Chapter 375: New Deal Dynamics
Lu Qiang said this, Rao is a political novice like Liu Wei, and he has already roughly understood the meaning of his words.
"What Weng Weng means is that he wants Cao Cao to replace Yuan Shu and go to Yangzhou to promulgate a new policy for the imperial court?"
Lu Qiang nodded and said, "That's right." ”
Liu Wei said with some embarrassment: "That Cao Cao, after all, is a fellow party of the Yuan family, will he follow my will and will follow the will of the imperial court?" ”
What Liu Wei asked was also the most worrying thing in Empress Dowager He's heart.
Liu Wei's mother and son, now they are worried, in case Cao Cao is supported to take the position, but Cao Cao suddenly completely threw himself to Yuan Shao's side, let the court draw water in a bamboo basket, and suffered losses in vain, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
Lu Qiang was scheming, so he was naturally able to guess the worries of Liu Wei and Empress Dowager He.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, is it possible to allow the old slave to tell a few words of truth?"
"Grandpa, please speak."
Lu Qiang looked at their mother and son, and said: "In fact, over the years, Your Majesty and His Royal Highness can also see that today is different from the past, the Han Dynasty is divided into heroes, and there is a great tendency of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although Your Majesty is still the co-lord of the world, but the authority of the imperial power can no longer fall into the county, like Cao Cao, the old slave can't guarantee whether he can end up with His Majesty, but in the eyes of the old slave, in the matter of the new deal, Cao Cao is available,"
"Because for Cao Cao, although he snorted at Yuan Shao, but at the same time, as a eunuch, he also hated the monopoly of the career headed by the Yuan family in Runan, and his identity was difficult to cross, this new policy is beneficial to the world, the Han family, and Dong Zhuo, but it is not beneficial to people like Cao Cao?"
"You must know that for the Cao family after the eunuch, its descendants will be burdened with the reputation of a eunuch, and the one who can completely change the fate of the Cao family is the old slave who thinks about it, that is, the imperial examination in the new policy."
"As soon as the imperial examination came out, the road to promotion of the wealthy of the poor family was opened, and the influence of the gate of the valve reading was greatly reduced. It's better than being controlled forever. ”
Empress Dowager He's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, the enemy of the New Deal Imperial Examination is the people at the top of the Han Dynasty, and the rest of the people, in fact, are people who will support this policy!" ”
Lu Qiang nodded, and said: "And now the timing is good, Qingzhou's paper and printing industry is prosperous, from the perspective of the imperial court, the imperial examination will be carried out, and then His Majesty's people will be selected, and the subjects will be corrected, and the subjects will be certain, then Qingzhou will vigorously print teaching materials according to the subjects and widely distribute them among the people, then the foundation of the valve reading will be shaken, and the personnel channels will be smooth, and the Han dynasty will be prosperous." ”
Liu Wei also listened with some enthusiasm.
He immediately said to Lu Qiang: "In this case, I also ask Weng Weng to plan on behalf of me and complete this matter." ”
Lu Qiang said: "The old slave should do his best, but if you want Cao Cao to replace Yuan Shu, you still need the consent of Xiangguo after all." ”
Empress Dowager He was very dissatisfied and said: "Why do you have to go through him for everything?" ”
Lu Qiang smiled helplessly: "The empress dowager is depressed in her heart, the old slave knows, but although Xiangguo is tyrannical, it is still of great use to Your Majesty and Your Highness, and I ask the Queen Mother and Your Majesty to be patient for a while...... The old slave is old, sooner or later he will die, and the same is true for Xiangguo, sooner or later, His Majesty is in the spring and autumn period, and he will be able to become the master of Zhongxing! ”
"Good."
……
After receiving the instructions of Liu Wei and Empress Dowager He, Lu Qiang went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo is not interested in others now, but he has great respect for Lu Qiang, and he tries his best to win him over.
He knew in his heart that no matter how strong his power was, in the capital of Luoyang, the only people he could really unite with were the eunuch group.
Who made the two of them always a group of people who were not treated well by the scholars?
Besides, in the deep palace, the eunuch's position in the emperor's heart will never be replaced.
Rao is Dong Zhuo, no matter how good he is to the Son of Heaven, it is the same.
What's more, he is just ordinary to the Son of Heaven.
After Lu Qiang came, Dong Zhuo immediately arranged a banquet, and no matter what Lu Qiang said, let's have a meal first.
Dong Zhuo and Lu Qiang are about the same age, both in their sixties, but it is obvious that Dong Zhuo's physical fitness is much better than Lu Qiang.
Lu Qiang just stopped drinking two jue wines, and said that he would not drink anything anymore.
Dong Zhuo didn't mean anything, and drank a whole jar of "grunt".
Lu Qiang was very measured, and only after Dong Zhuo finished drinking it did he clarify his intention to come here.
But when Lu Qiang talked about it, Dong Zhuo seemed to be drunk.
He listened to what Lu Qiang said in a daze for a long time, and seemed to hear it clearly, but he didn't seem to hear it clearly.
After Lu Qiang finally finished speaking, Dong Zhuo said drunkly: "Let Cao Cao replace Yuan Shu as Yangzhou pastor, right?" ”
"For the New Deal?"
Lu Qiang arched his hand and said: "That's right, although Cao Cao is a subordinate of Yuan Thief, but in the new policy, his interests are consistent with His Majesty and Xiangguo, so take this person as a pastor and implement the new policy in Yangzhou, which is beneficial to the country, please think twice." ”
Dong Zhuo burped and nodded in confusion: "Since it is what the Zhongchang servant said, there should be no mistakes." ”
When Lu Qiang heard this, he hurriedly corrected Dong Zhuo and said: "What Xiang Guo said is not right, this is what Your Majesty said. ”
Dong Zhuo smiled happily: "Yes, this is what Your Majesty said, and let the old man think about it." ”
Lu Qiang didn't ask Dong Zhuo to hurry up, he stood up very interestingly, gave a solemn salute to Dong Zhuo, and then said to Dong Zhuo that he wanted to say goodbye and leave.
Dong Zhuo didn't leave him either, and stood up slowly, as if he wanted to send Lu Qiang, but he couldn't see his state, but he couldn't send it far, and in the end, he could only be done by the housekeeper.
Soon after Lu Qiang left, he saw that Dong Zhuo, who was still a little drunk, returned to his normal state.
He stood up and looked at the direction Lu Qiang left with blazing eyes.
Then he listened to Dong Zhuo's instructions: "Come on, quickly invite Li Wenyou to come to the discussion!" It was important to him. ”
……
The efficiency of Dong Zhuo's subordinates was very fast, and Li Ru's speed was also very fast, and he rushed to Dong Zhuo's front in a short time.
Dong Zhuo was also polite to Li Ru, and immediately informed Li Ru of what Lu Qiangshi had said when he came to come.
Li Ru stroked his little goatee, and after thinking for a while, a bright smile appeared on his face.
"Xiangguo, according to the opinion of the last official, Lu Qiang proposed to pilot the new policy of the state and county, which is a good thing."
Dong Zhuo hurriedly said: "This is agreeable? Please also elaborate on Wen You. ”
Li Rudao: "For Xiangguo, the world's corporals and Manchu ministers all hate Xiangguo in seven or eight out of ten, and it has nothing to do with the new policy, but once the new policy is implemented, the implementation of taxation can be delayed, but the imperial examination system can be implemented in the pilot states and counties first." ”
Dong Zhuo pondered: "Why is this? ”
Li Ru's expression was very respectful.
"Xiangguo needs to know that the imperial examination system is a good medicine to divide the world's top valve reading door and the ordinary Haoyou Hanmen, and as soon as this policy comes out, the world will be divided into two factions."
From now on, those who have joined the new policy can rely on local examinations at all levels until the results of the national examination are enshrined as officials, but the states and counties that have not participated in this system, from now on, no one can have the qualifications to be officials, of course, those governors and patriarchs in their local states and counties can appoint them to be officials in the local areas without substantive edicts, it is not impossible, But this is a lack of legitimacy...... At best, this can only be regarded as a conquest of the local governor. ”
Dong Zhuo's reaction was very fast, and he understood what Li Ru meant.
"Those who have not become pilot states and counties, in order to protect their rights and interests, may grit their teeth and carry it to the end with the imperial court, but ordinary Haoyou clans and poor families can't,"
"Looking at other states and counties and people with the same identity as them continue to start to become officials, but they are still resting on their laurels, there is no change, if the old man can't bear it, then the contradiction between the Haoyou Hanmen and the wang clan in the place where it is not a pilot will increase, and they will be opposed to each other, and the old man can find an appropriate time to order the reform of the tax system, so that their split situation will be more obvious, there are those who compromise for the interests of their careers, and there must be those who are unwilling to compromise, and then they themselves will be in chaos."
"Yes, if this new policy is fully implemented, all the spearheads in the early stage will inevitably be directed at Xiangguo, but if it is implemented according to the method that Lu Qiang thinks, it can make Xiangguo change from passive to active, which is really a clever law."
"Then Yiwen is preferential, let Cao Cao take office in Yangzhou, can this law be also?"
"Yes! Xiangguo can transfer Yuan Shu to Yanzhou West Shepherd, and then make Cao Cao go to Yangzhou as the assassin of the history, the position of the herdsman, and so on can not be with him, if he can really implement the new policy in Yangzhou thoroughly, and then give him the seal is not too late. ”
Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "This is right, good!" ”
……
Taking advantage of Yuan Shu's illness, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, including Yuan Shao, all made moves.
Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses swayed slowly in Jiangguan for a while, and then suddenly withdrew from the interior of Yizhou.
Yuan Shao used Sun Jian as a general, and marched into Yingchuan with lightning speed, cutting off the connection between the Central Plains and Huainan.
Left and right, Yuan Shu has been appointed as the western pastor of Yanzhou, Yangzhou has nothing to do with him, and Yuan Shao is not taking advantage of others to do this.
Are you a Yanzhou herd running a fart to Jiangnan? Did you cross the line?
And Yuan Zhong, the prime minister of Pei, who was previously used by Yuan Shu as an important person to protect his life in retreat, Yuan Shao personally wrote a letter to him.
The specific content of the letter is not known to outsiders, but it is estimated that Yuan Shao is also educating Yuan Zhong on how to behave.
And as far as the current situation is concerned, Yuan Zhong is still very obedient, not long after receiving Yuan Shao's letter, Yuan Zhong's soldiers and horses began to withdraw from the original cantonment, but turned to the direction of Shanyang County.
Cao Cao of the Central Plains led his soldiers and horses south, and when Yuan Shu was not cured, he recruited forces from all walks of life to accompany him south.
At that time, the Central Plains was already dilapidated, and Yuan Shu fell from the arrow tower in the camp and fainted some time ago, which made many people lose confidence in him.
With such a person ruling the Central Plains, what are the good results of the Central Plains County Congresses?
Now in the family in the Central Plains, discerning people have seen that the Central Plains will inevitably become a battlefield for major forces to compete in the future, and countless people and families have begun to "cross to the south".
Sooner or later, the Central Plains region will become a buffer zone that will be attacked by the people of the world.
No matter how prosperous it was, as long as there are no capable people to guard it, it will only be a matter of time before it is destroyed.
Among the people in the Central Plains, Bao Xin had the closest relationship with Cao Cao, and Cao Cao took the Black Mountain refugees he had subdued, and sent people to persuade Bao Xin to accompany him before going south.
After thinking about it carefully, Bao Xin also felt that the Central Plains did not have its own foothold, and if this place was not controlled by the male lord, I am afraid that it would always be a place of right and wrong.
So Bao Xin decided to give up his current position, led his henchmen and soldiers, and went south with Cao Cao.
The entire Central Plains was caught in a wave of migration to the south.
It stands to reason that under Yuan's normal state, Yuan Shu will definitely stop Cao Cao.
But he fell for Liu Jian's plan last time, and he has not fully recovered since he fainted.
For the time being, you will need to stay in bed to recuperate.
Therefore, the current Yuan Shujun can only stand by in place, stationed troops in Dongwuyang, and dare not act rashly.
But his retreat in the rear has been blocked by Yuan Shao.
And the passage that originally belonged to his retreat has now become Cao Cao's southward approach.
Except for Bao Xin, Cao Cao did not invite anyone again.
Cao Cao couldn't believe the others, and these people wouldn't follow Cao Cao.
The news soon spread to Hebei.
In the matter of the New Deal, Liu Jian and Dong Zhuo belong to the coalition army, Dong Zhuo has such a big move, he is bound to turn back, and many places must be cooperated by Hebei, so among the princes, Liu Jian belongs to the people who knew Xin'er earlier.
"Dong Xiangguo's courage is compelling, which really makes Liu admire."
Next to Liu Jian, sat Jia Xu.
Hearing Liu Jian say this, Jia Xu smiled.
"Dong Zhuozhi's line, the doorway here is very deep, including Cao Cao, this time he is also the winner."
"Yuan Shu may be the only one who loses."
"From now on, the lord, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, is the main force in the Han world to implement the new policy, Dong Zhuo's meaning is very clear, even if there is a life-and-death battle between the lord and Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao in the future, this new policy must not be abolished in the locality."
Liu Jian said: "I naturally understand this, everyone is competing with each other, but the rules of this new deal cannot be changed." ”
"Yes, my lord is wise."
……
At the end of the fourth year of the first peace, the world was turbulent.
But Liu Jian's mansion now has something to do.
The two beauties sent by the imperial court and Yuan Shao respectively were finally summoned by the master of the Liu Mansion.
But this host is not Liu Jian, but the hostess Zheng Ci.
Zheng Ci looked at the two beauties standing in the hall, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.
Although he is not very old, he is also beautiful, but compared with the two fairy-like beauties in front of him, there is really a lot of difference.
It's still burning, so I'll change it first, and then write more when it's ready
