Chapter 1 Assassination?(1/2)
With the country unified, the people living and working in peace and contentment, and the imperial army strong and strong, Liu Xuan seemed to be free for a while.
But in fact, today is busier than anyone else.
The Han Dynasty regained its strength. Liu Xuan, who used the dragon energy of the Han Dynasty to cultivate, finally made the dragon energy that had declined and was about to dissipate become strong again. At this time, what he saw when he looked inside represented the strength of the dragon energy.
The territory is now very different from what it was back then.
Not only has the territory expanded many times, but the golden color that symbolizes the strength of the dragon's energy is no longer limited to one place. With the passage of time, the gold slowly spreads to the entire territory, which means that the dragon's energy has re-condensed into
Integration, we no longer only react according to local conditions, but make corresponding changes according to the overall situation.
This kind of change cannot be said to be very good, but it will not cause any harm. Moreover, changing according to the overall situation is not completely without benefits: for example, if a natural disaster suddenly occurs somewhere, the natural disaster will not affect the changes of the entire dragon energy.
The strong dragon energy will suppress the impact of natural disasters to a minimum. To put it bluntly, as long as the overall dragon energy is strong, the Han Dynasty will basically not encounter any serious disasters, and even if it does, it will not cause dragons in this area.
The air suddenly dropped to a very low level.
What's more, the dragon energy of the Han Dynasty today does not simply evolve naturally based on the strength of the dynasty. There is also the existence of Liu Xuan, an emperor who practices based on dragon energy. As long as Liu Xuan does not die, even if the dynasty faces difficulties, the dragon energy will
It will not completely dissipate, but will remain at a certain level because of Liu Xuan and will never be able to drop again.
In other words - it is impossible to simply rely on natural disasters to destroy the Han Dynasty. The only way to overthrow the rule of the Han Dynasty is to kill Liu Xuan and overthrow the rule of the Han Dynasty by force.
But looking at the smiles on the faces of the people, it is estimated that even if someone pulls the flag, there won't be many people who will respond. Therefore, the only real threats to the Han are the many foreign races that are eyeing the Central Plains.
The Xianbei, Xiongnu, Goguryeo, Wuhuan, Qiang, and Di peoples surrounding the west and north of the Han Dynasty have always had a very strong desire for the richness of the Central Plains. If there is almost the slightest chance, they will raise troops to go south and then plunder.
When Dong Zhuo was in rebellion, the Xiongnu took the opportunity to go south. If Liu Xuan hadn't come out of nowhere and changed a lot of things, perhaps the disasters caused by these foreign tribes would have spread to the entire Sili area.
In the wars in the Northeast, Wuhuan's figure has never disappeared. In addition, the Qiang people in the northwest are in rebellion. In fact, the situation in the northwest is more complicated. The so-called thirty-six countries in the Western Regions are only part of it and cannot be reflected at all.
Out of the chaos on the west side.
In addition to these, there are also Southern Barbarians in the southwest. These people have always wanted to enter Shu and completely occupy this rich area.
Not to mention the long-standing problem in the southeast that has troubled successive Yangzhou shepherds: mountain crossing!
Strictly speaking, the Shanyue are not an ethnic group, because their composition is very complex, and there are even a considerable number of Han people. They are collectively called Shanyue or mountain people because they avoid the mountains and live in villages.
These people have always regarded the laws of the court as nothing, and do whatever they want. They have even raised troops to attack counties, which gave the local officials a headache - they can't control it; they can't fight it.
The Shanyue people took advantage of hiding in the inaccessible mountains and acted arbitrarily, but this did not work here with Liu Xuan. As soon as Jiangdong was pacified, Liu Xuan directly transferred Le Jin, Cao Hong and others there, and asked Xu Chu to lead a tiger
With the assistance of the guards, they traveled back and forth among the mountains in the south, killing people wantonly!
Anyone who does not obey the laws of the imperial court will be slaughtered!
This move shocked a considerable number of Shanyue people. After all, not all of them were desperadoes. Therefore, even if Liu Xuan did not issue an edict to appease him, some Shanyue people began to leave the mountains and actively try to integrate into the ordinary Han people.
in life.
For these people, Liu Xuan did not give any instructions: This means that the local prefects and county magistrates can make their own decisions. Liu Xuan can't make the decision on trivial matters, right? By taking this person back, he can also test the level of these people.
.
As a result, after the first batch of people were resettled by local officials as ordinary people, more people left the village and turned to live in the counties and villages set up by the Han Dynasty. Most of them were Han people who fled into the mountains at first, and gradually brought them with them.
Some ethnic minority Shanyue people emerged. In the end, except for a few die-hards, most Shanyue people began to live the lives of ordinary people.
At least they did not find that they were being discriminated against, and the people under the rule of the Han Dynasty were now living better and better. Not only did they not have to worry about food and clothing, they also had extra money to buy some wine and meat every now and then to improve their food. In addition, the Shanyue people often lived in the mountains.
Many people are good hunters. In addition to farming, they can also become hunters to earn some spare money.
Life is better than before, and there is no oppression. Only a fool would be willing to go back. This has slowly begun to solve the problem of Shanyue. As long as this continues for less than ten years, there will probably no longer be the name Shanyue in the southeast.
Of course, there will always be people who can't see the situation clearly. There is no need to be polite to these people. Le Jin, Cao Hong and others just killed them all, but they have made a lot of achievements as a result.
More importantly, because the two of them had been fighting in the mountains for many years with this army and horses, Shengsheng helped the court train an elite infantry that was good at mountain warfare. This was an unexpected gain.
After returning to the imperial court, Le Jin, who had done a great job in annihilating Shanyue, was promoted to General Pi, completing the transition from a lieutenant to a general. As for Cao Hong and Xu Chu, they were not promoted because of their stable performance.
And Shanyue's problem also brought another benefit, that is, the dragon energy became stronger and stronger, which made Liu Xuan keep practicing in the past few years, working hard to temper and digest this strong dragon energy, for several years in a row
Since then, his cultivation has been growing steadily - even if the speed is getting slower and slower, as long as he is improving, this is something to be happy about.
“It’s been ten years in the Han calendar!”
In a blink of an eye, it was already the tenth year of the Han calendar, which was AD 210.
Time has left almost no trace on Liu Xuan's body. Apart from looking more mature, his appearance has not changed much, and even his beard has not grown half.
Not only Liu Xuan, but also Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Xun Yu and other close civil and military officials have not changed much in appearance. It’s just that Cao Cao’s figure has now stabilized at about 1.8 meters, with his Chinese character face and the temperament cultivated by many years of fighting.
With a strong temperament, most people only need to take a quick look to know that this person must be in a high position and quite powerful.
Compared with these people, the other group of people in the court have changed more obviously in the past few years, especially the old ministers such as Fu Wan, whose appearance has become older - not that they are more aged due to overwork.
It's not fast, but because the people around them have not changed and they are aging, so this change becomes more and more conspicuous.
After so many years, these veterans also understood the difference between themselves and Xun Yu's people. They also recognized the reality and knew that they might have no hope of obtaining such benefits, but Liu Xuan did not really give up.
If this is the case, these people may not have the motivation to continue serving Liu Xuan.
That is, even if you work hard in this life and cannot be recognized by the emperor, your achievements will be recorded. Even if you cannot live forever, your descendants may not be able to live forever.
To put it bluntly, it takes advantage of some old people's thoughts of valuing future generations and makes them realize that even if they don't get the benefits, your family may still get the benefits, so... keep working hard!
Apart from anything else, at least Fu Wan's daughter Fu Shou has benefited from this, which makes this veteran extremely grateful for his decision to marry his daughter to Chenliu King Liu Xie. Although the daughter cannot be regarded as a family inheritance, as long as she has the protection of her daughter,
If this happens, the Fu family will have hope and will not decline rapidly.
It is because of this idea and the obvious example of Fu Wan that the veterans in the court did not lose their motivation to fight. They still worked hard to help Liu Xuan govern the world.
Because of the efforts of these people, the official positions in the court have not changed much. Most of the capable people who have newly surrendered have served as ministers, ministers, etc. Among them, Fei Shi and Deng Zhi have served as the new emperors.
Doorman.
As for the original Huangmen Shilang Zhong Yao, he went to the Ministry of Personnel and served as Zuo Shilang, which was regarded as sending an assistant to Xun Yu.
Lu Xun was arranged by Liu Xuan to join the Ministry of War. His official position was not high and he was just a member of the military. However, Lu Xun was still young and had a low reputation, so he had no objections to this.
Mi Zhu joined the Ministry of Household Affairs as the head of the household department, and Xu Shu's good friend Shi Tao served as the governor of Xiangyang.
Counting carefully, the imperial court now has a strong military force. After training in the past few years, the original generals from Jingzhou and Yizhou have also been integrated into the imperial army system, including Wenpin, Wei Yan, Zhang Ren, etc., who are now serving in the Forbidden Army.
What surprised Liu Xuan was Zhang Yun - originally he was wondering why this person was not in Jingzhou, but later he found out that Zhang Yun turned out to be Zhang Wen's son. Zhang Wen had always been in the court, and Zhang Yun had actually been right under Liu Xuan's eyelids.
Under the emperor, if Cao Cao hadn't said something during a casual chat: "Zhang Yun, the son of the former Sikong Zhang Wen, is quite talented. If he practices in the army for a few years, he can become a general." He would not have known that Zhang Yun had already been under his command.
Already.
Is this the legendary darkness under the lamp?
Liu Xuan muttered silently without letting anyone hear. Liu Xuan felt that it was necessary to find out how many talents were hiding in the corner waiting for him to discover.
As a result, I found a lot after looking at it.
For example, when Gongsun Zan conquered Liaodong, he conquered many local people in Youzhou. One of them was named Tian Yu, who had a reputation for talent when he was young. Gongsun Zan had known his name for a long time, but it was a pity that he had no chance with Yuan Shaohuo at that time and his subsequent defeat.
He was recruited as a general under the command. When he returned to Youzhou, he immediately thought of this young man and directly recruited him to join the army to conquer Liaodong.
It can be said that the most correct choice Gongsun Zan made when he sent troops to Liaodong was to recruit Tian Yu to accompany the army and use Tian Yu as his marching staff. As a result, Gongsun Zan relied on his already super strong army and Tian Yu's several strategies to defeat him easily.
Gongsundu regained Liaodong and even repelled the Wuhuan, Xianbei and other foreign tribes who took advantage of the situation.
Later, when Gongsun Zan returned to the court, he wrote down Tian Yu's merits and the merits of all the soldiers on the list. However, Liu Xuan was busy tempering dragon energy at that time, so he ignored this person - another reason is that
Tian Yu didn't appear much in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so he almost ignored it. Only after he calmed down did he remember the name of Cao Wei's top general in the northern frontier.
In addition to Tian Yu, there was also Chen Dao, but Chen Dao was working as a tooth general for Cheng Yu at this time. Although he had no merit, he was diligent, steady, and extremely stable. Cheng Yu also praised him a lot, and Liu Xuan
Taking advantage of the opportunity of Cheng Yu's entry into the court, Chen Daozheng was recruited into the Forbidden Army.
I just found these two after a random search. I didn't find anyone who was alive and said that Liu Xuan couldn't remember it for a while, but he didn't care. Anyway, in the current situation, sooner or later, if you have the ability, you will show up. There is no need to go up.
Rushing to be promoted - isn't Pang Tong also working as a minor official under Shi Tao?
With trivial things running in his head, Liu Xuan stepped into the Tianji Pavilion in a few steps.
He didn't have to worry about being disturbed in this attic. Even if there was an emergency, Cao Bao would use the communicator to ask him instead of breaking in directly to report. With the mass production and improvement of communicators, this thing is no longer unusual now.
Not only did almost everyone in the imperial court have a simple version, but even some wealthy businessmen would buy a civilian version. Firstly, it was novel and easy to use, and secondly, it also showed their identity.
The one in Liu Xuan's hand was a special edition, and the objects used for communication included not only his many subordinates, but also two undercover agents: Yu Ji and Xu Shu.
Xu Shu accompanied Zhang Lu in the Western Regions and marched hard to Europe. Let's not talk about it. Yu Ji has stated more than once that he has fulfilled his promise and is not going to stay with Sun Quan anymore, but will return to the Central Plains.
Last year, Liu Xuan also nodded and agreed to Yu Ji's request, and asked him to go directly to Prince Chenliu's Mansion in Luoyang to look for Shi Dao Ren, and Shi Dao Ren would give him the benefits he deserved.
As for whether he wants to be free after receiving the benefits or surrender to the court and serve Liu Xuan, that is his choice.
It is estimated that Yu Ji will almost return to the territory of the Han Dynasty. Liu Xuan has not expanded externally in these years. He has only consolidated the territory that the Han Dynasty originally owned, especially in remote places such as the southeast and Jiaozhou in the south.
, originally the Han Dynasty had little control over these places, and Liu Xuan did not want this situation to happen again under his rule.
Anyway, with the popularization of hovercars and communicators, both transportation and communication have become much more convenient, and governance is much simpler than before. At least if anything happens, the court can know it as soon as possible, and it can be done in the shortest possible time.
Make appropriate instructions within the time.
Take out the 'Thousand Miles Sound Transmission'. This was the name given by the people when the civilian version was first launched. However, it is not so accurate for the special version Liu Xuan has, because in addition to making calls, the one he has has
image.
After fidgeting casually, Yu Ji's old face appeared in front of Liu Xuan.
