Three Kingdoms

Li Ru closed the memorial, thoughtfully.

In the memorial, Cai Yong did not mean to take any credit at all. Instead, he emphasized many times that the entire assimilation strategy was Fei Qian's idea. He also used some historical changes in the merger of states over the years to illustrate the importance of this plan, hoping that the emperor would pay attention to it. and support, sincere words and sincere words.

Li Ru thought of the paragraph at the end of the memorial and pondered the meaning of Cai Yong's words. He suddenly smiled and shouted loudly: "Come here, send this memorial to the Beigong to present it to Your Majesty!" Anyway, this matter doesn't matter. What a big deal, so what if we let the emperor see it?

The waiter finally left with the memorial, but Li Ru fell into thinking. Bingzhou's current situation was actually determined by its history.

Back then, Bingzhou and Youzhou were quite prosperous for a while!

"...The ancestors determined the world with the secrets of the state, the soldiers and the cavalry..." Li Ru suddenly recited a meaningless sentence, then picked up the appointment of Fei Qian drafted by the minister, thought about it for a while, picked up the pen, and wrote on the appointment. After changing a few words on the circle, he sealed it with fire paint and asked the waiter to deliver it to the Chancellor's desk.

To be honest, Li Ru is not very optimistic about the so-called assimilation strategy, because Bingzhou has been close to Rongdi since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so there are many differences in customs from inland areas. The so-called Hufu in Zhao State Riding and shooting can only be promoted with this kind of martial foundation.

The inheritance of military force is not lacking in Bingzhou, but what about the inheritance of civil affairs...

Li Ru shook his head slightly. The cultural affairs in Bingzhou were similar to his own, and they were also excluded from the so-called orthodox culture of the Central Plains. If Fei Qian Fei Ziyuan wanted to go to Bingzhou to implement the assimilation strategy, the first thing he had to do was Do you have the courage to take this level!

Originally, Wang Yun decided to let Fei Qian go to Yanmen County - Yanmen is just north of Taiyuan. Of course, Yanmen is also an important pass in the north of Bingzhou, but after all, it is Taiyuan to the south, and adjacent to Jizhou and Youzhou to the east. State, so for Li Ru, this is not a good choice.

After all, Taiyuan is Wang Yun's territory.

But when he thought of the appointment he had given Fei Qian, Li Ru wanted to laugh a little. Fei Qian, Fei Ziyuan, was really slippery. Last time in the court, he originally wanted to put some pressure on Fei Qian, but he didn't expect this. The boy held back an auspicious sign and came out...

This time I will give you another difficult problem and see what tricks you can come up with!

Then Li Ru put this matter aside. For the moment, moving the capital tomorrow is the top priority, and there can be no mistakes...

× × × × × × × × × ×

With Li Ru's confirmation, the appointment letter regarding Fei Qian came out soon from the Shangshutai.

In the Han Dynasty, there were not so many rules unless you were worshiping generals at the altar. There were no such things as fasting for three days, setting up an incense table, and nothing else. All you had to do was wear formal clothes and perform a grand ceremony.

When Fei Qian made a solemn salute, and after hearing the clichés of being diligent in serving the country and being loyal to the country from Xiaohuangmen, when he got the appointment letter, he opened it and was dumbfounded. He didn't do anything like this...

This is really beyond Fei Qian's expectation. How come it was sealed here?

This really puzzled Fei Qian. According to the usual practice, he was supposed to give Xiao Huangmen who came to deliver the appointment letter a red envelope to thank him for running errands. The blow was so severe that Fei Qian himself even forgot to give it.

Fortunately, although Huang Cheng looked simple and honest, he was actually shrewd. Upon seeing this, he stepped forward and secretly handed the red envelope to Xiao Huangmen for Fei Qian. Although Xiao Huangmen, who is accustomed to observing words and expressions in the palace, does not know the specific circumstances of Fei Qian's appointment, he can tell by looking at Fei Qian's expression that this appointment may be a bit deceptive, so he can understand it to some extent, although it is a little bit. He was unhappy, but he didn't blame Fei Qian for not knowing the rules. He cupped his hands and left.

Cui Hou, who was outside the door, escorted Xiao Huangmen all the way, probably stuffing another portion into his mouth. Only then did he see Xiao Huangmen beaming with joy and walking away chatting and laughing...

Cui Hou sent Xiaohuangmen away, and when he came back, he felt something was wrong. He hesitated for a moment, then came over and asked: "Where is this... Ziyuan sealed?"

Fei Qian glanced at Cui Hou, and pointed to the appointment letter issued by the Chancellor spread out on the table with a sad face, meaning that Cui Hou could read it himself.

Cui Hou blinked his little eyes, walked to the table, turned his head and took a look, his little eyes suddenly widened from the size of a mung bean to the size of a soybean...

This is too confusing!

Although the name looks good, but...but...

Cui Hou turned his head and looked at Fei Qian. For a moment, he really didn't know what to say. Let's say some comforting words. Didn't it just prove that Fei Qian was deceived? Let me say some words of encouragement. I am just a friend, and I am still white. It is inappropriate...

Fei Qian frowned and took the appointment letter again. He looked left and right, as if trying to decipher the few words. He was constantly trying to figure out what the appointment letter contained. significance.

Yesterday, the Cai Mansion sent some information about Bingzhou. Fei Qian looked through it and found that the current situation in Bingzhou was riddled with holes. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it...

It was much worse than he originally imagined!

Bingzhou was originally occupied by local tycoons, and in the Western Han Dynasty, and even at the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it appeared as a big state with strong military strength, especially a large number of generals. In the process of fighting against the Xiongnu, it made considerable achievements. contribute.

But the interesting thing about all this is that with the decline of the Xiongnu, Bingzhou also declined.

During the Western Han Dynasty, there were four surnames in Bingzhou: Wei, Linghu, Chang, and Feng. However, with the decline of Bingzhou, inward migration, and destruction, only the Wei family who moved inland to Hanoi remained in the Western Han Dynasty. , the Feng family, Linghu family and Chang family of Shangdang have declined and disappeared. In addition to the Taiyuan Wang family that emerged during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Shangdang Bao family (later moved to Shandong) became the actual ruler of the new Bingzhou gentry. people.

However, due to the policies and measures of the Eastern Han Dynasty towards the Hu people, and the problems left by the Green Forest and Red Eyebrow armies, Bingzhou, like Youzhou, gradually moved into a forgotten corner, and slowly transformed from a large state with complete military and food supplies. It became a bitter and cold place...

Fei Qian suddenly understood the meaning of this appointment letter. Because Dong Zhuo now controlled the government, although Wang Yun was in charge of the Shangshutai, this appointment must have been made by Li Ru.

Therefore, according to this appointment letter, Li Ru may have several meanings:

One is to let Fei Qian know that, just like the official position given by Li Ru, Bingzhou is very big, but it is also very empty. It is up to Fei Qian to decide how to do it...

Secondly, Fei Qian wants to implement some assimilation strategy in Bingzhou, so he should first deal with the barbarians in this place and then talk about other things...

Third, the more secretive meaning is to tell him not to get too close to Wang Yun and his gang, but to stay closer to Yongzhou, which means Dong Zhuo's side is better...

Diao Chan clasped her hands together and recited the Buddha's verse: "All love and affection can never last forever. There are many fears in this life, and life is in danger of morning dew. From love comes sorrow, from love comes fear. If you are separated from the one you love, there will be no worries. terror."

After finishing reading, he quietly mounted his horse and walked westward slowly.

Guan Yu chased him up, took the red rabbit presented by Cao Cao, and said: "You can ride this horse. Are you injured, or... or..."

Diao Chan shook her head and let her horse go.

Looking at her back, those eight Buddhist verses could not help but linger in my ears.

The bay-red horse next to him watched the white horse go further and further away, and couldn't help but neigh sadly...
