376 Three major state pastors
It doesn't matter if this kind of thing is true or not, the Qi Warlock just needs to say it, and it doesn't matter if he says it, it doesn't matter if he doesn't say it, just fool the past.
Since ancient times, there have been thousands of prophecies, and there are few failures, but as long as one or two are right, it is enough to shock the world.
As long as the world feels that there is really someone who can predict the future, the profession of Qi Warlock will always be popular, and there will always be a market for this thing.
Therefore, Dong Fu doesn't care at all whether Yizhou is really a genius, he just needs a passable person to relieve Yizhou's troubles, and make a little use of his profession and professional skills for this.
"The old man has lived to be eighty years old, is it possible to tell a lie?"
Liu Yan's face was full of disbelief.
"This matter is very important, it is related to the imperial lineage of the Han Dynasty, why didn't Dong Gong tell the Son of Heaven but tell me?"
"Why does Junlang think?"
Dong Fu blinked and looked at Liu Yan with a smile.
The guess in Liu Yan's heart that didn't exist suddenly came to fruition.
"Dong Gong, I am the Great Han Clan, and I will not do anything that is contrary to the existence of the Great Han Mountains and Rivers."
Liu Yan swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty.
"Jun Lang, did the old man let you do something that is contrary to the existence of Dahan Mountains and Rivers?"
Dong Fu looked innocent: "Junlang, the old man just told you that Yizhou is a genius and didn't say anything else, do you think the old man said anything?" ”
He was really just talking about it.
But......
When Dong Fu said this, Liu Yan suddenly remembered the corruption of Yizhou Assassin Shi Xi, who had made a bit of a big fuss in the DPRK recently.
Xi Jian is a eunuch, for the interests of the eunuchs, but also for his own interests, in the position of Yizhou Assassin Shi skillfully set up a name to collect taxes, not only scraping the oil and water of the common people, but also stretching his hand into the money bags of the local scholars in Yizhou.
He completely ignored the rules of each family and his family, and took advantage of it, threatening this family today and that family tomorrow, forcing them to give up a large amount of benefits to himself and the eunuchs, and his appearance was extremely ugly.
If a certain family member does not obey his blackmail, he will implement a policy, and take the group of minions under him to rob directly, and he will not even have a soft policy.
As a result, in a short period of time, he boiled the public resentment in Yizhou, from the low-level people to the upper-class scholars, who hated him very much, and wanted him to get out of the country quickly.
The Dong family in Yizhou is also a famous family with extensive property, Xi Jian must be desperate to compete with them for interests in order to make money, the Dong family can't stand it, and comes to ask Dong to help the old man.
It is estimated that not only the Dong family, but most of the scholars and Haoqiang in Yizhou may have already had a unified goal and reached a united front, and they want to drive Xi Jian away in one go, and they can't let him continue to plague their Yizhou.
Old Man Dong is the most famous in the capital of Yizhou, so they must have begged the old man.
But for Dong Fu, it is definitely not possible to come directly, Xi Jian took the path of a eunuch, spent money to dredge up the relationship with the eunuch, and got the position of Yizhou Assassin, in order to make money, if he doesn't get the money he paid back, he will never give up.
In order to protect their "reputation", the eunuchs probably will never tolerate the Yizhou people easily getting rid of their business partners.
In this way, this old man Dong is probably desperate, and he has no choice but to think of this idea.
After figuring out this joint, Liu Yan felt that Dong Fu wanted to make a deal with him, let him help the people of Yizhou get rid of Xi Jian and restore order, and then Dong Fu would use his reputation as a guarantee to help Liu Yan gain a firm foothold and let him avoid trouble in Yizhou.
Both sides take what they need.
The road in Yizhou is difficult to walk, as long as the road is cut off, outsiders can't get in, and people inside can't get out, so it's the perfect place to avoid disaster.
It's just that......
"Dong Gong, the decision of the imperial court is not something I can control, and I don't know if I can get this position."
"Whether Yizhou has the spirit of heaven or not, this is something I can know, and whether I can get this position is something that Junlang can know."
Dong Fu smiled and said, "If Junlang is interested, why not fight hard?" ”
Liu Yan was silent for a moment.
"If it is as you say, I will fight for it."
The two reached a tacit agreement, but no one expected that the situation would not go this way.
A few days later, Liu Hong directly convened a court meeting and announced his decision at the court meeting.
In view of the financial difficulties of the imperial court, it was difficult to send a large army to suppress the rebellion, so he decided to appoint a state pastor and allow the state pastor to raise his own army and grain to clean up the Yellow Turban Army.
He decided to appoint the elder of the clan, Zongzheng Liu Yu, to the position of Qingzhou pastor.
Appointed the elder of the clan, Taichang Liu Yan, to the position of Xuzhou pastor.
Huang Wan, an important minister of the imperial court and a master craftsman, was appointed as the pastor of Yuzhou.
All in all, the current situation in Liu Hong's opinion has reached the point where it cannot be solved without strong medicine, and in view of the fact that Liangzhou has achieved good results under the rule of Liangzhou Mu Liu Bei, Liu Hong hopes that the new three state pastors can follow Liu Bei's example and strive to fulfill the duties given to them by the imperial court.
As soon as this appointment was issued, the officials involved in the court meeting began to discuss with each other.
As the three people who were appointed, Liu Yu's face was as usual, Huang Wan was a little excited, and Liu Yan was confused.
What's the situation?
I was just about to apply to be the pastor of Yizhou, why did you appoint me as the pastor of Xuzhou?
Xuzhou is located in the land of four wars, how can it be compared with Yizhou?
And as a state pastor in such a place, how can I plan for the next step?
Liu Yu didn't think much about it, he just felt that the burden on his body was heavier, and Huang Wan didn't think much about it, he just felt that the opportunity to be promoted to the third prince was beckoning to him, only Liu Yan was greatly panicked and unwilling to accept the appointment.
But in public, he really didn't know what to say.
Because there is no need to raise taxes, nor do you need to use the last money in the treasury to fight, so the Manchu civil and military did not have too many ideas, anyway, it is not the first time that a state pastor has been appointed in recent years, and the combination of the Han family and the important ministers of the court does not look strange.
Of course, in addition to Liu Yan, Yuan Kui also noticed some bad things, and suspected that once Huang Wan made meritorious service, he might come back and take up the position of the third prince and compete with him for power and profit, which was very unfavorable to his plan.
He tried to dissuade Liu Hong from such an appointment, but Liu Hong seemed to have come to announce the conclusion, not to discuss, and left soon after announcing the appointment, leaving Yuan Kui with no chance to oppose it.
Yuan Kui felt very unhappy, and felt that Liu Hongquan's appearance must have been slandered in his ear, and this person needless to say, it must be Zhang Rang.
Damn eunuchs!
After the court meeting ended, Liu Yan hurriedly asked to see Liu Hong and told Liu Hong that he was not a talent who could stabilize Xuzhou, and he hoped to obtain the position of Yizhou pastor and stabilize Yizhou for the imperial court.
"Yizhou has recently had a lot of rogues and bandits making trouble, and with the talents of the ministers, I am afraid that they will not be able to deal with too large a large scale of rebellion, and can only deal with three or two bandits.
Liu Hong was very dissatisfied with Liu Yan's request.
"The history of the Yizhou assassin is still in office, a little thief, as long as the history of the assassin is solved, since there is no major matter, why should the state pastor be registered? The Han family sect is in a high position, and it should be worried about the country, why did Jun Lang shirk it? Aren't you willing to fight for the Han dynasty? ”
Liu Hong said this, Liu Yan simply wanted to cry without tears.
He really didn't want to go to Xuzhou, but Liu Hong said it to this point, could he not go?
If he doesn't go, I'm afraid his future career will be over.
So Liu Yan could only accept the appointment with all kinds of reluctance, and prepared to go to Xuzhou.
