Liu Xie waved his hand, and said slowly: "What's your opinion, let's hear it."

Wang Yi swallowed, and said with difficulty: "I...I think that Liangzhou...doesn't have to have a governor."

There was a "boom", and there were discussions everywhere.Countless people whispered to each other, and there were exclamations everywhere.

"There is no governor?" Someone asked loudly, "How is this possible?"

"That's right. There's no reason not to set up a governor. This is the imperial court system."

Seeing that the atmosphere was too warm, Liu Xie coughed.Cao Ang and Aiken standing aside immediately stepped forward and shouted in a deep voice:

"quiet!"

Everyone immediately shut their mouths and turned their eyes to Liu Xie.

Wang Yi's scalp was numb and his legs were trembling.At this time, two hands stretched out behind her, supporting her.She turned her head to look at Ma Yunlu and Cai Yan, saw the encouraging eyes in their eyes, and finally calmed down.

"How to say?" Liu Xie was curious.

Seeing that Liu Xie didn't blame her for being rude, Wang Yi calmed down a lot.She bowed and saluted, taking the opportunity to swallow and clear her throat.When he spoke again, his voice was much clearer.

"Liangzhou is vast, with two thousand miles from north to south and nearly three thousand miles from east to west. Among the thirteen prefectures, how can there be one like this? Even if Liangzhou has many horses, it is impossible for the governor to patrol the whole territory within a year. It is unavoidable. The prefectures and counties are self-serving and cause troubles, and the governor cannot respond in time, so he can only cover it up deliberately, so as not to affect his own future."

Chapter 604 Darkness Chen Cang

Liu Xie nodded, then turned to look at the three of Jia Xu.

The three veterans had different expressions.

Jia Xu said: "Wang Yi's statement has some truths. Liangzhou is too big for a governor to manage, not even a capable person."

With Jia Xu's support, Wang Yi's confidence increased greatly. He licked his lips and said, "Instead of setting up a governor, it is better not to have one. Let the court choose a prefect to govern the counties. With the size of Liangzhou, a county is as big as it is." Kanto Prefecture is about the same size. According to the history books, the history of assassination is not an ancient system, but it changes with the times. If it is beneficial, it will be put in place, if it is unfavorable, it will be abolished, so there is no need to follow the old ways. Your Majesty, please forgive me for my nonsense and inappropriateness."

Liu Xie waved his hands to signal Wang Yi to take his seat, clapped his hands, and said with a smile, "Masters, Wang Yi's words are innovative. Not to mention whether there is a governor of Liangzhou or not, it changes from time to time, so you don't have to follow the old way of thinking. Appreciated. The speaker is not guilty, you don’t have to worry about it, just speak freely, and I will choose the good one and use it.”

Receiving the emperor's personal praise, Wang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time was a little excited.

Cai Yan and Ma Yunlu gave her a thumbs up to express their congratulations.

Everyone also cast envious eyes and started discussing in low voices.

Jia Xu coughed. "Your Majesty, I also have a few words."

Everyone regained their calm and looked at Jia Xu.

Liu Xie said, "But it doesn't matter."

"I think that Liangzhou is very big, and it is really difficult to take care of a governor. But without a governor, I am afraid that it will not work if the counties report directly to the court. The four counties in Hexi, in particular, are important commercial routes leading to the Western Regions and are related to the Central Plains. The important task of doing business with the Western Regions must be taken seriously. Your Majesty can still take care of it when you are in Jincheng, but once you return to Guanzhong, or even Luoyang, the four Hexi counties will inevitably be out of reach."

Many people's eyes lit up and they immediately nodded in agreement.

Liu Xie also felt reasonable.

Doing business with the Western Regions is not only as simple as doing business to make money, but also a window for the big man to see the world with his eyes open.The stability of the four counties in Hexi is very important and cannot be left alone.If the county reports directly to the imperial court, the lag is too serious and the efficiency cannot be guaranteed.

"The minister suggested that Liangzhou be divided into three states. The four counties of Hexi became one state, Beidi and Anding became one state, and Hanyang, Longxi, Jincheng, and Wudu became one state, each with a governor. After two great victories, hundreds of thousands of Xianbei descendants settled in Beidi, Anding, Wuwei and other places. The minister believes that these counties should be re-planned and set up for easy management. The county and county governments that were previously moved to Senei should all be moved back now."

Jia Xu asked someone to find a map, hung it up, and pointed to the map to explain one by one.

Everyone agreed.

After the two great victories, the remnants of the Xianbei fled, the northern border was stable, and the population increased significantly. It is indeed time to readjust the plan.

Liu Xie listened to Jia Xu's explanation, but he had other ideas in his heart.

Jia Xu probably had this idea a long time ago, but he never found a suitable opportunity to propose it.Taking advantage of Wang Yi's radical point of view this time, it is a manifestation of his good grasp of opportunities.

With Wang Yi's point of view in front, no one would find Jia Xu's idea unacceptable, only that the old minister was reliable.Young people, especially young women, simply cannot be listened to.

But Jia Xu's real intention is not just to facilitate management.

According to his plan to re-plan, Liangzhou is divided into three states, and all counties except the existing four counties in Hexi will become inner counties, and the four counties in Hexi will also receive special attention due to business reasons. Lian and Maocai will have an advantage.

Not to mention, one prefecture has become three prefectures, and the number of maocai who originally had only one quota per year has now become three. In terms of the population of Liangzhou, this ratio will be several times higher than that of Shandong prefecture.

From this point of view, Wang Yi's proposal not to set up a state governor is actually not in the interests of Liangzhou people.

In addition, the transformation of one state into three states can also circumvent the three mutual laws, and the ban on Liangzhou people not being allowed to serve as the governor of Liangzhou can be successfully bypassed. Liangzhou people have the possibility to dominate the fate of Liangzhou.

In the same way, the addition of counties will inevitably increase the number of Ju Xiaolian.The newly attached Xianbei people are counted as population, but there is almost no possibility of being promoted as Xiaolian. These quotas will be divided among the aborigines.

If this suggestion is accepted, Liangzhou will get more opportunities in a short period of time without the extra attention of the court, and more young people will flood into the court.

Liu Xie glanced at Zhou Zhong quietly, and saw Zhou Zhong's slightly frowning brows as expected.

"Zhou Qing, what's your opinion, you might as well speak up."

Zhou Zhong looked a little hesitant, looked up at Liu Xie, and then lowered his head again.He was silent for a moment, then said: "The minister seconded the proposal."

It was not difficult for Liu Xie to understand Zhou Zhong's reaction, but he didn't ask, and looked at other people.

After some discussion, most people agreed with Jia Xu's suggestion, for different reasons.

Liu Xie ordered someone to record it, and asked everyone to continue the discussion after the meeting, and then focus on the discussion again at the next court meeting.

It is not a trivial matter to change the scope of the state, and it is necessary to notify the San Gong and Jiu Qing.

The selection of the governor of Liangzhou was temporarily put on hold, and the matter of the Eastern Expedition was brought up for discussion.

Compared with the differences on the previous topic, there is almost no opposition to this topic, and almost everyone agrees with the emperor's personal conquest.

This may be the last battle, and no one wants to stay out of it and watch Han Sui and others make contributions.

Zhou Zhong immediately raised a question: Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao is not suitable to serve as the forward of the army, especially not suitable to be the main force to reinforce Pengcheng. The court should transfer him from the front line or appoint him to another position.

As soon as Zhou Zhong's words came out, Cao Ang's face flushed red, he was numb and felt ashamed.

Xia Houchong couldn't hold back and stepped forward. "According to Duke Zhou, wouldn't the Liangzhou army be the main force in the Eastern Expedition? They burned Luoyang, looted Yingchuan, and cooked Yingchuan prefect Li Min, which was much more tragic than Yanzhou Mu's killing in Pengcheng."

Zhou Zhong folded his hands in his sleeves and remained silent.

Xia Houchong's words aroused the dissatisfaction of Liangzhou people, and someone immediately stood up to refute.Since the Battle of Huayin, Liangzhou people have followed the emperor to fight and accepted the emperor's teachings. They are no longer the former Liangzhou army.

Some people even said, if the Liangzhou army can't be the main force, who else?

Xia Houchong saw it and knew that he had offended everyone, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he retreated obediently.

But the debate didn't stop there. Everyone was aware of one problem: Liangzhou Army's eastward expedition would inevitably face a question of justice, even if it was the Son of Heaven's own conquest.

The atrocities committed by the Liangzhou army will cause endless troubles, and may even affect the legitimacy of the imperial court. In the future, it is inevitable that some people will compare them to the tiger and wolf division that Qin unified the world.The main force of the Qin people is still the Guanzhong people, who have been strongly opposed by the Shandong people. How can the Liangzhou people be an exception?

Hundreds of years of hostility and exclusion can be reversed by one or two years of enlightenment.

If anyone failed to restrain his subordinates during the Eastern Expedition, it would be almost inevitable that innocent people would be killed indiscriminately again.At that time, who still believes that the Liangzhou army is the king's army, and who still believes that the teachings of the emperor are useful?

Looking at the silent crowd, Liu Xie felt like a big stone was pressing down on his heart.

The pace of the Eastern Expedition has not yet been taken, but the test has already appeared.

He set his sights on Liu Ye and Lu Su.

Chapter 605

Liu Ye has been observing the people present at the meeting, calm as water.

Until Jia Xu proposed to divide Liangzhou into three states, his heart tightened suddenly, and he looked Jia Xu carefully.

Feeling the emperor's gaze, he hesitated for a moment in his heart.

Once upon a time, he was very confident in his plan.But at this moment, he realized that the emperor's initial hesitation was not without reason.Dongzheng has insurmountable difficulties, and his plan to persuade the emperor to appease Liu Biao also has a lot of resistance.

If you want Liu Biao to commit crimes and meritorious deeds, can the people of Liangzhou agree?

The Liangzhou people's rebuttal to Xia Houchong was not only aimed at Cao Cao, but more likely aimed at all potential competitors.

Despite this, Liu Ye stood up, first bowed to Liu Xie, and then looked around.

"Your Majesty, each gentleman has his own advantages and disadvantages in what he said. I dare to make some additions to his partiality."

"Speak." Liu Xie said succinctly.

"Wei." Liu Ye bowed and cupped his hands again. "As you said, Liangzhou is vast, with heroes and tyrants emerging in endlessly. The Xiliang army who was evil in Shandong back then could not represent all Xiliang people. Even Dong Zhuo, the culprit, was a warrior who guarded the border. At this moment, It's just a moment. Merit and demerit should be discussed separately, and should not be mixed up. If you ask for completeness and blame, who dares to say that he is a perfect person, and he has never done anything wrong in his life?"

Everyone looked at Liu Ye quietly, some nodded in agreement, while others dismissed it.

When Liu Xie inspected Liangzhou, it was obvious to all that he attached great importance to Liangzhou, and he also paid enough respect to Liangzhou Sanming headed by Duan Jiong, but his evaluation of Dong Zhuo was still inconclusive.But everyone knows that even if Duan Yan, Zhang Ji and others are still the main force, it is inappropriate to completely deny Dong Zhuo.

If Dong Zhuo's actions are all wrong, where does the legitimacy of the emperor's accession to the throne come from?

This issue is too sensitive and it is not yet time to resolve it.

Liu Ye's proposal to distinguish between merit and demerit may seem bold, but in fact it is nothing more than bringing this potential consensus to the surface.

"Your Majesty has carried out enlightenment in Liangzhou for two years, and the results have been remarkable. Today's Xiliang is no longer the Xiliang of two years ago. Today's Xiliang Army is not the Xiliang Army under Dong Zhuo's command in the past. When the east came out, the generals But according to His Majesty's will, restrain the troops so as not to disturb the people. Even if there is a moment of panic, there is no need to make a fuss. What you hear is delusion, but what you see is true. When the people of Shandong see that the army has not committed any crimes in autumn, they will naturally eat pots of pulp to welcome them Master Wang."

Zhou Zhong said: "Even so, Yanzhou has never promoted enlightenment."

Liu Ye turned around to Zhou Zhong, bowed his head in greeting. "What the doctor said is true. I just dare to ask the doctor, since the first year of Chuping, Yanzhou Mu has fought for more than seven years. Will there be a second incident in Xuzhou?"

Zhou Zhong shook his head. "Not really."

"Yanzhou Mu has fought for seven years, and now he is guarding the eastern gate for the imperial court, recruiting thousands of yellow scarves in Qingzhou. Although Xuzhou's evil deed of massacring the city is worthwhile, how can we just abandon it lightly?" Liu Ye turned to Liu Xie and cupped his hands. : "Your Majesty, I think that Yanzhou Mu can be used. It's just that your Majesty will take strict responsibility to prevent it from happening again. Otherwise, you will be severely punished. Don't say that you didn't predict it. If this is the case, the people in Shandong will abandon evil and do good, and be Your Majesty's pioneers." , and don’t have to be afraid of the past and make mistakes again and again.”

Zhou Zhong raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly, expressing his support for Liu Ye.

If the emperor can accept Liu Ye's suggestion, not only Cao Cao can be pardoned, but others can also put down their burdens and serve the court.

He opposed Cao Cao as a striker, just worried that Cao Cao's evil deeds would damage the court's reputation, not that he wanted Cao Cao to be dismissed.

Among the generals in Shandong, Cao Cao's ability is obvious to all.If they can take advantage of this opportunity to make meritorious service, the Shandong people will have more strength in the army in the future, which will help them compete with the Liangzhou people.

Shandong is the prime minister, and Shanxi is the general.Generals like Cao Cao have their own value.

After answering Zhou Zhong's question, Liu Ye immediately got to the point.

He suggested that the imperial court appease Liu Biao, and then use Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao as the forward, the Northern Army Zhonghou Sun Rui's Department in Taiyuan, the former General Duan Yan's Department in Shangdang, Hanoi Prefect Dong Zhao's Department as the left wing, the Hushi General's Department in Nanyang, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao's troops are on the right wing, attacking in an all-round way.

The emperor personally led the Chinese army, stationed in Luoyang, and commanded it in the center.

According to this situation, there is no need to fight, and the situation alone can force Yuan Shao to withdraw his troops and break the siege of Pengcheng.

To subdue the enemy's army without fighting is the best kindness.

In this way, the possibility of generals being out of bounds can also be minimized.

After Liu Xie listened halfway, he guessed Liu Ye's intentions and understood why Zhou Zhong didn't object.

This is simply stealing merit.

Among the generals who participated in the battle, only former general Duan Yan and hussar general Zhang Ji were from Xiliang, and they could not monopolize their merits.

Liangzhou people made a background board, which is a silly tiger whose prestige was borrowed by the Shandong fox.

Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu and Ma Teng.

Ma Teng was a little upset, but didn't say anything.

It is difficult to satisfy him with such a mobilization of troops without the opportunity to fight the enemy.

Jia Xu nodded calmly, expressing support for Liu Ye's suggestion.

As for Zhou Zhong, he didn't have much to say, he nodded his head in a hurry.

When Liu Xie saw this, he didn't say anything else, and ordered someone to draft an edict, and consulted with the fake Taiwei Yang Biao, Situ Zhao Wen, and Sikong Zhang Xi respectively.One of these three people is in northern Xinjiang, one is in Guanzhong, and the other is in Yizhou, so it is naturally impossible to discuss.Giving them an imperial edict is only out of politeness.

Liu Xie ordered all ministries to prepare for departure and make preparations for entering Guanzhong.

The first thing to do right now is to transfer Yan Xing back to Jincheng.

-

At the end of the meeting, everyone bid farewell.

Cao Ang rushed out of the tent and bowed to thank Liu Ye.

Liu Ye smiled and said a few words of politeness. "It's the Son of Heaven who is wise. You don't have to thank me for not abandoning Yanzhou Mu. This is a good opportunity to make amends. I hope Yanzhou Mu will not miss it. Is there nothing wrong with it? There is nothing good about it."

"Thank you for your advice." Cao Ang bowed again and watched Liu Ye leave slowly.

Cao Cao's massacre of the city in Xuzhou was like a boulder, which has been weighing on his heart.Now that Liu Ye formally proposed a solution at the court meeting and got the permission of the emperor, this is undoubtedly a relief.

His gratitude to Liu Ye was beyond words, so he had to keep it in his heart and repay him when he had the opportunity in the future.

Lu Su and Liu Ye walked side by side, and when they left the camp, they saw Cao Ang standing in the distance, and couldn't help laughing: "Zi Yang, this son is loyal and filial, and will become a great weapon in the future, surpassing his father."
