Chapter 248 Reflections of the various princes 3
Liu Biao was originally very disgusted with our Three Lights policy and the great integration of ethnic groups. He had no good feelings for Lu Ning instinct and always looked down on Lu Ning, who could not recognize any big words. Although he knew that destroying the Huns and Tartars was a heroic thing and a major event of the Han people, Liu Biao looked down on poor disciples from the bone marrow, let alone Lu Ning was an ignorant person, so he did not express his opinion from beginning to end.
Yizhou, Liu Yan's official residence, Zhang Song, Meng Da, Huang Quan, Wang Lei, Li Yan, Zhang Ren, Xu Jing, Pang Yi, Liu Zhang, Gao Xiang, Gao Ding, Fei Guan, Fei Shi, Fei Yi, Fa Zheng and others gathered to watch the northern news of the Lu Ning Army. After reading the news, Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, read the news, said: "Although Lu Ning, although he is unable to tell the truth, he randomly minted currency in his own jurisdiction, he has nothing to say about the elimination of the Huns and Tartars, and it has indeed solved the old problem of harassing the border for a long time for our Han Dynasty."
After hearing Liu Yan's words, Zhang Song read the Jie report: "Lord, Lu Ning's 150,000 cavalry of the Huns and Tartars this time was a contribution to the Spring and Autumn Period, which no one could erase. As for Lu Ning's implementation of new currency in his jurisdiction, it cannot be blamed on him. He was forced to do this because Dong Zhuo had no choice. Otherwise, wouldn't Lu Ning become a white-handed Dong Zhuo to do production? Dong Zhuo just tried his best to cast five fake currencies and could go anywhere to buy what he needed. This was unacceptable to Lu Ning. If that were the case, the loss would be too great."
Huang Quan thought, let alone Lu Ning used new currency in his jurisdiction, now our Yizhou has a lot of counterfeit coins circulating. Maybe it won’t be long before the prices in Yizhou will not be so stable, but it has not been affected yet. "Lord, Lu Ning’s destruction of the 150,000 cavalry of the Huns was a contribution to the country, and it has greatly increased the spirit of the Han nationality. It has been many years, and such a great victory has never been seen. Speaking of Lu Ning’s use of new currency, lord, you must also be mentally prepared, because Dong Zhuo minted a large number of fake five coins to invest
When the market is released, the entire Central Plains region has been affected. Our place is remote. Although it has not yet been affected, I guess it will be affected soon. Especially after Lu Ning protects himself, once the old Wuzhu coins in his hands are thrown into the market, no place will be harmed. At present, I just heard that the five Zhu coins that Lu Ning took back from the people have not been completely sold to the market. He just sold some of them around it a little before the New Year, but now the prices in the Central Plains are soaring and materials are in short supply." Huang Quan said seriously.
Liu Yan thought to himself, Lu Ning, a reckless man, did not do much bad things? Why did you see him destroying the Huns coalition? I don’t know how many bad things he did? Liu Yan snorted with his nose: "Lu Ning’s destruction of the Huns coalition was of course a meritorious in the court, but why don’t you tell me about the three-light policy, ethnic integration, kidnapping of famous people, massacre of cities and salt and other bad things? Lu Ning has been killing on the grassland for so many years, burning, killing, robbing, and robbing, and never doing anything bad. He openly let soldiers gang rape captured Xianbei women, and what is it that it is a great fusion? What is this not a promiscuity? The things he did are serious sins, and there is a little bit of benevolence, righteousness and morality. His name as a big bear was also killed by the extremely vicious killing."
Fa Zheng was stunned after hearing this. What was wrong with Lu Ning's Tartars? If he didn't kill, would the Xianbei Tartars and the Xiongnu Tartars be afraid? "Lord, although Lu Ning did a bit too much, it is better than before when we treated the Xiongnu and Xianbei Tartars. In the past, we talked about benevolence, righteousness and morality with the Tartars every day, but the result was that my Han border was never peaceful. I was harassed by the Tatars cavalry and burned, killed and robbed the people on my border every year. The Huns Tartars always robbed the Han border. When they met our Han army, they would run away if they couldn't fight, and surrender if they couldn't escape. A few years later, they came to endanger the people on my border. Now Lu Ning exterminated the Huns and Tartars at one time. What's wrong with this?" Fa Zheng said.
Li Yan continued Fazheng's words and said, "Lord, I think Lu Ning's approach to the Huns and Xianbei Tartars is not wrong. These foreign barbarians should use swords and swords to say that they are benevolence, righteousness and morality, which is to play the piano against cows."
Liu Yan's favorite general Zhang Ren said: "Lord, I also think Lu Ning did a good job. Our Han Dynasty should have treated the Huns and Xianbei Tartars like this. This is the fundamental solution to the border problem of our Han Dynasty. In the past, our court was too weak, which made the Tartars think that our Han nationality could be bullied. Now they also know that they are afraid. How great is this."
Liu Yan glared at everyone under his command and said angrily: "I'll end with the discussion today." After that, he got up and went into the house.
In Chang'an, in the court, the civil and military ministers saw the good news sent by Lu Ning and made a fuss. The ministers led by Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song asked for promotion to Lu Ning, but Dong Zhuo said that Lu Ning's private use of new currency was an act of rebellion. It would be better if he didn't hold him accountable. Why would he be promoted to an official position?
Huangfu Song shouted: "Lu Ning's army eliminated the 150,000 cavalry of the Huns Allied Forces. How could such great achievements not be rewarded? Haven't the northern land been under our jurisdiction in the past few years? Why didn't he dare to fight the Huns? Now Lu Ning took the initiative to eliminate the Huns, you are talking about it. Besides, the previous emperor gave Lu Ning an imperial edict to control the north and be responsible for destroying the Huns and Xianbei Tartars. This is also a dispatch of troops according to the order. Speaking of currency, if the prime minister did not mint five coins indiscriminately, would Lu Ning use the new currency? This cannot be blamed entirely on Lu Ning."
When Lu Bu heard that he was going to promote Lu Ning on the 25th day, he immediately said, "That boy Lu Ning just killed a few Huns. Is it worthy of everyone's quarrel over him in the court? He now privately occupied the north of the territory and asked him to let the north out."
Zhu Jun said angrily: "Lu Ning regained the northern land, not privately occupying the northern land. These are two concepts. Although the northern land is under the jurisdiction of the prime minister, when it has been occupied by the Qiang and Hu for many years, why don't you recover it yourself?"
When Li Ru, the great counselor of Dong Zhuo, heard everyone quarrel, he said, "It's good to let Lu Ning give up the northern land first, and then promote him to the general of the conquering army. Everyone should be satisfied."
Seeing that the ministers were still trying to argue, Dong Zhuo immediately said, "Just do what Li Ru said. If anyone is not convinced, let him go home."
When the ministers heard that Dong Zhuo was so tough, who would dare to speak out again, the matter would be left to nothing.
