Chapter 429: Moving the capital to Guanzhong and setting Chang'an
At the beginning, Liu Bang mistakenly worshipped Wei Bao as a general, so that Han Xin did not send troops to rescue Xingyang in time, and then there was the King of Qi incident, these two things can be said to have had a profound impact on Liu Bang, so that they could not be forgotten for a long time.
Therefore, on the above two things, Liu Bang wanted to talk to Han Xin to relieve the tense atmosphere, on the same day, Liu Bang personally prepared tea, and Han Xin also came as promised, at that time Han Xin was already the king of Qi.
Liu Bang came up and asked: "Today's decision is that the public is for the country, and it is really loyal, but I don't know how to lead the troops, and I ask the general to give advice." ”
Han Xin bowed slightly, and did not have too much defense, and said very directly: "Those who lead troops need to be based on the book of soldiers, read it extensively, and then apply it to practice. ”
"Oh, I see, since the general said so, then the general thinks I can lead the troops to fight on the battlefield?" Liu Bang asked respectfully.
Han Xinzhong thought for a while, and said quite confidently: "The king has lived in the military camp for a long time, and he has been accompanied by soldiers all the year round, and he knows a little about military books, so it should not be a problem to lead 100,000 soldiers. ”
"I can lead 100,000 troops, which is already a lot, I don't know how much the general can lead troops himself, can you tell me?" Liu Bang then said that Han Xin had already participated in the Battle of Jingcheng and the Battle of Weishui at this time, so he said to Liu Bang: "The minister is different from the king, and if he leads troops to fight, the more the better." ”
Liu Bang listened to it and smiled, "The general is really a great talent, I really admire it." ”
It was this conversation that made Liu Bang even more uneasy about Han Xin, the reason is very simple, although you are not rebelling at present, but you currently have the ability to rebel, this is a hidden danger and must be removed, but due to the concern of Lu Yan and Han Xin, Liu Bang did not do anything, so he summoned Lu Yan and Zhang Liang to discuss.
Gossip is little, the three of them decided that night, Liu Bang wanted to seal Han Xin as the king of Chu, but everything was undecided, the hundred officials did not divide the seal, Xiao He also rushed back from Liyang, and told Liu Bang that the palace should be built, and then divided.
After all, now Liu Bang, as the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, how can he only live in the palace room of his predecessors, so he summoned famous painters and city builders in the city to make two palace design drawings, namely Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace.
Xiao He looked at the drawings and was about to build, but was stopped by one person, this person was Lou Jing, he suggested that Xiao He Mo should start construction, because he wanted Liu Bang to move the capital, Xiao He naturally didn't believe it, so he asked him what he said.
That Lou Jing pretended to be mysterious and didn't speak at all, Xiao He was an honest man, so he introduced him to Liu Bang's side, when Lou Jing saw Liu Bang, Liu Bang thought that Lou Jing was going to talk about something big, so he treated him with courtesy.
Liu Bang took a sip of warm tea and asked, "What is the so-called matter when the public comes to Luoyang?" ”
Lou Jing persuaded Liu Bangdao: "Your Majesty built the capital Luoyang, is it to try to prosper with the Zhou Dynasty?" Liu Bang was also unambiguous, and said very cheerfully: "That's true, the prosperity of the world's great powers is beyond the reach, and I want to surpass it."
Lou Jing thought for a while, and said slowly: "Your Majesty has no similarity between the world and the Zhou Dynasty to obtain the world, the ancestors of the Zhou Dynasty started from Houji, Yao sealed him in Tai, and accumulated more than ten generations of virtue and good deeds, which has never been contrary to the principles of heaven. Later, because of the invasion of the Di people, the prince moved to Qishan, and the people of his own country rushed to follow him to Qishan, which shows that he has won the hearts of the people. ”
"When King Wen of Zhou was the chief of the Western princes, he had properly resolved the disputes of the countries, and since then he has become a person who has been entrusted with the mandate of heaven to rule the world, and the virtuous people Lu Wang and Boyi came from the sea to attach themselves to him, and when King Wu of Zhou crusaded against Yin, the people of the world did not meet and went to Mengjin to join the alliance, which was the benevolence of King Wu of Zhou, so he gathered eight hundred princes, because the king of Zhou was destroyed, the king ascended the throne, and the Duke of Zhou and others assisted him, and built the city of Zhou in Luoyi, taking it as the center of the world, and the princes of the Quartet came to worship, In this way, if the monarch is virtuous, it is easy to rely on it to rule the world, and if he is not virtuous, it is easy to perish because of it. ”
"Whoever built the capital here, they all want to be like the Zhou Dynasty must use virtue and politics to inspire the people, and do not want to rely on the dangerous natural situation, so that the future generations of monarchs are arrogant and inconsiderate of the people, in the heyday of the Zhou Dynasty, the world is harmonious, and the hearts of all ethnic groups in the Quartet are towards Luoyi, belonging to the Zhou Dynasty, admiring the morality of the Zhou Dynasty, and thanking him for his kindness."
"Therefore, Luoyang does not garrison a soldier to defend, no need to go to war, the people of the eight great countries do not submit to the disobedience, they are willing to pay tribute, but when the Zhou Dynasty declined, it was divided into two small countries, the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and no one in the world came to worship again, and the Zhou room could no longer control the world."
"It's not that its kindness is too little, but the situation is too weak, and now His Majesty started from Fengyi Pei County, gathered the people of the township, and took them directly into battle, and then swept through the Shu and Han regions, pacified the three Qin, and Xiang Yu fought in Xingyang, fighting for the danger of Chenggao, 70 times of the big war, 40 times of small battles, so that the blood of the people of the world flowed to the earth, the dry bones of the father and son were exposed in the wilderness, and the corpses were innumerable, and the sorrow was endless, so that the people were displaced and suffered, but this situation should be compared with the prosperous period of King Cheng and King Kang of the Zhou Dynasty. According to the minister's humble opinion, it is not the same day. ”
"And the Qin land is different, there are high mountains covered, the Yellow River surrounds, all sides can be used as a solid line of defense, even if there is a sudden critical situation, millions of male soldiers can also fight with it, by the original building of the Qin State, and rely on the fertile land, this is the so-called situation of the dangerous situation, rich in the land of abundance."
"Your Majesty entered Hangu Pass and built the capital there, even if there is a disaster in Shandong, the original place of Qin can be preserved and occupied. If any of the princes rebelled, they could be restrained from sending their troops and attacked from the rear, and if they were victorious, they would not be helped by celestial beings. ”
"If Your Majesty enters Hangu Pass and builds the capital, he will control the original area of the Qin State. This is to choke the throat of the world, so that the Han family can pass on the inheritance of the world. ”
Liu Bang listened, was silent, and said for a long time: "This matter is quite important, I need to think about it, you retreat, if I build the capital in Guanzhong, there will definitely be a reward." Lou Jing naturally retreated happily.
So, Liu Bang asked for the opinions of the ministers, and the ministers were all from the east of the Kunshan Mountains, and all of them argued that the Zhou Dynasty built the capital in Luoyang and claimed the king of the world for hundreds of years, and the Qin Dynasty built the capital in Guannei and perished only in the second century, so it was better to build the capital of the Zhou Dynasty.
Liu Bang hesitated, so Zhang Liang drew a map of Guanzhong from the house, and explained the advantages of Guanzhong in detail for Liu Bang, which made Liu Bang move into Guanzhong and build the capital Chang'an.
In this way, the major events in the world are basically preliminary, and Lou Jing suggested moving the capital, but he did not mention the reward, and the generals have not yet been divided, which is a major event of the first class at present.
