Chapter 502 Luoyang
Chapter 502 Qin Xi left Xianyang with his family and went to Luoyang. People who don't know still think that Qin Xi doesn't want to be the prince and wants to run to Luoyang, but in fact, Qin Xi is going to build Luoyang City.
If there were no very important things, Qin Xi would basically stay in Luoyang City. The newly built Luoyang City, as the future capital of Great Qin, must have administrative functions, and Qin Xi, as the crown prince, can also play its initial administrative functions in Luoyang.
But now, Qin Xi can only temporarily live in the old Luoyang, that is, the palace of the Zhou royal family.
And just when Qin Xi went to Luoyang, two major events occurred in Xianyang City. The second prince Yinggao was named King Anle, and since then King Anle has often closed the door of the palace, and only when the emperor summons him, or if there is a major event, he will go out of the palace.
Secondly, there is an official named Xuanyuan Jinghou, who was suspected of assassinating the prince and was removed from his post and sent to prison.
Anyone who understands knows that this imprisonment is equivalent to a death sentence. However, Qin Xi only knew that as soon as he left, his second brother Yinggao was named King Anle.
King Anle King Anle Wang, which means to be a prince of pleasure with peace of mind, this is the first emperor's exhortation to Yinggao, and it is also a warning.
Since then, the position of the crown prince of Great Qin and Qin Xi has been completely stabilized. Seven days later, Qin Xi finally came to the outside of Luoyang City.
Officials in Luoyang City were already waiting outside the city to greet them. When Xianyang City was first built, the scale was actually much smaller than Luoyang City, after all, although the Zhou royal family was unable to control the countries at that time, the countries still had to avoid it, and if the capital was larger than Luoyang, it would be easy to be ridiculed, and even become an excuse for other countries to start wars.
It is said that when Xiaogong saw that Xianyang City had no city wall, he asked Shang Ying why Xianyang City had no city wall.
And Shang Ying's answer is this, today's Qin State is not the Qin State of the old times, and today's Qin State only has soldiers under the city of other countries, and there is no time when soldiers from other countries are under the city of Qin.
It was this sentence that gave Xiaogong great courage, and in the end, Xianyang City had no city walls, and it also gave Xianyang City countless possibilities.
During the reign of King Wu of Qin, Xianyang City was greatly expanded, and its scale directly surpassed that of Luoyang City. And after the Qin State took the lead, the Six Kingdoms also wanted to expand the capital, but found that the city wall restricted the expansion of the capital.
After Qin Xi arrived in Luoyang, he lived directly in the Luoyang Palace, which was the palace of the Zhou royal family.
But what Qin Xi didn't expect was that Meng Yi had already arrived here. Meng Yi bowed his hand and said, "Minister, see His Royal Highness the Prince." Qin Xi said very unexpectedly: "Meng Yi? Why are you here? No wonder I don't usually see you at the court, when did you come? Meng Yi smiled: "A month ago, there was a big case here in Luoyang, and Luoyang City was just going to be built, so Your Majesty sent his ministers here, and by the way, he could assist His Highness." ”
"The case is over?" Qin Xi asked.
"It's over." Meng Yi said: "It was a dispute between a businessman and a scholar surnamed Ji, and the scholar surnamed Ji thought that he was the royal family of Zhou, intimidated and suppressed the businessman, and even used violent means. ”
"You need to come here in person for this little thing." Qin Xi asked. Meng Yi said helplessly: "No way, the Shi clan surnamed Ji is different from the ordinary Shi clan, after all, they used to have the title of the Zhou royal family on their heads. Qin Xi said: "In other words, there is a certain privilege in the Ji family. Who gave it to them? ”
"No one gave it, but it has always been like this, which can be regarded as a recognition of the previous dynasty." Meng Yi said. Qin Xi said as he walked: "Now it is the world of Great Qin, not the world surnamed Ji. Luoyang, as the future capital of Great Qin, cannot allow a scholar clan who still remembers the privileges of the previous dynasty to exist, find a chance, let them understand this truth! ”
"What His Highness said is, then do you still have to feast on the Shi clan surnamed Ji according to the rules tonight?" Meng Yi asked.
"No, just ask someone to put the fish on the cutting board and send it over." Qin Xi said.
"I understand." Meng Yi didn't expect that Qin Xi was about to start beating the Ji clan with a smile. In the Luoyang Palace, there is a square called Kyushu, which is the place where the Zhou royal family visited Jiuding.
But now there is no Jiuding there, Jiuding is in Xianyang at this time. When Qin Xi came to Luoyang, he naturally wanted to see this Kyushu.
When I came here, I saw that the stone bricks on the ground were scattered and orderly, and they were spliced together on the ground to form a map of Kyushu.
Meng Yi said on the side: "Back then, the first king and king Wu were here, and he raised the Longwen Chiding, but unfortunately the strength of the Martial King did not reach the peak back then. ”
"After that, King Zhaoxiang moved Jiuding to Xianyang with strategy, and also moved the world's luck to Xianyang, and won the world's luck for my Daqin." Qin Xi stood on the land of Kyushu and sighed: "Kyushu is so big, how can those who have no destiny hold up the top of Kyushu." ”
"The fact that the first king and king Wu can lift the Longwen Chiding is enough to show that there should be a mandate of heaven, it is estimated that he is too eager, and the mandate of heaven is not enough!"
"Your Highness, it's better not to talk too much about the affairs of the former king." Meng Yi said: "Your Highness came this time to select a site for New Luoyang, and this matter should be the main thing. Qin Xi nodded and said, "I understand, it's just a little sigh." After that, Meng Yi took Qin Xi around the palace and found that the palace was very empty, and there was not even a single book in the library.
You must know that the library of the Zhou royal family is known as the largest library in the world, and even the Taoist ancestor Lao Tzu got the Tao from the library of the Zhou royal family and became the strongest person in the world.
Meng Yi said: "The books in this library were all moved to Xianyang and Liyang by Lu Xiang back then, and some of them were in the hands of the Lu Shi family. ”
"A large part of the Lu family's Spring and Autumn written by Lu Xiang came from the library here." Qin Xi asked, "Meaning, there are still some ancient books on the Lu family's side?" ”
"Yes, after all, Lu Xiang has a great credit to my Great Qin, so His Majesty has never mentioned this matter." Meng Yi said.
"This can't be done, if you want to take back the original and save it, if the Lu family wants those books, just print them for them." Qin Xi said.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid that Your Majesty has to nod your head in this matter." Meng Yi reminded.
"Let's do this first, it's not too early today, go back and rest, go out of the city tomorrow to have a look, and determine the location of New Luoyang as soon as possible, this time is the top priority."
"The first batch of sinners will arrive in a month at the latest, and we are running out for time." Qin Xi rubbed his forehead and said.
