Governor please stay

Little Huayin obviously couldn't satisfy Gao Yang's appetite. Seeing that no one in Guanzhong came to resist, he took Baibao Xianbei all the way to Zheng County (Hua County, Shaanxi).

Zheng County is a rare big city in Guanzhong, at the foot of Huashan Mountain, on the only way to Chang'an.

Many households in the city are very prosperous, so it is naturally impossible for no one to be stationed.

Gao Yang sent someone to inquire about it. The Zheng county guard's name is Wei Xuan, he is an unknown person, and he leads the village soldiers to protect himself. He has not yet been recruited by Hou Mo, Chen Shun and the others.

There are quite a few people like Wei Xuan in Guanzhong. Although they rejected the government orders of Hou Mo, Chen Shun and others, they did not participate in their battles with Da Xiwu and He Bayun.

After understanding the situation, Gao Yang was relieved. He felt that it would be okay to cooperate with him without waiting for Gao Yue to lead the troops back, so he ordered Tang Yong and She Difu, the son of She Digan, to lead the attack and storm Zheng County!

In Gao Yang's eyes, a mere Wei Xuan didn't know where he was from before, and he had never heard of any record. It shouldn't take an hour to capture Zheng County, right?

However, what surprised him was that one or two defenders of Zheng County resisted desperately. When they were exhausted, they would rather fall into the city with Baibao Xianbei who was attacking the city, and resolutely fight to the death without retreating!

Wei Xuan's command was determined, and he calmly dispatched troops to defend the city.He repelled five attacks organized by Tang Yong in a row, while Gao Yang's men and horses hadn't even captured a corner of the city wall, and they were suppressed all the way and couldn't move!

What Gao Yang didn't know was that news of his burning of Puban had spread to Zheng County. Everyone in Zheng County was very afraid of the Wei army slaughtering the city, so they desperately resisted and refused to take a step back.

If you don't fight, you will die, and if you fight, there is still a chance of survival. It is clear at a glance how to choose.

In fact, Wei Xuan is not an unknown person, he was full of ambition when he was young, and he was famous in the village for his courage and strategy, but he never had the opportunity to play it under He Bayue's command.

When Gao Huan and He Bayue fought fiercely at Mang Mountain, tens of thousands of people from the two armies gathered in the narrow area between Mang Mountain and Luoyang. Even though Wei Xuan was full of courage and superb martial arts skills, he couldn't show his own strength.

He was able to retreat completely in the melee without being hunted down by Gao Huan's soldiers and horses, which was already very capable.

It's just that Gao Yang didn't know about these things. In this world where success or failure is judged by heroes, Liu Yishou, who is in a high position, has the opportunity to justify himself, and someone like Wei Xuan who has no chance to stand out has no chance to defend himself.

If you lose, you lose. How can a defeated general speak bravely!

But now that Guanzhong is in chaos, a person like Wei Xuan is destined not to sink, and the opportunity to become famous has come.

……

"Why can't you attack Zheng County! Why can't you attack Zheng County! What's wrong!"

In the hall of the county government office in Huayin County, Gao Yang was walking around in a panic, while She Di Fulian, Tang Yong and others did not even dare to vent their anger.It is also true that they are short of troops now, but they never thought that the local soldiers in Zheng County could be so brave.

If Zheng County cannot be captured, the consequences will be very serious.

"My lord, Wei Xuan was not well-known before, but now it seems that talent is rare. Why don't you write a book and send it to Zheng County for your own use, my lord?

Under the ebb and flow, the Lord's great event can be expected! "

Seeing that Gao Yang had calmed down, Tang Yong suggested calmly.

"No, or it's useless to send it. It will only damage the dignity of our army and make that Wei Xuan thief even more rampant."

Gao Yang waved his hand, flatly rejecting Tang Yong's suggestion.The casualties of the defenders in Zheng County are not small now. It is a bit exaggerated to say that every family died, but it is inevitable for many families in the city to have funerals.

The hearts of the people in the city have been united, and they will never die with them.

At this time, even if Wei Xuan wanted to surrender, he had to worry about what his subordinates thought.

Besides, if he persuaded him to surrender before the fight started, Wei Xuan might agree.

But the obvious fact is: when he first persuaded him to surrender, Wei Xuan didn't think much of Gao Yang at all, so he refused directly, and didn't even bother to write a letter.Tang Yong's words were just to comfort himself, not of much use.

How could Wei Xuan agree to such a request now?

"When will Gao Yue return to the teacher, and where are his troops?"

Gao Yang asked with a worried expression.The news of Gao Yue's defeat had already reached Gao Yang's ears, but Gao Yang didn't understand why Gao Yue's movements were so slow!

Is it because the road is not easy to walk...or Gao Yue doesn't want to go at all?

"Returning to my lord, Gao Yue hasn't arrived at Puban yet. Gao Yue's soldiers and horses were defeated in Pingyang, and now they are retreating to Dingyang County for repairs. It is estimated that they will not be able to reach Guanzhong for a while."

Tang Yong said with a guilty conscience.

What the hell is Gao Yue thinking, even a blind person can understand it!He didn't want to follow Gao Yang's road to the dark. If the road in Guanzhong is not easy, it doesn't rule out that Gao Yue leads his troops back to Yecheng!

Of course, this was an extreme situation. Even if Gao Yue returned to Yecheng, Gao Huan would definitely punish him. Gao Yue would not choose this path unless he had to.

So now that Gao Yue is "on the sidelines" in Dingyang County, what is on his mind is probably about to come out.

Before Gao Yang opens up the situation, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get Gao Yue's full support.But if he can open up the situation, not only Gao Yue, but also other people may join him.

"Hedong Xue family, Pei family, their people, would you like to enter the pass with us?"

Gao Yang asked in a deep voice.

Tang Yong didn't know how to answer this question. Zhao Yanshen went to Hedong and hasn't returned yet. Who knows what the local rich people in Hedong think?

……

In March of Yangchun, the ice melts and the snow melts.

Years later, the first court meeting was held in Jiankangtai City.Since Liu Yishou was away with his troops, Chen Yuankang organized the court meeting on his behalf.As soon as the court meeting started, Chen Yuankang himself played to the "Emperor" Xiao Dong, saying that the Prince Wu's mansion on Jiming Mountain was too small to be worthy of the status of King Wu.

Therefore, it is hoped that the royal capital can be built elsewhere according to the old practice of the previous dynasty.On the one hand, it does not hinder the operation of various government offices in the capital city of Jiankang, and on the other hand, it also frees up more space for the hard-working King Wu!

Chen Yuankang suggested that the former Luoyang capital should be demolished, and a new capital with a smaller scale be built ten miles west of the existing Luoyang city, named "Daxing", implying the prosperity of the country.

One stone caused a thousand waves, and many central courtiers finally knew why Liu Yishou went to Xingyang this time!

He didn't go to supervise the war, he went to build a new city!

chapter 674

What does Liu Yishou want to do?

After the court meeting, there was an undercurrent in Jiankang City. Except for Liu Yishou's direct relatives, other courtiers were trying to figure out what Chen Yuankang's proposal of "building a new capital" meant.

Given the old rules of the previous dynasty, no one dared to take the content of Chen Yuankang's letter as a joke.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, although he held great power and said nothing, there were still many people who secretly supported Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.Cao Cao was always a little reluctant to let go in Xudu, and he often felt constrained, and he couldn't wipe out the forces loyal to the Han Dynasty.

Not everyone puts their minds on their faces, such as Xun or such important ministers do not want to abolish the Han and stand on their own, let Cao Cao's thorns in the back, and can't kill Emperor Xian.

The situation that Liu Yishou encounters now is similar, Liang Guo still has people who are loyal to Xiao Liang, and he is also a young puppet emperor, with powerful officials in charge of internal and external control.

Of course, there are many reasons why those people are loyal, not necessarily because of their high moral character.For example, many people from the Jiangdong family are Xiao Liang's son-in-law, or are inextricably related to the Xiao family.

If the Xiao family falls, their vested interests will be greatly damaged. It is human nature to make troubles, and it is strange not to make troubles.

Many fundamental political contradictions cannot be reconciled. In the end, either the east wind will overwhelm the west wind, or the west wind will overwhelm the east wind.

In view of this, it is easy to understand why Liu Yishou built a new capital in Luoyang and cultivated a force completely loyal to himself to replace it in the future.

Now Liu Yishou's direct lineage has grown stronger in Liang State, barking its teeth and claws like a vigorous tree demon.What it lacks now is just a suitable place to take root!

Is there any place more suitable for Liu Yishou to use to manage his own basic business than Luoyang?

Of course, this is the shallowest layer, and basically anyone with a little brain can see it.The content of Chen Yuankang's letter is not unusual, but the timing and purpose of the letter, no one dares to say that he has fully understood it.

What lures the snake out of the hole, what is Zheng Boke's section, what is the false way to attack Guo, the history of China is a history of strategy, a stage where old coins go forward and succeed in fancy show operations.

The past is the teacher of the future, because there are too many old coins in the front, and those endless routines also scare future generations, so those courtiers in Jiankang City dare not act lightly.

Did Liu Yishou use this to distinguish between the enemy and himself, or was he "reporting" the construction of the new capital as a matter of routine?

No one can say for sure, but with Liu Yishou's "brilliant achievements" in the past, there are only things you can't think of, and you will never think too much.

For several days in a row, Taicheng did not receive any letter, and no central minister raised any objections to it.Of course, no one expressed their approval, including Liu Yishou's cronies and party members, all stood still.

There is an illusion of calm before the storm.

Five days later, the "Son of Heaven" issued an edict agreeing to demolish the old city of Luoyang and build a new capital ten miles west of the old city.

Coincidentally, the White Horse Temple, which was originally located in the west of Luoyang City, has been changed to the east of New Luoyang City!There are rumors that it was because Liu Yishou didn't like Baima Temple very much back then, and he couldn't do anything about it, so he deliberately came out like this. The implication is: 30 years in the east of the city, 30 years in the west of the city.

This kind of gimmick is not only talked about by Shengdou Xiaomin, but also the elders with vital interests must laugh it off.

However, it was only Chen Yuankang's letter before, and there was no formal edict, and no government order was actually produced. Naturally, most people can still hold their breath.

Now that the edict is officially issued, those people can no longer sit still, and naturally want to throw a stone out to test the depth of the water.

So within two days, this "stone" was thrown out.

Prince Consort Wang Shi, that is, the one who favored Anji Princess Xiao Yuxi, wrote to the court:

There is no precedent for building the capital of vassal kings in this dynasty. Besides, the land of the king of Wu is in Shouyang, and the city should be built in Shouyang. How can the capital of the king be built in Luoyang?This move is unreasonable and has great hidden dangers.

Not to mention the claim that the vassal king actually has a king's capital, even if there is, it would be very dangerous to set this precedent and go to Luoyang to build a new city.As soon as this example is opened, isn't it true that there are not many vassal princes in the Liang Kingdom (actually there are not many left, mainly referring to Xiao Ji), and they can also build royal capitals in other places in the Liang Kingdom?

Isn't this chaos?What if a vassal king like Xiao Ji builds the capital next to Jiankang?

Although Wang Shi was born in the Langya Wang family, he didn't have the background cultivation of a descendant of the family.

Many things that could not be said on the table, he actually said it directly when he was writing.

When Chen Yuankang heard that Wang Shi was the first to stand up to do something, he couldn't believe that there could be such a stupid son-in-law in the world!

However, after he finished reading the content of the letter, he was not without emotion: Liu Yishou has indeed greatly improved the quality of Xiao Yan's son-in-law.No wonder Xiao Yuheng often brags to people that no matter how the other sons-in-law look like dogs, they are nothing compared to Liu Yishou.

With Wang Shi as the benchmark, I'm afraid Xiao Yujin's words are still conservative and modest.

Someone objected, so Chen Yuankang naturally couldn't pretend not to see it.According to the arrangement discussed by everyone in advance, Chen Yuankang continued to write to the court and said:

The war in the north was not peaceful, and King Wu's original intention was to guard the country's gates, and it was definitely not to deliberately specialize.Luoyang is located on the front line to facilitate the confrontation with the enemy. This move is for the country, and King Wu has no other ideas.

What Chen Yuankang said was aboveboard, but his tone was very soft, as if he was caught stealing a chicken, and he argued that he just came to chat with the hen, which aroused more doubts.

Sure enough, within two days, Princess Shang Yongshi's son-in-law Wang Ji, Princess Shang Fuyang's son-in-law Zhang Yan and others jumped out one after another, making irresponsible remarks about Liu Yishou's plan to build a new capital in Luoyang.

Chen Yuankang wrote again to argue: King Wu built the capital in Luoyang for the purpose of the Northern Expedition and to unify the world.After the world is unified, he will return to the capital and revoke the king's capital of Wu.

It is hoped that the inside and outside of the court can fully support this project of building the king's capital, with money and strength, all for the country.

It’s okay not to say this, the news spread, and one stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the voices opposing King Wu’s construction of the capital in Luoyang poured in like a tide, and many people even proposed a "compromise" plan .

For example, Liu Yishou should not build the royal capital in Luoyang, but should renovate the original Shouyang city in Shouyang. Isn't this a new "king capital"?Time-saving and labor-saving.

Shouyang is originally an important town on the border of Liang State, so it seems reasonable to build a so-called "king's capital" here, right?

All kinds of "well-intentioned" proposals do not seem to be all nonsense, and many of them are actually very operable.

However, in the face of raging doubts, Chen Yuankang, who had tried his best to defend himself before, was completely silent this time.

……

While the courtiers at the Jiankang Center were arguing over whether to build a new capital in Luoyang, Princess Anji's Mansion near Dongfu City was besieged by the Forbidden Army of Taicheng.

Cui Xian, who also served as the Minister of Dali Temple, stood in front of the gate of the mansion with a dark face, watching each and every soldier of the imperial army, taking out the set of sleeve armor from the mansion and throwing them outside the gate, without saying a word.

"Cui Shangshu, more than [-] pairs of armor were found in the mansion, all in complete sets. There are also thousands of bows and crossbows, enough to arm an army of [-]."

A junior officer of the imperial army said softly, lowering his head and not daring to look at Cui Xian.

"The king's son-in-law has secretly hidden armor and weapons in the mansion. The number is astonishing. The evidence of conspiracy to rebel is convincing. Come and bring the son-in-law, the princess, and all the people in the mansion to Dali Temple for detention!

This case involved a lot, Wang Shi alone, it is absolutely impossible to get so much armament.This matter should be investigated carefully, carefully investigated!Bring everyone back! "

When Cui Xian spoke, his expression was indifferent, as if he had caught a stray cat or dog by the side of the road, without any fluctuations in his heart.

Chapter 675

Before Liu Yishou in Xingyang had done anything, Jiankang, far away on the bank of the Yangtze River, burst out a "big melon"!

The son-in-law Wang Shi and Princess Anji Xiao Yuxi were found to have hidden a large number of military weapons in the mansion, including more than [-] pieces of frontier armor, which shocked the Jiankang government and the public.

There are many doubts in this case, and the most obvious fact is that these ordnance are good goods with a price and no market. It is not difficult to get a little self-defense, or even display them as "hand-made" at home, but the quantity is so huge that it requires Money is not 01:30!

Not to mention where Wang Shi was going to buy these, just talking about his financial resources, he couldn't afford it.It can even be said that even if the princess mansion is sold, they can't afford so many weapons!

So where did the son-in-law Wang Shi get the money to buy the armaments? He must have borrowed it from someone else!Or simply someone else bought it and just used his house as a warehouse.

As for why Wang Shi, a good-for-nothing son-in-law, has weapons but no one to use them, this is also easy to explain, because the trilogy is in another place and is directed by other bosses.Such a big move, Wang Shi, such a lost son-in-law, can he afford it?

It's not that they look down on him, but that a guy like Wang Shi deserves to lead the rebellion?There must be a bigger case and a bigger bandit behind this case!

Of course, some people said in private that it may be that Cui Xian led the imperial army to control the mansion first, and then put the "evidence" in the treasury.There are similar rumors in the market.

In short, first convict and then find evidence. This kind of thing has been seen a lot in the past dynasties. For example, Han Xin's rebellion and Zhou Yafu's rebellion are all understood.

But similar guesses can only be discussed in private, and must not be discussed on the table!

In many cases, speaking in public is politically responsible, and if you say something, you can't pretend that you didn't say it!Wang Shi is in trouble, who dares to rescue him, and who is willing to rescue him?

In all dynasties, treason is a serious crime. Once it is found out, the crime is unforgivable, and basically it will end with the death of the whole family.Whether Wang Shi wanted to rebel or not, the truth is not important, what the world thinks is not important, what is important is what Liu Yishou planned.

What's worse is that after Wang Shi was arrested, he still had a mouth and could talk nonsense.In case Wang Shi bites someone out... It's hard to explain!
