434 Hussar General, Kaifu

Of course, Liu Hong didn't listen to these words at all like.

By the way, in order to ridicule He Jin, Liu Hong also said that the bloodshed of the two palaces is a big deal, and he can't wait to ignore it, so he summoned Liu Bei's army to perform martial arts to suppress it and respond to the celestial phenomenon, so that the time can be shortened by half, and after three months, everyone will dismiss the army together.

He Jin was speechless about this, not knowing how to continue to make up lies.

The matter of Liu Bei bringing troops to Luoyang could not be changed, and He Jin and Yuan Kui were worried about it.

On the other hand, people who have a good relationship with Liu Bei are also worried about this.

Fu Qian, Ma Riyan and others found Lu Zhi and talked to Lu Zhi about the many rumors in the current Luoyang City.

"The Son of Heaven wants to call Xuande back, it's impossible for Xuande not to know what's going on here, and now it's involved in the matter of abolishing the elder and establishing the young, Zigan, you have to persuade Xuande well, you must not accommodate the Son of Heaven on this issue, otherwise it will be very detrimental to his reputation."

When he said this, Ma Riyan was also a little worried.

"The mind of the Son of Heaven, everyone in the world knows that although Xuande is a relative of the Han family, he must have a position on this kind of matter, such as Liu Qingzhou, who directly opposed the abolition of Chang Liyu, so his reputation is growing, Zi Gan, you can't let Xuande mess around."

Of course, Lu Zhi knew and understood the worries of Fu Qian and Ma Riyan, and he himself thought so.

But the problem now is that the order of the Son of Heaven is not something that can be refused casually, Lu Zhi feels that this order has reached Liu Bei's side, and Liu Bei must also be worried and depressed, but in the end he has no choice but to obey.

"I will definitely persuade Xuande, but since the order of the Son of Heaven has been issued, can Xuande disobey and disrespect? The identity of the Han clan can help him rise to the top, but it will also limit him, he has always been loyal to the monarch and the country, and he is very loyal to His Majesty, how can he resist such an order? ”

Fu Qian and Ma Riyan felt helpless, and there was nothing to say about it.

Lu Zhi wrote a letter to Liu Bei with a worried attitude, asking his family to rush to Liangzhou day and night, and bring the letter to Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei could properly consider the pros and cons of this matter, and don't make a decision in a hurry.

At the beginning of February of the sixth year of Zhongping, the atmosphere of the entire Luoyang City was very strange.

But it didn't take long for Liu Bei's public listing and Liu Hong's second appointment to break this strange situation.

On 11 February, Liu Bei publicly submitted a letter to Liu Hong from Liangzhou, saying that he had already led his troops on the road, and at the same time, he believed that abolishing Chang Liyu was not conducive to the country's peace and stability, and asked Liu Hong to think twice before acting, and not to do anything that would put Sheji in danger.

And Liu Hong's response to this matter was no positive response, just a brushstroke, and then publicly issued an edict, urging Liu Bei to return as soon as possible.

And he also broke the ancestral system and conventions, and granted Liu Bei the right to open the mansion for the first time, so that Liu Bei was able to open the mansion as a hussar general and had the same political status as the three dukes and generals.

In terms of system, the status of the hussar general will be no less than that of the general, and the general traditionally has the qualification of the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and the hussar general prescribed by Liu Hong also has this qualification.

Since then, the hussar general has officially become the fifth official of the Han Dynasty.

These two pieces of news were like a left hook and a right hook, which caught the court officials who supported the He family, the Yuan family, or the Son of Heaven off guard.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, only the three dukes and the general had the right to open the government, and other officials did not have the right to open the government.

Once you have the power to open a government, you can recruit scholars and officials to take up positions in your own government throughout the country, which is completely different from the situation where the state assassin and the county governor can only be limited to the local government.

Scholars and officials in any prefecture and any county or county in the whole country, as long as they have made achievements and are favored by the officials of the founding government, can use the institutional power in their hands to summon this person to the central government to serve as their own subordinate officials, and from then on they will rise to prominence.

The three dukes and the great generals were able to use this vital personnel power to expand their prestige in the entire Han Empire, extend their political tentacles to every part of the Han Empire, and enhance their prestige and power.

The national political family was basically built up slowly by relying on such power, and the best ones today are the Runan Yuan clan of the fourth and third princes and the Hongnong Yang clan of the third prince.

Although it is said that the actual power of the Central Committee of the Eastern Han Dynasty belongs to Shangshutai, and the three dukes are mostly political vases, the power of the Kaifu is still retained.

The Three Dukes can recruit the people they like to become subordinates, their wings, and enhance their political influence by sharing or competing with Shangshutai for personnel power, essentially influencing the government and politics, rather than really becoming a vase - of course, it depends on the person.

The three dukes from the famous family of the scholars, relying on their background and family power, can run their institutional power very smoothly, and widely recruit wings by serving as the three dukes, so that the wings are plump, and the protégés are all over the world.

And the people of the world are also willing to follow these three princes from famous families, thinking that it is an honor to be called by them, and are willing to cooperate with them and become wings.

Although there is no institutional actual ruling power, it can influence the officials who hold the real power through its own influence, so as to indirectly control the government, which is the special feature of the three princes from famous families.

Therefore, although the institutional power of the Eastern Han Dynasty was taken away by Liu Xiu and handed over to Shang Shutai, there was also an institutional and political traditional power struggle between Shang Shutai and officials at the level of the Three Princes.

Of course, this is the prerogative of the three princes from famous families.

Some people from humble backgrounds bought the position of the Three Princes purely by money or connections, and few of the subordinate officials of such the Three Princes are willing to do it, with a short term of office, no wings, and no way to influence the government, it is a real vase, and even becomes a knife in the hands of eunuchs.

For example, Xu Yu, who was previously carried down by Liu Bei's public opinion offensive.

is similar to the third prince is the general, and that is also to watch people put dishes.

When power is great, the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and as soon as the military and politics are grasped, it is the executive vice emperor, or even the one who holds the real power, and he can also abolish the Son of Heaven.

And the one with little power is like He Jin five years ago, and he even has to look at the face of the eunuch to do things, without the arrogant and domineering appearance of other generals, and even a little embarrassed, and is looked down upon by the world.

Therefore, the size of power does not necessarily depend on the position, but mainly depends on the individual, and the institutional power is there, but if you don't have that ability, you just can't get it.

And now He Jin is different, he has been a general for a long time, and the future is promising, everyone is a little convinced that this guy can serve as a general and even a regent for a long time, and he is gradually willing to take refuge in him.

He Jin's power gradually rose, and the prestige belonging to the general gradually returned, and the scholars in his general's mansion began to increase.

Even now he can compete with the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, if you want to have power in the Luoyang court and run your own political group, the best and most convenient way is definitely to be promoted to the third prince and the general, to open the mansion, and then recruit scholars to act as wings and escort yourself.

Originally, this power was only available to a maximum of four people.

And now, the meaning of the Son of Heaven is to arrange for another person to have this power.

This was originally a major event that was enough to shake the central court, and because this incident happened after Liu Bei expressed his opposition to the abolition of Chang Liyou, it was even more confusing.

Everyone doesn't know why Liu Hong wanted to increase Liu Bei's right to open the mansion after Liu Bei expressed his opposition to the abolition of Chang Liyou, and he didn't know what the attitude of the Son of Heaven was.

Of course, Yuan Kui and He Jin were strongly opposed, no matter what attitude Liu Bei held on the matter of establishing the crown prince, Yuan Kui and He Jin were unwilling to let Liu Bei come back, let alone let Liu Bei further obtain the right to open the palace.

It was a clear way to divide their power, divide their forces, and give those wavering guys in Luoyang City and the guys who have already taken refuge in them have one more choice.

This kind of thing, they don't want to accept.

So they immediately sent the die-hard loyalists of their faction and the officials whose interests were deeply bound to the emperor, asking the emperor to change such a decision, because such a decision would not benefit the Han Dynasty and would undermine the stability of the imperial court.

It's always been four people who opened the house, why did one more suddenly come out?

Although Liu Bei had made outstanding achievements, the status of a hussar general was enough to reward him for his merits, so how could he be arbitrarily granted such a serious power as Kaifu?

This is something without precedent, and they hope that Liu Hong will take back his life.

In response to such remarks, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong commanded a vote of officials from Hongdu Gate to read ancient books overnight, and found from the ancient books that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up the position of hussar general, it was to make the hussar general and the general have the same status, and there is no distinction between upper and lower.

As a result, Huo Quzhi, who was a hussar general, became more and more noble, and Wei Qing, who was a general, lost his prominent position.

Until Huo Qu's death, Huo Qu's status and power faintly overwhelmed Wei Qing.

So Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other ten permanent servants jointly signed a table and told Liu Hong about this matter, thinking that the hussar generals should never be lower than the generals in terms of status, but should be divided into situations.

Now that Liu Bei has made such a big contribution, and he is a member of the Han family, why can't he open a mansion?

Liu Hong was very satisfied with this, and on this basis, he believed that there should be no distinction between hussar generals and generals in terms of status, and that what the general owned, the hussar general should also have.

What's more, Liu Bei has made so many contributions to the Han Dynasty, and he is a member of the Han family, a descendant of the Han family, what's wrong with opening a mansion?

So Liu Hong insisted on his own opinion and issued an edict allowing Liu Bei to have the right to open the mansion, and when he returned to Luoyang, he could officially open the mansion and share the military power with the general, and he had no less power than the general in terms of system.

Liu Hong also said that there are three centimeters of power in the administrative side, and this is to prevent one person from being too powerful.

This is the case for court officials, and so should for officers, and it is inconvenient to centralize power in one general, and it is more conducive to the stability of Luoyang to share such power between the hussar general and the general.

Liu Hong planned to use Liu Bei's power to restrict and divide He Jin's power, and launch a ferocious attack on He Jin and Yuan Kui's political clique.

The new expansion pack for the final Eastern Han Dynasty 4.0 decisive battle at the top of the sun has moved towards a more uncertain future with the promulgation of this order.

The confrontation between the two major political blocs has officially entered a white-hot state.
