Zhu Si's team did not return to Chang'an, but stopped in Lantian County. He really could not afford to lose face by returning to Chang'an at this time. At the same time, Yuan Xiu and Liu Sigu also advised him to immediately notify Zhang Yan, who was negotiating in Taiyuan, to find out.
Guo Song’s true intention.
Yuan Xiu and Liu Sigu both saw that it was impossible for Guo Song to let them leave Guanzhong before a final agreement was reached. At this time, the negotiation in Taiyuan was the key.
That afternoon, in the military camp outside Lantian County, Zhu Si was discussing with several generals the possibility of storming Wuguan. Several of his subordinates were gearing up and eager to try. Seeing that Zhang Guangsheng had been silent, Zhu Si couldn't help but said with some dissatisfaction: "Shanghai
Doesn’t the general have any ideas?”
Zhang Guangsheng was previously named General Tiance, but because Guo Song also had this title, Zhu Si did not want to offend Guo Song on this matter, so he removed the word "Tiance" from Zhang Guangsheng's official title and changed his title to him.
As a general.
Although he was a general, he was in name only and had no military power in his hands. He gradually became Zhu Si's military staff. Zhang Guangsheng was also discouraged and spent most of his time indulging in wine or remaining silent.
Seeing Zhu Si asking him, Zhang Guangsheng had no choice but to answer: "I suggest that my lord should stay put and wait for news from Taiyuan."
Zhu Si's eyes widened, "Speak clearly and don't hide it!"
Zhang Guangsheng said slowly: "If Guo Song really wants to annihilate us, he will seize Wuguan in the south and Lantian Pass in the north after we have completely entered Shangluo Road, and completely block us in Shangluo Road. Wei Chen doesn't know if he will
He knows how to do this, so we should not act rashly. Once we really attack Wuguan, I believe that Tongzhou will definitely fall. Guo Song’s cavalry will appear to the north of us. The Wei River has frozen, and there is no way to stop him."
Zhu Si was horrified when he heard this, and said anxiously: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I almost entered Shangluo Road!"
"Wei Chen only woke up last night. I wanted to find an opportunity to talk to His Majesty today, but Your Majesty just asked about it at this time."
Zhu Si suddenly became frustrated and waved his hands to the generals, "We won't attack Wuguan for the time being. Wait for news from Taiyuan. You all can go back!"
Everyone dispersed, and at this moment, Liu Sigu hurriedly walked in. As soon as he entered the tent, he said urgently: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent pigeon message from Taiyuan!"
Zhu Si perked up and asked quickly: "What did Zhang Yan say?"
"Zhang Yan said that Guo Song put forward six conditions for us to move the capital to Luoyang. The first is not to destroy the palace, the second is not to move the people, the third is not to move the palace maids, the fourth is not to dig tombs, the fifth is not to take away jewelry and jades, and the sixth is
It is not allowed to plunder the people's property in Guanzhong. Other troops, officials, family members and food supplies can be taken away."
Zhu Si said for a long time: "What does the military advisor think?"
Liu Sigu said slowly: "In fact, it is very clear that Guo Song blocked Wuguan for the sake of 120,000 wealthy households."
"Is there any news from Dengzhou?"
Liu Sigu nodded, "I just received news that Dengzhou's 10,000-strong army has been completely destroyed. The opponent has at least 10,000 cavalry and has taken control of Dengzhou."
Zhu Si was upset and paced back and forth with his hands behind his hands. He expected to plunder Guanzhong after moving the capital, including opening the imperial mausoleums and plundering the treasures buried with the emperors of the past dynasties. However, Guo Song did not allow him to do this, which made him angry.
, lost again.
"Why do I have to keep my jewelry and jades?" Zhu Si asked dissatisfied.
"This...Weichen thinks this is probably Guo Song's personal request. I heard that he loves jade very much, so just leave the jade to him. He doesn't know if the other jewelry has been taken away by His Majesty."
Zhu Si let out a long sigh. In any case, he would temporarily agree to Guo Song and let him leave Guanzhong. As for whether to plunder Guanzhong, we will talk about it later.
"Immediately send a pigeon letter to Zhang Yan. I can accept all the conditions proposed by the other party, but ask them to abandon Wuguan and evacuate Dengzhou."
........
On the last day of the third year of Zhenyuan, Guo Song and Zhu Si reached an agreement in Taiyuan. The Jin army left Wuguan and allowed Zhu Si's eastern patrol team to leave Guanzhong.
According to the agreement reached between the two parties, Zhu Si left two thousand boxes of jewels and jades as money for the trip, and sent people to send two thousand palace ladies who followed him on his eastward tour back to Chang'an. The negotiated treaty did not mention eunuchs, and the hundreds of people who accompanied the army were
The famous eunuch continued to follow him to Luoyang.
Yao Jin immediately led his army to go north to Guanzhong via Shangluo Road, directly passed through Tongguan and returned to Guozhou.
Although Zhu Si was very reluctant to let the other party use Guanzhong, he had no choice but to hold his nose and agree to the unreasonable request.
Zhu Si's team marched southward in mighty force, passed through Wuguan, entered Ruzhou from Ye County, and headed to Luoyang hundreds of miles to the north. The palace in Luoyang has been basically renovated, and hundreds of official residences have also been restored.
Ready.
Zhu Si moved into the Luoyang Palace, and then it was officially announced that the Qin Dynasty would move its capital to Luoyang, and Chang'an would be named Xijing as the accompanying capital of the Qin Dynasty.
………..
Amidst the sound of New Year's firecrackers, another heavy snow fell one after another. Hedong was covered with snow and became a world of auspicious snow.
Jinyang Palace is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations to welcome Guo Song's first New Year after moving to Taiyuan and the upcoming Shangyuan Festival.
Xue Tao is no longer against the palace of Jinyang Palace. She has included the Zen Heart Palace next to Yuqiong Pavilion as her residence, and selected dozens of palace maids to join her team of maids.
This is also a process of slow acceptance. No matter whether Xue Tao praises or ridicules her outside, she knows in her heart that whether she is willing or not, she must adapt to this kind of life in the palace.
Yesterday was also the day when the Zen Heart Hall decoration was completed. Early this morning, Xue Tao took his family to visit this magnificent hall. The hall covers an area of about ten acres, most of which is the small square in front of the hall.
It is paved with blue bricks, and the Zen Heart Hall building itself covers an area of only three acres, with cornices and brackets as high as three feet.
The main hall is divided into a front hall and a back hall. The back hall is relatively low. It is filled with various tables, chairs and couches, and then equipped with screens, porcelain bottles, incense burners, etc., and huge gauze curtains are hung on both sides, making it appear spacious and harmonious.
Since it was not empty, Xue Tao arranged this place as a dining hall, where the whole family would eat in the future. As for the front hall, it was used as a meeting hall, where maids and eunuchs were summoned to announce important events.
Xue Tao took everyone around and looked around, then smiled and said: "Everyone is tired, let's go and rest first, and our family will have dinner together in the evening."
Last night at Yinshi, Guo Song led the whole family to simply sacrifice their ancestors according to the previous rules. Everyone stayed up all night and was really a little tired.
"Mom, where did dad go?" Guo Weiwei didn't see her father during the New Year, and she felt a little disappointed.
"Your dad is very busy. Today is the first day of the first lunar month. Your dad has to hold a banquet in the morning to entertain the civil and military officials. Then he has to go to the military camp to reward the soldiers. He won't be able to come back until dark at the earliest. Anyway, before the fifth day of the Lunar New Year every year, your dad won't be here.
There will be time."
Next to her, Dugu Youlan put her arms around Guo Weiwei's shoulders and asked with a smile: "Why does Xiaowei want to see daddy?"
Guo Weiwei said with some embarrassment: "I painted a painting in three months and have it framed. I want to give it to my father as a New Year's gift."
"Xiaowei is showing filial piety. Your father will be happy. I'll teach you a way. Wouldn't it be more meaningful for you to surprise him by putting the painting on the table in his study room?"
This was a good idea. Guo Weiwei was so happy that she clapped her hands and said, "Thank you, Er Niang!"
Xue Tao was so angry and funny that his daughter actually spent three months secretly painting a painting and had it framed, without even knowing it.
"Xiaowei, who did you ask to help you paper the paper?" Xue Tao couldn't help but ask.
Guo Weiwei whispered: "I asked Aunt Li for help. Last time she came, I secretly asked her to find a craftsman to help me frame the paper. She sent it back a few days ago."
"You kid...you actually have to have your paintings framed, people will laugh at you."
Guo Weiwei pouted her lips unhappily and said, "I don't care, I just want to give it to daddy!"
Dugu Youlan touched Xue Tao lightly and gave her a wink, which meant that filial piety is rare, so don't hurt the child's feelings.
Xue Tao had no choice but to force a smile and said: "Okay! Your dad will definitely like it very much."
.........
According to tradition, every year on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, there will be a banquet in the government, ranging from the emperor's New Year's banquet to the governor's and county magistrate's New Year's banquet.
Treat all subordinates to a banquet.
There are high-ranking officials like Pan Liao and Zhang Qiu'an, and generals like Liang Wu and Yao Jin, as well as low-level officials working on the staff and joining the army.
There were hundreds of banquet tables in the square in front of Jinyang Palace, filled with officials, and it was extremely lively. The dishes were provided by major restaurants in Taiyuan, and the wine was also the best Meishou wine. Dozens of people were invited from Qiongyinfang.
Dancers and musicians add to the fun, and hundreds of maids from Jinyang Palace are responsible for serving food and wine.
At this time, the cloud board rang, everyone fell silent, a group of dancing girls retreated, and a dozen pipa girls also stopped playing.
Guo Song stood up, picked up the wine cup and said loudly: "As usual, I have to say a few words, but today I do have something to say. It is not a ceremony. Last year, we captured the southern part of Hedong Road, captured the Guannai Road, and officially
The Palace of the Prince of Jin moved to Taiyuan. It can be said that last year was the most glorious year for our military achievements, even more than the recovery of Anbeiting. However, we cannot forget the soldiers who unfortunately died on the battlefield in these years. Whether it was last year or before, they
They are the real heroes, I suggest you give them the first glass of wine."
After speaking, Guo Song slowly poured the wine on the ground and presented it to all the fallen soldiers.
