Chapter 551: Victory and Defeat
When it rains in Nanshan, Yecheng has a clear sky.
On the Tongque Terrace, Cao Pi was lying lazily on the wide Taishi chair, he was basking in the sun, his expression was comfortable, and his mind was peaceful.
The new chair is the first popular and promoted industry in Nanyang, and the large-scale promotion of chairs has affected the construction of houses and the production of straw mats.
But for decent households, there are always some houses with semi-suspended wooden floors in the courtyard of the home, which are used to prevent moisture and are also easy to clean.
Laying straw mats and bamboo mats to decorate the house is an inevitable life, just like the building should be covered with floor tiles.
With the promotion of chairs, many ordinary people do not have to sit on the cold, damp ground and do not have to press their legs...... This is a great help for good health.
At this moment, Cao Pi is standing on the left and right of the incense burner, no matter how the wind direction changes, there will be a faint incense around the chair.
It's like the current situation in the world, and he is already in an invincible position.
No matter what Wu Zhen did in the battle of Guanzhong, Great Wei won.
I can't imagine what will happen if Wu Zhen wins the defensive battle in Guanzhong, maybe Wu Zhen himself didn't think about this problem.
There is no such thing as a draw in the battle of Guanzhong, only victory and defeat, and for the two sides involved in the war, whoever gets Guanzhong wins.
But for the Great Wei and the Great Han, the victory or defeat of this war had been decided from the time it broke out, and the Great Wei won!
Wu Zhen provoked the war with bloody and brutal means, and successfully disintegrated the possibility of continued cooperation between the Northern Mansion and the Han Dynasty.
Even if the Beifu and the Han court continued to cooperate in the future, it would only be a joint rule over a vast area, and the military, economic, and technological cooperation would come to a standstill.
Guan Yu is still there, and there will be no civil war...... But what about after Guan Yu?
Thinking about some scenes that he might see in the future, the corners of Cao Pi's mouth curled, and the sun fell on his face warmly, as if the light points were integrated into the skin and flesh, repairing and strengthening the body, and there was a faint sense of comfort in practicing and absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, and this illusion also brought a sense of satisfaction and security.
It's as if everything is under control, and it's very comfortable.
Under the bronze finch stage, Queen Guo came here by chariot, and she covered her face with a white veil...... This kind of beauty custom of covering the face with plain veil to prevent tanning has spread to Luoyang, and from Luoyang to Yedu.
Lifting up the stairs, Queen Guo bumped slightly up and down.
No eunuch dared to disturb Cao Pi's peaceful enjoyment at the moment, no one dared to sing and report, and if he didn't report, he couldn't get Cao Pi's permission, so the other attendants were waiting on the periphery and couldn't get close.
Queen Guo stepped forward on her own, her footsteps were rustling, Cao Pi raised her head and half opened her eyes to confirm that it was her, and then lay down again a little disappointed: "What is the matter?" ”
"It was the queen mother who sent her concubine here, and it was reported that Uncle Zilian died of illness."
"I knew about it, I knew it last night."
Cao Pi was lazy: "Uncle Zilian is stingy and doesn't want to suffer a loss, but he doesn't want Liu Asheng to die in battle, such a big loss, how can he swallow his anger?" But he was old again and could not afford revenge, so he was depressed and resentful. Originally, the Han family Sanxing was hopeful, and this season he sacrificed himself for the country and forced Beifu to attack Guanzhong. ”
After a slight pause, Cao Pi felt a little sad: "Now the Han family is hopeless, and my uncle has lost everything in this big gamble." Beifu also has the "Household Separation Law", and the family business that my uncle has accumulated in half of his life will also be dissolved. All kinds of calculations are empty in the end, and they are laughing at others, how can my uncle live long? ”
"I thought Your Majesty didn't know, the Queen Mother wanted to send someone to mourn, who did Your Majesty think could be a messenger?"
"It's up to my mother to decide, and I think Yuan Ming is worthy of this trip in the clan."
Cao Pi was reluctant to get up and move, and said: "Zijian wants to be loyal to the Han family, and Wen Lie has an old relationship with Tian Xiaoxian, and he reported to Yuan Ming, so that he warned Zijian and Wen Lie when he mourned. ”
When Queen Guo bowed her body to give a salute, she heard Cao Pi suddenly say: "I am not suitable to say some words to the queen mother, the queen mother loves Ah Fang, which is not a good thing for Ah Fang." I thought that when Feng Afang became the king of Qin, it would be wonderful to be in the middle of the domain. In my opinion, this is also a blessing for Ah Fang. ”
"Yes, the concubine explained it to the queen mother in detail to avoid the queen mother's unhappiness."
Queen Guo was deeply moved, took three steps back, and then turned to leave, sat on the lift, and left the Tongque Platform along the steps.
Cao Zhang's family went on an expedition, and he didn't know that he would have a grandson when he died, so he didn't leave a last word related to his grandson's name.
The Empress Dowager Bian felt sorry for this great-grandson and expected him to follow Cao Zhang's example to be a square and upright person, so she named her Ah Fang; Cao Pi didn't like this name, so he forcibly named it directly on the genealogy, and called it Cao Fang.
added a cursive prefix, taking the meaning of Lan Fang's morality, and advising this nephew to develop in morality, cultivation, and culture in the future, not to participate in any justice, black and white, right and wrong, and just live well.
As the price of forcibly changing his name, the one-and-a-half-year-old Cao Fang has already been awarded the title of Duke of Qin, and the sons of Cao Pi are currently marquises except for the king of Cao Rong's plains.
The title of a Duke of Qin is to make up for Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, and a concession to the Queen Mother.
After Queen Guo left, Cao Pi lay down for a while, his peaceful mood had been destroyed, and it was difficult to calm down his mind anymore, and he shouted angrily: "Pass." ”
The eunuchs sang and sang loudly at all levels, and some important ministers of Menxia Province, Secretary Province, and Shangshu Province, who had been waiting for a long time, came with a group of trains holding the songs.
There are too many things, and Cao Pi must nod his head, and the three provinces can complete the most important issuance work.
Because of the protracted drought in the border area, it is very likely that a war will break out in Youzhou this year.
Abandoning Luoyang and returning to Hebei with the Chinese army has the intention of concentrating forces to fight the Youzhou War.
The important ministers of the three provinces don't understand the meaning of Wu Qianjin's 'double stirrups', and if they don't fight this year, the Youzhou border army will also fight out next year.
plunder more people and livestock, reduce border defense pressure, and increase one's own war potential and animal resources; Even regular taxes such as cattle, sheep, and horses can be collected, and knights can be levied in the same way as the subject country.
Absorb the war resources of the entire border tribe, and then defeat and interfere with the recuperation of the four Kwantung states with absolute cavalry superiority. The longer you delay, the greater your advantage.
Therefore, the Wei court swept away the haze, and everyone could straighten their waists and speak, full of enthusiasm and hope for the future.
In the face of a huge existential crisis, hope is not far away.
At this moment, the Great Wei court can be described as a harmonious monarch and minister, and everyone is united...... Except for Cao Pi's occasional interest, he will temporarily put aside government affairs.
There is no need for Cao Pi to review and approve the recital, many things need to be watched by him, and the important ministers of the three provinces will discuss it in person, and after taking out the decision, it will be implemented.
When there is a dispute in the discussion, Cao Pi's role is to quickly cut through the mess and choose one; so as not to delay the implementation of government affairs.
This atmosphere has made the important ministers of the three provinces very satisfied...... It would be even more wonderful if the Chen State system could be introduced, and the monarchs and ministers would all sit on their chairs and talk about it.
As for Chen Guolingnan, the three important ministers left Tian Xin to run alone...... If you can't think about it, just think about it quietly, there is no need to talk about such deviant things with others.
and Tian Xin's authoritarian power to grant Lu Yi is even more enviable.
In the end, Tian Xin achieved the name of Lu Yi Daxian, or did Lu Yi achieve the name of Tian Xin Xianjun?
This is something that complements each other and cannot be expected.
Although the Great Wei had the imperial twin powers, the governor of Wu Qian, Yongliang, and the governor of Sima Yi, the military of Hebei, in fact, there were geographical and situational factors, rather than the emperor's real delegation of power.
However, in general, the outbreak of the Battle of Guanzhong, the Great Wei monarchs and ministers were in a state of innovation and excitement in one fell swoop.
Even the steps of Tongque Terrace are more and more energetic.
