"From now on, Liangzhou will be a pure land."
Liu Yu closed the memorial table and sighed softly.
Since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when Huo Qubing captured the four counties in Hexi, the entire territory of Liangzhou has maintained a state of mixture between Hu and Han.
A large number of Han people have close contacts with various tribes. Once something happens, those people who are not close to the barbarians will often be attacked.
Although it is not an intentional genocide, it is indeed a reality.
"There will be no more powerful rebellion in Liangzhou for at least a hundred years."
Finally, Liu Yu decided to continue to implement the child's behavior and always give Wei Young enough attention.
"Your Majesty, after this battle, the Zhang Mao family in Liangzhou will definitely suffer serious damage, and so will the rest of the Liangzhou clans. Why not take advantage of the chaos and really annex one family, or ten families, and no one will know about it."
Xi Jian put the fruit on a plate and said deeply.
After Liu Yu heard this, he was not eager to make the most difficult choice, but after taking away the child, he should not rush to take action against the remaining powerful people.
"I heard that when Ran Liang was chasing the rebels, Zhang Mao ordered his troops to attack in Jincheng and captured and killed more than 10,000 rebel men and women. There is no way to reward him immediately for this merit, so he should be promoted to Zhang first. Mao is the left eunuch of the minister."
"As for the position of Liangzhou governor, Zhang Mao is allowed to recommend him to take over."
Liu Yu already knew almost everything about the Battle of Jincheng.
He knew that when Ran Liang led his army to pursue the rebels, the defenders in the city had already blocked the city gate. When they wanted to send troops to beat the drowned dog, they were severely delayed.
If it weren't for their familiarity with the terrain, the Liangzhou soldiers would have gained some military merit.
I'm just afraid that the entire chase will turn into a performance by Ran Liang alone.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Mao's age and qualifications are too young. How can he be qualified for the important task of Zhongshu Zuojian." Xi Jian said with some surprise.
In Liu Yuxin's military and political team, the status of Zhongshu Sheng was greatly raised to the point of sharing the power of Shangshu Sheng.
Among them, the left and right eunuchs of Zhongshu Province, although slightly inferior in rank, are still counted as members of the Prime Minister.
The Zhang family in Liangzhou was just a remnant of the Jin Dynasty. Within three or two years, someone became the prime minister, which is really surprising.
"The position of Zhongshu Supervisor is high and powerful. Your Majesty, please think twice." Gongsun Sheng on the side also advised.
Faced with their doubts, Liu Yu didn't care at all.
"When the Zhang family in Liangzhou wanted to join us, I had already promised to retain their status and power in Liangzhou. Now that Zhang Mao has made great achievements, he should naturally be rewarded and promoted."
"As for the position of Zhongshu Zuojian, it is common sense that foreign governors should fill it."
Liu Yu spent a lot of effort to implement the three provinces and six ministries system of later generations.
This is a system that has undergone many changes from the official system of Qin and Han Dynasties.
It can be said that it has greatly strengthened the central government's ruling power. The rank of officials in each province has exceeded the "two thousand stones" category of state and county chiefs.
This brings up a problem.
How can we quickly replenish the number of officials that this official system lacks?
"Since the Zhang family in Liangzhou has made great contributions, they cannot but reward them. I heard that the Zhang family in Liangzhou is full of talents. Even if Zhang Mao is transferred, someone will definitely be able to take over."
Although Liu Yu said this, he didn't think so at all.
Wait until this edict reaches Liangzhou.
The entire Liangzhou was greatly shocked.
Zhang Shi and his younger brother Zhang Mao, who had retired from the throne, were also in trouble.
"Alas, today's move is really unprepared." Zhang Shi said sadly after hearing the edict.
"Yes, many people inside and outside Liangzhou are amazed that our Zhang family has been favored by the emperor. Not only can we serve as generals and prime ministers, but we can also continue to serve as governors of prefectures and counties, but few people can see the true intention of it. ." Zhang Mao said with a bitter smile.
"But they can't see that I, the Liangzhou Zhang family, can live without me, Zhang Shi, but now I cannot live without you."
Zhang Shi sighed again.
In Liu Yu's order, although Zhang Mao was given full trust, he was allowed to nominate the most talented people in the clan to serve as the governor of Liangzhou.
But the two brothers knew that once Zhang Mao was no longer the governor of Liangzhou, Zhang Shi, who had the invisible power, would be completely useless.
Although there are virtuous people in their clan, there are very few people who are both virtuous and can be completely united with them.
Although brothers of the same clan can still consolidate the power of the Zhang family.
But the power in Liangzhou will no longer be completely decided by brothers Zhang Shi and Zhang Mao.
Zhang Shi retreated into the darkness and continued his performance as a lonely loyal man in the Jin Dynasty. Maybe after a while, the play would come true.
Zhang Mao was far away in Luoyang at that time. Although he was ranked as the prime minister, he was one of the seven or eight prime ministers and assistants. He could not continue to maintain the situation in Liangzhou.
At that time, no matter who is elected, the power of the Zhang family in Liangzhou will be seriously weakened.
"The situation is like this. We can no longer resist. What's more, Ran Liang's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses outside the city have not retreated yet, so they may not be doing it for us to see."
Zhang Shi thought for a while and finally had to give in.
After Zhang Mao heard this, he had to accept it after thinking about it.
"Now that your Majesty is wiping out all the bandits in the world, he will definitely not tolerate any family separatistly ruling a state. If we can use this matter to help our Zhang family return to being ordinary ministers, it would be a good way."
After Zhang Mao calmed down, he also thought of this possibility.
Now the emperor is based in Huainan, supervising the construction of warships in preparation for going south to attack the Jin Dynasty.
The weak Jin Dynasty may not be able to sustain even one round. By that time, the world will really be unified.
When there are no more remnants of the Jin Dynasty that separatized Jiangdong, the Zhang family of the "princes" in Liangzhou will be the most eye-catching presence.
After all, apart from Liangzhou, which other state or county has received the position of governor of the clan one after another?
"The desire for power is charming. In other words, you and I were a little ignorant of current affairs and almost put the clan in danger."
Zhang Shi also quickly realized this problem.
If that day really comes, it will be difficult for him to abdicate his position like today when he is under public criticism.
"Brother is right. The Dou family in Hexi was able to help Emperor Guangwu consolidate the western frontier, and then he was able to become a minister and pass on wealth and honor for generations. He is a good role model for us."
Zhang Shi also nodded when he heard this.
"Then you nodded when you heard the words.
"" Zhang Shi asked.
"Brother, successor" big
Who do you think we should nominate to succeed the governor? "Zhang Shi asked.
"Brother, successor"
