Great Han Empire

Chapter 955 Chapter [-]
In June, Jinyang.

That night, Li Hong held a banquet in the pass to welcome Wang Ze, Tian Yu, Ji Feng and others.

Feng Xue was too tired, so he took Li Xiu back to his room to rest early.After Fengxue left, Li Hong asked with a smile: "According to the schedule, you will be able to return in the early spring. Why is there a delay of more than four months? Is there anything going on in Damo, Liaodong, Fuyu and other places?"

Wang Ze, Tian Yu, and Ji Feng looked at each other, the smiles on their faces gradually faded, and their expressions suddenly became serious.

"For more than a year, we have traveled all over the desert, Liaodong, Fuyu and other places, and feel that the undercurrent is surging outside the Great Wall, and the storm is about to come." Wang sighed with a heavy heart, "on the prairie, our hearts We have been hanging on, worried that the army will not be able to conquer Luoyang, until we saw the general appearing in Juzhu Fortress, knowing that Luoyang has been conquered, our hearts were relieved."

Li Hong seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and was not very surprised by Wang Ze's words. He stroked his short beard and said lightly: "In recent years, Kirby Bear has shown his sharpness, not only attracting all our attention , and also cover up the crisis hidden in the desert. This time I let Kirby bear take the army to Hexi, the purpose is to expose the crisis outside the Great Wall. I want to see, besides Kirby bear, there are other Who wants to dominate the desert."

Wang Ze glanced at Li Hong, and said slowly: "In the past, Tanshihuai dominated the desert, and the Xianbei people were invincible outside the Great Wall. This is the glory of all Xianbei people. Big men, but in their hearts, the only hero in the desert is Kirby Bear, and the desert is their homeland, and they are always trying to take back the desert and rebuild the great achievements of Tanshihuai."

"In the past few years, the big man has repeatedly transferred troops from outside the Great Wall and confiscated cattle and sheep from outside the Great Wall. The continuous war of the big man has made them see the decline of the big man. Every corner of the prairie is rumored that the big man is struggling on the verge of death. Xianbei people Seeing the hope of taking back the desert, they are eager to move, and soon, there will be a lot of smoke and flames outside the Great Wall."

This time Li Hong frowned. He looked at Wang Ze, Tian Yu and Ji Feng, and asked coldly, "Is it so serious?"

"It's much more serious than the general expected." Tian Yu smiled wryly, and described in detail what he saw during the trip.

After Kirby Bear was hit repeatedly, his strength was damaged and his status was challenged.

First of all, the two Xianbei tribes in the middle and east began to split.Although Mi Jia and Su Li from Xianbei in the east are still supporting Kirby Bear, Que Ji, Huaitou and Su Li's younger brother Cheng Lugui have other ideas.After Kebixiong led the army to Hexi, Que Ji's son, Samad Khan, was frequently active in the Liaodong area, married Fuyu King Weiqiutai, and Liaoxi Wuwan Bailang Wang Louban also became brothers.Once Que Ji got the support of the Fuyu people and the Liaodong Karasuma people, he would most likely take the opportunity of Kirby Bear being far away in Hexi to force Mijia and Suli to leave Kirby Bear and build another palace.

The second is Fuluohan.Fuluohan is Tanshihuai's concubine grandson, so he should be Budugeng's older brother.At the beginning, Li Hong tried his best to support him. Firstly, because of his noble status, he had a certain appeal in Danhan Mountain; secondly, he was extremely loyal to the big man and was worthy of trust; , to the east can threaten Kirby Bear, and to the south can contain Shemo Ci, which can effectively check and balance several large Xianbei tribes in the middle of the desert.Fuluohan's strength developed rapidly, and he already had tens of thousands of cavalry.The greater the strength, the greater the ambition.Kirby Bear went to Hexi, and the Eastern Xianbei intended to fight against the court again. The Central Xianbei immediately became a lamb to be slaughtered, and of course it became the coveted prey of Fu Luohan.

However, Shemoci, the king of Xianbei in the south, was even more powerful, Fu Luohan was very afraid and did not dare to act rashly.

Shemoci's loyalty to the great man is unquestionable. His nephew Sheyingtong and son Shehu have followed the general for many years, so naturally they will not betray the general. But the problem is that Shemoci is old, and his eldest son Shelong is very Soon will inherit the throne given by Shemo, but Shelong and Fuluohan are like brothers.Back then when She Moci fled to the big man, Shelong was held as a hostage in Danhan Mountain, and he was able to survive thanks to the protection of Fu Luohan.Shemoci is very grateful to Fu Luohan for this, and Fuluohan was selected by the general as a support object precisely because of Shemoci's strong recommendation.

"If She Moci is dead, and Fu Luohan gets the help of Shelong, his strength will increase sharply, and he will definitely attack Kirby Bear."

Tian Yu was about to continue talking, but Li Hong interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "A few years ago, I heard from She Moci that he intended to let Shehu inherit the southern Xianbei, why has it changed now?"

"Although Shehu has the support of Sheyingtong, Shelong has the full support of Fuluohan, and after all, Shelong is the eldest son of Shemoci, and many tribal leaders in the southern Xianbei support him. Shemoci is worried about his death. Brothers fought against each other, so he has been hesitating, and he has not decided on the issue of succession." Tian Yu shook his head, "My lord Wang and I advised him to make a decision as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble, but he has too many worries, it is estimated to be a year and a half There won't be any results for a while."

"Shemoci is getting old." Li Hong smiled helplessly, "How can you hesitate about this kind of thing? Shall I send someone to go there again?"

"We've said what we should say, but Shemoci has concerns about Shemoci, so let him deal with it himself. Haste makes waste, and if you are in a hurry, something will happen instead." Wang Ze shook his hand, "In my opinion, It is better to let Kirby bear return to Huoyunyuan as soon as possible, and then let General Xian Yuyin go to Huoyunyuan twice in person at an appropriate time to show that the court attaches great importance to him, and take the opportunity to warn Fu Luohan, Que Ji and others not to take their own actions. Make trouble."

"In the short term, Kobe Bear won't be able to go back." Li Hong said, "The imperial court decided to recover Hexi first, and the battle there will continue for a while. In addition, I don't think there is any need for Kirby Bear to go back in a hurry. On the contrary, we should put He stayed in Hexi as much as possible to give Fu Luohan enough time to attack the central Xianbei, and then we let Kebi Xiong and Bu Dugeng attack and kill Fu Luohan, and let the Xianbei people fight the Xianbei people. If the Xianbei people lose their strength, the desert It can be stable for a long time, which is very beneficial to our ZTE business."

"General..." Tian Yu waved his hands hastily, "You'd better be more careful, now northern Xinjiang is not only about Xianbei people, but also about Karasuma people. If the desert is in chaos first, Baishan and Liaodong may also be in chaos Get up, the situation in northern Xinjiang will be out of control by then."

Li Hongnong frowned deeply, "Do Wuwan people dare to rebel? Qiu Liju has only been dead for a few years? Are Tadun, Wuyan, and Su Puyan all confused?"

Tian Yu sighed bitterly, "General, do you still remember why the imperial court conferred on Tadun the Great Shanyu of Liaodong Karasuma?"

Li Hong suddenly understood the reason, "Qiu Liju's son has grown up?"

"Growing up." Tian Yu said, "Not only did Louban grow up, but he also got the support of many Karasuma tribes in Liaodong. At the beginning, in order to avenge General Gongsun Zan, the imperial court specially conferred Tadun as the Great Chanyu, intending to be in Louban. When the squad grew up, he provoked civil strife in Liaodong Karasuma, and then killed Tadun and severely damaged Liaodong Karasuma. Now the situation in Liaodong is developing in this direction, and the instigator is ourselves."

Li Hong remembered the past, smiled wryly and was speechless.This is really shooting yourself in the foot.If the Karasuma people are in civil strife and fight in Liaodong, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to northern Xinjiang.

"Shamad Khan and Lou Ban sworn brothers, obviously for the purpose of patriotism. Behind Samad Khan is Que Ji, and behind Que Ji there must be the shadow of Fu Luo Han, because now Wushan in Baishan and Daijun There is also a crisis in the Maru people, and it is Fu Luohan and Shelong who caused this crisis. Fu Luo Han deliberately provoked civil strife among the Wuwan people in Youzhou, and the purpose is self-evident." Tian Yu continued, "Last year, Ran Ran, the leader of Karasuma in Dai County, died, and his successor was Ran Ran's son Xiuwulu. Xiuwulu was related to Baishan's Karasuma Shuai Nengchendi, and Nengchendi was the son of the former Baishan Marshal Tituo. "

"Back then, Tituo and the Xianbei native Tuobafeng invaded Youzhou together. The general killed Tituo in the battle of Hengling. Afterwards, Tituo's tribe was taken over by Heiling King Nanlou. More than ten years have passed. Tito's son has grown up, and his tribe has risen again. Nengchendi wants to take revenge, but his enemies are very powerful, whether it is Baishan Karasuma Dadanyu Loulu, or Shanggu's Bailu King Lu Pofeng , he can't afford to offend him, he can only wait for the opportunity, and can only find a way to find a helping hand."

"Fuluohan wants to dominate the desert, Shelong wants to drive away the Shanggu Karasuma people and dominate Chishui, Nengchendi wants to take revenge and wants to dominate the Baishan Mountain, and Xiuwulu because the Shanggu Karasuma people gradually migrated to Daijun and continuously invaded his pastures, He also harbored grudges against Lu Pofeng and wanted to take revenge, so they hit it off and joined forces to disrupt the situation in northern Xinjiang..."

"Is this your guess, or do you have evidence..." Li Hong suddenly interrupted Tian Yu with a wave of his hand, "Did Lou Lu, Lu Pofeng and Ta Dun tell you these words?"

"That's right, this is the guess of Lou Lu, Lu Pofeng and Ta Dun, but it's also our guess..." Tian Yu pointed to Wang Ze and Ji Feng with a slightly agitated expression, "General, the situation in northern Xinjiang is indeed overwhelming. If it comes, we can't turn a blind eye and let it develop. At present, the general's goal of transferring Kirby bear to Hexi has been achieved, and the army has also recovered Luoyang. It is no longer meaningful to keep Kirby bear on the Hexi battlefield. Let Kirby return to Huoyunyuan to ease the crisis beyond the Great Wall."

"Relief..." Li Hong raised his hand and lightly scratched his forehead a few times, thought for a while and said, "How about this, you write a detailed memorial to the situation in the desert, Liaodong and Baishan, and report it to the imperial court as soon as possible. Come up with countermeasures. I will stay in Jinyang for a while, and I can't go back for the time being."

"General, won't you go back to Chang'an with us?" Wang Ze asked in surprise.

"You guys go back first, it's rare for me to have time to spend with my family." Li Hong said with a smile, "Let's use power for personal gain."

Wang Ze and Tian Yu looked at each other and smiled, it was inconvenient to persuade them any more.

The sixth year of Jianxing in the Han Dynasty (202 AD), August.

=

August, Guanzhong, Liyang.

The imperial court had renewed disputes over the reconstruction of Chang'an.

Rebuilding Chang'an not only took a long time, but also required an astonishing amount of wealth.

According to the original plan, the imperial court will build Weiyang Palace, Shanglin Garden, Dongnao, Beinao, Xishi, Qiandian, Arsenal, Taicang, Sanyong Palace, Taixue and other buildings within three to five years. Completely repair the city walls that are more than 100 miles long.As for Changle Palace and Jianzhang Palace, they will also be built in succession thereafter.

Prime Minister Cai Yong, Taiwei Xun You and other ministers believed that no matter how long it would take to rebuild Chang'an, the imperial court's wealth would not be enough when the world had not yet settled down and the army would go out at any time. Therefore, the imperial court's taxation policy must be revised. On the basis of maintaining the current land tax and corvee, heavy taxes were imposed on merchants, and salt and iron were sold by officials in order to rapidly increase the total wealth of the imperial court.

This is the second time that some ministers in the DPRK and China have requested to revise the tax policy, and it is still headed by the Prime Minister, which has a very large impact.

Ministers such as Dasinong Li Wei, Shaofu Zhang Fan, Dahongyu Yuan Yao, Zhongshu Supervisor Chen Qun, and Taicang Ling Xuling immediately refuted and proposed to demolish Luoyang's South and North Palaces, Sanyong Palace, Taixue, etc. Buildings, relocate them to Chang'an as a whole, so as to save the cost of rebuilding Chang'an.It is true that the tax policy of the imperial court needs to be revised, but the direction of the revision is to encourage merchants to do business, to encourage the liberalization of salt and iron, and even to reduce land taxes and corvees appropriately so that the people can have enough food and clothing in the shortest possible time.

The two sides argued fiercely, and each refused to give in.

The eldest princess had no choice but to convene important officials of the court and central government to discuss matters in Yueyang Palace several times, trying to coordinate all parties and make the opinions tend to be unified, but the result was getting worse and worse.

Tai Fu Yang Biao, Tai Chang Xu Shao, General Master Dong Zhao and other ministers, under the instruction of the eldest princess, jointly presented a new memorial.Only half of the imperial palace in Luoyang was demolished, and the Northern Palace was demolished to rebuild the Weiyang Palace, while the Taixue remained in Luoyang, making Luoyang an academic sanctuary for the great Han.As a result, the imperial court's financial expenditure will be relatively large, so it is necessary to modify the taxation policy.In the long run, Yang Biao suggested restricting merchants and imposing heavy taxes on merchants.

This new memorial was immediately reprimanded by Cai Yong, Li Wei and others, and both sides pointed their spearheads at Yang Biao.Yang Biao was not a human being, and he didn't dare to offend the eldest princess, so he simply repeated the old trick. He suffered from a leg disease, so he asked for leave and could not go to court.

The eldest princess was helpless, so she had to send an order to the general Li Hong, asking him to return to the capital immediately.

In September, General Li Hong and his family rushed to Liyang.

When Li Hong was in Jinyang, he had already received letters from Prime Minister Cai Yong and others, and he had a clear understanding of the disputes between the court and China, and he had already drawn up a memorial.

At the court meeting, General Li Hong came up with a plan acceptable to all parties.

The imperial palace in Luoyang will not be demolished, Sanyong Temple will not be demolished, and Taixue will not be demolished. Luoyang is the eastern capital of the Han Dynasty, and all buildings will be preserved and properly repaired.

Chang'an is the capital of the Han Dynasty, and it can also be called the Western Capital.If the capital is to be magnificent, it can be built as it should be built. It will be built in ten years, 20 years, 30 years, or even 100 years. Majestic, more imposing.

Before the world is pacified, the common people must be frugal, the officials must be frugal, and the court must also be frugal. Therefore, the necessary buildings such as Weiyang Palace and Sanyong Palace must be rebuilt in Chang'an first, and other buildings will be discussed after the world is pacified.

The taxation policy of the imperial court needs to be changed, but it should be revised in accordance with the proposals of Da Si Nong Li Wei. The taxation of the common people should be reduced or exempted, the merchants should be more favorable, the salt and iron should be more liberalized, and the agriculture, industry and commerce should be promoted. Development, in order to increase the total amount of court taxes.

At the beginning of October, under the persuasion of the general, Prime Minister Cai Yong, Taiwei Xun You and other ministers finally accepted the memorial, and the difficult problem of rebuilding Chang'an was solved smoothly.

However, in mid-October, there was a sudden change in the court, and conflicts broke out suddenly.
