Han Dao world

If someone is half-hearted and still wants to echo Yuan Shao, you have to weigh it carefully to see if you can last until that day.

After Zhao Wen and the others heard it, they all felt reasonable.

It is really not an option for the emperor and the minister to live in Anyi city, it is too crowded, and even affects the normal business of the prefect's mansion.

To transform Wei's Manor into the Emperor's Palace, the insufficient materials were removed from Fan's Manor.Even if it's not enough, the quantity is very limited, and it's enough for each family in Hedong to donate some.

I believe that the Anyi clan will be very active. After all, they are all related to the Wei family and the Fan family. If there is an opportunity to express their loyalty and repentance, they will not refuse.

To them, the establishment of the capital Anyi is not only an honor, but also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become an official.

Only in this way, Pei Mao will make a contribution again.

Besides him, who else is suitable to come forward to contact the rich families in Hedong, donate money and materials, and help build the emperor's palace.

Yang Biao raised a question.

Has the emperor already decided to set up his capital in Anyi, or is he considering this possibility?

After all, his previous idea was to go to Bingzhou, the capital of Taiyuan, not Hedong.

Hedong is all good and good, but there is only one bad thing: it is not conducive to defense.

Facing Yang Biao's doubts, Pei Mao felt a little guilty, but his face remained calm.

"Duke Yang thinks, Taiyuan is suitable for establishing the capital, or Hedong is suitable for establishing the capital?"

Yang Biao is an old man who can see through Pei Mao's details at a glance.

This was just Pei Mao's wishful thinking, the emperor at most considered the possibility of this proposal, and did not make a final decision.

But he didn't say anything, just smiled.

Zhang Xi came to his senses immediately, and then said: "The establishment of the capital is related to the fate of the country. It should not be a joke. It should be presented to the emperor in the face of the three princes. Zirou, you are Situ. Let you take the lead. First, call the ministers and all the officials to come up with an opinion, then Let the emperor decide."

Zhao Wen glanced at Zhang Xi, then at Pei Mao, and nodded slightly.

"Wen Ruo, what's your opinion?"

Pei Mao looked at Xun Yu with expectation in his eyes.

Xun Yu smiled. "What Mr. Zhang said is reasonable, and the matter is of great importance. It should be discussed first by the ministers and other parties. It is not me, the governor of Hedong, who can comment on it."

Zhao Wen nodded slightly, but Zhang Xi stroked his beard and showed a satisfied smile.

Pei Mao was very disappointed.

Chapter 227 Self-defeating

After leaving Situ's mansion, Pei Mao walked side by side with Xun Yu and returned to the prefect's mansion.

After entering the door, Pei Mao couldn't help asking: "Why is Wen Ruo so uncertain about his compliance? You clearly know that Anyi is the most suitable capital?"

Xun Yu turned his head to look at Pei Mao, and couldn't help laughing.

"Jiguang, it's a blessing that your father and son are determined to forge ahead. It's just that it's too much, and it's not beautiful."

"It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's really an opportunity that cannot be missed. I have roughly calculated that the financial and material resources of Wei Fan Er's family and the practice palace are still not enough, and they need donations from various clans in Anyi. It’s hard to say how many people are willing to raise donations.”

Xun Yu went to the hall, sat down with the chairman, explained a few words to the officials who came up to him, and ordered that no one else be seen before dinner.

The subordinate official responded, saluted Pei Mao again, turned around and went down.

"Jiguang, with all due respect, Anyi is not suitable for Lidu."

"Why?" Pei Mao stood up.

Xun Yu waved his hand to signal Pei Mao not to get excited.

Pei Mao also felt that he had lost his composure, and sat back again, but his eyes were fixed on Xun Yu.

Xun Yu crossed his fingers, placed them in front of his abdomen, lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were a little more determined.

"Ju Guang thinks, what is the ambition of the Son of Heaven?"

Pei Mao replied: "Naturally, it is to calm down the world, restore the old capital, and rejuvenate the great Han."

"The Resurgent Han is the continuation of the Yan Han built by Guangwu?"

Pei Mao hesitated to speak, and looked at Xun Yu with more doubts in his eyes.

He and Xun Yu have not been in contact for a long time.Calculated carefully, that is two or three months.

But that's how people are.Some have been with each other for decades, and it is only a casual acquaintance, and it is difficult to become a real friend.Some have only met a few times, and they feel like old friends at first sight, entrusting them with their hearts.

This is the case with him and Xun Yu.

This is because they are similar in age and have similar interests, and there is also the reason that Xun Yu's name and reality are similar, and there are indeed reasons for real talents and practical work.

Even the latter is the key.

In contrast, he was very disapproving of another Wang Zuozhi.

Therefore, he did not dare to take Xun Yu's question lightly.

The Son of Heaven is the descendant of Guangwu, and if he revitalizes the Great Han, he is not the continuation of the Yan Han, what else can he be?

Pei Mao's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of Liangzhou.

There is no doubt that the forces in Liangzhou represented by Jia Xu have an unprecedented right to speak.

Regardless of whether it is now or in the future, the imperial court must consider the opinions of Liangzhou people, and will properly arrange Liangzhou's policies. It is impossible for the Guandong people to dominate and plan to abandon Liangzhou at every turn.

"Wen Ruo, are you saying that the emperor intends to abandon Luoyang and return to Xijing? Even so, it will not affect the establishment of the capital in Anyi..."

Pei Mao stopped talking halfway.

Xun Yu was looking at him, although he didn't have a fierce expression, it made him feel ashamed.

"If it's just to calm down the world, like the old sword and the new one, no matter if the capital is Luoyang or Chang'an in the future, it will not affect the establishment of the capital in Anyi. But if the emperor is not satisfied with this, he wants to return the old sword to the furnace and refine it a thousand times. , and cast the divine weapon again, then the capital Anyi will not be suitable."

Startled, Pei Mao subconsciously stood up again.

"Wen Ruo, the Son of Heaven has such a lofty ambition?"

Xun Yu nodded slightly. "Although the Son of Heaven is young, he has far-sightedness, beyond my reach. Rebuilding a great man is by no means as simple as returning to the old one."

He paused, sighed softly, and there was a hint of worry hidden deep in his eyes.

"Since Emperor Guangwu made Luoyang the capital, 170 years ago, the accumulated evils have been deep. If it can't be reworked, even if the emperor is holy, it will only last for one or two generations. After all, ZTE is only a momentary prosperity, and it will not last long."

Pei Mao nodded repeatedly, but did not answer Xun Yu's topic.

The court's long-standing abuses are a sensitive topic, and it is also one of the few differences between him and Xun Yu.If you want to tell the winner, it is definitely not possible at this time before dinner.

What's more, the focus now is not what the evils are, but the determination and actions of the emperor to get rid of the evils.

"Like Liangzhou, how to settle the Huns is also one of the matters that the emperor must consider. Enlightenment is essential, and conquest is also indispensable. The Huns killed Shan Yu without authorization. If the court cannot decide, the Huns think the court can be bullied, From time to time, troops will go south, can Anyi still be safe?"

Pei Mao frowned and remained silent for a long time.

As the site of the Four World Wars, the biggest threat to Hedong is not from the Central Plains or Guanzhong, but from the plateau in the north.

The Shanyu royal court of the Huns was in Meiji, posing a condescending threat to Taiyuan and Xihe.Taiyuan Yanmen can be guarded by all the fortresses, but Xihe has been reduced to a pasture for the Huns for many years.The Huns traveled down the river valley and could reach the east of the river in a few days.

From this point of view, Taiyuan is indeed more suitable for Lidu than Hedong.

Of course, there was another way: put down the rebellion of the Huns and bring Meiji's Chanyu Court under the control of the imperial court again.

It is better to raise the soup to stop the boiling than to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle.

The emperor's plan to conquer Meiji himself may be the plan.

The eldest son, Pei Qian, spends every day in the iron officials and does not show up, so he should also build weapons for this plan.

It was this plan that he had tried to dissuade just now.

For a moment, Pei Mao wanted to slap himself twice.

-

Liu Xie stayed with Yang Xiu for dinner.

Dinner is simple.

Although it is not the same bowl of barley rice and sauce as before, there is more meat and even a glass of wine.

But in Yang Xiu's view, the emperor is still too frugal.

"Your Majesty, the hospitality I receive from the noble clans of the Yi family and Xie county is richer than your imperial meal." Yang Xiu said while eating.

Liu Xie looked at Yang Xiu. "Put it down if you don't want to eat it, I'll keep it for supper."

"Your Majesty, I don't mean to dislike you." Yang Xiu said with a smile.

Having dinner with the Son of Heaven, even if you just give him a bowl of water, he will be happy with it.

"I just said that although Hedong has experienced repeated wars in the past few years, these wealthy families have not been affected. Not only have they not been affected, but their strength has become stronger. As far as I have heard and seen, they have invaded and occupied abandoned cultivated land in recent years and recruited The trilogy, boiled salt and cast iron, all of them are full of fat. If you don’t see it with your own eyes, you can’t believe it.”

Liu Xie was not surprised at all.

Wei Gu and Fan Xian dared to rebel because of their strength.There are more than a thousand parts, and the food storage can last at least half a year, so they drifted away.

If they were not surrounded by tens of thousands of troops from the imperial court, they would never surrender easily.

Others may not be as bold as Wei Gu and Fan Xian, but their strength is not weak.

"So, the loss of household registration in Hedong is not that serious. Most of the people are still in the local area, but they just became the part of the powerful people?"

"It should be so. It's just that the prefect of the county is tolerant, and the counties are unable to check, and the exact number is unknown."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Yang Xiu regretted it, swallowed the words behind, and buried himself in the porridge.

Liu Xie glanced at him. "Why are not you talking?"

"The minister is finished." Yang Xiu said solemnly, put down the bowl, and grinned, but the smile was a little unnatural.

Liu Xie put down his chopsticks, took the cloth towel beside him, and wiped his mouth.

"Let's go when you're done talking, I still have something to do."

Chapter 228 Keeping pace with the times

Yang Xiu went out in dismay, and met Cai Yan head-on.

"What's wrong?" Cai Yan slowed down and asked in a low voice.

After listening to Yang Xiu's new poem, the emperor was in a good mood. Not only did he talk to Yang Xiu for a long time, but he even asked Yang Xiu to have dinner with him.

Why does Yang Xiu have such an expression? Is it because the dinner is too simple?

Yang Xiu spread his hands, looked helpless, cupped his hands, turned and left.

Cai Yan was puzzled, but he didn't want to ask more questions.

With this temper, Yang Xiu has calmed down a lot recently, but he is still far away from a real minister.

Entering the atrium, Liu Xie was walking in the courtyard, saw Cai Yan coming in with a book in his arms, motioned her to put it on the table, and said, "What book do you want to read today?"

"The "Biography of Scholars" in "Tai Shi Gong Shu"."

Liu Xie's heart skipped a beat.

Yesterday I read "Dang Gu Biography" in "East View of Han Ji", and today I read "Tai Shi Gong Shu" "Biography of Scholars". Cai Yan planned to let him understand the history of Confucianism in this dynasty.

"It seems that I need to assign you a few guards in the future."

Cai Yan smiled. "Thank you Your Majesty, I am ashamed to accept it. It is not a day or two for the Confucianism to change. It is just that the minister has a good chance and stands in a suitable position."

"Confucianism wants to change?" Liu Xie wondered if he heard it wrong.

"Your Majesty doesn't think that the Confucianism of today is still the Confucianism of Confucius and Mencius?"

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

It is true to say that among the hundreds of schools of thought, Confucianism is the most fickle.

There are hundreds of schools of thought, but the most influential ones are nothing more than Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, yin and yang, and immortals.

The Mohism declined in the Han Dynasty.

There are very few people who study Taoism, and they stick to Huang Lao. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was basically no innovation.

The Legalists have never been able to form a systematic learning.
