Chapter 132: Moving the Capital (Part 2)
Update time: 2012-10-30
"Maoxian!" The short words were filled with incomparable enthusiasm and emotion. Sima Yan ran out without waiting for the ceremonial guards, looking at the vicissitudes of the man in front of him and hugged him in his arms, feeling extremely excited!
"The criminal Zhang Hua is here to come boldly, look forward to Duke Jin..." Zhang Hua prepared a lot of words, but Sima Yan hugged him regardless of his enthusiasm, and he couldn't continue to say anything.
After letting go of his hands, Sima Yan pulled Zhang Hua's clothes and strode towards the mansion, saying happily: "Maoxian is willing to come to help me, which is really my blessing! Immediately, Maoxian will be the chief minister of my mansion, and will be the position of the minister of the court. I will not pursue any previous matters!"
Sima Yan visited all kinds of talents before he could. At this time, Zhang Hua took the initiative to come to the scene. It was a long time when the drought was a rainy rain. What is it to seek talented people and what is to treat wise men? Only then did Sima Yan have a thorough understanding of this urgent mood. Zhang Hua and Zhang Maoxian were the think tanks of Sima Zhao's period. After Zhong Hui treason, he even dominated the dynasty with Pei Xiu.
How he treated Zhang Hua back then was still vivid in his mind, but now Zhang Hua's love for his revenge is a patriotic country and unyielding. At this time, everyone in Cao Wei knew that it was a mess. Not to mention that there was no way, even if there was a way, how could the problems that had been formed over the years be changed in a short time?
Therefore, even if you are willing to become an official, you will not dare to stand up when you see such a situation. This is a self-protection move, not a timid person. With Zhang Hua's wisdom, he naturally understands the difficulties and still stands up without fear. This is naturally valuable.
After some greetings, Sima Yan finally couldn't help but say: "The current national crisis is rampant, and Shu people are rampant. I wonder what plans do you have to teach me?"
Zhang Hua frowned. He had already seen clearly about the current situation of Wei State and traveled all over the Central Plains and Hebei and lived in Xuchang. However, the interests and interests in the court were linked together, and even Sima Yan dared not easily touched. The prestige and power of the Sima family were originally formed by the large families of Wei State.
The Sima family represents the interests of the aristocratic families. Now the aristocratic families have become the biggest cancer of the reform of the Wei Kingdom. They cannot move, but they have to move. No one knows how to move, who will move, and what consequences will happen after moving.
Seeing that Zhang Hua had no words for a long time, Sima Yan seemed even more urgent: "With Mr.'s talent, is there no way to sir?"
Zhang Hua's brows were tightly shaped like a Sichuan character, and his face was even heavier. Sima Yan did not have Sima Zhao's courage nor Sima Zhao's wisdom, but the strength of the major families had expanded to an unparalleled level after being indulged by the Sima family.
The Sima family used the interests of the court and the flesh and blood of the country to support the aristocratic families in exchange for the interests and glory of their own families. It is not a matter of one word to make a change at this time. Not to mention that Sima Yan does not have such ability, even if he has it, he is probably not a rival to the major aristocratic families.
Seeing Zhang Hua not saying a word, Sima Yan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He waited for Zhang Hua, but after he invited him in, he didn't say anything. What happened? He finally put down the Wei emperor Cao Huan, finally convinced the major families, cleared all the voices against him in the court, and even concentrated the military power in the hands of his confidant relatives. It can be said that he paved the way for military affairs and even the people's expectations.
If Sima Zhao had defeated Shu and Wu, the strength of Wei State was enough to suppress these two countries. At that time, Sima Yan would naturally not have to go through such trouble. However, Sima Zhao experienced a lot of turmoil during the period of Sima Zhao, and it was not a stable regime left to Sima Yan.
With his own ability, Sima Yan was eagerly looking forward to the throne and emperor, and he wanted to reach the highest peak of the world at all times. But when everything was ready, the invasion of Shu Han made everything completely different.
Could it be that his dream of emperor, whether the efforts of several generations of Sima family have really burned down and collapsed? Thinking of this, Sima Yan shivered and a look of almost despair appeared on his face!
Zhang Hua has seen his wisdom, far exceeding the others around him. If even Zhang Hua is helpless, then he will be completely disappointed...
Seeing Sima Yan's expression gradually change, and his despair occupied most of his face, Zhang Hua said slowly: "There are many crises, and it is not easy to get rid of the decay. I wonder where the Jin Gong believes that the harm is the most serious?"
The Shu Han was heavily hoarded under Hulao Pass, and only Du Yu was supported in Nanyang County. All the land on the Huai River fell into the control of Shu people. Xuzhou was also in a frequent emergency, and everything was brought by Shu people. Naturally, the "Shu troubles" were even more serious.
Thinking of this, Sima Yan pondered and said, "The raging thieves in Shu should be the most urgent task!" After saying that, Sima Yan was stunned when he saw Zhang Hua shook his head slightly.
"The Shu people are external troubles, and there is no food or soldiers in the country, but because of the existence of the Shu people?" Zhang Hua did not point out incisively, but guided Sima Yan to think by himself.
If you are adjacent to a powerful enemy, you must naturally strengthen your own military and increase your food and salary reserves. Even if you do not attack the enemy country, you must still be guarded against the enemy country's invasion. This is a simple truth, and Sima Yan naturally knows that Shu Han is so powerful, but Wei State is not strong enough troops and insufficient food and grass. What is this?
After a while without words, Sima Yan's thoughts gradually entered Zhang Hua's thinking. The luxurious life of major families and the extravagant style of bureaucrats in the world, which one consumed national strength? Which one did not erode the development of this country? It was originally a brief calm that was finally obtained from the internal strife outside, but he did not want to make progress. Instead, he indulged his subordinates and relatives to be proud of wealth and to show extravagance. Where did the country get enough strength to have enough food?
"What the sir teaches is that it's just now... hey!" Sima Yan is not a fool. Zhang Hua also guessed the clues when he thought of it, but these are long-term solutions. What are the benefits of solving the immediate problems? Moreover, after experiencing Yang Jun's incident, people's hearts become more fragile. At this time, the medicine is too fierce. Aren't you afraid of the emergence of "Yang Jun" one after another?
"People are panic and can't bear the heavy blow. Rumors of moving the capital are rampant. Haven't Jin Duke considered it?" Zhang Hua saw Sima Yan's understanding, but he was not in a hurry. He had already had some insights into the future of Wei and the design and estimation of the court, but he could not succeed without Sima Yan's support.
Or even with Sima Yan's support, it is difficult to succeed. But the premise for implementing all this is a stable regime, not the current turbulent Xuchang.
"Without a gentleman's talent, can't he turn the tide?" The matter of moving the capital is very important, and it is closely related to Sima Yan's great cause of becoming emperor. Once the capital is moved, the consequences will lead to the decline of the Wei State and the Sima family's prestige will plummet. How can we ascend the throne and become emperor?!
A trace of surprise flashed in Zhang Hua's eyes, and then he came up with the problem. After years of hard work, the rumors that Sima Yan intended to usurp the throne had long been spread among the people. The current situation is so critical, but Sima Yan is reluctant to move the capital. The key to the problem is the proclaimed emperor!
"Who is Liu Gongsi and Jiang Boyou's opponent?" Zhang Hua asked with a smile.
"This... I'm afraid there is no suitable person..." Sima Yan thought about it and said truthfully, his face slightly stingy. Liu Chan is the king of a country, and he is also a monarch, and he is inferior to Liu Chan compared to two times. Jiang Wei is a general of Shu Han, but the elders in the Wei Dynasty either died in battle or lived in seclusion. Naturally, Wei is inferior to Shu Han.
Zhang Hua sighed and said, "If the Shu army surrounded Xuchang, with the ability of Duke Jin, what would it think of the situation in Xuchang?"
Sima Yan thought for a while and said, "The city walls of Xuchang are strong, with sufficient soldiers and sufficient food. There should be no problem with resisting the Shu army. People from all over the country came to support them, and the Shu army has little chance of victory..."
Seeing that Sima Yan still did not realize the seriousness of the problem, Zhang Hua simply stood up and whispered: "Haixi fell into the hands of the Shu people, and the generals in front of him have been defecting. Have you forgotten that Jin Gong??"
Haixi is remote, but it is rich. The key is that the Central Plains families have a share of the pie in Haixi. The Shu people occupied Haixi and naturally had a close connection with the Central Plains families. The turn of Yang Jun brothers, Li Jian, Cao Gen and others has caused Cao Wei to suffer heavy losses. Zhang Hua said a word, but Sima Yan fell on the chair, his face pale, and there was no movement for a while.
