Chapter 0254 - On Politics (I)
Late at night, Li Yi entered the city.
Some of the principal officials of several counties in the eastern part of Liaodong County, headed by Liu Yi, told Li Yi about the process of defending the city for more than a month, and then proposed to Li Yi that he should restore the county yamen, pacify the people in the territory, and prepare disaster relief materials to help the people survive the winter. They needed a lot of money and food.
In fact, this is not only a problem faced by a few counties in the eastern part of Liaodong County, but a problem that the entire Liaodong County and all counties in Liaodong subject country need to face.
Li Yi immediately ordered Xun Yu to temporarily take charge of the administrative affairs of the entire counties and counties in eastern Liaodong, and asked the officials of the counties and counties to work out the matters that needed to be resolved overnight and discuss them with Xun Yu tomorrow.
In the early morning, Li Hong returned to the temporary military tent.
Zhao Yun first talked about the preliminary statistics of the number of casualties and the amount of materials seized, and then the generals of each department began to report, and then everyone discussed whether to continue to attack the rebels or take a temporary break. The generals of the various ministries had different opinions and argued endlessly.
In the second half of the night, Li Yi and Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Zhang Jaw, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and others discussed the matter of reporting to the Son of Heaven, the matter of military salaries, grain and grass, the matter of rewarding soldiers for meritorious service, and the handling of prisoners, etc., until dawn when a few people dispersed.
Early in the morning, Li Yi went to the wounded barracks to visit the wounded soldiers.
Then he rushed to the prisoner camp without stopping, and he wanted to talk to King Xiaogu about the future of Nan Buyeo.
In the morning, Li Yi took a group of generals to bid farewell to Jian Shuo, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and Liu He, the four envoys of the Son of Heaven.
On the way to see them off, Li Yi and Yuan Shao talked happily and felt very close to each other.
At noon, Li Yi didn't even bother to eat, and even wrote several recitals and documents. After Tai Shi Ci and Tian Yu transcribed it, they stamped it with Li Yi's seal and immediately sent it out on an eight-hundred-mile fast ride.

The war in Liaodong came to an end for the time being, but the war in Xiliang became more and more intense. After the imperial expeditionary army led by Zhang Wen achieved a "great victory", the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty fell into the excitement of the high dynasty. However, when they came to their senses from Gao Chaozhong. Unexpectedly, it was found that Xiliang's embarrassing situation did not improve in the slightest, and even fell into an even more embarrassing situation.
After getting the heavy money and food that Zhou Shen "helplessly" discarded, the Xiliang rebels, who had been replenished, launched a counterattack against the imperial court Western Expeditionary Army again, and drove the Western Expeditionary Army back to Sili in one go, and the entire Xiliang fell into the hands of the rebels again.
In the face of the fierce attack of the Xiliang rebels, the Manchu civil and military people were panicked and incompatible.
Situ Cuilie proposed to abandon Liangzhou at the court meeting, and Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, ordered the hundred officials to discuss it at the court meeting. The court officials led by Yuan Kui and Xu Xiang all agreed and thought that Cui Lie's opinion was Lao Cheng's serious words, and they thought that Xiliang was remote. Even if it is lost to the rebels, it is nothing, and it also reduces the cost of expropriation and suppression by a large amount, which is conducive to the stability of the country.
Naturally, many people oppose such remarks, especially Fu Xie, who is the most fierce. After listening to the words of Cui Lie and the others, he was furious, stood up and said sharply: "Behead Situ and the others, and the world will be stable!" ”
Shang Shulang Yang Zan came out to impeach Fu Xie for "insulting ministers above the court".
That's it. The main battle faction and the main peace faction in the court began to tear apart again, all kinds of exquisite rhetoric floated on the court, and even began to attack life and body, as for whether to exterminate or appease the Xiliang rebels. But no one pays attention anymore.
Looking at the messy court, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty was also very angry, he flicked his sleeves and turned away, leaving a place of chicken feathers in the court.
Liu Hong, who returned to Beigong, was so angry in his heart. Zhang Wen's rice buckets exterminated the rebels in Xiliang and cost the court billions of dollars. As a result, the fart effect is not. On the contrary, Li Yi, who exterminated the rebels in Liaodong, not only did not cost the imperial court much money, but let him also make a windfall and earn billions. If all the courtiers were as useful as Li Yi, how good would it be, not only did they not have to worry about the affairs of the court, but they could also make a fortune.
However, thinking of the fortune he made with Li Yi, turning around and being thrown into the bottomless pit of Xiliang, Liu Hong, Emperor of Han Ling, was not beautiful again.
After thinking about it, Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, instructed a little yellow door to find Fu Xie.
Liu Hong asked Fu Xie why he scolded Cui Lie and other court officials who were ranked as the third duke, and Fu Xie explained: "When the Xiongnu Shan Yu Maodun rebelled against the Empress Dowager Lu, the general Fan Xu boasted that 'I wish to get 100,000 people and run rampant among the Huns', so loyal and patriotic, Ji Bu still said that Fan Xu could be beheaded. Liangzhou is the key to the world, the national vassal guard, Gaozu and Li Shang pacified the Longyou region, Emperor Shizong Han Wu opened up Liangzhou, set up four counties, at that time people thought that this was like cutting off the right arm of the Huns. Now the governance of Liangzhou is chaotic, there is rebellion, the world is in turmoil, and His Majesty is difficult to sleep and eat. Cui Lie, Xu Xiang, Yuan Kui and others, with their status as ministers, could not share the country's worries, but they wanted to cut off a territory of thousands of miles, I was puzzled by this. If the alien race is allowed to obtain Liangzhou, it will launch a more powerful offensive, which is the biggest evil result! If Cui Lie doesn't know this truth, he is ignorant, and if he does it knowingly, then he is disloyal to His Majesty! ”
Liu Hong agrees with Fu Xie's opinion.
Since then, all the officials in the imperial court have been afraid of Fu Xie's outspokenness, and whenever there is a vacancy in the position of minister, everyone recommends Fu Xie to serve as him. In fact, everyone knows that this is impossible, because Fu Xie's qualifications are not enough, and he has a bad relationship with eunuchs, plus Fu Xie is an upright person and will not pay money to buy officials, but Liu Hong, the son of heaven, is an emperor who has fallen into the eyes of money, and he will not make such an appointment without money.
………………
The farce in the court, Li Yi, who was in Liaodong, had also heard of it, and he was also discussing this matter with several of his subordinates. The reason why Li Yi discussed this issue with the strategists was mainly because the situation in Liaodong today, and even the situation in Youzhou as a whole, is very similar to Xiliang.
Li Yi now has a lot of strategists, Xu Maogong, Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Xun You, Tian Feng, all of whom are undoubtedly the best among the cultural people of this era. But it is precisely because everyone is resourceful and advanced that it is difficult to have a unified opinion with each other. On the issue of Xiliang, everyone also had different opinions and did not reach any consensus.
However, when everyone was talking, Jia Xu specifically mentioned a famous person named Wang Fu in Xiliang, and he was very respectful of his proposal to govern Xiliang.
Li Yi said strangely: "Wenhe, the Mr. Wang you are talking about, is he very famous in Western Xinjiang?" How I haven't heard of it. ”
Jia Xu's eyes widened and he looked at him in disbelief, as if looking at an idiot.
Li Yi looked embarrassed at him and smiled awkwardly.
Xun Yu explained in a low voice: "Xiliang's celebrity, this Mr. Wang should be ranked first. ”
Li Yi complained softly: "Brother Wenruo, you are too uninteresting, why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”
Xun Yu was dumbfounded, he said in his heart that this is not a major military incident, and that Wang Fu is in Xiliang, thousands of miles away, and he can't fight with Liaodong Eight Poles, what am I telling you to do? I'm looking for trouble.
"Has the lord heard of Ma Rong?" Jia Xu glanced at Li Yi very unhappily and asked.
Li Yi nodded. Ma Rong is the grandson of Ma Yuan, a famous general of this dynasty, who is known as "Confucianism" and is known all over the world.
"There are two other people who are as famous as Ma Rong, one is Wang Fu of Xiliang Anding, and the other is Zhang Heng of Nanyang." Jia Xu said.
Li Yixin said, this Wang Fu seems to be really the number one person, and he can be as famous as Zhang Heng.
In fact, as a traveler in later generations, Li Yi knows more about Zhang Heng. Without it, the fame of the two things invented by this old gentleman is really too great, one is the armillary sphere, the other is the geodynamic instrument, which is praised as the "science saint" by later generations, and the sage Jiang Ziya, the merchant saint Fan Li, the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing, and the wisdom saint Zhuge Liang together, known as the "five saints of Nanyang", the name of the eternal.
Speaking of which, Li Yi couldn't help but admire, Nanyang is indeed worthy of being a place of outstanding people.
Nanyang has a superior geographical location and convenient transportation. It is the traffic artery of Henan, Hubei, Sichuan and Shaanxi.
As the old saying goes: The mountain is not high, but the name is immortal. The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. Nanyang Nandu Emperor Township is the birthplace of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, and has achieved the reign of the Eastern Han Dynasty for 200 years. The beautiful landscape endowed Nanyang with an endless aura and gave birth to five legendary figures in Chinese history: the five saints of Nanyang, Jiang Ziya, the sage of Shang, Fan Li, the sage of science, Zhang Heng, the sage of medicine, Zhang Zhongjing, and the sage Zhuge Liang. These outstanding figures have made great contributions to the promotion of Chinese culture and have become the most brilliant pearls of Chinese culture.
Li Yi said in surprise: "Oh, if you can be as famous as Ma Rong and Zhang Heng, then this old Mr. Wang must be a very remarkable person." ”
"The lord is right. The old gentleman is upright by nature and uninhibited. He is not used to the vices of officialdom, and he has never been a leader in his life. The old gentleman is erudite and well-read, well-versed in classics, and writes books and lectures in the secluded township, talking about the way to govern the country and secure the people. Jia Xu said with a look of admiration, "The old gentleman is a great Confucian in the northwest frontier, and he is close friends with Ma Rong, Zhang Heng, Cui Ying and other great Confucian celebrities, and he is also a close friend of General Huangfu's late uncle, General Huangfu Gui. When General Huangfu Gui dismissed the official and returned to his hometown, Taishou didn't see him, and as soon as Wang Fu arrived, the general was shocked. ”
"The old gentleman is unwilling to let his spirit be bound by the world, nor is he willing to let his pure ideals collide with the dirty reality, so he is willing to be a hermit and call himself a 'hidden husband'. The old gentleman spent his whole life writing a huge and systematic work called "The Theory of the Hidden Husband". In the book, he criticized the political, economic, cultural, military, customs, and social life of the Han Kingdom and put forward methods for governance reform. Mr. Wang has his own unique views and opinions on the affairs of Xiliang. Jia Xu said, "He put forward many suggestions for stabilizing and developing Xiliang. (To be continued.) )
