I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 481

Today is the New Year's Eve, a day when the whole country celebrates, everyone is reunited, and a day of well-being.

Even if the world is restless now, when it comes to the New Year's Eve, no matter if it's the gentry or the low-level people, they will show the enthusiasm they have accumulated throughout the year and spend a good festival to celebrate everyone's success in life again. It's been a year.

The national celebration is not only among the people, but also in the palace.

Today is the New Year's Eve. In the entire Chang'an court, all the high-ranking officials were ordered to enter the Deyang Hall to celebrate the New Year together with the emperor and the queen mother.

It was already dark, but the hall of Deyang was shone like day by countless oil lamps.

Among the hundreds of seats, each table is filled with delicacies and fine wines, which makes people's index fingers move.

Countless maidservants and eunuchs shuttled back and forth in the arena carrying all kinds of food and wine, changing the finished dishes for the civil and military officials.

The ministers of the Chang'an court, who have lived in the turbulent waves for a whole year, are completely relaxed today. They put the troubles and troubles of this year behind their heads, and they toast and celebrate the festival together.

The entire Deyang Hall was indeed a happy and peaceful scene.

The emperor Liu Bian wore the imperial crown, and exchanged cups with all the ministers with a smile on his face.

It is not difficult to see that Liu Bian is beaming now.

And the Empress Dowager He beside him is also dressed gracefully and luxuriously today, extremely coquettish.

Empress Dowager He was also in full bloom today, the corners of her mouth were always twitching, but she never closed it.

After a few rounds of wine and delicious food, Sikong Chunyujia stood up and toasted Liu Bian and the Queen Mother on behalf of the ministers.

"Your Majesty has gradually grown, not only intelligent, but also has the appearance of an emperor. He acts resolutely and changes things. He has the dragon appearance of the former emperor. I respect your majesty today. I wish your majesty to rule the world as soon as possible and prosper the great man. I also wish the queen mother a long life !"

As Chunyujia's voice fell, all the courtiers in the Deyang Palace raised their ranks and said loudly: "I will congratulate Your Majesty."

Chunyujia's words really touched the hearts of Liu Bian's mother and son.

The Empress Dowager He looked at Liu Bian kindly, and then said to the courtiers: "Your Majesty lost his father since he was a child, and experienced great changes in the world. The world is in turmoil, and there are endless disputes, but in the end, with the help of all your lovers, he has grown to this day. His majesty's imperial appearance today is inseparable from the assistance of all the love ministers."

"Your Majesty is now seventeen years old. Although he is still a young man, his mind is far more mature than that of his peers, and his appearance as a wise gentleman has been revealed."

"In my opinion, in a few years, after His Majesty's Crown Ceremony, all my loves will be able to assist His Majesty to calm down the world. At that time, all my loves will share wealth with His Majesty and enjoy peace."

"I will depend on Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager for the rest of my life."

Seeing the courtiers so obedient, Liu Bian and Empress Dowager He were delighted from ear to ear.

It seems that this world has become their pocket.

No wonder the two of them are so arrogant.

Liu Bian had just told his mother two days ago that Lu Bu had been subdued by him.

As Lv Bu, who was famous as a flying general in Bingzhou, now he took the initiative to join Liu Bian, Empress Dowager He was really happy.

My son is really a holy king through the ages!
Empress Dowager He reminded Liu Bian that since it was hard to get Lv Bu back, he must treat this person well and make him a confidant who leads the army for Liu Bian.

And you must show an attitude of accepting advice with an open mind, being open-minded, and broad-minded.

Whatever request Lu Bu made, he tried to satisfy him as much as possible.

It seems that Empress Dowager He has been really depressed these years. Now, seeing that her son has won the heart of a military talent, Empress Dowager He can almost give everything she has in her words.

It is estimated that the current Lu Bu would not hesitate to ask Queen Mother He to sleep with him even if he wanted to sleep with him.

Liu Bian naturally knew the importance of Lu Bu, and she told Queen Mother He that what Lu Bu wanted was nothing more than gold, silver, silk and rich salary for high officials.

In addition, Lu Bu hopes to go to Liangzhou to recruit soldiers.

After all, in the battle ahead in Sizhou, Lu Bu lost his troops and generals, and his strength was greatly damaged.

Lu Bu said that he heard that Dong Zhuo wanted to pacify Liangzhou, so he asked the eunuch to tell Liu Bian about it.

After much deliberation, Liu Bian decided to launch a pacification strategy against Liangzhou.

Let Lu Bu go to Liangzhou to recruit soldiers and horses as one of them.

The imperial court has indeed established its capital in Chang'an, Guanzhong, and Liangzhou is naturally the rear of Chang'an.

It is very necessary to make Liangzhou Pingding the protected area of ​​Chang'an in the west.

After all, the safety of Kyoto cannot be ignored.

It can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

So Liu Bian decided to announce this matter in front of all civil and military officials today at the end of the new year.

This can be regarded as the first policy issued by himself after he became the emperor.

So Liu Bian attached great importance to today's matter.

Facing the courtiers and workers who worshiped him "sincerely and sincerely", Liu Bian began to gain confidence in his heart.

"Everyone, I have something I want to announce to you. I have decided that from next year, the imperial court will blockade Hangu Pass and temporarily cut off contact with the Kanto. Instead of using troops against the Kanto, we will go west with all our strength to pacify Liangzhou."

"This matter, I have decided to be an established national policy, and there is no need to change it. You may give your full support in the future, and our monarchs and ministers will work together to prosper the Han Dynasty!"

After saying this sentence, everyone showed a look of surprise.

Obviously, what Liu Bian said today was completely arbitrary, and he didn't discuss it with anyone beforehand.

Most of the ministers in the court were born in the counties of the Kanto states.

Now, instead of using the court's energy on their hometown, Liu Bian is turning to Xiliang instead.

From now on, whether it is conscription, taxation, or various policies, the imperial court will basically have nothing to do with the Kanto states and counties.

This means that they will no longer have too much contact with their hometown from now on, and they will no longer fight for too many policies to benefit the family.

Isn't this bullshit?

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"

With a shrill cry, a Lang Guan rushed out crying.

"Your Majesty, Liangzhou is a barren land. There are many sages in the past generations. They advise the late emperors to abandon this place! The Qiang people rebelled there, and the mountains and rivers are dangerous. Over the years, it has cost me countless money and food!"

"Now Your Majesty does not rule the wealthy land in the East, but manages Liangzhou! This is an act that ruins the fate of the country, Your Majesty!"

Liu Bian's face turned dark.

"Nonsense! I am a man bestowed by heaven, even Liu Jian, and I must bow my head in front of me! How dare you disobey my will!"

……

……

But what Liu Braid didn't know was that at this moment, the messenger of Hangu Pass guard was rushing towards Deyang Palace!
In this world, something big has happened!
