Master Gao Zheng actually really wanted to know who the woman in front of him was who could draw a sword faster than him and defeated him in ten moves. He said: "One hundred taels, I will give you one hundred taels of silver. Please tell me who you are."
.”
"Seven hundred taels!"
"Two hundred taels!"
"Six hundred taels!"
"Three hundred taels!"
"Five hundred taels!"
"Four hundred taels! No more." Master Gao Zheng finally said.
Zhang Chuchen said without hesitation: "Okay! It's a deal."
"Then tell me who you are, and after you tell me, I will give you four hundred taels of silver." Master Gao Zheng said.
Zhang Chuchen was not afraid that the other party would not give it to him, and said, "I am the witch Zhang Chuchen you call me."
Everyone's expressions changed greatly when they heard this, and then they suddenly realized that it was Zhang Chuchen, the witch who ranked second on the Xiaoyao Ranking. No wonder he was able to defeat Gao Zhengshi in less than ten moves. But a peerless master at this level could
If you can't have some moral integrity, how come a good martial arts competition has become like this...
While Zhang Chuchen continued to think of ways to defraud money, Wang Junlin and his party had already arrived at a secluded place to sit down and rest. At this time, a blue-clad guard in civilian clothes hurriedly arrived. After saluting, he whispered to Wang Junlin:
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has sent someone to invite you to the palace to discuss matters."
…
…
In the royal study room of the palace, a eunuch reported at the door: "Your Majesty, Young Inspector Yuwen is back."
Young Inspector Yuwen is the future Young Inspector Yu Wenkai. He was sent by Yang Guang to Luoyang a month ago to survey and select the location of the new capital. He just rushed back to Daxing City and went directly to the palace. Yang Guang has also been waiting for his report. At this time
When he heard that he had returned, he immediately said with great joy: "Hurry up and announce his presence!"
Yu Wenkai was about fifty years old and the son of Yu Wengui, the former general of the Western Wei Dynasty. He came from a family of military generals. Both his father and brother were famous for their bows and horses. He was eager to learn, good at crafts, and especially good at architecture. He designed and built Daxing City.
In the fourth year of the emperor's reign, Yu Wenkai led the hydraulic engineering team to dig Guangtong Canal, which led the Wei River to the Yellow River, more than 300 miles from the east of Daxing City to Tongguan, making transportation more convenient, and all the wealth in Guanzhong came from here.
Because of this matter, Yu Wenkai is known as the first craftsman of the Sui Dynasty, and his achievements can be described as great. When the Guanlong nobles fiercely opposed the move of the capital more than a month ago, Yang Guang had already sent Yu Wenkai to Luoyang in advance regardless of it, to conduct preliminary exploration.
Addressing.
After a while, Yu Wenkai hurriedly walked into the imperial study, stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, Yu Wenkai!"
"My dear, there is no need to be polite. I have been waiting for news from you for many days."
"I will report to His Majesty now."
Yu Wenkai was very good at drawing design drawings. This time he was well prepared to meet His Majesty. He took the drawings with him. At this time, he quickly took the drawings from his back. Several eunuchs came forward to help spread the drawings on the table. Two
The eunuch held an oil lamp in his hand, and another eunuch found a wooden pole and handed it to Yu Wenkai.
The city of Luoyang has existed since ancient times, but Yang Guang not only wanted to move the capital, but also did not want to use the old city of Luoyang. He wanted to build a new capital. He wanted to build a capital that would be passed down to generations. He did not even consider rebuilding or expanding the old city.
He wanted to build a large-scale capital, a Sui Dynasty capital that could match the great achievements he was going to make, comparable to the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty.
After the drawings were prepared, Yu Wenkai said loudly: "I first chose a place with good Feng Shui, secondly I considered the convenience of transportation, and thirdly I considered disasters, so I traveled hundreds of miles near Luoyang City and finally found a place to avoid suspicion.
It is a place with excellent Feng Shui and is most suitable for building a capital city.”
Speaking of this, Yu Wenkai pointed to an open tunnel in the middle of the mountains: "This area reaches Yique in the south, Mang Mountain in the north, and the Luoshui River runs through it. The soil is flat and the foundation is stable. I checked the local chronicles and found that since the beginning of the Warring States Period, this area has been
There have never been major disasters since then, so building a capital here can be passed down for eternity."
Yang Guang stared at the map and did not express his opinion immediately. He said to his left and right: "It is said that the important ministers of the three provinces and six ministries and the commander-in-chief of the Blue-clothed Guards Palace came to the palace to discuss the location of the new capital."
The eunuchs on the left and right left immediately to convey the order, and Yang Guang led his people to move the Dazheng Palace. Soon, ministers from the three provinces and six ministries entered the palace one after another. Only the commander-in-chief of the Blue-clothed Guards went out of the city to do business. He had already sent a fast horse to summon him and could not come back for a while.
Yang Guang and others did not wait for the king to come and had already started discussing matters. Yu Wenkai told the ministers what he had said to Yang Guang before. Yang Guang glanced at the ministers and said: "Dear ministers, what do you think of the matter of moving the capital?
What do you think?"
Everyone knows that Yang Guang attaches great importance to moving the capital. In addition, since Yang Guang ascended the throne, the ministers have understood Yang Guang's character and know that this master is a headstrong man who likes to make arbitrary decisions. If his words comply with the emperor's wishes,
It will gain the attention of the emperor, and it will be reused if it is used more frequently. However, if one's ideas are contrary to the emperor's, he will naturally be disliked by the emperor, so that today's important ministers will not speak easily, and people like Su Wei and Yu Shiji have consciously obeyed the emperor in everything.
This made him even more favored by Yang Guang.
Seeing Yang Guang frowning, Chang Sun Sheng came out and said: "Your Majesty, I thought Master Yuwen had considered all aspects of the place he chose. However, although Luoyang is a huge place in the Central Plains, its shortcomings are very obvious. First of all, there are no mountains and rivers like Guanzhong.
The dangers of defense, therefore, I believe that the security and defense of the new capital must also be considered."
Changsun Sheng's words were the words of a mature man seeking a country, but Yang Guang felt unhappy after hearing these words. He had already led troops to fight when he was a prince, and when he destroyed the Nanchen Kingdom, they were basically siege battles. How could he
Security and defense will not be considered, but Yang Guang is now the most confident and high-spirited. He never believes that when he is the emperor, there will be someone who can lead troops to Kyoto, but Changsun Sheng has always been the one he trusts most.
I am a minister, so I am non-committal, neither affirmative nor negative.
Pei Shiju hesitated for a moment, then left and said: "Your Majesty, I think what General Changsun said is true. Luoyang is surrounded by open space and the terrain is flat. Although there is the Yellow River in the north, the Yellow River freezes in winter and becomes a smooth road. Once the Turks move south, they will be flat.
.”
Yang Guang frowned even more tightly, but he still held back and did not express his position. Now he has to rely on the Hedong and Shandong nobles to check and balance the Guanlong nobles. Pei Shiju is the representative of the Hedong nobles in the court. It is not easy to criticize him too much, so he is cold.
He snorted and still didn't express his position.
He looked at a group of officials from Guanlong clan headed by Yuan Zhou. The latter group looked calm and had no intention of speaking. Yang Guang suddenly felt unhappy.
Yang Guang knew that the Guanlong nobles had been hit too hard in recent days, so that the officials of the Guanlong line were not only quiet at court meetings these days, but also less motivated to work after they left.
Nowadays, no less than one-third of the officials in the imperial court are officials from the Guanlong aristocracy. Of course, Yang Guang can issue an order to punish officials who do not do their jobs well, but this will not solve the problem.
