The change of hands in Chengdu, Liu Xuan, Zhang Song and others were beheaded and captured, and the submission of Wu Yi, Meng Da and Yang Huai... This series of amazing changes completely made the officials in Sichuan who were originally subordinate to Liu Xuan completely lose hope.

Fortunately, at the beginning of the war, the emperor's edict to rebel stated that except for more than ten evil people including Liu Xi and Zhang Song, the other people who were accused of rebellion would not be punished if they repent in time.

Moreover, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan also jointly wrote a letter to hundreds of thousands of people in Sichuan, expressing the same meaning as the emperor's imperial edict.

With this double guarantee, these officials had hope. Although they were still nervous, they finally chose to apologize for guilt and surrender. Ten days after I arrived in Chengdu, most of the county officials had written a letter to express their intention of abandoning the rebellion and surrendering.

.

After the overall situation of the war has been basically decided, who will be the lord of Xichuan? How to deal with the relationship between Xichuan and the Lujiang court, and the most practical issues - how to distribute the military power that was originally controlled by Liu Xuan and Zhang Song?

This series of questions was placed in front of everyone one after another. Around these questions, undercurrents surged in Chengdu...

During these ten days, Sichuan Chinese civil and military officials had conducted three large-scale discussions to discuss the future of Xichuan.

From the first meeting, a group of Sichuan officials showed a clear tendency to oppose.

As expected, Peng Yang tried his best to oppose his elder brother's entry into Xichuan. He insisted that Liu Zhang's youngest son Liu Chan inherited his father's ambition and became the governor of Yizhou, and was in charge of the military and political power in Sichuan.

It has to be admitted that the reasons Peng Yang found were very skillful————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

But if you think about it carefully, Liu Chan, who was only ten years old, would have to be at least six years old. He is currently unable to fulfill his duties as a governor of a state.

Moreover, from my observations over the past few days, Liu Chan's qualifications are quite mediocre. The series of drastic changes encountered at home since last year have caused a great shadow on the boy's psychology, and he looks very timid and fearful.

In this way, if Liu Chan succeeded to the position of governor, the actual power in Sichuan would inevitably fall into the hands of those auxiliary officials. Peng Yang's move.

He can not only exclude his elder brother from Xichuan with a high sound, but also create opportunities for himself to seize power.

He even intentionally or unintentionally used the conservative and xenophobic mentality of Sichuan people to try to provoke the rejection of Sichuan Chinese civil and military officials towards their elder brother.

However, he obviously forgot a well-known truth - good birds choose trees to live in, good ministers choose masters to serve. More simple, that is, "It is easy to enjoy the cool under the big tree"!

Not to mention the military generals who already have good relations with our army, as far as the scholars in Xichuan are concerned, they may be conservative and exclusive.

But it does not lack the vision and mind to save time and measure the situation——Relying on Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Liangzhou and Hanzhong, to a certain extent, our army has actually completed the siege of Cao Fang.

Both in terms of land and population, the eldest brother has steadily suppressed Cao Cao. The Han Dynasty, which had been in the midst of more than 20 years of separatist war, has reached a critical moment from division to unification. Once the eldest brother defeated Cao Cao.

In order to achieve the unification of the country, there will be no way for a "independent kingdom" to exist in Xichuan. With the manpower and material resources of one of the twelve states, it can be said that it is extremely easy to pacify a mere Xichuan.

There are many scholars from Chuan Zhong who can see this. After weighing the pros and cons, they will naturally have a more rational choice.

This can be seen from Huang Quan, the leader of the Sichuan Sect, Wang's ambiguous attitude.

Although I was invited to participate in the discussion, I just sat quietly and acted as a bystander.

It's not time for me to intervene directly.

.

On this tenth day, Zhang Ren returned to Chengdu and brought Meng Da's head back.

Cunning as a fox and wolf land Meng Da, although he had tried his best, he still failed to escape the hand of Zhang Ren, an experienced hunter.

When Zhang Renyi returned to Chengdu, he immediately denounced the scholars' only knowledge of fighting for power and profit, but he completely forgot about Liu Zhang's great sacrifice.

It has been more than a year since Liu Zhang was killed and died. Because he was in the midst of war, Zhang Ren and others were incapable of their ability, Liu Xuan's party did not take it seriously. The anniversary festival of Liu Zhang, which should have been grandly held, was delayed.

The situation is now stable and should be reissued as soon as possible. Liu Zhang's bones were moved from Jiangzhou to Chengdu, and buried with his father and brother Liu Yan and Liu Mao.

Perhaps it was unexpected. Perhaps it was deliberately ignored. A group of Sichuan officials did put such an important matter out of mind. It was not until Zhang Ren got angry that he really attracted everyone's attention.

.

Three days after emergency preparation, Sichuan Chinese civil and military officials led by Zhang Ren, Yan Yan and Huang Quan held a grand ceremony in front of Liu Zhang's lichen tomb.

In addition to the three necessary animals in the sacrifice, the more interesting ones are the twelve heads of the brothers Zhang Su and Zhang Song, Liu Xun and Meng Da.

After returning to Chengdu, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people in Sichuan as soon as possible, Zhang Ren once again swears in front of the ministers in Sichuan—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

However, there are no twelve evil people including Zhang Song.

I learned early that Zhang Renhui sacrificed the soul of Liu Zhang in the sky with the lives of Zhang Song and others during the high ceremony. Although the officials in Sichuan were worried and sighed secretly, there was no panic.

The candidate for the high sacrifice for the land should be the more noble the identity. According to the theory of position and title, there are no civil servants and generals in Xichuan now, and I have the same identity as the emperor and my elder brother.

When Yan Yan asked me to preside over the high ceremony on behalf of Zhang Ren, I agreed without thinking—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

However, there were not many things I actually had to do in the high ceremony, and the most important one was to recite the sacrificial text.

After I finished reciting the sacrificial text with an extremely loud voice, the biggest highlight of the sacrificial ceremony finally came - a living sacrifice!

When Zhang Song, Zhang Su and his twelve were escorted to Liu Zhang's tomb by soldiers, they realized their fate.

Two people fainted from fear on the spot, and three of them were incontinent in their lower bodies and their urine dripped down their robes. A small puddle was soon formed on the ground. The other people were all pale, trembling all over, and their eyes were dull.

The only person who seemed a little normal was Zhang Song. He had originally wanted to offer advice and expressed this wish to Lu Meng. Although Lu Meng made a false promise at that time, he did not give him this opportunity later.

After a little time, Zhang Song's wisdom naturally knows what this means.

Judging from his current performance, he had accepted his fate. He even seemed a little scruple.

"Zhang Ren, you think you are the number one minister under Liu Zhang, but if you hadn't acted recklessly, why would Liu Zhang suffer such a disaster?

Huang Quan, Wang Lei, if you take it as loyal as you claim to be, why don’t you be generous and be willing to join Liu Zhennan (Liu Xi)? In the end, you turned against each other again, which was obviously a matter of two sides!

Peng Yang. You are a peerless slander. On that day, Liu Zhang abandoned you because you were arrogant and unvirtuous, and you often scolded Liu Zhang. Liu Zhennan was generous and took you with you, but you did not know the kindness of your understanding. With your virtue, you will die within three years!

…” Zhang Song unscrupulously criticized the important officials in Sichuan.

Zhang Ren, Yan Yan's face was cold and completely considered Zhang Song to be a dead person; Huang Quan's face was also plain, and he was not indifferent to his emotions. In contrast.

Peng Yang's face was ashen. Although he restrained his actions, the pair of fire-breathing eyes seemed to swallow Zhang Song.

When the butcher's knife was approaching, Zhang Song sighed to the sky: "I have the talent of martial arts and regret that I have no day to dominate the world. How regretful it is, how regretful..."

The blade was waving, and his blood was full of passion and gushing out from his neck like a spring. Twelve human heads fell into the dust like rolling gourds.

.

After the high ceremony, I found an opportunity. I invited Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, Huang Quan and Wang Lei to have an open and honest discussion on the future of Xichuan.

From the date of arriving in Chengdu, I made a statement to Huang Quan, Wang Lei and others with my own practical actions. In the past half month, they should have made a mature decision.

Facing these four people, the leader of the Chinese civil and military officials in Sichuan, I did not hide anything anymore and made a frank statement of the intention of bringing Xichuan into the boss's command.

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan were silent and did not say anything. However, with Zhang Ren's upright temperament, he did not immediately turn anger, but actually showed some of his attitude.

Later, Huang Quan spoke first. He first asked whether Liu Chan could be allowed to succeed to the governor of Yizhou.

I didn't answer him directly, but just asked back what Nishikawa needed most after more than a year of war?

The answer is actually very simple—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

After pondering for a while, Huang Quan asked me again what I had plans for Xichuan.

After thinking about it, I told Huang Quan very calmly that he would be appointed as the governor of Yizhou in recent years. After a little longer, he might be replaced by officials from other places, but the rights and interests of the Sichuan Sect will definitely not be damaged.

Officials from other places can be officials in Sichuan, and officials in Sichuan can also be appointed as governors and county magistrates in other prefectures and counties. There will definitely be talented people in Sichuan in the court to take important positions.

In order to dispel the concerns of Huang Quan and others, I simply listed a ready-made example.

In recent years, the phenomenon of officials from Jing and Yang states crossing to officials has become quite common, which not only promotes integrity in governance, but also does not harm the interests of scholars in the two states.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Ren, Huang Quan and other four finally accepted my claim and agreed to submit.

Two days later, more than 50 Sichuan-Chinese civil and military officials, including Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, Huang Quan, and Wang Lei, jointly submitted a letter and requested the elder brother to govern the eight counties of Xichuan to give the hearts of the people in Yaskawa.

.

Ten days later, Feige of Xiangyang sent a letter to Chengdu. The emperor posthumously named the former Zong Zhengqing, the governor of Yizhou, and Liu Zhang, Duke of Shu, was appointed King Fengmin, and was later promoted to the title of Sikong. Liu Zhang was the youngest son of Liu Zhang, inherited the Duke of Shu.
