Chapter 146: Master Father Yan 2
[Vol. 1] Verse 146: Father of the Lord 2
------------
The father of the master in his forties is so mixed up that even his parents and brothers hate him. He really doesn't have the face to stay in his hometown, as the saying goes, trees die, people live, it's better to die than to live.
The impoverished master father Yan decided to leave his hometown again, and his destination this time became Chang'an, it should be said that the master father Yan made a very correct decision, Chang'an is the foot of the Son of Heaven, the fish and dragons are mixed, all parties are sacred, it is still possible for people like the master father Yan to find a buyer who knows the goods, and besides, Chang'an is a developed commercial city, even if you can't find Bole, even if you set up a stall to write and do a little business, you can also eat a mouthful, and you will not be angry in Qi country.
In the first year of Yuanguang (134 years ago), the master father went to Chang'an and tried his best to meet Wei Qing, who was not a famous figure at this time, but because of the identity of the uncle of the country, he was naturally a hot figure in Chang'an.
Master Father Yan's luck is really good, his bumpy experience has won Wei Qing's sympathy, and after a few conversations, Wei Qing is sure that Master Father Yan is a character with goods in his stomach.
Wei Qing took in Master Father Yan and was ready to wait for the right time to recommend him to Liu Che.
With Wei Qing's appreciation and commitment, the master father Yan seems to see the golden road to the people, isn't this the dream he has been striving for for many years, if he soars one day, he must let those who once looked down on him return the color.
It was under such expectations that the master father had sweet dreams all day long, although the dreams were beautiful, but the cruel reality was like a basin of cold water poured on his head.
Wei Qing recommended Master Father Yan to Liu Che several times, but the result was that there was no result.
Such a result did make the master father depressed, but it was better to be able to enjoy the shade under the big tree of Wei Qing than to go back to his hometown and suffer the eyes of others.
The master father Yan continued to stay in the Weiqing Mansion, waiting for the opportunity that belonged to him.
As always, the master father made almost no friends, and he was often blind, he spoke bluntly and harshly, was good at sophistry, and often spoke of people with red faces, but he could not convince people with reason.
But fortunately, Wei Qing has no bad impression of him, so he can have a full mouth, otherwise, the main father, Mr. Yan, will definitely have to roll up and leave again.
In the first year of Yuan Shuo (128 BC), the sixth year of the master's father in Wei Qing's mansion, Wei Qing at this time had become a well-known commander of Wei.
Commander Wei became a famous general, and his words had weight, but after becoming famous, Commander Wei did not bring a complete change to the situation of the master father.
Of course, this is no wonder Commander Wei, after all, Commander Wei has just won a battle and has already received a lot of rewards from the emperor. Besides, Commander Wei is a military general, and what his master father Yan is not good at is fighting with soldiers, so that he can move his mouth and pen with ease, and let him carry his head to the front line, which is not happy for a hundred people.
Seeing that Commander Wei couldn't give himself a chance to realize his dreams, the master father finally couldn't hold it back, and spent a few days writing hard to achieve a piece that hit the nail on the head.
Facts have proved that the level of the master's father's article is indeed good, and it just fell into Liu Che's heart, especially the admonition to the Huns in the nine things mentioned in the article, for Liu Che, it is the icing on the cake, which can be used to seal the mouth of an anti-war minister.
In other words, the article of the master father Yan made Liu Che see his value.
All along, Liu Che had the feeling that he could not fully control the court, he pondered for a long time, and finally came to the reason why the prime minister's power was too strong, the prime minister must endure the affairs of the court, and the court seemed to be not revolving around him, but revolving around the prime minister.
This is completely unbearable for Liu Che, but what should you do, the prime minister has been a position since ancient times, it can be said that since there is a son of heaven, there is a prime minister, you can't abolish the prime minister, do it yourself, do all the work yourself, this is not very realistic. If you don't abolish it, you can't do it, and if you abolish it, it's a big problem for the emperor. The cruel emperor will solve this problem by changing people often as prime ministers, while the kinder emperor can only endure it slowly.
Liu Che is naturally not a kind person, not only does he often change the prime minister, but he also comes up with a strange trick to dismantle the prime minister's power.
He founded the Inner Dynasty, the so-called Inner Dynasty, naturally relative to the official system of the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries of the Outer Dynasty, compared with the Outer Dynasty, the officials of the Inner Dynasty did not have a fixed position, they can be said to be the advisers of the Son of Heaven, or they can be said to be the guests of the Son of Heaven, their positions are not high, but they can discuss national affairs, and they can also give advice.
The highest position of the official in the inner court is the Great Sima, and the rest can be Lang officials, confessors, doctors, servants, regular attendants, and so on. Don't look at some of them as inconspicuous, they have become Liu Che's most relied on think tank, and before they know it, the prime minister and his gang have become robots who only need to follow their will.
We can indeed see that this situation developed to the later stage, the prime minister began to become a flatterer and ornament, the prime minister's power is weakening, but the danger factor is rising, and then everyone talks about the prime minister's change, some officials heard that Liu Che was going to appoint themselves as prime minister, frightened and panicked, kneeling and crying to plead with Liu Che, even if he kowtowed a hundred times, Liu Che would take back his life - please don't let me be the prime minister, I can't afford it.
Liu Che can turn a position under one person and above 10,000 people into a hot potato since ancient times, which can be regarded as an innovative move.
The master's father Yan can be said to have hit a big luck, he found the right buyer at the right time, Liu Che didn't take them to heart before, because Liu Che's eyes were mainly on the international community, and now that there is an excellent general like Wei Qing, he can naturally put more attention on controlling the ministers.
So at this moment, a resourceful person like the master father Yan, he will take as much as he wants.
Liu Che eagerly issued an edict to meet the strategists who wrote the book, in addition to the master father, Yan An, who also wrote the book, Xu Le also got the due courtesy.
Yan An is biased towards literature and has a good relationship with Sima Xiangru, a talented man of the Han Dynasty, while Xu Le only knows that after he coined the term "collapse", there is nothing to test in his life.
Among the three, the master father Yan was the most appreciated, and he was even promoted four times a year, successively serving as Lang Zhong, the confessor, Zhong Lang, and Zhong Dafu, and soon became a celebrity in front of Liu Che.
The favor of the master father Yan is not only able to speak, Liu Che has seen countless people who can speak the truth, if the master father Yan can only play tricks, he will definitely be abandoned by Liu Che, and the previous Dong Yan is a lesson from the past.
Soon after becoming Langzhong, the master's father Yan offered Liu Che a strategy that made Liu Che's heart flutter, and this strategy solved the problem that Liu Che's ancestors had been troubled by for generations, and his father even almost fell on this problem.
But with the master's father's clever plan, the problem was completely resolved in Liu Che's hands.
The master's father's clever plan is the world's famous Tui En Order.
The Tui En Decree is actually very simple, he only slightly changed the system of dividing the feud, that is, when the vassal lord divides the sons, all the sons should get the feuds, and not only the heirs get the feuds.
Such a simple method, with a little care, may be able to come up with many people, but it made the master father think of it, and with his wonderful pen, Tui En Ling has a very reasonable reason. It can solve the problem of the princes' tails, and it can win the support of most people, and I am grateful for Liu Che's kindness, which is really a double win! It's wonderful!
With such a mind, it is difficult to think of being pampered.
Sure enough, as soon as this order came out, all the heirs of the non-vassal states were overjoyed, in the past, only the prince of the kingdom, the prince of the Hou Kingdom had the right to inherit, and now everyone has the right to inherit, can such a good thing not be supported?
Liu Che's heart was solved by a simple edict, just as the master father Yan Zai Shu expressed, the Tui En Decree can turn a big country into a small country, a small country, and can also clean up people's hearts, and finally resolve the dream of the princes and kings to rebel and ascend to the sky.
The master's father Yan became a hot figure in Chang'an City because of the Tui En Ling, he served as a middle doctor, and there were already many guests in front of the house, many of whom came with heavy money. The master father was poor before the age of forty, but it can be said that he did not refuse to come, as long as it was valuable, he would accept everything and everything.
In the second year of Yuan Shuo (127 years ago), when the commander of the guard regained the land of the Hetao, the master father Yan proposed the establishment of Shuofang County, which was particularly dazzling among the many ministers who advised to abandon the wild land of the Hetao, however, the motion of the master father Yan once again moved Liu Che, and Liu Che once again adopted the advice of the master father Yan, and this time, Liu Che once again realized the level of the master father Yan.
In the summer of the same year, the master father Yan made another policy, which explained that the emperor could move the world's heroes and restless people to Maoling, first, to facilitate control, and second, to reduce instability.
This suggestion was still endorsed by Liu Che. Just do it, Liu Che officially ordered that each county verify the list of heroes and rebels, and move to Maoling on a later date.
In this list, there is a name, which is very special, the hero Guo Jie. This person is a person from the rivers and lakes, and he has little to do with the master's father, but in view of the fact that Guo Daxia and the master's father died in the mouth of the same person, let's get to know him.
