In Huaxia 199, Liu Tai, who returned to Huacheng for a month in mid-May and completely dominated the world, did not feel any relaxation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 As the saying goes, it is difficult to fight the country, and it is even more difficult to defend the country. Now that the world is unified, all kinds of messy things have begun to jump in front of Liu Tai's eyes.

Not long ago, Confucian students gathered in Hwaseong to parade and demand that Liu Tai abolish the current contention of a hundred schools of thought and reset the situation of exclusive respect for Confucianism. You must know that the situation of a hundred schools of thought contending, but Liu Tai managed it with great difficulty, how could it be abolished by a few words of Confucianism?

And Liu Tai also saw from this incident that the gathering of Confucianism was by no means spontaneous, and there must be members of the imperial court. You must know that in the current situation where the second group of dragons and tigers is all over the world, without Liu Tai's permission, this kind of thing cannot happen, and all possible dangers will be nipped in the bud.

But that's the case, Confucian scholars can still summon thousands of people in Hwaseong, if there is no help from the imperial court, I am afraid that no one will believe it. But as the saying goes, the law does not blame the public! In the face of thousands of Confucian students, can Liu Tai still raise a butcher's knife like Qin Shi Huang?

No!

Therefore, Liu Tai's means can only be appeasement, and the stick and carrot are used together. Fortunately, Liu Tai's prestige is too prosperous at the moment. It's not something that some small miscellaneous fish can shake at all, especially when Liu Tai is about to become emperor, and at the most sensitive season, no one dares to be serious with Liu Tai. Therefore, after Liu Tai issued a holy decree, all the acquaintances of Confucian students dispersed.

However, this matter was remembered by Liu Tai.

Confucianism alone is simply impossible for Liu Tai.

You must know that although Confucianism is good, it is not the fundamental strategy of a country's policy. It can be heavy, but it can't be exalted. Liu Tai is very clear about this, so the behavior of the Confucian students is just a group of clowns playing tricks in Liu Tai's eyes.

After the Confucian student incident, the Dingdu and the date of the emperor were re-mentioned by the hundred officials. Still as before, more than half of the officials in the court mind the capital of Luoyang. Sancheng officials, most of whom are military generals, think that the capital of Chang'an is the most appropriate, after all, the biggest enemy of the Chinese nation in the future must be the barbarian country in the west, and Huacheng is too far away, Chang'an City occupies a very big advantage in this point.

Liu Tai actually considered Chang'an City, but the problem is that Chang'an City is not completely satisfactory to Liu Tai. Because if the country is established in Chang'an, it will inevitably be re-emerged by the grassland peoples who have finally surrendered, which Liu Tai will never allow.

However, if the capital is placed in Huacheng, then the control and attack on the Western Regions and the barbarian countries further west will be much reduced. After all, the distance between Hwaseong and the Western Regions is a bit far, as the saying goes, the whip is beyond reach. But the most important thing is the issue of food and grass.

In the era of cold weapons, the transportation of grain and grass is always the most difficult. If there were modern trains and a complete transportation system in this era, then Liu Tai would not have so many troubles. But the problem is that the emergence of the train, no matter how hard Liu Tai tries, it is impossible to succeed in a short time.

It must be mentioned that the Ministry of Industry has been developing steam engines for many years. However, because of the common vision problems of Chinese people in this era, as well as various environmental factors and references, it is really difficult to find a clue for a while.

Of course, no matter what you say, Liu Tai has already decided in his heart that it is Huacheng, so it must be Huacheng. No one can change that. What if 80 percent of the officials in the court mind moving the capital? Liu Tai's will is the ultimate will, and it is the supreme decree of this era!

As for the rest of Ercheng Renwu, most of them are old fritters, such as Er Xun, Guo Jia, Zhong Xuan, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and Cao Ying's faction, etc., all of whom hold neutral opinions. Neither agree with the relocation of the capital to Chang'an, nor agree with the relocation of the capital to Luoyang, and the attitude can be described as ambiguous. Obviously, they are waiting for Liu Tai to make a statement.

Because Er Xun and the others know very well that the final decision is just a sentence from Liu Tai. And there are only three or four choices, and it's not a complicated thing, is it necessary for them to participate? In fact, if Chen Gong hadn't made a statement in advance, the situation in the court would not have evolved so badly.

Because of Chen Gong's statement, there are disadvantages and benefits. The disadvantage is that the debate over the relocation of the capital by hundreds of officials is even hotter. The advantage is that hundreds of officials can quickly stand firm on the party, for example, Shanxi is Shanxi, and Shandong is Shandong.

A clear statement can allow Liu Tai to truly understand the situation in the court. Although this is not a good development momentum, for Liu Tai, seeing the face of hundreds of officials is more important than anything! And because of the clarity of the situation, Liu Tai can also make better adjustments to the distribution of officials.

You know, the position of an official is not static. Prior to this, it was difficult for Liu Tai to deal with the promotion and demotion of hundreds of officials clearly, but since this incident, Liu Tai's heart has become much clearer. And the two factions above the court, what they didn't know was that at this moment, in front of their master, that is, Liu Tai's heart, a big cross was laid.

Not to mention anything else, but if they want to get close to the center of power, the vast majority of them will not be able to live for a lifetime.

Let's put aside the relocation of the capital. At present, the hundred officials pay more attention to the date when Liu Tai became emperor. You must know that the date of being called emperor is to choose a good zodiac auspicious date, not that you want to be called emperor if you want to be emperor. In the 400-year-old Han Dynasty, all kinds of etiquette can be described as extremely cumbersome, can Liu Tai's procedures for becoming emperor be simple?

If Liu Tai is an ordinary successor emperor, there is nothing to choose and pay attention to. But the current Liu Tai can be regarded as creating a dynasty, which is not inferior to Liu Xiu and Liu Bang. Because of Liu Tai's reforms in northern Xinjiang over the years, he created an unprecedented prosperous dynasty, and his achievements are even higher than Liu Xiu and Liu Bang.

With such an emperor, can the enthronement ceremony be ordinary?

Therefore, the hundred officials launched a fierce debate on Liu Tai's zodiac auspicious words for the emperor, various etiquettes and even who should serve as the queen.

Huang Daoji said and etiquette are okay, after all, this is a fixed death, but who should do it? This became the central point of controversy among the officials.

Among Liu Tai's many concubines, Cai Yan should be the most qualified candidate to serve as the queen. After all, Cai Yan is the first woman Liu Tai to make a marriage contract, that is to say, she is a doctor. But the problem is that Cai Yan's marriage has been delayed for too long, and there are countless sisters in front of Cai Yan.

After Cai Yan, Zhen Mi's popularity is even greater!

Why is Zhen Mi's popularity higher than Cai Yan?

Because Zhen Mi has been rumored to be the queen's order since she was a child, this is confirmed in the northern Xinjiang. And Zhen Mi is also the first concubine for Liu Tai to conceive a dragon seed. The most important thing is that this dragon species is still a prince, that is, the eldest son of the royal family of the Northern Han Dynasty, and the most powerful contender for the position of the crown prince in the future.

As a result, Zhen Mi's popularity and various reasons are far better than Cai Yan's. And the Zhen family behind Zhen Mi can also be said to be a very large family, the business scope accommodates the entire Han Dynasty, and even expanded to extraterritorial areas many years ago, such a huge family, with all its strength to build momentum for Zhen Mi, how terrifying will Zhen Mi's prestige be?

In comparison, the Cai family behind Cai Yan is a bit unsightly. Although it is said that Cai Yan's father, Cai Yong, is a leader-level figure of a scholar. But the question is, the policy in northern Xinjiang has always suppressed the older generation of scholars, what kind of storm can they set off? And Cai Yong, the old man's surname is strong and strong, and he doesn't care to make any small moves.

The more time passes, the more unfavorable it will be for Cai Yan. Everyone can see this, but everyone is waiting for Liu Tai to make a statement, or that sentence, Liu Tai's decision represents everything, no one can disobey and change, and no one dares to do it.

Who will Liu Tai choose?
