The sixth year of Jian'an will be the last year of "Jian'an".
Basically, the princes with some connections in the court have already heard the news and are waiting for Liu Xie to announce the new reign name at the court meeting on the first day of the first lunar month!
"Jian'an" was the new reign title established by Cao Cao after he welcomed Liu Xie back to Xu County in the east. Now it has come to an end with Liu Xie's return to Chang'an in the west.
In the original history, "Jian'an" was also the last era name of the Han Dynasty, which was used until the 25th year of Jian'an, when Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty.
Now Liu Xie has returned to Chang'an, the former capital of the Han Dynasty, and is preparing to set up a new reign name, which symbolizes a new beginning - Xingshun.
Not only do we want to revive the Han Dynasty, but we also want it to be smooth and smooth, which is a beautiful wish.
On the first day of the first lunar month, apart from the Chang'an imperial court, Jingzhou Prefecture was the most lively.
Liu Xie had already informed them before that he would use the "Xianshi Zhiwen" to announce the canonization of Liu Cong...
Since it was necessary to "know the news" anyway, Liu Xie, after discussing with the ministers, decided to do it beautifully - mainly to announce the new reign title, and at the same time prepare to ennoble a group of princes!
Liu Cong will not only be officially named the Shepherd of Jingzhou, but will also be canonized as the Marquis of Cai...
Well, there was also the State of Cai in the Spring and Autumn Period. It was always between being "oppressed by the State of Chu" and "united with other countries to attack Chu", and was eventually destroyed by Chu. Is there any factor in the title of "Marquis of Cai" that refers to Sang and Huai...
…Bai Tu doesn’t know either, and Bai Tu doesn’t bother to ask.
However, Xiangyang City was bustling with excitement at this time. Many aristocratic families gathered in Jingzhou Mansion. Because they had received the news in advance, they had even prepared the "Caihou Mansion" sign.
To say that I am a little unhappy, that is that after Kuai Yue failed to attack Wancheng in the north, he had withdrawn his troops more than a month ago, but the Chinese army only returned to Xiangyang yesterday. As a result... due to some scheduling problems, the city has not yet been opened.
The door welcomes the army to enter!
Of course, the so-called "scheduling" problem is actually the manifestation of some conflicts between the Nanjun gentry and the Nanyang and Jiangxia gentry, as well as the confidants Liu Biao left behind.
But even so, most of the troops in Wengcheng were still dominated by the generals of Cai and Kuai, so the Nanjun nobles just kept this unhappiness in their hearts...
Today is a happy day for Jingzhou Prefecture, and everyone is happily waiting for the canonization!
They had already received the news that this time the court wanted Jiuxi to have a big show...
We can also guess some of the thoughts of the court - let you be the King of Wei, let you be the King of Chu, let you be awarded Jiuxi... Now I will send them to you one by one to see if you are still beautiful!
Anyway, the current separatist forces in various places are basically warlords, or semi-warlords, and are actually independent of the imperial court. When two copies of Jiuxi have been sent out, sending more will only "depreciate" the value of Jiuxi.
Soon, in Jingzhou Mansion, while the civil and military officials were celebrating, the live broadcast... No, the "Xianshi Zhiwen" started!
Compared with Bai Tu, the "Xianshi Zhiwen" forcefully promoted by Jinling Ji, the scope of Dahan Ji's Xianshi Zhiwen is much larger. Any city in the Han Dynasty can see this in mid-air when looking up.
One scene.
I saw Liu Xie at the great court meeting where all the ministers were present. He first officially announced that he would move the capital to Chang'an and change its name to "Xingshun". He designated this year as the first year of Xingshun. Then he began to commend Liu Bei and others who welcomed him back to the west...
Of course, when Yuan Tan saw this scene in Handan, he wanted to curse - obviously we, the Yuan family, were the first to do it! But in the end, he was killed by the traitorous ministers and traitors?
Liu Xie did not commend him for nothing, he rewarded these meritorious officials one by one...
Ma Teng was granted the title of Yonghou, Han Sui was granted the title of Zhaihou, and Yang Feng was granted the title of Saihou. The titles were obtained at the turn of Chu and Han. Xiang Yu granted the title of Qin's three surrendered generals in the Three Qin Dynasty. However, Liu Xie granted the title of marquis, not
king.
Zhang Yan was granted the title of Marquis of Zheng - the current task of repairing the Zheng Guo Canal in Guanzhong is indeed the work of the people who moved from Montenegro, but... Zheng Guo Canal was built by a Qin man named "Zheng Guo" and has nothing to do with Zheng Guo.
"Zheng" is the name of the country in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is a feudal state east of Hulao Pass, including the current Xu County. It mainly reveals that Liu Xie wanted to take back Xu County and ordered Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Sili, and Liangzhou to join forces.
A unified mind.
Originally, Liu Ai and others suggested that Liu Bei should be granted the title of King of Qi, and Liu Zhang should be granted the title of King of Shu. After all, even Cao Cao and Bai Tu were kings, so couldn't the Liu clan do the same?
However, Liu Bei refused to resign, so these two clansmen who occupied a state were only granted the title of Marquis of Qi and Marquis of Shu...
This made Liu Xie change his view of Liu Bei a lot.
If Liu Xie had made the decision himself, he would now want to declare Zhang Lu a traitor, because as long as Hanzhong is opened, not only can Hanzhong be occupied, the former Han Dynasty's Longxing land, but Liu Zhang's Yizhou can also be connected to Guanzhong
, then the imperial court’s advantage would be three points more.
However, this idea was unanimously opposed by Liu Ai, Liu Bei and others - now they are unable to attack Hanzhong at all. In a short period of time, their top priority is to clean up Guanxi, Sili, Hedong and open up the Xu County area...
After Ma Teng heard about it, he enthusiastically asked for a fight.
However... it is obviously unrealistic to expect the Xiliang army, which is strong in cavalry, to attack Hanzhong.
Between Hanzhong and Yizhou, there is "the towering sword pavilion and the Cui Wei", while between Hanzhong and Guanxi, it is also like "where is the home of the Qinling Mountains where the clouds are, the snow embraces the blue gate and the horse cannot move forward".
The Qinling Mountains stretch thousands of miles from east to west and six hundred miles from north to south, with an average altitude of two thousand meters. Among them, there are only a handful of small roads that can be used to travel.
These include the "Baoxie Road" that Liu Bang built openly to appease Xiang Yu, the "Chencang Road" that he secretly attacked during the surprise attack on Guanzhong, as well as the "Qishan Road" favored by Zhuge Liang in the original history, and the "Qishan Road" that Wei Yan suggested for the surprise attack.
"Ziwu Road" and "Tangluo Road" taken by Zhong Hui when he conquered Shu.
As for the Tangluo Road, Zhong Hui built the plank road for a long time in order to conquer Shu. The horse's hoof also collapsed during the march. When Cao Shuang conquered Shu, he even got lost in it for a month...
Do you expect Ma Teng's Xiliang army to enter?
I'm afraid Zhang Lu didn't even know that the Xiliang army was attacking him after three months of sending troops!
In this case, the only one who could attack Hanzhong was Liu Zhang from Yizhou, and Liu Zhang still used the imperial edict to attack Hanzhong?
Regardless of whether Zhang Lu was declared a traitor or not, Liu Zhang was attacking Zhang Lu, and it was foreseeable that... there would probably be no progress.
In this case, why rush to make Zhang Lu hate the court?
Liu Xie had also gradually learned how to restrain his temper and consider things from the perspective of "profit", so he just ignored Zhang Lu.
After being awarded six sets of Nine Tins in one breath, Liu Xie ignored Bai Tu and Cao Cao.
Although he will not completely break up with them, it is also intended to suppress their authority. The seventh one...Liu Xie also specifically emphasized that he is the last one to be canonized today-Liu Cong, the Marquis of Cai!
In fact, even among the people of Xiangyang, many people only found out today that Liu Biao had died.
However, because of the support of the imperial court, although Liu Cong was a childish person, he was able to live up to his reputation.
But what Liu Xie didn't know was that just half an hour before he announced the canonization of Liu Cong via live broadcast, at the Jingzhou Mansion banquet where they were having a banquet, hundreds of soldiers suddenly rushed out from the backyard, and all the hundreds of civil and military personnel at the table were rushed out.
control……
Fortunately, Jingzhou Prefecture has always valued civility over military affairs. Otherwise, if there were more generals present, hundreds of soldiers might not be able to control the situation!
