Of Zhu Ming's 3,000 heavily armored guards, 1,000 were taken to Huainan by Wang Yuan to check and reorganize the newly recruited troops in Lianghuai.

The remaining 2,000 guards, along with the musketeers, temporarily served as guards in the Imperial City.

Bai Sheng is the commander of the palace guards, Gu San controls the heavy armor soldiers, and Hua Rong controls the musketeers.

Zhu Guoxiang also has hundreds of guards, but the combat effectiveness is not enough, and the military power of the imperial city is equal to Zhu Ming's hands.

On the same day, Zhu Guoxiang moved to the harem, and Zhu Ming moved to the East Palace.

Eunuchs and palace maids follow those left by the old Song Dynasty. It's all homeless people, who couldn't escape when the city was broken, but now they have jobs again.

As for the Zhao and Song royal families and clans, they were transferred to Yanfu Palace for custody, and their cultivation would be arranged after the beginning of spring.

Father and son talked for a long time and realized that they had thought too simply.

Within ten years, no matter which of them becomes emperor, it is possible to raise a butcher's knife against the heroes.

Because the faction appeared too quickly and was too deeply involved in the officialdom of the old Song Dynasty, if this goes on for a long time, if it is not transferred by personal will, large and small interest groups will inevitably be formed.

Once there are interest groups, political turmoil will also ensu, and they will begin to threaten the existing system and affect the transmission and implementation of the emperor's policies.

Politics is the art of compromise, and compromise is born out of struggle. It wasn't until the emperor and his ministers had been in friction for a long time and reached some kind of delicate balance that the court would really settle down.

Whether it will kill the heroes depends on how well it is run-in.

The monarchs who keep the success are run in through conventional means, but the founding emperor doesn't have so many scruples, and he can't stand it, so he chops melons and vegetables.

Nowadays, there are four factions in Sichuan alone.

One is the Hanzhong faction, with the gentry of Hanzhong and Yangzhou as the main body. Among them, many people are relatives and friends of the Zhu family's father and son, and they also have great influence in the army.

The second is the student faction, with Tai students and Jinzhou students as the main body, and also mixed with students from Lizhou and Guizhou, as well as the gentry and heroes of Jinzhou. He also had influence in the army, mainly the blacksmiths who migrated from Xuzhou to Jinzhou, and many of them became officers at the beginning of the army.

The third is the Shuzhong faction, with the gentry and wealthy families of the Chengdu Plain as the main body, and the gentry from other parts of Sichuan as dependents. They have nothing to do with the military, but a large number of middle and low-level bureaucrats, and these people are very close to Gao Jingshan.

The fourth is the demotion faction, with the old Song magistrates who surrendered to the Zhu family as the main body, and these people are very close to Zhang Gen.

Of course, there are no strict boundaries between factions, and many people do not deliberately form factions. Purely based on the distance and proximity of the relationship, more communication will naturally arise, and at the moment it seems that it is completely fine, because the cake is getting bigger.

But as time goes by, the cake can't grow bigger, and it's hard to say at that time.

Zhu Ming took the carriage back to the East Palace, this place was the first time he had come.

There is also an office space in the East Palace, and Bai Sheng, Gu San, Bai Chongwu, Ye Mengde and others are all familiar with their office environment.

Fu Bi's grandson, Fu Zhirou, was recommended by Zhu Dunru to temporarily do chores under Zhu Ming, doing some document drafting and copying work.

The competition for official positions in the Huizong Dynasty was fierce, and even the children of big clans like Fu Zhirou had the status of Yin Guan, but they have not been able to fill the vacancy. It was not until after Zhao Huan ascended the throne that he entered Beijing in the name of a virtuous person and was thrown into Zhongshu Province as a secretary.

Fu Zhirou also heard some rumors, his family was in Luoyang, so he naturally wanted to move the capital to Luoyang.

Seeing Zhu Ming coming back, Fu Zhirou immediately went to report to work, and after pulling a bunch of things, he said tentatively: "Marshal, the Tokyo Imperial Palace is closed, and it is not as brilliant and magnificent as the Xijing Imperial Palace." ”

"Luoyang Palace is even bigger?" Zhu Ming was surprised.

Fu Zhirou said: "Zhao Ji not only built a lot of construction in Kaifeng, but also rebuilt and expanded the Luoyang Imperial Palace, covering more than three times the size of Tokyo, and it was not completed until the year before the marshal raised his army. ”

Zhu Ming said: "I know about the rebuilding of Luoyang Palace, but it is not three times that of Tokyo." Zhao Ji himself didn't move in, what did he do when he was so big? ”

"I don't know what the faint king thinks," Fu Zhirou said, "but the Luoyang Imperial Palace occupies more than three times the area of the Tokyo Imperial Palace. Of course, Tokyo's inner and outer Gyeongbokgung Palace and Mt. Gendake are not included. ”

The Luoyang Palace of the Song Dynasty was originally built by Zhao Kuangyin's order, and the overall architectural layout basically coincided with the Luoyang Palace in the Tang Dynasty, covering an area larger than the Kaifeng Palace.

Obviously, Zhao Kuangyin wanted to move the capital, but was invalidated by Zhao Guangyi.

After Song Zhenzong, the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty no longer went to Luoyang regularly, and the Luoyang Palace became increasingly deserted.

More than ten years ago, Song Huizong suddenly had a convulsion and ordered the Luoyang Palace to be rebuilt.

Cai You's eldest brother, Song Sheng, was impeached for killing cattle and burning ashes to plaster the wall, and even stealing human bones to plaster the wall, which was what he did when he built Luoyang Palace.

The area of the Luoyang Imperial Palace expanded again, reaching more than three times the size of the Kaifeng Imperial Palace.

Among them, the palace city covers an area of about 1 million square meters (720,000 square meters for the Forbidden City), and the imperial city covers an area of about 6.03 square kilometers (the imperial city of the Ming and Qing dynasties is about 6.87 square kilometers).

The area of an imperial city is slightly smaller than that of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the area of the palace is much larger than that of the Forbidden City. It is almost equivalent to rebuilding, because Luoyang Palace has long been abandoned and dumped.

However, Song Huizong has never been to live for a day, which is even more nonsense than building Genyue!

Of course, Zhu Ming knew about the rebuilding of Luoyang Palace, but he always thought that it was just repair, but he was actually engaged in expansion?

If you set your own capital in Luoyang, wouldn't you be able to move in directly?

Song Huizong is not a bad person, everything has been considered, and all kinds of resources are given away for free.

"Let's discuss the matter of the capital, you don't have to care about this." Zhu Ming admonished.

"Yes."

Fu Zhirou immediately shut up, he knew that Zhu Ming was tempted.

Kaifeng, a broken place, is not suitable for the capital. Not to mention the military aspect, there are also floods every now and then, and it is often necessary to strengthen the Yellow River embankment.

The palace is as big as Luoyang, and it is ready-made, and everyone knows where to move with a normal brain.

Fu Zhirou never expected that the rich family was also forced to relocate. And it should be divided into at least eight, and if it is scattered and thrown to Hebei and Shandong counties, Luoyang is allowed to keep a stump at most.

Zhu Ming familiarized himself with the office area of the East Palace, and then walked back to his inner house.

The wives and concubines have been assigned to the house, and Zhang Jinping is responsible for arranging it, and even the palace maids and eunuchs have also been divided.

The number of palace maids and eunuchs is very small, and most of them are servants brought by each of them to do things.

"Blessed husband and wife!" The wives and concubines bowed.

A few children also ran over, like little adults, and greeted them in a proper manner.

Zhu Ming picked one up and asked with a smile: "Are you still used to it here?" ”

"It's all right," Zhang Jinping whispered, "It's those Chinese (eunuchs) who look a little awkward." ”

"It's good to get used to it." Zhu Ming said.

The eunuch system, the Zhu family, father and son, did not want to change it. In ancient times, all countries with huge territories seemed to be using this thing, but small countries did not pay much attention to it.

Zhu Ming took his wives and concubines in and chatted for a while, but saw that the brothers and sisters of the Zhao family wanted to speak and stopped.

"But you want to see your loved ones?" Zhu Ming asked.

Zhao Fujin bent down and said, "Please be accommodating." ”

"Go ahead, they're in the Inner Yanfu Palace." Ju Ming didn't care.

"Thank you, Mr. Thanks." The sisters were overjoyed.

Immediately, the eunuch led the way, accompanied by a maid from Xiangyang, escorted by a team of guards.

Those royal families and clan relatives were expelled from the palace at noon, and they were all escorted to live in the Inner Yanfu Palace. And men and women are no longer separated, and husbands and wives are allowed to reunite with their fathers and sons, and at the moment they are reminiscing about the old days.

Hearing that Zhao Fujin and Zhao Fujin were coming, they all went out in an instant, and they all wanted to climb the relationship.

As the emperor of the old Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan naturally walked in the forefront, and immediately said: "Huan, meet the two mothers!" ”

"Don't dare to be, brother, don't be like this." Zhao Fujin was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated.

In the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty, only when the emperor saw the queen mother, or the prince and the princess saw the queen, would they use the title "Niangniang".

Sometimes it is also distinguished by size, the queen mother is called the eldest mother, and the concubine is called the little mother.

Zhao Huan shouted his sister as his own mother when he met!

"It's been a long time since I saw the fifth sister and the fourteenth sister (fourteenth sister), and I really miss it so much." Fellow brother Zhao Yan is much more relaxed at the moment, he thinks that he is stable, and most of them will be treated preferentially.

Zhao Fujin and Zhao Fujin returned the salute and said, "Starling is fine." ”

Zhao Kai couldn't wait to ask: "Marshal Zhu allowed you to come over to visit, have you been relieved?" ”

Zhao Fujin shook his head: "No." ”

The eldest daughter of the emperor, Zhao Yu, asked: "Marshal Zhu really wants us to farm?" ”

Zhao Fujin said: "I can only try to help, but whether the money can be delivered or not must be agreed by my husband." ”

Zhao Jinnu, the second daughter of the emperor, said with emotion: "The fifth sister and the fourteenth sister are blessed, it is not like we have been reduced to prisoners, and we will have to rely on the two sisters more in the future." ”

"Try to help." Zhao Fujin didn't dare to say too much.

Zhao Huan was very anxious: "When will Zhu Xianggong ascend the throne?" I can write a Zen edict immediately! ”

Zhao Fujin shook his head: "I don't know." ”

"Do you agree to use the Zen position?" Zhao Kai slammed back mercilessly, and asked again, "Fifth sister, does the marshal have any intention of accepting a side room?" My sisters, who have admired the marshal's prestige for a long time, just want to be able to serve on the side of the couch. ”

"I don't know," Zhao Fujin said, "I don't dare to ask about these things." ”

Zhao Kai said: "Then please ask the fifth sister to ask." ”

In addition to these people, Yanfu Palace also guarded many women of Song Huizong.

Song Huizong fled all the way to the southeast, taking with him about forty concubines, all of whom were above Chongyuan. And there are more than 100 women he left in the Tokyo Imperial Palace, not to mention those who have no titles.

Zhu Ming really had a headache, and he didn't feel good about how to deal with it.

In the end, it was decided to let them marry, and the officials and generals from Sichuan, if they were willing to marry these women, and they were still single and unmarried, they could be given priority to Zhu Guoxiang for marriage.

Then there are the officers and non-commissioned officers who have made meritorious contributions, and those who are single are also given priority in marriage.

The civil officials are not willing to sign up, let them marry as concubines, one by one must be positive, but they want to marry a wife.

Now there are even Song Huizong's elders who are being detained, and the youngest concubine is only forty-two years old (Zhao Ji's sister-in-law......

These women, anyway, Zhu Ming was too lazy to care, and threw them to Shen Yourong and Zhang Jinping to negotiate and deal with.

Zhao Fujin and Zhao Fujin, two sisters, originally wanted to visit their relatives, but the atmosphere here made them very uncomfortable. Whether it is brothers, sisters, sisters-in-law, younger siblings, or brothers-in-law, they are all too polite, and they are almost offered as bodhisattvas.

When he spoke, he was also short, for fear of bumping into them.

"Brothers and sisters, it's getting late, come back another day." Zhao Fujin made an excuse to slip away.

"I'll send the fifth sister and the fourteenth sister!"

Everyone stepped forward and hugged the sisters and left.

Those unmarried princesses, seeing the two of them go away, all revealed envious eyes.

There is more than one book friend who mentioned the British Magna Carta, and also said that the king is under the law. If that thing wants to be realized, the county system will be reverted to the feudal system, and a bunch of feudal lords will lead the troops, and the Son of Heaven will be forced to accept the charter. There must also be a state religion, and the head of the sect has the power to crown the emperor, otherwise there is no way to stop the lord from killing the king and usurping the throne. Next, there must be several emperors who want to be beaten all over the head by the lord for violating the charter, or even killed by the lord. In the end, the emperor was completely seized of military and financial power by the lords, and only the royal army could be retained, and the Magna Carta was finally retained. The UK has gone through such a process, imagine if it can happen in China?
