Three Kingdoms

Chapter 224 National Memorial

Cai Yong was among the hundreds of officials. When he saw Li Ru coming out of the crowd, his heart trembled. After hearing Li Ru's words about moving the capital, his whole heart sank...

Sure enough, just as Fei Qian said, with the momentum of Yingchuan's victory today, the capital will be moved!

Cai Yong couldn't help but recall what Fei Qian said in the study yesterday -

"...Although the Cai family is famous in Chenliu, they have lived in Sili for a long time and their hometown has become estranged. Now the only close relative of the sister and sister is the master. If there is a loss, how can one bear to be lonely and helpless?... And the master is loyal and well-known. , but he is not a good admonisher, so he repeatedly admonishes the king but cannot use it... Promoting and admonishing can be successful for a while, but where will the rise and fall of literature be given the heavy responsibility of the family and the country? A true gentleman cannot remonstrate without insulting his appearance, and he can bear the humiliation and bear the heavy burden. For a hero..."

Thinking of this, Cai Yong raised his head slightly and looked at the three princes in the front. He hoped that Fei Qian's guess was wrong. As long as those three princes rose up to fight, the officials would naturally follow. Dong Zhuo might be forced to do so. Due to the current situation, the matter of moving the capital may eventually come to nothing...

It is a pity that none of the three gentlemen at the front stood up.

Originally, there were not only three Sangong positions in the Han Dynasty, but a total of six.

Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong are the three permanent Dukes. However, in addition to these three Dukes, there are also Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao, who are also called the Three Dukes. The difference between Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong is that Taishi, Taifu, and Taishi are the three permanent princes. The three positions of Taifu and Taibao are mostly awarded to older officials or officials who have retired from the positions of Taiwei, Situ and Sikong. They are slightly more honorary.

However, at this time, the positions of Grand Master and Taibao had been empty for many years, and basically no one had been awarded this title. Only Dong Zhuo was granted the title of Grand Master when he entered the capital. Now, although he has changed his position to the Prime Minister, the status of Grand Master No other personnel were appointed.

So now at the Great Court Meeting, it is said that there are three princes, but in fact there are four people, Taiwei Huang Wan, Situ Yang Biao, Sikong Xunshuang and Taifu Yuan Wei...

Not only Cai Yong was watching Sangong and others, but other officials were also watching.

There is basically no difference in Fei Qian's estimate, because no matter whether it is ancient people or modern people, when facing some things, what may change is different times and different items, but the nature that is exposed has not changed since ancient times. Too big of a change.

Emotions such as greed, cowardice, anger, and arrogance have been around since the beginning of mankind, and have not diminished due to the changes of the times...

It's true that these people in Sangong are all old foxes, but old foxes also have nests.

The Yuan family's hometown is in Runan, Xun Shuang's hometown is in Yingchuan, and Huang Wan's hometown is relatively remote. In the Anlu area of ​​​​Jiangxia, only Situ Yang Biao among the three men has his hometown in Hongnong...

Hongnong County belongs to Sili and is closely connected to Henan Yin where Luoyang is located. The territory from Hangu Pass to Tongguan belongs to Hongnong County. Therefore, once the capital is moved, the counties that will bear the brunt of the greatest impact will be Henan Yin, and then Naturally, it’s Hongnong County…

What's more, Dong Zhuo not only wanted to move the capital, but also immigrated!

This simply cost Hongnong most of his life!

So when Li Ru put forward the proposal to move the capital on behalf of Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo immediately expressed his approval, the eyes of all the officials focused on the three princes, and the one who remained silent among the three princes was still Yuan Wei. Because Yuan Wei knew that if the capital was to be moved, someone would be more anxious than himself...

Sure enough, Situ Yang Biao came out of the crowd, stood beside Li Ru, and played loudly: "Guanzhong has been in ruins and scattered for a long time. Now we donate the ancestral temple and abandon the imperial mausoleum for no reason, fearing that the people will be alarmed. It is easy to move the world, but it is difficult to put it in order. I hope Prime Minister Inspection.”

"Common people?" Li Ru sneered, "Or the common people of Hongnong?"

Yang Biao turned his head and glared at Li Ru angrily, raised his eyebrows, and said loudly: "The common people in the world are the subjects of the emperor. How can we say that the common people are prosperous?"

"Good! The move of the capital to Yongjing is for the long-term development of the country. Since Hongnong is a subject of the Emperor, how dare he disobey the Emperor's will?" Li Ru was not polite and immediately slapped a big label on Yang Biao.

Seeing that Situ Yang Biao was defeated in front of Li Ru, Taiwei Huang Wan also stood up, raised his hands and said: "What Yang Situ said is true. In the past, Wang Mang usurped the rebellion and burned Chang'an until it was rubble. The land, and the migration of the people, are like nothing. It is not appropriate to abandon the palaces and go to the wasteland."

Taiwei Huang Wan's hometown was not in Sili, but Huang Wan was demoted for nearly 20 years due to the party's imprisonment. It was in the last years of Guanghe that Huang Wan regained his freedom with the recommendation of the then Taiwei Yang Ci. He was able to become an official again, and Yang Ci was Yang Biao's father, so when the Hongnong Yang family faced a catastrophe, Huang Wan had to stand up and express his attitude...

Li Ru knew that relocating the people was a huge and cruel plan, but for the sake of the overall strategy, should he still leave these people for the Kanto gentry?

Therefore, Li Ru avoided talking about it and only caught Huang Wan's words about the dilapidation of Chang'an and retorted: "In the past, Wang Mang usurped us. Huang Taiwei's words are like yesterday. Can the fire of red eyebrows still burn for two hundred years?" Moreover, Longyou is very close at hand. Even if there are some missing pieces, all the bricks, tiles, wood and stones will arrive in a blink of an eye! I never thought that Huang Taiwei would be happy to do it, and he might be able to supervise some of it."

"Hmph!" Of course Huang Wan could hear Li Ru's sarcasm, and of course he also understood the hidden threat in Li Ru's last sentence, so he snorted coldly and said nothing more. Anyway, he stood up to say something for the Yang family. This was just for the Yang family's sake...

Although Liu Xie on the throne is young, he has indeed experienced too much during this period. His originally young and optimistic mind was quickly matured by the great changes in the court. Although Liu Xie now has He was not calm at this age, but after all, he knew that moving the capital was not a good thing. Seeing that Yang Biao and Huang Wan were both silent, he turned his expectant eyes to the remaining two people, Sikong Xunshuang and Tai. On Fu Yuankai...

Yuan Wei still lowered his head, motionless like a wooden statue, seeming to have taken root in this hall.

Liu Xie tried hard to distinguish the expression of Yuan Wei hidden in the shadows, but from his perspective, he could only see Yuan Wei's high crown and no other expression. arrive……

In desperation, Liu Xie turned his attention to Sikong Xunshuang, thinking, didn't Dong Zhuo just send troops to attack Yingchuan? Are you, who was born in Yingchuan, still on Dong Zhuo's side?

Sikong Xunshuang felt the gaze of Emperor Liu Xie. He hesitated again and again, sighed slightly, stood up, and said: "...The matter of moving the capital is so big that it is difficult to decide at once. Why not discuss it later?"

Liu Xie's originally upright body suddenly collapsed...

Upon hearing this, Dong Zhuo looked at Xun Shuang, then at Yuan Wei who still had his head lowered. A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he immediately said: "Retreat!"

After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he stood up first, raised his sword and walked away...

Hua Tuo treated Guan Yu's poison. After finishing the matter, Tuo asked Liu Bei: "As the overlord of one side, what is the most important thing to you?"

Liu Bei replied: "Benevolence!"

Liu Bei asked Hua Tuo: "As a famous doctor, what is the most important thing to you?"

Hua Tuo replied: "Medical ethics!"

Zhang Fei on the side blushed with shame after hearing this, and Nuonuo said: "Didn't we agree that our affairs should be kept secret?"
