Chapter 1114: The Proposal to Move the Capital
Although ten days have passed since the Sui army's triumphal ceremony, the joy and impact brought by the Sui army's recovery of Luoyang have not completely faded from the public opinion of Zhongdu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After all, Luoyang is the capital of the Sui Dynasty, where there is a huge palace, ten times larger than the Ziwei Palace in the Central Capital, with a population of nearly one million and more convenient transportation.
But once the capital is moved, it will bring a huge wealth impact to the people of Zhongdu, the skyrocketing land prices and housing prices in the capital make countless people worth a hundred times, once the imperial court moves the capital to Luoyang, the capital will inevitably plummet housing prices, and people's wealth has shrunk significantly, which is a situation that most people in the capital can not accept, so the discussion of Luoyang people in Zhongdu has not stopped since the day of recovering Luoyang, and the joy is mixed with worry.
Before noon, the Sanyuan liquor shop near the west gate of the capital was already full of guests, it was relatively close to the west market outside the city, and most of the wine customers were mainly merchants, businessmen were more sensitive to changes in wealth than ordinary people, many people bought shops in the west market with their life savings, once the land price fell sharply, they would all go bankrupt, so the merchants were more worried about the imperial court moving the capital.
Today, the second floor of the Sanyuan liquor store is particularly lively, a businessman who went to Luoyang to inquire about the news brought the latest situation in Luoyang to everyone, the businessman and nearby residents rushed to hear the news, and surrounded the second floor of the liquor store.
"Listen to me, everybody!"
A short and fat middle-aged businessman stood at the big table in the middle, and said to everyone with excitement on his face: "I walked in Luoyang for three days, the changes in Luoyang are too surprising, I have completely changed my appearance compared with the nine years of the great cause, although martial law has long been canceled, but the south and north markets are still deserted, less than thirty percent of the shops opened, the variety of goods is few and the shortage is serious, you can only buy some basic firewood, rice, oil and salt, etc., and the population of Luoyang is also a lot less, there is no prosperity in the past, In the past, most of the streets of Luoyang were dressed in silk and satin, but now it is linen, even burlap, I heard that the valuable clothes have been sold for food, the streets are dirty, full of beggars and hungry people, it is impossible to believe that this is the former capital of the Great Sui. ”
There was a lot of discussion in the lobby on the second floor, and the tragic situation in Luoyang made them excited, but the news brought by the businessman still did not solve the question of whether to move the capital.
"Then do you want to move the capital?" Someone asked impatiently.
"I don't know about this, but I used various connections to inquire about the news from Luoyang officials, and I heard that the temple built by Wang Shichong has been demolished, and the former Sui Dynasty temple has not been rebuilt."
"Of course, there is no need to rebuild, when today's surname is Zhang and not Yang."
Everyone laughed, and the merchant waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Everyone, this is an important question that comes to mind, although Luoyang is the capital of Yang Sui, but when today's son is not surnamed Yang, why must he move the capital back to Luoyang?" ”
There was silence in the hall, and everyone also felt that this was reasonable, His Royal Highness King Qi had established his own foundation in Zhongdu, why did he still go to Luoyang to praise the stinky feet of the Yang family?
"But the country name hasn't changed!"
"This country name is only temporary, everyone knows that once His Royal Highness King Qi officially ascends the throne, the country name will change, and it is best to restore the former Wei State, so that it will be logical to set the capital in Zhongdu."
"But didn't Wei later move the capital to Daliang?"
"Phew! Bad luck. The man who said the wrong thing slapped himself hard.
At this moment, someone shouted: "The second prince is here!" ”
Everyone dodged a way, a spirited old man was surrounded by everyone and walked in, his name is Su Hongfu, is the second housekeeper in the Xiangguo Su Wei Mansion, his original surname was Jiang, according to the practice of the Northern Dynasties, he has been Su Wei's scholar since he was ten years old, he has been with Su Wei for almost 50 years, and he has a very high status in Su Mansion, even the general Su Dingfang saw him, he had to salute respectfully and call the second duke.
Su Hongfu is a frequent customer of the wine shop, and he is very familiar with everyone, and because he is Su Xiangguo's housekeeper, he is highly respected, Su Hongfu also enjoys this honor, he was surrounded by everyone as soon as he walked into the wine shop, and the short and fat businessman who announced the news on the table just now also came over to salute.
"What are you doing here?" Su Hongfu saw that the lobby of the wine store was crowded with people, obviously not eating.
"Second Duke, we are discussing whether the imperial court will move the capital to Luoyang, I don't know what news there is from the second duke."
The lobby was suddenly silent, and countless pairs of eyes looked at Su Hongfu, Su Hongfu had been a lifelong follower, and now he had finally become the focus of attention, he may not be a little proud in his heart, and he always felt that he couldn't show his authority without saying something.
Su Hongfu stroked his goatee and smiled: "I heard that some people are afraid of falling real estate prices, and they have begun to sell at a low price, in fact, there is no need, don't think about the so-called moving the capital, even if we are small people, we can't move a few times in a lifetime, let alone the imperial court, the old Xiangguo told me that moving the capital is a big deal, when Emperor Ming moved the capital of the Sui Dynasty from Chang'an to Luoyang, it has already violated the interests of too many people, and finally died in Jiangdu, generally speaking, it is not a special situation and will not move the capital, we have only moved from Beihai County to Zhongdu for a few years, Do you want to move the capital to Luoyang again? How is it possible, please rest assured, as far as I know, at least the capital will not be moved in a few decades, and it may be possible after the descendants of His Royal Highness King Qi ascend the throne in the future, but King Qi will not move the capital, this is what Lao Xiangguo said to me. ”
Su Hongfu's words immediately won full applause, and at this time, the shopkeeper of the wine shop took the opportunity to say: "Let the second prince sit down and drink the bar!" Everyone went back to their seats and got ready for lunch. ”
Everyone was convinced, one by one satisfied, they should go, they should stay, and the normal order of eating and drinking in the wine shop was restored.
.........
The building of Ziwei Palace underwent some adjustments at the beginning of the year, mainly the completion of a new pavilion, which is located on the White Tiger Hill on the high ground of Ziwei Palace, covering an area of about 50 acres, and was built by He Chou, who was the general of the superintendent.
The upper floor is built with bluestone, up to three zhang, in fact, it is a kind of defense of the inner city, and five hundred Zhang Xuan's personal guards are deployed, and above the inner city is the tower is heavy, up to six zhang, the total height is nine zhang, plus it is built on the high ground, it jumps beyond the highest building of Ziwei Palace, Duanmen City Tower.
This new city tower is Zhang Xuan's official room, the original Qi Palace's palace in the Vermilion Bird Hall was canceled, the regent official office moved down this new pavilion, called the Heavenly Pavilion, and the guards called it the Nine Heavens, and the Ziwei Pavilion where the Zhongshu Province is located, and the Tianci Pavilion where the Menxia Province is located, together to form a character structure, and called the Great Inner Three Pavilions.
Zhang Xuan rested for three days after his triumphant return to reunite with his family, and after three days he officially moved into the new official residence - Tiange, his official room was on the seventh floor of Tiange, but from the sixth floor upwards it was used by Zhang Xuan.
The sixth floor is the Senate Hall, where military affairs are discussed and ministers, the seventh floor is the official room, the rest room and all the sand tables are placed, and the eighth and ninth floors are the library, a total of four floors with hundreds of rooms, like a labyrinth.
In the meeting hall on the sixth floor, Zhang Xuanzheng and Du Ruhui chatted, Du Ruhui still served as his secretary to join the army, he and Fang Xuanling's responsibilities are different, Fang Xuanling is as a military advisor with the army, and Du Ruhui is as a representative of the King of Qi sitting in the capital, mainly responsible for handling the internal affairs of the army, attending the deliberations, some major decisions that must be agreed by the King of Qi, he is responsible for contacting Zhang Xuan, and at the same time exercising the right of supervisor, responsible for supervising the normal operation of the three provinces of Zhongshu and Menxia Monks.
Du Ruyan bowed slightly and smiled: "Recently, the hottest topic in the capital is still the issue of moving the capital to Luoyang, it has been talked about for almost ten days, and it is still hot, everyone hopes that His Royal Highness can make a clear statement, and then Ziwei Pavilion will make a resolution and announce it to the public to calm the panic in Zhongdu." ”
Zhang Xuan took a sip of tea unhurriedly and said with a smile: "How can I express my position?" I can only say that the capital will not be moved for the time being, but how long this will be for the time being, to be honest, I don't know, and I can't give a clear answer. ”
Du Ruhui groaned and said, "I remember that His Royal Highness once told me that Zhongdu is only a temporary capital. ”
"That was a long time ago."
Zhang Xuan smiled and said: "At that time, I have been thinking about moving the capital to Chang'an, I can make this clear, if the capital is moved, I will not consider Luoyang, I will definitely choose Chang'an, but when will the capital move to Chang'an, I can't say, ten or twenty years, or maybe my son moved the capital, at least I personally like the capital." ”
"Is Your Highness ready to consider ascending the throne?" After pondering for a long time, Du Ruhui finally said his true purpose of asking to see Zhang Xuan today. (To be continued.) )
