Chapter 494: The Son of Heaven's Southern Tour (I)
Double spring leap month, the March scenery of Chang'an City, is already the time when spring is strong. The peach blossoms in Chang'an City are everywhere, and the tourists are also increasing, and Chang'an City is very lively.
In the imperial capital, the people seem to have learned to be forgetful, and the chaos that occurred in Chang'an City a few months ago has gone away. The new emperor sat firmly on the throne of the emperor, and he did not have much to do with the people, and it would not affect their lives in the slightest.
The situation in Chang'an City has been completely stabilized. Liu Yu did not dare to relax, for several days, he was waiting for the report from the south, and Zhang Wuzhu's war report was transmitted to the north again and again every day, until March 11, the war report stopped, from Zhang Wuzhu's intelligence, now Zhang Wuzhu led a new army of about 600 people to help Yuzhou City, but there was no news outside this Yuzhou City.
It was like a stone sinking into the sea, and I didn't even hear an echo.
The military department immediately became nervous, and the meeting in the past few days was unhurried, and several responsible persons of the military department were also somewhat indifferent to this, but on the afternoon of 11 March, Liu Yu personally carried the holy decree into the yamen of the military department, and Liu Yue had a dark face as if he was about to eat people, and the people of the military department immediately felt the seriousness of the situation.
As a result, the head of the Yamen of the Ministry of War was changed, and the secretary of the Ministry of War was concurrently served by Li Mi, the commander of the Yamen of the General Defense Department of Chang'an City.
Li Mi, as the commander of the Yamen of the General Defense Department of the Second Rank, concurrently served as the secretary of the Ministry of War, and his official promotion to the first rank was already equivalent to the official position of the deputy minister, and it obviously exceeded the original specifications of the Ministry of War. And Li Mi concurrently served as a military general and a civilian post such as the secretary of the military department, which immediately attracted the criticism of the court, and in the afternoon of the same day, Han Sheng, who received the news, immediately entered the palace to see Liu Yu. Trying to change the decision that Liu Yu has already made.
"Brother Liu. I understand your thoughts. Commander Li is indeed a good material for being a secretary of the military department, but if you ask him to resign from the errand of the Yamen of the General Defense Division, why let him do both errands? As soon as Han Sheng saw Liu Yu, he persuaded bitterly.
Liu Yu also understands that the most entangled officials in the imperial court now are military generals who interfere in politics, Li Mi has no performance on the battlefield, and the commander of the Yamen of the General Defense Department is not a military general who conquers cities and territories in the real sense, and it is okay for Liu Yu to appoint him as the secretary of the military department, after all, Li Mi also has experience in leading the military department. Officials are still more disgusted with Liu Yu's cronyism to the point of ignoring the rules. Li Mi actually served as an errand for both civil officials and military generals at the same time!
Liu Yu looked a little careless, and said to Han Sheng: "Brother Han, there is something to tell you in advance, the Son of Heaven is preparing to tour the south. ”
Han Sheng was really taken aback when he heard this, he hadn't received any hints from Liu Yu before, and he didn't see any signs of this, and suddenly Liu Yu said that he would let the new emperor go on a southern tour.
It is basically a rule for the Son of Heaven to sit in the court, and the Son of Heaven will not leave Chang'an City unless there is a major incident, and Chang'an is where the dragon's qi is. Liu Yu let Su Yan out of Chang'an City, and he was trapped in Xuzhou City for two months before he was able to escape. In Han Sheng's opinion, this matter was because the Son of Heaven had lost the protection of the dragon qi.
Han Sheng didn't raise an objection, but just asked cautiously, "You...... What the hell do you think? ”
"Things from the South. Brother Han, have you heard of it? ”
"Naturally, I have heard that the imperial court has sent people to the south one after another, and this matter is also discussed in the court, what is the situation in the south?"
Liu Yu sighed and said: "It's very complicated, and I don't know how to explain it to Brother Han, in short, now the south has to need someone to sit in the town to ensure that there is no chaos in the south!" ”
"Then you let the Son of Heaven go, no, is it your kid who is going?"
Liu Yue said frankly: "Since I can't take care of the affairs of Chang'an City and the south, it is better to take all the people and things I am worried about with me, without other care, it is more convenient for me to do things!" ”
",! Is it the best policy for you to let the Son of Heaven leave Guanzhong? The Son of Heaven does not sit in the court, it has always been a taboo for the stability of the country, and the Son of Heaven is not in the court, so how can we ensure that no one will usurp the throne in a certain dynasty? ”
Liu Yu smiled: "Isn't there still Brother Han here." ”
Han Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, it seems that Liu Yue is ready to drag his family out of Chang'an City and let his old bones guard Chang'an. This scene is very similar to when Liu Yu abducted Su Yan to Luoyang City.
The worst result was that Su Yan did not stay in Luoyang for a long time before going to Xuzhou City, and Liu Yu disappeared without a trace for two months.
"No, I firmly disagree with this matter!" Han Sheng straightened his chest and didn't give in at all, "If you want to go to the south to fight this battle, you let An Neihou go, and the old man will become a prison army, and you will be the ...... And the Son of Heaven can't leave Chang'an City! ”
"Brother Han, you know my temper, and it's useless for you to persuade you to decide. And in my opinion, it's the best choice for me right now. Annehou was not fit to lead his troops into battle. ”
Han Sheng's face was incomprehensible, and now Liu Yu pushed Qi Fang to the position of the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, but said that Qi Fang was not suitable to lead the troops to fight, which was obviously a contradiction.
Liu Yu didn't explain much, and he didn't try to persuade Han Sheng to get his consent, Liu Yu was in front of him a map of the southern march, the mountains and rivers were clearly marked, and Liu Yu used a cinnabar pen to mark a lot of points and lines on the map, and Han Sheng looked at the necessary route from Wuling to Lingnan.
"You kid, you have a plan, don't you? No wonder you have been asking officials in Chang'an City in the south lately, and you are also going to some businessmen who are going to Nantong to trade, are you going to Lingnan in person? ”
Liu Yu sighed: "I can't get over the specifics, I haven't thought about it yet." This time, I took the Son of Heaven on a southern tour, and the destination was not Lingnan, but to Jiankang City, and then I would decide whether to go south in person, but here I can assure Brother Han that I will not bring the Son of Heaven to Lingnan. ”
Han Sheng thought about it, and finally nodded after the most reluctance, he seemed to understand Liu Yu's intentions.
Liu Yu didn't dare to leave Qi'er in Chang'an City, first, because Qi'er's biggest reliance was on him Liu Yu, without Liu Yu by his side, Qi'er couldn't stabilize the overall situation when she encountered setbacks, and as long as Qi'er left Chang'an City to the south, then Qi'er would stay away from the potential enemy who competed with her for the throne, although Chang'an City is where the dragon qi is, but it is also where the core of power is, if you want to rebel, the starting point is definitely in Chang'an City.
"So, you're going to let the kid surnamed Li take charge of the garrison of Chang'an City?"
"Hmm." Liu Yu nodded again and said, "An Neihou will set off with Luan to the south and go to Jiankang City together, and at the same time there will be most of the daughter army and the new army. ”
Liu Yu said that Qi Fang was not suitable for leading troops, but he wanted to bring Qi Fang by his side, which was obviously a move with suspicion. Han Sheng understands Liu Yu's personality very well, although Liu Yu seems to trust everyone around him, but at the same time, he doesn't believe anyone except himself, and now it is the last battle that is related to the stability of the world, Liu Yu must bow down to settle down.
At the same time, Han Sheng could also feel that compared to Qi Fang's brother-in-law, Liu Yu believed in an outsider, an old friend who had known him in the market.
Li Mi. (To be continued......)
