Chapter 797: Moving the capital to Chang'an
On the first day of September, Zhao Junsheng held a court meeting in Qianjing for the last time, which was a large court meeting, and more than 120 officials attended the court meeting.
At this court meeting, Zhao Junsheng inquired about the preparations for the relocation of the capital, and then arranged the order of the relocation of the various yamen of the imperial court.
Mao Xiuzhi had been appointed by Zhao Junsheng two months ago to stay in Qianjing, and he was in charge of the six departments left in Qianjing.
At the end of the court meeting, Zhao Junsheng asked: "Mao Xiuzhi, have the personnel of the six left-behind officials been determined?" ”
"It's confirmed, the list of people who stayed behind is here!" Mao Xiuzhi replied and took out a thick notebook.
The eunuch stepped forward and took the list and turned around and handed it to Zhao Junsheng, Zhao Junsheng took it and opened it and read it briefly, and handed it to the Hanlin scholar: "Transcribe two copies, one is left in the palace for archiving, and the other is handed over to the Chang'an Imperial Court Shangshutai for archiving!" ”
"Yes!"
Zhao Junsheng looked at the hundreds of military officials in the main hall and said: "Tomorrow morning, my imperial drive will set off first, and the yamen of all ministries will set off in turn the next day according to the order I arranged just now, and no one shall disturb the people on the way, and no one shall ask the local government for money, food and other materials under any pretext, if the things needed are not enough, you can spend money to purchase them from the towns along the way, and the money spent will be recorded and reimbursed in this yamen!" ”
"In addition, the decree of the Chuan Dynasty will be given to the local governments along the way, and no additional taxes or assessments shall be levied on the local people in the name of moving the capital, the imperial driver, and the yamen of the imperial court departments through the need for resettlement, and once discovered, they will all be dismissed and investigated!"
"Yes!"
Early in the morning of the second day of the ninth lunar month, Zhao Junsheng practiced martial arts for an hour, and after breakfast, when he changed his clothes, he summoned the eunuch and asked, "Is Suiyangjun here?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, I haven't come yet, but the minions have already sent someone to urge!"
After Zhao Junsheng was ready, he got into the carriage in front of the main hall, the dragon guards escorted the royal car, and the eunuchs and palace maids lined up to follow all the way to the palace gate.
When Zhao Junsheng arrived outside the palace gate, Wan Yutong's carriage was already waiting there.
After listening to Zhao Junsheng's instructions, a eunuch walked to Wan Yutong's carriage and saluted: "Suiyangjun, Your Majesty please ride with you!" ”
Wan Yutong hesitated, got out of the carriage and came to Zhao Junsheng's royal carriage.
"Why are you still squirming when I asked you to come and ride together?" Zhao Junsheng asked with a smile.
Wan Yutong glanced at him, "Do you still want to avoid suspicion?" Open the window! ”
Zhao Junsheng had no choice but to open the windows on both sides and instructed the eunuchs outside: "Tell Cao Jiao that you can go!" ”
"No!"
After Cao Jiao got the order, he waved his hand: "Let's go!" ”
The procession moved slowly, and the carriage shook slightly.
Zhao Junsheng gestured to the eunuch in the carriage, and the eunuch took out two glass cups and a bottle of red wine from the inner cabinet of the carriage, poured two glasses, and placed them on the low table in front of Zhao Junsheng and Wan Yutong.
Zhao Junsheng raised his wine glass and said to Wan Yutong: "This is Huangzhuang making wine from the grapes he grows, taste it!" ”
Wan Yutong picked up the glass cup and took a sip, "Well, it's not bad!" How long will it take us to get to Chang'an? ”
"About twenty days, if the weather is good, it can arrive in about twenty days, if the weather is bad, it may take a month!"
"Where to stay at night? Pitch a tent in the wild? ”
"Not sure, maybe camping in the wilderness, maybe in town! For the sake of safety, the route of the march was not determined before the departure, everything was decided on an ad hoc basis, and the number of miles to march each day was decided by Cao Jiao! ”
At first, he could sit in the carriage for half a day, but in the afternoon, he felt bored if he continued to sit in the carriage, Wan Yutong returned to his carriage to sleep, and Zhao Junsheng got out of the carriage and rode a horse to walk with the cavalry.
The temperature in September is not as high as in July and August, but it is still very hot, under the scorching sun, the guards are sweating one by one, and they have to find a cool place to rest and drink water every hour.
On the way, there were a few afternoons, the royal car could not go on the road, could only rest in place, wait for the road to dry before setting off, all the way to stop and stop, at the end of September, the royal car arrived in Chang'an.
Outside Chang'an City, Pei Jin, Liang Lian, Dongfang Chen and other general ministers, military generals, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and tens of thousands of Chang'an people were greeted outside Chang'an City.
For the people of Chang'an, the relocation of the capital to Chang'an by the Qianguo and the arrival of the imperial driver will surely make Chang'an develop rapidly and give the residents of Chang'an more opportunities to make money.
"The son of the emperor to meet his father!" The crown prince Zhao Dong stood at the front of the ministers and saluted Zhao Junsheng on the royal carriage.
Zhao Junsheng pulled the window and stretched out his hand and shook it: "Let's all be flat!" Prince, what about your mother and two younger sisters? ”
"Back to my father, behind the scenes, my sisters and sisters are waiting for my father outside the palace!"
Zhao Junsheng: "Okay, let's drive into the city!" ”
After a year of repair, the walls and palaces of Chang'an City have restored some of the imperial capital, and houses are still being built in various parts of the city, which are all planned as a whole.
On the way, Zhao Junsheng summoned Pei Jin and Zhao Dong into the carriage.
"Now the pattern of Chang'an City is much smaller than that of Qianjing, right?"
Pei Jin replied: "Yes, the current Chang'an City was built on the original site of Chang'an City in Later Zhao, and the layout is not only smaller than Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty, but also cannot be compared with Qianjing. However, we are expanding outward, in the next ten years, the entire Chang'an City will at least reach the scale of Qianjing City, by then, the current Chang'an City is the inner city, and the outward expansion is the outer city! ”
Zhao Junsheng nodded: "The country must have the atmosphere and new atmosphere of the national capital, the expansion of Chang'an City should be put on the agenda as soon as possible, the expropriation of farmland outside the city should try to appease the landlords, and the arrears of compensation should be enough, you and the prince are responsible for this matter!" ”
"Obey the order!"
It didn't take long for the royal driver to arrive outside the palace gate, Hua Mulan was holding the hand of her youngest daughter, and next to her was her second daughter Zhao Ling'er.
After a greeting and greetings, everyone entered the imperial city together.
This is the third time Zhao Junsheng has come to Chang'an, and it is also the first time to enter the imperial city, the former imperial city has long been in ruins, and this imperial city has also been rebuilt from the ruins of the later Zhao Imperial City.
There is also a Taiji Hall in the Chang'an Imperial Palace, where Zhao Junsheng was worshiped by the courtiers.
"These days, whether it is the Qing family who arrived in Chang'an to prepare for the construction of a new capital, or the Qing family who came to Chang'an with me, they are tired, today all the Qing family will go to settle down and have a good rest! Aiqing, who came with me from Qianjing, and the accompanying officials of various ministries took a three-day break, and after three days, the officials began to go on duty, and the main officials of the six ministries of the three provinces and other yamen directly under the imperial court were restored! ”
"Yes, thank you for your grace!"
"Retreat!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
Zhao Junsheng came to the inner palace under the guidance of the eunuch, Hua Mulan and her children had already prepared a meal and waited, and the family happily ate a reunion dinner.
After eating, Zhao Junsheng took Zhao Dong to the imperial study, and the eunuch made tea for the father and son.
"My father is on the way to Chang'an during this period of time, and he has decreed that you will handle the chapter and all government affairs, and you can tell your father what happened during this time!"
Zhao Dong reported: "Erchen thinks that there are two things that need to be reported to his father, and the other things are not a big deal. These two pieces are the first is that Fuqu Wushi led the army from Shanshan to kill Gaochang, Gaochang Taishou Kan Shuang fled to Rouran, and Fuqu Wushu founded a country in Gaochang, which was for Gaochang Beiliang; The second thing is that the lieutenant and the general Chang Kun sent someone to send the song, saying that the Tuyuhun people destroyed the party people, and slaughtered the old and weak of the party people, and then the two generals sent troops, and the general Chang provided logistical support as a backup, and the general led an army of 20,000 to attack the Tuyuhun Bailan area, and Shiyin led the army to meet the battle, and was killed by the general and defeated the Tuyuhun people, and another younger brother of Shiyin, Fuyang, took the remnants of 5,000 people to protect the 100,000 Tuyuhun old and weak to move west, and was caught up by the captain's army on the way west, Fuyang with 10,000 young men and women abandoned 100,000 old and weak to speed up the westward migration, the 100,000 Tuyuhun people old and weak on the way to the west froze to death and starved to death, dead and wounded, more than 10,000 people in Fuyang lost more than 2,000 people on the way to the west, they finally entered the Western Regions to the direction of Khotan, the general Wei led the troops to chase to the foot of the mountain in front of the Western Regions, because of the problem of logistics and supply had to choose to return! ”
After listening to Zhao Dong's story, Zhao Junsheng asked, "Where are Chang Kun and the army of Wei and his family now?" ”
"It's still in the West Sea!" Zhao Dong replied, "Erchen thinks that since the war on the other side of the West Sea has ended, should he transfer the two armies back to rest?" ”
Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and said, "Father, think about it." Anything else? ”
"There's one thing······ It is reported that it was because General Wei and his family ordered to rob the 100,000 Tuyuhun old, weak, sick and disabled food that they were all buried on the plateau, and many ministers in the DPRK and China impeached General Wei and his cruelty and unkindness, and demanded that he be removed from his military post and sent to prison for questioning! ”
"During this time, the courtiers of Chang'an had different opinions on this matter, the matter of the captain's family ordering the snatching of the 100,000 Tuyuhun old, weak, sick and disabled food should be true, this can't be hidden, as long as you send someone to verify it in the captain's army, you can know the truth or falsehood, and the minister who impeached him will not be so unwise! Now some of the ministers think that the actions of the lieutenants are harmful, if the 100,000 Tuyuhun people are the army, he is justified in doing so, but those people are not the army, they are ordinary herdsmen and ordinary people, which is tantamount to slaughtering the people! ”
"There are also some ministers who think that the captain is not guilty, since we and Tuyuhun are enemies, then there are no innocents, the captain just ordered to rob them of their food, and did not kill them directly, this has given them a chance to live, but they themselves did not seize it, this can't be blamed on the captain!"
Zhao Junsheng asked, "What do you think?" How do you think this should be handled? ”
"Erchen's opinion is the same as that of the ministers who impeached the captain's family, and Erchen thinks that this wind cannot be long, and the imperial army is a righteous army, and it can't do this kind of unrighteous thing, which will only be criticized!"
Zhao Junsheng didn't say anything after hearing this, and said to Zhao Dong: "Okay, you go back!" ”
"That'······ The Ministers' Impeachment of the Captains······"
"I'll deal with this matter, you go back!"
