Chapter 44: The Eastern and Western Han Dynasty (2)
Liu Xie, the poor son of heaven, has been determined to be a saint since he was a child. But fate teased him, and the emperor he deserved was let his brother sit, although he was puzzled, he was helpless.
originally accepted the reality with peace of mind and became a prince, after all, he had a good relationship with his brother, and the fact that he was not unacceptable.
But fate's teasing of him is not over. When the unreasonable Xiliang soldiers entered Beijing, they couldn't control everything.
Even if he was a little excited at the moment when he was put on the throne, everything was too cruel, and in less than a year, he became a loner. First his father collapsed, and then his dearest grandmother also left, followed by He Hou, who still loved him. Unexpectedly, even his only brother did not escape.
It makes him even more unacceptable, now he lives under the coercion of the rebels every day, he is honestly afraid, the face of the heavenly family has long been swept away, and every time he wakes up from a nightmare, he expects that everything has not happened, and he is still the prince of Xie, who is carefree every day.
But the trembling and frightened days made it clear to him that everything was not a dream. Perhaps the only thing he can hope for is that this tragedy will end soon, and he firmly believes that someone can let him escape from such a life, because he has such a god of war in his heart.
The god of war in his mind, the pillar of the country that his father told him, his Taifu, the general Qilin who can save the people of the Han Dynasty from fire and water.
It's a pity that Xiao Liu Xie can only exist in anticipation, and the virtuous ministers of the country in his heart have not appeared at all.
Fortunately, there are not many virtuous ministers of the Han Kingdom, and when the close ministers secretly told him that the assassins and taishou from all over the country have raised troops to serve the king, he was happy, and he only hoped that that day would come soon. Even if it's not the god of war he trusts the most, what does it matter.
Of course, it would be great if the hope of the heart could appear.
When Dong Zhuo mentioned Zhao Xianchen's entry into Beijing during the court meeting, Liu Xie couldn't help it, he had to test whether his Taifu could appear by his side. But when I saw the terrifying laughter of the rebels, I regretted it a little.
Unexpectedly hearing Liu Xie's thoughts, Dong Zhuo snorted coldly in his heart, how could Jiang Qi pay attention to the current situation, if he would go to Beijing to report on his work, he would not have fled Luoyang overnight.
"As Your Majesty said, Jiang Boxiao, Marquis of Yiyang, is indeed a virtuous minister of my Han Dynasty, otherwise His Majesty would not have canonized him as the pastor of the state before, and added the food to 5,000. Looking around the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, who can govern one side at the age of a weak crown, the minister also expects to be an official in the same dynasty as him. However, His Majesty has just asked him to shepherd one side, and I'm afraid it's not good to change at this moment. ”
"Your Majesty, as Xiangguo said, Your Majesty has just issued an edict to let Yiyang Hou guard one side, and now the state is not peaceful, there are Xiongnu in front and white wave thieves in the back, and Yiyang Hou cannot return to Beijing in a short time." If you want to talk about the world in the world, the people who can make Dong Zhuo jealous, all the officials know it, Jiang Qi also. Jiang Qi not only served as his official twice, but also returned to the state, but in two months, he seized the power of the state with the power of thunder, who can not be jealous of such a person. Now Jiang Qi in Luoyang has long been taboo, when Dong Zhuo mentioned it in front of him, no one dared, at this moment the Son of Heaven also said, I was afraid that Dong Zhuo would have any disadvantages, and the Taifu Yuan Kui, who had lost power, hurriedly came out to relieve the siege.
"Is it that I owe it to consideration, or is it reasonable for Dong Gong, just follow Dong Gong's ......intentions" Hearing Dong Zhuo's wild laughter, Liu Xie immediately realized his gaffe, and when he heard that Yuan Kui had broken the siege, he found a step.
"Your Majesty is wise...... "The power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and the greatest enjoyment is the one who obeys me, he is only displeased, and no one in the court dares to speak, especially the awe of the Son of Heaven, Dong Zhuo is very useful, and immediately smiled.
"I don't know if Dong Gong still has something to report?" Seeing that Dong Zhuo was not angry, Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked. Today's court meeting is not only a hundred officials, but also the last thing he wants to hold, not to mention that Dong Zhuo has the final say on all matters in the court, and the court meeting is just a passing scene, and he just hopes to end it quickly.
"The old man still has something to discuss with His Majesty and colleagues today...... "After finishing the idle matter, Dong Zhuo paced, looking around at the ministers, and entered today's theme.
"What's the matter with Sangkook??" What are you afraid of, you are already frightened, and you don't think that Dong Zhuo has anything to do, Liu Xie is cautious.
"Today, when the old man was on his way to the court, he suddenly heard many children singing a nursery rhyme on the streets of the market. Hearing the curiosity, the old man asked people to write it down and check it. I didn't think about it until I found out that the nursery rhyme suddenly sounded in the market the night before yesterday, and then it was sung by children. At such a strange time, the old man wants to take advantage of today's court meeting to discuss with His Majesty and the ministers. "It's time to get down to business, although I have already decided in my heart, I still want the necessary excuses, after all, it is a major national event, pretending, Dong Zhuo said with a smile.
As soon as he heard Dong Zhuo's words, everyone who had a heart 'chuckled' in their hearts, worried about what was coming.
Only Liu Xie, who didn't know yet, answered innocently: "Nursery rhymes?? What is a nursery rhyme?? ”
For Liu Xie's curiosity, Dong Zhuo didn't need to answer, and then his Ma Zai Hu Ben Zhonglang brought Li Su out: "Your Majesty, by the order of Dong Xiangguo, Weichen inquired about the matter, and the nursery rhyme said: There is a Han in the west, and a Han in the east." When the deer enters Chang'an, there is no difficulty. Nursery rhymes have spread all over the market, and now the people have already talked about it......"
"There is a Han in the west and a Han in the east. When the deer enters Chang'an, there is no difficulty. What does Taifu mean? "The nursery rhyme is very simple, I only listened to Liu Xie once and remembered it, but I was just a child who knew the seriousness of it, and read it curiously.
Nursery rhymes and proverbs have come into being since ancient times, especially the words that suddenly appeared in the market, which are often regarded as hints from the gods to the world, and the meaning is very great, and the people are very convinced.
At this moment, listening to the nursery rhyme of the Son of Heaven, Yuan Kui, who was asked, was very scared, and his meaning was even more understood, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense. Only at a loss, he looked around at the courtiers, hoping to have an idea. It's just a pity that for the hot question, who dares to talk nonsense, the courtiers look at him instead.
But as a high-ranking official for many years, Yuan Kui is not idle, and he can't be helped. In the end, he smiled and sloppily eyes: "Back to Your Majesty, it's just the words of a market child, what can you ......mean?"
Although nursery rhymes come from the mouths of children, they can often be predicted from ancient times to the present. Yuan Taifu is the emperor's teacher, well-read, should have heard of the emperor, there are nursery rhymes in the market: swallow swallowtail salivation, Zhang Gongzi, see each other from time to time. Mumen Canglangen, Yan Feilai, pecked the emperor's grandson, the emperor's grandson died, and the swallow pecked the arrow. And then the nursery rhyme foreshadowing also came true one by one, Emperor Cheng sealed the palm dance Zhao Feiyan as the queen, and his sister Zhao Zhaoyi killed the prince of the harem, and then committed suicide. Now there are nursery rhymes, every word is alarmist, how can you ignore it. Yuan Kui pretended to be garlic, but he couldn't avoid the result, and Li Su immediately retorted.
"Then Li Zhonglang will not know what to say!" What kind of person is Li Su and what kind of purpose is there, Yuan Kui is very clear, and there is no point in arguing with him, so he immediately asked rhetorically.
"I don't dare to take my opinion seriously, but I can explain nursery rhymes for Your Majesty." Helping Dong Zhuo recover Lu Bu and kill Ding Yuan, Li Su also rose to the top, and he was not at all stunned by the hundred officials in the DPRK, and laughed back.
"Since this is the case, then General Li will interpret this nursery rhyme for His Majesty and all the adults in the court...... "The matter has been discussed a long time ago, and then Dong Zhuo also pushed the boat down the river.
The master and slave sang and harmonized, and they had already discussed, and immediately Li Su took a breath and said loudly: "Oh! Back to Xiangguo, back to Your Majesty...... The first two sentences of the nursery rhyme 'a Han in the west and a Han in the east', Chen Si said 'a Han in the west', which should be Gaozu Wang in Chang'an, the western capital, and passed on the 12 emperors; The last two sentences say: 'The deer walks into Chang'an, so there is no difficulty', and the historical records of the 'deer' are explained, and the society is also. Therefore, the minister boldly guessed that this nursery rhyme shows that the fortune of heaven is back, and my Han still wants to prosper and move the capital to Chang'an! ”
Finally, the conspiracy was told word by word, in front of everyone's eyes, above the main hall, many courtiers thought they had heard it wrong, and it can be said that from the day they were born, Luoyang was the capital, but no one thought that one day someone proposed to move the capital.
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, in the face of such nonsense, Situ Yang Biao couldn't sit still, and when he got up, he angrily reprimanded: "Nonsense! My Han Dynasty has been building the capital of Luoyang for more than 160 years since Emperor Guangwu, and it is deeply rooted. ”
"Not bad! The national capital is the foundation of a country and the foundation of the country, not to mention that the current court is chaotic, and the national capital is where the people's hearts are, how can it be changed lightly! "Originally, they were on the same front, not to mention that now that the Kwantung Righteous Army is rising, Dong Zhuo is in danger, and Taiwei Huang Wan can't let this conspiracy succeed, so he immediately got up and showed his attitude.
Dong Zhuo was also surprised when he heard Li Ru's proposal to move the capital to Chang'an, so he also expected the reaction of the hundred officials, but his decision could no longer tolerate opposition from others, not to mention that it had been analyzed that moving the capital was still a matter of Baili, and he immediately said angrily: "What are you doing!" Do! To rebel no! Could it be that Li Huben misinterpreted the nursery rhyme, but the old man felt that the meaning of the nursery rhyme was just like the words of interpretation, which was the revelation given to me by God! Have you ever thought about it, why my Han Dynasty has been in constant turmoil since the abolition of Emperor Kuo's accession to the throne, either there are chaotic people here, or there is an invasion of foreign races. The old man was still puzzled, but now he heard the nursery rhyme and realized that this was Luoyang's exhaustion. My big man wants to re-enter Chang'an to be safe! The old man is an auxiliary minister, and he can't sit idly by when he has established the instructions of God. The old man decided and obeyed the will of God. My Han moved the capital to Chang'an! ”
For Dong Zhuo, who leans towards the government and the opposition, his words are now tantamount to a holy decree. But the matter of moving the capital is not an ordinary thing, it is related to the fortune of the country, how can it be said lightly, in his position, out of duty, the last person of the three dukes, Sikong Xun Shuang, still came out, but it was very tactful: "Dong Gong, I built the capital of Luoyang in the Han Dynasty for more than 160 years, and now I suddenly mentioned that I want to move to Chang'an, not to say that the palace of Chang'an has long been abandoned, just say that the government affairs of various governments, I am afraid that all aspects will not be able to adapt to changes in a few years, whether this matter can be discussed in the long run." ”
"Xun Sikong's words, the old man doesn't know, but this is a revelation from God, how can we be ministers in vain. For the sake of the century-old foundation of my Han Dynasty, the old man has to be cautious, not to mention, Chang'an is the old capital of my Han Dynasty, which was prosperous for a while, and if I move here today, I will be able to restore the former glory of my Han Dynasty. Needless to say! In the face of Yang Biao and Huang Wan, Dong Zhuo could refute without scruples, but when he saw Xun Shuang, the longest of the three princes, he took care of it and said it well.
Of course, not only today, in the court, all the great Confucians, except for Cai Yong, the only one who can make Dong Zhuo so kind is Xun Shuang, among which is not only talented, but also because of the fear of attracting disasters, no one in the world knows that Jiang Qi's wife will go out to the Xun family, which is the biggest reliance.
"But Xiangguo don't forget, the land of Sanfu has been attacked all year round these years, if Your Majesty suddenly moves to Chang'an, there is no danger of Hangu Pass, what should you do if the alien race suddenly attacks! Wouldn't it put His Majesty in danger? Although Dong Zhuo's words were very decisive, Yang Biao refused to back down and immediately retorted.
"Nonsense! The Hu people have just been defeated by Huangfu Song, and then there are tens of thousands of troops in my Xiliang, and I am a big man who can withstand Hu Hu, is Yang Situ underestimating me Dong Zhuo! Maybe what Yang Biao mentioned is true, but Dong Zhuo doesn't admit it, not to mention that his soldiers are strong and strong, he has this confidence.
"Yang Situ's words are not alarmist, my Han Dynasty has been in the past few decades, whether it is Emperor Huan or Emperor Xian's reign, the one who has committed the most crimes is Qianghu of Liangzhou, and now he has taken the liberty of moving the capital, it is really unwise, and Wan does not recommend it!" Something else may be Huang Wan can still take into account Dong Zhuo's deterrence, but the matter of moving the capital is so big that it will be written into the annals of history, he Huang Wan is the third duke, if he does not show his attitude, he may become a historical sinner, even if he clearly echoes Yang Biao again.
"Shut up! Hum! Moving the capital here is a sign from heaven that it is related to the fortune of my Han dynasty! How can you oppose it? The old man has a word, and the matter is decided! No one dared to refute so fiercely for a long time, Dong Zhuoton felt a great loss of face, and the murderous opportunity suddenly appeared in anger.
"Biao is the third duke, moving the capital is such a big event, is it child's play, how can it be said that it is easy to move, Biao is against !!" Now that the words have come to this, even if Dong Zhuo has already blown his beard and glared, Yang Biao refused to back down and insisted on his own opinion.
"Humph! All right! You two don't know the times! Don't do it with the third prince! The matter of moving the capital has been decided in this way, who dares to oppose it again, and the car will be split!! ......"If you can't talk about it, then there is no need to talk about it, not to mention that it is a martial artist, Dong Zhuo immediately made a rude and arbitrary decision.
