Chapter 128: Yan Que An Zhi Hong Hu's Aspiration
The willow trees on Ba Bridge are green. People who are about to leave Beijing say goodbye to their relatives and friends next to the willow forest by the bridge. When they are farewell, relatives and friends will fold down the willow branches at the bridge and give them to travelers. This is "Ba Bridge willows" and has become a scene of Ba Bridge.
There are many willow trees planted along the Ba River. Every spring, willow catkins will fly. From a distance, it looks very beautiful, so it is named "Ba Liu Fengxue". However, it is now late spring, and the wind and snow of Ba Liu are coming to an end, and the scenery is no longer there.
On the edge of Ba Bridge, Wang Feng, who was about to serve as the governor of the outside world, said goodbye to his relatives and friends who were seeing him off. His younger brother Wang Jun was also among the people who saw him off.
At the end of last year, Zhou State destroyed Chen State and led the troops to attack Chen State Jingkou. Wang Ma, who succeeded in sneak attacking Jiankang, made great contributions, but was rewarded and punished for the crimes of undeclared border provocations and fighting without declaration.
Wang Xu was still the admiral of the Maritime Division, and was appointed as the third rank of Kaifuyi and the marquis, and then there was no more.
Although he made great contributions, he had to be granted a marquis. There was nothing to complain about, because the Prime Minister did not seriously investigate him for his crime of engaging in border provocations, which was considered a mercy outside the law.
Although Wang Feng assisted the official army in pacifying Chen Youyou, he arbitrarily excavated the tomb of Emperor Wu of Chen, burned his remains to ashes and swallowed them. Although he later tied himself up and apologized for his crimes, the prime minister had also pardoned him, but the reward was reduced.
However, Wang Fang didn't care. He had his father's grudges and he had no regrets in his life. Moreover, he could be the governor of Hedong, which was good.
At this moment, Wang Feng took the willow branches given by his relatives and friends, said he would take care of each other, and then got on the horse and left.
By the Ba Bridge, some people bid farewell to relatives and friends, and some people return to the city one after another. Wang Jun, who stood still at the bridge, was a little conspicuous. He looked at his brother's back as he looked back at Chang'an City, feeling quite emotional.
Chang'an refers to Chang'an New City. Therefore, Chang'an City is now abandoned. The current Chang'an New City is located in the southeast of the ancient city, on the Longshouyuan. It is magnificent in scale and magnificent.
As the world returns to unity, the new Chang'an, as the capital of the dynasty, is worthy of its name and magnificent palace, lacks a veritable emperor to rule the world.
The Chen State was destroyed, and the army was triumphantly reunited not long ago. Prime Minister and King Qi of Qi came to Mount Li to greet each other, and then offered prisoners to Taimiao. The scene was very grand.
As the ruler, Yu Wenming's reputation rose sharply during his tenure. In the near future, it would be natural for Yu Wenming to make a move to fly like snowflakes and to give in three words and give in to the emperor.
The emperor is young and has no reliance and will abdicate sooner or later. By then, there will be a new situation inside and outside the court and the country.
So between the two brothers Xinjun and King Bin...
Let's talk about it then...
Wang Jun put away his thoughts, rode his horse, and galloped towards Chang'an. As the navy admiral, he would leave Chang'an soon and go to the coast of the East China Sea. In the eyes of many people, he was in vain and not cost-effective.
Not cost-effective? A joke, how can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan!
......
Chang'an, Prime Minister's Mansion, Study Room, Prime Minister, Qi Wang Yu Wenming, was talking to his cousin (brother) Bi Wang Yu Wen Wen. Qi Wang Prince Yu Wen Li, Qi Wang Prince Yu Wen Weicheng and his sister Yu Wen Weihan were also present.
Princess Bin, Yuchi Chifan, talked with Princess Qi next door.
Yuwen Wen, who was triumphant in the triumphant army, rarely came to the court, so when he passed by Luoyang, he brought the princess, princesses and eldest sons to the capital together.
It has been two years since the death of King Qi. Today, King Qi and King Bi are rarely together, so they are happy at this time. However, Yuwen Wen and his wife and children are not only visiting relatives, but also saying goodbye.
He is about to take his family to Guangling and stay in Jiangnan. It is unknown when he will be back.
The demise of the Chen State and the unification of the Central Plains, and the nearly three hundred years of confrontation between the north and the south ended. This was an extraordinary event. However, how to govern it after the pacification of the Jiangnan region is a question that Yu Wenming must consider.
Although the Chen State was destroyed, the people in Jiangnan were not determined. It is conceivable that the remnants of the previous dynasties would not be willing to do so. Then the rebellion may occur in the old place of Chen State, and the court must prepare for the future.
Therefore, Yu Wenming decided to demolish Jiankang and razed it to the ground.
Only by destroying this political center of the Southern Dynasty can we avoid those with ulterior motives using the means of occupying Jiankang, gathering people's hearts again and resisting the Chang'an court.
Yuwen Wen did not object to this because he knew it would be useless to oppose it.
Not to mention that the Sui State demolished Jiankang after pacifying Chen in "historical" and that the current political situation is actually the same under both historical trajectories.
The situation of the confrontation between the north and the south ended, but this was a political and military end. People's psychological confrontation between the north and the south did not end. The former officials and powerful officials of the Chen State in the Three Wu areas of Jiangnan must be dissatisfied with the northern court.
Therefore, as the conquerors, the northern court must demolish Jiankang and psychologically attack the southern local tyrants.
Jiankang is gone, so even if a local snake launches a rebellion, it will not be able to obtain an effective political base to unite people.
This is the consensus of the Zhou Dynasty ruling group. How could Yuwen Wen do that? After Yu Wenming recovered Yecheng, he did not razed Yecheng to the ground in order to eliminate future troubles. Yuwen Wen made a lot of efforts. This time, he was powerless.
To stabilize Jiangnan, we must use both soft and hard work. Yu Wenming has ordered the exemption of Jiangnan for ten years of taxes, but this measure cannot suppress the ambition of local tyrants, so we need to send people to take charge of Jiangnan.
In order to prevent this person from using Jiankang as his base and separating Jiangnan and fighting against the imperial court, Jiankang naturally could not stay.
But there must always be a big city as its capital, so Guangling, Jiangbei, is the best choice.
And the best candidate to guard Jiangnan...
No need to think about it, Yuwen Wen is the only one.
Yuwen Wen can use tricks to steal Ping Chen's great merit, and Yu Wenming can of course use open conspiracy to get Yuwen Wen to the Yangtze River to fish. If that is not the case, how can the resentment in Yu Wenming's heart be resolved?
Brothers are brothers, and brothers have to settle accounts clearly when doing business, let alone political struggles.
Of course, Yu Wenming would not have to kill Yu Wen Wen to eliminate future troubles. After all, if the royal family has withered, if he really becomes a lonely man, he will not be able to effectively suppress the powerful and nobles in the future, so he still needs Yu Wen Wen's help.
However, there must be necessary means of checks and balances, so as not to lose the big deal. Any person with normal thinking must consider the issue of checks and balances.
Therefore, when Yu Wenming appointed Yu Wenwen as Marshal Pingchen, he made an agreement with Yu Wenwen, or made a deal.
I will give it to you, Luoyang, and I will give it to you.
Luoyang is only more than 300 miles away from Chang'an. If a certain king sends cavalry to attack Chang'an on one day, Chang'an may change the sky. This is very tempting for a certain king, and a great threat to another king.
For the sake of the family, country and country, in order to avoid everyone's suspicion, so that the brothers finally get into a siege and take advantage of it by outsiders, it is better for the two brothers to be farther apart.
In this era, Jiangnan is not as rich as the Central Plains. It is good to have a stubborn area to survive. But the problem is how can the forces with Guangling, Jiangbei as the stronghold, survive in front of the army from the north after Jiankang was flattened?
Yu Wenming's great contributions to his son have been gone, but it is a good choice to go away with the flow and let his younger brother go away.
In order to pacify Chen Dagong, Yuwen gave up Tokyo Luoyang and gave up the favorable situation that could equalize the world. He went to Guangling to become the Southeast King with a low foundation, which seemed to be a loss of big things because of a small loss.
This is a common view from outsiders, but for Yuwen Wen, it is "How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?"
When he went to Jiangnan, Yuwen Wen would probably not have the chance to return to Chang'an for several years, and Yu Wenming had already promised him to do whatever he wanted in Jiangnan... It can be said that he was a disguised ban or "redemption".
Xu Yuwen exchanged the land in Jiangnan for Yuwen Wen to give up Luoyang, leave the power center, and become the king of Xiaoyao in Jiangnan. The two brothers lived their own lives to avoid internal strife.
Did Yu Wenming think of this idea himself or the result of a group of counselors working together? Yu Wen Wen didn't know, nor did he need to know it. He just needed to gain or lose his interests and then make a choice.
Pros outweigh the disadvantages, why not?
It’s a pity to give up Luoyang, but the reward is even richer.
Now competing for throne, Yuwen Wen believes that his chances of victory are very low. He launched a coup like the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and the success rate is also very low, while Jiangnan...
