Chapter 131: Winter Solstice
In October, winter is coming.
With the order of the central government, when Liu Yu took office as the pastor of Youzhou, Liu Qi led his troops to return to Shouguang.
In the past few months, fortunately, his leadership has repelled the rebels outside, so that the entire Le'an County, including Shouguang, has not been attacked.
In the autumn harvest statistics, according to the statistics sent by Ye Shou, Shouguang is a rare harvest year for more than ten years.
And when Liu Qi returned to his hometown, Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan were recruited by Liu Qi to come to Shouguang together, and were promoted by Liu Qi to the state and county as the governor of the department, and together with Tai Shici, Liu Zhi and others, they took care of the military affairs.
After staying for a full month, at the beginning of November, when they saw the people's livelihood and governance of Shouguang, the two of them had a deeper understanding of Liu Qi's governance ability, and they admired it.
In the assessment just announced at the end of October, Shouguang was the first in Le'an County!
What made Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan sigh even more was the training ability of Liu Qi's subordinates.
The two of them benefited a lot from their studies.
Under the lecture hall opened in the winter, Liu Qi also selected promising generals from the department, and did military planning and other aspects of study and discussion, led the troops to participate in the battle, and won a big victory Sun Guan, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, and Xiahou Lan are instructors, and they discuss tactics and tactics in the inside, which makes the people in the trilogy continue to increase their understanding and cohesion.
At the same time, news also came from Taishan County that a few months ago, after many discussions between the DPRK and China, Cheng Zhuge Jue in Taishan County was officially appointed as the Taishou of Donglai.
After last year's Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Donglai Tai Guard was removed from his post and has been vacant ever since. As for the local situation in the county to the east, in the deliberations of the imperial court, it was thought of selecting a person who was familiar with military affairs.
Zhuge Jue's political achievements in Taishan County are easy to attract the attention of the court, and it is even more natural to come to the east to take office.
Although in the spring of this year, the clan brother Liu Zhi returned, Liu Qi had already learned that Zhuge Jue would be promoted this year, but when he learned about Zhuge Jue's official appointment and dismissal, he was also happy in his heart.
Originally, at the end of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Jue was at this age, fighting with bandits in Taishan County and unfortunately died. Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang and other brothers and sisters, so they were helpless, and later had to be helped by their uncles. But under the flapping of his wings, not only did the Xu family survive, but Zhuge Jue also assisted Ying Shao in managing the county, which greatly reduced the banditry and chaos in the place of Mount Tai. From the point of view of strengths, it has saved many people of Mount Tai who were originally suffering due to turmoil.
Not only that, he was an official in Shouguang, and he also helped the state and county to quell the two turmoils as soon as possible, and he saved many people.
For Liu Qi, in addition to the early intention of supporting the Han family, he was even more pleased.
Now he can save a place, save a state, and in the future, he will be able to save the world with like-minded people!
The younger brother Liu Ji also said in the letter that the Xu family changed their minds and had the intention to take their children to Donglai County together.
With Zhuge and Xu, they have long regarded their brothers and sisters as sons and nieces, and with Xu's care, Liu Qi is also grateful.
After learning the news, in order to welcome Zhuge and his younger siblings to Qingzhou, Liu Qi then asked his brother Liu Zhi to lead hundreds of soldiers to Boxian County to respond.
Brother Liu Zhi selected more than 100 young men to go to Bo County the next day.
On the day of November Shouguang, there is light snow in the sky.
On the day Liu Zhi left, Liu Qi was in the official residence, put down the official document in his hand, looked out the window, and had something in his heart.
Time flies, and more than a month is the time of marriage, and he himself has to go down to Pi next time to greet him.
Therefore, the actual time should be more advanced, almost the younger siblings, and the Zhuge family's family rolls came to Qingzhou, and they were about to leave.
Greeted from Xiapi and returned to office, he planned to carry out the wedding banquet before the end of the year.
The reason why this is the case is a letter sent to him by Jiang Pei.
Four months ago, Jiang Pei had been transferred from the post of Taishou in the East China Sea to the post of Luoyang, and he thought that he was still in office.
The Han Dynasty and now all government affairs are attributed to Shangshutai, Shangshu orders are in charge, and Shangshu is in charge of Cao affairs.
It can be said that Jiang Pei's leap into the real power department of the Han Dynasty is like Lu Zhi, and now he is also serving as Shangshu.
Jiang Pei said in his letter that the DPRK and the Central Committee intended to transfer him to Luoyang as an official, but he discussed the matter at Shangshutai, and postponed it because he was young and still needed to be trained. It is hoped that in the spring of next year, the DPRK and the Central Committee will take up a new post again. Because of the battle of Gonggao, Liu Qi's troops went out quickly, combined with the previous guard Shouguang, and the anti-Yellow Turban Army, the reputation of the anti-Yellow Turban Army was great, and Liu Hong, the son of heaven, also knew about it.
The central government planned to summon Liu Qi and other local pillars to be used in Luoyang, and it was also instructed by Liu Hong, the son of heaven.
Jiang Pei felt that the struggle was fierce, and Liu Qi was worried about the future because of his actions, so he planned to watch the situation from the sidelines and create conditions for Liu Qi to become an official outside, so that he could at least avoid coming to Luoyang and falling into the struggle of the imperial court.
Among them, the heart of love is overflowing.
From a personal point of view, Liu Qi is also happy to be here, so he is very grateful.
In the next two years, the emperor, relatives, eunuchs, and courtiers had severe internal struggles, and there were many struggles in the open and in the dark.
Xu is some habits left over from his previous life, Liu Qi prefers to put affairs on practical matters, rather than fighting for power and profit, and the form is empty.
Unfortunately, with the situation at the end of the Han Dynasty, the dictatorship of foreign relatives, the power of eunuchs, and the factors of the Xiaoice River period, natural disasters continued, and many factors exacerbated the deterioration of the situation and the burden on the people's lives.
Under the internal and external factors, there are few officials who can be content with local governance.
Unlike Jiang Pei's ascension, Hu Zhen was a little miserable after meeting his old boss Dong Zhuo, and in this autumn's Xiqiang War, although there was no big defeat, there was no big victory, which caused Liu Hong, the son of heaven, to reprimand him repeatedly. On the contrary, Dong Zhuo won several battles, which made the Son of Heaven even more important.
Liu Qi knew in his heart that if Hu Zhen did not accept his suggestion, he would invite Jia Xu, a strategist, to his account, but he was afraid that he would be defeated in the confrontation with the Qiang people.
Dong Zhuo is not comparable to Hu Zhen, once it reaches the actual level, the power of Dong Zhuo's overlord will be revealed. Liu Qi can only hope that Hu Zhen can ask for more blessings and tide over the difficulties.
After more than 20 days, Liu Zhi lived up to Liu Qi's expectations, and finally escorted the Zhuge family and his family, as well as the brothers and sisters of the Liu family, out of Bo County, returned to Langya, and arrived safely all the way to Donglai County. According to Liu Qi's letter, the Liu brothers were here for the time being and did not return.
On November 23, there were still two days before the winter solstice, and Liu Qi had written to the state and county ten years ago to ask for leave to welcome relatives.
After arranging the affairs of the county, he took Zhao Yun, Xiahoulan, Tai Shici, his brother Liu Zhi, and a group of more than 30 people from Hanhu to go to Huangxian County on horseback.
On the day of the winter solstice, Liu Qi led everyone to finally arrive outside the city of Huangxian without stopping.
With Liu Ji, Liu Youniang, Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Yue and other brothers and sisters of the Zhuge family, as well as dozens of servants, they greeted them outside the city.
