Chapter 55: The Marquis
Everyone can see that Yizhou Mu Liu Yan has no good intentions towards Hanzhong Taishou Chen Lin, and on the first day of his appointment, he made Chen Lin very ugly in front of many Shu sergeant clans, and it is surprising that Hanzhong Taishou Chen Lin was silent and silently returned to Hanzhong, Chen Lin's attitude made many Shuzhong scholars feel good. Jia Xu was right, the matter of Fucheng and Zitong was done according to Chen Lin's current ability, and the rest could only be said later, so 2,500 fell into the camp and returned to Hanzhong. Chen Lin wondered why Liu Yan had such an attitude towards him before he began to show any dissatisfaction with Liu Yan. Jia Xu smiled and said: "Lord, there are still spies like Wuying in my little Han, not to mention the dignified Yizhou Mu, yesterday's court was too common, how can I not know some things in Hanzhong." I'm afraid that what I'm doing in Fucheng will be noticed by the state pastor, otherwise I wouldn't have let me wait to return to Hanzhong so quickly. ”
In this way, Chen Lin obediently returned to Hanzhong, although he did not please Liu Yan, but Chen Lin doubled his record in Fucheng and reported to the imperial court, simply put, to invite credit. Since Chen Lin decided to pay attention to Luoyang from the new one, the spies have sent back a lot of information from Luoyang, and now the rebellion in Xiliang is not so intense, the Han army is slowly fortified in Sanfu led by Dong Zhuo, and the contradictions within Xiliang are also intensifying, and now the civil strife in Xiliang is not stopping, so Sanfu is a lot calmer. But Luoyang is much more turbulent, Emperor Ling's health is deteriorating, the position of the crown prince has not been decided, and the forces of all parties in the DPRK and China are frequently moving, but they are all based on the struggle between Dong Zhuoyuan's relatives Empress Dowager Dong and the He family, and the respective forces of Liu Wei and Liu Xie are not fighting. However, in general, the He Jin faction had the upper hand, but Emperor Ling seemed to like Liu Xie a little more, so in order to contend with the He family, Emperor Ling ordered the formation of the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan and the formation of a new army.
The eight lieutenants are: Captain Jian Shuo, Eunuch Jian Shuo, Captain Yuan Shao, Captain Yuan Shao, Captain Bao Hong, Captain Cao*, Captain Zhao Rong, Captain Feng Fang, Captain Xia, and Captain Chun Yuqiong. Among them, even He Jin has to listen to Jian Shuo's command. Captain Jian Shuo became the supreme commander of the Han army in one fell swoop.
Luoyang, He Mansion, that is, the General's Mansion, He Jin is furious, Xu Yu Xu Ziyuan is now the staff of the General's Mansion, seeing this, he said: "General, this matter may as well, General, just imagine, how many of the eight captains in the West Garden are not friends with the General?" As long as the general is a little lured and wooed, the Xiyuan Army is in the hands of the eunuchs on the surface, but in fact it is a sharp blade in the hands of the general. When He Jin heard Xu You say this, he immediately felt very reasonable, his mood changed in a blink of an eye, and he laughed and said: "Ziyuan is worthy of being Ziyuan, hahaha." After thinking for a while, He Jin said: "Although the prince is undecided now, there is no mistake, Zhong Ying has never been treated by the Empress Dowager Dong, if you get acquainted with this person, you can provide foreign aid in the future." ”
Chen Lin next to him heard that He Jin wanted to marry the foreign minister, and hurriedly shouted: "General, no, Dong Zhongying is a foreign minister, and the general is a minister. When He Jin heard this, he immediately disliked: "Kong Zhang is worried that this general has a heart of disobedience?" Hmph, step aside. He Jin did not hesitate to drink Chen Lin, and Chen Lin wanted to explain, but was forcibly pulled out.
He Jin continued: "Yizhou Mu Liu Junlang invited himself to be the state pastor, if he asked for the marquis tomorrow, these Han clan relatives will definitely be grateful to this general, and they will not embarrass this general in the future." After hearing this, Xu You raised his plan and said: "General, although you want to get the support of these state pastors, but the state pastor is not comparable to the history of assassination, and the general must not make the state pastor too strong, I am afraid that he will not listen to the call in the future." If we erect an obstacle to it in all states, it is better to restrain the development of state pastors. ”
He Jin had no plan, but when he heard what Xu You said, he seemed to be very reasonable to himself, and laughed: "Okay, good, this plan is very good, hehe, Ziyuan has won my heart." The next day, the general He Jin suddenly expressed the exploits of Sun Jian, Gongsun Zan and others at the court meeting, and took out some of the military exploits of the Yellow Turban that year and counted them anew, please make these people marquis and officials.
Half a month later, in Hanzhong, Chen Lin received a message from Wuying and said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, this, why did the imperial court suddenly give a certain feudal marquis, and also sealed the fief in Shuzhong, this must be unusual. Jia Xu also said: "Yes, my lord, now that Yizhou Mu has sealed Yangchenghou, it is understandable, but the lord is in Mianzhu, and the lord is the Taishou of Hanzhong County." Thinking that someone wanted to provoke the lord and Yizhou Mu to disagree, Wuying also said that not only Yizhou, but also Youzhou, Jingzhou and other places also appeared in the same situation, and the Lord Lanting Hou was the general's expression, that is to say, ......" Chen Lin hurriedly grabbed the words: "That is to say, the general does not want these state pastors to be dominant." Jia Xu nodded.
Jia Xu: "Like the lord, after the marquis, you must be grateful to the general, but I am afraid that this is the intention of the general." Now that this holy decree has been issued, the lord also invisibly owes the general a favor, if the lord does not accept this marquis to the court, he will offend the general. He suggested that the lord accept the title of prince of the imperial court and send a heavy gift to the general to express his gratitude. Chen Lin: "It's just like this, isn't it to be classified as a general, fighting between the DPRK and China, and I don't want to participate." ”
Jia Xu: "How can the lord be alone, now he has become a person who is not compatible with the state pastor, I am a small man, if there is no help, I will definitely not be able to eat well, my lord." The lord and I have been working together for several years to govern Hanzhong County like this, so if we have to give it to others, wouldn't it make everyone feel cold. Chen Lin drank: "Enough, get ready, Lan Ting Hou will Lan Ting Hou, this is also the glory of my Chen family." ”
As early as when Chen Li first came to Hanzhong, he built an ancestral hall of the Chen family in Hanzhong to worship his ancestors. The Chen family is busy, just to worship the ancestors and tell the ancestors, more than 1,000 people are all elated, most of them are from Anyang, Runan County to follow the Chen family's family slaves, in addition to now the Chen family has also added a few small babies, Chen Ze gave birth to a daughter, Chen to a son, Chen Lin's son has also been born, named Chen Ding. Since Xiao Chen Ding was born, the three-year-old Chen Bin no longer pesters adults, and surrounds Xiao Chen Ding every day to watch, play, and be very happy.
Compared with the joy of the Chen family in Hanzhong, the Yizhou Mu Liu Yan Mansion is calmer, it is the Liu family who is deliberating, Liu Yan's eldest son Liu Fan spoke at this time: "Father, the court is suspicious?" Liu Yan said regretfully: "At this time, where is there any court in the court, it is all eunuchs and relatives who are in the hegemony, and then it is the scholar clan, where is there still the status of my Liu clan." I also blame the father for being too impulsive, Hanzhong is too guarded, it is really wrong to be a father, let everyone know that the father does not like this person, no, I am afraid that someone in Luoyang will see the disagreement between the father and the Chen family, so he deliberately installed the fief of the Chen boy in Mianzhu. It's obvious to sow discord, but it's okay, my father is just using Hanzhong to do things. ”
Liu Fan didn't understand, and asked Liu Yan: "What can Hanzhong be used for?" Liu Yan laughed: "If Luoyang wants to come to Yizhou, he must pass through Hanzhong, Hanzhong is too self-respecting to support the army, and my Yizhou is isolated from the world." Liu Yan laughed wickedly after speaking. Liu Fan read Liu Yan's words repeatedly, and suddenly said in surprise: "Father, do you want to blame Hanzhong?" "I have to say that Liu Yan's boldness and scheming actually wanted to cut off contact with Luoyang on the grounds that Chen Lin in Hanzhong supported the army and was self-respecting, so that he Liu Yan would not become an emperor, too bold.
When Liu Yan heard his son say this, he smiled and did not continue the topic, but instead talked about the matter of the Shu sergeant clan: "Now it is basically settled in Yizhou, but the staggered forces in Shu are far beyond my father's previous expectations, I can't imagine that there are so many Shu sergeant clans and so reject outsiders." Liu Fan also showed a look of disgust: "Hmph, don't * you have to know how to kill knives, these scholars really don't know what to do." Liu Yan: "Don't worry, there is time, tomorrow as a father, I will appoint Jia Qiande as the Taishou, hmph, this can be regarded as a concession, if the Shu sergeant clan is not satisfied, Hugh blames so." Then the crazy laughter of the Liu father and son came from inside the house.
At this time, Zitong, Du Fu, Du Wei and Ren An on the other side of Shuzhong were in the room. Du Wei: "Teacher, Bo Zhi Fenghou is actually sealed in Mianzhu, I'm afraid that this is unusual." Ren An: "As soon as Liu Zhoumu arrived, something like that happened with Bozhi, and now anyone knows that Bozhi and the state pastor are not in agreement, I am afraid that the people in the court are using it to provoke the fight between Bozhi and the state pastor, alas, officialdom, when has it been calm." After Ren An finished speaking, he went straight out and went back to his house, Du Wei smiled, and thought in his heart, before Bo Zhi also said how Liu Zhoumu was, a certain still didn't believe it, but now he has seen it with his own eyes, Yizhou is not as good as other places Liu Zhoumu. People like Du Wei, who are not too obsessed with power, have seen Liu Yan's **, not to mention other Shu sergeant clans, I believe that in the future, Liu Yan will be busy.
It is said that after Chen Lin became a marquis, the income of the fief was Chen Lin's private income, but this place of Lan is far away in Mianzhu, which is an ordinary five-mile place in Mianzhu, and there are no villages, which is really humorous. So Chen Lin Fenghou is just a nominal pavilion marquis, but it is the same as not having a fief, but whether it is Chen Lin or Liu Yan, no one cares about this, it is precisely this name that may cause Chen Lin a lot of things, and it may also make many people do a lot of things with this. But no matter what it is, the status of Chen Lin, who is now a marquis, is completely different from that of Chen Lin, who did not have a marquis before, reputation is the most effective tool to attract talents and celebrities, and at the same time, the promotion of Chen Lin's status is also a kind of hope for everyone under his command, after all, no one wants to follow a lord who has no future.
Chen Lin is a marquis, and there are many benefits.
