Chapter 205: Luoyang, Tokyo
If you want to truly understand Yang Lihua's influence, you must first figure out how much she is valued.
When Yang Jian was in power, needless to say, Yang Lihua was the one who no one dared to provoke, even Dugu Jialuo gave three points to the eldest daughter, let alone others?
A princess has no rights in herself, and her influence comes from the accumulation of years.
Yang Guang is her younger brother, although he is not as deep as Yang Yong and her, but it is not comparable to Yang Jun and Yang Xiu.
This involves a problem of time to get along, Yang Guang is the second, eight years younger than Yang Lihua, it can be said that when Yang Guang was a child, he was taken care of by the eldest sister.
When the third Yang Jun was two years old, Yang Lihua was already married, and the fourth Yang Xiu was just born, Yang Lihua had already left home, not to mention the fifth Yang Liang.
Because of Yang Lihua's special status, the five sons and five daughters of Yang Jian and his wife all look to Yang Lihua, so Yang Guang has loved his eldest sister very much since he was very young, and this relationship has continued to the present.
Therefore, Yang Ming knows very well in his heart that as long as his father reigns for one day, Yang Lihua's influence will still be the same.
Whipping Yang Yue, some small things, Yang Guang will not care.
In the following days, Yang Ming heard that his father Yang Guang granted Yang Lihua the privilege of entering and leaving the palace at will, so that she could visit the fourth and fifth children who were still alive.
At the moment, these two people do not pose the slightest threat to Yang Guang.
The New Year is approaching, this day's court meeting, there are more than 60 participants, among which the Ministry of Industry is the most, in addition to Shangshu Shilang, the Ministry of Industry, Tuntian, Yu, and the Ministry of Water are all here.
When Yang Jian was in power, he once mentioned that Luoyang should be rebuilt, and when Yang Guang was in charge of the crown prince, he also mentioned it.
The topic of today's court meeting is also Xiuluoyang, but this time it is different from the previous one.
This time, Yang Guang proposed the term "Tokyo" for the first time.
In other words, he planned to build Luoyang into the eastern capital of the Great Sui and the political, cultural and economic hub of the Central Plains of the Great Sui.
Those who oppose it, the sea is gone.
Why oppose? Because once Luoyang becomes the capital, it will inevitably weaken the influence of the Guanzhong Group.
Although many of the gate valves in the Central Plains still belong to the sequence of the Guanzhong Group, such as Luoyang Yuan, Luoyang Changsun, Luoyang Dugu, and Xingyang Zheng, everyone agrees that the Guanzhong area is where the dragon vein of the Great Sui is located, and it is not suitable for change, which will lead to the loss of dragon energy.
Xiuluoyang can be repaired, but it can't be fixed.
What everyone is arguing about is the word "Dingdu".
For a while, the court was talking, and the ministers exchanged heads,
"Did Your Highness receive the news in advance?" Gao Gong leaned over and whispered.
Yang Ming shook his head: "I'm the same as you, I just found out." ”
"Are you against or for it?" Gao Gong asked again.
Yang Ming thought for a while: "Support." ”
"Why?" Gao Gong asked.
Yang Ming smiled: "What can you do if you oppose it?" If my father has already made up his mind, will we be reluctant? ”
"If something is inappropriate, you still have to advise, this is the duty of a courtier," Gao Gong frowned.
Yang Ming smiled: "Take your time and see what everyone says." ”
The court was noisy, and Gao Ye, as an attendant, signaled everyone to be quiet, and if they had any opinions, they would put them forward one by one.
Yang Guang is on the throne with an expressionless face.
Ande Wang Yang Xiong was the first to stand up and said:
"Your Majesty Rong Chen."
Yang Guang nodded and said, "Since it is a matter of discussion, there should be nothing to say." ”
Yang Xiong arched his hand and said: "The first emperor became a great cause in Guanzhong, overlooking the land of Kyushu in the world, there are Turks in the north, the countries of the Western Regions in the west, plus the land of the Southern Barbarians, all of them are not called ministers, the Beijing division was built only twenty-one years, the country is stable, all industries are prosperous, the air of the emperor, the situation of mountains and rivers, the industry of the king, Luoyang is in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it is the place where the former Wei Yuan family lived, how can it be compared with Daxing?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the surname Yuan of the court was unhappy, our hometown is in Luoyang, why did we become a living in Gouju?
Don't forget, the capital of my Great Wei was in Luoyang at that time, and at that time, there was no great prosperity, and Chang'an was nothing.
Yang Guang nodded and said: "I want to set the capital, but it is really a companion capital, I can't compare it with Daxing, Qing doesn't have to care about which is more important, Daxing is the place where my Yang family was founded, and it will never change." ”
Yang Xiong said again: "Your Majesty rebuilt Luoyang, and the ministers fully support it, but the matter of determining the capital is very important, and it needs to be considered in the long run." ”
This time, Yang Guang didn't say anything, but set his eyes on Pei Ju:
"Shiju will talk to the secretaries to solve their doubts."
As soon as these words came out, everyone knew that Pei Ju had known about this for a long time, and he was in favor of Dingdu.
Pei Ju stood up and said slowly:
"This rebellion of the Han Dynasty, the Shandong region (east of Taihang Mountain) responded, although my Wang Division has advanced eastward, but the rebellion has not disappeared, the Beijing Division lives in the hinterland of Guanzhong, the whip is beyond reach, but my Great Sui elite, are all in Guanzhong, if there is another big chaos in Shandong in the future, will you still transfer troops from Guanzhong?"
"The princes of the court, there are not a few people who hold military merits, when they know that it is difficult to solve the near fire, this rebellion of the state, if it is not for the king of Qin to drive straight in, take the lead and capture the anti-king Yang Liang, once the war drags on, causing the rebels in Hebei and Shandong to sit big, enter the Central Plains, enter the customs and coerce the Beijing division, do you think, is Luoyang important?"
Wei Chong stood up and frowned: "I am in the southeast of Beijing, and there is a natural danger in Tongguan, how can it be that the Central Plains anti-thieves will enter when they say they will enter?" ”
Pei Ju said with a smile: "The panic history books, those who entered the customs from the Central Plains, there are too many to mention, and the book should know." ”
Wei Chong retorted again: "My Guanzhong disciple is the elite of the world, and I can't stop it, how can I compare it with those stupid people in the history books?" ”。
His words are obviously a bit nonsense, Yang Su and Gao Gong are battle-hardened elders, naturally know that there is no place in the world that cannot be attacked.
Once the Central Plains is lost, Guanzhong will not even be able to be self-sufficient in food, and it is a question of how long it can resist.
Pei Ju was too lazy to refute Wei Chong, then looked at Yang Su and said:
"During the opening of the emperor's year, there was a great drought in Guanzhong, the first emperor led the people of Guanzhong to go east out of Tongguan and go to Luoyang to eat, the past is vivid, the Central Plains is the granary of the world, and His Majesty's move to set up the capital is also to stabilize Guanzhong, and set up another eastern barrier for the Beijing Division, and the Duke of Yue should be able to understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts."
Of course, Yang Su knew this, so he was in favor of rebuilding Luoyang, but the capital was too implicated.
Since the capital is fixed, the emperor will naturally pass, although he will not stay in the Central Plains all the year round, but it will inevitably affect the structure of the court.
For example, if the emperor moves to the eastern capital, then he will take a group of officials from Daxing and leave a group of officials, and these people who remain will inevitably become more and more distant from the emperor, so that they will not be reused.
The people who were taken away were all from Guanzhong, and everyone didn't want to be so far from home.
After the emperor lives in Luoyang, he will inevitably recruit some more officials to deal with government affairs, which will lead to the rise of families in the Central Plains and even in Shandong, threatening the Guanzhong gate valve.
This is a conflict of interests, who is close to the emperor, who benefits, this is a truth that everyone understands.
Yang Su was extremely smart, but he still didn't expect that Yang Guang's original intention was to gradually change the situation of Guanzhong's standard and support other regions.
Da Sui is a native of Guanzhong, and this idea is deeply rooted in Yang Su.
But he knows Yang Guang and knows what Yang Guang believes, and others can't change it.
So Yang Su nodded: "The minister agrees to make Luoyang Tokyo." ”
is old, and he can't make trouble with the emperor on such a big matter, so what will happen in the future, let's talk about it in the future.
He is in favor or not, and it is not of much use anyway, because there are too many people who oppose it.
At this time, Yang Guang set his eyes on Yang Ming, and he was counting on his son, who had always been full of scheming, to say something amazing.
"Do you have anything to say?"
"Erchen is in favor of Luoyang as Tokyo!" Yang Ming said without hesitation.
Yang Guang smiled: "Speak! ”
Yang Ming took a deep breath and said: "King Ande once said that my Great Sui Wang's hegemony was completed in Guanzhong, and my sons thought so, but my Great Sui embraced the land of Kyushu and the four seas, could I sit in Guanzhong and rule the world?" ”
"The army led by Li Jing is still strangling the rebels in Shandong, and the army at the front reports that it will take twenty days to reach Beijing at the earliest, and when we get the news, the situation in front has changed, and the imperial court is bound to be slow to respond."
"As the old saying goes, the man who built the capital, one, the situation is dangerous, two, the transportation is convenient, three, the center should be in the four directions, Luoyang is close to the mountain in the north, Yin Shui in the south, the Beijing division barrier in the west, to ensure the supply of food, and the east can be in the east to pacify Shandong, and the south of the Yangtze River is strong, so as to be Tokyo, Daxing should sit back and relax."
For a time, the court was silent.
The reason why no one stood up to refute Yang Ming was because they believed that Emperor Yang Guang had made up his mind, otherwise he would not have let the King of Qin come forward to suppress them.
Yang Ming's role in the court is like this.
And Yang Guang is eager for Yang Ming to establish prestige, which is also the reason.
Yang Ming was in favor of making Luoyang Tokyo, which is now called Tokyo, and will be renamed the Eastern Capital in five years.
The geographical situation of China has created Luoyang's innate advantages.
To the west of Luoyang, the mountains are continuous, criss-crossed, and to the east, is the North China Plain with gentle terrain.
Those who have seen the map of China's mountain ranges know that in the whole of China, the west is high and the east is low, only the Sichuan Basin, the North China Plain, the Northeast Plain, and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain are flat, and the rest of the places are all mountains.
Judging from the map, between Guanzhong and Luoyang, there is just a relatively gentle terrain, like a hinterland passage sandwiched by the north and south mountain ranges.
In ancient China, there were no high-speed railways, airplanes and trains, and it was very difficult to cross mountains and mountains, and everyone liked to take flat roads.
In Shandong, Luoyang is a must-pass place, and you can't get around it.
Dingdu is conducive to enhancing the status of Luoyang and making it strategically elevated to the highest level, so as to consolidate the eastern exit channel of the Guandong.
But in history, it only took one year for Yang Guang to build Luoyang, and its shape and scale are completely similar to Daxing, that is, the area is a quarter smaller.
Yang Ming knew in his heart that Luoyang would not be able to run, and what he was really worried about was that many people would die when building Luoyang.
Historical records: Emperor Yang Xingxiu Luoyang, 2 million per month, and those who died of stiff servants were 14 or 5 years old......
After Daddy Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, the first major project was about to be launched.
