Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 524 Reward

Chang'an is impossible. There is also a famine in Chang'an now, and the person guarding Chang'an is King Nanyang, the younger brother of King Donghai. He finally got rid of King Donghai, so how can he go to King Nanyang again?

Chang'an is also too close to Xianbei.

As for Chen County, the emperor glanced at Zhao Hanzhang.

He believed in Gou Xi more than Zhao Hanzhang.

Gou Xi was a minister worthy of two secret edicts from him. Although the two of them mostly exchanged letters, the emperor admired his personality and trusted his abilities;

As for Zhao Hanzhang, although he had heard many stories about her, the emperor didn't believe her very much, especially this time she was ruthless in dealing with Wang Mi. One moment she was an ally, and the next moment she killed without batting an eye.

Therefore, the emperor still chose Gou Xi, and naturally he chose Yuncheng.

The emperor insisted, but the courtiers below were divided into two. Some supported the emperor to go to Yuncheng, some suggested going to Chen County, and others suggested staying in Luoyang.

"Moving the capital is a major matter for the country. Luoyang is surrounded by natural dangers. Although it is dilapidated and depressed now, as long as your majesty is diligent and implements benevolent government, I believe that people will come to join us, and prosperity will be restored by then."

Surprisingly, this was Fu Zhi's suggestion.

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at Fu Zhi across from him, and immediately said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, it will take a lot to rebuild Luoyang. Although Liu Cong has retreated, the Huns are still too close to Luoyang, and Xianbei sometimes crosses Chang'an and goes south, and then settles in Luoyang." OK."

Xia Houyan immediately followed, "Your Majesty, I also think it would be better to rebuild Luoyang, or move the capital to Chang'an, or move the capital to Chen County."

Gou Xi and Gou Chun both looked at Zhao Hanzhang across from him with suspicion, their eyes deep, suspecting that she was trying to refuse in return of a welcome, pretending to refuse.

When Zhao Hanzhang saw their looks, he secretly vomited a mouthful of blood and simply ignored it, "If your Majesty wishes to go to Chen County, I will accompany you to protect him, but it is difficult to stay in Luoyang."

The emperor did not want to stay in Luoyang. Whether after or before he ascended the throne, the memory left to him in Luoyang was not good.

So he said directly: "You don't need to persuade me anymore, I must move the capital. It was because of many hesitations before that the difficulty in Luoyang occurred."

He asked Fu Zhi doubtfully, "Fu Aiqing, you have always advocated moving the capital, why have you changed your mind now?"

Fu Zhi said: "At this moment, at this moment, your Majesty will stay in Luoyang. It will be of great use to the country and the people. It is a great good."

"Yes," Xia Houyan glanced at Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Xi, and said meaningfully: "Staying in Luoyang, with the support of General Zhao and General Gou, I think Luoyang will be able to regain its vitality soon."

Xia Houyan even hinted at this, but the emperor was frightened by the Huns. This time Liu Cong and Wang Mi attacked, only one door away from him.

He was prepared to be killed and captured, so he refused to stay in Luoyang no matter what.

When Xia Houyan saw this, he sighed, glanced at Fu Zhi and stopped mentioning it. He was just a little scholar, different from Fu Zhi, so he only made suggestions. The emperor didn't listen, so he felt sorry for it, and felt that it was true. It is God who wants to destroy the Jin Dynasty.

But Fu Zhi is different.

Seeing how frosty Fu Zhi's temples are, he has nothing to worry about in the future.

Looking at Fu Tinghan who was sitting next to Zhao Hanzhang, Xia Houyan shook his head, sighed, raised his glass and signaled to Fu Zhi, and drank all the wine in the glass without waiting for his reaction.

He dropped the wine glass and stopped talking, but Fu Zhi had to say that he still insisted on staying in Luoyang or going to Chang'an.

"The King of Nanyang is mediocre in talent and cannot defend Chang'an. Chang'an, like Luoyang, is a barrier to the Central Plains. As the king, your Majesty should be the gatekeeper of the country." He added, "Moreover, Chang'an is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It has the Central Plains as its backing and General Zhao." With General Hegou here, Your Majesty will have nothing to worry about."

The emperor frowned and glanced at Fu Tinghan next to Zhao Hanzhang, slightly dissatisfied, "Fu Zhongshu clearly wanted to move the capital to Yanzhou before, why did he change it again?"

Because in just half a day, Fu Zhi realized that Gou Xi was no longer the upright minister he used to be, but he could not say these words in front of Gou Xi and the officials.

Fu Zhi lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Zhao Hanzhang picked up the flask and poured himself a glass of wine, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Fu Tinghan glanced at her and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, moving the capital is an important matter. It needs to be discussed with all officials. The decision cannot be made at once. It is better to skip this matter while we have a banquet today."

Zhao Zhongyu immediately said: "Yes, today's palace banquet is to celebrate the end of the crisis in Luoyang. On such a great day, why bother mentioning these troubles?"

The solemnity on the emperor's face temporarily disappeared, and he smiled again, "Yes, today we will only drink and talk about happy events, regardless of these troublesome things."

Empress Liang smiled and said: "In that case, Your Majesty might as well take this opportunity to reward General Zhao."

She said: "General Zhao has saved Luoyang from the crisis this time and he has made great contributions. He should be heavily rewarded."

The emperor was also anxious to leave Luoyang and wanted to deal with these matters as soon as possible, so he immediately asked: "What reward does General Zhao want?"

Zhao Hanzhang said politely: "This is the duty of a humble minister. I don't dare to ask for rewards. However, I have a few generals. Thanks to them, the Huns army can be driven away, so I would like to reward them."

This was also tacitly understood, so the emperor asked, "I wonder what kind of credit General Zhao wants to ask them for."

Zhao Hanzhang immediately took out the written note, and the chamberlain came down to pick it up and deliver it to him.

The emperor unfolded it and read it. The book was not short, but obviously it was quite long. He read it carefully and found that even the contributions of ordinary team leaders were written down.

It seems that Zhao Hanzhang wants to ask for credit for his subordinates, so it cannot be decided immediately at the palace banquet.

The emperor took the note and said: "I know, I will consider it carefully."

Zhao Hanzhang raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"This is their contribution, but General Zhao's contribution is still greater than theirs. Don't you want nothing more?"

Zhao Hanzhang hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, I am nostalgic for the past. Yuzhou is my hometown, and all my family members are in Yuzhou. Therefore, I only hope that the people of Yuzhou can live and work in peace and contentment under my governance and be loyal to the emperor and patriotic."

Zhao Hanzhang wanted Yuzhou. Fu Zhi and Zhao Zhongyu had already told him that asking him today was just taking the wrong approach.

The emperor simply said immediately: "Make Zhao Hezhen the governor of Yuzhou and grant the title of Duke of Runan County! Zhao Qing, I entrust Yuzhou to you. You must govern it well."

Zhao Hanzhang immediately stood up and went out, knelt down in the hall, thanked him and said, "I will live up to your Majesty's expectations!"

Zhao Hanzhang was respectful. The emperor became happy and immediately gave him wine. He smiled and said, "If you and I, the emperor and our ministers, talk about relatives, you have to call me cousin."

When he mistakenly saw Fu Tinghan sitting beside him, the emperor smiled even brighter and said happily: "But if you count from Tinghan, you will call me uncle."

Fu Zhi immediately said: "Relatives should be discussed from those who are close to them. There is no need to discuss things from afar. If we start from Emperor Jing, it would be too far away. We should start from the princess."

Fu Changrong's mother, Princess Hongnong, was the daughter of Emperor Hui, and Emperor Hui and Jin were brothers. The princess wanted to call the emperor uncle, and Fu Tinghan wanted to call him...uncle.

Zhao Hanzhang didn't mind being shorter, but he did mind if he was shorter than two generations later. But starting from Zhao Changyu's generation, the two sides were not only more distant, but also not related by blood. It would be better to start with Fu Tinghan and get closer. She smiled, raised her glass and called the Emperor, "Uncle."
