"Oh?" Li Xiang naturally didn't take Yang Biao's words seriously, but asked instead, "I wonder what political achievements he has?"
Li Xiang's question is actually very harsh. Liu Xie has never really ruled the world, so there is no political achievement, and there is no chance to make any political achievements.
At that time, if Yang Biao cannot answer, it will naturally be the most powerful refutation of what he said.
The result was just as Li Xiang expected. Dong Zhuo and Yang Jian were suppressing him one after another. In the end, the emperor was just a decoration. There was no possibility of contacting the government at all, let alone doing anything.
Therefore, Yang Biao could only pick and choose, looking for some trivial things to show the emperor's wisdom and favor, and save some face for everyone.
"At this time when the Han Dynasty is in danger of survival, with such a wise master, there is hope for revival!" Li Xiang said perfunctorily, obviously not very interested in what Yang Biao said. The real point of what he wanted to say was what happened next.
The conversation was just to lay the groundwork.
Li Xiang pulled the rope in his hand, steadied himself, looked directly at Yang Biao, and then slowly said, "In the past, Huo Guang and Jin Rixi were entrusted by Emperor Wu to assist Emperor Xiaozhao in stabilizing the world. Now I
You and Taiwei should also imitate the ancients and work hard for the emperor to revive the Han family and the country!"
Li Xiang's analogy has a profound meaning, and it is not just superficial. Li Xiang's real purpose is to hint at the old guy Yang Biao and make him feel a little bit secret. Otherwise, if the two sides break up in the future,
If so, no one will look good!
In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used Huo Guang and Jin Rixi as his ministers. However, Huo Guang was very powerful, and although Jin Rixi was his deputy, he had almost no power.
Li Xiang mentioned this to Yang Biao today because he wanted to prompt him to think about who should be Huo Guang and who should be Jin Rixi?
……………………………………………
The emperor and the officials of the imperial court arrived at Luoyang, the eastern capital, under the "escort" of Li Xiang's army.
On the first day after the young emperor Liu Xie re-entered Luoyang, he called all the ministers to hold a court meeting, publicly appointed Li Xiang as prime minister, and conferred the title of Grand Master, King of Jin, and Jiejie Yue. Although the world was divided and the heroes were divided into one party, but
Li Xiang has already gained a nominal advantage. From now on, he can confidently "serve the emperor to fight against his enemies", and all his military campaigns will be justified and his troops will be well-known.
Since the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the position of prime minister has no longer existed in the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, Li Xiang gave the position of general to Cao Cao, so he could not be inferior to Cao Mengde. Therefore, the official position of the prime minister
He brought it up again.
Anyway, without him Li Xiang, if Cao Cao had been allowed to hold the emperor hostage to command the princes according to the normal historical trajectory, the position of prime minister would have been re-established by Cao Mengde.
As for the position of Grand Master, Fatty Dong, who has been dead for several years, has been reorganized, and Li Xiang is just borrowing it.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong were the three Dukes, and their positions were the highest. Unlike the Western Han Dynasty, where Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao were the highest officials. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, only Taifu was the highest official, and there were no Taishi and Taibao officials. When Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was established, Dong Zhuo moved the capital
In Chang'an, he appointed himself the Grand Master, ranking above the Grand Tutor.
As the emperor returned to the Eastern Capital and settled down again in Luoyang, the imperial palace and ancestral temples were re-established, and the palace offices were also undergoing intense renovations. Even though Li Xiang had occupied Luoyang for several years, the palace had not been carefully renovated.
We just did some face-saving projects, we can't let the palace remain in ruins after being burned by Dong Zhuo.
Li Xiang did not live in the palace himself, so the previous renovations were extremely rough. Now that the emperor returned to the Eastern Capital, he began to work overtime to rebuild the palace.
This is a big project, and Li Xiang can't spare that much money right now. The war in Yongliang Province has just ended, and money and food are needed everywhere. As for the pension issue of soldiers, although it is not like other time travels,
Although the amount is as lavish as the predecessors, it is not a small sum even if a small amount adds up to a large sum.
Moreover, the war at Yue Fei's place is not over yet. When the cannon is fired, there are thousands of taels of gold, and the money and food consumed there every day is not a fraction.
Therefore, at this time, asking Li Xiang to spend a huge amount of money to build the palace is tantamount to cutting off Li Xiang's body.
However, Li Xiang still had to cut this meat. Unfortunately, in order to cut less meat, Li Xiang could only cry at the court meeting. Under Li Xiang's performance, it seemed that the treasury was really about to bottom out.
Next, in order to express his loyalty, and also to give the courtiers and the princes of the world a chance to show their loyalty, Li Xiang took the initiative to contribute part of the money and food in his private treasury, and called on all the ministers to work together for the emperor.
Work hard to relieve the imperial court's worries.
Seeing Li Xiang in the court looking loyal to the emperor and serving the country, although the courtiers felt as if they had eaten flies, they could only "give generously" to His Majesty and the imperial court!
Immediately afterwards, came the princes of the world. The eunuchs who conveyed the decree went to various princes in the world to collect taxes and pay food. At the same time, they also exaggerated the affairs in the court. Although Li Xiang did not expect much blood from these princes,
But if you can get a little, it counts.
Yuan Shao was envious and jealous of Li Xiang, but after all, he couldn't ignore it and sent his subordinates to casually offer a batch of property. Anyway, their old Yuan family had a great business and they didn't lack such a little thing. Moreover, Yuan Shao was still busy preparing to deal with Gongsun.
In the clan's power, there is no mood to worry about other trivial matters.
As for the other princes, except for Chi You, the Xiang family ignored them and pretended not to see them. The rest of them were more or less interested. However, although they were all interested, they were more dignified than the others. Especially Liu Bang, who only sent
Half a truckload of grain and fodder arrived, and it was still old grain. It was almost a deductible.
Of course, the reaction of the princes will be a matter of later events. Now, Li Xiang has other things to be busy with.
The emperor returned to Luoyang, the eastern capital. When many officials in exile or scholars who were still loyal to the court heard the news, they also had the idea of returning to serve the court. Among them, the most prestigious one is Kong after Kong Shengren.
Melted.
Of course, among the scholars who went to Luoyang, some of them came to seek refuge with Li Xiang.
And now, in front of Li Xiang are two of them, Xun Yan and Xun Yan.
Xun Yan was brought out by Yang Youji when he was in balance. Also implanted with Xun Yan was his cousin Xun Yan.
In the end, Xun Yan and the local Xun Yan chose to come to join Li Xiang, while Xun Yan went to Cao Cao for inspection at Xun You's invitation.
