Chapter 545 You Can't Hold It
When the fifth reunification asked Wan Xiu about his opinion on Wu Han, Wan Xiu said honestly.
"Wu Ziyan has a strong personality. Every time she goes to the war, the generals are unfavorable when they see the formation, and some are afraid and lose their fighting spirit. Only Wu Han is as energetic as usual, which is enough to inspire the three armies."
After talking about his advantages, Wan Xiu said again: "But Wu Han has three good people: warlike, competitive and killing."
"When I heard of the battle, I looked like a mad dog; I would do anything to win; I deliberately indulged the soldiers to kill and loot after the battle. These are all the bad things of the Wu and Han dynasties."
"Jun You said very much." The fifth rein nodded: "Last winter, the war in Longyou fell into a deadlock, and the Red Eyebrow in the East made a rebellion. I failed to wait until you achieved your full contribution, so I hurried back east. Later, I was busy planning the Heji War and ignored Liangzhou. Jun You also returned due to illness, and no one could suppress Wu Han. In just half a year, Longyou had a faint chaos."
"It can be seen that Wu Han can be invincible for a sharp blade, but he cannot guard one side."
We can't blame Wu and Han completely. The situation in Long and the land is too complicated. The newly occupied land, the Han-Qiang conflict, and foreign forces are mixed together. The water here is very deep. Wu and Han are just a soldier and cannot control it.
Wu Han is a good knife. Di Wu Lun once used him to cut off Longban. Now, it is time to take back the knife!
"It seems that I still have to make up for the loss of the sheep and find a suitable general for Liangzhou."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Xiu volunteered to say, "I have recovered greatly after resting for several months. I am willing to share your worries!"
This is not the purpose of the Fifth Reun visiting this day. Looking at Wan Xiu who was unable to move on the couch, he shook his head and said, "You must not work hard anymore. The imperial doctor said that you must not ride a saddle and horse again within half a year. What's more, you also have an important task!"
Wu Lun stood up and said, "I have decided to promote Luoyang to Zhongjing. At the end of autumn, I will go east and preside over the nearby commander to send troops to Qingzhou next year!"
Wan Xiu understood: "Your Majesty wants to live in Luoyang forever?"
The fifth communion said: "Yes, since the national policy is to first go east and then go west, starting next year, within several years, the war will be concentrated in Guandong, which is more convenient in Luoyang."
"But Xijing also needs to keep people. Cen Peng has already been stationed in the south. This person who guards Guanzhong is of course the General of Guard!"
This matter requires a veteran with enough prestige and qualifications, but there is no need to run around. You can lie in Chang'an, which is most suitable for Wan Xiu.
But Wan Xiu was not happy and worried. The fifth relationship was still in Chang'an, and Liangzhou was just like this bird. The distance was even further away. What would it be so great?
The fifth reunion also had this concern and sighed: "Although the eighth Jiao was the governor of Liangzhou, it would be good to be able to manage the four counties of Hexi well. I should use a magistrate with both civil and military ranks to replace Wu Han."
He looked at Wan Xiu: "Do you have any other candidates recommended?"
Since the emperor was "humble and asked questions", Wan Xiu said his name without hesitation.
"Du Zhougong can take on this position!"
Wan Xiudao: "I heard that Dou Rong's grandfather was the prefect of Zhangye, his grandfather was the captain of the Qiang Hunting, and his younger brother is now the prefect of Wuwei. In this way, Dou Rong has been in Hexi for many generations and knows his local customs."
"Dou Rong is both civil and military, and has a steady temperament, which is completely different from Wu and Han. If he could guard Liangzhou, it would be enough to help Xiongjie and Huaiji Qiang people."
Unexpectedly, Di Wulun shook his head and directly rejected the proposal: "Dou Rong has a gentle personality and is more than Wen Tao, so he may not be able to suppress the arrogant soldiers and generals under Wu Han."
This is just one of the reasons. The fifth reunification has other considerations. It is not that he is worried that Dou Rong will become a new warlord in Liangzhou. Although Old Zhou Gong was determined to go to Hexi at the beginning, it was all yesterday's clouds. Now that he is sent to the west, Dou Rong is afraid that he will feel wronged!
"Duke Zhou has another responsibility." The fifth reun used this sentence to make excuses, but still did not make it clear, and insisted on forcing Wan Xiu to recommend the talent to give up.
Wan Xiu was in trouble now. After thinking about it, he had to say:
"Your Majesty, there is one more person who is suitable to guard Liangzhou!"
...
In September of the second year of Wude, Luoyang was filled with a joyful atmosphere. Local Confucian scholars and great merchants suddenly began to praise Emperor Wei.
"The establishment of a capital of the capital began during the reign of King Wu of Zhou. The people of Zhou were originally a country of Western territory. After the success of the eastern expedition, the king of Zhou Feng and Hao were far away in Guanzhong, and there was no worry about being too long in the east. Therefore, King Wu wanted to set up a capital of Yi, Luo, and Tianbao, and rely on Tianshi, but it was a pity that the sky was not over. Later, King Cheng took over the throne and asked Duke Zhou to regain Luoyi, as King Wu wanted to set up a capital of Luoyang."
"It can be seen from this that Luoyang was the first to be a capital! He occupied Chenggao on the left and blocked Mianchi on the right, headed towards Songgao on the front, stepped on the river, built Xingyang on the back, and helped the east of the river, and was thousands of miles north and south to be a pass, and was close to Ao Cang's grain, which is a place of beauty!"
"I'm so sad that Han Gao abandoned Luoyang and went west. In this way, the Qin and Han dynasties had no support. Although Xinmang wanted to move the capital to Luoyang, he ended in vain."
"To this day, His Majesty the Emperor of Wei has set up the Five Capitals system, which is in line with the true intention of the ancient sage!"
The reason why Luoyang people can praise it is because the fifth replies finally decided to upgrade Luoyang to Zhongjing.
This move greatly satisfied the historical pride of the officials and people in Luoyang. After all, in terms of the size of the city walls and the population, Luoyang is no worse than Chang'an. The commerce and trade are prosperous, and the cultural traditions are even stronger. However, in terms of political status, it has been suppressed by Chang'an since the demise of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Chang'an and Luoyang are like a story of the two cities, and scholars from the two places have secretly competed and compared.
What made Luoyang people most angry was that the fifth reunion set up the Five Capital System, and the first to become the capital was not Luoyang, but Yecheng in the north!
Now Luoyang people are quit. Four hundred years ago, Luoyang was already a day in Chengzhou, and Yecheng was still a wasteland. He was doing the ridiculous act of marrying his daughter in Hebo! But who made people a place where the fifth family reunion is the dragon's prosperity, and the name of the dynasty is also related to it?
But since it is the Five Capitals, how can Luoyang occupy one of the remaining three places?
This is not just a matter of face, but also means that a team of government officials in the capital will definitely create a large number of vacant positions, which means that Luoyang's declining business has a large number of orders for the imperial court.
It also means that in the future, you can borrow the name of a subordinate capital and intercept a large amount of Kanto taxes in Luoyang without having to transfer them all to Chang'an.
So for several years, Luoyang's officials and merchants, who had some connections in the court, often lobbying the court officials, hoping to make decisions as soon as possible. Liu Bang once regarded Luoyang as the capital, and from Emperor Gao to Wang Mang, Luoyang's southern and northern palaces, and the arsenal of the Armed Forces, had never been abolished. As long as the fifth relationship is willing, he could move in directly.
Now that I finally got my wish, how can people in Luoyang not be happy?
They even came up with a saying: "The poem says that the people will be exhausted and can be prosperous. We will benefit China and help all directions... China is the best place for the capital. Luoyang is originally the most important place in the world, and now the emperor has decided Luoyang as Zhongjing. Isn't this saying that Luoyang is actually the leader of the three capitals!"
With this thought, Luoyang people are no longer satisfied with being a member of the capital, but try to challenge Chang'an's status.
Contrary to the excitement of Luoyang people, the Kansai people in the court, especially the Wuling people who had the advantage in the court, were worried about these rumors.
Just now, on the way to Luoyang, Du Du, the Shangshu Lang, presented a masterpiece with his handwriting.
"On the Capital Fu?"
"I know it and then know it again. This is to emphasize knowledge. Your Majesty already knows what I want, so I briefly summarize it and dare not explain it."
Wu Lun looked at Du Du, who looked straight ahead and said that he was willing to die at any time, read with a smile.
"We should not be in vain for a long time when guests use their weapons, and the country will not forget the Western Capital. Why should we go to Luoyi to get rid of the secrets?"
This fu is very long. It only tells the history of the Qin and Han Dynasties' capital in the west, depicts the dangerous terrain of Chang'an, and despises Luoyang's so-called "victory of mountains and rivers" is just a small fight within a radius of 200 miles. How can it be compared with the 800-mile Qinchuan?
In this way, the core of the fu is still to hope that the fifth relationship will not be misled by the "small people" and give up Chang'an.
Although it makes sense and is full of thoughts on the country, the fifth reunion knows that the Kansai scholars led by Du Du also have their interests.
The people of Wuling were the main body of the noble bureaucrats of the Wei State and benefited a lot in the process of founding the country. They were generally aristocratic races, landlords, and Chang'an as the capital. The surrounding lands are more than ten times more expensive than ordinary counties. This is expensive and maintains its position as a political center, and the incremental price increase depends on the population siphon effect of the capital...
This is also the reason why the fifth reunion has to struggle with the Five Capitals system. The water and soil near Chang'an are already very bad, the groundwater is salty and bitter, Jingwei and Weiwei are always turbid, and the food is barely self-sufficient, but the fuel is quite short of fuel. The forests in northern Shaanxi are almost cut down. In desperation, the fifth reunion has agreed to develop Shanglinyuan.
But that is all an emergency measure. For long-term development, the fifth reunion can only establish a few political affiliation places, which makes people's siphon slightly diverted.
Having said that, the fifth relationship of the Guanxi scholars such as Du Du still needs to be comforted, so he smiled and said, "I'm a great fu. In the past, Sima Xiangru wrote poems to ridicule the master, so you have his own style."
Compared with Sima Xiangru, Du Duxin was filled with joy.
The fifth reunification did not respond positively to this fu, but only ordered: "I asked someone to print a thousand copies of this "On Du Fu" and scattered them in Xijing, Beijing, and Zhongjing."
The chain of contempt among cities is also considered a national treasure and will exist in any dynasty and generation.
People in Chang'an, Xijing, would think that this is the meaning of the fifth relationship, and Chang'an is the only master capital! And the people in Yecheng will probably watch the fun of the other two capitals. The scholars of Luoyang, who have strong self-esteem, may have to go against the tit-for-tat, write articles to refute Du, and even create a big debate...
Don’t get me wrong. What the fifth relationship wants is not to become clearer the more you argue about the truth, but to instigate scholars and interest groups from different regions to compete.
When the imperial lord arrived in Luoyang, nothing unexpected happened, he was welcomed far better than the previous few times.
Wu Lun was low-key. On the grounds that he did not want to disturb Luoyang people, he moved directly into the Luoyang Nangong, which was "walking in", and summoned Dou Rong, who was nicknamed "the spokesperson of Luoyang Group" by Wu Lun.
As the Sili lieutenant, Dou Rong had been guarding the East for two years, and the scholars in Luoyang were particularly close to him. However, Duke Zhou of Dou was quite cautious. His nephew and son were sent to the palace to be his husband by the side of the fifth reunion. He did not refuse the bribes of the Luoyang masters, but only gave the wealth and goods together with the account book to the fifth reunion to serve as the national treasury.
After hearing Dou Rong report on the situation in the East for several months, the fifth reunion sighed: "Duke Zhou has followed me for more than four years?"
"Four years and three months!" Dou Rong was shocked and accurately reported the time he had been in the army of the fifth dynasty. It was June of the year when the New Dynasty was destroyed. Tian Kuan, the loyal minister of the fifth dynasty, finally attacked Daxin. Dou Rong fled back from the Kunyang battlefield and entered the battlefield with a remnant soldier. He was rushed by the Yueqi camp...
"When you were in Hedong, you worked diligently and properly governed this county. You are the one who is in charge of Liu Ziyu in the east and Jingdan in the south, and repelled the attacks of Green Forest."
The fifth reunion said: "Later, he presided over the battle in Henan, moved the shogunate to Luoyang, coordinated the food and fodder of the Three Rivers to provide for Ma Guowei. In the Battle of Heji, you personally led the civilians to follow the rear to ensure the supplies of the three armies."
"This is my duty!" Dou Rong timidly.
Wu Lun smiled and said, "It's no wonder that someone in the court suggested to me that Zhou Gong had worked hard and made great contributions, and it was not appropriate to be 2,000 stones long. He should be promoted to a heavy title as soon as possible. Isn't it enough to be a 'General in the West'?"
Hearing this, Dou Rong felt a little sad and said to himself: "Does Your Majesty want to transfer me to Liangzhou?"
Dou Rong also heard about his cousin in Wuwei County and Liangzhou. Although Wu Han relied on his powerful force to suppress the commotion of the Eastern Qiang and Di people, this kind of approach was not really clever in Longdi, where the situation was complicated.
If the fifth reunite really promoted him to "General Zhenxi", he would definitely clean up the mess in the west. Although Dou Rong was eager to go to Hexi in his early years, because his ancestors were officials there, rich and well-off, and when the safety of the world was unknown, they were enough to control the country, observe the situation by themselves, and let the Dou family survive the chaos.
But now the situation is different. The situation has been formed in Wei Bingshi. Dou Rong just wants to be a worker and do a good job in the prosperous East. Who wants to live a hard life in Liangzhou and face the troubled Qiang chaos!
What's more, if it were not forbidden to do so, Dou Rong would never want to touch military power. He was different from the founders of the fifth family. He just joined halfway, no wonder he was suspicious and excluded. Since he could rely on civil governance to gain power, why rely on martial arts?
But in his mouth, Dou Rong could only pause his head and said, "I am the shield in your Majesty's hand. No matter where you need it, I am willing to go to the water and fire!"
"What water, fire, then I recommend it, no."
The fifth reunion laughed: "In the past, Emperor Gaozu asked Xiao He to guard Guanzhong, and from then on he had no worries about the West, he was able to concentrate on Shandong and eventually accomplish great things. Now, there are you in Luoyang, staying in the transfer of fortune, giving him enough military rations, and making the front-line military resources abundant, and Xiao He's achievements!"
The fifth relationship says: "Liangzhou is a problem with the elbows and armpits, the Central Plains, and the land of the heart. It is to conquer the country, to comfort the people, and to give money. How can I lose the Duke of Zhou in all these things?"
His hand stroked Dou Rong's shoulder. The next sentence, although the words of the fifth reun were light, Dou Rong's spirit almost soared into the clouds!
"According to me, the general of the heavy title is still small, you can do it..."
Wu Lun patted Dou Rong twice: "Right Prime Minister!"
Chapter completed!
