Hu Zhen belongs to the kind of person who is extremely guilty of crimes, and he is a character who must be dealt with carefully.

Therefore, Xu Huang personally escorted Hu Zhen back to Chang'an City.

As for the garrison on Chen Cang's side, Xu Huang handed it over to the school captain Zhao Rui and asked him to be responsible for guarding Chen Cang.

The remaining Xiliang soldiers, with Zhao Rui's ability, were enough to deal with them and prevent them from escaping back to Liangzhou.

Xu Huang himself rushed back to Chang'an in the starry night and escorted Hu Zhen to Liu Jian.

After seeing Hu Zhen, Liu Jian didn't even bother to say anything to him, and directly ordered: "Send this person to Mrs. Dong, and the master will deal with it personally." ”

Then, Liu Jian looked at Xu Huang and said, "Gongming, you did a good job this time and made a great contribution!" Come to think of it, it's time for you to be in the position of general, I worship you as a lieutenant general, and turn back to Chang'an to wait for the call. ”

When Xu Huang heard this, he was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you for the Prime Minister's cultivation, Huang can follow the Prime Minister's side, which is really a great blessing in his life." ”

Then Xu Huang stayed in Chang'an.

A few days later, Liu Zhong, the king of Ganling, and Liu Yu, the pastor of Qingzhou, came to ask Liu Jian for his resignation.

During this period of time, the situation of the imperial court has been stabilized, and the princes and kings of all walks of life have begun to return to their respective fiefdoms one after another.

Only Liu Yu and Liu Zhong insisted on helping Liu Jian take care of clan affairs in Chang'an.

Now that the situation of Hu Zhensheng's capture of Chang'an has been decided, there will be no problems in the short term.

The two of them felt that it was superfluous for them to continue to stay here, so they came to ask Liu Jian for his resignation.

For Liu Zhong, the king of Ganling, Liu Jian expressed his gratitude to him, and also gave Liu Zhong a lot of gifts, hoping that after Liu Zhong returned to the fiefdom, he could continue to practice benevolence and righteousness in the local area, promote the policies of the imperial court, and set an example for the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty in the local area.

As for Liu Yu, Liu Jian didn't plan to let him return to Qingzhou.

"In Chang'an, from beginning to end, the person I trust the most is Brother Bo'an, I hope Brother Bo'an can keep me in Chang'an and run the government with me."

When Liu Yu heard Liu Jian say this, he hesitated.

To be honest, he didn't want to stay in Chang'an a bit.

"Oh, no! Prime Minister...... In fact, the prime minister was able to let Liu stay in Chang'an, and it was a real honor in his heart, but the bookstore in Qingzhou, the sea salt industry, and the shipbuilding industry are all in the time of revitalization and development...... I think, why don't you let me go back to Qingzhou first, straighten out these things, sort them out for a few years, and then come to Chang'an to assist the prime minister? ”

Liu Jian laughed when he heard this.

"Brother, are you a little afraid of me?"

When Liu Yu heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand: "How can I be afraid of the prime minister, what is the prime minister saying?" ”

Liu Jianchang sighed and said, "We are all relatives of the Han family, and we have known each other for so many years, but I know the concerns in my brother's heart. ”

"I am now in a high position as prime minister, and I am the leader of the clan, which can be said to be under one person, above ten thousand people, and the military and government of a country, all in my hands."

"People outside say that I am the minister of the Han Dynasty, but in other words, I am a powerful minister."

"Powerful ministers are suspicious, and they have been like this since ancient times."

"After all, as a powerful minister, you must always guard against the plots and conspiracies of others, and what you are most afraid of is the loss of your rights."

"If other courtiers lose their power, they may be able to get a good end, but once the authority of the ministers is lost, it will be the end of death without a place to bury, and even disaster will affect the three clans."

When Liu Yu heard this, he shut up and didn't say a word.

Liu Jian knows him very well.

Liu Yu's silence represents his recognition of Liu Jian's words.

Liu Jian continued: "As a powerful minister, after a long time, this suspicion is inevitable, and who will be the suspicious person? ”

"I think it's those heroes under him, and there are also heroes who can surpass themselves in prestige, or hope to replace themselves."

"Among the Han clan relatives who are still alive today, when it comes to bloodline and prestige, Brother Bo'an should be the first person, maybe Brother Bo'an is afraid that if I stay in the court for a long time, I may become a thorn in my eye, a thorn in my flesh, even if we are brothers of the same clan, I will not let you go, right?"

"You are afraid of the death of the cunning rabbit, the lackeys will cook, the birds will be exhausted, and the good bow will be hidden!"

After listening to Liu Jian's words, Liu Yu was really helpless.

He smiled bitterly and said: "Prime Minister, the officials in this Han Dynasty will not explain things so clearly, how can you talk to me so thoroughly, there is no room for maneuver between us?" ”

Liu Jian leaned forward and said, "Why should I give you room to maneuver?" Brother Bo'an, I think I am by no means an ordinary person, since I want you to enter the center, then you must enter Chang'an, and I don't think I can fly birds and hide the bow, then I will definitely not do this unrighteous thing. ”

"Brother Bo'an, I will tell you thoroughly today to dispel the doubts in your heart!"

When Liu Yu heard this, he sighed and said, "The prime minister is really a frank person, compared with Cheng, Liu is really a little dirty." ”

Liu Jian shook his head and said, "It's not that you have dirty thoughts, but that the original officialdom of the Han Dynasty is like this." ”

"But, Brother Bo'an, have you forgotten the Han world I talked to you about when we opened a bookstore in Qingzhou?"

"The ambition in my heart, I think you should know, what the Han world is like that I want, you should also know it."

"Do you think that I will forget my original intention because of my growing power and official position over the years?"

"Could it be that because Liu became this prime minister, he became a worm like the Yuan family, the Yang family and other people who plagued the court before?"

When Liu Yu heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Prime Minister, it's someone Liu who is narrow-minded, I'm a little too careful, as you said, I forgot the Prime Minister's original ambition, I forgot the layout I made in Qingzhou for the future of the Han Dynasty."

"I forgot even more, the prime minister is far from an ordinary person."

Liu Jian stood up and walked to Liu Yu's side, he stretched out his hand to hold Liu Yu's hand, shook it heavily, and said:

"Brother Bo'an, if I really had such a big concern for you, I wouldn't have insisted that you have been in charge of this Qingzhou pastor, I have Liu Xuande, Guan Yunchang, Zhang Yide, Zhao Zilong, Xun Wenruo, Guo Fengfengxiao, Jia Wen and so many descendants."

"Even if they don't govern Qingzhou as well as yours, who of them can't take care of the foundation of Qingzhou for me?"

"If I am really the kind of despicable villain who only cares about power in your imagination, then how can I let you enter Chang'an as a representative of the clan and celebrities this time?"

"Brother Bo'an, I hope you can eliminate that worry in your heart!"

"I have always been me, the one who talked about the world with you in Qingzhou at the beginning, and Liu Jian who talked about the future of my Liu family!"

These words can be regarded as speaking to Liu Yu's heart.

"What the prime minister said is very true, this matter is indeed Liu's fault."

"The prime minister can rest assured, the minister is willing to stay in the capital and be responsible for the prime minister's handling of the court."

"I just don't know what position the prime minister wants me to take?"

Liu Jian said: "I hope that Brother Bo'an can take up the position of Guangluxun. ”

Liu Yu nodded suddenly.

The so-called Guangluxun is mainly responsible for the internal affairs of the commander-in-chief, and the subordinate officials include doctors, lang, etc.

This position has a wide range of responsibilities.

It is mainly in charge of the palace portal, the guard and the emperor.

Moreover, in the Han Dynasty, Lang officials were now regarded as an important way to select talents, and Guang Luxun had important management responsibilities for the selected officials.

Although the implementation of the new policy in the court has replaced the inspection system with the imperial examination system, the rule that those who enter Beijing as Lang in the imperial examination has not been changed for the time being.

Therefore, after the imperial examination, after entering Beijing as a lang, all of them must obey the jurisdiction of Guangluxun.

In addition, including the five official Zhonglang generals, the left and right Zhonglang generals, including these Zhonglang generals set up by Liu Jian in Beijing now, according to the name, they are all directly managed by Guangluxun.

As one of the nine Qings, Guangluxun has a great responsibility.

This position, Liu Jian could not easily be handed over to someone he did not trust.

And with the importance of this position, and the people who can stand on their own in this position, Liu Yu is the best.

Only by letting Liu Yu hold this position can Liu Jian rest assured.

After deciding on Liu Yu's position, Liu Jian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

……

Soon after, the craftsmen from Hebei arrived in Guanzhong one after another, and these people were all outstanding technicians in the workshops directly under the Hebei government, who would assist the local government departments and local workshops in Guanzhong, and build waterwheels, keels, and waterwheels in a large area of the Wei River and the Yellow River basin in Guanzhong, so as to help Guanzhong realize the large-scale irrigation plan, and make the greatest efforts to restore production and increase grain production.

Compared with Hebei, the Guanzhong Plain is more suitable for farming, as long as the irrigation is done well, the tuntian is done well, and the rice seeds are given in time, Guanzhong will inevitably become the granary of the world.

Using the technology that has now been formed in Hebei to come to Guanzhong, you can stabilize the local people's livelihood in the shortest possible time.

Once the farming and water conservancy industries in Guanzhong tend to stabilize, Liu Jian's next step will be to reach out to the Central Plains, which is too dilapidated, but it is the foundation of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, and it must not be lost, and it cannot be abandoned because he is the center of the world and has suffered the most war.

On the contrary, the agricultural foundation of the Central Plains is very thick, and as long as the experience of Hebei is copied, the entire Han Dynasty will definitely benefit greatly.

There is no need for in-depth excavation in other industries for the time being, because Liu Jian knows that he has to go step by step, and he has to eat his food in one bite.

Only by solving the biggest fundamental problem of grain farming and allowing everyone to have food can we talk about the development of other industries.

With food, the people will have the spirit to do other things, and all industries and economies will naturally get on the right track and flourish.

The people live on food! That's it.

……

Taifu Mansion.

Hu Zhen knelt in the middle of the hall, staring at the ground with a gray face, and on the bed above, Dong Zhuo, who had a big waist and a round waist, was sitting.

And the two people on the left and the right around Dong Zhuo are Dong Min and Dong Huang.

"Brother, what is the prime minister's intention to hand over this fang to his brother?"

Dong Zhuo stared at Hu Zhen kneeling below, while brushing his big beard, and did not speak.

"Kill him!"

But I heard Dong Huang suddenly say something.

"This thief rebels against the court, and his crime is not punishable! The prime minister handed him over to his uncle to send it down, making it clear that he wanted to test us, we are now in the capital, and we can't offend the prime minister because of this thief! ”

"If you want to protect him and offend the prime minister and cure our Dong family's crimes, then the gains outweigh the losses!"

When Hu Zhen heard this, he was shocked.

He hurriedly raised his head, looked at Dong Zhuo at the top, and shouted: "Xiangguo, save me, Xiangguo, save me!" I didn't intend to betray Xiangguo, but I couldn't get used to Liu Jian's monopoly on the government, so I rebelled! I regret not doing it at the beginning, Xiangguo sees that the two of us have known each other for many years, and I see that I have worked hard for Xiangguo all these years, Xiangguo saved my life! ”

Dong Huang couldn't help but be furious.

He stepped forward and kicked Hu Zhen over directly.

"Are you embarrassed to say that we have been friends for many years? When my uncle was in Chang'an City, but you led troops to attack Chang'an without authorization, if the prime minister killed my uncle, wouldn't he die in vain? You're embarrassed to ask my uncle to spare your dog's life here, it's a dream! ”

"I'm just confused, confused."

"That's it!"

But when Dong Zhuo suddenly spoke, Dong Huang and Hu Zhen shut up.

Then I saw him support his body with all his strength and slowly came to Hu Zhen.

"Don't call Xiangguo, call Taifu."

"Taifu!"

"The old man can go to the court and plead for you in front of the prime minister, but if you don't ask for it, it's not the old man who has the final say."

When Hu Zhen heard this, he was grateful and kowtowed.

"Thank you, thank you."

Dong Zhuo waved his hand, and let people suppress Hu Zhen.

After Hu Zhen was pressed down, Dong Huang hurriedly said: "Uncle, this thief was rebellious and almost killed his uncle, does my uncle really want to intercede for him?" ”

Dong Zhuo said: "That's right. ”

"Why?"

Dong Zhuo said: "In your opinion, what does Liu Jian mean by sending this person to the old man?" ”

Dong Huang said: "Naturally, I want to hand him over to my uncle to dispose of, so that my uncle can take revenge!" ”

"Joke, there are naturally regulations in the court, Liu Jian handed him over to me to dispose of, what does this mean? Wouldn't it be against the process of dealing with traitors in the imperial court? ”

"If Liu Jian really wants to deal with Hu Zhen and show favor to the old man, then kill him directly, and then notify the old man."

"Can the old man still not accept his affection?"

"And what does that mean?"

"This is because Liu Deran didn't want to kill him, but he couldn't find a suitable reason, so he deliberately threw it in front of the old man and handed over this matter to the old man."

Dong Huang and Dong Min were both shocked.

"Hu Zhen is so hateful, why didn't Prime Minister Liu kill him?"

Dong Zhuo said: "You are not in his position, and you are not in his position. ”

"Hu Zhen is hateful, but for Liu Deran, it is a matter of time to kill him."

"And Hu Zhen still has a relatively prestigious and famous reputation in Liangzhou."

"He committed such a big thing this time, Liu Jian spared his life, just to shake the determination of the Xiliang rebels."

"Liu Jian wants to let those Xiliang rebels know through Hu Zhen that he led the army westward the next day, as long as they don't resist stubbornly, Liu Jian can give them a way to live."

Dong Min muttered, "Ma Teng, Han Sui...... These people? ”

"Yes! These people are now entrenched in the west of Chang'an, and they are a big problem for Liu Jian, and it is impossible for Liu Jian not to have a plan for them. ”

"It's a matter of time before you deal with them!"
