"Meng Sun and Shizhi are here, sit down quickly!" In the imperial study, Sima Shu looked at the two confidant ministers and asked the chamberlain to bring two chairs to the two, and after Zhang Bin and Zu Li saluted, they sat on the chairs at the bottom of the head.

"I asked the two of you to come over this time, because I have a trouble to discuss with the two of you." Sima Shu put the document in his hand on the bookcase, rubbed his somewhat sore wrist, shook his head and frowned, and said, "Presumably, the two of you have heard some rumors recently, right?" ”

"Is Your Majesty talking about the relocation of the capital? In the past two days, the minister has indeed heard a lot of discussion from the outside world, and many local newspapers in Luoyang have vigorously criticized the imperial court's proposal to move the capital, believing that this is a move to work the people and hurt money. However, there is also a small part of public opinion that supports the relocation of the capital, and the outside world is noisy about it anyway. Zhang Bin replied.

"It seems that the matter of moving the capital is really complicated, alas, both of them are my ministers, you all tell me what to do? At the moment, I haven't publicly proposed to move, and this is arguing like this, if I really propose it one day, this up and down will not be against God? Sima Shu smiled bitterly.

After listening to the emperor's words, Zhang Bin and Zu Ti showed embarrassed expressions on their faces, both of them were important ministers of the imperial court, and of course they knew that there was a deep Tao in this.

Sima Shu continued: "I know that it is more difficult to get the Kwantung family to agree to move the capital to Chang'an, but no matter how difficult this matter is, we must do it. Whether economically, militarily, or politically, moving the capital to Chang'an has extremely important benefits for the Great Jin Dynasty. ”

"From a military point of view, the pressure on the imperial court can only come from the West. Economically, in the future, we will only trade with Western countries, so moving the capital to the west will help shift the center of gravity of the imperial court. From another point of view, the Shandong family has a deep heritage, although the strength has declined several times after the imperial court suppression, but we still can't relax our vigilance against them. ”

"But if the Great Jin Dynasty does not move the capital, sooner or later the Shandong family will become restored to its previous strength, and I don't want the politics of the Great Jin Dynasty to fall into the hands of the family again. The Kansai family is different, and the Kansai family is already far behind the Kanto family, so the Kansai family will not be able to threaten the imperial court for a short time. ”

"And after the imperial court moved the capital to Guanzhong. It is conducive to the development of the Kansai family supported by the imperial court. Once the Kansai family developed. Causing a confrontation between the two great families of Kanto and Kansai will be conducive to the imperial court controlling the overall situation. This is the main reason why I insist on moving the capital, so I hope that the two Aiqing will help me plan and convince those opponents. ”

Once the Kansai family developed. The two major family groups in the East and West will be caught up in various disputes. They will quarrel over their own interests. As long as this trick works. It was able to divide the nobles of the Great Jin into two factions. In the past, it was because of the dominance of the Shandong family that the actual power of the Great Jin fell into their hands.

Zhang Bin raised his eyebrows, showed a playful smile, and nodded: "Your Majesty is really far-sighted. In fact, this thing seems difficult, but it is actually easy to say. ”

"Oh? What is Mengsun's opinion? ”

"Your Majesty, now the Kanto family is basically headed by the Wang, Yang, Pei, and Xun families, among which the Wang family will definitely stand on Your Majesty's side, if Your Majesty does the work of being a sheep concubine again, maybe the Yang family will also be consistent with Your Majesty. As for the Pei family, with the wisdom of defending the country, the minister felt that it was very likely that the Pei family would remain neutral. ”

In this way, only the Xun family is left among the opposition forces in the Kanto family, and the strength of the Yingchuan Xun family has been greatly reduced since the rebellion. Chen believes that as long as His Majesty takes care of the other major families, the Xun family will not have to worry, and the Xun family will not have the courage to go against His Majesty again! ”

"Well, Meng Sun's analysis is good, does Shizhi think this method is feasible?" Sima Shu turned around and asked Zu Ti on the other side.

Zu Ti thought for a while and said: "It shouldn't be difficult, now that my Dajin is very stable internally, and Your Majesty's prestige is high, whether it is an old family or a newly rising industrial and commercial class, it is impossible to completely tear your face with Your Majesty." Because everyone knows that the consequences of doing so can only have a bad impact on this interest group! ”

With the rise of Sima Shu, behind it is a large number of newly rising industrial and commercial classes, it is the new interest groups that make Sima Shu's rule much less dependent on the family, and it is also the confidence of Sima Shu and the family to break with the family, otherwise Sima Shu really does not dare to make a death hand to rectify the family.

Similarly, with the support of new interest groups behind Sima Shu, the family also completely lost the opportunity to control the imperial power. They also lost the courage to oppose the emperor, because the family knew that Sima Shu would also live well without them.

The proposal to move the capital was first proposed by the Guan sergeant clan, although it was not proposed on a formal occasion, but it still caused a lot of criticism. As soon as this suggestion was made. Several scholars from the Kanto region immediately thought of the proposal to move the capital to Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty a hundred years ago, and they immediately refuted it.

Although the Guan Sergeant clan did not speak again, the discussion of moving the capital began to boil within the scope of the Great Jin Dynasty. The Qiandu faction, represented by the Li family and the Song family of the Guanzhong clan, began to lobby various civil and military generals who held great power.

Now Shengle and a large area of land hundreds of miles north of Shengle to the foot of Yin Mountain are all occupied by the Great Jin, and the external environment faced by the Great Jin Pass at this time is completely different from the previous Xianbei people who went south from time to time. The Great Jin garrison Shengle and the foot of Yin Mountain, coupled with Tuoba Biyan in front of it as a barrier, made the security of Guanzhong greatly guaranteed! This is the confidence of the Kansai family to move the capital!

Moreover, Guanzhong has always been regarded as the foundation of Emperor Sima Shu, so under the lobbying of the Guanxi family, not only the Langya Wang family, the Qinghe Cui family, the Taiyuan Wang family, and the Xingyang Zheng family, which represent the Shandong family, have responded, but even the Hedong Pei family has also expressed support.

With Emperor Sima Shu's intention to move the capital very obvious, and the strong support of the Western family and the military behind him, it is impossible for some Shandong families to oppose the emperor because of a little interest, right?

However, not all of them agreed to move the capital, and there were still some families with huge interests in Shandong who said that the move of the capital was unacceptable. In addition to these, the military was largely guided by the emperor's opinion, while the cabinet was divided into two factions.

The discussion of moving the capital has made the home of Shoufu Zhang Bin a door-like city, since the discussion began. Zhang Bin was busy ushering in the send-off, and his own affairs were put aside. Because of Zhang Binshen's Sima Shu's trust, he is usually busy with official business, which makes his situation even worse, and he is almost busy every day.

However, despite the repeated motions from the outside world, the emperor Sima Shu and the important ministers of the cabinet did not express any opinion on this matter at all.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that Luoyang City is moving the capital, everyone should have heard it. Lord Shousuke's mansion has been as lively as the New Year these days, although Lord Shousuke has not made a clear statement, but the situation is quite unfavorable to my Kanto family! Yang Xuanzhi looked at the Shandong family present and smiled bitterly.

"That's true, there have been a lot of discussions in Beijing during this time, and we have also heard about it."

"Okay, since the matter of moving the capital has been discussed, then the old man might as well tell everyone that His Majesty does have the intention of moving the capital. It is said that since His Majesty entered the customs to quell the rebellion, he had the intention of moving the capital. It's just that at that time, Guanzhong was tired and Chang'an was dilapidated, so it was not suitable as the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty at all. Now it's different, now fifteen years have passed since the Guanzhong Rebellion, Guanzhong has long become extremely prosperous, and the new Chang'an has also been built, the new Chang'an has become the first city of the Great Jin Dynasty, as the future capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, she is worthy of it in terms of scale! ”

Speaking of this, Yang Xuanzhi paused, he glanced at all the ministers of the family and asked, "Let's all talk about it, what should we do to dispel His Majesty's determination to move the capital to Chang'an?" ”

Wen Xiang arched his hand and said: "Lord Yang, although this matter is a national matter, it also involves the interests of my Shandong family. We should do our best to prevent Your Majesty from moving the capital to Chang'an, I think if Lord Yang looks for Your Majesty alone, it may seem weak, it is better to gather together at the time of the Great Dynasty Meeting and ask Your Majesty for his life! ”

Yang Xuanzhi was silent, and only after a long time did he say: "Your Majesty is determined, and I am worried that this will anger Your Majesty...... Therefore, we should handle this matter carefully and should not get too involved in it. In this way, if there is a mistake, the old man can still maneuver. ”

Yang Xuanzhi's statement made Wen Xuanzhi understand a little in his heart, Yang Xuanzhi, as the head of the Yang family, has to be respected by His Majesty. Whether or not to move the capital determines how much benefit the Yang family can get, so it is not unreasonable for Yang Xuanzhi to be cautious.

Wen Yu and the ministers of the family present all sighed when they saw that Yang Xuanzhi was reluctant to participate too much. In fact, even Wen Yu just said that he already had an idea in his heart. That is, as long as Emperor Sima Shu insists, in the end, their Wen family will definitely have to compromise.

In the end, everyone didn't discuss what the result was, and Yang Xuanzhi could only say helplessly: "Okay, then let's wait until the court meeting!" ”

As time passed, seeing that the matter of moving the capital could no longer be delayed, Sima Shu finally released the news that he wanted to convene the ministers at the court meeting in September to discuss the matter of moving the capital.

After the news came out, the forces of all parties kept meeting and contacting, all thinking about how to impress the emperor Sima Shu at the great court meeting, and the civil and military generals from all over the country were also gearing up to show their skills.

Just when the court was focused on the proposal to move the capital, the Jiangdong side suddenly suspended the negotiations, and Wang Dao and others in Luoyang immediately submitted their resignations to Sima Shu. Jiangdong's actions immediately aroused the alarm of the imperial court, and not long after the negotiations were interrupted, Huainan Jiedu ordered Liu Kun to raise the security level of the Yangtze River.
