Rebirth of Guo Jiashengtong

Feng Yi, Ji Zun and others from afar led troops to attack Kui Chun, but the scholar-bureaucrats in Luoyang City began to prepare to draw up the title of Emperor Ming.

According to the usual practice, the new emperor did not change the year name in order to show respect for Emperor Guangwu when he ascended the throne.But at the beginning of the second year, the year name will be changed.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, after a bowl of hot Lantern Festival, the red lights in Luoyang City are ten miles away.In Luoyang City today, the curfew has been postponed for three hours.All the people put on new clothes, called friends and friends, and gathered to watch the lantern festival.

Guo Kuang carried the young emperor out early in the morning, and together with his wife Geng Lianyu, they led Lord Guo and the young emperor to watch the lantern festival.

Guo Shengtong, however, was in the Changqiu Palace, discussing the reign titles displayed on the table with the four assistant ministers.

"I prefer 'Yongping'," Liu Huang said. "Since the troubled times, everyone has longed for the world to be peaceful and long-lasting."

Kou Xun nodded: "I agree with Princess Huyang."

'Yongping' is really a good name. Liu Yang, no, when Liu Zhuang was emperor, he was also called Emperor Ming, and his year name was Yongping.

That's an excellent name, and it fits people's expectations: 'When you meet the Lord, you enjoy peace'.

Isn't Liu Jiang's current emperor title the same as the 'Ming' used by Liu Zhuang?

When Guo Shengtong heard that Liu Huang and Kou Xun both preferred 'Yongping', he suddenly felt a little awkward.

"Gongsun Shu of the land of Shu is not yet leveled, and Tianshui Kuichun is still struggling, so it's better to call him 'Yongsheng'!" Geng Yan said, "Only I am a big man, and I am invincible."

"Should be called God Bless!" Deng Yu said, "Young Emperor is young, God bless my Lord, God bless the man, God bless the common people."

Liu Huang was startled: "God bless you very well."

Kou Xun pondered: "God bless you very well."

"God bless you." Geng Yan said.

"I prefer Yongchang." Guo Shengtong smiled, "I only wish: the prosperity of the great man, from now on! Whether it is Kai Chun or Gongsun Shu. They are all Han people. Even if they are thieves, they are also family thieves. But outsiders The Yi people are eyeing the Huns, the Huns, the Mongols, the Jurchens, the Khitans, the Umans, and so on. Needless to say, the Huns, during the reign of Emperor Wu, used generals such as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to fight against the Huns. Unfortunately, although they won, they suffered heavy losses. In the later period, I still had to marry the daughter of the clan as a princess to the Huns. The Mongol Jurchen Khitan and other races were tough by nature, and they often violated borders, but compared with the Huns, they were not so conspicuous."

Seeing the four people thinking, Guo Shengtong said again: "In the beginning, I wanted to take back the rest of the barbarians one by one after Ping Gongsun Shu and others, but later, I suddenly remembered the saying 'born in sorrow, died in peace'. I want to defeat them, but leave a glimmer of life. There are people sleeping soundly by the side of the couch. I want to make the kings of generations not indulge in pleasure. Gongsunshu is a lesson from the past."

Seeing the shock on the faces of the four people, she said again: "Today, I might as well put it more bluntly: when Gongsun Shuchu was the emperor, he worked conscientiously. In the land he ruled, he didn't pick up relics on the road, and he didn't close the house at night. But now? Human milk feeds pigs, cannon fire Goose palms, flogging the ox spine. The people in the ruled area began to yearn for the Han Dynasty again. Why? The land of abundance, the abundance of products, is like a huge greenhouse, and Gongsun Shu has been spoiled. From my point of view, Luoyang is not the same. old."

This... this is too rebellious! ! !

Geng Yan got up immediately: "The queen mother is too alarmist! If you say something like this, don't say it, don't say it!"

"General Geng," Guo Shengtong asked him, "How are the Xiongnu, Khitan, and Wuman people compared to our Han people?"

"The barbarians of that class were born in the barren land, but their bodies are stronger." Geng Yan sneered, "It's rude, righteous and shameless! Hmph!"

"Compared to us soldiers, how is wartime?" Guo Shengtong asked, "When the child was a baby, which one was stronger or weaker than the Emperor's soldiers?"

"Of course our sergeants are stronger than Ru Ziying, and those people have never seen blood..." Geng Yan suddenly stopped, as if he had realized something, "The Yi people are also stronger than me, because he is People in the barren land, if they don't plunder, can't even survive a whole winter."

"Furthermore, the Yi people have had astonishing combat power since before the ancestors, and they are still astonishingly powerful today!" Deng Yu said excitedly, standing up.He also thought of it!

"Yes! Yes!" Kou Xun sighed several times, "I understand, I understand!"

"It's just ma'am, do you want to..." Deng Yu frowned.

"Move the capital." Guo Shengtong still knelt there, his tone calm, "Since everyone understands, please go back and think about the pros and cons of it. Most families will not agree, but this move will be of great merit."

The five years of the Zhou Dynasty 820 sounds very long. In fact, except for the first 100 years, which was relatively stable, the later period was a game of greedy snakes that gradually annexed.In the later period, the kingship existed in name only.On the contrary, Qin, the weakest state among the vassal states divided by Zhou Dynasty, suddenly emerged.After undergoing a series of self-reforms such as Shang Yang's reform to survive, he had the strength to swallow up the other vassal states.When Qin Wang won the government, he even unified the world.It's a pity that he was a good emperor, but not a good father. The eldest son was pedantic, and he believed in an unfounded imperial decree and committed suicide.

The eunuch monopolized power, and Qin went from unification to destruction, but only in a short period of 15 years.

When he arrived in Western Chu, King Xiang Yu of Chu was an upright general with a straight temper.It's a pity that the straight-tempered ones get things done quickly, and things get ruined even faster.Four years after the founding of Western Chu, the country fell.Xiang Yu slayed himself in Wujiang.

In the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang wanted to change the vassal system in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but he was still powerless. He thought of a way to get rid of the kings with different surnames.However, when the prince was entrusted, he still gave the fief and divided the territory.

However, the demise of the Western Han Dynasty was not due to the princes, but to the relatives.

When the emperor's ability is strong, the relatives are a kind of standing, but the emperor's ability is weak, especially the later emperors are better than the inner boudoir, the hands of women.As a result, the emperor became the puppet of his relatives.

Therefore, when Liu Xiu felt that he was going to be seriously ill, he had the same idea as Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, and wanted to kill Liu Jiang's mother to avoid the repeat of Lu Zhi's story.

It's a pity that Guo Shengtong is not Mrs. Gouge.The Guo family doesn't want to be Dou's either.

Guo Kuang took the initiative to swear in front of the world: The Guo family will not step into political career. As the mother's family of the queen mother, this move of the Guo family will undoubtedly set a good example for the queen's mother family in the future.If you take precautions, you can worry about the difficulties of your relatives.

It's just eunuchs, but it's still a big problem.Guo Shengtong thought of many ways, and finally found that if he wanted to sit back and relax, the root of the problem was actually the emperor.

If the emperor is strong, everything can be a stone under his feet, allowing him to stand taller.But if it is weak, even the immortals cannot save it.

She thought about this for a long time, and finally came up with a method that could barely be regarded as cultivating an emperor.Moving the capital is just the first step.

In fact, she revealed this intention at this time, but she just wanted to drag these four people onto her boat.

After a long time, Geng Yan's expression was complicated: "Your Majesty actually talked about it for a long time, it was just a conjecture, if you do such a bold thing just for a conjecture, I'm afraid, people in the world will not accept it!"

"A lot of things are just guesses before they are done," Guo Sheng said, "For example, General Geng, before a battle, you have to figure out how to attack with the greatest chance of winning, but whether the odds are big or small, it's just a guess. .Every battle is a game, and I want to play a game now. If I win, it may last forever. If I lose, if I lose, the northern barbarians will attack, and I will be on the chopping block. Generals, isn’t it scary?”

"Where does the empress want to move the capital?" Deng Yu was taken aback suddenly, "The barbarians in the north have a harsh environment. Could it be... Could it be Jicheng? Isn't that rushing to send meat to the Xianbei, Huns and Turks?"

"It's too radical!" Kou Xun also shook his head.

Guo Shengtong was not in a hurry, she thought about Jicheng, and a smile appeared on her face: Jicheng, the capital of Yan Kingdom.It's a pity that Yan Guoqi missed a move and lost to Qin Guo.It was later named You.

Later, the Mongols invaded the pass, set their capital at Jicheng, and renamed it Shangdu.After the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was established.Zhu Di, king of Yan in the Ming Dynasty, moved his capital from Nanjing to Jicheng after he won the throne, and renamed it Beijing, establishing a political structure for 600 years.All subsequent dynasties used Beijing as their capital.

As for Guo Shengtong, there was another most important reason for choosing Jicheng: to transfer the center of power to the north after being far away from the richness of the southern land.Only then can she rely on the support of more northern clans to complete her more shocking ideas behind her.

"Who is the meat on the anvil, it just depends on who is stronger." Guo Shengtong smiled lightly, "Is there any truth to what I said, you can go back and think about it slowly."

"But..." Geng Yan wanted to speak, but Liu Huang coughed.

Liu Huang looked at them with some puzzlement: "What are you talking about? Aren't we dating? Why is it the Huns and the meat on the anvil?"

Liu Huang was indeed a little dizzy, but she spoke now because it seemed that Geng Yan and the three of them were scolding Guo Shengtong.Although she didn't understand how the year name could be stretched so far, she still felt that she should support her younger siblings: "The queen mother said, go back and think about the pros and cons of whether to move the capital. Will the dynasty announce the year name tomorrow?"

"Princess Huyang," Deng Yu asked, "If you really want to move the capital, are you willing to go to Jicheng?"

Liu Huang hesitated for a moment, and she said, "I want to follow Your Majesty, follow Fu'er and Yi'er. However, if one day I go, I'm still willing to go back to Nanyang. Stay with my brothers and sisters." The queen mother is Jiang'er's mother, she will not harm him, although I don't understand many political things, but I know that my mother will not harm her own children."

Who can say that Liu Huang is not smart?She can't understand those twists and turns, but she understands that people's feelings must be true.Although she didn't understand the necessity and significance of moving the capital, she knew that if she was alive, she would follow the child.If you die, it will not be too late for your soul to return to your hometown.Life and death, what choice, what choice, she never hesitated.

Geng Yan and the others fell into deep thought for a moment.In fact, Liu Xiu is very good at choosing people.The ministers he chose to support each other restrained each other, but one thing was the most important: Although they were born in the clan, they loved this big man and hoped that it would live in peace for a long time.

Therefore, after a complete silence, Deng Yu said, "I think 'Yongchang' is very good."

"I also think 'Yongchang' is very good." Liu Huang followed closely, "Forever prosperous, Xinrong. Queen Mother, you said that you hope that the prosperity and prosperity of Dahan will start from Jianger. I am very excited to hear that. This meaning is very good, very good!"

Geng Yan and Kou Xun looked at each other and did not speak.

They also need to think about it. Although Guo Shengtong's move of the capital was not very urgent, they are unwilling to make any statement at this time.

"If General Geng and Lord Kou have no meaning, let's announce it tomorrow." Guo Shengdao said, "In addition, after the first month, the young emperor will go out to fight with me to avenge his father's hatred, flatten Kaichun, and destroy Gongsun. General Geng Yan is the main general, and Generals Feng Yi and Wu Han are the deputy generals. The three generals can discuss who they need to bring and report to me. General Deng Yu is accompanied by the emperor's guard. The battlefield is a place of bloodshed, you have to warn them , if there is a chance, I hope General Geng Yan will create an opportunity for them to show their talents. But the priority is to protect their lives."

"Young Emperor is young, Queen Mother, please think twice..." Deng Yu and others said in unison.

Even Liu Huang showed hesitation on his face: "Queen Mother, this seems inappropriate. Swords have no eyes!"

"He is the son of the emperor, the son of the Great Khan," Guo Sheng said. "As a son of man, it is only right to avenge his father. As a son of heaven, it is only right and proper to lead an army to fight. What's wrong? He is only two years old, but I have long been responsible for the responsibility of the family, the country, and the world. Why can't I be?"

too crazy!

These few people only felt that after tonight, they must live a few years less.Why is this queen so crazy? !

Throughout the dynasties and dynasties.Which queen mother would propose to move the capital out of a conjecture?Which empress dowager would ask the two-year-old emperor to drive her into battle?This is really crazy!

"I want to go to the Fengwei Army tomorrow to select fifty female soldiers and hand them over to General Geng Chun to take them away. I want to entrust my elder sister with full authority over the affairs of the palace." Guo Sheng said, "I want to entrust Kou Xun with full authority over the court affairs. , Chen Jun, two adults."

She is not afraid, in Luoyang City, there are her brothers and mother, as well as the five brothers of the Geng family, they are in-laws!

As for the palace, Liu Huang is brave and has status, and Kui Nu is resourceful and witty.The previous few times are enough to prove: all right!

----

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty ordered the world to change the year name to Yongchang.

February [-]st of the first year of Yongchang.The east gate of Luoyang City.

Guo Shengtong, dressed in military uniform, held the young emperor in his arms, and took the wine from Liu Huang.

In front of her was Liu Xiu who couldn't speak or move sitting on a rolling wooden cart.Liu Xiuqi blew his beard and stared, but unfortunately, others thought he was seeing them off with righteous indignation.

Behind them are 21 family members dressed in military uniforms and holding short guns.Afterwards, there were fifty heroic female generals in military uniform under Dou Dafeng's banner, and after that, the sons and daughters of the big man.

Their hands are full of fine wine.

Surrounded by civil and military officials who saw him off, people from aristocratic families and the people of Luoyang City.Most people here looked at them with great admiration, but there were also a few who were very worried, such as Master Guo, relatives of those aristocratic families, and a few old masters who were particularly angry.

"Boys, raise your wine glass with me!" Guo Shengtong hugged the young emperor in military uniform with one hand, and raised the pottery bowl over his head with the other.

"No!" With a roar, everyone raised their pottery bowls.

"Drink the wine in this cup with me." After Guo Shengtong said, he chose to use 'Wind Shadow'.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a crisp phoenix chant, and everyone looked up, only to see a phoenix rising from her body into the sky.It danced around her endlessly.

"God bless me!" Guo Kuang yelled and fell to his knees first. "The Empress Dowager is the reincarnation of the phoenix, God blesses me, I will win this battle!"

As soon as the voice fell, there were shouts one after another: "The big man will win!"

Even Sergeant Erlang bent down and fell to his knees.

The phoenix is ​​still flying, lingering, so majestic, so amazing.

"Boys, drink all the wine in the bowl with me!" Guo Shengtong shouted.

Then she drank the wine in the pottery bowl, 'kuang' she broke the pottery bowl.

Just when she was about to turn around, she heard Liu Jiang in her arms gently tug on her skirt: "Mother, I will win!"

The official historian was writing furiously. Hearing what the young emperor said, he paused, and then recorded even more frantically.

After hearing this, Liu Huang couldn't help cheering: "Your Majesty said that this battle must be won!"

Sitting on the rolling cart, watching and listening to all this, Liu Xiu had a strange look in his eyes. Unfortunately, no one would care about what he was thinking and what he wanted to do.

"Your Majesty said that this battle must be won!" The prince's guards cheered.

"Your Majesty said that this battle must be won!" This was the cheer of the Fengwei army.

Such cheers swept away layer by layer, and Luoyang City seemed to be alive in an instant, and everyone was rushing to tell each other: "Your Majesty said, we must win!" '

Guo Shengtong couldn't hide her excitement. She looked at Liu Jiang in her arms, dragged him up, and then stood up alone, turning over and jumping on the horse's back.The phantom of the phoenix still surrounds her and refuses to leave: "Boys! Come with me!"

With the sound of horseshoes, everyone parted ways, and the emperor's guards got on their horses with the help of Geng Chun and Deng Yu: "I would like to go with the Queen Mother and Your Majesty!"
