Chang'an is more turbulent than Zhiyi County, and the situation is more chaotic.

If Yixian is still only at the level of so-called temptation, and it is mainly based on organized self-temptation within the Gongsun Xun group, then Chang'an, a natural political city, is full of all kinds of unbelievable political waves.

Approaching the end of the year, after Gongsun Xun led 30,000 horses to Chang'an, the entire Chang'an was chaotic.

There are ignorant scholars who block the road on the street, and ask Gongsun Xun to be the Son of Heaven; There are Haoshou old children who ignore the cold weather and come to the door barefoot to scold Gongsun Xun as a thief; There are a large number of Han courtiers, especially those middle-level ministers who are born in Sanfu, openly linked, asking Gongsun Xun to be the king; There are also ministers who hold the weight of the ministers after so many days of thinking, and openly ask Gongsun Xun to lead the lieutenant on behalf of the prince and record the affairs of the book.

And among them, there are all kinds of strange auspiciousness and visions!

There was an earthquake in Luoyang, Zhongnan Mountain dug up the jade seal, Danshui picked up a skull hidden in the gold box, and the most terrifying thing is that on the day Gongsun Xun entered Chang'an, a dragon appeared in Weishui! Hundreds of honest people who never lie saw it together, and their eyes were the size of lanterns, and they couldn't be faked!

However, in the midst of the chaos, some ministers and ministers who really have identity and political prestige are uncharacteristically silent and silent, which makes people even more vigilant in the midst of the noise.

At the same time, the Wei general Gongsun Xun also seemed to have been prepared, since he led troops into the city, he invited him to be the Son of Heaven and scolded him as a thief, and all people were sent some hot soup and chased away, neither rewarding nor chasing the guilt; Those who are invited to be kings, and those who are invited to record the affairs of the Taiwei are put on a humble posture and are polite.

Correspondingly, Gongsun Xun made an intensive action to deal with the aftermath of the Son of Heaven's escape.

On the one hand, he invited Huang Wan and others to discuss Liu Yu's name, and on the other hand, he asked Zhong Xuan, who was sitting in Wuguan, to send an envoy to Nanyang to 'ask the princes of the Central Plains to escort the Son of Heaven back to explain the problem'......

In all fairness, many of these things are a formality, such as palace people and palace maids, they are not hungry, but Gongsun Xun cares about their lives, and no one can pick them out; There is also the matter of Gongsun Chan, Wang Yun is a guilty concubine, Gongsun Chan was just killed in advance, and Gongsun Xun also picked up his guard and military power before entering Chang'an, what else is there to say? The ministers are just posthumously admitted; As for 'please come back', how could the Son of Heaven come back? This is obviously to ask the Son of Heaven and disgusting the princes of the Central Plains, and it is impossible to say that Gongsun Xun further makes the Duke of Chang'an die here, but everyone still can't find faults, and they all feel that there is indeed such a little truth, so they should go and ask for it, persuade and persuade it to say something else!

However, at the end of the year, as Liu Yu's son Liu He finally arrived from the fast horse in Liaoxi, Liu Bo'an was officially buried, and everyone's eyes were once again on the former captain.

In this regard, Gongsun Xun, who had been prepared for a long time, made a final conclusion on the life of the Han court in the name of the ruling general:

Liu Bo'an posthumously presented the general of the chariot cavalry, and his nickname was Dinglie - the great concern of the quiet people was fixed, the pure line was unhappy, the people were worried, and the ancient law of the people was determined; There is merit to calm the people and say martyrdom, and to respect virtue and industry.

Thinking about it, Liu Yu has been in charge of the Han court for six years, and when he took over, the ability of the Han family to govern has been completely lost. It can even be said that the entire world has been able to develop from a full-scale melee in the Dong Zhuo era to today's partial stability in the past six years, and it also has his historical merits.

So, it's a fitting word!

As for Lie's two explanations, the former is the meaning of Shun Chengding, needless to say, but the latter is a judgment on the escape of the Son of Heaven and his own death.

How is it judged? Of course, like the previous Yang Ci (Zhen Wenlie) and Liu Kuan (Zhao Lie), the use of this martyr character clearly points out that his death was loyal to his duty and the meaning of martyrdom and duty. And considering that the professions of these three people are unavoidably special, the auxiliary minister, then the auxiliary minister is loyal to his duties and morality, but he has to die...... Correspondingly, what are some people?

In short, this nickname basically reflects Liu Yu's historical merits and his personal virtues very fairly, no one can fault it, Liu He even has a little gratitude to Gongsun Xun, and Huang Wan and others, who had been silent before, finally gradually loosened their attitude.

As for Gongsun Xun, a general of Wei, how can he posthumously present a lieutenant as a general of the chariot cavalry, but no one cares. After all, death is greater, and mourning can always make people with similar positions empathize.

And on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth month of the fifth year of Jian'an, with Liu Yu's official funeral, he was ready to go to the Changling Tomb on the north bank of Weishui to be buried for peace, and this kind of mournful atmosphere artificially created by Gongsun Xun has reached an extreme!

First of all, Gongsun Xun actually personally supported the spirit with Huang Wan, escorting the filial son Liu He to bury Liu Dinglie and his Mrs. Liu, who was posthumously posthumously sealed.

That's not all, General Wei issued an edict early, so that the ministers, subordinates, Jingzhao officials, and army squadrons in the DPRK and China should all accompany the funeral, and at the same time, he specially sent General Zhang Liao to lead 2,000 knights to wear armor and linen along the way!

At the end of the year, the funeral ceremony attracted more Chang'an officials to send each other, for a time, from Chang'an to Weishui, along the way to send more than 100,000 Jingzhao officials? !

And in this process, the crying of the send-off people along the way, and the wailing of the entourage of the minister, are also endless, endless, and even accidents and farces have occurred when someone asks for a funeral!

In the face of such an unexpected and unimaginable situation, it is unbelievable that most of the people who attended the funeral, including the planners Gongsun Xun, Jia Xu, and Xi Zhong, were surprised, but they were not incomprehensible, and even to a certain extent, they also had a feeling of kinship with me.

In fact, some people may indeed be grateful to Liu Yu for the maintenance of the Han family, the pacification of Guanzhong, and some people do have a deep personal relationship with Liu Yu, but more people may not really know Liu Yu and be grateful to Liu Yu, just because Liu Yu's death means the end of a long period of stability, so they are confused and uneasy about the future, and they encounter this powerful and incomparable sad atmosphere, so they can't help but cry for themselves!

Think about it, at this time of mourning in the world, who doesn't have a little grief hidden in their hearts on weekdays?

States, individuals; Future, past; Death, Rebirth, ...... First there is an empty pathos for the situation, and then there are concrete and vivid things and images...... Children who died young, brothers who were separated from the capital, parents who starved to death, neighbors who disappeared, friends who never returned...... In the end, it is a kind of pure sadness that is inexplicable, inexplicable, and can be relacited by everyone.

To put it bluntly, Liu Yu's funeral is not just his funeral? Today's weeping, how can we just weep today's day?

It can only be said that the joys and sorrows of human beings may be barely connected in parts. And Gongsun Xun, as a mastermind, is just the beginning, and he can't control the catharsis of people's hearts in the future.

A day of unbridled crying gave many people a huge sense of shock, perhaps because of this, after returning to General Wei's Mansion in Chang'an in the evening, Gongsun Xun had just changed back into civilian clothes, and suddenly ushered in several unexpected guests.

The person who came was Huang Wan, Situ Zhao Qian, who was the acting consul of Shangshu, as well as Chong Shao, Ma Riyan, and Shisun Rui, in addition, there was also a Jingzhao Zhao Qi who had served as a Fufeng Taishou and Shangshu Servant under Gongsun Xun, and now retired at home, and is nearly ninety years old, but he is still in good spirits...... These people are the people who have been silent before, and they are also the representatives of the Han family who are really influential, and they are the backbone of Liu Yu who really maintains the overall situation of the Chang'an Imperial Court.

It was as if they had just come home and changed their clothes and came together. To be honest, Gongsun Xun really didn't expect them to come so quickly, and even felt a little caught off guard.

But one good thing is that when dealing with these real, and last elites of the Han family, there is no need to hide anything, they are real people in the end, and they will not be stupid.

It is rare that Gongsun Xun did not entertain guests in the main hall, but faced each other in the private house in the backyard, and gave the other party the greatest respect in etiquette in the simplest way - he introduced Wang Xiu, Xi Zhong, and Jia Xu to sit opposite several ministers.

And when the two sides sat down, naturally a servant woman brought hot soup, and the so-called fried noodles and fruits that should be eaten during the New Year are gradually becoming popular, and when Gongsun Xun noticed that the haggard tears on the other party's face were still obvious under the lamplight, he asked the servant to send a hot face towel.

"Actually, the Son of Heaven fled that day, and we already knew it in our hearts, that is, no matter how humble General Wei was, he had to go further, otherwise how could the eleven states of Hebei deal with themselves?" took off the gradually cooler face towel, and Huang Wan, who was sitting upright, said in a deep voice. At that time, although we were disappointed in the Son of Heaven and the overall situation, we still regarded ourselves as Hanchen, so we wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb from now on, and do our last bit of duty as Hanchen. At the same time, when General Guanwei is finished, when he is about to take this throne, he is in line with the gaffe and ugliness, and he is willing to degenerate...... After all, the previous He family, Yuan family, and Dong family, didn't they succeed and hold great power? As a result, once he got a big position and didn't know what to do, he was arrogant and ignorant, and he acted recklessly, and all the names of his relatives, the surname of the middle of the world, and the strength were unmatched, all of them were blown away by the rain and wind like duckweed. It's just that I didn't expect that General Wei would be a good chess player in the end, and he would be able to stabilize his heart in the face of such temptation, so calmly and unhurriedly, so that things would become so logical......"

"It is precisely because of these lessons that we must be careful to avoid their mistakes." Gongsun Xun didn't mean to hide it. "Besides, since I have achieved the general trend, why can't I be bright and calmly clean up people's hearts?"

"These things are easier said than done." Huang Wan sighed for a while. "Besides, today we are not like those villains to praise how General Wei is wise and powerful, General Wei is wise and martial, what should be happy is that these people sitting next to General Wei today have nothing to do with these old and crippled bodies like us?"

"Just ask Huang Gong to say it clearly!" Gongsun Xun immediately bowed his head, but pointed to the sky again. "Since the princes are in person today, and they are private opposites, and the soul of the martyr is the most prosperous today, please refer to the soul of Liu Gong as an oath, let's talk today, there should be no lies......"

"That's exactly what it means." Huang Wan also simply pointed to the sky.

The two looked at each other for a while, then put down their hands, and Huang Wan also continued to ask: "When the envoy returns after humiliating the Son of Heaven and the princes of the Central Plains, the Central Plains Hebei will self-destruct after many years of non-war covenant, and it is logical for General Wei to take the throne, not to mention this, but I want to ask General Wei in advance, where do you want to rule Hebei?" Xiangguo, or king? Or are you ready to set up a new emperor? ”

"It's ridiculous to have another new emperor." Gongsun Xun was honest. "The Son of Heaven and the Emperor Ling, as well as the Young Emperor, no matter how immoral and inactive the father and son are, after all, they are the orthodoxy of the Han family who have lived in the world for nearly 30 years.

At this point, Gongsun Xun paused slightly, but mentioned something by the way: "Actually, before Liu Bo'an's funeral last night, his son Liu He had a word with me, he said that the hatred of killing his father is not the same as the sky, he hates the son of heaven very much, but because of the lack of ministers and strength, it is difficult to succeed." Therefore, if I am ready to set up another Son of Heaven, he is willing to cooperate with me to be a puppet Han Emperor, just to avenge my father...... Afterwards, he was willing to give me a direct Zen! ”

"Idiot!" Huang Wan took the case and did it.

"Stupid indeed." Gongsun Xun sighed. "He did this, of course, there are one or two things to do, but he never thought that he became a puppet Han Emperor, wouldn't his father's reputation become a joke? The old minister of the Han family, apart from a reputation, what else can be sought at this time? So I dissuaded him. ”

Huang Ziyan stared at the other party, but finally gloomed.

"As for being king." Gongsun Xun saw that the other party was silent, so he continued, but suddenly laughed inexplicably, so that his words were slightly frustrated. "Gaozu punishes the white horse as an oath, and if it is not the Liu family, it is not allowed to be the king, this is the iron law of the Han family, at this time to be the king, I am afraid it is really hard to say which one is more immoral, and the hearts of the people who have finally been collected will disperse a lot...... Therefore, let's call it the public system! At least the Han family doesn't have a saying that non-Liu can't be public, right? ”

"Sealed Guogong?" Huang Wan and others were not surprised. "The foot is a native of Liaoxi, Feng Jihou, from Youzhou, and then promoted to the public, if you want to get a serious reputation, you can only be the Duke of Yan!"

"Isn't Yan Gong right?" Gongsun Xun said awe-inspiringly. "Have you thought about it? Yan started from Zhao Gong, and Zhao Gong did not live in a fief all the year round, but worked with Zhou Gong to assist the government, and divided Shaanxi and ruled, Zhou Gong ruled eastern Shaanxi, Zhao Gong ruled Shaanxi, and was called under the Duke of Zhao, and the government of Chang'an was not in line with Confucian allusions and etiquette? ”

"Zhao Gong is surnamed Ji......" Shi Sun Rui did not endure for a while.

"Gongsun's family is also surnamed Ji, and my lord lives in Liaoxi, so I can't say that I still call my grandson!" The drama pretended to be confused and refuted.

"I don't mean that, but I mean that Zhou Tianzi is the ...... of Ji"

"That's it!" Huang Wan couldn't help but interrupt Shi Sun Rui's chatter. "The matter has come to this point, what else do we have to fight, and General Wei's words are not for us...... It's just General Wei, you are a public servant today, and you may indeed have taken advantage of the loopholes of the Han family system, so that many people can find cover and feel at ease. But you also said that it was someone else, such as me and other old ministers of the Han family, who were only tied to a name, and they could be public today, kings tomorrow, and disobedient the day after tomorrow. Or are you really a loyal minister of the Han family, and you just want to be a summoner with peace of mind? ”

The other party's ridicule was clear and unmistakable, but Gongsun Xun's face was still the same: "I just swore that I wouldn't lie today, so Huang Gong asked this question, and I won't answer it." However, what can be guaranteed in the following is that it will act in a public position, and the hometown of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, if it is not one day, it will not take another half step on the next day...... And the monarch is abandoned by the Son of Heaven, and those who want to retreat and protect themselves can have enough time to retreat slowly, without worrying about their posthumous name; Those who intend to do something can also change their stance calmly...... All in all, I will never be persecuted, and I will never lose even the last bit of your reputation because of the situation that you have now abandoned by the Son of Heaven. ”

Huang Wan and the others looked at each other, and then Situ Zhao Qian sighed: "With ten thousand feet, you can naturally be generous; And we only have one of the remaining existences, but we can't help it! ”

"Since you know that my lord dwells in ten thousand, then you should understand that my lord has really done his best of benevolence and righteousness today, and if you really want to continue to forcibly go against the trend, then do you think that those of us below will be as merciful as my lord?" Seeing that there were still people on the other side who seemed hesitant and unconvinced, Xi Zhong couldn't help but say yes. "When the time comes, does the dweller of all really need to care about one or the other?"

"Of course, we also know that you don't care......" Jia Xu finally spoke. But what's the point? Today on the bank of Weishui, the people of Jingzhao gathered 100,000 people and wept together, are they crying in the Han room? Are you crying Liu Gong? Isn't it crying why the world can't be unified, and people's hearts can't be completely peaceful? And you are outstanding people, you should see clearly, those who can be safe in the Han family, my lord can be safe, and those who can not be in the Han family, my lord can also be safe...... No matter how many kings are only tied to one, no matter how they are only the way of being a minister, but even if they are ministers, they should be people first and then ministers, right? ”

"If you don't know the people's opinions, why do you want to do this?" Huang Wan was also awe-inspiring, but he was depressed to the point of boredom. "That's it! So far, it's useless to think about it, just call the public, and we will cooperate in the next year! Only General Wangwei remembers today's words, the world is not fixed in one day, then you will not enter one day! ”

"There is no lie." Gongsun Xun hurriedly replied.

"Let's go, then!" Huang Wan got up directly.

Gongsun Xun also immediately got up to send him off.

However, when Huang Wan and the others came to the threshold of the house, Zhao Qi, the eldest among them and the best personal friend of Gongsun Xun, suddenly turned around and saluted Gongsun Xun on the door: "No matter what, although General Wei is deliberate this time, General Wei can try to be as upright as possible and not oppress people with power, especially if he can have a good result with Liu Boan and I and other ministers, we are still grateful......"

Zhao Qi is almost ninety years old, how dare Gongsun Xun take the big one, and he hurriedly led the three of them to return the salute.

"One more thing." Zhao Qi and the others opened their mouths to ask again as soon as they got together. "Why did he see the general swearing and smiling? Doesn't it mean that General White Horse broke the White Horse Oath, is this the will of God? ”

"Yes, yes." Gongsun Xun blurted out, and immediately stunned with the others.

"What if the world is set for the future?" Zhao Qi continued to stand on the door, blocking the other party and asking. "Why is Yan to Han?"

"Be a man!" In the house, where there was only the sound of panting, Gongsun Xun, who came back to his senses, simply didn't bother to cover it.

"What is a reply?" Zhao Qi chased after him.

"Cover and destroy for cover, cover and cover for cover!" Gongsun Xun held his waist and replied calmly. "That's what it means! Is Zhao Gong going to take out a hammer from his sleeve next and fight with me for life and death? If you die with me, in your age and in your prestige...... I'm afraid it's as ridiculous as the Son of Heaven. ”

"Bo can't move." Zhao Taiqing turned around in the trance of the rest of the people such as Huang Wan, Zhao Qian, Shi Sunrui, Ma Riyan and Pang De's vigilance, and walked away hand in hand. "And in the past, Dong Zhuo I couldn't Bo, I couldn't Bo the party, I couldn't Bo for Pingliang to join the army, I couldn't Bo for the sake of merging the state and assassinated the history, why not Bo with my feet today? It's just that I borrowed what Huang Gong just said, hoping to remember today's words. ”

Zhao Qi left, Huang Wan, Zhao Qian and others were silent for a moment and then followed, most of them were already old, and they couldn't help but cringe in the cold, and they were even more desolate.

And when Gongsun Xun caught up again and personally sent these few remaining old ministers of the Han family out of General Wei's mansion, before he had time to say goodbye and break up, suddenly, in the cold air, there was a crisp sound on the street next door...... Several old ministers of the Han family and Gongsun Xun who had been sad all day were stunned together, and then speechless, how could they not know that there were anxious young children who couldn't help but burn the bamboo in advance, to listen to the sound of firecrackers!

As the saying goes, the old calendar is gone, and the new calendar is coming!

Back to the present, although the private communication of key figures can solve practical problems, such as Huang Wan, Zhao Qi and others, the visit of Huang Wan, Zhao Qi and others actually removed the last practical obstacle to Gongsun Xun's claim to be a public, but after all, the small meeting is only a small meeting, which can only solve problems, and what can really give people a legal basis is still the conference and the court.

Only when everyone attends the conference together in broad daylight and on politically significant occasions can the participants take political responsibility for the final outcome of the conference, so that the outcome of the conference is politically binding!

Just like before, Gongsun Xun said 10,000 words in private, and it was not as politically meaningful as his reprimand in front of Weiyang Palace.

In the sixth year of Han Jian'an, Bingzi, at the beginning of the first month, the Son of Heaven in Wancheng refused to return, and at the same time announced to the world, asking the princes of the world to protect King Qin in Nanyang, and to the west to cut down Gongsun...... The crime is the murder of the lieutenant and the conspiracy.

After receiving the reply, Chang'an was in an uproar, and after sending the palace maids of Weiyang Palace to Nanyang, General Gongsun Xun immediately led hundreds of officials to recommend Guanglu Doctor Huang Wan as the Taiwei Lu Shangshushi, and recommended Sun Rui as the Sikong, and at the same time appointed Ma Riyan as the court lieutenant, and Handan Rong as the guard lieutenant.

After the completion of the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, the Three Princes turned around on the seventh day of the first month in the Weiyang Palace to gather the ministers, to summon the story of the public, and the hundred officials discussed the Jiawei general Gongsun Xun as the Duke of Yan, and continued to supervise the military of the eleven states of Hebei.

After three ceremonial resignations, Gongsun Xun calmly accepted the suggestion of the hundred officials of Chang'an, and issued an edict by Huang Wan, the Taiwei who recorded the Shangshu on behalf of him, and officially ascended the throne of Yan Gong, and sealed the five counties of Liaoxi, Youbeiping, Yuyang, Guangyang, and Zhuo in Youzhou and Pingzhou.

The whole process is smooth, and there is no hindrance.

However, after receiving the title of Duke Yan, in order to show respect, Gongsun Xun sent a document to Nanyang with Shejian as a messenger before the establishment of the prince, the queen of the country, and the minister of state, and gave a detailed explanation of the election of the hundred officials, and at the same time once again emphasized the fact that the Son of Heaven killed the Taiwei for countless people to witness, and then once again persuaded the Son of Heaven to return to Chang'an to have doubts about the hundred officials.

One thing that was a little lucky was that when the envoy on a business trip in the Great New Year walked to Wuguan, it happened to be Deng Zhi, the envoy of Nanyang. It turned out that Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Liu Bei finally joined forces to persuade the Son of Heaven, and they were preparing to crown Gongsun Xun as a general! So, under the guidance of Wuguan Zhong Xuan, the two envoys exchanged documents with each other, and then they simply turned around and went back, and they also ran around in vain during the Great New Year of the province, and even risked their lives.
