Rao Lu Zhi had a deep understanding of the emperor's unreliability, and was ready to deal with unreasonable demands at any time. When he heard this suddenly, he was almost pissed off.

A great country is going to move its capital, and being mentioned so lightly, it's like ordinary people moving their house!

"Think twice, Your Majesty, this matter must not be done!"

After finally recovering his breath, Lu Zhi couldn't help being angry again when he looked at the emperor who didn't care.

It is disrespectful for this honest and loyal minister who sticks to the principles of ministers and never crosses the threshold even half a step.

He suddenly took a step forward, gave a deep salute, and said in a deep voice: "Luoyang is the place where the dragon thrives, and the great Han has established its capital here for hundreds of years. He never said anything about moving the capital!"

As for whether Liu Bian didn't think about it, or whether he thought about it and didn't have time to do it, Lu Zhi chose to ignore it.

Liu Kang looked at him quietly, noncommittal.

This expression fell into Lu Zhi's eyes, and he did not know how to repent. He said sadly: "I don't know who is slandering in His Majesty's ears? This person intends to endanger the country's destiny, damage the country's system, and shake the hearts of the people. His heart can be punished." !"

In fact, Lu Zhi knew very well in his heart that such absurd words, even if he lent a hundred courage to the servants in the palace who served the emperor, or the concubines in the harem, it would be impossible to say such absurd words.

Besides, looking at the court, most of the courtiers had their ancestral foundations in Luoyang, the capital, and moving the capital would only cause them huge losses. How could they take the initiative to bring up such a bad idea?

Just the words 'move the capital' came out of the emperor's mouth, letting others know that the emperor had this idea, and the culprit would become a public enemy in the next moment.

The person who would be so bold and utter jokes without knowing the seriousness could only be the emperor.

This accusation against Sang and Huai was also Lu Zhi's euphemistic warning, which could be said to be sonorous and resounding.

But Liu Kang just sneered lazily, as if he didn't understand the meaning of beating hard in Lu Zhi's words, and even spread his hands, admitting openly: "There is no one else to speak, and I have kept this ambition for a long time. Just because of the turmoil in the past few days, the shortage of money and food, and the panic of the people, it is inconvenient to mention it, so I temporarily put it on hold. Now the border is smooth, and there are no major disasters in the court except for some trivial matters. Gu Yi agrees, Fang brings up this matter again, so that he can have a discussion with the Taifu. Does the Taifu still want to kill Gu?"

Even if Liu Kang is in a daze, he doesn't care how he faces his ancestors under Jiuquan, he is a courtier, even if he has to be rebuked to the end, he can't let the emperor be so frivolous and act recklessly!

Lu Zhi was terrified, and replied without hesitation: "This matter is absolutely impossible, I beg Your Majesty to dispel this idea!"

Liu Kang's temperament is that the more he is opposed, the more he can't help doing it.

It was just a casual mention on a whim, but Lu Zhi replied so unquestionably, he was so excited that he didn't even have the intention of asking him where he planned to move, but instead aroused his rebellious psychology.

And after thinking about it for a while, he realized that this was really a good idea.

Adjacent to Luoyang, none of them is a courtier he can really rest assured: to the west is Liangzhou, which once worked hand in hand with Dong Thief, and has been ready to move ever since. Lei Ting, the army of the imperial court who was not called to rescue him was stopped by the iron cavalry of Xiliang. I am afraid that even my bones are already chilling after being delayed in rescuing the soldiers; Liu Yan, the former Zongzheng, was in collusion, but his order was to obey; Jingzhou, who was going to the south, was in charge of murdering his boss, and then took advantage of the chaos to threaten Cao Yin, a shameless person who ordered the edict, and was so disloyal to his boss who was close at hand , not to mention the emperor who has no prestige for him?In the north is Bingzhou. Ding Yuan seems to be loyal and upright, and he also pays tribute every year. However, when Yanqing used the strength of several states, he joined forces with Youzhou Gongsun Zan and others to attack Yanqing's jurisdiction when he went west to rescue him. , I can't believe it.

In addition, there are alien races like wolves and tigers, ready to attack at any time.

Although there are eight dangerous barriers around Luoyang for protection, there is a big shortage in terms of strategic space and deployable troops.

In the past, Yan Qing drove the army to Luoyang twice in just ten days, and wiped out Dong Zhuo who occupied Luoyang in one fell swoop, which is enough to prove this point.

The Xiongnu iron cavalry has always been famous for their viciousness. If they join forces with rebels such as Ma Teng and Han Sui, they will be able to drive straight in very easily.

In this way, due to the lack of a buffer, only the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers under Huangfusong's dispatch were left who could directly resist the threat.

However, relying on them alone, in front of foreign enemies who can move hundreds of thousands, it can be said to be a drop in the bucket.

Once the official army is destroyed, he, the majestic emperor, will be reduced to a servant guarding the gate of the country with a group of officials who are powerless.At that time, I am afraid that even King Qin's reinforcements will not be able to wait, and he will repeat the same mistakes in Xiqiang and become a prisoner again.

Thinking of the humiliation and suffering he suffered in those days, Liu Kang couldn't help shivering.

At that time, these courtiers who only know how to hold back are afraid that they will all flee for their lives. No matter how loyal Lu Zhi is, he only has a flesh and blood body. How can he take care of him and protect him?

As for the empty words that Lu Zhi valued, it is easier said than done to restore the prestige of the Han court!

If he can save his life, if he survives in troubled times, he has exhausted all his strength.

Looking at the world, the only one who can make him sleep peacefully is Yan Aiqing, who saved him from danger time and time again.

However, the immortals are indifferent to fame and fortune, so in order to avoid suspicion, they had no choice but to leave the capital, but even so, they could not escape being calculated by them...

Ugh!

The more Liu Kang thought about it, the more he felt that although he was the son of heaven and had the world in name, he was so pitiful that he couldn't be more pitiful.

You can't go where you want to go, you can't see the people you want to see, and you can't maintain what you want.

I hate the ministers for mistaken him the most!

He kept saying that Luoyang was rich and prosperous, even though he lived deep in the palace, he could overhear from the communication between the palace servants that this was not the case.

If Luoyang is really better governed than Yanqing, why are the residents in the city always losing, and they all moved to Yu, Yang and other counties?

As far as food and grass are concerned, due to the ups and downs in the Sili area, good land is abandoned, farming and mulberry are not diligent, and because of lack of cultivation, it is simply a dream to support the behemoth of the capital by self-sufficiency.

In the end, they depended on the food that Yanqing sent people to deliver every year, among which the vehicles and horses were exhausted, and the loss was not small.

Why not just move the capital to Xudi, and everyone will be happy?

It's just the selfishness of these ministers and ministers.

"It's lonely and reckless." Liu Kang sighed, and said with a normal face: "This matter is only in the ears of the Grand Tutor, don't mention it to others."

Lu Zhi couldn't ask for it, so he immediately agreed, and even took the initiative to give in: "I wonder if Your Majesty wants to personally meet the envoy sent by Sikong?"

Liu Kang smiled and nodded: "That's very good."

After he really made up his mind, he restrained his face instead, and felt more and more that it was not wise to seek help from the rebels around him.

Although Lu Zhi is loyal, he has always been hostile and suspicious of Yan Qing, and there is a pedantic spirit in his bones, expecting him to bump to death on the steps when the enemy strikes. Loyalty is not difficult, but it is absolutely not. a suitable object of discussion.

As for who to talk to...

Liu Kang thought about it.

Three days later, Zhuge Jin, who successfully completed the tribute mission, brought a large number of eye-catching rewards and a secret edict in his arms that the emperor had repeatedly ordered to hand over to Yan Qing. After that, he returned to Yuzhou in high spirits.

"Secret edict?" When Yan Qing received it, she couldn't help being very surprised, and didn't rush to open it, but asked Zhuge Jin again: "Has the situation in Beijing changed?"

Zhuge Jin shook his head: "I have never heard of it, nor have I seen it."

Yan Qing's eyebrows twitched, feeling a bad premonition.

Since it's not a big deal, it's probably because the dishes made by the Imperial Dining Room are not satisfactory, so he wants to run away from home or complain to him, right?

Out of trust in Lu Zhi, Yan Qing tentatively believed that it would be difficult for Liu Kang to do anything out of line with him watching every step of the way, so he nodded quickly and smiled: "You have been traveling all the way, It's been hard work, go down and rest."

Zhuge Jin hurriedly thanked her, bowed her head and stepped back.

Yan Qing put the secret edict on the table, hesitated for a while, and Tai Shici, who had finally returned from trekking in Jingzhou a few days ago and returned to his post, gave an order: "You go there yourself and bring Fengxiao to the mansion for a while. Syria."

"Here!"

Tai Shici responded angrily, and left in a hurry.

It's about the little emperor who doesn't follow common sense and likes to make troubles. Yan Qing is not at ease to let Xun Yu know directly, but if Jia Xu is also called here and he is left alone, the other party with a delicate mind will easily understand it by himself. What came out.

Calling Guo Jia to discuss alone is more suitable.

After all, he is a frequent visitor to the house, and he doesn't pay attention if he comes more often.

Knowing that Yan Qing was summoned suddenly, there must be something important, Guo Jia arrived without even putting on his coat and wearing his shoes backwards.

"My lord, it's for—"

"look by youself."

Yan Qing retreated with an uneasy face, and handed Guo Jia the secret edict that he had read once during the waiting period.

Guo Jia quickly opened it, glanced at ten lines at a glance, and couldn't help crying or laughing immediately, and couldn't help teasing: "As expected of Immortal Yan, the demeanor is outstanding, and even His Majesty is deeply fascinated. After thinking about it day and night, even the ancestor's foundation, The stability of the country can be left behind, just to see you every day."

The corners of Yan Qing's mouth twitched: "...is this the time for sarcastic remarks?"

Guo Jia coughed lightly, and didn't take this matter too seriously: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured that even if His Majesty wants to, the ministers and ministers will definitely not let him go to the tiger's mouth."

Just as Yan Qing was about to refute, a thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but froze on the spot.

Indeed, no matter what motive Liu Kang had for moving the capital all of a sudden, not only was he unwilling, but also the courtiers who had always been deeply jealous of him could not agree.

But if Liu Kang insisted on going his own way, and he didn't express his position clearly, the courtiers would only feel extremely devastated.

The person who is most likely to be moved out to suppress Liu Kang with fame and seniority when forced to do so... I am afraid it must be Liu Yan.

Guo Jia looked at his expression and it was not difficult to judge that he had some idea, so he waited attentively and did not interrupt him hastily.

After a long while, Yan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and after sorting out many links, he was more inclined to think that this is a great opportunity: "If you can make good use of it, it is not entirely a bad thing."
