Chapter 677: The Monarch and the Ministers Are Single-minded
Liu Bei wanted Zhuge Liang to replace himself in Chengdu and be the chief regent.
Yes, it is the general "regent" of the government. It's the same as Zhang Taiyue's "I am not a photo, but a photograph" of "shooting".
In other words, Liu Bei gave Zhuge Liang the right to take charge of the Chengdu government alone, and he could decide whether to kill Zang or not.
This right is really too big, so big that Pang Tong, Huang Quan has changed color, and Zhuge Liang himself was also shocked, kneeling and begging Liu Bei to think twice.
Liu Bei just smiled, personally helped Zhuge Liang up, and said, "You and I are all in one mind, why do you need to be like this?!" ”
I mean it.
Liu Bei is a person, his eyes are extremely vicious, and he is really relieved of Zhuge Liang.
The two have been getting along for ten years, and Liu Bei thinks he knows Zhuge Liang's character very well.
If Pang Tong, Fa Zheng, Huang Quan and others still have a little faction and group interests in their hearts, then Zhuge Liang can be said to have tried his best to do everything to put state affairs first.
This is what Liu Bei appreciates and values Zhuge Liang the most, and it is also the most important reason why Liu Bei dares to hand over his power to Zhuge Liang.
Of course, a certain crossing earth dog actually has such qualifications, but the crossing earth dog is far less thoughtful than Zhuge Liang in doing things, and sometimes, personal preferences are easy to affect emotions. Otherwise, Liu Bei can actually delegate power to Zhang Xi.
Liu Bei really doesn't want to go back to Chengdu for the time being, on the one hand, he really wants to stay in Chang'an and enjoy the fruits of victory, on the other hand, only when he is not in Chengdu, some people will jump out, and some contradictions will be stimulated, so that he can see what to do next.
But in Chengdu, Liu Bei also has to admit that it is still the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and this place must not be chaotic.
And now among these people under Liu Bei's command, the one who can really do this is Zhuge Liang.
The relationship between Huang Quan and the Shuzhong family is too close, and it is definitely not suitable to put it back, and Pang Tongjun is slightly better at government affairs, and Fa Zheng needs to sit in Hanzhong, Zhang Xi. Chang'an must have an all-rounder who is good at managing the people and raising the army, right?!
There is only Zhuge Liang, who has enough qualifications and strong ability, and he will definitely be able to suppress those ghosts and ghosts in Chengdu, and at the same time, he can also make some movements along the vine, beat some restless people, and strengthen the control of the imperial court in Chengdu.
This matter is a problem in all aspects, not Zhuge Liang, and he really can't do these things.
As for putting this right, it is also because the object is Zhuge Liang, and if it is replaced by someone else, Liu Bei may not be so generous.
Zhuge Liang went back to Chengdu this time to sit in the town, if he didn't have enough power, he couldn't use many means, if he couldn't make his own decision, he would have to be commanded by Liu Bei remotely. Chang'an is thousands of miles away from Chengdu, and there are some things that are too late to ask for instructions.
Therefore, Liu Bei gave Zhuge Liang the right so happily, but Zhuge Liang himself was still a little vague.
After all, it's something that has never happened before!
Today's Zhuge Liang is not the Zhuge Liang who experienced the Battle of Yiling and had to bite the bullet himself.
Although when Liu Bei went on the expedition, Zhuge Liang had always been sitting in the rear and had a certain amount of governance power, but he still had to report to Liu Bei on many things and strive for Liu Bei's decision.
If nothing else, let's take an example.
When Liu Bei fought in the Battle of Hanzhong, he took away Fa Zheng, who was then the Taishou of Shu County, as a military advisor, and at that time, Zhuge Liang wanted to appoint Yang Hong as the new Taishou of Shu County in order to stabilize the rear, and he had to report to Liu Bei first, and then appoint Yang Hong as the Taishou of Shu County after obtaining Liu Bei's consent.
And now, Liu Bei has delegated power, and Zhuge Liang encounters such a situation again, he can directly appoint it himself, and he only needs to report to Liu Bei afterwards. With such a big right, Zhuge Liang really hasn't experienced it.
Zhuge Liang was always a little apprehensive about this matter, but Liu Bei also had Liu Bei's ideas and concepts, he not only insisted on his decision, but also sent the documents and festivals of the fake festival to Zhuge Liang the next day.
By the way, he urged Zhuge Liang to set off early, arrive in Chengdu as soon as possible, and preside over the political work.
Zhuge Liang had no choice but to take orders and set off for Chengdu.
And Zhuge Liang just left on the front foot, and Liu Bei on the back foot issued another edict, and Qin Mi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, rushed to Chang'an to preside over the ceremony.
Liu Bei wanted to choose an auspicious time to go to the mausoleum of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty to worship his ancestors.
This is also a major event, and it is also an event of great political significance, which to a certain extent, is also a sign of the prosperity of the Han Dynasty again.
By the way, Liu Bei also used this incident as an excuse to temporarily stationed in Chang'an and did not return.
After all, the major affairs of the country are in worship. Sacrifice is never a very simple thing, from preparation to real sacrifice, it often takes half a year or even a year.
Especially for such an important political event, no matter how much Liu Bei makes a big deal about it, it is a normal phenomenon, and it is also a legitimate reason to stay in Chang'an and not return.
But this matter is a bit mixed for Qin Mi.
The good thing is that this kind of sacrifice must be remembered in history, and if the Han Dynasty really rises for the second time, then the first person to hold this kind of sacrifice will inevitably be remembered in the annals of history.
And the person who presides over such a sacrifice and formulates all the sacrificial rituals will inevitably be recognized by the world as a great Confucian, which is something that Qin Mi dreams of.
A few years ago, with the death of Xu Jing, Shuzhong and even the entire Liu Bei group were despised by the Confucians of Wei and Wu in terms of culture, and there was not even a well-known Confucian, so do you dare to say anything about the "State of Etiquette"? !
Don't mention Sima Hui, Sima Hui is a signboard, a mascot, and he has not officially joined Liu Bei Group, and at Sima Hui's age, it is possible to breathe at any time.
Of course, the most important thing is that when the Confucians of Wei and Wu said this, they lost not only Ji Han's face, but also the face of the Confucian scholars in Shuzhong.
But if Liu Bei really finds himself to preside over such a sacrificial ceremony, and he can complete the task excellently. Such a ceremonial event can be handled, who dares to say that there is no great Confucian?!
At that time, no matter what the people of the world think in their hearts, at least in their mouths, they have to classify themselves as the great Confucians of the world. This is something that Qin Mi dreams of.
But there are joys, and there are naturally worries.
Now there is an undercurrent within the Shuzhong family, wanting to unite to persuade the Son of Heaven to return to Beijing, although the Qin family did not participate in this matter, but in the end they also heard about it.
After all, if the Son of Heaven returns to Beijing, it will also be of great benefit to Qin Mi, who is a member of the Shuzhong family, and coupled with his high official position, it is impossible for no one to notify him.
Even, Qin Mi also hopes that the Son of Heaven can return as soon as possible. It's okay to move the capital, but at least not now.
But if today's edict is issued, but he was transferred to Chang'an to preside over the sacrificial ceremony, it is difficult to say whether there is a factor in this that the Son of Heaven wants to cut off the passage of the families in Shuzhong.
In case the day after the sacrificial ceremony, it will be announced that the capital will be moved. So Qin Mi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, agrees or opposes? !
Qin Mi is very entangled in this, and the Shuzhong families are even more entangled.
If it's just that the simple Son of Heaven wants to worship his ancestors and transfer Qin Mi to Chang'an, then the Shuzhong family has nothing to say, after all, this belongs to Qin Mi's own job as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
But the timing of this transfer is too uncomfortable.
Zhuge Liang had just set off from Chang'an, and before he reached Hanzhong, Qin Mi was transferred to Chang'an. In the intervening more than 20 days, God knows what the Son of Heaven thought?!
Could it be true that you have to go up to heaven through the Dongzhou Dispatch?!
If you really want to do this, with Li Yan's virtue, he can cheapen you?!
For this reason, the Shuzhong family, under the leadership of the Li family, once again gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
"Now that Qin Shangshu is ordered to go north, in terms of the edict of the Son of Heaven, it will be impossible to turn back to the Son of Heaven in the short term, how can we know it?!" Li Yu presided over the recollection again and asked.
Liu Shen groaned a little about this, and said, "Li Gong doesn't need to worry too much, the Zhongshu Order has been ordered to return to the capital, and when he returns, we will naturally know." ”
Liu Shen means that moving the capital is not something that can be done in a day or two, so there is no need to rush it.
But Yang Chong, the head of the Yang family, couldn't listen to it, frowned slightly, and said, "Although the Zhongshu Order is ordered to return to the capital, what is the intention of coming, and we don't know if he returns to the capital, but presides over the relocation of the capital, what should I do?!" ”
What Yang Chong meant, that is, why Zhuge Liang came back, they didn't get any information.
What if Zhuge Liang came back to prepare for moving the capital?!
After all, this is Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang has been in Chengdu for many years, and his ability to govern is undoubted, if Liu Bei wants to move the capital, the most suitable person to handle these things must be Zhuge Liang.
And now that Chengdu is surging in private, Yang Chong doesn't believe that Liu Bei will know nothing about the situation in Chengdu. If Liu Bei really has no intention of moving the capital, but only plans to return to the dynasty after the ancestor worship in Chang'an, then the people who come back to appease the Shuzhong family should also be Huang Quan, not Zhuge Liang.
When Zhuge Liang returned to Chengdu, he always gave Yang Chong a very uneasy hint.
This is actually not only Yang Chong, but even many Yizhou families think so.
The reason is also very simple, these Yizhou families have been completely spoiled by the chaotic situation in the past few decades and the indulgence of Liu Zhang's father and son.
Until now, they have always believed that whether it is Liu Yan's father and son, or Liu Bei, if they want to govern Shuzhong well, they must cooperate with them, and when they encounter something, they must discuss it with them first.
Now seeing that Liu Bei intends to move the capital, and the person who came back to appease them at the same time is not Huang Quan, who is also from Shudi. This made them a little unacceptable.
Yang Chong is actually okay, the Yang family can get mixed up with today's status, and his brother Yang Hong can also become the Taishou of Shu County, which shows that the Yang family is still a generation that can understand current affairs in this generation, although it is anxious, but after all, it is not panicked.
And Li Yu and Liu Shen are outstanding in their own right, and they are also the masters who have been in charge of the huge family for many years, and they are both calm masters.
But some people who can't hold their breath don't have such good patience.
"The Son of Heaven doesn't know the severity, how can there be a reason to leave the country for a long time and not return, I, as a minister, should be admonished!" Zhang Shen stood up suddenly and said impassionedly.
Li Yu looked at this person a little speechlessly, just forget it, why is there a problem with identity? !
What kind of family are you Zhang family, Liu Bei's courtiers?!
If I remember correctly, our Li family branch also has a governor Li Hui, Wuling Sima Li Qiu, the Liu family also has Liu Yin in the army, and Yang Hong of the Yang family is now officially Shu County Taishou. Which of the Zhang family's sons is a big man?!
Well, even if you're thick-skinned, but here's the thing
"Zhang Gong thinks, how to admonish him?!" Li Yu pondered for a moment and asked.
Zhang Shen looked at everyone present with a proud face, and then said proudly, "My three-room boy has an old relationship with Huang Yuan, and Huang Yuan has always been not on good terms with Zhongshu Ling, today the son is stranded in Chang'an and does not return, and Zhongshu Ling is single and goes south but does not know the intention, it is better to do it"
Yes, got it!!
