Shi Wei came out first, and Pan Zisu came out with a candle in his hand.

When Shi Wei turned around, he suddenly found that Pan Zisu's fingers were red and swollen.

"What's the matter with your finger?" Shi Wei took her hand in his hand and asked with concern.

Pan Zisu smiled faintly: "When I bumped into you just now, the candle dripped under my hand, and it was just scalded, so it was not in the way." ”

Only then did Shi Wei remember the picture at that time, saying that her burns were inseparable from herself.

"How can this be done, you go back to the house and wait, I'll get some medicine to stop the heat."

Shi Wei helped Pan Zisu into the room, and after a while, he took some ointment from his pharmacy to treat burns, and carefully applied it to her fingers.

Pan Zisu looked at his concerned look, his eyes were relieved and moved, but after a while, he sighed lightly for some reason.

In that sigh, Shi Wei heard something on his mind.

He raised his head and asked with a smile, "Why, don't you have something on your mind to tell me?" ”

Pan Zisu sighed faintly: "I just sigh that you are very considerate, but you are a little thoughtful, it seems that many women will be so good." ”

Pan Zisu's words showed that she was alluding to Lu Yuzhu's matter, and it seemed that she was also a little jealous.

Shi Wei was a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, hurriedly changed the topic, and said: "By the way, this night is dark, why don't you rest in the house, but you remember to go on a night tour with candles." ”

Shi Wei didn't want to answer head-on, so Pan Zisu didn't ask any more.

She said, "I'm thinking about my father and eldest brother, and I wanted to ask you about them, but you've been busy since you came back, so I want to wait for my return at night and take the time to ask." ”

I see.

Shi Wei couldn't help but apologize: "I've been tired of business these days, and I almost ignored you." ”

At that moment, Shi Wei told her about Pan You's situation.

When he was on an envoy to Jinling before, Shi Wei had inquired, and it turned out that after Pan You resigned, he returned to his hometown to live in seclusion.

After the destruction of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Shi Wei also took the time to visit, and wanted to invite Pan You to the Great Song Dynasty, but Pan You declined.

As for his brother Pan Zijun, although he also said that he wanted to serve his father at home, Pan You asked him to participate in the imperial examination this autumn to serve the new dynasty.

Hearing that his father and brother were well, Pan Zisu breathed a sigh of relief, and thought that in a few months, he would be able to reunite with his brother in Bianjing, and Pan Zisu was overjoyed.

Seeing Pan Zisu's happy look, Shi Wei was also comforted in his heart.

After Pan Zisu was excited, he suddenly said: "Yuanzhi, I see that you seem to have something on your mind, could it be that today's palace banquet is not going well?" ”

Pan Zisu, like Shi Niang, saw her mood.

Pan Zisu is a daughter of a famous family, and she has some knowledge, and among the female relatives in the officialdom, Shi Wei can only talk to her for a few words.

So Shi Wei did not hide it, and told him how the king of Jin calculated himself.

After hearing this, Pan Zisu couldn't help but frown: "Then the King of Jin must have seen that His Royal Highness was named the King of Martial Arts because of his merits, and he had a lot of suspicion and dissatisfaction in his heart, so he used the impeachment of Yuanzhi to attack His Royal Highness." ”

Pan Zisu could see this clearly, which really surprised Shi Wei.

He sighed: "Yes, King Jin has coveted the throne for a long time, and every time His Royal Highness is added to the throne, it will stimulate his nerves, but for now, His Second Highness is not his opponent." ”

Pan Zisu also nodded and said: "The King of Jin has served as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion for more than ten years, and Bianjing is afraid that it has long been intertwined, all of them are his forces, and His Royal Highness has only hung a few fictitious positions with no real power, where is the opportunity to manage his own forces." ”

"Kaifeng Mansion Yin ......"

Pan Zisu's words seemed to give Shi Wei some kind of inspiration, and his expression suddenly became inspired.

He stood up, paced in the room, and muttered: "The reason why the King of Jin has his current power is because of his position as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, and his occupation of this position is equivalent to controlling the capital, if he ......"

Suddenly, Shi Wei's eyes flashed with unprecedented excitement.

He took Pan Zisu's hand and exclaimed excitedly: "Zisu, thank you so much, you have solved a big problem for me." ”

Pan Zisu looked at him so happy, and he was also happy, but he said blankly: "Yuanzhi, what are you talking about, what is the big problem?" ”

"I'll explain to you later, I'm going to write a recital now."

Shi Wei was excited, picked up Pan Zisu's face and kissed it fiercely, and then strode out and went straight to the study.

was puzzled by Pan Zisu, and only gave him this kiss so that his face was red, his breathing intensified, and he was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses.

When she came to her senses, Shi Wei was gone.

Pan Zisu's fingertips caressed the residual temperature on his face, and in his delicate eyes, he couldn't help but have a hint of joy.

At dawn the next day, Shi Wei took a piece of music he had written overnight and went straight to the palace of Wugong County.

In the secret room, Zhao Dezhao held Shi Wei's recital watch in his hand and watched it carefully, and his originally plain expression gradually became solemn.

After a while, he put down the watch and asked in surprise: "Yuanzhi, you actually want to persuade your father to move the capital to Luoyang?" ”

Shi Wei said slowly: "The land of Bianliang and Gyeonggi, a plain, is the land of the four wars, but there is no danger to be feared, Your Majesty has collected the world's elite soldiers to be stationed here, and it is convenient to send troops to attack the Quartet, but it is also extremely convenient for others to attack Bianliang." Like the Liaoguo Iron Horse in the north, you can drive straight into Bianliang City within a few days, how can such a place be suitable for a long time as Yanjing. ”

Shi Wei's vision was far-sighted, and he had already turned the threat of the Great Song Dynasty to the Liao State.

His words made a lot of sense, and Zhao Dezhao was gradually moved when he heard it, and he couldn't help but nod slightly.

Shi Wei then said: "The minister wants His Majesty to use Bianliang as Yanjing, but he just follows the previous dynasty and acts cheaply. Now that the southern countries have been flattened, the puppet small country of the puppet Han in Hedong is not to be feared, and the fierce opponent facing my Great Song Dynasty is only the Liao State. ”

He took a breath and continued: "The Liao State also took the cavalry as an advantage, and placed the capital in the plain like it is now, gathering a large number of soldiers who are not engaged in production in the capital, which not only consumes the people's strength, but once the war starts, it will not be able to stop the Liao iron cavalry from going south in time to attack the Beijing division. With these two major disadvantages, it can be seen that Bianliang is no longer suitable for Yanjing. ”

Shi Wei's sprinkling analysis is not without purpose, after all, he has thousands of years of historical lessons as the foundation.

Because the Song Dynasty built its capital on the plains, there were no mountains and rivers, so it was necessary to gather a large number of soldiers around the capital and garrison the Beijing division with the advantage of numbers.

The Song Dynasty in history, its number of soldiers and horses can be described as the prosperity of all dynasties, from more than 300,000 in the period of Zhao Kuangyin to the era of Qinzong when the Northern Song Dynasty perished, the total number of forbidden troops has reached more than 140,000.

However, such a huge Song team, none of them was able to stop the iron cavalry of the northern Hulu, whether it was the Liao State or the Jin State, the powerful iron cavalry could calmly cross the vast plains of Hebei every time and reach the city of Bianliang.

The army of millions of people not only could not stop the enemy's iron cavalry, but made the country's finances heavy, and the harm of redundant troops could not be solved in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Shi Wei has a long-term vision, and Zhao Dezhao is not short-sighted, so these words made him gradually fall into contemplation.

From Dezhao's eyes, Shi Wei could see that Dezhao was already moved.

However, after pondering for a long time, Zhao Dezhao said: "Although Luoyang has the danger of mountains and rivers, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, Luoyang's transportation has not been smooth, and the food is not enough, which is far less convenient than Bianjing. And if there is no convenient transportation, how can you feed the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in the capital? ”

Zhao Dezhao mentioned Cao Yun, and since the Five Dynasties, all dynasties have set their capital in Bianliang, the main reason is because of the convenience of Bianliang Cao Yun.

In this section, Shi Wei naturally had already thought about it.

He said: "The country needs a large amount of grain because of the heavy troops to defend the Beijing Division, so it depends on the southeast Cao Yun. Bianliang has no danger to defend, and the soldiers needed will only increase, and in turn, the heavier the food, so the vicious cycle will be, even if Bianliang has the benefit of luck, sooner or later it will deplete the people's power in the world, which is by no means a long-term solution. ”

Zhao Dezhao's expression changed slightly when he heard it, as if Shi Wei's sentence "This is not a long-term solution", which shocked him.

Shi Wei then said: "If the capital is moved to Luoyang, the imperial court can rely on the risk of the eight passes, and there is no need to raise a huge army in Beijing, and the demand for food is naturally not as good as that of Bianjing." In addition, the decline of Luoyang Cao Yun is also related to the disrepair of several canals, as long as the state can effectively rebuild the canal, it can increase the amount of Luoyang Cao Yun, and I believe that it will never be subject to food problems. ”

Shi Weiyang sprinkled a big call, and finally convinced Zhao Dezhao.

He immediately approved: "Yuanzhi, you are really far-sighted, and moving the capital to Luoyang is really a long-term policy for the country's long-term stability." ”

After a pause, Dezhao said again: "It's just that I have built the capital of Bianliang for a long time, from the imperial ministers to the military and civilians, I have long been accustomed to Bianjing, if I move the capital to Luoyang, I am afraid that I will definitely be opposed by many people." ”

Shi Wei smiled indifferently: "Everyone is used to the life of Bianjing, and it will naturally be reluctant to let them move to Luoyang at this time, but as long as Your Majesty insists, this move to the capital will definitely be successful." ”

Zhao Dezhao nodded and said: "My father is wise and powerful, and his vision is outstanding, so he must also think of the long-term benefits of moving the capital to Luoyang, and my father is a native of Luoyang, and moving the capital to Luoyang is also having the glory of returning to his hometown." ”

After this conversation, Zhao Dezhao's thinking has turned a corner, from being skeptical to becoming supportive of moving the capital.

At this time, Shi Wei's expression became serious again, and he lowered his voice and said: "In fact, the proposal to move the capital proposed by the lower officials is not only for the long-term peace and stability of the Great Song Dynasty, but also for the future vision of His Royal Highness. ”

"For me?" Zhao Dezhao's face was dazed, and he couldn't react to Shi Wei's words for a while.

Shi Wei lowered his voice and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, have you forgotten your third uncle, His Royal Highness King Jin, what official position he is?" ”
