Before describing this issue, I will first talk about the situation in the imperial court, and then talk about the situation in Chang'an.

I thought about it, if you don't count the rest of the provinces, the Chang'an court has these forces:

Liaodong faction. There were many officials from Liaodong, and millions of Liaodong troops also came. Their sworn enemies were the Gyeonggi faction.

Gyeonggi faction. That is, the Gyeonggi indigenous scholars, there are not many people, there are dozens of families, and the largest is the Hongnong Yang family.

Bureaucracy. It is the imperial officials and the Beijing officials. Now there is no senatorial council, and the inner court exists in name only, and it has fallen to the same miserable as the harem eunuchs. Zhao Yuyang, Zhang Qiangsheng, Lu Ziluo, Zhao Pumin, Chen Enze, and I can probably all fall into this category.

Scholar faction. This group of scholars represented by Yang Mingyang. The feudal officials of the other provinces supported him, either explicitly or implicitly. Not strictly speaking, Lu Chengzhi can also be classified into this faction.

Close-vassal faction. refers to Zheng Anmin and Anning Day. They spent all day with the emperor - and even slept together. The Forbidden Army and the Imperial Army were under their command.

West Chang'an is still a construction site, and only the imperial palace is intact. Around the palace were millions of troops living in tents. In addition, the civilians of Gyeonggi and other provinces are building day and night in West Changan. The emperor said that whoever built the house, the land and the house would belong to him forever, so West Chang'an presented a scene of construction in full swing.

East Chang'an is still prosperous, except for the imperial palace which is in ruins. The imperial court institutions and various pavilions are in East Chang'an. There seem to be more scholars than civilians in East Chang'an, and the city is incredibly prosperous.

The first thing the court discussed was: after the completion of West Chang'an, whether to forcibly drive away the people of West Chang'an.

Except for Yang Mingyang and Zhang Qiangsheng, everyone agreed to forcibly drive the fart people away.

Yang Mingyang felt that he should first formulate the law, then give the fart people a few copper dollars according to the law, then give them a certificate, and finally drive them away.

Zhang Qiangsheng felt that if he drove them away, they would definitely rebel, so it was better to kill them all.

When people were arguing, Emperor Li Hongsi slapped the dragon chair angrily: "Don't say it!" I am a dignified Tang court, can my words not count? We say that West Chang'an is given to the people, and West Chang'an is the people! ”

Zhang Qiangsheng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it is the co-ruling court that made this promise." Moreover, Qian Zhao must have made up his mind to deceive people at the beginning. When he was ready to build the city, he drove the people away. Your Majesty......"

The emperor said, "I am also responsible for what they say!" ”

Zhang Qiangsheng continued: "Your Majesty, you see, this is a paradox. If you don't chase them away, people won't know that you didn't drive them away, and they won't respect you because they take it for granted. If you drive them away, people will not respect you because you have broken your promises. If you say you will hurry, and then you will not be respected, because you have not only broken your promises, but you are also weak and incompetent. ”

The emperor was obviously displeased, and he said, "Then what do you say?" ”

Zhang Qiangsheng: "If you kill them all, you will treat it as if nothing ever existed, and this paradox does not exist." ”

The emperor slapped the dragon chair angrily: "Enough! How can there be someone like you in the world? ”

The Tang Hall was quiet.

Zhang Qiangsheng looked embarrassed.

Zheng Anmin on the side also said: "The emperor regards the people as the sky, why did you tear down the emperor's platform?" ”

Zhang Qiangsheng: "I'm for the emperor's good." ”

The Emperor's face became more and more gloomy.

At this time, Zhao Yuyang stepped forward, knelt down, and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Qiangsheng completely relied on Qian Zhaoding's teachings. Besides, he was completely thinking for the emperor and had no selfish motives. ”

The emperor's face soothed, and he said, "Don't discuss this issue. That's it for West Chang'an! ”

The following is the question of the capital of the Tang Empire.

-

-

First, it is a question of definition, philosophically a question of the referential of concepts.

East Chang'an calls itself Chang'an, and West Chang'an calls Chang'an County; West Chang'an calls itself Chang'an, and East Chang'an becomes Chang'an County.

So, despite their agreement that the capital of the empire would be Chang'an, not Chang'an County, which they glorified and despised the tiny county, was a pseudo-agreement.

If you think they really came to an agreement, you're retarded. This agreement is a waste one, as if you ask "what is a person" and reply "a person is a person" - that's bullshit.

They thought they had made a deal, but they didn't. In the end, after arguing for a long time, everyone finally had a conceptual definition of "East Chang'an", "West Chang'an" and "Chang'an".

From this day on, the word "Chang'an" no longer exists. If you mail a letter, and you write "Send to: Chang'an" on the letter, the post post has no idea whether you mail it to West Chang'an, East Chang'an, or Xi'an County, and they will not try and make mistakes, but just throw away your letter!

Second, the significance of the capital.

To a rebellious fellow like me, I don't understand the point of the capital at all; Only people like me, who don't understand the meaning of the capital, think about the meaning of the capital.

The world says that the capital is the best place. There is no household registration system, no armor protection system, no supply system in the capital, everything is perfect. Free walking, free electricity, free housing, free education, high status, rich life, broad knowledge......

However, "good" highlights "bad", or, in a "very bad" world, "generally bad" is "good". The capital is "good" not because it is "good", but because of the "badness" of foreign objects, and because of the "deliberately bad" of foreign objects.

The imperial court said that the capital was the center of the world. Without the capital, everything is meaningless. Yes, if there is no Chang'an, there will be no emperor, there will be no inner court, there will be no foreign court, there will be no guild hall, there will be no survival department, there will be no second survival department, there will be no Jinyiwei, there will be no imperial university, and there will be no royal prison......

However, the capital and the emperor, the inner court, the outer court, the guild hall, the survival department, the second survival department, the Jinyiwei, the imperial university, and the royal prison are not the same thing! Why does it have to be located in the capital? You set up in the capital, and then the capital is destroyed, and your things are gone, excuse me, what's the matter with those things? What's the matter with the capital?

Therefore, the meaning of the capital is: to gather the essence of the world and destroy it.

You can't destroy an empire without a capital; And with the capital, it would be easy to destroy her. Four billion people in the empire, even if it is four billion rabbits, how many years will you kill them!

It's like I'm walking down the street and see a guy pouting on the side of the road. I can not kick him, but I definitely can't help but kick him. If you don't want to be kicked, you shouldn't pout your ass on the road; If you're pouting, you shouldn't have to keep someone from kicking you.

Yes, when I saw that the best of the world was concentrated in the capital, I felt the urge to catch them all.

If you grow hands, you are destined to eat with both hands; If you have grown a pair of legs, you are destined to walk on both legs; If someone concentrates the essence of the world in the capital, it means that he wants to destroy it. Therefore, it is not that I want to destroy it, it is that the one who created it wants to destroy it.

The capital is a product of the last and a shortcut to the next.

In history, every emperor did not end well, and every dynasty would kill all the emperors of the previous dynasty.

The history of tens of thousands of years is no longer examinable, take the prehistoric civilization countless years ago, the merchants destroyed the Xia, slaughtered the Xia people, and shed blood; The Zhou people destroyed the merchants, and the various places were divided into feuds, and the merchants were destroyed; The Qin people arose, feudalism fell, empires were established, and scholars perished; The Western Han Dynasty perished, and Chang'an perished; The Eastern Han Dynasty perished, Luoyang perished; The Jin Dynasty was in turmoil, Wuhu was chaotic, and the Central Plains fell; The Sui and Tang dynasties were in turmoil, with two-legged sheep everywhere; The Yuan Dynasty replaced the Song Dynasty, and all the people of Song Jing were replaced; The Ming Dynasty replaced the Yuan Dynasty, and the people of Yuan Jing were replaced; The Qing Dynasty replaced the Ming Dynasty, and the people of Ming Jing changed again; The Min Dynasty replaced the Qing Dynasty, and the people in Minjing also changed; **********，*************，************，********； **********，*************，************，********； **********，*************，************，********

After the death of the Ming Dynasty, the Han Dynasty executed all the people in Chang'an, the imperial capital, and replaced them with new people; The Han Dynasty died, and the Ming Dynasty executed all the people in Chang'an, the imperial capital, and replaced them with new people; Gongzhi and Dongming have not been replaced, and that is because he has not been replaced. Not only Chang'an, but also Yanjing, Handan, Baoding, Luoyang, Kaifeng, Shangjing, Liangzhou, Qicheng...... Which one is not in exchange? Cities don't disappear, but the inhabitants rise and fall like a tide, but each time it goes up, it's a different person. The Tang Emperor Li Hongsi didn't want to change, but it was impossible for him to stop this law, because, after all, he was just a mortal.

Where there is a cause, there must be an effect, and where there is a beginning, there must be an end.

When you get the benefits, you have to pay the price.

Thirdly, it is completely useless to think so much nonsense. Now it's not about whether or not to set the capital, it's about how to set the capital.

Some people in the court said that it depends on public opinion. Public opinion? Of the 23 provinces in the world, there are 23 choices; There are 4 billion people in the world, and there are 4 billion choices. I am a native of Zhaojiazhuang, Luobei County, Central Plains Province, and Lao Tzu still wants to build the capital in Zhaojiazhuang! Do you agree?

Some people in the imperial court said that it depends on military strength. Now that the forbidden army is over, and the military strength of Lingnan and Liaodong is the most prosperous, can the capital be built in Beijing or Guangzhou? Mongolia and Hebei are also good, are they located in Yuhaier or Yanjing?

Some people in the court said that it was by the authority of the emperor. Ha ha! Over the years, the emperor has changed things in a hurry, and the emperor has become a joke, and the emperor has a fart authority!

Some people in the court said that it was chosen by God. However, this is nonsense. For you can't call God before you and ask, "Tell me, O God, where is the capital?" ”

The emperor was not sure where the capital was.

In the Tang Dynasty Palace, he looked at his feet, where was the ruins of West Chang'an.

The emperor spread his hands: "Say it." ”

In fact, the capital of the Tang Empire was just the result of a quarrel among a few people. Later people said how sacred the Tang Emperor was because they didn't know how child's play this result was.

Quarrels between the inner court and the outer court.

Anyone else doesn't care.

For me, which one is the emperor's business. If you really let me choose, I decided to set the imperial capital in Luobei, Central Plains.

For people from other provinces, they don't know that there is a fart difference between East Chang'an and West Chang'an!

Zhao Yuyang is the head of the inner court. He had to be responsible for the security of the palace, and he suggested that it be located in West Chang'an. The palace is the safest, and if the Eastern Ming Dynasty was located in West Chang'an, I am afraid it would not have perished so easily.

Zhang Qiangsheng supported Zhao Yuyang.

Yang Mingyang's hometown Hongnong is close to East Chang'an, so he naturally wants to set up the imperial capital in East Chang'an.

There was a lot of noise.

In the end, the court quarreled so much that it finally voted.

Zheng Anmin said in a shrill voice: "Agree with the raised hand of West Chang'an!" ”

Zhao Yuyang and Zhang Qiangsheng raised their hands.

They looked around, and people looked around.

Zheng Anmin said: "I agree with the raising of hands in East Chang'an. ”

Only Yang Mingyang raised his hand alone, and he looked around angrily.

As a result, West Chang'an became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty with 2 votes in favor, 1 vote against, and 146 abstentions.

Later, people always said that West Chang'an was divinely endowed, reasonable, and authoritative as the imperial capital, and I gave them two words:.
