In the palace in Xiyuan, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was leaning on the dragon chair, with several palace maids surrounding him fanning him, while two groups of ministers began to report on state affairs.
In the main hall, the discussion about the state affairs was nothing more than the battle damage caused by the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the depletion of the national treasury. Even though Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was ignorant and unprincipled, he was also worried at this time.
Liu Yan stepped out of the queue and cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, now there are bandits everywhere, powerful and powerful soldiers are self-respecting, the dragon veins have collapsed, and the local administration cannot be eliminated. The ministers suggest that the state pastoral system be re-implemented so that officials can guard the local areas and the royal family can be reestablished. Prestige!" Finally got down to business, and the legendary state pastoral system finally opened a new era. Although the governor had power in the past, military power had always been in the hands of the imperial court. The local troops could only simply maintain law and order, patrol and detect thieves, while the prefectural governor had the right to establish a shogunate, the power to recruit troops independently, and had relatively independent finances and In terms of personnel appointments and removals, even officials at the county level can appoint themselves. Therefore, after the end of the Han Dynasty, local political power would not be able to lose its power. This has been a truth since ancient times.
Liu Hong was helpless at this time. Now that the Han Dynasty was weak and was overwhelmed by the nobles, relatives and Shichang attendants, he could only let the relatives of the Han Dynasty go to various places to stabilize the political power.
Therefore, at this canonization ceremony, Liu Hong and the Han clan performed a double act. Liu Yan was named Yizhou Mu, guarding Sichuan and Shu to deter the Southern Barbarians. Liu Yu was named Youzhou Mu, guarding Youzhou to deter Karasuma and others. A minority in the north, Liu Biao is the herdsman of Jingzhou, guarding the state at the center of the world!
The emperor Liu Hong gave three imperial swords passed down from the ancestors of the Han Dynasty to each of them. The Han Dynasty has inherited it to this day, and the sage kings of the past dynasties have used dragon power to forge imperial swords that represent their identity, namely the White Rainbow Sword, the Xuanhong Sword, the Red Rainbow Sword, and the Red Rainbow Sword. Orange rainbow sword, golden rainbow sword, green rainbow sword, green rainbow sword, blue rainbow sword and purple rainbow sword! These nine emperor's swords were the swords of dragon power forged by nine outstanding emperors in the history of the Han Dynasty and nourished by the dragon energy they wore. After hundreds of years, the Han Dynasty has only handed down the Xuanhong Sword and the Red Rainbow Sword. There are five emperor swords: , Jinhong Sword, Qinghong Sword and Purple Rainbow Sword. The rest were either damaged or lost due to changes in government or usurpation of power by powerful officials!
This time to suppress the Yellow Turbans, Emperor Liu Hong gave the Golden Rainbow Sword, Qinghong Sword, and Purple Rainbow Sword to Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, and Lu Zhi respectively. The three Emperor Swords were given to Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, and Lu Zhi when the class teacher returned to the court. The three have returned it to the treasury. Each emperor's sword has been nourished by the dragon heat of the emperors of the past dynasties, and has the power to mobilize dragon veins to control the vitality of the world in battle. Although the dragon vein system of the Han Dynasty has collapsed, the emperor's sword can still mobilize the dragon veins scattered among the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth. Liu Hong plans to let Three people holding swords rebuilt the three-state dragon vein system!
The Xuanhong Sword is the symbol of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the White Rainbow Sword, which is the symbol of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, is the most powerful. However, when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, this sword disappeared with the suppression of the rebellion. Today, it represents the dignity of the royal family. The Xuan Hong Sword, this sword is also called the Sword of the Emperor!
At this time, Liu Hong gave the Qinghong Sword to Liu Yu, the Purple Rainbow Sword to Liu Yan, and the Golden Rainbow Sword to Liu Biao! This made Liu Dai, Liu Yao and other Han clan members in the court envious. However, Liu Yu and Liu Yan were the emperor's uncles. They had great influence in the Han clan, and Liu Biao was famous all over the world. He was young and At that time, he was known as the most talented man in the world, and now he is known as a wise king in his middle age. Liu Hong allowed him to control Jing Xiang, which shows his trust in him!
These three royal relatives held the post of state shepherds and held the Emperor's Sword, which had the power to kill first and report later. They basically restored the power of the previous kings with different surnames. After the three received the emperor's sword from Liu Hong, they then began to appoint governors of each state. After the Yellow Turban During the rebellion, some governors and prefects of prefectures and counties were killed. There were three canonized governors, the first of whom was Dong Zhuo, because he replaced Lu Zhi on the Jizhou battlefield in the Yellow Turban War and led the Xiliang cavalry with great achievements in the battle against the Yellow Turban bandits. Coupled with the deliberate cultivation of General He Jin, Dong Zhuo became a feudal official and was canonized as the governor of Liangzhou! The second one is Jiao He. This person is a son of a noble family. He is familiar with classics and history. He is recognized as the mainstay of Confucianism and Taoism who can succeed Zhu Jun in the three great Confucian classes in the future. He looks scholarly and was canonized as the governor of Qingzhou; the third person is Liu Yao, this person is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and was canonized as the governor of Yangzhou! It can be said that among the newly appointed governors of the six prefectures, four of them are clan members of the Han Dynasty. This shows that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was not completely stupid. The party took back the world of the Han family. As for Dong Zhuo, he was a famous general in Xiliang and powerful in Xirong because of his ability in fighting. Now, taking advantage of the weakness of the Han Dynasty, the ethnic minorities in Xiliang have gathered troops to stand on their own. The court can only rely on Dong Zhuo to guard Xiliang. As for Jiao He, although he has a high reputation among the scholars in the capital and is a representative of outstanding sons of the gentry, his appointment as governor should be the result of the game of power among all parties in the court. However, Qingzhou is now overrun with Yellow Turban bandits and Taishan bandits. , bandits were roaming all over Qingzhou, and the people were struggling to make a living. Without Dong Zhuo's bravery and the deterrence of the powerful Xiliang cavalry, it would be difficult for Jiao He to govern Qingzhou.
At this time, General He Jin stepped out and announced: "In order to show His Majesty the power of Heaven, a Heavenly Army will be formed in Xiyuan. Your Majesty will personally serve as the supreme general. The senior military academy captain Jian Shuo, the middle military academy captain Yuan Shao, and the lower military academy captain Bao Hong, Cao Cao, the commander of the Dian Army, Zhao Rong, the left commander of the assistant army, Feng Fang, the right commander of the assistant army, Xia Mou, the left commander, and Chunyu Qiong, the right commander!" The fifth battalion of the Northern Army has always guarded the imperial city of the Han Dynasty. It was inherited from the Eighth Battalion of the Northern Army formed by Emperor Wu. As a result, when Zhang Jiao led the Yellow Turban Bandits to surround the imperial city, the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army fled in despair. Many of the generals of the 5th Battalion of the Northern Army are descendants of nobles and royal families, and they usually receive high salaries. Moreover, many of their sons regard the Northern Army as a way to advance their career. In addition, after being exaggerated by the sensuality and debauchery, the 5th Battalion of the Northern Army has almost lost its status. Combat strength, the purpose of forming the Eighth Army of Xiyuan this time is to form a new guard army to replace the fifth battalion of the Northern Army. The generals are commanded by Emperor Liu Hong's confidant Jian Shuo, and each of them is given a Xuan-level artifact as a symbol of combat effectiveness. God's power.
The next step was to confer the title of county governor. Qin Ge and other seven people were announced to the main hall. The first to be conferred were Beihai Prefect Kong Rong and other sixteen county governors. Among these sixteen people, there were actually seven evolvers, namely The iron-blooded military soul of Yanhuang City, Xuanyuan Du of Xuanyuan City of the Xuanyuan family, Dongfang Changkong of Qinglong City, Zhu Lie of Suzaku City, Ximen City of White Tiger City, Beitang Xuance of Xuanwu City, and the last one is the Moon God of Heaven. Unexpectedly, these seven forces have also entered the Han Dynasty and become the masters of a county! While Qin Ge was stunned, he thought of the evolution conference in Jizhou. It seems that these evolution forces can talk about the world and have a certain confidence. However, only Kong Rong and three other people were present in the court, and the others were not there because they were not present. Although he was qualified to attend the celebration banquet in Xiyuan, he did not show up and waited outside Xiyuan.
When Qin Ge, Sun Jian and others were announced to the main hall, Liu Hong, who had been yawning all the time, suddenly became energetic and sat up from the dragon boat. He saw that the leader Sun Jian was as majestic as a tiger, and Ma Teng and others were also very capable. Like a wolf and a tiger, he said: "You are the seven newly promoted councilors! Sun Jian, the tiger from the east of the Yangtze River, Ma Teng, the wolf from the northwest, and Qin Ge, the war tiger from the east mountain, tsk tsk! I heard that Qin Ge, you are still a stranger! Don't You are kneeling, stand up and let me see!" Liu Hong spoke weakly, but at this time he cheered up. After hearing this, Sun Jian and others stood up one after another and raised their heads to look at Liu Hong.
Seeing that Sun Jian, Ma Teng and others were all extraordinary in martial arts, Liu Hong's face showed a bit of joy and said: "My dear friends are all talented people in the world. I have heard of your names for a long time. I canonize you as Yilang and become the emperor's disciples." , I just hope that you can continue to serve the country loyally in the future, eh! Father! Let’s enthrone him!”
Zhang Rang took out the imperial edict and began to read out: "Consecration, Sun Jian is the governor of Changsha, Ma Teng is... canonize Qin Ge as the right servant of the supervising government!" Zhang Rang conferred the titles one by one, and Sun Jian and others came out to thank them, and when he read When Qin Ge was named, he also conferred the title of Right Servant She, a member of the Jiuqing Shaofu who was in charge of the construction of the house. Qin Ge was obviously stunned. Sun Jian, Ma Teng and other six people were canonized as county guards, and also served as captains of the prefecture, and controlled some of them. The military power of the state capital, but he was actually appointed as the right servant to supervise the construction. Damn it...Qin Ge now knew that Liu Dai, the bastard, had evil thoughts.
Liu Hong was also paying more attention to Sun Jian and others at this time. When he finally heard about the canonization of Qin Ge, he also showed a look of confusion. He stared at Qin Ge and said: "Qin Ge, I heard that you are a strange person, but I am still the first among them." This is the first time I’ve met a stranger. I think he’s no different from us! It’s just your strength..."
Qin Ge suddenly knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty! The sage said: 'Plan your own affairs in your position'! Qin was born in the grassland of Mount Tai, and met many rough men from the countryside. With his passion, he surrendered to the imperial court. Although he has done a small job in suppressing the bandits, a vulgar and reckless man with a foreign body serving in the capital may bring disgrace to the court!" Qin Ge, a reckless man, said these words in a formal manner and stood in the main hall. Cao Cao, who was at the bottom of the table, almost laughed. Qin Ge seemed to have really learned a lot from Master Zhu on his way back to the capital.
"Bastard! Who are you, surnamed Qin? How can you be allowed to be so presumptuous in the imperial court! Offending the power of Heaven..." Liu Dai saw the opportunity to come out and directly put a big hat on him. Everyone in the hall was Who among the important ministers in the court would care about a country boy? They could take the opportunity to prepare to convict Qin Ge and then kill him directly.
Cao Cao's expression also changed slightly. Qin Ge had indeed committed a big taboo at this time. He was about to go out to plead for him, but Yuan Shao on the side raised his hand to stop him. Liu Dai represented the Han clan. This time, the Han clan was enthroned in the main hall. The relative was reused, which showed that the Han clan was still powerful. Cao Cao's words at this time were bound to offend the Han clan. Several soldiers also swarmed in from the door. For a while, Qin Ge seemed to be in a dead end. Sun Jian, Ma Teng and others who were kneeling next to Qin Ge had sorrow on their faces. Last night they were all brothers, but now they can only watch Qin Ge...
