Now that Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong agreed to Liu Yan's suggestion and changed the governor's position to that of Zhou Mu, a new issue was put on the table.

That is, who will serve as the state pastor in each state?

However, this problem is not difficult to solve in Liu Hong's opinion.

Since each state has a governor, it is enough to directly promote the governor of each state to a state pastor.

However, Qie Jian, the governor of Yizhou at that time, amassed money in Yizhou and became greedy. During his term of office, he committed corruption and violated the law, and was reported to the court by his officials.

Therefore, Qie Jian had been imprisoned by Liu Hong's order. Since Yizhou had no governor at this time, there was naturally no state pastor.

However, Yizhou is mountainous and difficult to defend. If a rebellion breaks out, it will be difficult to invade if other places send troops to suppress the rebellion. Only attacking from within can quell the rebellion.

Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that Yizhou Mu is absolutely loyal to the Han Dynasty.

And Liu Yan himself is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. After Liu Yu, King Lu Gong of the Western Han Dynasty, he will never rebel against the Han Dynasty.

So Liu Hong named Liu Yan the shepherd of Yizhou and went to Yizhou to guard it.

But as a result, Youzhou has no candidate for state pastor.

Liu Hong was hesitant about this.

After all, Liaodong County belongs to Youzhou, and he has just made Liu Feng a one-word king, with great authority. No matter who is the shepherd of Youzhou, he will face the problem of not having the right to transfer Liu Feng.

However, out of fear of Liu Feng, Liu Hong did not want to appoint Liu Feng as the state pastor.

Liu Hong's unwillingness to grant Liu Feng the title of Youzhou Mu also played into He Jin's plan.

He said to Liu Hong:"Your Majesty, Liu Yu and Liu Bo'an are the descendants of Donghai Gong Wang Liu Qiang, son of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.

He already has his own opinions on dealing with foreign races, and Youzhou is adjacent to many foreign races, so he sent Liu Yu is the right person to be the shepherd of Youzhou."

In fact, the main reason why He Jin recommended Liu Yu was that Liu Yu had always adopted a gentle policy towards foreigners, focusing on tolerance and opposing killing.

This policy conflicts with Liu Feng's thought of"Anyone who bullies the Han people will be repaid a hundredfold."

If Liu Yu is appointed as Youzhou Mu, he will inevitably have irreconcilable differences with Liu Feng, and he can just contain Liu Feng.

At this time, Liu Yu was impeaching Liu Feng for repeatedly massacring foreigners.

This is also what Liu Hong knows.

Therefore, when He Jin named Liu Yu, Liu Hong decided to appoint Liu Yu as the shepherd of Youzhou to contain Liu Feng.

As a result, all the edicts for the appointment of state pastors were issued at the same time, and Liu Yu became the state pastor of Youzhou.

After Liu Yu received the edict, he immediately took office.

He knew that the imperial court appointed him as Youzhou Mu just to let him compete with Liu Feng.

However, since Liu Yu dared to write a letter to impeach Liu Feng for killing foreigners, he would naturally not be afraid to negotiate with Liu Feng head-on.

Moreover, he believed that since Liu Feng had recognized his ancestor and became Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, he and he could be considered to be members of the same Han clan and had a deep connection with him.

And he is a direct descendant of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, and his age should be similar to Liu Feng's father, so he considers himself Liu Feng's elder.

He believed that Liu Feng would not go against him for the sake of the Han clan clan.

But obviously, Liu Feng was not prepared to give him face.

As a time traveler from later generations, Liu Feng naturally knew that he could not be the Queen of Zhongshan Prince Jing. The reason why he admitted it was just to have the status of a royal family member, which would help him develop his power.

But Liu Yu didn't know Liu Feng's attitude.

Therefore, as soon as he took office, he comprehensively implemented the policy of gentleness throughout Youzhou.

Not only did he treat the people with lenient policies and appease the people of Youzhou, he even treated foreigners with courtesy.

He firmly believed that the reason why foreigners repeatedly invaded the Han Dynasty was because the rulers of Youzhou did not help them when they could no longer survive.

Therefore, in order to survive, they had to enter the territory of the Han Dynasty and rob the Han people of their food and money. It was only because of the resistance of the Han people that they carried out the massacre.

The ruler's attitude towards foreign races is to directly send troops to conquer or even directly kill them.

After the aliens were killed, they would burn their anger on the people. After the officers and soldiers left, they would come out again to massacre the people.

This led to the escalation of conflicts between the Han people and the foreigners, and even formed a vicious cycle.

Therefore, Liu Yu adopted a gentle policy and the first rule for treating foreigners was to completely prohibit the inhumane massacre of foreigners throughout Youzhou.

And he sent envoys to tell the leaders of the major foreign tribes not to directly invade the people if the survival of the tribe was threatened.

The major foreign tribes can send people to Jixian County, the seat of Youzhou, to find the Prefecture Mufu to discuss with them.

I will definitely open the granary and help the people of the foreign race tide over the difficulties.

As soon as this policy came out, all the foreigners in the counties and counties of Youzhou naturally cheered.

Previously, because there were two great killers in Youzhou, the King of Liaodong Liu Feng and the White Horse General Gongsun Zan.

These two people are both people who treat foreigners without mercy.

Gongsun Zan's white horse Yi Cong beat the foreigners in and around Youbeiping County into obedience and did not dare to resist at all.

The king of Liaodong, Liu Feng, is even more terrifying. The several armies under him are extremely powerful in combat, and they are all one against a hundred.

All the foreigners in the entire Liaodong were massacred, and even in the neighboring Xuantu County in Liaodong, there was no sign of a foreigner in the county.

Therefore, the foreigners in other counties in Youzhou did not dare to be too active, and they did not even dare to go near Youbeiping, Liaodong and Xuantu.

They have been worried about what they would do if one day Liu Feng or Gongsun Zan, the two killing gods, disliked the foreign races in other counties and led troops to attack them.

But now they finally don't have to worry anymore.

The newly appointed Youzhou Mu Liu Yu has issued an order to ensure the survival rights of the foreign races, and the foreign races everywhere naturally cheered.

Finally, they no longer had to worry about being massacred by White Horse General Gongsun Zan and the King of Liaodong.

However, for some people with ulterior motives, Liu Yu's policy has become a talisman for them to commit evil everywhere.

And if you can't survive, you can find Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, and he will provide you with food.

In this way, I don't have to worry about survival at all, I just need to eat, drink and have fun.

But Liu Feng didn't take Liu Yu's policy seriously.

After all, although Liu Yu was known as a wise man, he had never seen the tragic situation of people being oppressed by foreign races.

Obviously, he was just an armchair scribe, and he oversimplified the conflict between Han people and foreigners on the border.

He dared to conclude that Liu Yu's policy would soon cause problems.
