Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 543 Chang'an's Response

In the city of Chang'an, Weiyang Changle, and the East and West Palaces stand tall.

On the original dragon head, Weiyang Palace.

This palace is the most magnificent palace in the Han Dynasty. It has stood on the Longshouyuan since the day when the Han Dynasty made great efforts to conquer the world. After Xiuding Dingjiangshan, Luoyang was established as the capital, and it was abandoned.

But Weiyang Palace is an imperial palace after all. Even if the palace of Tianjia is abandoned, ordinary people will not be allowed to enter it, and it has always been vacant.

Of course, in the past 200 years since the Eastern Han Dynasty, funds have been allocated to build it one after another. At least the superficial effort is still passable. Although it can’t be said that it can be built as before, it has also restored the scale of many architectural palaces, and it has been well preserved so far.

After the imperial court moved from Luoyang to the south, the Son of Heaven would naturally enter the imperial palace. Fortunately, there was a Weiyang Palace, and there was no need to spend money to build another palace. This is a happy thing for the imperial court today.

The overall layout of Weiyang Palace is rectangular, surrounded by walls.

There are three arterial roads in the palace city, two parallel east-west arterial roads run through the palace city, a north-south arterial road runs through the central part, and two east-west arterial roads divide Weiyang Palace into three areas: south, middle, and north.

Pepper House.

This was originally a royal palace, but now it is classified as the emperor's palace.

The young man in a brocade robe, with an imposing appearance, sat cross-legged in the pavilion, holding a book in his hand, reading it with relish.

"Your Majesty, please see Situ outside the hall!"

A little eunuch came in, bowed his body, and clapped his hands to report.

"pass!"

The boy put down the book in his hand and said calmly.

"promise!"

The little eunuch nodded, then turned around and left. In less than a quarter of an hour, he brought the current Situ Wang Yun into the pavilion.

"Wang Yun greets His Majesty, Long live Your Majesty!"

Wang Yun walked in and acted with courtesy.

"Situ, please get up!"

The young emperor helped Wang Yun up, and said softly: "This is not the main hall, so there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony!"

"Your Majesty is looking at the Warring States Policy?" Wang Yun stood up, looked at the books on the desk, and frowned slightly.

"If you have nothing to do, just look at the ancient history!"

The young emperor said with a smile.

His country comes from an injustice, whether the world recognizes it or not is another matter, and the power is not with him. Whether it is Dong Zhuo, Yang Biao, Sima Fang, Wang Yun, etc., they do not support him, but use him as a puppet to hold the power of the world That's all.

"The strategy of the Warring States Period is a history of ups and downs. Your Majesty, it's better not to look at it!" Wang Yun instructed.

It's not that "Warring States Policy" is not good. During the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiang compiled 33 volumes of Warring States Policy, which mainly described the political opinions and strategies of words and deeds of the lobbyists in the Warring States Period. Political opinions are not suitable for today's use.

"What Wang Situ said is true!"

The young emperor smiled and said: "In the future, you should read this book less!"

Liu Xie asked himself that he was a smart person. He was able to unite with Dong Zhuo and Wang Yun to rebel against the Mu family under the domineering Empress Dowager He. He should have a keen political sense, who is he to rely on, and who is he to deal with , he knew clearly.

Therefore, as Wang Yun's backer, he needs to firmly grasp it. No matter what Wang Yun said, he never refuted it.

"Your Majesty, this is the book of Hanzhong Shangzou!"

Wang Yun took out a playbook from his long sleeves and handed it over.

"I'm still young. It was said at the court meeting in the past that important affairs of the court still need your full efforts. Grand Master Dong is the pillar of the court. Since it is a memorial book, why not send it to the Grand Master's residence for him to have a look at it?" The young emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. In the blink of an eye, he didn't take the memorandum, but asked rhetorically.

As smart as he is, he can only save his life by giving up his power. Unless he is absolutely sure, he will never confront Dong Zhuo head-on, or even do anything that dislikes Dong Zhuo. He is a life-saving emperor.

"Your Majesty, why do you say that!"

Wang Yun frowned, his eyes somewhat dissatisfied with the emperor's weakness.

At the beginning, he joined hands with Dong Zhuo to get rid of the treacherous ministers. He thought it would help the peace of the Han Dynasty, but since the capital was moved to the south, the power above the court gradually became unbalanced. Basically, they have already been commanded by the Grand Master, with military and political power, and they cannot issue government orders unless the Grand Master has seen them, which makes him dissatisfied.

He didn't want to get rid of a powerful minister, Mu Shan, and get another Dong Zhuo.

In the past, he believed that Dong Zhuo was born in Xiliang, he had no civil servant roots, and he had no roots in the Central Plains, so he was willing to cooperate and let Dong Zhuo take military power. He accepted it. After all, the imperial court needs a strong person to protect it. Dong Zhuo is the only one who commands thousands of troops.

However, Dong Zhuo was in power strongly, and the power had covered the court, and even government orders were involved, which made him very dissatisfied.

"Wang Situ, I have absolutely no ability to do anything, and you are embarrassing me!" The young emperor said with a wry smile.

"Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven. You should be the ruler of the world. How can you quell the chaos of the country and stand alone above the Kyushu?" Wang Yun said righteously: "Whether it's a grand master or a situ Respecting the edict of the emperor is the right way!"

He paused, and then said: "And this memorial was sent by the Minghou Mansion!"

"Minghou Mansion?"

The young emperor suddenly became interested: "If I remember correctly, during the chaos in Luoyang last year, Mulongtu led his troops to rebel against Beijing, performed the crown ceremony in public, and succeeded him to the title, Minghou must be him, Mulongtu!"

He is no stranger to the title of Marquis of Ming.

"It's the picture of the shepherd dragon!"

Wang Yundao: "After this man led the remnants of the shepherd army to the south, he went to Nanyang to rest and recuperate, but he did not rest for a long time. He brazenly sent troops to Hanzhong and drove straight in. In just a few months, he wiped out Zhang Lu in Hanzhong and seized the land of Hanzhong!"

"Today he sent envoys to report to the court, intending to..."

"What do you want?"

"Return to the court!" Wang Yun said.

"Will he return to the imperial court?" The young emperor narrowed his eyes slightly: "It doesn't matter whether it is the grand master or me, the relationship between us and him is the revenge of killing our father, has he forgotten?"

Liu Xie will never forget that there is already an insurmountable gap between himself and the boy who took him to skip class.

"Whether he forgot or not, I don't know, but I know his current situation!"

Wang Yundao: "Looking at this beast in the past, I knew that this man was not an ordinary person. There is no one like him among young people. He can stretch and bend. He is a hero. He won Hanzhong, but it was difficult to sit firmly. Only the court's full strength can have a chance. To contend against Liu Yan in Yizhou, so he chose to surrender to the imperial court!"

Hearing the words, the young emperor gently opened the memorandum, and looked carefully. It was indeed a melody of surrender. It was not very well written, but the meaning was clearly expressed. He even understood the hidden meaning. It means an alliance.

"Wang Situ thinks this matter, how should I deal with it?" the young emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, I believe that this matter should be allowed!"

"allow?"

A look of coldness flashed across the young emperor's eyes: "Wang Situ, you and I know this person well. Will this person let it go? If one day, he gains power, he may not say a word, and directly send troops to Chang'an without killing him." Oh, how could he be willing!"

"Even if Mu Longtu has hatred, that is a matter of the future. There is still a distance between him and us in Chang'an. Now he is like a bereaved dog. Whether he can sit in Hanzhong is uncertain. There is no chance of revenge against us. !"

Wang Yun opened up the topic and said: "However, if this person is outside, he can restrain some people for His Majesty. Your Majesty, the day you reach the crown will be the time when you will be in charge. However, there are ulterior motives in the imperial court. Your Majesty is still in charge." Prepare early!"

"Have you prepared early?"

The corner of the young emperor's mouth raised a meaningful smile, the smile flashed past, and soon disappeared into nothingness.

"Since it is the memorial of the Marquis of Ming Dynasty, let the officials of the court decide. How about this? Tomorrow, all the courtiers will be summoned to the court, and this memorial and the envoys of the Marquis of Ming Dynasty will be invited to the palace. At that time, they will discuss together and make a decision!"

"Your Majesty, absolutely not, in case the Grand Master..."

Wang Yun just wanted to cut through the mess quickly. He wanted the emperor to give an order, so he directly passed the grand master Dong Zhuo and won the off-site assistance of Mujing, so as to prepare for the future seizure of power.

"Wang Situ must not talk nonsense!"

The young emperor suddenly stood up, interrupted Wang Yun's words, and said: "Situ is too worried. The grand master is sincere to me. If there is no grand master, I would not be where I am today. I and the grand master are absolutely inseparable." trust!"

"Your Majesty?" Wang Yun's eyes darkened.

"Wang Situ doesn't need to say much!"

The young emperor clapped his hands.

An eunuch came up and bowed his hands in salute.

"Zhang Yu, go and pass on my order to all officials, and go to court tomorrow!"

"promise!"

The eunuch took the order and left.
