"This Li Xue, I don't even know what to say about him, he can really bring me a 'surprise'. (Like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)"
As Cheng Yu, as an envoy, brought Helian's head to Luoyang, the Han capital, the news that Xihecheng killed the Xianbei leader and Lian in the first battle swept through all corners of the Han Dynasty like a whirlwind under the intervention of people with intentions.
So after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han Dynasty, which seemed to be a little tired, seemed to have regained overnight the majesty of the horses that had stepped on the Northern Xiongnu and bloodied the Eight Divisions of the Western Qiang, and those enemies who were ready to move from the Qiang and the Yellow Turban remnants in the north to the Baiyue and Barbarians in the south seemed to feel the majesty of the Han Dynasty at this time, and became cautious.
As a representative of Li Shushi's meritorious service, Cheng Yu enjoyed a very high-standard reception, not only by the Taiwei Deng Sheng on behalf of the emperor out of the city ten miles to greet, but also Liu Hong also summoned Cheng Yu at the court meeting and carefully inquired about the battle, and finally praised Li Shushi's merits in the court, and at the same time sent a special person to "pass the head of the company" to "pass the first Liang, Si, and, and Youzhu counties to set an example."
But the reward for Li Shushi and other meritorious personnel was not immediately issued, and the key to this is Li Shushi, if nothing else, because this child's age is too young.
In fact, although Li Shushi's exploits did not reach the point of destroying the country or expanding the territory, it can still be regarded as a first-class meritorious service to slaughter the leader of a large tribal alliance that has the most headache on the border of the Han Dynasty. It is estimated that if you want to make an analogy, it is equivalent to Li Shushi in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, a Taishou who will be a generation of Tianjiao, and it is as incredible as cutting down alone. That is definitely the credit of the real Wanhu Hou, and even it is not impossible for Liu Bangyi to reward a king with a different surname when he is excited, of course, it is certain that he will lose his head in the future.
However, the problem is that Li Shushi is only 15 years old, and although there is a precedent for Ganluo to worship the prime minister at the age of 12 (Note 1), the times are different. Li Shushi was able to become the Taishou Capital at the beginning because no one wanted to go to Xihe, so he was fooled by Liu Hong, who could get one vote, one vote, and the ministers who turned a blind eye to this, and it became a fait accompli.
So it is impossible to be promoted, after all, the other party is a person with real power who holds tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he is a figure who grasps the military and government, so an official position with no real power like Assassin Shi will make meritorious people feel cold, and there is no place to insert it when transferred to the central government, even if it is inserted, it is estimated that he will die in various struggles in less than two years, and Liu Hong is reluctant. There is no place to adjust the flat tone - the fat and oily place Li Shushi still lacks a strong background after all, and the other border county guards don't seem to have to toss like this.
Therefore, after thinking about it, he could only continue to let Li Shushi guard the West River. And it seems that this is also the best choice, after all, the history of the state assassin has been replaced again. In order to cope with the war against Xiqiang, Liu Hong took advantage of Li Shushi's defeat of Xianbei to transfer the original Bingzhou Assassin Shi Ding Yuan and his soldiers and horses to Luoyang, and then promoted Ding Yuan to the position of holding Jinwu, and assigned his soldiers and horses to the command of the general.
In fact, this means that for Li Shushi, Emperor Ling intends to let Li Shushi provide protection for this buffer period when Zhang Yi is not yet able to exercise the power of the state assassination. Of course, before Zhang Yi recruited his subordinates and trained them, Li Shushi could get some supplies from the wealthier counties in Bingzhou, such as Taiyuan County and Shangdang County, which could be regarded as a part-time salary.
Of course, these are not the most important ......
"This Li Xue, it would be better if I killed that Helian two years later, it would make me a little happier. You said that you have scavenged so much money, why do you still want money from me, an emperor who has no money. β
"Why worry about it, it is said that he has detained a lot of shamans, and it seems that the plan is not small."
Mother said with a smile, don't look at this little guy who is casual and even a little timid and afraid of things on weekdays, but he is extremely proud in his bones. Although I don't need to be afraid of such a little guy, it is not in line with my Liu Hong's style to casually break a very useful and valuable object. Besides, this kid also has an appetite for me, and he doesn't have any ambitions, which is just unpleasant. β
"Then His Majesty approved his request to build a partial pass and rebuild Mengmen Pass, and then issued an order for him to appease the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, and finally give him a batch of homeless people and prisoners, which must be enough to make His Majesty happy."
"It's still my mother who knows me, it's funny, it's really interesting. So many things are left to you, see how you pass the buck this time. But Mother, the Cheng Li Cheng Zhongde who came on his behalf this time seems to be a talent, why has he never seen Dongjun Taishou recommend? Look at the people's appearance and courage in Xihe, even the Taishou of any county is still rich, if it weren't for this little guy's boldness and ability to know people, he was stunned and tied to Xihe, I am afraid that I will be ashamed of the villagers again. β
For Liu Hong's complaint, Zhao Zhong did not pick up the stubble, the victory of the Han talents is innumerable, if they are all given suitable official positions, it is estimated that it will be enough to double the territory of the Han Dynasty. Besides, it was given to those scholars who were above the top, what should they do as eunuchs, and what should they do with their relatives and those who are attached to them.
Therefore, at this time, it is good to just shut up, anyway, the clearest thing in this regard is the emperor in front of him. Well, if nothing else, if you do something like him, either no one will buy the official, or you won't want to pay the money and run away before you take office.
It's just that the chain reaction caused by Li Shushi is obviously not so simple, the next day at the court meeting, before Liu Hong released the will of the reward, Liu Yan, who had been transferred to Taichang, presented a book that if Li Shushi was here, he must grab it as an heirloom and keep it.
"Assassinate history, guard too much, bribe as officials, cut off the people, and cause rebellion. You can choose to clear the name of the important ministers to think that the shepherd, the town is safe and summer. (Note 2)"
It's a pity, as mentioned above, Liu Hong, the emperor, may just be giggling when he encounters other things, but if someone touches his money bag or the emperor's position, then his ruthlessness is definitely in line with his identity as the emperor.
However, Liu Yan's political IQ is very high, so his suggestion this time did not explicitly accuse anyone, but just sued Liu Hong, you sold the official too ruthlessly, and the result is now that the people are angry, so you should add a cover on the heads of those officials you sell, and then find some honest and famous people to be this cover. What can this hood do? Of course, it is to monitor the outlaws and restrain them, don't go so far, otherwise even if there are a few Li Shushi, they will not be able to extinguish the rebellions that have occurred one after another.
For such a building that may cut off his financial route, Liu Hong directly put it on the shelf, of course, Liu Yan was not punished, after all, there are more people than him. However, Liu Yan still wrote down this mention - not that he really wanted to find a bottle of pesticide for those corrupt officials, but that this seemed to be a new economic growth point.
In fact, Liu Hong also saw the Yellow Turban Rebellion, because after the county soldiers who were originally in the hands of the central government were gradually transferred to the local government, and the local government recruited and trained them on their own, those guys who basically didn't care about anything other than making money in order to reduce government expenditures, although there was such a name in the tax revenue, but there was no such expenditure. As a result, the general combat effectiveness of the county soldiers is low, and when they suddenly encounter a person like Zhang Jiao, there will be a tragedy in the first battle of Xindu, the assassin Shi was killed in battle, and the Taishou and the county commander were both captured.
But what about the state pastor? At the very least, it is possible to coordinate the whole situation and ensure that each state has a working army to deal with the increasingly complex situation. Of course, the position of state pastor can't be bought by anyone, and it must be a person with a capable and official reputation to become a candidate, as for the price, since the candidates are all people with good political performance and official reputation, then it should be cheaper.
However, the official position of the state pastor, which combines military and political and judicial supervision powers, still makes the emperor feel uneasy, even if there are officials with a clean reputation, so Liu Hong plans to observe and observe first, after all, there is no such Taishou in the northern border of the Han Dynasty. ββ¦β¦ Jiaxi River Taishou Xue was the captain of Pingyu (Note 3), increased the number of 500 households, and the first 700 households, sealed the Marquis of Fanyang Pavilion, and gave 20 catties of gold and 500 horses of silk...... Those who have meritorious service in the whole army will be rewarded with 1,000 dollars, two horses, and a third-class ......"
Because although Li Shushi's results in this battle were very brilliant, the most important thing that could be reported was the head of Helian, and although he had killed a lot of enemies, there were not many heads used to report his merits. Because the corpses of the Xianbei people who ambushed them had been turned into ashes in the valley, it was obviously impossible for that kind of burnt and deformed head to be adopted; Although the siege battle also killed a lot of enemies, every night when the Xianbei people retreated, they would bring back their own bones as much as possible, and there were few heads left for Li Shushi's side to report their merits. Only in the last battle, I finally gained a lot, but the total amount was not so good-looking.
Therefore, he did not win the reward of the Marquis of Wanhu by relying on the conquest of the West and Dongqiang like Duan Cheng did back then. Of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that he did not explicitly defect to the eunuchs, after all, with Lu Zhi, Li Shushi's label is always biased towards scholars. However, in the eyes of Liu Hong, the emperor, Li Shushi actually has the blood of a profiteer in his bones, just like him.
As for the two "rewards" of prisoners and exiles that are tasks for others and rewards for Li Shu, the imperial court only gave a general explanation, because prisoners are easy to say, and eunuchs definitely don't mind letting their enemies go to the cold northern battlefield to serve as soldiers and suffer crimes, but for the exiles, it is not as simple as wanting to accommodate.
Displaced people are displaced because they have traveled away from their place of residence to other regions. For the areas where the displaced people appeared, the officials in the place where the displaced people were originally registered were also punished, but after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the displaced people of the Han Dynasty were really countless, not to mention that many of the displaced people were affected by the war, and many officials in the places where the displaced people were born were slaughtered by the Yellow Turban Army as chickens that laid golden eggs, so the Han government was in no mood to investigate the question of who was right and who was wrong in the end.
Of course, Li Shushi felt that it was entirely because if he wanted to be investigated, none of the upper-class figures in Luoyang would be able to escape, so everyone should pretend to be deaf and dumb together.
Previously, Liu Hong had moved 100,000 displaced people to Chang'an for paid labor, which was just an emergency measure in the face of the Qiang Rebellion in the northwest, but in fact, the common practice of the Han Dynasty was to guide the displaced people back to their places of origin. Therefore, Liu Hong can only give Li Shushi policy support for the displaced people, and it depends on Li Shushi's own means to be specific to the displaced people themselves.
Of course, what Liu Hong didn't know was that Li Shushi's Tuntian rules had been formulated with the cooperation of Cheng Yu, Lu Zhi and others, and they were waiting for the Xianbei people to retreat and implement them.
In general, Liu Hong had to bleed once because of Li Shushi's military exploits, although it made Liu Hong very happy to be able to make the Xianbei people who had plagued the Han for many years stop for a while, but who called a certain emperor His Majesty the first person in the Han Dynasty to suffer from lack of money obsessive-compulsive disorder?
Note 1: In fact, it is Shangqing, which means that the highest-level talent, the same treatment as the prime minister, but absolutely no power of the prime minister - how could LΓΌ Buwei let a little hairy child share his power.
Note 2: Although the history of thorns in the late Han Dynasty was only 600 stones, in fact, it was possible to intervene in local administration under some special circumstances, and there was already a prototype of state pastoralism. In addition, Liu Yanzhoumu's plan should have been brewing for a long time, after all, the place he first wanted to go to was the more remote Jiaozhou. So it's not too early to make such a proposal.
Note 3: Before the generals of the late Han Dynasty were not flooded, many captains had the rank of more than generals. For example, General Xuande before Xiao Lizi (some people still remember) and Sun Jian's General Breaker, Sun Ce's rebellious general are all the fifth rank, and this captain is the fourth grade.
