When Liu Yong sent Deng Zhi as an envoy to contact Eastern Wu to destroy Wei......... Cao Rong, the young Great Wei Emperor of the Northern Kingdom, was also exploring the way to destroy Shu and Wu and dominate the world from his courtiers.

Xuchang

The wind is bleak, the snow is fluttering, and the north is reckless.

When Emperor Wen of Wei was Cao Pi, Xu County was changed to Xuchang County, and Luoyang, Xuchang, Ye, Qiao, and Chang'an were the five capitals of Wei.

However, Chang'an was abandoned and decayed for a long time, and it was only because Cao Cao's hometown was recently prominent, so it was Luoyang, Xuchang and Yecheng that really played the role of the capital.

There is a saying among the courtiers of the Wei State that half of the time of the year the emperor is in Luoyang, and the other half is fortunate in Xuchang and Yecheng.

In the first year of Taihe, in January, Cao Rong drove Xuchang and was stationed in Xuchang Palace.

After inspecting the arsenal where armor and weapons were stored, Cao Rong boarded the gold and silver car and drove to the Chengguang Palace.

Outside, the snow was falling, and under the slaughter of winter, the air was also condensed with a bone-chilling cold. As soon as he boarded the gold and silver cart, a eunuch immediately sent a charcoal basin, Cao Rong hurriedly sat down, stretched out his hands that were frozen red, roasted the fire, and rubbed it vigorously.

This time to visit Xuchang, Cao Rong is following the footsteps of the imperial examination.

When his father, Emperor Wen, was in power, he drove Xuchang many times, but it was because Xuchang now bears too much weight in the center of the Great Wei court. To this day, although the imperial court has moved its capital to Luoyang, Xuchang still retains one-third of the imperial court officials to work here.

The Chinese army's weapons supply depot and the state's weapons reserve - arsenal are also still located in Xuchang.

In fact, Cao Rong is no stranger to Xuchang, Xuxian County, the former imperial capital of the Han family, on the contrary, he is still very familiar with it, and there are memories of his childhood here.

With his eyes closed, he could figure out Guo Cheng, the inner city and Miyagi. and the kind and pleasant names, the Prime Minister's Mansion, the former home of him and his father; Yuxiu Terrace, the mound where Liu Xie, the Duke of Shanyang, once sacrificed to the sky; There are also Gyeongbokgjeon, Seonggwang Hall, Yongshidai, as well as the gorgeous Gaochang Temple and Jiancheng Temple, all of which he is very familiar with.

Because, it has only been seven years since the late Han Emperor Liu Xie left Xuchang, and the time is too short, as if it happened just yesterday.

On that day, Liu Xie convened a group of ministers and scholars to tell the high temple and worship the ancestors. So that the imperial historian Zhang Yin held the festival to serve the emperor's seal in his father, and his father practiced Zuo. Shanyang County of Hanoi was honored by the Han Emperor Liu Xie as the Duke of Shanyang, and the Han Dynasty was Zhengshuo, and the suburbs were sacrificed with the gift of the Son of Heaven, and the book was not called a minister.

At the same time, the princes of the Han family, including Liu Xie's four sons, were demoted from Wang to Chongde Marquis, and the Han princes were demoted to Guanzhong Marquis.

In this way, the Han became history, and a new dynasty rose on the basis of its passing............ Wei!

The car drove into the Chengguang Palace, the palace where the emperor listened to the government in the Liu Xie era, and Cao Rong's father, Emperor Wei Wendi, also gathered his ministers here to discuss state affairs.

Chengguang Temple

Cao Rong suddenly got up and summoned Taichang Han Ji, who was in charge of the matter of the suburban temple of Lile, to meet him.

"The minister often meets His Majesty the Emperor!" Taichang Han Ji heard the edict and immediately hurried to the Chengguang Palace.

"Flat! Sit down. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Han Ji thanked him, he knelt on the cushion in the hall and said, "Your Majesty summoned Weichen, I don't know what to order?" ”

"How's the progress of the Zongmiao in Luoyang?"

Han Ji paused and replied, "Back to Your Majesty, the Zongmiao is a place dedicated to the gods of the former emperor, and the project is huge, so it is expected that it will take two years to complete. ”

"Two years?" Cao Rong frowned, and said unhappily: "The two-year period is too long, I will only give you one year, and after one year, I must be able to worship the ancestors of the emperor in the Luoyang Temple!" ”

"This ......" Han Ji arched his hands, a little difficult.

Cao Rong waved his hand, and his tone was extremely stern: "I don't care what difficulties you have, do you need a craftsman?" Or do you need money? If you go to Shaofu and ask for it, you will say that it is my edict! ”

"In short, next year, the tablets of Emperor Gao (Cao Teng, Cao Cao's adoptive grandfather), Emperor Tai (Cao Song), Emperor Taizu Wu (Cao Cao), and Emperor Shizu Wen (Cao Pi) must be moved from Yecheng to Luoyang!"

"Minister...... Yes, sir. Han Ji was helpless, so he had to surrender his fate. He was very puzzled, so dignified, why did the emperor suddenly urge to speed up the construction progress of the Luoyang Sect Temple, this kind of thing can be said to be urgent? Shaking his head in his heart, Han Ji blamed the reason on the fact that the emperor was still too young and impatient.

But how did he know that Cao Rong, who was fortunate to be in Xuchang for the first time as the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan and the master of the world, felt a thousand layers of emotion in his heart.

Xu County was originally a small county in Yingchuan County, four miles of Guo, it is precisely because the emperor moved the Han Emperor to Xu County, in Xu County to build a large number of buildings, new street houses, houses, government offices and palaces, built here, Xu County from the small county incarnation into today's Xiongcheng capital - Xuchang.

This also confirms from the side how sacred and great the Son of Heaven is, how the status of the emperor is respected and shining, and only the majestic city and prosperous palace can be used as the emperor's residence.

But the glory and respect of the past belong to the Han Emperor and the Liu family, and he is anxious to tell the world that the construction of the Luoyang palace is eager to tell the world, and now, the extraordinary glory and respect all belong to the Cao family and belong to him Cao Rong!

Asked about the construction period of Bi Luoyang Temple, Cao Rong did not stay in Han Ji much, and directly ordered him to retire.

Waiting for Han Ji's back to disappear outside the magnificent palace gate, Cao Rong began to do today's business, summoning Sun Zi, the Zhongshu Ling, and Liu Fang, the Zhongshu Supervisor.

"I want to inherit the legacy of Emperor Wu and Emperor Wen, sweep away Liuhe, clear the universe, and exterminate the two thieves of Wu and Shu, how can Qing and others teach me?" Cao Rong sat high on the throne and greeted Sun Zi and Liu Fang, who were kneeling on the left and right.

These two are also the henchmen of Great Wei.

From the eighteenth year of Jian'an (213), the emperor was named the Duke of Wei by Liu Xie, and established an official subordination, and Sun Zi served as the secretary Lang together with Liu Fang, a native of Peijun, in charge of confidential documents, and was relied on by the emperor as the right and the ears and eyes.

In the twenty-first year of Jian'an (216), the emperor Jinjue was the king of Wei, and Sun Zi and Liu Fang were still in charge of clerical affairs, and later served as Shangshu Right and Zuo Cheng respectively, responsible for the daily affairs of Shangshutai in the imperial court. After the imperial examination (Cao Pi) inherited the throne, he planned to represent the Han Dynasty, and Sun Zi and Liu Fang were both powerful henchmen of the imperial examination.

Fourteen years have passed now, and Sun Zi and Liu Fang have also been sublimated from the young I scribes of the year to the confidential ministers of the inner dynasty who were knighted and marquised.

Hearing that the emperor was exploring the national policy, Sun Zi and Liu Fang glanced at each other, this scene seemed familiar.

When Emperor Wen first practiced Zuo, he immediately asked the ministers about the plan to dominate the world.

Sun and Liu are one with each other, but they have always been headed by Sun Zi, so Sun Zi tested Cao Rong and said: "Your Majesty wants to use troops against the south? ”

Sure enough, he was worthy of the confidential minister, and guessed my thoughts, Cao Rong said excitedly: "Last year, Sun Quan Kou Jiangxia, the ministers all thought that reinforcements should be allocated, and I Du and Sima Zhongda thought that Sun Quan was not good at land warfare, and he attacked for a long time. ”
