Chapter 13: The First New Army (1) ()

Guangluxun was one of the nine ministers, called the Langzhongling in the Qin Dynasty, and changed to Guangluxun during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. He was in charge of the palace gate guards and was the commander-in-chief of the palace guards. He was mostly appointed by the important ministers of the court, and was under the jurisdiction of the seven guards including Hu Ben and Yulin. If he did not have a certain prestige and experience, it would be difficult to suppress them.

Now that Zhuge Zhan is appointed as Guangluxun, everyone feels it is quite rash. Zhuge Zhan is only in his early thirties and has no experience in commanding the army to fight, he rarely intervenes in politics. Guangluxun's nine ministers have high positions. Although he is the son of the prime minister, he is the Nine Ministers of the country at the age of thirty-one, it is hard for everyone to accept it.

Everyone stopped in the yard to discuss, but could not enter the inner hall. Qiao Zhou was studying in the inner hall, and only Qiao Zhou's disciples could enter. No one felt neglected because of this. Most of the officials in Shu Kingdom today rely on their fathers' love, and often had to go out of the court without making any achievements. High officials were in the hands of the government. Those with real talents and knowledge had to start from the bottom, and they were only a county magistrate in their lifetime. They had no place to display their talents and ambitions, and no one in the court could get promoted. Although Qiao Zhou lost power in the court, he had never stopped studying and preaching, and many young talents who were unable to do so came to the court. Those who were outstanding could at least start from the bottom and establish themselves in the court. It was much better than those who had not been outside for decades. Therefore, people at that time respected Qiao Zhou very much.

"If Qiao Gong doesn't move, wouldn't he be the one who can't hold on?" Among the crowd, there were people who could not hold back and make noises. Everyone looked at him with contempt. The man knew that he had made a mistake and retreated to the corner and stopped talking. As time went by, everyone felt a little chill. Although they didn't agree with this, their voices gradually became noisy. Seeing this, Wen Li, a disciple of Qiao Zhou at the door of the hall, turned around and went to find the master.

He went south and had already arrived at the territory of Jianwei County. Huang Hao scooped water alone by the stream, reflecting the stream, looking at his old face and couldn't help but feel melancholy. Saving his life is a good thing, and moving to the south is also a good thing. No one hates him in this barren land in the south, which is much safer than staying in the river. Yan Yu, the surrendered governor of the south, has always been under his care, and he should live without worries when he comes there.

"Is it Monsanto?" Seeing the figure behind him from the stream, Huang Hao scooped up the stream and washed his face.

"If my father-in-law uses water, just let the servants get water. The southwards, the less people are. My father-in-law should not act alone." The visitor was Xu Liexu Mengsan, who was responsible for migrating nearly a thousand people including Huang Hao to the south.

"Thank you all the hard work. Your Majesty is the time to rectify the court. You are also a meritorious minister. But when you come to ask for this chore, Fengzong has done a good job." After wiping his face, Huang Hao stood up and said.

"Brother has instructed me that the hardships of the journey should not be neglected. I should also repay the kindness of the father-in-law who is well-received."

"I don't understand politics and military affairs. If you talk about power skills, it is difficult for all the ministers in the court to match Fengzong. I think I am also a capable man, and I have to admit defeat after seeing Fengzong. These few times have shocked the destruction of various forces in the court, and the changes are unpredictable. Only your elder brother is still at the top of power, but it's a pity..." Huang Hao paused and continued to see that Xu Lie was not dissatisfied: "Your Majesty is a real thing to do. Although Fengzong is strong, he has a strong sense of playing with power skills. If you don't stop and keep your feet on the ground, this wealth and power will be difficult to protect after all."

"Eunuch Xie reminds you that you should tell me after you go back. Does my father-in-law have anything else to say?"

Huang Hao suddenly felt excited and realized that Xu Lie's face was calm, but his murderous aura was undoubtedly revealed. "Monsan, you..." The incident happened suddenly. Chen Qi had clearly rescued him in Chengdu, why did he kill him again? Huang Hao was unclear for a moment and could not speak.

"My father-in-law has nothing to say, let me send you my father-in-law for a ride." Xu Lie stretched out his hideous face and pinched Huang Hao's throat with his big hands, and walked towards the stream.

When the ministers saw Wen Li running into the inner hall, they knew that they must have gone to find Qiao Zhou, so they waited with peace of mind. Soon Wen Li walked out of the inner hall and gave a deep bow to everyone: "Light means brightness, fortune means honor means merit." After waiting for a long time, only this reply was made, and everyone could not hide their disappointment. Someone asked, "What else did Qiao Duke say?"

Wen Li replied respectfully: "Sir, there is nothing else to say. If you are worried, the students must enter the hall to study, which is rude." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Someone in the crowd understood what Qiao Zhou meant, and felt relieved and turned around and left. Seeing that everyone was separated, the rest of the people dispersed, so they dispersed and dispersed.

"Light means brightness, fortune means honor, honor means merit." This is what Yongshao said in Runan. The original meaning is to explain the meaning of Guanglu Xun. Qiao Zhou also said the same thing, and his attitude is very clear. No matter which one is suitable for Zhuge Zhan, why should we oppose it?

Liu Chan was secretly happy in Changle Palace. Today, Xiaoshi made all the ministers bow down and gained a lot. Once the proposals of Chen Qi and others began to be implemented, it would be like a pioneer in reform. No one except himself knew what this plan was, but he was dragged into the water step by step and was unavoidable.

According to Chen Qi and others' suggestions, the population of Shu Han can increase by about 200,000. 200,000 is actually not a large number. This is not an increase out of thin air, but a population hidden under the current feudal system and has not been able to enter the official control. For the huge base of hidden population, these 200,000 are just small numbers, and the final goal is to be beaten by a big tiger.

It was already night, and Empress Zhang brought the palace maid with a food box and approached. Liu Chan smiled slightly. This ancient woman was surprisingly considerate, and the big reason was that the disparity in status between men and women. Empress Zhang had always been very careful about Liu Chan's daily diet. His Majesty worked hard every day and had to study martial arts hard. It was really hard to be a good old man and had to serve him well. In fact, if Liu Chan had not taken the elixir, his body would definitely not be able to resist such consumption.

According to Chen Fu, the people's livelihood in China is not good. I found that the treasury was not sufficient in searching the copy. People paid a lot of taxes, but officials at all levels were corrupt and fed their own pockets, so they didn't make any money. Before that, I didn't hear that this was the situation in China. Liu Chan was eating while thinking, and he didn't notice that Queen Zhang's face was slightly different from the past.

"No, you must have your own eyes and ears. You should not justify the court officials to discuss the scene outside the palace." Thinking of this, Liu Chan began to search for the excellent intelligence agencies in his mind, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, and all dynasties. Inquiry during the underdeveloped Three Kingdoms period, it was boring for Liu Chan, a later generation. If it weren't for the fact that there were still many things to learn, I really didn't know what to do day by day.

When he returned to the mansion, Chen Qi was in a heavy mood. After assisting His Majesty in quelling the civil strife in the palace, he cleaned up a group of ministers who had colluded with the prince. Among them, there were many of his own disciples, most of whom were former disciples who could not enter the core circle, but there were also many up-and-comers who had great potential and were used as future investments to invade the prince’s gang in case. His Majesty waved his hand and the group of people explained it like this.

This is a trivial matter. Compared with other forces, I have not shaken the roots at all, and it has been a great victory. However, after this success, my power has not increased. Now Your Majesty wants to crack down on corrupt officials, appease refugees, and rectify household registration. This series is a fatal matter. Most of the people who are qualified to be greedy and powerful are their confidants of themselves and Huang Hao. Others do not want to be greedy, but Fei Que is jointly controlled by the two of them, so they have to sigh. Not to mention others, Chen Fu himself recruited nearly a thousand people from refugees as tenants, working hard for the Chen family farm, and thus greatly increased his assets. Your Majesty's meaning is equivalent to cutting off his own life. What should we do?

Late at night, Chen Qi couldn't sleep, and Liu Chan couldn't sleep either. He had already thought about what kind of intelligence agency to set up, but there was no suitable candidate. Just because he was loyal and reliable, he had to have rich experience and could not be too old, otherwise he would not have enough energy to devote himself to his work. After thinking about it, he still had no idea. Seeing that Liu Chan was unable to sleep, he knew that His Majesty had something difficult again. So he blew the wind by his pillow. Liu Chan loved this very much. Whenever he had difficulties, Empress Zhang could always solve her problems.

"If this is the case, why don't your Majesty ask Yang Wenran?"

"Oh? How do you say this?" Liu Chan was a little surprised at Queen Zhang's proposal. How could Queen Zhang conclude that Yang Xi could relieve her worries after a long time in the military?

"Your Majesty works hard every day, but I forgot about "Ji Han's Praise"?" Empress Zhang reminded her when she saw this.

"Ji Han's Praise" is an article written by Yang Xi in the fourth year of Yanxi to praise the monarchs and ministers of Shu Han in all dynasties. It was widely spread in Shu. Yang Xi made a pertinent evaluation and praise of the kings and ministers who died before Yanxi four years ago, which was deeply recognized by everyone. Since we cannot think of a suitable candidate, it is better to let Yang Xi, who is quite talented, find a way.

Liu Chan naturally didn't know what "Ji Han Fu Chen Praises", but the queen said this, but she was not easy to listen to. Besides, she knew Yang Xi's ability, and the plan to quell the chaos was mainly planned by Yang Xi. It was comprehensive and all changes were expected. I couldn't help but feel excited, and I even confirmed that Yang Xi could provide the right candidate.

Getting up from the bed, Liu Chan kissed Queen Zhang on the forehead and told Queen Zhang to rest first. She ran out of the bedroom. Queen Zhang felt sweet, and after thinking about it, she hurriedly summoned the palace maids to enter, gave some instructions and went to bed by herself.

Yang Xi was old and energetic, and she didn't sleep even late at night. She had already received news from her family that the master was promoted to Tingwei, and the men, women, and young people were extremely happy. She had been going around for decades and traveling around for years. Yang Xi rarely stayed at home. Although his wife and children were following her, there was someone to take care of the family's property, so it was inevitable that they would be separated from each other. Now that the master is promoted, the family can reunite and live together for a long time, which is a happy moment.

I didn't expect that after the master returned home in the evening, he had to prepare to go out again. Yang Xi was helpless. Since he proposed to arrange the entry of ethnic minorities to households, he had to do it himself. It was important. Once the conflict between the two tribes was caused, it was not only a shock to Sichuan, but also a dangerous situation in the south. At that time, the first person to be guilty was himself.

After thinking about it, Yang Xi decided to do the matter himself. Everyone fell asleep. Yang Xi was alone in the study and was drafting detailed rules. The servants in the mansion suddenly reported that someone came from the palace.
