The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 363 Move the capital to Chang'an
Jin Wangfu.

King Jin soon knew what happened in the palace.

So he brought Su Another Kan to ask Su Another Kan for his opinion. Su Another Kan thought for a moment and said, "Although Luo Tongshen has been arrested, it is not appropriate for us to place our people in the imperial army prematurely at this time, because His Majesty's reaction was a bit strange."

"Strange?" King Jin frowned slightly, as if he had discovered something.

Su Another looked and nodded: "Gu Donglin was arrested on the charge of concealing weapons, and Luo Tongshen was also arrested under our frame. The Holy One is not stupid, can't you see that there are many suspicious points in it? But he didn't He didn't raise any matter for investigation, he just imprisoned Luo Tongshen, and there was no follow-up matter at all."

"You mean to say that the Holy Majesty was suspicious, but he didn't take action because he had a bigger conspiracy?"

Su Tiaokan nodded: "That's right, so if we are in a hurry to install people now, we will be caught in the trap of the Holy One. In fact, we can't rush for such a thing. It's better to take it slowly, and there are more important things now. The prince needs to do it."

"More important things?"

"Yes, if your expectations are correct, it's time for your majesty to propose moving the capital to Chang'an."

Hearing the words of moving the capital to Chang'an, King Jin frowned slightly. This is not a trivial matter. It is related to whether he can preserve his own power, and he must face it cautiously.

"Mr. Su is right, well, since that's the case, let's wait a little longer on the placement of troops."

Qin's restaurant.

Gu Donglin picked up a glass of wine, looked at Liu Wei and Zhan Qing, and said, "If Master Liu and Zhan's guards hadn't rescued each other, I would have died unjustly in prison. I don't want to thank you for your kindness. I, Gu Donglin, will remember this kindness." down."

For Gu Donglin's words, Liu Wei showed a slight smile. In fact, if you want to bribe someone, why should the person say that he is willing to surrender, as long as he understands that everyone can share wealth and suffering together.

"Teacher Gu is polite, I have no friendship with you before, it's all thanks to the guards."

Gu Donglin smiled and said: "This is clear to me, but if it wasn't arranged by Mr. Liu, how can I wash away my grievances, thank you very much."

After finishing the polite words, everyone started to drink, and when they were about half drunk, Liu Wei suddenly stopped.

Although everyone is happy today, you can't drink indiscriminately or drink too much. As the coach of the Imperial Army, Gu Donglin has a lot of alcohol, but Liu Wei said stop, and he didn't force it, so he stopped drinking immediately.

Zhan Qing got Liu Wei's hint, and called Gu Donglin out, Liu Wei had some things to say, but Zhan Qing and Gu Donglin were friends, so he could mention it a little bit.

And just after the two of them left, Qin Yun came out from behind.

"My lord, do you think this ancient Donglin can be used by us?"

"A person like Gu Donglin is not afraid of any threats, nor will he be tempted by money and beauty, but he has a weakness, that is, he is too affectionate. I saved his life, so he will naturally be used by us."

After hearing Liu Wei's words, Qin Yun suddenly asked, "Is your lord also a person who values ​​affection?"

Qin Yun's words were very small. She thought that only she could hear them, but Liu Wei still heard them. He looked at Qin Yun and smiled, and patted her shoulder. It stayed on the cheek for a moment.

"People who love love suffer."

Qin Yun's heart suddenly warmed up. Although it was only a small movement, even though it was just a very common sentence, her heart suddenly warmed up, and she was very happy.
-
In the early summer, when the morning came this morning, it was raining outside, which made this summer a lot cooler.

After the officials finished talking about some things routinely, Zhao Kuangyin looked at the officials in the court and proposed the matter of moving the capital to Chang'an. After Zhao Kuangyin proposed, it immediately caused a sensation in the court.

It had already been faintly rumored that the emperor intended to move the capital to Chang'an, but if Zhao Kuangyin hadn't said it himself, these courtiers would not have believed it.

But the current situation is that Zhao Kuangyin spoke up in person.

Looking at the ministers, Zhao Kuangyin asked: "Chang'an city is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and it is dangerous to defend. Moving the capital to Chang'an will allow me to live forever in the Song Dynasty. Compared with Bianjing, the road is too flat and too close to the enemy, so it is easy to be defeated." The enemy is approaching from the south, and I want to move the capital to Chang'an, what do you guys think?"

The riots continued for a long time.

After a while, King Wu Zhao Dezhao stood up and said: "Chang'an is the ancient capital of the Tang Dynasty, extremely prosperous. If we can move the capital to Chang'an, our Great Song Dynasty will surely be able to reproduce the glory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty."

When King Wu Zhao Dezhao said this, his people also stood up and expressed their approval. Their reasons were also varied. Some said that Chang'an City had a good atmosphere, and others said that Chang'an City was strong and the enemy could not break it.

Of course, some of Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao's people also opposed moving the capital, but they got hints from Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao, even if you disagree, you can't stand up and say it, even if you don't express your opinion, you can't say it.

What Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao needs is that there must be a consistent voice in his team. If anyone dares to jump out and sing a different tune, let's see if he doesn't break that person's leg.

All of a sudden, the court was full of Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao's people talking there, Zhao Kuangyin was a little happy, his son really had the same heart with him, and seeing that his son was not weak, and he had the strength to compete with King Jin and King Wei, He is also very pleased.

But at this time, Shen Yilun, the prime minister of the dynasty, suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, moving the capital is a major event for our dynasty. It cannot be said to be resigned. Moving the capital to Chang'an does have a lot of benefits for our Song Dynasty, but we have to consider the actual situation at the moment." , For example, moving the capital requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and the Song Dynasty was at war with the Southern Tang Dynasty, do we have the energy to move the capital?"

As the prime minister of the dynasty, Shen Yilun couldn't do everything according to Zhao Kuangyin's wishes. Zhao Kuangyin wanted to move the capital, but had he considered the actual situation?Even if Zhao Kuangyin couldn't consider it, Shen Yilun could not. If he didn't consider it, he would be incompetent as a prime minister.

When Shen Yilun opened his mouth like this, those who opposed the move of the capital immediately stood up and expressed their opinions. Their reasons were also various. It is also said that since Chang'an City went through the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Rebellion, it has not been as good as before, and it is not as prosperous as their current capital.

So wait.

For a moment, the two major forces above the court were at war with each other, and the debate was inextricably linked.

Zhao Kuangyin sat on the dragon chair and looked at the officials in the hall. Liu Wei closed his eyes slightly, as if these things had nothing to do with him. This let Zhao Kuangyin know that Liu Wei didn't want to participate in this matter. Participate in political affairs, but how can he control the relocation of the capital?

Standing in the crowd, King Jin was neither sad nor happy or even anxious. No matter how loud the two sides were arguing, he never said a word.

King Wei was calmer than King Jin, and he didn't even take these things seriously.

After Zhao Kuangyin glanced at it, he waved his hand. Seeing this, the courtiers quickly fell silent.

"The matter of moving the capital is a matter of great importance. I didn't think about it on a whim, but I thought about it for a long time. The terrain of Chang'an City is dangerous and can keep our Great Song Dynasty stable. Compared with Bianjing, it is too open. It is very easy for us to fight the enemy. But it is also very easy for the enemy to attack us, as for the capital, it is better to have a steep terrain, so that it can be more stable, isn't it?"

From Zhao Kuangyin's words, everyone can hear what Zhao Kuangyin meant. He insisted on moving the capital. If no one can persuade Zhao Kuangyin, the matter of moving the capital may be a certainty.

And just when the officials were muttering to themselves, King Jin suddenly stood up and said, "My lord, my younger brother does not agree to move the capital."

Zhao Kuangyin frowned slightly. Judging from the people who opposed him this morning, he knew that his younger brother was going to oppose the move of the capital. In fact, he moved the capital not only because of Wuxin Monk's words, but also because he wanted to break the current power structure in the capital.

"Oh, why does King Jin object?"

"My lord, the city of Chang'an is stronger than Bianjing, but if we move the capital to Chang'an, can we really protect the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty for thousands of years? If it can really protect the foundation of the court, why did the Tang Dynasty be invaded by Anlu Mountain in Chang'an more than 100 years after the founding of the country? , Why did the Tang Dynasty encounter disasters that wiped out the country after less than 300 years of foundation, and caused the entire land to be devastated?"

King Jin's sentences were dignified, and his words were soul-stirring, and the courtiers were very excited when they heard it.

"I believe that the prosperity and comfort of a country lies in virtue and not in danger. If the monarch and his subjects are united, the monarch and his subjects are in harmony, the emperor's virtue is convincing, and the people admire him, even if there are no natural dangers around the capital, so what? Thousands of people can be in danger for a day."

After King Jin finished speaking, Zhao Kuangyin fell silent immediately.

Virtue is not in danger, this is a very high-sounding statement, useful or useless, but Zhao Kuangyin can't refute it, because he refuted it, saying that he doesn't value virtue, so how can he convince the public?
Faintly, Zhao Kuangyin seemed to have seen the power of public opinion, and based on this sentence, these people strongly opposed the move of the capital.

In fact, in Zhao Kuangyin's view, virtue is very important, but if there are natural dangers and virtues, wouldn't it make the country stronger?

Maybe the monarchs in the first few decades of the Song Dynasty could have good virtues, but who can be sure that they will have good virtues in their own descendants?
But just because the virtues of the descendants are not good, will he be destroyed in the Song Dynasty?

Moving the capital to Chang'an is for the sake of future generations.

But can he say that?
Everyone wants their country to be stronger and their descendants to be extraordinary, so who wants to mention the possibility that their descendants may be scum?

He felt that Jin Wang saw this, so he dared to say such a grandiose big talk in the court.

After a long time, Zhao Kuangyin frowned slightly and said, "We will discuss this matter later."
