Chapter 400 There is a way for you to destroy Zhao Xing
Since the Han Dynasty, in addition to Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang who was granted seven kings of different surnames, until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao used the emperor to proclaim himself King of Wei. Piaotianwen.com ()
At that time, Liu Bang competed with Xiang Yu for the world. In order to win people's hearts, he conferred the titles of King Han Xin of Chu, King Zhang Ao of Zhao, King Peng Yue of Liang, King Yingbu of Huainan and others. However, in the hands of Liu Bang and Empress Lu, six of the seven opposite sexes who were granted the throne eventually rebelled and died, fled far away from the desert, exiled to the remote, or demoted to the marquis. Only King Wu Rui of Changsha was spared because he was little and weak in power and was loyal to the Han Dynasty. Since then, he has no king's surname. There is a saying that "finding a marquis thousands of miles away", and the biggest dream of the generals is to confer a marquis of ten thousand households.
During the reign of Emperor Jing of Han, seven kings of the same surname who were in power and conferred the rebellion, and were wiped out one by one. From then on, the central territory became larger and larger, and the territory of the princes and grandchildren who were named kings became smaller and smaller. By the end of the Han Dynasty, many vassal states, such as Le'an, Dongping, Hejian, Zhongshan, etc., had only a county area, and some did not even have a county. Even so, in this kingdom, the kings of Liu surnamed did not do whatever they wanted, because there were ministers in these countries, responsible for monitoring the kings' every move.
I have been talking so much, and I want to say that the King of Jin, Liu Rong, who was preparing to support Zhao Xing, has a bit too wide territory, a bit too large population, a bit too strong strength, and a bit too large power.
Given the above-mentioned "four problems", the three dukes and nine ministers and civil officials and military generals in the Luoyang court almost quarreled, and there was no result after a long debate.
Lu Zhi, who had already returned to the court, was sick and did not go to court, and hid in the Taiwei Mansion all day long and didn't know what to think about. Lu Zhi hid in the mansion, but actually didn't want to express his attitude. He led so many coalition forces to attack Zhao Xing, but in the end he was in a fruitless situation. But he was also very clear that this battle could not be continued, otherwise if one Zhao Xing was destroyed, there would be several more Cao Xing, Yuan Xing, and Dong Xing. Moreover, even if the battle continued, it might not be possible to really destroy Zhao Xing.
Although he did not disobey the emperor's orders and withdrew his troops very simply, it did not mean that he had accused Zhao Xing's rise and rebellion, so he was unwilling to let the court sign the third prince Liu Rong as King of Jin. Zhao Xing's willingness to support King of Jin was just "Zhao Guochang's heart is known to everyone". As long as anyone with a political vision, anyone can see that Zhao Xing was just erecting a shield to let a child Liu Rong be a puppet, which will make him more unscrupulous in Bingzhou.
Although he was so unwilling to be granted by Liu Rong, Lu Zhi could not say this in person, otherwise several other factions in the court would immediately unite to attack him. Since Lu Zhi did not agree with Liu Rong's enthronement, then destroy Zhao Xing, who was in trouble!
Zhao Xing's attitude was very firm and his expression was clear. If the court did not grant Liu Rong the king, Bingzhou would support Liu Rong as the emperor, directly confront the Han Dynasty, and then embarked on the road of **. Regardless of whether Bingzhou could win in the end, it seems that Bingzhou is not afraid of the imperial court's attack. If several northern states responded to the call of the fake emperor and turned to Bingzhou, there might be some chaos in the future. In this time of making a living by relying on strength, the people could only regard those with big fists as the boss, so they would not care about which prince and grandson named Liu were in the world.
Liu Bian clearly told the ministers in the court about Zhao Xing's attitude and meaning. He actually expressed his attitude, that is, he was preparing to make peace with Bingzhou. Although this was a very shameless thing, at least in name, King Liu Rong of Jin was his own younger brother, and the emperor's brother divided a large piece of land for his good brothers, which fully demonstrated Liu Bian's generosity and magnanimity.
Yuan Wei, Wang Yun, Zhang Wen, He Jin, He Miao and others who were firmly opposed to the title of kings were finally defeated in the debate. The reason was very simple. The emperor who really couldn't stand their noisyness threw out a hot potato. Since you are so loyal to the king and the country, and firmly oppose the feudal Bingzhou, which should be directly controlled by the central court, then you can remove Zhao Xing, the evil thief entrenched in Bingzhou for me! Of course, the Central Army cannot go any further. The casualties are too great and need to rest. You can raise your own troops and join forces with the forces of the state to launch a second battle against Zhao, but you can only win but not lose, otherwise you will rebel against Zhao Xing. You can do it yourself...
No one dared to take this hot potato thrown out by the emperor. What a joke, Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun gathered a 480,000 army. Later, the Xianbei in the north and Zhang Yan in the east came to Bingzhou to help, but he did not destroy Zhao Xing. You can deal with Zhao Xing with just one mouth? Just stay in Luoyang honestly. If you have the will, you can destroy Zhao Xing, don’t hold me back anyway!
There was gradually no opposition in the court, but a new question came again. Let Liu Rong rushed to Luoyang to accept the feudal? Forget it! Even though Zhao Xing knew that Zhao Xing would not let Liu Rong leave Bingzhou, why bother to make things boring? Since Liu Rong did not come, the court would only send people there.
To enfeoff the King of Jin, the emperor needed to send special envoys openly to Bingzhou with items specially made by the imperial court, such as edicts and seals specially made by the court, and presided over the enfeoffment ceremony. This was not only a declaration of imperial power, but also a pacifying the restlessness of the Bingzhou. But now everyone is afraid of Zhao Xing as a tiger, and no one dares to go to stroke the tiger's beard. The original special envoy of the imperial edict has become a chore that no one cares about.
The emperor sat high on the dragon throne, looked left and right, and found that the ministers all looked down with their eyes, bent down and looked blank, and they knew the thoughts of these old guys. Just when the emperor was in a dilemma, Wang Yun stood up and said loudly: "I am willing to follow the emperor's edict and go to Bingzhou!"
Liu Bin was very moved when he heard this and quickly said, "Wang Situ is loyal to the king and the country, diligent and loyal, and is really the humerus of the great man!"
The people in the court who were silent just now immediately followed the emperor's praise and poured ** soup to Wang Yun. The expression and tone seemed to be confessing: Wang Yun, look at your friend! If you don't even rob a fat man with such a good person, you should express your feelings when you come back from Bingzhou. I heard that your son-in-law is so fat.
After despising the group of worms in his heart, Wang Yun thanked the emperor for his encouragement and left the court alone. What he needs to do now is to wait for the court to prepare the things needed for the ban, arrange the guards who will go to Bingzhou to follow him, and then they can set off to head north.
When Wang Yun thought of his cheap son-in-law, he felt very mixed feelings. To say that Zhao Xing was really good to him, even if Wang Yun was secretly hindering his son-in-law in the court, over the years, the Wang family's residence has received a lot of funding and benefits from Bingzhou. Even the tribesmen of the Wang family's hometown in Bingzhou have been taken care of by Zhao Xing, and these many lives have not been wronged.
No one is ruthless? Wang Yun is not a treacherous minister who only wants to play with power and tricks. He is just because he has different political ambitions and ideas, and it does not mean that he hates Zhao Xing so much. If other forces rise in Bingzhou, Wang Yun will do his best to suggest to the court to eradicate it as soon as possible. This strange idea has become the reason for Wang Yun's conflict and entanglement.
