The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 364

July 269th, AD [-].The western suburbs of Chang'an.

It was midsummer, and the sun was scorching.In addition, there was still a severe drought in the Guanzhong area this year, and there has been no rain for three full months.So in the dry air, even the cry of cicadas could not be heard.

However, it is in such a hot and dry time.Liu Yong and Guan Yi took the lead, and Jiang Wei, Zhang Yi, Luo Xian, Huo Yi and many other high-ranking military officials of the Jihan Dynasty were all neatly dressed, standing solemnly on the official road thirty miles outside the west gate of Chang'an, waiting quietly.

Not only that, behind these senior officials, besides Lai Zhong, Zhao Tong, Xiang Chong and other Mesozoic generals, Zhao Yi, Ma Guo, Huo Zai, Jiang Su and other young generals, as well as Ji Han's current officials in Yongliang, big and small, All of them were dressed neatly and stood neatly behind Guan Yi and the others in order.

Behind these Ji Han officials, there is a large group of people with different skin colors and appearances, and different clothes and hats.

Soochow sent a mission headed by Sun Hao's younger brother Sun De, and more than a dozen tribes headed by the Bald Ministry in Yongliang.Envoys from 55 countries in the Western Regions headed by Shanshan, Khotan, Shule, and Qiuci... all gathered here with serious expressions.

In addition to these people, countless soldiers faced the ridges of the field and their backs to the road, observing the crowds of people in the fields with extreme vigilance.If anyone dares to make a disturbing move at this time, no way, this is a warrior standing like a javelin.It will be slaughtered without hesitation.

On the road, there were hundreds of eunuchs who arrived ahead of schedule, and under the leadership of the Huangmen at all levels, they kept splashing the road with clear water.This section of the road has always been kept wet...

The sun rose slowly, and the time slowly came to noon.I don't know who shouted in the crowd: "Here we come!" Immediately, countless people who were already a little sluggish at the beginning stretched their necks and stared at the official road to the west.

A huge fiery red Han flag first appeared on the horizon, followed by countless flags and honor guards appearing one after another.When Yu Huan, who had been pulled by six white horses, finally appeared in everyone's sight.One person took the lead, followed by countless people, and thousands of people knelt down like a wave.

"The ministers welcome His Majesty, return to Chang'an!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Without exception, officials, common people, even foreign nationalities and envoys from the Western Regions all knelt down and worshiped.Among the tens of thousands of low-lying crowds, only a group of people with bright yellow flags stood proudly, which looked particularly abrupt.

This is of course the representative of Sun Wu.Although they were extremely shocked at this time, they were still proud and just bowed their hands to Liu Chan who was in the imperial court.

From the time when the large group of people started to kneel down, the curtains that Liu Chanyu had put on had all been opened.So at this time, Liu Chan, who was high above him, of course saw the "outstanding" Soochow Mission.Faced with such a situation, the corners of his mouth only twitched slightly, then he stood up and waved his sleeves lightly.Countless guards shouted in unison: "Your Majesty's order, all ministers and common people are exempt from courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"There is a decree, order Ganling King, Da Sima, General, General Cheqi, General Wei, etc. to answer before the imperial court!"

"The ministers obey the order."

It's strange to say, since Yongliang was roughly settled in June last year, it took a year.The whole Yongliang is governed by a group of soldiers.Almost none of the traditional senior civil officials in Chengdu, such as Shangshu Ling and Shangshu Pushe, were transferred to Chang'an.

Even so, Guan Da Sima and his partners still completed many tasks such as resisting locust plagues and droughts, distributing soldiers, appeasing refugees, and helping victims of disasters, coercing aliens, stabilizing the family, and resuming production.Not only was it done, but it was done extremely well.The order of the entire Yongliang was quickly restored. Even in the case of severe drought this year, the entire Yongliang remained stable.

This shows what?The team with Guan Da Sima as the core can not only fight wars, but also govern the country.Moreover, compared with the previous seven years when Sima Guan was struggling in Fuling County, facing Deng Aizhong was still a little bit reluctant.Less than five years after Guan Yi took charge of the state affairs of the Shu Han Dynasty, Yizhou was rejuvenated and the Northern Expedition to Yongliang was successful.It took only one year for Yongliang to stabilize and develop rapidly... In short, it doesn't matter whether it is Guan Yi or the Fuxing Society with him at its core.The ability is getting stronger and stronger, and the resources are getting more and more... Such a group is fully formed, how can Liu Chan not be frightened?

That's why Liu Chan started to try to do a little trick.Fortunately, this little trick was not noticed by Guan Yi.

Now that Chang'an is here, the two sides will fight directly again...

"Everyone, the Northern Expedition regained Yongliang, and the great man was able to return to Chang'an. You have made great contributions, and you have worked hard."

"Don't dare, it's all adhering to the prime minister's behest. Finally, I have lived up to the prime minister's entrustment in my lifetime."

It was Jiang Wei who answered Liu Chan's words.The old man is 67 years old this year.What he said here is a complete statement of his attitude to Liu Chan: Our Northern Expedition has nothing to do with you!I insisted on the Northern Expedition only because of the friendship of the prime minister, not because of you!

"Bah!" Hearing Jiang Wei's words, Liu Chan felt like he was spinning in an instant - that's all for Guan Zifeng, why did you, Jiang Wei, follow suit?
But he didn't want to think about it. Who betrayed Jiang Wei when Deng Ai was about to be defeated in Jiang Wei's ninth Northern Expedition and ordered him to withdraw?When Sima Zhao conquered Shu, who ordered Jiang Wei to surrender when Jiang Wei was still at the top of Jiange?You have betrayed Jiang Wei twice, and Guan Yi helped him achieve his ideal in life, which side do you think he will stand on?

"Hehehe, I am also very pleased that the prime minister's last wish has been fulfilled. So, please lead the way, and let's go into the city."

"Your Majesty, you should not enter the city at this time." It was General Zhang Yi who said this.

"Yes, Your Majesty, my minister Luo Xian also thinks that he should not enter the city at this time."

what happened?Even the two army leaders in Yizhou have started to sing against me?It's too early for you to express your attitude, right?
"Hehehe, where do you think I should go? Back to Chengdu?"

"Your Majesty should first go to Changling to pay respects to Emperor Gao, and announce that the Han Dynasty will return to Chang'an. If there is time, then go to Baling to pay respects to Emperor Wen. It is appropriate to enter Chang'an afterward." At this time Guan Yi finally spoke.And it makes sense, at least on this point Liu Chan can't refute.

Was Liu Chan really stupid, didn't he know that his ancestors were buried near Chang'an?of course not.This is actually a political struggle.

What Liu Chan meant was: I will go to Chang'an first, and then go to Changling.It is the emperor first and then the descendants.What Guan Yi and others mean is: you go to Changling first and then enter Chang'an, you are the descendants first and then the emperor-you can be the emperor not because of yourself, but because you are the descendants of the Liu family.As for whether you must be on the throne in Liu's descendants, everything can be discussed.

This is a collective showdown of all the bigwigs in the military on this issue.And such a showdown was actually approved by Ganling King Liu Yong.

"That's right, Brother Huang. The descendants of the Han family have not entered Chang'an for decades. At this time, the tomb should be blocked first, and then enter the city. Although the younger brother has been in Chang'an for half a year, when he first came to Chang'an, he also They dared to enter the city after paying homage to Changling and Baling first. My descendants of the Liu family should do the same."

"Ah~~~ Shan, it should be so! Then pass the decree and drive Changling!"

Changling is the joint burial tomb of Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Lv Zhi, the empress of the Han Dynasty.According to the etiquette and law of the Han Dynasty, after the death of the emperor and empress, the emperor and empress were buried together in the same tomb and in different tombs.The imperial tombs are generally much taller than the later tombs.But Changling is the only exception: the emperor's tomb is exactly the same height and the same size as the Hou's tomb—the founder of the Western Han Dynasty was never Liu Bang alone, but a real husband and wife shop.

As for Baling, it is the mausoleum of Hanwen Emperor Liu Heng.Unlike the mausoleums of other emperors in the Western Han Dynasty, which generally rise on the ground, there is a huge mound of sealed earth.Baling is a mausoleum built from a mountain.The advantage of doing this is of course saving labor and money.

As the first emperor of the Han Empire, Liu Bang's Changling Mausoleum is famous for its shortness among the mausoleums of the Western Han emperors.In addition, Liu Heng's Baling Mausoleum was opened into a mausoleum.Very concretely and vividly shows the predicament at the beginning of the founding of the Western Han Dynasty: the country's economy collapsed, and the people were displaced.On this basis, several generations of emperors endured humiliation and compromised.There are blue threads on the road of hardships, and one after another.Finally, the magnificent Han Empire was established.

The throne of the Great Han is an honor, a right, and a great responsibility.

"The unfilial son Liu Chan worshiped Emperor Gao. In the second year of Han Dynasty 420, the rebellious minister Cao Pi usurped the throne, and Shenzhou was covered with dust... The son of Emperor Xiaojing, who was well-known after King Jing of Zhongshan, proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu the next year, continued the Han Dynasty, and lived temporarily. A corner of Yizhou. Since then, for 48 years, Yizhou has been dedicated to revitalizing the Han Dynasty. In 48 years, there have been seven out of ten and seven northern expeditions. The loyal ministers and generals who served in the king's affairs are unknown... Finally, in 470 years of the Han Dynasty Restoring Yongliang, and fixing Guanzhong. The place where the ancestors prospered, and then set up the banner of the Han family. The unfilial son Liu Chan is here to report that the Han will return to Chang'an! The capital of the Han will be in Chang'an again!"
