After the order was conveyed, the court was quiet for a while. It wasn't until Liu Bei took a deep breath and shouted his thanks loudly that the civil and military officials in the court reacted.
Just now, it seems that the emperor worshiped Liu Bei as the pastor of Liangzhou, right?
What's happening here?
In the past, all the mainstream speculations in the Manchu Dynasty were speculating that Liu Bei would be promoted to a high-ranking official in the Nine Ministers. No matter how unlucky they were, they would think that Liu Bei could take up the post of governor in the land of Sanhe and raise his level to more than two thousand shi, so that he would be worthy of him. military merit.
But no one, please note, no one has ever raised the possibility of Liu Bei becoming the shepherd of Liangzhou.
No one had made such a guess beforehand.
No one in the Ancient Literature School thinks like this, and no one even in the Modern Literature School thinks this way. Everyone agrees that Liu Bei will circle around in the central system, gain a high position, continue to compete for power with the Modern Literature School, and then take over the highest authority and take over the modern world with one punch. The literary school was beaten down.
So the Jinwen School was very worried.
But now, Liu Bei has received a high military rank and title, but in terms of specific position arrangement, he is Liangzhou Mu.
Indeed, the Zhou Mu is not simple. The Zhou Mu is the holder of full military and political power. He is the ruler of a state, the immediate boss of the prefect, and the actual official of the feudal territory. He has great power and is generally not appointed by the court. Currently, the only Zhou Mu in the world is Liu Bei’s teacher, Lu Zhi.
But when the prefix Liangzhou is superimposed on this state animal husbandry, the situation becomes a little different.
Liangzhou Mu.
Liangzhou is the least populous and most desolate among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty. It is also the state with the most frequent wars and the most difficult to govern. It is also the "chosen place" that almost lost its "Han nationality" twice.
Being appointed as a frontier official with great power in such a place, Manchu Dynasty was a little confused at first. For a while, it was not clear whether Liu Bei had been reused or pushed to the fringes of the country.
No one could figure out the intention behind this appointment, and everyone felt extremely puzzled by it.
Friends and enemies alike, no one knew what the appointment was all about.
How did the emperor view this outstanding Han clan member?
They were all confused.
Only Liu Bei was not confused at all. On the contrary, he was trying his best to suppress his joy.
Zheng'er Bajing's being granted the title of Prefecture Mu not only means that he has full military and political power in Liangzhou, but also means that he is qualified to Zheng'er Bajing to build his own forces, give them Zheng'er Bajing's subordinate status, and establish Zheng'er Bajing The second level of monarch relationship.
It turns out that everything is emotional and practical, lacking a name, and this name is precisely indispensable.
And all these problems were solved when Liu Bei was granted the position of Liangzhou Mu. With Liangzhou's current semi-collapsed status, Liu Bei had a huge gap to exploit, and he could even take advantage of the loopholes in the rules to do whatever he wanted. Horse racing.
As long as Liu Bei is given more than a year, he will be able to create a highly efficient military and political system for himself, and he is confident that he can handle this situation well in Liangzhou.
If the problem in Liangzhou can be solved, the problem in Luoyang will not be a big problem in the future.
However, Liu Bei's thoughts were only his own. Regarding this matter, both his friends and enemies were very shocked. After the shock, they became very emotionally complicated.
The family was somewhat reluctant about this matter.
The mother was very unhappy. When she got home, she held Liu Bei's hand and kept complaining, saying that the court was not considerate of Liu Bei, always letting him go to the most dangerous places, and being merciless.
Han Rong was very confused.
Because the state animal husbandry is indeed a very important symbol of trust and reuse, but the problem is that this state animal husbandry is the state animal husbandry of Liangzhou. Even if there is no war in Liangzhou, it is not a good place to go, not to mention that Liangzhou is now in a state of one and a half A state of paralysis.
Isn't being a state pastor at this time the same as being a firefighter?
Is this really good?
Shouldn't Liu Bei be promoted to the high position of Jiuqing and enjoy the glory and wealth in Luoyang?
Han Ning and Han Xiaodie didn't have too many feelings, because Liu Bei would take them with him, and the three of them could still stay together for a long time, but the problem of the child was a little difficult.
This is the case with his family, many of his friends, and the same is true with the elders who have expectations for Liu Bei.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao helped Liu Bei analyze it, and found out that this must be the work of the Jinwen School. The Jinwen School used Liu Bei's merits and holy family members to make the emperor think that Liu Bei was a suitable candidate to solve the Liangzhou problem. So let Liu Bei stay in Liangzhou.
It was the same method they used to prevent Lu Zhi from coming back and being promoted to the position of Sangong. They just didn't want the elites of the Ancient Literature School who had made great contributions to stay in Luoyang to increase the power of the Ancient Literature School.
This must be a conspiracy of the Jinwen school!
Yuan Shao was filled with righteous indignation at this and said that everyone should join the table to oppose Liu Bei's appointment in Liangzhou, and used the table offensive to make the Jinwen school feel the threat of the storm.
Yuan Shao didn't want Liu Bei to go to Liangzhou. If Liu Bei went to Liangzhou, he felt that he would lose the opportunity to win over Liu Bei at close range and make Liu Bei an important assistant for him to ascend to a high position in the future.
Cao Cao also had the same idea. He didn't want Liu Bei to leave Luoyang. Of course, he didn't have too many ideas. He just couldn't stand it.
He wanted to mobilize Cao's connections among the eunuchs and intercede for Liu Bei.
Liu Bei spent a lot of effort to persuade them not to do this.
It's very difficult for me to do this.
I really want to go to Liangzhou.
Coincidentally, the elders of the Ancient Literature School also had the same view on Liu Bei's appointment as the pastor of Liangzhou. They unanimously believed that this was a conspiracy of the Modern Literature School. The Modern Literature School must not see the merits of the Ancient Literature School, so they operated in secret to promote Liu Bei. Taking up the post of Liangzhou Mu.
This move is so beautiful!
On the surface, it was given great power, but in fact it was to transfer Liu Bei away from the central government, and to allow Liu Bei, who could have taken up the high position of Jiuqing to help the ancient literature school to improve its situation, to leave Luoyang. He could not help the ancient literature school to continue to charge forward, so that they could get a chance to breathe.
The emperor and the eunuchs had some despicable intentions and must have been happy to see this happen, so they followed the evil intentions of the Jinwen school and asked Liu Bei to leave Luoyang.
What a cruel thought!
Insects, all insects!
Yuan Wei, who has been having a bad temper recently, was very angry during the meeting at Zheng Xuan's mansion. He used foul language to the eunuchs and the Jinwen school, and he almost went to the eunuchs and the Jinwen school with a knife to settle accounts.
Xun Shuang's mood was slightly better, but not much better, and he was quite unhappy.
Fu Qian, Zheng Tai, Jia Xi, Cai Yong and other school leaders also have the same view.
Zheng Xuan looked at Liu Bei at that time, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.
"Xuande, if you think this is unfair to you, we can try to appeal to the court."
Of course Liu Bei didn't want them to get involved.
"Now that the emperor has issued an edict, if we continue to argue, it will only make the emperor dissatisfied. If the emperor is dissatisfied, it will not do any good to the school. Although Liangzhou pastoralism is difficult and remote, it is not a test for Bei. , Bei has no intention of rejecting the appointment."
Yuan Wei became anxious upon hearing this.
"Xuande, Liangzhou is dangerous. You must not think that becoming a state pastor is a good thing. You are still young and have no experience in governing the place. You don't know that the place is dangerous. It is best to stay in Luoyang. What’s more, the school needs you.”
"Our Ancient Literature School is full of talents, and we don't just need to prepare one person."
Liu Bei shook his head: "And in the current situation, it is impossible for Bei not to go. Since the emperor has given the order, if Bei disobeys the order, the Jinwen School will definitely make a big fuss. The best result will not be better than Bei taking the initiative to go to Liangzhou now. What do you think?"
Yuan Wei opened his mouth, thinking about the virtues of emperors and eunuchs, and imagining the virtues of those bastards from the Modern Literature School, and suddenly he had a look of unwillingness on his face.
Yuan Wei is like this, and so are many other people.
Only Zheng Xuan seemed to be open-minded. After being silent for a while, he took the initiative to express his support for Liu Bei to go to Liangzhou.
"Actually, it may not be a bad thing for Xuande to leave Luoyang at this moment. He is young and has a lot of merit. If he stays in Luoyang rashly, he will definitely become the target of public criticism. At this moment, he stays away from Luoyang, keeps a low profile, accumulates experience, and waits for the opportunity. Maybe it would be better to return to Luoyang when he matures."
Zheng Xuan had said this, and the other bosses had no better way, so they had no choice but to "suffer this loss", and then scolded Yang Ci ten thousand times in his heart, cursing him to die early.
But to everyone's expectation, the day after the news that Liu Bei would be the pastor of Liangzhou spread throughout Luoyang, the news of Yang Ci's death came out.
It is said that the reason is also related to Liu Bei.
Yang Ci's death is quite funny.
After Liu Bei accepted the appointment in the court, Yang Biao went to court and returned home with deep joy, and told Yang Ci the news that Liu Bei was inexplicably appointed as the shepherd of Liangzhou.
When Yang Ci, who was seriously ill, heard about this, his eyes lit up and he was overjoyed.
"Hahahahaha! God helps me! God helps me! Liu Bei, as long as he can't stay in Luoyang, the situation is still in our hands! Hahahaha! Do you really think that the emperor and the eunuchs are on their side? Hahahaha! They They are just the playthings of the emperor and the eunuchs! The future of scholars belongs to us! It belongs to us! Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha..."
Then Yang Ci continued to laugh wildly, laughing so loudly that he couldn't stop laughing at all. Yang Biao was about to persuade his father not to laugh so hard, but suddenly he heard Yang Ci say "uh" and stopped laughing. His eyes were blank. Staring at the roof, saying nothing.
Then there was twitching all over.
Yang Biao and other Yang family members were shocked and quickly ordered someone to call a doctor to diagnose and treat Yang Ci. However, before the doctor could run out of the house, Yang Ci had already died and lay motionless on the bed.
This wave, this wave is not simple. To summarize briefly, it is one by one.
Liu Xuande planned for the country to last forever and took office in Liangzhou.
Yang Boxian fell ill and heard the good news and died on the spot!
