Royal road

Jin Tianzi moved the capital, which was a big event for the Xiongnu Han Kingdom around him.If he could intercept and kill the little emperor along the way, wouldn't it be easier than attacking Luoyang?

But strangely, Han Guo did not respond.From the obvious point of view, it may be that the move of the Jin Kingdom to move the capital was too fast, and Gou Xi's army came to meet it, and it was too late to mobilize the troops.But in fact, the problem lies in Pingyang Palace.Soon after the Xiongnu took over, Liu Yuan fell ill on the bed.Han Guo suddenly became tense.After all, Liu Yuan is over fifty years old, if something happens, it will change!At a time like this, who would dare to act rashly?

But fortunately, the illness did not turn into a serious illness after all, and Liu Yuan recovered after lying down for seven or eight days.Both inside and outside the court hall were relieved, the queen invited more than a dozen monks into the palace to pray for His Majesty, and even the prince entered the palace to serve the sick.Everything seems to be back on track.

"Ah, this illness came at the wrong time." Wearing a forehead protector, Liu Yuan leaned on the couch, and sighed softly, "Nowadays the people of Luoyang go to the empty building, and there is no point in attacking again. If there is no meat to eat, throw it away such a pity."

The most important purpose of attacking Luoyang was to capture the emperor of Jin and the relatives and ministers of the state of Jin.Only by eliminating the small court of the enemy country, can his Han country rule the world in a legitimate way.But now, without the emperor, Luoyang is just a deserted city, probably not as good as the rich counties below.What is the use?

What's more, the person who is now in charge of Luoyang and serves as the lieutenant of Sili is the old enemy of Han...

Kneeling in front of the couch, Prince Liu He respectfully said: "Father, don't worry, General Wang has led his troops to intercept, and there will be good news."

Liu Yuan waved his hand: "Wang Mi can't do it. Gou Xi is the one to pick him up this time. How can he let that little Sima fall into his hands? After the beginning of spring, send Shi Le to attack Yuzhou together with Wang Mi. Let's go to Yuzhou Why don't you worry about Shouchun?"

Shouchun is in the southeast of Yuzhou, only separated by the Huai River.Fortunately, the little emperor didn't go to Jiangdong, if he crossed the river, he would be too far away.

"As long as our emperor and Han occupy the northern land, we will be able to wipe out scabies in the southern land just like Wei Wu!" Liu He knew that his father liked to emulate Emperor Zhaolie, but he was more enamored of Wei Wu's achievements.After all, it is the lifelong wish of this "Han Emperor" to rule the world.

Liu Yuan's face was still serious: "If Liang Zixi can be used by me, he can win Beidi. It's a pity that this son is unpredictable."

Flattering and slapping on the horse's leg, Liu He hurriedly remedied: "Our Emperor Han has a strong army and a corner of Bingzhou, how can we resist it? After defeating Yuzhou and Yanzhou, and then conquering Jizhou, we will be able to suppress Bingzhou..."

This time Liu Yuan finally turned his head, somewhat disappointed in his eyes.He knew that the prince of his family had a sense of filial piety, and he had learned seven or eight methods of governing the country, but he was not good at war.The danger of Bingzhou cannot be eliminated by mobilizing troops.Just like the monks chanting scriptures outside the temple today.How many people in the Huns still believe in Liang Feng's status as a Buddhist son?

Let alone defeating Bingzhou now, even the safety of Pingyang has become a problem.Without the Emperor Jin in Luoyang City, the meaning of guarding Sizhou is not great.Or take a step back and move the capital to Chang'an?

It would be great if Liu Cong was still there.Liu Cong is as good at fighting as Liu Yao. With these two brothers joining forces, why be afraid of Bingzhou?

Liu Yuan couldn't help coughing when he thought of the beloved son who had been with him for half his life and died in Shangdang.Seeing this, Liu He got up quickly, stroked his back, took the medicinal soup from the maid, and delivered it to his father himself.

Seeing his son's nervous appearance, Liu Yuan softened his heart: "It's okay, there are still many ways to deal with Liang Feng. He'er just needs to concentrate on managing the government affairs for me. When Yongzhou is pacified and the capital is moved to Chang'an, these are insignificant gone."

Liu He's hand almost froze, or should he move the capital to Chang'an?Didn't father always want to stay in Pingyang, the land of dragon prosperity?Why did Jin Tianzi leave, and he also wanted to leave Sizhou?

Chang'an is good, but there is a King Qin!

However, Liu He didn't dare to reveal these thoughts at all, and said softly: "My son is just handling some chores for the father. I hope the father will recover soon and take over the world."

Liu He's benevolent and filial character is also what Liu Yuan values ​​most.Patting his arm in relief, Liu Yuan drank the concoction in the bowl and lay down on the couch again.After a while, he fell asleep.

Even though his father had already fallen asleep, Liu He still did not leave, continuing to act like a filial son.However, deep down in my heart, there are mixed feelings.Liu Cong, whom he was afraid of at the beginning, died in Bingzhou, and he never thought that that kid Liu Yao would suddenly rise again.It seems that what my cousin Hu Yanyou said is not bad, and Liu Yao is really scheming.If he is not careful, when his father dies, will he usurp his own emperor's throne?

Chang'an can't go so fast.You must first think of a way to strengthen your position...

In a blink of an eye, it is the end of the year.Liang Feng also set off to return to Shangdang to preside over the La Festival.This year was no different than in the past, when he was promoted to Duke, the entire Shangdang became his feudal state, and the sacrifices and sacrifices were many times more grand, even the family temple of the Liang Mansion had to be moved into Lucheng.

In the past two years, Liang Feng had already planned to move out of the Liang Mansion a series of workshops related to the lifeblood of metallurgy, military industry, and ceramics.Now the only remaining bookstores and paper workshops in the mansion will also move to the vicinity of Lucheng.After all, Gaodu is too close to Pingyang. Once the Xiongnu attacked, the Liang Mansion would bear the brunt.How can those factories that design core technologies stand in danger?

And now, the sideline has also moved out of the Liang Mansion.The rest is more like a huge military stronghold, with only military fields and military camps left.The function of preparing troops to defend against the enemy was put in the first place.

In this way, the incoming enemy can be attacked from both sides.And when it comes to attacking Pingyang, it will become an outpost and fight against Gaodu.

As for the internal history of Shangdang State, an acquaintance was also selected this time. Guo Jiao, the former county magistrate of Gaodu, became the internal history of the new county state.Guo Jiao was overjoyed and frightened by this appointment.However, Guo Jiao is cautious and tactful, and Shangdang has been governed for a long time, and many things have been established, so it is not difficult to manage.If it comes to wartime, this is the front line, and its own generals and staff are in charge of fighting, so he only needs to manage the logistics well.The captaincy of the country was taken over by Sun Jiao.The original Shangdang county soldiers have also become the three armies exclusive to the county.

With a little effort, the administrative team of Xinjunguo settled down.Hunting in the wild, the Shao prison sued the temple, sacrificed to the mountains and performed Nuo.Liang Feng threw himself into the tense, orderly, and extraordinarily solemn winter celebration.Even Liang Rong, the heir, followed suit.

After the twelfth lunar month, the New Year is approaching.As the governor of the three states, it is reasonable to hold a grand Yuanhui, but the celestial phenomena calculated by Qiu Zhiyuan are not very beautiful.There will be another solar eclipse on the first day.In the past two years, Liang Feng had watched the solar eclipse countless times, but the custom was such that it would be too unlucky to rush to the solar eclipse to celebrate the New Year's Eve.Therefore, the official banquet was changed to the seventh day of the first month, which is also known as Ren Day.Man's Day is also a traditional New Year's festival, so it makes sense to climb a mountain to celebrate.

Things are complicated at the end of the year, and there are countless banquets, but there are some important things that cannot be overlooked.

Gently stroking the round belly jug in his hand, Liang Feng nodded slightly: "The carving is exquisite and the shape is good. Maybe it can be used."

It was a silver jug, more than a foot high.The body of the pot is carved with two whirling trees, a flying goddess.The exquisite ones are not like ordinary utensils, but like ritual utensils.There are inner and outer double tanks in the pot, and hot water and ice cubes can be placed in the interlayer, making cold drinks in summer and warm wine in winter, which is extremely ingenious.

Zhang Bin said softly: "This time the workshop only produced two items, and the cost was no less than ten thousand dollars. Will they all be sent to the Xiongnu?"

"It wasn't sent to the Xiongnu, but to Liu Yuan." Liang Feng put down the wine pot, and said calmly, "The news came from Xinling just before, saying that Liu Yuan had just been ill. Other hobbies, how can I miss this alcoholism?"

Liu Yuan has been a proton for half his life, and he is an extremely reserved person.Don't indulge in female sex, don't like extravagance, and don't even catch the bad habit of taking pills.His only hobby was drinking, and half of the spirits produced by Shangdang were sent to Pingyang Palace.

That's why Liang Feng asked the workshop to make such a pair of jugs.There is nothing special about the pot itself, but the body of the pot is a mixture of silver, tin and lead.In particular, most of the innermost gall bladders are made of lead.People in the world don't care about lead, even lead pill is a panacea that can be taken.But Liang Feng clearly understood what the result would be if he used a lead pot to hold spirits.

Now the Han Dynasty seems to be stable, but in fact the forces of all parties are intertwined, and Liu Yuan alone controls the balance.If Liu Yuan dies, can his prince Liu He control the country?I'm afraid it's just Liu Yao's adopted son who can cause him a lot of trouble.

It is this poisonous thorn in Liu He's heart that the Xinling people are trying to provoke.Once Liu Yuan dies, there will be a big battle surrounding the emperor's throne.However, the territory that Han has annexed in the past two years is too large and too much. It seems to have expanded suddenly, but it is actually unable to digest it, and it just fell into another round of slaughter and exploitation.And where there is oppression, there is resistance.Once civil strife broke out in the Han Kingdom, there would be smoke all over the place immediately, without even needing him to expend any effort.

At that time, it was the best time for him to recuperate and even expand his territory.As long as Liu Yuan dies!

I didn't expect that I would use such a method.Looking at the exquisite lead pot, Liang Feng couldn't help but sigh inwardly.The taste of heavy metal poisoning should be tasted by another person.It's just that I don't know how long it will take for this small method to bear fruit.

"Be sure to send it to Pingyang Palace." Liang Feng reminded again.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will send it to Liu Yuan's desk." Zhang Bin didn't know whether the pot could achieve the desired effect, but it was not difficult to find a way to send it to the Huns' court.I only hope that the headache-provoking Han Kingdom can quickly decline and make room for the lord to use his hands and feet.
