The army entered Yongcheng, and Yongcheng was filled with stench and excrement everywhere. They covered their mouths and noses and entered the palace. The palace hall was in a mess. The remaining engineers began to clean up the garbage here, and Yongcheng was completely cleaned up. The good news came to Haibin City. King Ruluo Xi was sitting in the main hall. He was overjoyed when he saw the good news. He faced the officials and said: "The old capital Yongcheng has been recovered." The officials came to congratulate them one after another. At this time, King Ruluo Xi expressed his thoughts and said: "Move the capital to the old capital Yongcheng, then attack Ruluo Nanzhou, Ruluo Zhongzhou, Termite Tribe, Ant Tribe, and unify Nanzhan Tribe. Yan Sangzi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, no. The people of Yongcheng have been oppressed by the Cockroach Kingdom for a long time. In addition, the war has devastated the people's livelihood. It is not enough to launch a large-scale war. Your Majesty needs to continue to have good relations with these countries and cultivate relationships with the people." , this is the way to strengthen a country." King Ruluo Xi was unwilling and asked: "How long will it take to unify the Nanzhan tribe and the continent?" Yan Sangzi said: "The true strength of a country does not happen overnight, it takes a generation. With the efforts of one generation, if every dynasty has a promising king, and is as talented and strategic as the king, then there is hope for the unification of the southern continent." This matter began to run aground, and the first thing to be completed was to move the capital.
King Ruluo Xi led the civil and military officials and his princes and nobles and began to move northward under the protection of soldiers. Moving the capital is a waste of people and money. If there is no strong economic foundation, more than half of the national strength will be consumed by the move. In addition, the journey is bumpy and long. Moving the capital is like a huge project, and it is impossible to move it completely. The coastal city will be set as the companion capital, leaving some important officials to coordinate the management of people's livelihood in the south, political dignitaries, and stationed troops to be responsible for military and political affairs. King Ruluo's ceremonial guard entered the old capital of Yongcheng with great force. The streets are in ruins, every house is closed, and people's livelihood is very difficult. What I see and hear along the way is full of emotion. Entering the palace and walking up to the main hall, there are couches on the main hall. I thought that King Cockroach handles government affairs or enjoys himself in this main hall. The king does not look like a king, and the ministers do not look like ministers, so there is no hierarchy. Concept, if this continues, sooner or later there will be chaos. King Ruluo Xi ordered the eunuchs around him to remove their couches, bring in a few cases, and sit cross-legged in front of the table. Imagine how his father handled government affairs when he was young. I remember that his father once said something like this, "Be born in sorrow and die in happiness. As a king, you have to walk on thin ice. The throne is hard-won, so cherish it doubly."
On this day, the military advisor Yan Sangzi submitted his resignation. King Ruluo Xi looked at it and asked, "Sir, why is this?" Yan Sangzi replied, "I am already old. I am afraid that I will not be able to assist the king as much as I can. It is better to just repay this." I want to support the elderly in my hometown." King Ruluo Xi said, "I won't allow it." Then he tore up the resignation letter Yan Sangzi handed him and threw it away. Yan Sangzi was surprised and said: "Your Majesty, now that the war has been decided, the people are living in peace, and there is no need for ministers. Ministers must not interfere with political affairs. On the contrary, they will cause chaos to the king. In addition, ministers like Xianyun Yehe are used to being free and unrestrained. Over time, I will be hated by other officials. I am not suitable to be an official in the imperial court. Please ask your Majesty for permission." King Ruluo Xi said: "Sir, you are more than a strategist. I can't live without you. In the defense against foreign enemies, although you don't charge into battle like a military attache. Fighting everywhere, expanding the territory, but you can make plans for Gu Chu, which is worthy of merit. I will make you a left disciple, always by the king's side, and continue to make plans for Gu Chu. You think this is okay." Yan Sangzi said: "Your Majesty. ." All the ministers said: "The king is very kind to you!" Then he turned to Yan Sangzi and said: "The king cherishes talents, sir, please don't let the king down!" King Ruluo Xi was overjoyed, and suddenly stood up, feeling a sudden feeling. Dizziness. The ministers stood up and said: "Your Majesty." King Ruluo Xi was quiet for a while and said: "It's okay, you all should step aside."
The ministers all retreated. What you said to me was that you were concerned about King Ruluo Xi's condition and lingered outside the palace gate. I saw the imperial doctor entering the palace in a hurry. When You Xiang saw that everyone had left, he was alone waiting outside the palace gate. Yan Sangzi saw all this and felt very worried. The right minister looks at Yan Sangzi. Yan Sangzi pretended not to know, as if he hadn't seen anything, raised his head and left. Seeing the imperial doctor coming out, the right minister approached him enthusiastically and said, "Mr. Prime Minister, can you come to the prime minister's house tonight to have a talk?" After saying that, he secretly visited the left and right, stuffed the silver coins, and said, "You know this?" ." The imperial doctor knew very well that the right phase had great power and did not dare to offend him, so he had no choice but to agree.
But how could these small actions escape the king's eyes? The petty official entered the palace and said: "Your Majesty." King Ruluo Xi was suspicious and jealous, so he asked: "What actions did the right prime minister have?" The petty official replied: " Your Majesty, I heard that your prime minister secretly asked the imperial doctor to come to the palace at midnight." King Ruluo Xi said: "If you don't know, don't do anything. If you don't have any ghosts in your heart, why invite the imperial doctor to the prime minister's mansion for a talk. You continue to hide in the prime minister's mansion. Among them, we will monitor every move of the right prime minister and report to him at any time." The little official kowtowed and said, "I will step back now." King Ruluo Xi felt a headache again and reluctantly said, "Please step back." Again Lie down.
Late at night, the imperial doctor rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion as scheduled, entered and saw the Prime Minister sitting in the courtyard, and said: "Mr. Prime Minister, I have been waiting for you for a long time." The imperial doctor turned around and said: "Prime Minister, please forgive me for being rude. I've been waiting for a long time." The right minister said: "I forgive you, please come and sit down." The imperial doctor came over and sat down, and the right minister asked anxiously: "What disease does the king have?" The imperial doctor replied: " Your Majesty is suffering from a strong wind. The root cause of this disease has already occurred when Your Majesty fled to the seaside city when he was young. Your Majesty did not pay attention to treatment, and that is why today, the wind disease is on his head, and the pain is like a needle prick." He took out the prescription again, and the Prime Minister took it and looked at it. . The imperial doctor said: "Your Majesty has three precepts, abstaining from alcohol, eating meat, and sex with women, which can slow down the condition." The Prime Minister looked up to heaven and said: "We can only pray to heaven and hope that your Majesty will recover soon."
Yan Sangzi did not return home, but went to the armory. When he saw the swordsmith, he said: "Junior brother." The swordsmith walked out to greet him and said: "Senior brother." The swordsmith invited Yan Sangzi to come in and sit in the courtyard. , looking up at the stars in the sky. Quiet night, overgrown with weeds and swaying trees. The swordsmith asked: "Senior brother, you helped the king recover Yongcheng and have now moved to Yongcheng. I wonder what your plans are in the future?" Yan Sangzi looked up at the stars in the sky and said, "After success, you will retire and return to Wuzhishan. Live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and spend the rest of my life in Wuzhi Mountain." The swordsmith asked again: "Does the king allow it?" Yan Sangzi sighed: "No." The swordsmith said: "The king's thoughts are difficult to understand, just like The situation is unpredictable. When is it cloudy? When is it sunny? We don’t know at all. Your outstanding talents will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the king. Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger." Yan Sangzi said: "I know my situation. It is quite dangerous, and there is a possibility of losing your life at any time. I see that the king's health is deteriorating, and I am afraid that he will be in trouble soon. The left and right ministers are at odds with each other. The king has been able to suppress them for now. Once the king dies, partisanship will be inevitable. In addition, the prince is far away from the seaside city and is not with the king, and the Ruluo Xizhou is about to be in chaos. The battle for the throne coupled with the party struggle will lead to bloodshed." After hearing this, the swordsmith said: "Since senior brother already knows, why are you still staying in the court?" Yan Sangzi said: "Junior brother, please don't worry, I have my own plan to get out of trouble." Then he stood up and left.
The next day, King Ruluo Xi was sitting in the court hall to discuss the attack on Ruluo Zhongzhou. However, there was a missing insect in the court hall. Zuo Tuyan Sangzi did not go to court. King Ruluoxi faced the court and was about to call out: "Sir." Seeing that Yan Sangzi did not go to court, he asked again: "Sir, why didn't you go to court today?" The deacon stood up and looked up at Ruluoxi above the court. The king said, "Zuo Tu caught a cold wind last night, so I'm afraid he won't be able to go to court." King Ruluo Xi said, "I'll drive to Zuo Tu's Mansion." King Ru Luo Xi's chariot rushed to Zuo Tu's Mansion to visit him in person. The chariots moved slowly on the street, and the guards followed, accepting the kneeling worship of the people on the street. King Ruluo Xi looked around and slowly passed by. The chariot stopped in front of the gate of Zuo Tu's Mansion. The guards stood waiting outside the gate and entered Zuo Tu's Mansion alone. Yan Sangzi was about to stand up and salute, but King Ruluo Xi stopped him and said, "Sir, you are ill. Please lie down and recuperate." Yan Sangzi lay down, looked at King Ruluo sitting next to him, and said, "My lord, I'm old and suffering from all kinds of diseases. I may not be able to stay with you." King Ruluo Xi comforted him: "Sir, you just need to take good care of your health. It won't be too late to return to the court after you recover." Yan Sangzi looked at King Ruluo Xi's expression. Looking at his face, he asked: "Your Majesty, you have something to come to see me." King Ruluo Xi said: "If you want to destroy Ruluo Central Continent, Ruluo South Continent will lose its natural barrier. I wonder what you think, Sir?" Yan Sangzi asked: "How does our military strength in Ruluo Xizhou compare with that in Ruluo Nanzhou?" King Ruluo Xi replied: "The current military strength is not as good as that in Ruluo Nanzhou." Yan Sangzi said again: "If the king goes to attack Ruluo Zhongzhou, , Ruluo Nanzhou will definitely come to the rescue. From then on, the relationship between Ruluo Xizhou and Ruluo Nanzhou broke down, and who was harmed?" King Ruluo Xi thought for a while and said, "I understand." Yan Sangzi said again: "Ruluo Xizhou has just experienced a war. The people are tired and weak. They need to cultivate themselves with the people and have good relations with neighboring countries. This is a fundamental national policy." King Ruluo Xi nodded and said: "Yes, sir, what you said makes sense." Yan Seeing that King Ruluo Xi had a friendly face, Sangzi mentioned his resignation again and said: "I am old and ill. I want to return to my hometown to recuperate. If the king has trouble, I will definitely come back to help him." King Ruluo Xi's expression changed. He said solemnly: "Sir, I have decided to leave." Yan Sangzi said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that I will not be able to share the king's worries in the court in the future. I will be at odds with the courtiers, which is a hidden danger of fighting. Your Majesty, do you know? The left and right prime ministers are at odds with each other in face and heart. The fact that the king can control them now does not mean that the later kings can control them. This is the source of party disputes. The left and right prime ministers each cultivate their own strength. I am afraid that the disaster will come from Xiao Qiang. The king should take precautions as soon as possible. Regarding this, I would like to advise you. The king should transfer the prince back to Yongcheng as soon as possible, and the young prince to Haibin City. The status has been determined, which can stabilize the minds of the ministers. "
