The ancients took the governor of Kyushu as the state pastor, so the state pastor had great power, almost overseeing all the military, cultural, economic and other affairs of a continent, to a certain extent, similar to the major princes under Zhou Tianzi during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, nominally listening to the orders of the central government, but in fact they were independent, and even for some remote areas of the state pastor, it was almost equivalent to an independent kingdom.

Therefore, in the Western Han Dynasty, the state pastoral system was abolished, and the position of the assassin was established instead, and the assassin history was to supervise a state and hundreds of officials, and there was no such huge and flexible right as the state pastor.

After the Western Han Dynasty, the position of state pastor was abandoned, and occasionally several state pastors were sealed, but they were no longer as large-scale as in the previous dynasty.

As for the current period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, there is not even a state pastor, and there is no intention of sealing the state pastor.

After all, the division of the state pastor has a huge impact, and for the four major forces in the court, one state pastor is enough for them to have a headache, and they have been arguing for several years.

Take the Yizhou pastor that Liu Xin wants for example, if Liu Xin becomes the Yizhou pastor, then the appointment of officials in Yizhou, the rights of commodity trade and other rights will be in Liu Xin's hands, as long as Liu Xin is tough enough, then the chess pieces arranged by the four major forces in Yizhou can only become idle and abandoned.

Because the four major forces can no longer use these chess pieces blatantly, otherwise Liu Xin will be able to easily eat these chess pieces, and they really have no way to take Liu Xin, after all, there are some things they don't dare to put on the table, unless they want to be attacked by the remaining forces.

Therefore, the position of the state pastor is very important, even if it is a sparsely populated Jiaozhou state pastor known as a barren land, it can make the four major forces fight for blood, not to mention Yizhou, which is the country of abundance.

Let's talk about Yizhou.

Yizhou is located in a corner of the country, with complex terrain, but it has a large population and a developed economy.

To put it simply, Yizhou has the potential to become a country China, as long as it holds a few key roads into Yizhou, and guards it according to natural hazards, Yizhou can close itself off the country and implement regional autonomy in peace and stability.

Therefore, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao felt that Liu Xin wanted to be named Yizhou Mu, which was simply a fool's dream.

Let's not talk about whether Emperor Han Ling will agree or not, just the four major forces that do not agree with each other will unite as one and jointly veto this proposal.

In front of the four major forces united, a small prince is really nothing.

Yuan Shao sighed and continued to persuade: "Big brother, you should also know that since His Majesty inherited the prince, he has not been crowned a state pastor, and the major forces in the court have installed their own subordinate protégés in various regions, take the Yuan family where I am located, there are hundreds of protégés and former officials in Yizhou, they are all the rights and interests of the Yuan family in Yizhou, if the eldest brother becomes the Yizhou pastor, then these people will either defect to the Yuan family and become the eldest brother's subordinates; Either they confront the eldest brother for the benefit of the Yuan family; No matter what, the final result is the same, that is, the eldest brother will have a conflict with the Yuan family. ”

"So the same reasoning can be proven, other wealthy families, as well as those eunuchs, also have their own chess pieces in Yizhou, if the eldest brother wants to become a real Yizhou pastor, then you must fight and collect, and then the eldest brother will have a conflict with all the four major forces, which is not a good decision."

Cao Cao also nodded, and said: "Big brother, what the second brother said is very right, the position of state pastor is very important, and now no force dares to mention this matter, they are afraid of being attacked by the group, big brother, you better not be in this troubled water, it is not bad to be a Yizhou assassin." ”

In the dark, although Liu Xin couldn't see the appearance of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao clearly, Liu Xin knew that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao really cared about themselves.

Liu Xin said with some emotion: "I understand what you say, but I am bound to win this Yizhou Mu, and I am about seventy percent sure of winning Yizhou Mu." ”

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he asked with some curiosity: "Seventy percent?" Big brother, where do you get so much confidence? ”

Liu Xin smiled and said his thoughts: "It's actually very simple, if rebellions and uprisings continue to occur in various places today, and the suppression time of each rebellion is as short as a few months or as long as several years, a large number of people are displaced, no production, and local taxes are not one out of ten, and it will take at least five to ten years to restore the local population economy, which will have a great impact on the future of the Han Dynasty." ”

And what is the root cause of all this? That's because the governor of a state is a thorn, not a state pastor. ”

"Although the history of the assassin is the governor of a state, but the history of the assassin really does not have many rights, can not quickly mobilize troops and horses to quell the rebellion, nor can it ask the local appropriation to allocate grain to restore production, stabilize the people's hearts, these need to be reported to the imperial court, and then the imperial court gives instructions to take action, this comes and goes, the rebellion has been going on for a month or two, if there is a rebellion in remote areas such as Jiaozhou and Liangzhou, it will take two or three months just to report to the imperial court."

"Although there are also some assassins who are very courageous and dare to cut first and then play, but without the order of the imperial court, there are not many troops that can be used in the hands of these assassins, and if the local county orders are not in good relationship with the assassins, they also have the right to refuse to send troops to assist the assassins, which leads to the low success rate of the assassins' suppression of the rebellion, and the assassins will also be responsible for this, so now there are fewer and fewer assassins who dare to cut first and then play."

"To sum up, the system of assassination is no longer suitable for the current environment, and the state pastoral system can solve this rebellion problem very well, because the state pastor holds the military power, can all the troops in a state, in the event of a rebellion, the state pastor can quickly make a decision, mobilize troops to suppress, and minimize the losses caused by the rebellion."

"And as long as Your Majesty agrees to my suggestion, then in addition to Yizhou Mu, there may also be vacancies for Jiaozhou Mu, Youzhou Mu and other state pastors, and then the four major forces will not stick to me as Yizhou Mu, not to mention that I am now a member of the eunuch forces, and the Ten Standing Servants will support me as Yizhou Mu."

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao listened to Liu Xin's explanation and couldn't stop nodding, but when it came to the last sentence, when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao knew that Liu Xin was a member of the eunuch forces, they couldn't help but exclaim.

Yuan Shao couldn't help but speak: "Big brother, how did you join the eunuch forces?" Don't you know how bad the reputation of the eunuch forces is in the Han Dynasty? ”

Cao Cao also nodded and agreed: "Yes, even if my grandfather was the tenth permanent servant back then, I have to say that the current eunuch power is simply a disaster for the government and corrupts the dynasty, it is simply a tumor of the Han Dynasty, how can you join the eunuch power, big brother?" ”

Liu Xin looked at the two brothers who were emotional, and said with a smile: "Second brother, third brother, don't be impatient, of course I know what you said, I also look down on the eunuch forces, but without the assistance of the eunuch forces, I would not have been recruited by His Majesty to Luoyang, let alone have the opportunity to meet Your Majesty, and my identity will not have a chance to be implemented again, plus the eunuch forces coerce and lure me, although I am not afraid of this, but for the sake of the overall situation, I can only make a false deal with the eunuch forces, and pretend to invest in the eunuch forces, to get their support. ”

"But don't worry, it's impossible for me to help the abuse, and I said that I joined the eunuch forces, but in fact, I just used each other with the eunuch forces, and I don't need to stand on the stage to cheer for the eunuch forces, so that I won't provoke other forces, and after this period of time, I will have the capital to break with the eunuch forces."

Yuan Shao also calmed down at this time, and said: "Big brother, you are doing the right thing, now Your Majesty's favorite thing is the eunuch power, if the eldest brother wants to see His Majesty, then he must be matched by the eunuch forces, with the help of the eunuch forces, presumably the eldest brother will soon be able to implement his identity, and in the competition for Yizhou Mu, it can be regarded as an absolute advantage." ”

However, Cao Cao still asked with some concern: "Big brother, what price do you have to pay to join the eunuch forces?" ”

Liu Xin smiled again and said: "It's very simple, Zhang Rang wants me to join the forces of relatives and obtain information for the eunuch forces, and it is best to find a way to find evidence that the forces of relatives are traitors, so that the forces of eunuchs can have the handle to threaten the forces of relatives, so that the forces of relatives can be honest and no longer provoke the forces of eunuchs." ”

Cao Cao frowned, and said with some tears and laughter: "Big brother, our two brothers are really destined, Zhang Rang also came to me a few months ago, and he also said this when he wooed me, he wanted me to go to work under the general He Jin, and by the way, let me be a dark chess, but I refused." ”

And Yuan Shao, who was on the side, also said helplessly: "It's really not a family, don't enter a family; When I returned to Luoyang the year before last, Zhang Rang sent someone to find me once, he said that the Yuan family treated me so badly, and hoped that I could serve him, and when my mourning period expired, he arranged for me to have an official position above Yuan Shu, and finally I was rejected, after all, I am also a member of the Yuan family, I am not like that Yuan Shu, I will give up my principles for my own interests, and give up my family interests. ”

In the dark, Liu Xin and the three looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, the three of them laughed in unison.

Liu Xin shook his head with a smile, and said helplessly: "It seems that this let is also an unpredictable prophet, and he actually knows that the three of us will become brothers, so he wants to recruit one of us in advance, which is equivalent to recruiting the three of us brothers, this let is really calculating." ”

Cao Cao also smiled and said: "Big brother, you are right, but now Zhang let him make his dream come true, after all, the eldest brother has agreed to join the eunuch forces, maybe today Zhang Rang already knows that the three of us are brothers, he should be very happy now, and finally bring the second brother and me into his command." ”

Yuan Shao sighed, pretending to be helpless and joking: "I think that I Yuan was famous in the first life, but in the end, because of my eldest brother, I lost my footing in the eunuch power, this is really impermanent." ”

The three of them laughed and began to ridicule Zhang Rang.

In the palace at this time, after Zhang Rang learned the news of Liu Xin's three marriages in Taoyuan from his subordinates, Zhang Rang was very happy, and couldn't help touching the jade wrench in his hand, and said with a smile: "This Liu Xin is really my lucky star, just arrived in Luoyang, and he helped me add two generals, congratulations, congratulations." ”
