Wei Chang, who was regarded by the emperor as the centrist of moving the capital, remained silent in front of Chengen and Jing Zhao, and the emperor had already guessed Wei Chang's thoughts, but he did not force him, and only asked Jing Zhao instead: "Is Jing Gong okay?" ”

Jing Zhao understood that the emperor was asking him if his father could support it after learning the news of his sister Jing Xuan's martyrdom, so he replied: "Before Jing Zhao left from Chang'an, my father also asked Jing Zhao Mo to mention his sister in front of the saint, so as not to make the saint sad. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info father has ordered the three armies to guard the palace, the treasury in the capital, and wait for the saint to return to Luan. ”

The emperor didn't know whether he was moved by Jing Zhao's words, or felt guilty about Jing Xuan's death, so he shed two lines of tears. He took the towel handed over by Wang Bao'er, wiped his tears, and said to Jing Zhao in a heartfelt manner: "It's not that I don't want to return to Chang'an, as Jing Gong mentioned in the first chapter, Chang'an is the fundamental place where Gaozu and Taizong founded the foundation of this dynasty, if it is not a last resort, how can I be willing to move the capital to another place?" But what Fang Cai Cheng'en said is indeed the truth, although Tubo has withdrawn from Chang'an and retreated to Jingzhou, and there are many losses in soldiers and horses, but in a little time, when the soldiers and horses are replenished, they may come back at any time, and where should I go then? As you said, even if it is difficult for the Tubo people to replenish enough troops to launch a second large-scale attack on our DPRK in a short period of time, however, Jing Zhao, don't forget, this time it is only a single army of Tubo to advance suddenly, and the Turks in the north, Tuyuhun in the west, and the Xiqiang tribes are still in action, if these barbarian states join forces one day and jointly raise troops to attack, and the cities in the western Xinjiang fall into the hands of the Tubo people, and Chang'an City has no screen at all, isn't it like a piece of fat in the mouths of a group of wolves, when they want to eat it, they can swallow it in one bite. For the sake of social security, it is more appropriate to move the capital to Luoyang. ”

The emperor made his attitude public, and Yu Chengen leaned back quite complacently, holding his hands on his abdomen, and staring at Jing Zhao from the corner of his eye, wanting to see what else he had to say.

"Your Majesty, although Jing Zhao is young, he is often taught by his father, and he knows that since His Majesty ascended to the pole, he is determined to rule the world with benevolence and filial piety. Now the people of Chang'an are looking forward to His Majesty's return to Chang'an, and the people of the world regard His Majesty's visit to Hanyuan Hall to listen to the government as a symbol of the stability of the court, and Your Majesty must not live up to the wishes of the people in the world. Jing Zhao knelt a few steps forward and pleaded earnestly with the emperor.

Wei Chang stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help Jing Zhao up, and persuaded him in a low voice: "Uncle Guo, don't provoke the anger of the saint. The holy will has been decided, and the lower officials advise you to obey it, and stop making senseless disputes. ”

Lai Xing'er has been kneeling beside Jing Zhao since he entered the tent, and he has seen the demeanor and behavior of everyone in the tent one by one. Among them, what particularly annoyed him was the Lord Wei Changwei who had worked with him in the Yanying Palace, at this time, when he heard Wei Chang come to persuade Jing Zhao not to quarrel with the emperor, he couldn't help but sneer twice, and unceremoniously sarcastically mocked Wei Chang: "Lord Wei and the skills of the mud can be called to improve by leaps and bounds, which is impressive. It's just that when the emperor intended to ask for your opinion on the matter of moving the capital, why did you turn a blind eye and say nothing? Dare to love is also afraid of offending someone, so I don't dare to say what I really think in my heart, right? ”

"Bold, where is your part in talking before the holy car!" Wang Bao'er finally waited for an opportunity, and rushed to Xing'er and scolded sharply.

"It's okay, it's okay." The emperor waved his hand to stop Wang Bao'er, and asked Lai Xing'er, "You accuse Wei Chang of not daring to tell the truth what he thinks, and I ask you, do you know what he really thinks in his heart?" Do you have any thoughts on moving the capital? ”

Lai Xing'er kowtowed to the emperor again and said: "The small people are not qualified to talk about the country in front of the emperor, but the small people have worked with Lord Wei in the palace for a period of time in the past, and they admired Lord Wei's full of wealth and foresight, and they thought that Lord Wei would accept the emperor's inquiry, and he would definitely persuade the emperor to move back to Beijing as soon as possible, so as to calm the hearts of the people in the world, who knew that he was silent, only trying to protect himself, and not thinking about loyalty, so that the small people were disappointed, so he couldn't help but say two words to him under a moment of anger. ”

Wei Chang is such a smart person, as early as when he was selected by the emperor from the Hanlin Academy to the Yanying Palace, he secretly saw the emperor's trust and love for Lai Xing'er. Now, although he is in a purple robe and in a phase, Lai Xing'er is just a miscellaneous servant Bai Ding who was cleaned up by the Zhiguo Zijian (in fact, Bai Ding is not even counted, because Lai Xing'er has not yet reached the age of Chengding), but he did not dare to ridicule Lai Xing'er in front of the emperor when he accused him, let alone add bad words, so he only let go of Jing Zhao resignedly, and retreated pitifully to the side, and did not make a sound.

"For such a major event as the relocation of the imperial court's capital, the small people dare not deceive the emperor, and the small people really can't think about it." Lai Xing'er watched Wei Chang retreat to the side, knowing that he was deliberately pretending to be pitiful in front of the emperor in exchange for the emperor's sympathy for him, so he snorted in his nostrils and continued to say to the emperor, "But Xiaomin thought about the emperor's words, and somehow, suddenly took care of the emperor. ”

"Oh? What do I need you to worry about? The Emperor subconsciously leaned forward and asked suspiciously.

"When Xiaomin fell in Chang'an, he was in the city, not only witnessed the before and after of Niangniang's sacrifice for the country, but also had a chance to have a relationship with Li Chenghong, the son of the clan who was supported as the king by the Tubo people. Before Xiaomin set off from Chang'an with General Jing to meet the king, he had specifically inquired about the whereabouts of this Li Chenghong, and even heard that soon after the Tubo people evacuated Chang'an, he disguised himself and mixed up in Chang'an, and went to Jingzhou to defect to Nasimo. As a result, Xiaomin has a worry.

If it is really as the emperor just said, you think that moving the capital to Luoyang is better than moving back to Chang'an, then I am afraid that the worries of the small people will become a reality sooner or later. Imagine, if the Tubo people who occupy most of the western Xinjiang can really take Chang'an at any time, in the future, the person who will sit in the Hanyuan Hall of the Daming Palace and accept the congratulations of the hundred officials will naturally be Li Chenghong, who is supported by the Tubo people. The Forbidden City, the old capital, coupled with the identity of Li Chenghong's clan, Xiaomin is worried about ......"

"Enough!" The emperor couldn't hold back the panic that suddenly hit his heart, and hurriedly stopped Lai Xing'er. He stared at Lai Xing'er with a strange look for a long time, and then sat down in the seat like a deflated ball, waved weakly at everyone in the tent, and ordered: "That's it for today, all the ministers should step down, I want to be quiet alone."
