Chapter 333: Pig Teammates
“...The people of Yin moved repeatedly, and the king of Zhou moved to Qishan. Now the royal capital is exhausted and cannot be settled for a long time. Heshuo is depressed, and Weihan is dangerous and astringent. They have been defeated repeatedly, Jianghan has many dangers, and now they have been razed, but the southeast is recovering..."
"...Although the sage is wise and the Yuanfu is wise, he lives frugally and keeps the promise, and protects the ancestral temple, he is not like a minister. I want to move my residence to live forever. I would like to select 30,000 elite soldiers to welcome the emperor. I will always call upon the former Bei Zhonglang general Pei Xian to supervise the military affairs of Yuzhou and the east Zhonglang general."
Seeing this, Shao Xun was already furious.
Zhou Zuxuan, I fuck your uncle!
I didn’t offend you, did I? You all know that the word "Qian" is added in front of Pei Xian's official position, why are you still disgusting me?
Self-proclaimed Pei Xian as the governor of Yuzhou, is there anything wrong with your mind?
He glanced at Wang Yan.
Wang Yan smiled and motioned for him to continue reading.
"...Jing, Xiang, Jiang, and Yang each shipped for four years (310), renting 150,000 dendrobiums of rice and 140,000 pieces of cloth each for the carriage. Order Wang Jun, Gou Xi, Shao Xun jointly defeated Heshuo, and the ministers worked hard to move the capital to defeat the bandits. The emperor came to patrol, and the ministers should move to Jiangzhou to restore the king's strategy..."
paralysis! So rich!
The four states prepared 600,000 dendrobium rice and 560,000 bolts of silk for the emperor to spend after moving the capital, which was only a "down payment".
Although the population of Jiangnan is small and the degree of development is low, there have been one or two rebellions. The social order is generally stable, and production can be done at full capacity. A lot of wealth has indeed been accumulated.
On the other hand, Henan, although its population far exceeds that of Wudi, has been reduced to a battlefield and suffered from continuous disasters. Every penny has been invested in the war. The social order has also experienced a great collapse, which is extremely painful.
“Zhou Fu goes too far!” Shao Xun said.
Wang Yan laughed heartily and felt very happy. Quan Zhong, Quan Zhong, have you ever been disgusted by others?
After laughing, he straightened his face and said, "The Emperor is a little moved."
"Stop!" Shao Xun said unceremoniously.
In the four years since the emperor ascended the throne, Luoyang was besieged three times, so he must have been a little scared.
The desire to move the capital may not be particularly strong, but if you say that there is no desire at all, this is not true.
Zhou Fu hated Sima Yue and was not suitable to touch him, so he was kicked to Yangzhou as the governor and stayed there for several years.
This person is quite loyal and is not from the same group as Shao Xun.
Of course, he also has selfish motives.
What's the point of letting Shao Xun, Wang Jun, and Gou Xi go to fight the Huns, and he takes the emperor away? The co-author is using us as a shield, right?
"Taiwei, I heard that the Zhou family and the Wang family are related by marriage. What do you think about this?" Shao Xun asked.
Zhou Song (Zhou Fu's nephew) of the Runan Zhou clan married his daughter to Wang Yu of the Langya Wang clan.
Wang Yu's younger brother Wang Ying was also the adopted son of Wang Dun.
The relationship between these two families is not ordinary.
In addition, the concubine Zhou of Sima Ya, King Kang of Qinghe, was the daughter of Zhou Hui (Zhou Fu's younger brother). She gave birth to Sima Tan, King of Qinghe, who was the former prince raised by Yang Xianrong.
If Sima Yue had not caused trouble, Sima Tan would not have been deposed or even killed, but would have ascended the throne as emperor.
Overall, the Zhou family was very loyal to the imperial family, whether it was the Western Jin Dynasty or the historical Eastern Jin Dynasty - and their loyalty would inevitably arouse the suspicion of Wang Dun, who intended to rebel, and it was not surprising that he was eventually killed.
“No one can change the general trend.” Wang Yan replied.
"What is the general situation?"
"The consensus is no."
"That means the capital will not be moved?"
"Yes." Wang Yan After that, he introduced the inside story in detail.
When Zhou Fu went to Yangzhou to serve as the governor, Sima Yue was not at ease with him, and appointed Wang Rui of Langya as "commander of all military affairs in Yangzhou and south of the Yangtze River". In other words, Zhou Fu could only manage the military affairs in the north part of Yangzhou River, and his actual power and military strength were far inferior to Sima Rui.
Zhou Fu must be dissatisfied with this.
Before Sima Yue died, Zhou Fu went to court many times and accused Sima Yue of "not fulfilling his duties as a minister", which made A Yue very angry.
However, before he could take action against Zhou Fu, he died.
After Sima Yue's death, Zhou Fu did not stop and asked the emperor to move the capital to Shouchun.
It may not be that he wants to coerce the emperor to order the princes - he can't afford this trick at this time - it may be that he really feels that the north is in danger and invites the emperor to come over and take refuge.
But his nonsense offended everyone.
First of all, Langya King Sima Rui was very dissatisfied.
The two of them were in the south of the Yangtze River and the other in the north of the Yangtze River. They had a quarrel with each other, and Sima Rui came out of town to build Ye because of Sima Yue's feelings. To outsiders, he was Sima Yue's younger brother.
Sima Rui has never denied this. On the contrary, he is very respectful to Sima Yue. Whatever he wants to do, he will do his best to say hello.
After Sima Yue's death, many people chose to cross south to Jianye and defect to Sima Rui.
He is slowly absorbing and digesting Sima Yue's political legacy.
One day when his wings are full, God knows what will happen to him.
If the emperor moves the capital to Shouchun, then Sima Ruike will be finished.
Shouchun and Jianye are so close. Do you think the scholars will gather in Jianye or Shouchun?
Judging from Jin's temperament, he doesn't seem to be too tolerant.
It's better to be far away. If he were under his nose, he would definitely take Sima Rui's power.
With his righteousness in mind, Sima Rui would most likely not be able to defeat the Emperor, and the game was over.
Secondly, he really offended Sima Que and Shao Xun, the new kings of Cai.
What do you mean? Although Pei Xian was only an agent by letting Pei Xian "act" as an envoy, supervise the military forces in Yuzhou, and general Dong Zhonglang, he directly offended Sima Que, the real governor, and also offended Shao Xun, who regarded Yuzhou as his own territory. What kind of birdman is Pei Xian? Before the battle started, he abandoned his army and ran all the way to Shouchun. The "Flying General" was the only one. But when he saw that the situation in Yuzhou had stabilized, he wanted to come back to pick peaches again. Do you have the ability?
Furthermore, Zhou Fu wrote in his memorial that he would send 30,000 troops to greet the emperor. What does that mean? Want a conflagration?
Are you sick? Before the Huns were exterminated, our own people started to attack them first.
Shao Xun was so angry that he no longer dared to trust Zhou Mo anymore.
Test him someday.
Thirdly, Zhou Fu also offended some courtiers.
The reason is simple.
This is one of the reasons why ministers who have moved here cannot be honored.
After going to Shouchun, Zhou Fu will definitely be a minister and will definitely fight for official positions for his subordinates.
Look at the thirty people listed in his memorial: Changshi Wu Si, Sima Yinshi, Zuna (brother of Zu Ti), Pei Xian (son of Pei Kai, former governor of Yuzhou), Hua Tan (former Yue Prefecture’s military consultative wine offering), Sun Hui (former Yue Prefecture’s secretary-general, military consultation and wine offering, now Anfeng internal history), Xie Ying (Zhou Fu’s general)...
Aren’t these people all Need to make some arrangements?
There are only so many official positions. If someone goes up to him, some of the courtiers will get down.
In addition, the courtiers have been in Luo for a long time, and their houses, fields, family properties, connections, etc. are all nearby. They hesitate in their hearts, "wandering about wanting to go" and unable to make up their minds to give up. This is the second reason.
When the emperor moved the capital, they suffered great losses, so they were dissatisfied with Zhou Fu.
All in all, Zhou Fu may have public motives, or he may have both public and private motives. In short, he messed up the matter and made enemies on all sides.
"Find trouble for me." After hearing this, Shao Xun sighed: "The Huns are sharpening their swords. What can you do wrong with these 30,000 soldiers? They have to come to snatch the emperor."
" But it’s not necessarily about robbing the emperor.” Wang Yan said inexplicably: “The emperor has not issued an edict yet, and he has neither said yes nor no.”
“Is the emperor afraid?” Shao Xun asked.
Wang Yan didn't expect Shao Xun to speak so directly, so he could only talk about him and said: "This time the Xiongnu besieged the city, the princes did not come to help the king. The emperor is indeed a little dissatisfied, and the courtiers are also a little dissatisfied."
Shao Xun glanced at Wang Yan.
There is something in the old wall lamp’s words. Is this "courtier" you?
"From May to September, I tried my best to ensure that the water transportation was not lost. Did the courtiers ever praise me?" Shao Xun asked: "Without these water supplies, could Luoyang be defended?"
Wang Yan was silent at first, and then bowed his hands to express his gratitude.
“I cut through the chaos in Jingzhou quickly and put it down quickly, and sent the rebel leaders Hou Tuo and Pang Shikan to Luojing. Can the courtiers have anything good to say?”
Wang Yan cupped his hand again, feeling helpless.
Strictly speaking, the Jingzhou Rebellion has not been put down.
After Shao's army withdrew, Wang Ru became active again. While plundering grain and grass, he went northward, conquered Yiyang, defeated Suiguo, entered Xinye, and defeated the prefect Yu Fang's troops.
At the same time, they headed south, galloping between Jiangxia and Nanjun, plundering endlessly.
Yang Man sent his younger brother Yang Dan to lead more than 20,000 Shunyang and Nanyang coalition forces southward to join the powerful Xinye troops in an attempt to fight Wang Ru decisively.
The south side is busy.
"Wang Sang, Shi Chao, Lu Ming, Taobao and others invaded Xingyang, Chenliu and Chenjun. Who pushed them back?"
Shao Xun breathed a sigh of relief. Ask three questions.
The old wall lamp was speechless and decided not to argue with him about this point, and turned to talk about another matter: "Situ passed away, and Yanzhou suddenly had two official positions vacant. Please invite Wang Jun of Youzhou. With Tian Hui as the governor of Yanzhou, Shangshu ordered Xunfan to ask Li Shu to be the governor of Yanzhou. Shao Xun was indeed attracted and asked.
"Warlord." Wang Yan said with certainty.
"Forget it about Xun Fan, Wang Jun's hand has been stretched too far." Shao Xun said: "He controlled Youzhou and led Jizhou, and now he has reached out to Yanzhou. Why, he wants to break the stone. Chao and Shi Le, and then unite both sides of the river?"
"I heard that Wang Jun wanted to give up the leadership of Jizhou, so I appointed Zaosong as the governor."
"Zao Song is Wang Jun's son-in-law. Judging from the age of Zaosong's father and brother, he should be the son-in-law, right? That's not the same thing!" Shao Xun sneered.
The Zao family is also a member of the Yingchuan gentry clan and lives in Changshe County. This family is not big, and its family status is similar to that of the Yu family. It is considered a middle-class noble family.
Zao Song once served in Sima Ying's mansion.
When Lu Ji was imprisoned, he tried to rescue him but failed.
After Sima Ying's defeat, Zao Song defected to his father-in-law Wang Jun and became a close aide.
Wang Jun made Zao Song the governor of Jizhou to avoid suspicion, which is really funny.
"As soon as Situ left, everyone was eyeing the fat man in Yanzhou. I heard that Gou Xi and even Liu Kun were interested, so the Lord didn't have any ideas?" Wang Yan asked.
"I'm a humble person, what can I do?" Shao Xun said angrily.
"Oh? So there is someone chosen?" Wang Yan said in surprise.
"I would like to declare Yang Jiong the governor of Yanzhou. Can the court agree?" Shao Xun asked.
Wang Yan frowned slightly. Are Yangshi and Chen Hou so close?
"I'm afraid it won't be possible." Wang Yan sighed: "The emperor now attaches great importance to Gou Xi and Wang Jun, you - take care of yourself."
Shao Xunruo has realized something.
