In fact, it doesn't matter whether this kind of thing is true or false. The qi gao magician only needs to say that it is right and it doesn't matter if it is not right. He can just fool it.
Since ancient times, there have been thousands of prophecies, and countless of them have failed. But as long as one or two are right, it is enough to shock the world.
As long as the world feels that there really are people who can predict the future, the profession of aura magician will always be popular, and prophecy will always have a market.
Therefore, Dong Fu didn't care at all whether the Yizhou division was really emperor-like. He just needed a decent person to relieve Yizhou's troubles, so he used his career and professional skills to do this.
"I have lived to be eighty years old. Is it possible to tell lies?"
Liu Yan's face was full of disbelief.
"This matter is of great importance and is related to the imperial lineage of the Han Dynasty. Why did Mr. Dong tell me instead of telling the emperor?"
"Why do you think Jun Lang thinks so?"
Dong Fu blinked and looked at Liu Yan with a smile.
The non-existent guess in Liu Yan's mind suddenly came true.
"Dong Gong, I am a member of the Han clan, and I will not do anything that goes against the existence of the Han Dynasty."
Liu Yan swallowed and said with difficulty.
"Jun Lang, have I asked you to do anything that goes against the existence of the Han Dynasty?"
Dong Fu looked innocent: "Jun Lang, I just told you that Yizhou Branch has the spirit of an emperor. I didn't say anything else. Do you think I said anything?"
He did just say this.
but……
When Dong Fu said this, Liu Yan suddenly remembered the corruption of Xi Jian, the governor of Yizhou, who had caused a lot of trouble in the court recently.
Xi Jian was a eunuch. For the benefit of the eunuch and his own benefit, he cleverly set up a name to collect taxes in the position of Yizhou governor. He not only took advantage of the common people, but also put his own hands into the money bags of the powerful local gentry in Yizhou. stretch.
He completely ignored the rules of each family and took advantage of them. He threatened this family today and threatened that family tomorrow, forcing them to give up large sums of benefits to himself and the eunuchs. He looked extremely ugly.
If a family member does not obey his blackmail, he will implement the policy and lead his group of minions to directly rob the family, without even a gentle policy.
As a result, in a short period of time, he caused public dissatisfaction in Yizhou to boil. From the common people at the bottom to the powerful families of the upper class, everyone hated him and wanted him to get out quickly.
The Dong family in Yizhou is also a well-known family with extensive property. Xi Jian will definitely compete with them at all costs in order to make money. The Dong family can't stand it and comes to ask Mr. Dong Fu.
It is estimated that not only the Dong family, but also most of the noble families and powerful people in Yizhou have united their goals and formed a united front. They want to drive Xi Jian away in one go and not allow him to continue to harm their Yizhou.
Mr. Dong is the most famous person in Yizhou in the capital, so they must have begged him.
But for Dong Fu, it was definitely not possible to do it directly. Xi Jian took the path of the eunuch, spent money to smoothen the relationship with the eunuch, and got the position of Yizhou governor, just to make money, and he did not get back the money he paid. He will never give up.
In order to protect their "reputation", the eunuchs would probably never tolerate Yizhou people easily getting rid of their business partners.
In this case, Mr. Dong was probably desperate and came up with this idea out of desperation.
After figuring this out, Liu Yan felt that Dong Fu wanted to make a deal with him, asking him to help the Yizhou people drive away Xi Jian and restore order. Then Dong Fu would use his reputation as a guarantee to help Liu Yan stand firm. Heel, let him avoid trouble in Yizhou.
Each side gets what it needs.
The roads in Yizhou are difficult to navigate. As long as the roads are cut off, outsiders can't get in and people inside can't get out. It's a perfect place to avoid disaster.
only……
"Dong Gong, the court's decision is not something I can influence. I don't know whether I can obtain this position."
"Whether Yizhou has the spirit of an emperor is something I can know, and whether he can obtain this position is something Junlang can know."
Dong Fu smiled and said, "If Jun Lang is interested, why not fight for it?"
Liu Yan was silent for a moment.
"If it's what you said, I will fight hard."
The two reached a tacit agreement, but no one expected that the situation would not go down like this.
A few days later, Liu Hong directly convened a court meeting and announced his decision at the court meeting.
In view of the financial difficulties of the imperial court, it was difficult to send out a large army to suppress the rebellion, so he decided to appoint a state pastor and allow the state pastor to raise his own troops and food to deal with the Yellow Turban Army.
He decided to appoint Zongzheng Liu Yu, the elder of the clan, to the position of Qingzhou Mu.
The elder of the clan, Taichang Liu Yan, was appointed to the position of Xuzhou Mu.
Huang Wan, an important minister of the imperial court and a great general craftsman, was appointed to the position of Yuzhou Mu.
All in all, in Liu Hong's view, the current situation has reached a point where it cannot be solved without using strong medicine. In view of the fact that Liangzhou has achieved good results under the rule of Liangzhou Mu Liu Bei, Liu Hong hopes that the three newly appointed state Muds can Follow Liu Bei's example and work hard to fulfill the responsibilities assigned to them by the court.
After this appointment was issued, the officials participating in the court meeting immediately began to discuss among themselves.
As for the three people who were appointed, Liu Yu looked normal, Huang Wan was a little excited, and Liu Yan looked confused.
what's the situation?
I was just about to apply to be appointed as Yizhou Pastor, why did you appoint me as Xuzhou Pastor?
Xuzhou is located in a place where four wars took place, so how can it compare with Yizhou?
And as a state shepherd in a place like this, how can I carry out the next plan?
Liu Yu didn't think much about it, but he felt that the burden on him was heavier. Huang Wan didn't think much about it, but he felt that the opportunity to be promoted to Sangong was beckoning to him. Only Liu Yan was panicked and unwilling to accept the appointment.
But in public, he really didn't know what to say.
Because there was no need to raise taxes or use the last money from the treasury to fight the war, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not have too many ideas. Anyway, this was not the first time to appoint a state pastor in recent years. The combination of important officials in the imperial court does not seem strange.
Of course, in addition to Liu Yan, Yuan Wei also noticed some disadvantages. He suspected that once Huang Wan performed a meritorious service, he might take up the position of three princes and compete with him for power, which was very detrimental to his plan.
He tried to dissuade Liu Hong from making such an appointment, but Liu Hong seemed to be here to announce the conclusion, not to discuss. He left quickly after announcing the appointment, leaving no chance for Yuan Wei to object.
Yuan Wei felt very unhappy, and felt that someone must have been slandering Liu Hongzheng in his ears, and needless to say, this person must be Zhang Rang.
Damn eunuch!
After the court meeting, Liu Yan quickly asked to see Liu Hong and told Liu Hong that he was not a talent capable of stabilizing Xuzhou. He hoped to obtain the position of Yizhou Mu and stabilize Yizhou for the imperial court.
"There have been a lot of rogue bandits and bandits causing trouble in Yizhou recently. With my talents, I am afraid that I cannot deal with a large-scale rebellion. I can only deal with a few rogue bandits. I also ask that your majesty have a discerning eye and choose another virtuous person to serve as the pastor of Xuzhou."
Liu Hong was very dissatisfied with Liu Yan's request.
"The governor of Yizhou is still in office. It's just a trivial thief. As long as the governor solves it, since there is no big problem, why should we appoint a state pastor? The Han clan clan is in a high position and should take care of the country's worries. Why should Junlang shirk it? Isn't he unwilling to serve the Han Dynasty? Do you want to fight for the throne?"
When Liu Hong said this, Liu Yan almost cried without tears.
He really didn't want to go to Xuzhou, but for Liu Hong's sake, could he not go?
If he doesn't go, his future career may be ruined.
So Liu Yan could only accept the appointment with great reluctance and prepare to go to Xuzhou.
