Chapter 2031 The Attitude of the Southern Ministers
Now there are a lot of Northern Zhou troops on the other side. Only by transporting more troops and horses to the north bank as quickly as possible can we open up a position that can allow the Han army to hold on and wait for all the subsequent troops to cross the Baigou. Therefore,
The military's intention to build bridges is understandable.
However, since it can be solved by alternative means such as floating bridges, it is better to use alternative means as much as possible.
Li Xingchen also knew how many kilograms and taels there were in the treasury, and it would be better to save a little.
After the military generals left, Li Xingchen took a breath and rubbed his temples.
Sometimes having too many people is not a good thing.
There will be conflicts between the military and civilian officials over funding issues, there will be conflicts between officials from the north and the south over personnel allocation issues, and there will even be conflicts within the six ministries and the military over competing for tasks and military exploits. Now His Majesty is on the march in person.
, these things naturally all came to Li Xinchen. Since His Majesty is here, it is best to let His Majesty make the decision. Otherwise, wouldn't His Majesty look like a mascot?
In fact, sometimes Li Xingchen really wants to be a mascot.
But maybe when he becomes a mascot, he will struggle to gain real power.
As expected, what you can’t get is always the best.
"Your Majesty should pay more attention to rest and take care of the dragon's body." Chen Shushen cupped his hands towards Li Xingchen. His Majesty showed a visibly tired look. Although he came all the way and threw himself directly into the intense work, in the end he was responsible for all the work.
He is just a household minister, but His Majesty is responsible for a huge world, and the pressure he bears is incomparable.
Li Xingchen waved his hand and said he was not worried: "What's going on in Jiankang Mansion now? Is your sister okay?"
Chen Shushen also felt a little more relaxed. His Majesty obviously didn't have anything to give him when he left him, he just wanted to talk about household matters.
For Chen Shushen, this is not a bad thing. His status as the uncle of the state allows him to do many things conveniently. Everyone must always be courteous to the uncle for the sake of His Majesty and the Queen. For example, today,
Even if they were not in front of His Majesty, the military generals would not dare to do anything to Chen Shushen.
"The south has been very peaceful recently, and my sister is also thinking about His Majesty. She always mentions that we haven't seen him for a long time." Chen Shushen said with a smile, "Fortunately, the road is smooth now, and letters from home are better than before, and we can always talk about missing each other."
bitter."
Li Xingchen nodded. The south is peaceful, which means that the civil and military ministers in the south have gradually accepted the fact that the capital has been moved to Luoyang and the country's political center has moved north.
It is inevitable that the political center will move northward. Although the south has developed rapidly in recent years, the foundation of the north is still here. In addition, the idea that the Central Plains belongs to the world, and the emperor should reside in the Central Plains and control the world is still deeply rooted, so
It is impossible for Li Xingchen to abandon Luoyang or Chang'an and keep the capital in Jiankang Prefecture.
Even during the Song Dynasty, the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River was actually better than that of the Central Plains. However, Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, was still called "Pian'an" just like the Jin Dynasty's clothes when they traveled south.
What's more, Li Xingchen has now completed the layout of Nanzhong, Lingnan and Nanyang. All that's left is to wait for people to reproduce from generation to generation and the population to increase from generation to generation. What Li Xingchen really needs to worry about is the north. Three hundred years of war have devastated the country.
The north is full of ruins. How to calm the people and revitalize them as soon as possible is the most important thing.
The movement of the political center to the north naturally means the movement of capital, culture, etc. from the south. Funds from the south will surely feed back the north and drive its development.
As long as the civil and military officials in the south do not block it, no one can stop Li Xingchen from reaching this point.
Chen Shushen said with a smile: "Your Majesty may not know that many merchants and even literati in Jiankang Prefecture are now heading north to Luoyang. It is conceivable that by the end of this year, Luoyang will be prosperous again.
"
Li Xingchen was startled for a moment, stroking his palms and sighing: "This is a good thing."
Obviously, the people in the south are no longer inclined to insist on Jiankang Prefecture as the capital, and have gradually begun to accept the re-emergence of Luoyang, the political and cultural center in the traditional Chinese sense. Since they have no way to change this fact, then they can at least make themselves
Be the first to occupy a place in the re-established city of Luoyang.
With public opinion already being like this, it’s no wonder that officials stopped talking about it and the most important thing was to quickly mobilize their families to go north.
If my movements were any slower, I might not even have time to drink the soup.
"I have already discussed with the queen. After the north is pacified, the queen can go northward with hundreds of civil and military officials left behind," Li Xingchen said directly, "Maybe we can reunite on New Year's Eve next year."
Chen Shushen smiled slightly, His Majesty's trust in the Queen was indeed beyond many people's expectations, and his sister's loyalty to His Majesty was indeed beyond everyone's expectations.
This model couple is indeed enviable.
"At that time, my family members will also be able to follow Luan on his journey north, which will be regarded as a blessing to His Majesty."
"You have gained a lot of glory." Li Xingchen pointed at him and said with a smile, "I will have to give your sister a toast when the time comes."
"Of course!" Chen Shushen agreed quickly.
The monarch and his ministers immediately smiled at each other.
——————-
"Your Majesty, it's getting late, why don't you go to bed early?" Yu Chizhen put together the memorials that Li Xingchen had corrected. Seeing Li Xingchen staring at the map in a daze, she couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.
Li Xingchen came back to his senses and saw that Yu Chizhen couldn't help but yawn, so he nodded: "Zhen'er, go to bed first."
"That's not possible." Yuchizhen said decisively, "If anything else happens to your Majesty, when the word gets out, the sisters will say that I didn't take good care of you."
Li Xingchen couldn't help but look around: "There are no outsiders here, who can talk nonsense?"
"Then your Majesty also needs to rest early. Today, General Hussar asked the eldest princess to come in and ask questions. She said that Your Majesty seems to be not in good spirits but is not feeling well. Sister Cai came forward to explain it." Yu Chizhen smiled.
said.
Li Xingchen was startled for a moment. No wonder Cai Rong didn't give him a good look when he came to him to approve the documents today. He was just causing trouble for her again.
"Okay, let's rest." Li Xingchen reluctantly glanced at the map again. His eyes crossed the Baigou, passed through Yecheng, and landed on the location of Youzhou in the north.
Youzhou has always been the battlefield that Li Xingchen was most worried about. In contrast, Li Xingchen was confident about the battle at Baigou and the battle situation in Hedong.
No matter what, we must cut off Yu Wenxian's retreat and catch turtles in a jar. Otherwise, if Yu Wenxian runs to the grassland or to Liaodong, it may be another disaster.
This guy is a tough guy who can't be beaten to death.
Yu Chizhen obediently stepped forward to help him undress: "Your Majesty, do you want to take a bath? I just sent someone to boil water."
