A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 466: Ping Korea to control the barbarians, generous rewards for the injustice between the government and the opposition

October
Sima Yi's forward general Guo Huai captured North Korea's capital, North Korea, and defeated 50,000 North Korean troops in the area of ​​Daifang City. The King of North Korea retreated to the Sanhan area with his defeated troops.

October th
Sima Yi led 20,000 troops and stationed in North Korea City. One served as Guo Huai's backup, and the other sent people to attack the city and seize territory, preparing to completely occupy the area more than a hundred miles south of Lelang County.

And Guo Huai led 10,000 people deep into the Sanhan area. All the Korean troops he encountered were crushed by him, and they fought all the way to the end of the sea.

The King of Korea couldn't hold on any longer and sent someone to surrender to Sima Yi.

Sima Yi agreed, but he had to bring people to North Korea in person and surrender face to face.

The King of Joseon, who had been hiding in the mountains for more than a month, came to Joseon City with several ministers and several sons.

As soon as he saw Sima Yi, he fell to the ground and shouted:

"The divine power of the heaven is too great for a small country. Please ask the angels to forgive me for my sins."

Sima Yi saw a person behind the King of Korea who looked like a Han man and asked him who he was.

The king of Korea replied: "This minister's son's mother is Han."

Sima Yi nodded:
"The imperial court wants to establish Daifang County within a radius of more than a hundred miles from Daifang City, and the rest of the area belongs to the Liaodong Protectorate.

Now that you have become the king, the imperial court will officially confer you the title of King of Korea. South of the Mazi River, except Lelang County and Daifang County of the Han Dynasty, all the rest will be rewarded to you, and the country of Korea will be established and controlled by the Liaodong Protectorate.

However, in order to make it easier for the court to control North Korea, it is necessary to establish three princes in the Sanhan area. Don't worry, they are all your ministers and are under your jurisdiction. However, they need to go to the court with you and accept the emperor's edict for it to be effective.

Are you willing? "

The King of Korea did not dare to refuse, and said humbly: "I obey my order! The heaven is benevolent and righteous, and I will never forget the kindness of not killing."

Sima Yi nodded with satisfaction, and then said:

"In this case, you are ready to follow this Sima to the court at any time. You choose three sons yourself, and take your three sons with you to the capital to accept the emperor's decree."

Then he pointed at the North Korean prince whom he just asked about and added:
"This son is the son of the Han people. He will become the prince of Korea. He will be sent to Luoyang to receive Chinese studies and learn etiquette and culture. When he completes his studies, he will return to Korea to civilize the lands in Liaodong."

"It's all arranged by angels, and I will obey your orders."

October 15th

The King of Korea's surrender order spread throughout Korea, and the entire Korean War came to an end.

Sima Yi began to prepare for the class.

October 20

Sima Yi took Guo Huai and the King of Korea and other Korean princes to Xiangping, Liaodong County, waiting for Zhong Hui's army returning from the west.

At the same time, Guo Huai was sent with three thousand troops to go to Fuyu, Yilou, Woju and other Yi tribes, and asked their leaders to come to Liaodong County of the Han Dynasty immediately to prepare for a pilgrimage to the capital with Da Sima of the Han Dynasty.

He also issued a pilgrimage order for the leaders of all ethnic groups:

"Wherever the order is given, the heavenly soldiers can obey it. But if they don't obey it, everyone in the carriage house will be thrown into pieces. North Korea has taken a lesson from Goguryeo, so don't say it was unforeseen."

October 24
Zhong Hui, who successfully captured Wandu, the capital of Goguryeo and killed the King of Goguryeo, took the selected Goguryeo prince to Xiangping to gather his troops.

November 5th

Guo Huai arrived in Xiangping with hundreds of tribal leaders.

After accepting the kneeling prayers of all ethnic groups and warning them with cold words, Sima Yi issued the order for the troops to return to the court.

The second year of Jianping
February

When Sima Yi's troops returned to the court, the emperor Liu Xuan led hundreds of civil and military officials out of Luoyang for five miles to welcome the returning army to show his great achievements.

February 12

Liu Xu accepted the kneeling worship of all ethnic groups in Liaodong at the great court meeting, and as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, awarded them seals to show their legal authority.

On the same day, the imperial court ordered the establishment of Daifang County, located south of Lelang County, and renamed Daishui in the south of Daifang County Hanjiang to show the power of the Han Dynasty.

Sima Yi, the Grand Sima, listed the merits of General Guo Huai and requested him to be the Protector of Liaodong.

Liu Xuan adopted Sima Yi's advice and promoted General Guo Huai to the rank of General of Liaodong. He also served as the Protector of Liaodong, controlling the Korean, Goguryeo, Fuyu, Yilou, Woju and other Liaodong barbarian tribes.

In addition, because Sima Yi had made great contributions to the pacification of Liaodong, he was relieved of the post of Grand Sima and appointed as Grand Master, responsible for teaching the emperor's military affairs.

From then on, Grand Master Sima Yi and Grand Master Bai Kang jointly served as imperial masters. Sima Yi's prestige was close to that of Bai Kang, and officials continued to move closer to him.

After adding Guan Ping, Guo Zhang and other Yuan Rong, a large number of people died in the battle of Liaodong.

This gradually narrowed the gap between the aristocratic faction represented by Sima Yi and the Yuanrong faction represented by Bai Jun and Fazheng.

And because of the death of Guan Ping and others, everyone in Yuan Rong hated Sima Yi very much, and would continue to criticize him whenever they found an opportunity.

Sima Yi took this opportunity to show his weak side to Liu Xu, which aroused Liu Xu's sympathy and even issued multiple edicts to reprimand Guan Xing, Zhao Guang and others.

"The grand master is the capital of the country and my master. You can slander him."

As Yuan Rong, you should cooperate with him sincerely, work together to benefit the Han Dynasty, wipe out the bandits in the sea, and ensure the peace of the Han Dynasty.

How can you baselessly slander a meritorious official because of your own selfish desires? Is this what your parents and brothers taught you?

My heart aches when you do this. Marquis Zhongwu of Shu said: Although we have inherited the past, we still should not violate the national law, otherwise the general will not be the country, and the ministers will not be the ministers.

I deeply believe that this is true, so you should be careful in doing things for the country and do not say anything that violates the national law. Otherwise, I will forgive you and the national law will not sympathize with you. "

Guan Xing, Zhao Guang and others were ashamed and ashamed when they received such a harsh edict from Liu Xu, especially Guan Xing.

A man in his fifties, deeply influenced by his father's loyal public relations, and the unjust death of his brother Guan Ping, he committed suicide in the Hou Mansion out of grief and anger.

Not only Guan Xing, but Zhao Guang was also angered by Liu Xu's edict. Did he really not know anything about what Sima Yi did?

Under the intense fire, Zhao Guang vomited blood and died.

Within one day, Shuanghou died because of Liu Xuan's edict.

In particular, these two people are the oldest and most prestigious among the many Yuan Rong queens since Guan Ping and Zhao Tong were killed in battle.

There was an uproar in the government and the opposition.

Liu Xuan was also a little at a loss. He didn't expect the two of them to be so fierce.

However, in the face of the accusations from many ministers, Liu Xuan really couldn't save the face to apologize.

He also knew that what he did was too much, so he had to remain silent and let the public opinion intensify.

"Since the founding of the country, after the Han Dynasty established the tripod, nothing like this has happened. Our ancestors and Emperor Zhaolie worked together to determine the world. Is this the final result? We are not convinced. Please give us justice."

Hundreds of ministers arrived outside Nangong and requested to meet Liu Xuan.

Listening to the boiling hot water remarks outside the palace and the pressure to force the palace, Liu Xuan was angry and anxious, but she did not dare to go out and face them, so she had to pretend to be deaf and mute, hoping that as time went by, they would disperse on their own.

Unexpectedly, these people did not leave for many days. Instead, many ministers fell ill because of this incident.

Helpless, Liu Xuan had no choice but to send his personal eunuch to deliver the edict outside the palace:

"Your Majesty has a decree. You are all important ministers of the country and represent the face of the Han Dynasty. You are not going to the court. How can it be appropriate to gather together like this?

It's better to disperse. Regarding the matter of Marquis Zhongyi and Marquis Zhonghu, His Majesty will definitely give everyone an explanation. "

"No, the two princes are both highly respected people. To suffer such unjust injustice in their later years is not a matter of how we see it, but how the people of the world see it, and what future generations will see a thousand years later.

It is better to ask Your Majesty to decide as soon as possible when the edict will be issued and when we will leave. "

"Yes, yes, An Cihou is right. If I hadn't sacrificed my face and come here, I'm afraid His Majesty would have pretended not to hear."

The ministers all agreed with the words of Zuo Duhou and Ancihou Mi Zhao, and Liu Xuan must be given an accurate letter.

When Liu Xu heard the eunuch's report, he grabbed the object next to him and threw it away, then pointed outside angrily:

"Rebellion, everything is rebelling. This is forcing the palace and going against the government!"

As he spoke, he picked up something and smashed it to pieces. The eunuch knelt on the ground beside him, trembling and not daring to speak.

"Your Majesty, Grand Master wants to see you!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xuan seemed to be grasping at straws and quickly asked people to come in.

Sima Yi slowly walked into the palace with the support of Master Sima, completely ignoring the mess on the ground, and respectfully paid homage:
"I would also like to ask Your Majesty to remove me from the post of Grand Master, in order to calm the minds of all the ministers."

Liu Xuan decisively refused and said: "No, if so, wouldn't it just flatter the hearts of those outside and wrong the Grand Master?

Besides, the grand master is a hero of the country. If he obeys those outside because of some trivial matters, it will chill the heart of the hero. This will make the world think of me. "

"Your Majesty is merciful, but all matters of state are paramount. I am nearly eighty years old and have only a few more years to live. However, the great man cannot be ruined just because of my old bones.

Moreover, if your Majesty wants to pacify Sun Wu, you still need to rely on those outside. Please don't be willful. This minister is sincere. "

Liu Xuan sighed:

"Well, since the Grand Master is so insistent, I am not willing to go against the Grand Master's wishes. For the sake of the world, I have wronged the Grand Master."

Sima Yi pushed away Master Sima's support and saluted respectfully: "I am very happy."

Liu Xu immediately stepped forward to help him personally and handed him into the hands of Master Sima:

"Take good care of your father. A great man cannot be without a grand master."

"I obey your order."

Watching Master Sima help Sima Yi disappear from sight step by step, Liu Xuan walked out of the palace without looking back and ordered:
"Clean up the palace and move back the things that were originally moved out. Those are the late emperor's favorite things."

The eunuch lowered his eyebrows and agreed.

That day, I saw that the sun was about to set.

Just when the ministers outside the palace thought that this was the end of the day, a eunuch came out and announced:

"Sima Yi, the Grand Master and Marquis of Huai County, has made great contributions to the country, so I worshiped him as the Grand Master. Who knew that he went against the will of the ministers and made the emperor and his ministers go against each other? I regret it.

Now I am removing Sima Yi from the post of Grand Master. However, Sima Yi's contribution to the pacification of Liaodong must be rewarded, so I will keep him in mind for now, and I will think about it carefully before awarding him. "

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
