Five hundred and ninetieth chapters two dynasties set the capital
For this unfathomable clan brother, Liu Bei has always had the utmost respect for him since he arrived in Jingzhou.
Now seeing Liu Biao talking to him sincerely, Liu Bei was moved. He did not dare to neglect, and said hurriedly: "Be prepared to follow Brother Jing Sheng's lead."
Liu Biao nodded slightly and said: "I am getting old, and Liu Jiyu is an extraordinary talent. The further our three clans go, the more we will have to rely on you to take the lead. But now we don't have the opportunity, everything
But you still need to take me as your leader. I am a few years older than you. From now on, I will sell myself and regard myself as my elder brother. Are you convinced by Xuande?"
The feeling Liu Biao gave Liu Bei was somewhat unfathomable, and Liu Bei naturally did not dare to neglect him.
"For the sake of the Han Dynasty and the world, I should put my elder brother first."
Liu Biao nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, in that case, Xuande, I will arrange this first thing for you... You go back to Jiangling, supervise the construction of the palace, build the capital in Jiangling, and then bring the emperor and his family to Jiangling."
Fu Wan and others can just take it."
Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this.
What kind of dirty tricks are you trying to do?
Didn't you agree to build the capital in Gangneung before? Why did you change your position three times in one day and then agreed this time?
Seeing Liu Bei's confused expression, Liu Biao couldn't help but smile.
"Brother Xuande, in fact, I am not a stubborn person. This place of Xiangyang is located in the north of Jing Dynasty, close to the Central Plains. It is indeed not a suitable place to build a capital. My current foundation is here, but it is also
You can’t give it up casually.”
Speaking of this, Liu Biao looked around and saw no one around him, and said: "The land of Xiangyang must be inseparable from me, otherwise Jingzhou will be in chaos, but I do also intend to take advantage of the opportunity to build the capital for the emperor."
, in the land of Jingzhou, create another world, do you understand what I mean?"
Liu Bei is a smart man, who knows the elegant meaning when he hears the string.
He immediately smelled something fishy in this.
"There are many clans in Xiangyang. My brother plans to build the capital in Jiangling, gradually tilting the political center of Jingzhou towards Nanjun, and gradually deprive Cai, Kuai... of the power and influence of those clans?"
Liu Biao nodded happily and said: "My dear brother is indeed smart and worthy of being a member of our Han Dynasty. When I came to Jingzhou to take office, I relied on the power of local clans to secure the land of seven counties. This achievement is already great."
Limit, but with the current internal and external troubles, I cannot easily attack the clan, and I have been struggling to find a good solution. However, it is fortunate that His Majesty came to the land of Jingchu and gave me an opportunity to find ways to weaken the clan's power outside of Xiangyang."
Liu Bei thought about it carefully for a while, and secretly thought that Liu Biao's words were indeed reasonable, and he was indeed not an ordinary person.
"Brother Jingsheng, I don't understand. Since you already intend to establish the capital in Jiangling, why do you insist on resisting Fu Wan and insisting on establishing the capital in Xiangyang?"
Liu Biao chuckled and said: "This matter is easy to explain. If I am too supportive of the establishment of the capital in Jiangling, there is no guarantee that it will not arouse the warning and caution of the Xiangyang clan. They have been able to dominate Jingxiang for many years, and they are by no means mediocre.
Sir, I always pay attention to stability when doing things. If you act too hastily, others may see your flaws... And during this time, I have been observing you carefully to see if you are a person who can be trusted with big things.
"
The more Liu Bei listened, the more he admired Liu Biao's ability.
"Now the fight between me and Fu Wan is almost at its peak. At that time, both sides will take a step back and let him keep the emperor and live in peace in Jiangling. On the Liu family side, you will lead the troops and go to Jiangling to garrison. Xuande, you are in Jiangling.
According to my instructions, I will slowly develop my power, and contact the noble clans of Nanjun on my behalf to expand the influence of the court. If it is a clan force, I will go to Jiangling to meet you from time to time. If anything happens, you and I, brothers, can do it at any time.
Discuss."
Liu Bei heard this and said hurriedly: "Brother thinks so highly of me, so naturally Bei can do everything, except for the Prime Minister and the Xiangyang clan..."
Liu Biao laughed and said: "Don't worry, Fu Wan has been arguing with me for so long, and he has already lost his patience. Whatever conditions I propose to him now, as long as he can establish the capital, he will agree. As for the clan,
Although you are a member of the Han clan, you are here with Fu Wan after all, so I guess they won’t be too wary of you, so there’s no need to worry.”
Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this and said hurriedly: "Bei will serve Brother Jing Sheng."
"Wrong, I am serving the emperor." Liu Biao corrected him.
"Not bad."
Liu Biao suddenly said again: "Xuande, the two tiger generals under your command, Zhang Xian, are said to be not under Lu Bu. I am now dealing with Sun Ce, Lu Bu and the traitor Zhang Xian at the same time. It is quite tight to deal with two fronts at the same time. I need to borrow his strength."
...You are not allowed to take them with you when you go to Jiangling this time, and leave them in Xiangyang. I have important uses for you."
Liu Bei naturally wanted to understand Liu Biao's hidden meaning.
But he was an extraordinary person, and he agreed immediately without any hesitation.
…
Xuzhou, Pengcheng.
After Tao Shang's plan was implemented step by step, the school affairs office kept bringing back reports to Pengcheng. As expected, as Tao Shang had guessed, the people of the world and the princes were really interested in Fu Wan's actions.
suspicion and suspicion, and Xiao Liu Xi's reputation has reached a peak due to the publicity effect of the pottery merchant.
The princes from all walks of life are now watching quietly. Based on this calculation, the time has come, so it is indeed time to establish the capital.
After Guo Jia settled down with Qu Lao in Jinling City, he rushed back to Pengcheng. The pottery merchant then called in his cronies to discuss the matter of establishing an emperor.
There is no doubt that the name of the country should be the Han Dynasty.
The earth platform and high platform used for the enthronement, as well as a set of tools are also being completed.
As for the construction of the palace, with the wealth of Jinling City, it can be completed within a few months.
The date of his ascension to the throne is set for the end of next year, and his reign will be Jiankang...
These things are easy to talk about and are harmless. The key is where the capital should be established.
According to the opinions of Chen Deng, Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang and others, they believed that the capital should be located in Jinling City.
After all, after seven years of construction, Jinling City has become a powerful city in the world. Not only is it rich, it has also absorbed a dense population.
In particular, Zhang Hong once advised the pottery merchant that this was the land of Longxing.
But for some reason, the potter didn't say anything about this matter.
He seemed to be waiting for something.
After a day of fruitless discussions, everyone left one after another. Only Sima Yi did not leave. He stayed at the pottery merchant's place because he seemed to have some private matters that he wanted to discuss with him. "Zhongda, why haven't you gone back yet?"
The pottery merchant looked at him doubtfully.
Sima Yi pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and said: "Jinling is the teacher's hard work. If it is established as the capital of the Han Dynasty, the reputation that should belong to the teacher will be in vain. This place is the foundation of the teacher and cannot be used as the capital of the Han Dynasty."
The potter let out a long sigh of relief.
This is what he wanted to say but couldn't say. "So tell me, where should this capital be located?"
Sima Yi hesitated for a moment: "The student has thought about it for a long time and believes that Nanchang is the most appropriate choice."
