Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 94: Moving the Capital to Xuchang (2)

"Your Majesty! I also feel that General Hussars is right! After all, this place is not suitable to be a capital, and Luoyang has become ruins, but Xu County is a good place to go." Zhong Yao came out and said.

As soon as Zhong Yao's words fell, Dong Zhao and the officials he joined together also stood up and spoke for Li Song. When Dong Zhao and him left Li Song's place yesterday, they went to the officials with close ties to support Li Song's move to Xu County.

"Zhong Aiqing and all the other aiqings are right! According to Li Aiqing's words, the capital is temporarily moved to Xu County." Liu Xie looked at Zhong Yao and the others, and had no choice but to speak.

"In Aiqing's opinion, who should be sent to build Luoyang?"

"Your Majesty! I suggest that Yang Feng, the chariot general, build Luoyang. The food and grass needed to build Luoyang will be sent to Luoyang." Li Song said in a hurry. He transferred Yang Feng to Luoyang, and cut off his food and grass. They will definitely plunder everywhere, and then, in the name of the emperor, they can send troops to deal with him in an upright manner.

"Yang Aiqing! What do you think?" Liu Xie did not immediately agree to Li Song, but asked Yang Feng for his opinion. As long as he disagreed, he would naturally not force him. After all, he was also responsible for escorting him all the way back east.

"Sir! I would like to restore Luoyang for Your Majesty!" Yang Feng knelt down on the ground and responded.

All the officials were stunned, why is it different from what they imagined? With Yang Feng's temper, he should refuse to accept it, and then make a big fuss. Everyone is still waiting to see the good show!How did this come out.

Not only the officials didn't understand, even Liu Xie and Li Song couldn't understand the situation, Li Song was surprised!With Yang Feng doing this, there was nowhere for him to say what he was full of.

"Aiqing! Are you sure?" Liu Xie asked Yang Feng in confusion.

"Yes! The minister has made a decision! Please give your Majesty permission!" Yang Feng paid homage to Liu Xie again.The reason why Yang Feng agreed so readily was because he had other ideas. As long as he arrived in Luoyang, he could recruit soldiers and buy horses, and become a powerful prince, which was like getting angry everywhere here.

"It turns out that Aiqing is willing to share my worries! I will appoint Aiqing to be responsible for the construction of Luoyang with full authority, and seal Yang Feng, the chariot general, as Marquis of Yang, and give him a 'fake festival axe'." Liu Xie did not discuss with the officials, so he directly named Yang Feng As a marquis, he directly gave Yang Feng the festival of representing the emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Yang Fengna bowed his head, got up and retreated to his seat.

"Li Aiqing! You actually want to temporarily move the capital to Xu County. Where should I and the officials settle down?" Liu Xie turned to Li Song and asked. He had already decided to move the capital to Xu County. The most urgent thing was a place to live. The emperor and the Manchu civil and military go to sleep on the street!
"Report to Your Majesty! I ordered the people to build a large building and rush to build the palace day and night. After three months, the palace will be completed. At that time, your majesty will be able to move to Xu County." Li Song said.

As for why it is three months, not four months or longer, it is because these three months are enough for Su Dingfang to control the entire Yuzhou. Taking a step back, even if he cannot control the entire Yuzhou, at least half of the total is still some.

"Your Majesty! Even Xu County is going to be a temporary capital. It might not be appropriate to call it Xu County again. Please give me another name from your Majesty." Dong Cheng bowed.

"Dong Aiqing is right! But, what should the name of Xu County be changed?" Liu Xie asked the officials, who were discussing with each other, but no one knew what name to choose.

"Your Majesty! I think it would be better to name Xu County Xuchang!" Li Song said.

Liu Xie looked back at Li Song, and before he could speak, Zhong Yao took the lead and said, "Okay! This Xuchang is really wonderful!"

"Zhong Aiqing! What's so good about this? Let me hear it!" Liu Xie said to Zhong Yao suspiciously, and even Li Song, the instigator, looked at him suspiciously.

"Your Majesty! All ministers and workers! Prosperity means prosperity. It is a sign that our Han Dynasty will be prosperous and prosperous forever! Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Finally, he widened his eyes, can he still explain it like this?

Civil and military officials and Li Song also hurriedly knelt down and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Forever and ever!"

"Good!" Liu Xie was very happy!If it was as Zhong Yao said, he would no longer have to worry about the great mountains and rivers left by his ancestors being destroyed in his hands.At this time, Liu Xie became interested in Xuchang.

"Li Aiqing! How does the imperial palace in Xuchang compare with Luoyang?"

"Your Majesty! The imperial palace in Xuchang is naturally not as grand as the Luoyang imperial palace, but in other respects, it is even worse." Li Song said.

Liu Xie said with a smile: "I really can't wait to go to Xuchang to see, Li Aiqing has worked hard!"

"Your Majesty, your majesty, it's your duty to do things for your majesty, no hard work!" Li Song bowed.

The matter of moving the capital was basically finalized, and the job of guarding along the way naturally fell to Li Song. After all, he was the only one who had an army here. , before leaving one after another.

After the court meeting ended, Liu Xie's edict was issued, ordering Yang Feng to take full charge of Luoyang's restoration work and seal the Marquis of Guannei. After receiving the edict, Yang Feng packed up his things and set off for Luoyang.

Before leaving, he also took a batch of food and grass from Li Song's hands, which was the capital for his recruitment. At the same time, he secretly sent someone to a mountain in Liang County near Luoyang to contact the handsome Hucai Baibo who had been defeated by Li Song He and Han Xian came to discuss how to deal with Li Song.

Three months passed in a blink of an eye. In May of 196 A.D., the first year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Li Song led his army to escort Liu Xiehe and the officials from Anyi County, Hedong County, and officially embarked on the road to Xuchang.

Li Song's army escorted the Son of Heaven and all the officials, all the way slowly, and the journey was only tens of miles a day. When they arrived in Xuchang, it was already the middle of June.

The army guarded the cars of Liu Xie and all the officials, entered from the south gate, a spacious green stone road stretched all the way to the Zhuque Gate of Nangong, Liu Xie opened the curtain, looked out, and asked Li Song who was beside him: "Li Aiqing! The front is the Nangong Suzaku Gate?"

"Your Majesty has good eyesight! In front of you is the Suzaku Gate of the Nangong Palace. This palace is a palace built by the minister according to the layout of the Luoyang Palace."

"The palace is divided into two palaces, the north and the south. Except that it is not as grand as the Luoyang Palace, everything else is no different from the Luoyang Palace."

The Xuchang Palace was built after the Luoyang Palace, so the north and south palaces are the same as the north and south of Luoyang. There are four gates with the same name and the same direction, Qinglong Gate in the east, Zhuque Gate in the south, Xuanwu Gate in the north, and Baihu Gate in the west.

The Xuanwu Gate of the South Palace and the Suzaku Gate of the North Palace are connected by a double road. The South Palace is where the emperor and officials work, and the North Palace is the bedroom where the emperor and his concubines live. Enter through the Suzaku Gate and walk all the way to the Chongde Hall and the Emperor's Chamber of Commerce.

After retiring from the imperial court, all the officials left the Chongde Hall and went to the Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong three prefectures to handle errands.Looking at the palace in front of him, Liu Xie suddenly felt like going home.

"Li Aiqing is really careful. Everything here is exactly the same as the Luoyang Palace. If it weren't for Li Aiqing, I might still be wandering here and there. How could I have the opportunity to see the shadows of the Northern and Southern Palaces again?"

"I want to reward Li Aiqing well!" Liu Xie said happily, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to be able to appoint and dismiss officials, as if he had nothing else to reward, "Li Aiqing! I won't reward you for anything. , I will give you an official promotion!"

Liu Xie suddenly felt that he was really useless as an emperor, and the majestic son of heaven was reduced to the point where he had nothing to reward his courtiers and could only be allowed to be an official.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Li Song rode on the horse, clasped his fists in a salute, and thanked him.
