Chapter 124 Welcome to the Son of Heaven
Luoyang.
It was already autumn, and Luoyang City, which was reorganized on the original ruins, was full of vitality in the depression.
When Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, he burned Luoyang with fire, causing the extremely glorious Han emperor to make ruins. When Cao Mengde ordered Xiahou Yuan to occupy Luoyang, he spent a lot of effort to gradually clean up the broken giant city.
And with Cao Mengde's various decrees, this giant city in the ruins gradually regained its popularity.
Now, over a few years have passed, Luoyang has a trace of prosperity. The entire Henan Yin, led by Luoyang, has gradually been healed by the huge trauma caused by war in the past.
Cao Mengde appointed Zao as the Luoyang Order to manage Luoyang's government affairs. Zao was only good at governing the people and farmers, and has done a lot of results in recent years.
"The palaces have been made into earth... Looking back on the past, I feel so sad."
Xun Yu and Zao rode their horses in parallel on the street. Seeing the sparse crowd, they sighed in their hearts.
Zaozi smiled and said, "Yao has survived and died, and the heavens have always been moved. If you don't see the ancient Haojing, will you sing in the morning?"
Xun Yu smiled and nodded: "Brother Zao Chuan is right..."
He sighed and nostalgic: "The Han Dynasty has finally come to an end for four hundred years."
The dates were silent.
Xun Yu smiled bitterly and said, "It's still me who claims to be a Han minister, I will end it with my own hands..."
Zao opened his mouth and couldn't help but say, "The three ancient dynasties were so sacred, but they were also ancient. Xia, Shang, Zhou, and Zhou, so enviable, but they were also ancient. Emperor Long Shi, the ancestor swept through the eight deserts and set up the six tribes, but they were also dead in the second generation? The word "Han" was imprinted in the Xia, and the achievements of Liu's family are remembered for generations. However, the deceased is the result of the heaven's actions, so there is no need to be nostalgic. The lord is very talented and strategic, and with the help of the immortals, he will surely create a prosperous era that has never been before and after. Xun, you and I should look forward and encourage each other."
Xun Yu's sad look flashed and he just nodded.
Then I asked my left and right: "Go outside the city and see where the emperor's carriage has been."
The left and right servants quickly rode the horse away.
When the group arrived at the city gate, they came to report: "The emperor's imperial carriage has arrived ten miles away."
Xun Yu and Zao only looked at each other: "Go quickly to welcome me!"
A wide and flat cement road stretches for ten miles, and there is a long pavilion. The emperor's imperial carriage stays here, either for rest or for the dignity of the emperor. When the emperor arrives, he will welcome him with great gifts.
At this time, the young emperor was walking back and forth in the pavilion, looking quite uneasy.
After walking a few laps, he couldn't help but ask Jia Xu beside him: "Mr. Wenhe, do you think Cao Mengde will accept me?"
Jia Xu clenched his beard and smiled: "Your Majesty has asked him more than a hundred times. Your Majesty is the emperor and the emperor is the destiny of heaven. Cao Gong is a Han minister, how dare you not accept it?"
Jia Xu also said this a hundred times.
Jia Xu looked down on this little emperor. He was not as cunning as the emperor. He often thought about it and had no idea what he had to do. It turned out that the Han Dynasty was about to perish.
However, although Fu Fei was a woman, she was much better.
At this moment, a Yulin guard came to report: "The chief of Cao Gong's tent, Xun Yu, and the commander of Luoyang Zao, lead the crowd to welcome the emperor!"
Emperor Liu Xie quickly calmed down his spirits, sat on the imperial throne, and said to Jia Xu: "I'll bother Mr. Wenhe."
Jia Xu nodded and walked out of the long pavilion. After a while, he led Xun Yu and Zao into the pavilion.
When the two saw the emperor, they bowed and said, "You will see the emperor, and the emperor will be in peace!"
Emperor Liu Xie squeezed out a smile: "Hurry up and settle down, and give him a seat."
During the Han Dynasty, the emperor sat with the ministers to discuss the Tao. Unless there was no kneeling ceremony when ceremonies such as worshiping heaven and earth, there was no bowing ceremony, but just worshiping ceremony.
The two of them knelt down and faced the emperor.
The emperor said, "I don't know where Cao Qing is?"
When Xun Yu heard this, he looked at Zao only at once. Xun Yu said, "Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Yao, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou all have the intention of being disobedient. Now there are wars everywhere, and Cao Gong is busy with military affairs, so he has never come."
Liu Xie was really unhappy and had a slight annoyance on his face. He finally suppressed his feelings and said, "So that's it. I have the capital of Luoyang. Have the palaces and palaces been cleaned up?"
Cao Mengde's current political center is in Puyang, so Liu Xie certainly knew that it was. But he really didn't want to rely on others anymore, so he was worried about not going to Puyang, but wanted to regain capital Luoyang.
How could Xun Yu and Zao not know what the words mean?
Xun Yu sighed slightly, thinking of Cao Mengde's advice, so he said, "Please take your Majesty back."
When the emperor heard this, his heart trembled slightly and said in a trembling voice: "Is Cao Mengde killing me more?!"
Suddenly, there was no sound.
Xun Yu looked at the emperor with great disappointment and said heavily: "Please hold your Majesty back!"
Jia Xu sighed slightly, waved his hands from left to right, and took all the servants, leaving the Changting in the helpless eyes of the emperor.
So only the emperor was left.
Xun Yu stood up and bowed and bowed: "Since the emperor is so cowardly, it really disappoints the ministers!"
The emperor opened his mouth and his face turned pale.
Xun Yu took a heavy breath and said, "I came here to bring a message to Mr. Cao! Please listen to your Majesty!"
"Mr. Cao said: Before the emperor abdicates, he should respect the emperor's honor and dare not neglect. However, the emperor only lives in the palace and cannot leave the capital well, and shall not contact the court officials and generals in private. Cao will take care of all military and political affairs by himself, so don't worry the emperor."
After Xun Yu said this, he ignored the emperor's face and said, "This is the intention of the immortal family. If the emperor does not follow, he should ask him."
Then he walked away with a whisper, and a voice came from outside the pavilion: "Get up quickly and enter the city!"
......
In late autumn, war is in full swing.
Cao Mengde welcomed the emperor to Luoyang and immediately touched the nerves of all the princes. The surrounding princes finally responded and raised their troops to fight back. Therefore, the war was even worse than before. However, Cao Mengde had all kinds of tricks and resisted one by one. Not only did he quickly smash the offensives of the princes from all sides, but he achieved considerable results.
If Cao Mengde had not yet completely digested the states under his control, he felt that his foundation was insufficient, and he might not have been destroyed this time.
But even so, Cao Mengde occupied half of Qingzhou on the northern battlefield. Zhang Liao defeated Zhu Ling first, defeated Yan Liang who was attacking, and pushed the front north to the central part of Qingzhou, bordering Gongsun Zan. He went westward and entered Jizhou, leaving Yuan Shao as if he was on the back.
Guanzhong, Henei, Hedong, all of them were in Cao Mengde's bag. Sun Ce and Lu Bu had already joined forces and were attacking Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang.
As for Jingzhou, Cao Ren broke Fancheng and confronted Xiangcheng across the Han River.
The so-called Xiangyang is actually two cities divided into two by the Han River, or it can be called Xiangfan. Fan City is north of the Han River and Xiangyang is south of the Han River. Because Cao Ren's troops did not have a naval army, they could only occupy Fan City and could not cross the river.
As for Jiangdong, Yuan Shu and Liu Yao barely joined forces, they were not united. Xiahou Dun seized the opportunity and used the strategy of fighting against the west to cross the river, occupied Niuzhu, and seized the springboard for advancing to Jiangdong.
All these things are very good.
