The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 357
Prince Jin's Mansion, Study Room.

The King of Jin looked at Su Tong, told Su Tong about the news from the palace, and then asked: "Mr. Su, do you think this is good or not?"

Su Tongjian was also surprised when he heard that Zhao Kuangyin intended to move the capital. Now that the Song Dynasty is prosperous, no one would think of moving the capital, and no matter who heard the news of moving the capital, everyone would be surprised.

Incredible, so incredible.

Su Tongjian was not in a hurry to answer King Jin's question, he just thought about it carefully before saying: "For the long-term development of the Song Dynasty, moving the capital to Chang'an is a very good choice."

Hearing what Su Jiaokan said, King Jin frowned slightly, and asked, "Please ask Mr. Su to clarify."

"Now that the Song Dynasty is prosperous, it is not bad to set the capital in Bianjing, but in the eyes of subordinates, there is a lot of danger. First of all, the Northern Han Dynasty is still alive. My Song Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty are bordering each other, and the Northern Han Dynasty is far away from the Northern Han Dynasty. The capital city of Bianjing is too close. If the Northern Han Dynasty was forced into a hurry, it is very likely that the troops would go straight to Bianjing city. There is no natural danger around Bianjing, and the Bianhe River added another way for the enemy to attack Bianjing. This is a small hidden danger. Furthermore, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are in the hands of the Liao people, and the danger of the Great Wall of our Han people is in the hands of the Liao people. Even if we destroy the Northern Han, it may be difficult to destroy the Liao in a few decades. If the Liao Kingdom cannot be destroyed, the Liao Kingdom may become stronger because of it, and at that time, the capital city of Bianjing will face the same problem."

After Su Tiaokan said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "But if the capital is moved to Chang'an City, these problems will not arise. Chang'an City is surrounded by mountains and can be attacked and defended. If the capital is moved to Chang'an, the stability of the Song Dynasty can be guaranteed. , and Sichuan and Shu are very close to Chang'an City, even if Da Song is in danger one day, he can still quickly hide in the land of Sichuan and Shu, and the danger of Jianmen Pass in the land of Sichuan and Shu can definitely guarantee the safety of Da Song."

After Su Yan finished speaking, he glanced at King Jin. King Jin nodded slightly, and said, "So, this king is going to support Shengshang to move the capital?"

Su Tongkan shook his head: "No, the prince wants to oppose moving the capital."

Hearing what Su Tong read, the King of Jin was a little puzzled: "Based on what you just said, the move of the capital has many benefits for the Song Dynasty. If that is the case, why do you oppose moving the capital?"

"Because moving the capital is beneficial to the Song Dynasty, but it is not good for the prince. Even if the capital is to be moved, the prince should come to move the capital, not the current emperor."

Although most of the time, Su Duan would consider everything for the Song Dynasty, but if King Jin couldn't be the emperor, why would he still consider these things?
"It's not good for the king?" King Jin didn't understand, it was just moving the capital, how could it be bad for him.

Su Tiaokan nodded: "That's right, it's not good for the prince. First of all, the foundation of the prince is in Bianjing. If the capital is moved, everything will be transferred to Chang'an City. On the way of the matter, it is possible to miss the prince's important business, and it may even expose some of the prince's problems, and then be caught by the current majesty, such a danger, the prince cannot take the risk."

Hearing these words, King Jin suddenly froze for a moment, why didn't he think of it?
Now my power in the capital can be said to be intricate, and there may be problems if I am not careful. How easy is it to move the capital with so many people?And if he didn't move there, how much power would he have in Chang'an City?

How can you win the battle for the throne if you don't have any forces available?

It is best for me to stay in Bianjing City.

This reason alone was enough to make King Jin give up supporting the idea of ​​moving the capital, so Su Lingming did not continue to say that it was unfavorable to King Jin, and King Jin asked after deeply frowning: "What is the impact of moving the capital on the Song Dynasty?" Good thing, if the Holy Majesty proposes it, there should be many people supporting it, if so, what's the use of my king's objection?"

Su looked at him with a slight smile, and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. In fact, although moving the capital is beneficial to Song Dynasty, there are not many people who are willing to support moving the capital. This is why the Holy Majesty did not directly propose moving the capital."

"Oh, how do you see it?"

"Just think about it, my lord. Many officials have established relationships in Bianjing City, and have contacts with various forces here. Are they willing to leave Bianjing with their families and go to Chang'an? People are selfish. They don’t care if it’s good for Song Dynasty or not, as long as it’s good for them, supporting the move of the capital is tantamount to giving up everything they’ve been doing for many years, who would want to?”

King Jin nodded, he thought what Su Tongkan said made sense.

"Furthermore, if you want to move the capital, you will have to spend a lot of money. Now the Great Song Dynasty is fighting with the Southern Tang Dynasty. After the war, the Southern Tang Dynasty will send people to restore it. All these require manpower and material resources. Where does the court have so much energy?"

"The most important point is that the people in Bianjing will not agree to move the capital. Bianjing is the capital, and they are the people at the foot of the emperor. They have a sense of superiority, and the capital is here, and they can get more benefits. In terms of money or honor, if they want them to suddenly change from the people at the feet of the emperor to the people of Bianjing, they will not agree. As long as the people object, so what if the Holy One persists? He will not look at the newly recovered Song Dynasty because of moving the capital And there was a lot of public resentment.”

After Su Tongkan finished speaking, King Jin finally showed a slight smile.
-
Wei Wangfu.

King Wei also knew the news in the palace, but he didn't express anything.

Because for him, whether the capital is moved or not, it has no effect on him.

Relocation is a major issue, and it cannot be resolved in a year or two, and what King Wei is going to do, he can't wait for so long.

The current king of Wei has lost his patience, he is not going to wait any longer, he has to rely on his own methods to seize the imperial power.

Chen Qing, who had only one arm left, fell silent after listening to King Wei's thoughts, and finally said after a long time: "Although the prince's method is risky, it is not impossible, and if the prince really wants to do it, it will be the best period of time Keep a low profile, and keep a low profile so that His Majesty almost ignores you."

King Wei smiled: "This king is clear about what you said, but whether my plan can be successful or not requires a person. I wonder if you have a way to find such a person?"

Regarding the situation that King Wei said, Su Tong seemed to agree very much, but he was not in a hurry to answer the questions raised by King Wei. Neither could be found.

If it was before, maybe he really couldn't find it, but now, he feels that he can find it, and he can find it soon.

"After a period of time when the Southern Tang Dynasty is destroyed, all the officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty will be taken to the capital. Among those people, there is one person who is exactly what the prince needs."

After hearing Chen Qing's words, King Wei immediately understood who Chen Qing was referring to, but he was a little puzzled: "Will that person be willing to help?"

Chen Qing smiled: "My lord, the revenge of destroying the country, do you think she will help?"

"But how can you be sure that she will help me?"

"Because what she hates is not the prince, but the current majesty."

The wind in early summer became hotter and hotter. When King Wu Zhao Dezhao returned to his residence, he informed Xia He of his father's intention to move the capital. Xia He was stunned for a moment.

"My lord agrees?"

"In order to please the royal father, I naturally have to agree. Why, is there anything wrong with doing this?"

Xia He nodded. She felt that it was very inappropriate. Now King Wu Zhao Dezhao's power is comparable to that of King Jin. King Jin's power is intertwined, but his King Wu's power is not intertwined. If the capital is moved, can King Wu still keep these powers?
If someone had mischievous intentions on the way to move the capital, could King Wu still rely on his influence?
Xia He stated her point of view, and her point of view was similar to what Su Jiaojian said to King Yu Jin, but after Xia He finished speaking, King Wu Zhao Dezhao shrugged helplessly: "It's useless to know, I already I promised my father, if I go back on my word, what will my father think of me?"

Xia He also knew this situation, so she could only save it as much as possible.

"Don't worry too much, my lord. His power will be affected by this, and the kings of Jin and Wei will not be affected. If the sage is really inclined to the lord, moving the capital may be a good thing for the lord."

Hearing Xia He's words, Martial King Zhao Dezhao finally regained some confidence.

"So, the king still wants to persuade our people to agree to move the capital?"

"The prince doesn't have to force them, all he needs to do is tell them. They can agree or disagree, but they must not spoil the matter of the prince. In fact, for the prince, it is better not to move the capital if possible."

When Xia He said this, King Wu Zhao Dezhao immediately understood, even if he, the prince, agrees to move the capital, his own people also agree, but is it really possible to move the capital?

Based on Xia He's analysis just now, at least the King of Jin would not agree. If the King of Jin disagreed, the King of Wei would certainly not agree. That was the pressure to move the capital, and it was by no means as simple as I imagined.

After thinking about this, King Wu Zhao Dezhao showed a slight smile.

And when he was smiling, he suddenly wanted to know what Liu Wei thought. For such a big event, Liu Wei might play a decisive role. I don't know if his father had mentioned it to Liu Wei.

In fact, what King Wu Zhao Dezhao didn't know was that Liu Wei knew about this matter long ago, and Zhao Kuangyin also consulted Liu Wei. Liu Wei told Zhao Kuangyin the advantages and disadvantages of moving the capital and not moving the capital. Make up your own mind, on this matter, Liu Wei decided to stay out of it.

The wheel of history is rolling, and Liu Wei is sometimes very small. All he can do is drift with the flow. He wants the Song Dynasty to have long-term stability, but he also wants Bianjing to have the kind of prosperity depicted in the Qingming Riverside Map.

He might be able to change the direction of history, but he chose to give up.
