Chapter Twenty-Three: Please Enter Beijing
The dark war of the family in the north is still continuing, this is by no means something that can be stopped in a short time, for those big families, even if the grain is not sold to Li Xuan, it is just one less way to make profits, as for the materials of the grassland, even if there is no supply from Li Xuan's side, it can also be obtained from the Wuhuan, Xianbei remnants and the Xiongnu, unless Li Xuan can annex the entire grassland in one go, it is impossible to form a real welcome to them, and Li Xuan has two major planes as a basis, The Northland family's plan to limit itself will naturally fail.
Time passed rapidly in the see-saw stalemate between the two sides, until an edict came from Luoyang, which completely disrupted Li Xuan's rhythm.
"Protecting the Huns Zhonglang General Li Xuan, defending the border has meritorious, and capturing Danhan Mountain in one fell swoop, which is a rare miracle since the founding of the Han Dynasty, and Li Xuan is specially promoted to the general of Zhenbei, the Marquis of Wucheng, and on the day of the order, he will enter Beijing on the day to be rewarded, and there must be no mistake."
Huangmen Zuo Feng read the holy decree, handed over the holy decree to Li Xuan, and said with a wry smile: "General Li, don't blame, let the prince do his best in this matter, but His Majesty also has to consider the opinions of the General's Mansion and a cadre of famous people Qingliu, this matter is a joint performance of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and His Majesty Xià does not want Qingliu to join forces with the general to break the balance in the court now, so that the general can only be wronged, so that the public can do it, and can only help the general to keep the foundation laid by this fortunate foundation from being robbed by those sanctimonious hypocrites." ”
Time has changed, but now Zuo Feng no longer dares to be powerful in front of Li Xuan, not to mention that Li Xuan's current status is a general who expands the territory, and he is also a celebrity in front of Zhang Rang, but he is not a character who can be bullied at will by his little yellow door.
"In addition, before the villain came here, let the prince specially ask the villain and the general to explain Luoyang. The general just has to go, as long as he lets the public stay for a day, no one will dare to embarrass the general. In the end, Zuo Feng said cautiously.
"Father-in-law Zuo has been tired from the journey, so let's rest for two days first." In this regard, Li Xuan was noncommittal. instructed his subordinates to take Zuo Feng down to entertain him.
In this regard, Zuo Feng did not refuse, although the edict said that he would leave immediately on the day of the order, but the emperor was far away, and he wanted to delay it for a few days, and there were many excuses, no one would really pursue it.
"Lord, Luoyang can't go, this understands that some people are jealous of the lord's merits. Secretly calculating the lord! Sending away the little yellow door Zuo Feng, in the hall, Li Shan suddenly got up, and said with a somewhat gloomy face.
Zhou Yi nodded and said: "What Li Shan said is right, this time the emperor summoned him, I am afraid that he may not have any good intentions, since ancient times, the merit has been high." The rabbit died and the dog cooked, and the Han royal family has done it a lot. Now, I'm afraid it's the same old trick! The lord is now dominant, even if he refuses to obey the edict, the court has no way to take the lord, but if the lord goes to Luoyang, I am afraid that the tiger will be bound. Dragon Trapped Shoal! ”
Because of his own experience, Zhou Yi did not have a good impression of the Han court, and now he directly expressed his self-reliance.
Yue Fei, Zhao Yun and the others couldn't help but be silent when they heard this, Li Xuan swept over a cadre of civil and martial arts, shook his head and said, "As a Hanchen." Since he should be loyal to the country, since His Majesty has called him, how can he refuse to obey the edict? ”
"Pengju!" Li Xuan looked at Yue Fei and said solemnly: "After I leave, the army will respect you and closely monitor the movements of the Hu people. ”
"The last general obeys!" Yue Fei got up and hugged his fists violently.
"I will regularly send back news from the dark department, and once the Central Plains changes, I will immediately block the pass!" Li Xuan said in a deep voice: "If you have something you don't understand, you can ask Mr. Berwyn for advice." ”
"Don't worry, the lord swears to protect the lord's foundation, and before the lord comes back, he will never let anyone get involved!" Yue Fei said solemnly, hesitated for a moment, Yue Fei said in a deep voice: "The lord is going to Luoyang, there will be many dangers, why don't you let Zilong accompany him and protect the lord?" ”
"Not necessarily!" Li Xuan motioned to Zhao Yun, who wanted to get up and ask for his life, to sit down, and said with a smile: "Zilong is a good material and beautiful jade, follow me, but a guard, but I want Zilong to become a general who is enough to be in charge for me in the future, and now is a great opportunity to hone Zilong, and I can't ruin Zilong's future because of me." ”
"Lord!" Zhao Yun's heart was full of blood, and he suddenly got up and said: "During this time, following the lord to fight Xianbei has already realized his life wish, and now, I only want to swear to follow the lord's side, even if I am a pawn, I am willing." ”
"I know my son's loyalty." Li Xuan said with a smile: "But this trip to Luoyang, I expect that there will be no danger, and the imperial court will not really risk the world's disapproval to kill the righteous, this time Xiongxin will accompany me to go, Zilong should be diligent in learning the art of martial arts, in the future, I will also want Zilong to continue to expand the territory for me and sweep away the troubled times." ”
"I have made up my mind, Xiongxin, choose three hundred elites, and prepare to leave for Beijing with me." Li Xuan stopped the people who still wanted to speak, and said categorically.
The plan has been decided, Li Xuan waved away everyone, leaving Liu Bowen behind, looking at the smiling Liu Bowen, Li Xuan smiled and said: "I want to stop talking before Mr. Guan, before leaving, but do you have something to explain?" ”
Liu Ji smiled and shook his head: "I wanted to persuade him, but His Majesty was able to make the right decision, but it saved Weichen a lot of words." ”
Li Xuan founded the country in the Tianlong plane, and the two have established the fact of monarchs and ministers, and now when there is no one, the two are also commensurate with the titles between monarchs and ministers.
"But I look at Liu Qing, I still have nothing to say." Li Xuan shook his head and said, "Between you and me, Liu Qing has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”
Liu Ji nodded and said: "Your Majesty is now in this realm, standing outside the plug, although it is a bitter cold place, but the minister knows that His Majesty has two big countries as a basis, and now His Majesty is already a fierce general, strong soldiers and horses, in terms of heritage, it is no longer under any prince, but from the basis of the view, the situation in this world is chaotic, and the strength of the generals is far from being comparable to the two worlds that His Majesty now controls, with the resources in His Majesty's hands, if he rises strongly now, he may be a prince, but if he wants to calm the world, it is extremely difficult." ”
Li Xuan nodded, the Condor and the Heavenly Dragon are just low martial planes, that is, they integrate the power of the two planes and put them in the chaotic Three Kingdoms plane.
After a pause, Liu Ji continued: "Your Majesty's foundation in this world is unstable, limited to the relationship of origin, it is difficult to get the recognition of the family, if you want to gain a firm foothold, you must occupy the righteousness, although the Han Kingdom in this world has been declining, but the royal family is still there, although the chaos has appeared, but after all, the world is not chaotic, if you force yourself at this time, it will only become the best target for the princes to attack in the future, if you want to occupy the general trend, you must not openly oppose the royal family of the Han Dynasty at this time, therefore, this trip to Luoyang is also imperative." ”
Li Xuan nodded, but this coincided with his thoughts.
"In addition, the minister thinks that although this trip to Luoyang is dangerous, it may not be an opportunity." Liu Ji smiled.
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Li Xuan wondered, he didn't see any opportunities for this trip to Luoyang.
"The lord currently has the reputation of an anti-Hu hero, in the people, the fame is enough, but in the political zhì, because of the reason of origin, it is quite insufficient, this time to Luoyang, although it seems that the Han Dynasty court is afraid of the lord's move, but if the lord voluntarily goes, the court will be guilty, the lord can rely on this to obtain greater political capital, if nothing else, the minister speculates, within five years, the Han family will be chaotic, the lord can take advantage of this time, earn greater political capital, just wait for the world to be in chaos, the lord ascends to the heights, Bound to gather from servants! ”
What is Politics Capital?
It is nothing more than fame, officials and connections, the world is about to be in chaos, without the imperial court, there is naturally no way to talk about connections, but fame and sufficient official positions are the political capital of the future troubled times, Liu Bei in the early stage, the reason why he hit a wall everywhere and went into exile for half his life was precisely because he did not have enough fame and official position, until later Xuchang was a saint, was named by the royal family, and obtained the name of the imperial uncle and the false position of General Zuo, and began to rise.
Don't underestimate a fictitious position, although it has no practical use, but it represents the upper limit of the official position you can give your subordinates, that is a position with the right to open a government, in terms of status, it is still above Li Xuan's Zhenbei general, even if there is no territory, just those official positions under his subordinates can attract many people to work.
"Or Berwyn can see far away!" Li Xuan smiled heartily, originally this time in Beijing, he just planned to wait for Dong Zhuo to enter Beijing, but now it seems that there is a lot to be done, if it is used properly, he can save himself a lot of trouble in the future.
"In addition, Chen Jian yì, His Majesty Xià will go to Luoyang this time, you might as well bring a few people with you." Liu Ji smiled.
"Who?" Li Xuan said curiously.
"One of them is His Majesty's father-in-law, Huang Yaoshi, the minister looks at this person, he has the talent of the heavens and the earth, he has learned everything, all-encompassing, if he can get advice, it is better than 100,000 male masters." Liu Ji said in a deep voice.
"He's an old man!" Li Xuan nodded helplessly: "What else?" ”
"The two wives of His Majesty, Mrs. Rong and Lord Shaomin, although they are women, but if you talk about strategy, among our army, there are only a few people who can compare with them, in addition, the two leaders of the dark department, the lord should bring one by his side, our army is now in the general trend, it is time to develop the dark department to the Central Plains."
There is no problem with these people, Li Xuan nodded: "The four counties of Longcheng are our foundation in this realm, and after I leave, Berwyn should bother a lot." ”
"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will do his best." Liu Ji bowed and said.
The plan has been decided, Li Xuan did not continue to stay, after assigning some related affairs clearly, on the third day, he summoned Zuo Feng, took Huang Rong and Zhao Min, and set off for Luoyang under the escort of Shan Xiongxin's three hundred guards. (To be continued......)
