Chapter 20: The Eastern Capital

Although I don't know why Chunting was so angry, the move to Luoyang that came out of his mouth made Yi and Yihe, who were originally puzzled, suddenly enlightened.

The reason why the two of us were so confused just now is actually very simple, because we clearly know that it is precisely because of the existence of Guan Shan that even if the weak water has been inherited for thousands of years and has a huge power, it can only be plotted in secret.

They can't rely on their own power to disturb the world, because then they will be discovered by Guan Shan, since Guan Shan is responsible for guarding the stability of Shenzhou, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to the behavior of weak water, but will take action to sabotage their plot to disrupt Shenzhou.

But Chunting and Yebai said very clearly, they tell us conclusively that the Sui Dynasty did die at the hands of weak water.

That is to say, weak water must have discovered and completed a thing, and this matter does not seem to be half inappropriate on the surface, only in this way can it temporarily deceive the attention of the people of Guan Shan, so that weak water has time to arrange the follow-up conspiracy.

And we thought about it, but we didn't think that anything could seem taken for granted, but in fact it was extremely harmful to the Sui Dynasty, and it wasn't until Chunting said about the eastward move to Luoyang that we finally understood.

The Sui Dynasty, although it is extremely short in Chinese history, but it will never be easily ignored, as the so-called Han Cheng Qin system, Tang Cheng Sui system, the reason why the Tang Dynasty can have the rule of Zhenguan and the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, is actually because the Tang Dynasty almost completely inherited the system of the Sui Dynasty and improved it.

During the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, he unified the long-divided China, broke the Turks, was respected as the sage Khan, he created an advanced system of electing officials, developed culture and economy, and the Sui Dynasty had a vast territory during the opening of the emperor, with a population of more than 7 million households, which was a rare heyday in China for a thousand years.

After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he also made great efforts to govern the country, unified the army to destroy Chen, Nanping Linyi, West Tutu Guhun, Kaike and Shi, and built the Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty.

In addition to these, the Sui Dynasty is also different, that is, the Sui Dynasty did not have only one capital, but adopted a two-capital system, Chang'an and Luoyang are the capitals of the Sui Dynasty.

In the early days of the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, the capital was originally set in Chang'an, but due to the long-term decay of the old city of Chang'an, the infrastructure and urban construction were already quite old, the water supply and drainage in the city were seriously poor, and the water quality was salty and brine, making it difficult to drink.

Moreover, Chang'an is bordered by Weishui in the north, and the Wei River swings from north to south from time to time, diverting many times, and there is a danger of flooding at any time, so Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian considered building a new capital.

At this time, a warlock surveyed the direction of the dragon vein and informed Emperor Wen of Sui that there was an excellent dragon's lair in the south of the Dragon Head Plain, so Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian immediately went to inspect the terrain.

The Han Chang'an City selected the flattest part of the northern part of Longshouyuan to establish the capital of the Western Han Dynasty, and after some investigation, the southern area of Longshouyuan became the first choice of Emperor Wen of Sui.

As a result, Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian began to build a new capital in the second year of the emperor's edict, which was called Daxing City at that time, that is, the new Chang'an City, which was the first capital of the Sui Dynasty.

The second capital of the Sui Dynasty was Luoyang City.

After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, as the power of the Sui Dynasty began to radiate to the whole country, some people proposed to move the center of the Sui Dynasty to the east, in addition to Chang'an City, and set up the eastern capital as the actual political center.

This person believes that the south of Bishan, the north of Yique, the west of Qianshui, and the east of the Jianhe River are excellent military locations, which are extremely in line with the conditions of the Sui Dynasty as the capital.

After Yang Guang personally inspected, he was very satisfied with this place, so he built Luoyang Palace here, and since then, he has set Luoyang as the eastern capital, and the previous Daxing City has become the western capital.

While thinking, I slowly said the impression of the capital of the Sui Dynasty in my mind, and after speaking, I looked at Chunting and Yebai, who were silent, trying to find out where the problem was.

"That's right, Daxing in the west, Luoyang in the east, what you are talking about is the two-capital system adopted by the Sui Dynasty."

Chunting nodded to indicate that what I said was correct, and then explained where the problem was.

"In the early period of Yang Guang's reign, the national strength of the Sui Dynasty was still strong, and his original intention of setting up the eastern capital was to take the eastern capital Luoyang as the center to promote the exchange and trade development between the Central Plains and the northern and southern regions, and at the same time facilitate the conquest of the surrounding areas, so as to expand the territory of the Sui Dynasty."

Speaking of this, he changed his words, and his tone carried the anger that came from nowhere.

"Although his idea is very beautiful, he doesn't know that although Luoyang is an ancient city, it is not suitable for the Sui Dynasty to set the capital."

"As we all know, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian came from Guanzhong Hongnong, Hongnong is the land of Longxing in the Sui Dynasty, in fact, there is a dragon vein, where the dragon vein belongs to fire in the five elements, so the Sui Dynasty naturally established the country with fire."

"The warlock who previously chose the site for Emperor Wen of Sui Daxing City was not a deceptive person, but a person who was really talented and learned, Daxing City also belonged to fire in the five elements, and its dragon veins complemented each other with Hongnong's dragon vein, and the dragon qi was sufficient to report the longevity of the Sui Dynasty."

"But Luoyang, the eastern capital, is very different from these two."

Speaking of which, Ye Bai naturally took over Chunting's words, and it seemed that once he talked about feng shui things, he once again incarnated into the legendary generation of strange people, Yuan Tiangang.

"The Sui Dynasty established the country with fire, but Luoyang City is not a fire in the five elements, but a soil, although the geographical location is excellent to meet the needs of the capital of the Sui Dynasty, but it is not suitable for the Sui Dynasty to set the capital here, if you insist on going your own way to set the capital here, it will only play the opposite role."

Hearing Yebai say this, I couldn't help but ask.

"Yebai, the emperors of all dynasties are convinced of the theory of feng shui, since you clearly know that Luoyang is not suitable for the Sui Dynasty to set the capital, then how can Yang Guang not know this truth, even if he is not clear, is there no one around him who is proficient in this way?"

"Han Chuan, you have found the root of the problem."

After hearing my inquiry, Chunting snorted coldly before he opened his mouth to explain.

"In fact, as early as the Sui Dynasty, there was already a Taishi Supervisor in the imperial court, and the function of the Taishi Supervisor was to calculate the calendar, and there was no shortage of high-ranking people, not that no one could see the inappropriateness of Luoyang."

"But it shouldn't be, in order to better find the best place suitable for the Eastern Capital, Yang Guang deliberately found a foreign master to choose a site for him, and he never thought that the foreign master he found for the Eastern Capital was actually from the weak water!"
