Chapter 1068: The capital is moved to Luoyang, and the countries are united to protect themselves
"This old thief is much better off!"
Su Mingzhe put out the fire, identified Zhu Wen's body, and had him taken to Luoyang City to be paraded through the streets.
Although Luoyang City was destroyed twice during the Anshi Rebellion and Huangchao Rebellion.
However, Emperors Tang and Liang had their capitals and lived here for a long time, so the traces left by the wars have long since dissipated in historical time and space.
Nowadays, the prosperity of Luoyang is ten times or a hundred times better than that of Chang'an.
Seeing that winter was approaching but the city of Luoyang was still blooming with flowers, Su Mingzhe felt excited and sent someone to Chang'an to convey the decree and order all officials to come to Luoyang to attend court.
End of October.
Queen Cui Yingying took all the concubines in the harem, followed the civil and military officials, and went down the river in a dragon boat to Luoyang.
After visiting Luoyang for a few days, the concubines began to blow the pillow wind in the men's ears and begged the emperor not to live in the palace but to live in Shangyang Palace.
There are two "imperial palaces" in Luoyang, namely the "East Palace" and the "West Palace".
‘East Palace’ is the imperial palace in Luoyang City.
The ‘West Palace’ refers to Shangyang Palace, so named because it is located in the west of Luoyang City.
This Shangyang Palace was first built during the Emperor Gaozong period of the Tang Dynasty. It was built on the basis of the Sixteenth Garden of the Sui Dynasty. It has been more than 200 years ago.
Rumor has it that on the day Shangyang Palace was built, Wei Hong, the Sinong Qing in charge of the construction, was impeached and removed from office because the construction was too gorgeous and extravagant.
This shows how extravagant the construction of Shangyang Palace was.
After the Shangyang Palace was built, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty moved his capital to live here with Demon Empress Wu Zhou and his concubines.
Many subsequent emperors, including Emperor Zhu Wen of Liang Dynasty, only Tang Dezong did not live here because he did not like extravagance. The other emperors all lived here and handled government affairs.
And these many emperors lived there for a long time, which added a lot of scenery and palaces to Shangyang Palace.
It can be said that the current Shangyang Palace is countless times more prosperous and extravagant than it was during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty.
When these women saw the grand scenery of Shangyang Palace, they were naturally not willing to return to the palace to live there.
Su Mingzhe doted on women and immediately let his concubines live in Shangyang Palace.
As for himself, he still has to work in Luoyang Palace on weekdays.
It's the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye.
Khitan, officials of various states in the Liang Kingdom, were redefined.
Pei, Nanping, Wuyue, Wu, Qi, Chu, Xing, Tubo, Nanzhao, Min and more than a dozen small vassal states sent envoys to congratulate him.
Su Mingzhe was not interested in these compliments.
Directly ask the Ministry of Rites to respond. After next spring, he will lead the army southward and put down the chaos in the feudal towns in the late Tang Dynasty.
If the leaders of various countries were informed and interested, they should surrender voluntarily.
In this case, one can still be forgiven and retain a wealthy and noble body.
If anyone dares to resist stubbornly, they will be turned into powder when the army breaks through the city.
Facing such a tough declaration from the Han Dynasty, more than a dozen envoys were all frightened and looked pale, as if they were mourning.
…
"Lord Shi, please stay!"
Lu Yan, the envoy of the State of Pei, thought it was an official of the Ministry of Rites of the Han State who was calling him, so he quickly lowered his head and turned around, only to see the envoy of the State of Qi smiling and holding his hand in front of him.
"It turns out to be Mr. Song!"
Qiqiu of Song Dynasty was an envoy of Xu Zhigao, the leader of Qi State.
Xu Zhigao, also known as Li Sheng, the founder of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
After his adoptive father Xu Wen passed away, Xu Zhigao took the title of General of Southern Wu, and then proclaimed himself the Lord of Qi.
This time, all the vassals came to congratulate the Han Kingdom for destroying the Khitan and Liang Kingdoms. Xu Zhihao also sent envoys.
"Master Lu, how about we find a place to chat?"
Song Qiqiu smiled and invited.
Faced with Song Qiqiu's arrangement, Lu Yan did not dare to refuse:
"Then I'll trouble Song Envoy to make arrangements."
Outsiders can see that Xu Zhigao will usurp Wu Zili sooner or later.
The country of Pei had no more than three states and only one hundred thousand soldiers and horses. The reason why it was able to establish the country was entirely due to natural dangers.
The territory of Southern Wu was vast, with nearly fifty states, a population of two to three million, and four to five million soldiers.
The gap in national power between the two countries was so great that Lu Yan naturally had no confidence in front of Song Qiqiu.
Not long after.
The two of them arrived at a restaurant and asked for a private room.
Lu Yan originally thought it was just a gathering of two people.
Who would have thought that after a while, the dozen or so envoys from the vassal states who had just been dispersed at the Han State's Ministry of Rites would actually gather together.
…
Zhang Kui, the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the Imperial City, hurriedly entered the palace to ask for an audience:
"Your Majesty, the envoys of the State of Qi have colluded with other envoys in order to join forces to resist the might of the Han Dynasty!"
"This is all lice on a bald man's head. It's obvious. If we want to attack others, shouldn't we allow others to resist?"
Su Mingzhe smiled slightly and said carelessly:
"I, the Han Dynasty, have monopolized six of the nine states in the world. No matter how the remaining countries unite, they cannot stop the great trend of unifying the world!"
Seeing that Zhang Kui was about to speak but hesitated, Su Mingzhe motioned for him to continue.
Zhang Kui said cautiously:
"Your Majesty, I have heard a piece of news. The prince Wu Luan sent as a hostage by King Nanping is a fake. The real prince Wu Luan is now a hostage in Wuyue. It is obvious that King Nanping and King Wuyue have been secretly colluding. Together."
"In addition, Pei Liang, the leader of Pei State, intentionally betrothed his sister, Princess Qingping, to Yang Cang, the governor of Nanwu Jingzhou. Now that Xu Zhigao, the leader of Qi State, is about to rebel, Yang Cang is likely to take the opportunity to stand on his own feet or defect to Pei State!"
"King Ma Chu..."
"Well, I know everything, and continue to monitor closely!"
Su Mingzhe waved Zhang Kui away and continued to deal with government affairs with his head down.
After annexing Khitan and Liang, the territory of the Han Dynasty doubled, and the population directly exceeded 20 million people.
In order to facilitate management, Su Mingzhe planned to implement a "provincial system".
According to the current territory, it is divided into twenty-five provinces. State capitals are established under the provinces, and counties, towns and townships are subdivided under the state capitals.
After the Han army was stationed in the villages and towns, the imperial power of the Han Dynasty could also go to the countryside.
In ancient times, due to comprehensive reasons such as roads, culture, customs, etc., the imperial power could basically only reach the county level.
The reason why Su Mingzhe planned to send imperial power to the countryside was because aristocratic families, powerful families, and prominent families had been greatly weakened by the troubled times, leaving a vacuum in local power.
It would be wishful thinking to wait a few years for new dignitaries to appear before trying to bring imperial power to the countryside.
In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival is over.
The fourth year of Jianwu came.
Just when Su Mingzhe was preparing to lead his army on an expedition, good news came from the harem that Cui Yingying was finally happy.
"It's not easy. It's been four years. If I don't get pregnant, I will be an invalid!"
Su Mingzhe traveled across the heavens and became emperor for several generations. When it came to heirs, he always passed the throne to his eldest son.
And this eldest son must be the eldest son of the emperor.
As a result, Cui Yingying followed him for four years and never got pregnant.
The other concubines in the harem were all sharpening their knives. As soon as Cui Yingying made a mistake, they would rise up and replace him.
Fortunately, Cui Yingying didn't give these women a chance.
Su Mingzhe thought for a moment, and before setting off, he called the matchmaker and gave her instructions.
The child in Cui Yingying's belly is her eldest son and must be protected.
After receiving the order, the matchmaker took Cui Yingying to live in Luoyang Palace that day, far away from the other concubines living in Shangyang Palace.
