In 198, after Sun Jian on December 30, Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei of Yizhou also officially announced that they would be vassals to Liu Tai, and jointly expressed the hope that Liu Tai would be called emperor as soon as possible. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoNow that the Han Dynasty has been completely unified, the Han Emperor Liu Miao has lost his trace for some reason, and Liu Tairuo is no longer the emperor, which is a bit unpopular with the people.
And when Liu Miao received an invitation from the Quartet to play the title of emperor, he did not express any views and opinions, even if Guo Jia, Lu Zhi and others who accompanied him asked, he just said lightly: Let go of this in advance, and talk about it after returning to Huacheng.
Not being called emperor does not mean that Liu Tai does not want to be the emperor, but because the biggest dispute at present has been transferred to the issue of Yanjing. You must know that Liu Tai's original intention was to set the capital of Huacheng, but the people below are not clear, especially some old courtiers who are more attached to Luoyang and Chang'an, and they are very eager to return Liu Tai to Luoyang or Chang'an.
To put it bluntly, these people are still doing it for their own benefit. You must know that there have always been few famous generals in the north, and there are even fewer celebrities. Most of the officials in the DPRK today are people from Chang'an, the western capital, or Shandong, and these people naturally want the country to be close to their hometowns.
As the saying goes, those who are close to the capital are close to the son of heaven.
There are also sayings: "Shanxi is a general, and Shandong is a minister." ”
As for the North? Well, there are some big figures, such as Lu Zhi and others who were born in Zhuo County, but the problem is that Lu Zhi and other individual figures have very little say in the court, and they can't change the overall situation at all.
It can be felt from the historical changes of Chang'an and Luoyang. In the past, the capital of the Han Dynasty was Chang'an, and the generals were absolutely strong, and there were even people like Wang Mang who wielded power. The capital was Luoyang, and the scholars in Shandong rose completely, completely controlling the government and almost overthrowing the Han Dynasty.
In any case, both Chang'an and Luoyang are potentially dangerous. But the officials don't seem to care much about these things, if they are unified today, these so-called heroes naturally have to think about their own interests, and in the face of absolute interests, what kind of friendship among colleagues has been established is completely nonsense.
Liu Tai is annoying, really annoying. In the face of hundreds of officials, the matter of returning the capital was raised again and again, and the upset people didn't want to go back to Hwaseong very much. But thinking of his wives and concubines and children in the Hwaseong Palace, Liu Tai was a little homesick.
So at this moment, Liu Tai is conflicted in his heart, but the things that should be faced are really to be faced, Liu Tai can't escape even if he wants to, Liu Tai knows this very well, so Liu Tai didn't have too much trouble, he didn't even stop halfway, and went all the way to Huacheng.
Since the world has been completely unified, the gate lord clan who originally wanted to jump can be said to be completely quiet at this time. The Shi clan gate valve, which has been seriously weakened for so many years, can no longer affect the situation at all. It stands to reason that moving the capital is such a big thing, how could those gate lords not jump out? But this time, except for the controversy of hundreds of officials, there is almost no figure of the gate lord clan.
But for smart people, the figure of the gate lord clan can still be seen. Just imagine, aren't today's court officials the epitome of the gate lord clan? You must know that although Liu Tai does not advocate direct fiefdom, the status that should be given, gold and silver are even better than those of the previous dynasty, and under such conditions, a large group of gate lords and scholars naturally gathered behind the hundred officials to flatter and use the hands of hundreds of officials to do the thing of fighting for power and profit.
Liu Tai is very clear about this, but in a short period of time, Liu Tai can't completely eliminate the influence of the gate lord clan. You must know that the existence of the gate lord clan has been very long, not to mention the incident of more than ten years, even if Liu Tai is in the end, he may not be able to completely eliminate the gate lord clan.
Liu Tai was very angry, and he was really dissatisfied with the recent situation of those old courtiers. can Liu Tai's surname, and he can't do the things of Gaozu and Zhu Yuanzhang, you must know that nine out of ten of the hundred officials in the court today are heroes who follow Liu Tai step by step to conquer the world.
The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook, it is too difficult and too difficult for Liu Tai. Liu Tai couldn't do it, in fact, long before the third southern expedition, Xun Yu, who was the prime minister of the dynasty, sent a memo to Liu Tai, which contained almost all the things committed by hundreds of officials in private.
According to Xun Yu himself, this letter was not collected by Xun Yu personally, but was sorted out and handed over to Xun Yu by Jia Xu, who is now in charge of all intelligence organizations, and jointly sent to Liu Tai with Xun Yu. Liu Tai knew that with Jia Xu's real surname, it was already rare to be able to sort out this letter and send it to Liu Tai, because Jia Xu was too wise to protect himself, and such a threatening thing could be done, completely because Liu Tai completely controlled Jia Xu's weaknesses, otherwise, how could Jia Xu be so concerned?
With Jia Xu's current status in the court, it can be said that he is second only to Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Huang Zhong and a limited number of ministers, but even so, Jia Xu still does not dare to blatantly send this recital, you can imagine how appalling the content of this recital is.
When Liu Tai read this letter for the first time, it can be said that it caused a monstrous anger. But then Liu Tai endured it, because Liu Tai knew very well that the content of this compromise was too appalling, and if it was really dealt with in accordance with the criminal law, nearly half of the officials in the entire court would be sent to prison for life.
In the final analysis, the law does not hold the public accountable.
Of course, it is impossible for Liu Tai to just ignore them, and those officials who have committed more serious crimes are either transferred to poor and remote areas, or secretly expelled them from the core of power by some means of promotion and descent. Although these actions have led to almost a great turmoil in the court, at least some of the moths have been cleaned up, haven't they?
What makes Liu Tai happy is that there are not some officials that Liu Tai values the most, such as Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Chen Gong, Tian Feng and other figures are not listed. Although the family behind Huang Zhong's ministers is more or less faulty, he has no problem, which makes Liu Tai very pleased.
As for the disposal of some of the remaining officials, Liu Tai has not completely forgotten that when he returned to Huacheng this time, Liu Tai was ready to deal with it, although it was a bit unkind to say that the emperor did these things before he said that he was a little unkind, after all, even if they made a big mistake, they were also heroes of the imperial court and the world, and they had paid undeniable sweat to the country, but Liu Tai couldn't swallow the breath in his heart.
If he ascends to the throne like this, then Liu Tai's heart will definitely not be happy, and Liu Tai is not happy, so the hundred officials will not think about being comfortable, in this case, why not deal with it before the incident continues to deteriorate?
It is worth mentioning that Huang Zhong, who was in Yinan, also led the army to return north this month, because Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du evacuated Yinan, in the Yinan area, the Tianci Army did not have enough opponents to match, as for the Southern Barbarian Army led by Meng Huo, under the repeated blows of the Tianci Army, it can be described as miserable.
Although the Nanban army can also be called an army, its combat strength is simply different from that of the Tianci army, which is familiar with mountain warfare, especially after Liu Tai sent Zhuge Liang from Yanzhou to Yinan to assist, the gap between them has widened.
The defeat of the Nanban was an obvious result, but because of the long-term integration of the Nanban and the Han people, Liu Tai did not order the complete destruction of the Nanban caves, but chose the method of mutual symbiosis to continue to survive, but the Han people who had lived in Yunnan, Jianning and other places changed their status after this war.
In the past, the Nanban natives in these areas were very strong, even if Gongsun Chan and Gongsun Du ruled the two places for nearly ten years, they still had to deal with the problem of Nanban carefully, as the ruler Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chan were like this, you can imagine how bad the situation of the people below will be.
However, this battle of the Tianci army will be the Nanban natives can not raise their heads, completely so that the Han people have enough confidence, in front of the Nanban natives, the Han people no longer have to claim the identity of outsiders, as for the Nanban side, Meng Shu is also a bold character, even if he loses, he is completely lost. Meng Shu also knew very well that if he continued to entangle with the Tianci Army, he would most likely end up in a miserable situation of extermination.
Meng Huo is not a fool!
Isn't it enough that the Southern Xiongnu, Northern Xiongnu, Xianbei and other foreign tribes have learned from the past? Meng Huo would not choose to repeat the mistakes of these tribes, so Meng Huo chose to surrender very well, and completely surrendered, including Meng Huo, a large group of Nanban leaders, all of whom went to Huacheng to be sealed because of Liu Tai's edict.
Of course, the situation in Nanban is different from Liu Tai's treatment of the Western Regions in the past, after all, although the Nanban natives are called indigenous, they are no different from the Han people except for the problem of clothing, and because of Meng Shu's last heartfelt heart to Zhuge Liang in history, Liu Tai also has a good impression of Meng Shu, so that Meng Shu will naturally not have any security problems, and it is even possible to get a lot of benefits in front of Liu Tai.
It is worth mentioning that when the Nanban was defeated on all fronts, Liu Tai inadvertently mentioned the name of Mrs. Zhurong. Liu Tai himself forgot about it after mentioning it, but the summoned messenger kept the matter in his heart deeply, and it reached the ears of Zhuge Liang and Huang Zhong.
Zhuge Liang and Huang Zhong are extremely smart characters, since this so-called Mrs. Zhurong can make Liu Tai fall in love, she is definitely a beautiful woman like a fairy, and her name is obviously a native of the Southern Barbarians. In the eyes of the two, since Liu Tai chose to coexist with Nanban, then the two sides naturally need a credential, if Mrs. Zhurong can be Liu Tai's woman, wouldn't everything be fine?
And the most important thing is that after the investigation of the two, Mrs. Zhurong actually learned that she was still a little girl who was less than eighteen years old, and she was still a woman who admired Liu Tai very much, and most importantly, this woman had a very high position among the Nanban natives, and her family belonged to the Meng clan second only to Meng Shu.
After getting such good news, Zhuge Liang and Huang Zhong naturally smiled, and the most satisfying thing for the two was that when the two expressed their desire to send Zhu Rong to Huacheng to meet Liu Tai, Zhu Rong actually had no objections, and also revealed a rare little daughter
