Chapter 85: Prelude to the Northern Expedition (3)
In late July, it became the capital of the Imperial Palace
Liu Yong held Liu Chen in his arms, was walking by the lotus pond, in the hot summer, the room was as hot as a steamer, Liu Yong really couldn't sit still, so he simply held his son to the lotus pond to cool off, at this time it was a month since Sun Quan was called the emperor, and the news also spread all over the country. King Sun Quan of Wu is called the emperor, which is like the declaration of independence from China in the previous life of Outer Mongolia in the north of Wei, but it is worth noting that the Wei State is surprisingly silent from top to bottom.
The official Wei State did not even have a deep regret to say, perhaps, the monarchs and ministers of the Wei State had already put aside the mirror in their hearts - it was a matter of time before Sun Quan established himself as the emperor!
Liu Chen is more than a month old, chubby, pink, and very cute.
This means that Xiao Liu Chen is very healthy and grows strong. For this son, Liu Yong also has high hopes.
According to common sense, it is said that filial piety is born under the stick, and it is necessary to create a strict growth environment for Liu Xuan and maintain the majesty of his father in the hearts of his children. But now Liu Yong didn't deliberately keep a distance from Liu Chen, he was only a little more than a month, and he couldn't even babble, so why did Liu Yong pretend to be a strict father?
As the saying goes: I see old when I was a child.
Liu Yong felt that Xiao Liu Chen's personality should belong to a quiet and calm type of person, Liu Chen quietly snuggled in Liu Yong's arms, just staring at Liu Yong with big black eyes, and he didn't know what the little guy was observing.
Behind Liu Yong, he was followed by the noble concubine Liao Ji, Chuntuo and more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs.
On the day Liao Ji gave birth to Liu Chen, Liu Yong immediately issued an edict that Liao Ji was promoted to the rank of concubine, second only to the queen.
Looking at the back of Liu Yong's beloved son, Liao Ji's beautiful eyes are full of tenderness, as a woman, she has the favor of this husband, and now she has a lovely son, life is like this, what luxury does Liao Ji want? Now, she only hopes that Liu Chen can grow up happily.
Not far away, the queen Ma Yingying is standing in the attic and silently looking into the distance.
After she stood on the guardrail of the attic, she could just see the path leading to the lotus pond, looking at Liu Yong holding her son and showing a happy expression, Ma Yingying couldn't help but sigh faintly, Liao Ji gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, and the mother was expensive by her son, and suddenly jumped to the point where she was only one step away from her. Liu Chen is a month old, if she can't have another son when Liu Chen is a few years old, it is likely that her status as the queen will not be guaranteed!
Thinking of this, she gritted her silver teeth and quickly made a decision.
Liu Yong hugged his son and walked out of the hidden path, Shang Shulang Hezheng suddenly chased after him from behind.
"Your Majesty, Wei Wei Chen Zhen and Shangshu Deng Zhi have returned to the court!"
"Oh, they're back?" Liu Yong frowned and said, "Immediately notify the Prime Minister and the Imperial Doctor to go to Jianwei Palace, where I will summon Chen Zhen and Deng Zhi!" ”
"No!" He bowed down and took the order.
Liu Yong hurriedly stepped into the palace gate, Zhuge Liang and Chen Zhen had been waiting for a long time.
"Filial piety (Chen Zhen)! How about it, did Sun Quan intend to disarm from Yiling? As soon as Liu Yong entered the hall, he was impatient.
Chen Zhen's mood seemed to be very high, and he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, Sun Quan agreed. Within three months, Wu had to cut half of its army from Yiling, and in return, our army had to cut two-thirds of Yong'an's troops. ”
"Just agree!" Liu Yong applauded.
Agreeing means that Sun Quan intends to send troops from Jingzhou to the Northern Expedition, and sending troops from Jingzhou will bring unprecedented pressure on Cao Wei, so that the Han Army's Northern Expedition will have more hope! As for the Han army to make concessions in terms of disarmament, this was ordered by Liu Yong to Chen Zhen in advance, and the bottom line of Shu Han was much lower than that of Eastern Wu, because ...... The troops that were laid off from Yong'an could be transferred to Jiangzhou, and it would only take a few days to go downstream, which was no different from being stationed in Yong'an.
Liu Yong asked again: "When Qing and the others left, was Sun Quan still ready to settle in Wuchang?" ”
This time, Deng Zhi replied: "Back to Your Majesty, when the ministers left Wuchang, although Sun Quan still stayed in Wuchang, he had already decided to build a business in September, and enlisted the general Lu Xun to assist the crown prince Sun Deng, and took charge of Wuchang to stay in Wuchang. Some of the officials of Wu State have already moved out first. ”
"Sun Quan wants to return the capital to Jianye?" Liu Yong was a little stunned.
For a long time, the capital of Eastern Wu was set along with the strategic policy of Wu State, in order to block the cheap daddy's eastern crusade and the conquest of Xiangfan, Sun Quan migrated to govern the public security; In order to enter Jiangxia, Sun Quan set the capital of Wuchang. Now that the goods are back in Jianye, it is very likely that they will continue to go to Hefei to find Cao Xiu to move his wrist. In this way, the disarmament of Soochow in Yiling is mostly a strategic deception?
"Sun Quan really agreed?" Liu Yong couldn't help but ask again.
Chen Zhen replied: "Your Majesty, Sun Quan did agree. In addition, he also ordered his ministers to inform His Majesty and the Prime Minister that Wu Han should agree on a date to send troops as soon as possible. At that time, troops will be dispatched at the same time, and Wei will be attacked in three ways, so as not to worry that Wei thieves will not be broken! ”
"The date of sending troops, after I discuss with the Prime Minister and the Minister, I will inform the Wu side." Hearing Chen Zhen's assurance, Liu Yong didn't bother to guess Sun Quan's intentions, even if Sun Quan couldn't hear the opinion and insisted on displaying heavy troops in Jingzhou to strictly guard against Shu Han, then Jing Xiang would definitely be biased and contained.
It is precisely because Chen Zhen and Deng Zhi worked tirelessly and traveled thousands of rivers to make envoys. Now the situation faced by Shu Han's first Northern Expedition is much better than the original one in history.
So, Liu Yong looked at Zhuge Liang: "Filial piety, Bo Miao traveled thousands of miles to envoys, ordered other countries, and returned to success." Before and after the record, what reward does the prime minister think he deserves? ”
Before and after recording? This is to be a marquis.
Zhuge Liang thought secretly, and quickly replied: "Xiaoqi has been worshiped as a guard captain before, Jiuqing has two thousand stones, and the reward is rich, so this time only the customs are sealed; Bo Miao has been sent many times, and he has built miraculous achievements, and he has been knighted as the Marquis of Pingyang Pavilion before and after the record! ”
"Not bad." I have to say that Zhuge Liang is still very fair and just, Liu Yong turned his head and asked Li Yan again: "Does the imperial doctor have any objections?" ”
Li Yan shook his head, "The minister has no objections. ”
"That's good! That is, according to the will of the prime minister! In the end, Liu Yong made the final decision.
After the reward, Chen Zhen couldn't help but glance at Deng Zhi with envy, although Deng Zhi was awarded the title left by Wang Shan, which was a bit unlucky, but it was better than his Guannei Marquis. It is ironclad hereditary replacement, and there is a question mark over whether he can pass it on to the next generation without the emperor's approval.
summoned Bi Chen Zhen and Deng Zhi, and after Zhuge Liang and Li Yan left, Liu Yongzheng was about to go to see his son again, and suddenly Chuntuo came to report: "Your Majesty, Wu Dayong has returned from business." Deng Ai, whom His Majesty was looking for, also brought it back! ”
"Deng Ai has entered Shu? Fast! Announce him to the palace! Liu Yong couldn't hide his joy on his face, Deng Ai was the successor of Zhuge Liang he was looking for!
Zhuge Liang ruled the country all his life, and the successor on the Northern Expedition designated Jiang Weishi as the tallest man among the short men - an impatient move. Jiang Wei's maximum limit is only limited to first-class military generals, and there are no planting leaves in that gifted tree, and he fought the Northern Expedition to Shu Han once and weakened the national strength once.
If Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition is a tactic to exhaust the enemy and delay time, then Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition is really a desperate army! Especially when a large number of domestic farming masters Fei Yi, Jiang Wan, and Yang Hong fell in the early and middle period of the Shu Han Dynasty, the Shu Han became poorer and poorer.
Only Deng Shizai, who has the black technology of farming in one hand and the art of war in the other, is a qualified heir to Wuhou!
