I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 25 Bingzhou Imperial Commission
Huangfu Festival's army also retreated to Yanmen Pass after a few days of marching. Although his instinct told himself that Yanmen Pass was worry-free, he still didn't see it with his own eyes. He had devoted most of his life to this majestic pass, and he would never allow it to fall to the enemy.

In a few days, the Huangfu Festival battle report was sent to Bingzhou Governor's Mansion at a speed of [-] miles.Ding Yuan also asked someone to copy and keep a copy, and sent the original to Zhang Yi's desk.

"Haha, after a great victory, Huangfu Festival really deserves its reputation. After a famous general, it's a good job!" Zhang Yi said very excitedly.

He carefully read the military newspaper several times, and Huangfu Jie introduced Li Shimin's achievements very emphatically. It was obvious that he was highly respected, and he was also evaluated as a talent of Qilin.In the end, Xiaolian was also promoted, and he was elected Mayi county magistrate.

Zhang Yi recognized Huangfu Jie's vision of people, and felt that this old general was by no means a casual talker. It seemed that Li Shimin must have something extraordinary.

"Since this person has made great achievements, and Huangfu Festival honors him with filial piety, how can I not be a man of beauty?" Zhang Yi thought to himself, "The geographical location of Mayi is very important. The bridgeheads of Fanguan Pass and Yanmen Pass, if this place is well guarded, there will be a lot less barbarians in Bingzhou."

"It seems that this Li Shimin appeared at the right time, maybe he is the right candidate." Zhang Yi said to himself with a smile: "But I'll see you later, if you are really a promising talent, you must accept it." For my own use..."

Ding Yuan also read the military newspaper, but he already knew the result of the battle, and an insider had already told him the result of the battle.However, a person mentioned in the military newspaper aroused his strong interest.

This person is not the brave and scheming Li Shimin, but the brave and unparalleled Lu Bu. Although only a few words were written in the report on Huangfu Festival, Ding Yuan was amazed at this "unparalleled in the world" comment, and soon He has a calculation in his heart...

In fact, Zhang Yi also noticed Lu Bu, but Huangfu Jie's phrase "Lu Bu is unruly" displeased him very much. He also didn't like this kind of unruly general. After that, I didn't want to focus on using Lu Bu again.

…………

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the power of the governor was further increased. It is recorded in the history books that "to correct and impeach the subordinates, the prefect and county magistrate does not need to be inspected like the three princes in the Western Han system, but can be removed directly."It is equivalent to giving the governor a certain right to appoint personnel.

Therefore, Li Shimin's county magistrate can directly make a decision on the appointment and removal of Zhang Yi, but Zhang Yi has always been dedicated to his duties and loyal to the court. Regarding Li Shimin's appointment, he still reported to the court in a proper manner, and explained the reasons in detail according to the table.

Although there were eunuchs in the imperial court who exercised power, they still respected local officials and local emperors, especially Zhang Yi, who had a good official voice and made many military exploits against the court.Unless it was absolutely necessary, these eunuchs were unwilling to offend such important court officials.

Therefore, Emperor Ling soon decreed to agree to Zhang Yi's memorial request, and asked Zhang Yi to arrange officials to read the imperial decree to Li Shimin.For such a small official, His Majesty the Emperor was too lazy to send someone to deliver the decree, so Zhang Yi simply let Zhang Yi arrange it himself.

…………

It has been a month since the last battle in Mayi. During this month, Li Shimin is also the temporary county magistrate, waiting for the official appointment by the court.The original Li County Magistrate had completely ignored political affairs, and he himself knew that this time the county magistrate was completely out of control, so he simply ignored it and let Li Shimin do it.

Huangfu Festival gave Li Shimin a quota of 2000 county soldiers. Naturally, he also sent two of his own men to lead the army. He also intended to prevent Li Shimin's family from dominating, which was a bit of a check and balance.

What he didn't expect was that the two he sent were Zhang Liao and Gan Xinghan, both of whom had already joined Li Shimin's command. The main reason for sending Zhang Liao was that his family was very famous in Mayi, and he was also a young hero. .It's just that I didn't expect that the command of this army still fell into the hands of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin also immediately began to recruit troops and expand his army rapidly.This time he defended Mayi and counterattacked the barbarians, and he also gained a great reputation. Many aspiring young people from the surrounding counties and counties came here admiringly.

Therefore, the 2000 places were soon filled, but in Li Shimin's plan, the 2000 people were far from enough. Zhang Liao and Gan Xinghan were secretly asked to continue to expand the army and strive to reach 5000 troops. Naturally, Zhang Liao was also secretly acting. , not to be discovered by others.

Because of Cao Wenbao's contribution in the Battle of Mayi, Huangfu Jie promoted him to be the captain of Yanmen Guanyuanmen and stayed at Yanmen Pass. This is also in Li Shimin's arms and may play a key role in the future.

One day in October, the wind was sunny and Mayi was already getting the chill of winter, but the sun at noon was very warm and comfortable.

The officials from the governor's office sent by Zhang Yi finally arrived in Mayi, and Li Shimin led the main officials of the Mayi government office and the army to greet him.

The official who came to deliver the decree was Shi Linghuchu, the governor of Bingzhou. This person was from the Linghu family in Taiyuan, a famous family. The family was deeply rooted in Bingzhou and played an important role.However, this person is also very talented and learned. He studied under Cai Yong in his early years and was a rare and well-educated person. Zhang Yi regarded him as his right-hand man and relied heavily on him.

Naturally, Li Shimin didn't dare to be negligent, and the arrangements along the way were well-planned and thoughtful.At the same time, Zhang Liao's father was also invited out. Mrs. Zhang often dealt with Linghu Changshi when he was the county magistrate, so he was familiar with him and could speak well.

After the guard of honor arrived in Mayi, Linghu Chu did not get out of the car, but ordered the guards to go directly to the county government.So Li Shimin led the crowd all the way to the county government.

Although Li Shimin in his previous life was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty admired by all people, he has always been in the clouds, aloof.But today is different from the past, he couldn't help but put away his "dominant aura" and deal with it carefully, he could feel that Linghu Chu's visit this time was extraordinary.

After Linghu Chu got out of the car, Li Shimin also hurriedly saluted, "I have seen the imperial envoy, Li Shimin, the next official, and I am waiting for the superior to come." The so-called etiquette cannot be broken, and the ancients cared a lot about etiquette, so Li Shimin did not dare to be careless.

Linghu Chu was not too arrogant, and he was very polite to Li Shimin. He knew that Zhang Yi attached great importance to this person, and maybe this person would come to the Governor's Mansion in the future and become his colleague.

Moreover, after Linghu Chu looked at Li Shimin carefully, he felt that this person was born of Song and Yue Jiang, and he had an indescribable aura, and his brows were full of heroic spirit, which was the air of an upright gentleman, so he was very fond of him.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with each other, they entered the topic and began to read the imperial decree.

Li Shimin was helpless, the current situation was stronger than others, so he could only kneel down to accept the order, and kept telling himself, "Small intolerance will lead to great chaos."

Seeing that Linghu Chu was very serious, he unfolded the imperial decree and began to read: "Following the heavens, the emperor said: I have heard that you are virtuous and reward the best talents. Sheji, I am very comforted. I specially promoted the magistrate of Mayi County, to protect the environment and the people, to educate the people, and to make new achievements, I admire this."

Li Shimin quickly kowtowed to thank God, and so far his Mayi county magistrate was completely justified and settled.
