It's very strange, and it's a bit reasonable, Liu Zhi guessed that the identity of this noble son might be Li Shimin, but he took himself to this private house in Longqingfang, not the Qin Palace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This man may have done this because he did not want to let people know his identity, and it makes sense to explain it this way.

If this is the case, most likely he has just arrived in Beijing this time, and he came back secretly.

Although the crown prince Li Jiancheng broke his arm, after the death of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, in Hedong, the strength of the prince's line in the army was greatly reduced, and Li Jiancheng may not be without responsibility for this matter.

The four Li brothers grew up together, Li Yuanji has some ability, Li Shimin can't be unclear, and Li Yuanji sent troops to Hebei, ready to crusade against Dou Jiande, he is also clear, and even his subordinates have detailed work to find out the arrangements on Dou Jiande's side, maybe he has already known Dou Jiande's plan, but he was slow to send troops at a critical time, and after Li Yuanji was defeated in the front, he slowly led his troops to defeat the Song King Kong and occupied Taiyuan, although Li Yuanji's death also had a lot to do with Song Jingang. Li Shimin's approach can be regarded as avenging Li Yuanji to a certain extent, but his real purpose is probably to grab territory, Song Jingang's soldiers are outnumbered, and they are not the opponent of the elite Tang army at all, and he easily occupied a large area of Taiyuan and Hedong, greatly expanding his power.

This can be clearly seen by ****** people and even Li Yuan, and in the end, when Li Mi and Dou Jiande joined forces to march to Guanzhong, it was at the insistence of the prince's faction that Li Yuan issued ten holy decrees in a row to let Li Shimin withdraw his troops.

Li Yuan is the superior, he doesn't want the foundation of Datang to be shaken, and where is the foundation of Datang?

Obviously, it is in Guanzhong, and although Li Shimin's army is somewhat out of his control, this is not low and is the cornerstone of maintaining the rule of the Tang Dynasty at present, they must not have anything, and the situation in Hedong was already very bad at that time, Dou Jiande and Liu Heimin's army was about to complete the encirclement of Li Shimin, even if his second son and fourth son can fight well, Li Yuan still doesn't want them to take risks, because once they are defeated, the barrier of the Tang Dynasty will be gone, although it is a pity that the land east of the river is lost, But as long as you preserve your strength, you will still be able to regain it in the future.

As for the crown prince Li Jiancheng, what he considered was that he couldn't let Li Shimin swallow this piece of fat, and the loss of the land east of the river would be a big blow to Li Jiancheng, so it was even more impossible for him to let Li Shimin swallow it comfortably, so he knocked on the side in front of Li Yuan and encouraged Li Yuan to give Li Shimin an order, which finally caused such a situation.

Li Shimin's current situation is actually very bad, when he led the army to prepare to enter Beijing, it was Li Mi's Sui army that came to relieve the siege, that time it was Liu Wenjing's calculation, calculating Yu Wenhua and coming back to attack the Sui army, they planned Luoyang, but unfortunately in the end, the success failed, the plan did not succeed, but it made Li Yuan Li Shimin's father and son have a gap, which has become a very serious hidden danger.

Liu Zhi knew these overall situations before, when he was in Hedong, especially in Taiyuan, he had already thought about how he would break the situation if he was Li Shimin, and now Li Shimin has the strongest strength, but Li Jiancheng has stood on the moral high ground, and the connections around him are also richer than Li Shimin, and Li Shimin can't turn his face directly, because at this time there are strong enemies outside, if there is really any way, it probably depends on whether the estrangement between Li Shimin and Li Yuan's father and son can be eliminated.

The three of them lived in the small courtyard, a few days ago Li Shimin would come to talk to Liu Zhi and take him around the house, but he didn't leave the house, and then he may have a lot of things to do, so he didn't come over by himself, but asked the housekeeper in the house to arrange someone to take them to Chang'an.

Liu Zhi knew in his heart that most of this Li Shimin did not dare to show his head openly on the street, for fear of being discovered by the people of the prince's lineage, Jing Zhaoyin at this time was still Li Jiancheng's territory, and Li Shimin could not bargain here.

Originally, Liu Zhi always thought that the scale of Chang'an City was not as large as Luoyang City, because Yang Guang gave up Chang'an City and chose Luoyang Dingdu, not only because he wanted to get rid of the Guanlong nobles, but also because Luoyang City was updated, which was safer and more able to show his cultural and martial arts.

He went to Luoyang City, and by the way, he helped Yang Tong, the king of Xiaoyue, who guarded the city, at this time the original king of Yue had become the emperor of the Great Sui, and I hope he was not the last emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

The scale and magnificent architecture of Luoyang City left a very deep impression on him, whether it is the magnificent Dingding Gate, Yingtianmen or Ziwei Palace, Kyushu Pond are dumbfounded, the straight and wide Dingding Street, the golden splendor of Ziwei Palace and Paradise, all make people shocked, the whole city is divided into a piece by several streets and dozens of straight small streets in four vertical and four horizontal, unconventional areas, even if it is the best city in later generations, it is not as good as the planning of Luoyang City in urban planning.

And not only the visible benefits, Yang Su in the construction of Luoyang City, for Luoyang's underground drainage, dredging are very important, Luoyang City will not appear the phenomenon of water accumulation, later generations appear in the big city at every turn to see the sea, in the Sui and Tang dynasties is difficult to appear, this point, the wisdom of the ancients is really not to be underestimated.

And Chang'an City and Luoyang City are different, and Luoyang City is different from the vigor of the city, Chang'an City has more a thick, carrying the history of the Western Han Dynasty for more than 200 years, plus the baptism of ups and downs in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Chang'an City was revitalized in the Sui Dynasty, and although the whole city is no longer the capital of the Han Dynasty, and even in the position there is a great deviation, but the kind of thick and simple buried in the bones of the people in Guanzhong has continued.

Moreover, the scale and momentum of Chang'an City are actually not inferior to Luoyang, although the two are really difficult to distinguish who is big and who is small, and it seems that there is really no point in simply comparing the size, and whether it is Chang'an City or Luoyang City, they have the characteristics of magnificent momentum and regular layout.

However, Chang'an City at this time lacked the taste of the Tang Dynasty.

In order to avoid the same situation as the Six Towns Rebellion that year, Yang Guang was very jealous of the power of the Guanlong nobles, and even did not hesitate to move the capital to Luoyang to weaken the influence of the Guanlong nobles.

But since ancient times, the children of Guanzhong have been known for their martial arts, and the land of Sanqin has been a place to produce qualified soldiers since ancient times, so that almost every position in the Sui army has the figure of the Longzhong nobles, which is unacceptable to Yang Guang, so he began to gradually rely on the Hedong nobles, especially the big clans in Shandong, such as the Wenxi Pei family, the Qinghe Cui family and other nobles, and use these Shandong nobles to contain the Guanzhong families such as the Yuwen family, the Yuan family, the Dugu family, and so on.

And the reason why Yang Guang is so jealous of the Shandong clan is actually related to their Yang family's background.

Yang Guang's father Yang Ye was originally a member of the Guanlong aristocracy, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty was replaced by the Sui, it was Yang Ye who followed the strength of the Guanlong nobles to get to this point, and finally unified the country, he relied on the strength of the Guanlong group very much, and was also very jealous.

But Yang Ye is the founding emperor after all, and it is not good for him to directly do it to these subordinates who have made great contributions to him, but he handed over this task to his son, whether it is Yang Yong or Yang Guang, they all know that their biggest enemy is not an external enemy, but an internal Guanlong group.

How terrifying is the strength of the Guanlong Group? The 20 most prominent families in the Guanzhong region are at the top of society in all aspects. The emperors of the Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang dynasties all came from this group, among them, the ancestors of the Western Wei, Northern Zhou and Tang dynasties were all one of the Eight Pillar States, and the Guanlong group, whether it was an official in the court or a general in the army, occupied most of the world in the Great Sui, once these people united to prepare for rebellion, then their strength would be very terrifying.

This is what Yang Guang is worried about, they came out of the Guanlong Group, but they are even more afraid that there will be a person in the Guanlong Group who is as ambitious and powerful as them, and can also be supported by others.

In order to deal with the Guanlong group, Yang Guang did two things, one thing is to move the capital to Luoyang, any dynasty, the place where the capital is always the most advantageous, because the capital of a country is the place with the best policy and the most abundant resources, after moving the capital to Luoyang, the momentum of the Guanlong group will weaken a lot, and because the center of the country moves eastward, whether it is for the Central Plains, Hebei or Shandong, it is their opportunity, which means that they can fill the vacancy left by the Guanlong group.

The second thing is to pay attention to the development of the south, the typical representative is the development of the Yangtze River and the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou Grand Canal along the Yangtze River, he intends to tilt the resources to the south, because the consequences of the Six Towns Rebellion are very serious, the entire north and even to the north of the Yangtze River Jingxiang area have been destroyed by the war, and the center of gravity of the dynasties is in the north, after the north was affected by such a war, the Liang State actually sent troops to the north, trying to take advantage of the crisis of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

And Yang Guang simply took a salary from the bottom of the kettle and forcibly laid out in the south, even if there was chaos in the north in the future, he was not afraid, he took the army to hide in the south, and waited until the chaos in the north was enough, and then sent troops to the north to recover the lost territory, and by the way, exterminated the Guanlong group.

Of course, this is the last and worst plan, and he has been killed by Yu Wenhua before he can realize it.

Many people in later generations did not understand Yang Guang's old wealth and laborious, and the unflattering conquest of Goguryeo, such a piece of land is like chicken ribs, it is a pity to abandon it without taste, and it is a pity to dispatch tens of thousands of elite soldiers to attack immediately, and it is impossible to carry out the Eastern Crusade with the strength of the whole country, many people will understand this as Yang Guang's attempt to use the war to consume the strength of the Guanlong Group when analyzing it in later generations, and there will be casualties in the army, especially if he himself also interferes, and the army casualties are even more heavy, so he can take advantage of the situation to replace all his own strength into it. Joining the Shi forces in Hebei, Shandong, Jiangnan and other places to enter and replace the position of the Guanlong Group cannot be done in peacetime, because the action is too obvious will be regarded as suppressing the Guanlong Group, and it may be discovered by the Guanlong Group at once, and then the world will be in chaos.

But in wartime, such a thing will not happen, the Guanlong group does not have enough strength around him, the army is in his own hands, and he resolutely does not dare to act rashly, so during the entire period of the three expeditions to Goguryeo, he attacked almost regardless of casualties, and lost a large number of soldiers and generals before and after, but he never expected that because of this, the national strength of the entire Great Sui was quickly consumed, and then the peasant uprising in his eyes broke out, and the whole country quickly fell apart.

A tiger who has been guarding against it all his life, but he didn't want to end up being bitten to death by a pack of wolves.

Far away, Chang'an City at this time has experienced the turmoil of the Sui Rebellion, and the Guanlong nobles have rediscovered their spokesperson, that is, Li Tang.

However, although the Guanlong Group has contributed to Li Tang at this time and has given Li Tang a great boost, when Li Tang has not made much progress recently, they are actually waiting and watching in their hearts, and if Li Tang can't succeed, then who will have a better chance of winning next?

Liu Zhike didn't care so much, he just wanted to contact Langya Pavilion in Chang'an City as soon as possible at this time.

He found a reason to send the steward in Li Shimin's mansion, and he came to a tavern called Zuixianlou on Suzaku Street at this time.

I don't know if this restaurant is the one that Li Bai often goes to in Chang'an City in the future, otherwise why is Li Bai always drunk, and then he is called a poet? Or a drunken poet.

The location of the drunken fairy building is very good, next to the Guozijian, many students like to come to this restaurant for a drink, or a few people gather to discuss.

Fang Xingtian and Gao Junru also came out today, but Fang Xingtian knew what he was going to do today, so he took Gao Junru to play in other markets in advance.

Guozijian is a kind of government-run school established by the Sui Dynasty, and its nature is similar to that of later universities, or closer to party schools.

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan changed the name of Guozijian to Xiuwenguan, the name was changed, but the nature did not change, it is still the highest institution of learning in the country, after the implementation of the imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty, Xiuwenguan was renamed Hongwenguan, and the scale was further expanded, but the enrollment objects were still noble bachelors and even poor bachelors.

More than ten years later, Tang Gaozong Li Shimin established the Chongwen Pavilion, which is a college belonging to the East Palace, and the main enrollment objects are also the royal family. (To be continued.) )
