Liu Yu and Zhu Jun died, and the high positions in the DPRK were vacated.

Around this matter, it is inevitable that there will be another open and secret battle.

Ordered Wang Meng to stay in Luoyang, and Fan Zhongyan, Li Yan, Xu Da and others presided over the military and political affairs of Hanoi, and Liu Mang led a group of staff to rush back to Anyi day and night.

On the way, the corresponding strategy was basically agreed.

With Liu Mang's current strength, it is not wise to fight for the position of hussar general. However, with the merit of recovering the eastern capital of Luoyang, there will not be much obstacle to strive for the role of General Wei and the commander of the school.

The positions of Taifu and Hussar General are not necessary. What is important is who is recommended to receive the scholar's affairs.

Shang Shutai is the core of power in the imperial court.

Among the princes, only Eryuan and Erliu have deep qualifications and strong strength, and their respective factions will definitely try their best to fight for this position.

And none of these people are good friends with Liu Mang, and they must not let the power of the government fall into their hands.

Liu Bowen was a slippery old planner, and on the grounds that Liu Yu was unable to take office in the imperial court, which caused a lot of inconvenience, he suggested that the little emperor Liu Xie should be persuaded to issue an edict that no matter who received the Shangshu, he must go to Anyi to accompany him to take up his post.

Eryuan and Erliu would never dare to come to Anyi to take up their posts, so as to avoid the power falling into the hands of dissidents.

This obstacle can prevent Eryuan and Erliu from controlling the government, and it is also easy to cause their backlash.

Yuan Benchu of Jizhou and Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou, due to their reputation, did not dare to blatantly act rebelliously. But that Yuan Shu and Liu Yan have long been self-reliant, will this move be an excuse for them?

Liu Bowen said: "Liu Yan and Yuan Shu have had different intentions for a long time, and if they have excuses, they have to do it; There are no excuses, they make excuses, and they do it. Why worry? ”

"That's it!" Liu Mang's mind has been decided.

The candidates for Lingshang Shushi are none other than Yang Biao, the lieutenant of the Three Princes, Sun Rui, Situ Shi, and Sikong Zhao Wen.

All three of them belong to the middle forces of the DPRK and China, have political experience, and have no special inclination towards the major princes.

But to support one of them is bound to alienate the other two.

Du Ruhui suggested: "Shang Shutai holds the military and political power. It doesn't make sense to rule alone. It can be suggested that Your Majesty should be in charge of Shangshutai with the three dukes. ”

That's a good idea!

In this way, the relationship with the three of them can be brought closer at the same time. In the imperial court, a wider alliance was sought.

Liu Mang's suggestion was supported by most of the courtiers, and Yang Biaoshi, Sun Rui, and Zhao Wen were the same consuls as the third duke. Taiwei Yang Biao is the first assistant.

And Liu Mang, as General Wei, concurrently led the Sili Lieutenant, Yibi Third Division, set up the Sili Lieutenant's Mansion in Luoyang, and took Wang Meng as the chief of the Sili Lieutenant's Mansion and led the engagement.

……

The change of important ministers in the court, the reaction of the major princes to this matter was somewhat unexpected.

The most active performance belongs to Liu Bei in Xuzhou.

Liu Bei grabbed the territory and harvested talents. As the team grows, there will naturally be no dissatisfaction.

The above table fully supports the imperial court, and it is inevitable to sing praises for Liu Mang. And Liu Bei himself also got his wish and led the history of Qingxu Erzhou.

The calmest performance belongs to Yuan Shao of Jizhou.

Yang Biao and others were also the leaders of Shangshu, but Yuan Shao was not very satisfied, but he couldn't find a reason to blame.

However, while he supported the imperial court, he also suggested that the imperial court should severely punish Gongsun Zhan.

said that Gongsun Zhan's move. If we ignore the rules and discipline of the program, we will become a disaster.

Regarding Gongsun Zhan's behavior, the important ministers of the DPRK also had many accusations. Correct. Youzhou is located in a remote area and cannot afford to collect.

Fang Xuanling analyzed: "Yuan Benchu's move is to pave the way for the attack on Youzhou, although Gongsun Chan has Youzhou, his disaster is not far away!" ”

The strangest performance is Nanyang Yuan Shu.

Not only Yuan Shu. Even Hu Miao, who had the closest relationship with Yuan Shu in the court, did not speak for Yuan Shu, but strongly recommended Liu Yan to replace Liu Yu on the grounds that Liu Yan was a relative of the Han family.

"Yuan Highway's trick is very clever!" Liu Bowen twisted his beard and analyzed, "The important ministers in the court, there are few people who support Yuan Shu. The previous agreement on a hundred officials, Yuan Shu has been neglected. Now, he knows that he is unable to seek a high position, and he must have a plan to support Liu Yan when he retreats. ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty has issued an edict to lead the book, and you need to go to the capital to take up your post." It was impossible for Liu Yan to come to accompany the capital, but Yuan Shu strongly recommended it, and his intention was to encourage Liu Yan to become self-reliant. ”

Liu Bowen said: "Yes! Liu Yan was going to be self-reliant, and Yuan Shu's move had the effect of fueling the fire, and after Liu Yan became self-reliant, Yuan Shu would also make a move. ”

Liu Yan and Yuan Shu have been unsubmissive for a long time.

Liu Yan lived in a remote and isolated independent kingdom, and Yuan Shu's men had a large population and strong soldiers.

They want to stand on their own, and the court can't stop it now, and it's not able to levy it.

But Liu Mang will not sit idly by, and it is wise to try to divide and disintegrate.

Sun Ce was an important force in Yuan Shu's camp, but there was already a rift between the two.

Zhang Lu, appointed by Liu Yan, occupied Hanzhong and guarded the northern gate of Yizhou for him. However, Zhang Lu vigorously promoted the Five Dou Rice Sect in Hanzhong, and Liu Yan was very disgusted with it.

The canonization of Sun Ce and Zhang Lu can have the effect of divisiveness and weaken the strength of Yuan Shu and Liu Yan.

Sun Ce was appointed as the general of Zhendong and made Marquis of Wu. Zhang Lu was the general of Zhennan and was named the Marquis of Langzhong.

……

The golden autumn is approaching, although this year is not a bumper harvest year, but the crops are growing well, and the autumn harvest can be expected, which will greatly alleviate the urgency of grain and grass.

After half a year of food problems, Liu Mang finally felt a little relieved.

However, just when everyone was looking forward to the golden autumn harvest, Guo Shoujing reminded: "This year, the wind and clouds often go against each other, and the night wind continues. July, which was supposed to be the time of the autumn floods, and the water of the rivers in the area of the state department was clear but not muddy, and all these signs indicated that there would be a major drought next year. ”

Guo Shoujing's reminder is like pouring cold water on his head. Liu Mang's excited mood instantly fell to the bottom again.

Guo Shoujing is not a wizard who can pinch and calculate, but he has a wealth of knowledge of astronomy and water conservancy, and he will not be wrong in predicting a big drought next year.

Liu Mang was glad that he had listened to Qiao Zhiyong's suggestion and was conducting tripartite trade with Jingzhou and Nanyang in exchange for grain.

Secretly ordered Qiao Zhiyong to increase the trade quota and strive to trade more grain before the winter came.

At the same time, follow Guo Shoujing's advice, take precautions and prepare in advance. After the autumn harvest, in the main farming area of Bingzhou Sili, the water conservancy foundation of the Qin and Han dynasties was used to dredge the old ditches and dig new ditches to prepare in advance for next year's drought.

……

On several cases, a piece of silk cloth with thirty lattices painted on it.

This is the schedule that Wan'er made for Liu Mang, recording the important events of the month.

When Liu Mang checked the schedule, he found an important problem - the Qixi Festival is coming!

No matter how busy you are and how tight your money is, you can't treat your own woman badly.

Three small silver pendants, engraved with the names of Wuji, Wan'er and Raider.

The gifts given to the attackers were sent to Jinyang by stagecoach, and Liu Mang personally wore them around their necks for the innocent and Wan'er.

Although the gift is light, the affection is priceless.

Unsullied happiness is in her heart, but Wan'er pouts playfully. "If you dare to forget, you look good!"
