Chapter 327 Outrageous
"How great would it be if Your Majesty could cry sincerely at Liu Bosheng's funeral."
At the end of October, Li Tong and Li Diyuan, who returned home after a day of condolences, was so emotional.
As the first hero to rise up and fight against the rebellion, although the Li family in Wancheng was almost exterminated by the Xin Dynasty in the early stage, they also gained a lot in the Green Han regime: Li Tong was the general and the king of Xiping; Li Yi was the general of the Five Powers and the king of Wuyin; Li Song, also a clan brother of the Li family, was appointed as prime minister.
Liu Xuan's move is good. These high-ranking officials made the Li family turn to Emperor Gengshi, and did not support Liu Bosheng's brothers. However, Li Tong was thinking about the old relationship and after his wife was lost under the butcher knife in the new dynasty, he continued to marry Liu Xiu's younger sister.
He regarded his family as the viscose between Liu Xiu's brothers. When Gengshi did not kill Liu Bosheng and sent him into the pass, Li Tong made great efforts.
Now he has achieved the result: Bo Sheng died in the Wei River in battle, and the Green Han’s plan to enter the pass failed.
However, when Deng Chen, Yin Shi came back with the bad news, in front of all civil and military officials, Li Tong clearly saw Liu Xuan wearing an imperial crown on his head, and the moment he learned the news, he almost couldn't help laughing!
Logically speaking, the emperor was deeply in mind and should train and control his emotions and emotions strictly. He would never laugh in such occasions - unless he couldn't help it.
Although Liu Xuan immediately covered his face with his sleeve and "cried", the joy could not be hidden.
Both the government and the public knew that Gengshi was afraid of Liu Bosheng, so it would be fine if he could not adapt to the situation. But since Li Tong and others persuaded him to hold a funeral for Liu Bosheng and wanted to unite the monarch and ministers, he would do his best.
However, although Liu Xuan was dressed in mourning clothes that day, he came to kill Shuai with his younger brother, but when he cried, he still howled. His acting skills were too poor, even Li Tong felt embarrassed.
This reminded him of an old story about the former man.
"The Changyi King Liu He was invited by Huo Guang to the court to preside over the funeral for Xiao Zhao, which was equivalent to asking him to be the emperor. However, when Liu He was about to arrive in the capital, he should cry according to the etiquette system, he actually claimed that his throat was sore and he could not cry. When he arrived at the mourning hall, he just howled, which became a major evidence of Huo Guang's abolishing him."
His own Emperor Gengshi has the same effect as Liu He.
If it were just this, it would be fine, and even more outrageously still comes later. Liu Xuan was cautious when he promoted Liu Bo to his posthumous title. While insisting on giving him a rare double posthumous title that Huo Qubing and Huo Guang and others had to show respect. However, after consulting Confucian scholars when he decided to posthumous titles, he personally chose "Feng Yizhuang Wang Miao"...
According to the posthumous law, in the meaning of the word Zhuang, whether it is to die in the wilderness, defeat the enemy and overcome the chaos, be brave, practice repeated expeditions, fail to succeed in martial arts, and be strong in martial arts, it is very consistent with Liu Bosheng's life, and it is indeed good.
But the word Miao in the latter part is meaningful! Several kings who received this posthumous title from the former Han Dynasty, such as King Miao of Guangchuan, King Miao of Pinggan, and King Miao of Changsha, were not good things, or were wild Hu Wei, or were perverts who liked to kill slaves with swords.
"This is a bad posthumous posthumous name. Does Your Majesty refer to Liu Bo's promotion of his name and real success, or is he hurting others and concealing his wise men?"
The name and reality are a mockery of Liu Bosheng as a hero in the world but defeated by the fifth child. He died and was injured and concealed by others. It always makes people feel that Liu Xuan still hates Liu Bosheng for opposing himself as emperor!
These subtle Spring and Autumn styles are definitely not something that the coaches of Green Forest can do. How can the big guys understand this? It is Liu Xuan's own decision.
But others don't understand. Liu Bosheng's old Yin Shi, Deng Chen and others were either disciples of the Imperial College or gentlemen. How could they not know? Yin Shi sighed secretly and told himself that their Yin family had done their best toward Liu; while Deng Chen was indignant and dared not speak out.
Liu Xuan was not polite to Liu Bosheng's old subordinates. He accompanied Liu Bosheng in Guanzhong and did many usurpations. How could he let go easily? Where is the dignity of the emperor?
So he followed the wishes of the Lulin Qu generals and removed Deng Chen from his post as Jiuqing and replaced his nephew Deng Feng. He also abolished the title of "King of Wuyang" who violated the imperial edict and sent troops to support Liu Bosheng, and ordered him to hand over the Hongnong Defense Zone to the Wuyin King Li Yi, whom Liu Xuan trusted, and came back to apologize!
As for Li Tong carefully proposed: "When Liu Xiu is recalled, he will be awarded the title of king of his brother."
Liu Xuan was quite dissatisfied and said that Liu Xiu was ordered to go on a mission to Chimei, but he actually ran to Liang and disappeared. Who knew if he was fleeing for fear of crime? He refused to allow Liu Bosheng's son to inherit it.
After one operation, Deng Chen and Bo Sheng's old subordinates were quite disappointed, and Li Tong shook his head. They, the emperor, should you say he is stupid, and they can also make some cleverness of "killing people with a sword" from time to time, but they succeeded.
You said he was wise, but he didn't take advantage of the great opportunity of the Liu family in Chongling and even the entire Nanyang, the Green Forest forces, and insisted on making the little tricks that could not be placed on the table to vent their anger, but delayed the big thing.
"I have small wisdom but not great wisdom, and I have short-sighted eyes."
Liu Xuan is like a musician. He can make up for the numbers, but when he is a soloist as the "Son of Heaven", what he does is always outrageous.
A true mediocre lord. If he was in a peaceful world, he might be able to be a successful monarch, but in this world of great struggles, he could still be abolished?
But the Lulin Qu Shuai likes such people, and he is very willing to take their robbery. Wang Mang died in the old forest in Hanzhong for less than three months, and the princes were established together. The military discipline of some of the Green Forest Army was almost in line with the former kingly army of the new dynasty!
With Liu Bosheng's death and the internal separatist crisis disappeared invisibly, a question was also placed before the Gengshi regime: Will the capital be moved?
Liu Bosheng's old subordinates and surrendered officials who had served as officials in the new dynasty hoped that Gengshi would be able to enter Guanzhong.
Even though Deng Chen was indignant at Liu Xuan, he still remembered Bosheng's last words that "I would rather give him a slave than a traitor" before his death, and still expressed his views: "Your Majesty was born in Jingchu, and his power was not implemented, and once he established a title, the Wulun and other heroes of Guanxi fought to expel Wang Mang, and some stole the capital, respected himself as the King of Wei, or occupied Longyou, and respected the former Han prince Ying usurped the title of the emperor."
"The book "Qi Xiaobai entered Qi" is not called a marquis, but it has not been called a marquis before the temple. Now the fifth reunion has defeated Liu Bosheng. If he is allowed to calmly collect Weinan and block Wuguan, the power of the powerful Qin Dynasty in the past will be completed. Even if His Majesty is lying in Wancheng, he will have to worry about every move of the fifth reunion in the northwest. How can he rest assured?"
However, Liu Xuan thought that this statement was intended to use his own strategy of "borrowing a sword to kill people", and asked the main force of the Green Forest to join the fifth reunion. Deng's family had a conspiracy with Liu Xiu, who was missing, which instead increased the punishment for Deng Chen and the Marquis was also cut off.
There is another bigger question. Even Liu Bosheng, the Green Man's best-killing, failed in Guanzhong. Who can I send to conquer to win the fifth relationship?
The Green Forest Que coaches looked at each other. They were still serious about the mountain ideology and wanted to preserve their strength. No one was willing to chew tough problems. They all said: "I heard that Guanzhong and Chang'an have been robbed by the fifth ethics, and the Shanglin Palace was also distributed to the powerful Weinan by Liu Bosheng. It is not profitable to enter the pass. As for the Gao Temple... the Gao Temple in the capital was burned? Let's build another one in Luoyang."
That's right, the Green Forest Qu coach advocated moving the capital to Luoyang. They were born into robbers and were tired of Wancheng and were very interested in the "world" that was said to be as wealthy as Chang'an.
But Li Tong and other major surnames in Nanyang objected, with a very good reason: "Your Majesty, Luoyang is not safe!"
"At that time, Han Gao had destroyed Xiang Yu, and the ministers on both sides were from Shandong. Most of them advised the capital of Luoyang to say, "There is Chenggao in the east of Luoyang and the turret in the west, which is backing the river and facing Yique, which is also worthy of relying on."
"However, Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Liu, said that although Luoyang has such solidity, it is small, only a few hundred miles, with thin fields and enemies on all sides. This is not a country that uses force."
"Han Gao has already decided that the world is still like this, not to mention that there are still people in Guandong who do not obey the king's orders!"
Li Tong pointed to the east and said, "Although King Liu Yong of Liang accepted the title, he refused to let His Majesty's 2,000 stones enter the county. This man colluded with Dong Xian, another Red Eyebrow division. The two occupied Liang, Dingtao, Shanyang, and Pei, and are now heading to Lu, East China Sea to advance troops and separating the East, with great ambitions."
What's even more deadly is the Red Eyebrow Army, which occupied Huaibei and fed the land of Huaiyang. Hundreds of thousands of bandits should not be underestimated. Liu Xuan must have a clear letter to whether to start a war or recruit a peacekeeper.
"There are 600 miles from Huaiyang to Luoyang, and the Red Eyebrow can reach in ten days; the Liang land reaches 700 miles from Luoyang, and there is even more gap, but I am afraid it is faster than the Red Eyebrow."
"In addition, it is separated from Luoyang by the river, which is occupied by Ma Yuan under the fifth reunion. Although Your Majesty is willing to visit the front line in person, he must be wary of those who control the big river ships and make every effort to attack Luoyang!"
These words have already wiped out half of Liu Xuan's thoughts, who is so angry that he wants to go to Luoyang to see the fun.
Li Tong continued to make a comment: "What's more, the south is not necessarily peaceful."
"Although Runan usurped the thief, he was destroyed, but in the southeast, there were two thousand stones of Xinmang Li Xian. He started his career by attacking the thieves on the river. He relied on his more than 10,000 armored soldiers in his hand, but he dared not to issue an edict to offer earth, and called himself the "King of Huainan", and appointed generals and invaded counties. He occupied the three counties of Lujiang, Lu'an and Jiujiang."
"In the south, Jiangxia, the Nanjun, where Green Forest started, was now occupied by Qin Feng and Tian Rong. Although they accepted the title of county magistrate and general, they also refused to enter the Jingzhou Governor appointed by His Majesty, so that counties such as Changsha in the south of the Yangtze River could only raise the Han flag from afar, but it was actually difficult to communicate."
"Once the capital of Luoyang is moved, the south will have no time to take care of it. It will also make it more difficult to get to the southern counties. Changsha and Lingling are the place where the Liu family of Chongling started. How can Your Majesty ignore it? If you want to capital Luoyang first and give up the south, you will not know the roots and fight for the end."
Although Li Tong was worried that after Liu Xuan went north and Nanyang would be hit by another military disaster, he would cause damage to these big surnames in Wan, but every sentence was indeed reasonable.
That's right, the Liu family of Chongling originated in the south. Their ancestor was the son of Emperor Jing of Han, King Ding of Changsha. With the "Encourage Order", he was enfeoffed to Chongling in Lingdao County, Lingling County, where the wild birds do not shit, so this family was found. It was not until the reign of Emperor Yuan of Han that because Chongling was too bitter, the Marquis of Chongling was crying and begging that he moved to Baishui Township, Nanjun, which was only more than 60 years ago.
Some old people in the tribe, such as Liu Liang, were thinking of returning to Changsha, Lingling sacrificed blood to the ancestors, and told them that the descendants of Chongling became the Emperor of Han!
The high temple in Chang'an has not been visited, so the ancestors of Changsha and Chongling cannot be pulled down.
Under Li Tong's persuasion, Liu Xuan finally dispelled the plan to move the capital and continued to stay in Wancheng first, stabilize the precarious rear, and at the same time strengthened control over Kanto, and went to the north to fight with the fifth relationship. It would not be too late for the Northern Han to compete for the world.
But after calming down and looking carefully, there were too many hidden dangers that the Green Man needed to deal with. Liu Xuan couldn't help but ask: "Who should King Xiping think that the party should be dealt with first now?"
"King Liang is not in a hurry. Li Xian and Tian Rong in the south and Qin Feng have to deal with it, but it is not imminent."
"The most important thing is Red Eyebrow!" Li Tong expressed the concerns of the Nanyang great surnames. He heard that Red Eyebrow is different from Green Forest and is still in a state of bandits. He specializes in killing the rich, and they must be solved before they can rest.
Li Tong expressed his bold idea: "If the Red Eyebrow can be used by me and guided it to attack the Guanzhong of the fifth reunion westward, it would be a sharp sword!"
No matter what Liu Xuan thought, Li Diyuan regarded the fifth reunion as the enemy of the Green Han Dynasty. When the fifth reunion came to Xindu, Nanyang to pick up Wang Mang's son, they had a fight. Li Tong was beaten very badly by the "passerby" of the fifth reunion. Knowing that this person was very good, he could not let him integrate into Guanzhong safely.
Liu Xuan frowned: "Liu Xiu is missing, who can tell me to surrender the Red Eyebrow?"
He looked at Li Tong: "Will King Xiping?"
Li Tong was shocked. The last time he had a relationship with the fifth reunion, he shot himself in the foot. Today will he return to yesterday's events? Fortunately, there was someone in Li Tong's heart: "Supervisor of the Xinshi Bingqu, General Zhenwei Ma Wu, take on this important task!"
"Ma Wu, Liu Xiu's wife and brother..." Liu Xuan thought so in his heart, but at least he didn't say it directly. After all, Li Tong is also Liu Xiu's "brother-in-law".
Li Tong: "One of the time, Ma Wu was stationed in Yingchuan, close to Huaiyang; secondly, he was martial and heroic, and might be able to meet the temperament of Fan Chong, the Red Eyebrow."
There is another third point he didn't say, and Li Tong still thought of Liu Xiu. It is rumored that Liu Xiu was not Yu Chimei and was captured as a prisoner. Ma Wu can go and see what happened. If he could be rescued, it would be worthy of his friendship with the brothers.
Liu Xuan hesitated: "But this man is the courage of an ordinary man. Can he say that he surrenders to the red eyebrows?"
"Just send an eloquent scholar to accompany him as his deputy." Li Tong recommended a few people, and Liu Xuan reluctantly agreed.
But after Li Tong left, Liu Xuan, the emperor who was good at using his cleverness, sent someone a secret edict to Lulin Qu Shuai who was far away in Chenliu.
"The General of the Weiwei, Zhang Jue, was the King of Huaiyang. Now Huaiyang is occupied by the Red Eyebrows. He has lost his fiefdom and told Zhang Jue that if the Red Eyebrows refuse to surrender, he will send troops to attack him!"
In Liu Xuan's opinion, Red Eyebrows are just a group of scattered soldiers. What's so great about winning the new army several times? How could it be that Green Forest, which has now confiscated the arsenal of the Central Plains, and replaced the elite armored soldiers?
This move can also make Chimei angry at Ma Wu, and wouldn't it be beautiful to call the Lulin Qushuai, who supported Liu Bosheng as the emperor, died at the hands of Chimei?
Just as I was thinking, a delicate voice sounded from the curtain.
"Your Majesty, aren't it done yet?"
"Come here, come here." Liu Xuan threw the pen and asked someone to send the edict out. He threw away the filial pie who was pretending to be a lie to Liu Bosheng. He immediately returned to his harems with a smile and continued to have a banquet.
...
Liu Xuan wanted to "kill people with a sword" again, but he was almost half a "puppet", and it is unknown how much control he can have on the front line Green Forest Qushu.
In early November, after Hongnong's Wang Chang took his own initiative to send troops to help Liu Bosheng, Zhang Ju, the green forest "Huaiyang King" stationed in Chenliu, also found that the food in the jurisdiction was delayed due to years of military disasters, and the spring plowing and autumn harvest was delayed, and it was not enough to eat, so he couldn't help but get ready to move.
His every move was in the eyes of the scouts in Hanoi County on the other side.
"Ma Guowei, Zhang Ju, the Green Forest, sent troops to Puyang, and Wang Hong, the chief minister of Dongjun, had no choice but to send his nephew to ask for help!"
In the past few months, Ma Yuan, one of the three Dukes of the Great Wei Dynasty, has been idle in Hanoi so much that he can only play with his grandson.
But with the eighth Jiao of the Fifth Reunion School, he took his wife and children to Guanzhong, Ma Yuan had no time to play with his young grandson, and he felt lost.
The fifth reunification also demanded that Hanoi and Wei County maintain peace with the Northern Han Dynasty, and there was no place to fight a war.
Now that he heard that the Green Han attacked Puyang, Ma Yuan suddenly stood up.
"There are Baimajin and boats in Dongjun."
"The lips are gone and the teeth are cold. Wang Hong must be saved, let alone..."
Ma Yuan put on his armor at a fast speed and said with a smile: "The king just defeated Liu Bosheng. Do you think Green Forest will attack Guanzhong west to avenge him?"
Huang Chang and others were unable to be sure, so they could only say: "Maybe they will."
Ma Yuan waited for this sentence and put the Zhou on: "Even if we spend a part of the green forest under the city of Puyang, we will share the worries for the king!"
