Chapter 694: Shangdang is too guarded
The reason why Liu Yuan was able to become the party taishou was actually very accidental, if it wasn't for Liu Yin's mutiny in Luoyang at that time, Liu Yuan probably wouldn't have had a chance to get his hands on this two-thousand-stone position.
When he was in Luoyang, Liu Yuan's identity was actually very embarrassing, he came to Luoyang, neither as an official nor as a businessman, but was detained in Luoyang as a hostage.
Liu Yuan was a descendant of Mao Dunshan Yu, the leader of the Xiongnu during the Western Han Dynasty. Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, married a daughter of the clan as a princess to Mao Dun Shan Yu, and made an appointment with Mao Dun Shan Yu as a brother, so the descendants of Mao Dun Shan Yu all took Liu as their surname.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu split into two parts, one was the Northern Xiongnu, which continued to stay in the desert, and the other was the Southern Xiongnu, who moved south and entered the Xihe area of Bingzhou, where they lived together with the Han people. During the Zhongping period, Liu Yuan's grandfather Yu Fuluo called Shan Yu, taking advantage of Dong Zhuo's rebellion and the chaos in the Central Plains, he raised troops to attack Taiyuan, Hedong, and Hanoi, plundering countless times, and his power grew.
After Yu Fuluo's death, his position was inherited by his son Hu Chuquan, and Yu Fuluo's other son, Liu Bao, was named King Zuoxian, and Liu Bao was Liu Yuan's father.
Later, after Cao Cao unified the north, he deeply felt the power of the Huns, fearing that they would make a rebellion, and took advantage of the opportunity of Huchuquan to enter the pilgrimage to detain him in Yecheng and not return it, and at the same time divided the Huchuquan into five parts, divided and ruled, so as to divide the power of the Huns. Liu Bao was named the commander of the left and ruled the left part of the Xiongnu. The left part of the Xiongnu is in the territory of Xihe County, on the west bank of Fenshui, occupying a land of abundant water and grass, and the left part of the Xiongnu has also become one of the tribes second only to the central part of the five.
In order to control the Xiongnu tribes, the Wei court has always had a tradition of asking the Xiongnu tribes to send their sons to Luoyang as hostages, and Liu Yuan, as the son of Liu Bao, naturally became a hostage and has been living in Luoyang for a long time.
Staying in the capital of Wei for a long time, Liu Yuan was deeply influenced by Han culture, which made this seemingly fierce Xiongnu man grow in knowledge and talent by leaps and bounds, and became a genius with both civil and military cultivation. Liu Yuan is eight feet three inches tall, extremely burly and strong, his appearance is extraordinary, his strength is amazing, he is good at using three stones to strengthen the bow, and he can practice one-handed riding and archery skills, and can open the bow left and right.
It was precisely because of his excellent martial arts that at the most urgent juncture of the Luoyang Incident, Wang Ji recommended Liu Yuan to Sima Yan. At that time, the situation was extremely urgent, and Sima Yan saw Liu Yuan come forward, and immediately agreed that Liu Yuan would be the Taishou of the Shangdang and go out of the Jin Palace to fight the rebels.
Although Liu Yuan is extremely brave, he is still outnumbered, but he is still extremely lucky.
If I am not mistaken, Liu Yuan was frantically chased and killed by many fierce generals at that time, and even Liu Yuan couldn't help but feel inexplicable, didn't he just fight for Sima Yan, how could he become the target of public criticism, the other party seemed to want to take his life at all costs, and Sima Yan, who was placed in the palace of the King of Jin, did not fight, but wanted to give himself trouble. Liu Yuan even shouted bad luck, but fortunately, he was superb in martial arts, and he fought desperately to find a bloody way, so he finally did not give his life to Luoyang City.
After the Luoyang Incident, Sima Yan really didn't say anything, and named Liu Yuan as the party guard, and Keri went to work.
This appointment really made Liu Yuan excited for a while, first of all, he could get rid of the status of a hostage, and he didn't have to live a life of relying on people in Luoyang, second, the party was too shou but an official position of 2,000 stones, such a high-level official position, whether it was the Cao Wei period or the ****** era, there was no precedent for granting the Hu people, this was undoubtedly the first time that the Huns served as a high-ranking official of the Han people.
The official position of 2,000 stones is a watershed, used to distinguish between high-level and low-level officials, and being able to step into the ranks of 2,000 stones is equivalent to a qualitative change in the career. Although the Huns also had a precedent of serving as officials in the Wei State before, the highest position was only about a thousand stones, and they all belonged to the auxiliary type of officials.
In Luoyang, a prosperous and rich place, for a long time, Liu Yuan's ambitions are also expanding step by step, if he is young, he will set his ambition, hoping to become the Huns' single Yu, unify the five departments, and be the real king of the grassland, so now Liu Yuan must disdain his own idea, the king of the grassland, that is also a thief, Liu Yuan dreams that one day he can win the world and compete in the Central Plains, and become the lord of the world.
Although this dream is somewhat unattainable, for Liu Yuan, who is only eighteen years old now, it is the time of youth and frivolity, there is no dream that he dare not do, and he does not dare to think of any grand ambitions, and taking the position of the party Taishou undoubtedly makes Liu Yuan see his own hope, the road to hegemony may be very long, but Liu Yuan is full of ambition and confidence at the moment.
For the sake of his own ideal, after Liu Yuan took office as the Taishou of the party, he was diligent and thrifty, and governed the party county in an orderly manner, which undoubtedly reflected Liu Yuan's ability to govern the country from one side.
Liu Yuan's appearance is not bad, born with vision, at that time, the world's most famous physiognomy master Cui Yizhi and Xiangling Gongshi Yu have shown Liu Yuan the appearance, thinking that Liu Yuan will become a great weapon in the future. To what extent is it considered a big thing, these two scholars did not explain, maybe they did not dare to explain, after all, there are some things that cannot be said nonsense.
However, Liu Yuan disagreed, is the natural vision so important, Liu Yuan is not as superstitious as Sima Yan, he believes that fame and wealth will never fall from the sky, if you don't work hard, in the end it can only be a bamboo basket for nothing, if you want to make achievements, you must struggle yourself.
Serving as the Taishou of the Shangdang, it did give Liu Yuan a stage to express himself, although the land of a county is not big, but it is enough as a touchstone, Liu Yuan is also extremely good in the appointment of the Taishou of the Shangdang, with his age before the weak crown, it is enough to be impressive.
Of course, Liu Yuan's ambition is not only this county, his vision is far-reaching, everything that happened on the land of the Central Plains has already been in his eyes, the world is full of chaos, this is an opportunity and a challenge, Liu Yuan climbed to the top of the middle strip, here, you can see the Yellow River meandering, the Central Plains is vast, and there are many people accompanying him, but no one has seen Liu Yuan's gaze, what kind of strange brilliance is flashing, at this moment Liu Yuan's heart is surging, asking himself, this vast land, who is the master of ups and downs?
However, at this moment, an edict from the capital Luoyang made Liu Yuan's dream suddenly shattered. (To be continued.) )
