Vol 10 Chapter 232: Highway humiliation and refusal (3)

Popular recommendation:

The name that aroused Liu Xie's interest was none other than Liu Bei's name.

While making memories, Liu Xie said to Xun Zhen, "I remember that in the tribute list, the Duke seems to have mentioned Liu Bei's name?"

The "reporting form to ask for merit" also refers to the form that Xun Zhen presented to the court for this time when King Qin's meritorious soldiers asked for merit.

This time, King Qin fought more than ten times before and after, starting from Hongnong County, to Xin Ai, Zhang Fei and others chasing Li Jue and Guo Si who fled, and they fought for more than 600 li in total, and Xun Zhen who made contributions in various battles , Sun Ce and the two armies, there are no less than a hundred officers and men above the intermediate level, but he never imagined that among the hundreds of names, Liu Xie could actually remember the name of Liu Bei!

This should not be deliberately remembered by Liu Xie. After all, who is Liu Bei? Xun Zhen and Sun Ce are just one of the many middle and senior generals in the two armies. From the name alone, there is nothing special about it, and it will not particularly attract Liu Xie's attention. This can only be because Liu Xie is young and has a good memory, or that Liu Xie is a careful person. In any case, this gave Xun Zhen a little surprise.

Xun Zhen smiled and replied: "Your Majesty has a good memory. In the above list of ministers asking for merits for soldiers, the name of Liu Bei was indeed mentioned. Your Majesty, he is in Zheng County..."

Liu Xie's eyes lit up and interrupted Xun Zhen's words, saying: "Yes! I remembered it. During the battle of the public attack on Zheng County, Liu Bei led his troops to fight fiercely with the defenders of Zheng County. In the west of the county town, we finally succeeded in preventing the thieves from helping out. I remember that there seems to be a Sima in his department or some military officer of the Marquis of Qu Jun who was seriously injured in this battle, right?"

Xun Zhen smiled and said: "Your Majesty is right. In the battle of Zheng County, Liu Bei made a lot of contributions, and the court has rewarded him for his merits, and now he is the captain of the cavalry; the wounded officer under his tent is named Shiguan. The injury is certainly not serious, and he was in a coma for a long time before he woke up.

Liu Xie said: "First Zhengxian made meritorious deeds in this battle, then Songshan... No, I said the opposite, it should be said that first, it was to exterminate Lei Bo and Chen Lan's bandits who fled into Songshan, and then fought in Zhengxian this battle. Liu Bei, who has made great achievements in the **** battle, seems to be a daring general." With a smile on his face, he praised Xun Zhen, and said, "There are many strong men and warriors under the public account!"

Zhong Youshi was serving on the side. Seeing that Liu Xie was in high spirits, he interjected with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, there is something that Your Majesty probably doesn't know about."

Liu Xie asked, "What is it, I don't know?"

Zhong Yao said: "Your Majesty, this Liu Bei, he is a clan."

Liu Xie gave a surprised "Oh" and said, "Is it a clan?"

Zhong Yao said: "Yes, Your Majesty, but the specifics, of course, I don't have a clear understanding of the chariots."

At this point, Xun Zhen couldn't help answering, so she greeted Liu Xie's questioning gaze and said to Liu Xie with a smile: "Your Majesty, what Zhong Yao said is right, Liu Bei is indeed a clan, and he is the former Han Zhongshan King Jing. After that, King Jing of Zhongshan had a son, who had the same name as his minister, also named Zhen. He was named the Marquis of Lucheng Ting in Zhuo County, and he was later lost to the Marquis of Shojin, because his family was in Zhuo County. Since Liu Zhen, it has been passed down to Liu Bei for more than ten generations. Liu Bei himself had been apprenticed to Lu Zhi; in the first year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turban thieves revolted, and all the states and counties raised volunteer soldiers. Liu Bei also led his subordinates to participate in the quest for thieves. , but not long afterward, because he was not able to see him, he fought for the post office and gave up his life; he was a classmate with Gongsun Zan, and later he joined Gongsun Zan; and later, he was cast under the tent of the minister, and he fought with the minister to this day."

——"Zhuojin" is the tribute money offered by the princes to the court for sacrifice. In order to combat the power of princes, the former Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had several times deprived him of his title on the pretext that the "shochu gold" sacrificed by the princes was not of good quality or was insufficient. Liu Zhen lost his title of Prince of Ting for this reason. And don't need to say much.

"Prince Jing of Zhongshan" is named Liu Sheng. This former feudal lord of the Han Dynasty is very famous. He is the half-brother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He is very politically intelligent. Children, there are more than one hundred and twenty people.

Of course, Liu Xie would not be ignorant of such a famous prince of the former Han Dynasty. He said, "It turned out to be the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan." He asked in puzzlement, "Xun Gong, since Liu Bei was awarded An Xiwei for his military exploits, he did not Why did you beat the postal supervisor later?"

Xun Zhen stroked his short mustache and smiled and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know anything. At that time, there were many county and county officials who were appointed by the imperial court because of their contributions to the Yellow Turbans. So happy, therefore, some prefectures and prefectures do things like Shatai. Liu Bei suspected that he was in the Shatai, so he patrolled the county in Duyou, and after arriving in the county, he asked him to visit him in order to explore Duyou's words. China Dupost is arrogant

, Judging by the warriors and soldiers, he was lying high in the pavilion and refused to see him. Liu Bei was so angry that he broke into the pavilion, forced him to leave the county, tied him down, and beat him with a stick for two hundred! ...Your Majesty, I almost killed that Governor Mail. After this disaster, Liu Bei knew that he could not stay in the county, so he hung the seal and fled. "

Liu Xie laughed and said, "It's so reckless!"

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you can't really call the word 'reckless'. Although Liu Bei studied under Lu Zhi, Yan Zhaoben was a generous and elegiac man. He was influenced by local customs, and he was a chivalrous person. This cane hits the superintendent in one fell swoop, the minister thought, but it is not surprising.”

To say it's not surprising, it's really not surprising.

In today's world, there are many more people who have served as chivalrous men. Externally, they are the princes of various places, such as Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, etc., and internally, there are high-ranking officials in the dynasty, including the close officials around Liu Xie, Ding Chong, Huangfu, etc. Li and so on, there are quite a few people who have done such absurd things as Shang Qi and Ren Xia when they were young. Compared with those who murdered and avenged, Liu Bei only fought the postal war for two hundred, but he did not kill or kill him. In fact, it was quite measured, not too much.

Talk about it, and before you know it, you have reached the boundary of Yingchuan County.

As mentioned above, Xun Zhen's department was at the head of the entire transfer team, and Xun Chang's department was at the top of Xun Zhen's department. Xun Chang personally came to report to Liu Xie and Xun Zhen: "Report to your majesty, to the general, to all the leaders of Yuzhou Prefecture, Han Ji, the governor of Yingchuan County, the magistrates of Yingchuan counties, Liu Bei and the gentry of Yingchuan counties, Fathers and elders, are at the frontier of the county to welcome His Majesty."

I was talking about Liu Bei, and I heard about Liu Bei again.

Liu Xie asked Xun Zhen strangely, and said, "Why did Liu Bei welcome me at the county boundary? Isn't he in the Duke's army?"

Xun Zhen replied: "Your Majesty, it was the time Yuan Shu and Lü Bu invaded Yingchuan, so Sun Jian, the governor of Yuzhou, unfortunately died in battle. Sun Ce asked the minister for help, and the minister sent Liu Bei to help and attack the troops of Yuan Shu and Lü Bu. In order for Liu Bei to defeat the enemy, At that time, the minister went to the court and named Liu Bei as the prefect of Yingchuan. However, due to the distance of the road, he could not get the imperial edict. The minister had no choice but to take an expedient measure and asked him to temporarily lead Yingchuan. I was fortunate to have the next move, and the minister ordered Liu Bei to return to Yingchuan first to prepare for the drive, so he is now welcoming among the officials and gentry waiting for His Majesty."

Before Liu Xie's car arrived in Luoyang, in order to avoid embarrassment, the imperial court issued an edict in advance to appoint Zhang Hong as Henan Yin and Xun Yan as Henan Commander. To appoint him as the decree of the prefect of Yingchuan?

It is true that Liu Bei did not receive the imperial edict to appoint him as the prefect of Yingchuan.

This is because Xun Zhen did not intend to let Liu Bei continue to be the prefect of Yingchuan, so he did not submit the list to the court to appoint Liu Bei as the prefect of Yingchuan.

After Liu Xie arrived in Xu County, Xu County would become the de facto new capital of the Han Dynasty. At that time, Yingchuan County was like the current Henan Yin, at the foot of the emperor, the district of the first good, the place of the imperial capital, the attention of the Quartet, and politically. The status will be improved by leaps and bounds, and the prefect of Yingchuan will become very important. In such an important position, how could Xun Zhen still ask Liu Bei to hold it?

He and Xi Zhicai had already discussed and decided to transfer Chen Deng from Langya County, Xuzhou to take up this post.

As soon as Liu Xie arrived in Xu County, Xun Zhen would officially recommend Chen Deng's statement.

Then he said, why was Chen Deng transferred to be the prefect of Yingchuan?

Since the position of the prefect of Yingchuan will become very important, why not choose one of Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Chen Qun, etc., and ask the court to hold this position, but transfer Chen Deng from Xuzhou, who is not far away? , to take up this position?

This is for two reasons.

First, Xi Zhicai and others are all from Yingchuan County, and people from this county cannot serve as the prefect of this county.

Second, although Chen Deng's qualifications under Xun Zhen's account are not as good as those of Xi Zhicai and others, he has always been loyal to Xun Zhen, and he is also a person Xun Zhen can trust. At the same time, Chen Deng is very capable, and he can be assured of his abilities.

[To tell the truth, recently I have been using Mimi to read and read books to keep up with updates, switch sources, and read aloud tones, which can be used by Android and Apple. 】

In addition to these two reasons, there is another consideration, that is, Chen Deng is a leader among Xuzhou scholars, and his influence among Xuzhou scholars is second only to Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and other older generations, who transferred him from Xuzhou He served as the prefect of Yingchuan, which was also conducive to consolidating the loyalty and cohesion of those Xuzhou scholars under Xunzhen's account.

Xun Zhen's plan, currently known, only Xi Zhicai waited for a few people, even Liu Bei, also did not know.

After listening to Xun Zhen's explanation, Liu Xie was stunned, nodded, and said, "So it is."

Zhong Yao said: "Your Majesty, these officials and gentry who greeted you must have been waiting for you in the county area. Dare to ask Your Majesty, do you want to meet me?"

"In the future, I will always be in Yingchuan. They are all hosts, so I want to see them."

Zhong Yao knew the story of this dynasty well, and when he heard Liu Xie say the word "host", his heart suddenly moved.

When Emperor Guangwu founded Daye, he once said that Geng Bi was the master of his northern road, and he once said to Deng Chen, "It is better to have one county as my master of the northern road." When Liu Xie moved his car and just arrived at the boundary of Yingchuan County, Liu Xie said the word "host". This was his unintentional remark, or because he wanted to follow the example of Emperor Guangwu and unconsciously imitated Liu Show talk?

Although it was difficult for Zhong Yao to guess, the Holy Intent could not be asked rashly, so he could only put it down without asking.

Zhong Yao passed down the decree on behalf of Liu Xie, ordered the team to suspend their advance, chose a suitable place beside the road, temporarily set up a large tent, and then called the officials and gentry who were waiting to meet him.

After the big tent was built, Liu Xie got off the car and entered the tent to wait.

About half an hour later, more than a hundred people came from the east.

Among these hundreds of people, the old are full of white hair, and the young are in their 20s and 30s. They are officials from the prefecture of Yuzhou, such as Wu Jing, etc.; or officials from Yingchuan, such as Han Ji, Liu Bei, etc. People, and the rest are famous people of the Right nationality in the counties of Yingchuan.

Everyone went to the outside of the tent, and after a short wait, an oracle came out from the tent, inviting them to come in for an audience.

Entering the tent, Wu Jing, Liu Bei, and Han Ji took the lead, and more than a hundred people threw their five bodies on the ground, kowtowed three times and nine times, and gave great salutes.

After the ceremony, everyone fell on the ground and heard the voice of a young man: "President, please get up."

Wu Jing, Liu Bei, Han Ji and others got up from the ground.

Although they stood up, everyone still bowed and looked down, no one dared to look up at Liu Xie, the young emperor.

Another voice sounded, the voice of a middle-aged man, quite calm, and said, "Your Majesty can report your name, please listen to your majesty."

The person who spoke was Zhong Yao.

Wu Jing and Liu Bei were the names of each newspaper.

There are more than a hundred people, and it takes a long time to complete the registration.

The voice of the young man, Liu Xie, sounded again: "I am fortunate to move now, and I am quite uneasy waiting for Mr. Lao to wait in the county border for a long time."

Among the crowd, Wu Jing had the highest status, and he replied: "Since the imperial court was surrounded by Dong thieves and moved westward to Chang'an, I have not heard the news of the imperial court for a long time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Today I can see the honor guard of the Han family again. It is beyond words to express the joy of His Majesty, who does not despise ministers and others as despicable, and invites them to see them."

Liu Xie sighed and said, "It's my incompetence, and I have involved the public."

Wu Jing replied: "When your Majesty is in danger, you will not fall into the imperial court's prestige. If you say that it is involved, the ministers and others failed to remove the thieves for His Majesty as soon as possible. It is useless for the ministers and others! Dare to beg His Majesty to punish them."

Liu Xie said: "Chicai and General Wei are diligent in killing thieves this time. I have listened to the performance. Although Gong et al. did not join the army, they all contributed to it. What is the crime of Gong et al.? Not only innocent, but also meritorious. When we arrive at Xu County, I will award the Dukes and others to reward them for their work!"

Wu Jing and others hurriedly bowed to thank you.

Liu Xie called them up again, probably to express his concern for the people of Yingchuan. He paused and said, "I heard that during Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Yingchuan was also invaded by thieves?"

Wu Jing knew a little about this, and when he heard Liu Xie's question, he told Liu Xie about some of the tragic things he had heard.

Hearing the tragedy, Liu Xie sighed incessantly.

Because Xun Zhen was also in the tent, perhaps it was out of indirect intention to please Xun Zhen. Wu Jing said: "Your Majesty, it has been four or five years since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, and people who know how to use chariots and horses make good use of it. The previous table listed Liu Bei as the prefect of Yingchuan. Liu Bei was diligent in government and love the people. Under his rule, the people's livelihood in Yingchuan was more In the past, there has been a great improvement. Your Majesty will now be relocated, so it can be predicted that the life of the people of Yingchuan will only get better and better in the future, and they will surely live and work in peace and contentment, and spread the praise of His Majesty's virtue."

When Wu Jing, Liu Bei, Han Ji and others introduced themselves just now, Liu Xie listened carefully and already knew who Liu Bei was. Hearing Wu Jing's words, he turned his attention to Liu Bei, who was standing next to Wu Jing. Asked: "Is the Duke Liu Bei?"
