Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, submitted a memorial to the court to impeach the current prefect of Xuantu County.

In the memorial, Liu Yu said:"Since I was appointed by Your Majesty as the Shepherd of Youzhou, I have been working hard every day and want to govern Youzhou well.

However, Youzhou is located in a remote area and is the border of the Han Dynasty. It has been invaded by foreign tribes all year round. Therefore, I think about it day and night, how to save the people of Youzhou from the suffering of foreign invasion.

In today's Youzhou, due to the strategy of King Bingjian and Youbeiping Governor Gongsun Zan, they would rather kill than let go of the aliens in Youzhou, so all the major foreign races are temporarily afraid to Invasion.

But this calm is only on the surface and temporary. Secretly, the major foreign races have long been dissatisfied with the two of them, but they dare not speak out because of the powerful combat power of their troops.

If the two of them leave in the future In Youzhou, the major foreign races that have been suppressed for a long time will inevitably unite to riot.

This will definitely become a disaster in Youzhou. According to legend, as early as the time of Emperors Yao and Shun, because the Yellow River was overflowing and causing disasters, Emperor Yao ordered Chong Bo Gun to control it. Yellow River.

At that time, Gun adopted the water barrier method of setting up river embankments on the bank, which temporarily alleviated the flooding in the Central Plains and saved the people from floods and fires. His hard work was highly rewarded.

However, because the water was cut off and blocked in the middle, the water level became higher and higher. In the end, the Yellow River burst its banks, causing more serious losses than previous floods.

Later, Emperor Shun ordered Gun's son Yu to control the flood. Yu learned from Gun's failure to control the flood, changed the method of"blocking", and channeled the flood.

After ten years It took three years to finally completely solve the problem of flooding in the Yellow River.

I was inspired by Dayu's flood control and believed that the methods used by King Liaodong and Gongsun Zan to treat foreigners were just like Gun's control of the Yellow River, which was a blockage.

Although this This method has been effective for the time being, but as time goes by, as the dissatisfaction of the aliens rises more and more like the water of the Yellow River, it will eventually break out. At that time, it will be a disaster for Youzhou and even the entire Han Dynasty.

Therefore, I adopted the big method Yu's method of diversion was to adopt a gentle policy toward the foreigners, try to meet their demands, and no longer massacre them. I believe that it won't be long before the foreigners will understand that we Han people have good intentions towards them, and they will no longer treat them from the bottom of their hearts. Want to invade the Han Dynasty.

This is the best way to fundamentally solve the problem of foreign invasion.

However, I continued to implement the policy of gentleness, but encountered silent resistance from the prefect of Xuantu County. I had ordered a ban on the massacre of foreign races, but the prefect Xuantu did not know Why did he anger the king of Fuyu, Weiqoutai, who led an army to attack Xuantu.

As a result, the prefect of Xuantu sent people to ambush Weiqoutai's army on the border outside Xuantu County, and actually massacred Fuyu's 100,000-strong army. Exactly.

What Grand Administrator Xuantu did was simply to ignore the minister’s orders.

I thought that I could tolerate it if he didn’t obey the minister’s orders, but as a Youzhou Mu who was personally conferred by your majesty, I represented your majesty’s decision.

Moreover, His Majesty had just ordered the restoration of the state pastoral system and ordered the state pastoral minister to take charge of all counties in the state. Less than a month later, Prefect Xuantu openly disobeyed his order. This was as if he was disobeying his majesty.

He obviously thought that your majesty would re-establish the state pastoral system and make himself The power of the prefect has been suppressed, so he is expressing his dissatisfaction.

I sincerely request your majesty to severely punish the prefect Xuantu in the name of upholding the prefectural pastoral authority of each state."

Liu Hong originally thought that re-establishing the prefectural pastoral system would reduce the threat of rebellion in various places. Unexpectedly, less than a month after the state pastoral system was restored, and it was unclear whether the rebellion had diminished, someone would blatantly disobey his orders.

This made Liu Hong very angry and immediately ordered the dismissal of the prefect Xuan Tu and the appointment of a new prefect to express his support for Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was naturally very excited when he saw that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty supported him so much. He had dismissed Grand Administrator Xuan Tu as soon as he impeached him.

With the precedent of the governor of Xuantu County, Gongsun Zan must have wanted to continue to be his governor of Youbeiping, so he would not dare to disobey his orders again.

However, what Liu Yu, Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong and others did not know was that the dismissed prefect of Xuantu County was really unjust.

Since Liu Feng had secretly sent people pretending to be foreigners to exterminate Gongsunyu, the former prefect of Xuantu County, he naturally had the intention to bring the entire Xuantu County under his control.

That's why he left Dian Wei in Xuantu County and handed over three thousand dragon warriors to Dian Wei to rule.

In fact, before the Xuantu governor took office, the entire Xuantu county soldiers and all other officials had secretly taken refuge with Liu Feng and obeyed Dian Wei.

Therefore, Governor Xuantu has been nothing more than Liu Feng's puppet since he took office.

But now that he has been dismissed, the position of Governor Xuantu is now vacant.

Dong Zhuo, who was still the governor of Hedong at the time, wanted to seize the opportunity and let his younger brother Dong Min become the governor of Xuantu.

So, as before, Dong Zhuo bribed Zhang Rang with a huge sum of money and bought the post of prefect of Xuantu County from Zhang Rang.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty knew and acquiesced that Zhang Rang was selling his official position for money.

So Zhang Rang accepted the money and recommended Dong Min to Liu Hong as the governor of Xuantu.

Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Li Ru was a wise man. Knowing Dong Zhuo's approach, he immediately suggested to Dong Zhuo:"Father-in-law, you and the King of Liaodong have long had a rift.

And Xuantu is too close to Liaodong. If the King of Liaodong knows about Dong Min, He is your brother. I am afraid that the King of Liaodong will frame him secretly.

So I ask my father-in-law to think twice."

However, Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's words, shook his head and said:"Wen You, it's not that our family doesn't know that Liu Feng is in Liaodong. , but now officials everywhere are overcrowded.

Now, with great difficulty, a prefect of Xuantu County offended Liu Yu, was impeached and removed from office, and the position of such a prefect was vacated. Of course, our family must seize it as soon as possible.

Otherwise, where else would Dong Min be bought by someone else in a few days?

Besides, although King Bingjian had many conflicts with our family, they were all out fighting at the time, and he had not seen Dong Min..

Moreover, Dong Min is quite different in age from our family, and he doesn’t look like our family. Almost no one in the world knows him. As long as our family doesn’t tell others, others can’t tell that he is our younger brother.

As for King Liu Feng, he I have never met Dong Min, and I don’t know that we have a younger brother, so I must not have thought of Dong Min’s origin." After listening to Dong Zhuo’s words, Li Ru thought for a long time, and really did not think of any other official positions suitable for Dong Min, so he had to Said:"Well, I hope the King of Liaodong can't see it."

However, what Dong Zhuo and Li Ru never dreamed of was that Liu Feng came from later generations and had long known that Dong Zhuo had a younger brother named Dong Min.
