In August of the second year of Xiping, Shi Mo, the commander of Taiwei's envoy, sent Fuyu as an envoy.
In September, Fuyu descended.
No one knows what the people of Fuyu have experienced in this month. They only know that King Fuyu rushed to Zhang Wen's camp in person and asked Taiwei to surrender. His words were very sad. Please let the envoy go back. We Fuyu surrendered, and the court could exclude the prime minister from coming to govern. Zhang Wen kindly helped him up. King Fuyu had to rush to Luoyang in person to surrender to the emperor.
King Fuyu agreed, and Dong Zhuo led an army into Fuyu.
After that, the entire eastern part of the Han Dynasty was completely connected. From Xinzhou, Hezhou, to Goguryeo, Fuyu, Nanfuyu, Dongyi, Sanhan, and the Han Dynasty, no force other than the Han Dynasty could threaten the safety of the eastern territory of the Han Dynasty. As his prestige increased, this huge victory allowed the Han Dynasty to expand its territory once again.
The ministers will never look down upon a monarch who can open up territory for his country.
Zhang Wen originally thought that he could hide these ministers and completely pacify Fuyu. Unexpectedly, Fuyu surrendered very simply, so Zhang Wen no longer had to conceal it. He reported to the temple that Goguryeo had been defeated, and both northern and southern Fuyu were willing to surrender. The officials were overjoyed, and the people cheered for joy. After twenty years of Gongyang Guanxue, the people of the Han Dynasty were not disgusted with such military actions.
He Zi said, I, the great man, was born with the mission of spreading etiquette culture to all directions. These are all promotions of the saint's way. Seeing this situation, many ministers who want to change the official "Jianning Enlightenment Chapter" are helpless. Silent for a while, it seemed that they could not erase the influence of Gongyang Studies.
He Zi died, but his thoughts still pervaded the common people of the Han Dynasty. The official enlightenment books he edited had a deep foundation among the people after twenty years of Xuanhua. What's more, today's emperor is still He Zi himself. They taught that as long as the emperor was still there, they had no way to move the official school. In recent years, the emperor also intended to expand the official school, which is even more terrible.
When Miss Cai walked into Houde, the emperor was looking at the things on the document, in a daze. He raised his head and saw her walking in. The emperor smiled and said, "Come, sit down." Miss Cai also sat down. Standing next to him, the little fat man pointed to the items on the document and said, "Look, what do you think? This was just sent by the Hongdu School."
On the document, there is a small ship, only the size of a palm, which looks lifelike.
Miss Cai widened her eyes, looked at it for a moment, and said, "This thing is so lifelike, the craftsman's craftsmanship is outstanding."
"Hey, this is my big man's new ship. Did you know that according to Ma Jun, this ship can carry eight hundred people and can be equipped with a crossbow?" The little fat man squinted his eyes and said with a smile. After looking at the ship for a long time, he chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, if rats can't be carried in such a small boat, why can it carry people?"
The little fat man was helpless and wanted to explain. He turned his head and saw Miss Cai snickering. Then he realized in his heart that this guy was making fun of him! He said angrily: "Okay, you dare to commit bullying." crime?"
"My mother once said that there is no king or minister in the family."
"Hahaha, okay, then I won't use national law, but will punish you according to family law!"
In October, Miss Cai will be the queen.
After officially receiving Zhang Wen's battle report, the emperor decided to hold a court meeting. The governance of the Goguryeo area and the planning of the Fuyu area needed to be discussed by all officials. The emperor had previously gone to the north in person to provide disaster relief. He
I also know a little about the situation in Goguryeo. Goguryeo is different from Samhan and Donghao. There are many mountains and forests here and little farming land.
Whether it is Chidao or farming, it seems that it is not feasible here?
We must eliminate those who are considered capable and go to Goguryeo to stabilize the situation there, the emperor thought in his heart.
When he reached the top, the ministers were already waiting below, led by Cui Shi. Cui Shi always looked like he was dying. He always closed his eyes and rested, and never discussed with the ministers privately.
He was trembling when he spoke, and all the officials agreed that this Situ was probably the most useless Situ from the first year of Jianning to now.
Huang Wan quickly reminded in a low voice: "Mr. Situ, your Majesty is here!"
"Huh?" Cui Shi then opened his eyes and looked around in shock. After coming back to his senses, he led all the officials to pay homage to the emperor. The emperor didn't care at all about his appearance and instead greeted him.
His body, Cui Shi still seemed a little unconscious. He replied a few words to the emperor, then closed his eyes again, and the emperor looked at the ministers.
"I am very happy after hearing about the performance of the Taiwei. This victory over Goguryeo has caused the two countries of Fuyu to surrender after hearing the news, showing the unparalleled power of the Han Dynasty!"
"It's just that Xinping, Goguryeo, has a place to help. I don't know who to send there, and which state should it belong to?"
The emperor asked.
Xing Zi'ang was the first to get up, walked to the center, and bowed: "Your Majesty, I believe that Goguryeo should be like the three Koreas, Donghao, with separate counties, led by the prefect, divided into counties, assigned county magistrates, built Chi Road, connected
"East", he stated his plans one by one, the emperor nodded, and after Xing Ziang finished speaking, he returned to his position.
Yuan Feng, Cui Shi, Cai Yong, Lu Zhi and other veteran ministers then came forward and said: "I second the proposal."
"I have something to say!"
Suddenly, someone interrupted their words. The veterans turned their heads in surprise. The person who spoke was Yuan Feng's subordinate Caoao. He raised his head and looked at the little fat man. He looked at the man who looked very much like Emperor Xiaokang.
Looking at his face, he said seriously: "I believe that what Mr.
"Goguryeo is different. This is a country, one people and one king. And the king died in my hands. If we set it up separately and appoint prefects and magistrates, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public and even more difficult to administer. At that time, if we want Goguryeo to be stable
, then Dong and Huangfu’s troops could only be stationed in Goguryeo, not to mention that Goguryeo was not capable of building Chidao and establishing civilian villages in terms of terrain and land.”
“What Goguryeo produces are forest trees.”
"I believe that Goguryeo should be made the headquarters of Youzhou, led by the governor, and a prefect should be appointed. The county magistrate should coordinate with the local leaders."
As soon as Cao āo finished speaking, someone else said: "I have something to say!"
It was the doctor Cao Xu You who made the move, and he was appointed as the subordinate of Sikong Yuan Feng. He raised his hand and said: "I think that what Duke Cao said is unacceptable. With Goguryeo as the governor of Youzhou, how can the governor of Youzhou rule the great land of Nuo? No.
If so, we will use Goguryeo, Donghao and Sanhan as new states, and appoint an important minister to govern them. Now the Three Hans Donghao will be stable, and the power of the Three Hans Donghao will suppress Goguryeo."
As he spoke, Caoao lowered his head and laughed. He was not angry because Xu You opposed him. The reason why he opposed Xing Ziang's words was just to change this lifeless temple. Obviously, he did it,
The old ministers looked very shocked. They didn't react. They had been sitting in the temple for too long.
Over the years, their proposals have never been vetoed, and there has never been such a dispute over a political matter in the DPRK. These veterans from the Jianning period seemed out of place in this new DPRK discussion.
They were like helpless children, looking confusedly at the unfamiliar surroundings. When Yuan Feng raised his head and looked at the Emperor.
The little fat man was also looking at him.
Yuan Feng's heart trembled and he understood immediately.
He said nothing and looked at the ministers in the court. After Xu You finished expressing his views, Xun Yu immediately stood up.
"I think what Mr. Xu said is unacceptable!"
"I think that what Mr. Xun said is unacceptable!"
"I think what Huang Gong said is unacceptable!"
"I think that what Mr. Chen said is unacceptable!"
Numerous arguments suddenly broke out in the court. Everyone was thinking about how to deal with the Goguryeo incident. Seeing the young people waving their fists and arguing passionately, Yuan Feng found with some sadness that he could no longer integrate into this temple.
Yes, the same is true for Cai Yong, Zhang Jian and others.
After arguing for several hours, they finally made a decision to appoint Goguryeo, Sanhan, and Dongyi as Ningzhou, and use Jia Xu, the governor of Xiliang, as the governor, to supervise, and to move the people of Goguryeo to Youzhou to use Youzhou as the governor.
State criminal households and merchants moved to Goguryeo with great power, and built more logging stations in Goguryeo to provide timber for the north. They also wanted to execute the leaders of Goguryeo to prevent further rebellion.
Moreover, the Goguryeo people were warlike and had to waste their young strength through the construction of Chidao.
Fuyu, on the other hand, ruled the country alone, with King Shangshu as the prime minister. This was a disguised expulsion. The relationship between the king and Cao Ao was not good. Cao Ao led these new forces and drove him away without giving the king any excuse to oppose.
Out of the core of the temple.
The little fat man was extremely satisfied with their proposal, with a smile on his face.
"That's not possible!"
Among the ministers, Cai Yong stood up angrily. He looked at the emperor and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the political affairs of Goguryeo and Fuyu are all fine by me. However, I am ashamed of you when it comes to the affairs of the people of Goguryeo."
also!"
He looked at the emperor and said loudly: "Our Emperor Renzong Xiaokang of the Han Dynasty once said that those who join our Han Dynasty should be Han people. The people of Goguryeo have joined our Han Dynasty, and they rule their people with murder, plunder and cruelty, and kill their leaders for no reason.
Such harsh policies that harm young people will definitely turn against these civilians and lead to war in vain."
"Government with benevolence and equal treatment will ensure the peace of the people and the country."
"Your Majesty turned a blind eye to the fact that the ministers were proud of their harsh government and cruelty. Do you know the legacy of Emperor Xiaokang?"
Cai Yong said loudly, Cao āo and others were a little disdainful. These old ministers talked about benevolence, justice and morality, but could not do anything practical, and they still wanted to ride on the heads of hundreds of officials. The emperor also frowned, squinted his eyes, and said:
"Mr. Cai, this is the Xiping period, not Jianning."
Cai Yong was angry, his face turned red, he trembled for a moment, and then he said: "In this case, I am willing to retire and return to my hometown to spend my old age. I hope your majesty will agree!"
The little fat man narrowed his eyes and said, "Why is my father-in-law like this?"
"The ministers discussed this, but I have never agreed."
Cai Yong trembled a little and said: "I am a remnant of Jianning, and the temple of Xiping is really a position without ministers."
The emperor did not respond, and severely reprimanded the ministers for their proposal to harm the people, and hurriedly ordered the end of the court meeting. Although he reprimanded, he still did not change their proposal.
"Your Majesty's intention today is so clear," Yuan Feng shook his head and sighed.
Beside him were Cui Shi and Cai Yong. Cai Yong said: "Why are you sighing? Could it be that you are reluctant to give up the position of these three Dukes?"
"Haha" Yuan Feng suddenly laughed and said: "What are you coveting for the position of the three princes?"
"Ever since I became Sikong, I have always been busy because I had some free time." Yuan Feng said, and then said with a smile: "In the past, Emperor Xiaokang was a dissident in the Qing Dynasty, and I never thought that we would occupy a high position in the temple.
, one day, he himself became a dissident in the DPRK."
"No problem, no problem. Nowadays, there are many talented people in the temple. Cao Jia, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You and the like are all worthy of being famous ministers. We are old, so it is better to leave the affairs of the country to your hands. I have no worries."
"Yeah," Yuan Feng comforted himself.
"It's just that they are too young and eager to achieve success. I know that at this moment, they must be criticizing us for being benevolent, moral, and mediocre." Cai Yong said sadly, paused, and then said: "It's just that they don't know.
Before Emperor Xiaokang, the barbarians in various places, including the Xiongnu and Wuhuan, were often oppressed by officials, despised in temples, and killed with excuses."
"For hundreds of years, internal troubles have never stopped. There have been rebellions every year and wars every year. After Emperor Xiaokang came to the throne, he taught the holy way and benevolent. In the past twenty years, has there been any chaos? Now he suppresses it with force.
After Goguryeo, if the Han Dynasty's national strength is not as strong as it is now, won't those who have been oppressed become the Han Dynasty's worry again?"
"Only through education and benevolence, so that people can turn their hearts towards the Han people and become the people of the Han people, is the way to eternal peace."
"They say we are pedantic and timid but we don't know why we are like this."
Cai Yong took a sip of bitter wine, closed his eyes, and sighed.
"Mr. Cui, what do you think?"
Yuan Feng turned his head and looked at Cui Shi. Cui Shi still had his eyes closed and said nothing. Yuan Feng shook his head. Cui Gong was too old. He had experienced four emperors. He had rejected the domineering general Liang Ji back then. In terms of qualifications,
, no one in the Manchu Dynasty could compare with him. Yuan Feng also continued to drink and said: "Now, if we are in a hurry to retire, I'm afraid the emperor will not..."
"Your Majesty still has to take care of our status and cannot lose the reputation of an old minister."
"It seems that I can only wait until next year before I leave the temple due to illness."
Yuan Feng said, he looked at Cai Yong and said: "Cui Gong is old and I'm afraid he will leave the temple soon. Do you have any thoughts?"
Cai Yong raised his head and looked at him.
"As the ministers have discussed, it is not true. I would like to propose to Your Majesty that I will not leave like this."
"I, Emperor Renzong and Xiaokang, have devoted my whole life to create such a prosperous age. I will protect it with my life and will never let others destroy it."
"Cai Jun," Yuan Feng was shocked. He saw that this stubborn old minister, who had never shown a trace of timidity, actually had tears streaking in the corners of his eyes.
Cai Yong pursed his lips, without wiping away his tears, and said:
"I would like to see Emperor Xiaokang if he is still here."
