Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 1 Danger lurks Section 30

Chapter 1 Danger lurks a day after the thirtieth stanza, Li Wei's letter was again delivered to the hussar general's camp.

Everything was as Li Wei and Zhu Mu expected, and after Zhang Wen received an affirmative reply from the hussar general, he really came up with a set of carefully prepared new court structure.

In the book, Li Wei gave a detailed explanation of Zhang Wen's proposal. Once the eldest princess issued an edict to the world, took charge of state affairs, formed the imperial court, courted Dong Qinwang and revitalized the community, this blow to Dong Zhuo was conceivable.

This is a clear declaration for the counties of Gyeonggi and Xijiang under Dong Zhuo's control, as well as for some of the prefectures and counties that are still waiting and hesitating.

Dong Zhuo is a rebellious Han man, he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the world, scourge the community, cause the Son of Heaven to be in trouble, and the society is in danger.

At the same time, this also pardoned all the guilt of Yuan Shao and the Dong Alliance, Yuan Shao and the Dong Alliance immediately became national heroes, and everyone immediately gathered under the new court ruled by the eldest princess to fight together for the Han Dynasty.

However, due to the principle of respecting the present and respecting a court, this new court was not rebuilt, but was divided into a part on the basis of the Chang'an court, which was mainly composed of Beijing officials who served in various places.

The eldest princess acts as an agent for state affairs, and the eldest princess's mansion is equivalent to the inner court, and is engaged in the Shangshu equivalent to the inner court, mainly doing Shangshu affairs.

The outer court is composed of the Taifu Mansion, the Hussar General's Mansion, and the Imperial Historian's Mansion. The Taifu Mansion is the prime minister, and the mansion has thirteen Caos in the east and west, and is in charge of the administration of the Han Dynasty.

The Hussar General's Mansion was in charge of the Han military. The superintendent of the Imperial History Office is in charge of supervision.

The Imperial Historian's Mansion is no longer subordinate to the Hussar General's Mansion, but is in the same column as the Hussar General. The current three dukes of this dynasty are composed of Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong, and each duke leads the three secretaries, which is actually to divide the responsibilities of the prime minister in the past into three, but Zhang Wen changed the three dukes official system back to the three dukes in the early days of the founding of this dynasty.

At the beginning of the founding of this dynasty, the three official systems were the prime minister, the imperial lieutenant and the imperial historian. The Prime Minister is the supreme chief executive, with the most power and all-encompassing.

Except for the military, the lieutenant hardly cares about other things, but just routinely participates in state affairs.

Imperial Doctor is equivalent to the deputy prime minister. In the past, there was a convention in this dynasty that generally the prime minister must first be a royal doctor.

Why did Zhang Wen change the three-public official system? In the past, the prime minister not only had to manage state affairs, but also inquire about the emperor's family affairs.

Therefore, if the emperor has anything at that time, he will first explain to the imperial historian, and then the imperial historian will report to the prime minister.

If there is anything to do with the prime minister, he will also be transferred from the imperial historian to Zhongcheng, and then from Zhongcheng to the inner court. Imperial power and phase power are separated, but this is not immutable, and when you meet a man as eloquent and eloquent as Emperor Xiaowu, this matter is different.

Emperor Xiaowu wanted to build a meritorious career for all generations and seize the power of the prime minister, so at that time, the nine secretaries of the outer court directly listened to the instructions of the inner court.

This is where the weight of the Inner Court Shangshutai begins. Zhang Wen's meaning is obvious, during the revitalization of Sheji, the eldest princess will never be allowed to monopolize the power of the country.

The current Taifu of Dahan is Liu Yu. Liu Yu is the minister of the clan, the pillar stone of this dynasty, the uncle of the eldest princess, the former lord of Li Hong, the old official of the general of Youzhou in northern Xinjiang, and his character and intelligence are also the choice of the Han Dynasty.

Before his death, the first emperor worshipped him as the auxiliary minister of Tuogu, but unfortunately the first emperor died a little earlier, and Liu Yu could not take charge of the overall situation before the first emperor returned.

If Liu Yu could return to Luoyang in time, Dahan Sheji would not have fallen into such a desperate situation today. Now, no matter from that aspect, there is only Liu Yu who has the ability to control the authority of the country in the world, and no one can replace Liu Yu's position, not one.

The only person in the world who can convince the hussar general Li Hong and the Northern Xinjiang army is Liu Yu.

The hussar general Li Hong led the military and had already been given the right to command the battlefield of the expedition. Now that he is given the matter of being a lieutenant, then all the military administrative power will be given to Li Hong, and the rest will be the military strategic decision-making power.

In the three-public official system at the beginning of this dynasty, the military strategic decision-making narrative is also the emperor's, but it has a flexibility, such as encountering a weak emperor and a strong prime minister, and this decision-making power is the prime minister's.

When encountering a strong monarch like Emperor Xiaowu, the decision-making power is the emperor's. Later, the power of the inner court, the auxiliary government of the great general, and the revision of the three-public official system, this decision-making power is the inner court.

Now the eldest princess must be a weak imperial power, and Liu Yu must be a strong one

"Prime Minister", Li Hong must also be a strong one

"Tai Lieutenant", is this military decision-making power held by these two people? No, it is three people in charge, and one is the history of the superintendent, and this superintendent is the leader of Jizhou Mu Hanfu.

Zhang Wen came up with such a three-public official system, which can be regarded as painstaking, exhaustive, and considers everything.

If you want to fight, you need money and food, but where does this money and food come from? Northern Xinjiang and Youzhou are two difficult brothers, a pair of poor eggs, and only Jizhou has money and grain.

Whether or not we can fight a war depends not on whether there is an army, but on whether there is food and grass to carry it. Now that the status quo is here, as long as everyone respects the eldest princess and the imperial court in Jinyang, there are only two wars to decide in the future, one is to counter the rebellion, and the other is to seek Dong.

And these two major decisions are closely related to all three people, and even if there are some differences, it will not be too big. Below the imperial court are the prefectures and counties.

Under the persuasion of Cui Lie, Ma Riyan, Chen Ji, and Yuan Peng, Jizhou Mu Han Fu will definitely respond, as for Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, Yuzhou Mu Kong Ling and others, of course, don't say it, Zhang Wen is completely sure of this.

Jingzhou and Yangzhou are far away, and there are Yellow Turban Army in the prefectures and counties, so it is inconvenient to contact, but they will definitely get a reply next spring, and Zhang Wen is also full of confidence in their response.

Taifu Liu Yu is in charge of the military and political affairs of Youzhou, and the hussar general Li Hong is in charge of the military and political affairs of Northern Xinjiang, so there is no need to talk about these two states.

According to Zhang Wen's assumption, the two events of quelling the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army and crusading against Dong Zhuo should be over in two to three years, and his only concern was that Dong Zhuo had kidnapped the Son of Heaven and fled to the western frontier.

The war in the western frontier scared him that year. Now it is not like in the past, in the past, the imperial court could continuously send grain and grass to the western frontier, but now it is not possible.

Without more than five years of recuperation, the army was simply unable to expedition to the western frontier. The Son of Heaven will be in trouble for a long time, and the matter of the emperor will become very, very tricky.

Li Wei said that Zhang Wen, Ding Gong and Cai Yong repeatedly explained that once the eldest princess told the king of Qin to ask for Dong and the Jinyang court was established, the Son of Heaven and the Chang'an court would be in vain, and the prefectures and counties would obey the news, so that our strength would increase suddenly.

Whether it is to fight Dong or to quell the rebellion, they can form a huge joint force, and it will be decided in one battle. Therefore, if Li Hong agrees with this strategy of the imperial court, then immediately reply to the letter, and Zhang Wen will quickly send people to Youzhou to invite Liu Yu and Lu Zhi, the Taifu Lord, and Jizhou Mu Hanfu to Jinyang to discuss major matters.

Li Wei finally said that the plan that Zhang Wen brought to the northern Xinjiang was very perfect, and it was obvious that many ministers of the Chang'an court had carefully planned and thought about it for a long time.

This plan is beneficial to all forces, whether it is the eldest princess, the Taifu Lord Liu Yu, the general, or Han Fu, Yuan Shao and other state and county bureaucrats, they all benefited from it.

With the current strength of the great general and the northern Xinjiang, there is no military decision at all, on the contrary, the great general is constrained by the crisis of population, wealth, and food, and it is precisely at a time when he is at a loss and in danger.

The establishment of the Jinyang Imperial Court helped the general to alleviate these crises that the northern Xinjiang was currently facing. Now that the generals have really gained the military administrative power and part of the military strategic decision-making power of the Han Dynasty, the power of the general has increased significantly.

The most important military administrative powers are the right to personnel, the right to allocate military funds, and the right to organize training. With this de facto personnel power, the general could arbitrarily appoint and dispatch generals with a rank of more than 2,000 koku.

Almost all the state and county armies that are subordinate to the Jinyang court are under your control. Taifu Lord Liu Yu did things as a prime minister and did what he should have done, but he was still the pastor of Youzhou, and many difficulties in Youzhou that he was most concerned about could be partially solved because of the establishment of this imperial court.

Whether it is Han Fu or Yuan Shao, all the people in the Dong Alliance have finally found righteousness for their Dong Alliance, and the shadow of rebellion, extermination, and stench for thousands of years has finally dissipated from their hearts, and what awaits them will be meritorious deeds and fame in history.

And what made them especially happy was that Li Hong, a bloody leopard, had finally become a minister of the same palace, and they should no longer worry about his strong force.

On the contrary, with Li Hong and the Northern Xinjiang Army, quelling the scourge of the Yellow Turban and seeking Dong to get rid of ** has become an easy task, and it is no longer a distant thing.

Of course, the Son of Heaven, the eldest princess and the imperial court are the biggest beneficiaries, because they have saved the Han Dynasty, the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains that are about to be overturned, and the lives of thousands of people.

I implore the general to make up his mind for the sake of the common people. Li Hong, Xu Rong, Yu Shi and Zhu Mu read Li Wei's letter seven or eight times.

Zhu Mu kept explaining to the three of them the evolution of the Han official system and the implications of the three official systems suggested by Zhang Wen

The "separation of powers" and its pros and cons, as well as the possible consequences of this imperial court structure in resolving the current crisis of the Han Dynasty.

"General, Lord Xu, Lord Yu, what do you think?" Li Hong smiled: "It's really good that Lord Liu is here." I have no opinion, as long as I follow Lord Liu, I can do anything. He told me to fight the east, but I will never fight the west. Jade said happily: "Like the general, I am willing to follow Lord Liu to serve the country, even if I go to the soup and the fire, I will not give up." Xu Rong handed Li Wei's letter to Zhu Mu, and said slowly: "I have a four-hundred-year foundation of the Han Dynasty, how can a gang of ** thieves be easily overturned?" It looks like we'll be able to go home after a few fights. Zhu Mu took the letter and threw it on the desk with a melancholy expression.

"What? What code words did Zhong Yuan write on the letter this time? Li Hong asked with a smile,

"Did he say anything bad again?"

Zhong Yuan told Zhang Wen a few old men that he was dizzy, this strategy can also be called perfect? There are a lot of worries in it, a lot. Zhu Mu sighed,

"I originally thought that Zhang Wen would rebuild a new imperial court, but who knew that he would make such a four-like imperial court, and there would be endless troubles. Such a good opportunity was wasted for these conformist old men. Li Hong, Xu Rong and Jade looked at Zhu Mu in confusion.

"The Great General used to like to wear a cloak of hair, was he like a general back then? Not like. Zhu Mu smiled bitterly,

"And now? Now the general is neat and majestic, and he looks like a general at a glance. The three of them realized.

"Forget it, don't talk about it, maybe I'm wrong. Yuan Shao is an example. He wanted to say anything about rebuilding the imperial system, and he also killed four ministers in a row to show his determination, what was the result? There were few responders, and there was a lot of scolding. The ministers of the court and the central government may also have the same fear, if the eldest princess can do the affairs of the Son of Heaven and worship the ministers at will, the consequences may be the same as Yuan Shao. Zhu Mu waved his hand and said,

"Just as Lord Xu said, how can a gang of traitors overthrow the 400-year-old foundation of the Han Dynasty? I don't want to, since the general and the two adults agree, I will go back to Jinyang. Li Hong said with a smile: "I will personally reply to Lord Zhang Wen, you reply to Zhong Yuan, let him discuss with the Eldest Princess's Mansion in detail, and follow Lord Zhang Wen's arrangement to make preliminary preparations." ”

"In addition, I will give Xian Yufu of Mobei Metropolitan Expansion, Zhao Yun of Yunzhong Xingyuan, Zhang Yan of Changshan, Koji Yi of Huguan, and Yan Rou of Shanggu each revise a book, tell them in detail about this matter, and ask for their opinions."

"Invite Yang Hua to come, let him go to Luoyang, and tell Lord Zhu Jun and Yan Liang about this. Bring their opinions back as soon as possible. Xu Rong added: "Tell Yan Liang and tell him to keep an eye on Dong Zhuo's movements at all times, so as not to be suddenly attacked by Dong Zhuo after the news leaks." "Under October, Jizhou, Yecheng.

After Ma Riyan and the other four old ministers arrived in Yecheng, they were ceremoniously received by Han Fu, and all kinds of matters went very smoothly.

Han Fu agreed to everything he could, and explained very clearly what he couldn't. A few days later, Cui Lie, Chen Ji, and Yuan Peng rushed to Bohai County, Hejian Kingdom and Anping Kingdom to buy grain from the local gate lords.

The eldest Ma Riyan stayed in Yecheng. On this day, Ma Riyan received an 800-mile urgent letter from Zhang Wen and hurried to Jizhou Mansion.

Han Fu's reaction was not as excited and excited as Ma Riyan imagined, he calmly asked some details, and then said that he would discuss it with his subordinates, and immediately replied to Ma Riyan after the result.

Ma Riyan was very angry and asked him, what is there to discuss about this matter? Do you still want to be the king alone?

When Yuan Kui arranged for you to go to Jizhou to serve as the pastor of Jizhou, what did he say to you? Have you forgotten everything?

Han Fu saw that Ma Riyan was angry, and hurriedly said, "Boss, you have misunderstood. Do you know what I'm worried about? ”

"What are you worried about?"

"I'm worried that this Jinyang court will become Li Hong's court. Dong Zhuo's disaster has not been eradicated, and there is another leopard disaster, as a result, my Han life is ruined, and the society is broken. ”

"How do you think that the court of Jinyang will become the court of leopards?" Ma Riyan asked.

"Just what he's done this year." Han Fu said,

"In March and April, who beat us in Xingyang? Who led the army to plunder Yingchuan and Nanyang? And who killed Yingchuan Taishou Li Min? In the summer, who sent troops to prepare to assemble a large army to attack Jizhou? Now, you are counting on the eldest princess with the esteemed eldest princess, Master Taifu Liu Yu, and my money and food from Jizhou to persuade him to attack Dong Zhuo, and King Qin to remove **, don't you think this is wishful thinking? Who is Li Hong? He was a bloodthirsty beast, a ferocious leopard. How can you trust him, sir? Could it be that I, Han Fu, Yuan Shao, Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, and Yuan Yi, are not as loyal to the Han as the leopard? Why can't the eldest princess and this court be built in Jizhou? Han Fu looked at Ma Riyan and said with a sad expression: "Boss, if you have to let me go to Jinyang, I will go, I will not embarrass you and all the bosses." But I really don't understand, why do you trust the leopard but don't trust me, don't trust Jizhou? I don't understand why you want the leopard to suck up the last drop of blood and gnaw the last bone of my Dahan Sheji, why? Ma Riyan was speechless.

He sat for a long time, then reached out and patted Han Fu,

"Do you want to hear me explain?" Han Fu shook his head,

"Boss, I only eat one meal a day now, my wife and children are like this, and the same is true of the people in my house, if not for anything else, just to save a little food to supply the army. Our army wants to defeat the Yellow Turbans that are ravaging Ji Yanqing Xu and Hanoi, and we want to march west as soon as possible to defeat Dong Zhuo and revitalize Sheji, we are bleeding and sweating, we are fighting hard, but what about Li Hong? What is Li Hong doing? Li Hong has 120,000 border troops, why can't he please King Dong Qin? He beat us and forced us to give them money and food, I don't understand, why didn't he fight Luoyang, not Chang'an, and didn't force Dong Zhuo to ask for money and food? ”

"Now that Dong Zhuo has turned his face against him and beaten him, there is a shortage of money and food in northern Xinjiang, and he immediately wants to join forces with us to fight Dong Zhuo. Now we are not rebellious, Dong Zhuo is rebellious. Han Fu said excitedly,

"You trust such a sinister and vicious wolf-hearted man? He even gave him the duties of a lieutenant, and even put our army under his command. Boss, do you want to save the community or destroy it? Ma Riyan was speechless.

"Boss, no matter how you explain it, I can't accept it, Yuan Shao, Liu Dai and Zhang Miao." Han Fu's eyes were a little moist, and his voice was choked,

"Without Li Hong, it may have taken us longer to defeat the Yellow Turban Army and defeat Dong Zhuo. But once we help Li Hong and create a scourge that is even more tyrannical than Dong Zhuo, what will we do? What should I do with Dahan Sheji? Who will save this devastated country? "Jump to
