"Baishui patrols the former traces, and Danling is lucky to be in the old palace." [Lucky for martial arts]
At the beginning of the emperor's reign, he re-emphasized his deposed brother Liu Bian as emperor, placing him behind Emperor Xiaoling. From this incident, it can be seen that the emperor had long intended to build another ancestral temple for himself. However, with his current
For his achievements, it was more than enough to be called the ancestor after his death, but he only restored the rule of the Han Dynasty on the original basis, and was not considered the founding king. Given the strictness of the Han system on the emperor's temple title, the emperor may not necessarily be called 'ancestor'.
Even as a descendant, the emperor attached great importance to something like the ancestral temple that sealed the coffin. This was not only related to his reputation for future generations, but also to add insurance to the continuity of his new policies in the future. Driven by such a mentality
Next, the emperor was bound to keep a distance from Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and create a new situation, otherwise everything he did would be a continuation of the previous dynasty.
This was what Huang Wan suddenly realized. If the emperor really had this idea, the proposal to move the capital would probably be discontinued.
His momentum immediately weakened, and the emperor also took advantage of the opportunity to scold Huang Wan. Guanzhong was the base where he started his career. Now that the Kansai scholars have repeatedly beaten him, his power has declined, which is where he can show his ambitions. If he returns to Guandong
In Luoyang, which was within the sphere of influence of the scholars, the emperor would be constrained in everything he did. The vain spiritual culture of Guandong would quickly corrode the enterprising spirit of the imperial court. But Guanzhong was different. The adjacent Bingzhou, the land of Yongliang and Han
Living in a mixed environment, there are many conflicts, and Xianbei in Shuofang will be the enemy in the future. Setting the capital in Guanzhong can not only be unremitting and vigilant, but also play the role of guarding the country.
In view of the fact that Huang Wan prepared food and grass for the front line in Henan and was a civilian man who worked hard and made great achievements, the crime of negligence on his part was outweighed by both fines and fines.
Moving the capital is related to the fate of the country and a series of political dividends, and it will never stop because of the current setbacks. The emperor knew that there would be endless arguments about it after returning, and he made enough psychological preparations for this. But what still puzzled him was that when he came out
It was Huang Wan who led the charge, and he even made such a stupid mistake: "How old is Mr. Huang this year?"
Mu Shun of Xiaohuangmen was bringing a tea bowl from the side. He bowed slightly and recalled for a moment, and said, "It seems to be fifty-seven years old."
"Mr. Zhao is only four years older than him." The emperor stood in a dilapidated palace somewhere in the North Palace, looking at the old things in the palace. He did not accept the tea from Mu Shun and said casually: "Keren is very energetic.
He is not confused when things happen. Huang Gong became famous for his precocious wisdom when he was young. When he was in Chang'an, he was also upright and fair in governing politics, and he was very capable of fighting chaos. How come he has become so unscrupulous in his words and deeds in just a few years?"
The emperor only remembered the age of Sikong Zhao Wen, but not the age of Huang Wan, which showed the importance of the two in the emperor's heart. Mu Shun kept it in his heart and said lightly: "I have heard such a story before, it is Du Shui
The envoy Kong Wenju."
He aroused the emperor's curiosity, and wanted to say it was the story of Kong Rong letting pear fall. But this was somewhat inappropriate, so he asked: "What story is it?"
Mu Shun did not answer, stretched out his aching arm, and presented the tea bowl to the emperor.
The emperor smiled silently, reached out to take the tea bowl, blew on the tea leaves, and took a shallow sip. He only moistened it in his mouth and did not swallow it.
Mu Shun had been in charge of Pingzhun for a period of time when Jia Xu was observing filial piety. He knew that the emperor liked to hear secrets from outside the palace, so even if he did not continue to command Pingzhun later, he established some contacts to inquire for him.
The emperor finally took away the tea bowl, and Mu Shun said: "It is said that Kong Wenju visited Li Gong's residence when he was a child. Because he had no connections, he lied about the good connections between Kong and Li's family, and then he got into the hall."
At this point, Mu Shun paused deliberately, expecting the emperor to ask him why Kong Rong was not afraid of being exposed when he lied. But the emperor swallowed a sip of tea, looked at Wafi in the corner of the palace, and said slowly: "This paragraph I
I have heard that Confucius and Li Er once asked each other for courtesy in the Zhou Dynasty, so they can be regarded as worldly relatives."
Mu Shun was a little discouraged. Since the emperor knew about it, the story was no longer new. But now that he had started speaking, Mu Shun had to continue telling it. The emperor also saw Mu Shun's dilemma and laughed.
She looked at him as if: "Go on, I haven't heard anything about this."
No matter how comforting these words were, Mu Shun, who felt the importance, cheered up and continued: "At that time, everyone in the hall praised Kong Wenju for his intelligence, but Chen Wei, the Taizhong doctor, said, 'He is young.
, big may not necessarily be better’.”
The emperor suddenly put the tea bowl from which he had just taken a sip back into Mu Shun's hand, glanced at Mu Shun, and said with a half-smile, "He is not who you said he is."
Mu Shun was frightened by the emperor's smile and didn't know what he said wrongly.
However, before Mu Shun could react, the emperor sent him a message: "Go back and ask Yang Xiu to write a poem and say that I am in Yongle Palace."
Seeing that the emperor's tone was normal, Mu Shun agreed and stepped back.
The emperor walked leisurely in the court, looking at the old things, wondering what he was thinking.
Not long after, Xun You, a minister in charge of the affairs of state, came over. Behind him, someone came in with a bunch of memorials that needed to be decided.
The emperor glanced at the pile of memorials and sighed helplessly: "I really follow you wherever you go."
Xun You knew that the emperor just made a few joking complaints casually. The emperor had never been lax about government affairs. Although he did not do everything in detail and had to do everything personally, he still kept all the big things in his hands. He said a few official words as usual.
, If the emperor hadn't been delaying going to Feifei Palace, and these memorials were urgently needed for the emperor's inspection, Xun You would not have bothered the emperor with a bunch of memorials.
Some of these memorials come from Qingzhou. It is said that the naval force trained by Huang Zu, the prefect of Donglai, has achieved some success. When the commanders such as Su Fei and Zhang Yun were familiar with the waterway, they discovered the royal family of Beihai on the islands near Dongmou.
Members came to this island to avoid war, and the locals called him Liu Gong. Huang Zu suspected that this person was related to Gongsun Du of Liaodong, because Gongsun Du had sent people across the sea to set up camps along the coast and win over
Many locals.
In addition, there is also the investigation report of the Bohai Salt Fields reported by Wang Yi, the governor of Jizhou; Xu Huang, the general of Zhennan, reduced troops in Huainan and finalized the follow-up details of the farming; the military progress in Youzhou and Runan; Shi Xie, the prefect of Jiaozhi because of the district Jingwei
Yi, Qian Bo and other rebel generals took Cangwu to cause rebellion and were unable to pay tribute to the court. They requested the emperor to send troops to open up the main road of Jingjiao as soon as possible...
"Gongsun Du has sent a letter of surrender through Zhang Liaodi. Now Youzhou has just driven away some Wuhuan. The soldiers and the people are tired and must rest first. It is not appropriate to make trouble at this time." Xu Chu will move the couch and table settings.
On a platform with no pavilion cover and only one pavilion pillar left, the emperor and Xun You sat on a simple banquet, pointed to a memorial and said: "Since it is the family affairs of the King of Beihai, let's take care of it first.
The country's lieutenant will come to investigate, and if the case is not settled in the future, it will not be too late to hand it over to the court lieutenant."
Gongsundu, the prefect of Liaodong, had been in business for many years. He conquered Gaoguli in the east and Wuwan in the west. He was so powerful that he called himself the Marquis of Liaodong and the Mu of Pingzhou. He dressed up and traveled as planned by the emperor. Because he had strong soldiers and horses and was located in a remote location, he was also in close contact with Wuhuan and others.
The tribes had close ties, and the emperor was worried about allowing Zhang Liao to rush into the expedition. So he planned to temporarily appease General Wuwei and the Marquis of Yongning. In exchange, Gongsun Du would not only stop all arrogance, but also not stop Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, and Wang Lie.
The famous people from the Central Plains who had taken refuge in Liaodong accepted the imperial conquest.
Gongsun Du was hindered by the power and military strength of the imperial court to dominate the world, and because of the letter and advice from his hometown friend, Ning Hu General Xu Rong, Gongsun Du had to swallow his anger, hid the arrogant crown and chariot in the treasury, and allowed Guan Ning and others to come of their own accord.
go.
The emperor did not include the conquest of Liaodong in his current arrangements because he needed to recharge his batteries and reorganize his internal affairs. Once the imperial court's strength was restored, let alone Liaodong, the three Han, Fuyu, and Goguryo would all be conquered at once.
After handling this matter, the emperor picked up Wang Yi's memorial and looked at it. Whether it was the Bohai salt fields or the Julu flood, Wang Yi did not rush for quick success, but implemented it in an orderly manner. The emperor read it and criticized it with a few words.
Just pay attention at all times.
However, when he saw the end of the memorial, the emperor suddenly put it down and said, "Wang Yi and the chief registrar Li Fu seem to be a little unhappy?"
Xun You knew that Wang Yi mentioned his dissatisfaction with Li Fu in his memorial. The reason was that Zhang Dao, the governor of Julu, wanted to dredge the river. He first wanted to find out the households in Julu so that he could organize the people to work to dig the river.
.However, the county was in ruins and there was no accurate register, so Director Zhang had to ask Wang Yi for help. Wang Yi knew that Li Fu was from Julu and was the chief administrator of Jizhou, so he put him in charge of the matter. If there were not enough civilians in Julu County,
So he transferred people from neighboring counties.
This was originally a good thing, but Li Fu rejected it on the grounds that "Jizhou is in ruins and a sudden major construction project is not expected by the people", and even asked to postpone the river construction project.
The conflict between them is not irreconcilable, or cannot be resolved by Wang Yi, the governor of Jizhou, but because Wang Yi offended many people in Jizhou when he was liquidating the rebellion, so he wanted to use Li Fu as a breakthrough to establish stability.
heel.
Xun You wanted to calm down the matter, and simply explained the disagreement between Wang and Yi, and then said: "This is a small local matter. If it becomes a regular rule in the future, if the local governors of prefectures and counties are not at odds with their subordinates, they will all report to the emperor."
, announcing it to the world, where is the face of the imperial court? In my opinion, it is better for your majesty to let the kings handle it on their own. Since your majesty has chosen this person to be the governor, he must have the ability to manage his subordinates well, otherwise how can we govern a large state?
?”
The emperor was persuaded by Xun You. Li Fu was pedantic at best and couldn't be said to have made any big mistakes. The most taboo thing for a superior is to be casually biased. He really didn't want to waste energy on such trivial matters. If Wang Yi was really
Those who are capable and skillful will not be easily ignored by their subordinates, nor will they give up on their own ideas because of a slight setback. At the moment, he nodded slightly, put the matter aside, and mentioned other things:
"The matter of farming has already been established. If Xu Huang wants to adapt to local conditions in Huainan, he can just go ahead and do it without having to ask for advice."
After thinking about it, the emperor added: "He is General Zhennan, and the affairs of Jiaozhou are also under his control. As for who to send to Cangwu to quell the chaos... In my opinion, I will appoint Ju Jun as General Anyuan and Wu Kuang."
In order to establish Wu Zhonglang General, the two of them will mobilize a group of soldiers and horses from Jingzhou. As for Shi Xie, after Jiaozhou is pacified, let him be recruited into the court as a Zhongsan doctor."
Xun You raised his head and glanced at the emperor, then lowered his brows: "Your Majesty, do you want to ask about moving the capital?"
