Chapter 960: Liu He's incompetent subordinates are centrifuged
The news of Liu Yu's death still came out quickly, but at this time, Liu He had already activated the army's emergency mechanism, and the important position of Jixian County, especially the palace, had been heavily guarded, if someone wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble at this time, it would definitely outweigh the losses.
A person who can plan for his subordinates to skillfully kill the situation, how can he not understand this, now is not a coup d'Γ©tat at all, and he will not want to seize power once and complete the battle, this is a well-planned political event, and there must be a strict backhand.
Therefore, there is actually no big problem with Liu He's response speed, at most, some strangers who can't see the situation clearly do some inexplicable things.
However, Liu He himself didn't see it that way, he felt that he had responded in a timely and correct manner, and then squatted nervously in the barracks for two days, and finally made sure that Jixian County was calm and there was no turmoil, so he returned home and began to prepare for his father's funeral.
Three days after Liu Yu's death, Liu He officially announced Liu Yu's death, and Xiao Tianzi immediately ordered Liu He to attack the lord and continue to serve as the pastor of Youzhou, all matters related to Liu Yu were handled by Liu He.
Not to mention that Liu He was preparing for a big funeral, but Zhang Miao and others also began to be unprecedentedly active.
As soon as Liu Yu died, no matter how much Liu He appeased him, Liu Yu's subordinates would inevitably have some ideas in their hearts, which depended on Liu He's personal ability to resolve the contradictions and win people's hearts. But Liu He did not pay enough attention to this. He wishfully believed that these subordinates promoted by his father would definitely support him, and as long as he firmly grasped the military power, these people would not be able to turn up any tricks.
However, the human heart is extremely complex.
The Xian Yu Fu and Xian Yuyin brothers are very complicated now, and the Xian Yu brothers, who are responsible for guarding Jixian County, have always been Liu Yu's confidants, and their loyalty to Liu Yu is beyond doubt, so when Liu He came to the barracks to report his death. The Xian Yu brothers did not hesitate to choose to firmly support Liu He.
But today, Zhang Chao sent an edict for the Son of Heaven made the Xian Yu brothers hesitate, because this is not someone else, but the edict of the Son of Heaven.
What this edict means, Brother Xian understands very well. Is the Son of Heaven asking whether they will continue to be loyal to Liu He, or will they instead be loyal to the Son of Heaven?
The timing chosen by the Son of Heaven is very good. Or perhaps, this is not the choice of the Son of Heaven, but someone behind the Son of Heaven is choosing, it is true that Brother Xian Yu is loyal to Liu Yu, but Liu Yu is also loyal to the Son of Heaven, and he is also the elder of the Son of Heaven, and he is a family with the Son of Heaven, so it seems that Brother Xian Yu is loyal to the Son of Heaven.
Merely. This matter always seemed to be so proper, especially at this time, so the Xian Yu brothers told Liu He about the edict.
Liu He, who was busy receiving all parties who came to mourn the messengers, received a lot of gifts, and he was in a good mood when he saw that the brothers of Xian Yu mysteriously pulled themselves to the side hall and talked about the matter of the Son of Heaven. Liu He was immediately furious.
"How can this be true? The Son of Heaven is rude, and he actually plays these tricks at this time! The two generals will not be bought by these small favors1
Brother Xian Yu was embarrassed, this is called Xiao En Xiaohui? This is the official position of a military attache of the second grade! A few steps above their current level! As a nobleman who has completely declined, it is a great thing to be able to achieve the second grade. This is also an affirmation of their identity and ability, as well as the loyalty they have always done for the Han, how did they become a small favor in Liu He's mouth!
"Don't worry, my two brothers are vulgar, but they also know the word loyalty. However, after all, this is the edict of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven and the Son of Heaven are also a family.
Liu He looked at Brother Xian Yu strangely, frowned and said: "The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, I am me, don't be confused, the Son of Heaven is just a child, a child who lives in that palace and can't come out, hehe, the two of you don't need to pay attention to this bullshit edict at all, and this worthless position, as long as the two of you are loyal to me, you can't get what you want1."
The Xian Yu brothers glanced at each other, only to respond, and then excused themselves and left, Liu He's face was a little gloomy, changed his clothes and hurriedly went to the palace to meet the Son of Heaven, in fact, he wanted to ask what the Son of Heaven meant.
Regarding Liu He's questioning, the Son of Heaven replied that it was to help Liu He appease the army, and this matter was done in a bit of a hurry, and Liu He should be asked to go to the table first to ask for the title for the generals. Seeing that the Son of Heaven was knowledgeable, Liu He didn't think it was angry, and left happily to prepare for the table.
The next day, the conversation between Liu He and the Son of Heaven in the palace was circulated, if this conversation was said in private, then for Liu He, the Son of Heaven bowed his head to himself, but once it came out, things were complicated.
First of all, Liu He's disrespect to the Son of Heaven and the arrogance of his behavior were exaggerated by some people's hearts, and he was faintly guided towards disloyalty and injustice, and even usurpation and rebellion.
Secondly, is it just that the Son of Heaven preemptively issued an edict to Brother Xianyu before Liu He went to the table? Or maybe what does the Son of Heaven think? Especially the special status of the Xianyu brothers, and the appointment of the two of them is to separate these two people who were originally subordinate to Youzhou Mu from Liu He's subordinates and directly subordinate to the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
Finally, there is another statement, that is, Liu He, a fool, will not take the initiative to ask his subordinates for a seal, and it will be reminded by the Son of Heaven, does this mean that Liu He's political wisdom is not as good as a child of a few years old?
When these rumors were spreading in secret, Liu He's table surprised everyone again, Liu He actually only invited his subordinates to enter the knighthood, but did not ask for official positions, this excessive petty family spirit is really difficult to understand.
Perhaps, in Liu He's mind, the imperial court in Jixian County is simply an ornament, so it is simply a joke to go to this court with no real power to get an official position. In addition, he only fought for the title of his subordinates, because the title is better than the official position, and the cost is less, you must know that the promotion of the official position costs a lot more money and food, and the current imperial court is only supported by half of Youzhou, of course, Fang Zhiwen also kindly sponsored some, but, after all, the existence of the imperial court itself is an unexpected expense, so Liu He wants to save it.
This statement was circulated again without accident, Liu He handed it over in the morning, and it was already known to everyone in the evening, and those Liu Yu's old departments couldn't help but feel a little bad in their hearts, from the point of view, they may be able to understand Liu He's thoughts, but, from their own selfishness, who doesn't want to be promoted and make a fortune.
It is clear in front of him that the Son of Heaven wants to promote everyone and make a fortune, but Liu He blocked it, as the saying goes, blocking people's wealth is like killing parents, so everyone will inevitably be a little dissatisfied, at this time, Liu He should come forward to appease in time, however, Liu He has no kung fu now, because Wang Yun brought Diao Chan to mourn.
So throughout the afternoon, Liu He accompanied Diao Chan, and stubbornly pestered Diao Chan to stay for dinner, and delayed it until very late before letting people go.
Liu He sent the beauty away, immersed in fantasy, some thoughts did not belong, he had long forgotten that he was still in the whirlpool, forgetting that someone was active at this time, taking advantage of the opportunity that Liu He himself created for others, the small crack between Liu He and Liu Yu's old genus was getting bigger and bigger.
The next day, Liu He heard some bad news, so he hurriedly summoned the Xian Yu brothers, Cheng Xu, Wei You and others to come to the mansion for a meeting.
"I invite you here today because I have heard some bad rumors, and I am busy with my father's funeral, and you seem to be busy with the guests of the General Assembly.1
"Childe, what do you mean by that? Everyone is not a hermit idler, how can they refuse to entertain above the officialdom? Childe doesn't need to worry about this. Wei Yu replied in a solemn voice.
Liu He snorted coldly, glanced at everyone a little unhappily, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Now is an eventful time, you should do it yourself, although you don't say that you want to close the door to thank guests, but it is still necessary to take the initiative to avoid suspicion, and besides, don't I know what those people think?" Or do you not know? β
Everyone in the hall was silent, Liu He pulled the corners of his mouth and continued: "Don't you know what's going on with the Jixian Imperial Court? There is no Youzhou, there is no Jixian County, there is no court, this is just a decoration, I need it and it exists, if not, hum, don't put the cart before the horse, your honor and disgrace are not in the court, but in my mansion. You should think carefully and don't make mistakes1
If Liu He had said this yesterday or earlier, he would have analyzed the gains and losses for everyone, and then asked everyone for a knighthood, this thing would definitely be a good thing, and everyone would be happy and convinced of him, but things have come to this point, and these people were also taken by people yesterday, Liu He said this again, but it just made people feel that Liu He was a little mean.
Seeing that everyone bowed their heads and was silent, Liu He felt pretty good, and felt that he was very authoritative, but he didn't know that in fact, everyone had begun to centrifugal, so they were secretly making their own little calculations.
"Childe, we are all people who know books and etiquette, and we know what loyalty is. In addition, although the Son of Heaven lives in Jixian County, Jixian County is also the Jixian County of the Han Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, so it is better for the son to give enough respect. β
Wei You is a bit tendoned and a little pedantic, he really shouldn't have said this at this time.
"Wei Zishan! Do you think it's more promising to follow that little genius? Could it be that I didn't understand enough? If so, please retreat1
Wei You was angry, Tie Qing stood up with a blue face and brushed his sleeves away, Liu He said hatefully: "Tomorrow, I will send Wei You to Changli, and those who are against me will never be good" to be continued...
