Chapter 707: Pacification and Stability
In fact, it doesn't matter if Sun Quan is called emperor or not.
Because as long as you have a little political common sense, your heart is like a mirror: Sun Quan will be the emperor sooner or later.
Some things in the world cannot be done, and some cannot be done.
Just like Sun Quan is called the emperor, although everyone knows it in their hearts, no one will say it clearly.
Because for the Han Dynasty, the most important thing is: if Sun Quan is really the emperor, then how will the Han deal with himself?
If admitted, it would be a political disaster for the self-proclaimed orthodox Han who held high the slogan of rejuvenating the Han with thieves.
If he didn't admit it, the Han would have lost his most important ally, and he would have to face the powerful Cao thief alone, not to mention, and bear the pressure from the east at any time.
"If Guanzhong is in the hands of the Han at this time, why do I need to look at Wu Guo's face?"
Zhuge Liang, who knew that Sun Quan's title to emperor was a foregone conclusion, sighed a little weakly, and he finally felt a little tired at this time, who was burdened by the whole country.
He could almost imagine what kind of waves would be set off in the Han when the news of Sun Quan's proclamation as emperor reached the Han Dynasty.
Zhuge Qiao saw the appearance of an adult who had never been shown in front of outsiders, and felt the helplessness and tiredness of the adult.
Looking at the adult whose beard had begun to turn gray, Zhuge Qiao inexplicably had a thought: My lord, I may be really tired.
"My lord, since the matter is irreparable, why don't you ask the opinions of others in the court and respond in advance?"
Zhuge Qiao said in a low voice.
"Who would dare to risk such a big disapproval and approve of the two emperors after Sun Quan became emperor?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Even everyone knows that it is still a good way to join forces with Soochow to fight Cao, but at this time, who dares to stand up?
Political correctness is often more important than the correctness of the line.
"There will always be wise people, when the emperor died, isn't it also ......"
Zhuge Qiao said a word, and then paused again.
When it came to restoring the Han-Wu Alliance, who opened the mouth?
Thinking of Feng Yong, who called his brother, Zhuge Qiao felt that he was a little reckless. No one can sell their own brothers!
I was seriously ill last year, and if it wasn't for my brother's rescue, I might not have been able to survive that hurdle.
In addition, Ah Di is now the son-in-law of the Guan family, and if he is not careful, he is afraid that the tiger girl will be powerful, and the inner courtyard of the Feng family will be restless.
Well, forget it, forget it, it's better not to mention it, it's better not to mention it.
"This time and that time."
Although Zhuge Qiao only said half of it, Zhuge Liang still knew what he was going to say.
"When the first emperor was in Yong'an, he had the intention of restoring the alliance with Wu, and at that time, Han and Wu had already sent envoys to each other several times."
"It was only later that the first emperor collapsed halfway, and Sun Quan was suspicious because of His Majesty's weakness, so the matter was delayed."
"Even if Feng Yong doesn't open his mouth to mention this matter, someone will mention it, and everyone in the DPRK and China understands this truth."
"Therefore, at that time, the resistance to resuming the Han-Wu alliance was not too big, but at this time it was very different from that time."
Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang paused for a moment, and then continued, "At this time, Feng Yong's identity is different from the past, so it's better not to let him participate in such things." ”
Zhuge Qiao heard it and hurriedly said yes.
There is even a trace of unhappiness in my heart: I have never enjoyed such a loving heart of adults!
Zhuge Liang naturally didn't know what Zhuge Liang Qiao was thinking, he continued: "Even if you can't escape in the end, you have to wait until the matter is clear before you participate." ”
Otherwise, Zhao Guang is a lesson from the past. Hmm, Zhao Guang, ah......"
Zhuge Liang said as he spoke, his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.
Zhuge Qiao didn't dare to interrupt the adult's words, and sat there listening with bated breath.
It's just that Zhuge Liang seems to have fallen into deep thought all of a sudden.
After a long time, Zhuge Liang came back to his senses, but suddenly commanded Zhuge Qiao, "Okay, you go out first, go and help me find Li Yi." ”
The seventh year of the Han Dynasty, the eighth year of the Eastern Wu Huangwu, and the third year of Cao Wei Taihe, this is a year destined to be unpeaceful.
The Han court seems to be calm, but the situation is treacherous, and the struggle between the two auxiliary ministers left by the first emperor Liu Bei has entered a white heat.
Eastern Wu is a big momentum, and there are many courtiers who offer concerts, saying that many places are auspicious, which is preparing for King Wu to be called emperor.
And Cao Wei, after suffering a great defeat on the east and west lines, Emperor Wei first issued an edict against himself, and then tried his best to pacify the country.
It's just that the house leak happened to rain overnight.
Last year, Cao Wei not only suffered a crushing defeat in front of Shu Wu, but even the Hu people in the north were ready to move.
Tian Yu, the captain of the Karasuma school, sent the translator Xia She to the tribe of Yu Zhu Gejian, the son-in-law of Kebineng, but was killed by Yu Zhu Gejian.
Tian Yu was not angry with the humiliation of the Hu people, and repeatedly wrote to send troops to crusade against Yu Zhu.
However, at that time, Cao Wei was trying his best to deal with Shu and Wu, and the next two defeats were greatly damaged.
forced the Wei Emperor Cao Rui at that time to order the frontier guards not to start the war lightly.
What's more important is the loss of Longyou, which makes Wei Guo like a thorn in his back, because Guanzhong is always under the peep of the opposite side.
In addition, Liangzhou was cut off from the interior and would fall into the hands of Shu at any time, so Cao Wei's focus strategy had shifted from the southeast to the northwest.
Not to mention the Youzhou area, it is the Yangzhou area, and it is currently shrinking the defense with all its might.
Only the place where the middle is concerned is the place where the troops are used.
However, Xian Yufu, an auxiliary general who is known as a prestige in the eyes of the Hu people in Youzhou, was transferred to Guanzhong, and he also brought a lot of troops.
This greatly reduced the pressure on Kebineng, who had been suppressed by Tian Yu, and constantly provoked the border land and plundered the Wei land.
Tian Yu's words in the book became more and more intense: Great Wei for Han is the destiny of heaven. During the Han Dynasty, all the Hu people surrendered. The Great Wei Dynasty is in great prosperity, but allows the Hu people to slaughter the people, isn't it the heart of the people in the north?
Emperor Cao Rui of Wei suffered the anger of Shu Wu outside, and had to compromise with the family inside.
Now that he sees that Hu Ren has also bullied him, his heart is full of fire at the moment.
Sending officials to supervise the Hu tribe was a rule left by Emperor Wu.
If this matter is not pursued, then the five Xiongnu and Hu of Bingzhou, which are adjacent to Youzhou, followed suit and killed the officials placed by the Great Wei, so what should be done?
So Cao Rui ordered Tian Yu that if there was an attack by the Hu people, he could try his best to attack it.
However, he finally left a little sobriety, so that Tian Yu could not go out of the side.
Tian Yu got the order of the Son of Heaven, so he ordered the western Xianbei Putou and the Xigui mud out of the Wei territory to go out of the fortress, and hit the Yu Zhu Reform and Construction Department.
At the same time, he led the Wei army to ambush on the border.
Yu Zhuge built a battle with the support of Xianbei Lord Kebineng, so he chased Putou and discharged back to the mud to the territory of Wei, and Tian Yu broke it.
Kebi was furious when he learned about it, and personally led 30,000 fine horsemen to attack Macheng in Youzhou Daijun.
Fortunately, Tian Yu had been prepared, knowing that he could not be defeated by a small number of soldiers, so he retreated south to control the water.
When the water was in the spring flood, the water surface soared, and Kebineng could not cross the river, so he turned to lead the army to Shanggu County, a side county of Dai County, and wanted to plunder Guangning County.
Yan Zhi, the Taishou of Shanggu County, is Yan Rou's younger brother.
Yan Rou was captured by the Hu people since he was a child, and later became close and trusted by the Hu people, and the Hu people even repeatedly sent troops to help Yan Rou.
Although Yan Rou is now dead, his younger brother Yan Zhi also has the trust of the Xianbei people.
After he learned the news, he was taken aback, hurried overnight, and finally rushed to Guangning County before Kebineng's troops came to Guangning County, and personally entered the Hu camp to persuade Kebineng.
Kebi was able to see Yan Zhi, so he reluctantly agreed to retire.
However, he angrily reprimanded Tian Yu for sowing discord among the Xianbei tribes over the years and causing the tribes to kill each other.
At the same time, he also wrote a letter to Emperor Wei:
"Yi Di can't read, but he also knows how to count etiquette. The late school captain Yan Rou once protected me from the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven also named me the King of Attached Righteousness.
When the Wei State was first established, I moved nearly 2,000 Wei people back to the Wei realm several times, and repeatedly offered good horses to show my submission.
When I heard that there was a shortage of horses in the Central Plains, I personally led thousands of people to drive more than 70,000 cattle and horses to trade with the Central Plains.
How do you know that Tian Yuqi is vicious by nature, and he has killed countless of my clansmen, and let all the tribes of the grassland kill each other. Although we are backward and do not know etiquette and righteousness, we accept the seal of the Son of Heaven.
Tian Yu wants to force against Yidi, and I can't wait for death, not to mention that I still have the hearts of all the tribes in the grassland. ”
Yan Zhi solemnly agreed, Kebineng would definitely present the letter to the Son of Heaven.
After Xianbei left the fortress, Yan Zhi kept his promise and sent someone to send the letter to Luoyang.
There are four people who can't get around the matter of Youzhou.
One is Xian Yufu, the other is Tian Yu, and the remaining two are the Yan brothers.
When Tian Yu was young, he took refuge in Liu Bei, but returned home because of his mother's old age, and was later appointed by Gongsun Zan as the commander of Dongzhou County.
Xian Yufu is engaged in Liu Yu's subordinates.
Liu Yu advocates being gentle with the Hu people, while Gongsun Zhan likes to brush up on the experience of the Hu people.
The two disagreed, and gradually clashed, and finally Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zhan.
Xian Yufu and his brother Xian Yu avenged Liu Yu with the remnants of the silver collar, and the leader of the Hu people led more than 7,000 cavalry to follow.
Yan Rou was elected as Wuhuan Sima because of his high prestige, and summoned tens of thousands of Hu people and Han people to attack Gongsun Zan from the other side.
At the same time, Yuan Shao in the south attacked each other with Gongsun Zan all the year round.
Gongsun Chan was attacked on three sides, was repeatedly defeated, and finally committed suicide.
Although Xian Yufu and Tian Yu belonged to the hostile camp, they became close friends later.
After the defeat of Gongsun Zhan, although the land of Youzhou was under the name of Yuan Shao, the most influential ones were Xian Yufu and Yan Rou.
Xian Yufu was elected by the people to do things that were too guarded, and he appointed his friend Tian Yu as the long history.
At that time, the heroes rose together, Xian Yufu didn't know who to follow, Tian Yu persuaded him to submit to Cao Cao, and asserted that the one who pacified the world must be Cao Cao, and Xian Yufu followed his words.
Later, when the Battle of Guandu broke out, Xian Yufu personally went to the front line from Youzhou to meet Cao Cao, and at the same time, Yan Rou also sent an envoy to meet Cao Cao.
After Cao Cao unified Hebei, he reused both of them.
Tian Yujiu followed Gongsun Zhan, and his attitude towards the Hu people was the same as that of Gongsun Zhan, that is, kill, kill, kill!
Xian Yufu is neutral, attacking those who disobey the Han Dynasty and appeasing those who are obedient, so he can get the support of some Hu people, but at the same time he is hostile to some Hu people.
As for the Yan brothers, they are strongly appeased and have won the trust of the Hu people.
Even though Kebineng is now the most powerful force in Xianbei, not only has he been deeply served by the people of the tribe, but the other Hu leaders are also in awe of him.
But as soon as Yan Zhi came forward, he also had to listen, which showed the influence of the Yan brothers on the Hu people.
Now Yan Rou is dead, and Xian Yufu has been transferred to Guanzhong.
Because Tian Yu and Yan Zhi advocated two extremes, the opposition of opinions suddenly became sharp.
Although Tian Yu defeated Yu Zhu's troops this time, he also angered Kebineng to lead a large army to come, so that Youzhou suffered from the war.
Yan Zhizi would not let go of this opportunity, he wrote this matter into a concert and sent it to Luoyang urgently.
Cao Rui was already overwhelmed by the two defeats, and after getting the news of the victory in the north, he was very happy, thinking that he could show his martial arts.
At the same time, it was sent back to Luoyang, and there was also a letter from Kebineng.
After Cao Rui read the letter, which was half threatening and half persuasive, he was furious.
He is now young and vigorous, and he is a noble son of heaven, how can he be threatened by the Hu people?
It's just that the southeast and northwest are two places that are a greater threat than the Hu people, so he has to forcibly suppress his emotions.
He first publicized the Youzhou Dapo Hu people to boost the morale of the officials, and at the same time concealed the letter from Kebineng.
However, the matter is not over.
At this time, the history of Youzhou Assassin was called Wang Xiong, and it was the same as Yan Zhi, who advocated appeasing the Hu people.
It's just that since Tian Yu was appointed as the captain of the Karasuma Guard, he was worried that the Hu people would merge with each other, which would gradually unify the Hu people into a large tribe and cause greater harm.
So he subdued the annexors and forced the powerful tribes to disperse. Anyone who dared to give advice to the Hu people tried their best to sow discord between them.
Wang Xiong and Tian Yu have always had different political views, and when they got the opportunity, their henchmen took the opportunity to slander Tian Yu for disturbing the border and causing trouble for the country.
At the same time, Wang Xiong pointed out that the biggest hidden danger of Wei at this time was Shu and Wu, not the Hu people in the north. Therefore, at this time, the Hu people should not be provoked and let them be troubled by the border.
Cao Rui was secretly relieved when he got the recital of Wang Xiong, the assassin of Youzhou, and at the same time, Wang Xiong's point of view was very much in his heart.
After considering the overall situation, Cao Rui took advantage of Tian Yu's big break with the Hu people, transferred him to Runan Taishou, and added him to the rank of General Yiyi.
Because in this way, it can be regarded as temporarily appeasing Kebineng.
There were twists and turns, but in the end, all parties had gains.
Even Tian Yu, who lost the captain of the Karasuma school, although he was transferred out of Youzhou, he was also promoted.
I have to say that Cao Rui's hand is really beautiful.
In the winter of last year, the Great Wei first re-pacified most of the stable area, and at the same time recaptured the Yueshi City from the Shu people.
Now coupled with Tian Yu's big break Hu people, a lot of people have been captured.
This kind of small victory was nothing before, but for Cao Wei, who was in the doldrums at this time, it was like an injection of strengthening.
Cao Rui showed his martial arts and began to order the major repair of the temple in Luoyang to welcome the four gods of Emperor Cao Jiagao, Emperor Tai, Emperor Wu, and Emperor Wen in Yecheng.
At the same time, he also issued an edict when worshipping the temple:
"The ancient rites stipulate that when the queen has no sons, when selecting a concubine to inherit the great clan, she should inherit orthodoxy and serve justice, how can she take into account personal affection?
Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne of Emperor Zhao and added the title of biological father; Emperor Wai ascended the throne as the monarch of the feudal state, and Dong Hong and others even cited the destroyed Qin State as an example to confuse the imperial court at that time, and called his biological father Emperor Gong.
built a sacrificial temple in the capital, and favored the concubines of the vassal state, so that she was comparable to the empress dowager of Changxin Palace.
In the front hall of the imperial court, the relatives are distant and close, and the harem is set up at the same time with four queen mothers, beyond their status, without moderation, and people and gods are not blessed, rather than difficult to blame the loyal and formal persuasion of Shi Dan......"
The edict enumerates all kinds of actions of the Han Dynasty as violations of etiquette and law, emphasizing orthodoxy.
And authorize the state to kill those ministers who are not forgiven.
Cao Rui not only announced this edict to the world, but also wrote the contents into a golden book, hidden in the temple, and recorded in the national code.
This move strengthened Cao Wei's orthodoxy.
