The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 166 Opening the Road to the Sui and Tang Dynasties
[In the first month of 492 AD, a fifth-level imperial edict was issued, stipulating that those who were distant relatives of the clan and were not descendants of Taizu Tuobagui and those with different surnames were demoted to the rank of duke, the duke was demoted to the rank of marquis, and the marquis was demoted to the rank of uncle. The sons and sons remained unchanged. 】

[Ordered the ministers to discuss the order of the Five Elements, and adopted the suggestions of Secretary Cheng Li Biao and others, thinking that the Jin Dynasty should inherit Cao Wei's virtue, and the Northern Wei Dynasty should inherit Jin's water virtue. 】

……

Eastern Jin Dynasty and Emperor Ming Dynasty
Sima Shao sneered.

“Empty words come as soon as you open your mouth.”

"Has the Zen position been given to you?"

……

Liu Song Dynasty: Emperor Wen’s Period
"You fart!"

Liu Yilong said harshly:

"I, the Great Song Dynasty, am the one with the best virtues!"

……

[In April, a new law was promulgated, which abolished the chariot splitting and beheading in the waist in the Northern Wei Dynasty and replaced them with three levels of beheading, beheading and hanging. 】

[The punishments of the five Yi tribes and the three Yi tribes were reduced. The five Yi tribes were demoted to the same ancestor, the three Yi tribes were demoted to one sect, and the sect was punished to itself. 】

A minister wearing fur robes and a felt hat was persuading Tuoba Hong earnestly:

"The hexagrams are false and true. We cannot rely on God's will in using military force. Qi is united in its will at this time and cannot attack."

Tuoba Hong, wearing a wide robe, long sleeves and a cage crown, sat on the couch and said calmly:
"I don't want to go south."

The minister who was persuading was stunned when he heard this.

Tuoba Hong continued:

"The country sprang up in the north and has always used Pingcheng as its capital. Although it is rich from all over the world, it has not yet been unified."

Standing up and walking to the palace door, Tuoba Hong put his hands on his back and looked into the distance, sighing:
"Pingcheng is a place where military force is used, but it is not a place where culture can be promoted and cultural and educational governance can be implemented."

"Mount Xiao, Hangu Pass, and Luoyang on the Yellow River are the places where ancient emperors lived."

Tuoba Hong turned back to look at the minister and said in a deep voice:
"I want to move to the Central Plains on a large scale in order to unify the world and glorify the country."

The picture looks down at the Central Plains through Tuoba Hong's eyes.

The Xianbei Emperor, dressed in fine attire, led more than 300,000 infantry and horsemen, and set out from Pingcheng with the ministers of civil and military affairs, and marched southward all the way.

Passing through Sizhou, Bingzhou and other places, Tuobahong dismounted and went to visit the local elderly in person and asked about their sufferings.

When he met a lame or blind person on the road, he stopped his car to ask about the cold and warmth, and gave him food and clothing.

The scene slowly drifted into a dark cloud.

There were lightning and thunder, and there was wind and rain.

"Drive! Drive!"

The wheels of the carriage pulling the baggage got stuck in the mire, and the Xianbei soldiers beat the horses in the heavy rain.

Behind the vehicle, the soldiers shouted slogans and pushed the cart.

"Your Majesty, it has been raining for more than a month. The roads are muddy and it is difficult for the army to move forward. It is better to take a short rest."

Under the heavy rain, Tuoba Hong, who was wearing a helmet and armor, fought with other ministers in a simple tent.

The ministers persuaded the emperor to stop advancing.

Tuoba Hong looked at the ministers with angry faces.

"Now that the whole country's troops are marching south, it is known to everyone in the world. Is there any reason to return without success?"

"Soldiers are valuable and quick, give the order to continue marching!"

When a minister heard this, he cupped his hands with a grimace and said:

"Your Majesty, after a month of marching in the rain, the soldiers can no longer hold on. I hope that your Majesty will be considerate of the soldiers and take a rest."

Tuoba Hong calmed down his anger after hearing this, thought for a moment and said:

"Luoyang is thirty miles ahead, so let's move there."

The minister's joy was palpable when he heard this, but he didn't pay attention to the word "move" at all. Just chanted:

"Your Majesty is wise!"

……

[In May 493 AD, Emperor Xiaowen decided to move the capital to Luoyang, but he knew that many among the Xianbei nobles would oppose his move south. 】

[Therefore, he led the army and hundreds of officials to the south in the name of the Southern Expedition, and deliberately made people feel that the journey was full of hardships and dangers. 】

[In August, the pampered life of the nobles and soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty in Pingcheng for nearly a hundred years has exhausted the courage and heroism of a horseback nation, and they can no longer endure the hard days. 】

[So the ministers began to advise Emperor Xiaowen not to continue going south. 】

[Emperor Xiaowen pretended to be reluctant and paused. Where did he stop? Just stop in Luoyang. 】

[In September, the army arrived in Luoyang. 】

[At that time, although many Xianbei ministers were unwilling to move inland, they did not want to continue the southern expedition, so they had no choice but to comply and decided to move the capital. 】

……

Big man,

Liu Bang touched his beard and realized something.

If there was talk of moving the capital from the beginning, those nobles would definitely not do it.

But after letting them experience the hardships along the way, they found a place by themselves.

Ok……

If Xiao He and others are directly allowed to work, they will definitely be dissatisfied, but if I learn from Qin II...

Liu Bang's eyes shone with a strange light. Lu Pheasant on the side felt a chill!
There is a thief!
……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Huo Qubing stared at the sky and said in surprise:
"Moving the capital? Are you going to abandon Kyoto that has existed for hundreds of years?"

"And this process is too childish!"

Liu Che leaned back and leaned against the soft couch, his face gloomy.

"A major event like relocating the capital cannot be so simple and must require many considerations."

Huo Qubing was stunned for a moment. Forgive his blindness for not seeing it.

"The two measures of moving the capital and equalizing land made the Northern Wei Dynasty more and more dependent on farming. This is a key point."

Liu Che looked at Huo Qubing, who was confused, and told him the factors here.

I still expect you to be a general, but that won't work if you don't understand the internal affairs at all.

"And another consideration is the military factor."

He briefly drew a few strokes on the desk with wine, Liu Che pointed at the desk and said:
"The rise of Rouran in the northern grasslands will definitely pose a threat to Pingcheng's security."

"After all, Pingcheng is obviously too far north compared to Rouran's geographical location."

Seeing Huo Qubing who understood the matter clearly, Liu Che did not say much and continued:
“There is another factor that cannot be ignored in moving the capital.”

"economy."

Liu Che leaned on the soft pillow,

"The Tuoba clan has established its capital in Pingcheng. Many people will come to Pingcheng for various reasons and settle around Pingcheng and Pingcheng."

"The land environment near Yiping City cannot withstand such rapid expansion."

"As the population of the capital increases, the food supply for Pingcheng will not be enough."

"For Xianbei, when they first entered the Central Plains from the grasslands, Pingcheng was a good place for the Tuoba family."

"However, as their power expands further and further south, Pingcheng and its surrounding environment will become increasingly desolate compared to the scenery and conditions provided by the south."

"At this time, the vast farmland in the Central Plains becomes even more important."

After hearing this, Huo Qubing thought for a while and then said:

"Then why not move the capital to Yecheng?"

"Yecheng is located further north than Luoyang, and under Cao Cao's management, the farmland around Yecheng is in better condition than Luoyang."

"After all, Luoyang has experienced repeated wars and destruction since Emperor Ling, and it is difficult for the economy to recover."

"From a military and economic perspective, Yecheng's capital conditions are better than those of Luoyang?"

Liu Che sneered:
"But Yecheng does not have an imperial atmosphere and is not the residence of an emperor."

"This Tuoba Hong no longer thinks that he is the clan leader of the Xianbei Tuoba clan."

"It's the Emperor of China. He has the self-awareness of an emperor and the ambition to rule the entire world."

"But... too much is never enough."

Based on his "personal experience" Liu Che is not optimistic about the follow-up of Tuoba Hong's reforms.

You can change it if you want to, but the nobles of Xianbei may not necessarily want to change it.

Even if it is promoted temporarily, it is hard to say whether your children and grandchildren can stick to it!

……

Eastern Wei,

Gao Huan, who was sitting at the bottom, looked at the sky and said to Yuan Xiu, who was sitting at the top:
"Emperor Xiaowen quickly made an unhesitating decision after the death of Empress Dowager Wenming, which shows that Empress Dowager Wenming was still able to control the political situation three years after her death."

"Emperor Xiaowen was so eager to make the decision to move the capital. I'm afraid he also wanted to get rid of the influence of Queen Mother Wenming, right, Your Majesty."

Yuan Xiu forced out a smile and said reluctantly:
"What the Prime Minister said is a bit biased."

Gao Huan stared at Yuan Xiu without saying a word, until Yuan Xiu wiped his cold sweat with his sleeves and then smiled:
"In order to show his filial piety, Emperor Xiaowen once built a longevity palace on the side of the Queen Mother's Mausoleum on the top of Fangshan Mountain."

"But after moving the capital to Luoyang, Emperor Xiaowen seemed to have forgotten about this matter. He rebuilt a cemetery for himself in Luoyang and changed the longevity palace into the Wannian Hall."

"Then he was buried in Changling, where Queen Xiaowenzhao is buried."

"Two tombs depend on each other, one is tall and the other is short."

"It is exactly the opposite of the shape of Yonggu Mausoleum and Wanniantang."

Gao Huan stared at Yuan Xiu and said with a smile:

"It can be seen that Emperor Xiaowen could no longer bear the shadow of the Queen Mother and was unwilling to be buried in the accompanying mausoleum next to the civilized Queen Mother's mausoleum."

"Isn't this the most powerful explanation of Emperor Xiaowen's personal emotions in moving the capital to Luoyang?"

The hands blocked by the case were clenched into fists, Yuan Xiu nodded with a smile and said:
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I have learned a lot."

……

[In 494 AD, Emperor Xiaowen officially announced that the capital would be moved to Luoyang. 】

[The custom of the Xianbei people is to braid their hair with left lapels, men wear hakama pleats, and women wear clothespin collars and small sleeves. Most people cannot speak Chinese. These are not in line with the customs of the Central Plains. 】

[Moreover, when the newly moved people first came to Luoyang, they had no room with a single rafter to live in, no storage for food, no good at agriculture, and they were nostalgic for the past. 】

[These problems all hindered the consolidation of the Northern Wei regime. 】

[With the support of Han scholars such as Wang Su, Li Chong, Li Biao, and Gao Lu, Emperor Xiaowen immediately began to reform Xianbei's old customs and comprehensively implement Sinicization. 】

……

　Starting from the move of the capital to Luoyang, the road to prosperity in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was opened by Emperor Xiaowen.

　　In other words, the aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty should be a continuation of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
