Chapter 223: Proposal to move the capital (Month 50)
Fei Qian visited Cai Yong again and said with a heavy heart: "Master, does he know that Dong Zhuo defeated Yingchuan's troops in Yingshui? The prefect of Yingchuan cooked the food alive, and the Yingshui was filled with corpses and turned into a river of blood..."
"How did you know?" Cai Yong was also very shocked when he heard this.
"It has been spread throughout the city," Fei Qian said. The news could be transmitted so fast and spread throughout the city. It is probably Li Ru himself who sent someone to reveal it, and others are unlikely to do this.
"How is Yangdi now?" Cai Yong asked. The soldiers of Yingchuan were slaughtered, which means that the gate of Yangdi, which is the seat of Yingchuan, is wide open and undefended, and most of the famous families in Yingchuan are near Yangdi.
…
Fei Qian shook his head and said: "Yangzhai hasn't heard any news yet, so I guess it's fine."
Fei Qian looked at Cai Yong and said, "Tomorrow is the meeting of the great dynasty, and I'm afraid the matter of moving the capital will be discussed!"
"Move the capital? Why move the capital? Where do you want to move?"
Fei Qian told Cai Yong in detail the inferences he had made with Cao Cao before, and said: "... Now, taking advantage of the power of victory, persecution and relocation of the capital are a foregone conclusion... Tomorrow, the great dynasty will be in power.
You must not persuade, for those who persuade will die..."
Fei Qian's biggest worry is that Master Cai Yong rushes out to dissuade him at the court meeting tomorrow. Dong Zhuo will definitely capture him then, and he might even be killed on the spot, so he came here to remind him...
Cai Yong stood up with a shudder, frowned, walked around the hall twice with his hands behind his back, and said, "I shouldn't have come to this. If the three princes dissuade me, how dare I do it?"
Fei Qian said: "If the matter of moving the capital is discussed tomorrow, most of the three princes are serious people, how can they say it lightly? How can the power of the prime minister be wasted just by words? Therefore, there must be those who throw stones first..."
Those old foxes like San Gong will definitely not jump out to fight Dong Zhuo easily. They may refute it verbally, but that's it. They will definitely not attack him forcefully with open swords and guns. At most, they can send some subordinates first.
To explore the way, these younger brothers will definitely become cannon fodder. After Dong Zhuo kills these young minions who jumped out to scare the monkeys, these three princes will naturally know that Dong Zhuo is determined to move the capital. Whoever persuades anyone to die will never come out again.
Bad luck?
Of course, maybe the Hongnong Yang family will be a little tougher, but it may not be entirely from the standpoint of the country, and this toughness is estimated to be extremely limited...
Cai Yong thought about it again and again, but shook his head and said: "This is a major matter for the family and the country, how can we cherish our lives for the sake of life and death? If the three princes don't say anything, I will speak out!"
oops!
Master, didn’t I rush here just to prevent you from seeking death? Now that I have made it so clear, you still have to keep walking on the road to death...
Besides, you are just a lieutenant, and people with much higher official status than you will not say much. You said you...
But what Fei Qian wanted to say directly sounded a bit unpleasant, and Cai Yong might not be able to listen to it, so he racked his brains with a frown on his face, always trying to find a better way to start...

After the news of the defeat of Yingchuan Prefect Li Min spread, Luoyang, which was originally agitated, suddenly fell into a deathly silence...
Although some people did not believe it, the news that came later made many people suddenly become cautious.
That was a prefect worth two thousand dan, and he was cooked alive like this, tsk tsk...
The beautiful water was said to have been red for three days before gradually turning clear again. It was said that the whole river was filled with floating headless corpses...
Shhh…
Several low-level officials who were chattering together saw Li Ru approaching. They quickly signaled to each other, hurriedly hid aside, and respectfully made way for Li Ru.
Li Ru looked forward, not even interested in taking a look at these people, and walked by proudly.
What's the use of killing a small local tycoon? Even if you kill a hundred local small tycoons, you still haven't directly wiped out one of the Kwantung Allied Forces. It's scary!
It turns out that when the news about Dong Zhuo's army being defeated by Bai Bo's army spread, the officials in Luoyang were still a little impetuous, and many people even started to openly go to the Yuan family's house and queue up to ask for an audience...
But now the front door of Yuan's Mansion suddenly became deserted.
It turns out that Dong Zhuo is not a showman!
So what if we say that the Kwantung Allied Forces are powerful?
In this way, Dong Zhuo's army easily massacred all the soldiers and horses in Yingchuan under the eyes of the Suanzao Coalition. In this way, the strength of the Kwantung Coalition and Dong Zhuo's army will be re-evaluated...
What Li Ru needs is this kind of effect, and in this atmosphere, with the prestige of this victory, he can start a plan to move the capital...

The next day happened to be the Great Court Meeting of the Han Dynasty.
There were two types of court meetings in the Han Dynasty. One was a large-scale court meeting held at the beginning of the year. When the sky was dim, the ceremonial officers would introduce hundreds of civil and military officials into the palace gate according to their rank. The palace displayed chariots, cavalry, guards and
Flags of various colors, ceremonial objects, and ceremonial officials' rumors of "trending", civil and military officials marched forward neatly and orderly, arranged in east-west classes. The emperor, surrounded by servants, rode in the public amidst the sounds of bells and drums.
Coming to court.
This kind of New Year's Day gathering has the largest number of participants, and there are even people from foreign countries congratulating...
The other kind is the great court meeting held on the first day of each month. This kind of court meeting is "...the court meeting of the princes, ministers, generals, officials, and all the officials...", reporting on some matters of each department last month, and
Discussing some state affairs and making implementation arrangements, etc., it is basically a major political event in which all officials with more than 600 dan must attend the meeting.
This court meeting is a large-scale court meeting once a month, and all officials with more than 600 dan are present.
Dong Zhuo was the Prime Minister, so he could go to court with swords and shoes, and he did not need to pay homage to the emperor. When all the officials arrived, Dong Zhuofang came to the main hall with a sway, and sat down in the special prime minister's seat next to the emperor's seat.
, his mouth was pursed, his face was stern, and his blood-red eyes swept across the officials from left to right. Many officials who were seen by Dong Zhuo seemed to shrink subconsciously.
Dong Zhuo's eyes immediately stayed on Taifu Yuan Wei, but Yuan Wei kept his head down, his eyebrows lowered and his eyes were silent. From Dong Zhuo's point of view, Yuan Wei's face could not be seen, so he could not guess what happened at this time.
Yuan Wei has some thoughts.
But now it doesn’t matter if Yuan Wei has any ideas...
Amidst the sound of ritual music, Emperor Liu Xie came out and ascended the throne. After he sat down, all the officials paid homage to the emperor. However, because Dong Zhuo was also sitting next to the golden throne, and physically speaking, he was Liu Xie.
Liu Xie was several times that of Xie, so at a quick glance, Liu Xie was even ignored, as if officials were paying homage to Dong Zhuo.
Liu Xie glanced at Dong Zhuo secretly, and then waved his hand slightly. The eunuch standing next to Liu Xie shouted in a high voice that if something happened, he should report quickly, and if nothing happened, he would withdraw from the court...
Li Ru solemnly stepped out from the crowd and said: "Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Han Dynasty for two hundred years, has lost its vitality. Now Chang'an is full of auspiciousness. I wish your majesty the best wishes!"
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked!
The weather here in Chongzuo is weird...it rains in the morning, light rains in the morning, overcast at noon, and cloudy in the afternoon. It is like this every day...it was so hot two days ago that I had to wear short-sleeves, and these two days it was cold enough to wear a cotton-padded jacket...it's true
