Chapter 26: If the sky is in love, the sky is also old
In mid-May, when Sun Quan and his family rushed to Yingchuan with a relieved attitude, the emperor's "family" who had been a step earlier had already arrived in the old capital of Luoyang. At the same time, Jiaozhou Shepherd Xie and the returning Da Sima, Da Sima,
Governor Lu Fanze has just arrived in Nanyang.
Fifteen years have been filled with dust, and the dust is about to settle before our eyes.
However, Luoyang did not have such high expectations. On the contrary, the ministers in Ye showed great resistance to the sudden migration, so much so that they hesitated, procrastinated, and many even wrote directly.
Duke Yan, there was quite a bit of noise about what he said about his subordinates... Regarding this, Duke Yan and Sun Xun showed great tolerance and indifference. He neither refuted nor dealt with it, nor did he have any intention of changing his ways.
In fact, the officials in Yexia who had no room for resistance also understood that Yexia was located in Hebei, which was a bit biased for the whole world. If it were to be the capital, they themselves would also talk about Chang'an and Luoyang, let alone return it.
There are officials from Bingzhou, Shaanzhou, and Sanfu who are vaguely beating the drum.
However, among the high-level ministers in Yexia, and even the core middle-level officials, people from Hebei still have an absolute advantage. In addition, after Yexia has undergone orderly construction in recent years, the economy has developed, the market has prospered, and everyone there has
We all have assets, so we can’t help but feel a little unhappy.
As for the real meaning of this move, it was just to remind Gongsun Xun not to forget their "sacrifice" for the Yan Kingdom. When Yan Zhengzheng was destined to be promoted together, he needed to take care of the people who were originally from Hebei.
It's no wonder that Gongsun Xun didn't bother to pay attention to such an unprovoked matter.
However, a practical problem is that half of the farmers in Luoyang and the original Henan area were relocated by Dong Zhuo, and the farming and equalization system inevitably restricted the return of the people from the side. The former capital of the Han Dynasty was now completely empty.
People's hearts are filled with sorrow.
In fact, on this afternoon, Liu Xie, who finally returned to Luoyang and looked down at the outline of the old capital from the three-story attic of the capital pavilion in the east of the city, couldn't help but feel sad at this time... They say that things are people.
No, but for this person, not only are people different now, but even things are no longer what they used to be. Even the whole city and the whole world are about to change their owners. Can you not be hurt?
"Your Majesty, is this Luoyang?" Dong Guiren carefully passed by the two soldiers and stepped forward to hold his husband's arm. "The city is huge and well-maintained, but why is it so deserted?
Isn’t it as good as Chang’an’s fireworks?”
"Because there is no one..." The little emperor became more and more sad. "I still remember that when I was six or seven years old, my brother secretly came to see me. We climbed up to the corner tower of the North Palace together, although we could only see the two sides of the North Palace.
corner, but at that time it was full of hustle and bustle, with people coming and going everywhere... But today, the outline of the city wall is still the same, the divisions are still so neat, there are even new buildings, and the mansions are taller and neater than before, but how can there be a capital without people?
Where’s the weather?”
Dong Guiren was walking along the way, and he was polite when he saw the soldiers escorting him along the way. In addition, he was young, so he became a lot bolder. He glanced at the soldiers behind him, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I heard that Yan...
Then Duke Yan is just waiting for his chief commander to come back, and then he will force His Majesty to abdicate in Luozhong, where there is no one at all. If he is so impatient, won't he be laughed at in the future?"
Liu Xie sighed and was about to speak, but he felt cold all over, and sweat immediately flowed down his back, because at this moment, a voice he had heard several times before suddenly sounded from behind him:
"I don't know whether it's Dong Guiren or Fu Guiren, so I don't understand. When Gu became emperor, it has nothing to do with whether the capital is prosperous or not... From Yigu's point of view, it's just a blank piece of paper, so I can draw calmly! What do you think, Your Majesty?
ah?"
Liu Xieqing knew who had arrived, but he suppressed the panic and turned around. Sure enough, he saw that it was Duke Yan, Sun Xun, dressed in brocade clothes. He climbed up the stairs in person with his hands behind his back. In addition, there was another person who looked like him behind him.
A young man with a yellow mouth of about the same age, and two tall young men in brocade clothes and holding knives.
Seeing this situation, Liu Xie probably knew that the other party had no ill intentions, so he mustered up the courage to confront him: "Yan Gong is joking. Dong Gui is just a woman with no family education. How can he understand these general principles?"
This was a mockery of Gongsun Xun's murder of Dong Cheng's entire family that day. Upon hearing this title, Dong Guiren was frightened and hid behind the emperor, only slightly raising his head to look at his father-killing enemy.
"What about women?" Gongsun Xun shook his head repeatedly, but he was not angry at all. Instead, he took time to take care of himself. "I came to see Your Majesty in casual clothes, so I won't be polite."
"Even now, I don't dare to accept it..."
"How is your stay in the pavilion, Your Majesty?" Gongsun Xun smiled again, still not angry.
Now that things have happened, he really doesn't need to vent his anger on a child, even if the other person is still an emperor at this time.
"Is there any majesty in the world who has returned to the old capital but lives in the capital pavilion?" Liu Xie, who was already depressed, couldn't help but feel a little depressed after hearing this. "Even if Duke Yan wants to humiliate me, there is no need to do this."
?Beigong is my free residence after all...ordinary people return home every ten years, maybe go and take a look?"
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood." Gongsun Xun still put his hands behind his back, as if he didn't care. "I'm not stingy enough to do this. In fact, neither the North Palace nor the South Palace have been repaired. Even Gu, I only live in Xin Gong.
Among the private houses built...it is estimated that only people can barely live in them after the autumn harvest."
The emperor was puzzled for a moment: "Didn't Duke Yan call me to meditate and give way? How come the palace has never been repaired?"
"Because I didn't expect that the world would be unified so quickly." Gongsun Xun responded calmly. "This brings me back again. When I will wait for the throne, it has nothing to do with this city... What is important is the unification of the whole world.
! When the four seas are unified, Gu Zizi is the master of the world, what about others?!"
"So, Duke Yan doesn't need me to abdicate?" The emperor was furious for a moment.
"Not to mention, His Majesty's words do have some truth to them. I am really moved." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but laugh.
The emperor suddenly changed his color: "I was just joking... Since Mr. Yan is here in person, I naturally have nothing to say. Whenever I perform a grand ceremony, I will never refuse. I only hope that Mr. Yan can keep his promise and the bloodline of the Han Dynasty will naturally continue."
.”
"That's not why I came here today!" Gongsun Xun suddenly looked solemn. "I don't want to go there personally for this matter... Your Majesty, I have something to tell you. After you leave, Jing Youxi will surrender.
Jiang committed suicide."
When the emperor heard this, he instinctively wanted to refute it, but just as he was about to speak, he had already realized it in his heart - obviously, Jingze was afraid that he was really dead, and that he really committed suicide, because the last farewell in the palace that day had already happened
The omen was just that I was focused on survival and didn't pay much attention to it.
Besides, given his identity and deeds, there are countless reasons to seek death, and considering the emperor's eldest son's strategy of switching contracts, this person probably sought death just to reassure Liu Xie.
Thinking of this, the emperor felt all kinds of grievances in his heart, his anger and forbearance disappeared, and his mind went blank, and he didn't know what to do... The Han Dynasty withered to this point, and in the end, he considered everything for the Han Dynasty and himself, and then chose to be loyal.
Man, turned out to be a spy!
But what about a spy? Isn’t it far better than those people of four generations and three princes and two thousand stone officials?
But before he had time to think about it, the emperor woke up almost instantly when he thought of the word 'spy', but he couldn't help but burst into tears. He faced the expressionless Gongsun Xun in the attic and cried out: "Mr. Yan, Jing."
The charioteer is originally a Hanchen..."
I don't know why, but there was almost a hint of pleading in the emperor's tone.
When Gongsun Xun saw the other party's attitude, he raised his head and sighed: "Yes, Jingze is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty! He is no different from Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande!"
For a moment, Liu Xie almost burst into tears with gratitude to the other party.
When Gongsun Xun saw this, he didn't say anything more, just turned around and went downstairs with his hands behind his back.
The emperor upstairs is in indescribable mourning... He has been used to seeing loved ones die violently in his life, but he was too young at that time and was more afraid than sad. Today's situation has no way out, or it can be said that it is in a different kind of hopelessness.
But in the place of fear, when he suddenly heard the news, he completely understood what it means to be heartbroken, like losing your liver and gallbladder.
Gongsun Xun heard the crying upstairs and felt sad for a moment.
After all, he felt guilty towards Jing Youxi... and when he came here today, he naturally wanted to answer his questions in anger; secondly, he had a vague attitude of testing the little emperor!
After all, as one of the few people who knew that Empress Yuan was pregnant before Lu Bu's death, Gongsun Xun knew about the so-called emperor's eldest son from the beginning, but he never took it to heart. It was not until Jingze died that he discovered that someone
He actually risked his life for this matter, and while feeling sad and ashamed in his heart, he also naturally understood that Jingze's death was partly because of the troubles surrounding the emperor.
Therefore, Gongsun Xun was relieved for a while when the little emperor finally put aside his outer shell of an emperor and begged for help. In any case, the little emperor still had some human conscience after all.
In this way, the emperor naturally went to cry, and Gongsun Xun naturally returned to his "private residence" in Luoyang - he had not deceived the other party before. The North and South Palaces were still under repair, and he could only live in the newly built city, and then strictly enforced
Just defense.
However, as the little emperor lamented upstairs before, there are very few residents in Luoyang City now. The people in the city are just the officials from Yexia who have gradually moved here, the Yexia Forbidden Army who were stationed here before, and those who participated in the restoration of the city before.
It was just built by civilians, so it is considered extremely safe.
But along the way, because there was someone accompanying him all the time, he was inevitably delayed a little longer.
"If you want to ask, just ask, I have been in Tazhong for more than a year, how come I have become so much more honest?" Gongsun Xun was riding in front of him, surrounded by horses, and there was a leader in front, and behind him was his eldest son, who hurriedly followed Gongsun.
Yue and Gongsun Ding rushed to this place together.
"My lord..." Gongsun Ding, who was riding a big horse, responded immediately, but seemed a little hesitant. "My lord, I don't know where to start."
"You can ask anywhere, just come one by one."
"No!" Gongsun Ding hurriedly followed. "Sir, why is the emperor of the Han family so rude? Is there a reason?"
"Yes! But my father doesn't want to say... the next one."
"Then Sir, why do you have to ascend the throne in such a hurry? Although the world is unified, you can still wait..."
"What's there to say? I just can't wait to be a father! And being a father never cares about face and reputation!"
"But my father doesn't care about a mere famous person, right? Why don't we wait until the Luoyang palace is repaired, the prefectures and counties are divided, and the people of the world are prepared before doing this?" Gongsun Ding was still puzzled. "What's the matter?
The inside story?"
"Yes...but as a father, I still don't want to say it." Gongsun Xun still reined in his horse and responded calmly.
"Then I have only one question." Gongsun Ding was helpless.
"Tell me."
"May I ask your lord, why is Luoyang the capital?" Gongsun Ding cheered up and continued to inquire seriously.
"That's a good question." Gongsun Xun finally looked back at his son on the horse. "The matter of establishing a capital is not only about a beautiful place, but also about national affairs... And Luoyang is what I and your grandmother have been discussing for a long time.
The location was decided later. You must know that we discussed no less than five cities at that time!"
"My son is willing to hear the details." Gongsun Ding was naturally excited. Even Sima Yi and Ma Dai, who had been reinstated after their death, also pricked up their ears.
"The five cities are Luoyang, Chang'an, Yecheng, Xuchang, and Jixian." Gongsun Xun spoke slowly and eloquently. "And the five cities are all biased... For example, Jixian was included in the reference, not because of this
It is the capital of my father's fiefdom, but if this is the capital, the country will have to rely on Hebei in the future to manage Liaodong, develop Sanhan and the newly discovered Japanese island, and suppress the grasslands beyond the Great Wall! Another example is Xuchang,
It has the intention of using the Central Plains as the basis to open up the south of the Yangtze River! However, these two places are too narrow. Geographically speaking, under the same strategy, Jixian is slightly inferior to Yecheng, and Xuchang is slightly inferior to Luoyang! Because Yecheng can take into account the Central Plains.
, and Luoyang can in turn connect Hebei and Sanfu."
After Gongsun Ding, everyone's hearts moved slightly.
"As for Chang'an, it is naturally the old road of the Han Dynasty. It is to open up the Western Regions, unblock the ancient Silk Road, use the Western Regions to squeeze the grasslands, and use Guanzhong to control the Central Plains..." Gongsun Xun continued. "If you have read a little bit, you can understand it.
I mean, this is also an excellent choice.”
Gongsun Ding immediately nodded: "I know your Majesty's intention, but I still have doubts."
"explain!"
"Since your Excellency has decided on Luoyang, it certainly makes sense, but as your Excellency said, this move is to direct the national policy to develop the south of the Yangtze River... But if this is the case, will the Western Regions ignore it? Liaodong will ignore it.
Isn’t it? Will the grassland not suppress it?” Gongsun Ding asked seriously.
"That's a good question. I've been out for a year and I've made progress after all." Gongsun Xun finally smiled and turned around. "But who said I don't care anymore?"
Gongsun Ding was speechless for a moment: "..."
"Ading!" Gongsun Xun became more and more amused. "Each generation has its own strategy, and each generation has its own responsibilities... Your father and I finally decided on Luoyang, not to abandon the Western Regions, grasslands, and Liaodong, but to leave Liaodong alone.
I am prepared to try my best to settle things for you in my lifetime! I dare not say that there will be peace for all eternity, but at least it will allow you not to worry about the affairs of the three places while you are in power!"
Gongsun suddenly realized that the national policy of developing Jiangnan, love, was for him to do. No wonder he was asked to farm.
Moreover, Gongsun Ding has no doubt that his father's level and prestige will not be enough to overwhelm the grassland and control the Western Region! As for the grassland, the worst is to fight a war. Does Kebi Neng really have the courage now? And the Western Region has already
Han Sui went to run it, and it will continue in the future.
Only in Liaodong, how to develop Liaodong will not happen overnight. Gongsun Ding could not think of any immediate solution.
But thinking about it on the other hand, if my father ascends the throne this month, he will have at least twenty or thirty years to be emperor, which should be enough, right?
"Have you finished asking?" At this moment, Gongsun Xun suddenly turned around and interrupted his son's thoughts.
"Yes!" Gongsun Ding responded quickly.
"You've finished asking, but I still have something to tell you!"
"Please give me your order!" Gongsun Ding did not rein in his horse because he knew his father did not like that.
"When Jiaozhou Mu and Da Sima arrive at the end of the month, I will ascend the throne as the emperor." Gongsun Xun said casually, as if talking about trivial family matters. "You will be the prince then... This is why I specially called you here... But
After you are appointed as the crown prince, don’t ask me to urge you and go back to Tazhong! No matter whether Xie Yu dies or you are appointed as the crown prince, you have to work hard with me to achieve great results! After you are crowned, go back to Luoyang!"
"No!" Gongsun Ding did not dare to hesitate.
After the father and son said this, they were not speechless. Instead, they pointed out the newly built Luoyang City along the way and talked about nothing more than trivial matters in the past.
For example, here someone had a sword fight with Duan Jiong; there someone had fed chickens; there was someone who first met his wife; here someone had dragged the body of a certain castrated
Swim across the street.
After all these things, it took him an entire afternoon to return to the private house where he was temporarily staying. The whole family rarely had dinner together, which could be regarded as a welcome break for the eldest son who had not returned home for a long time.
After dinner, when the lanterns were lit, Gongsun Xun and his little daughter, who was gradually speaking more eloquently, chatted with each other for a while, but suddenly abandoned everyone and came to the back hall to stand in silence and ask to see his biological mother, Gongsun's aunt, who was about to be promoted to the empress dowager.
By the way, mother and son have been in Luoyang these days, and Aunt Gongsun has been arranging planning matters inside and outside Luoyang City. Although they are very busy, they can see each other every day, and there is no shortage of time to talk... So here
At this time, Gongsun Xun suddenly and formally asked for an audience, which made Aunt Gongsun's maids panic and puzzled.
However, Aunt Gongsun herself was not at all puzzled. She was even prepared for it.
When the two met, Gongsun Xun finished saluting his mother who was sitting in the back hall. After getting up, he simply said bluntly: "Mother, my son has met the Han Emperor and has made up his mind. He will end this matter before the autumn harvest and ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor!"
That’s why I came here to ask for something specifically today!”
Aunt Gongsun nodded slowly, then personally took out a palm-long and square box from behind, placed it directly on the tables on one side, and sighed:
"I've known for a long time that I couldn't hide it from you, so I've been waiting for you!"
Gongsun Xun stepped forward, opened the box, and calmly took out a jade seal.
I saw that this seal was four inches in diameter, with five dragons on it. There were eight big characters engraved on the lower front, which read, "Ordered by heaven, you will live forever." Not only that, one of the four corners of the seal was obviously broken, but it was
People used red gold to patch it up. The gold and jade were mixed together, dyed with green and yellow, and shone under the candlelight, making it even more moving.
Needless to say, this is the national jade seal... Gongsun Xun could not find it for a long time. He had already guessed that his mother had obtained it directly through Gongsun Yue during the chaos that day, or had someone find it from some well after the chaos.
, I just kept silent and didn’t press anyone.
"What a treasure!" Gongsun Xun held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't help but shake his head. "Actually, I can probably guess what my mother was thinking...the most precious treasure in the well has a dragon on it, and my mother said that she got it from the well because of the dragon."
After traveling so far, are the two really connected?"
Aunt Gongsun, who already had slight white strands in her hair, felt sad for a moment when she heard this, but she adjusted her black-rimmed glasses that had been worn for a long time: "I don't know, I don't have the guts to take this thing and jump into the well to try it.
I have lived here for more than 40 years and have a house full of children and grandchildren. She will soon become the Queen Mother. Now that things have happened, do you still expect to go back? It is better to seriously want to be a Xiaozhuang Queen Mother or something. But you are the one who ascends the throne this time.
It’s so urgent, and after all, it’s the Han family’s four-hundred-year destiny. Someone will care about it, so I might as well leave it to you to get your destiny right!”
Gongsun Xun laughed dumbly, but put the imperial seal that was still warm in his hand back into the box, then turned to his own mother and laughed: "Although there is no need to jump into a well or anything, why not grind some jade powder and put it in the box?"
In the porridge, try to see if it has any special effects? Or in the future, when my mother is really immortal, she will be buried on the grassland outside the Great Wall as she said, and her bones will be buried three feet into the ground. When the white horse tramples them, she will be buried with them.
How can I place my soul on God and live another life?"
"Don't be joking." Aunt Gongsun said angrily. "It's not that I can't bear to part with this thing, but I really have some concerns about it."
"My son is not watching a joke." Under the candlelight, Gongsun Xun directly pushed the box in front of his mother. "I haven't taken it seriously yet, and I haven't cared about destiny...if you ask me,
If mother has worries in her heart, just leave it alone! If her son wants to ascend the throne and become emperor, it doesn’t matter if mother gives him individual gifts."
Aunt Gongsun raised her eyes from the jade seal to face her son, but it was her turn to laugh: "I should have thought of it earlier...but I am indeed prepared! I promise you,
After you ascend the throne, the Amway can be owned by the state and left to your disposal, but you must also promise me a few things."
"Mother, please speak." Gongsun Xun bowed in response.
"First, the Amway involves a huge amount of money. Even I don't know how much business there is now. It needs to be handed over slowly to avoid any trouble."
"It's natural."
"Secondly, the reason why Amway is so successful is that it is a business rather than an official office... After you get it, you must remember that whether it is split or merged, it cannot be separated from the court officials.
There are too many intersections and circulations, otherwise this business name will naturally become dull!" Aunt Gongsun Su Rong reminded.
Gongsun Xun nodded heavily.
"Then go!" Aunt Gongsun suddenly felt relieved, but she picked up Yuxi and carried it to the back room. "It's a good conscience to leave a thought for your mother."
"If my mother lives a long life, she will also have a conscience in the future!" Gongsun Xun, who had already turned around to leave, turned around and was equally relieved.
The huge thing between the mother and son was so easily lifted up by a jade seal. In other words, the last missing corner of the Yan Kingdom's destiny was so lightly filled by a jade seal. It can only be said that it is no wonder that this thing is so valuable.

"What's more, the most powerful king will never come out of the world! Yu had the world and passed on sixteen kings, and Shaokang had the cause of Zhongxing. Tang had the world and passed on twenty-eight kings, and those who were very prosperous were called three sects. King Wu had the world, and he had twenty-eight kings. Thirty-six kings were passed down, and the achievements of Kang's rule and Xuan's achievements were not mentioned.
