Since the New Year's Day, in Chang'an City, the government and the opposition have been discussing a major issue one after another: Should the Son of Heaven be returned to the capital? And is Pei Gong willing to return the capital to the Son of Heaven?

Luoyang is the capital of the real brand, Chang'an does not even have the qualifications to face the western capital, so sooner or later the Son of Heaven will return to Luoyang, no one dares to risk the disapproval of the world, and proposes that we simply don't set the capital, just stay in Chang'an and not leave. But when will it return to Luo? Is it this year, is it next year, or will it wait until the Year of the Monkey is decided?

In fact, this question has long been placed in front of everyone. Since the end of the previous year, Pei Gai and Zu Ti recovered Luoyang and completely expelled the Hu and Han forces to the north of the Yellow River. Especially at that time, although Liu Yao returned to the north, Feng Yi and the second county of Beidi were still in the hands of the Hu people, Lu Yundun did not dare to go north for ten thousand years, and Chang'an City was in danger, so many people pondered, it is better for us to leave this dangerous situation and return to Henan.

However, this proposal was stepped on by Suo Qi, and after that, although the ancestor asked to return, Suo Qi controlled Shangshu Province, but he also did not press it. Now it's different, Zu Ti re-discussed in advance in the Zhengdan congratulatory table, similar to this kind of seal has no secret level, and the scope of circulation is relatively wide, and Pei Gai did not deliberately suppress it, which led to a raging group discussion. The elders of the DPRK and China have not yet expressed their position, but many middle-level officials have played to express their views -- some are in favor of returning Luo, and some are against returning to Luo.

Moreover, most of the people in Chang'an City were Guan sergeants, and there were very few people from Kanto like Hua Heng. Since Pei Gai came to power, the Central Plains scholars have been summoned to return to their hometowns, and more and more Kwantung people have taken the initiative to vote for him, so the call for returning Luo has risen invisibly.

Pei Gai himself did not express his position, and all kinds of discussions fermented for a period of time - he had to listen to the opinions of all parties extensively, and then weigh the pros and cons and make a decision.

Although he is in charge of the Jin Dynasty, Pei Gai can actually control only Yongzhou and half of Xuzhou, and he doesn't plan to tear his face with the Jin Court, so he can't ignore public opinion. To tell the truth, even if he has Cao Cao's strength and Wang Mang's prestige, if the government and the opposition unanimously demand that they return the capital, then they can't openly go against the crowd, otherwise they will be pointed at by thousands of people.

However, at present, there is not much difference between the proportion of the repatriated faction and the repatriated faction, and there is no sign that the balance is completely tilted towards either side.

When Shi Le led his division into the merger, the news of Liu Kun's defeat came, Chang'an City was terrified, and the balance began to tilt towards the Slow Return faction - Shi Le and Liu Cang joined forces, then the pressure on Henan will inevitably increase, Guanzhong is in danger of mountains and rivers, and it is safer to stay in Chang'an than to return to Luoyang......

In contrast to this, Zu Ti played again and asked to return the capital as soon as possible.

Zu Ti's reason is very grandiose, it is precisely because Liu Kun was defeated and Hu was re-ignited, that the Son of Heaven needed to return to Luoyang and live in the middle to boost the morale of the people of the whole country. If even the Son of Heaven does not have the courage to face Hu Kou and the confidence that he will inevitably regain the lost territory, how can he ask the people to join and the soldiers to fight?

Liu Kun is undefeated, he may not be in a hurry, Liu Kun is defeated, and Zu Shizhi feels that Luoyang must be put on the agenda. And obviously, his suggestion was unanimously agreed by the generals of Luoyang led by Xun Group, and the names of more than 20 people were jointly signed, and I implore the Son of Heaven to reply as soon as possible.

At the same time as the Ming Song, Zu Ti also wrote a secret letter to Pei Gai, but the content is still the one that was talked about before: If you don't worry, we can interchange, you serve Yu Luo, the son of heaven, I will go to Chang'an to guard, and promise that within three years, Qin and Liang will be determined, and then we can attack from both sides, cross the river and take Hu Chao!

Pei should know that this matter could not be delayed any longer, so he began to ask for opinions directly. He divided the Chang'an group into several parts and inquired about them one by one.

The first part is the important ministers of the court, mainly Liang Fen, Xun Song, Hua Heng, Song Chang, Liang Jun and other generations. Not surprisingly, Song Chang and other people from Guanzhong advocated postponing the return to the capital, and only Huaheng insisted on returning Luo within the year. Liang Fen was noncommittal about this, no matter how Pei should ask, the old gentleman refused to make a clear statement; Xun Song is similar, saying I don't have an idea, Wen Yue you can decide for yourself.

Liang Fen is a Westerner, in fact, Liang Jun's attitude is his attitude, but he is more attentive than Liang Jun, and feels that if he returns with his statement, I am afraid it is not in line with Pei Gai's wishes - did Pei Wenyue deliberately come to test me?

Furthermore, if he stays in Chang'an, he Liang Situ is the first person under Pei Che; If you return to Luoyang, Pei should use him to restrain Xun Group and Zu Ti - anyway, in a short period of time, my official title and power are not likely to be shaken, so I said, whatever you want.

As for Xun Song, he is now very closely tied to Pei Gai, so although he refuses to express his position easily, he secretly reminds Pei Gai: "Wenyue, my grandson is about to come into the world, you should not consider state affairs, but also not neglect family affairs...... That means: how it is beneficial to you, how can you come, don't think too much about the country!

Pei Cai's second group of people consulted with his guests—including some of the courtiers who were from guest backgrounds or had always been close to him. Wei Hong, You Yao and other Kanto people, of course, hoped that the imperial court would stay in Chang'an for a long time, while Yin Qiao, Li Ju and other Kanto people tended to return to Luoyang, and the two sides were in dispute.

But unexpectedly, Wang Zhuo sided with the Kansai people.

Wang Wenxuan said: "Chang'an is a thousand-year-old ancient town, since King Wu of Zhou has set its capital here, and the shape is better than Luoyang. Zhou was chased by Xirong and moved to Luoyi; Later, Qin also rose from Guanzhong, swept away the six countries, and dominated the world; Han Gaozu originally lived in Luozhong, because of Lou Jing's proposal, changed the capital to Chang'an. It can be seen that the country can be excited in Chang'an, but it is gradually declining in Henan. Today, Hu is still blazing, Guiluo is trapped and defending, only living in Chang'an, but the west is set in Qin, Liang, and the Zhang family in Liangzhou in the north, slightly accumulated, winning millions of soldiers, and turning to the east with a high house, who can be it? Karma is not to be worried. ”

I am just the opposite of what you think, I don't think staying in Chang'an is cowardice and avoidance, but I feel that going back to Luoyang is purely on the defensive, which is not good for the country.

Li Ju retorted: "The prince is mistaken. In the past, the Han Dynasty Guangwu set the capital in Luo, living in the middle of the world, so he was able to sweep away the secession and regain the glory of the Han Dynasty - which is the weakness of the Han Dynasty? Later, Dong Zhuo abandoned Luoyang and moved to Chang'an, and his family was wiped out, which shows that Chang'an cannot live for a long time. Since the Later Han Dynasty, to Cao Wei, and my Jin, all of them are Luoyang, is Henan only a defensive trend? ”

Wang Zhuo argued with it and quoted scriptures, but his words often fell short of the point—I don't know if it was because of his lack of knowledge, or because he didn't dare to express it too bluntly—which made Pei Gai very depressed. It wasn't until Pei should consult the opinions of Pei of his own clan, and what Pei Zhen said, that it seemed that he could completely refute Li Ju and Li Maoyu.

Pei Zhen said: "There are two reasons why Guangwu is the capital of Luoyang, but not Chang'an: first, after the Red Mei Rebellion, Chang'an is broken, and Guanxi is also divided, so its situation is not as good as Luoyang; Second, Guangwu originated from the south *** according to the Kanto region, how can it live in the Kansai? Don't you remember the words 'Yingchuan and Hongnong can be asked, but Henan and Nanyang can't be asked'? ”

This allusion is that Liu Xiu wanted to rectify the fields, but occasionally saw a line of small characters on the slips played by Chen Liu's officials, saying: "Yingchuan and Hongnong can be asked, but Henan and Nanyang cannot be asked." Liu Yang, the Duke of the East China Sea (that is, the later Ming Emperor Liu Zhuang), was still young at the time, and pointed out that this was talking about the Dutian problem - "Henan Imperial City, how close to the minister; Nanyang Emperor Township, many close relatives; The field house is overdue, and it cannot prevail. ”

Nanyang and Henan are close to each other, and there are countless cronies and dignitaries, this is the basic plate of Liu Xiu's beginning, how can he go to Chang'an, where the foundation is not strong?

Therefore, Pei Zhen said: "If Yunbing is broken, and Henan is no less than Guanzhong, then the reason for Guangwu Duluo cannot be reconsidered in the current world." As for the words 'Henan, Nanyang'...... Where is Wenyue's hometown? What is the foundation? Guanzhong, Henan, which is more important? ”

You...... Our hometown is in Hedong, and it is still in the hands of Hu Kou; The foundation of your business is in Xuzhou, and then you came all the way to Guanzhong, and the accumulation reached a year old. What foundation do you have in Henan? Zu Ti has joined Si, Yan and Yu together, and has been in business for a long time, with deep roots, if you still have Luoyang, can you beat him?

Pei Cai smiled, waved his hand and said: "Zu Shizhi is not a person who wants to seize power, and he ...... He has a replacement with me. ”

Pei Zhen said that it was even worse - "If things are replaced, it will be the abandonment of the foundation of Wenyue and Zugong." Can the Kansai people serve their ancestors? How many years does it take for him to settle Qin and Liang? Can Henan scholars obey the contract? If Hu Kou comes to invade within the year, how can he resist it? ”

When you arrive in a new place, you will inevitably need to spend a lot of energy and a long time to get acquainted with the geography of the mountains and rivers, and to get in touch with the people and wealthy families. So if you go to Henan and Zu Qi comes to Guanzhong, when both sides are in the run-in period, suddenly Hu Kou kills on a large scale, what should you do? This is not a good thing for the country.

Pei Pi also helped beside him: "Not only is it not beneficial to the country, but it is also harmful to the family, so you should be cautious." ”

Let's not mention the country, whether Zu Ti can gain a firm foothold in Guanzhong, we don't have to care. But what about you? If you go to Henan, your strength will inevitably be weaker because of this, and how to respond in case of emergency?

Pei Wei nodded with a smile and said, "Chengfang's words and Shenggong's words are reasonable, and the text must not be ignored." Immediately Zhengse said: "I used to make an appointment with Wen, only Guanzhong can shake the world......"

Pei Tong lost no time in interjecting: "I also told my brother. ”

Pei Wei ignored him and continued his statement: "The danger of Henan is not as good as Guanzhong, and the prosperity of the land is also antagonistic. If you live in Chang'an, you can retreat from the eastern army by closing the letter valley, and you can rest the northern captives of Lianqi and Qiang, but take Liangzhou, Shu has no inadequacy, and it can become the cause of the king and hegemon, and it is also the foundation of the restoration of the country......"

Pei Wenji is an elder after all, and he has been following Pei for a long time, and everyone here today is of the same race, so he can speak more bluntly, and he doesn't have to worry too much-

"Henan is different, although it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is easy to be attacked on three sides. If the slave goes south from Dunqiu, breaks the way of Yan and Xu, and Liu Cang crosses the river with his refuge division, then as Cheng Fang (Pei Zhen) said, the only way to do it is to sit and defend. It can't be held for a long time, if the thief slowly invades and peels off, Jing and Yang may not be able to be trusted, and it is inevitable to repeat the mistakes of the martial king of the East China Sea. ”

Pei Gai said I understand, your opinion is that I live in the middle of the pass, which is convenient for accumulation, and once the situation is established, the Kanto region is irresistible; I am going to Henan, and I am likely to be under siege...... But isn't there still an ancestor? He can send troops to Guguan to rescue.

Pei Wei shook his head: "Wenyue, don't believe too much." And people's hearts are changeable, how do you know the ancestors of different days, that is, today's ancestors? And if Wenyue curls up in Henan, he is forced to be forced and stretched, but Zu Shizhi is in Guanzhong, and he has time to accumulate, that is, he can save Luoyang, who does the great credit of the world belong to? To whom does the authority under heaven belong? ”

That's pretty naked. Pei Cai couldn't help but groan, and only asked after a long time: "Today's chaos is below, we should work together to eliminate the Hu atmosphere." If I don't return to Luo as the Son of Heaven, how will Zu Shizhi look at me? What do the people of the world think of me? If Yong and Si do not agree, the only ones who benefit are Liu Cang and Shi Le......"

Pei Wei said: "There is no one who has both sides in the world, and you can't have both fish and bear's paws." Wen Yue thought about it, now under his command, there are many Westerners and many Easterners? The newly recruited generals, all of whom are the children of Guanzhong, if they migrate to Henan, their hearts will be uneasy, if they stay in Chang'an, will they all give up their hands to Yu Zushizhi? ”

Not to mention the veterans of Xuzhou, who have been following for a long time and have all kinds of means to restrain them, loyalty can basically be guaranteed. But are you just leading these Xuzhou veterans to Henan? Haven't we all worked in vain in Guanzhong for more than a year?

Pei Gai couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in his heart, you have been talking for a long time, but you have an idea, what reason should I use to reject Zu Li?

——————————

When Zhu Pei was in a meeting, Pei Xu kept sitting there looking at his nose and nose, and his nose and heart, without saying a word. For this reason, Pei Cai specially summoned him secretly after the meeting and asked him for advice alone.

Pei Xuan arched his hand and said: "As far as Ming Gong is concerned, it is appropriate to live in Guanzhong, and it is inconvenient to move to Luoyang. As Ming Gong said, if you don't return to Luo, you are afraid that people will be separated, it is for the country, there is no difference, and there must be a trade-off......"

Then the conversation changed: "The minister has been ...... since he received the order" He is now serving as the military secretary (that is, the military division, changing his name to avoid Sima Shi's obscurity) in the general of the chariot and cavalry, and he is in charge of the power of supervision, and he is listed as the fifth rank - "That is, he divides his subordinates and probes internal and external movements." In Chang'an City today, Pei Gong will not return Luo, but there are Dongshi who want to die for this matter......"

Pei Cai listened, his eyes couldn't help narrowing, and he said in his heart, who is so bold?

However, Pei Xue didn't say who meant this, it was estimated that the grade was low, and there was no need for Pei Cai to ask in person - when he was buzzing with flies, just ignore it.

“…… As for Henan, only the ancestor Gongyun and Pei Gong will not harm the state affairs with his own intentions; Xun Taiwei and the hussars, then the cloudy Pei Gong will not allow it, and want the ancestor to pull the troops to the west, 'welcome' back to Luo. ”

When Pei Gai heard this, he couldn't help but shudder slightly.

I heard Pei Shu say again: "Under the command of the Ming Duke, most of the Westerners do not want to go east, and under the command of the ancestor Gong, the easterners have no intention of going west." However, in the minister's opinion, if the Ming Dynasty makes a plan, You Ziyuan, Wei Shenzhi, Hu Ziyan, etc. will also follow - as long as the Ming Dynasty is in the east or the west, it doesn't matter; But even if Zugong insists on Zhenxi, Taiwei Xun, Li Shihui, etc., may not be willing to obey. ”

Pei Gai couldn't help but pout: "Is it my military law, which is stricter than the ancestor Shizhi?" ”
