Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Monarch and the Ministers Break Up
Where you came from and where you are going.
King Liang, where is there such a prince?
Everyone else is a county, but when it comes to Mayue, the kingdom has become a state. I don't know how many people the emperor will make people blush.
Thousands of miles of Liangzhou Road, he didn't know how many times he walked, but this time made him feel the most sad from the heart.
He thought that he and the Liu Association were reminiscing about the past and working together, but he didn't want to end up like this.
Opposite to Ma Yue, it was a cadre of generals and Wenchen cheering, and along the way, the Liangzhou armored army sang war songs and was beaming, as if it was the New Year. The last time he walked this road, Ma Yue's heart was full of joy, and he was ecstatic to get the position of Liangzhou pastor.
But this time, he kept a calm face all the way.
Although, the original battle was won, and the most powerful Yuan clan in the world was uprooted by him.
A few years later, if the Ma clan is not wiped out in the war, the Han family will pass out a sentence that is like the legacy of the ancestor and become the ancestral motto - the descendants of the Ma family are not allowed to enter the customs!
This sentence is like a boulder pressing on Ma Yue's heart, and it can't be easy.
Ma Yue returned to Liangzhou with his wife and children, appointed Cheng Li as the minister of state, and refused to meet anyone behind closed doors, even if he was a general, it was difficult to see him.
Like a wounded beast, he returned to his safe cave and secretly licked the wounds on his body.
He shouldn't go to Luoyang, he felt that he shouldn't go to Luoyang.
The candidate died, and Liangzhou lost a brave and warlike general. Matthew is dead, his brother has no son-in-law, and the clan has one less child...... How good Liangzhou is, why did he go to Luoyang, see that the monarch and the minister broke up, and went all the way to the sea of corpses and bones.
Ma Yue believed that Ma You's reins had made the entire Liangzhou turbulent, and the King of Liang in their hearts should not be like this.
No matter what happens in Liangzhou, the world is still running as usual.
After Ma Yue left the court, the imperial court appointed Yanzhou Mu Cao Mengde to lead the three companies as apprentices, which was the youngest third duke in the imperial court. Liu Chong, the king of Chen, also received the post of Jiuqing in Luoyang, and Liu Bei, although he was not appointed by Ma Yue as the Taishou of Nanyang, was also appointed by Cao Cao to the same official position.
Several councillors in the court constantly criticized Ma Yue in the court, saying that this time His Majesty gave Ma Yue a feud is just another time to let the tiger return to the mountain, if Ma Yue was besieged by the northern army camp and then detained and killed, there will be no today's Ma disaster, and in the end it is the emperor himself who suffers. Liu Xie propped his arms on the dragon chair and did not speak, but asked the ministers to intensify their efforts. But Liu Xie didn't speak all the time, he was just thinking that if he pulled out his sword that day...... Are they satisfied?
Cao Cao didn't speak with a calm face, in fact, he felt angry at both sides in his heart, these guys actually dared to criticize Ma Yue, why didn't Ma Yue point it out when he was in court? It's nothing more than bullying the emperor's youth. And the emperor made Cao Cao angry when he was crowned king of Liangguo, Liangzhou is an uncontrollable place, Ma Yue's prestige has been too strong over the years, and the land that gave birth to the vicious has only recognized Ma Yue and does not know the Han family, can Liangzhou be recovered at this time? Therefore, he deliberately did not speak, wanting to see how the emperor would end up in the face of this situation.
As a result, what made him extremely unimagined was that Liu Xie finally couldn't bear it anymore, slapped the dragon chair and shouted: "Where is the tiger Ben left and right, this person roared and saw no monarch in the court, and dragged him down to the south of the city to show the public!" ”
On this day, the courtiers finally remembered the fact that they had ignored for a long time, that this emperor had ascended to the throne in the arms of Ma Yue...... The ascension of the new emperor to the throne was a dark time for the courtiers, and it was the fear of these Central Plains courtier warriors being dominated by the Liangzhou people
Sun Wentai's offensive was ferocious, after the death of Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, his second son barely stabilized the situation with the help of the Jingzhou family, but it was difficult to stop Sun Jian's ambition to advance all the way north to occupy the entire territory of Jingzhou, and Nanyang at this time was the top priority. At this time, Liu Xuande embarked on the road to Nanyang...... The orthodox two-thousand-stone official position of the imperial court, this is Liu Bei's highest official position.
It is imperative to stop Sun Jian!
Liu Bei is full of confidence in his own blocking Sun, but Han Fu has no clue about blocking Gongsun Zhan, although he can still maintain the situation in the bloody battle of Jizhou's famous general Liyi, but Gongsun Zhan's troops are getting stronger and stronger, but the Jizhou army is getting weaker and weaker, if the imperial court has no reinforcements...... Jizhou is afraid that it will all fall into the hands of Gongsun Zhan.
Further north, it's even more chaotic. Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Du finally made up his mind to rebel when the Central Plains was in turmoil, divided Liaodong into two counties of Liaoxi and Central Liao, and called himself Liaodong Marquis and Pingzhou Mu. Fight warships, cross the sea to take the lands of Donglai, and set up private camps. Taking advantage of the fact that Gongsun Zan fought with Jizhou to raise soldiers and horses, he set up a museum to recruit talents, attacked Goguryeo in the east, attacked Wuhuan in the west, took the Liaodong Peninsula in the south, and dominated the northeast.
For a while, people who knew what Gongsun Du did compared it to Ma Yue. It is called the grandson of the northeast and the northwest of Ma Yue.
Of course, when it comes to Ma Yue, most people have a bad reputation, but when it comes to Gongsun Du, it is mostly shameful. What's more, Gongsun Chan is not as good as Ma Yue's exploits at all, he only has Ma Yue's ambition, but he does not have Ma Yue's loyalty and military exploits, maybe Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chan together can be compared with Ma Yue.
Since King Qin witnessed Yuan Shu's death in the Mayue array in the first battle, the five thousand majestic soldiers could only let out an unwilling roar under the charge of the Liangzhou iron cavalry, and the strong enemy was attacked by more powerful soldiers and horses to the ground. The scene of Nanyang sergeant wailing under the iron hooves often appeared in Liu Yan's dreams, and the ambitious Yizhou Mu no longer had the idea of going out of Yizhou, and ordered Zhang Lu to garrison Hanzhong, and ordered Zhang Ren to lead the elite soldiers to garrison the six roads of Qinchuan, always guarding against the attack of the Liangzhou army, and there was no thought of leaving the pass.
……
In the blink of an eye, it is winter again, and there is no heavy snow in Liangzhou this year, but the weather is still the same cold, and the reeds on the horse beach are frozen.
"Zhongde, you ...... Don't you plan to persuade King Liang? "Liang Guo Prime Minister's Mansion, Jia Xu and Cheng Li sat opposite each other, "It's not a way to go on like this." ”
Since Cheng Li was appointed as the prime minister of Liangguo, all the officials of Liangguo have been appointed and dismissed by these two people, and even the officials of Sanfu are also general...... Although the territory of Liangguo should be the entire territory of Liangzhou, in fact, it also includes all the land of Sanfu and part of the taxes paid by the state.
Dong Zhuo, the pastor of the state, also paid taxes to Liangguo...... Compared with the ostrich spirit that Ma Yue showed in the face of the emperor's distrust, Dong Zhuo, the old fat man, was much more single.
In the twentieth month of Ma Yue's return to Liang, a group of Bingzhou with Huaxiong as the governor, controlled Li Wei's 5,000 soldiers and horses and Liu Bao, the commander of 10,000 cavalry under the command of Liu Bao, the Southern Huns, rode to Sanfu and participated in the defense of Tongguan with Dong Zhuo's handwritten letter.
Dong Zhuo said that since the emperor did not ask Ma Sanlang to enter the customs, he would not enter.
Along with this, the entire Kansai Yiqi was introduced.
Bingzhou, Liangzhou, Sanfu...... All counties, lower the Han flag.
Under the banner of Liangguo with red letters on a black background, there is an army of 30,000 people who are strictly guarded by Tongguan.
Everyone decided for Ma Yue, the fate of Liangguo.
"The old man doesn't care about these things, besides, Cheng doesn't think that King Liang has done anything wrong." Cheng Li waved his hand, not wanting to say too much to Jia Xu on this topic, "It's that the Han treats the general too thinly, not that the general is unjust to the Han...... Now that the Liang Kingdom has just been established, no matter what the monarch is, you and I should do our part, and if the Liang King wants to come out, he will naturally come out. ”
"......Huh" Jia Xu took a deep breath by Cheng Li's anger, got up and walked around the mansion twice, and then said to Cheng Li: "Yes, I understand that King Liang has not done anything wrong, but this is not the King of Liang in the hearts of Liangzhou people!" Zhongde, you are not from Liangzhou, maybe you don't understand this feeling...... Liangzhou is too eager for a monarch like the former King of Liang. The Central Plains did not accept us, and before the appearance of King Liang, the people of Liangzhou could only be conscripted again and again to fight one war after another that did not belong to us...... The men fought to the death and were deducted from the military pay by the Central Plains officers, and the women could only put down the loom and pick up the hoe. ”
"Liangren doesn't know how long he has been waiting for you, invincible, invincible, although he will also fail, although we have lost both times, but this is the first time that our Liangzhou people have admitted defeat morally, not that we really can't beat them...... The Liangzhou armored army can defeat all the heroes in the world! Jia Xu sighed, thinking that the king of Liang was either teasing his son in the mansion or drinking alone until dusk, and the voice of singing in the mansion sounded countless times in the middle of the night, shaking his head and saying: "In the past, the people of Liangzhou were good at fighting, but they were most afraid of war, because every war happened in our hometown, and we had to fight!" The people of Liangzhou do not rely on the Han Dynasty to survive, but the barren land under their feet, if the rebels win, we will not even have land. ”
"It's different now, the king has quelled the war in Liangzhou, God knows what King Liang did, even the generals like Han Wenyue are now obedient, and even the army of Jincheng has withdrawn, and he is still in Jincheng safely. The current Liang Kingdom looks as stable as Mount Tai, but in fact, it is completely united by the personal prestige of King Liang, do you think that the people are relying on the emperor's edict? I don't dare to guarantee others, but Dong Zhuo doesn't recognize the edict, if it weren't for King Liang, I'm afraid that he would be the king in Bingzhou. King Liang will not come out again...... Zhongde, let me ask you, if Dong Zhuo rebels, can you and I stop it? ”
Cheng Li was stopped by Jia Xu, and said with a stalk around his neck: "What if you can't stop it, King Liang will naturally come out at that time." ”
"Come out? You said it easily, even if it comes out, if the state army hits Hanyang, it means that the gods can't save the situation, do you think King Liang can stop it with a shout? People's ambitions are endless, and only by letting King Liang suppress Dong Zhuo forever can he be suppressed. Jia Xu said predictively: "Once people's ambitions come to the fore, they will no longer be able to recover." ”
"Without further ado, come with me to persuade King Liang, this is not a rebellion, it is an edict drafted by the emperor himself that the Ma family is not allowed to enter the customs...... The emperor still has a voice-over. When Jia Xu mentioned this, he suddenly smiled and said: "If you don't enter the customs, then you won't enter...... What if we take down the whole world outside of Guanzhong? ”
The whole world? The whole world outside of Guanzhong?
Cheng Li's eyes also lit up.
