Chapter 20 Revisiting the relocation of the capital
Luoyang Palace
Emperor Cao Rui of Wei has been unable to sleep at night for several months, worrying that Zhuge Liang's troops will come to Luoyang City overnight, and the ministers will discuss and argue about the relocation of the capital.
On this day, I overheard the news that Cao Yu, the king of Yan, and all the relatives and nobles had something to do, so they reluctantly got up and convened the ministers to hold a court meeting.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have heard that the Eucharist is not at peace, and they have come to greet you. In order to take care of the dragon's body, there is no need to delay in moving the capital! Yan Wang Cao Yu was the first to speak.
Cao Rui was stunned in his heart, thinking that this imperial uncle has no intention of political affairs on weekdays, how can he talk about moving the capital today, someone must teach him, and see what he says.
"Moving the capital is related to national affairs, Your Majesty's holy drive is safe, now Zhuge Liang has been looking at Luoyang for several months, His Majesty is worried day and night so that the dragon body is not safe, the minister is a great Wei clan, he should share the worries for His Majesty, and move the capital as soon as possible. Xuchang is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, the original palace, and the convenience of transportation, can be temporarily accompanied by the capital. It's not too late for him to return to Luoyang when his situation improves! Cao Yu had no pen and ink on his chest, so he said according to the gourd painting scoop.
Yes, Cao Rui sighed. Zhuge Liang has been pressed by the army for several months, and he is sad day and night, afraid that Zhuge Liang will attack overnight, so that he will be sick. If the Quartet Qin King is summoned, and he is afraid that the world will be shaken, Sun Quan will also take the opportunity to enter the army, and what is even more terrifying is whether his talented uncle Cao Zhi will also take the opportunity to make trouble? The cover is the capital of Luoyang, so it is important to take care of the dragon body and stabilize the Quartet.
"Your Majesty, never!" As soon as Jiang Ji heard that the matter of moving the capital was mentioned again, he immediately came out to oppose it. "Zhuge Liang did not dare to march into Luoyang for several months, not because he couldn't, but because he said it. One is afraid of the high walls of Luoyang City, there are many reinforcements, and there is no chance of victory; Second, Zhuge Liang was cautious in his life, and he urgently needed to stabilize the northwest rear before he could spy on the Central Plains. At this time, the capital must not be moved, the move of the capital will shake the country, Zhuge Liang can take advantage of the situation to pursue, retreat can stabilize the rear Xu Tu Central Plains, and Sun Quan of Eastern Wu will also be in chaos. Moving the capital today, Luoyang will be lost, and it will be difficult for him to return to Luoyang in the future. For today's plan, when the attack is the defense, gather the crowd to stick to Luoyang, so that Zhuge Liang does not dare to despise the Central Plains, and then secretly contact Guo Huai's old department and harass Zhuge Liang's rear, then his advance and retreat are all hindered by me, this is the best policy, may Your Majesty accept it quickly! ”
"Jiang Ji is so confused, gather people to stick to Luoyang? If Zhuge Liang does not come to attack for a day, the army will not disperse for a day, and it will cost money and food. And the Quartet came to help, wouldn't Sun Quan of Eastern Wu take the opportunity to make trouble? Moreover, contacting Guo Huai's old department is really a big joke, and the minister recently received a secret report that Guo Huai has surrendered to Zhuge Liang in order to seek his life, and has been greatly reused. Such a disloyal and unrighteous person, does Jiang Gong want to contact him and contact him to rebel? Xiahou Nan seized the opportunity and took the opportunity to play.
What? Guo Huai surrendered?! Cao Rui trembled and stood up from the dragon chair, he was most afraid of the disloyalty of his courtiers in his life, and he hated the traitors the most. When Sima Yi was alive, he was on guard every day, but he didn't expect that Guo Huai, who was single-handed, was now also surrendered to the enemy country, which made him even more convinced that Sima Yi and his henchmen were ambitious and unsubordinate.
"Your Majesty, Guo Huai surrendered to Zhuge Liang for wealth and nobility, and Zhuge Liang appointed him as the general of Zhenxi, leading the Yongzhou Assassin History, fake festivals, and sealing the Inner Marquis. Guo Huai served as the vanguard of the former army, attacking the city and slaughtering the people of our northwest, and he will lead the troops to invade our Central Plains one day. Please Your Majesty severely punish the relatives of Guo Huai and the generals to set an example! Wuwei General Cao Shuang played, and Cao Zhao, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Nan and others all seconded the proposal.
"Come on~ people!" Cao Rui heard the rush of qi and blood, and his body was originally sick, so he couldn't stand still, and roared loudly: "Hurry... Quickly pass the decree, Guo Huai and others live up to the grace of the gods, betray the Lord and seek glory, and those who surrender will immediately confiscate their family property and exterminate the three clans! ”
"Your Majesty, Guo Huai's important general, meritorious service to the country, Your Majesty can't believe rumors, this is to push Guo Huai to Zhuge Liang, and push the northwest to ......" Jiang Ji was shocked and hurriedly argued.
"Enough! I have made up my mind, and those who dare to intercede are guilty of the same crime! Cao Rui interrupted angrily, staggered a few steps back, and almost fell, but the inner supervisor hurriedly held on. Cao Rui waved his hand to Cao Yu, Xiahou Nan and the others in frustration, and said: "That's it, Guo Huai has surrendered, and it is pointless to be trapped in Luoyang. I Zhun Qing and others played, the same day to move the capital, tentatively... Tentatively Xuchang, related matters, Aiqing has full authority to deal with it. ”
Cao Yu and Xiahou Nan were overjoyed when they heard it, but they didn't expect that a Guo Huai would actually make a final decision.
