The capital of the Lingguo is the White Emperor, located on the north bank of the Han River, and its city falls in the land of Sichuan and Shu, with many mountains. Legend has it that it is the residence of the White Emperor of the Ancient Five Heavenly Emperors.

A hundred years ago, the Spring and Autumn War was chaotic, Zhou Tianzi declined, the Central Plains were competing for the deer, and the royal family was forced to move south.

In the previous dynasty, there were poets and immortals who left "the white emperor of the court, and the thousands of miles of Jiangling were returned in one day." The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed the ten thousand mountains". The artistic conception in the poem made King Zhang fascinated, and despite the opposition of the ministers, he resolutely set the White Emperor as the capital.

After Hualing destroyed the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the first ancestor of the tomb also chose the White Emperor as the capital to inherit the orthodoxy of the Zhou king.

Baekdi Port in the city has been an important currency port along the Han River since the Zhou Dynasty. After King Zhou Zhangwang moved the capital, it became the center of water transportation in the world. The jade and silk produced from Sichuan and Shu were transported to Jiangnan from Baidi Port.

It is rumored that there is a dragon wall in Shu to suppress this true dragon. Since ancient times, Sichuan and Shu have spread the saying that "there is no real dragon in Shu".

In recent years, this statement has been widely spread in the White Emperor City, and the situation of the ministers writing to admonish the relocation of the capital to Yicheng has intensified.

White Emperor City, a simple and elegant courtyard.

"Lao Yong, what will Your Majesty think about moving the capital?" A middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears asked the man sitting opposite.

The man next to him was dressed in a brown and black robe, looking like he was in his forties, with a thin face, and a blue and white tea bowl in his hand.

This person is the prime minister of the dynasty. And the rich man sitting opposite is Cao Xi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

When Yong Zhen heard this, the tea bowl in his hand trembled slightly.

Then, he took a sip of tea in a cup and said with a smile: "Why, you also learn from the little people and treat this matter as a talking point?" This is not like your Cao Aman's style. ”

Cao Xi squeezed out an ugly smile and explained: "If Your Majesty decides to move the capital, then all matters will have to be taken care of by our Ministry of Rites."

Besides, with Qi Wanyi's immoral old guy's urine, it is estimated that he will have to push this trouble on me again. Therefore, I still know a little rumor, and it is better to take leave in advance. ”

Looking at Cao Xi's sad face, Yong Zhen buttoned the tea bowl and chuckled: "If you want to inquire about the rumors, what's the use of looking for me, you have to find the emperor."

Besides, what to do when you move the capital, you won't really believe in the statement that 'there is no real dragon in Shudi' like those people outside, right? ”

When Cao Xi heard Yongzhen say this, he smiled even more bitterly: "Come on, you should be your Yongxi Wen Yong Aiqing."

Last time, because a minister wrote a letter advocating moving the capital when His Majesty was displeased, the emperor Long Yan was furious and directly exiled his entire clan.

With this, even the most daring ministers in the past were silent. At this time, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and only you, Yongxiang and Qiu Dadudu, can stand up and speak. ”

Yong Zhen glanced at him, put down the tea bowl in his hand, shook his head, and said, "Why should I stand up and speak for you?"

Moving the capital is not a trivial matter, it is related to the rise and fall of the country's fortunes, how can a legend of a small lock dragon wall be influenced?

Nowadays, it is easy for the people to recuperate for more than ten years, and once the capital is moved, it will cost the people and money, and the manpower and material resources consumed are incalculable.

In my opinion, Aman, not only should you not advocate moving the capital, but you should dissuade others from writing to move the capital, and you should tell them the benefits and disadvantages.

In short, the matter of moving the capital is not something that one person can control, and I will never agree to you on this matter. ”

The expression on Cao Xi's face was even more ugly.

He got up to say goodbye, and laboriously made a gesture to Yongzhen: "Old Yong, as long as it is your decision, I, Cao Aman, will never force you." ”

Looking at Cao Xi's distant back, Yong Zhen sighed deeply.

He suddenly let out a sigh of emotion: "Who could have thought so much? ”

Late at night, the Imperial Study.

Emperor Zhong Lihao was wearing a heavy golden silk mink coat and was reviewing official documents.

"Your Majesty," a little eunuch walked quickly to the emperor, "Prime Minister Yongcheng asked to see him." ”

"Oh?" Zhong Lihao put down the red pen in his hand and calmed down, "Please let him in." ”

After a while, Yong Zhen walked into the imperial study with a steady step.

Before he could salute, he heard the emperor say, "Sit down, don't be polite." So, Yong Zhen and Zhong Lihao sat down face to face.

The emperor smiled and said: "Yong Aiqing entered the palace late at night this time, I don't know what to teach?" ”

Yong Zhen said respectfully: "Your Majesty said that you laughed. ”

"Oh?" Zhong Lihao chuckled, "It's rare for Yong Aiqing to be so restrained. It's okay to say something, I just listen. ”

"The minister is guilty of Longyan and directly admonishes the matter, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive the minister's sin." Yongzhen arched his hand.

The emperor waved his hand and said with a smile: "Good for you, Yong Xiwen, I know that I will not punish you, but I still want me to forgive you for any crimes." If there is anything, tell me quickly, and I will listen to you. ”

"The minister thinks that the move of the capital is definitely feasible and necessary." Yongzhen said solemnly.

Zhong Lihao was stunned for a moment, and then Lang smiled: "I really didn't expect that even you would be with them." You go on saying, I can't tell you why, I want to punish you. ”

Yong Zhen smiled: "On the one hand, it is due to the legend of the locked dragon wall.

In the previous dynasty, King Zhang, the son of heaven, moved the capital to the White Emperor and died. Although it is the general trend of the Central Plains changing hands, the theory of locking the dragon is not unfounded.

The land of Sichuan and Shu is surrounded by mountains, many rivers, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it has been blocked and climbed since ancient times.

In addition to Baidi Port, there is no big port in Sichuan and Shu. Although Caoyun freight is accessible, after all, there are still some means missing. ”

The emperor looked at Yong Zhen in surprise, then stepped back and said, "Aiqing continues, I listen." ”

Yong Zhen suddenly became solemn: "Eight hundred miles north of the river is the country of Linu, which has been unified by the Hu tribe of Mowei, and the name of the country will be changed to Mowu in the near future." Your Majesty must have known about this matter. ”

The emperor nodded and motioned for Yongzhen to continue.

"If the Hu people invade the south, the soldiers of the two armies in my Daling will be brave and unparalleled, and it is more than enough to cut off the river and reject the Hu.

It's just that the roads in Sichuan and Shu are blocked, and the front-line battle reports may not be delivered to His Majesty in time.

If this is the case, not only will it be easy to delay the fighters, but it may also cause some people to take advantage of the loopholes and support their own troops because of the blockage of the voice.

At that time, not only the north of the river will be plundered by the Hu people, but even south of the river, there will be no more pure land! The ministers are straightforward, I hope Your Majesty will see clearly! ”

Zhong Lihao frowned and pondered for a long time, then raised his head after a moment and said, "What Yong Aiqing said is also what I think in my heart. So, as you say, move the capital! ”

Early the next morning, in front of a teahouse outside the White Emperor City, a merry man dressed in white came.

The man in white stood at the door for a long time before slowly stepping into the teahouse.

His gaze scanned everyone in the teahouse, and finally landed on a man in a green robe.

The man in white slowly walked in front of the man in Tsing Yi with a look of incredulity: "Why are you here?" ”
