Chapter 54: A New Destination

A fire made many barbarians sober up, and the Han army was not easy to mess with. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info was also a little unconvinced, and said with red eyes that the Han people were playing conspiracy and tricks, and they had the ability to go ashore to fight in a dignified manner. Liu Bei disdains this, conspiracy is also a kind of strength, who told you not to read the military book? If you have the ability, you can burn me! Of course, in a face-to-face fight, you will also see how powerful I am!

Outside Jiangzhou City, in the barbarian department, the barbarian king was furious, and kicked over the case in front of him on the spot, and without saying a word, he pulled the knife on Xiao Ming's neck, Xiao Ming's face did not change but was exercised, so he asked: "Why is the barbarian king like this?" ”

The barbarian king's eyes were blood-red, and he roared angrily: "Old horseman! Didn't you say that you want to recruit us? How can you let the Han army kill my people? You Han people are all rebels! After saying that, with both hands, Xiao Ying was already oozing blood on his neck.

Xiao Ying exhaled pain in his heart, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Barbarian King, the old man has been in the barbarian department for several months with great sincerity, if it wasn't for the old man dragging here, my Wang Shi would have gone straight to Jiangzhou and asked you one by one!" And not just now to Dianjiang City! Barbarian king, my Han soldiers are already impatient, and they want to fight for this piece of counterinsurgency, whether to fight or surrender, where to go, you should make a decision! In the end, Xiao Ying's voice was full of emotion, and every word was heartfelt!

When the barbarian king waited for Xiao Ying to finish speaking, he couldn't help but lose his mind for a while, took the knife away weakly with both hands, and sat down on the seat, not knowing what he was thinking. Xiao Ying thought to herself, it seems that Xuande has hit them clearly, so it's good. It's time for this rebellion to come to an end.

Dianjiang, the unwilling barbarians led the crowd to fight the last battle with the Han army, this battle, four thousand elite soldiers shook more than 10,000 barbarians, Yan Yan took the lead in breaking through the formation, Liu Bei Liu Ke led the armor archers to follow behind, constantly killing the barbarian leaders and warriors, the Han army's spear array guarded the surroundings, and kept assassinating. In this battle, blood flowed and there were countless corpses. Killing the barbarians was terrified.

In the summer of May, the barbarian king led his troops to surrender. And there are still untamed people, Liu Bei led the army to attack from all sides, surrounded and killed them, and left no one behind. The Han army weizhen Yizhou, so the rebellion was decided.

Xiao Ying made a bloody alliance with the barbarian king, reaffirming that the alliance between the Han and the barbarians was firm and inviolable. He also told the barbarian king that if the Han officials dared to bully the barbarian tribe again, they could directly report to the Yizhou Assassin History Office, and the Yizhou Assassin History could directly report to the bus and let the Holy Son of Heaven adjudicate. The barbarian king is overjoyed, he has got everything he deserves, and he doesn't have to fight to death anymore. As for the dead cave masters, go well, your wives and tribesmen, and I will take care of them for you. So the barbarians had a feast and feasted with the Han army for three days, and the wild game in the mountains was presented like water, and many people were about to hurt their stomachs. A while ago, they were enemies who fought with knives, but now they are like brothers in the blink of an eye. The wonder of the world is nothing more than that.

The good news was transmitted to the imperial court, and the ministers were all congratulated by the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven was overjoyed, and he was called Xiao Ying worthy of the ministers of the pillar stone, and Liu Bei was worthy of the talent. I really boasted for a while. There is no way, the imperial court needs good news too much. In February of this year, the garrison of the government suddenly collapsed, and in March, Liang Wangxu, and in April, Jiangxia rebelled...... Cao Jie followed the emperor's side, his face was as usual, only his eyes were turning, and he didn't know what thoughts were moving.

In June, the Imperial Edict and the Secretary of State were appointed as the Speaker of the Imperial Court.

Then he discussed the matter of Yizhou, since the rebellion has been decided, then the meritorious man must not be rewarded, otherwise it will be troublesome to chill the hearts of the soldiers. The emperor is still very clear about this, no matter how messy he is, he is really good for the army. Otherwise, the world will be in chaos like this, who will he rely on to calm the chaos for him?

Because of a rebellion in Yizhou, countless officials were dismissed. As for whether they will fall or not, it depends on the means by which they operate. This time, in addition to the money and rewards, Zhang Jue was transferred to the county lieutenant of Ba County, Yan Yan was the Dianjiang Order, and the rest of the schools were promoted. Guanghan Taishou and Hanzhong Taishou meritorious demerits are equivalent, no guilt and no reward, Qianwei Taishou meritorious, enter Beijing, worship will be a master.

In the end, it was Xiao Ying and Liu Bei's turn. The rapid quelling of the Yizhou rebellion was due to the efforts of these two men. Xiao Ying even listed Liu Bei as the first merit in the recital, and there were many words of praise. Xiao Ying had nothing to discuss, and Yizhou couldn't leave him for the time being, so he rewarded a hundred silk horses, gave him the title of Marquis of Guannei, and became the history of Yizhou's assassination.

As for Liu Bei, his future father-in-law had already helped him think of a place to go, and he also played: "Liu Xuande is a learned person, who can read the scriptures of "Shangshu" and "Spring and Autumn", and can be removed as a councilor. "Anyway, the imperial court needs these talents, so it's better to let Liu Bei do this job, which just happens to be able to save one person's money for the imperial court.

The ministers and the emperor also thought that this proposal was good, Liu Bei was Langzhong Guanzheng before, and then it was the most normal to turn into a Lang Lang. And Liu Bei himself is very knowledgeable. So the emperor was ready to say yes.

Cao Jie saw that the emperor's lips were about to move, and immediately bowed down, and said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Ying recommended that Liu Bei can master the art of war and be brave enough to skip others." Pingding Yizhou borrowed more from it. And Yizhou Xinding, or there is dissatisfaction. Mo Ruo asked Liu Bei to also serve as an official in Yizhou, and sit in Yizhou with Xiao Ying to deter Xiaoxiao. ”

There was Lu Zhi next to him who was furious, but he couldn't bear it, he wanted to see what else this eunuch could say.

The emperor was interrupted by Cao Jie, and felt that it was the same, Yizhou was in a mess from time to time, or let Xiao Ying and Liu Bei go there to sit for me for a few years? Just take advantage of the momentum of a big victory, see which one dares not to open his eyes! The emperor said: "Hmm, then what does Cao Qing think Liu Bei does?" ”

Cao Jie thought about it, and really didn't want Liu Bei to be too high, but in order to keep Liu Bei in Yizhou, he let go and fight, so he said: "Your Majesty, Ba County has the most barbarians, and the former Taishou has been condemned to his post, so Liu Bei can be appointed as the Ba County Taishou." ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked, what kind of joke, the court training officials are not messed up like this, and it also depends on the qualifications. That is, the conditions of the position and the personal conditions. In Dahan, if you want to be an official or a high-ranking official, you have to consider it from various aspects such as morality, professionalism, labor examination, merit, examination, and background. Of course, most of the time it is based on virtue, professionalism, labor examination and merit.

Among the elected officials, "learn to pass the practice, doctor of the scriptures", "know the laws and regulations, enough to resolve doubts, can review the case and chapters", "fortitude and strategy, and be able to serve as the three auxiliary orders" are professional qualifications. Medical officers, astronomical officers, etc., there are more detailed professional requirements. And the example of filial piety and "virtue is wonderful, and the ambition is innocent" is the requirement of virtue.

Labor examination is the qualification obtained through seniority and performance appraisal, which is very important, and it is the basic factor in the promotion of officials. The so-called officials are old and senior. This is basically the qualifications, how many years have you been an official, how are the comments every year, etc. Even if you are average every year, as long as you have been in the official position for longer than others, you are still more qualified than others.

As for merit, it is a promotion under special circumstances, and the labor examination can be ignored. It is equivalent to the line of fire in later generations......

Liu Bei's theory of origin, virtue, talent and meritorious service is enough. But the difference is in the labor examination. How long has he been an official? There is no experience in governing a single county. Those who are about the same age as him are still in the court! A county is too guarded, a minister, now that the Han Dynasty is all over the world, and the county and the country are only a hundred, how can Liu Bei be allowed to hold this important position? No matter how much everyone admires Liu Bei, no matter how much they think he is talented and learned, they can't do this. The imperial court has its own system for appointing officials, and it cannot allocate seedlings to help them grow, and they cannot arbitrarily come around. The imperial court cultivates talents, basically the court is the lang, the county order, and then returns to the center of the court, and then the local official...... Basically, they are all promoted in such a curve, how can they be directly promoted to a county Taishou soon after they entered the office, this is a practical official, not a Qing important official.

So the ministers spoke one after another, saying that Liu Bei was not qualified enough to take on this important task. The emperor thought about it, and he also felt that it was inappropriate, and he was more reluctant, you know, selling a Taishou position is a lot of money! So he said to Cao Jie: "Cao Qing's words are not beautiful. ”

That's what Cao Jie wanted, so he played again: "Your Majesty, last winter, the Xianbei thief killed me, and there were several more this year. There are many doctors in the scriptures in the DPRK and China, and Liu Bei is not missing. Since Liu Bei has a military strategy, it is better to make him the governor of Liaodong, help Liaodong to guard the border and share the worries of His Majesty. "Cao Jie just didn't let Liu Bei come back anyway, and he also knew that the emperor and the ministers would not let Liu Bei take the post of Taishou, so it's okay to serve as the deputy of a county, right? So he retreated and wanted to throw Liu Bei to Liaodong.

Lu Zhi was furious, what kind of enmity did my son-in-law have with you, a thief? You're going to get him to Liaodong? That's the front line against Xianbei, and you still let him go to a military position, and if he doesn't do well, he will have to die. was either cut by the Xianbei people, or cut by the imperial court. Old eunuch, you are making my daughter a widow at a young age! The old man will not rest with you!

immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, Liaodong is an important place for Yuxian Bei and Wuhuan, and an important position in the border county, and it is customary for the old ministers to be appointed by the generals." In this way, we can keep the enemy out of the country. Although Liu Xuande has thin materials, he is still young, his blood is strong, and he is easy to be impulsive. I am afraid that he will start a war for the sake of military merit, and he will not be qualified for the post of captain, and His Majesty will be aware of it. ”

The emperor thought about it and felt that both sides made sense. After listening to Cao Jie, he felt that Liu Bei was very capable of fighting, and he could rest assured that he was placed in the border county. After listening to Lu Zhi, I felt that although Liu Bei could fight, he was too young and impulsive, in case he was hot-headed and took the initiative to fight the Xianbei people, it would be nothing if he won the battle, but what if he lost his teacher and lost his land? Forget it, don't take the risk.

The emperor was groaning, and Cao Jie knew that he might not be able to pass this idea. So he played again: "Your Majesty, there is a shortage of county orders in Ji County and Guangyang County in Guangyang County, and the slave maid heard that Liu Xuande will get married this year, so why not make Liu Bei one of these two positions, so that he can hold a marriage in his hometown." It also shows that His Majesty is sympathetic to the meritorious ministers. ”

Lu Zhi is angry again, bastard, he can't get married in Luoyang? You have to get to the edge, right? was about to speak again, but saw that the emperor saw Cao Jie kneeling at the bottom of the steps, loyally thinking about himself, and made a few remarks, if he brushed his mind again, he was afraid of hurting Cao Jie's heart, so he immediately agreed, and said: "What Qing said is exact." He transferred Liu Bei to Guangyang Order, and when his marriage date was set, he would be given another month of marriage leave. Then another reward will be given.

Seeing this, the ministers have nothing to say, as long as Liu Bei is not allowed to suddenly go to the Taishou of 2,000 stones, whether Liu Bei is appointed as a councilor or as a county commander, it is all a matter of duty. Only Lu Zhi was still indignant but helpless.

Liu Bei was still in Yizhou, but he didn't know that after a fight, the court threw him to Youzhou again.
