Chapter 1199 Old things
"Separate the eastern and western capitals?" Liu Xie pondered.

Some people have indeed mentioned such a plan. Since Chang'an and Luoyang have their own advantages and disadvantages, it is better to have both.Someone even put forward a more detailed plan, with the emperor guarding Chang'an and the prince supervising Luoyang.

There are also those who put forward the opposite opinion, the emperor guards Luoyang, and the prince guards Chang'an.

There is an advantage to doing this, the prince holds military power, he can be familiar with frontier affairs without worrying about being abolished, which is conducive to the stability of the succession of the throne.

Of course, this plan is obviously not good for the emperor, so no one dares to mention it explicitly, but only vaguely, for reference only.

There are many people who support this suggestion, but Jia Xu has never expressed his opinion.He raised this point now, isn't he also moved?
Jia Xu shook his head. "Why do the two capitals have to be the east and the west? They can also be divided into movement and stillness, virtual and real."

Liu Xie was a little confused, and motioned Jia Xu to elaborate.

Jia Xu also opened up the chatterbox.

Since someone proposed to establish the capital, there have been supporters for various plans, but he feels that these plans all have one thing in common: their eyes are limited to the Central Plains, and they are not broad enough.

Not to mention the Western Regions that have been included in the conquest targets, even the states within the current territory of the Han Dynasty cannot be taken into account.

Regardless of whether it is Chang'an or Luoyang, the area that can really be controlled is actually only within the Great Wall and north of Wuling.The Youyan Dufu Mansion, the Yanran Duhu Mansion, and the rebuilt Zhongshan Kingdom that the emperor focused on are not among them.In the future, when Sun Ce goes out to conquer the sea, there is a high probability that he will become a vassal state beyond his reach, free from the effective control of the imperial court.

This obviously cannot adapt to the current situation, nor can it meet the needs of the future.

Because, Jia Xu suggested maintaining the hunting patrol system and building two capitals of movement and movement.

The static capital is responsible for the handling of daily government affairs, while the dynamic capital patrols the world, especially the inspection of military forces in various places, and also has the function of supervision.

As for whether it is the emperor's inspection, the prince guarding the country, or the emperor guarding the country and the prince's inspection, it can be allowed according to the actual situation.For example, when the prince was young, he should guard the country and study government affairs with the three princes, while the emperor in his prime should patrol the world.When the prince is older and has a certain amount of experience, he will go to various places for apprenticeships, while the older emperor will guard the country, teach the emperor's grandson by the way, and train successors.

With the factor of the emperor's grandson, the crown prince did not dare to be too much to the emperor, so he could maintain a corresponding decency.

If this strategy is available, then both Chang'an and Luoyang can be used as capitals, or both.You don't have to be rigid about moving capitals. Everywhere the emperor or prince passes is the capital.

Liu Xie didn't comment immediately, but thought about it seriously.

Jia Xu's method has its merits, but in actual implementation, there are also many problems.

The emperor's tour of the world is very expensive, and it is also an unbearable burden for the localities.

Jia Xu said that there must be expenses, but not as much as imagined.

First of all, the reason why the emperor spent a lot of money on hunting tours in the world before was because of the constraints of various etiquette systems, there were many entourages, tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people, and there were also ministers and ministers accompanying them. Everyone must be treated in line with their official titles .If it is just a routine inspection, there is no need to make it so grand, more than a thousand people are enough, and there is no need to have all the ministers and ministers follow, it is enough to send one official in charge of supervision.

Secondly, although the governance of the country should be quiet, it should not disturb the local area too much.But managing soldiers is the opposite. If you don't patrol for a long time, the soldiers guarding the place will inevitably slack off.Frequent stimulation and review will help to urge them to train and maintain their combat effectiveness.

Finally, the inspection of the world by the emperor and the prince will help the local government maintain smooth roads, and it will also stimulate the development of vehicles such as chariots and ships, which is beneficial to the development of commerce.If His Majesty can open the road for the common people to use, the benefits it can bring will be enough to offset part of the expenses.

Liu Xie understood what Jia Xu meant.

Jia Xu has two main purposes: one is to emphasize the control over the army, and the other is to force the scholar-bureaucrats to reform the ritual system, simplify the system, and save money.

One of the main contents of inspections is the garrisons in various places. The emperor and prince systematically inspected various places and kept in touch with local soldiers, so that they could better control the army.

Inspections are expensive and have a lot to do with etiquette.By simplifying etiquette, you can cut expenses and be more pragmatic.

These two points are obviously beneficial to the maintenance of Kansai people, but not conducive to the Kanto scholar-bureaucrats.

Liu Xie decided to discuss it in the small circle around him first, and then make suggestions to Situ and Sikongfu after he has matured his consideration.

But he was satisfied with Jia Xu's support.

Generally speaking, Jia Xu's plan is very suitable for him.

Jia Xu did not object, but he suggested that Liu Xie take this opportunity to go further, as a trial.

"Jiaozhou has not yet been pacified. Why don't Your Majesty cross the river to see Ding Chong's deployment nearby, motivate the soldiers, and put some pressure on Shi Xie to force him to imprison himself as soon as possible?"

Liu Xie smiled. "Do you think Shi Xie will tie himself up and plead guilty?"

"Yes. I met Shi Xie on several occasions. At that time, he was in Luoyang and studied under Liu Tao. He was not a man for hegemony. But seeing the chaos in the Central Plains and being unable to control Lingnan, he became ambitious and imitated Zhao Tuo, Lu Jia wants to separate one side. Now that His Majesty has settled down the world, Sun Rui and Sun Ce are advancing side by side. They may have lost their courage, but they are worried that Sun Ce will kill and dare not surrender. As long as His Majesty sends an edict, he will You must come to the court with your clothes tied and your hands tied."

"You and Shi Xie are still old acquaintances?"

Jia Xu smiled, with a bit of self-mockery. "I have been a Lang in Luoyang for more than ten years, and I know a lot of people. It's just that I come from a humble background, and no one wants to make friends with me. If I am from the Kanto, or like Shi Xie, I will worship a Central Plains sergeant like Liu Tao Teacher, maybe it will be smoother."

"Where is Liu Tao from?"

"Yingyin County, Yingchuan County."

Liu Xie's heart skipped a beat.

It turned out that Shi Xie's teachers, Liu Tao and Xun Yu, were from the same county. No wonder Shi Xie was promoted so quickly as a border county scholar.

Compared with Shi Xie, Jia Xu was really far behind, so he had to go back to Xiliang and find his own way out.

Dong Zhuo's rebellion was essentially the resistance of Shandong scholar-bureaucrats to the systematic suppression of Liangzhou warriors.

They are too self-righteous, they really think they can do whatever they want and don't take Liangzhou people seriously.No matter whether it was Huangfugui and Zhang Huan who showed their interest in studying and studying, or Dong Zhuo's solicitation by coercive means, they could not get their approval.

As a member of Liangzhou people, and as Dong Zhuo's former confidant, Jia Xu remembered this moment deeply, so he took the opportunity to give them eye drops.

Since Shi Xie was a disciple of Liu Tao from Yingchuan, he was considered to be a member of Ruying's scholar-bureaucrat circle.He has separated Jiaozhou for so long, and even sent a large army to conquer, but the people of Ruying remained indifferent and did not show any sign.To say that they didn't keep it, it really doesn't make sense.

"In that case, let's take a trip to see Jiuyi Mountain."
