Chapter 609

The camera returns to Guanzhong a little bit, or when Liu Ting woke up again and got up from the bed alertly, their large troops had already entered Hangu Pass.

Tens of thousands of large troops participated in the attack on Li Ming, and the Black Mountain Army even gave up their foundation in Taihang Mountain and went south to set up an ambush. Unexpectedly, they still failed to keep Li Ming.But it's no one's fault, who would have thought that Li Ming was able to drive the big monster to help out.

"We invested so much to defeat Li Ming, why did we still fail?" Liu Ting lay on the bed, muttering to himself, but no one answered for a long time.

Only then did he realize that Shen Ye, who had been by his side all along, didn't seem to be by his side. After more than 30 years, he has become accustomed to having Shen Ye by his side when he is thinking. After becoming king and emperor, he also has independent thinking, but when he encounters important problems, he is still used to calling Shen Ye over. .

"Where's Shen Ye?" Liu Ting asked casually.

"Shen Jinwu hasn't returned yet..." The guard shook his head, "Shen Jinwu decided to activate the Beiman formation and stay there with more than 20 Taoist priests."

"Idiot! He doesn't need to do it himself to trigger the formation!" Liu Ting roared angrily.But after thinking about it, he realized that the cornerstone of the formation was the secret treasure of a big man, and Shen Ye couldn't just hand it over to others for use.

"He hasn't come back yet?" Liu Ting only felt that it was a mess. After losing Shen Ye, he found that he had lost the ability to make decisions.He didn't even know what to do next, a strong sense of disharmony swept over him.

"There is still no news..." The guard shook his head.

After waiting for three days, there was no news from Shen Ye, and finally received the news on the fifth day that Shen Ye and more than 20 Taoist priests had been killed in Beimang Mountain.The situation at that time was also gradually gathered through the intelligence personnel of Han Soul.

"Zhongda, what was the specific process like?" The news came so suddenly that Liu Ting couldn't accept the fact.

Sima Zhongda, also known as Sima Yi, is a 25-year-old young man. The entire Sima family has defected to the imperial court, and both Sima Lang and Sima Fu serve in the imperial court.Only the second son, Sima Yi, joined Han Soul and became an intelligence officer.

In other words, it was developed by Shen Ye and trained as a successor, which is why Liu Ting will find him now.

"The thing is like this..." Sima Yi slowly spoke out the information he had detected, without any emotion, but he still managed to restore what happened at that time through some fragmented fragments.

"You are very good!" Liu Ting was stunned for a while, "You will be the Jinwu guard in the future!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sima Yi bowed his hands and accepted the order. He knew very well what the Jinwu Guard meant, which was equivalent to being a close minister of the emperor.

Let Sima Yi go down to rest, but Liu Ting kept recalling the last words Shen Ye said to him.News has come from ahead that Yuan Shao has been killed by Yuan Tan, and the entire Jizhou has also fallen into Li Ming's hands.

Ma Teng gained a firm foothold in Bingzhou, while Sun Jian was at Hangu Pass, and Li Ming was not allowed to fight for the time being.Rao is so, without Hanoi and Henan Yin, plus Jizhou, the imperial court's territory is constantly weakening.The [-] imperial court elites died on the battlefield. For Li Ming's side, it was only a layer of skin, but for the imperial court, it was a wound.

"There is no way to take the initiative to attack without ten years, but he probably won't give us ten years!" Liu Ting is very clear that in the next few days, he will enter a state of passive defense.This duel was completely a complete defeat.

The only thing that can be done is the battle situation in Nanzhong. I have to say that Shen Ye's final arrangement still worked. Nanzhong finally regained the two counties. It prevented Peng Hu and Xiao Yao from attacking.

Thanks to the environmental factors there, after all, it is obviously not suitable for assembling heavy catapults there.Just thinking of this kind of weapon made Liu Ting very depressed. Li Ming has such a sharp weapon. If they want to attack the city in the future, what will they use to resist it?

It had been a day since he returned to the palace, but he finally decided to find Chen Qun first.Without Shen Ye, he needed a way to balance the various clans.They will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to fight for more power.Liu Ting suddenly realized that there is really no one around him who he can completely trust.

"It was I who betrayed you..." Liu Ting looked at the empty imperial study and muttered in a low voice.Some things are actually like this. Only when you lose it can you know how to cherish it, and then it is accompanied by regret.

"Your Majesty, Yilang Chen Qun is here to see you!" The attendant came to announce that Chen Qun was already waiting outside.

Chen Qun came from the Chen family of Yingchuan, a well-known Confucian classics and political family in the Han Dynasty.King Wu of Zhou married his eldest daughter, Daji, to the 33rd generation descendant of Emperor Shun, Guiman, and sealed her in the land of Chen, established the Kingdom of Chen, and worshiped Emperor Shun.After the death of Guiman, his posthumous title was "Hugong", he was Chen Hugong, and he was the ancestor of the Chen family in Yingchuan.

Chen Qun's father, Chen Ji, used to be the Dahonghe, and he went to live in seclusion due to the chaos of the party. He was quite famous among the gentry; World, collectively known as "Yingchuan Four Chiefs".

Perhaps it was because the Xun family benefited from supporting Li Ming, and the Chen family did their best to join the court.Shen Ye's planning contributed to the smooth promotion of the imperial examination system, but without Chen's help, it would not have been so easy.

"Your Majesty!" Chen Qun entered the imperial study and saluted Liu Ting.

"Our army has suffered heavy losses in this decisive battle, and I am afraid that we will be on the defensive for a long time. But the most important thing is that Shen Ye was killed, and other aristocratic families are afraid that they will seize the opportunity to fight for power. I don't want the current policy to be overturned. Aiqing, does Ai Qing have a good strategy?" Liu Ting decided to trust Chen Qun, after all, he was recommended by Shen Ye.

"Your Majesty, in the current situation, if you don't release some benefits, I'm afraid the aristocratic family will continue to bite you. If this is the case, if you don't take the initiative to give up some benefits, then they will have no chance to bite. I have an idea, If it goes well, it will allow the various families to bite each other, and then His Majesty will benefit from it, and even take the opportunity to balance the various forces, so that certain forces can be used by His Majesty!" Chen Qun said slowly.

"Oh, what is Aiqing's good plan?" Liu Ting immediately became interested when he heard the words.

"This idea of ​​the minister is the nine-rank Zhongzheng system!" Chen Qun put forward his opinion, "Chu has already carried out political reforms, and the cabinet system and the system of various ministries are very suitable for their Great Chu, but not suitable for our Great Han! I try to think about it." However, the final conclusion is that the nine-rank Zhongzheng system is more suitable for us big men!"

"How about it?" Liu Ting naturally knew about Li Ming's reforms. Their reforms were based on Li Ming's absolute control over his subjects, and the various families had to compromise before they could implement them.On the contrary, the big man can't do it. If the cabinet system is implemented casually, the power of the monarch is likely to be emptied, especially at the current stage.

"The specifics are..." Chen Qun explained the specific content of the Jiupin Zhongzheng System. This system inherits the official selection system of the Han Dynasty and is directly linked to the imperial examination system. The key is to create an environment for the family to bite. It is suitable for the status quo of the big man.

"You are a talent, I should get closer to you in the future!" Liu Ting nodded upon hearing this, Chen Qun is indeed very good.

 In fact, when Cao Pi came to the throne, the power of the aristocratic family had already risen.Affected by the 'Recruitment Order', it has become more difficult for Wei Guo's humble family to stand out.Chen Qun proposed the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, which was when Cao Pi was at his peak in the Spring and Autumn Period. If it can be properly regulated, it may not be impossible to profit from it.However, Cao Pi died too early, and Cao Rui was too young to control various elites, so that the Jiupin Zhongzheng System could not exert its original effect, but the side effects continued to increase.
