Chapter 341: Prelude to the Destruction of Wu by Sealing the Void and Reality
The Son of Heaven has no jokes.
When Liu Bei's words of appreciation spread throughout the ears of those present, a look of surprise appeared on the faces of everyone present.
Then they shifted their gaze from Liu Bei's body to Mi Yang.
Liu Bei's appreciation expressed his high appreciation for Mi Yang's behavior of valuing promises over profits, and also directly announced his next appointment to Mi Yang.
That was to confer on him the office of state pastor!
After realizing this, Mo said that everyone present felt a little incredulous, even Mi Yang himself was surprised.
This is the state pastor.
The Book. Zhou Guan" has a saying: "Tang Yu Jigu, the establishment of only a hundred, there are a hundred and four mountains inside, and there are state pastors and marquis outside."
From this record, it can be seen that the state pastor was a prince under the Son of Heaven in the pre-Qin period.
After the establishment of the Qin and Han dynasties, although the position of state pastor was reduced from the original princely position to the rank of ordinary courtiers, the power represented by this name has not been reduced at all.
Everyone in the world knows that the state assassin is the highest administrator of a state, but the state pastor is different from the state assassin.
Although the power of the state has risen in recent decades, its authority is mainly reflected in the administrative aspect.
And what about the state pastor?
As long as it is all affairs in the state, even including the appointment and dismissal of officials, it can be directly under the jurisdiction of the state minister, and there is no need to go through the central court.
The state pastor of the Han Dynasty was more powerful than the festival of the Tang Dynasty in later generations!
The name of the courtier, but in fact the prince, this is the most appropriate description of the position of state minister.
It was precisely because the position of state pastor had so much power that when the people present knew that Liu Bei intended to let Mi Yang serve as the state pastor of a state, their faces would appear in disbelief.
In the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, the position of state pastor was set up and abolished, although in most cases it was held by clan relatives, but it was not uncommon for foreign surnames to serve as state pastors.
For example, Han Fu, such as Guan Yu, who just passed away.
But Mi Yang is only how old he is this year, and he is only twenty-two years old.
It is the first case in the past 400 years of the Han Dynasty to hold the position of state pastor at such an age.
However, although because of Mi Yang's age, everyone present was greatly surprised that Mi Yang was about to become a state pastor.
But when they thought of Mi Yang's various exploits in the past, they also thought of the political tradition of the Han dynasty over the past 400 years.
None of the people present had any objections to Liu Bei's appointment.
Because of this thought in their hearts, everyone present turned their envious eyes to Mi Yang.
Can you not be envious?
You must know that in the entire Han Dynasty, only Mi Yang will become the state pastor of a state.
Even if Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang are the two powerful ministers, the ministers of each town, they have not yet received this kind of honorific title.
The glory of being unique is always easy to blind the eyes of many people.
At the beginning, this kind of glory, among Liu Bei's courtiers, only Guan Yu had gotten it.
It's just that after the people present realized this, an idea gradually appeared in their hearts.
The current territory of the Han Dynasty is mainly in Jingyi and Yizhou, and with Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei in the presence, Liu Bei will not let Mi Yang become the pastor of Jingzhou or Yizhou.
In addition to these two states, Mi Yang can also serve as the state pastor of which state.
Could it be that this is a false seal, just like Ma Chao?
When this doubt gradually surfaced in everyone's minds, Liu Bei happened to come to Mi Yang with a smile on his face.
After Liu Bei arrived, looking at the undisguised appreciation and relief in Liu Bei's eyes, Mi Yang bowed heavily to Liu Bei.
Between him and Liu Bei, the king knows the minister, and the minister also knows the king, and there is no need to say a lot of polite words.
Liu Bei looked at Mi Yang who bowed down to him, and while the smile on his face became more and more vigorous, he stretched out his hands to personally help Mi Yang up from his side.
"If what you do today spreads, it will let the world know that my Han is the orthodoxy of the world and the state of faith, and I am very satisfied with your behavior today."
When Liu Bei said this praise to Mi Yang, Mi Yang and the Hanchen were of course smiling, while Zhang Wen and other Jiangdong envoys were ashamed and embarrassed.
Liu Bei's words, it is difficult not to be understood by Zhang Wen and others that Liu Bei is insinuating them.
The more faithful and righteous Mi Yang's behavior is today, the more it reflects how ridiculous and absurd their actions are today.
came with the well-known idea of patting the horse's ass, but slapped the horse's fart on the horse's leg in front of the world.
The former's behavior was already shameful, and the latter's sudden appearance was even more shameless for Zhang Wen and others.
However, Liu Bei didn't have the time to deal with what Zhang Wen and the others were thinking about now, and after he helped Mi Yang up, he smiled at Mi Yang and said:
"You are my minister, and you are my nephew, what you do today is bound to become a good story, and I, as your monarch, can't let this good story go wrong."
"Back then, King Zhou Cheng was crowned a marquis, and I will be a pastor today!"
When Liu Bei said this, the envy of Mi Yang on the faces of everyone present became stronger and stronger.
Liu Bei's love for Mi Yang that he is now showing in front of everyone is almost full.
Just take the word "monarch father" mentioned by Liu Bei, how can these two words be used lightly?
Monarch is generally the honorific title of the courtier to the Son of Heaven, but few Son of Heaven will use this as a self-title to his subordinates.
Because of this kind of self-title, it is easy to arouse the imagination of the world.
Unless the Son of Heaven really treats that courtier as a son.
Looking at Liu Bei's love and importance for Mi Yang in the past, everyone's hearts silently removed the word "unless" in the above sentence.
The relationship between Emperor Xiaowu and Huo Dasima reappears in the eyes of the world, and it is understood and understood.
And Liu Bei immediately went on to say his specific appointment to the post of pastor of Miyang Prefecture:
"Edict: The three counties of Hanzhong, Hanxing and Yinping in Yizhou, and the three counties of Wudu, Tianshui and Longxi in Yongliang were re-established in Liangzhou according to the ancient system, and the general Miyang of Zuo was worshiped as the pastor of Liangzhou."
When Liu Bei's specific edict came out and became known to everyone present, the surprise on everyone's faces was even stronger.
Just when everyone thought that Liu Bei would make a false seal on Mi Yang, Liu Bei's edict clearly reflected that Mi Yang's state pastor was definitely not in name.
China has been called Kyushu thousands of years ago, and there are many different opinions about what Kyushu is.
At present, the mainstream view is a statement in "Shangshu Yugong", and Kyushu is: Ji, Yan, Xu, Qing, Yang, Jing, Yu, Yong, and Liang;
The approximate scope of Liangzhou is the whole territory of present-day Yizhou and part of Yongzhou.
Later, with the changes of the times, the territory of Liangzhou was constantly divided, and the name Yizhou also replaced Liangzhou as synonymous with the southwest of the Han Dynasty.
However, the Chinese nation has a strong idea of reverence for the ancients, and the oldest state name in Liangzhou is very well recognized by the world.
In addition, because the territory of Liangzhou has been changing for thousands of years, the six counties that Liu Bei divided into Miyang above originally belonged to Liangzhou in different eras.
Therefore, Liu Bei's approach can be said to be unexpected, but it is very in line with ancient political traditions.
It's just that what surprised everyone present even more was that Liu Bei's reward for Mi Yang was not a false seal, but it couldn't be said to be a real seal.
Because four of the six counties of Liangzhou were newly established, they are not yet under the control of the Han Dynasty.
The combination of fiction and reality is the way Liu Bei, who has high emotional intelligence, rewards Mi Yang.
He gave Mi Yang to the two counties of Hanzhong and Hanxing, and he also gave Mi Yang to the other four counties in name.
As for whether Mi Yang can completely become a well-deserved Liangzhou pastor, it depends on Mi Yang's performance in the next Northern Expedition.
If you fight down, it's all yours!
And Liu Bei's reward can not only give Mi Yang a substantial reward, but also allow Mi Yang to maintain a high-spirited and enterprising spirit at all times, which can be described as the best of both worlds.
This is Liu Bei's virtuous and virtuous political skill.
Liu Bei's thoughts are known to everyone, and Mi Yang is of course no exception.
Liu Bei's reward with such good intentions made Mi Yang feel excited in his heart, and at the same time, he also showed moving emotions.
The elders love the younger generations, and they will have far-reaching plans, and now Liu Bei is planning far-reaching for him.
It is no wonder that in the history of the teacher's table, Zhuge Liang would write the sentence "The special encounter of the first emperor of Gaichai".
Now Mi Yang is the biggest beneficiary of this sentence.
Faced with Liu Bei's special encounter with him, the only thing Mi Yang could do was bow down to Liu Bei:
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After Mi Yang thanked him, Liu Bei looked proudly at the champion Hou he had cultivated, and his heart was full of pride.
Mi Yang's first teacher was not Fazheng, but actually him.
After the edict was issued, Liu Bei signaled everyone present to retreat.
He had something to say to his Liang Zhou pastor.
At Liu Bei's signal, everyone retreated from the field one after another.
Soon after, there were only two monarchs and ministers, Liu Bei and Mi Yang, in the banquet.
At this time, Liu Bei looked at Mi Yang, and the first thing he said was: "I am going back to Chengdu." ”
After hearing Liu Bei's words, Mi Yang was silent.
Because he knew that Liu Bei still had something to say.
Sure enough, without waiting for a while, Liu Bei continued:
"I know about Thorn Yang, you did a good job, and you have the style of me in Anxi County back then."
"Before leaving, the only thing I was worried about was Sun Quan's plot against you, and you despised Sun Quan too much at first."
When he said this, Liu Bei's words inadvertently carried some stern tones.
Just like when Mi Yang was young, he raised the face to Mi Yang.
Facing Liu Bei's lesson, Mi Yang's face showed some shame, and he bowed to Liu Bei to admit his mistakes as when he was young.
Indeed, if it weren't for his contempt for Sun Quan's means of conspiracies, there might have been a better solution to today's affairs.
It's just that Liu Bei didn't criticize Mi Yang too harshly, because judging from the results, Mi Yang's performance today can't be said to be bad.
Liu Bei's face softened a little, he came to the main seat of the banquet and sat down, Mi Yang followed behind him, and finally stood in front of him.
After Mi Yang stood up, Liu Bei said to Mi Yang: "The fact that the cunning captives can have the heart to use today's conspiracy shows that Jiangdong's vitality has recovered faster than we imagined." ”
"Perhaps it won't be long before Sun Quan's ambitions are fully restored."
Regarding Liu Bei's judgment, Mi Yang nodded approvingly.
It is good that Jiangdong was greatly injured in the first battle of the public security, but the fundamental reason why Jiangdong was greatly injured in that war was that Jiangdong's grain stocks were almost destroyed in that war.
The battle of public security was not the battle of Changping, and the young men in Jiangdong did not suffer a fault-like blow.
Compared with the loss of young and strong, the speed of replenishment of grain, a strategic material, will be faster.
Even if the year is good, this speed will be greatly shortened.
This is the reason why Mi Yang inferred that Jiangdong would not be able to start a war for about five years.
Seeing that Mi Yang agreed with him, Liu Bei sighed slightly:
"Sun Quan should not be taken lightly, nor should he be trusted. Once the vitality of Koto is restored, the situation in the world will certainly change again. ”
"Time is running out, Zisheng!"
Liu Bei's two sentences revealed his deep concern for the future of the Han Dynasty.
It is true that in the past two years of Miyang's crossing, the Han Dynasty has won successive victories in foreign wars, but this has only greatly expanded the strategic environment of the Han Dynasty, and has not fundamentally changed the pattern of three points in the world.
It has not fundamentally changed the pattern of the north being strong and the south being weak.
To do this, you can't do it with just a few big wins.
After sighing, Liu Bei beckoned Mi Yang to sit down at his feet.
Facing Liu Bei's beckoning, Mi Yang sat at Liu Bei's feet.
After Mi Yang sat down, Liu Bei took out a secret piece from his arms.
"Today, I worship you as the pastor of Liangzhou, partly because of the reward for you, and partly because of this secret letter."
After saying this, Liu Bei handed over the secret music in his hand to Mi Yang's hands.
Seeing this, Mi Yang hurriedly took the secret music in Liu Bei's hand, and then looked at it seriously.
But when he saw the first sentence in the tantra, his eyes couldn't help but freeze slightly.
Tantra is the identity of the performer.
And this secret recital was played by Prime Minister Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei.
After knowing this, Mi Yang immediately cheered up and looked at the content of the tantra:
"Out of the division must first be famous, the soldiers have the first voice and then the real person, now the minister heard that His Majesty wants to have the idea of cutting Wu, especially in this book.
Or the speaker said that now because of the defeat of the Wei army to take advantage of Wu, the Wu people were terrified and swept away.
However, after the battle, the soldiers are tired and cannot be used, so they should be slowed down;
Those who are good at fighting will fight hard and fight wisely.
Today's next three points, although the national strength of Dongwu is the weakest, but the Dongwu family is coiled, the people's hearts are separated from the Han, if there is a war, it will not be solved suddenly.
Since then, there has been a commotion against Wei, and our army may be attacked on its back.
For the sake of long-term planning, His Majesty should now take the comfort of the Wu people, and let the virtuous ministers boil salt and rejuvenate the smelt, which should be used by the army and farmers, and be used as boats and boats, and Yu Shunliu.
However, in the land of Jingzhou, the three families are divided into territories, and they are widely distributed, and the secrets are not hidden, so it is not feasible to do this.
Only beneficial to the north of the first district, located in the upper reaches of Wudi, and hidden between the mountains and forests, is really a war readiness area, I hope Your Majesty thinks. ”
Maybe because of the rush of time, Zhuge Liang didn't say much in this secret letter, but Zhuge Liang's words have always been in one sentence.
After Mi Yang finished reading the contents of the secret recital, he raised his head and looked at Liu Bei in surprise.
The resetting of Liangzhou is not just for the Northern Expedition?
That's a chapter for today.
