The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms - Vol 10 Chapter 328

Another said, “Why are you so angry?”

The person who was angry before said: “Why am I so angry? This petition to the sage to tentatively designate Xuxian as the new capital, although it was written by Xun Yu, but the messenger behind him must be a chariot. What does he want to do? Could it be you? Can’t you see it?”

“Of course I can see it.”

The angry person asked: “You can see that? Then let me ask you, what does the bike want to do?”

“Cheqi wants to use this to solidify his foundation in the court.”

The man said angrily, “Why do you just want to stabilize his foundation in the court! In my opinion, he clearly wants to use this to achieve his purpose of controlling the power of the court!”

The biggest difference between tentatively setting Xu County as the new capital and Luoyang as the capital is that Xu County belongs to Yingchuan, and Xunzhen’s foundation in Yingchuan is far deeper than that in Luoyang. Xun Zhen had never been an official in Luoyang, not only his roots in the court were not deep, but he was also a stranger in Luoyang, and he was not familiar with the local scholars at all, but it was not the case in Xu County.

Xun Zhen is a native of Yingchuan. He has a lot of old times in Yingchuan, and Xu County is only a few dozen miles away from his hometown of Yingyin. ripe.

If Xu County is designated as the new capital, the scholars in Xu County and Yingchuan will be at the feet of the emperor, that is to say, they will be the “public opinion” that Liu Xie can hear best. Like what people just said, Xun Zhen could not only use this to stabilize his foundation in the court, but also to control the power of the court, it is completely possible.

The man who was angry said to Yang Biao, “When the sage came forward, because of my advice, Dong Cheng was summoned to return to the court, but after the decree was issued to the Shangshutai, it was not issued for two days. How did the Shangshuling and the others answer the sage? I don’t need to say it, the lord also knows it, and actually uses the non-compliance system to prevaricate the sage! Then he said to the sage, it is better to ask the chariots first, … The sage even called a minister to return to the court. Do you need to ask the charioteers for their opinions? The answer from Shang Shuling and others must have come from the back of the charioteers. The charioteers are the records of the Shangshu, and the size of the Shangshutai is all under his control. But after seeing the sage, he pretended to be confused about the sage again! What a hypocrite. And even the decree of the sage, the charioteer has dared not to let the Shangshutai issue, Mr. Yang, the matter is already critical, and the charioteer is now again It is even more critical to destroy Yuan Shu’s power and set the new capital in Xu! We must stop this in time, otherwise, I am afraid that the trend of riding in the court will be unstoppable from now on! The disaster of Dong Zhuo and Li Jue , it will reappear in the DPRK!”

A person next to him said, “But the two reasons Xun Yu put forward in the above letter for not returning the capital to Luoyang are not false. One Yuan Benchu ​​did not have the intention of being a minister, and the other was the palace city of Luoyang. It has not been repaired yet, and Luoyang is indeed not suitable for the sage to return to live, and if it is not possible to return to Luoyang, when the state and county are in turmoil, and the new capital is not tentatively set, it will inevitably make the scholars and people at home or the imperial court feel displaced. This is also true. It is indeed very inappropriate. Not only is it detrimental to the stability of the people’s hearts, it may also damage the dignity of the imperial court and the saints.”

The person who was angry before said: “What is difficult to solve these two problems?”

“Oh, don’t you have a solution?”

The angry man said, “Exactly.”

“I dare to hear high opinions.”

The angry man said: “Let’s talk about the renovation of the Luoyang Palace City first. The Luoyang Palace City has not been repaired so far because of the lack of people’s and financial resources. In terms of financial resources, last year’s farm in Xu County will have a harvest this year, and this spring will arrive. Now, the weather is good, the rain is abundant, and the soldiers who are in the fields are also

It is a good way to grow crops. When I passed by a wheat field a few days ago, I even got out of the car to take a look. The wheat in the fields is growing well. The financial resources for repairing Luoyang Palace City are naturally not a problem, and part of the harvest can be requisitioned from the farmland. Furthermore, the problem of labor, Luoyang’s people’s strength is not enough, but Yingchuan’s people’s strength is enough! It is possible to recruit laborers from various counties in Yingchuan. Haven’t the two problems of financial resources and people’s resources been solved? ”

“Yuan Benchu ​​is looking at Luoyang, how to solve it?”

The angry man said, “This matter does not have to be resolved.”

“Don’t have to solve it? What does this mean?”

The angry man stroked his beard, looked around the crowd, and said, “Don’t you hear the snipe and mussels fighting?”

“what do you mean?”

The man said in anger, “But it is precisely because there is Yuan Shao in Jizhou that after the imperial court is moved back to Luoyang, I don’t have to worry about the chariots and cavalry clubs ruling the dynasty alone!”

“You mean, I can use Yuan Benchu ​​to check and balance the bike?”

The man who was angry said: “Exactly! The chariots and cavalry have destroyed Yuan Shu’s power. Although he is powerful in the court now, Yuan Shao’s army is rich in food and resources, and he is able to resist him if he is sitting in Xiongzhou! Comparing chariots and horses to tigers, Yuan Shao is a wolf, and in the battle between tigers and wolves, who will win?

After hearing this, Yang Biao and the others did their own thinking.

Some agree with this point of view, some disagree.

Regardless of whether they agree or disagree, they all have the same question, that is, the reason is that they can’t be said openly. The man who was angry also had a countermeasure. He said, “I’ll scribble this reason for moving the court back to Luoyang. Wouldn’t it be enough?”

Another person beside him pondered and said, “I just heard about something yesterday. I wonder if the waiter has heard of it?”

The angry man asked, “What’s the matter?”

The man said, “I heard yesterday that Duke Zhao of Situ intends to remove a clan son of the charioteer as his charioteer.”

Yang Biao had heard of this incident, but the man who was angry just now had never heard of it.

He was stunned for a moment, then got angry again, and slapped the table and said: “Since the King of Qin Qi went to Chang’an, Duke Zhao of Situ has been in close contact with him, and after the sage and the court arrived in Xu County, Duke Zhao was more obedient to the chariots. I have never refuted his opinion. I have long felt that Duke Zhao is becoming more and more spineless, but I don’t care that he now has to use the chaqi clan as a clerk, so as to show his favor to the chariot! He clearly wants to rely on the chariot. That’s it! But this Duke Zhao is also a senior official in the court. When Dong Zhuo and Li Jue were in the past, he also fought hard for reasons, how did he become like this now?”

He suggested that Zhao Wen did not follow the words of the angry person, and commented on Zhao Wen’s character, he said: “Situ Zhao Gong may indeed rely on the car to ride, so if I wait, even if I submit a letter to the sage, remonstrance There is no certainty in the words of the sage, but I am afraid that Duke Zhao will not stand by my side! Duke Zhao has a high prestige in the court and the public, if he really supports the chariots, what should we do?”

Zhao Wen’s prestige in the court and the opposition is comparable to that of Yang Biao. If he supports Xun Zhen, it will be a problem indeed.

The angry man said angrily: “What do you mean? Could it be that you don’t agree with the letter to the sage and prevent Dingxin from being in Xu? Are you planning to sit back and watch the sage be deceived by chariots and rides and allow Xu County to be designated as the new capital? No way!”

“Of course I don’t mean that, I mean, for this matter, I

Think long-term. ”

The two could not argue, and neither could persuade the other, so everyone turned their attention to Yang Biao.

Yang Biao’s face was as black as iron, and his beard was pale. Although he was old, he was righteous and dignified. He stroked his gray beard, looked at everyone, and said decisively: “Xu County must not be designated as a new capital. If Xu County becomes the new capital, the court will be in the hands of chariots and riders. Our honor and disgrace will be small, but the Holy Master may fall into the predicament of being held again from now on! The authority of the Han family , it may also decline further because of this, which is the most important thing. I have made up my mind, I have decided to allow this matter, and I will definitely stop it!”

When the angry man heard the words, he was overjoyed. He got up from the table and said generously: “The public wants to write a letter, do you want to go to the sage? I would like to join the public name!”

Yang Biao asked the rest of the people in the hall and said, “How do you feel about the public?”

These ministers in the hall are all old ministers, the young ones are in their fifties, and the old ones are in their sixties or seventies. They are the same as Yang Biao. All of them were born in famous families. There is no doubt about their loyalty to the Han family, although some of them have different opinions on whether to stop Xun Zhen immediately, and there is a very fierce conflict with Xun Zhen now, but since Yang Biao The statement, then out of loyalty to the Han family, but also out of consideration for their own personal reputation, but no one objected, all responded: “I am also willing to jointly sign with Yang Gong.”

On the next day, Yang Biao and others jointly signed a letter, admonishing Liu Xie that Xu County must not be designated as the new capital.

Their letter was quickly copied by the eunuchs in the palace and sent to Xun Zhen.

Xun Zhen read it and passed the memorial to Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Chen Qun, Guo Jia and others who were sitting in the hall to watch.

-Xi Zhicai and Liu Bei have recently returned to Xu County from Luoyang and Wuguan respectively.

After Xun Yu and the others read the memorial, Guo Jia burst into laughter.

Xun Zhen was puzzled and asked, “Fengxiao, what are you laughing at?”

Guo Jia said contemptuously: “Ming Gong, Yang Gong and others have written this letter, which is like a comparison. This is a cockroach and a mayfly shaking a tree, which is beyond its own capabilities.”

Xun Yu was not very satisfied with Guo Jia’s contempt for Yang Biao and others. Com frowned slightly, but didn’t say anything else, looked at Xun Zhen and asked, “Brother, what do you mean by this?”

Xun Yu and others all agreed with Xun Zhen’s proposal to temporarily designate Xu County as the new capital.

The reasons for agreeing are exactly what Xun Zhen told Liu Xie.

– Xun Zhen proposed to Liu Xie that the capital is in Xu, which is actually true. In other words, the capital is in Xu, which is indeed beneficial to Xun Zhen personally, but for the court, it is not conducive to the stability of the people’s morale. say, it is also beneficial

Xun Yu and others, especially Xun Yu who had transcendence in politics, would of course support and support Xun Zhen’s opinion.

Yang Biao and others would definitely object, which was expected by Xun Zhen.

After Yang Biao and others raised objections, how should we respond? In fact, Xun Zhen also had a countermeasure. His original plan was not to be in a hurry to fight back, and if he didn’t tear up with Yang Biao and others, he would not tear it apart for the time being.

Xun Zhen’s eyes fell on the case.

He had just received an urgent military report this morning, but because of the arrival of the military report, he could no longer be patient with Yang Biao and the others. Not only did this matter have to be resolved as soon as possible, but also Yang Biao’s captain Can’t let him do it anymore.
