Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 155 Dismembering the States
Seeing that Liu Yizhen's plan was so clear, Wang Maide didn't say much.

He knew that it wasn't that Liu Yizhen didn't need them now, but that their current position in the court was too low, they didn't have enough information, and they didn't have enough authority to analyze the overall situation and solve Liu Yizhen's problems.

Even the god Zhuge Liang, when Liu Bei went to look for him in the thatched cottage, he only proposed the grand strategy of Longzhong, without discussing the details in detail.That's because Zhuge Liang hasn't joined the Liu Bei Group yet. If he doesn't stand high, it's difficult to control the overall situation.

Now that Liu Yizhen clearly knows his grand strategy, what Wang Maide and Gao Yun have to do is to rely on Liu Yizhen to climb as fast as possible, and truly share Liu Yizhen's worries.

A few days later, Liu Yizhen went to visit Xie Hui with a gift.

No one knows what the two talked about this time, but the southern family's actual offensive against the north has become much more violent, which has made many people guess whether the two have broken up?
However, the northern family's appearance of being afraid of others made the war escalate again and reached its peak.

Two months after Liu Yizhen was appointed as "Record Minister", the northern and southern aristocratic families were finally exhausted and hoped that someone would stand up and reconcile.

Zheng Xianzhi, Yin Jingren and Liu Zhan all came to look for Liu Yizhen and asked Liu Yizhen to come forward.

Now that the battle has been fought, there is only one last step left—dividing the spoils.

"Don't worry, everyone."

The two parties have already found that balance point in the game. The meat of the southern family has been cut off, and the next thing is to eat it well.

Immediately, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Sacrifice retired and returned to his hometown, and Zheng Xianzhi took his place.

The original Zuomin Gongcao was stripped of his official position due to corruption, and Yin Jingren replaced him.

It turned out to be the servant of the Huangmen... No one was implicated, because Wang Shaozhi was once promoted to the meritorious service of the Ministry of Sacrifice by Liu Yu to vacate a position, so Liu Zhan took the position easily.

In this way, Liu Yi really has the power of the center, and will no longer enter the arena like a duck without water.

Soon it was time for the court meeting again.

When Liu Yizhen saw Fu Liang again, Fu Liang first congratulated, and then sighed: "I really admire the methods of Duke Chang'an."

"Fu Shizhong is absurd."

Turning around, Liu Yizhen saw Xie Hui again.

At this time, Xie Hui looked at Liu Yizhen with complicated eyes.

There is resentment, there is jealousy, there is loss, there is envy...

The two looked at each other without showing any trace, and then they staggered away.

It's fine to talk about things behind the scenes, there's no need to reveal them now.

"I have met Mr. Chang'an."

Xu Xianzhi, who is the head of the "Big Three", also came to Liu Yizhen at some point.

"Xu Shang Shu'an."

Liu Yizhen had the least contact with Xu Xianzhi.

It was probably because his thoughts were too deep, and he was the one who advocated the abolition of Liu Yifu in history, so Liu Yizhen was really reluctant to contact him from the bottom of his heart.

No one likes someone who devours the Lord, if there is, please refer to Dong Zhuo for details.

The king is the king, and the minister is the minister.

Why are Yi Yin and Huo Guang not as famous as Duke Zhou?
It is because they have all done things that abolished the establishment.

No matter what their original intentions are, it is taboo to abolish and establish a monarch.

Therefore, no matter how much the later generations' names and monarchs praise them, they will not set them up as models, otherwise they will make themselves unhappy.

Only Zhuge Liang, who assists the monarch from one end to the end, is a loyal minister in the eyes of the king and the people.

Regardless of whether Liu Chan is a waste or not, even if he is, it was entrusted to Zhuge Liang by Liu Bei.It was not Zhuge Liang's turn to make a decision, even if Liu Bei left the words "can be replaced", Zhuge Liang did not have the slightest disadvantage to Liu Chan.

The same goes for Liu Yifu entrusted by Liu Yu. This is the most basic way of being a minister.

But aside from these, Xu Xianzhi still has abilities.

He is probably a counselor at the level second only to Wang Meng, Cui Hao, and Liu Muzhi. It is no wonder that Liu Yu chose him as a minister and became his prime minister.

But Xu Xianzhi's attitude towards Liu Yizhen is quite gentle at this time.

Of course, it's just gentle, completely different from Fu Liang's status as a courtier who has put himself in a humble place.

The upper half of Xu Xianzhi's face basically didn't move, only his lips changed shape when he spoke: "Mr. Chang'an, are you going to write a letter at the court meeting today?"

"Ah."

Now Liu Yi really wants to control the court in a short time, give Liu Yu a stable rear, and let him go to the Northern Expedition with peace of mind.

Seeing that Liu Yizhen had no negotiable attitude, Xu Xianzhi wisely shut up.

After putting the northern family into the center, Liu Yizhen has Liu Yu's support upwards and the family's support downwards.

Now that Liu Yizhen has become popular, no one wants to have a direct conflict with Liu Yizhen on ordinary issues.

At the last moment before the start of the court meeting, Liu Yu's frame was long overdue.

Liu Yu seems to be in a good mood these few days, seeing Liu Yizhen and Xu Xianzhi standing together, he stepped forward to give everyone a few words of encouragement.

After the court meeting started, the rigid process was carried out as usual.

Until recently, Liu Zhan, who had just been promoted to the servant of Huangmen, came out to write a letter——

"Sizhou is bordered by Jianghu in the south, and He and Luo in the north. The people are desolate and the land is vast, and transportation is difficult and far away. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages... I wrote to the emperor to ask the emperor to divide and rule Sizhou..."

This letter made many ministers rush to breathe a little suffocated.

This is to... redefine the administrative area?
At this time, Yin Jingren also stood up. Although the reasons were different, they were also divided into prefectures and counties, but Yin Jingren was targeting Yuzhou.

Both of these two stood out in the previous struggle between the northern and southern aristocratic families, and others also understood that they represented Liu Yizhen.

The officials were a little excited and wanted to see how their own people fought back.

But never expected--

As the representative of the southern family, the first thing Xie Hui said after getting up was: "The minister seconded the proposal. Besides, Jingzhou..."

This is the previous agreement between Xie Hui and Liu Yizhen.

For the people, it doesn't matter how they are divided, as long as the land is where they are, they are people there.

But for aristocratic families, the division of states and counties will definitely affect their wealth and power.

Now the center is intervening, just taking advantage of the struggle between the northern and southern aristocratic families before they have time to recover their blood, to go up and take a bite of their respective flesh.

In other words...

Liu Yizhen stabbed the northern family.

Xie Hui stabbed the southern family.

Because when they face the aristocratic family, they will stand in the center to solve the problem.

Weak branches and strong stems are the essence of centralization.

The difference is...

Liu Yizhen is now the only force of the northern family in the center. If Liu Yizhen stabs them, they will accept their grievances with a smile.

Xie Hui is similar, but the choice of the southern family is not limited to Xie Hui.From now on, the power behind Xie Hui may be less, which can be regarded as weakening the southern family in disguise.

The contents of Xie Hui, Yin Jingren, and Liu Zhan's letters are as follows:
Sizhou is bounded by Luoyang, Shanzhou to the west, Zhengzhou to the east, and Xuzhou to the south.

Yuzhou divided the southeast into Bozhou.

Jingzhou divided the south of the Yangtze River into Xiangzhou.

In an instant, the positions of five governors of the state appeared!
