Just as the Western Wei Dynasty was at an impasse, a series of disputes and debates were also launched in the Southern Liang court in Jiangling.

In Gangneung in August, the heat of summer gradually dissipates, and the cool autumn breeze blows across the city. However, the atmosphere in the city has not turned cold because of the change of seasons, and is still full of joy and festivity.

In recent years, Jiangling has been plagued by many disasters and difficulties, and before Hou Jing's chaotic army came to the west, it was not long ago caught in the embarrassing predicament of fighting on two fronts. Although the fighting did not spread directly to Gangneung Castle, the tense atmosphere was by no means a good memory for the city's sergeants and citizens.

Fortunately, today's saints and a group of civil, military and virtuous people work together to tide over the difficulties, so that Gangneung has been spared from disasters again and again.

When the Shuzhong rebellion was defeated this time, Emperor Xiao Yi's prestige in Jiangling also climbed to a new high for a while, and the masses took to the streets to celebrate the victory with singing and dancing.

However, this joyful and festive atmosphere did not last long before it was suddenly interrupted, and it was the saint Xiao Yi who was worshiped by the people of Gangneung.

As the rebellious army of Bashu was also pacified, a problem that had been postponed and neglected before but had to be faced was turned over again, and Emperor Xiao Yi issued an edict to return the old capital to Jiankang.

After the issuance of this edict, it immediately caused an uproar among the government and the opposition in Gangneung, not only the people were shocked, but also in the Gangneung court.

Although Xiao Yi has not been in Jiangling for a long time, the scale of Jiangling's civil and military masses is not small. In the Hou Jing Rebellion, which lasted for more than three years in the past, as the first military palace in Southern Liang, there were many Jiankang and courtiers and celebrities from all walks of life who went to Jiangling to escape the war.

As Xiao Yi pacified the rebellion inside and outside the country and Zhongxing called the system, these people also saw the court one after another, and actively voiced their voices in the Jiangling court. Especially on the issue of returning the old capital, each of them enthusiastically expressed their attitude.

Among these different opinions, they can basically be divided into two opinions, that is, those who agree with the relocation of the old capital and those who hope to establish the capital of Gangneung. Each of these two factions has its own representatives, and the rest of the civil and military masses support one side of the other.

Those who hope to set the capital in Jiangling are mainly local people in Jiangling and Xiao Yi's original former officials in Xifu, and those who hold this opinion mainly include the leading general Hu Shengyou, the official department Shangshu Zongyi, and so on.

These people either live in Gangneung or have lived here as officials for many years, whether it is emotionally or out of interest, of course, they hope that this situation will continue to be maintained, and they are unwilling to go to Jiankang.

Their opinions are also very sufficient, the Hou Jing Rebellion lasted for several years, and Jiankang City had already been destroyed and dilapidated, not only the buildings in the city, but even the palaces and palaces and the mansions of the hundred officials were rarely intact. What's more, the land of Jiangbei and Huainan has been swallowed up by the Northern Qi, except for a Yangtze River natural danger, there is no longer any barrier.

Under such circumstances, the old capital was relocated, not only did the king have no place to settle and live hastily, but even the safety of his life could not be guaranteed. On the other hand, Gangneung has prospered under the rule of the Holy Lord, and has survived hardships without being violated, which can be described as the land of Longxing blessed by Providence, and it is really unwise to leave this alone!

Most of the people in Gangneung and the old bureaucrats in Xifu also agreed with this view, and urged the emperor not to move to Jiankang.

Aside from the reasons they put forward, just looking at their respective backgrounds, we can understand why they advocated moving back to Jiankang.

Wang Bao was born in the Langya Wang family, which is the Langya Wang family in the world of the king and the horse, and his ancestor is the famous Wang Dao of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. As for Zhou Hongzheng, he was born in the Zhou clan in Runan, and his ancestor was also a famous minister Zhou Yi during the period of Emperor Sima Rui of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Zhou Yi's fame is not as great as that of Director Wang, but a famous saying left by Director Wang Yinzhi has also spread widely: "I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me." Boren is the word of Zhou, when Wang Dun of the Eastern Jin Dynasty made a rebellion, Wang Dun killed him because of Wang Dao's misunderstanding and jealousy of Zhou Yi.

Regardless of the grievances between the ancestors of the Langya Wang family and the Runan Zhou family, the two of them have one thing in common, that is, they are all from the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the present famous family, when it comes to the historical origin of the family, even the Lanling Xiao family from the Qiliang royal family of the Southern Dynasty is difficult to reach.

Therefore, on the issue of moving back to the old capital, Wang Bao and Zhou Hongzheng, who came from Jiankang, have a high degree of unity. Dingdu Jiankang is a long-standing political tradition of the Southern Dynasties, and no matter who becomes the emperor, this tradition has been maintained.

In the course of the history of the Southern Dynasties, there were also emperors who were based in Fangzhen, but for the long-term stability of the society, they had to go to Jiankang without exception to establish the legitimacy of their political rule.

On the current issue of whether the Jiangling court should move the capital or not, in addition to this historical tradition, it is also facing a practical problem.

Zhou Hongzheng, as a representative of Jiankang, raised such a question: "Everyone says that Jiangling is dangerous and indestructible, but why don't you know?" In this case, Xiangyang is trying to survive, and it is dependent on the northern Wei Town.

Li Boshan, tiger wolf also! The former first plotted against Liang Han, replundered with the land, Yiyang was held by it, and Xiakou was choked by it. If it is not attacked now, I am fortunate to steal it, but if the army is raised to provoke, who in the country can respond to it? ”

As soon as Zhou Hongzheng said this, everyone present couldn't help but be silent, including Hu Seng You, who had been advocating how livable and governing-friendly Jiangling was, and they couldn't help but bow their heads at this time.

Although their Jiangling court also won the final victory in the civil strife, and Wang Shengbi, Chen Baxian and other generals also had the reputation of being good at fighting, but in the face of Li Boshan, a person who can suppress the world's first-class generals, he is still a little lacking in courage after all. Especially now that there are close exchanges between Jiangling and Chubei, they don't dare to talk nonsense behind their backs.

Although Zhou Hongzheng raised a question that was impossible to answer, he did not win the debate, and Zong Yi, who had been sent to the north several times, argued with reason: "Although Li Boshan is prestigious, the two countries have long had an alliance, mutual non-aggression, and border affairs are repaired. In recent years, all the personnel exchanges between the two sides have been intimate and pleasant. Although forgetting the war is dangerous, but Zhou Hou poses a danger to his allies with something unprecedented, isn't this a greedy thought? ”

Hearing Zong Yi say this, everyone present couldn't help but nod their heads again and again, and each said that General Li of Chubei treated the people of Jiangling as harmoniously as a spring breeze, and coupled with the constraints of an alliance with each other, he would never rashly raise troops to attack.

The danger with a very low probability of happening here in the north of Nacha, forcing the imperial court to move to Jiankang and approaching those jackal-like invasions of the Northern Qi Dynasty is simply Zhou Hongzheng's selfish desires and ulterior motives!

Although Zhou Hongzheng was born in a famous family, he was upright and upright, and he was a famous minister in the country.

Seeing that the hall had turned from discussion to noise, and it was accompanied by very severe personal attacks, Emperor Xiao Yi could only suspend the deliberations, ordering those ministers who were too excited to retreat first, and the matter of returning to the old capital was also temporarily stopped and discussed at a later date.

After ending a fruitless court discussion, Xiao Yi returned to the inner garden with some irritation, coinciding with today's concubine Wang Liangren serving and living, because he saw the saint frowning, Wang Liangren was also cautious and did not dare to make mistakes.

Thinking of what Zhou Hongzheng said before, Xiao Yi asked people to take the official documents and private messages that interacted with the north of the country, and picked up the book written by Li Tai to analyze it word by word, but gradually the attention shifted from the meaning of the text to the font calligraphy, and after appreciating it, he couldn't help but sigh and admire: "Looking at the words and knowing the people, there is no shortage of good calligraphers in the south, but there are very few people who are so strong and majestic, and there are very few people who are so strong and majestic. It's a pity that the talent doesn't enter my door, if it can be used by me, why not use it with a maid! ”

While speaking, he presented a few copies of the world's famous calligraphy, appreciated it and personally copied a few articles, and his mood gradually improved, and he also raised his hand to summon Wang Liangren, who was standing aside, to make a few exquisite Caidian in person.

Seeing that the lord's interest had changed, the king's beautiful eyes turned, and he boldly whispered: "Brother slave sacrificed several kinds of goods this morning, tell the slave to please offer the lord ......."

After Xiao Ji heard this, the smile on his face suddenly fell, and after snorting coldly, he turned his back, looking irritable, but after a while, he heard Wang Liangren's slight sobbing, and then said coldly: "Take it." ”

Wang Liangren's brother is Wang Lin, although he was forgiven by Xiao Yi and led his troops to defeat the Shu army, but he was also snubbed by Xiao Yi, and he has not been received since he returned to the division.

When Wang Liangren sent the things, Xiao Yi looked through them slightly, and then took out a book from a pile of square objects, and when he unfolded it, he found that it was Wang Lin who advised him to beware of Xiangyang and Chubei, and invited himself to sit in Wuning between Xiangyang and Jiangling for the history of Yongzhou to prepare for the soldiers in the north.

"Dog slaves are so daring! Relying on his old favorite and getting rid of his lowly status, now he is not satisfied with his position as a nobleman, and he exaggerates the side troubles in order to respect the general position, do I really think that I dare not sanction him! ”

Xiao Yi was furious after reading this recital, and while tearing it to pieces, he smashed all those things on Wang Liangren, who was lying on the ground and begging for mercy, and then walked away angrily.

He has always been wary of martial artists, coupled with Wang Lin's inferiority, he was forced to fail to punish him severely due to the soldiers from Shuzhong, and he was already quite ashamed in his heart, how could he put Wang Lin in Wuning, the north gate of Jiangling!
