Three Kingdoms: Unlimited Premium Gift Pack

hum!

Just after saying this sentence, Liu Zhi couldn't hold on any longer, his head went dizzy, and he lost consciousness;

When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was already lying on the couch, the imperial physician Ling Qiaofeng beside the couch was looking at him with concern, and the concubine Tian Sheng who was on the other side was already crying like pear blossoms and rain.

"Your Majesty! You're awake! You're finally awake!" Qiao Feng and Tian Sheng's happy voices sounded almost simultaneously.

Cao Jie, who was guarding at the gate of the hall, also hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, you have finally woken up! If you don't wake up again, you will scare this old servant to death!"

Nonsense, if the emperor died here for no apparent reason, Cao Jie, who concealed the news, would never survive!

"I... I'm fine!"

Liu Zhi felt that he was fine, and asked, "How long has it been since I was in a coma? How many people know about this?"

Cao Jie said: "Your Majesty passed out in a coma for only about an hour. No one knew about it except the maidservant, the imperial physician Ling Qiaofeng and nobleman Hetian."

"That's good." Liu Zhichang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Qiao Feng again, and asked, "What kind of disease do I have? Is it serious?"

"Uh, it's about His Majesty's dragon body, this, this..." Qiao Feng was distressed, hesitant to speak.

Liu Zhidao: "My concubine, Cao Changshi, you all go down."

"Yes."

In the blink of an eye, only Qiao Feng and Liu Zhi were left in Roufang Hall.

Only then did Qiao Feng struggle to open his mouth, and said, "Your Majesty, I have carefully examined your body just now, and it is really... really... terminally ill!"

"Ah? Terminally ill? How is this possible? I... I feel that I am doing very well now!" Liu Zhi's expression was full of disbelief.

Qiao Feng said, "That's because I gave you the technique of crossing the calamity with the golden needle. However, this technique can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause."

"Then...then how long do I have?"

"If His Majesty is in a happy mood, God bless, there should be seven or eight months."

"That is to say, I can live another seven or eight months at most?"

Liu Zhi didn't know that according to the normal development of history, he only had less than a month to live.

After his death, he will be given the posthumous title of Emperor Huan of Han by those scholars who hated him deeply.

That is, the appearance of Liu Yan made him feel much happier than in history, and he also lived a few months longer for Emperor Huan.

He doesn't feel at all that he has made money now, only a strong unwillingness in his heart.

Not reconciled!

I am not reconciled!

I ascended to the throne at the age of 15, and endured humiliation for 13 years before relying on the eunuchs to mobilize in one fell swoop to overthrow the "dominant general" Liang Ji who poisoned the previous emperor.

Since the relatives fell, the eunuchs thought they had meritorious service, and the common people were fish and meat, so I had to deal with the eunuchs.

Then, the Qiang rebellion broke out, and I had to sell my officials to raise military expenses to deal with the Qiang rebellion.

There are also scholars who challenge my authority in the name of opposing the eunuchs, and I have no choice but to launch the "party ban" to teach the scholars a harsh lesson.

After careful calculation, I have been in office for 21 years, and I have hardly had a good day!

It's hard work, the Qiang chaos is about to be put down, and I'm going to make a big splash, but there are only a few months left?

God, are you kidding me?

After I die, how will those scholars organize me?

How will those eunuchs play with the new king?

And most importantly, what is the fate of Tian Sheng, my favorite woman?

Who will tell me what I should do to keep Tian Sheng safe!

Maybe... maybe... that's all.

Liu Zhi gritted his teeth slightly, finally made up his mind, and said, "Physician Qiao, you should know what to say after you go out."

"Your Majesty Tian occasionally feels the wind and cold today, and my minister came to see a doctor, which has nothing to do with His Majesty."

"Very well, let's go."

"Yes."

Qiao Feng left Roufang Hall.

Liu Zhi called Cao Jie in again, and said, "Who gave you this official document? But that Wei Zhongxian who recently entered the palace with bribes?"

"Don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, yes."

"Is he from Liu Yan, Marquis of Hanshouting?"

"Should... it should be?"

"I entrust you with two things: first, try to promote Wei Zhongxian. Within two months, let him become the head of the Roufang Palace. Second, all court ladies and eunuchs who know that Wei Zhongxian is related to Han Shouting Hou will be silenced! "

"Your Majesty, do you want to..."

"Don't worry about what I want to do, just carry out the will. In addition, you go and call Wei Zhongxian to me now."

"According to the order!"

Not much effort, Wei Zhongxian brought it.

The ceremony is over.

Liu Zhi asked straight to the point: "Liu Yan has pacified Xiliang for me within three months. I don't know what kind of reward do you want? Don't beat around the bush, just tell me."

"Uh... I don't dare to lie. Xiliang is at the beginning of peace, and people's hearts are uncertain. Please lead the army to station in Xiliang, the Marquis of Hanshouting, and be the governor of the six states of Xiliang to ensure the safety of Xiliang."

"What about the pacification of the Eastern Qiang? Liu Yan is willing to let this good job go?"

After the Western Qiang was pacified, there were two options that could be implemented.

First, Liu Yan and Duan Jiong each left part of their troops to suppress Xiliang, and the other part was brought to Dongliang by them to quell the Qiang rebellion.

Second, Liu Yan and Duan Jiong, one suppressed Xiliang, and the other went to Dongliang.

Pacifying the Eastern Qiang is a battle that must be won.

The first option is the fairest.

The second plan is: whoever sends troops to Dongliang will make great contributions to the complete suppression of the Qiang, and will be promoted to rank.Whoever is stationed in Xiliang has worked hard in vain and suffered a great loss.

Wei Zhongxian said firmly: "For the sake of the country, Marquis Hanshouting is willing to guard Xiliang for His Majesty, regardless of personal gains and losses."

"That's it..." Liu Zhi said: "Liu Yan wants to suppress Xiliang Prefecture, and as the governor of the six counties of Xiliang, he wants the military and political power of Xiliang! Alright, I will give him the military power of Xiliang! But , his job is not the governor of Xiliang Prefecture, but... the shepherd of Xiliang Prefecture!"

What Liu Zhi thought was, since I gave Liu Yan so much power, he should be able to protect the safety of my beloved woman in the future, right?

But hearing these words in Wei Zhongxian's ears, it was shocking!

It's not the governor who appointed the prince, but the state shepherd?

This... is this too generous?

State Shepherd!

This is the state shepherd!

Much more noble than the governor of the state, shepherd!

Dahan Thirteen States, the first and only state shepherd!

Even if Xiliang only has half of the state, it can definitely be called the best in the world, shocking the world!

Chapter 59 Duan Jiong: I owe Han Shouting Hou a huge favor

The governor and the state shepherd are completely different things.

The governor, ranked six hundred stones, is responsible for supervising all officials within the jurisdiction.If there is a problem with an official, the governor cannot directly remove him. Only with the permission of the imperial court can he remove the official in the territory.

Therefore, the governor is not the chief of the county guards, but the supervisor sent by the imperial court.

Strictly speaking, the governor has no right to interfere in local political affairs.It's just that the county officials are afraid of the governor's small report, so they dare not listen to it.

Of course, having said that, if Liu Yan wants to gain military and political power in Xiliang, Wei Zhongxian can only ask him to be the governor of Xiliang, and indirectly control Xiliang's political affairs.

Then, Liu Yan indirectly controlled Xiliang's military through the soldiers and horses in his hands.

This level of grasp of Xiliang's military and political affairs is very superficial, and can only be said to be barely grasped.

Or else?

Liu Yan asked directly to take full control of Xiliang's military affairs?

Wouldn't that be Liu Yan's request to crack the soil and seal the king?Not much different from rebellion! .

It turned out that in Wei Zhongxian's mind, it would be great if the emperor could agree to Liu Yan as the governor and let Liu Yan barely grasp the military and political power in Xiliang.

Unexpectedly, the emperor directly appointed Liu Yan as the state shepherd!

The state pastor, the pastor of a state, the superior of the officials of each county, and the government affairs of the whole state are in his hands.

In addition, the county and regiment training troops that were originally in the hands of the counties, and the state pastors can also be transferred.In addition, the State Shepherd has the right to recruit troops on his own!

The military and political power of a state is under control. Although there is no name of cracking the soil to seal the king, there is the reality of cracking the soil to seal the king!

Precisely because the power of the state pastor is too great, it only existed for a short time in the Western Han Dynasty.

Since Emperor Guangwu established the Eastern Han Dynasty, no one has been appointed as the state pastor.

Today, the first state shepherd of the Eastern Han Dynasty was born!

Xiliang State Shepherd, Liu Yan!

The emperor is too kind to the lord, right?

Wei Zhongxian knelt down on the ground and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty! The Marquis of Hanshouting appreciates His Majesty's kindness and vows to repay it with death!"

Liu Zhi waved his hand and said, "You can't represent Marquis Hanshouting, you just need to tell Marquis Hanshouting my arrangement."

"Yes."

"By the way, remember to tell Marquis Hanshouting again, don't be impatient. It will take some time for my reward to come down."

"After a while, why?"

"You don't understand Duan Jiong!" Liu Zhi said meaningfully: "I will reward you later. Duan Jiong will owe Han Shouting Hou a great favor!"

……

Half a month later, outside Jiuquan City, thirty miles away.

It was the same as when Duan Jiong greeted Liu Yan more than three months ago.It is still the flags and sails fluttering and the banners fluttering, and the people are still shouting and the horses are screaming and the helmets are shining.

But this time, it wasn't Duan Jiong as the landlord who greeted Liu Yan.Instead, Liu Yan, as the landlord, saw Duan Jiong off.

The soldiers of the Jingyang camp raised their heads high, looked angry, and dismissed the Qiang guards.

The Qiang Guards were just the opposite, lowering their brows and drooping their eyes, as if they had done something immoral.

Duan Jiong was even more ashamed, he didn't dare to look directly at Liu Yan.

Nonsense, can you not be ashamed?

The decree of the imperial court's reward has come down.

Due to his meritorious service, Duan Yu was granted the title of Marquis of Duxiang by the Marquis of Ting, and led the Qiang army to Dongliang to join Zhang Huan, the general of the Xiongnu Zhonglang, to counter the rebellion.

In a year or so, the Eastern Qiang will be pacified, and the entire Qiang chaos will be completely settled.

At that time, Duan Jiong and Zhang Huan, the two great heroes who quelled the Qiang chaos, will not only be famous in history, but also become extremely human ministers. They can be said to have both fame and fortune!

The exact opposite of Duan Jiong is Liu Yan.

He is still Marquis of Hanshouting, and his title has not changed at all.The only compensation is to get a state shepherd in Xiliang Prefecture.

The Xiliang State Shepherd controls the military and political power in Xiliang, it sounds like it is.But in fact, Xiliang is so desolate, the land is barren, the people are tough, and there are few Han and Qiang people.This broken state shepherd has a bright future!

Although Liu Yan's position is said to be the result of courtiers impeaching Liu Yan one after another, the emperor had to agree.

However, Duan Jiong and the soldiers of the Qiang Protecting Army still felt very embarrassed, as if they had robbed Liu Yan and the Jingyang Camp of their chance to become prosperous.

The reason is very simple, it turns out that they are all small partners fighting side by side.Now, they go to Dongliang to suppress the rebellion, eat delicious food and drink spicy food, and have the opportunity to gain both fame and fortune.However, Liu Yan's subordinates can only blow sand in Xiliang, which is completely unfair!

And the most important thing!
