Four days later, a letter about Liu Bei's acclimatization and his death in the line of duty was rushed to Xiangyang. The document was drafted by Zhang Lin, the governor of Rinan County, and was stamped with the seal of the governor. Also attached to the document were the arrests.
Hurry up and follow up on the aftermath of the survey results.
In fact, Liu Xin got the news as early as two days ago, and it was reported through the channel of Phantom Secret Agent. I am afraid no one will know the real cause of Liu Bei's death better than Liu Xin, but he will not say
Out.
After learning that Liu Bei was dead, Liu Xin finally let go of a big stone in his heart and began to prepare to move the capital to Chang'an. In fact, it is not accurate to say "moving the capital". To be more precise, it should be said to be "fixing the capital".
.Because there are already two Han dynasties, Liu Xie and Yuan Shao supported by Cao Cao
Liu Biao, who supported Liu Biao, had his capitals in Puyang and Yecheng respectively, but Liu Xin himself did not proclaim himself emperor, nor did he control an emperor. Therefore, strictly speaking, although the area controlled by Liu Xin was wide, it even
Including Chang'an and Luoyang, there is no city that can be called the capital of the Han Dynasty.
Moving the capital is a major event. In addition to the cabinet and the six ministries, many civil and military officials and their families will also move to Chang'an. Fortunately for the civil officials, most of them live in Xiangyang. They just need to inform them and make preparations.
However, many generals are stationed in various places, and these generals are often heads of families. Naturally, they need to come back to handle the relocation in person.
It was impossible for the generals from all over the country to move back to Xiangyang at the same time, so Liu Xin formulated a plan to divide the cabinet, the six yamen and the officials' families into four batches to move to Chang'an. In this way, there would be enough time for the generals stationed in various places to take turns.
Return to Xiangyang and organize the move.
After the list of the first batch of generals returning to Xiangyang was finalized, it was quickly sent out through various post stations in an urgent manner of 800 miles. At the same time, Liu Xin also received the documents sent by Zhang Lin from Xijuan.
Rinan County's handling of Liu Bei's violent death was actually a matter of discussion between Liu Xin and Feng Lie, and had nothing to do with Zhang Lin. However, Liu Xin was in a happy mood and ordered to reward Zhang Lin and Liu Bei and promote Zhang Lin.
For Jiaozhou Biejia, he was promoted to the fourth-rank official position, and Liu Bei was also raised by half a rank and was buried according to the specifications of the fourth-rank official.
In fact, the climate in Jiaozhou is so hot that it is impossible for Liu Bei's body to be preserved for too long. Therefore, after setting the tone that the cause of Liu Bei's death was acclimatization, Zhang Lin chose a wasteland outside Xijuan City and placed Liu Bei there.
Bury him there. If a person has already been laid to rest, we can't dig him out and mess with him again, right?
Having said that, Liu Bei was alone, even if he was buried in a mass grave, no one would make any irresponsible remarks. As for his four "wives and concubines", each of them received a large and generous pension, and they would have happily returned home to remarry.
Went. Therefore, Liu Xin’s commendation order for Liu Bei has far greater symbolic meaning than practical significance.
In the past few days, the Zhou Mu Mansion has also become busy. In addition to gold and silver, there are many things in the mansion that need to be transported to Chang'an, especially the many secrets hidden in the two-story building, which need to be prepared in advance. And Liu
Xin also picked up the tools and began to repair the carriage the ladies were riding in. Especially Ma Yun and Bian Yu, who were both pregnant now, so the stability of the carriage was particularly important.
Just when Liu Xin was so busy that he was sweating profusely, the guards at the door came to report that Guan Yu asked to see him. Guan Yu had been included in the list of the first batch of generals to move to Chang'an, because he would go to the Western Regions in a short time.
, served as the commander of the Western Region Army.
In Liu Xin's view, driving a wedge between Guan Yu and Liu Bei and successfully conquering Guan Yu was the most challenging thing he had done since he came to this world, and it was also the thing he was most proud of. But the news of Liu Bei's death
It had only been a few days since the news spread, and Guan Yu should have just returned to Xiangyang today. He couldn't wait to come to see him, but Liu Xin still hesitated.
When Liu Xin came to the hall, she saw that Guan Yu's iconic red face was darker and even a little black. She couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Yun Chang, what's important?"
Guan Yu cupped his hands and said loudly: "My lord, there is something unknown at the end of the day."
Liu Xin frowned slightly and said calmly: "Well, you tell me."
Guan Yufeng opened his eyes and said: "Back to my lord, I heard that Liu Bei died because of excessive indulgence. Why did my lord announce that he died of acclimatization and still reward him? I think you are doing things unfairly!"
Liu Xin was surprised. The official cause of Liu Bei's death was only announced a few days ago, and another reason had already reached Xiangyang. The news spread so fast, although Liu Xin did not deliberately block it.
reasons, but people’s enthusiasm for spreading gossip news is also a factor that cannot be ignored.
However, when she heard Guan Yu questioning herself, Liu Xin felt relieved. She turned her head to look at Guan Yu, pointed at the chair opposite and said, "Yun Chang, please sit down first and listen to what I say slowly. Death is the most important thing.
No matter what grudges you had with him in the past, he is gone now, so just let it go."
Guan Yu reluctantly propped up half of his body on the chair, gritted his teeth, and said: "My lord, I would like to take a few days off to go to Ninan. I hope my lord will allow me."
Liu Xin said "Oh" and said, "Could it be that Yun Chang wants to pay homage to Liu Bei?"
Guan Yu jumped up from his chair and roared: "Should I pay homage to him? I can't wait to grind his bones into ashes!"
Liu Xin didn't expect Guan Yu's reaction to be so strong. She couldn't help but stand up, walked to Guan Yu, put her hands on his shoulders, pushed him back to the chair, and then said: "Yun Chang, I still said the same thing.
Then, let the past go, people always have to look forward."
Guan Yu raised his head and glanced at Liu Xin, then suddenly sighed and lowered his head.
It turned out that since Liu Xin gave Du Xiuniang to Guan Yu, Guan Yu had always hoped that Du Xiuniang would give him a son and a half daughters. When he asked Liu Xin for Du Xiuniang, he also found the reason of "having no sons."
As a result, almost two years passed in the blink of an eye, but there was no movement in Du Xiuniang's belly. On the contrary, Cao Hui gave birth to a son and a daughter for him one after another.
Ordinarily, Du Xiuniang gave birth to Qin Lang not long ago. Judging from her plump and round buttocks, she should be fertile. And Cao Hui gave birth to two children for Guan Yu one after another, which means that Guan Yu has no problem.
In desperation, Guan Yu invited the miracle doctor Hua Tuo into his home. Hua Tuo was a generation of miracle doctors who were particularly proficient in gynecology. He took a pulse and asked Du Xiuniang a few questions, and found out the whole story. It was all Liu Bei's fault for occupying her.
When Du Xiuniang was pregnant, she used many perverted methods, which affected Du Xiuniang's fertility. Although it is not impossible to cure it, it still requires a lot of energy.
After Guan Yu learned of this result, he once guarded outside Liu Bei's house for several days with a sharp knife in his arms. Unfortunately, Liu Bei stayed at home and did not give Guan Yu any chance. Later, Guan Yu was transferred to another place by Liu Xin. This time due to the relocation of the capital
Things just came back
Xiangyang, but heard the news that Liu Bei had died, and there were two different versions of the cause of Liu Bei's death. Guan Yu had no hope of revenge by himself, and was so angry that he came to see Liu Xin, hoping to ask Liu Xin to tell him the true cause of Liu Bei's death.
Make it public.
Liu Xin pondered for a long time, and then said: "Yun Chang, Liu Bei died of acclimatization, which is the conclusion reached by the local government after investigation, and it is just a rumor among the people that Liu Bei's death was due to excessive indulgence. Regarding my wife,
Liu is also very sorry, but since Mr. Hua has said that it is still possible to be cured, there is no need to worry too much. I will ask Mr. Hua to follow up on this matter at any time."
After a pause, Liu Xin changed the subject and said: "Yunchang, the Western Region is not only the barrier to the northwest of our Han Dynasty, but also an important source of wealth for the Han Dynasty. You have a great responsibility to be stationed there. You should pay more attention to this, and don't let it down.
What I expect from you."
It is actually obvious that Liu Bei died from excessive indulgence. Many people could see it clearly outside the small courtyard at that time. However, although folk legends can be said like this, the official cannot confirm it. This is not to preserve Liu Bei's reputation.
But Liu Xin has made many small moves in this matter. If it is publicized too much, it will arouse the suspicion of interested people.
Seeing that Liu Xin's words had reached this point, Guan Yu did not dare to say anything more, so he stamped his feet fiercely and said goodbye.
A few days later, the first group of people who moved to Chang'an set off. This group included research institutes, training bases, and family members of generals, more than 100,000 people, and countless vehicles. It stretched for dozens of miles and was very spectacular.
The official residences built by Liu Xin in Chang'an City were allocated according to the grades of officials. Different grades could live in different residences, but they were limited to some important officials. Not all officials could be assigned to one when entering Chang'an.
In the house, the military generals must be at the level of deputy general or above, and the civil servants must be at the level of doctor or above, all of which are senior officials of the fourth rank or above. If other personnel want to settle down in Chang'an City, they can only buy real estate with their own money.
However, Liu Xin has always been generous to his subordinates, and the salaries of officials are relatively high. Today's land and housing prices in Chang'an City are not particularly outrageous. If most officials want to purchase real estate in Chang'an City, they still have the ability.
Although the research institute and training base set out at the same time as the first batch of moving military generals, their relocation destination was not Chang'an, but the city of Yinwu, which is more than 200 miles west of Chang'an City. Not all research institutes were moved to Yiwu.
Wucheng, mainly some military-related R&D and production facilities moved there
, the research and development of civilian items still remains in Xiangyang. As for civilian products and production, they have already been transferred to several places. For example, the production of white porcelain is now mainly concentrated in Poyang County, Yuzhang County, and the production of tea and silk is mainly concentrated in Poyang County, Yuzhang County.
Concentrated in the Jiangnan area, only paper production remained in Xiangyang.
