Chapter 296: plot

Views:

The emperor of Jin moved the capital, which was a big deal for the Xiongnu and Han kingdoms around him. If he could intercept the little emperor along the way, wouldn't it be easier than attacking Luoyang

But strangely, Han did not respond. On the bright side, it may be that Jin moved the capital too quickly, and Gou Xi's army came to greet him, so it was too late to mobilize troops and horses. But in fact, the problem lies in the Pingyang Palace. Soon after the Huns had withdrawn their troops, Liu Yuan fell ill on the bed. The Han Kingdom suddenly became nervous. After all, Liu Yuan is over fifty years old. If something happens, it will change! At such a time, who would dare to act rashly

Fortunately, the disease did not turn into a serious disease after all, but after lying down for seven or eight days, Liu Yuan recovered. Both inside and outside the courtroom breathed a sigh of relief. The queen recruited more than a dozen monks into the palace to pray for her majesty, and even the prince entered the palace to attend to illnesses. Everything seems to be on track again.

"Alas, this disease is not coming at the right time." Wearing a forehead protector, Liu Yuan leaned on the couch and sighed softly, "Now that people from Luoyang go to Lou Kong, it is meaningless to attack again. Eat no meat, abandon it. such a pity."

The most important purpose of attacking Luoyang was to capture the emperor of Jin and the nobles of Jin. Only by destroying the small imperial court of the enemy country can his Han state rule the world justifiably. And now, Luoyang has no emperor, but it is just a barren city, I am afraid that it is not as good as the wealthy counties below. What's the use

What's more, the one who is now in charge of Luoyang and the commander of Sili is still the old enemy of the Han state...

Kneeling in front of the couch, Crown Prince Liu Hegong said obediently, "Father, don't worry, General Wang has already led his troops to intercept it, so there must be good news."

Liu Yuan waved his hand: "Wang Mi can't do it. Gou Xi is the one to pick up the car this time. How could he let the Sima Xiaoer break into his own hands? After the spring, send Shi Le to attack Yuzhou with Wang Mi. Let's go to Yuzhou. , why worry about Shouchun?"

Shouchun is in the southeast of Yuzhou, just across the Huai River. Fortunately, the little emperor didn't go to Jiangdong. If he crossed the river, he would be out of reach.

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

Liu Yuan's face remained solemn: "If that Liang Zixi can be used by me, he will be able to win the Northland. It's a pity that this son is unpredictable."

Flattering the horse's leg, Liu He hurriedly remedied: "My emperor's Han soldiers are strong and strong, and Bingzhou is a corner, how can we resist? When Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Jizhou are conquered, we will be able to suppress Bingzhou..."

This time Liu Yuan finally turned his head, with a somewhat disappointed look in his eyes. He knew that this prince of his family had filial piety, and he had also learned seven or eight ways of governing the country, but he was not good at war. The danger of Bingzhou can't be eliminated with every effort. Just like the monks who are chanting sutras outside the temple today. How many people in the Xiongnu country still believe in Liang Feng's identity as a Buddhist son

Now let alone defeating Bingzhou, even the safety of Binh Duong has become a problem. Without the Emperor Jin in Luoyang City, it would be of little significance to stay in Sizhou. Or take a step back and move the capital to Chang'an

If only Liu Cong was still alive. Liu Cong is as good at fighting as Liu Yao. With these two brothers working together, why are you afraid of merging the state

Thinking of the beloved son who had accompanied him for half his life and died at the party, Liu Yuan couldn't help coughing. Seeing this, Liu He hurriedly got up, stroked his back, took the medicinal soup handed over by the maid, and delivered it to his father in person.

Seeing his son's nervous appearance, Liu Yuan's heart softened: "It doesn't matter, there are still many ways to deal with Liang Feng. He'er just needs to concentrate on managing the affairs of the state for me. When Yongzhou is settled and the capital is moved to Chang'an, these will be insignificant. already."

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

Chang'an is good, but there is a king of Qin!

However, Liu He did not dare to express these thoughts at all, and said softly: "My son is just handling some chores for the emperor. I also hope that the emperor will recover soon and take care of the world."

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

Even though his father had fallen asleep, Liu He still did not leave, and continued to look like a dutiful son. However, deep down in my heart, there are mixed flavors. At the beginning, Liu Cong, who he was afraid of, died in Bingzhou, and he never thought that Liu Yao would rise again. It seems that what my cousin Huyanyou said is not bad, that Liu Yao really has deep scheming. If you are not careful, when your father dies, will he usurp his throne as emperor

Chang'an can't go that fast. You have to think of a way to consolidate your position first...

In a blink of an eye, it's the end of the year. Liang Feng also set off back to Shangdang to preside over the ritual. This year is no different than in the past, when he was promoted to the rank of Duke, the entire Shangdang became his feudal state, the sacrifices and sacrifices were so grand, and even the family temple of Liangfu had to be moved to Lucheng.

In the past two years, Liang Feng had already planned to move out of the Liangfu, a series of artisan workshops related to the lifeline of metallurgy, military industry, and ceramics. Now the only bookstores and paper workshops left in Fuzhong will be relocated to the vicinity of Lucheng. After all, Gaodu was too close to Pingyang, and once the Xiongnu attacked, Liangfu would bear the brunt. How can those factories that design core technologies stand in danger

And now, the side business has also moved out of the Liang residence. The rest is more like a huge army village, with only military fields and barracks left. The function of preparing troops to defend against the enemy has been put in the first place.

In this way, the incoming enemy can be attacked from both sides. And when the attack on Pingyang, this will become an outpost again, and Gaodu will be at odds with each other.

As for the internal history of Shangdangguo, this time I also chose an acquaintance, Guo Jiao, the former magistrate of Gaodu, became the internal history of Xinjunguo. This appointment made Guo Jiao overjoyed, but also very sincere. However, Guo Jiao is a prudent and tactful person, and Shangdang has been ruled for a long time. Many things have established routines and are not difficult to manage. If it comes to wartime, this is the front line, with its own generals and staff responsible for the war, and he only needs to take care of the logistics. The captain of the country was taken over by Sun Jiao. The original Shangdang county soldiers also became the three armies of the exclusive county.

Gently and coincidentally, the administrative team of Xinjunguo settled down. Hunting in the wild, Shao prison sue the temple, offering sacrifices to the mountains and walking Nuo. Liang Feng threw himself into the tense, orderly and solemn winter celebration. Even Liang Rong, the heir, followed suit.

After the twelfth day, the New Year is approaching. As the governor of the three states, it is reasonable to hold a grand Yuan meeting. However, the astronomical phenomenon calculated by the Institute of Knowledge is not very beautiful. There will be another solar eclipse on New Year's Day. Liang Feng has watched the solar eclipse many times in the past two years, but the custom is so, it is too unlucky to just rush to the Kaiyuan meeting during the solar eclipse. Therefore, the official banquet was changed to the seventh day of the first lunar month, which is the day of people. People's Day is also a traditional festival of the New Year, and it is reasonable to climb the high to celebrate the festival.

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

Gently stroking the round-bellied flask in his hand, Liang Feng nodded slightly: "The carving is exquisite and the shape is good. It may be used for one time."

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

Zhang Bin said softly: "This time the workshop only produced two pieces, and the cost will not be less than 10,000 yuan. Will they all be sent to the Xiongnu?"

"It wasn't sent to the Xiongnu, it was sent to Liu Yuan." Liang Feng put down the jug and said lightly, "The news came from Xinling earlier that Liu Yuan had just been ill. How can you miss other hobbies, such as drinking too much?"

Liu Yuan has been a proton for half his life and is an extremely introverted person. She is not obsessed with women, she doesn't like extravagance, and she doesn't even have the bad habit of taking pills. The only hobby is drinking, and half of the spirits produced by Shangdang are sent to the Pingyang Palace.

Therefore, Liang Feng asked the craftsman to make such a pair of wine jugs. There is nothing special about the pot itself, but the body of the pot is made of a mixture of silver, tin, and lead. Especially the innermost pot bladder, most of which are made of lead. People in this world don't care about lead, and even lead pills are still edible elixir. But Liang Feng clearly understood what would happen if a lead pot was used to hold spirits.

Today, the Han state seems to be stable, but in fact, the forces of all parties are mixed, and it is entirely up to Liu Yuan to control the balance. If Liu Yuan is dead, can his prince Liu He be able to control the country? I am afraid that just Liu Yao, the adopted son, can cause him a lot of trouble.

It is the poisonous thorn in Liu He's heart that the Xinling Congregation is now trying to provoke. Once Liu Yuan dies, there will be a war around the throne of the emperor. In the past two years, the Han Kingdom has annexed too much territory. It seems that it has expanded suddenly, but it is actually unable to digest it. It just falls into another round of slaughter and exploitation. And where there is oppression, there will be resistance. Once civil strife broke out in the Han state, the four borders would be swept away, and he would not even have to expend effort.

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

I didn't expect to use this method myself. Liang Feng sighed inwardly as he looked at the exquisite lead pot. The taste of heavy metal poisoning should also be tasted by someone else. I just don't know how long this little trick will take effect.

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

"Don't worry, 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 Xiongnu court. Let's just hope that the troublesome Han kingdom will decline rapidly and make room for the master to show his hands and feet.
