Chapter 514 Moving the Capital
"Mr. Guo Jia knows this much better than I have since ancient times." Seeing that Guo Jia was even a little incoherent at this time, Cheng Yu said at the corners of his mouth.
Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Guo Jia's body stiffened slightly, and there seemed to be a basin of cold water poured into his heart. Guo Jia was excited. Guo Jia was not shrewd enough. He was just shocked by the news of Cao Cao's death and became a little excited. In addition, Guo Jia regarded Cao Cao as his master and wanted to assist Cao Cao to achieve great career. He was worried about Cao Cao's death. At this time, Guo Jia finally became a little different. His eyes flashed, and then he became a little decadent and turned around and walked out.
Seeing Guo Jia's declining back, Lv Bu's lips moved slightly to say something, but he never opened his mouth. It was not until Guo Jia left that Lv Bu's bodyguard beside him gave a wink, making the bodyguard stare at Guo Jia secretly, afraid that Guo Jia would be out of it for a moment.
"The lord is really careful about filial piety, but I don't know if he can see the sincerity of the lord." Seeing Lv Bu like this, Chen Gong beside him couldn't help saying.
" As a minister, the able lord is so. Feng Xiao is really lucky, but Feng Xiao's affection for Cao Gong is too deep. It seems that he can't let go for a while." At this time, Cheng Yu also sighed.
"This is going to have Mr. Cheng Yu. Mr. Cheng Yu has worked with Feng Xiao for many years. I think he should be quite familiar with Feng Xiao. Please enlighten him more." Lv Bu turned his head and said to Cheng Yu. This made Cheng Yu and Chen Gong slightly surprised. Although Cheng Yuzhi was not as talented as Guo Jia, he was also a person with great talent. Lv Bu had just accepted Cheng Yu's surrender. The first task given to Cheng Yu was to let Cheng Yu persuade Guo Jia well, which made Cheng Yu feel that Lv Bu still valued Guo Jia. On top of my own guess, at the same time, this is also Lv Bu's test for Cheng Yu.
"For the order of the Prime Minister, Cheng Yu will naturally do his best. However, before that, there is a merciless invitation to ask the Prime Minister to bury Cao Gong. Only then can Cheng Yu speak in front of Feng Xiao. As for the first task given to him by Lv Bu, it is naturally impossible for Cheng Yu to shirk. However, he also understands that it is not easy for him to convince Guo Jia. Not to mention that Guo Jia and Cao Cao Cao have a deep affection. Lv Bu is the culprit who killed Cao Cao. Even Cheng Yu and Guo Jia are also fighting with each other. Yes. Therefore, if you want to convince Guo Jia, first of all, you need to bury Cao Cao and comfort Cao Cao's spirit in heaven, so that Cheng Yu can say it well.
"Cao Cao is also a hero in the world. He should be buried thickly and ordered to bury Cao Cao according to the courtesy of the princes, and let the court draft a decree to make Cao Cao the Marquis of Wei." Lv Bu pondered a little and felt that what Cheng Yu said was very reasonable. He really needed to bury Cao Cao well. This is not only to tie Guo Jia well, but also to stabilize the hearts of the people, give reassurance to those who have followed Cao Cao today, and do their best for themselves in the future. So he said to Chen Gong.
"I have another unresilent invitation." Chen Gong nodded and did not do it immediately, but after a little thought, he seemed to add something.
"If you have anything to say from the public station, just say it." Lv Bu nodded and motioned.
"Please let Fengxiao be fully responsible for the burial of Cao Gong, and where will Cao Gong be buried? Please also publicize your intention."
"Cao Cao has ruled Yanzhou for many years, which is quite effective. Just because of a moment of greed, he died in Xuzhou. I think he will bury Cao Cao in the place where he died. This place is close to Yanzhou, which can facilitate the people of Yanzhou and alarm the world. Let Fengxiao take full responsibility for this matter. I think he will understand what I mean. Lv Bu thought for a moment and then said to Chen Gong.
Two months later, Lv Bu led a large army back to Chang'an and was warmly welcomed by the people of Chang'an. Emperor Xian also responded ten miles out of the city in person.
"Aiqing has worked hard on this trip. This time, Aiqing wiped out the traitor Yuan Shu, occupied most of Xuzhou and Yangzhou in Yuzhou, and greatly increased the prestige of the imperial court. As a comfort, I have prepared a celebration banquet for Aiqing. Aiqing will go with me." With that, Emperor Xian took a step forward directly, grabbed Lv Bu's hand, and pulled Lv Bu to his frame. It seemed that he was going to enter the city in the same car with Lv Bu.
"Your Majesty is still used to living in Chang'an these years?" In the past, Lv Bu entered Chang'an. At that time, although Emperor Xian was smart, he was still young. However, at this time, Lv Bu saw that although Emperor Xian's face was still a little tender, he was already a young man. Although Lv Bu often fights outside these years, he has never relaxed his attention to Emperor Xian. Although Emperor Xian is just a puppet in recent years, under the ** of the imperial master Yang Biao, although he is quite polite to Lv Bu, it is extremely rare for a young man to be able to hide his edge. More importantly, although Emperor Xian has nothing to do over the years, he has not been infected with any bad habits. Obviously, he is waiting for an opportunity to escape from the cage, which makes Lv Bu a little alert. However, in Lv Bu's view, even if Yang Biao and Emperor Xian had a plan, it was just a spring dream. It must be that all the rights of the Han man at this time were in Lv Bu's hands, and Lv Bu's territory was also beaten down one by Lv Bu one by one. Although he was under the hat of a big man, to put it bluntly, Emperor Xian was nothing. What's the relationship. Emperor Xian wanted to mobilize even one soldier in the court, which was also a serious matter of air crash.
"Chang'an is very good. What does Aiqing mean?" Hearing Lv Bu's words, he seemed to have a deep meaning. Although Emperor Xian was alert, he couldn't figure out any clues. He just said vaguely.
"As long as your majesty likes it here. Now the strength of the court is getting stronger and stronger, and the land of the Central Plains is about to return to the court. I intend to move the capital and return to Luoyang. Since your majesty is used to living in Chang'an, I don't think I need to move to Luoyang with the court, which will save the fatigue of the journey. Although Chang'an is the old capital of the Han Dynasty, it is quite inconvenient for Lv Bu to travel to and from Chang'an. Therefore, Lv Bu has long been brewing to move the capital back to Luoyang, but he has never had time. Now Lv Bu's strength has been further consolidated. There is only Yuan Shao's family left in the north, and Liu Biao Sun Ce in the south can't set any wind for a while. Lang, Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu are just mediocre people, so Lv Bu wants to move the capital to Luoyang in order to fight against Yuan Shao and completely unify the north.
"This?" Although Emperor Xian was young and old, he was also a little confused about Lv Bu's words. He didn't understand why Lv Bu moved the capital, but he didn't take himself. He just said that he wanted to move the court to Luoyang. What was the court? In Emperor Xian's opinion, that's himself and a group of ministers, but if he doesn't bring him, it means that the court in Lv Bu's mouth seems to have excluded himself, the core emperor. Is that still the court? However, in the face of Lv Bu, Emperor Xian could not say any objection.
"Since Your Majesty has no opinion, this matter has been decided." With that, Lv Bu stood up, came out of Emperor Xian's frame, and then said to the surrounding eunuch maids, "Send your majesty back to the palace."
After saying that, Lv Bu went straight to his red rabbit horse, took the civil and military officials, and went to his mansion in the warm welcome of the people along the street.
"What? The Prime Minister is ready to move the capital to Luoyang without his majesty. How can this be? What kind of relocation is this? After Yang Biao and others got the news of Lv Bu's relocation from Emperor Xian's mouth, they thought that they could finally return to Luoyang, which had been separated for a long time. They must have left Luoyang over the years. Everyone missed it very much. However, when they heard that Lv Bu was not ready to take Emperor Xian, their faces changed greatly and they had an ominous foreboding.
"What exactly does Lu Bu want to do? What is the court without the emperor? Someone questioned
"Master, you are our leader. You still need to think of a way to deal with this matter. If Lv Bu continues to make trouble like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the court to continue." Some people are even more alarmist.
"A court without an emperor? This is rebellion, and this is the real rebellion. Someone was so excited that they even shouted.
"We might as well go to Lv Bu jointly. Even if he is so powerful, can he kill us all?" Someone has come up with a solution.
"Master, you are my teacher. You should say something." Looking at Yang Biao, who didn't say a word for a while, Emperor Xian said with a sad face.
"Over the years, your majesty has lived under Lv Bu's nose. Hasn't your majesty lived enough days like this?" At this moment, Yang Biao raised his head and said to Emperor Xian.
"What does Taishi mean?" After listening to Yang Biao's words, Emperor Xian seemed to notice something? Is it possible that what Lv Bu did this time was not his own doomsday, but that he would not succeed? Although he felt that such an idea was close to a fantasy, Emperor Xian was still surprised and wanted to listen to Yang Biao's words.
"In those years, in order to escape from Lv Bu's control, His Majesty ran away several times, but in the end it could not be achieved for some reasons. However, at present, Lv Bu moved the capital, but left His Majesty in Chang'an. To put it bluntly, Lv Bu just wanted to establish a court without an emperor and gradually marginalized His Majesty. However, this also means that Lv Bu will relax his control of His Majesty, and His Majesty's opportunity is also in it.
Yang Biao's words are very realistic. Since Lv Bu defined the emperor's right as serving heaven, Emperor Xian not only actually lost control of the Han court, but also nominally lost control of the court. This time Lv Bu moved his capital to Luoyang, which is to establish a court without an emperor at all. Gradually marginalized, the imperial power was gradually diluted from people's images, so that the emperor, who was supposed to be the center of power in the Han Dynasty, was separated from the power system. And this also means that Lv Bu needs to gradually reverse people's minds, but this is not destined to be easy to do. It may require the efforts of several generations. This pair of Han royal families can be said to be the bottom of the pot. However, it is also an opportunity for Emperor Xian, because Lv Bu's relocation of the capital will mean that Emperor Xian has gradually escaped from Lv Bu's full control and can do something unknown in Chang'an, the old capital of the Han Dynasty.
