Chapter 356: Moving the Capital
When Liu Hou received Guan Xing's war report, Long Yan Dayue and the ministers celebrated each other, the major newspapers outside the palace were in full swing editing news and printing newspapers, preparing to publish reports unfavorable to the Second Division.
So, three days later, at the court meeting, the direction of the court completely changed, the last court meeting, the court was overflowing with praise and praise, to this day, one after another people jumped out to criticize the impeachment of Guan Xinghe and the Second Division, saying that he disregarded the life and death of the people, causing the lives of the war zone to be miserable.
At first, the ministers only questioned the practice of the Second Division, but later, it was directly criticized by Chiguoguo, and some ministers not only criticized the Second Division for killing and injuring the Han people, but even had opinions on their extermination of the Xianbei people. They believe that many of the Xianbei people are just ordinary people, and these ordinary people are innocent and should not be affected by the scourge of war.
In their words, it was only a small handful of militaristic elements among the Xianbei people who invaded the Han land and plundered the Han people, and they did not represent the entire Xianbei people, and most of the Xianbei people were still good and peace-loving.
There are those who criticize the Second Division, and naturally there are those who support the Second Division, and the supporters of the Second Division believe that Guan Xing and his Second Division are well-deserved heroes who have opened up territory, captured enemy chieftains, and captured more than 50,000 prisoners, and deserve to be rewarded. As for injuring some civilians by mistake, this is an inevitable thing in the wars of all dynasties.
Moreover, before the war, the Second Division had already mobilized the people in the war zone to move as much as possible, and the rest were all people who refused to listen to persuasion and refused to leave. As for their hasty attack, it was entirely a military necessity, and anyone who understands military affairs understands the need to do so.
Besides, if you don't reward and punish meritorious officials, it is completely perverse, and it will definitely chill the hearts of the soldiers, who else will fight for the court and Your Majesty in the future?
Liu Hougao sat on the throne and looked coldly at His Majesty Dan's noisy ministers, he really regretted summoning these people to Xuchang, if it was still the original group of civil and military generals who followed him to fight in the east and west, there would definitely be no current controversy.
It turned out that those people were used to fighting with themselves, and they were all like Guan Xing, taking achieving military goals as their primary task, and they couldn't say that they didn't care about the life and death of the people, but they wouldn't put it in the first place.
That is to say, if other generals under Liu Hou do this, the result may be the same as the result made by Guan Xing this time, after all, everyone has been following Liu Hou for a long time, influenced by the leader, and the way of thinking is also very close to the leader's way of thinking.
In addition, everyone is a comrade-in-arms in the same trench, and they all have a deep fighting friendship, and it is impossible to tear each other down, even if they know that the other party's actions are a little inappropriate, they will not jump out and impeach.
It is possible to put forward opinions in private, but it is also to help the other party and promote the other party's progress, not to embarrass the other party, let alone to rectify the other party. Although there is competition in the military, all competition is on the surface, and everyone competes according to their abilities and military exploits, and they will not secretly engage in these conspiracies and tricks to rectify people.
The saint has clouds, and there are four irons in life: they have been through the window together, they have carried guns together, they have prostituted together, and they have shared the spoils together. The friendship between comrades-in-arms who have carried guns together is incomprehensible to ordinary people, most of the people in the army are straight-tempered, what to say, and they are not happy to point at each other's noses and scold their mothers in front of them, but after that, they have nothing to do, and they still go to drink together with their shoulders and backs.
The people of the army will never use this reason to attack their comrades, the most important military exploits of soldiers, although they will also envy the military exploits of others, but envy is envy, they will not make a fuss about other people's military exploits, they will only scream, and they will also rush to the battlefield themselves, and earn a more brilliant military exploit with their own hands.
Since it wasn't the people who originally followed Liu Hou to fight jumped out to impeach Guan Xing and the Second Division, who was doing it? It turned out that these people were all officials who had just migrated from the Chengdu Imperial Court.
Due to the recovery of Xuchang, the emperor was also stationed in Xuchang, giving people a signal that the little emperor wanted to set the capital of Xuchang, so many ministers in Chengdu couldn't sit still, and they were all stupid ~ stupid ~ want to go to Xuchang as soon as possible to reap the benefits.
The advantages of being around the emperor are obvious, not to mention anything else, you can often show your face in front of the emperor's eyes, and when there is a vacancy, the emperor has a better chance of remembering you.
Xuchang is newly determined, and the new framework of the imperial court has just been built, which is the time to employ people, and Shu Han has always been short of talents, so it can be said that at this time, any literate cat and dog can get an official and a half-job. Take 10,000 steps back, not to mention the official position, even Xuchang's territory must be occupied in time.
If you don't take advantage of the fact that the war has just ended, there will be vacant land everywhere, empty houses to occupy a piece of land or a house, and when Xuchang really becomes the new capital, it will become a treasure land with every inch of land, and then the price of buying land and houses is probably more than ten times that of now.
As a result, the ministers and ministers wrote to Liu Hou one after another, crying bitterly to express their loyalty, expressing their enthusiasm and decision to come to Xuchang to accompany him and die for the emperor of the court.
Liu Hou saw that everyone looked like they were full of enthusiasm, and saw that the situation in the world is indeed relatively stable now, and most of the lost territory of the Han Dynasty has been recovered, and it is time to gradually consider the issue of moving the capital. As it is now, it is indeed inconvenient for a country to have two courts.
Chengdu is an orthodox and prestigious imperial court, and the government affairs are fully represented by Zhuge Liang, although Liu Hou is not worried that Zhuge Liang will rebel, but it is very inconvenient to run the public affairs like that. Some of the pieces were sent to Chengdu for Zhuge Liang to deal with, while others were sent to Xuchang for the little emperor to deal with.
This caused the government decree to be unified, and sometimes, some things were not decided by Zhuge Liang, and the emperor had to take the idea himself, and the chapter was transferred from Chengdu to Xuchang, which took an unimaginably long time, and when the emperor approved it, the daylily was cold.
In view of this, Liu Hou intended to put an end to this state of affairs between the two courts, so he issued an edict for the officials of the Chengdu court to gradually move to Xuchang. It is not an easy thing to move the capital, not to mention that Liu Hou did not plan to set the capital in Xuchang, he just asked the officials to come to Xuchang in batches, and first go to Xuchang to form a temporary imperial court.
However, he thought so, but the officials below misunderstood what he meant, thinking that the emperor was going to be the capital in Xuchang, so everyone rushed to Xuchang. So far, more than two-thirds of officials have rushed to Xuchang to report, and about one-third are still in Chengdu.
This third of the people includes Zhuge Liang, he still has to sit in Chengdu, and then leave when everything is settled, I believe that it will not be long before these third people will move over one after another, and when the time comes, Xuchang will become a veritable capital.
