Chapter 397 Lu Xun's Method(1/2)
Historically, Zhang Chunhua was Sima Yi's original wife, an extremely intelligent and powerful woman.
Sima Fang said she was virtuous?
Liu Chuang didn't feel it, because in later generations, most of his comments on Zhang Chunhua were about how strong and shrewd this woman was.
However, Liu Chuang didn't know Zhang Chunhua very well, and he had no interest in understanding it.
As he said to Sima Fang, it is difficult for a clean official to make a decision. This is the Sima family's affairs. Even if Sima Yi is his cousin, he is not qualified to get involved. The more you get involved, the more troubles it will be. The best solution is to let Sima Yi come forward to solve it himself. And Liu Chuang also believes that it seems not difficult to get this matter done with Sima Yi's means.
After appeased Sima Yi and decided to divide the power of Huangge, Liu Chuang's energy focused on moving the capital.
As time goes by, the situation in the north is stabilizing, and the issue of moving the capital becomes more and more urgent. After all, Xu Du was not the center of the city for a long time. Once Liu Chuang used troops to the south, Xu Du would inevitably be affected. In history, Cao Cao tried to move the capital several times later. After enthroning the King of Wei, he simply established the capital in Yecheng because although the transportation of Xu Du was convenient, it was too easy to be disturbed by the boundary. Liu Bei went north from Jingzhou several times, and Cao Cao felt the pressure, and Xu Du also changed due to this.
Of course, Liu Chuang didn't want to be disturbed when he started war in the south.
In contrast, Luoyang is the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and is located in Heluo and has eight guards. Unless a large-scale riot occurs, it is difficult to threaten the safety of Luoyang. The capital will be moved one day earlier, and the peace of mind will be felt earlier, so that Liu Chuang can use all his strength to fight the south.
But the Emperor of Han obviously did not want to move the capital too early because he felt that if he arrived in Luoyang, he would probably be completely wiped out by Liu Chuang.
Therefore, the Shangshutai and the General's Mansion have repeatedly requested the report, hoping that the Han Emperor would make a decision as soon as possible, but the Han Emperor has been pushing against the three and four.
Liu Chuang felt that his patience was about to be exhausted by Liu Xie!
In April of the tenth year of Jian'an, something major happened in Xudu, which shocked the government and the public.
The Emperor of Han didn't know what was going crazy, but suddenly ordered the emperor to abolish the queen and sent Empress Fu Fu Shou into the cold palace.
When the news reached Liu Chuang's ears, Liu Chuang was also shocked. In his impression, the relationship between Emperor Han and Empress Fu had always been very good. In history, Empress Fu was even sentenced to death by Cao Cao because of helping Liu Xie, and the two children born to Empress Fu were not spared. The Fu family was loyal to Emperor Han, and Emperor Han was also very dependent on the Fu family. Why did the deposed queen suddenly happen?
Liu Chuang's first reaction at that time was that Liu Xie and Queen Fu were acting.
But when I thought about it later, it didn't seem to look like it.
Everyone knows that Empress Fu followed Liu Xie through life and death, and the Fu family was firmly supporting Emperor Han at least on the surface. At this time, Emperor Han deposed the Empress, wouldn’t he destroy the Great Wall by himself? Unless Fu Wan also participated in it and was ready to cooperate with Emperor Han to confuse Liu Chuang.
"Wenhe, what happened in the palace?"
Liu Chuang quickly called Jia Xu to ask about the specific situation.
Since Liu Chuang decided to divide the Huang Pavilion, Jia Xu has gradually taken control of the situation in the Huang Pavilion.
Before taking up this internal position, Jia Xu had heard of Huangge. However, he did not know much about the specific situation of Huangge.
However, after contacting the internal organizational structure of Huangge, Jia Xu couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Through Huang Pavilion, Liu Chuang almost controlled the situation in the world. Huang Pavilion involved all aspects, including the food, clothing, housing and transportation of ministers in the court, and Huang Pavilion also had very detailed records. Liu Chuang had such a terrifying intelligence agency, which also made Jia Xu secretly startled.
At the same time, he was also very happy. Taking charge of Huang Pavilion means that he has received the attention of Liu Chuang.
Cao Cao's five major planners, Cheng Yu died in battle. Xun Yu was hidden behind the scenes.
Xun You joined the General's Office as an assistant to Liu Chuang. Although Guo Jia followed Liu Chuang under Xun You's persuasion, he was now recuperating in his hometown in Yangdi due to his health. Among the five major planners, only Jia Xu is the only one who really holds power. If Jia Xu is younger, even if he is ten years younger, he may not be willing to take over Huangge. But now, he is old after all. After taking over Huangge and handling Huangge's affairs properly, he is probably in his seventies. He may not have devoted himself to his post.
If this is true, the Jia family's future will inevitably be better.
But if he was ten years younger, he might end up in a bad end.
What a smart person, Jia Xu, could see the pros and cons of taking charge of Huang Pavilion at a glance.
The young man took over Huangge, and the result would be miserable; but now he is nearly sixty years old, and taking over Huangge would be a good thing.
Jia Xu is good at protecting himself and doesn't like to show up in public.
The Huang Pavilion’s ministries were simply tailor-made for him, and the organizational structure has been built, so the next step is to further improve it.
If you want to completely perfect Huangge, you will not succeed in ten years.
Jia Xu made a calculation in private, but how to calculate the result and how to benefit... So, after Liu Chuang's appointment was issued, he happily took office.
"I have sent someone to inquire about this matter. It seems that His Majesty had favored noble people before, which made the Queen dissatisfied.
A few days ago, the queen advised His Majesty, hoping that he could escape from the gentle town and pay more attention to government affairs. His Majesty said that he is only a puppet now, so how could he take charge of the court? Perhaps the queen's words were too intense, which angered His Majesty. As a result, the two quarreled, and the Queen accidentally threw His Majesty's favorite jade town out, which injured the nobleman, which also caused His Majesty to be furious..."
Liu Xie seems to have lost his temper.
But Liu Chuang still dared not take it lightly. It was Liu Xie's several troubles in history that made him quite worried.
After pondering for a long time, Liu Chuang asked again: "What have Fu Wan done recently?"
"The General of the Sui Kingdom is very angry about this. He has been staying at home to express his gratitude to guests in recent days, and no one has seen him."
"Is it true that no one has seen him?"
Liu Chuang couldn't help asking, "Didn't someone send someone to explain?"
Jia Xu shook his head and said with a smile: "Now the palace has been closed, and there are records of people entering and leaving the palace... and the queen has been sent to the cold palace, and His Majesty even sent someone to take care of it. All the people around the queen have been locked up in the cold palace, so it is not easy to convey the news.
After this incident, Fu Wan was also very angry.
According to the detailed work in Fu Mansion, Fu Wan and the eldest princess discussed matters in the study many times, but the specific situation is not clear."
In other words, is this true?
After hearing this, Liu Chuang finally felt relieved... However, he still did not dare to relax and ordered Jia Xu to continue monitoring and never let go of any clues.
Before Fu Wan, he had already lost to Liu Chuang.
But this does not mean that Liu Chuang can really trust Fu Wan.
People will change... I remember Fu Wan was as loyal to the Emperor of Han, but secretly contacted him. Now, no one can guarantee whether Fu Wan was colluding with the Emperor of Han again. Be careful of such things, and Liu Chuang didn't dare to just sit idly by.
The farce of the deposed queen lasted throughout April.
Liu Chuang did not interfere in this matter, but watched coldly.
He also wanted to see what the Han Emperor was doing. Whether Liu Xie was a real deposed queen or a fake deposed queen, Liu Chuang would not intervene. If Liu Xie was a real deposed queen and cut off his own arm, it would be a good thing; if he was a fake deposed queen, Liu Chuang also wanted to see how he would end up in the end. In short, this matter is beneficial to Liu Chuang. If Liu Xie was a real deposed queen, he would not mind supporting Fu Zhong. To be honest, the Fu family in history has made too much contribution to the Han Dynasty!
As May enters, the deposed queen finally comes to light.
Emperor Han was serious this time... Liu Chuang also generally understood the main reason.
The reason was that Fu Wan was previously implicated in the recommendation of Liu Yan. After the incident of Liu Yan, he took the initiative to resign and retired at home, without any military power. The Emperor of Han still had some hope for him at the beginning, hoping that Fu Wan could return to the court as soon as possible.
But after Fu Wan retired, he not only did not actively operate, but instead handed over all the power in his hands, and even left behind the guests behind closed doors.
This also made Liu Xie very angry, and at the same time he also felt that the Fu family had no value for use.
Fu Wan now has no military power and no money, so he cannot help him at all. On the contrary, the Concubine Li, whom he now favors, is indeed a child of a prominent family in Yingchuan. His family has a lot of money and food, and he is also very prestigious locally.
Liu Xie hopes to slowly cultivate a force through Li Guiren's family.
But Li Guiren hoped to replace Fu Shou and become the queen... The Li family was a prominent family, but it was still much worse than the four surnames of Yingchuan. In this era, although the imperial power declined, in the eyes of ordinary people, the emperor was still the supreme existence. Especially when Liu Chuang entered Xudu, as a royal family, Liu Chuang would definitely revive the Han Dynasty. If he became a relative of the outside world, he would be glorious.
The Li family hopes to take this opportunity to leap at the dragon gate.
Liu Xie hopes to cultivate his own strength through the Li family...
In this way, when Fu Shou tried his best to persuade the Emperor of Han to work hard to govern, Liu Xie used the excuse that she offended Tianwei and wanted to depose Empress Fu and support Li Guiren.
After finding out the reason, Liu Chuang couldn't help but say to Fa Zheng: "The emperor can be regarded as a medical treatment for the disease!"
Fa Zhengshen agreed and showed a disdainful smile.
The Li family is a powerful man in Yingchuan, but only a powerful man... If you want to cultivate your strength through a rich man, how can you succeed?
No matter what, Fu Wan said, his seven generations were loyal to the Han Dynasty and were also a royal relative.
Even if he has no power or money, as long as he stands there, he will be a banner of the Han family.
Regardless of whether Fuwan is still loyal to the Han Emperor, some people will always gather to serve the Han Emperor. But now, Fuwan's flag has fallen, do you think a rich man can replace Fuwan? Not to mention anything else, just how many people under the jurisdiction of Yingchuan County will obey the call of the Li family?
Not to mention the children of famous families, even those poor people may not recognize the Li family.
Fa Zheng sneered: "The emperor is really a tragic person who is so rude.
It would be a wise move for the general not to get involved. However, if this continues, Yu Han’s family will lose face and need to make plans early.”
The meaning of Fa Zheng is that Emperor Han is no longer enough to be the emperor.
Of course, Liu Chuang could understand what he meant, but he had no comments and just smiled slightly...
Let's make a fuss, the more ruthless you, Liu Xie, will be easier when I deal with you in the future. In fact, Liu Chuang discussed with Jia Xu with appropriate countermeasures as early as when he was in the Wei family. However, he still lacks an opportunity, and an opportunity to have an attack, so he can only endure.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At the end of May, the memorial about Liu Chuang's conferred king gradually faded.
However, after a period of consideration, the princes of all walks of life began to react.
In early February, Zhuge Liang went to Guanzhong to take charge of Chang'an... He appointed Yang Biao and Cao Peng as Jingzhao Shaoyin, and increased his efforts to govern Guanzhong. Zhuge Liang used tough measures to carry out bloody suppression for those Guanzhong tyrants who tried to repeatedly; and he tried his best to win over several major families in Guanzhong, such as the Hongnong Yang family and other wealthy families. For this reason, Zhuge Liang also recruited Yang Biao's second son to join the army as Gongcao, and released enough kindness. In response, Yang clearly expressed his support for Zhuge Liang.
In the same month, Zhuge Liang submitted a memorial to Liu Chuang, appointing Hao Zhao as the commander of the southern commander, and was in charge of Chen Cang.
Liu Chuang immediately issued an instruction, allowing Zhuge Liang to ask for it.
Hao Zhao was originally an old minister who had been trapped in battle. Since Liu Chuang went south, he has also made great achievements.
Hao Zhao in history is known for his good defense. Now he is following Zhang Liao, studying military strategy and making great strides...
As Hao Zhao took office as the commander of the Southern Army and took over Chen Cang, Liu Chuang's control over Guanzhong increased accordingly.
In April, when Xu Du caused panic because of the deposed Emperor Han. Zhuge Liang and Zhong Yao joined forces to wipe out several local tyrants in Guanzhong in one fell swoop, which also made the voices against Liu Chuang weakened... Zhuge Liang took advantage of the victory and launched heavy punches one after another to suppress some of the previous opposition forces. By June, the Han army had completely controlled Guanzhong. The 800-mile Qinchuan faction was pacified.
Seeing this, Hanzhong Prefect Zhang Lu also felt tremendous pressure.
