Chapter Twenty-Six: If the sky is lovely, the sky will be old
In mid-May, when the Sun Quan clan rushed to Yingchuan with a relieved attitude, the 'family' of the Son of Heaven had already arrived in the old capital of Luoyang, while at the same time, Jiaozhou Shepherd Xie and the returning Grand Sima and Metropolitan Governor Lu Fan had just arrived in Nanyang.
Fifteen years of wind and dust, seeing that the dust is about to settle.
However, there is no such expectation here in Luoyang, on the contrary, the ministers of Ye Xia showed great resistance to the sudden migration, so that they hesitated and procrastinated, and even many people went directly to Yan Gong, saying how Ye Xia was, and there was a bit of noise...... In this regard, Sun Xun, the grandfather of Yan, showed great tolerance and indifference, neither refuted nor dealt with it, nor did he have the intention of changing his course at all.
In fact, the ministers of Yexia, who have no room for resistance, also understand in their hearts that Yexia is located in Hebei, and for the whole world, it is still a little biased.
It's just that the high-level officials in the Yexia group, and even the middle-level core officials, people from Hebei still have an absolute advantage, plus Yexia has been built in an orderly manner in recent years, the economy is developed, the market is prosperous, and everyone there has assets, so it can't help but be a little unhappy.
As for the true meaning of this move, it is just to remind Gongsun Xun that don't forget that they sacrificed for the sake of Yan State, and when Yan Justice is destined and everyone is promoted together, they need to take care of the people from Hebei.
With such a gratuitous thing, it's no wonder that Gongsun Xun didn't bother to pay attention to it.
However, a practical problem is that Luoyang and the original Henan region, there is still half of Hongnong relocated by Dong Zhuo, and the Tuntian and Juntian systems inevitably restrain the pace of the people from the side, and the former Han capital is blank at this time, which inevitably makes people feel related.
In fact, on the afternoon of this day, on the three-story attic in the pavilion of the eastern capital of the city, Liu Xie, who finally returned to Luoyang and overlooked the outline of the old capital again, could not help but feel sad at this time...... It is said that things are people, but for this person, now not only people are wrong, but even things are not what they used to be, and even the whole city and the whole world have to change their owners, can it not hurt?
"Your Majesty, is this Luoyang?" Dong Guiren carefully passed by the side of the two armor soldiers, and stepped forward to grab her husband's arm. "The city is huge, and the trim is clean, but why is it so desolate, and it is not as good as Chang'an?"
"Because no one ......," the little genius became more and more gloomy. I still remember that when I was six or seven years old, my brother secretly came to see me, and we climbed up to the corner tower of the North Palace together...... Today, the outline of the city wall is still in style, the division is still so neat, and even the new buildings and mansions are taller and neater than in the past, but how can no one have the weather of the capital? β
Dong Guiren traveled all the way, and when he saw that the escort soldiers along the way were still polite, and he was young, he couldn't help but be a lot bolder, and he glanced at the soldiers behind him, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I heard that Yan ...... That Yan Gong only waited for his big Sima to come back, and he was going to force His Majesty to make Zen in this Luo where there was no one at all, so impatient, wouldn't he be laughed at in the future? β
Liu Xie sighed, and was about to speak, but he felt cold, and then sweat immediately flowed down his back, because at this moment, a voice that he had heard several times in the past suddenly sounded from behind him:
"I don't know if it's Dong Guiren or Fu Guiren, this is a little incomprehensible, when Lone is called the emperor, it has nothing to do with whether the capital is prosperous or not...... According to the lonely view, a blank piece of paper, so that you can paint calmly! What does Your Majesty think? β
Liu Xie knew who had arrived, but he turned around with a sense of panic, and sure enough, he saw that it was Sun Xun, the father of Yan, who was dressed in brocade clothes and went upstairs in person, in addition, there was a yellow-mouthed young man who was about the same age as himself behind him, and two tall young men in brocade clothes with knives.
Seeing this situation, Liu Xie probably knew that the other party had no malicious intentions, so he mustered up the courage to reluctantly fight: "Yan Gong said and laughed, Dong Guiren is just a woman, and she has no tutor, how can she understand these strategies?" β
This is the irony of Gongsun Xun who killed Dong Cheng's family that day, and hearing this title, Dong Guiren also hid behind the Son of Heaven in panic, and only raised his head slightly to look at his father-killing enemy.
"What about women?" Gongsun Xun shook his head again and again, but he was not angry, but he had a good time. "If a minister comes to see His Majesty in civilian clothes, he will not salute."
"Until now, I don't dare to be ......"
"How is Your Majesty staying in the Pavilion?" Gongsun Xun smiled again, still not angry.
So far, he really doesn't need to be angry with a child, even if the other party is still a genius at this time.
"Is there a majesty in the world who has returned to the old capital but lives in the capital pavilion?" Liu Xie, who was already depressed, heard this, but couldn't help but feel a little depressed. "Yan Gong just wants to insult me, so there is no need to do this, right? After all, Beigong is my free abode...... Ordinary people return home after ten years, maybe go and have a look, right? β
"Your Majesty has misunderstood." Gongsun Xun still took it right, as if he didn't care. "Lone hasn't been stingy enough to do this, it's really that the North Palace and the South Palace have not been repaired, and he is Lonely, and he only lives in a newly built private house...... It is estimated that after the autumn harvest, it will be able to barely live in people. β
The Son of Heaven was puzzled for a while: "Didn't Yan Gong call me to do meditation?" How has the palace never been repaired? β
"Because Lone didn't expect that the world would be unified so quickly." Gongsun Xun took it calmly. Then he went back to the words, and when he waited for the throne had little to do with this city...... The important thing is to unify the four seas! The four seas are unified, and Lone Nature is the master of the world, let alone anything else?! β
"In this way, Yan Gong doesn't need me to come to Zen?" The Son of Heaven was in a hurry.
"Don't say it, Your Majesty's words are also somewhat reasonable, and Lone is really moved." Gongsun Xun couldn't help laughing.
The Son of Heaven suddenly changed color: "I'm just joking...... Since Yan Gong has come here in person, I naturally have nothing to say, no matter when I make a big gift, I will never refuse, I just hope that Yan Gong can keep his promise, and the bloodline of the Xu Han family will naturally continue. β
"I'm not here today for this!" Gongsun Xun suddenly looked solemn. "It's not enough to go on a trip by yourself...... Your Majesty, the minister has something to tell you here, after you left, Jing Youxi committed suicide by throwing himself into the river. β
When the Son of Heaven heard this, he instinctively wanted to refute it at first, but just as he was about to speak, he already reacted in his heart - obviously, Jing Ze was afraid that he was really dead, and he really committed suicide, because there was an omen in the last farewell in the temple, but he was bent on surviving and didn't pay too much attention.
Besides, with his identity and deeds, there are countless reasons to seek death, and considering the emperor's eldest son's strategy of dropping the bag, this person is likely to seek death just to reassure him Liu Xie.
Thinking of this, all the grievances, anger and forbearance in the Son of Heaven's heart disappeared, and he felt that his mind was blank, and he didn't know what to think or do...... The Han family withered to this point, and in the end, he considered everything for the Han family and himself, and then chose the loyal person, who turned out to be a spy!
But what about a spy? Isn't it far better than those who are the four generations and the three princes and what eunuchs are two thousand stones?
But I didn't have time to think about it, as soon as I thought of the word 'spy', the Son of Heaven woke up almost instantly, but he couldn't help but burst into tears, and he cried to the expressionless Gongsun Xun in the attic: "Yan Gong, the Beijing car ride is Hanchen ......"
I don't know why, there was almost pleading in the tone of the Son of Heaven.
Seeing the other party's posture, Gongsun Xun also raised his head and sighed: "Yes, Jing Ze is a loyal minister of the Han family!" It is no different from Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande! β
For a moment, Liu Xie was almost grateful to the other party.
Seeing this, Gongsun Xun didn't say anything more, just turned around and went downstairs.
Upstairs, the Son of Heaven mourns...... In his life, he was accustomed to seeing his loved ones die, but at that time he was too young, and he was more afraid than sad, and today the situation has no place to retreat, or it is in an alternative place without fear.
Gongsun Xun could hear the crying upstairs uncontrollably, and his heart was gloomy for a while.
In the final analysis, he is also ashamed of Jing Youxi...... And when I came here today, one is naturally the meaning of negative anger and sin; Second, it is faintly a posture to test the little genius!
After all, as one of the few people who knew that Empress Yuan was pregnant before Lu Bu's death, Gongsun Xun knew what the so-called emperor's eldest son was from the beginning, but he never took it to heart.
Therefore, after the little emperor rarely threw down the shell of the son of heaven and begged hard, Gongsun Xun was relieved for a while. In any case, this little genius still has a little conscience after all.
In this way, the Son of Heaven naturally cried, and Gongsun Xun naturally turned back to his 'private house' in Luoyang - he did not deceive the other party before, the North and South Palaces were still under repair, and he could only live in the newly built urban area, and then defend it strictly.
However, just as Xiao Tianzi sighed upstairs before, there are very few residents in Luoyang City now, and the people in the city are just the Yexia officials who gradually moved over and the Yexia forbidden army who moved here before, as well as the people who participated in the restoration and construction of the city before, which can be regarded as extremely safe.
And along the way, because there was a person behind him who had been accompanying him, he couldn't help but delay a little more.
"If you want to ask, you can ask, how can you be so honest after more than a year?" Gongsun Xun was in front of the horse, surrounded by horses, and there was a leader in front, and behind him was his eldest son, Gongsun Ding, who hurried here with Gongsun Yue.
"Erchen ......" Gongsun Ding, who was riding a big horse, immediately responded, but seemed a little hesitant. Erchen didn't know where to start. β
"You can ask anywhere, one by one."
"No!" Gongsun Ding hurriedly followed. "My lord, why is the son of the Han family so out of shape? Could there be a reason for this? β
"Yes! But the father doesn't want to say it...... Next. β
"Then my lord, why did you have to ascend the throne in such a hurry? Although the world is unified, you can still wait for ......"
"What's there to say about this, it's just that the father can't wait! And as a father, he never cares about face and reputation! β
"But my father doesn't care about a mere person, does he? Why don't you wait for the Luoyang Palace to be repaired, the prefectures and counties of the world are divided, and the hearts of the people in the world are also prepared, and then do this? Gongsun Ding was still puzzled. Is there something going on? β
"Yes...... But the father still didn't want to say it. Gongsun Xun still reined in front of him, calm.
"There's only one question left to ask." Gongsun Ding is also powerless.
"Tell me."
"Dare to ask your lordship, why is Luoyang the capital?" Gongsun Ding cheered up and continued to inquire seriously.
"That's a good question." Gongsun Xun finally glanced back at his son on the horse. "This kind of thing is not only a request for a place of beauty, but also a matter of national politics...... And Luoyang was decided on after a long discussion with your grandmother. You know, we talked about five cities at that time! β
"The son would like to hear about it." Gongsun Ding was naturally excited, and Sima Yi and Ma Dai, who were reinstated after him, also pricked up their ears.
"The five cities are Luoyang, Chang'an, Yecheng, Xuchang, and Jixian." Gongsun Xun said slowly, eloquently. And the five cities are all biased...... If Jixian County is included in the reference, it is not because this is the fiefdom capital of the father, but because it is the capital of this place, the country will inevitably rely on Hebei in the future, manage Liaodong, develop Sanhan and the newly discovered Wa Island, and suppress the Saiwai grassland! Another example is Xuchang, which is based on the Central Plains and opens up the meaning of the south of the Yangtze River! However, these two places are inevitably narrow, geographically speaking, under the same strategy, Jixian is slightly inferior to Yecheng, and Xuchang is slightly inferior to Luoyang! Because Yecheng can take into account the Central Plains, and Luoyang can in turn connect Hebei and Sanfu. β
Gongsun Ding, everyone's hearts moved slightly.
"As for Chang'an, it is naturally the old road of the Han Dynasty, and it is to open up the Western Regions, unblock the ancient silk road, squeeze the grassland with the Western Regions, and control the ......Central Plains with Guanzhong," Gongsun Xun continued. If you've read a little bit and can understand what it means, it's also a great choice. β
Gongsun Ding immediately bowed his head: "The ministers know what the adults mean, but they still have doubts. β
"Say!"
"Since the lord has decided on Luoyang, it naturally makes sense, but as the lord said, this move is to ask the country to develop the south side of the Yangtze River...... But if so, will the Western Regions ignore it? Liaodong doesn't care? Won't the grasslands be suppressed? Gongsun Ding inquired seriously.
"It's a good question, go out for a year, and you've grown in the end." Gongsun Xun finally smiled and turned back. "Who's to say I don't care, though?"
Gongsun Ding was speechless for a while: "......"
"Ah Ding!" Gongsun Xun became more and more unable to laugh. "A generation has a generation's strategy, and a generation has a generation's responsibility...... Your father and I finally settled on Luoyang, not to abandon the Western Regions, the grassland, and Liaodong, but to do our best to end it for you in my lifetime! I don't dare to say that the world is peaceful, at least I can let you not worry about the affairs of the three places during your reign! β
Gongsun suddenly settled down - the national policy of developing Jiangnan was to let him do it, and it was no wonder that he let himself go to Tuntian.
Moreover, Gongsun Ding had no doubt that his father's level and prestige would not be enough to suppress the grassland and control the Western Regions! Grassland, it's a big deal to fight, but now that Kebi can really have the guts? In the Western Regions, Han Sui has already gone to operate, and it will continue to do so in the future.
Only Liaodong, how to develop Liaodong, but it is not an overnight thing, Gongsun Ding can't think of any immediate strategy.
But on the other hand, if his father ascends the throne this month, there will be at least twenty or thirty years of heaven to do, which should be enough, right?
"Are you done?" At this moment, Gongsun Xun suddenly turned around and interrupted his son's thoughts.
"Yes!" Gongsun Ding hurriedly responded.
"You've finished asking, but I still have something to tell you!"
"Please give your order!" Gongsun Ding didn't pull the horse, because he knew that his father didn't like that.
"When the end of the month, when the Jiaozhou Mu and the Great Sima arrive together, I will ascend the throne as the Son of Heaven." Gongsun Xun was as casual as if he was talking about family trivialities. "You will be the crown prince then...... That's why you were specifically called...... But after being appointed as the crown prince, don't ask me to urge, go back to the middle of the river directly! Whether Xie Wei dies or you are appointed as the crown prince, you have to make some achievements with me in Tuntian! After the crowning, go back to Luoyang! β
"No!" Gongsun Ding did not dare to hesitate.
After the father and son said this, they were not speechless, but pointed out the newly built Luoyang City along the way, and talked about some idle things in the past.
For example, here someone confronted Duan Cheng with a knife; Someone had fed chickens there; It was where a man first met his wife; Someone had dragged the corpse of a powerful eunuch through the street.
All this, but it took an afternoon to return to the temporary private house, and the whole family rarely had dinner together, which can be regarded as picking up the wind and washing the dust for the eldest son who has not returned home for a long time.
After dinner, at the beginning of the lanterns, Gongsun Xun and the little daughter who gradually spoke smoothly talked with each other for a while, but suddenly abandoned everyone and came to the back hall to stand solemnly, asking to see his own mother, and he was about to be promoted to the queen mother's aunt.
In other words, the mother and son have been in Luoyang these days, and Aunt Gongsun has been arranging planning matters inside and outside Luoyang City...... So at this time, Gongsun Xun suddenly suddenly asked to see her, which made Gongsun Auntie's maids panic.
However, Aunt Gongsun herself was not puzzled, and she was even prepared.
When the two met, Gongsun Xun finished saluting his mother who was sitting in the back hall, and after getting up, he also said bluntly: "Mother, my son has seen the Han Emperor, and he has made up his mind, and he will end this matter before the autumn harvest and ascend the throne as the emperor!" So today I came to ask for something! β
Aunt Gongsun slowly bowed her head, and then personally took out a square box with the length and width of a palm from behind her, placed it directly on top of a few cases on one side, and sighed:
"I already knew that I couldn't hide it from you, waiting for you!"
Gongsun Xun stepped forward, opened the box, and calmly took out a jade seal.
I saw that this seal is four inches in circumference, on the new hand over five dragons, and there are eight big characters engraved on the front below, which is 'ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang'. Not only that, one of the four corners of the jade seal was obviously broken, but it was made up with red gold. And the gold and jade, green and yellow, under the candle flame, shining, even more moving.
Needless to say, this is the heirloom jade seal...... Gongsun Xun couldn't find it for a long time, and he guessed that his mother got it directly through Gongsun Yue in the chaos that day, or directly after the chaos let people find it from some well, but he didn't make a noise, and he didn't ask anyone.
"Good baby!" Gongsun Xun held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't help but shake his head. "Actually, I can probably guess my mother's thoughts...... The treasure in the well, and the dragon on it, and the mother said that she 'crossed' from the well because the dragon 'crossed over' here, is there really a connection between the two? β
Aunt Gongsun, who already had a slight white silk in her hair, was also stunned when she heard this, but she helped down her black-framed glasses that had been worn for a long time: "I don't know, I don't have the courage to take this thing to jump into the well and give it a try, I have lived here for more than forty years, and I am full of children and grandchildren, and I will soon become the queen mother, and now, do you still expect to go back?" It's better to be serious and want to be a filial piety queen mother or something. It's you, this time you ascended the throne in such a hurry, and in the end, it is the 400-year mandate of the Han family, there are always people who care, and it is good to leave it to you with the right destiny! β
Gongsun Xun smiled dumbly, but put the heirloom seal in his hand back into the box, and then turned to his own mother and smiled: "Although there is no need to jump into the well or anything, why not grind some jade powder and put it in the porridge to see if there is any special effect?" Or in the future, when the mother really has eternity, according to what the mother said, buried on the grassland outside the Saiwai, buried the bones three feet into the ground, and when the white horse stepped on the ground, by the way, this thing will be buried with it, and it is impossible to say that the soul can still be pinned on it and live another life? β
"No kidding." Aunt Gongsun didn't say it angrily. "It's not that I'm reluctant to give up this thing, but I really have some worries about it."
"My son wasn't joking." Under the candlelight, Gongsun Xun directly pushed the box in front of his mother. "I haven't paid attention to the dead things, and I haven't cared about the destiny of heaven...... If you want me to say, my mother has worries in her heart, so keep it! The son is going to ascend the throne and become the emperor, and it doesn't hurt for the mother to give individual congratulatory gifts. β
Aunt Gongsun raised her gaze from the jade seal and moved it to her son's face, but it was her turn to smile: "Your mother and I should have thought of it a long time ago...... However, I did prepare for it! I promise you that when you ascend the throne, the Amway can be state-run and at your disposal, but you must also promise me a few things. β
"Mother, please speak." Gongsun Xun bowed to him.
"First, the Amway is huge, and now even I don't know how much business there is, so I need to hand it over slowly to save chaos."
"It's nature."
"Second, the reason why Amway is invincible is because it is a firm, not an official office...... After you get your hands on it, you must remember that whether it is split or merged, you can't let it have too much intersection and circulation with the court bureaucrats, otherwise this business name will naturally be blunt! Aunt Gongsun reminded solemnly.
Gongsun Xun bowed his head heavily.
"Then go ahead!" Aunt Gongsun was also suddenly relieved, but she picked up the jade seal and turned back. "If you can leave a thought for your mother, it can be regarded as having a conscience."
"Mother lives a long life, and she will have a conscience in the future!" Gongsun Xun, who had already turned around and wanted to leave, looked back and was also relieved.
The behemoth between the mother and son was so lightly pried up by a jade seal, or the last missing corner of the Mandate of Heaven of the Yan Kingdom, so lightly made up by a jade seal, it can only be said that this thing is priceless.

"What's more, the king of the supreme rule will not come out of the world! Yu has the world, the sixteen kings, and Shaokang has the industry of Zhongxing. Tang has the world, and there are twenty-eight kings, and those who are very prosperous are known as the three sects. King Wu has the world, passing on thirty-six kings, Cheng, Kang's rule and Xuan's merits, and the rest have nothing to say. Although the "poems" and "books" contain, there are sometimes omitted, but three generations have more than 700 years, more than 70 monarchs, and their outstanding works are seen in later generations, these six or seven monarchs only. Woohoo, it's a rarity! And Taizu covered the Han with a swallow, sheng! In addition to the rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty, it was compared to Tang and Wu; The beauty of governance, Shu Jicheng, health. Since ancient times, there has been merit and longevity, and it has not been seen since three generations.

However, the law of "Spring and Autumn" is often blamed on the sage, and it is the gentleman of later generations who wants to be beautiful as an adult, and he can't help but sigh in Siyan. - "New Yanshu". Volume II. Emperor Taizu Wu Benji
"Woohoo, since ancient times, there have been fathers who have started businesses to leave their sons, and there are no mothers who have started businesses to leave their sons. As for Yan Taizu Fan ten years and dying in the four seas, his mother Xiaozhuang Empress Wen donated hundreds of millions of dollars to Youyan, soothing people's hearts in the state, securing the industry in Sanfu, controlling the situation in Liaodong, sitting in the rear, taking charge of the economy, especially Xiao He, great merit! And Taizu decided in Luoyang, and said: 'If you have a mother as a daughter, you will sit and enjoy its success!' Is it not true? ββ"Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty". Wang Cang
