When Wei Xuan was in full swing outside the city to redeploy the defense of Sanhe, Yingchuan and Nanyang, the Son of Heaven and the Three Princes and Jiuqing in Chang'an City were also waiting for Wei Xuan's request for merit, and in their opinion, they waited for Wei Xuan to hand over the Qing Palace watch, and then the Son of Heaven and the Three Princes gathered in Qingmen to discuss the meritorious soldiers and reward the meritorious soldiers, and then they could drive back to Luoyang.

However, the left waited for Wei Xuan to come, but the right waited for Wei Xuan to hear that Wei Xuan's several armies had withdrawn from Chang'an one after another, heading east. This is not in accordance with the rules, even if you want to go back to set up defenses, or if there is a new war in the area of Sanhe and Nanyang, it should be Wei Xuanyu to the Son of Heaven, and then the Son of Heaven will issue an edict after consulting with the Three Dukes. Now Wei Xuan is like this, what is the matter with sending the army out of Chang'an.

】

What's even more strange is that Wei Xuan pulled all the troops out of Chang'an City on the second day after he was canonized as a chariot and cavalry general by the imperial court, and now Dong Cheng's 2,000 recruits have to be used to maintain law and order in Chang'an City. Fortunately, the Son of Heaven and the court are so poor that they are so poor, otherwise these people will not be able to guard the palace well, and the palace will be rampant with thieves.

There are also smart people among the three dukes, such as Zhu Jun, who suggested that the Son of Heaven send Zhong Xuan???????????????? Go out of the city and ask Wei Xuan in the name of the labor army.

Zhong Xuan's understanding of his wife and brother was also limited to Wei Xuan's short stay in Luoyang City that day. And basically, Wei Xuan's talent during that period of time was concentrated in poetry and classics. In just a few years, Wei Xuan has become a general, and his achievements are even more brilliant than Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun combined. More precisely, Wei Xuan is now a member of the Kanto group.

Zhong Xuan met Wei Xuan, but Wei Xuan did not use the specifications of his brother-in-law or the envoy of the Son of Heaven to receive him, but let Zhong Xuan come in by the way during the deliberations of the military tent.

Without waiting for him to speak, Xi Zhicai spoke: "Zhong Yuanchang, the lord led troops into Beijing on the order of the general, and was dissuaded by you halfway, but no one could dissuade Dong Zhuocai from today's disaster. Look at the three dukes and hussar generals in the court now, they were as honest as a quail when Li Dao was there. Why did my father-in-law defeat Li Dao and turn over to live but became them? So what kind of thing is Dong Cheng? and that Yang Biao, Dong Zhuo was the target of use when he was there, and thanks to his exquisite eight-facedness, he has survived until now, why is it that being a lieutenant in the court today is thicker than his face? ”

Zhong Xuan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Zhicai, you and I are fellow villagers, why do you choke the old man so much when we meet." ”

Xi Zhicai was stunned for a moment, Zhong Xuan is in his forties this year and calls himself an old man, but there is General Zuo here, he is also a military general, even Jia Xu, a lieutenant general, has a higher status than him, and even Guo Jia is also the head of the General's Mansion. However, Zhong Xuan didn't pay attention to these, but relied on the old and sold the old as a township party, and he had no recruitment.

Jia Xu looked at Zhong Xuan with a smile and said: "Mr. Yuan Chang, if I remember correctly, when the lord thought that Taozi left Luoyang as a lieutenant, Mr. was Ting Weizheng, I don't know what Mr. is in the official position now?" ”

This time it was Zhong Xuan's turn to be stunned, watching his two major strategists take turns attacking his brother-in-law, Wei Xuan was a little embarrassed, stood up and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, Xuan doesn't understand government affairs, and the Guanzhong region is plagued by Dong Zhuo, Li Dao and others. Xuan wants to ask you to calm down Guanzhong, what do you think? ”

Zhong Xuan: "......"

Zhong Xuan thought that it was not easy to get some information from Wei Xuan, but he didn't expect that the three gentlemen and ministers would not give him a chance to speak, but now Wei Xuan suddenly proposed to pacify Guanzhong, which surprised him a little, it is said that now that Wei Xuan has received the Son of Heaven, then the affairs of Guanzhong cannot cover the sky with one hand like he did in Sanhe or Bingzhou. Because the Son of Heaven did not give him the Three Princes or the Book of Records. Even if the general records the Shangshu, he can't be arbitrary, unless it is the only one who records the Shangshu.

Seeing Wei Xuan's confident smile, Zhong Xuan had a bad premonition, and he probably wanted to be a powerful minister. He pointed at Wei Xuan and asked, "Zhongdao, what do you want to do?" ”

Wei Xuan's face sank: "Brother-in-law should ask the princes of the court what they want to do." What were they doing when the princes of the Eighteenth Road were crusading against Dong Zhuo, what were they doing when Dong Zhuo moved west, and Li Dao and Guo Yan were in trouble? Look at today's Yuan Shao brothers, and have a clear conscience!

It's not that it's arrogant, if there is no Xuan, I don't know how many people are kings and how many people are emperors!

Xuan also wanted to ask him what Yang Wenxian wanted to do? Raising a baseless pro-soldier captain to record a book together? Why didn't he just record the book? ”

Zhong Xuan finally understood Wei Xuan's grievances???????????????? Where did it come from, if you want to say that the emperor of today's court is young, it is still Yang Biao and Zhu Jun and others who can really speak, especially Yang Biao, the chief lieutenant. It actually makes sense for Dong to be declared by Wei to be the captain of the pro-soldiers, he is not even an ordinary captain. Several attempts to escape from Li Dao's clutches with the Son of Heaven were unsuccessful. But it was an excuse for the Son of Heaven and Yang Biao to praise him.

But Zhong Xuan is an honest man, and he didn't want to say much about the Son of Heaven and the Third Prince, so he had to say tentatively: "Zhongdao, are you dissatisfied with the Son of Heaven and the court for this matter?" ”

Wei Xuan still said with a straight face: "What does my brother-in-law mean by this? Xuan was a general and should seek peace for the court, and did not dare to criticize the Son of Heaven and the court. Please also go back and tell the Son of Heaven and the Third Duke that Xuan will still deploy to encircle and suppress the remnants of Li Dao these days, and there is no way to enter the city from time to time to ask for peace, and when Xuandang Pingguan Zhong will naturally send the list of meritorious soldiers to it. ”

Zhong Xuan shook his head and sighed and said, "Then Zhongdao, you plan to escort the Son of Heaven back to Luoyang in time?" ”

Wei Xuan said with a look of surprise: "Henan is ruined, Luoyang was burned by Dong Zhuo's fire, the Son of Heaven and the Third Duke should have seen the fire of Luoyang City that day outside the city." The ruined palace was full of ruins, and the beggars of Luoyang City walked around that section. How can the Son of Heaven go back to Luoyang now?

Besides, where should the Son of Heaven go shouldn't be the hussar general and the three public guards, what is the announcement? Didn't the Son of Heaven and the Third Duke think that the Han Dynasty has become so strong that in the era of Emperor Qin and Han Wu, tens of thousands of troops were sent all the way from Chang'an to Luoyang? Although there are some brave soldiers under Xuan's command, Sanhe needs to be garrisoned, and Nanyang and Yingchuan are also surrounded by strong enemies, and Bingzhou is even more Xiongnu and Xianbei people. It's not disrespectful, but I really can't draw extra troops. What's more, the consumption of tens of thousands of people along the way will also be an astronomical amount. At the beginning, there was an imperial tomb to dig, and Xuan Ke could no longer conjure up money. ”

Zhong Xuan's face was very ugly when he heard Wei Xuan's words, but he couldn't blindly blame Wei Xuan. Because Wei Xuan was also a member of the princes, he was able to attack Guanzhong and defeat Li Dao and Guo Yan to take the Son of Heaven from the Xiliang army by relying on his own strength.

But Wei Xuan and his subordinates did not recognize this Son of Heaven and the court, and the degree of respect for the Son of Heaven and the court was actually uncertain in Zhong Xuan's heart.

However, he couldn't directly convey the attitudes of Wei Xuan, Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu and others to the Son of Heaven and Sangong, after all, Wei Xuan was his brother-in-law. But again, he couldn't make a promise to Wei Xuan on behalf of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court.

So Zhong Xuan could only change his identity and tone and asked: "Zhongdao, the people in this Guanzhong have indeed suffered a lot of sins over the years, how do you plan to do it, and if the Son of Heaven returns to the east, how will you face the heroes of the Kanto?" ”

Wei Xuan could hear that Zhong Xuan had put down his identity as an angel and used his in-laws to care about Wei Xuan's next move, so he didn't hide it: "Xuan wants to ask the Son of Heaven to issue a holy decree to establish Yongzhou, thinking that the five counties of Jingzhaoyin, Zuo Fengyi, Right Fufeng, Wudu and Beidi are Yongzhou, and Yongzhou will buffer the disputes between the imperial court and the rebels in Liangzhou." Demolish Nanyang for Nanyang and Nanxiang, and take Sanhe, Hongnong, Nanxiang and Yingchuan as the department of the school captain. ”

Zhong Xuan fell into deep thought when he heard this, Wei Xuan's merger of most of Guanzhong into Yongzhou and even the management division is actually reasonable, after all, Luoyang and Chang'an are separated by thousands of miles, and the westernmost part of the city from Chenggao to Youfufeng is even more ???????????????? Nearly two thousand miles, the current Sili lieutenant is not able to defend the capital Luoyang well.

The newly established Sili School Captain Department of Wei Xuan not only surrounded Henan Yin and the distance was about the same, but the large population was also conducive to the rapid prosperity of Henan.

But this has Wei Xuan and his own selfishness, that is, when Dong Zhuo in the Eighteenth Road Princes Alliance, in order to win over Wei Xuan, he once represented Wei Xuan as the captain of the Si Li, although Wei Xuan did not take it at the time, but he defeated Dong Zhuo and occupied Henan and Hedong, and later Yuan Shao promoted Wei Xuan as the captain of the Si Li, although the court did not admit it, but did not deny it, and Wei Xuan also used this identity to show Sun Jian as the assassin of Yuzhou, and then later seized Hanoi, which also belonged to the Si Li School Captain's Department. Two-thirds of the population of the Sili Lieutenant Department is in Wei Xuan's territory.

And whether it is out of public heart or selfishness, if you want to do these two things, Wei Xuan's power must not be lost to Dong Zhuo and Li Dao and others. I want a record of books! It seems that this is Wei Xuan's first attempt, and I don't know when the Son of Heaven and the Third Duke will be able to react.

Zhong Xuan nodded and asked Wei Xuan: "Then how will I reply to the Son of Heaven and the Third Duke when I go back?" ”

Wei Xuan said without thinking: "General Zuo needs to redeploy the defense, and will leave Zhang Liao and Tai Shici to guard the Guanzhong soldiers to continue to consult the remnants of Li Dao and other thieves, and General Zuo himself will return to Henan to supervise the restoration of the Luoyang Imperial Palace." If the Son of Heaven intends to return eastward, he can ask Dong Hu to ride and escort him to Hedong and even Taiyuan. ”

Zhong Xuan's eyes widened and asked, "Taiyuan?" ”

Wei Xuan nodded: "Not only does it take time to repair the Luoyang Palace, but it also requires huge financial resources. More importantly, Sun Zhan, the middle prince of the Kanto group, the Yuan brothers did not approve that when the son and the imperial court, the day when the Son of Heaven drove Luoyang was the time for them to send troops to deal with Xuan, and Xuan needed time to prepare. ”

Wei Xuan's reason Zhong Xuan can still accept it, after all, everyone wants to do such a good thing as coercing the heavens to make the princes, and the most important thing is that the relationship between the Son of Heaven and Wei Xuan is not close, of course Wei Xuan doesn't want to work hard to take the Son of Heaven back to Luoyang, but the Son of Heaven wants to go to Yuzhou to see, and it is not in vain to go to Jingzhou to see.

With Wei Xuan's vague words, Zhong Xuan can be regarded as having an explanation for the Son of Heaven and the Third Prince.
