Zhao Junsheng sent Zhao Dong away, and the next day he wrote a letter in his own hand, sealed it with fire paint and sent someone to send it to Hua Mulan, who was going south, in the letter he said that the crown prince and prince and princess were canonized, and the matter of moving the capital had been secretly launched, Zhao Dong had gone to Chang'an, and the letter also mentioned that Zhao Ling'er had gone to find her, so that their mother and daughter would go to Chang'an together after they met, and they would not return to Qianjing.

A light rain fell in the sky, and Zhao Junsheng stood under the corridor of the main hall wearing a robe and watched the sky rain non-stop.

After a long time, he shouted, "Someone! ”

The eunuch on duty came over and bowed and said, "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

"Prepare the carriage and horses, I want to leave the palace!"

"Yes!"

Soon, a carriage stopped at the foot of the stone steps outside the hall, and was surrounded by a group of plainclothes imperial guards in oilcloth raincoats.

A eunuch held an oilcloth umbrella, and Zhao Junsheng stepped into the carriage, which was driven by the coachman in the direction of the palace gate.

After leaving the palace, the carriage came straight to Wan Yutong's mansion, and soon stopped in front of Wan Mansion.

The two housekeepers guarding the door saw Zhao Junsheng and immediately bowed, and someone went to inform the housekeeper Wanquan.

Wanquan hurriedly greeted him: "Meet Your Majesty!" ”

"Don't be polite, get up! Can you do it at home? Zhao Junsheng asked as he walked.

Wan Quan immediately got up and chased after him and said, "Your Majesty, Miss has gone to the puja!" ”

Zhao Junsheng stopped and turned his head and asked, "What festival?" ”

"Recently, a Buddhist monk opened the altar to preach the Dharma, and the young lady and a few close friends in the boudoir made an appointment to listen to the monk's teachings!"

"What kind of monk is this?"

Wan Quan shook his head and said: "I don't know, I only know that this senior monk is from the Western Regions, and he looks a little like a Sogdian, what is the name of the law!" ”

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and said to Wanquan: "The temple is full of people, so I won't go, you go, I will wait for Yutong here!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Wanquan brought Zhao Junsheng into the front hall to sit, and ordered someone to bring tea, and left after the arrangements were made.

Half an hour later, Wan Yutong came back in a carriage.

"Why didn't you send someone to say before you came? The eminent monk has just started to speak! Wan Yutong walked to the door of the front hall with an umbrella and complained while shaking off the water droplets on the umbrella.

Zhao Junsheng asked: "What kind of monk and master have such a great attraction to preach the scriptures?" What kind of scripture are you talking about? ”

"Oh, you are a Dharma Protector? He is a high monk from Tianzhu, and he talks about the Mahayana Buddhist scripture "Nirvana Sutra"! ”

Zhao Junsheng was surprised: "Tianzhu high monk Dharma protection? Was this Dharma protector discovered after Shanshanguo had an affair with the princess Mantou Dolin, so he fled to Guzang to be sheltered by Fuqu Mengxun and translated the "Nirvana Sutra" there? ”

Wan Yutong's eyes widened: "No, there is such a thing?" How did I not know? ”

Zhao Junsheng shook his head and said: "This matter is a scandal for Shanshanguo, not many people know about it, I also saw it from the classic records in the palace of Wei, when this happened Emperor Taiwu was still in power, the spies of Wei learned the news and reported it to Emperor Taiwu, and the historian of Wei recorded this matter." Shanshan King Bilong was furious after learning that they were in love, and sent someone to arrest the Fa Hu and put him in prison, and later the princess Mantou Tuolin found an opportunity to secretly let him go, Bi Long learned the news and put the princess under house arrest in a fit of anger, and sent someone to hunt down the Fa Hu, and the Fa Hu fled to Bei Liang! ”

It is difficult for Wan Yutong to accept this situation, she also believes in Buddhism, and admires the Dharma Protector for coming all the way from Tianzhu to Daqian to preach the Dharma, but she didn't expect the Dharma Protector to fall in love with Princess Shanshan, which subverted her cognition.

Zhao Junsheng said, "Okay, just know about this, and don't go to this Dharma protector's lecture conference in the future!" ”

"Hmm!"

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look outside, the rain was still falling, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, he said, "I'm hungry, ask someone to prepare dinner!" ”

"Good!" Wan Yutong got up and walked outside the door and commanded the maid.

When she turned around, she said to Zhao Junsheng: "Recently, I learned a new tune, do you want to listen to it?" ”

Zhao Junsheng got up: "I haven't heard you play a song for a while, and it just so happens that you have learned a new song, so listen to it!" ”

The two came to Wan Yutong's boudoir one after the other, and a piano was placed by the window, Wan Yutong walked to the window and pushed open the window, turned around and said, "You sit down!" ”

Zhao Junsheng asked, "Where am I sitting?" ”

"Sit wherever you want!"

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look left and right, the only stool in the room was sat by Wan Yutong and was about to play the piano, so he had to sit on the edge of the bed.

Wan Yutong's white and tender fingers plucked the strings, and the sound of the ancient charm spread throughout the room.

Zhao Junsheng leaned and closed his eyes, enjoying this rare warmth.

After playing a song, Zhao Junsheng opened his eyes and applauded: "Good song!" How long have you been practicing this song? ”

"Three days!"

"It's great to be able to play like this for three days!"

Then Wan Yutong played two tunes in succession, to be honest, Zhao Junsheng didn't know much about music, and he didn't understand the guqin, but he could listen to it, and he could hear Wan Yutong's mood from the sound of the piano.

During dinner, Zhao Junsheng took a sip of wine and said to Wan Yutong: "Prepare to move!" ”

Wan Yutong was stunned: "What's wrong?" What is a good move? I'm not going to move into the palace! ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "It's not about this, the capital is going to be moved, this matter is still a secret from the outside world, and the only ones who know the news are me, Mulan and a few important ministers!" ”

Wan Yutong said: "This matter of moving the capital, the government and the opposition, and the people in the market have been discussing it for a long time, and I mentioned it once a few years ago, and then it was not resolved, why did I make up my mind this time?" ”

Zhao Junsheng ate a piece of braised beef, "From the perspective of the overall situation, it is inevitable to move, and it will not work if you don't move, otherwise many decisions of the imperial court will not be implemented!" ”

Wan Yutong chewed slowly and asked, "Where to move?" Is it Luoyang or Chang'an? ”

"Chang'an? Chang'an's palace and Qionglou Yuyu are too dilapidated, right? It is still the imperial palace of the Later Qin period, although the fall of the Later Qin Dynasty has only been more than 20 years from now, but the imperial palace is still the imperial palace of the Han Dynasty, and no one has repaired it over the years, but I am afraid that it will be dilapidated for a long time, right? ”

Zhao Junsheng poured a glass of wine and drank it all.

"The city and the palace can be rebuilt, these are not things, as long as the imperial court moves over, other things will be easy to do!"

Wan Yutong was silent for a while, "When are you leaving?" ”

"I'm not in a hurry, there's still half a year to go! I have sent someone to buy you a house in Chang'an and a prosperous shop, if you want to move there as soon as possible, you can do it, if you want to go with me after half a year, it all depends on your own ideas! ”

Wan Yutong shook his head: "It's too hasty to move over in the near future, I have a lot of sisters who have good friendships here, and there are a lot of businesses, how can I just leave?" After three or four months, the weather is hot again, and I can't go, so I can only wait for September to walk with you! ”

In the early morning of the next day, Wan Yutong sent Zhao Junsheng outside the door, "Mulan is not in the palace, you have to take care of yourself, come over when you want to eat!" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "Okay, I know!" ”

The news of the relocation of the capital still spread far and wide, and the officials and people in Qianjing City were worried, and those who had a way to immediately send someone to Chang'an to buy a house as soon as possible, and those who had no way could only sigh.

Since the news of the relocation of the capital spread among the markets, the Qianjing real estate market has a price every day, and many people who speculate in real estate have a large number of houses smashed in their hands and cannot be sold, and their funds have been trapped, so they cannot get rid of them.

For the ministers of the imperial court and people with slightly higher ranks, the relocation of the capital has little impact on their official position and future, but the properties they have purchased over the years will shrink by more than half even if they are taken off.

But those low-level petty officials and petty officials are a little panicked, they can't all move away with the yamen of the imperial court, even if the top boss takes them to Chang'an, they have to buy a new house there, where can they afford to buy a house with their meager salary? can only rent a house to live, since they go, their families will definitely have to go with them, this dragging the family with a mouth, is not much different from fleeing.

It is more than 2,000 miles from Qianjing to Chang'an, and it takes about a month to walk, and if there are old people at home who are not very good, I don't know if they have the life to arrive in Chang'an.

At this day at the court meeting, Mao Xiuzhi asked: "Your Majesty, recently there are rumors in the market that the imperial court is going to move the capital, and it is very popular, the housing prices and prices in the city are changing day by day, and many people are panicking, I don't know if this rumor is true?" If it weren't true, the minister thought that the imperial court would still issue a notice to reassure the people as soon as possible, so that the people could rest assured! ”

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "No need to send it, I can tell you now, move the capital ······ Indeed! ”

"Ahh

Li Yuande stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court wants to move from the perspective of the overall situation, and the ministers also understand and support it!" Your Majesty is going to Chang'an, and the ministers will definitely follow, which is okay; The relocation of the capital must have a great impact on the lives of the people, once the capital is moved, the people of Qianjing City do not have as much income as before, but although the people are anxious, they have nothing to lily, the key is that the petty officials and officials at the bottom below are not very easy to appease, these days they have no heart to deal with official business, and the pressure on the ministers is very great! ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "I have already thought about what you said and made a decision. After the relocation of the capital, the new capital is set in Chang'an, but although the status of Qianjing City will decline, it will not drop too much, it will exist as a companion capital for a long time, I plan to leave a set of six teams here, the six Shangshu and subordinate officials are the same as the Chang'an court, so there are also some officials to take care of here, the six ministers can consider it, draw up a list of officials who stay in Qianjing, at this time there is no need to be too anxious, I plan to officially move to Chang'an in September, there is still half a year! ”
