Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 68
"Foreign relatives and eunuchs disrupt the country!"

"The gentry, the tyrants and the fields!"

"Officials in counties and counties, the eunuchs will requisition on their own, and the prefectures and counties will be chaotic!"

"The upper, middle, and lower levels of the Later Han Dynasty were all chaotic, and the disadvantages of the two Han Dynasties were accumulated in the two emperors, Huan and Ling. The Later Han Dynasty could not perish, and the national system could not be changed!"

On the way back to Chengdu from Yong'an, these words of Liu Chan kept appearing in Zhuge Liang's mind.

After Zhuge Liang returned to Chengdu, he lamented at night that the evils of the Han Dynasty must be eradicated. The late emperor looked at me three times in the thatched hut, and His Majesty regarded me as his father. It seems that my task is not only to unify the world, but also to sweep away the conflicts of the Han Dynasty for your majesty. cons.

"Prime Minister, who do you think Hanjia County can appoint as the prefect?" Yang Hong, who was in charge of Yizhou governance, handed the letter of appointment to Zhuge Liang respectfully.

Zhuge Liang was not angry when he was interrupted by Yang Hong. He turned to Yang Hong and said, "Don't worry, let me think about it first. Ji Xiu (Yang Hong's word) I want to order you to be the prefect of Shu again?"

Yang Hong had previously served as the prefect of the capital of Shu. After Yang Hong made great achievements in governance, he was transferred to the governance of Yizhou.

Yang Hong said in a low voice, "Mr. Shefu is seriously ill."

A few days ago, Shejian was ill and unable to manage affairs, so he went home to recuperate.

"I have been told by his family that Lord Shefu may not be able to survive these days, and the prefect of Shudu still needs Ji Xiu to help me." Zhuge Liang looked at Yang Hong expectantly.

Yang Hong didn't delay when he heard that, he cupped his hands and said: "The prime minister has an order, and Hong is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse."

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "I knew Ji Xiu would not be postponed. Is there anyone who can be selected for Ji Xiu's work?"

Yang Hong thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "If the prime minister wants to govern Shu and stabilize the hearts of the scholars in Shu, he must order Wen Gong to do it."

"Zhong Bao (Wen Gongzi) is good. After His Majesty ascends the throne, you can be transferred to the prefect of the capital of Shu." Zhuge Liang nodded in agreement with Yang Hong's words.

When Yang Hong bowed his hands and was about to retreat, Zhuge Liang suddenly asked, "I want to appoint all the prefects and subordinate officials of Hanjia County. Ji Xiu, you recently drafted a list for me."

Yang Hong cupped his hands in surprise and asked, "Prime Minister, the subordinate officials are originally appointed by the prefect, so it is not appropriate to directly appoint and dismiss them here in Yizhou."

Zhuge Liang looked down at the document and said, "Let's try it in Hanjia for a while, and the four-hundred-year-old set of the Han Dynasty should also be used. After you go out, ask Chengming to come over."

Yang Hong exited the hall and signaled Pan Jun to enter.

Pan Jun cupped his hands inside and said, "Prime Minister, I have something to tell you."

"Come forward again, Chengming, you recently met with Hanjia Governor Post to see how the officials of Hanjia are behaved. If they are not good, they will be replaced by Yizhou. Be sure to understand clearly." Zhuge Liang taught the document Yu Pan Jun exhorted.

Pan Jun took the documents, cupped his hands with some doubts in his heart, and said, "Including the county magistrate and his subordinate officials."

Zhuge Liang raised his head and said solemnly to Pan Jun: "The rebellion of the later Han Dynasty, the rebellion of the counties and states, there are so many evildoers. Since our great Han has established a new dynasty, there must be a new rule. How can we repeat the same mistakes? The Hanjia rebellion is a case. We need to Take this as a warning, the change of the official system of the Han Dynasty began with Han Jia.”

"Jun will live up to the prime minister's trust, and the prime minister will just report to me." Pan Jun bowed his hands solemnly after hearing this.

Zhuge Liang waved his hand to signal Pan Jun to back down. Looking at Pan Jun's figure, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Pan Jun has helped a lot in the prosecution and is an arm of the prime minister's mansion.

When Zhuge Liang was about to continue to deal with official documents at the desk, there was a lot of noise in the mansion, and the attendants reported from outside: "Your Majesty has arrived at the Prime Minister's mansion."

"Father Xiang, I'm here to bring night food to Father Xiang alone." Liu Chan strode forward, holding the night food in his hand.

"Father Xiang doesn't need to be too polite." Seeing this, Zhuge Liang hurriedly got up to greet him, and Liu Chan hurriedly said upon seeing this.

Zhuge Liang stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Old minister, thank you for your kindness!"

"Eat it while it's hot, Xiangfu." Liu Chan put the night food on the desk and put the official documents aside.

Although it was inconsistent with etiquette, Zhuge Liang couldn't shirk it and could only eat on the table.Liu Chan didn't bother to check Zhuge Liang's corrected memorial.

After Zhuge Liang had eaten, Liu Chan ordered his attendants to pack up, and helped Zhuge Liang to walk side by side in the garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Father Xiang, if Gusi wants to change the law, Father Xiang must be in charge of the Han Dynasty. The title of prime minister is not valuable, so the Guyu faction named the prime minister as "Shangzhu Guoxiang" after he ascended the throne. I worship Prime Minister Zhu Guo as 'Father' to show my honor and favor!" Liu Chan's words were astonishing.

Zhuge Liang was confused by Liu Chan. He knew about the Shangzhu Kingdom, and he also knew about the Prime Minister of the country, but Zhuge Liang didn't know what the two connected.

Liu Chan seemed to know Zhuge Liang's doubts, so he smiled embarrassedly: "Father Xiang, the Prime Minister of Shangzhu Kingdom was created by himself alone. The ancient military commander of Shangzhu Kingdom later handed over the tiger talisman to the Prime Minister; the Prime Minister is in charge of the country's government affairs."

Zhuge Liang hurriedly bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, you can't. The late emperor has given you bows, axes and axes, and you have the right to conquer. Your Majesty will hand over the tiger talisman to the minister. It is not in accordance with the etiquette. Your Majesty can just hold the tiger talisman. The position of minister and prime minister is enough!"

Seeing Zhuge Liang's refusal, Liu Chan could only give up his desire to change his name. After all, Lao Liu was a master of self-creation of official positions.

"Father Xiang, after Nagu ascended the throne, he granted the prime minister the title of 'Superior Prime Minister' to show his honor; he then worshiped the prime minister as 'Father Xiang' to show his kindness in teaching relative Gu." In order to show that Zhuge Liang was different, Liu Chan, Still gave Zhuge Liang a title.

Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Chan hadn't given up yet, and was about to hand over and refuse.

Liu Chan held Zhuge Liang's hands and said with a straight face: "Everything I think about is reform. The title of Xiangfu can make all the officials of the Han Dynasty stand in awe and show Gu's support for the reform. The title of prime minister is lonely and careful, and the title of prime minister It's not enough to show your father's hard work. Don't refuse!"

Seeing that Liu Chan was so determined, Zhuge Liang had no choice but to give up and refuse. At the same time, he was very moved. The late emperor and the young master treated him so kindly, and he had no choice but to repay the young master with all his heart.

Liu Chan continued: "Although the prime minister opened the government, it is difficult to unify the governance. I want to merge the prime minister's mansion and the Yizhou pastoral mansion into the inner mansion. The prime minister will be in charge of Yizhou's affairs, and the official positions of the personnel will remain unchanged. Ling, Wei Wei, Guang Luxun and other senior officials of the Nine Ministers have been transferred to work in the inner government, and the prime minister is in charge of the affairs of the inner government, so that the prime minister's government orders can be issued quickly, what does the prime minister think?"

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands after pondering and said: "This move is indeed beneficial for the minister to manage the government affairs of the court, but..."

Liu Chan patted the back of Zhuge Liang's hand and interrupted: "Government affairs will be set up to benefit the great Han. I can't help but stick to it. In the future, the government will be controlled by the Ge family, and the widows will be sacrificed."

"Father Xiang is like a green mountain, and I am like a pine and cypress; I will be broken to pieces, and I will never lose each other!" Liu Chan tightly held Zhuge Liang's hands, and said the words that Xiao Gong and Shang Yang swore in the TV series of later generations.

Zhuge Liang pursed his lips and didn't know what to say when he heard this, and finally bent down and cupped his hands to face Liu Chan.
-
The protagonist certainly doesn't care about everything, and the content of the reform will definitely communicate with Zhuge Liang, but just hand over the content of government affairs to Zhuge Liang.
