Chapter 686: Leveling the World (Part II)
And Dong Zhuo was ruthless, and he had no scruples about using Qiangyi to control the Han Dynasty as the foundation, and directly destroyed a qiē within 200 miles of Luoyang, cut off the dragon veins of the Han Dynasty, and everyone scattered in two.
Luoyang was shocked by the burning of the world, the Han family could not even keep its own country and the people directly under the central government, even the most reckless people also understood that they were disappointed in the Han family, and the trend of people's hearts was a subtle and irreversible change, causing a series of adverse reactions in the world
Liu Bei, who was from the lowest background, but because of his courage and enterprising, he and Cao Cao, Sun Jian and several people shared the remnants of the Eastern Han Dynasty political capital, and the right path after him was to rely on this and Jingzhou Liu Biao, Yizhou Liu Yan, etc. to devour each other, and reunite the dragon spirit, but unfortunately he has missed the time, and it can be said that Liu Yan is also successful and Liu Yan is defeated.
Of course, in fact, with Liu Yan's status, a little setback is nothing, and he is not inactive, under the chaos of the Central Plains, tens of thousands of displaced people in Nanyang and Sanfu entered Yizhou, and Liu Yan was all incorporated and called "Dongzhou soldiers".
Although this military force caused a lot of civil trouble, it became a decisive force in pacifying Zhao Wei's civil strife after Liu Zhang's succession.
After that, Liu Yan wanted to be the emperor, but unfortunately at this time there was a fire in Mianzhu, Liu Yan's city was burned, and the car was also burned to the ground, Liu Yan had to move to Chengdu, and soon died of back sores.
If he doesn't die, this person will definitely lead troops to fight in the future, I am afraid that there is a chance to unify the world, but unfortunately, in the official history, the Mandate of Heaven is no longer in Han.
Ye Qing stood up and walked around, and the two had to follow.
At this time, there was a slight drizzle, it was very cool, everyone had to bear the result for their own choice, and after a thousand years, Ye Qing did not sympathize with Liu Yan, so he said to Liu Fan and Liu Dan: "Although my father is confused, fortunately, the society is unhindered, and since the person is dead, he will still return to the temple in the future." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Rong'en!" The two brothers breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly bowed heavily: "The ministers are willing to persuade Shu to surrender to the full grace of His Majesty." ”
"Well, it's getting late, you go down and rest early, the older generation has passed, and the future of the empire still depends on you clan ......" Ye Qing looked at them with a smile and said.
“...... Rong Chen retired. ”
The two brothers took their leave of Miyagi and sat in the carriage on the way back.
After a long time, the eldest son Liu Fan sighed: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, and His Majesty has said that it is so obvious, how can our courtiers not worry about it?"
"Yes...... Although there is a suspicion of unfilial piety that disappointed his father, Ji Yu is cowardly, and I am afraid that he will not be able to keep Yizhou......"
"In this way, for the sake of my father's death, let's write a book to persuade him to surrender. ”
That night, a letter from home was sent from Luoyang, through a special channel, and quickly passed to Shuzhong, like a sharp dagger, stabbing at Shu.
Shudi, Chengdu.
Originally, the state governance of Yizhou was Mianzhu, but after an inexplicable fire last year, Liu Yan moved the palace to Chengdu.
"The window contains a thousand autumn snow in Xiling, and the door is berthed in the Dongwu Wanli ship. ”
Standing in the position of Du Fu's thatched cottage later, Xiling is the Minshan Mountain in the west of the barrier, there is the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau as a barrier, the climate of the basin is much warmer and wetter than Luoyang, and Dujiangyan makes the Chengdu Plain free of water and drought, agriculture is prosperous at the same time, there is also the development of the well salt industry and iron industry, with the help of the Yangtze River water transportation is prosperous, and the trade is also prosperous, it is undoubtedly a good place to live.
But it is not a place for the emperor to keep his business, and the fully enclosed pattern of Shu is easy to lock the dragon, which is far less than the calm advance and retreat of the semi-enclosed land of Guanlong and Sanqin.
When Liu Bang was stuck here, he had to find a way to "repair the plank road in the open and Chen Cang in the dark" to break through to Guanlong and completely reproduce the basic plate of the Qin State, which was the basis for Xiang Yu's advantage.
The former king of Shu, Liu Yan, also did it, but unfortunately Ye Qing was not Xiang Yu, and slapped back to Shuzhong without waiting for Liu Yan to stand firm.
Compared with his ancestors and fathers, Liu Zhang is indeed a weak person, and received a letter from his brother who received a letter from his brother, the second generation of the king who grew up in the rich Shu land, very well verified what it means to be "born in peace and die in sorrow", "the cub sells his field and is not distressed", and he suddenly moved the mind of surrendering.
"He who is the son of man shall forsake the inheritance of his ancestors. "Huang Quan, the chief secretary of Bashu, and Yan Yan, the general, all tried their best to dissuade them.
Wang Ti even hung himself upside down on the palace gate, admonishing him with death: "Your Majesty - the first king died, and he was betrayed before the three-year filial piety period expired, wouldn't he be ashamed of the people of the world!"
Liu Zhang closed the palace door, out of sight.
There is a interest orientation behind the high-sounding crown, in fact, the closed and fertile Shu land naturally has a tendency to be autonomous, compared to being drawn by the Qin and Han strong central governments, now this is more in line with the interests of the Shu people.
But this is not in the interests of Liu Zhang, the second generation of the king, but even more hatred - these ministers who only think about their own selfish interests, who can understand the fear of the widow!
The Three Gorges waterway was widened day by day, and the Shu Road was basically completed, and Liu Zhang felt that he had been frightened by the defense of Zhao Yun's army for half a year, and he was more willing to believe in another group of ministers, Fa Zheng and Zhang Song, who had built a surrender.
"It's the same clan, the king is willing to surrender, and he will get good results......" Fa Zheng said this, his heart was worried, and when Liu Yan was there, he didn't dare to say this when he was killed.
Liu Zhang paced back and forth in the hall, muttering hesitantly, hesitating, this is a royal business after all, how can it be so easy to give up?
"Emperor Yingwu is generous and will treat the king well...... Don't you see the treatment of obedient waiting?" Zhang Song's eyes were vicious, and he pierced the monarch's worries: "But if you resist the Mandate of Heaven, I'm afraid that you won't even be able to get a white body, and the Shu Road has been built, what can the king resist?"
Under the worries of this group of people, they also have a profit orientation - Fa Zheng is actually from Fufeng County, and his personality is greedy for money, and his hometown has received heavy bribes from the Luoyang Secret Spy Division......
Although Zhang Song is a native of Chengdu, he is bent on making great contributions to the Ming Lord, and when he received the emperor's handwritten letter, he was grateful, and felt that the only one who knew me was the emperor, and bowed in the direction of Luoyang, vowing to serve the emperor, which sold Liu Zhang.
"That's it, I can't bear the blood of the sword soldiers, and the people ......are miserable," Liu Zhang sighed and said, with a look of compassion, before the words fell, only to see a trace of white and red dragon qi, a light green qi, instantly collapsed.
Not to mention the desperation of Yan Yan and the others, in line with the mentality of having long nights and dreams, and the sooner they sell, the more valuable they are, Liu Zhang took the initiative to send Zhang Song as an envoy to meet with Zhao Yun, the general of Zhengnan who was guarding Hanzhong, and couldn't wait to sell Shu land for a good price in exchange for peace and prosperity in the future.
A few days ago, under the moonlight in the garden, Ye Qing, Liu Fan, and Liu Dan were walking and chatting, and the sword that was turned into hit the bull's-eye.
In half a month, Zhao Yun, the general of Zhengnan, sent good news in Shu - Liu Zhang, the queen of Shu, surrendered and surrendered to Chengdu, and Shu was pacified.
In this regard, in addition to sending people to reward the great achievements of the soldiers, the emperor's only action is to sue the Taimiao and the Wahuang Temple: "Today, the next unification, the society is complete, and the people are peaceful, which is to warn." ”
As for Liu Zhang's disposal, Ye Qing compared himself to Liu Adou, the son of the original pit father, and was about to give him an "An Le Gong", but after thinking about it, it was too high to be cost-effective, so he still sealed an "An Le Hou".
The rest is to move Liu Zhang's family to Luoyang, and summon Fa Zheng and Zhang Song to the court, as well as the general Yan Yan, and the family of Wu Yi, the general of the chariot and cavalry - together with his sister Wu, this is also the original queen, I heard that it is a pity to be widowed.
Except for a few insiders and a few advisors from Jia Xu, no one in the court and the opposition realized what the emperor had done, and few people would associate the chatter under the moon that night with the surrender of Shu.
The Luoyang newspaper only praised the mighty general of Zhengnan, and exaggerated the wealth and value of Shudi, and praised the bravery of the soldiers by the way.
"The old era is over, and history is turning a new page".
This is just as the "Sun Tzu" Ji said, "The husband does not fight and the temple is counted as the winner, and it is counted as much", and "the good winner does not fight", that is, the good fighter has no outstanding achievements.
In the midsummer of the fifth year of Yingwu, time moved forward smoothly like this, and after the dragon qi of Luoyang condensed the general trend of the world, all of them were drowned under the mighty water.
The breeze is blowing, the water waves are not exciting, only a little thing.
Saying that the emperor came over on this day, Ye Qing sat for a long time and wanted to take a walk, so he went out of the study with her and walked slowly along the shore of the imperial lake.
"You are a righteous god of society, you enjoy a lot, is there any neglect?"
The emperor looked at the blue water, walked along, and said: "Governing the government is the emperor's business, and I can't take care of it, but when the emperor asks, I will talk about ......."
"In the past, when the society was in turmoil, I did get less enjoyment, the same trickle, but the emperor unified the world, governed the people, restored production, and the people's livelihood was stable, and it was restored again. ”
Ye Qing nodded when he heard this, and said, "Shuzhong has been pacified, and the Han region has been restored." ”
"However, after obtaining the land of Shu, the population under the rule officially exceeded 40 million, and the people's morale looked like this, but there were only 36 million in the books, and there were still 5 million people hiding where, it was obvious. ”
"I'm going to go further and check the people. ”
A gust of wind swept across the lake, and the palace attic and corridor in the distance twisted and turned, and the lake was moored into a sound.
The emperor looked at it, but had other thoughts: "Yes, the emperor was originally bruised, but after he dominated the world, the green spirit gradually disappeared, and the purple spirit increased." ”
"If the household is not included in the book, its qi is only half of it, and His Majesty really wants to check, or it may be able to achieve purple qi. ”
Ye Qing stood still, let the wind blow, and said for a long time: "Achievement of purple qi, don't rely on this, in the past five years, the population and farmland have basically returned to normal production, and the next step is various projects." ”
"A few days ago, someone came to the book, saying that now it is peaceful, the national fortune is thriving, and it is almost prosperous, or traditionally, as long as I keep this, there will be a prosperous era of martial arts, and the rule of martial arts. ”
"But for me, it's only halfway there. ”
"When the world is calm, the elite will be transferred to the border, and the attack will be exhausted, causing the four Yi to bleed. ”
"Then make the four Yi surrender and pay tribute, and our workshop can dump the goods, buy cattle and sheep cheaply, and make sure that they are squeezed cleanly. ”
"It's difficult, but I can still take a few more steps, you are the emperor, you can see what I can do. ”
Hearing this, the emperor didn't speak, and only said for a long time: "The world is a society, everything is difficult, and it is on the shoulders of His Majesty, and please ask Your Majesty to govern and add more glory and support, which is the blessing of the community!"
