Whether it is governing the local government or engaging in politics, Liu Yu is a good hand.

At this point, Liu Bei also decided to be good.

And another invulnerable aspect of him is one of the rules he has with his troops - never allow the army to raid the place.

Perhaps it is because he cherishes his reputation too much, or because of some special psychology, although Liu Yu himself does not have strong military talents, and he mainly relies on his generals Tai Shici, Guan Hai and others to fight, but he has a good grasp of military regulations and military discipline.

When he led his troops out on the expedition, he would never allow the army to raid and disturb the localities, and he would never allow the army to destroy farmland and houses, and he was very strict in controlling this area.

Even if a rebel army occupies a town, he does not allow the army to attack the town, for fear of destroying the houses of the people and destroying the foundation of their existence.

He often prefers to resort to negotiations, encirclement, and other gentle means, or simply besiege rather than attack, forcing his opponent to choose to surrender.

Of course, this made Liu Yu's war a little protracted and costly, but it also made Liu Yu's popularity in Qingzhou very high, and there were many people who respected him.

Because they all know that Liu Yu has a benevolent heart, as long as he doesn't touch his bottom line, he will not kill people at will, which is rare for people living in the chaotic era.

Therefore, even those who rebelled because of the slave restriction order learned that Liu Yu personally led troops to conquest, and they all lost the will to fight, and chose to admit their mistakes and surrender to Liu Yu, and let Liu Yu deal with them.

Only a very small number of diehards chose to attack Liu Yu, but they were not the opponents of the Qingzhou army, so the rebellion in Qingzhou was resolved by Liu Yu in a very short time, and the losses brought to the local area were also very small.

It can be said that in addition to Liu Bei's New Han Army, Liu Yu's army is the old Han Army with the best military discipline, and there is no one.

Liu Bei did not feel the slightest embarrassment about the army under Dong Zhuo's command that was comparable to a beast and Dong Zhuo himself, but Liu Yu, he felt that he had to be cautious.

An elder with such a high reputation, if he does not handle it well and kills something like Gongsun Zhan, he will only plant the seeds of destruction, and with Liu Yu's military exploits and political achievements over the years, he cannot be rewarded with an ordinary position, nor can he be relieved of his position as a pastor of Qingzhou, and by the way, he will be relieved of his military power.

Therefore, it was necessary to attract him with the position of the third duke, so as to relieve him of his position as Qingzhou pastor, and at the same time, Liu Bei himself had to give up the position of Liangzhou pastor and completely end the existence of the state pastor in the late Han Dynasty, so as to promote the initial unification of the military power of the Han Dynasty.

In the current Central Imperial Court, only Lu Zhi holds the position of Tai Lieutenant, and the positions of Situ and Sikong are vacant, and there is no one who is highly respected enough to hold these two positions.

Liu Bei originally wanted to recommend Zheng Xuan, who is currently serving as a sacrificial wine in Taixue, to serve as one of these two positions, but Zheng Xuan refused, saying that he went out of the mountain again and came to Luoyang, and his only purpose was to serve as Taixue's sacrificial wine, that is, to run a school, and he had no interest in politics.

He no longer wants to be involved in politics, he just wants to be a scholar, engage in academics, engage in ideology, and cultivate and train students.

In the wave after wave of political tsunamis, fewer and fewer old ministers in the DPRK and China can die well and maintain their reputation, and there are no people who can serve as the third prince.

And now, Liu Yu has become the only suitable person.

So at the beginning of April of the fourth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei was fully prepared and submitted to the imperial court, recommending Liu Yu, the pastor of Qingzhou, to enter the court as the position of Situ on the grounds of Liu Yu's hard work, the elder of the clan, good conduct, and the world's admiration.

In addition, on the grounds that Dong Zhuo, the assassin of Xuzhou, had made a contribution to quelling the rebellion, he decided to transfer Dong Zhuo to Luoyang and serve as one of the nine kings.

Then, Liu Bei recommended Xun Yu, the former Shou Xun of Runan County, to replace Liu Yu as the Assassin of Qingzhou, and recommended his cronies, Shangshu Zuocheng Jia Xu to replace Dong Zhuo as the Assassin of Xuzhou.

In the end, Liu Bei sent a table to the imperial court, requesting to resign from his position as the pastor of Liangzhou for a long time, and to recommend his cronies, Jian Yong, who was formerly engaged in Liangzhou governance, to take over the position of Liangzhou Assassin.

Regarding these major personnel changes made by Liu Bei in early April, the reaction of the Luoyang court was mixed.

There are very few people who oppose Liu Yu's dismissal of the position of Qingzhou Mu and return to the dynasty to serve as the third duke, and there are many people who support it, because Liu Yu, like Liu Bei, is an excellent and well-known clan official, and he is a well-known figure.

When he came to take the position of Situ, it would make people feel much more suitable than Yuan Kui's traitor.

As for Liu Bei's resignation as Liangzhou pastor, the recommendation of Xun Yu, Jia Xu, and Jian Yong to take up new positions can be regarded as easy to explain.

Jian Yong, this is purely an internal matter of Liu Bei's group, and Liu Bei has the final say in the matter west of Luoyang.

Xun Yu belongs to the Central Plains Shi clan, belongs to the Xun family, and coupled with Liu Bei's identity as a former official, it is reasonable to arrange Xun Yu to serve as the assassin of Qingzhou, and it can be recognized by everyone.

As for Jia Xu's replacement of Dong Zhuo as the assassin of Xuzhou, as long as Jia Xu and Dong Zhuo are both from Liangzhou, anyway, in recent years, the unspoken rule that Liangzhou people cannot serve as the chief executive of the Central Plains has been broken.

Now people from Liangzhou can hold the post of chief executive in any part of the country, and they are completely unrestricted.

Who made them all Liu Bei's subordinates?

However, there were many objections from the imperial court to the Xuzhou Assassin Dong Zhuo's return to the dynasty to take the position of Dahonglu.

The reason for the opposition is also very simple, thinking that Dong Zhuo was born in a border area, has always been a martial artist, an expert in leading troops to fight, and he does not necessarily have any knowledge, and he suddenly returned to the dynasty to serve as a high position in Jiuqing, or a great Honglu, but it is inevitably a little inappropriate.

Strictly speaking, Dahonglu is the position of a ceremonial official, in charge of the greeting, reception, arrangement of court meetings, conferrals, raids and ceremonies of seizing the lord and cutting the land, and when the princes and kings die, they will be ordered to take care of the funeral, read out the number of the edict, the court meeting of the hundred officials, the guidance of the palm, and the reception of the county residence of the capital division and the county officials.

This is not a position with a lot of real power, but because it often comes forward to deal with foreign affairs, the main focus is on the face of a country, which is equivalent to the representative of the country to the outside world, and in a sense, it also represents the external image of the Han Empire.

Such a person should be a dignified and upright Confucian who is well versed in the etiquette system, not a martial artist from a frontier area.

Everyone thinks that Liu Bei's appointment of Dong Zhuo, a military general, as Dahonglu is really a bit suspicious of Zhang Fei's embroidery.

And should I say it or not, who is Dong Zhuo?

Dong Zhuo is not Liu Bei's old ministry or former official.

Once Yuan Kui's former official, he was a member of the Yuan group, and he later betrayed the Yuan family to Liu Bei in exchange for his current status, and in exchange for the conditions for surviving to the present day, for people in the court, Dong Zhuo is a tainted guy.

He betrayed his benefactor.

Letting a tainted guy take up the position of chief executive in the Central Plains is already considered an extrajudicial favor in the eyes of many people, let alone letting this tainted guy hold a high position in Jiuqing.

Those who serve as high-ranking officials in Jiuqing are often qualified to serve as high-ranking officials at the level of the Three Princes, and if they also have a local administrative resume as a county governor or a state assassin at the local level, then it is more likely to be a high-ranking official of the Three Princes.

Many high-ranking officials at the level of the Three Princes were appointed as the local county magistrate or the state assassin, and then served as the position of Jiuqing, thus obtaining the qualification to be promoted to the Three Princes, and then they lined up to boil their qualifications and wait to be the Three Princes.

Dong Zhuo had been going around in the local area before, served as a lot of chief executives, fought wars, and accumulated military achievements, and now he is going to be transferred back to Luoyang to serve as a senior official of Jiuqing, does Liu Bei plan to push Dong Zhuo to the position of the third duke?

This makes a lot of people feel uncomfortable.
