Chapter 347: The Son of Heaven's Decision

After finishing his business, Wei Xuanfeng turned back to private affairs and said: "Brother-in-law, Xun Wenruo has done a lot of things for Yingchuan, Henan, Sanhe and even Bingzhou since he came out. After Xun Gongda left Chang'an, he entered a county too much. Chang'an is thousands of miles away from Luoyang, and it is impossible for Xuan to have much energy to estimate Guanzhong, so asking his brother-in-law to guard Guanzhong was the result of Xuan's discussion with several military advisors. I also asked my brother-in-law not to blindly be a pure minister this time, and run around with the Son of Heaven. How about staying in Chang'an and doing some practical things for the people of Guanzhong? ”

Zhong Xuan was a little hesitant, he was not a person who was ambitious in Nanzhong and was bent on climbing up, even if he was a lifelong Huangmen squire by the side of the Son of Heaven, he had no complaints, but Wei Xuan asked him to think about it, he made a big county order many years ago, and it was enough to be a county taishou or Yongzhou assassin. But what does the Son of Heaven say?

Seeing Zhong Xuan's hesitation, Guo Jia couldn't help but persuade: "Mr. Yuan Chang, from Yuan Shao to lead troops into the palace, the Han Dynasty has already existed in name only. Today's Kanto has long been a group of heroes, and who still has ???????????????? in their hearts The Son of Heaven and the Han Family? If it weren't for the lord's efforts to maintain it, the Yuan brothers would have carved up the Kanto region a long time ago, but these two would rather be wiped out by the clan than crusade against Dong Zhuo to rescue the Son of Heaven, and even more want to support others as emperors. If the world's capable ministers like Mr. can only follow the Son of Heaven all year round and have nothing to do, then how can the so-called world peace begin? ”

Xi Zhicai also took the opportunity to persuade him: "Yuan Changzhen guards the pass, the lord can also be trusted, and the generals are also convinced, and they are the most suitable candidates."

Only the strength of the lord is strong enough to suppress those who have different intentions in the world, and can he calm the world and open peace for all generations.

If Mr. follows Yang Wenxian's generation for a long time, sooner or later he will become a toe-shaking quilt who only knows how to sell fame and reputation, and it will not benefit him or the country. ”

Jia Xu looked at Zhong Xuan and said more directly and explicitly: "Good birds choose trees to perch, if Xu has been following Xiangguo, he may have disappeared like Niu Fu and Li Ru at this moment." Wang Situ, who is dedicated to the Son of Heaven and the court to punish Dong Zhuo, is now safe? ”

Zhong Xuan really admires Wei Xuan's strategists, with such a person by Wei Xuan's side, I am afraid that the plan of Yang Wenxian and others will fail. However, thinking of Xun You, who once went from Luoyang to Chang'an with him, Zhong Miao would be a lie if he said that he had no ideals and ambitions. So he didn't reject Wei Xuan, but said that he wanted to think about it carefully and see where the Son of Heaven and the court went before making a decision.

Zhong Miao returned to Chang'an and told the Son of Heaven and the ministers a part of what he could say, but Yang Biao was not happy on the spot: "What does he mean by Wei Zhongdao?" Isn't there still his general's palace when the palace is ruined? Isn't there also a commercial center of Weijia? What about the tens of thousands of people who guarded the Son of Heaven to the east? He fought twice, oh, the guardian of the Son of Heaven is gone? ”

Yang Biao roared in the court, but Dong Cheng couldn't say it, these people under him really just acted as an honor guard for the Son of Heaven, and even took care of the security of Chang'an City, so he took these people to protect the Son of Heaven, and when he encountered a slightly stronger mountain bandit on the way, he was afraid that he would lose the Son of Heaven and the Manchu Dynasty.

The thirteen-year-old son of heaven, Liu Xie, heard that Wei Xuan had no plans to escort him back to Luoyang recently, so he turned to Zhu Jun and Huang Wan. Although Zhu Jun was promoted with martial arts, he was a scholar, and he came to Chang'an to help the Son of Heaven get rid of Dong Zhuo's control. What so many people can't do now, Wei Xuan has done it, and he naturally understands what Wei Xuan wants next.

But Yang Biao didn't even give up power to him and Huang Wan, not to mention that he was as young as Wei Xuan, Yang Biao was afraid of Wei Xuan, and Wei Xuan was the Wei family in Hedong, which was second only to Hongnong Yang's existence in Dahan. The most feared also includes Wei Xuan's father Wei Su is still alive, and the Wei family still has a lot of luxury goods to make money. And the wire-bound book made it possible for the Hedong Weijia to surpass Hongnong Yang. If Wei Xuan is allowed to record Shangshu now, won't Wei Xuan be the whole day after five or ten years?

Zhu Jun can understand Yang Biao's selfishness, but he doesn't approve of it, but he can't say it in front of Yang Biao and the Son of Heaven. So he said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, Zhongdao has set up a academy in Luoyang, and it must have recruited a lot of talents, and now Li Dao and Guo Bian have been defeated, Guo Bian is dead, Li Dao is missing, Guanzhong is in need of great governance, it is better to let him recommend some county magistrates to come up." ”

Yang Biao glared at Zhu Jun when he heard this, he was very dissatisfied with Zhu Jun's delicate approach. Unexpectedly, without waiting for the Son of Heaven to speak, Huang Wan ???????????????? also spoke: "Your Majesty, Wei Zhongdao is from a famous family and studied under Kang Chenggong, both civil and military. If there is chaos today, and the Kanto region rises together, why not entrust him with the affairs of the military state? ”

Yang Biao was shocked when he heard this, Huang Wan, the old puppet, clearly meant that he didn't want to do it well. What is called entrusting the affairs of the military state to him, if four or five years ago, in addition to the military, the Han Dynasty was more important than government affairs, and the Yellow Turban Uprising would have entrusted the affairs of the military state to Huangfu Song. But now it's different, the governors of Bingzhou, Sanhe, Yingchuan, and Nanyang were all appointed by Wei Xuan, and the Liangzhou and Kwantung courts couldn't reach it at all.

Now Zhu Jun proposed to ask Wei Xuan to recommend the county magistrate of Guanzhong, and Huang Wan proposed to entrust the military and state affairs. Then what does the Son of Heaven want the court to do? What else is he doing as a lieutenant?

Yang Biao pointed at Huang Wan and said angrily: "Huang Sikong said lightly, Wei Zhongdao is only twenty-five or six this year, and he is already in the Che Cavalry General County, with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, how can he be trusted?" ”

Huang Wan and Wei Xuan are not a community of interests, and he, like Zhu Jun, is just ordering the Son of Heaven and other ministers, and when he saw Yang Biao angry, he didn't answer, and looked down at the floor.

Liu Xie saw Yang Biao and Huang Wan arguing, and thought that Huang Wan proposed to worship Wei Xuan as a general, he also frowned, but then he relaxed, at least Wei Xuan is not as arrogant as Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Guo Yan, so far he is respectful to him, at least on the surface. Dong Zhuo can be a Xiangguo and a teacher, why can't Wei Xuan be a general? But seeing Yang Biao's expression, he gave up again, if it wasn't for the protection of these Wenchen over the years, I don't know how many times he would have been killed by Dong Zhuo, Li Dao and others.

However, Wei Xuan is not in a hurry to return to Luoyang, he is in a hurry, after all, he doesn't want to bury the inheritance passed down by his ancestors, and he also wants to see how the filling of the imperial tomb dug up by Dong Zhuo's butcher is doing? As for Wei Xuan's saying that the current Luoyang Palace is still in ruins, he doesn't care, from Luoyang to Chang'an for thousands of miles, he has suffered all kinds of hardships.

The little emperor Liu Xie also knew that it was impossible to persuade Wei Xuan by arguing with the three princes and nine secretaries, and as for issuing the edict, Liu Xie felt that it was boring to be self-deprecating. Now the face of the Han royal family is not valuable, not to mention that Wei Xuan's reason is very sufficient.

So he waited until the court was dissolved, leaving Zhong Xuan alone to ask what was going on.

Zhong Miao was also in a dilemma, looking at the young Son of Heaven, Zhong Miao thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, Zhu Situ and Huang Sikong's words make sense. The imperial court has lived in Chang'an for many years, and the imperial court has no soldiers, horses, and no money and food, so how can it command the world when it returns to Luoyang? Why don't you divide part of the power in Zhongdao, so that he can work harder for His Majesty and the court? ”

Liu Xie believes in Zhong Xuan's character, and he will never say good things for Wei Xuan because of his private abolition. So he asked: "Qing thinks that handing over the government affairs of Guanzhong to the guard car will allow me to return to Luoyang as soon as possible?" ”

Zhong Xuan shook his head, so he briefly told Liu Xie what Wei Xuan had heard about the chain reaction brought about by the return of the Son of Heaven. Liu Xie was dumbfounded now, it turned out that Wei Xuan didn't move in Chang'an for his good. It's right to think about it, the Yuan Shao brothers have long had a disobedient heart, Dong Zhuo hijacked the Son of Heaven to move west, and destroyed the Yuan family in Chang'an, these two groups did not move, and they also thought about supporting the new emperor to create conditions for their own promotion. Returning to Luoyang by himself would hinder their freedom???????????????? The free Earth Emperor lived!

As for the Han clan, Liu Dai was killed by the Yellow Turban, Liu Yu was wiped out by Gongsun Zhan, the Eighteenth Route Coalition Army crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Jingzhou Assassin Liu Biao was indifferent, and Yizhou Mu Liu Yan was even more ambitious. As a result, the first thing this gang did when they arrived in Yizhou was to cut off the road and lose contact with the imperial court, and Dong Zhuo and Li Dao had not seen a single Yizhou envoy come in these years of being in power.

After thinking about it, Liu Xie felt that although Wei Xuan was not too friendly to himself and the imperial court, he was much better than the Kwantung Qunxiong and the royal family. The Han family has declined to this point, and he doesn't expect the princes with 100,000 troops to be so respectful to him. But Luoyang must go back as soon as possible, the imperial court has lost contact with Kanto in Chang'an for many years, and those careerists will stand on their own feet as the Son of Heaven does not know life and death. He wants to appear in Luoyang, at least on the surface, he can't give an excuse to rest guys.

Liu Xie thought for a while and asked Zhong Xuan: "Will Wei Zhongdao become a powerful minister like Dong Zhuo?" ”

If this question wasn't for the Son of Heaven asking himself in private, Zhong Xuan didn't want to answer it, saying yes, wouldn't it be a trick for Wei Xuan, saying no, he didn't believe it himself. After a while, Zhong Xuan replied: "Zhongdao studied under Kang Chenggong, and took it as his responsibility to level the world and open peace for all generations. ”

Honest man Zhong Xuan is also playing tricks, if there is chaos today, how difficult is it for the world to be determined? Zhong Xuan meant to let Liu Xie let go and let Wei Xuan do it. The problem is that while sweeping the world, Wei Xuan will also complete the process of centralization! When the world is decided, there may be no one in the government and the opposition who will be able to balance Wei Xuan.

Liu Xie couldn't fully figure it out when he was young, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong. So he turned his mind and asked: "Wei Che rode me to Hedong, do you think it is feasible?" ”

Zhong Miao wanted to cry, but the question still had to be answered, so he said solemnly: "Hedong is where the Wei family is located, I heard that it is thriving now, and there are also a large number of people from various states and counties in Bingzhou going to Tuntian, which should be better than Guanzhong." Zhongdao asked His Majesty to go to Hedong for the sake of improving the living conditions of His Majesty and the princes of the court. ”

Liu Xie nodded: "At this point, I should also go and see how Hedong is under the governance of the Wei Che Cavalry." ”
