Chengdu's wealth is the most enviable place among the princes besides Jingzhou. But now, both places have become Long Fei's territory. If you set foot in Yizhou and cross Jingzhou, looking at my general's iron horse, who dares to show off?
Ask, who is in charge of the ups and downs of the vast country, you should be the dominant one! Standing on the top of the highest government office in Chengdu, overlooking the entire Chengdu city, you will feel heroic.
Xu Shu proposed that Emperor Liu Xie be moved to Chengdu, which Long Fei strongly agreed with. Although it was good to be trapped, he was at the forefront, and even Cao Cao did not dare to do anything. If one day Cao Cao sent someone to sneak into Wancheng, not to mention kidnapping, if he would
The death of Liu Xie was also a huge loss for Long Fei. Furthermore, the emperor under his control was already an adult, and all kinds of thoughts began to burst out. If he was not completely trapped, it would be inappropriate to cause trouble one day.
Chengdu is located in the hinterland. As long as Hanzhong is captured, Liu Xie, no matter how powerful he is, will not be able to make any big waves. Long Fei is based in Xiangyang, and Yizhou is like his own backyard. Although Liu Xie is a naughty child, he has made up his mind.
Long Fei immediately sent someone to deliver a letter to Chen Qun, Xun You and others. These were all smart people, and they guessed the truth after seeing Long Fei's letter.
Although Liu Xie basically eats and sleeps all day long, he can't do anything else and doesn't dare to do it. But he still has to go to court in the morning. Early every morning, the chamberlain pulls Liu Xie out of bed and carries him with sleepy eyes.
Walking into the main hall, the scene was the same as in Luoyang and Chang'an. The only thing missing was the fat figure Dong Zhuo next to him.
The ministers shouted long live the mountain. Liu Xie leaned on the dragon chair and continued to sleep. The world is so big, all kinds of things are complicated, and all kinds of situations are also various. There are always topics when going to court every day. Wherever the people are not
Wherever there are cattle, the crops will be rich this year; where the rivers have been widened, and where the canals have been repaired. Everyone expresses his or her own opinions, and that’s it. It’s like a performance, everyone plays their role appropriately.
The role is just to make the emperor sitting on it feel that he is still an emperor.
The atmosphere of today's morning court was not good from the beginning. The sensible ministers kept silent. Only those who did not understand the situation were still talking about the fire in the woods outside the city. I don't know why, but in recent times,
, there are always strange things happening inside and outside the city, there are fires, water leaks, some people's cattle were pulled away by wild beasts on the mountains, and even the well in the palace was out of water a few days ago.
Everyone had an ominous premonition. Some people talked privately, thinking that Long Fei's annexation of Yizhou would greatly increase his strength and that he could leave the puppet emperor alone and go it alone. These things were warnings from God. Some people also said that instead of feeding the puppet emperor,
, it would be better to drive him out of office. There is nothing wrong with Long Fei's rule. Of course, there must be a minority who say this.
The chamberlain's voice: "If you have something to do, report it early, if nothing happens, leave the court!" The voice woke everyone up.
The great scholar Jushou stood up and said: "Your Majesty, all kinds of strange things happened one after another today. The wells in the palace dried up before, and now there are fires in the woods outside the city. All kinds of disasters have shown that the kingly spirit here is gradually disappearing. Your Majesty cannot do it.
Don’t live here anymore!”
Attendant Yang Fei is the grandson of former Taiwei Yang Biao. The young man is in his twenties. He has good features, a straight nose and a square mouth, and speaks in a loud voice. What he lacks is his grandfather's tact. He is a bit straightforward and reckless in doing things.
Just use the lives of hundreds of members of the Yang family as a bargaining chip to fight with others.
Yang Fei could tell that Ju Shou's words meant to move the capital. Just after Ju Shou finished speaking, Yang Fei stood up and said: "This is indeed not suitable for your Majesty to live. How can the emperor of Han Dynasty live in such a small county town?
Luoyang has been repaired by Duke Cao, and people from all over the world have returned home. The past style is still vivid in my mind, so I think returning the capital to Luoyang is the best choice."
As soon as this statement came out, those courtiers who had a good relationship with Yang Fei all sweated for him. The capital must be moved, and Long Fei had already decided where to move. It had been several months since Chengdu was captured, and Long Fei had already decided.
Didn't he just tell them that he was going to move his capital to Chengdu?
Huangfu Xiu, the imperial censor, hurriedly tugged at the corner of Yang Fei's clothes. Huangfu Xiu became a disciple of Huangfu Song's grandson. He should be the ancestor's remaining power and always followed the court. Hearing Yang Fei say such insignificant words, he was worried about Long Fei's revenge. Yang Fei didn't seem to be interested in it.
I ignored him and said what I wanted to say: "I still insist on moving the capital to Luoyang. Yizhou is a barren land and the people are vicious. Moving the capital here will only bring greater trouble."
Yang Fei's words have already stated his position. Of course, he is surrounded by these like-minded allies. Sikong Xunyou looked at Yang Fei: "Who knows that Luoyang is controlled by Cao thieves? If the capital is moved to Luoyang, wouldn't His Majesty fall into the trap?
In the hands of the traitor Cao? If your dream persuades the traitor Cao to give up Luoyang, I will persuade the general to move the capital to Luoyang!"
"The world belongs to the Han Dynasty, not to mention that the two imperial concubines are Cao Cao's daughters. It's not surprising that Cao Cao sent troops to protect Your Majesty when he returns to Luoyang!" Yang Fei looked at Xun Yu and continued: "On the contrary, the general moved Your Majesty to Chengdu to let you
People are suspicious, is the general really doing it for His Majesty's benefit, or does he have other motives?"
Situ Chen Qun glanced at everyone. Most of the courtiers hurriedly lowered their heads when he saw this. Only Yang Fei stood stiffly. Chen Qun smiled: "The general is born to be a great man and to serve your majesty. How dare you belittle yourselves? If
When the army comes back, they will definitely not spare you!"
Yang Fei chuckled: "Since the General claims to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, he has the unshirkable duty to protect His Majesty. Now that weird things are happening one after another under his command, how can the General just move the capital to end it? I think the General did this intentionally!"
Yang Fei is also a eloquent person. He analyzed the pros and cons of Luoyang and Chengdu very thoroughly. In one sentence, he could move the capital, but he must go to Luoyang.
Among the civil servants on the left, the last young man stood up in a loud voice. This young man was only fifteen or sixteen years old. He was wearing the clothes of a scholar, without an official hat or official uniform. He even had half a dagger stuck in his waist.
The young man glared at Yang Fei: "Even if it was intentional, what do you think? Now listen to me, those who agree to move the capital to Chengdu stand on the left, and those who disagree stand on the right!"
From Sangong to Jiuqing, everyone in the court was counted as one. After being yelled at by the young man, no one dared to talk nonsense. They stood up in a hurry, considered the left and right, and then stood on the side they felt was safe. Very quickly
The results were clear at a glance. There were obviously more courtiers on the left than on the right. And it was more than double. The only one on the right was Yang Fei. Even Huangfu Xiu, who had a close relationship with Yang Fei, stood on the left.
The young man glanced at Yang Fei: "Mr. Yang, why do you think you are suffering from such a situation? If your grandfather Yang Biao was here, he would definitely stand on the left. Do you believe it?"
Yang Fei looked at the group of courtiers on the left and suddenly thought of something: "We are courtiers. Since it is difficult to reach an agreement, please make your decision!"
"Okay!" The young man turned to look at the throne.
The chamberlain hurriedly pushed Liu Xie, who was sleeping like a dead pig, twice. Liu Xie got smart and hurriedly started to do something. He turned around and asked, "Is the court dismissed?"
The young man clasped his fist at Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, Grand Scholar Jushou suggested that strange things happen one after another. The king's spirit has declined, and it is no longer suitable for Your Majesty to live. He hopes to move the capital to Chengdu. However, Yang Fei, the servant, thinks that the capital should be moved to Luoyang, thinking that Luoyang is the capital. In the former capital, everyone has different opinions. I boldly asked the courtiers to make a choice. The courtiers on the left are in favor of moving the capital to Chengdu, and the courtiers on the right are in favor of moving the capital to Luoyang. I can't make a decision. Please make your decision!"
Liu Xie touched the saliva on his chin, yawned loudly, nodded repeatedly, glanced at the audience, and asked, "Where does Long Aiqing think we should move to?"
This young man was none other than Long Fei's eldest son Long Sheng. He had a grudge against Long Fei that year and wanted to establish his own child army. After being scolded by Long Fei, he completely broke up these "second generation officials" in Xiangyang City. Assigned to various places for training. Long Sheng, as the future successor of Long Fei, was sent to Jiaxiachaotang. He is currently serving as the Huangmen Minister. Although his official position is not high, his words are true to his words. Moreover, Long Sheng is quite like Long Fei in doing things. Demeanor, resolute and precise.
Long Sheng glanced at Yang Fei: "The courtiers can't decide, so I'll mediate between them. It's better to ask your majesty to make a decision!"
Liu Xie was a little confused. Since he came to Jiaxia, what matters have he really made the decision? Isn't it just to see if he is still obedient? If he chooses the wrong emperor, it will be a trivial matter in the end. The main thing is fate. Are you still there? Liu Xie looked at everyone in the hall, completely one-sided, and understood something in his heart. Although Yang Fei was loyal to him, what could he do?
Liu Xie hesitated for a long time and suddenly asked the chamberlain beside him: "Which one is better, Chengdu or Luoyang?"
The chamberlain was shocked and embarrassed. He looked at Long Sheng, then at Yang Fei, and gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty, I thought Chengdu was better! Luoyang has been abandoned for many years. Although Cao Cao also repaired it, it has completely lost its original appearance. Look, Chengdu is different. It has not experienced war, and the people of Yizhou are well known to the world. I heard that the Yizhou Prefectural Mufu is even worse than the original Luoyang Palace. I am disappointed that only Chengdu is the most suitable for Your Majesty!"
Liu Xie seemed to have received an amnesty. He nodded and pretended to be satisfied: "In that case, then..."
"Your Majesty!" Yang Fei knelt on the ground with a thud: "I have been thinking about you for four hundred years, and have been through dozens of Your Majesty's in two dynasties. Now that my ambition has become clear, your Majesty's visit to Chengdu will undoubtedly put you in the tiger's mouth. I beg your Majesty to think twice!" Well, if you hit your head on the ground, you will get a bloody head.
How could Liu Xie not know what Yang Fei said, but what could he do? He pretended not to see it and said: "Since all of you, my dear friends, think that Chengdu is suitable, we will prepare to move the capital from now on. We have specially appointed General Long Fei and Prime Minister to move the capital. , you all must work closely together to make sure there are no mistakes!”
"Promise!" Although there are those who are against their will among the ministers, what can they do at this time? Long Feiyuan can finalize the matter with a piece of paper in Chengdu, and no one dares to say a word "no". No one pays attention to Yang anymore. Fei, this day's court meeting is over.
