The renovation of the eastern capital Luoyang has been basically completed...

Especially as the main project of this capital relocation, the Imperial City has completely restored its old appearance.

According to the drawings sent by Mi Zhu, the imperial city was basically repaired according to its past appearance, which was almost not much different from the Luoyang Imperial City during the Chuping period. In fact, since the fourth year of Jian'an, the imperial city had begun to be repaired. At that time, Cao Cao gradually stabilized the situation, and the Heluo area gradually stabilized, and Guanzhong was gradually recovering.

In contrast, although Xu Du has convenient population and food, it is too close to the front line.

Liu Biao sent troops to threaten Wancheng, and then threatened Yingchuan, causing the entire Xudu to fall into a turbulent situation. Although Xudu is good, it is not suitable for living for a long time. At that time, Cao Cao had the idea of ​​moving the capital, so he began to repair Luoyang Imperial City.

After several years, Luoyang finally returned to its original appearance.

However, after Liu Chuang occupied Luoyang, in order to stabilize the people's hearts, he ordered the expansion of Luoyang again.

The new Luoyang City will expand its area three times based on the original original Luoyang... The entire project will take five years. According to Liu Chuang's idea, after the expansion of Luoyang is completed, it will be able to accommodate more than one million people.

This is a face-saving project, and it is also a project related to the fortune of the Han Dynasty.

If the construction of the new Luoyang City is completed, it will further consolidate Liu Chuang's status and reputation. Many affairs can be carried out naturally. According to Liu Chuang's thoughts, in five years, the country will be stable.

There may be wars, but the Central Principles will be completely stable.

Now that the construction of the imperial city is completed, it also means that the capital is moving, and it is urgent.

After repeated court discussions, it was finally decided that the capital would be moved to Luoyang in November. However, before moving the capital, there was another thing, that was, the Han Emperor personally led the expedition. Liu Chuang was already a little impatient with the Han Emperor's ignorance! If this guy continued to stay in the Central Plains, he would inevitably have a constraint on Liu Chuang, which was definitely not what Liu Chuang wanted.

Therefore, it is even more urgent to drive this guy who is in trouble and out of the Central Plains.

As a result, the news from the border became more and more frequent, and under Liu Chuang's secret instruction, the people's voices calling on the Han emperor to lead the army in person became louder and louder...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Emperor Han, this time he did not resist too much.

However, he found a good excuse, saying that he was unwell, so he was preparing to postpone the imperial guards' personal expedition.

Liu Chuang did not force the Emperor of Han anymore. After all, he was the emperor, and Liu Chuang always wanted to leave some face for him. After confirming the matter of Emperor Han's personal expedition, the court meeting began to discuss another matter, that is, the day of the official capital. On the tenth day of November, Liu Chuang would officially move the capital back to Luoyang, and Xu Du will exist as a accompanying capital from then on...

After all, after ten years, Xu Du’s scale is now quite large.

The population of nearly 400,000 is destined to be impossible for Xu to exist as a small county as before. In this case, Xu Du's status must be improved. After repeated discussions, Liu Chuang finally decided to establish Xu Du as Zhongdu and set up Zhongdu Order, with a rank of two thousand stones, which is almost equivalent to the status of a prefect of a county.

After the matter of moving the capital was confirmed, the Secretary of State Order Sima Fang came out again and handed over the memorial.

The content of the memorial is very simple, saying that since the Han Dynasty, the prime minister has lost power and the emperor lacks a useful minister. Now, Liu Chuang revives the Han Dynasty but cannot be granted the title of king, so he dares to request the Prime Minister to be reset and Liu Chuang takes over.

When this memorial was heard, Liu Xie's face suddenly turned ashen.

He finally understood why so many people had requested to be king of Liu Chuang before. It turned out that this was the real purpose of Liu Chuang.

Liu Xie wanted to refuse, but the civil and military officials did not give him an excuse to refuse. At the same time, he stepped forward to ask for an order, and Liu Chuang took over the prime minister. At this point, the Emperor of Han finally understood! Liu Chuang designed this step by step very cleverly, from beginning to end, he came to the position of prime minister. He drove him out of the Central Plains and then moved the capital to Luoyang. As the prime minister, Liu Chuang took charge of the court and ordered the civil and military officials to command the civil and military officials. It became natural. If this continues, it will not take too long, and no one in the court will remember that there is an emperor in the world. At that time, Liu Chuang could go with the flow and take over the throne. Liu Xie was in Yanjing and could not make any sound at all, so how could he stop it?

Looking at Liu Chuang's eyes, it was like a fire spitting out!

Liu Xie was full of murderous intentions and forced a smile and said, "In other words, it is not an exaggeration to be the prime minister for his contributions, but his age... may not convince the world."

Liu Chuang's merits were achieved with one sword and one shot. No matter how dissatisfied with Liu Xie, he could not erase his merits.

Moreover, all civil and military officials were Liu Chuang's people, and they all recommended Liu Chuang in unison. If the Han Emperor forced his opposition, it would cause another turmoil. After repeated thinking, the Han Emperor finally decided to use Liu Chuang's age to talk about it. After all, Liu Chuang is less than 30 years old now, and is the prime minister of a country, under one person and above ten thousand people, which is still unreasonable.

But before the Emperor of Han finished speaking, a person walked out of the court.

"Your Majesty, this is a bad word.

Since ancient times, great people have been the first, and wise men are no matter big or small. In ancient times, Gan Luo was eight years old and now the emperor is close to thirty years old and has made outstanding contributions. Why can't he be the prime minister? Who can compare the merits in the world with the emperor's uncle? If the emperor's uncle is not the prime minister, who will be the prime minister? If Your Majesty does not accept the emperor's uncle as the prime minister, he may be taken advantage of by villains. It means that Your Majesty is afraid of the emperor's uncle and refuses to appoint virtuous people. If this spreads, it is only a bad thing for our Han Dynasty."

These words almost threatened the Han Emperor.

Liu Xie looked up and his face turned pale.

But he had no choice but to the person who spoke. Because the person who spoke was also a relative of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang.

Liu Ye went to northern Xinjiang that year and served as the governor of the Daxianbei Mountains.

Over the years, he had achieved outstanding political achievements in governing the Daxianbei Mountains and continued to erode the Fuyu Kingdom, which made the Fuyu Kingdom Lord Jian dare not act rashly and could only bow down and surrender. This time, Liu Ye came with Liu Chuang's family to assist in handling the capital relocation.

Now, Liu Ye has been appointed as the young mansion and is in charge of the position of governor of Yanzhou.

This is a hard-core Liu Chuang team. I heard that Liu Chuang was ready to take charge of the position of Emperor Zheng after moving the capital.

This sect is the sect of the Han Dynasty.

If Liu Ye took over the Zongzheng, then the entire Han clan relatives would nominally control Liu Chuang.

The Emperor of Han smiled forcibly and was about to speak, Liu Ye had already said first: "Your Majesty now serves as the Prime Minister, which is what everyone hopes for, and it is a great auspicious thing for our Han Dynasty. Isn't the emperor's reign as Prime Minister after his thirty years? Isn't it even more that God blesses the Han Dynasty?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, no one except the emperor's uncle can be competent as the Prime Minister."

The ministers spoke again, which also left Liu Xie without any excuses to obstruct him.

There was no way, he did not receive any notice in advance. If he could get a little bit of news, he would not be at a loss when facing the pressure from the ministers. Liu Xie took a deep breath and looked at Liu Chuang. However, he saw Liu Chuang smiled at him, and the expression on his face seemed extremely calm. This also made Liu Xie even more angry, but he didn't know what to do.

After a long time, Liu Xieqiang pressed his anger and a smile appeared on his face, "Since all the ministers think that the emperor is the most suitable, we will follow the report from all the ministers. However, this matter needs to be treated with caution. Please report the memorial as soon as possible, so I would like to choose to be the prime minister."

In this situation, if Liu Xie did not agree to Liu Chuang as the prime minister, it would be difficult to end the court meeting.

I had to delay... Anyway, he couldn't live long, and it was still a bit of a word to say whether he could last until he was on stage to worship the minister.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Moving the capital and becoming the prime minister is irreversible.

After achieving these two goals, Liu Chuang also breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, the identity of the emperor gave him an unparalleled precedence and also gave him many shackles.

It was not easy for him to take over the Emperor of Han and replace him.

At least on the surface, he must be careful and have nothing to say.

But the current situation is not mature enough. Even if the Han Emperor has reached the point where the wall is falling and everyone pushes him, he is still the emperor. If he cannot weaken his influence to the extreme, if Liu Chuang wants to replace him, he will cause another turmoil. In Liu Chuang's heart, he has already planned it properly. In a short period of time, he will never take the most critical step easily.

The next time, Liu Chuang led Fei Xiong Wei to Xudu and went to Zhanghuatai to inspect the Yafeng Cavalry Camp.

Now the Yafeng Cavalry has become one of the two trump cards in Liu Chuang's hands, which is as famous as the Tiger Ben Army. Liu Chuang has five ace troops under him. Gao Shun's camp, Xiahou Lan's Wudang Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry collected from Cao Cao. Among them, the Yafeng Cavalry and the Tiger and Ben Army follow Liu Chuang's left and right, while the Wudang Cavalry is stationed in Guanzhong, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are stationed in Runan, and Gao Shun's camp is stationed in Heluo, waiting for Liu Chuang to be dispatched at any time and not under the command of others.

Among them, Liu Chuang, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, had already had a candidate, namely Cao Zhang and Cao Ziwen.

This is almost well known. However, since Cao Zhang was still observing the mourning period, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was temporarily led by Xiahou Shang. This was also an appointment to appease the old subordinates of the Cao family. At least from the moment, the old subordinates of the Cao family were not dissatisfied.

The main general of the Yafeng Cavalry is Zhao Yun.

After inspecting the Yafeng Cavalry Camp, Liu Chuang left Zhanghuatai with Zhao Yun and went to Zhanghua Temple not far from Zhanghuatai to burn incense. Since the reign of Emperor Ming of Han, Buddhism has gradually been introduced to the Central Plains and has taken root in Luoyang White Horse Temple. Zhanghua Temple is a villa of White Horse Temple. After the war, the incense is still strong. At Zhanghua Temple, you can look at the Xudu city and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yingshui. Liu Chuang has also been able to make a living for half a day, so he has already made arrangements.

At about noon, just as the army was preparing for lunch, a loud bang suddenly came from the direction of Zhanghua Temple.

Even if it is more than ten miles apart, Zhanghuatai Camp can clearly feel the trembling of the ground.

Looking up, I saw thick smoke rolling in the direction of Zhanghua Temple...

Not good, something happened!

Just when everyone felt something was wrong, Li Ying, deputy general of the Yafeng Cavalry, suddenly led his troops to mutiny and attacked the Central Army camp.

Zhao Yun followed Liu to Zhanghua Temple, and no one in the army took charge of the overall situation.

Li Yingming's subordinates wrapped in white towels and attacked the Central Army camp with weapons. The Yafeng Cavalry did not expect that his troops would suddenly mutiny, so they were not prepared. In the blink of an eye, they became a mess. Li Ying sat on the horse and shouted loudly with a sword in his hand: "Now, he is the order of the emperor to kill Ji Wan, Liu Chuang is dead, are you still waiting for the order?"

"Kill Ji Wang and welcome the emperor!"

The rebels shouted in unison, and wherever they passed along the way, the arrows and cavalry scattered and walked away.

In just a moment, Li Ying brought his men to the gate of the Central Army. Just as he was about to order to invade the Central Army's camp, he suddenly heard three cannons coming from the gate, followed by the rumbling of war drums, and teams of soldiers emerged from the camp.

At the same time, the Arrow Cavalry soldiers who had previously been defeated and fled came from all directions.

However, unlike the previous defeat, these sergeants lined up in an orderly manner and surrounded the rebels.

Li Ying's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Just when he was at a loss, a team of cavalry slowly emerged from the gate of the central army.

An general immediately held a Jiazi sword in his hand and had a sarcastic smile on his face.

I saw him like a dragon horse under his crotch, wearing a purple gold crown, wearing a Tang Dynasty treasure armor, and a lion jade belt with his waist. He was majestic and murderous intent.

"Ignorous little thief, do you really think that a certain family doesn't know what to do when they are waiting for the annihilation plan?"

The visitor shouted loudly, "I am Liu Chuang, the emperor uncle of the Han Dynasty. You still have to surrender. When will you wait?"

Li Ying, whose courtesy name is Boying, was from Yingchuan and was the eldest brother of Concubine Li.

After Liu Chuang entered Xudu, Li Xun, his father, asked someone to join the Yafeng Cavalry. However, because the surname of the Yafeng Cavalry was different from that of other soldiers, after Li Ying joined the Yafeng Cavalry, he only served as a goalkeeper on the periphery. There was no way, the Yafeng Cavalry was disciplined strictly, and ordinary people would have to undergo some rigorous training if they wanted to join.

The troops and horses of Li Ying were actually like the reserves of the Yafeng Cavalry. In addition to normal operations, Pingyuri often served as the guard and patrol tasks on the outside of the Yafeng Cavalry. In other words, the troops and horses under Li Ying were recruited from the local area. Whether in terms of combat effectiveness or quality, they were far inferior to the Yafeng Cavalry's regular soldiers.

The reason why Li Xun let Li Ying get into the Yafeng Cavalry was to cultivate his own team.

In his opinion, as long as Liu Chuang and Zhao Yun died, Li Ying could quickly control the Yafeng Cavalry... As long as Li Ying controlled the Yafeng Cavalry, he would immediately enter Xudu City and control the situation in Xudu City. Another army under Liu Chuang was stationed in Changshe. Even if he got the news, Li Xun could control the situation.

Li Ying was also very attentive to this.

After joining the Yafeng Cavalry, he dispersed money and grain to win over the lieutenant generals.

However, the effect was not particularly obvious. Most of the generals in the army he made were peripheral generals like him. The core generals of the Yafeng Cavalry. Not to mention that he could not make friends with him, even if he came over, those people would ignore him.
To be continued...
