On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, the Holy Lord issued an order, acting Wang Yang Yu stayed in Xijing, and Wei Wensheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, also led Xijing to stay in Xijing, assisting the acting king.

On the fourth day of the first month of March, the Holy Lord decreed that Yang Tong, the king of Yue, would stay in the eastern capital, and Fan Zigai, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, would also lead the eastern capital to stay and assist the king of Yue.

Yang Gao, the king of Zhao, and Yang Zhen, the king of Yan, both went north to Liaodong with the Holy Lord to participate in the Second Eastern Crusade.

The only concubine of the Holy Lord, according to the principle of establishing a successor and establishing a long, Yang Lan, the king of Qi, who was the only legitimate heir of the imperial lineage, neither stayed in the capital nor went on an expedition to Goguryeo, but suppressed thieves in Qilu. Suppressing thieves should be the business of local military and political officials, and now it falls on the head of the king of Qi, which is obviously completely inconsistent with the high political status of the king of Qi in Middle Earth and the political mission he should undertake, and the resulting political influence is self-evident, the king of Qi has fallen, and he has been humiliated in the political government, and the deeper meaning is that the king of Qi was exiled by the government, and the king of Qi was ruthlessly deprived of the qualification of the heir to the imperial throne by the holy lord, and the political status of the king of Qi plummeted.

Judging from the known history, a prince like King Qi who walked to the edge of a cliff has no future unless he has a miracle. Now that the dark clouds are shrouded in the fate of the King of Qi, whether it is the Holy Lord or the prince who has the qualifications to inherit the imperial lineage, or the political opponent in the court, they will all be killers to eradicate this potential huge hidden danger as soon as possible, it is foreseeable that even if the King of Qi does not die, he will be confined for life, like the walking dead, it is better to die in comparison.

On the fourth day of the third month, the Holy Lord completely destroyed the only remaining hope of the King of Qi, destroyed the supposed glorious fate of the King of Qi, and knocked him into dust and hell.

At this moment, Li Zixiong came, everyone is a fallen person on the political team, and they also have to face the political crisis that is directly related to their own survival, at this moment it can be said that the real interests are the same, the real political allies, and in order to tear the haze above their heads, change their dark fate, and reverse the situation, the three of them have to open their hearts, be honest with each other, and fight to the death with the opponents who flock from all directions.

Li Zixiong is highly respected in the military and political circles, and his power and strategy are outstanding, such a powerful bigwig, at the moment when King Qi was most frightened, helpless and injured, he came to his side without hesitation to help, and finally gave him some comfort, although he still can't see hope, but Wei Fusi never gives up, Li Zixiong sacrificed himself to die, and there are two loyal courtiers who are willing to share weal and sorrow with him, life and death, this life is enough.

King Qi slowly calmed down, his sanity gradually recovered, and his bad feelings also improved little by little.

Looking back now, King Qi can't help but cheer for his bold escape from the Eastern Capital, if he hesitated, was afraid, was lucky to the Holy Lord, and did not flee the Eastern Capital, the result at this moment can be imagined, he must have been imprisoned by the Holy Lord, and he completely lost his freedom while desperate, and he did not even have the slightest chance to reverse his fate.

Li Zixiong thanked the King of Qi for his help, if there was no outreach of the King of Qi, he would have used the opportunity to suppress the thieves to rapidly expand his power, posing a threat to the Eastern Capital, forcing the Holy Lord and the Central Committee to make compromises, and he would never have had the possibility of a comeback.

King Qi shook his hand and signaled that Li Zixiong did not need to be polite, "The shape is very critical for us, after the victory of the Second Eastern Crusade, the Holy Lord returns to Beijing, and the first thing to deal with is us." King Qi glanced at Li Zixiong and asked solemnly, "Does Jianchang Gong have a countermeasure?" Loneliness is in danger, and the time left for loneliness to reverse the situation is very short, if Aiqing has a good plan, just play. ”

Li Zixiong pointed to the secret reports from the Eastern Capital scattered on the case, "At the end of February, the Holy Lord issued an order to pardon Yu Wenshu and a large number of other commanders of the Wei Mansion, and allowed them to return to the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition and make meritorious contributions. On the third day of the third month of March, the Holy Lord issued an order to recruit 100,000 men in the customs to build Daxing City. The king should be well aware of the close relationship between these two decrees. ”

Daxing City is the new Chang'an City. At the beginning of the founding of the first emperor, because the old Chang'an city was dilapidated and narrow, and the water pollution was strict, so the new city was rebuilt in the southeast direction of the old Chang'an city, but at the beginning of the founding of the country, the first emperor in the spirit of economy, only in the new city built the imperial city where the central government is located and the palace where the forbidden middle is located, which lasted nine months. As for the outer Guo, although the detailed planning was made, but because the investment was too large, there was no construction, let alone the construction of the city wall, the opinion at that time was to temporarily use the old Chang'an City as the outer Guo, and wait until the country was rich and the people were strong, and the national strength was prosperous, and then the outer Guo was built.

However, the wealth of the people is huge, the aristocratic bureaucrats and the rich, as well as Buddhism and Taoism, took the lead in building mansions and temples in the planned place of the new city, and built a shop pù market

After the death of the first emperor, Jinshang from the construction of the pattern of the unification of the Middle Earth, decided to move the capital to Luoyang, which damaged the fundamental interests of the local aristocratic group in Guanlong, and as a result, it was met with unprecedented huge resistance, but Jinshang and the reformists finally won the support of the Heluo aristocratic group with the old Yue Gong Yang Suwei, coupled with the support of the Shandong people and the Jiangzuo people, Jinshang built a new city on the basis of the old Luoyang City, which is the eastern capital.

Since the eastern capital is the center of power in Middle-earth, the status of Xijing has declined, and the construction of the outer Guo of Daxing City has been put on hold indefinitely, but the local aristocratic group of Guanlong has always resisted the proposal of the Holy Lord to move the capital, even if the Holy Lord forcibly moved the capital and forced all the wealthy families of Guanlong to move to the Eastern Capital, it did not stop the determination of the local aristocratic group of Guanlong to move the power center of Middle-earth back to Xijing.

This time the opportunity has finally come. The defeat of the First Crusade not only caused a heavy military defeat to the Holy Lord and the reformers, but also a complete political defeat, and the Holy Lord and the reformers decided to launch the Second Crusade in order to reverse their disadvantage, which forced them to compromise and make concessions to the conservative forces in the court in exchange for the support of the conservative forces for the Second Crusade. On the third day of the third month of March, the Holy Lord issued an order to build Daxing City with 100,000 men in the Guanzhong, and its political significance was extraordinary. On the surface, this is just to improve the construction of Daxing City and fulfill the last wish of the first emperor, but at this moment, the Eastern Crusade is supreme, and all the national strength must be used on the Eastern Crusade, but the Holy Lord has allocated huge manpower, material and financial resources to build the outer Guo of Daxing City, what is the purpose? Could it be that the construction of the outer kingdom of Daxing City contributed to the victory of the Eastern Crusade? Obviously not, so there is only one political interpretation of this event, the Holy Lord and the reformers made concessions in Xijing's political status, and the unswerving persistence of the local aristocratic group in Guanlong for several years finally paid off, and if nothing else, Xijing defeated the Eastern Capital without any suspense and re-became the power of Middle-earth

However, moving the capital is a major event of the state, related to the rise and fall of the country, and it is impossible for any monarch and the imperial court to move the capital continuously within a few years, which is too great a blow to the authority of the emperor and the imperial court, so this compromise can only stay in words, stay in the top level of power, and stay in some symbolic political events, such as the grand national sacrifice, which is generally held in Beijing, if the holy lord puts the location of the New Year's national sacrifice in Xijing, in Daxing City, That is basically equivalent to recognizing that Xijing is the real capital of the country, a symbol of the imperial power of Middle-earth, and the eastern capital is reduced to the center of state affairs, in other words, the palace city representing the imperial power is located in Daxing City, and the imperial city representing the power (administrative power) is located in the eastern capital.

It follows from this that Yang Yu, the acting king who stayed in Xijing, was the closest to the position of the prince, and Yang Tong, the king of Yue, who stayed in the eastern capital, was far away from the position of the prince in comparison.

By further extension, if the Second Eastern Crusade is victorious, and the Holy Lord and the reformers reverse their military and political inferiority, then it is foreseeable that once the situation at home and abroad stabilizes, the Holy Lord and the central government will refocus their energies on promoting the reform of great unification, and the reformers and conservatives in the court will once again go from compromising and making concessions to-for-tat confrontation or even fighting, and the products of political compromise in this special period will surely come to naught.

Therefore, Li Zixiong made an astonishing conclusion on this, "The Second Eastern Crusade is bound to fail." ”

Qi Wang Yang understood it, and his frustration and despair suddenly improved.

The Second Crusade failed, and the Holy Lord and the reformers suffered another heavy blow, and this time the blow was truly fatal. The national strength of Middle-earth is limited, and it is impossible to support the Holy Lord's crusade year after year, so if the Second Crusade fails, the Third Crusade is basically suicide, and I believe that the Holy Lord and the reformers will not go crazy to the point of suicide.

After the failure of the Second Eastern Crusade, the conservative forces in the court will be able to completely defeat the reformers, and the reformers will inevitably suffer a great purge, and the reform of the great unification will fall into stagnation and regression, but this is secondary to Yang Lan, the king of Qi, the important thing is that Xijing has retained its political status as the capital of the country, and the local aristocratic group in Guanlong is still firmly in control of the fate of the country, and in this favorable context, Yang Lan, the king of Qi, will not be surprised to get their full support and win the final victory in the battle for imperial unity.

Hope is preserved, the key is to persist now, and persistence now requires the right strategy.

Qi King Yang Lan already had a correct strategy, but before he met Li Zixiong and heard Li Zixiong's incisive analysis of the current political situation in the Eastern Capital, he had been doubting the correctness of this strategy, because this strategy came from Li Fengyun.

Li Fengyun predicted as early as last year that there would be a second crusade and that the second crusade would fall short, but this year he still adheres to this prediction and actively implements the plan to expand and expand according to this prediction. Now that Li Zixiong has the same prediction, and has the intention to reverse the situation based on this prediction, what is the specific basis for Li Zixiong?

Qi King Yang Lan suddenly had an ominous premonition, and immediately turned his eyes to look at Wei Fusi, coincidentally, Wei Fusi also happened to look at him, his eyes were full of melancholy. Sure enough, the two had the same mind and the same idea.

Li Fengyun once predicted that the reason for the failure of the Second Eastern Crusade was that there was a mutiny in the Eastern Capital, if this prophecy came true, then who would mutiny? Could it be Li Zixiong? With Li Zixiong's stubborn and firm conservative ideas, his opposition to the reform idea of radical unification, and his hatred of the reformers, he did have the motive to mutiny, and with his huge prestige in both military and political circles and his contacts and resources that he had painstakingly managed for decades, as long as he was given an army, he did have the possibility of capturing the Eastern Capital.

It's just that when Li Zixiong mutinied, he would inevitably hold high the banner of King Yang Lan of Qi, and Li Fengyun predicted that the mutiny would fail quickly, which made King Yang Lan of Qi feel chilled and couldn't help blurting out, "Who wants to mutiny?" ”
