Chapter 43: State Pastor

Trust between people is a precious and scarce thing, and many people find it difficult to obtain until they die.

Suspicion between people is a poisonous seed that exists in people's hearts all the time.

Between the most powerful people like monarchs and ministers, suspicion is always far greater than trust.

So the emperor's mind or power technique came into being.

The Legalists call it a hundred battles in one day!

Nowadays, there is almost no trust between the monarchs and ministers of the Han court, and after years of confrontation with each other, the political atmosphere is serious to the extreme.

The relationship between the emperor and the courtiers has fallen to the freezing point in the hundred years since the Later Han Dynasty, the king is not a good king, and the courtiers are not good courtiers.

The only factor that can maintain the unity of the Han Dynasty is the inertia brought about by the political tradition of the 300-year-old Han Dynasty.

Everyone is doing things step by step, and while serving their own interests, they jointly maintain the banner of the Han family and the existence of the emperor.

Zhang Jiao is using the most violent means to turn the whole world around, this is an existential moment, and the emperor is suspicious of certain people.

The more critical the moment of survival, the more he loves to fight, not only the current emperor, there are too many such people in history, the Qin State was able to successfully destroy the Shandong States back then.

It's not just that the Qin State is strong, but the main thing is that there are frequent infighting among the countries, and now the Han is also going to embark on this road of no return?

There were loyal courtiers in the palace who thought sadly.

The emperor sat on the couch, condescendingly, receiving everyone's thoughts one by one, and the ministers in the palace knocked on the side and asked who the emperor was suspicious, but the emperor did not say specific people, only expressed concern about the overall situation.

This made many ministers a little confused, and they didn't understand what the emperor wanted to do.

If it is aimed at a certain person, then it is necessary to judge how to deal with it so as not to cause large fluctuations.

Now that the emperor is dissatisfied with the overall situation, does he want to change the whole system?

Although the county system is indeed a little inappropriate in the current troubled times, many people have discovered it in the battles against the Taiping army and the thieves and rebels everywhere.

If it weren't for King Qin's edict to loosen the ties of the Taishou of each county, I am afraid that these Taishou would still be trapped in a county and dare not lead their troops out of the country.

Looking at the emperor sitting on the couch and the somewhat confused courtiers, Liu Yan's heart suddenly pounded violently.

He reacted that the emperor might not be suspicious of a particular prince, but rather dissatisfied with the system that had caused this result.

This is an opportunity!

A thought that has been in my mind countless times, but has never had a chance to say it, may be waiting for this opportunity.

Liu Yan quietly looked at the emperor above, recalled the words he had thought about countless times, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a performance!" ”

Everyone in the hall cast their eyes over, and the emperor asked Liu Yan to continue, and Liu Yan fell to the ground and said solemnly: "Your Majesty."

In the past, what did Bangzhou rely on?

It is a prince who relies on the surname Ji and the surname Jiang.

The Qin Dynasty did not divide the princes and collapsed in just over ten years, and if it were not for Emperor Gao's mandate, the situation in the world might have to settle down.

So after Emperor Gao won the world, he sealed the princes of the Liu family in all directions, and the disaster of Qin's death did not appear in my Liu family, and the three hundred years of the country have been passed down to the present.

In the early Han Dynasty, there were countless golden princes in the world, and there were close princes and kings in the world who held great power, each of which was guarded by one side.

At that time, although there were rebellious and rebellious people in the world, almost all of them were nipped in the bud.

It wasn't until the collapse of the golden order in the world that a group of thieves rose up in the late Han Dynasty.

After Emperor Guangwu was revived, the world abolished the marquis and defended it again, but to this day, the Taishou and Haoqiang colluded and emerged in endlessly.

Advancing cannot quell the chaos, and retreating cannot defend the land, which is the disadvantage of guarding a county too much.

Do Your Majesty and the Ministers know why? ”

As soon as Liu Yan's words came out, everyone in the hall suddenly held their breath, and the emperor and the princess all looked at Liu Yan, guessing what he wanted to do?

The reason?

Isn't it that although the authority is too large, the scope of governance is small, and the counties cannot be united, but the rebels will not care about the boundaries of states and counties.

Isn't it just that there are no courtiers in the local area who can be trusted by the imperial court, and they can't exert their hands and feet vigorously?

In the pre-Han Dynasty, although the Jin Ling Liehou was only a county, once the war was in time, the power was greater than the current Taishou, and the mere fact that he could lead a large army out of the country was much better than the Taishou.

Many people have already guessed what Liu Yan wants to say, and Liu Yan did not beat around the bush, and said directly: "Your Majesty, when there is chaos, sending clan relatives and ministers of faith out of the town is a tried and tested practice for thousands of years.

Today, most of the clan relatives are serving in Luoyang, which is unreasonable.

The imperial court is the sky, and the local towns are the pillars of optimus that support the imperial court, if you don't strengthen these pillars of optimus but continue to increase the weight of the sky, how can the Han be stable?

The minister suggested that His Majesty should appoint outstanding talents in the clan and His Majesty's most trusted ministers, depose the assassin history that had no effect, and make the important ministers serve as state ministers, and use the state ministers to suppress the Taishou of each county, and suppress the powerful and turbulent Taiping army that was in turmoil between the counties.

The stability of the Great Han is in this! ”

Depose the history of the assassination and set up the state pastor!

"No!"

"This is the way to make the place sit big and die."

"Raising tigers for trouble, this is raising tigers for trouble."

"Liu Yan has a secret trick in his heart, please punish Your Majesty."

As soon as Liu Yan's words fell, there were one after another objections in the hall, which were so loud that almost the entire roof of the hall was about to be lifted, but Liu Yan did not have the slightest uneasiness, he just looked at these opponents lightly, and he believed that soon these people would agree with his approach.

The advantages and disadvantages of abolishing Shi Limu are so obvious, doesn't the emperor know about these shortcomings?

Doesn't Liu Yan know?

So it's okay to be a faint monarch with a brain problem, why do many monarchs and ministers who are obviously very normal suddenly make some stupid moves with brain problems?

It cannot be ruled out that a few of them are indeed inconsiderate, but the vast majority of stupid tricks are actually a last resort.

Just as economic development will cause environmental damage, it will be very troublesome to deal with in the future, and even leave a legacy for future generations, who doesn't know?

But isn't the economy going to develop?

Now you can't even eat, who talks to you about the future, that's the reality.

The reason why Liu Yan proposed to set up a state pastor, not for the princes and kings to go out of the town.

It was that there were no great princes and kings in the Later Han Dynasty, and the feudal system existed in name only, because the rebellion of the kings in the late Han Dynasty made people frightened, and no one dared to mention it.

In fact, it was the political condition of the Later Han Dynasty to make important ministers go out of the town to serve as state pastors, and the most useful last resort was the last resort, and the ministers and emperors in the palace were people who knew politics very well.

It quickly reflected why Liu Yan proposed to set up a state pastor, which is actually a system for the princes and kings to go out of the town, but the state pastor is a little easier to control than the princes and kings.

The emperor can control the world by setting up a state minister, and as long as the state minister he chooses is loyal to the imperial court, the strength of the central court will be greatly enhanced.

The emperor was moved.

He didn't trust the princes now, and what he wanted most was to install his cronies in the local states.

The emperor's expression was moved at a glance, and there were still people in the palace who wanted to speak out against it, but they were all stopped, and this look couldn't be stopped, so it was better to think about how to get enough benefits from it.

The night got thicker, but the emperor and the minister did not feel the slightest tiredness.

A meeting that arose because the emperor had a nightmare would have such a big variable, which no one expected.

……

The disturbances in Luoyang, as well as all kinds of affairs, naturally did not know to the people on the front line, and these princes of King Qin would not know that the emperor had begun to suspect many of them.

Fortunately, the emperor is still smart, and he did not make such brain-dead behaviors as changing generals in battle, remotely commanding, and issuing golden orders.

Huangfu Song and Luokong and many princes were constantly discussing the follow-up battle.

If the two Qinwang armies want to cooperate, who will attack and who will assist, they need to be determined in advance, otherwise hundreds of thousands of people will go to the battlefield, it will be a mess, and the slightest carelessness will be a bombing camp, and then bombing the camp everywhere, and finally the result of defeat.

Luo Kong and Huangfu Song did not get along well.

In Luo Kong's opinion, except for Huangfu Song's super ability to command troops, there is nothing commendable at all.

Possessing almost all the shortcomings of a Han army general, although he has read books, he is a pure martial artist who is too indifferent to life.

Huangfu Song thought that Luokong was a woman and was not a qualified general.

All kinds of discord between the two, other princes naturally saw it in their eyes, some people didn't care, some people even laughed secretly, and some people were a little worried about whether the relationship between the two would affect the battle.

Later, when Huangfu Song and Luo Kong assigned tasks to each other, it was a relatively tacit move, which could be regarded as dispelling the concerns of these people.

It seems that both of them are focused on the big picture, and personal relationships will not affect the future battle.

……

"There is a gap between Huangfu Song and Luo Ziming, and there will definitely be problems with the cooperation in the future.

There is even a scene where the friendly army is in trouble and does not move like a mountain, God really helps me. ”

In the Taiping Army, Luo Xiao said loudly to the crowd.

Huangfu Song is a loyal minister of the Han family, and he can be called upright.

However, loyal ministers and loyal ministers may not be able to live in peace, and they will even attack each other, and even kill each other.

Huangfu Song and Luo Kong are typical personality incompatibility, as long as there is a disagreement, it will definitely affect the work together.

People's actions are very emotionally manipulated, and the bias of likes and dislikes will affect people's judgment, whether friendly forces on the battlefield should be rescued, and how much loss they pay is worth saving, are all unquantifiable data.

It is not an exaggeration to rely on the closeness of the relationship between the managers, and if they hesitate for a while, the whole situation may change.

Luo Xiao has been practicing the Taiping Army's formation for a few days, and this training has begun since he became Zhang Jiao.

In this era when formation is king, a good formation can make the army withstand greater battle damage collapse, and can make the army have stronger combat effectiveness and smaller losses.

Luo Xiao had countless formations in his mind, he had read too many military books, although he had just flipped through them casually before, and he hadn't learned them deeply, but as long as he wanted to use them, his memory would naturally turn them out.

Draw inferences from one another, and integrate them, and you are in the middle of it.

As more and more troops gathered, Luo Xiao led tens of thousands of troops from Xingyang, in addition to the most elite troops, there were also auxiliaries who dressed these armor soldiers.

After such a long time of wrangling, the princes of King Qin finally ended the distribution of the cities they were stationed in and the tasks they were stationed in.

After all, it is impossible for hundreds of thousands of people to be crowded on a battlefield, there are many mountains and rivers on the road from Luoyang to Xingyang, and there are many passes, and there is no such a large plain that can be spread out by hundreds of thousands of people at the same time.

However, the direction of the main attack is all put together, and the real main force is also together, and the goal between the two sides is the same, that is, to directly destroy each other in the field battle.

The Han court was worried that Luo Xiao would retreat to the Kanto region with the Taiping army, collect the thieves in the Kanto, and then regain strength, so it was necessary to defeat the main force of the Taiping army with one blow and completely eliminate the threat of this biggest anti-thief to the Han court.

Luo Xiao wants to make everyone in the world completely lose confidence in the Han Court before the deadline comes, he is not even specifically to kill a mere emperor, he wants to make everyone aware of a problem.

Hanting has lost its destiny!

Now that this world has returned to the time of re-chassing, the heroes with ambitions in their hearts no longer have to worry about the fear caused by the unlost destiny of Hanting.

In order to achieve this goal, Luo Xiao had to break the main force of the Han Ting head-on.

In the hearts of the people of the world, the defeat of a dynasty and the loss of the mandate of heaven is the defeat of the most critical battle.

In the past, King Wu fell, Mengjin would join the alliance, and then the battle of Muye, so the Shang Dynasty fell.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, in the Battle of Handan, the main force of the Qin army was lost, so the Qin Dynasty collapsed.

If Luo Xiao can win a complete victory in the Battle of Luoyang, a shadow will be cast in the hearts of people all over the world, and they will begin to doubt spontaneously.

At that time, Luo Xiao showed a smile on his face, and he said that again, even if the emperor is not dead, I am afraid it will be almost like death.

————

The large-scale use of the state shepherds proved that the Luoyang court had basically lost the ability to manage the affairs of the county system, and when the system failed, the only thing the supreme ruler could do was to trust in human loyalty.

From the perspective of the rulers of the Han Dynasty, this system of going out of the town has a good tradition and results, but the times have changed, Zhang Jiao will not give him a chance, in the face of the chaotic situation, the use of this system in the face of the chaotic situation, the use of this system in a boat for a sword, completely pushed the Han Dynasty into the abyss, the Han died in the Taiping Uprising led by Zhang Jiao, but the real death in the various decisions of Emperor Ling, this is by no means alarmist. ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
