Li Jiqian's room is just himself, there is still Zhang Pu, in fact, when it comes to understanding Li Jiqian, no one is more transparent than Zhang Pu about this person's mind, he knows what Li Jiqian is thinking at this time, and he also knows that Li Jiqian is getting more and more terrible now, it stands to reason that it is impossible to happen if he is not terrible as an emperor. Just like the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty are very terrifying, there are few emperors who can be terrible today, Yelu Longxu and Zhao Guangyi are among the best, and they can also be said to be very terrible emperors? The current Li Jiqian is also equivalent to moving closer to it.

Although Li Jiqian said at this moment that he had thought about his enthronement ceremony, it is impossible to say where he chose to be, from ancient times to the present, the emperor's choice of the imperial capital can be said to be a major event for the country? At this time, Li Jiqian had already made a decision, but he still had to consult Zhang Pu's opinion.

At this moment, Li Jiqian also said to Zhang Pu with a smile: "Zhang Aiqing, now that I am ready to ascend the throne and become emperor, Aiqing, where do you say it is better for me to arrange the capital?" Zhang Aiqing From ancient times to the present, emperors throughout the ages will choose a place with a strong dragon qi as the imperial capital, and I have no choice at this moment, so at this time, I want to ask Zhang Aiqing you, it is better to see where I moved to? ”

In history, God's choice is a big problem, geographically: it must be a riverside, to ensure sufficient water sources, one is to use water for domestic use, and the other is to use water (rivers) to form moats (such as Chang'an, Luoyang, Nanjing, etc.);

Strategically: due to the inconvenience of communication in the past, a lot of information can only be known to the emperor after a long time, especially military and political events, so the national capital is generally built in a war-frequent, but relatively stable place, such as the Qing Dynasty's capital Beijing is mainly to prevent the invasion of the Mongols;

There are many aspects that are secondary, but they must also be taken into account. For example, Qinding's capital Xianyang is due to the stable foundation in Guanzhong; For example, Zhou first set the capital of Haojing and then moved the capital to Luoyi, which was to avoid the disaster of Rong Di. From ancient times to the present, ancient emperors have chosen this way, no matter how history changes, it is impossible for the geographical environment to change?

At this moment, Zhang Pu knew what he meant by asking himself? He wanted to choose a safe place as the location for moving the capital, but now the geographical environment of this place is really not conducive to moving the capital, and it was not easy for him to say it at this time before. Now that Li Jiqian, as the emperor, wants to ask his opinion, how can he not say his opinion?

At this time, Zhang Pu also smiled and said to Li Jiqian: "Your Majesty Weichen thinks that Xiazhou does not have the capital of the dynasty, Your Majesty wants Xiazhou to be accessible in all directions, but the defense is weak, if the forced relocation of the capital is not beneficial to Your Majesty, if the capital is moved to Xiazhou, it can be said that there is no danger to defend, once the enemy attacks here with overwhelming forces, it will definitely not be beneficial to our Great Xia, and if Your Majesty wants to expand the territory, you must first choose a place with imperial spirit as the place to open the country!" If we are now in the Central Plains, we can choose Chang'an or Luoyang, in or Beiping, but now Your Majesty is partial to the west, the land is in the west, and Your Majesty founded the country is Xixia, when the father of the Yu Emperor is also to Xia as the country name, His Majesty is to Yu Queen descendant of self-proclaimed, the natural choice of the location is of course adhering to the will of Yu, the natural choice of the location is just to make people pay attention. Therefore, Weichen believes that Lingzhou is more suitable, Lingzhou is Xiping Mansion, this place, the north controls Heshuo, the south leads to Qingliang, according to the upper reaches of the road, guarding the key points of the west, and the people are accustomed to Chinese style, Shangli and studious and many other advantages, the capital is set in Xiping, Your Majesty, how do you see the capital moved here? Today, we control the territory of present-day Ningxia, northwestern Gansu, northeastern Qinghai, Inner Mongolia, and northern Shaanxi. The Yellow River in the east, Yumen in the west, Xiaoguan in the south, and the desert in the north, covering an area of more than 20,000 miles. It is adjacent to the Xijing Road of the Liao Dynasty in the northeast, and the Song Dynasty is adjacent to the east and southeast. After the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao and Song dynasties, the northeast, east and south of Western Xia were adjacent to the Jin Dynasty. To the south and west of Western Xia were the Tibetan tribes, and the Yellow Uighurs were adjacent to the Western Uighurs. More than two-thirds of the country is desert terrain, and the water source is mainly groundwater formed by the Yellow River and snowwater from the mountains. The Yinchuan Plain, where the capital Xingqing Mansion is located, has Helan Mountain as a barrier in the west and the Yellow River in the east. Therefore, the geographical environment of Daxia is particularly important, so His Majesty Weichen thinks that the national capital is very important, and only by moving the capital to Xiping Mansion can it be better used. ”

Li Jiqian also smiled when he heard his answer, and then said: "What Aiqing said is very reasonable, I have thought about it for a long time and decided to move the capital to Xiping Mansion, Zhang Chengxiang I want to ask you, when did you say that I ascended the throne and where would it be better?" What's more appropriate? Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it! ”

At this time, Li Jiqian's question had already been asked to himself, and he himself was not easy to answer. At this time, he didn't know how to answer, but seeing this person so hungry and thirsty, he himself said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't need to be in a hurry now, because the minister thinks that since His Majesty has decided to move the capital, it is better to choose Xiazhou, Xiazhou is accessible in all directions, we can set him as the base location, Your Majesty, how do you see the location of Weichen this time?" ”

At this time, he Li Jiqian also smiled, and then said to Zhang Pu: "Since this is the case, then do it, then hold it in Jintangmen!" After all, our current location is in Xiazhou, I have thought about it for a long time, so let's arrange it first, and as for other things, I want to do it first! As for the rest, we'll talk about that later. ”

At this time, Zhang Pu also smiled and said that he obeyed the order, but he didn't know that this time the matter was far from being so simple? At this time, Li Jiqian's heart was also enriching the mentality of the emperor.

In fact, Li Jiqian didn't want to move the capital, the imperial capital is not a matter of liking it or not, there are many factors that need to be considered when choosing the imperial capital in ancient times, such as feng shui, safety, transportation, economy, culture, floods, etc., which determines that most emperors choose to be in the north rather than in the south.

First of all, let's talk about feng shui, ancient people are more convinced of feng shui, feel that the quality of feng shui in a place can affect themselves and all things in later generations, as an emperor, the choice of the capital is related to a country's gas number, national fortune, but also to consider their hard work to establish the dynasty for thousands of generations, so we must choose a good feng shui place, and the mountains in the north are higher, many strange people say that this is the gathering place of the dragon vein, so many emperors are located in the north.

The second is the geographical advantage, China's topography is high in the north and low in the south, most of the terrain in the north is mountains and plateaus, condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack, in that era of frequent wars, it is very important to choose a good geographical location, the main threat to the Central Plains at that time is still from the nomadic forces in the north, in the north can use rivers as natural barriers to resist the invasion of the northern nomadic forces, so from the tactical and strategic considerations, the north is the best place.

There is also an economic problem, the Yellow River Basin is the origin of civilization, the land is fertile, the water source is sufficient, so that the population of the north is dense, the talent is abundant, the degree of civilization is higher than the south, the economic center at that time was mostly concentrated in the north, and the south was called a wild land in ancient times, it can be seen that the economy of the south is underdeveloped, and the south is rugged and inconvenient, which will also cause great problems for the transmission of information, so we can see that the north is more suitable as the imperial capital.

The imperial capital has made a good choice, his idea is the whole world, because he himself does not want to move the capital to the southwest, but the land he got is also in the north and west, and the result this time is also unimaginable for him?
