Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 191 The Wind of Emperor Wen
In the long pavilion, Liu Chan had extremely complicated emotions in his heart. For Li Yan, Liu Chan both loved him and abstained from him.

As far as the current heroes of the big man are concerned, Li Yan can be said to be the first echelon, with outstanding political skills and excellent martial arts.

In terms of talent, Li Yan can be compared to the trumpet Zhuge Liang, but his moral character is far inferior to Zhuge Liang.

Li is serious about fame and wealth, and often tries to collude with the Nanyang Township Party in Jingzhou, such as Wei Yan, Guo Youzhi, Chen Zhen, Deng Ai, etc., as the cornerstone of the court and the army.

But when these Nanyang township parties faced a choice, they did not hesitate to turn to Zhuge Liang, another Nanyang tycoon. For these Nanyang township parties, there is no doubt that they would follow Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang, as the leader of the second generation, was a clean official and fair in dealing with affairs. Rewards and punishments would never change because of the distance of the relationship.

As a talented Nanyang Township Party, why should it go far away and collude with Li Yan in order to make progress!
This is why Guo Youzhi, the servant, secretly spoke to Liu Chan about Li Yan's actions during his official career.

Especially when Liu Chan asked Guo Youzhi and Li Yan what kind of person he was, Guo Youzhi's words flickered, saying that Li Yan often wrote to him about matters in the court.

In fact, combined with the story Guo Youzhi just told about Li Yan's win over Wang Chong, it can be understood.What Guo Youzhi said was that Li Yan was the governor of Jiangzhou, guarding the eastern frontier, and a big official in the frontier. He not only wooed middle and lower-level military officers, but also tried to write letters to establish relations with the DPRK and Chinese servants and inquire about the affairs of the DPRK and China.

What's going on in the court?

The servant is a close minister of the emperor, who participates in court affairs and is on the side of the emperor.

Isn't the question you are asking about the affairs around Liu Chan, the emperor of the Han Dynasty?
How could Liu Chan bear a "bad record" feudal official to win over his cronies.

Not surprisingly, thanks to Guo Youzhi's advice, Liu Chan's dissatisfaction with Li Yan grew deeper and deeper.

Looking at the scenery outside the pavilion, Liu Chan fell into silence. The atmosphere in the pavilion where the original words were exchanged was dignified.

At this time, "Your Majesty, please see the prime minister." Huang Hao reported.

Liu Chan regained his senses a little, and said, "The three of you step back first!"

Qiao Zhou and the other three saluted slightly and exited the pavilion cautiously.

After the three of them left, Liu Chan let out a long breath, and his originally calm face could not help showing a trace of fatigue.

But soon Liu Chan restrained his expression to face Zhuge Liang who was coming.

"I pay homage to Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang said, saluting outside the pavilion.

With a smile on his face, Liu Chan pointed to the seat and said, "Father, please sit down, there is no need to be polite. Serve tea!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang took off his shoes, walked slowly into the pavilion, sat upright, and said with cupped hands.

"I don't know why Xiangfu went to enter the palace?" Liu Chan asked curiously.

Zhuge Liang took out the booklet from his arms and handed it to Liu Chan with both hands.

Liu Chan took the brochure and browsed it carefully, his expression darkened.

After a while, Liu Chan raised his head to look at Zhuge Liang, and asked slowly, "I don't know what Xiangfu means?"

Zhuge Liang said solemnly: "No, Zhengfang's request cannot be granted!"

Liu Chan put down the booklet, nodded in response, and said in a deep voice, "I also thought it was impossible to keep the promise!"

Liu Chan got up with his hands behind his back, and said lightly: "Li Zhengfang wants to establish Bazhou, so how can it be feasible to divide Yizhou? Li Zhengfang is the governor of Jiangzhou and is in charge of the eastern frontier army. At this time, divide Bazhou and want to be appointed as the governor of Bazhou, isn't it? Military affairs and government affairs are in one hand!"

"Besides, at this time, Cao Wei is ready to move and wants to raise troops to attack. The war is imminent. Dividing Bazhou at this time is tantamount to breaking the arm of Yizhou, which is not good for the overall situation."

Liu Chan has some thoughts about dividing Yizhou into other states, but it is definitely not now. At present, the Han Dynasty is still in a corner, and it is necessary to concentrate the power of the whole country to attack Cao Wei in the north.

Now it is not worth the loss to be assigned to Bazhou. The two administrative systems are parallel to each other. Bazhou affairs need to go through Li Yan first, and then go to Zhuge Liang. How long will it take to go back and forth?
After all, the flat management of small countries is the best solution.

Moreover, the first governor could never be Li Yan, a restless man. Li Yan stated on the form that he wanted to divert the Wenjiang River into the Bajiang River, bypass Jiangzhou, turn the city into a continent, and build a city that would not fall in Chengdu. Ayutthaya.

Such a huge project must take several years to complete, and it is not known how much corvee will be paid.At present, the world is in a period of conflict in the world. When all the forces are concentrated and the Northern Expedition is the first, how can the people's power be wasted on construction?

Um?Li Yan begged to set up Bazhou, and Zhuge Liang awarded Jiuxi. These two events made Liu Chan think about it.

Liu Chan tilted his head, and suddenly asked: "Father Xiang didn't know about the matter of giving Jiuxi a few days ago, do you have clues? Was it really the work of Cao Wei's spies?"

Facing the two irrelevant questions, Zhuge Liang was not surprised. He just smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty bestowed on Jiuxi. After asking the old man in charge, I thought it might be that the important ministers of the Han Dynasty followed the example of Zhang and Su. But my minister Fearing that this matter will alarm the government and the public, it is said that it was the work of Cao Wei's spies."

Liu Chan turned around and pointed to Li Yan's booklet on the table with his hand, and said meaningfully: "I am afraid that Xiangfu already knows who did it in his heart?"

"I don't know how to treat Li Zhengfang?" Liu Chan asked.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "At present, Wei is strong and we are weak, major events have not been decided, and the old things have not been restored. Besides, Cao Wei is about to attack me, and the Han Dynasty is in danger. At this time, it is better to reward the right party by punishing the right party."

Liu Chan sat upright, poured tea for Zhuge Liang, and said with a smile, "After the Northern Expedition, Xiangfu wanted to be promoted to the official position of Zhengfang. I refused to see how Zhengfang's heart is, but I never thought that Zhengfang would be so greedy for profit and do such a thing."

Zhuge Liang saluted to thank Liu Chan for his kindness. Looking at the teacup on the table, he sighed and said: "A great man, if he can do the right thing and be loyal to the country, the great man will not let him down. Why do you do what Zhang and Qin did? To mess up the overall situation?"

Liu Chan shook his head and sighed softly, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked, "Father Xiang really wants to reward him with an important official?"

Zhuge Liang stretched out his hand to hold the cold teacup, pondered for a while, and said: "I can tolerate Zheng Fang for the prosperity of the great man, and cooperate with him side by side to make a great cause together. I want to persuade him with good words, and hope that he knows his mistakes and can correct them. There is nothing good about it!"

Liu Chan raised the corners of his mouth, with a smile that was not a smile, and said lightly: "The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change!"

Zhuge Liang raised his eyes to look at Liu Chan, a little stunned, never thought that His Majesty has such a deep grasp of people's hearts.

Liu Chan stared at Zhuge Liang, and said seriously: "For the right thing, I can handle it with my father."

Zhuge Liang nodded silently. Compared to himself, Liu Chan was the best person to deal with Li Yan.

And a few years ago, when His Majesty first came to the throne, he warned Li Yan about the regular room.

Your Majesty warns that the methods are obscure and the methods are clever, and those who are not good at knowing people's hearts can't do it.

Zhuge Liang felt somewhat that today's son has more delicate emotions than the first emperor who was born in Youzhou. He is also better at winning and dealing with people's hearts than the first emperor. He has the style of the former Han Wen emperor.
