Chapter 485: Merit Competition
"Debate, you're fine!"
Empress Dowager He came to see Liu Wei today, but saw that Liu Wei had gotten rid of the malaise of the previous few days, sat up from the bed, and was excited for a while.
She almost cried on the spot.
Liu Wei hurriedly saluted the Empress Dowager He: "It is the child's unfilial piety to make my mother worry these days." ”
"Nothing, nothing......"
Empress Dowager He shook her head while wiping her tears: "As long as you're okay, do you know that that day you rolled down the steps of Deyang Palace, and your mother's heart also rolled to the bottom with you, and the only person your mother can rely on now is you, Bian'er, you must not have anything to do." ”
Liu Wei said seriously: "Mother rest assured, the child will never make the mother sad in the future." ”
"And that day in the Deyang Palace, the child deliberately rolled off the high platform."
The Queen Mother was a little stunned when she heard this.
He looked Liu Wei up and down back and forth: "Why did my son deliberately roll off the high platform and mutilate himself? ”
"Mother, the day I heard so much bad news, I finally understood in my heart how difficult it is for me to be the emperor...... When the first emperor was in power, it was not easy. ”
"It's because the child is young and frivolous, too arrogant, and it is too easy to deal with these people."
"The child thinks that he is the emperor, so he is arrogant, thinking that he can exercise the power of the emperor when he becomes an adult, but it was not until a few days ago that I realized that this emperor is actually controlled by others......"
"In front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, my face has been damaged so much, if I don't save my body three times, I'm afraid that sooner or later my life will be in danger!"
"From now on, I should hide my head, keep a low profile, follow the example of the first emperor, and only wait for a certain amount of strength in my hands before making imperial plans."
When Liu Wei said this, his eyes were a little red, his fists were clenched tightly, and it was obvious that this incident had dealt him a huge blow.
Sixteen-year-old Liu Wei is young and frivolous, children of this age generally have a kind of rebelliousness, and most of them have the characteristics of ambition and talent, and they can only grow up after experiencing the tempering of human beings.
Emperors are also human beings, and naturally they also have human characteristics.
A teenager who has just participated in human social activities, after experiencing a huge blow, will understand where he is in this food chain.
Empress Dowager He wiped her tears and said, "My son, it was my mother who didn't teach you well...... In fact, as an emperor, how you behave in the court and how to be an emperor is what the first emperor should teach you...... But that father of yours...... Alas! ”
Empress Dowager He didn't say anything, but Liu Wei also knew what her mother was going to say.
Liu Hong was not very concerned about Liu Wei's education later, and the imperial techniques he had learned through years of ruling were not handed over to this son...... Perhaps in Liu Hong's heart, he never really wanted to pass on the throne to Liu Wei.
Of course, perhaps Liu Hong didn't expect that he would die so early.
But there is no point in thinking about that now.
The decline of power faced by himself, the emperor, was something that his father had never faced in his life.
After this incident, Liu Wei knew that if he didn't make changes, he might not be able to keep his throne.
"Mother, this is an edict I just drafted, please take a look at it."
Empress Dowager He wiped her reddened eyes, and then took the draft edict handed by Liu Wei.
Just watched the beginning, and the Empress Dowager He was a little nervous.
"Bian'er, how do you agree to appoint that Liu Jian as the general of Fuyuan?"
"That Liu Deran is in charge of Hebei, and now he is already a master of high merit, among all the people in the world, nine out of ten people praise Liu Deran's achievements, and now the people of Hebei only know Liu Jian and do not know the emperor, if you let him be the general of Fuyuan, in the future, he has made greater achievements in the north, what reward should you give him? Do you want to take out your throne? ”
Liu Wei was silent.
He also seems to be struggling painfully because of this.
But in the end, Liu Wei still figured it out.
"Mother, I am afraid that the position of General Fuyuan must be given to him, otherwise, I may become a faint king and be spurned by all the people in the world."
Empress Dowager He was surprised: "Is it so serious? ”
Liu Wei stood up helplessly, took out some joint slips on the table, and handed them to the Empress Dowager He.
"What is this?"
"Mother opened it and looked at it, and she knew the clue."
Empress Dowager He opened a few volumes of concise reading, and after a glance, her pretty face turned white.
"Okay, okay, not only Xun Shuang's group of clear streams also want to recommend Liu Jian, Liu Biao's old puppet actually betrayed my trust and recommended Liu Jian."
"There are still princes and kings!!"
"These people...... These people are really in vain! They have forgotten the grace of the Emperor to them. ”
Liu Wei sighed: "These princes and kings, they actually want to promote Liu Deran as the general of Fuyuan, their attitude can almost represent the attitude of the entire Han clan, can I abandon the world clan?" ”
"Your father was too indulgent of Liu Jian at the beginning! He let Liu Jian do so many things, won the hearts of the people of the world, and even the princes and kings were oriented towards him, but now it is good, as long as it is about Liu Jian, the court does not agree, it is like going against the people of the world. ”
Liu Wei sighed: "The mother is unwilling in her heart, how can the child be willing in her heart? ”
"It's just that now Liu Deran hasn't come forward at all, and people don't ask for the position of General Yuanda at all."
"The person who spoke for Liu Deran is Dong Zhuo, a student, and a prince of the clan."
"Scholars, military generals, Han clan relatives...... How can I overcome these people? ”
"And the Yellow Turban Army has already started an incident, and in the name of establishing King Chen Liu, King Chen Liuwang is now in Liu Deran's hands."
"With this matter alone, how can I not have any scruples about him, and how can I not make him the general of Fuyuan?"
The Queen Mother's face was a little distorted: "Do you just watch him threaten the king like this?" ”
Liu Weichang sighed: "Mother, I've been thinking about it in bed for the past few days...... How did Liu Deran threaten the king? ”
"He, he ......"
When Empress Dowager He said this, she didn't know how to answer for a while.
yes, what did Liu Jian do? How did he threaten the king?
It was Dong Zhuo who advised Liu Jian to be the general of Fuyuan...... And Liu Jian had just fought a big battle with Dong Zhuo before this incident, so it can be said that they are mortal enemies.
The sworn enemies all recommended Liu Deran as the general of Fuyuan...... For the prestige of the imperial court, Liu Deran also pleaded guilty to the people on the street.
No matter how you look at this matter now, the court ignored it and deliberately bullied Liu Jian, and Liu Jian still had to work hard to maintain the court......
All the people in the world are complaining about Liu Jian.
"Got it, Mother...... I can't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to be the emperor. ”
"Liu Deran is different from Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, he is really doing things for the people in the local area, and he has really done a lot of political achievements and meritorious deeds for the Han Dynasty...... If I move him, it will be against benevolence and righteousness, and the current Liu Jian itself represents the word benevolence and righteousness! ”
The Queen Mother panicked when she heard this.
"Child, as you say, if one day, people in the world want to support Liu Deran to replace you, what should I do?"
Liu argued: "So, mother, I have to be patient, I have to give Liu Deran's Fuyuan General to him, I have to find a way to expand my own power, I can't provoke Liu Deran at this time, provoking Liu Deran is no different from provoking the world." ”
"I have to quickly appease the emotions of all the people in the world, and then send people to pacify Xiliang and open up the Western Regions, I want to fight for fame and establish meritorious deeds, and I can't let Liu Deran's family dominate anymore."
"I understand now that suppression is not the way, I must make a meritorious deed to cover Liu Deran."
"That's the only way I can keep the throne."
"The more I do, the more I will be a good emperor, even if I am not as good as Liu Deran, my throne will be kept, and an emperor without virtue may be replaced by a virtuous person."
"However, no matter how virtuous a person is, he cannot replace a virtuous emperor."
"Only by being virtuous can I make the Han family prosperous and make power not transferable."
Empress Dowager He looked at Liu Wei in surprise.
Liu Hong has never had such an idea as Liu Wei, at least, Empress Dowager He has never heard Liu Hong say this.
"Son, who taught you all this?"
"It was handed over to me by Liu Deran."
"When did he teach you this?"
Liu Wei sighed: "He never preached, but he taught by example. ”
"It wasn't until today that I discovered that what Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao and others did was really different from Liu Deran."
"I can't follow the path of the first emperor's business calculations and struggle for power with the courtiers."
"That's just a subordinate trip, not an imperial technique."
"I can only learn to follow Liu Deran and follow the path that Liu Deran walked, which is the way of the king."
……
……
After today, Liu Wei convened a court meeting again, dragged the "sick body" to discuss with the courtiers, followed Dong Zhuo's opinion, and appointed Liu Deran as the general of Fuyuan.
Liu Jian can set up his own official positions according to the situation of the ethnic groups outside the Northland, so as to facilitate overall planning.
Liu Wei actually gave up the bottom line and wanted Liu Jian to be the general of Fuyuan and have the authority to set up his own officials in Hebei, which surprised the group led by Yang Biao.
Yang Biao, Wang Yun and others played one after another, asking Liu Wei to take back his fate and not to let go of power easily.
But Liu Wei was surprisingly able to resist the pressure.
Almost at the speed of crossing the ladder, he urged Dong Zhuo's prime minister to complete the process of Zhu Cao.
Liu Wei seems to not want the public opinion brought about by this incident to ferment again.
He wanted to go through this article as soon as possible, and then calm down and go to discuss with Dong Zhuo about the establishment of meritorious deeds in the Western Regions and Liangzhou.
……
……
The appointment of the imperial court was issued at a very fast speed, and Liu Jian of Luoyang received the gift of the imperial court, and from now on, he was the general of Fuyuan, and he could justifiably establish an official position.
His shogunate political-military system could be set to work.
Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and other fierce generals were also happy for Liu Jian and congratulated him one after another.
However, Liu Jian's goal was achieved, but his interest was not too high.
For he could see that after this incident, the emperor seemed to have become wiser.
is worthy of Liu Hong's son, after experiencing a setback, he can quickly change his arrogant attitude and embark on a correct path again.
If Liu Wei does not deviate in this process, the imperial court may really be able to make some achievements in the governance of the northwest in the future.
Liu Jian had a feeling.
Liu Wei may start to sincerely unite with Dong Zhuo and fight an equipment competition with himself.
This equipment race is not limited to military and merit.
Including people's livelihood, foreign affairs, commerce and trade are all possible.
Liu Wei wanted to learn his own methods to maintain his dominance.
Of course, if Liu Wei can have this ambition, Liu Jian doesn't care.
After all, for this empire, if Liu Wei really had such an idea, then the people of Guanzhong west of Hangu Pass would really be blessed.
I just hope he doesn't draw a tiger and becomes an anti-dog.
It seems that in this regard, Liu Wei and Cao Cao belong to the same kind of people. (Refers to learning from Liu Jian's follow-up)
They are the kind of people who can learn lessons in time, correct their own faults, and have the cheekiness to learn from their opponents.
On the other hand, Yuan Shao, because of his background, is a little too arrogant.
He did not allow himself to learn Liu Jian.
His face and the dignity of the Yuan family did not allow him to do this.
However, since the imperial court wants to have a competition with him for righteousness and morality, Liu Jian naturally does not refuse to come.
I don't believe it, I've been playing with the tricks for so many years, and you can learn it all at once.
There are many true essences that people of your time cannot sum up.
After the New Year, Liu Jian organized a large army to go to Hedong County.
At this time, not only did the Baibo army rebel in Hedong County, but Luan Tiyufu of the Southern Xiongnu also saw the signs of profit, so he also led his elite soldiers to stir up chaos.
Liu Jian had just been appointed as the general of Fuyuan, and he had the power to dispose of the foreign tribes, and the Southern Xiongnu came to do something.
Isn't this hitting the muzzle of General Fuyuan's gun?
Do they think that General Fuyuan is just a name, a vegetarian, and can't do real things?
It is precisely through this incident that the alien races in the world know where the Fuyuan general Liu Deran is on this planet.
And what position they themselves are.
Liu Jian asked Wang Ai to go back to Wang Yi first, while Xu Huang stayed in Liu Jian's army as a guide.
Liu Jian prepared troops and horses in Luoyang, with Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun as the vanguard of the front, and his army of 50,000 marched towards Hedong.
"Baibo thieves, disaster to the country and the people, dare to raise thieves and invade the state and county, scourge Li Shu, do they think that without the true presence of Huangfu Yi, no one in this world will build a Beijing view again?"
"Mr. Yuan Hao helped me make an essay and spread it all over the world."
Tian Feng immediately received the order.
He knew that this was Liu Jian's first battle after becoming a general of Fuyuan.
Liu Jian must take advantage of this battle to establish authority, morality, benevolence, and action.
So this text must be done, although the other party is just a group of yellow turban thieves who don't understand anything.
"In addition, let Zhang Yang from Bingzhou requisition grain and grass for me to send to the front line as support."
Liu Jian's subordinates didn't understand Liu Jian's intention for a while.
Zhang Yang, a person who belongs to the Yuan family, besides, although Liu Jian went through several major battles last year, he was responsible for the trial and distribution of the rear, and did not let Liu Jian lack food, although the Northern Xinjiang clan was hit by a heavy snowstorm last year, but Xun Yu handled it properly and reduced Hebei's expropriation of foreign forces in a timely manner, so it did not cause a war.
Hebei had a big harvest last year, with abundant grain and grass, and with the funding of the Hebei Commerce and Trade Association, Liu Jian was not short of grain at all.
Even if he is short of food, he can requisition the local treasury in Sizhou.
But why did he want to requisition food from Zhang Yang?
Others don't understand, but people like Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Fu Zhu, Tian Feng understand it very well in their hearts.
A person like Zhang Yang would 100 percent not provide Liu Jian with grain and grass.
Liu Jian didn't want him to provide grain and grass either.
After becoming General Fuyuan, Bingzhou was also Liu Jian's goal, and those forces in Bingzhou were not a big deal for Liu Jian.
One Zhang Yang, one Luan Ti Yufuluo, plus the Bai Bo army in the vicinity of Bingzhou.
For these small chops, Liu Jian didn't want to spend too much time, so he picked up the grass and beat the rabbits, so he just served them in a pot.
