On the other hand, Liu Rengong, the king of Yan, encountered the god of war Li Cunxiao in Weizhou. Although Li Cunxiao has few soldiers and horses. But it's only in order. Although Liu Rengong attacked the city unfavorably. But it is a general. didn't let Li Cunxiao catch his flaws. The tide of battle has become uncertain.

Jinyang City. Li Cunqiao appointed Zhou Dewei as the commander. North out of Yanmen Pass. Crusade against the Khitan. There was no news yet.

Duan Mingyu was sitting under a big tree at the moment. There was a leisurely chair under the tree. There is a stone table next to it. Wang Aiqing stood by his side. A Confucian shirt. It looks gentle and elegant. Wang Aiqing stared at the Miyagi complex opposite. Cornice bucket arch against a background of a clear blue sky. Said thoughtfully: "The emperor will do as the prince wishes. Moved the capital to Luoyang?"

Duan Mingyu passed the teacup from the low table beside him. Take a shallow sip. Said lightly: "Do your best. Leave it to fate. I'm only 40% sure."

Wang Aiqing's eyes flashed with surprise. Duan Mingyu glanced at him. Said: "How. You don't think it's going to be possible."

Wang Aiqing shook her head again and again. "No. The subordinates are feeling. to influence the decisions of an emperor. And it's such a big thing as moving the capital. Can be forty percent sure. It's unimaginable. Subordinates are worried. It's just because Luoyang's luck has been cut off this year. Impact on Kyoto's grain reserves this winter. The emperor will intend to move the capital. Although there is a risk of drought in Guanzhong. Luoyang is still in danger of flooding. It's not perfect. In that year, Wu Zetian moved the capital to Luoyang. In the end, before he died, he didn't give an order, and he was all in Chang'an."

Duan Mingyu said: "Of course it's not because of this one thing. It's not just because of the appearance of one or a few things that the problem suggests. It's some of the truth that comes out of it."

Wang Aiqing said leisurely: "From the three emperors and five emperors to the present. If we take a closer look at the locations chosen as capitals by various dynasties. We'll find out. There are traces of them. Pan Geng Qianyin. It's because the land is rich. It is easy to raise food and grass. One more. By moving the capital. It is convenient for him to weaken the strength of the nobility of the old capital. The third is to stay away from alien territories. Stabilize his rule.

King Ping of Zhou moved his capital to Luoyi. It's because of the rebellion of the dog that made the pickaxe yang dilapidated. Moreover, the dog Rong is still eyeing the side. It is safe to move the capital. And Emperor Wei Xiao moved the capital. One is to stay away from the threat of nomadism in the north; The second is to move the capital from Pingcheng to Luoyang. Agriculture is thriving. It is convenient to transport. It can also get rid of the intertwined power of the northern Xianbei aristocracy. for smooth change

Learn from the past. The emperor chose the capital. There are four aspects to the problem of consideration. One is geography, the second is economic, the third is military, and the fourth is politics. Geographically. Although there are droughts in Guanzhong from time to time. However, the flood caused even more harm to the capital. If the flood is bigger. Flooded the city of Luoyang. How you can imagine the consequences. Although Luoyang has the advantage of luck. In terms of advantages, we can only barely draw with Chang'an.

Speaking of the economy. From the Warring States period to the present day. Shandong, Guanzhong, are the most developed areas of agriculture and industry. How about the future. There is no way to know. Now for that. Only these two places. Among the threes. There are Khitan in the northeast and Turks in the west. Fit for the national capital. Only Chang'an and Luoyang."

Duan Mingyu took over the conversation and said, "Military above. With the strength of our army. There is not much difference between Lidu and Chang'an or Luoyang. Then the main determining factor is only politics. Guanzhong is where the roots of our dynasty are located. After many dynasties. At that time, Wu Zetian moved the capital to Luoyang for only ten years. The center of gravity of this dynasty is still in Guanzhong. If there is a loss in the off. Then the country is in danger. You see, although the empress moved the capital to Luoyang. Always pay attention to Guanzhong. The national government and military customs occupy only three percent. But all those who are ordered by Chang'an. must be Wu Zetian's henchman. You can know how the emperor has always attached importance to Guanzhong. But think about it. Now His Majesty is working hard. Want to get rid of some of the old rules. There is only one way to move the capital. Although Luoyang is in danger of flooding. But that's not the problem. I believe that future generations will slowly solve this problem. Chang'an is biased towards Guanzhong. But now Datang can't be in a safe corner. Only to Luoyang. In order to better control the world. Under the rule of the Son of Heaven. It's not just Shannan Guanzhong. Now the advantage is already on our side. As long as His Majesty moves the capital to Luoyang. I have faith. In twenty years...... No. Within ten years. Flatten the world's feudal towns. Give me back a good look. Far from it. Let's just say now. Except for one in Guanzhong. How many big corruption cases have been in the world. None of these questions are in Kannai. These recent emperors of the Tang Dynasty do not want to forge ahead. The world has been gradually left behind. Chang'an is better under his nose. But once you look at the other ways of the world. The rulers have corrupted Jos. The land outside Tongguan has become like this. You think the emperor can rest assured. Why did the emperor ascend the throne this time without a large number of re-election of local officials. I didn't leave this to the officials. There has been a delay in sending officials to fill the vacant positions of magistrates. It is not up to the ministry to elect a general officer. But I considered them one by one and considered them again. He personally selects people for every important position. Hehe. Some people still think that this time they can go up and down. Grab the official position. But I don't want to think about it. All they could keep an eye on was a few posts. Sitting on the throne of the emperor is from the perspective of the emperor. How will their thoughts and desires be as they wish? Luoyang Zhudao is so important. As long as you have the intention of moving the capital. How can you be careless? In particular, several state roads in Luoyang are guarded. It must be taken by someone who is at ease. In time. Luoyang is comparable to the topography of Chang'an. Safety doesn't have to be worried. and more control over the world. Datang's strength must be improved by several grades. Hehehe......."

"Of course. That's right. We're just taking advantage of the situation to propose. The Emperor listened to it. These questions come to mind. As for how he ended up choosing. That's not something we can control."

Wang Aiqing said convincingly: "The prince has a word. Ordered his subordinates to open suddenly. So it seems. Seven Princes. Ahem. Your Majesty does have a good reason to move the capital."

Duan Mingyu looked at the clear blue sky. Just move the capital. Datang, the immature eagle, can slowly spread its wings and fly high. The richness of Chang'an has worn away his wildness. Only the policy of moving the capital was successfully implemented. In order to resolve the crisis of Datang. Your Majesty. You have to see clearly. You have to see it clearly.

Jinyang City. Li Cunqiao said indignantly: "Yelu Abaoji is really a big appetite. I also made a brotherhood covenant with my father, the king. Now he turns his face and doesn't recognize people. It fell into the ground. I want to eat our Hedong in one bite. 300,000 troops. 300,000. Basically, it is already the entire strength of the Khitan. It's a good idea. What a scheming."
