One thing to say, Li Yan is really worthy of the evaluation of "having scales in his belly and benefiting his body".

This is not a good evaluation, it means that Li Yan has a complex mind, and he only considers his own personal interests and losses.

On this matter, although Li Yan reached a tacit agreement with Li Yu and wanted to dissuade Liu Bei from moving the capital to Chang'an, Li Yan turned his head and told Fa Zheng about it.

Yes, Li Yan still has a little bottom line, and he didn't directly stab Liu Bei about this matter. But he told Fazheng.

On the surface, Li Yan wrote a letter to tell Fa Zheng about this matter, and asked for the opinion of Fa Zheng, who was also a representative of the Dongzhou faction, and it seemed that he was still relatively modest, and he still asked Fa Zheng's opinion on this kind of thing.

But after Fa Zheng knew about this, what would be his reaction, and he Li Yan still didn't know?!

Fa Zheng will definitely tell Liu Bei, do you still need to think about it?!

And Li Yan's badness is bad here.

This kind of thing, he Li Yan didn't say it himself, stabbed Fa Zheng, and asked Fa Zheng to be this bad guy.

If things happen in the future, then he Li Yan is the biggest partner in front of the Yizhou faction, and his benefits are indispensable, and if the matter is not successful or exposed, he can not only shirk the responsibility to Fazheng, but even he can't complain in front of Liu Bei, after all, he told Fazheng about it.

has become a two-sided advantage, and if you don't do it, you won't suffer anywhere, and you really deserve to be Meng Da's good buddy.

Li Yan's little ninety-nine, Fa Zheng actually understands it, but Fa Zheng is also helpless.

Under the pressure of the situation at the beginning, the Dongzhou faction must be united, otherwise it will not be able to resist the oppression of the Yizhou local faction, and Li Yan is a person with outstanding talent and ability, which is also recognized by Fazheng.

As for the issue of character, there is one thing to say, Fa Zheng is not a good person, how can he be demanding that Li Yan is a righteous gentleman? !

In the past, Fa Zheng could ignore Li Yan's character and only rely on his talent to communicate.

But nowadays. Now there is no way, the Dongzhou faction is already small, and there are even fewer people who can be reused by Liu Bei, and Fa Zheng doesn't want to be alone in the court.

Therefore, even if he knew that Li Yan was cheating people, Fa Zheng still had to help Li Yan poke this matter in front of Liu Bei, tell him the idea of the Yizhou faction, and at the same time, persuade Liu Bei that now is really not a good time to move the capital.

Yes, Fa Zheng actually doesn't agree with moving the capital at this time, otherwise Fa Zheng doesn't care about these bad things.

With Liu Bei's personality and temper, and with the degree of trust he is in front of Liu Bei, why bother wading into this troubled water.

And Liu Ba, who was also in charge of government affairs in Hanzhong with Fa Zheng, was also asked by the Yizhou family, hoping that he would ask Liu Bei when he would garrison in Chang'an and when he would officially return to the court.

Liu Ba is not a person with low political consciousness, he can see the problem at a glance, and with caution, he took the initiative to find Fa Zheng and ask Fa Zheng's opinion.

Then, the two of them went to the book together and asked Liu Bei about the time when the class teacher returned to the court.

And these two people went to the book together, Zhuge Liang, who was in Chang'an, received such a recital, with his political IQ, can he still see the greasy in this? !

Zhuge Liang hurriedly wrote a letter urging Liu Bei to return to Chang'an and make a decision.

And after Liu Bei hurried back to Chang'an non-stop, he was immediately very unhappy when he saw such a sparse performance.

finally recovered the old capital of the Han Dynasty, and his butt in Chang'an City was not yet hot, so these people urged him to go back to Chengdu.

And to be honest, today's Liu Bei does have the idea of moving the capital to Chang'an.

After all, this is the old capital of the Han Dynasty.

As the son of the Han Dynasty, if you don't stay in the capital of the Han Dynasty, you go to a remote place in the southwest like Chengdu, what kind of system will you become? !

Again, the recovery of Chang'an can be regarded as a phased achievement of Liu Bei's revival of the Han Dynasty, which is not only enough to make him proud, but also has extremely high political significance.

The old capital has been recovered, so will the revival of the Han Dynasty be far away?!

Therefore, when Liu Bei entered Chang'an City on the first day, Liu Bei pondered whether to find a suitable time and reason to announce the relocation of the capital to Chang'an.

But now, Liu Bei saw Fa Zheng and Liu Ba playing together, urging him to return to Chengdu quickly.

Liu Bei was unhappy, but it was just right, Liu Bei did not express his position immediately, but followed this reason and summoned Zhang Xi, Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang, and Huang Quan to discuss the matter of moving the capital.

"This Northern Expedition, the old capital is restored, and the Han Dynasty can prosper." Before the meeting began, Liu Bei first set a tone, and then said, "I want to move the capital to Chang'an, use it as the capital, restore the world, and revitalize the Han family, do you think it's okay?!" ”

As soon as Liu Bei said this, Zhuge Liang and the four of them all chuckled in their hearts.

In this era, except for attending formal occasions, such as worshipping the heavens or the great court, the Son of Heaven rarely calls himself "I".

This is different from what was deduced in later TV dramas.

On the one hand, although Liu Bei said that he was born in the Han family, he was poor when he was young and sold straw sandals to supplement his family, and he has only been the emperor for a few years.

But now Liu Bei is "I" as soon as he opens his mouth, and he sets such a tone. It can be seen that Liu Bei is very concerned about the matter of moving the capital, and it can be said that he has made up his mind.

It's not that I can't understand Liu Bei's joy after capturing the old capital of the Han Dynasty, nor is it that I can't understand Liu Bei's political influence after moving the capital to Chang'an.

But now, it's really not a good time to move the capital.

This is not only Fa Zheng and Liu Ba who think so, but also Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and even Zhang Xi.

To tell the truth, Chengdu is located in a remote place in the southwest, which is really not suitable as the capital of a country, as long as anyone with a little political common sense can see.

But at that time, there was no way, when Liu Bei ascended the throne, the territory was so big, he would not choose Chengdu, where could he choose? !

With the smooth progress of the Northern Expedition and the recovery of the old capital of Chang'an, from a political point of view, moving the capital to Chang'an can not only demonstrate the destiny of Sanxing of the Han Dynasty, but also call on the people of the Han family in the world to vote, which can be said to be a very correct choice.

But. It's not a good time.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, and said in his heart that at this time, we can't let our big man think about it as a play, and if he should be advised, he still has to be persuaded.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang took the initiative to speak and persuaded, "Your Majesty's intentions, the ministers and others all know that the capital is moved at this time, but it is a little too hasty. ”

As soon as Liu Bei heard Zhuge Liang's words, he felt uncomfortable.

Fa Zheng and Liu Ba have lived in Sichuan for a long time, and they persuade me to forget it, after all, their interests are largely related to Shu, but you Zhuge Liang shouldn't be such a person!!

But no matter what, Liu Bei is Liu Bei after all, even if he feels uncomfortable, he still gives Zhuge Liang the opportunity to say his reason.

Zhuge Liang was not verbose, and said directly, "Now that the land of Guanzhong has been restored, Your Majesty has not yet graced the people of Guanzhong, and the hearts of the people have not been attached." In the land of Guanzhong, after war, bandits are rampant on the ground, the people are displaced, and the place has not been stabilized. His Majesty's proposal to move the capital is indeed necessary, but it should not be rushed for a while, and it will not be too late to discuss it after the prosperity of Guanzhong in the coming days. ”

Zhuge Liang means that I am not against you moving the capital, but against you moving the capital now, and the time is not yet ripe.

Huang Quan was still hesitating, after all, he was from a serious Shuzhong family, and expressing his opinion on this kind of matter was easy to make Liu Bei think crookedly.

But as soon as Huang Quan heard the scale of Zhuge Liang's words, he immediately understood what he should say, and he also got up and arched his hand, and said to Liu Bei, "Your Majesty, the words of the Zhongshu Order are very true. When the Wei thieves were defeated and retreated, hundreds of thousands of people were relocated from Guanzhong, and now the people's livelihood in Guanzhong is withering, and the people's food and clothing are still fruitless, how can they deal with such a major event as moving the capital. I hope that Your Majesty will put this intention for the time being, and it will not be too late to mention this matter again when the people of Guanzhong resume production and live and work in peace and contentment. ”

As soon as Huang Quan finished saying this, Pang Tong beside him stood up and said, "Your Majesty wants to move the capital, and the minister should not oppose it, but since ancient times, the four passes must be guarded in the pass, but now the pass is scattered, although Xiao Pass is in my hands, Hangu Pass and Wuguan are all Wei thieves." If you can't take the four passes and defend them, the pass will always be the place of the four wars, how can it be the capital of a country?! Please also think twice, Your Majesty. ”

Well, the three of them finished speaking, and Liu Bei was also a little dumbfounded, he really didn't expect that so many people would oppose a matter of moving the capital.

To tell the truth, Liu Bei is already a little out of town at this time. If one or two of his confidants and advisers oppose it, he still has a reason for being arbitrary, but so many people are against it, which can only show that he thinks about the matter of moving the capital too simply.

But. Liu Bei also wants to save face, a dignified man, he can't not give no face at all, everyone is against it, right?!

Therefore, Liu Bei deliberately took a look at what Zhang Xi, who had not yet expressed his opinion, and asked Zhang Xi to give him a step, and give him a little support, so that he could step down.

But Zhang Xi is actually even more confused than Liu Bei.

It's just the three of you?!

You've said everything you can, from politics to economics to military. Now it's my turn, what else can I say?!

Zhang Xi was stunned in a daze, and Liu Bei took the initiative to ask questions at this time.

"What is the opinion of the chief on this matter?!"

Liu Bei meant that, I was afraid that Zhang Xi would not understand his intentions, so I specially reminded him.

But it's a pity that Liu Bei is sick and rushed to the doctor. Can Zhang Xi be such a person with vision?!

Zhang Xi pondered for a long time, got up, and said to Liu Bei, "Your Majesty, Guanzhong has undergone development since the pre-Qin period, especially in the Later Han Dynasty, Guanzhong supported the imperial army to fight against the Xiqiang Zhurong, and the land has long been overdrawn. Coupled with the diversion of the Yellow River a hundred years ago, Guanzhong can no longer afford the weight of a country's capital. Why didn't Your Majesty postpone the proposal to move the capital, and after taking Luoyang, move the capital to Luoyang, wouldn't it be better?! ”

What Zhang Xi said made Liu Bei speechless.
