Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 7 Can I Give a County Magistrate Dangdang
Before Zou Jing could answer, Gongsun Zan sneered and said, "If a few troublemakers make trouble, a few officials can settle it down. Why go to western Liaoning to recruit foreign cavalry?"

Liu He said calmly: "The biggest hidden danger in all dynasties has always been civil unrest. Now Shi Changshi has made people resentful and unstable. Magistrate Gongsun must not underestimate the people."

"Hahaha, Xianbei and Wuhuan are not afraid, let alone those unarmed thugs?" Gongsun Zan smiled proudly, and clasped his fists at Zou Jing and Liu Qi: "In this Zhuo County, although there are many refugees, there are some Who dares to make trouble?"

Liu He admires Gongsun Zan's dominance at this point. In fact, there was also a Taiping Sect in Zhuoxian County, but Gongsun Zan directly led people to suppress them. He was either arrested and imprisoned or deported. Perhaps this is why there was no Yellow Turban Uprising in Zhuoxian County. .

However, it can also be seen from the other side that Gongsun Zan did not know how to be considerate of the people at this time. He was very strong in many political orders in Zhuo County, mainly in the military aspect. In addition, many political and civil matters were actually handled by Liu Qi, the governor of Zhuo County. of.

With such an old father-in-law wiping his butt, Gongsun Zan naturally did his job smoothly.

Seeing that Liu He didn't speak, Gongsun Zan became more and more proud. He waved the imperial decree in his hand and said to Liu He, "However, I have been promoted to the commander of the marching army, and I have other important things to do for the court. Let's say goodbye."

Liu Qi knew his son-in-law best, so he quickly explained: "The Hanyang thieves Bian Zhang, Han Sui and Qiang Hu made trouble in Liangzhou and invaded Sanfu in the east. To aid in the battle, Bogui is quite famous in the frontier, so it is most suitable for him to recruit troops."

"So that's it!" Liu He nodded slightly. It seemed that there was trouble in Xiliang first, which was also a sign that the whole Han Dynasty was in turmoil. Fill holes.

Zou Jing also said: "In addition to your father's family letter, I also have an imperial edict to worship my virtuous nephew as my servant. You will also go to Luoyang soon."

"Servant?" Liu He was slightly taken aback and frowned.

Sure enough, it was still the same as in history, Liu He's official worship, although this official was around the emperor, equivalent to the emperor's adviser, but in fact it was not within the scope of regular official positions, and it was also a idle position.

This is obviously because Liu Yu found an errand for his son after receiving his letter. It is a fat job to stay with the emperor, and he is also a Han family clan, so he will naturally have the opportunity to be reused, and even reach the sky in one step.

But what Liu He was thinking at this moment was that Liu Daer had arrived in Luoyang smoothly.

This time changed the trajectory of Liu Bei's fate. I don't know if he, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others will have an early intersection, and even change the subsequent historical trend.

Just as he was thinking, he heard Gongsun Zan snort slightly, and glanced at Liu He with contempt in his eyes.

He cupped his fists at Zou Jing and said, "The military situation is urgent. I will set off immediately to recruit troops in western Liaoning. I will do my best to fight against the thieves and protect the safety of the imperial court!"

Gongsun Zan said the last words when he turned his head to look at Liu He. The meaning couldn’t be more obvious. You just rely on your father to live in court and wait for death. Protect?

Seeing that the two seemed to be at odds, Zou Jing nodded and said, "General Huangfu has sworn to send troops, and the rescue is like putting out a fire. I will be in charge of this trip."

"Farewell!" Gongsun Zan cupped his fists, turned around and strode out of the county office, showing no nostalgia for this little county magistrate.

In fact, his tenure as the county magistrate of Zhuo County was nothing more than gold-plated, just waiting for the opportunity to lead the army, which was arranged by Liu Qi for him.

Gongsun Zan was originally from western Liaoning. Although he was born in a noble family, he was often ridiculed because of his mother's humble status, so he only became a minor official.

But because of his handsome looks, he was appreciated by Liu Qi, the prefect of Zhuojun County, and married his daughter to him. Later, he was promoted to Xiaolian and promoted to Liaodong Changshi.

No matter which era you are in, it is actually a society that looks at faces!
Gongsun Zan was handsome, tall and burly, with a loud voice and the generosity of a man from Yanzhao. Even in later generations, he was not comparable to those little fresh meats.

Moreover, Gongsun Zan was highly skilled in martial arts. When patrolling the pass, he single-handedly killed the Xianbei people, preventing the Xianbei people from crossing the border easily, so he was promoted to the county magistrate of Zhuo County for his meritorious service.

Liu He guessed that Gongsun Zan was able to go to Zhuo County because of the help of his father-in-law Liu Qi, otherwise he would not have come to work under his father-in-law by such a coincidence.

It's really unreasonable for this kid to look down on himself, who eats soft food and is in the top position!
After Gongsun Zan left, Zou Jing also took the letter to Liu He, and said with a smile: "My nephew risked his life to fight against the bandits, his courage is commendable, he saved his father from being injured, he felt filial piety to the world, he has been honored as filial piety, congratulations. "

Liu He took the letter, clasped his fists and said, "There were so many thieves at that time, and I had to protect myself in a hurry. Fortunately, my father was safe and sound, and I still have lingering fears when I think about it."

The election of officials in the Han Dynasty was based on the review system, mainly relying on the recommendation of celebrities and ministers. Xiaolian and Maocai were the stepping stones to becoming officials. The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, it was controlled by the nobles, and celebrity comments were also very important, which basically made it impossible for poor scholars to become officials. Even Cao Cao had to go to Xu Shao for monthly reviews. Others can imagine.

Liu He knew that this Xiaolian must have been helped by Liu Yu, but the fact that the Lord saved people was indeed true, and there was nothing fake about it.

But he is really not interested in this servant. Although the central government is the center of power, Luoyang is now like a quagmire, and everyone there is deeply trapped in it and cannot extricate themselves!
So many ministers can't change Lingdi's trust in the ten permanent servants, and his own people are soft-spoken, and it will be useless to go.

In the coming troubled times, only developing one's own strength is the foundation of one's life, and going to Luoyang will only lead to being submerged by the torrent.

It's not that big fists make sense, but big fists make sense.

Otherwise, it is a scholar who meets a soldier, and the reason is unclear!

Zou Jing and Liu Qi praised him a few times and asked, "I wonder when my nephew will set off?"

"I want to stay in Youzhou!" Liu He shook his head, looked at the two and asked, "Gongsun county magistrate is going to recruit troops, and there is a vacancy in Zhuo County, can you give me a county magistrate?"

"This..." Zou Jing was stunned. Seeing Liu He's words so lightly, he thought that being a magistrate was just a small official. How could it be so simple to play a house?

He looked at Liu Qi, who smiled helplessly, grabbed the goat's beard and shook his head.

Zou Jing asked: "Why doesn't my nephew go to Luoyang? What an honor it is to accompany the king? Why would you rather stay here in the bitter cold?"

Liu Heyan said: "The frontier of Youzhou has been troubled for a long time. I have practiced martial arts for three years. I just want to resist the Hu people, fight on the battlefield like Gongsun Dudu, protect the border, and prevent Hu'er from stepping into my territory. I don't want to become an official in the court. "

Hearing Liu He's praise of Gongsun Zan and his son-in-law as an example, Liu Qi showed a happy father-like smile, stroked his beard and said, "With the talent of a son, the head of any county is more than enough. It's just that the appointment of officials above the county level needs to be reported. Approved by the imperial court! If the son is really so ambitious, I can recommend it for you."
