The launch of Chang'an has just started, and it will take time to complete it, and it will definitely not be completed this year.

In addition, the renovation of the old imperial city of Chang'an, Taiji Palace, Daming Palace, Xingqingfang and other places, this year, the capital will be moved back to Luan, which is indeed a bit hasty.

Besides, there is still a war between the Western Front and Tibet, so move the capital at this time? What is Wu Zetian doing when he comes back in a hurry?

He frowned and said, "Such rumors are not enough to be believed. The military situation on the Western Front is urgent, how can it be possible to move the capital at this time? ”

"Really!" Taiping said firmly, "For the matter of moving the capital, the mother emperor did not hesitate to let the three-way army on the western front stagnate for a year and suspend the offensive against Tibet. Heiya Changzhi and Li Duozuo have been temporarily transferred back to Beijing! ”

Taiping frowned and paused slightly: "You say...."

"The mother queen is in such a hurry to return to Chang'an, will it be for the sake of Minzhi's brother?"

"If it is really as Jiulang thinks, Xiao Laodao is in Chang'an, and most of Helan's brothers are also in Chang'an. Moreover, it is likely to be hidden in the Yang family. ”

When Wu Ning heard this, he shook his head slowly, "During the Chinese New Year, Meng Daoye came to Chang'an, he had already sneaked into the Yang Mansion to explore, and the ugly uncle was not in the Yang Mansion. ”

If it weren't for that, Wu Ning wouldn't have to go to Taoyunling anymore.

"Oops!" Taiping stomped his foot, "It doesn't matter if he's in Yang Mansion or not, anyway, he's probably in Chang'an." ”

"You say, did the Queen understand this? That's why you're in a hurry to go back to Chang'an? ”

Wu Ning was silent for a while, and what Taiping said was not unreasonable.

Moving the capital is not a simple matter, let alone Wu Zetian, the emperor, returning to Chang'an, even if the capital is moved.

The three provinces and six ministries, the left and right two ya, hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops, various functional departments, plus the documents and historical manuscripts accumulated by the court for many years, all of which had to be moved to Chang'an with the emperor.

This is a big project, and it must not be sloppy in the slightest, and it will inevitably cause the stagnation of many functional departments.

Wu Ningzhi expected that the rumors were false. That's why.

To know. There is still a war going on in the northwest and southwest, the military situation is changing rapidly, and there is no delay at all, how can it be possible to move the capital at this time?

However, Wu Zetian actually postponed the Tibetan offensive and transferred the commanders of all the armies back to Beijing, just because the capital was moved, which was indeed a bit abnormal.

Whether it was for Helan Minzhi near Chang'an, Wu Ning couldn't say.

Some of the headaches snapped their eyes shut, "Who knows?" Let her go! ”

When Taiping heard this, he was also uneasy, and complained: "This is unreasonable, especially since Tubo still has the intention of attacking Yangguan." If we stagnate, Tibet will inevitably take advantage of the situation and storm it, but the trade routes to the west will not be smooth. ”

looked at Wu Ning, "Whether it's true or not, I think you have to make plans early." ”

"Yangguan?" Wu Ning didn't listen to the second half of the sentence at all, and opened his eyes again.

Secretly frightened in his heart, he muttered: "Tubo wants to fight Yangguan? ”

"That's right!" Taiping was stunned and said, "Isn't it all in the newspaper?" You don't know? ”

I saw Wu Ning shaking his head, he really didn't have an idea.

was stunned on the spot, and kept talking about Yangguan in his heart.

Yangguan ......

Tubo attacked Yangguan.

Shazhou, won't it be affected?

......

"Kuro??"

Wu Ning suddenly went out of his mind unusually, which made Taiping a little suspicious, "You... What's wrong? ”

"Nothing."

Coming back to his senses, Wu Ning calmed down, smiled reluctantly, and said perfunctorily, "Didn't you say that I should make plans early?" I'm wondering how to deal with it! ”

"Oh." Taiping believes that it is true,

"Then think about it!" His face couldn't help but feel lost, "If you don't go to Qinghua Palace, it seems that you are a little less interesting, and you don't want to go to the main palace." ”

Wu Ning smiled, "It's time to go, or to go." Persuaded, "Look at what Bao'er and Lao Shi are looking forward to, if you don't go, you will ruin everyone's interest." ”

"Alright then!" Taiping reluctantly agreed, "This palace will go and ask someone to prepare." ”

glanced at Wu Ning resentfully, and turned around to walk out of the main hall.

Wu Ning sat alone in the hall for a while, thinking about the Tubo attack on Yangguan.

......

Yangguan, as well as Yumen Pass, whether it is in the present world or in the future generations, almost everyone knows and knows about the existence.

First, this is the west gate of the Central Plains.

The distance between the two passes is less than 100 miles in a straight line, and they are held at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains and the Kunlun Mountains.

In the Han Dynasty, the two levels were parallel.

Yangguan chokes the narrow area between the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and the northern foot of the Kunlun Mountains, and is the only way for Khotan and Qiangdi to enter the Central Plains.

The Yumen Pass choked the northwest region at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, mainly to prevent the Xiongnu and the Western Regions.

In the Tang Dynasty, due to the prosperity of the jade trade and the rise of Tubo, Yangguan and Yumen Pass and Shazhou, which were sandwiched between the two passes, formed a situation of two passes and one state, three points and one line.

It is a real iron wall, and it cannot be opened.

Another reason why Yangguan and Yumen Pass are famous all over the world is that too many literati and writers have circulated good sentences because of the two passes.

"The spring breeze does not pass the Yumen Pass...."

"There is no one in the west out of Yangguan...."

Speaking of which, these two sentences are very interesting, one is from the perspective of climate and the other is from the perspective of humanities, each of which shows how remote the two levels are.

The spring breeze is not excessive, which means that the warm and humid air currents originating from the western Pacific Ocean will never reach here.

Therefore, after two levels, it is thousands of miles of Lop Nur and the Taklamakan Desert, known as the Sea of Death.

And "there is no reason to go out of Yangguan in the west"....

The literal meaning is easy to understand, and there are no Han people outside Yangguan.

So why are there no Han Chinese?

Because of Shazhou!

During the Tang Dynasty, he exiled criminal ministers and prisoners to the northwest, and only went as far as Shazhou.

Shazhou City has a sin camp in the westernmost part of the Tang Dynasty, although Wang Wei's poem is to bid farewell to friends, but the meaning of the poem is: Out of Yangguan, you can't even find a criminal who has broken the law.

At this time, what Wu Ning was worried about was this "criminal minister who broke the law".

Shazhou....

Once the sun is not guaranteed, Shazhou will bear the brunt.

The reason why he is so nervous is precisely because there are people he cares about in the sin city camp in Shazhou.

No! Ready to say, there are two waves of people he cares about.

......

"Shazhou can't afford to lose...."Wu Ning muttered to himself blankly.

Thinking of this, Wu Ning went to call Lao Eleven over.

"You go to Shazhou."

"Huh?" Lao Shi was thinking about going to the royal hot springs to enjoy himself, but he didn't think that Wu Laojiu had assigned him such a job.

"Brother Jiu!" Old Eleven was about to cry, "Can't you wait until you come back from Huaqing Palace?" ”

Wu Ning's eyes stood up, "If you want to go, you will go!" What so much nonsense? ”

Old Eleven's face fell, "Okay, okay!" Go for it, right? ”

Old Eleven reluctantly left.

Wu Ning returned to the room, pondered for a long time, and finally unfolded the pen and paper and wrote a notebook.

This recital is about the city construction supervisor assisting the Imperial City Division in renovating the old palace.

Among them, Wu Ning reported the progress of the repair, as well as various employment and capital matters.

In the end, there is a vague mention of what the Tibetans came to commit.

Wu Laojiu suggested that Wu Zetian should postpone the relocation of the capital in order to prevent the false attack of Tubo from becoming real.

He also offered advice: If Tubo really dares to commit a crime, it should shrink its resources and gather the strengths of two passes and one state in one place, so as to ensure that the northwest is not lost.
