Dajin royal family

Chapter 25
Chang'an City, the Imperial Palace, and the Imperial Study Room.

Attendant Jia Nei went to Qi County with Jiang Chengxiao to announce the decree this time. In fact, he took another task of the emperor, which was to observe the combat readiness of Qi County. However, before he arrived in Qi County, he was attacked by thieves in Luoshui, which is close to Luoyang. , Janet waiter keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Today's Great Jin Dynasty is a peaceful and prosperous age, and there are no water bandits who are brave enough to attack the official ships of the imperial court blatantly.Jiang Chengxiao understood this, and as a person who served the emperor, Jiane Shi naturally understood it too.

At that time, he suspected that it was the work of Qi County, so he disembarked in Luoyang and rushed back to Chang'an under the pretext of "maintaining the dignity of the court and dispatching officers and soldiers to wipe out the water bandits".

Of course, whether there is any "fear of death" in this is debatable.However, he understood better that Luoyang was the place where the emperor was thinking of. Once something happened in this place, the emperor would definitely not just sit idly by.

"Your Majesty, the situation is like this. The prince of Dai Wang may have entered Qi County now, and there is a bandit army in Luoyang. Please make a decision as soon as possible." Janei waiter knelt on the ground, and he felt a little uneasy. The official ship was attacked that night He was hiding in the cabin like Jiang Chengxiao, and he wasn't sure if the other party was a thief, but he was afraid, afraid that if he continued walking, his life would be in danger.

The emperor's face changed slightly, Luoyang was his future capital, he couldn't just watch something happen in Luoyang.He waved his hand to ask Jia Nei to wait on him, and he got up and walked to the inner room of the imperial study room, where there was a huge "Great Jin Kanyu Map" hanging in the inner room

Luoyang is located in the center of the whole world. When he explored the south, he mainly focused on two places, one was Luoyang and the other was Jiangdu.

It was necessary to move the capital to Luoyang. The idea had already been born in the time of the first emperor, but because of the obstruction of the nobles in Guanzhong, it could not be realized. Now that he holds the power, he naturally has to do the same.

If he does not leave Guanzhong, he will not be able to get rid of the influence of the nobles in Guanzhong.If these aristocratic families are not attacked, the imperial power will be threatened by them, which he cannot tolerate.

Not long after, Yang Taisu, Prime Minister of the Right, entered the Imperial Study in military uniform.

"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty has lived forever."

"Exemption."

The emperor said: "I got the news that bandits appeared in Luoshui and attacked the official ship sent by the imperial court to Qi County. What does Yang Xiangguo think?"

Yang Taisu went forward to salute, then picked up the small wooden pole, pointed to Kanyu map and said: "Your Majesty, if the information is true, the first purpose of the bandit army should be to take down Dongjun, then threaten Luoyang, and close the gate of Zhongzhong."

"Now I have assembled 20 troops in Guanzhong, another 20 troops have assembled in Hedong County, and [-] civilians who transported strategic materials have also been in place. The veteran is confident that he can take back Dongjun and force the bandit army to transfer the battlefield back to Shandong. , to keep Luoyang safe."

Yang Taisu knew that the emperor wanted him to keep Luoyang, so he immediately expressed his attitude.

The emperor nodded, Yang Taisu's answer made him very satisfied, he would never let Luoyang become the main battlefield.

Yang Taisu hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, now that the King of Han has not directly conspired against him, what reason should Your Majesty use to convince the important officials of the court to send troops to attack the King of Han?"

To put it bluntly, he was asking the emperor what reason and excuse he used to attack the King of Han.The imperial court will definitely not agree to the fact that the teacher comes out of no name and moves the army rashly.

The emperor smiled slightly and said, "The son of the Dai Wang has now entered Qi County."

Hearing this, Yang Taisu was stunned, and said respectfully: "I will go back to order Qi soldiers and wait for your Majesty's order."

The next day, the emperor held a grand court meeting at the end of May.

The Great Court Conference is held in the Guangming Hall, and all officials above the fifth rank in Beijing must attend.

In the Hall of Light, the emperor wears a nine-comb crown and a bright yellow Nine-Dragon Robe, kneeling and sitting on the Ziwei emperor star facing south and north.In the Great Jin Dynasty, Tude was the king, and the royal costumes were mainly bright yellow.

Under the nine steps, on the left and right are the Xiangguo on the left and right, the six ministers, the Taichang Temple, the Dali Temple, and the Neishiling of the three provinces.

In addition, the three historians were behind the curtain in the corner of the Guangming Hall, holding pens in their hands, and listening carefully to the voices above the hall.

I only heard the emperor say: "My dear family, I sent the generation of the prince to Qi County to announce the decree and summoned the king of Han to return to Beijing. How to deal with it?"

It doesn't matter whether Jiang Chengxiao is under house arrest or not. Now that he is not in Chang'an, no one will question the emperor if he is killed by the King of Han.

Zuo Xiangguo Gao Xun, who knew the ins and outs of the matter before, straightened his back, and said in a clear voice: "I think that the King of Han's despise of the court's heavenly power must not be tolerated. Otherwise, what is the majesty of the court and what is the order of the Great Jin Dynasty?"

Right Prime Minister Yang Taisu said: "I would like to lead the army to attack the dissidents, please give me an order."

At this time, the British Duke Dou Wei cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Qi County is thousands of miles away from Chang'an. If the King of Han raises his troops, he must march westward to capture Luoyang and establish a puppet dynasty. In my opinion, I should send a large army to Luoyang to avoid this trouble." .”

Du Guzheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are supporting the proposal. Luoyang has a well-developed water system, and supplies from Guanzhong can be delivered in a steady stream in time. If Luoyang is used as a base to counterattack, the anti-king will be wiped out within three months."

The emperor on the high platform squinted at Dou Wei and Duguzheng, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Dou Qing and Duguqing's family is really old-fashioned, and I am very relieved."

He suddenly changed his voice and said: "The Jin army is strong and the barbarians surrender. Now facing a mere anti-king who wants to counterattack from a stronghold, how will the subjects of the world view me?"

The internal history ordered Wei Hongdao: "Your Majesty, the King of Han has been in Qilu for a long time, and the people's hearts are unpredictable. If he rushes out of Luoyang, I am afraid that there will be some omissions. I suggest that the Dai Wang lead the army to go south and go straight to Qi County. Annihilate the anti-king in one fell swoop."

Yang Taisu retorted: "Your Majesty Wei's remark is inappropriate. The purpose of the Dai Wang's army stationed in Wuyuan County is to defend against the Turks. He left the northern land without permission. I'm afraid the frontier is uncertain."

He cupped his hands to the emperor and said, "I would like to ask for an order to send troops out of Luoyang and station them in Dongjun, so as to fight against the anti-king."

Wei Hong's complexion changed, and he exchanged glances with Duguzheng and Dou Wei calmly, Dou Wei said: "Your Majesty, Dongjun is a plain, and there are no strong passes to defend. Once the anti-king cavalry sharpened and outflanked, I'm afraid I will fall into a place of isolation and helplessness, please think twice, Your Majesty."

The hall fell silent, and the emperor's eyes glanced at Duguzheng, Dou Wei, and Wei Hong.From the beginning to the end, it was the nobles in Guanzhong who opposed the direct troops out of Luoyang, and their wolf ambitions were clearly revealed.He also looked at Pei Ju, Minister of Rites, Zheng Shanyuan, Minister of Dali Temple, and Wang Yi, Minister of Taichang Temple. He was very annoyed that these Shandong nobles kept silent from the beginning.

At this time, Zheng Shanyuan suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I agree with Yang Xiangguo. Please send troops as soon as possible to save the next generation prince."

At the beginning, Wang Yi and Pei Ju cursed inwardly when they heard Zheng Shanyuan speak, this is their Guanzhong aristocrat's rebellion, what are you messing with, just let them make trouble on their own.But as soon as the second half of the sentence was uttered, Pei Ju and Wang Yi immediately understood that Zheng Shanyuan was playing sloppy.

Now that the imperial court is at a stalemate, the emperor will inevitably let a third-party force express its position, and the Shandong gentry will bear the brunt of it.

Now Zheng Shan is willing to agree with Yang Taisu, not because he really agrees, but because he is worried about the prince's son.Zheng Shanyuan is the grandfather of the prince's son. From his standpoint, it is most appropriate to use this reason to play sloppy eyes.

Because Pei Ju and others could see that the emperor was obviously in favor of Yang Taisu's plan. Now that Zheng Shanyuan agreed with Yang Taisu, he agreed with the emperor. On the other hand, the nobles in Guanzhong couldn't use this to attack them, because Zheng Shanyuan was the grandfather of the prince's son.

Is it wrong for the grandfather to want his grandson to escape danger? Yes!
Therefore, although Duguzheng and the others understood Zheng Shanyuan's small plan, they were not easy to refute.
