Chapter 449: The Grievances of the Two Cities

Everyone was speechless, and even the young Yue King Yang Tong felt that Wei Jin, the servant of the Ministry, had gone too far.

The contradiction between the eastern capital and Xijing is too great, behind the relocation of the capital is not only the redistribution of power and wealth, but also the loss of the interests of the Guanlong aristocratic group and the Guanlong region, the fierce game between the Guanlong people, the Shandong people and the Jiangzuo people, or a strong collision between reform and conservatism, centralization and the clan system, so although the capital has been moved, and even the capital has been moved for almost ten years, because the core contradiction between reform and conservatism is getting bigger and bigger, the Guanlong people have tried their best to obstruct it, plus the holy lord has gone south and north again and again to inspect the Quartet, The central government has never been able to fully concentrate its energy on the matter of moving the capital, and many detailed and fundamental tasks have not been completed, and even some work has not been officially launched because of too much resistance, resulting in the formation of a political abnormality of coexistence between the two capitals.

The political aberration of the coexistence of the two capitals can be understood in a sense that the city, the forbidden center, and the central government office have all gone to the eastern capital, and the people have also gone to the eastern capital, but the heart remains in Xijing, which is just a shell, and Xijing is the soul. This kind of political compromise cannot simply be understood as the redistribution of power and wealth by the three major political groups of Guanlong, Shandong, and Jiangzuo, nor can it be understood as the price that must be paid for reform, still less can it be interpreted as a process that must be experienced in the development and growth of Middle Earth, but as an artificial separation and damage to the authority of the state. After more than 400 years of division and war, Middle-earth has just been reunified, although it is well fed and clothed, but it is still far from recovering its vitality, and it is still very weak after all, and any improper treatment for quick success or pulling out seedlings will deal a fatal blow to it.

In the face of the current situation, Dongdu's idea is that when I solve the internal and external troubles and win a long-term and relatively stable domestic and foreign environment, I will start to eradicate the chronic disease of Xijing, and Xijing has never given up reclaiming what belongs to him, so Xijing's idea is to try to spare no effort to make every effort to take advantage of the opportunities that can be used to continuously destroy the political environment at home and abroad, and finally achieve the goal of destroying the Eastern Capital.

Today's crisis in the eastern capital is essentially due to the fierce contradictions and conflicts between the two capitals, and the initiator is Xijing, which is the driving force behind the crisis and the source of the crisis.

If Dongdu represents reform, radicalism, rebirth and future, then Xijing represents rejuvenation, conservatism, decay and decline. Yang Xuangan, Hongnong Yang, and the Heluo aristocratic group to which they belong are essentially conservative and decadent, and they are the representatives of the interests of Xijing's political affairs, so in the eyes of Dongdu, Yang Xuangan and the rebellious alliance with him are completely consistent with Xijing's interests.

Now Wei Jin has publicly proposed to go to Xijing for help, what is his mind? Just now, he still questioned Fan Zigai with words, but he saw Yang Xuangan under the eastern capital, and prevented him from truthfully reporting to the Holy Lord, but in a blink of an eye, he said that the eastern capital was in danger, and he was going to Xijing for help. Old guy, you change your face faster than you turn a book, is there a bottom line?

Yang Tong, the king of Yue, gave Yang Gongren a look of help, and he didn't know how to reply to Wei Jin.

Yang Gongren sighed secretly. Wei Jin is the son of Wei Xiaokuan, the founding father, the backbone of Guanzhong Wei, his words and deeds in the Eastern Capital represent the interests of Guanzhong Wei, in fact, it also represents the position of Xijing, and it can be seen from Wei Jin's actions that Xijing has been ready to wait until the "big drama" in the Eastern Capital is staged.

At the same time, it is certain that with Wei Jin's departure from Beijing, rumors will also be rampant, and the nobles and bureaucrats of the Eastern Capital will definitely be moved to escape from the Eastern Capital as soon as possible and take refuge in Xijing, which will soon become an empty city. The eastern capital fell into chaos, which will inevitably affect the eastern capital's persistence, and after the eastern capital nobles fled, the eastern capital also lost a large number of "quality duties", Yang Xuangan can let go of the wild attack without scruples, Xijing, the military and even local officials are also happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight on the wall with a relaxed attitude, so the possibility of the fall of the eastern capital is greatly increased, once the eastern capital is destroyed and becomes a ruin, the purpose of Xijing has been achieved. It's so calculating, it looks like it's all under Xijing's control.

Yang Gongren chucked slightly.

"Good" Yue Wang Yang Tong waved his small hand, "Then it's hard Wuyang Gong." ”

On the sixth day of the sixth month of June, Hebei, Hejian County, Jingcheng, and Hebei were arrested and the ambassadors camped.

Now there are more than 6,000 Hebei soldiers in the camp, which proves that the appeal of Boling Cui and Cui Hongsheng in Hebei is still very large, and the nine counties north of Yongji Canal have given Cui Hongsheng active support, while the five counties south of Yongji Canal are too rampant and have no heart, but they need Cui Hongsheng's help. But Hebei's resources are limited after all, and the two eastern crusades have almost exhausted Hebei's manpower, material and financial resources, so that when the counties south of the Yongji Canal have not been able to effectively provide relief even after natural disasters, the result of rebellions has broken out one after another, and natural disasters have dealt a heavy blow to Hebei.

However, whether it is the Holy Lord, the Central Hub or the Eastern Capital, they are all very dissatisfied with the situation in Hebei that has not improved for a long time, and they are very dissatisfied with the repeated injustices of Hebei traitors, and they are even more desperate to put pressure on Cui Hongsheng, the ambassador of Hebei, but Cui Hongsheng is unmoved, he is a native of Hebei, and he must put Hebei's interests first, and he cannot uncontrollably "knock on the bones and suck the marrow" to put Hebei to death.

However, when Yang Xuan was moved by the mutiny, and the situation in Hebei, Dongdu and even the entire Middle Earth changed, the drawbacks of this "conservative" strategy adhered to by Cui Hongsheng were fully revealed. If he has an army of 20,000 or 30,000 under his account, he can not hesitate to go south to quell the rebellion, and take Liyang in one go, which can not only ensure the interests of Hebei, but also make meritorious contributions easily, but now his troops are limited, and he can't take Liyang, so he can only stand aside and "stare", watching the situation deteriorate, helpless, this consequence will be severe, whether the Holy Lord will investigate his crimes in the future is secondary, the important thing is that he does not have strong enough strength to deter some ill-intentioned people in Hebei, Once these people took the opportunity to confuse the situation in Hebei and increase the damage of this mutiny to Middle-earth, Cui Hongsheng could not escape the blame.

Therefore, when the news of Yang Xuangan's rebellion in Liyang on the third day of the junior high school reached the ambassador's camp, some aristocratic bureaucrats panicked and complained about Cui Hongsheng's conservative measures in the early stage. For the sake of your reputation, you did not want to offend the local forces, but you were too merciful and had too much mercy on the grass mustard ants, leaving room for everything, and as a result, you changed your form and became passive, not only failed to take care of the interests of the majority of people, but brought disaster to the whole of Hebei.

Cui Hongsheng was calm and composed, as if he had long expected that his conservative strategy would be criticized, and he always remained silent, while the aristocratic bureaucrats around him complained and complained, but no one urged him to make a decision immediately, because You Yuan, the secretary and servant, was in Liyang, whether You Yuan was active or passive or even forcibly held hostage to participate in this mutiny, it would bring immeasurable damage to Hebei, so in a hurry, Cui Hongsheng couldn't come up with a countermeasure at all, and could only wait anxiously for the exact news about You Yuan

That night, the news that You Yuan was killed by Yang Xuangan spread to Xingying, Cui Hongsheng was furious and shot the case, but the aristocratic bureaucrats around him were greatly relieved, happy, sad, and angry, they were very puzzled, I don't know why Yang Xuangan killed You Yuan, why he openly turned against the Hebei people at the beginning of the army, why he had to make a strong enemy for himself, this is too incredible, a living You Yuan means that Yang Xuangan can control more initiative, but for Cui Hongsheng and the Hebei people, it is a disaster, Such a simple truth is clear to even an idiot, Yang Xuangan turned a blind eye? There is absolutely no way, Yang Xuangan will not only not kill You Yuan, but will do his best to save his life, so You Yuan must not be killed by Yang Xuangan, but someone else.

Who will kill Yu Yuan? From the analysis of the current situation, if Yang Xuangan wants to mutiny, the best period should be July, when the Holy Lord and the expeditionary force besieged Pyongyang, and at this moment, the rainy season in the Far East has just come, the war is a little slow, the Holy Lord and the expeditionary force have not yet crossed the Yalu water, once there is a change in the country, they can react quickly, so the beginning of June is the most inappropriate time for Yang Xuangan to raise troops, but Yang Xuangan raised troops, the only explanation is that he was forced to do it, and You Yuan's death must be one of the reasons why he had to raise troops in advance.

You Yuan was ordered to sit in Liyang with Yang Xuangan to supervise the grain and grass, his main task is to supervise and rectify the impeachment, and he must report to the Holy Lord and the Eastern Capital every day, and there must be an agreement to keep it secret during the special period, as soon as You Yuan dies, the contact is severed, and this matter cannot be hidden, and then Liyang becomes the "focus", and Yang Xuangan, who is planning a mutiny, has no way to hide his secrets, only to raise troops in advance.

Yang Xuangan mutiny at the most inappropriate time, the chance of success of the mutiny is small, so who wants to put Yang Xuangan to death? This person not only knows Yang Xuangan's secret, but also carefully makes a "game", and Yang Xuangan is a bait in this "game", so what kind of big fish does this person want to catch? You Yuan is also a key chess piece in this "game", kill him, this game of chess will immediately come to life, and in today's world, who has the ability to use Yang Xuangan as bait, You Yuan as a chess piece, and play between the palms?

Cui Hongsheng naturally became one of the objects of suspicion, because it was obvious that Yang Xuangan went straight to the Eastern Capital after raising his troops, and he was bound to provoke a war of imperial unification, and there are only a few big families in China who are deeply involved in the battle for imperial unification, and all of them are the objects of suspicion.

The situation was dangerous, complicated, and unpredictable, and the atmosphere in the ambassador's camp was extremely depressing.

Cui Hongsheng made a decision to pull out the camp overnight, and 100,000 people rushed to Liyang to quell the rebellion.

He also urgently called the police to the wealthy families in Shandong, and the local Haowang in Hebei, especially the nobles of Handan and Qinghe, issued a solemn warning, and must restrain the thieves of Taihang and Qinghe, do not participate in this mutiny, and do not take advantage of the fire to rob and poison Hebei, otherwise you will bear the consequences.

He also hurriedly played the Holy Lord and the Imperial Palace, telling Yang Xuan that he had rebelled, You Yuan was killed, and the Yongji Canal had been interrupted.

He also asked Duan Da, who was left behind in Zhuo County, for help, and implored Duan Da to immediately dispatch troops and go south to the eastern capital to quell the rebellion.
