Chang'an City, since the Anshi Rebellion, has been broken by aliens, rogues, and rebellious armies several times, and has been burned no less than 100 times, and it has long ceased to be prosperous.

Although Zhao Kuangyin has been operating here for a few years, Chang'an has recovered a little, but that's all, it is far inferior to the famous mansions, not to mention Bianliang in Beijing and Yangzhou in Nanjing.

However, Qi Tianzi recovered Chang'an City, and then renamed it Xi'an Mansion and established it as Xijing.

Chang'an has long been unsuitable for the national capital, Mo said that this ancient city has been destroyed by the great injury, in fact, in the late Tang Dynasty, Chang'an as the capital, a huge scale of super population, to mobilize resources from all over the world to feed a large number of officials, military and civilians, even food, although the land in Guanzhong is fertile, but to feed the world's most extravagant mass of officials and nobles, but also simply powerless, in the event of a natural disaster, it is necessary to use a lot of manpower and material resources to transport food from afar, not to mention other necessary consumer goods.

The convenience of Chang'an Caoyun is far inferior to that of Bianjing.

However, the location of Chang'an City is crucial to the operation of the Western Regions.

Since the Tang Dynasty, basically the Western Regions have been out of control, and the real Han dynasty has never really controlled the Western Regions, making the Silk Road the swan song of the Han family, but has become the world of Arabs, *** people, etc.

The decline of Chang'an City and the eastward shift of the political and military center of the Central Plains have a lot to do with this.

Because of this, Lu Ning established Chang'an, or today's Xi'an, as the capital of Xijing.

As long as there is no need to feed the huge bureaucratic and aristocratic class, Guanzhong may not become the starting point and central city of trade between the Central Plains and the Western Regions again in the future.

……

The palace of the Lord of Zhou in Xi'an Mansion has naturally become the palace of Qi Tianzi.

Of course, today's Xi'an Imperial Palace is no longer the Daming Palace of the past, but a small palace built on the burned site.

Zhao Kuangyin Huazhou was defeated, returned to Xi'an and fled west without stopping at all, and then arrived in front of the Qi Tianzi Palace to recover Xi'an.

Now the army in front of the palace has been repaired here for more than half a month.

The Hezhong Army swept away the remnants of Zhao Kuangyin in Qin, and heard that Zhao Kuangyin gathered the remnants and gathered the soldiers and civilians who were willing to go west with him, and began his thousand-mile escape, and the goal was naturally that he had already moved to Qingtang City, which was developed by the military and civilians.

Therefore, the speed of the surrender of the Qindi state capital is extremely fast, such as Yaozhou, Fangzhou, Danzhou, Yanzhou and so on in the north of Xi'an, the Qi army did not go at all, and the Hezhong army swept to the west and northwest at the fastest speed, and these state capitals in the north of Xi'an, there was no trace of the Qi army, and they had taken the initiative to change their flags and surrender.

Of course, there are also diehards, such as Ningzhou, which is now besieged by the Hezhong Army, and Wang Jiao, the assassin, refused to surrender.

Wang Dayan's 5,000 Shenwei army has already recovered Fengxiang Mansion, and the good news has just arrived, and Fengzhou also opened the door to surrender when the Shenwei army came to the city.

Lu Ning had just ordered him to go south to Xingyuan Mansion.

That is, to take Hanzhong and open the gateway of Shu.

The battle between the Qin army and the Shu army in Shu is unknown, and the military report from yesterday is that the Qin army has been trapped in Chengdu City for several days.

However, the road is far away, and I don't know what the situation of the two sides is now, after all, the news of Zhao Kuangyin's defeat and escape to the west should have reached the Qin army camp under the city of Chengdu.

But in any case, with Xingyuan Mansion just occupied and plundered by the Qin army, and now the news of the defeat of the Qin King has arrived, the Qin army of Xingyuan Mansion must be panicked, and Wang Dayan led the mighty army to conquer its city.

Although there was an alliance with Shu, he couldn't blame himself for entering Shu and recovering the state capital where thieves and soldiers were raging.

As he was pacing and thinking in the hall, the voice of a soldier came from outside the hall: "Your Majesty, King Yin of Xijing Mansion asks to see Your Majesty." ”

Lu Ning snorted, "Come in." ”

Wang Pu was a jinshi in the Later Han Dynasty, who entered the center at a young age, and after several dynasties, he was only forty this year.

This prime minister of the early Song Dynasty in history is now entrusted with an important task by Lu Ning and appointed as the Yin of Xijing Mansion.

In fact, before entering Qindi, Lu Ning had already planned how to plan Qindi, and the governor of Shaanxi Province and Xijing Mansion Yin had already had a candidate in mind.

Shaanxi Province is located in Fengxiang Mansion, the governor is Fan Qian, and Yin of Xijing Mansion is Wang Pu, all of whom are ministers of Lao Cheng, who are used to pacify the local stability and stabilize people's hearts, and are very suitable candidates.

Shaanxi Provincial Governance Office is not located in Xi'an Mansion, because in the Luning plan, Zhucheng is similar to a municipality directly under the central government, under the central management, if it is set as a local capital, it is easy to cause local weight, you are okay, if you are not there, you will bury hidden dangers in the future.

What's more, the three major escort capitals all have their own unique functions, and the center must use great efforts to operate, and it is naturally the best to directly govern it.

It is set up as a companion capital, just for the direct jurisdiction.

The original Xijing Luoyang has been reduced to Luoyang Mansion, went to accompany the capital, and now the three directly under the central government are Beijing Daimyo Mansion, Nanjing Yangzhou Shuntian Mansion, Xijing Xi'an Mansion.

The Daimyo Mansion is a military town, which is assigned to the Naori Province, and the entire Naori Province was originally directly under the central government.

Nanjing Shuntianfu, the starting point of the Grand Canal, is also the starting point of shipping, and the economy and trade are extremely developed.

The administrative office of Jiangdong Province is located in Xiongzhou, not far from Yangzhou.

Xi'an Mansion in Xijing, in Luning's concept, will be the starting point of the land Silk Road and an important military town in the northwest.

The Fu Yin of the three major escort capitals has also been promoted to the second rank, and is at the same level as the governors of the provinces.

Now Yin Wangpu of Xijing Mansion came to see him, but he came to report that Xi'an Bochai Zongrang had already set off and went to Bianjing.

When the army in front of the palace embraced the Holy Son of Heaven into the palace, the seven-year-old Chai Zongrang hid under the bed in the palace and shivered.

Obviously, Zhao Kuangyin fled westward, and felt that it was meaningless to take this so-called young master with him again, so he simply stayed and disgusted Lu Ning.

But now for Lu Ning, in fact, it doesn't matter what Chai Zongrang does.

Of course, Chai Zongrang did not "disappear" in the chaos, and the next day, Lu Ning ordered him to restore his surname Chai, named him Xi'anbo, and moved him to Bianjing.

In addition, there was something that made Lu Ning laugh.

Zhao Kuangyin's eldest daughter, Princess Zhaoqing, did not escape in Xi'an City, and her relatives and servants were afraid of being implicated, so they secretly came to the Qi army camp to report that she was caught.

According to the servant's confession, when Zhao Kuangyin fled west, Princess Zhaoqing happened to be playing at a relative's house, but was not in the palace of King Qin, so she was stranded in Xi'an and captured.

It seems that Zhao Kuangyin has long stopped taking Chai Zongrang as a dish, and he has not made him Zen Rang even too lazy to behave, but he has to fight against Qi State, so he has not had time to abolish this young master, Zhao Kuangyin's first few daughters died, and now this eldest daughter is actually named a princess, Chai Zongrang is the master of Zhou, where is there still a sense of existence?

Speaking of which, Lu Ning and Yongning chatted, and the two of them once jokingly talked about what would happen if they caught Er Zhao's daughter? The topic was provoked by Yongning.

According to the old customs of the former Sui and Tang dynasties, the princesses of the old country are usually filled into the harem, at the very least, they are also matched into the clan. First, to ration the subjects, who would dare to ask for them? If it is after the lord of the old dynasty descends, those descendants who do not have the princess are fine, but with the princess, their father did not descend, and he did not die. Now it is the emperor's marriage, but in the future, it is uncertain when it will be used as a talking point by political opponents, attacking his intention to rebel against the princess of the previous dynasty; Second, the Son of Heaven is afraid that he will really wonder if the courtiers who married the princess of the old dynasty will have two hearts from now on; Third, the princess of the old dynasty was filled into the harem, and she was also the heart of the subjects of the old country; Fourth, this is also the embodiment of the Holy Son of Heaven's conquest of the four seas.

Yongning said that although Zhao Kuangyin is not the lord of the country, but he is in charge of the country, if His Majesty conquers Qin, his family members are arrested, and one of his eldest daughters is also over ten years old, His Majesty should be in the harem.

Er Zhao's daughter, the only one who is over ten years old is this Princess Zhaoqing, and she is just over ten years old.

But now, I just caught Princess Zhaoqing.

After thinking about it, Lu Ning still accepted Princess Zhaoqing into the palace according to what Yongning said.

However, Lu Ning only named her a nobleman, that is, the third-to-last concubine, because Zhao Kuangyin was already regarded as a rogue in the temple of Qi State, a king of thieves, the daughter of a king of thieves, if she hadn't been named a princess by the titular Lord of Zhou, her official identity was the princess of Zhou instead of the daughter of Zhao Kuangyin, and it was nothing to cut off her head.

Now this little nobleman of the Zhao family is also escorted back to Bianjing today, and the Xi'an Bo convoy all the way.

However, Lu Ning never saw her from beginning to end, and he didn't want to see her much in the future.
