Chapter 179: Dealing with it

In the first month of the fifth year of Yongjia (311), there was not much laughter and laughter for the soldiers and civilians of Luoyang.

A lot of people have left, and now there are more than 100,000 people living in Luoyang City and the suburbs of Qi County.

Even if you count the people, fort households, and displaced people in several counties in the suburbs, the overall is only more than 300,000.

This is the devastation that war brings.

When you think about the Taikang prosperous era, the entire Henan County had more than 750,000 household registrations in Ji, and the actual situation is likely to exceed one million, plus the floating population, I don't know how many.

In the past 30 years, Luoyang, as the center of the world, has seen its household registration cut by half, agriculture has withered, commerce has been intermittent, and in the past four years, the capital has been besieged three times, and the image of the death of the country has become more and more obvious.

In terms of politics, since Wang Jun led the history of Jizhou, the prestige of the imperial court has become lower and lower, and many people have begun to take the imperial court seriously.

In terms of goods, the huge Luoyang completely relied on the Jing, Yang, Hunan, Jiang, Xu, and Qing prefectures, which had suffered less damage from the war, to provide taxes and food. Now that Jingzhou is in turmoil, Qingzhou has also started a war, coupled with the reduction of the prestige of the imperial court, I don't know how many grains of grain can be shipped this year.

It's really too difficult for the imperial court.

Based on such a predicament, this year's Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting was very shabby and shabby, which made Sima Chi, the Son of Heaven, very angry, and he did not ease his breath until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

On this day, the palace made minced beans and invited relatives to gather together.

As the sister of the Son of Heaven, the princess of Xiangcheng, Sima Yu, of course, also received an invitation.

Queen Liang Lanbi took her hand and wandered around the courtyard.

Sima Yuyuan looked at this brother-in-law and was slightly envious.

At the age of twenty-four, she is at the most beautiful age in a woman's life, with a little mature charm in her youth, she has been a queen for a few years, and she has developed a bit of bearing, which reminds Sima of herself when she was young.

As her father's favorite daughter, her dowry was many times that of others, and she was beautiful and beautiful, and finally married into the royal family.

Alas, the past is unbearable.

Maybe it's also at fault, he was too domineering and didn't take her husband seriously, and to this day, it's too late to say anything.

It was impossible for her to forgive Wang Dun, and it was impossible for Wang Dun to forgive her, so that's it.

The relationship between the queen and the Son of Heaven looks good.

However, according to Sima Yuyuan's observation, between the two, perhaps the queen prefers the Son of Heaven, but the Son of Heaven doesn't care much about the queen.

"The queen and Her Majesty have been married for several years, and they have no heirs?" As they walked, the two of them had come to a garden, and Sima asked casually.

Liang Lanbi's face was first red, then white, and finally glanced at Sima Yuyuan in a little panic.

Sima Xuan didn't know why, what was there to be worried about?

The Son of Heaven not only has no heirs with the queen, but also has no children with all the concubines.

Yongjia has been five years, plus during the period of King Yuzhang, the Son of Heaven, who has been married for seven years, not only has no sons, but also no daughters, which is obviously not the queen's problem.

As for being so alarmed?

Liang Lanbi's hands clenched subconsciously, she thought that the princess knew something, so she said, "The princess Hugh wants to mention this matter again." Your Majesty is just worried about state affairs, it's too tiring, just rest and rest. ”

Sima was dumbfounded.

Liang Lanbi walked a few steps quickly, pointed to the plum blossoms in front of him, and said: "In winter, only the plum blossoms are dark and fragrant, which makes people feel happy. ”

Sima Yu hummed lightly, still thinking about what Empress Fang Cai said.

After a long time, he sighed.

Perhaps, the previous melee between the kings was too cruel, and the king of the East China Sea was too unkind to the Son of Heaven, so that this.

Liang Lanbi saw that the princess was absent-minded and stopped talking.

After a pause, he said softly: "I heard that the princess has a lot of dealings with Chen Hou......

"Listen to whom?" Sima Xuan narrowed his eyes and asked.

Others are afraid of the queen, but she is not afraid. Liang Lanbi actually mentioned this in front of her, so don't blame her for not giving face.

Liang Lanbi didn't seem to see Sima Xuan's face, and said to herself: "If the princess still cares about the love of flesh and blood, she might as well share more worries for Your Majesty." ”

"Is this Your Majesty's intention?" Sima asked in a hurry.

The meaning is very clear, the Son of Heaven doesn't know where he heard the rumors, thinking that she has some ulterior relationship with Chen Hou, and he actually wants the queen to persuade her to be careful and find out the news.

Hehe, it's really the style of the Son of Heaven.

"That's what I meant." Liang Lanbi said.

Sima Yu sighed and asked, "Does the queen know that if you say this, if anything happens in the future, you will inevitably take a trip to Kim Yong City?" ”

Liang Lanbi's face turned pale, and then she thought of the increasingly frowning brows and sad face of the Son of Heaven, shook her lips, and said firmly: "It is I who share your worries for Your Majesty." If not, forget it, don't let Chen Hou know. ”

Sima was speechless.

Although Chen Hou is domineering, it is impossible to openly disadvantage the Son of Heaven.

This kind of thing was done by King Zong, and even Xun Fan and Wang Yan could barely do it, but Chen Hou couldn't do it.

Is it so necessary to target him?

Don't make it to the end, the only person willing to defend Luoyang is also disheartened and unwilling to contribute any more.

Sima Xuan didn't understand, what good is this for the Son of Heaven? Why do you love tossing so much?

"The queen mother is the world, and Ze is born. If the Son of Heaven has been, he should admonish him, and don't blindly connive at it. Sima Xuan said sternly: "Chen Hou has no objection. The rumors must be the plan of the Huns, and they should not be true. Besides, Chen Hou is forty-four years old, at such a young age, he is even reluctant to be too guarded, let alone the assassin history and governor of a state, how can he be opposed? ”

Liang Lanbi bowed her head and was silent.

Sima Xuan looked at her appearance, and said angrily, "If you are inconvenient, I will advise the Son of Heaven." ”

Liang Lanbi subconsciously wanted to stop it, but finally sighed secretly and gave up.

Perhaps, she didn't approve of the Son of Heaven doing this very much.

In this world, the more you toss, the easier it is to make mistakes, and the worse the result.

But what can she do?

******

On the twenty-first day of the first month, Sima Chi summoned the Xun Fan and Xun Group brothers to the palace to discuss matters.

"Gou Dao will break Cao Wei in Linzi." Seeing the two ministers, Sima Chi smiled and couldn't wait to announce the report he had just received.

This is the second war between Gou Xi and Cao Wei.

Both times were under Linzi City, and both times Gou Xi won the victory.

Especially this time, Gou Xi did not encounter the wind in the fate, and Gou Chun in Linzi City inside and outside the attack, in one fell swoop to break the enemy - the history of the two sides of the battle in the first month of the fourteenth, when the troops were exchanged, the wind suddenly made a big blow, the dust was all over the sky, although it was morning, the sky was dark, and the wind direction was unfavorable to Gou Xi's army, so he retreated, Cao Wei took advantage of the situation to pursue, the Xi army was defeated, and there were many descenders.

But the time of the battle between the two sides in this time and space has changed, and Gou Xi did not encounter the wind and sand that made his soldiers unable to shoot arrows, unable to breathe in his mouth and nose, and unable to stand on his feet, and defeated Cao Wei in one fell swoop and won the second battle.

This is fate, good fate, bad fate, it is not clear.

But Gou Xi also failed to drive Cao Wei out of Qingzhou, which was due to his political defeat.

Cao Wei led 5,000 people eastward, and when he arrived in Qingzhou, he gathered a large number of Jizhou and Yanzhou generals, and the number reached tens of thousands.

Subsequently, Heavenly Master Dao believers came to vote one after another, and provided guides, intelligence, money, food, and weapons.

The most desperate thing is that some Qingzhou scholars would rather fund the anti-thief Cao Wei, but also resolutely kill the assassin Shi (Gou Chun) and the governor (Gou Xi) appointed by the imperial court, especially Gou Xi, who is known as "Uncle Tu".

It can be said that Cao Wei's mass base in Qingzhou is very good, and Gou Xi's situation is very bad, except for his generals, everyone is happy to see him die.

However, Cao Wei's army had too many recruits and weak combat effectiveness, although the number was several times that of Gou Xi, but it suffered two defeats in a row.

In contrast, although Gou Xi only had 10,000 or 20,000 troops, he was strong, experienced, and well-trained.

Between these two people, there will probably be a fight.

As for who will win? If Shao Xun is allowed to evaluate, he only has one sentence: "Military is the continuation of politics." ”

But Sima Chi, the Son of Heaven, was very excited, he felt that Gou Dao's sword was not old, and he was still a member of the imperial court, which could be of great use.

When Xun Fan and Xun Group heard the news, they didn't have much joy.

In their opinion, they have not heard of Uncle Fang who can still sit firmly after losing the support of the scholars.

Gou Xi's methods in Qingzhou are fierce, persecuting the scholars, and he is known as "Tu Bo".

It is arrogant and lascivious, and it neglects government affairs, which is a big disappointment.

His reputation has gone terribly bad, and not many people support him.

In troubled times, it is not enough to rely on a strong army.

You also have to have the support of the family, otherwise there is no second way but to fall.

To put it mildly, even Shi Le knows how to build a "gentleman's camp" to envelop the Hebei Shi clan, and at this point, Gou Xi is not even as good as Shi Le, let alone the "too white".

He was obviously doing something that harmed the interests of the scholars, but his methods of pulling one faction and fighting one faction were very skillful, which really made people wonder if he was only twenty-four years old - and fortunately he was only twenty-four years old, if he was older, there would not be so many objections to being Fang Bo.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Xun Fan bowed down and congratulated: "If Gou Dao will make persistent efforts to capture and kill Cao Wei, Qingzhou will turn the corner from danger to safety." ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty." The Zhongshu supervisor Xun Group also said: "The Gou brothers have repeatedly broken the stubborn enemy, and Your Majesty has won the favor." ”

Sima Chi laughed heartily twice and said, "What reward should I give to Gou Dao?" ”

Xun Group didn't speak, Xun Fan pondered for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty may be able to be a nobleman." ”

"Tell me." Sima Chi said.

"Increase the number of food estates to 10,000 households."

When Sima Chi heard this, he nodded happily and said, "Qing's words are very agreeable, and they can increase the number of households to 10,000 households." ”

"Your Majesty." Xun Group said: "Gou Xi has the merit of breaking Cao Wei, and the reward is a matter of course. Nanzhong Lang's general Shao Xun also has the power to protect Cao Yun, defeat Hou Tuo, and Wang Sang's merits, or increase his food. ”

When Sima Chi heard this, his expression flickered a little.

Why are so many people around me talking to Shao Xun?

First of all, the imperial sister and Princess Xiangcheng said that Shao Xun was a minister of the imperial court and should be rewarded. Now, the Xun group of the Chinese book supervisor also asks for credit for Shao Xun.

Looking at Xun Fan, who had a grudge against Shao Xun for killing his son, he did not object, which made Sima Chi even more puzzled.

Is it so difficult for me to deal with a courtier?

He looked at the two courtiers.

Er Xun lowered his head and was silent.

After a long time, Sima Chi snorted lightly and said, "Then Shao Xun will be named the Duke of Chen County, and there will be 6,000 households." ”

"Your Majesty." The two said.

Sima Chi felt uncomfortable, and secretly had to contact Gou Xi secretly.

So he decided not to talk about this issue, and instead said: "Let's discuss the matter of Zhou Fu......
