Chapter 168: Restoration of the Eastern Capital (Middle)

The capital, the foundation of a country, the fundamental firm, the national momentum is prosperous, fundamentally shaken, the country is bound to lose, this is the eternal last word, the news of the repair of Luoyang, the court immediately boiled, the little emperor convened the ministers for the first time, personally wrote the 'Anguo Edict', promulgated the world, Xiao Yu Quartet!

In order to promote the exhibition of things, those Han diehards are also working the one hand, they frequently play the imperial court to create momentum for the restoration of Luoyang, and on the other hand, they have generously donated a lot of property for the purpose of building the city, and even the queen and concubine of the harem have also taken out their private money, especially Princess Haiyan, who donated 100,000 taels of gold, which can be said to be a strong support!

What's even more surprising is that the prime minister, who has always opposed the restoration of Luoyang, after a few days of silence, also gave a recital to the emperor: 'Build the eastern capital, consolidate the country, crusade against the traitors, and secure the society', and transferred 30,000 armor soldiers, as well as a large number of materials, for the repair of Luoyang City, as for the candidates for the unification of the army, it is the two sons of the Cao family - Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi!

Even the prime minister expressed his support, and there was no opposition in the court, and all of a sudden, counties and counties in various places took action to mobilize people, raise food and grass, and have money to contribute, and make a strong contribution.

Things have come to this point, and the princes from all walks of life can't sit still, whether they divide the city or compete for the population, after all, under the banner of the Han Dynasty, they regard themselves as loyal ministers one by one, and now the imperial court wants to repair the eastern capital, and the eyes of the world are gathered here, and they can't pretend to be deaf and dumb!

Whether it is true or not, the princes have made a comeback, praised the matter, and paid some taxes to the imperial court for the purpose of repairing Luoyang, the decaying Han Dynasty finally showed some vitality, but the discerning people can see clearly, this is just a return to the light!

Cao Cao is known as a generation of traitors, so naturally he will not miss the opportunity, and he has found a group of literati and writers to sing praises for himself, and is known as another pillar of the country on a par with Yi Yin and Huo Guang!

At this point, many people have come to understand that the repair of Luoyang City has too many benefits for Cao Cao, and there is one more giant city in the military, which can hoard grain and grass, stabilize the situation, and politically brush up a lot of prestige, and it is easier to order the princes of the Quartet, and it has earned a good reputation, which is really a good hand to play!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"There is an order from the Prime Minister's Mansion to let the two brothers come to assist in the restoration of Luoyang City, and all affairs are under the orders of Da Sima!"

A few days later, the Cao brothers led 30,000 horses to arrive, and after setting up camp, the two came to meet each other and took the initiative to salute and worship!

Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi is the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, with a noble identity and a promising future, even if the three princes and nine Qing meet them, they will also take the initiative to salute, everyone knows in their hearts that in a few years, among the few sons, I am afraid that there will be a real dragon, be polite now, and there will be many benefits in the future, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be a disaster in the future!

This ironclad principle is useful to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, except for Xiao Yi, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, Cao Xiong, and other sons of the Prime Minister's Mansion, as long as they are in front of him, they must take the initiative to salute and greet him, and they are extremely obedient!

In terms of the public, Xiao Yi is the great Sima of the dynasty, holding heavy troops, with extremely high prestige, his wealth is killed by real swords and real guns, great military achievements, iron future, no need to flatter a few sons at all!

Privately, he married the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who is the brother-in-law of the Cao family brothers, not to mention accepting the salute, even if he whips them a few times, it is not a big deal, when the Cao family brothers were sharpened in the army, they enjoyed this kind of 'treatment', which can be described as a deep memory!

"In a few years, you have gradually matured, you must be diligent and hardworking, and work hard, otherwise military law is like a mountain, and you will not be merciful!"

Xiao Yi sat in the big tent, and he didn't mean to get up and salute at all, on the contrary, he also reprimanded with a little black face, and the whip in his hand shook back and forth, full of deterrence!

It's not that he pretends to be rude, he really has a last resort, the Cao family brothers are talented, and the momentum of seizing the crown has been achieved, there must be a dragon and tiger fight, his weight is too heavy, no matter which side he stands on, it will lead to a political earthquake!

In desperation, Xiao Yi had no choice but to be neutral, not to say superfluous words, nor to approach any son, to treat everyone equally, and to speak coldly, so as not to have an adverse impact, until the dust settled, which would be beneficial to both Cao and Xiao!

"Qiqi Da Sima, this is the princess's Chitose plan, my emperor long lived, Luoyang City Repair Map, all projects are marked in detail, please act according to the will!"

In addition to the Cao brothers, the imperial court also sent dozens of officials, including old ministers of the Han family who have gone through several dynasties, as well as skilled craftsmen who are proficient in design, and also brought a thick drawing and several palace models, which are made vividly!

"Huh! …… The imperial city is majestic, the weather is thousands, the palace is like a fairyland, compared to the original Luoyang City, the momentum is still three points, Her Royal Highness the princess is really ingenious! ”

After flipping through a few pages of drawings, Xiao Yi couldn't help but praise it, he never thought that this woman still had such skills, and then in front of everyone, she tore the drawings a few times, and her hands were afraid of it, and the fragments in the sky were scattered in the wind......

"Torn? …… Really torn! …… Da Sima spares his life, the subordinates are just acting on orders! ”

Looking at the flying confetti, all the officials were dumbfounded, and immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, this is a drawing drawn by Her Royal Highness the Princess, it was torn to shreds like this, and the ghost-faced Xiao Lang was bold, this is a big crime of disrespect!

"You don't have to be afraid, it's just a matter of repairing a city, why bother Her Royal Highness the Princess, we as subordinates should work hard for him...... If you blame it, I will bear everything alone! ”

Xiao Yi's preparation to repair Luoyang City is a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, and no one must let anyone ruin the plan, not Her Royal Highness the Princess, nor can the Emperor Laozi!

"No! …… The subordinates obeyed Da Sima's military orders and did not dare to disobey them slightly! ”

Everyone bowed again, and there was no one who objected, Her Royal Highness the princess is powerful, this 'killing god' is even more difficult to provoke, offended the former, but the official dismissal is just a matter of offending the latter, and it will be difficult to protect the head of his own neck, whichever is less!

If you want to build a capital, you can't do it without an overall plan, the drawings sent by the imperial court are torn, so you can draw a copy yourself, thinking of this, Xiao Yi took the pen and ink, and in the big tent of the Chinese army, he began to conceive of Luoyang City in his heart, a different Oriental imperial capital!

In his previous life, he was a liberal arts man, failed the drawing exam six times in a row, and had no experience in building cities, but no, he couldn't create anything, we can copy it, Xiao Yi was born in the capital of the Celestial Empire, a famous thousand-year-old city, and he can completely copy it by relying on his memory......

"The quadrangular giant city, divided into inside and outside, nine gates distributed, each useful, a central axis, symmetrical left and right, the size of the market, exactly the same, the streets are connected, horizontal and vertical, the direction is clear, the street signs point to, even if you first arrive, never get lost......"

Two hours later, a giant city construction map, appeared in front of everyone, magnificent, solemn and neat, compared to the graphics designed by Princess Haiyan, no matter the aesthetics, practicality, are more than a few chips, those Han diehards also have to admit that if it can be built successfully, this is the first giant city in ancient and modern times!

With it, everyone's admiration for Xiao Yi is also soaring all the way, especially the fourth prince Cao Zhi, who almost knelt on the ground to learn art, everyone knows that Xiao Langwen can chant poems against him, and Wu can go into battle to kill the enemy, but he didn't expect that the design of the city is also first-class, what a genius!

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the design of the drawings, the new Luoyang City is fully functional, perfectly defended, and accommodates a population of more than one million, it is definitely the largest giant city in the world, and the first construction is ......"

After enjoying the adoring gaze of everyone, Xiao Yi hung up the drawings high, waved the stick with his sword, and began to explain in detail the design and commemoration of the new Luoyang City, as well as the progress of the project!

According to the normal order, to build the capital of a country, first plan the imperial city palace, then the arsenal, granary, official residence, then the streets, the market, the city wall, the river ......, and finally the people's residential area, which can only be placed in a remote corner!

The city designed by Xiao Yi is just the opposite, the first to start construction is the residential area, to ensure that the common people have a place to live, followed by the inner and outer city walls, used to defend against the enemy's attack, and finally the official yamen, the number is not much, that is, barely office, as for the imperial city and the imperial garden, there is no design on the drawings at all, but a large blank area is left!

The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light...... This is Xiao Yi's design concept, the purpose of repairing Luoyang City is to form a complete defense system with Xuchang in the east and Chang'an in the west to control the Central Plains, as for the rise and fall of the Liu family, it is not considered!

"Da Sima is a scholar and a celestial, and the city system designed by him is flawless, and the officials are also very impressed...... However, dare to ask how the palace where His Majesty lives, how to build it? ”

After hesitating for a long time, everyone finally pretended to have the courage and asked questions, there is no imperial palace in the capital of a country, this is too much to say, right?

"Such a magnificent Luoyang City, it will not be able to be built in a while and a half, let's build the houses and city walls first, as for the imperial city, someone will come to build it in the future!"

Yat looked at the design drawings and decided on a timeline in his mind...... Twenty years from now, a new king will come to the city to fill the remaining void!
