(These two chapters may have a lot of introductory text, but these two will have a lot of appearances in the future, and there are also some things involved in it, which can be regarded as digging pits, saying that these are just to give you a foundation, I am definitely not in the water, not in the water~)

Yizhou, Mianzhu, State Pastoral Mansion.

Yizhou Mu is the Han Dynasty Liu Yan, he is the son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and the concubine Cheng Ji after Liu Yu of Lu Gong, but unlike his ancestors, Liu Yan is a resolute, insightful and ambitious person, at the beginning of the clan worship as Zhonglang, and then successively served as Luoyang Ling, Jizhou Thorn History, Nanyang Taishou, Zongzheng, Taichang and other officials, and Han Ling Emperor Zhongping five years of the famous "Abolish Shi Limu", is from his handwriting.

In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty inherited the rule of Wenjing and Huang Lao's study to govern the world, and gradually recovered the Han Dynasty, which was ambitious, because of the troubles brought about by the parallel system of local counties and states, so as to avoid the previous "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms" and the turmoil of the Huainan Wang, so he made two measures, one of which was the "Tui En Order" implemented under the father of the lord of the confession, which means that in order to demonstrate the means of the emperor and the grace of the Son of Heaven, it is hereby ordered that all the sons of the feudal kingdom in the future have the right to inherit, after the death of the feudal king, After a few generations or more than ten generations, the territory of each feudal state was divided smaller and smaller, and finally it was completely unable to fight against the central government, but after some twists and turns, this move was still well implemented, the reason was that the sons of the feudal country fought for the right to inherit the right to profit, and some kings were not happy to see this situation. As for those who have received actual benefits, there is naturally no reason to refute, perhaps the only thing that has an opinion is the one who should inherit all the feudal states, but after all, there are few people and few people, and there is basically no local princely rebellion after Emperor Wu, which proves that this move is feasible and effective; Another measure is the implementation of the assassination system.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen was derelict in his duties and ordered the prime minister to send other people to assassinate various places, but it was not always placed at that time. only as a necessary means of surveillance; and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was sealed for five years. Fang was placed as a permanent position, specifically in the local inspection and questioning, is for the "thorn", Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also divided the world into thirteen departments. One person per unit. It's called "stabbing history". It's just that at that time, he only supervised the localities and inspected the prefectures and counties on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and Emperor Wu often used low-level officials to serve as assassins, so in fact, the assassins used low-level officials to inspect high-ranking officials. With the development of the assassination system, its role in maintaining imperial power and clarifying the rule of officials gradually emerged, and it had a great role in promoting the later "Zhaoxuan Zhongxing".

During the period of the two emperors of Cheng and Wai, the system of assassination was repeatedly changed to the state pastoral system, which shows that the "abolition of history and pastoral care" actually has a historical basis, which is also an important reason why Liu Yan's mention yì can get tongguò; But in the early days of the Eastern Han Dynasty, because of the initial determination of the empire, Emperor Jianwu Liu Xiu re-promoted the assassination system, and the authority of the assassination history was further expanded, not only had a fixed station, and the performance could be done on behalf of the officials, and there was no need to go in person, which meant that it really entered the category of "local governors", and even had the right to dispatch local troops, and the restraint and deterrence of county magistrates were unprecedentedly strengthened, and there were even cases of disbanding and abandoning officials because of the fear of assassinating history.

However, at this time, the system of assassination has actually undergone essential changes, and the history of assassination itself has become equivalent to that of a natural local governor, and the supervision function has become weaker.

However, after Wang Mang's death, his radical changes were useless, and this "changing history to pastoral" was no exception, but because of this second foreshadowing, when Emperor Ling Zhongping was five years old, Liu Yan of the clan proposed to "abolish history and establish pasture".

At that time, the imperial court regime was weakened and the world was in turmoil, Liu Yan proposed to take the credible important ministers and clans of the imperial court as the state pastor, overriding the history of the assassin and the Taishou in the local area, monopolizing the power to stabilize the people and help the court stabilize the overall situation. The parallel system of counties and counties at the beginning of the Han Dynasty (at the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was also for the sake of political stability and the restoration of the parallel system of counties and states in the early Western Han Dynasty) was a three-level system of prefectures, counties and counties, with the state pastor being the supreme governor of a state, holding the military and political power of a state, and ruling the four directions in the state, and the county taishou was directly responsible to the state pastor.

It is a pity that the Han Dynasty has long lost its authority, and instead of playing a role in stabilizing the political situation, the appointment of the state pastor has not played a role in stabilizing the political situation, but has formed the formation of warlords in various places, and the local military forces that have become more and more developed after the Yellow Turban Rebellion have gradually come to the table.

In fact, although Liu Yan is a clan, if he says that mentioning this matter is not very beneficial to him, it is also impossible to go to the place, it depends on the original plan to go to Jiaozhou to avoid trouble, just because he heard that this Yizhou land has the spirit of the Son of Heaven, so he changed to Yizhou Mu, from Fengyang City Marquis, to Yizhou to rectify the rule of officials.

At that time, the history of Yizhou assassination was gathering wealth and greed from major events, but when Liu Yan had not yet arrived, he was killed by the yellow turban thief Ma Xiang, and then Ma Xiang, who was called the emperor not long ago, was defeated by Yizhou engaged in Jia Long's organization of military horses, so Liu Yan was introduced into Yizhou by Jia Long, and the governance office was set in this Mianzhu.

Later, Liu Yan, as the governor of Yizhou, vigorously attacked the local heroes inward, including the Yan family, the Wu family and the Zhang family, and the local heroes were either attached to him, or were suppressed and could not turn over.

It's just that when the princes of the world joined forces to discuss Dong under the initiative of Cao Mengde, Yuan Benchu and others, Liu Yan refused to send troops for the sake of Baozhou's self-defense, which caused Qianwei to defend Ren Qi and Jia Long and others who had previously quelled the rebellion and set up Liu Yan's meritorious service, but at this time Liu Yan had become a general trend, covering the sky in Yizhou, and the rebels were defeated not long after, and Jia Long and others were also killed by Liu Yan.

After that, Liu Yan asked the imperial court to ask his son to go to Yizhou with Liu Zhang, the commander of the car, on the grounds of illness. It will not be returned after that.

Liu Zhang is Liu Yan's youngest son, and there are three brothers on him, and the third brother Liu Mao has long entered Yizhou with Liu Yan and served as Sima of other departments; And the eldest brother and the second brother are still serving in Luoyang at the moment, Liu Yan did not let them come back together, but also to leave a way back for himself, just like when the Central Plains was in turmoil before, he all incorporated the displaced people from Nanyang and Sanfu as "Dongzhou soldiers", and it was also for himself and his heirs to have one more way to retreat.

At the same time, these two sons can also be regarded as Liu Yan's two shadows left in the court. As soon as something gets in the air. You can be the first to know and inform.

Liu Yan's eldest son, Liu Fan, was appointed as a doctor of Guanglu, and his predecessor was Sun Rui, a scholar who was executed for chaos when Dong Zhuo was in trouble; The second son, Liu Dan, was appointed to govern the imperial history. The grade is acceptable, but the authority is not large. However, it was the group of people in the court who had the most contact with Cai Yong, who cultivated history. It is said that Cai Yong praised him in private.

Although the status of the two is not very high, because of their family background, they are sleek and thoughtful, and they are exquisite. has accumulated a large number of contacts inside and outside the court, and the news channels are also extensive, which is also the reason why Liu Yan is relieved to let them be here, but at this time, Liu Yan has never begun to move the idea of bringing them back.

This prince and big man on the Makino side are frowning deeply at the moment, looking at the chess game in front of him, but the worry in his eyes is obviously not all in the difficult chess game in front of him, there are others.

Opposite Liu Yan is a delicate and handsome scribe, this person's surname is Dong Mingfu, the word Mao'an, was originally a servant of the imperial court, and then followed Liu Yan into Yizhou, because he was quite strategic, and could observe words and looks, he was deeply valued by Liu Yan.

"Liu Jingsheng's side, what's going on?" Liu Yan raised his eyelids, but his eyes were still on the chessboard in front of him, and then he picked up one of the white pieces and fell down heavily, and the crisp sound was quite beautiful.

Liu Yan called him by name, that was because he was at the same level as the other party, Dong Fu didn't dare to do this, he only lowered his eyebrows and said: "Liu Jingzhou didn't hear any movement there, but recently I heard that he was quite anxious because of his family affairs, I'm afraid he ......."

He didn't say anything, but Liu Yan knew the meaning of his words, which made him even more annoyed, Dong Fu thought about it, and finally couldn't help but speak: "The lord is worried about the safety of the two sons?" ”

Liu Yan was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "What did Mao An know about Fan Er's letter?" ”

Dong Fu shook his head, to put it bluntly, he was the first to send a letter in this matter, even if no one knew, he would not be able to peek, only knew that after reading the letter sent back to Liu Yan by the eldest son and the second son from Luoyang, Liu Yan became what he is now, obviously there must be something mentioned in it, and this is obviously not a good thing for Liu Yan.

Dong Fu is clear about one thing, don't look at Liu Yan's previous illness and only asked his young son Liu Zhang back, in fact, if he can, he doesn't need Liu Fan and the others to stay in Luoyang at all, but how can the imperial court allow it? Not to mention that it is Lu Bu who is in power now, maybe he actually doesn't even know who Liu Fan and the others are, but some of his subordinates will naturally pay attention to Liu Yan's two sons who stayed in Luoyang, saying that they are equivalent to the protons of Liu Yan's princes who stayed in the capital, but in fact, they are just some restrictions on the surface.

Because of this, Dong Fu couldn't help but guess that perhaps the things mentioned in the letter were related to the danger of the two sons, which made Liu Yan, a person who was extremely deep in the city government and was not full of joy and anger, show a state of uneasiness.

But even if he guessed and even confirmed with a certain certainty, Dong Fu couldn't say it, whether he guessed or really read the letter, he could only act like he didn't know at this time, waiting for Liu Yan to decide whether to continue or not, sure enough, after seeing him shake his head, Liu Yan sighed, hesitated for a while, and finally spoke: "Mao Anke, remember what the messenger sent by the Xiliang Ma Chao said before?" ”

Of course, Dong Fu remembered that the person sent by Ma Chao was still in charge of the reception, although Liu Yan himself didn't seem to attach much importance to this, but Dong Fu still fulfilled his duty as a landlord, and at this moment the person was arranged in the post house, eating, drinking, and living well, but it seemed that he was still very anxious, because he came with a heavy responsibility, but Liu Yan made arrangements for Dong Fu's reception, and he didn't mean to talk to him at all, and even if the task was not completed, even if the treatment here was good, it was inevitable that he would be anxious.

Of course, Dong Fu also knew the purpose of that person's coming, after all, his words were still conveyed to Liu Yandi by Dong Fu at that time, not to mention Liu Yan, even Dong Fu himself felt that Ma Chao was ridiculous, he was already a lost dog, and he still wanted Liu Yan to help him succeed, it was too good and too simple, but now when he heard Liu Yan take the initiative to mention this, Dong Fu felt a "sigh" in his heart, and had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, I heard Liu Yan frown deep and said worriedly: "At this time, Fan Er and Birthday are in the hands of Ma Chao's people, Ma Chao is not good at the first salute before, and now he is coming to the back army......

Dong Fu's heart sank, and he suddenly remembered that he had heard that the envoy of the Nama family who lived in the post house seemed to be in a much more cheerful mood yesterday, could it be that he had been just pretending to be waiting for the news to come?

Dong Fu didn't dare to think about it anymore, and after watching Liu Yan finish the news, he seemed to be more than ten years old, and he also felt angry and sympathetic in his heart, and at the same time a little ashamed, "Lord, I ......"

Liu Yan obviously knew what he wanted to say, so he directly interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and then said in a deep voice: "Mao An is not to blame for this matter, only to blame me for my indecision at the beginning and my failure to make an independent decision, which led to today's disaster." ”

Liu Yan said this, but Dong Fu couldn't just take it like this, he still said a few words with shame on his face, and then said: "The top priority is to ensure the safety of the two sons first, then Pang Yilang is not ......"

"Pang Yilang" and Pang Xi, after Liu Yan's family friendship, also had a good relationship with Liu Yan.

Liu Yan shook his head, "Xiping's family is in Luoyang, if it is in a hurry, in order to save Fan'er and give birth, I am afraid that it will bring disaster to my family, I really don't want to be my family, and too many people will be involved." ”

Dong Fu was silent and didn't speak, he was actually already thinking in his heart, what is Liu Yan's attitude in this matter, listening to his tone, it doesn't seem that he has to save Liu Fan and the others, after all, Liu Mao and Liu Zhang are both by Yizhou's side at this time, Liu Yan doesn't have to worry about it, especially Liu Zhang is still his favorite son, so maybe he doesn't value the lives of Liu Fan and the two people anymore, if there is a chance to rescue, of course he won't let it go, after all, he is still a father, but if it really can't work, it seems reasonable to give up, because he has another identity, that is, the governor of Yizhou.

Liu Yan's eyes flickered at this time, and he suddenly spoke again: "If Mao An can persuade that Liu Jingsheng, maybe we don't have to worry about whether to go or not here." ”

His words were a little joking, which made Dong Fu even more unpredictable about his intentions, but after hesitating, he still decided to say what he thought in his heart: "Actually, Fu thinks that since Ma Chao can send someone to Yizhou from afar to find us, it is very likely that he will also send someone to Liu Jingzhou's side, if he also uses any means......

"Humph!" Liu Yan's face changed, and he snorted coldly, obviously stimulated by these words.

Thinking about it, he is also a prince, but he is so tricked by what he thinks is a lost dog, a yellow-mouthed child who has not yet grown up, and it is strange that he can feel comfortable.

But after a while, Liu Yan's expression was a little restrained, and he sighed and said: "That's it, Mao'an, you will go to investigate to see if Liu Jingsheng has met any abnormal people recently, maybe this time, I really want to advance and retreat with him." ”

Liu Yan and Liu Biao both belong to Liu Yu, the king of Lu Gong, and their relationship is very close, and the territory they occupy is relatively close, and there is some movement between them, but when it comes to cooperation, if it really happens this time, it will be the real first time.

Dong Fu also knows this, and knows how much it means to his lord, although when he just said that he was going to give up the two sons, his expression did not change, but Dong Fu, who has followed Liu Yan all the year round, knows very well that it is just the usual joy and anger, in fact, his heart is also very painful, this time let himself go to the bottom of Liu Biao, I am afraid that if it is possible, he will not mind paying some price.

With a sigh, Dong Fu solemnly received the order: "Oh! (To be continued......)
