. The hussar general in the Western Han Dynasty had the same official position as the general, with a gold seal and a purple ribbon. The Eastern Han Dynasty was inferior.

Zhang Ranggang had accepted a bribe from Liu Fan, and he thought that Liu Fan, like Duan Cheng, would rely on the eunuch forces, and of course hoped that Liu Fan would have the power of the army.

"Under the edict, Liu Fan, the captain of the tiger school, leveled the Yingchuan thieves, the merit is in the community, and Liu Fan is specially named the general of the expedition to the north, with a rank of 2,000 stones, a silver seal and a green ribbon, opening the mansion, and holding the festival. Liu Fan was allowed to send troops north to Yanzhou. Liu Hong said majestically to the bottom.

Liu Hong did not mention Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Huang Zhong and others mentioned in Liu Fan's book. Although Liu Fan praised their merits, Liu Hong was not interested in them, believing that Liu Fan had led the troops well.

The opening of the government explains everything, Liu Fan can seal Guan Yu, Xu Huang and others to military positions below 2,000 stones.

The emperor can't bow down to everything, so he must appoint someone to act on his behalf, but he has no faith in his words, and he often relies on the festival. With the scepter, it is like the emperor coming in person. Sending troops to quell the rebellion will no longer be restrained.

During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the scepter was divided into levels.

In peacetime, there is no right to dispose of people, and in wartime you can kill people who violate military orders.

Holding festivals, you can kill people without official positions in peacetime, and you can kill officials below 2,000 stone in wartime.

Envoys can kill officials below 2,000 stone in peacetime and wartime.

Fake festival Yue, can kill 2,000 stone officials, can kill festival generals, including false festivals, holding festivals, and making festivals.

However, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the rights of the false festival, the holding of the festival, the envoy holding the festival, and the false festival are all the same, all such as the emperor in person.

That is, the right to fake the festival can be exercised. But only if there is a reason for the killing, such as the rebellion of local officials.

"Your Majesty is wise."

After Liu Hong issued the edict, the civil and military officials said in unison.

But most people were very jealous in their hearts, and His Majesty actually set up a 2,000-stone general for Liu Fan.

Now in addition to He Jin, even the old ministers such as Huangfu Song and Zhu Yun in the entire Han Dynasty have to be suppressed by Liu Fan.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Mancheng has gathered more than 100,000 people in Nanyang, and there is still a threat to Luoyang, where is the most important thing, the general of Zhengbei is brave and good at fighting, why not let General Zhengbei pacify Nanyang, and then wave his army to the north." Guanglu Doctor Chun Yujia said to Liu Hong.

Chun Yujia is more than forty years old, kind and kind, and he is also a clear stream in the court where traitors are in power.

"The emperor's younger brother wrote that he had a strict military administration and forbidden. It is the material of a general, and can cooperate with the soldiers of Nanyang County to pacify Nanyang. Liu Hong said to the ministers.

"The right Zhonglang will Zhu Wei and the left Zhonglang will put down the rebellion of the Yellow Turban in Runan and Chenguo, and the main force of the Yellow Turban in the two places will all be lost in Changshe, Runan and Chenguo are all small fish and shrimp. With the ability of Huangfu Song and Zhu Wei to command the troops, it will not take long to pacify the two counties. At that time, the two Zhonglang generals will wave their troops south and conquer the north together, and the Nanyang Yellow Turban is not to worry. Chun Yujia then suggested.
