Chapter 229: Straight to Chang'an

This has always been given by the emperor for marriage throughout the ages, and Luo Shixin's deeds of directly handing over the letter of appointment to the emperor to propose to the emperor can be said to be unprecedented.

But Luo Shixin also succeeded in one fell swoop, got Li Yuan's permission, and accepted the letter of appointment.

Others don't know the bits and pieces between Luo Shixin and Pingyang, they just think that Li Yuan has the heart to find a husband for Pingyang, and Luo Shixin's proposal happened to hit Li Yuan's heart and agreed to Luo Shixin's marriage. All of a sudden, all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred came flooding in.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty was not decades later, decades later, because of the open atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty, one princess after another was arrogant, and marrying a princess was equivalent to a green hat hanging on her head and marrying an ancestor to go home. At that time, the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and the dignitaries and nobles avoided the princess as an alien product. But most of the princesses in the Wude period still know how to clean themselves, after all, they have been baptized in troubled times. Not all of Li Yuan's children are indispensable, and most of them are knowledgeable.

And Li Yuan's calf protection is a well-known thing, although non-descendant children are treated like non-descendant children, they can still get a certain amount of care and love. Being able to marry a princess and become half of the Li family is indescribably helpful to his career.

Among the many princesses, among them, Pingyang is the most, as the most noble woman in the Tang Dynasty, Pingyang not only looks like a flower and is as beautiful as a fairy, but also can be literate and martial, and marrying her can at least ten years less struggle in her career. This kind of good thing has been touched by Luo Shixin, who can not be blushing.

It is also because Luo Shixin opened up this atmosphere, and those civil and military ministers who have not yet married have followed suit. With a pious heart, he hired Li Yuan, intending to ask for a princess to jump into the dragon gate.

Li Yuan let the series of letters of appointment be overwhelmed. had to let go of his cruel words, and if he wanted to marry his daughter, he had to at least achieve something like Luo Shixin.

As soon as these cruel words came out, Li Yuan's ears immediately got closer.

Luo Shixin is undoubtedly the first person of the younger generation of the Tang Dynasty, but at the age of twenty-two, he is the official general Shangzhu Guo and specially named the Duke of the State, and his achievements are almost irreproducible. In the unmarried generation. Is there anything that can compare to Roshison?

Luo Shixin was even more unpopular because of this, but he was personally in good spirits on happy occasions and ignored the jealous eyes around him. happily found Cui's and asked her to handle the marriage in the name of her sister-in-law.

Cui Shi realized that he had been busy in vain, and Luo Shixin quietly chased the most prestigious princess and heroine of the Tang Dynasty. I marveled at the ability of my little brother. also helped him organize a wedding with high interest. This brother married the woman with the highest status in the Tang Dynasty, and she, as a mother, also felt that she had more face, and the wedding should be more grand.

Ancient customs are complicated, and royal etiquette is not allowed to be sloppy, although the topics are all marriages and marriages, but the real marriage still takes a month or two later. Therefore, after Luo Shixin asked Cui Shi to take over the arrangements for the wedding, he also rushed to the Tianjie Army as originally expected, taught the new Mo Dao Great Array to Su Dingfang, and joined the training.

The Modao Great Array is indeed more suitable for the large-scale Modao Army than the Modao Small Array. After all, the concept of 3,000 and 20,000 cannot be the same, especially when the two armies are at war. The transformation of 20,000 cannot be as delicate and flexible as 3,000 people. Therefore, it is necessary to have a more rigorous and rough Modao Formation in order to operate as expected.

This Mo Dao large array can also contain a small Mo Dao array, which can make up for the shortcomings of the rough big array. The large array and the small array are interlocking, flexible and changeable, and it is really a set of tactics suitable for the combat of the strange sword soldiers. Only Li Jing in the world today can create such an exquisite formation.

Luo Shixin stood on the school platform, commanding the 20,000 Mo sword soldiers with the command flag, watching the Hao Hao Xiong soldiers holding the bright Mo knife and Fu Yuan crossbow interspersed in the crowd, the feeling of pointing out the thousands of troops really made him have a flame in his chest.

One day, he will let the Turkic children know that with 20,000 soldiers and horses, they are powerful!

Luo Shixin devoted himself to this training for several days, but he didn't know that the Chang'an court was already arguing.

The source of the controversy is the relocation of the capital!

Li Yuan has always regarded Li Yuanji's theory of moving the capital as the first step in his son's growth, although he didn't treat it with much sincerity, but he still listened very carefully to what he said. As a father, it is also a great pleasure to witness the growth of his son.

Li Yuanji is the king of Qi after all, although he is brainless and arrogant, he still has some talents under his command.

Li Yuanji also studied them for a period of time, and also came up with some relatively reliable remarks, Li Yuan actually felt some truth when he heard it, and was very satisfied, and when discussing government affairs with Li Jiancheng, he also stood up and talked to Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng also expressed his willingness to move the capital.

Li Yuan was surprised, but he finally faced up to the matter of moving the capital. Li Yuanji's words, he can selectively ignore many things in Dan, Li Jiancheng's opinion of the prince, he can't ignore it.

But Li Jiancheng's strategy is better than Li Yuanji, I don't know how much, he analyzes the convenience, but he is ten times smarter than Li Yuanji, all kinds of factors and conveniences are taken into account, Li Yuan said that he was moved, and decided to openly discuss the matter in the court.

As soon as Li Yuan said that he wanted to move the capital, he was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, and the entire court exploded.

Since ancient times, this relocation of the capital has been a first-class event, and it should be carefully considered. Li Yuan suddenly asked without warning how the civil and military officials in the court adapted. The officials at the top and bottom were not prepared, let alone in-depth, and they were all shallow opinions that were too late to be carefully considered, which made the court like a vegetable market.

"Listen to the Prince's opinion!" Li Yuan heard the first two big, directly stopped the quarrel, and kicked Li Jiancheng out.

For a while, the noisy court fell silent, and everyone looked at the Tang prince who was above 10,000 people under that person.

Li Jiancheng stood up calmly under the gaze of everyone, and said in all directions: "Zhang Zifang, who was in the Han Dynasty for 400 years in the past, said: 'There is Chenggao in the east of Luoyang, and there is Yanhuang in the west, Beihe, and Xiangyi, and its solidity is also enough. Liuhou said: "Although Luoyang has such a solid, which is small, but hundreds of miles, the fields are thin, and the enemy is attacked on all sides, this is not a country that uses force." Fuguan in the left of the letter, the right of Longshu, fertile thousands of miles, the south of Bashu Rao, the north of Hu Yuan's benefit, blocking three sides and guarding, with one side of the east to control the princes. The princes are stable, the river Wei Cao is the world, and the west is given to the capital; The princes have changed, and they go down the river, which is enough to entrust and lose. This so-called golden city is thousands of miles, and the country of abundance is also. Therefore, the center of the world is between Chang'an and Luoyang, and since the Western Zhou Dynasty, China has a two-Beijing system, and my Tang Dynasty has followed suit, with Chang'an as the national capital and Luoyang as the accompanying capital. But after these years of development, today's Guanzhong is really worthy of the name of the country of abundance. ”

He paused, looked at Chao Chinese Wu, and said in a loud voice: "In the past, Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, raised the world to fight Xiang Yu with Guanzhong, and finally dominated the world. Although our Datang is also based in Guanzhong, it relies on the support of Hedong Taiyuan in terms of economic and material resources. If there is no Hedong Taiyuan, it would be difficult for my Datang to have today's grand occasion. Why can Liu Bang support the world with Guanzhong, and my Datang occupies Guanzhong, but I have to rely on Taiyuan, Hedong? ”

The ministers fell into deep thought.

What Li Jiancheng said is the truth, today's Guanzhong is indeed not the country of abundance, and the Tang Dynasty can obtain the world by relying on the soldiers of Guanzhong, and the money, grain, and property of Taiyuan in the northwest and east of Hedong. It was because Li Yuanji lost the important land, and Datang instantly fell into a life-and-death crisis. Thanks to Li Shimin's order, Liu Wuzhou, who was annihilated in one fell swoop, saved the defeat.

"In my opinion, there are the following!" Li Jiancheng gushed endlessly: "First, the overpopulation has caused great damage to the land in Guanzhong. Second, climate changes have led to frequent disasters. Third, the transportation is extremely inconvenient, and it is difficult for both north and south resources to enter Guanzhong. Fourth, the northern Turks are too close, and the Turks hold the gateway of our Datang Dynasty, and they enter and exit the territory of our Datang as if they are in a no-man's land, which is too threatening to Chang'an. From these four points, Jiancheng felt that Chang'an was not suitable to be the capital of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Regardless of the mention of moving the capital to Nanyang, Li Jiancheng's four factors directly point to the shortcomings of Chang'an's cunning.

First: the overpopulation has caused great damage to the land in Guanzhong.

This is a fact, Chang'an has been the center of economy and culture since the Qin period, and its population has always been higher than that of other cities, so there is a great demand for land. A piece of land has been cultivated and cultivated, and after hundreds of years, the nutrition has long been inferior to before.

Second, climate changes have led to frequent disasters.

This is also true, and this goes hand in hand with the first point. Because of the large population and insufficient land, we can only reclaim forest wasteland, continuous reclamation, excessive reclamation, reclamation for hundreds of years, and the ecological balance is completely destroyed, so that the climate is impermanent, and disasters are repeated. In the past, the eight rivers surrounded Chang'an, and the scene of the eight rivers running the Guanzhong to raise the world has long been gone.

Third, the transportation is extremely inconvenient, and it is difficult for both north and south resources to enter Guanzhong.

As above, the current Guanzhong has long been unable to be self-sufficient in food and materials, and needs to be transported through the Jiangnan and Bashu generations. The grain of Bashu needs to pass through the Shu Road, and the difficulty of the Shu Road is self-evident. Jiangnan is thousands of miles away, and it needs to go upriver through Caoyun to Luoyang, and then enter Guanzhong through Sanmenxia. The human, financial, and material resources expended on this should be counted in astronomical numbers.

Fourth, the Turks are troubled. Based on Guanzhong, the most important point is security, surrounded by four blocks, there are many large and small passes, and the access channels in several main directions in the Guanzhong area are controlled. Retreat can be self-controlled, and exit can be aggressive.

Now the gateway of the Tang Dynasty, the Turkic controller, can come and go when he wants, maybe he will wake up that day and be like Li Shimin later, the Turkic army is approaching the city of Chang'an. The national capital is in danger so much, and it is reasonable to move the capital to ensure safety.

Li Jiancheng has four points, the facts are all there, pointing directly to Chang'an! (To be continued......)
