Liu Jian took an extremely stern and resolute attitude in the imperial court, and tried his best to ensure that Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun became the left and right generals of the Han Dynasty.

This incident shocked all the courtiers in the court.

Previously, Liu Jian let the princes of various clans enter Beijing, and assisted Liu Xie as the emperor, and most of the scholars in the court, as well as the dignitaries of the high gate, did not accompany Wang Yun and others to oppose Liu Jian, one is because he is too strong, and the other is because they feel that the deposed emperor Liu Wei is too arbitrary, and Dong Zhuo of Xiangguo is too authoritarian.

That's why they think it's a good thing that Liu Jian can abolish Liu Wei and set up a new emperor Liu Xie, although his methods are a little too hasty, but after all, he has led more than 100 clansmen and princes into Beijing, and he shouldn't be the kind of hegemonic person.

Of course, it is not impossible to say that Liu Jian does not hold power at all, but among the princes of this world, Liu Jian has always been an example of loyalty and patriotism.

Even if it is authoritarian, it will not be as excessive as others.

It should leave some leeway and face for the other courtiers and other nobles of the Han Dynasty, and everyone is still living in balance with each other as before.

Moreover, since Liu Jian entered Beijing, although he has carried out a series of reforms to the court situation, in addition to dealing with the Xiliang army, he still maintains relatively gentle means for other court nobles.

This made the nobles of Chang'an, the nobles of Sizhou, the clans of Guanzhong, and the powerful interests in the court, as well as the local wang clans and the gate of the world's valve reading all breathed a long sigh of relief.

It seems that Liu Jian is not as terrible as they imagined, and it seems to be much gentler than Dong Zhuo.

But until now, they have found that they seem to have thought things wrong.

Liu Jian has been in Chang'an for more than half a year, and in the past six months, he has always been very gentle, and everyone has relaxed their vigilance against him.

It wasn't until the people from Hebei entered the capital one after another that Liu Jian had confidence in his heart, and this finally revealed his true means.

First of all, he set up Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun as the left and right generals, and established his prestige in the court.

And to let Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun be the generals left and right, Liu Jian has obviously been planning for a long time, which makes everyone unable to react.

Even if everyone was anxious to oppose it, but when Liu Jian threw out Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun's strategy of merging states and Youzhou, no one had anything to say, and no one could refute it, at least in principle.

The affairs of Xianbei, Wuhuan, and the Huns, everyone couldn't understand why Liu Jian was able to handle it so beautifully.

The matter that the ancestors had not solved for a hundred years was solved by Liu Jian's dynasty.

The solution of the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan greatly expanded the productivity of the Han Dynasty!

Increased the population and solved the perennial border wars.

Just this achievement, Liu Jian can take it out and talk about things all the time!

This is because it is a huge project to pacify the three tribes and accommodate the population of the three tribes, and many people are involved in it.

Liu Jian said that whoever under his command has played a huge role in this, then who has played a huge role!

Liu Jian said that no one could refute this, he asked Zhang Fei to be the left general today, then Zhang Fei is the left general, he let Zhao Yun be the right general, then Zhao Yun is the right general.

Tomorrow, Liu Jian said that Guan Yu played a major role in pacifying the three clans, and Guan Yu could also choose the official position of the imperial court.

Liu Jian said that Huang Zhong played a vital role in pacifying the war of the three clans, so Huang Zhong could walk sideways in the court.

Seeing that Liu Jian always talks about the affairs of the three clans on the border, although they will hate itchy, but on this matter, if you think about it carefully, they really have nothing to do.

Because Liu Jian really did it.

And this thing. There is no precedent in the history of the Han Dynasty.

In the history of the Han Dynasty, no one could solve the affairs of the grassland aliens so perfectly, not only to solve the border troubles, but also to make the Han Dynasty's manpower a huge supplement.

Many people are aware of the seriousness of this matter.

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty always used the merits of pacifying the three clans of the border counties to promote his descendants, and acted recklessly, isn't this to turn the original system of the Han Dynasty upside down?

After today's court meeting, Huang Wan walked towards the outside of the palace with a helpless face.

As soon as he reached the bottom of the steps outside the palace, he saw an old man in his fifties hurrying towards him from behind.

"Huang Gong, you wait! The old man has something to tell you. ”

Huang Wan turned his head suspiciously, and saw the old man panting in front of him.

After seeing the person who came, Huang Wan immediately bowed his hand respectfully to the other party: "Fifth Prince!" ”

The person who came was the current Shangshu Servant Shooting Fifth Patrol.

The fifth patrol, the word Wenxiu, a native of Jingzhao Changling, after the fifth Lun of Sikong, and the son of the fifth type of Yanzhou Thorn History. [

and the same county Jin Shang, Wei Duan are well-known, and are called "Jingzhao Sanxiu" by the people of the time.

Don't look at Huang Wan is a rare celebrity in the world, but in front of the fifth patrol, he has to be polite to a little bit, after all, the other party is a famous person in the world.

And his achievements in scripture attainments are very high.

He bowed his hand respectfully towards the Fifth Patrol and said, "Mr. Wenxiu." What do you have to advise? ”

The Fifth Patrol saluted Huang Wan respectfully, and then asked:

"Huang Gong, do you think there is something inappropriate for the prime minister today?"

Huang Wan's face showed a somewhat helpless smile, and said: "Since the prime minister is acting like this, he must have a deep meaning when he thinks about it!" I don't have to chase too much. ”

"Since the prime minister insists on making Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun the left and right generals, it must be his idea to think about it."

"Even if there is a bit of a gap, it's just a small thing after all, so you don't have to worry too much."

Huang Wan belonged to Liu Jian's side who had just taken refuge in the aristocratic camp, so he was more Buddhist in some things, after all, he also had insight into Liu Jian's methods.

The fate of Wang Yun and Yang Biao and others also made Huang Wan tremble.

He now understands that Liu Jian is not something he can fight against, and since he can't fight, it's better to be obedient.

Seeing that the Fifth Patrol was not angry, he then saw Huang Wan comforting him and said: "The prime minister has just arrived in Chang'an for half a year, and he has undertaken all the military and political affairs alone, and the things he thinks about are far deeper and farther than we think, so some things naturally cannot be done according to common sense. ”

The Fifth Tour seems to be very stubborn.

"They are also serving the country, what is the unspeakable hidden of the prime minister, why don't you ask me and wait?"

The Fifth Patrol is from a famous family, and he is a noble family, and he acts quite unreasonably on weekdays, and at this moment Huang Wan doesn't know how to talk to him about it.

Huang Wan said secretly in his heart, I said that he has something unspeakable, I am looking for a step for everyone, I can't tell you directly that he wants to be a powerful minister, right?

"Fifth Duke, the prime minister is in a high position, and what he thinks about is not what we think, and His Majesty has never said anything in the court, so the prince doesn't have to worry too much......"

"No way!" Before he finished speaking, he saw the atmosphere of the Fifth Patrol and said: "How can we prevaricate because of a sentence that is not what we think about in a major national matter? ”

"Huang Gong, then I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion together, meet the Prime Minister, and tell me about this matter in person!?"

Huang Wan secretly said in his heart: You are really stubborn...... Didn't you come to me about this, trying to kill me?

Huang Wan reluctantly said to the Fifth Patrol: "Fifth Duke, there are still important matters in my house, and this matter will be discussed later...... Leave! ”

After saying that, I saw Huang Wan hurriedly bid farewell to the fifth patrol, and hurried towards the outside of the palace.

Seeing Huang Wan leaving, the Fifth Inspector shook his head very dissatisfied: "How can you become a minister of the humerus if you are so timid?" ”

With that, he left.

But the fifth patrol didn't know that the intersection between him and Huang Wan at the gate of the palace, although it was only for a short time, was also seen by the eunuchs on duty on the side.

After the two of them left, the eunuch hurriedly reported everything to Liu Jin in the inner palace.

Liu Jin's work was extremely fast, and after learning the news, he didn't dare to slack off at all, and immediately sent someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to explain this small matter to Liu Jian.

In Liu Jin's thinking concept, no matter what happened within the confines of the palace, he had to inform Liu Jian as soon as possible.

In Liu Jin's view, this is a more important duty than taking care of the emperor.

After Liu Jin's news reached Liu Jian, Liu Jian was summoning his good brothers Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun in the mansion.

"Brother, whether this general Zuo is wrong or not, it really doesn't matter to me, I heard that my brother had a quarrel with a group of courtiers in the court today, I really feel a little sorry for my brother."

Liu Jian smiled and said: "I had a quarrel with my ministers, and what are you doing, what are you doing to me?" ”

Zhang Fei sighed loudly: "Brother, in fact, I don't necessarily have to be such a high military position, what does my brother want me to do, just command, even if I am a pawn, I can also kill the enemy for my brother and establish a meritorious career!" ”

"When did you learn to be so ingenious?"

Liu Jian said with a smile.

Afterwards, I saw Liu Jian looking at Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun back and forth, and said: "You two are now in the capital, and you are the most important generals I value, if your official position is low, how can you effectively help me take charge of the army?" ”

"Besides, I am already the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, if I am still controlled by others because of such a trivial matter, then I, the prime minister, will simply resign and go back to Zhuo County's hometown to cultivate and study!"

Zhao Yun said: "Since the prime minister has a decision in his heart, then we naturally have to put the prime minister's thoughts first!" Since the prime minister thinks that we deserve it, then we naturally deserve to be the left and right generals! ”

Liu Jian smiled and said: "In addition, after this year, waiting for the end of the tuntian and irrigation in Guanzhong and Sizhou, I want to see the grain and grass harvest in the counties of Guanzhong, if there is enough grain, I plan to send troops to Liangzhou at the beginning of spring next year, completely pacify the land west of the Han Dynasty, and then I will have to reuse the two of you!" ”

"In the past six months, you have to build up enough military prestige in Guanzhong, understand?"

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun had already guessed about the Western Expedition.

Liangzhou is uncertain, the Western Regions are not connected, the Han is uneasy, and these high-ranking and powerful people have long understood the stakes involved.

Zhang Fei arched his hand and said: "The matter of the Western Regions, I am afraid that it will not be solved overnight."

"The prime minister is in charge of the military and politics of a country, and now there are still the south and Xishu undecided, if he is deeply trapped in Xizhou, I am afraid it is not a good thing."

"From my point of view, the affairs of the Western Regions are probably more energy-consuming and time-consuming than the affairs of the Northern Grassland Tribes."

Liu Jian said: "Having said that, but with the experience of pacifying Xianbei, Wuhuan, Xiongnu, etc., as well as the national strength of Hebei, as long as Guanzhong is stable, it is not a problem for Liangzhou and the Western Regions to be completely pacified." ”

"As for the development of Liangzhou, stabilize Liangzhou, recover the Qiang people, compile household registration for the Qiang people, and trade with the Western Regions at the same time...... Either annexing the countries of the Western Regions, or carrying out economic and cultural colonization in the countries of the Western Regions, these things are not things that I can deal with over there, I am only responsible for opening up the situation in Liangzhou with you at the beginning, and the rest of the things will depend on you to do in Liangzhou. ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, he was shocked: "Brother, you want to throw us in Liangzhou and reclaim the borders of Liangzhou and the countries of the Western Regions?" ”

Liu Jian laughed: "What, scared? ”

Zhang Fei showed an excited look: "Then how can you be afraid?" This is a great achievement that will go down in history, if this is done, haha, my merit is not lower than that of Yun Chang. ”

"Yun Chang just pacified the three Koreas, but if I pacified the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, then my reputation in the history of the Han Dynasty is enough to be called the first general in the world."

Zhang Fei's statement made Liu Jian very satisfied, but he smiled and said: "At that time, the general who will be in charge of all the affairs in the Western Regions may not be anyone, and it may not be you, if Zilong does a good job, maybe I will keep Zilong over there." ”

Zhang Fei was not jealous at all, he said: "Zilong stays over there, then I will stay there and make Zilong's deputy, anyway, my brother will choose the merit." ”

Zhang Fei's words gave Liu Jian a new understanding of him, and the current Zhang Fei is really not the Zhang Yide of the past.

can not only look at the events of the imperial court from a macro perspective, but also show his fair and selfless heart.

The current Zhang Fei really makes Liu Jian feel very satisfied.

Zhao Yun said on the side: "Hey, don't say that, I can't compete with Yide, if I give Yide a deputy, it's almost the same." ”

Just when the three of them were talking and laughing, they saw the guards enter the main hall and arch their hands to Liu Jian and said, "Prime Minister, General Zhengxi was ordered to come to visit." ”

Liu Jian suddenly perked up when he heard this, and he smiled: "Okay, since he has already come, let's let him in quickly, it just so happens that there are two of his own people here who have to be introduced to him...... In fact, there is no need to introduce them, they have known each other for a long time. ”

The guard led Liu Jian's order down, and after a while, he saw Lu Bu, who had a heroic face and armor all over his body, striding into the main hall.

"The last general, Lu Bu, visited the prime minister."

Liu Jian said with a smile: "Feng is here first, come and meet these two generals of my lineage." ”

"You may have to work together in the future, let's get acquainted with each other first, you all knew each other before, right?"

There is no need to ask this at all, how could the three of them not know each other?

To be honest, when Lu Bushi saw the main hall, his eyes did not look at Liu Jian first, but at Zhang Fei beside him first.

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun are his old rivals, and for Lu Bu, these two people are rare people in the world who can compete with him.

But for Lu Bu, Zhang Fei is more eye-catching than Zhao Yun.

If you say who is the person Lu Bu wants to strangle the most in this world, Zhang Fei is definitely the first.

Lu Bu even lost his rationality the moment he saw Zhang Fei.

He had an urge to pounce on him and kill him.

Compared with Lu Bu's gloomy face, Zhang Fei's current performance is much more natural.

After Zhang Fei saw Lu Bu, he only hesitated for a moment, and then saw a smile on his big bearded face.

"Oh, isn't this General Lu? Oops, it's been a long time, it's been a long time, it's been a long time since I've seen General Lu, but it's been okay lately? ”

Zhang Fei's warm greeting made Lu Bu a little uncomfortable, logically speaking, the two of them should be bitter rivals of Mai Mang, why was Zhang Fei so calm when facing himself?

After being stunned for a moment, Lu Bu looked at Liu Jian on the side, then took a deep breath and barely showed a smile.

"General Zhang, it's been a long time...... Unexpectedly, after many years, General Zhang is still in good spirits, General Zhang has been in the Northland battlefield for many years, and he was able to appear in front of Bu, which made Bu very surprised. ”

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "General Lu is not missing an arm or a broken leg, how can I be embarrassed to be crippled before you?" ”

For a while, the atmosphere between the two was a little tense.
