Unlike others, Liang Feng has been paying attention to the situation in Shouchun, but he is still worried about the pandemic.
Since he took power, Bingzhou has been free of major epidemics for three years. Whether it is battlefield clearance or resettlement of refugees, there is a set of standard procedures. The medical department recruits scholars every year, attracting talents with excellent medical skills from all over the country to move closer to Bingzhou. These people work together to study together, so that medicine has also developed significantly and systematically. Among them, epidemic prevention is the most important thing.
The epidemic diseases are not limited to the plague, and the treatment methods are also very different. However, basic epidemic prevention measures, including measures such as isolation, disinfection, and eradication of disease sources, can be used universally. These ideas, along with the medical books attached to the Diamond Sutra, spread widely. Even so, Liang Feng still publishes epidemic prevention manuals every year and sends them to various places, and regards epidemic control as one of the important indicators for officials to evaluate.
It is for this reason that several states under his rule were able to contain the spread of the disease on the premise of hosting a large number of refugees.
But this is not the case in other places. The weather conditions and bad situation in Huainan make it easier to expand the epidemic. To this end, Liang Feng sent letters to Shouchun twice, and also strictly ordered Zu Ti to pay attention to the refugees coming from Yuzhou. It may be that Jian Ye tried his best to control the epidemic, and after nearly a month of tossing, the epidemic showed signs of retreat. Then came the news of the great change between the DPRK and China.
The little emperor died too suddenly, and he did not leave a will before his death. The cause of his death was irrelevant, and what happened behind him was the focus. In the absence of heirs, whoever ascends the throne is enough to arouse the minds of the world.
It's just that Liang Feng didn't expect that this transfer of the throne would be so chaotic.
The four offices, successively became independent, and without exception, promoted him to an official position. Among them, Yangzhou Xingtai named him Grand Sima, Yongzhou Xingtai named him Taiwei, and Yanzhou Xingtai named him Taibao. The most outrageous thing is that the Xuzhou Xingtai directly promised the title of prime minister. As long as I can go back to Luoyang, I have full authority to listen to his arrangements.
Which platform to follow is related to the future direction of Bingzhou. It is no longer just a matter of a few staff members to discuss and win. Therefore, Liang Feng, in the name of mourning, summoned all his hands to perform martial arts and ascended to the hall to discuss matters.
"King Qin has succeeded King Qin Xian since he was a child. He is far away from the capital, and he is actually held by the chaotic army. The 'Prince' found by Liang's country is of unknown origin and is usurped by the traitorous party. The chaotic ministers and thieves, everyone can get them and kill them!" Duan Qin came up to clarify the main points first. The gangs of Yongzhou and Yanzhou were basically puppets created by their own selfishness. How can you admit it
However, Xuzhou Xingtai and Yangzhou Xingtai are another matter.
"King Yuzhang is the younger brother of the first emperor, and as for the king of Xindu, he is the younger son of King Wu Xiao. If you follow the etiquette and law, you can practice it. However, the court situation is complicated, so you should choose it carefully." Duan Qin also turned over the other two trump cards. came out.
Zhizhong engaged in Xi Jian on the side, and immediately frowned: "The cause of the late emperor's death is unknown, and King Jingling openly attacked and killed Taifu and General Liu for his own selfishness, causing chaos in the court. Relying on this chaotic minister to ascend the throne is not right!"
Duan Qin was not annoyed at all, and replied: "If this is the case, it would be inappropriate for the King of Langya to attack Shouchun, establish a new capital, and move the capital to build Ye."
The two seem to be arguing over which one is more in line with etiquette, Xuzhou or Yangzhou. But in fact, it is arguing about the development direction of the state.
If Xuzhou Xingtai is recognized, the new emperor will be able to enter Luoyang. Even if Liang Feng resigned as prime minister, he would still be able to control the imperial court and achieve the goal of coercing the emperor to command the princes. Not to mention whether this method is useful or not, at least it can attract scholars from all over the world to defect. In the future, like Cao Wei, he will be able to enthrone the throne and establish a country through meditation.
Conversely, if Yangzhou Xingtai was admitted, then the one who took the emperor would become King Langya. Even if the other party gave more favorable treatment, Liang Feng would not be able to get his hands on the court. But doing so is also the performance of a loyal minister. It is because too many people learn from Cao Cao that the world is in chaos. For a scholar like Xi Jian who cherished the country and the dynasty, he really didn't want to see the people he depended on go wrong.
And Xi Jian's attitude is not difficult to see. If I stand on my own now, I'm afraid it will lead to the separation of people's hearts. When Xun Yu was the chief civil servant of Cao's camp, didn't he agree with Cao Cao and Jiuxi? Although Sima's reign was not long, but Zhengshuo has not changed, it is inevitable that people will be worried.
One is simple and easy, the other is married, it seems not difficult to guess which one to choose. In fact, Xi Jian was quite embarrassed to say this. If the Lord has made up his mind, such remarks will inevitably arouse suspicion and unhappiness.
However, on the seat, Liang Feng, who was dressed in plain clothes, did not answer immediately. His eyes also turned to Zhang Bin, who was silent.
Knowing the meaning in the lord's sight, Zhang Bin smiled slightly: "There are two days in the sky, and disaster will end in the end. The lord should make a decision early."
He didn't give any advice. In other words, he pointed out the most crucial question. All the advisors and officials were just suggestions from the sidelines, and it was Liang Feng himself who made the final decision.
How will he choose
"King Jingling rebelled and killed court officials indiscriminately. Without taking care of his life, the king of Yuzhang was not in the right position. He should be the king of Xindu." In the end, Liang Feng replied.
This is also the most suitable plan for merging states. What he needs has never been the gentry who are so powerful that they can throw their heads for the sake of the emperor. No matter how weak the imperial power is, as long as the emperor returns to Luoyang, his status cannot be taken lightly. And no emperor will be willing to be manipulated by others. One bad, it will lead to endless disasters. Similarly, when the capital was moved back to Luoyang, Sizhou once again became a sweet spot for everyone to capture. There are frequent wars, how can it be said casually
What the state needs most now is stability. Overriding stability. Therefore, it was the best choice to enshrine the new king of Yangzhou as the emperor.
All the tyrants with the heart of dying Jin will only bite around Yangzhou. The wave of Nandu will also intensify, the mediocre people and the top high-level gates have retreated, and they are left to themselves, either the available people who are bent on pacifying the troubled world, or the speculators with excellent vision. And both of them are very useful to the great cause.
More importantly, Liang Feng knew Sima Rui's sincerity. He is the first emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in history. Even if he establishes the emperor, can he eliminate his desire to be an emperor? I'm afraid on the contrary, relying on the emperor will only make Sima Rui's desire more and more, until he kills the young emperor and ascends the throne himself. He is not a direct descendant of Emperor Wu, and will those noblemen who pay attention to identity and bloodline allow him to usurp the throne
Does a dynasty really exist when there are only ill-placed heirs left
Therefore, this decision is actually not difficult for Liang Feng.
Hearing him say this, Xi Jian's eyes lit up, and he nodded in approval. And Duan Qin and other officials from the Han family also closed their mouths, and the master's appeal was the direction for them to move forward.
Only admitting Yangzhou Xingtai means that anyone who usurps the establishment in the future will come to Luoyang, and it will be a dead end. Without the support of the hegemon in the North, Yongzhou would have Liu Yao, Yanzhou would have Shile, and Xuzhou would have Sima Rui to "take care" of him. How long can these private establishments survive
As the messenger went south, the will and decision of Bingzhou were also spread in a grand manner.
※
"That Liang Zixi really knows the current affairs." Sima Rui was relieved after receiving the reply from Bingzhou.
Today, Liang Feng, who can occupy the land of the three states in the hinterland of the Central Plains, is already a prince that no one can ignore. There are soldiers and territory, and there are reputations in the world. If he chooses to obey King Yuzhang and Xuzhou, he will be in big trouble.
Wang Dao frowned: "You can't take this lightly. Bingzhou's troops are strong and strong, even if Liang Zixi has no intention to have authority, it will be a big problem. Taifu should be careful to drive him to block the Xiongnu and the pseudo-han before. long-term development.”
This is the old saying. Although the new emperor has been established and he has also taken the position of Taifu, Sima Rui's foundation in Jiangdong is not stable. The many ills brought about by people from the north and the south cannot be resolved in a day or two. In addition, military chaos and epidemics have made this fragile balance crumbling.
Fortunately, the troublesome Sima Tan had already died violently, and he had toppled King Jingling with all his guilt. At the same time, Sima Rui dispatched people to treat the disaster in time, which was appreciated by many nobles. Coupled with the establishment of the new emperor and the relocation of the capital to build Ye, the Jiangdong gentry who are just about to move have the idea of a piece of the pie. With profit driven, things will not be too difficult.
As long as someone blocks the Xiongnu soldiers and horses, why worry that Yangzhou is not happy
Sima Rui nodded: "What Maohong said is very true. Jianye is the foundation, and it should be managed well. It is only a big Sima, can Liang Zixi be willing to be the forerunner?"
"You can't be in a high position, but you can with money and grain." Wang Dao said lightly, "I heard that Jizhou once transported grain along the coastal road to relieve the siege of Luoyang. Liang Zixi has just occupied Sizhou and Jizhou, and there must be a shortage of food and grass. Why not use this to seize the lifeline of Bingzhou. ?"
Although Sima Rui only had the appearance of a middle-aged man, he also reacted when he heard it. Yangzhou is the main route of north-south transshipment, whether it is sea or river transportation, it is always unavoidable. If it is used as a mechanism to check and balance the state, it may not be a shortcut. What's more, Bingzhou's white porcelain is famous all over the world, and the glazed ware is a must. Do you still worry about making money with it? Doing so is truly beneficial and harmless!
With a smile, Sima Rui happily patted Director Wang's arm: "It's all from what Maohong said! If you come to Dabao one day, you will never forget your achievements."
No matter where Wang Dao dared to respond, he bowed humbly. But the attitude is there, but the means are not relaxed. Soon, Sima Rui sent Wang Dun to lead his troops to attack Xuzhou. I want to kill the fake emperor and eliminate hidden dangers. With the Yangzhou and Bingzhou hatchbacks echoing, how can the rest of the platforms take advantage of them? For a time, the chaotic situation turned into a calming situation.
