Chapter 216: Rectify the country
After a few absurd days in the summer palace, Liu Yuan finally regained his mind and dealt with state affairs while recovering his "energy". In Jinyang, although he has been paying attention to Meiji's affairs, he has led the army to hang outside, and his heart is always not very stable.
Monan and Hetao are the places where Liu Yuan is rooted, and there must be no problems in the rear of the struggle for hegemony in the world. The counties of Hetao, after Liu Yuan's painstaking development over the years, have moved many times in the population under their jurisdiction, and there are millions of people, accounting for almost one-third of the total population of the Xia Kingdom, which is the most important thing.
A few days after the court, accepting the courtiers' affairs, for a while, Liu Yuan once again fell into complicated and redundant state affairs.
"King! Da Situ and Shang Shuling jointly ask to meet! Zhang asked him to study the Hall of Virtue and said to Liu Yuan.
He put down the pen in his hand, put away a scroll of recitals, looked up and looked out, rubbed his swollen temples, and said softly: "Lead them into the temple!" ”
"No!"
"The minister is the king!" The two entered the temple and bowed.
"Flat, take a seat!" Liu Yuan gestured to the two of them and asked, "What is the matter with the two of you?" ”
Lan Zhi and Wang Rou glanced at each other, and Wang Rou raised his hand and said: "King, in the territory of my Xia Kingdom, Han and Hu live together, in recent years, with the migration of Hu Min to the south and the growth of Han Min, the contradiction between Hu Min and Han Min has become more and more serious. It is common for the Hu people to oppress the Han people, and the civil arms fight constantly, and there are constant conflicts between the grassland tribes and the Sinicized counties, especially in the territory of the Hetao. Also, the governors of local counties and towns are mostly supplemented by Han people, and there are also many contradictions between the two sides, many of which have caused trouble in the United States, and in the long run, it is not conducive to the rule of the king! ”
Liu Yuan's expression was slightly gloomy when he heard this, Hu Min moved south, lived with the Han people, and still used the Han scholars in the place, and it was inevitable to encounter these problems. Looking at Lan Zhi and Wang Rou, Liu Yuan said, "What do you think!" ”
"Back to the king, the minister and Shang Shuling have discussed!" Lan Zhi straightened up and replied: "Hu Min, good at herding; Hermes-Epitek is good at farming. Living together, they fight for arable land and pastures. The ministers discussed the implementation of two sets of systems in the Xia State, screening races, dividing the Hu and Han, governing the Hu with the Hu people, and governing the Han with the Han people! ”
"One country, two systems?" Liu Yuan frowned, thought about it and patted the big case: "Gu repeatedly emphasized that in today's Xia Kingdom, there are only Xia people, and Hu and Han are treated equally, so wouldn't it be to separate Hu and Han again." Under the rule of Guzhi, the Hu people grazed and the Han people farmed, and the two sides traded and traded with each other, complementing each other. There are contradictions, run-ins are, there are conflicts, weapons fighting and oppression, what do local officials do to eat, and is the law of my Xia Kingdom used for decoration! ”
"Lonely's ambition is to attack the Han Dynasty in the south, if he really has the day to settle the Central Plains, Hu Min will move south, at that time, the conflict will intensify, do you want me to have two systems everywhere in Daxia, how many redundant officials and redundant personnel!"
Liu Yuan's words were obviously intoxicated by his concept of "the unity of all summers".
"In short, Hu and Han are one, and they cannot be changed, as for the run-in of contradictions up and down, you have to bother!" Liu Yuan is quite "bent on going his own way".
In fact, if the division of Hu and Han is really implemented, it is not impossible, and in a short period of time, there will not be many contradictions and conflicts in Xia. But after a long time, Liu Yuan may have to worry more about Zhuhu's affairs.
"No!" Lan Zhi and Wang Rou saw Liu Yuan's tough statement and reluctantly agreed.
"King, there's one more thing!" Wang Rou was a little careful in her speech.
"Speak!"
"Most of the governors of counties and towns in China have been in office for many years. When the ministers heard the report, many chiefs and tribal lords were in positions for a long time, and gradually had a tendency to be under privatization rule. In many places, the tribute to Meiji is gradually lacking, and the king is invited to save it. In the long run......"
With a "snap", before Wang Rou finished speaking, she saw that Liu Yuan had already dropped the pen she was holding, and the pen and ink splashed a long strip on the case, staining a few pages of paper.
got up and paced back and forth in the hall a few times, the footsteps were extremely clear in the empty hall, Lan Zhi and Wang Rou both knew that Liu Yuan must be angry at this time, and they both lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
After a while, Liu Yuan stood at the door of the hall with his hands behind his back, looking at the blue sky outside the hall, the scenery was infinite, and suddenly smiled: "It seems that it is time for Xia Guo to rectify again!" ”
The voice was very cold, and Lan Zhi's body trembled, as if he felt Liu Yuan's killing intent. I couldn't help but think silently in my heart, the people of the Lan clan in the place, don't do something stupid to cross the line, the butcher's knife that the king hasn't touched for a long time is afraid that it will be sacrificed again.
"What else? Let's do it together! Liu Yuan sat down in the case, as if he had calmed the anger in his chest.
"There is another little thing, Wuyuan is too protective of Wang Zhi and has governed Wuyuan for many years. In recent years, taking advantage of the five original iron ores, there are many greedy ink, arrogant and unscrupulous. Every time he traveled, there were as few as 100 people in his entourage, and there were many people who bullied the people and subordinates, and there were many complaints in the county. Especially recently, it was reported that he secretly placed armor equipment in the house. Speaking of this, Wang Rou stopped and looked at Liu Yuan.
"Haha!" Liu Yuan sneered: "Wang Zhi, if it wasn't for the fact that there was no one in the country, how could he be used!" ”
"That's it! To rectify the country, start with him Wang Zhi! Liu Yuan rubbed his palms together with his hands and shouted: "Longqiu! ”
"The minister is here!" The general of the guard, Long Wei, heard the sound and entered the palace.
"You send a hundred horsemen to Wuyuan, and capture Wuyuan Taishou Wang Zhi alone, if there is resistance up and down, kill!" Liu Yuan coldly ordered.
"No!"
Next, Liu Yuan once again carried out a large-scale rectification under the rule of the Xia State, and wantonly transferred the lords and governors of various towns. Over the years, those who have been greedy for ink and transgressed the rules, and those who have committed serious cases will be severely punished, and even worse, they will be imprisoned and awaiting death.
As soon as the king ordered, many people who were deeply affected by the majesty of King Xia honestly waited for the transfer. But more people are hesitant, rooted in the local area for many years, and have a certain amount of power, and do a lot of things to resist. For such people, of course, Liu Yuan will not be soft, and directly dispatched the left and right armies in the country, cooperated with the local garrisons, and attacked and killed mercilessly.
King Xia used a thunderous wrist, and the "chaos" that lasted for more than a month stopped, and Liu Yuan's control over Xia was still firm. After this external arrangement, the weather was clear up and down the Xia country.
As for Mozhong and Modong further north, when Liu Yuan's order arrived, the two governors of Wuyue and Helan Dangfu immediately cooperated with Meiji's actions to complete Liu Yuan's rectification.
It didn't take long for Liu Yuan's biggest order to be issued, and the governor of Mozhong, Wuyue, and the governor of Modong, Helan Dangfu, were transferred to Meiji. In addition, the southern general Lan Li was appointed as the governor of Modong, and the general of the northern army, Gu Huaijing, was appointed as the governor of Mozhong.
Compared with those counties in China, the two governors' mansions are powerful places, and the governor's mansions each have 10,000 horsemen to guard the Monan grassland for Liu Yuan.
It has been three years since the capital governor's mansion was placed, and it is impossible for Liu Yuan to let the governor of the capital stay in this position for a long time. Wuyue and Helan Dangfu asked to stay in office, which further aroused Liu Yuan's "suspicion", and he summoned him back to the capital with two edicts.
On the one hand, he sent people to announce the generals and colonels under the governor's mansion, and at the same time mobilized the garrison to move north, guarding the northern army and more than 10,000 cavalry of the left and right armies, and moved to Yunzhong, and at the same time, Wan Qijin of Yanmen also led the army to the north.
At this time, Wuyue and Helan Dangfu felt the pressure, understood Liu Yuan's determination, and did not dare to postpone it again, handed over everything, and brought people back to Meiji. As soon as the two moved, Liu Yuan, who was in Meiji, also breathed a sigh of relief, don't look at his toughness, his heart was also nervous.
If the two of them are unwilling to let go of power and rebel, he is naturally not afraid, and it is not a problem to exterminate them, but it is time-consuming and laborious, which will greatly delay his pace of southward expansion. Fortunately, under several pressures, the two were edicted to return. With this precedent, it will not be so tense to change the two governors in the future.
At the same time, Liu Yuan once again issued an edict emphasizing that the governors of Mozhong and Modong and the governors of the capital should not be in office for more than three years.
In the midst of the disturbances, Liu Yuan's rectification in the Xia Kingdom lasted for more than two months before it could be quelled. When all the dust settles and everyone returns, Liu Yuan, who has been nervous for a long time, finally put his mind at ease and can set his sights on the south, and the matter of entering the Han Dynasty in the south has just begun.
