Chapter 421: Seeking Common Ground While Reserving Differences (2)

This night, no one knows what Liu Bei and Yang Biao talked about. The two parties never left a word before their deaths. However, later generations of historians regarded this meeting as an important turning point in the development of Qingzhou Group. Because not long after Liu Bei and Yang Biao talked, Liu Bei went to the table of the Son of Heaven, saying that Yang Biao's name was high and virtuous, and his ambition was innocent. Please worship him as a prince.

The Son of Heaven is indispensable. Then worship Yang Biao as the master. Since Yang Biao was the Taifu, the position of Tai Lieutenant was vacant, and then Yang Biao went to the table, invited the Son of Heaven, and asked Zhou Zhong to be the Tai Lieutenant. The Son of Heaven also approves it.

So, next, a series of changes dazzled the courtiers. Zhou Zhong was the captain, and Zhang Xi was transferred to Situ. Yang Biao played Youzhou Assassin Shi Lu Zhi again, he has always been loyal to the country, and he has meritorious service in guarding Liaodong, so please worship Lu Zhi as the commonplace; Liu Bei also expressed the Yellow Gate Squire Zhong Xuan as the assassin of Youzhou......

The Son of Heaven promised them one by one. By this time, everyone suddenly realized that Yang Biao was planning to join Liu Bei. When Lu Zhi heard this, he sent a letter to Liu Bei, and he said: "I have a relationship with you, how can I live together in the position of the third duke?" So the above table asked to resign from the position of Sikong, the court was repeatedly sealed, Lu Zhi resigned, and finally saw that Lu Zhi insisted on refusing to accept it, so he worshipped Sun Rui as Sikong and ordered Lu Zhi to be the captain.

Yang Biao accepted the position of Taifu, so he played the Son of Heaven and said: "The minister is old, and there are all the princes in the court today, and the ministers are worry-free." However, the "Han Ji" was not completed that year, and the ministers are still concerned about it. Please be gracious to Your Majesty, Xu Chen will enter the academy and continue to write "Han Ji" with Dr. Cai and others. ”

The Book of Han is a glorious biographical history book, which records a period of history from Emperor Guangwu to Emperor Xiaoling. During the reign of Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty, he ordered Ban Gu and other ministers to write the "Shizu Benji", which is the origin of the "Han Ji", and later ministers were ordered to revise it. In the time of Emperor An of the Han Dynasty, these historical materials were compiled together, and the original name was "Han Ji", and at this time, the place of historical revision also migrated from the original Lantai to Nangong Dongguan, so later generations also called it "Dongguan Han Ji". This is the official history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which has been widely circulated, and the Wei and Jin dynasties have revised the history and cited its historical materials. Unfortunately, many of these precious materials were destroyed by the war.

During the reign of Emperor Xiaoling, the ministers Ma Riyan, Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, Yang Biao, Han Shuo and others were ordered to edit the "Han Ji". Now that Ma Riyan and Han Shuo are dead, after Yang Biao and Liu Bei had a deep talk, they also completely gave up everything and decided to work together with Liu Bei. After he was promoted to Taifu, he was listed as the same public as Liu Bei. With his prestige and qualifications, he was the head of the class at the time of the court meeting. Although he has no real power, he has no regrets about his successful career. So he brought up the matter of "Han Ji" again.

It just so happened that Cai Yong, Lu Zhi and others were all in Qingzhou, and in Qingzhou Academy, there were a group of Confucians led by Zheng Xuan.

The compilation of the "Han Dynasty" is the rule of the emperors of the past dynasties, and the Son of Heaven has no reason to be unwilling. saw Yang Biao's performance, and he was not allowed. Liu Bei also opened the door of convenience, asking people to give people, and asking things to give things. Yang Biao happily moved to the academy and a group of great Confucian scholars. Not to mention the struggle for power and profit with Liu Bei, he is not Liu Bei's opponent at all. However, revising history is a proper thing that can leave history behind. Yang Biao should be in a happy mood.

Liu Bei stepped out and settled Yang Biao, and his mood was also very different. After Yang Biao negotiated with Liu Bei, he not only got the position of the prince, but also had practical things to do. Since then, without Yang Biao's support, the courtiers have not been able to turn up many storms. Liu Bei can go all out wholeheartedly and no longer worry about the rear.

Everything has been completed, and at the end of the year, the plans of Qing, Xu Erzhou and Liaodong counties have also begun. The so-called "upper accounting" means that the local chief executive regularly submits the accounting documents to the higher authorities to report on the state of local governance. At the end of the year, the prefectural magistrate compiled a record of the county's household registration, cultivated fields, money valleys, and prison conditions, and submitted them to the county. According to the county's book, the county minister then compiles the county's book and reports it to the imperial court. The imperial court used this to evaluate the performance of the local administrators.

There was a system for this matter in ancient times, and in the Han Dynasty, a special law was promulgated "Shangji Law". The emperor sometimes checked the local ledger himself. However, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, this matter was generally under the control of Shangshu.

After Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the imperial court's control over the local area was greatly weakened, and basically no one sent officials to the imperial court to report on their work. The princes seized the localities, changed the tax system without authorization, acted recklessly, and had long regarded the money and grain of the population on the territory as their own things, and where did they still take the imperial court in their eyes. Even a courtier like Liu Bei who has the Han family in his heart, because of the actual Huanxuan, it is impossible to plan against the court.

This year, the imperial court came to Qingzhou, and Liu Bei naturally wanted to do this beautifully. So he worked with the three princes and Shang Shutai to deal with all the things. Sun Rui, the former scholar of Shangshuling, has paid homage to Sikong, and Shangshuling is temporarily vacant. The scholars followed Liu Bei and the others to act. Taxes and taxes are being increased everywhere in the world, but Liu Bei is here, but he is constantly virtuous and political, thanks to Liu Bei's repeated efforts to reduce the burden on the people under his rule. In the past year, there has been a good increase in population, money and grain, and newly cultivated land. As for prisons and law and order, not to mention. Liu Bei's pro-army and the army guarding the place kept sweeping back and forth in the territory, daring to occupy the mountain as the king, and the grass robbers who blocked the road and robbed had long fled and disappeared. It may be an exaggeration to say that Liu Bei will not close his door at night and will not leave the road behind, but if it is compared with other places, it is really like the land of immortals.

After the matter was successfully concluded, everyone was happy, and gave the county officials a comment on promotion, reward, demotion, and punishment, and then reported the good news to the Son of Heaven. Qing and Xu Erzhou are so meteorological, it is simply the hope of ZTE. When the Son of Heaven saw it, he was also happy in his heart, and said to Liu Bei: "Thanks to the power of the general, the people of Qing and Xu are blessed." ”

Under the rule of peace, Liu Bei naturally had a light on his face, and said with a smile: "How can a minister live alone? This God bless the big man also. It is the blessing of the minister, and the blessing of His Majesty. ”

From the Son of Heaven to the princes, they all laughed. So the Son of Heaven issued an edict and feasted the ministers.

During the banquet, there were naturally countless ministers who persuaded Liu Bei to drink. Liu Bei was in a happy mood, almost no one refused to come, and the glass was dry. In the end, he went home drunk.

When I woke up, it was the early morning of the second day. Lu Xuan waited for Liu Bei to change his clothes, Liu Bei looked at the snow-white outside the window, rubbed his somewhat stiff face, and said with a smile: "Ruixue is a good year, at this time, there is a lot of snow, and the coming year will be a big year." ”

After washing, Liu Bei went out of the bedroom, and the children lined up to greet their father. Liu Bei smiled: "Have you asked your grandmother for peace?" ”

The children replied to their father, leaving a series of crisp laughter, and then ran out into the yard to have snowball fights and build snowmen. Lu Heng complained: "Husband, look at how you are used to these children. ”

Liu Bei walked towards his mother's room, waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, it's better to be lively." ”

In the middle of the line, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "Madam, how are you preparing for your daughter's marriage?" ”
