Chapter 367: The Ninth Year of Jian'an (3) 1/4
Liu Chuang, dumbfounded!
To be honest, it is a good thing for Sima Yi to start a family, and Liu Chuang is also very much in favor of it.
Men, if you have a home, you can be more stable, I believe that Sima Fang knows about it, and he will not object. It's just that when he heard Zhuge Liang say the woman's name, he was startled. Who is Guo Huan? Liu Chuang didn't know. But the name Queen Guo, he has some impressions.
Isn't that Cao Pi's wife, the later Empress Wendeguo?
Historically, when Cao Cao was the king of Wei, Guo Huan had to enter the East Palace.
Later, Cao Pi ascended the throne, and Guo Huan became his wife, and later became a noble concubine. After the death of Empress Zhen, that is, in the third year of Huang Chu, Guo Huan became the queen. Later, Zhen Mi's son Cao Rong ascended the throne, Guo Huan was the queen mother, called Yu Yong'an Gong, and died in the third year of Qinglong, that is, in 235 AD.
According to the Book of Wei, Empress Wende was frugal and not good at music, and she often admired Empress Han Mingde Ma as a person.
On the whole, Guo Huan's evaluation in history is not low.
However, due to the admiration of Zhen Mi in later generations, Guo Huan's reputation was not very good.
Liu Chuang knew the origin of Queen Guo, so he was very surprised!
It's messed up, it seems like it's all messed up......
How did Guo Huan and Sima Yi get together?
But it's not surprising to think about it.
In history, the reason why Guo Huan was able to enter the East Palace was because Cao Cao set the capital of Yecheng. And now, although Cao Cao has conquered Yecheng, he has not gained a firm foothold. What about Cao Pi? was also driven to Hailing for exile because of the recommendation of Xiahou Nan. Sima Yi planned Yecheng, and traveled frequently to Yecheng, so it is not surprising that he and Guo Huan met. The most important thing is that Sima Yi seems to appreciate this Guo Huan......
The two are of the same age, which is quite suitable.
Although the Guo family is in the middle of the road, it is also the home of the official eunuch after all.
After a while, Liu Chuang calmed down. Shaking his head and smiling bitterly. This is a bad debt, I'm afraid it's not clear! Zhen Mi became his wife, while Guo Huan married Sima Yi. Even that Mrs. Sun is now married to Zhuge Liang. It's really a mess. Since Liu Chuang's rebirth, he has not only changed the general trend of the world, but also changed the fate of many people.
It's hard to say whether this matter is good or bad, and Sima Yi likes it. If you marry, you will marry......
"Well, then you send someone to talk to her family, and return to Yanjing together in a few days.
It is estimated that Zhongda will also return to Yanjing to report on his work, and he just happened to handle this matter. I have a matter on my mind. ”
Zhuge Liang heard this, and hurriedly bowed down.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In the middle of December of the eighth year of Jian'an, Liu Chuang pacified Yecheng. He ordered to return to Yanjing.
Xu Sheng. Bai Wei County guarded and stationed troops in Neihuang to prevent Cao Cao's sneak attack. At the same time, Xiao Ling was appointed as the captain of Yecheng to assist Xu Sheng in pacifying Wei County. However, after Jizhou was defeated, Liu Chuang also faced a problem. Zhuge Liang built yì to him and moved the capital to Yecheng.
Yecheng City University. It is also located in Jizhou, operated by Yuan Shao, and is quite prosperous.
Although it has gone through several major wars, the overall situation in Yecheng has not changed much...... The population has decreased somewhat, but compared to other places, it still belongs to Hebei's political economy and military center. Zhuge Liang's construction is not without purpose. Historically, Cao Cao built the capital in Yecheng and achieved the foundation of Cao Wei. But for some reason, Liu Chuang has some resistance to Yecheng.
Although Yecheng is good, it is too easy to be affected by the war, and secondly, this place is very evil.
Yuan Shao died in Yecheng, and Cao Wei built the capital of Yecheng, which was only a flash in the pan in the end...... Liu Chuang is not the kind of person who is very superstitious, but when he thinks of this, he still feels that the foundation of Yecheng is not stable enough. Coupled with the thought of the great emperor in his later generations, he never forgot Yanjing. That's right, although Youzhou is bitterly cold, and the scale of Yanjing is not large enough, but after all, it was built by him.
"Kong Ming, it's not that I don't listen to your advice, it's really that this Yecheng is not what I think.
This side has experienced a series of major wars, and if you come from Youzhou rashly, it will inevitably increase a lot of burden. I also know that you want me to strengthen the hearts of scholars in Yecheng. But......
In this way, I worship Xun Chen for the history of Jizhou, but the heart of Jizhou. ”
Xun Chen, one of Liu Chuang's three masterminds, is also Liu Chuang's father-in-law.
The most important thing is that he has played in Jizhou before, and his reputation in Jizhou is not low. Let him sit in Jizhou, just like Liu Chuang came, and it can also play a role in appeasing the people.
Although Zhuge Liang didn't know why Liu Chuang was reluctant to come to Jizhou, he didn't understand why he attached so much importance to Yanjing.
But since Liu Chuang said so, it is naturally difficult for him to continue to persuade.
The second phase of the Yanjing project has ended, and a new city built around the General's Mansion has been connected to the old city, and the area has been expanded by at least two times. In this year, although the war continued, the population of Yanjing continued to increase.
According to October statistics, the population of Yanjing now exceeds 100,000.
And with the further expansion of the city, it can accommodate a population of nearly 300,000.
Perhaps, this scale cannot be compared with Luoyang Chang'an, but in a certain way, it can already be compared with the scale of Xudu and Yecheng.
Next, as long as it continues to develop, Yanjing will inevitably become the largest city in the north.
What's more, the third phase of the Yanjing project has already been planned.
It is said that the third phase of the project will be merged into Changping, and the size of the city will be tripled on the existing basis. If this is the case, the whole of Yanjing can reach the scale of Luoyang and Chang'an, and may even surpass Luoyang and Chang'an to become the largest city.
This will also benefit the stability and prosperity of northern Xinjiang.
Zhuge Liang knew very well that Liu Chuang's next step would inevitably be to focus on the Central Plains, and his attention to the northern Xinjiang would be weakened. The timely expansion of Yanjing will help strengthen the confidence of the people of Youzhou and Bingzhou, and further consolidate Liu Chuang's rule.
Youzhou is the foundation where Liu Chuang really started, and there must be no deviation.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang felt that he seemed to understand Liu Chuang's true intentions......
"Bai Xun Gong is the history of Jizhou Thorn, which is indeed the most suitable.
It's just that in this way, the General's Mansion will inevitably be understaffed. Mr. Yuan Chang went to Liangzhou, and Xu Yu is now sitting in the plain. And if Mr. Xun leaves the General's Mansion, I'm afraid that the power in the General's Mansion will be weakened, isn't this a little inappropriate? ”
Yes, the three masterminds. Xun Chen is the assassin of Jizhou, and Xu Shu will return to Liangzhou after getting married.
Zhuge Liang was left alone, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of pressure.
Who knows. Liu Chuang smiled!
"Rest assured, the strength of the Great General's Mansion will not only not be weakened, but will increase a little more."
"Oh?"
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he immediately became interested.
"Could it be that Brother Fei has recruited some capable people and wise men again?"
Let's be honest. Zhuge Liang admires Liu Chuang's vision very much.
It can be said that none of these talents he recruited are idle people. The departure of Xun Chen and Zhong Xuan also seems to indicate a replacement between the old and the new. Zhuge Liang was very interested, and he didn't know who Liu Chuang would choose. to replenish the power of the General's Mansion.
Liu Chuang didn't answer Zhuge Liang's question, just smiled.
In fact, he was very surprised when he got the news...... If he hadn't received this message before. It is estimated that it will not be decided lightly. Send Xun Chen to sit in Yecheng.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Starting from Yecheng, go all the way north.
The speed of the return journey was very fast, and Liu Chuang led a total of 5,000 people from the Flying Xiongwei and Tiger Ben Army, all the way through the state.
In order to avoid publicity, he has sent people to inform local officials along the way, and it is forbidden to mobilize the people to come to greet him. Or rather, he didn't have the heart to stay in those places. Because. He got the news that Lu Lan was about to give birth. Counting the days, Lu Lan's pregnancy should be around March, just on the eve of Liu Chuang's departure from Yanjing and the decisive battle with Cao Cao in Guanjin. Lu Lan and Liu Chuang have known each other for six years, from a slim little girl to an adult. It is precisely because of this that Lu Bu has personally gone to Yanjing to take care of Lu Lan.
If Liu Chuang didn't go back earlier, he was afraid that he would miss the date......
As for the provinces along the way, there is no need for Liu Chuang to pay too much attention.
The battle of Jizhou was mainly concentrated in Zhao and Wei, and other places were not affected. After a year of development, the three counties of Zhongshan Hejian and Changshan have tended to be stable, and Liu Chuang does not need to spend his thoughts. Next, how to develop Jizhou is Xun Chen's work. Liu Chuang didn't want to meddle too much, and he also believed that with Xun Chen's ability, he would definitely be able to govern Jizhou.
On December 26, after more than ten days of traveling, Liu Chuang led his troops and finally arrived in Jixian County.
To Zhuge Liang's surprise, he saw an extremely familiar face in the crowd of people greeted him in Jixian County.
Frustrated?
Seeing the frustration, Zhuge Liang seemed to understand something all of a sudden.
No wonder my brother boldly appointed Xun Chen to the post of Jizhou Assassin, and it turned out that he was frustrated to take over, which was a surprise.
When it comes to talent, there is no need to question the ability to impart.
His talent and ability are not inferior to Xun Chen, but even surpass.
Previously, Fu Zhu had been reluctant to go out of the mountain, and Hetian Feng served as the head of the mountain in the Yanjing Academy. Although Liu Chuang invited him several times, he was unwilling to agree. The reason, in addition to some reasons for Yuan Shao at the beginning, there are also reasons why he can't pull down. If you are dozens of years old, you will change your owner three times, and your reputation will inevitably not be good. But this time, why did he agree to go out of the mountain? Zhuge Liang was also very curious.
He didn't believe that it was a coincidence that he came to Jixian County, and he didn't believe that he was just here to greet Liu Chuang.
Liu Chuang returned triumphantly, and the appearance of frustration here is a problem.
"Ziyi was defeated in Neihuang before, which made Gong and Mr. very dissatisfied.
On the one hand, Mr. Gong and Mr. are afraid that Ziyi will be affected by this; On the other hand, it was also the persuasion of the father-in-law again and again, and the father came to the hospital with illness last month, and finally made the prince and Mr. agree to go out of the mountain, don't drive for me in Youzhou, the post of the head of the general's mansion. ”
In other words, Fu Zhi only appeared as Liu Chuang's staff.
Zhuge Liang was stunned at first, and then immediately understood the intention of frustration......
The General's Mansion is now facing a replacement of the old and the new. The rise of Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others has indicated that they will become the main force in the future. This time he went out of the mountain just to assist Liu Chuang, but he would not participate in the struggle for power and profit in the general's mansion. And this is also to appease Zhuge Liang and others, so that they don't have to worry about how their status and power will be affected because of this.
Still, is it just a frustration?
Zhuge Liang faintly felt that in this alternation of the old and the new, there would inevitably be a huge personnel change in the General's Mansion......
Once this personnel adjustment is over, it will also represent Liu Chuang's dominance in Hebei, and no one can shake it!
Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang showed a thoughtful expression......
