Chapter seven hundred and twenty five.
In fact, there are signs of the arrival of Mr. Cao. In April this year, the restoration of Luoyang City was basically completed. Compared with Xu Du, who is closer to the front line of Jingzhou, Luoyang has a dangerous place with mountains and rivers, and it is indeed more suitable for capital. So as soon as Luoyang was completed, Cao Cao had already led the Dominic Mansion Army to visit it first.
It is ten feet taller than Chang'an, almost the same style of 15 meters and 3 super high city walls and towers that exceed 20 meters high were quite admired by Cao Cao. Moreover, Wang Hou of Luoyang's imperial palace had no talent to use the Han-style pavilions and towers that the scholars and officials admired, and cheap reinforced concrete, which was quite favored by President Cao. If Wang Hou had not run away from the house selling houses in Guixianfang, Luoyang, and Cao Cao would undoubtedly have praised Wang Hou even more.
I have seen it all in Luoyang, so I will take a look at Guanzhong and promote his power to govern Guanzhong by the way. This is natural.
The situation of the Han Empire is a bit complicated. Theoretically, Cao Wei was already established. Three years ago, the Battle of Ruxukou did not fight Sun Quan. Cao Lao shamelessly said that he had fought. Using this as an excuse, Emperor Xian of Han appointed himself as Duke of Wei, and established the State of Wei. The capital was in Ye. The territory directly belonging to the vassal states of Wei included ten counties of Jizhou. In particular, Cao Cao was granted the right to build his own court and set up a prime minister and hundreds of officials. The ministers and generals who followed Cao Cao had many official titles, which was actually building a system team for Cao Wei to replace the Han Dynasty.
Last year, the foundation of Wei State was laid, and Cao Cao was one step closer and forced Emperor Xian of Han to grant himself the King of Wei, breaking the rule that the different surnames were not allowed to be kings set by Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, three hundred years ago, and further tearing apart the majesty of the Han Empire.
This political struggle in the Central Plains is indeed bizarre and cruel. Three years ago, the battle in Ruxukou was always Cao Cao's right-hand man Xun Yu was killed by Cao ** because he opposed the Duke of Wei. When Luoyang was completed this year, Cao Cao, who was named King of Wei, officially appointed Cao Pi as the prince of the King of Wei. During the dispute over the prince, the second son Cao Zhang and the third son Cao Zhi were officially eliminated. During the political reshuffle, there were countless people involved.
However, for Liaodong, or for Wang Hou in Guanzhong, Cao Cao still expressed great kindness. Take this visit as an example. He did not use official documents to notify Wang Hou. Your boss, I came to inspect your work, but sent someone to notify Cao Zhang first, and Cao Zhang told Wang Hou, which caused both of them to catch them off guard.
This feels a bit like a father-in-law calling his son who works with his son-in-law's company and telling him that he is coming to your company to see what he looks like. It's much more kind.
Of course, politics is not absolute. God knows what Cao Cao thought? No one can tell whether his intimate actions are paralyzing Wang Hou!
Therefore, the "jester" Lunzhi of Kansai was more sensible. He followed Wang Hou's personal guards and put the muskets in his arms. Moreover, Zhao Yun, the number one thug who was loyal to Wang Hou, also acted as a bodyguard again. As Lunzhi reminded him, he followed Wang Hou in a step.
The story of Liu Bang taking over King Han Xin of Chu back then was put before, and he was always on guard against others!
Fortunately, this time the defense seems useless. After all, Cao Cao's step of instigating Han has not been achieved, and it is not time for some stolen goods within the Cao group to tear him down. Not only is Wang Hou, the son-in-law, always "loyal and honest", is still Cao Cao's important money bag. On June 15th, welcoming Mr. Cao in the southern suburbs of Chang'an was particularly harmonious.
"Meet the King of Wei!"
Cao Zhang is outstanding. After all, he is the General of Guanzhong who was accepted by Wang Hou. In the past three years, the Chang'an Legion with 12,000 field troops has been successfully built. On the Weinan Plain, with his order, the cavalry dismounted and the infantry visited. As he roared in front of the army, tens of thousands of soldiers under the banner of the Great Wei bowed in order. The scene was so spectacular and spectacular.
Wang Hou himself had good political awareness. The flag he slapped was also the King of Taishang, Guanzhong, the military and political chief of Guanzhong, the general Xiahou Yuan of Chang'an, the governor of Yongzhou, the governor of Liangzhou, the governor of Liangzhou, the governor of Daxing, the governor of Jingzhao Du Ji, and the civil and military officials of Guanxi followed him to pay a visit.
"See King Wei!"
"Haha, please get up!"
Cao Cao's voice was still so loud and majestic. However, after more than a year, Cao Cao's hair was obviously much whiter again, and the old traces became more and more obvious. When he got off the chariot, he still looked close. The old guy laughed and walked to Wang Hou and slapped Wang Hou on the shoulder. He almost didn't cut him into a paralysis.
"You guys, okay! The old man thought that this Guanxi Qiang Rebellion could make you busy and busy. The Qiang Rebellion that has troubled my Han for a hundred years has actually been put down for five years! My Cao Mengde's daughter is indeed wise and can be kept in history with you boy!"
"Thanks to your wise command and Sima Governor, General Xiahou's strong help, without you and them, the son-in-law would have accomplished nothing!"
The credit is due to the leader, and he has to unite his colleagues. After so long, Wang Hou himself has become more and more slick. After hearing the bullshit, Cao Cao raised his head and laughed, and smiled and slapped Wang Hou on the shoulder with another slap. He almost didn't even slapped him.
"Okay, Wang Tuqiu, I can give you a great hat to me! You are my husband's son-in-law, and you are capable, and I am proud of you! Okay, I am here because I am not praising each other at the door, so why don't I ask me to come to your acre of three-point land?"
"Please, father-in-law!"
My father-in-law is really not a real relative. Even if you are the scumbag, you are the one with the highest military power among the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms, you shouldn't be like this! With his sore shoulders, Wang Hou let him come sadly.
…………
Although Luoyang and Chang'an were both made by Wang Hou, there are still many differences. The most different one is this atmosphere! Luoyang is not Wang Hou's international metropolis, so except for the city walls and palaces and the Guixianfang that provides the Heluo gentry to live in, there are basically no other supporting facilities, so it is a political city, somewhat similar to the Peanut Shield of later Americans.
Chang'an is the Americans who were later generations. The political atmosphere is very ordinary, but the economy and trend-leading trend are very good. Following Cao Cao, Zhong Yao, Hua Xin, Wang Lang and other important officials who had not taken it seriously were like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden. Only Jia Xu, one of the three Dukes of Wei who had been in Qingzhou, looked so comfortable on his face.
Walking ahead, Wang Hou was introducing it as conscientiously as a good tour guide.
"This place is a large racecourse. There are many good riders in Liangzhou. All counties and counties have representative teams. Leagues are held here every month to inspire everyone's martial spirit! To help the Prime Minister help the chaotic times!"
"This place is the Guanzhong Library. During the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, most of the books collected by the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years were destroyed by war. In recent years, the son-in-law collected various stocks among the people, copied them, placed them here, and engraved them and sold them to the people. In the opinion of the son-in-law, protecting these classics is not to lock them up, but should be published and sold. The more books there are, the more conducive it is to preserve and spread the culture of our Han Dynasty!"
"The east city on the right side of this place is the west city on the left side of this place, with Hu merchants selling goods in the west, and Han merchants gathering in the east! This place is the largest source of wealth in Chang'an City, and you can collect taxes of one million yuan every day!"
"here……"
There is no need to introduce this. In a scene in Chang'an, Mr. Cao's colossus, this flattery was really slapped. Seeing his thirty-three-meter colossus rising from the ground, touching the sword with both hands, majestic northward to the northward to the south. Not only did Mr. Cao feel embarrassed at all, he was particularly intoxicated and breathed a deep breath, but also stopped and slowly appreciated it.
In addition to Sima Yi who was aesthetically exhausted, she also had Xiahou Yuan. Even Jia Xu couldn't help but show a dark jealous look when he looked at the brass-plated statue, and secretly looked at Wang Houlai with gritted teeth in his heart.
Flatter!
Chapter completed!
