Chapter 1011 Moving the capital to Luoyang City
What Chu Garlic said was naturally all the truth, Hua An did save her life, which made her feel that Hua An was a good person since she was a child, and she always thought so.
When Sima Dan heard this, he nodded, and said: "According to what the queen mother said, the king of the north is not only a good person, but also a minister of the society, so the son has nothing to worry about." After speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Garlic smiled and said softly: "Since the emperor is already in power, he must consider everything by himself in the future, and he must have his own judgment, and he must not ask the queen mother about everything!" ”
Obviously, Chu Lianzi felt that Sima Dan had grown up, and he should have his own insight in everything, and if he didn't understand something, he had to find a way to investigate it himself, so that he could grow.
Sima Dan agreed: "What the queen mother taught is that the sons and daughters know. ”

A few days later, the preliminary work for moving the capital had been basically completed, and the scholars and officials, after being appeased by Xie An and his henchmen, had basically accepted the move to the capital.
However, just as Xie An was about to rest for two days, Hua An's request to move the capital arrived in Jiankang City and was handed over to Emperor Sima Dan, who immediately informed Xie An of the news and asked Xie An to prepare immediately.
Of course, before this news was sent to Emperor Sima Dan, it had already been known to Xie An's henchmen, and he immediately reported the situation to Xie An.
"Duke Xie, the official request of the Northern King to move the capital has been delivered to the capital, and it seems that the move of the capital is just around the corner." A confidant subordinate, Zhengse reported.
Xie An smiled and nodded: "The official is still planning to rest for two days, but I didn't expect that the capital will be officially moved so soon, um." After the emperor officially issued an order, the official began to organize the relocation of the capital. ”
"Report, Duke Xie, I just received the news that King Nan sent a letter to the imperial court to support the imperial court's move to move the capital." That's when it happened. Another henchman sent important news.
When Xie An and his henchmen heard this, they all felt a little incredulous, after all, the relocation of the imperial court to Luoyang City was not good news for King Nan, why did he still support the relocation of the capital?
"Gong Xie, today's shape is really good! Even the king of the south supported the move of the capital to Luoyang City. In this way, there will be no more resistance to moving the capital. A confidant said happily.
"It's strange to say, Nanwang is not the beneficiary of the relocation of the capital, and from a certain point of view, the relocation of the capital is still a little unfavorable to him, why should he fully support the relocation of the capital? It's just so puzzling. A confidant was a little puzzled.
Xie An smiled: "The general trend is the general trend. Now moving the capital to Luoyang City is already the trend of the times. Therefore, even if there is a disadvantage, the king of the south will support the relocation of the capital. ”
Obviously, Xie An has clearly realized that the strength of King Nan alone is no longer enough to oppose the relocation of the capital. For this reason, he had no choice but to support the relocation of the capital.
"Report, Duke Xie, the emperor sent someone to send a decree to Duke Xie to immediately start preparing for the relocation of the capital." Soon. Sima Dan's order was transmitted to Xie An's mansion.
When Xie An heard this, he looked at all the henchmen under his command, and said: "Everyone, now that the emperor has officially ordered the relocation of the capital, we, as officials of the imperial court, must go all out to do a good job in moving the capital." ”
"Xie Gong rest assured, we will go all out to do a good job in moving the capital." The henchmen hurriedly expressed their determination.
Xie An nodded with satisfaction, looked at all the henchmen under his command, and began to assign their respective tasks so that the relocation could be carried out efficiently.
Moving the capital is a major event, there are many things that need to be prepared, in addition to the preparation of chariots and horses, but also to consider the issue of safety, after all, once the core officials of the imperial court and the emperor leave the tall palace wall, they may face danger at any time, and the protection work is extremely important.
The 6,000 soldiers of the 6th Battalion of Wuyi are naturally the core force to protect the emperor and the ministers, however, the people and horses of the 6th Battalion of Wuyi are very large, and the 6,000 soldiers of the 6th Battalion of Wuyi alone are not enough to protect all the people and horses of the 5th Battalion of Wuyi, so in order to move the capital smoothly and safely, it is necessary to increase the escorts along the way.
Xie An felt that it was a good choice to transfer 30,000 troops from the naval army camp and escort the people and horses of the capital along the way, so he immediately ordered Han Yong to transfer 30,000 troops from the camp to be responsible for protecting the people and horses of the capital.
After Han Yong accepted the order, he immediately asked Xie Shi and Wang Biantou to start selecting soldiers and horses from the camp, and let the selected 30,000 troops immediately enter a state of standby, as long as an order was given, they could be dispatched at any time.
Of course, due to the very large number of people and materials to move the capital, for this, a large number of vehicles and ships are needed, but the width of the road is limited, for this reason, in order to prevent congestion, the people and horses of the capital need to move in batches, and the people and materials must be transported separately.
After only one day of preparation, the first batch of officials and the first batch of imperial supplies left Jiankang City and ran in the direction of Luoyang City, and in order to protect these two teams, the naval battalion allocated 1,000 men and horses respectively to ensure the absolute safety of these two vanguard teams.
The work of moving the capital was carried out in an orderly manner, and soon, the teams starting from Jiankang City were one after another, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
Wang San, who lived in an inn outside the city, watched the team leave Jiankang City and run in the direction of Luoyang City, and felt very happy in his heart, the move to the capital was finally successful, which had his credit and sweat, and now, his mission has been completed, and he can return to Luoyang City at any time to return to Hua'an.
"General, the imperial court has begun to move the capital, and our task has been completed smoothly." A pro-soldier said excitedly.
"General, now that the mission has been completed, when will we return to Luoyang City to report to the king." Another soldier said.
Obviously, they felt that since the tasks had been completed, there was no point in staying in Jiangnan, and the sooner they returned to Luoyang City, they could get the reward as soon as possible.
Wang San shook his head and said: "Don't worry, although the imperial court has begun to move the capital, but at present, those who have left Jiankang City are some ministers and various materials, and the emperor and the royal family have not left Jiankang City, so we can't leave yet, let's wait!" In the unlikely event of an accident, we should respond immediately! ”
Obviously, Wang San was still a little worried about the imperial court moving the capital. In other words, before the emperor and the royal family left Jiankang City, he would not be the first to leave Jiankang City, so as not to cause changes in Jiangnan.
However, the change that Wang San feared did not happen, and in the following days. Emperor Sima Dan and the children of the imperial family, under the protection of the 6,000 Wuyi battalion, slowly left from Jiankang City and went straight to Luoyang City.
Seeing that Emperor Sima Dan had already left Jiankang City, Wang San naturally would not continue to stay in Jiangnan, so a few hours after Sima Dan left, he packed up and led several personal soldiers under his command. Follow the team that moved the capital and ran in the direction of Luoyang City.
Of course, although the imperial court has officially moved the capital to Luoyang City, Health City is still a very important city in the south of the Yangtze River, for this reason, a small number of officials and soldiers and horses stayed in Jiankang City, in addition, there are several royal families also stayed in Jiankang City. and was responsible for pacifying the scholars in Jiangnan.
At this time, Jiankang City has been downgraded from the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty to the seat of the state city. That is, the administrative office of Yangzhou, the officials who stayed in Yangzhou, were naturally responsible for managing and controlling all things in Yangzhou.
Although Xie An was the assassin of Yangzhou, and it stands to reason that he should stay in Jiankang City and be responsible for managing all things in Yangzhou, Emperor Sima Dan trusted Xie An very much. To this end, a subordinate of Xie An was temporarily put in charge of managing Yangzhou, and Xie An was asked to follow the team that moved the capital to Luoyang City, so that he could ask Xie An for advice on difficult issues at any time.
Xie An was naturally willing to obey Emperor Sima Dan's orders, and handed over the Yangzhou army to his henchmen. Then, they followed the people who moved the capital and ran towards Luoyang City together.
The river was extremely wide and blocked the way of the people and horses who moved the capital, where all the men and horses had to abandon their carriages and board the boats, and the carriages they were riding in were transported to the north bank of the river by special transport boats, and then they re-boarded the carriages on the north bank of the river and continued in the direction of Luoyang City.
These transport ships responsible for transporting the people and horses of the capital are all ships of the naval battalion, these ships are large and small, some are transport ships, and some are real war ships, but they are also capable of transporting people.
Emperor Sima Dan and the people in the palace took the largest large warships, while the rest of the ministers and some people with relatively low status took smaller warships, and the transport ships were mainly used to transport chariots, horses and various materials, so that the capacity of all ships could be maximized and the relocation could be carried out more smoothly.
"Queen Mother, the river is so wide! Jiankang City is on the edge of the river, but Erchen is the first time to see the river, which is really beautiful. Sima Dan held the fence of the warship with both hands, looked at the sides of the river, and said excitedly.
Chu Garlic smiled and said: "If the emperor likes it, then take a few more looks, but the Yellow River north of Luoyang City is more majestic, and after arriving in Luoyang City, the queen mother will accompany the emperor and go to the Yellow River to enjoy the scenery." ”
"Oh, is it? That's really good, Erchen has long heard that the Yellow River is the mother river of China, and he really wants to see it with his own eyes! Sima Dan said yearningly.
Obviously, Sima Dan, who was stuffed in the palace all day, was very yearning for the outside world, after all, the palace with high walls on all sides was too stuffy, and the river and river were so spectacular that it was very attractive to Sima Dan, who was stuffy in the palace all day.
Looking at Sima Dan's very excited expression, the Empress Dowager Chu Garlic nodded very happily, she was bored in the palace all day, and it was time for the emperor to come out and breathe.
"Ahem, ahem...... "......Maybe he was too excited, or he was caught cold by the cold wind blowing on the river, and Emperor Sima Dan coughed violently.
The emperor suddenly felt unwell, and suddenly, everyone panicked, and immediately gathered around Sima Dan.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you." Chu Garlic hurriedly asked nervously.
After all, it was his own son, Chu Lianzi naturally felt very nervous, and was very worried about Sima Dan's body.
After relieving for a while, Sima Dan waved his hand and said softly: "It's okay, don't worry, the queen mother, the son is fine, just coughed a few times." After that, he coughed a few more times.
"It's all coughing like this, and he said it's okay, the imperial doctor, hurry up and treat the emperor." Chu Garlic hurriedly ordered.
When the accompanying imperial doctor heard the order, he immediately began to diagnose and treat Sima Dan, and after trying the pulse, he hugged his fists and said: "The queen mother doesn't have to worry too much, the emperor is just infected with wind and cold, as long as you rest well and take a few medicines, you will be cured." ”
"Infected with wind cold, the emperor is good, how can he be infected with wind cold." Chu Garlic asked dissatisfiedly.
The imperial doctor hurriedly replied: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, the wind is strong on the river, and the emperor has been blowing the wind on the deck for so long, presumably because the wind chills the human body, which then causes coughing." After speaking, he lowered his head and waited for Chu Garlic's reprimand.
When Chu Garlic heard this, he sighed secretly, the wind on the river was strong, how could he not know, but the emperor was the king of a country, and he got the wind chill just by the wind on the river, how could he not be worried about such a body?
However, this can't be blamed on Sima Dan, after all, Sima Dan has been a royal nobleman since birth, he ascended the throne as emperor at the age of two, and has been in the greenhouse of the palace, protected by a large group of palace maids and eunuchs, and he doesn't need to do anything by himself, he has a place to rest at any time when he is tired, he is thirsty and hungry, and he has good food served at any time.
When he was in the palace, the conditions were superior, and it may not be obvious that he could see it, but now, he was infected with the wind chill just after being blown by the cold wind on the river, so it can be clearly seen that Sima Dan's body is very poor.
As a mother, seeing her son contracted the wind cold as soon as the cold wind blew, Chu Garlic was naturally very anxious, but the cultivation of physical essence is not something that can be improved overnight, and there is nothing she can do about it.
"A few of you, hurry up and help the emperor go back to the cabin to rest." Seeing that Sima Dan was infected with the wind cold, Chu Garlic hurriedly ordered.
"Yes, Queen Mother." Seeing the order of the Queen Mother, several palace maids hurriedly answered and stepped forward to support Sima Dan.
"Queen Mother, Erchen is fine, Erchen feels very comfortable blowing the wind here." Sima Dan was nostalgic for the beautiful scenery on both sides of the river, and was obviously reluctant to return to the stuffy cabin.
Seeing this, Chu Garlic said: "The emperor is infected with the cold, and said that it is okay, go back to the cabin and rest!" After speaking, he glanced at several palace maids.
Several palace maids understood, and hurriedly drove the emperor Sima Dan to the direction of the cabin.
Sima Dan wanted to stay on the deck and continue to enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of the river, but when he saw that his mother strongly urged him to return to the cabin to rest, he had to return to the cabin with the support of several palace maids. (To be continued......)
