The first year of Xingping, June.

Zhang Miao believed that the four counties of Hexi, such as Jincheng and Jiuquan, were far away from the Liangzhou Prefecture and were occupied by the Yellow River thieves, so he proposed to set up another Yongzhou to govern the four counties of Hexi, and recommended Chen Liuren Handan Shang to be the assassin of Yongzhou and govern Wuwei.

Liu Xie adopted Zhang Miao's proposal, and made Zhang Meng, a native of Liangzhou and the son of the late Taichang Zhang Huan, a Wuwei Taishou.

In the same month, civil unrest broke out in Guanzhong.

Due to the drought in Guanzhong, the price of grain has grown wildly, and the price of grain has risen to 500,000 yuan.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there was also a tragic situation of changing children and eating.

Liu Xie was shocked when he heard the news, and urgently ordered Hou Wen, the servant, to divide the stored grain and rice in Taicang to give porridge to help the hungry, but Hou Wen withheld the grain and rice, so that the deceased remained the same.

Liu Xie, who was shocked to hear about this, personally measured the rice in front of the throne to make porridge, and only then did he know that Hou Wen dared to be greedy for grain and rice in this situation.

In a fit of rage, Liu Xie sent Liu Ai to investigate and punish Hou Wen.

Although many hungry people are safe, this rice is not endless.

At this time, Liu Xie also encountered the same difficulties as Liu Bei when he was helping 500,000 hungry people in Qingzhou.

How do you keep the hungry alive until the next year's autumn harvest?

And how can we ensure that the next year's autumn harvest will be a good harvest?

Although Zhang Miao repeatedly assured that as long as the dispatch was reasonable, and then ordered Yizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Jingzhou to transport grain and rice into the customs, the hungry people could survive the autumn harvest next year, but Liu Xie's guarantee to Zhang Miao was bottomless.

Hou Wen is a servant of the imperial history.

If an official of the imperial court violates the law, he will generally report to the emperor after the imperial history of the imperial history, and the number is embroidered and directed.

Liu Xie's original idea was that if an ordinary official went to such a major event as disaster relief, he might be able to enrich his own pockets.

There will definitely be no problem if the servant is in charge.

As a result, Liu Xie's convinced servants dared to be greedy for grain and rice to help the hungry!

How many officials in the DPRK and China are still corrupt openly and secretly?

Support until the autumn harvest next year?

Liu Xie didn't have this confidence at all!

"Zongzheng, I want to move the capital back to Luoyang, what do you think?" Liu Xie summoned Zongzheng Liu Ai, with the meaning of moving the capital.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei both persuaded Liu Xie to move the capital, and at first, Liu Xie, like the minister, felt that moving the capital was a matter of labor and money.

However, as soon as this drought came, Liu Xie suddenly felt that Cao Cao and Liu Bei were prescient.

Although going to Luoyang will not change the drought, Liu Xie has more choices after moving the capital.

Even if it is to transport grain to various states for disaster relief, it is more convenient to send it to Luoyang than to Chang'an!

Liu Ai knew what Liu Xie was thinking, but his face was embarrassed: "Your Majesty, the general, Situ and Shangshu will not agree to move the capital." ”

"Not only do they disagree, but the ministers and officials will not agree to move the capital."

Liu Xie's face suddenly became gloomy: "I am already pro-government, can it be that the general, Situ Monk, still dare to follow Dong Zhuo and Li Dao?" ”

Liu Ai sighed secretly and said: "Even if Your Majesty is in power, you can't ignore the opposition of the ministers and officials, otherwise the people's hearts will be unstable in the future, who is willing to listen to Your Majesty's orders?" ”

Liu Xie is still too young.

The emperor, if he is not pro-government, will definitely be able to order the ministers and hundreds of officials, and order and prohibit.

Lu Bu, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong only returned to Liu Xie for the sake of nominal righteousness, but it does not mean that Liu Xie can be allowed to come!

Liu Xie snorted coldly: "Do I have to stay here in Chang'an all the time, in a safe corner?" ”

Liu Ai proposed: "If Your Majesty really wants to move the capital, you can summon the northern general into the court!" ”

Liu Xie was moved when he heard this: "I heard that Qingzhou is rich, why don't you let General Zhengbei send troops to answer and escort me to Qingzhou?" ”

Liu Xie did not come up with this idea temporarily.

Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others often mentioned Liu Bei in front of Liu Xie, deliberately trying to make Liu Xie jealous of Liu Bei.

If there was no drought, Liu Xie might have believed it.

But as soon as the drought came, Liu Xie suddenly felt that this Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others were not really loyal ministers.

In addition, after being pro-government, Liu Xie gradually gained a certain understanding of the emperor's balancing technique.

Going to Qingzhou can not only avoid the problem of Liu Bei's self-respect for his troops, but also use Liu Bei's power to balance the forces of Lu Bu, Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and the old ministers in the court.

Kill three birds with one stone!

Liu Ai also said: "The minister has been to Qingzhou many times as an envoy, and he also knows a lot about the general of Zhengbei. ”

"General Zhengbei has always respected His Majesty, whether it was the capture of Liu Dai or the capture of Yuan Shu, he did not kill without authorization, but escorted him to Chang'an and handed it over to His Majesty."

"The general of Zhengbei has never asked His Majesty for an official position, such as Zang Hong, Cao Cao, Tao Qian and others, all took advantage of the fire to rob and ask His Majesty for the position of state pastor."

"If there is anyone in this world who can truly assist Your Majesty, it must be the general of Zhengbei!"

The minister also heard that before his death, Lu Shangshu also left his last words: General Zhengbei is a relative of His Majesty, and his wife is the niece and daughter of Emperor Huan, who has a lot of relationship with His Majesty, and is also a person that His Majesty can absolutely trust. Give the festival 'False Festival', and the general of Zhengbei will definitely calm down the thieves in the world for His Majesty. ”

"The minister also heard that there are many wise men in the world, and there are many who go to Qingzhou to attach themselves to the general of Zhengbei."

"In Chang'an City, there are many ministers who compete for power and profit, but there are not many ministers who are willing to do practical things for His Majesty."

"If Your Majesty goes to Qingzhou, you can let General Zhengbei recommend talents for Your Majesty's use."

"Your Majesty's grace to General Zhengbei and the sages of Qingzhou can not only show the style of the Ming Jun, but also make the General Zhengbei and the sages of Qingzhou grateful to Your Majesty."

"His Majesty personally led the troops of the six states to compete with the puppet emperor and Yuan Shao, and in the history books of later generations, it will inevitably be recorded that His Majesty is the king of Zhongxing!"

Liu Ai said this beautifully, not only saying Liu Bei's loyalty to Liu Xie, but also touting Liu Xie as Zhongxing Mingjun.

Liu Xie was overjoyed: "I also have this idea, but I mistakenly believed the words of Zhang Miao and Chen Gong before, and I was worried that the power of General Zhengbei was too strong to control, and I had some misunderstandings about General Zhengbei." ”

"Lao Zong Zheng will go to Qingzhou again, please enter the Hajj to see the general of Zhengbei!"

Liu Ai said again: "Your Majesty, if you just recruit the northern generals into the court, I am afraid that Lu Bu, Zhang Miao and others will take the opportunity to make trouble." His Majesty wants to move the capital, and he has to grant the edict of the general Zhengbei to lead troops into the court. ”

Liu Xie pondered for a moment and said, "Zong Zheng's words are reasonable. This is indispensable for harming people, and it is indispensable for guarding against others. I immediately wrote an edict, and Zongzheng immediately sent it to Qingzhou. ”

What Liu Xie and Liu Ai didn't expect was that this conversation was listened to by Zhang Ting, the little eunuch next to him.

This little eunuch Zhang Ting received a lot of benefits from Zhang Miao and Chen Gong on weekdays, and when he heard this secret, he suddenly felt that the wealth was coming.

And so.

The little eunuch Zhang Ting found an opportunity to report this secret conversation to Zhang Miao in as much detail as possible.

Zhang Miao was so shocked that he stood up, staring at Zhang Ting with a vicious look: "What you said is true?" ”

Zhang Ting was taken aback by Zhang Miao's killing intent, and hurriedly swore an oath: "How dare the villain deceive Situ? Zongzheng Liu Ai has already gone to Qingzhou to announce the decree. ”

"If Situ doesn't believe it, you can check it out."

Decrees are usually made in duplicate, one for proclamation and one for retention.

Because Liu Xie was pro-government, he didn't make any secret edicts, but just drafted a holy decree and asked Liu Ai to take it to Qingzhou.

And Zhang Miaoming also respects Liu Xie on the face and will not easily interfere with Liu Xie's holy decree.

But now, Zhang Miao suddenly found that he was wrong, and he was wrong.

If it weren't for this little eunuch Zhang Ting telling the truth, Zhang Miao wouldn't have imagined that Liu Xie would choose to believe Liu Bei!

"Your Majesty, you have failed the loyalty of your ministers!" Zhang Miao clenched his fists.

Zhang Miao immediately summoned Lu Bu and Chen Gong to discuss.

Hearing that Liu Xie had secretly ordered Zongzheng Liu Ai to go to Qingzhou to announce the decree, and wanted to recruit Liu Bei, the general of the north, to enter Chang'an and move the capital to Qingzhou, Lu Bu and Chen Gong's faces also became ugly.

When they were in Guanzhong, with their current status, they were all constrained by the old ministers of the public secretary and the powerful clan of the Guanzhong clan, and when they went to Qingzhou, who would recognize them as the three generals, Situ monks?

Qingzhou, that's Liu Bei's territory!

Even if it was Lu Bu, he would not be stupid enough to think that after moving the capital to Qingzhou, he could continue to be this general!

"It would be impossible for Ben to agree to His Majesty's relocation of the capital to Qingzhou!" Lu Bu took the lead in expressing his position: "Whoever grabs the general with Ben will kill whomever Ben will kill." ”

From a brave soldier in a state to a general step by step, Lu Bu has achieved the highest achievement of ordinary people, how can he easily give up this position?

Chen Gong said in a condensed voice: "It seems that our Majesty already knows how to balance the courtiers. ”

"I didn't go to Luoyang, nor did I go to Cao Cao's Xu County, but directly chose Liu Bei's Qingzhou."

"It's because Your Majesty knows very well that Liu Bei is a relative of the Han family, and he has always regarded himself as a loyal minister of the Han family, so he will definitely not follow Dong Zhuo, Li Dao and others to abuse power."

"When I went to Qingzhou, I could not only use Liu Bei's power to balance the power of the three of us in the court, but also use the mechanism to balance Yang Biao, Ma Riyan and other former ministers."

"Divide the DPRK and China camps into three factions, let me and others contain each other, and Your Majesty can sit firmly on the throne."

Zhang Miao snorted coldly: "We are waiting to save Your Majesty between fire and water, but Your Majesty does not miss our old feelings, and only thinks about sharing our power." No wonder everyone says that since ancient times, emperors have mostly been cold-tempered. ”

"To go to Qingzhou, it is better to go to Cao Mengde's Xu County."

Zhang Miao was angry in his heart, and he was also saying willful angry words at this time.

Chen Gong calmly analyzed: "The Son of Heaven wants to move the capital, and Qingzhou is not the only choice. ”

"If you want to be biased towards the old ministers of the court, you can move the capital to Hongnong; If you want to favor Liu Bei, you can move the capital to Qingzhou; If you want to favor Cao Cao, you can move the capital to Xu County. ”

"If we want not to be constrained, we can only ask Your Majesty to move the capital to Chenliu!"

"Before His Majesty ascended the throne, he was the king of Chenliu, but now that Guanzhong is in chaos, it is also in line with the rules to move the capital to Chenliu."

"Only when we get to Chenliu will we not be constrained by the Haoqiangshi clan in Guanzhong, a single drought can make the people's grievances boil, and the price of grain will grow wildly, which is really ridiculous."

Zhang Miao also calmed down and agreed with Chen Gong's proposal: "Since Your Majesty feels that you don't want to stay in this pass, then go to Chen Liu!" ”

"Chen Liu already has a princely palace, and there is no need to build a palace when you go to Chen Liu."

"Tomorrow morning, the general monk Shangshu, will join me to invite Your Majesty to move the capital to Chenliu!"

Zhang Miao originally didn't want to move the capital, after all, this move to Chenliu was too close to Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

But now, Zhang Miao had to agree to move the capital.

Liu Xie is about to prepare to move the capital to Qingzhou!

Even if Zhang Miao and others can object, if Liu Xie insists on moving the capital, the ministers and ministers can't stop it.

When Liu Bei comes, Liu Xie will have something to rely on, and who will dare to disobey if he mentions moving the capital again?

And Cao Cao of Xu County will inevitably come to intervene!

Instead of letting Liu Xie move the capital to Linzi City or Xu County, it is better to move the capital to Chenliu.

At least in Chen Liu, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong can command the scholars of Yanzhou to be strong!

Lu Bu has no opinion on this proposal.

went to Chen Liu, Lu Bu is still a general, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong need Lu Bu's force!

Following.

As soon as Liu Xie came to the court, Zhang Miao changed his previous style and took the initiative to ask Liu Xie to move the capital.

This operation stunned Liu Xie and the rest of the ministers.

"Situ, why did you move the capital?" Liu Xiexin was puzzled and didn't know Zhang Miao's true intentions.

Zhang Miao had long expected Liu Association's inquiry, and said without thinking: "Your Majesty, although there is a great drought in Guanzhong, the scholars have enough rice. ”

"If it weren't for their hoarding and raising prices, how would it have caused the current miserable situation in Guanzhong?"

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there will be a scandal of Yi Zi eating it, this is an insult to Your Majesty!"

"However, the strong and powerful scholars in Guanzhong are intertwined and difficult to eradicate, and there are also those who collude with them among the ministers, and it is impossible to completely eradicate them."

"If Your Majesty wastes his energy on the battle with the powerful and powerful Sergeant Guan, how can he select and use his talents, train elite soldiers, and complete the great cause of helping the world?"

"In this case, it is better to move the capital to the east and find a real place for Longxing!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of some ministers of the DPRK and the central government suddenly became ugly, and the eyes that looked at Zhang Miao became more resentful.

Liu Xie saw that Zhang Miao was talking about things, and asked tentatively: "I don't know where Situ thinks the capital should be moved?" ”

Zhang Miao said loudly: "Your Majesty used to be the king of Chenliu, but now he is the son of heaven, it can be seen that Chenliu is the real land of Longxing!"

"As long as Your Majesty is willing to move the capital to Chenliu, Dongke can order Zang Hong, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Nanke, Cao Cao, Liu Biaotai, Shi Ci, gather the power of the six states, and defeat the puppet emperor and Yuan Shao."

"In this way, Your Majesty will definitely be able to complete the feat of Zhongxing in the world!"

"Minister, Situ Zhang Miao, I implore Your Majesty to move the capital to Chenliu, the Northern Expedition to the puppet emperor, and revive the Han Dynasty!"

And after Zhang Miao finished speaking, Lu Bu and Chen Gong also appeared one after another.

"Minister, General Jianwei Lu Bu, I implore Your Majesty to move the capital to Chenliu, the Northern Expedition to the puppet emperor, and revive the Han Dynasty!"

"Minister, Shangshu Chen Palace, I implore Your Majesty to move the capital to Chenliu, the Northern Expedition to the puppet emperor, and revive the Han Dynasty!"

For a moment, the hall was silent.

A general Jianwei, a Situ, and a Shangshu, the three people who are in charge of most of the power in the DPRK and the central government, are now imploring Liu Xie to move the capital to Chenliu.

If there is no premeditation, no one will believe it!

Liu Xie's face gradually turned blue.

Yesterday, Liu Ai was asked to go to Qingzhou, and today Lu Bu, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong changed the normal state of opposing the relocation of the capital and took the initiative to move the capital to Chenliu!

In this palace, there must be Zhang Miao's people!

In the crowd, Zhong Xuan's face also became solemn.

"If the capital is moved to Chenliu, Wen Ruo's plan will fall through again."

"The news must be sent to Xu County as soon as possible!"

Zhong Xuan is a native of Yingchuan and a good friend of Xun Yu, so he naturally hopes that Liu Xie can move the capital to Xu County instead of Chen Liu!

Liu Xie: Once, I had an extremely correct decision, but unfortunately, they were all against me!
