Chapter 508 It was decided to move the capital back to Luoyang
Although it is true that the grain and grass are not in his own hands, where did he Li Dao's grain and grass come from, and it was not snatched from his own hands. So in Liu Xie's view, it is actually his own grain and grass, which belongs to the big man, but it has always been occupied by him, Li Dao, Li Zhiran, a Li thief.
At this time, as soon as Liu Xie heard that Zhang Ji said that he was here to reconcile Li Dao and Guo Yan, he also had to be interested, so he hurriedly asked: "Aiqing really has a heart, I see that Aiqing has a horse in this matter, then it must be a success!" ”
Zhang Ji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has praised it, but this matter still needs Your Majesty's nod and agree!" ”
When Liu Xie heard this, why did he still have his own business here? So he asked Zhang Ji very suspiciously: "I don't know what Aiqing said?" ”
Zhang Ji smiled: "Your Majesty, the minister's intention is to implore Your Majesty to move the capital to Hongnong, so that General Li and General Guo will naturally reconcile immediately!" I don't know what Your Majesty thinks? ”
This Hongnong is a county under Sili, but Hongnong City is the largest city in Hongnong County, so Zhang Ji said that he moved the capital to Hongnong, which actually refers to Hongnong City in Hongnong County.
As soon as Li Ji, who was at the head of the city, heard what Zhang Ji said, he said in his heart, you are a good Zhang Ji, you are really a good calculation, and it is really a clanging sound. Let His Majesty move the capital to your territory, and then he and Guo Yan will indeed be able to reconcile immediately, but the emperor let you hold it hostage, you think it is so beautiful, but with yourself here, is this possible? Hehe, Li Dao sneered in his heart.
To be honest, after Liu Xie listened to what Zhang Ji said, he was really a little tempted, and he didn't feel that it was all fake. He Li Dao Li Zhiran, this Li thief next to him, he Liu Xie knows very well what his person is like. He couldn't have known more than he had known all these years. And to be honest, Li Xie is very bad for Liu Xie, and Liu Xie's living standard is not as good as when Dong Zhuo was in power, so Liu Xie can be said to hate Li Dao deeply, and he is also very afraid.
Although Zhang Ji is actually a powerful minister, Liu Xie knows that if he moves the capital to Hongnong, then at least he Zhang Ji will definitely be much better to himself than Li Ji, and now more importantly, Chang'an has suffered from the war. Not to mention that it was devastated, but it was really made too unseemly by Li Dao and Guo Yan, so it really had to be moved to the capital.
But Liu Xie obviously hasn't forgotten his current situation, after all, next to him is Li Dao himself. And he himself is firmly under the control of others, so how can he escape the hands of others. And in Li Dao's opinion. He felt that Zhang Ji just didn't know the times. For what. Because the emperor is still holding in his own hands, and he has the most fundamental things in his hands, what ability does he have to make the emperor ignore his own ideas and make his own opinions, so Zhang Ji's proposal is bound to fail.
Sure enough, Liu Xie looked at Li Dao's appearance. He knew that this move to Hongnong would definitely not work. He could only sigh secretly, saying that he couldn't be the master of this matter, don't you Zhang Ji know the way? However, at this time, Liu Xie suddenly thought of another possibility. Maybe that's fine, he thought.
So he said: "I don't think it's appropriate to move the capital to Hongnong. But now that the capital is moving, it is imperative, and I think that if I move the capital back to Luoyang, then it should still be possible! But I don't know what the two Aiqing think? ”
Liu Xie directly threw a bomb to Li Dao and Zhang Ji, and as soon as these words came out of his mouth, they were indeed the two people who heard it, whether it was Li Dao or Zhang Ji, they were all surprised. What's that? Moving the capital to Luoyang? Chang'an, just don't want it? What is the situation of Luoyang now, anyway, at present, even if it is strong, it is not much stronger than Chang'an. Neither of them knew what his majesty was thinking, and they really didn't understand him.
In fact, Liu Xie just felt that he had a flash of inspiration in his head just now, and then he had such a good idea (which he thought), and it was the most appropriate at the moment. Liu Xie's proposal to move the capital to Luoyang actually had such several intentions.
This is the first one, that is, he really wants Li Dao and Guo Yan to reconcile temporarily. So he also knew that they agreed to move the capital to Luoyang, so naturally they had to reconcile first, so there was not much to say about this.
Second, Liu Xie wanted to take the opportunity to get out of Li Dao's control. And this is what he wants to do the most at the moment, because from Chang'an all the way to the east, the closer he goes to Luoyang, the closer he is to the Kwantung princes. On the way to Luoyang, I will see if I can take the opportunity to escape, it would be better if the princes of the East responded to it, I don't want to be in the hands of Li Thief anymore, even if I take a big risk, I have to leave Sili and go to the hinterland of the Central Plains.
This is Liu Xie's truest thought in his heart, just like the saying goes, "Where there is oppression, there is resistance." Liu Xie is also an emperor no matter how he says, but he has indeed been oppressed by Li Dao for many years, and he has endured it for so many years, if he doesn't find a chance to resist, then he really doesn't deserve to be this emperor. In fact, let alone the emperor, there are a few people who are willing to be oppressed, and even if there are, it is only a very small number of people. So ordinary people are still like this, not to mention him Liu Xie.
In Liu Xie's view, this road to the east is an opportunity, and there has always been an opportunity. He firmly believed that there were still courtiers loyal to the Han among the Kwantung princes, and as for the west, he never thought about it. In fact, I don't know when the Dao began, Ma Chao and Ma Meng gave the name in his Liu Xie's eyes, although he was not like Li Ji and Guo Yan who were chaotic ministers and thieves, but in his eyes, Ma Chao was definitely not a good person, so Liu Xie didn't want to deal with him in Liangzhou.
As for this proposal to move the capital, whether Li Dao can accept it or not, Liu Xie feels that there must not be much of a problem. And with his understanding of Li Dao, he should still be able to accept the matter of moving the capital now. Because of the situation, because of reality, it has to be so.
He and Guo Yan have both weakened their strength now, so they are very scared at this time, afraid that Ma Chao will take advantage of the situation, so why have the two of them not made any moves so far and dare not continue to fight, mainly because of Ma Chao, Liu Xie knows everything at this moment.
So he proposed to move the capital, and the two were able to negotiate peace first. After the reconciliation, they will march into Luoyang together, and during this period, it can be regarded as letting the people on both sides take a break. As for Ma Chao, they can't think about it that much, they shouldn't think that Ma Chao can lead troops to hunt them down, because it's not necessary. This Liu Xie has already felt it, even if Ma Chao enters the army, he is mainly in Chang'an, and even the entire division. But he shouldn't be very interested in Li Dao and Guo Yan.
In fact, Liu Xie was right. In fact, it should not be said that Ma Chao is not very interested in Li Dao and Guo Yan, but he has no interest in Liu Xie, the emperor, Li Dao and Guo Yan, and even Zhang Ji. Because in his eyes, the most important thing is Si Li and Chang'an. As for a dilapidated Chang'an City, it's not something he can't accept. After all, Ma Chao values its geographical location more. As for the rest, as long as there is money and food. It's been a long time. Sooner or later, Chang'an will return to its former prosperity.
But whether it is Liu Xie, or Li Dao, Guo Yan and Zhang Ji, they are all troubles for Ma Chao. And Liu Xie is the biggest trouble, so Ma Chao can't wait for Liu Xie to leave quickly, Liu Xie doesn't want to deal with Ma Chao. And why did Ma Chao want to meet him? So in fact, everyone thinks about each other, that is, each other.
Zhang Ji heard the words and said: "What His Majesty said is even, the minister seconded it!" Moving the capital back to Luoyang, so very good. The minister should protect His Majesty! ”
When Li Ji heard this, he said in his heart, okay, you Zhang Ji is really cunning enough, you are just here with the emperor and won't leave. But he can't help it now, in fact, think about it, moving the capital may be the safest way at the moment, or not.
First of all, I must reconcile with him Guo Aduo, and then guard against Ma Chao together, but this is the top priority, I didn't say it. So move the capital to Luoyang in this way, in this way, you can do both. And there is another Zhang Ji next to him, as long as the three parties work together, then there will be more than 100,000 people and horses, even if he is a Liangzhou herding horse and a super horse Meng Qi, he will not dare to act rashly. As for the Kwantung princes, Li Dao is indeed, it's not that he doesn't look at it, but he is not as afraid as he is of Ma Chao.
So he said at this time: "Your Majesty, the proposal to move the capital is very good, and the minister thinks that it is okay, but before that, he still has to reconcile with Guo Yan!" ”
When Liu Xie heard this, he looked directly at Zhang Ji, Zhang Ji understood, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to make an order to move the capital, and then the minister will take Your Majesty to send a holy decree to General Guo's camp, and this matter will be done!" ”
Liu Xie smiled and nodded, "Aiqing is like this, I will entrust this matter to you, there is Lao Aiqing!" ”
"'Eat the king's lu, bear the king's worries', this is a matter within the minister's responsibility, and the minister will live up to His Majesty's expectations!"
Liu Xie nodded, and then immediately ordered someone to draw up a decree, and finally handed over the decree to Zhang Ji. Now the jade seal of the country has long been lost, so Liu Xie uses other jade seals, and because Zhang Ji is under the city, this holy decree is also slowly hanging from the city. As for throwing it down from the city, if Liu Xie is not here, then Li Dao is really capable of doing this. But after all, the emperor is right in front of him, so I have to save some face for him. If you don't do it in front of so many people, it is indeed not only his Liu Xie's face, but also the face of the Han royal family, and his Li Dao's face is actually lost.
After getting Liu Xie's holy decree, Zhang Ji saluted Liu Xie at the head of the city, "Your Majesty, the minister will retire!" ”
Liu Xie nodded slightly, "Aiqing, go by yourself!" ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Ji left with his troops, and Liu Xie and Li Dao also went back. After all, the emperor can't always stay in the city, and that's not a good thing-
Zhang Ji returned to his camp with the holy decree, and after returning to the camp, he did not rush to find Guo Yan, but after letting his army rest for a day, he took the holy decree to Guo Yan's camp.
After Guo Yan learned that Zhang Ji had come to his camp again, he personally went out of the camp to greet him.
"Brother Zhang, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I'm really here!"
Zhang Ji smiled, "I talked to His Majesty and Brother Zhiran yesterday, didn't you come to you with His Majesty's holy decree!" ”
Guo Yan raised his eyebrows, he knew this. Zhilu Dao Zhang Ji talked a lot with the emperor and Li Zhiran at the south gate of Chang'an and under the city yesterday, but Guo Yan really didn't know what they discussed after the last meeting.
"Please!"
"Please!"
The two entered the big tent, and Zhang Ji first handed the holy decree to Guo Yan, and then sat down.
Guo Yan smiled bitterly, "Brother Zhang, this, this Brother Zhang forgot that I don't know how to read!" ”
Zhang Ji was afraid of his brain and said: "Blame me, blame me, I've been busy these days, and I have forgotten about it!" ”
After a pause, he said, "That's the case, His Majesty wants to move the capital to Luoyang, and Brother Zhiran also agreed, so I don't know what Brother Guo means now?" ”
Guo Yan listened, what? Moving the capital to Luoyang? Is this going back? In fact, if you think about it, it's better to go back, at least it's better than staying in Chang'an. And in this way, he and Li Dao will be able to reconcile temporarily.
Guo Yan nodded, "Okay, I know." There is Brother Lao Zhang, tomorrow I will retreat twenty miles, and when he Li Zhiran is busy in Chang'an, let's escort His Majesty from Chang'an back to Luoyang! ”
Zhang Ji nodded, "That's very good!" ”
He and Guo Yan Ke both knew about the Dao, and with Li Wei's character of plucking the goose, Chang'an City is estimated to suffer in the near future. In the end, there may be nothing left, and Guo Yan regretted it a little, he knew that if he was also in Chang'an, then how could he get a piece of the pie, but now it is not possible.
