Tang Dynasty: Starting from Kou Zhong, the heavens rise!

However, Chang'an was to the west, closer to the Western Regions, Central Asia and even Europe, and was more suitable as the center for Chu to rule the entire world.

However, the hasty establishment of Luoyang and Jiangdu will inevitably cause turmoil, and Chang'an is not suitable for the influx of too many people to live, which will cause the eight hundred miles of fertile land in Guanzhong to be overdrawn and exhausted in advance.

Now, the establishment of Jingzhao Mansion covers most of the Guanzhong Plain area.

Then Luoyang Prefecture was established in Luoyang, and Yangzhou Prefecture was established in Jiangdu, which was equivalent to the municipality directly under the Central Government in later generations, and could give full play to their location advantages.

"Since your Majesty has talked about this, let's discuss it."

"How is Shi Zhixuan's daughter better than my daughter? Why did my daughter meet the king first, but his daughter became his wife instead."

Lu Miaozi looked at Kou Zhong with an unkind expression, and glanced at Shi Zhixuan from time to time.

This is why Shi Zhixuan is now in a peaceful mood, and with Shi Qingxuan by his side, his temperament has become much docile.

If he had put it before, he would not have had a fight with Lu Miaozi.

"senior!"

"Should I ask Xiu Xun's opinion first on this matter?"

Kou Zhong said helplessly.

He can't just give this thing to anyone he wants, he has to consider whether they are willing or not.

Moreover, according to Zhou rites, the king has one main concubine and two concubines, and the rest are all concubines. Now, Song Yuhua, Wanwan, and Shi Qingxuan alone have three wives, and he has no plans to name them concubines.

"I am her father. I can make the decision. You can decide whether to give it to Madam or not."

Lu Miaozi ignored Kou Zhong and directly blocked his words.

At this time, even Shi Zhixuan and Chen Laomou looked at Kou Zhong without blinking. It was obvious that they were extremely concerned about the concubine.

Facing the looks of several people, Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, I can give it, but there are some things I'd better explain clearly first."

"I don't want to be named a concubine for the time being, but after unifying the world, there will be no queen, only six noble concubines."

"The wife promised today will be the imperial concubine in the future. What do Senior Lu, Evil King, and Elder Chen think?"

"Very good!"

After thinking about it, Lu Miaozi and Shi Zhixuan were both satisfied.

If there is no queen, the noble concubine is the highest. Shang Xiuxun, Shi Qingxuan, Wanwan, and Song Yuhua can all be noble concubines. They don't care who the remaining two are given to.

"The matter has been decided like this. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will select a day to go to each government to recruit people and welcome Xiuxun, Qingxuan and Wanwan into the palace."

After looking at the two of them, Kou Zhong said again.

"Can!"

Neither Lu Miaozi nor Shi Zhixuan had any objections to this.

Since sooner or later they have to get married, get married early, and have children early, how nice it would be for them to be grandfathers.

"Yes."

Chen Laomou, the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, happily accepted the order.

There is naturally no shortage of ordinary gold and silver jewelry, jewelry and jade, but if Kou Zhong wants to hire someone, he naturally needs to prepare some elixirs.

Several batches of red fruits, ginseng, fleece-flower root, snow lotus, and ganoderma have been ripened in the imperial garden, and there is no shortage of them, all of which are hundreds of years old.

"Where do you plan to put the new palace?"

At this time, Lu Miaozi had entered the topic and asked.

"Longshouyuan, I want to build an imperial palace in Longshouyuan, an imperial palace bigger than Daxing Palace!"

Looking at the few people, Kou Zhong did not hide his inner ambition at all and expressed his thoughts without hesitation.

In a broad sense, Longshouyuan is the vast plain between the Chan River, Bahe River and Jianhe River. This is a mountain plain that symbolizes the dragon's veins. It goes north from Fanchuan in the southwest of Chang'an and spans sixty miles to the north of Chang'an City outside the city. , adjacent to the Royal Forbidden Garden and the shore of the Weishui River, is the highest point of the entire mountain plain. It is called the Dragon Head Plain. Because of the high terrain, it is called the Dragon Head Plain.

Dragon Head was originally the Sanjiu Linshe place in the north of Daxing City in the Sui Dynasty. There is the Guande Hall inside, where the shooting ceremony was held.

The later Tang Dynasty built the Daming Palace here, which once became the political center of the Tang Dynasty.

"Liuyao, Jiuyi Highland, Dragon Head is really good."

Lu Miaozi sighed in admiration.

"It is condescending and overlooks the entire Chang'an City. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is most suitable for the imperial palace to be built in Longshouyuan."

Even Shi Zhixuan expressed his agreement.

After receiving the two's confirmation, Kou Zhong immediately said to Chen Laomou, the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs: "... mobilize the generals as supervisors to cooperate with Senior Lu and King Xie to complete the construction of the Daming Palace. If necessary, we can ask the Ministry of Works to cooperate."

In the Chu State, the Ministry of Industry was responsible for the construction of national buildings such as cities, bridges, and dams, while the Ministry of Internal Affairs was responsible for the construction of royal buildings such as palaces.

Yan Lide, the general eunuch, whose father was a young eunuch in the palace in the Sui Dynasty, and his younger brother Yan Liben, who was also a general eunuch in the later Tang Dynasty, presided over the construction of the Daming Palace.

"Yes."

Chen Laomou responded immediately.

Just as Kou Zhong was arranging the construction of the imperial palace, a knight in brocade clothes hurriedly entered the palace and reported: "Your Majesty!"

"Huaizhou urgently reports that Du Fuwei has led his army to surrender to our country. Huaizhou Governor Gui Xiliang and Huaizhou Wei Xingrong have taken over the two counties of Liyang and Zhongli."

"There is an urgent report from Yuhang. Zhibingdian's army sank Luoyan formation and killed Faxing. The Donghai navy captured Piling and Danyang counties. Hengbo's left general Zhang Gongjin led [-] troops to break through Wu County and kill Liu Yuanjin. Hengbo's right generals Chai Shao and Rui Shi General Li Qing first recovered the three counties of Kuaiji, Dongyang and Yongjia."

"Xuancheng urgently reports that Xuancheng County Governor Cui Jixiu and Xuancheng County Lieutenant Bao Zhifu have led [-] troops to recapture Xin'an and Sui'an."

A series of news shocked the entire hall.

"Good! Wow!"

"Jiangdong and Jianghuai are already under control, and now only Xiangchu, Bashu, central Guizhou, and Lingnan are left."

Hearing the news, Kou Zhong also looked happy.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Chen Laomou, Shi Zhixuan, and Lu Miaozi all congratulated.

At present, they are tied to the Chu State. They are both prosperous and suffer losses. The strength of the Chu State is their strength, which is gratifying.

"Edict: Gui Xiliang, the governor of Huaizhou in the Jin Dynasty, and Wei Xingrong of Huaizhou were made earls, and were given the titles of Uncle Zhongli and Uncle Lujiang. They were allowed to recruit Du Fuwei's troops, expand the army to [-], guard Huaizhou, and closely monitor the Jiangdu and Huaibei areas. Sui army and anti-king movements.”

"Let Du Fuwei's troops leave only 1 people and sail into Chang'an."

"Jin Cui Jixiu and Bao Zhifu were named Wanlingzi and Shouchangzi. They established Huizhou with the six counties of Zhongli, Danyang, Liyang, Xuancheng, Xin'an and Sui'an. Cui Jixiu was appointed as the governor of Huizhou, and Bao Zhifu was appointed as the governor of Huizhou. Lieutenant, let him expand his army to [-] to guard Huizhou."

"Hangzhou was established from the six counties of Piling, Wujun, Kuaiji, Yuhang, Yongjia, and Dongyang. Zheng Shiyi was appointed as the governor of Hangzhou, and Xie Hou was appointed as the captain of Hangzhou."

"Disband the Shuanglong Gang, and all the top officials of the Shuanglong Gang will rush to Chang'an. The gang members will be taken over by Hangzhou and Donghai Navy, the shipyard will be taken over by the Ministry of Industry, and the rest of the industry will be taken over by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Shen Luoyan, the military commander of the Jin Dynasty, was made a marquis, with the title: Yuhang. Zhou Shaofan, the admiral of the Jin Navy, was made an earl, with the title: Qiantang."

"The left general of Donghai Navy, Lu Mingxing, the right general, Lu Mingyue, are named Viscount Jin. Their titles are: Shanyin and Shangyu. The commander of the elite army, Xuan Yong, is named Viscount Jin. Their titles are: Juzhangzhuang."

"Zhang Gongjin, the left general of Jin Hengbo, and Chai Shao, the right general of Hengbo, are viscounts, with titles: Yueqing and Nanping, and Li Qingxian, the commander of the sharp warriors, is the captain of light vehicles."

"Transfer the Hengbo Army to the vicinity of Ngee'an County, and order Zhibingdian Army Shen Luoyan to return to Chang'an today and make other arrangements."

After thinking for a moment, Kou Zhong issued several orders in succession.

Next, there is Donghai Navy guarding the south of the river. No matter it is the outer sea or the Sui Xiaoguo army entrenched in Jiangdu, it is impossible to cross the river and go south. Hangzhou is the safest state, but Minzhou is close to Lingnan and must be guarded against.

Furthermore, the [-] Hengbo troops were not only to guard Minzhou, but also to tell the Song clan at all times that the world had changed!

"Yes!"

Jin Yitiqi turned around and left again.

In the same month, the whole world was shocked. The land of Jianghuai and Jiangdong belonged to Chu State. Of the five points in the world, Chu State already had two. The momentum was too strong.

The four great clans and the rebel kings from all walks of life have changed their expressions, especially the Southern Liang and Song clans. The Chu army has been pointed at them, like thorns on their backs, and they are always on guard. This feeling is very uncomfortable and even more uncomfortable.

Chapter 99: The concubine Xuan enters Chu, I want to be your wife!

Daye 13, April [-]th.

Lingnan, Song clan of Nanhai County.

"Brother!"

"What happened to you calling us all here in such a hurry?"

Earth Sword Song Zhi, Silver Dragon Song Lu, Song Shidao, and Song Yuzhi all walked into the Tiandao Hall one after another. They saw that Song Que had already put on dark blue brocade clothes, and several people's eyes couldn't help but become solemn. This was the last time in the past 30 years. It was the first time that Song Que dressed so formally.

"I just received news from Jianghuai."

"Du Fuwei has surrendered to the Chu State. Liyang and Zhongli counties have fallen into the hands of the Chu State. Chu has taken all of Huainan except Jiangdu."

After looking at his brother, son and daughter, Song Que said expressionlessly.

what?

heard.

Earth Sword Song Zhi blurted out: "Du Fuwei is also a prince after all, so he just gave up?"

Not only him, Song Shidao and Song Yuzhi also had disbelief on their faces.

"Brother!"

"Du Fuwei's Fu Gongyou comes from Tianlian Sect, and it is said that he is also assisted by Zuo Youxian, who is the true descendant of Taozu."

"Is this matter related to the Demon Sect?"

Silver Dragon Song Lu was indeed the wisest man in the Song clan, and he suddenly thought of the key to the problem.

"Correct."

"News came from Chang'an that Shi Zhixuan and Zhu Yuyan have joined the Chu Kingdom, and they will serve as the first-class Imperial Academy and Nuyuan sacrificial wines."

"The Imperial College is divided into state schools, county schools, and county schools, which specialize in teaching the Four Books and Five Classics, astronomy and geography, internal strength, and martial arts to young students."

"The functions of the Women's Garden are almost the same, but the Women's Garden basically admits women. It is the Yingui disciples who serve as wine worshippers in the Women's Garden in various states and counties."

"Also, the State of Chu has popularized martial arts halls, which are similar to Imperial College and Women's Garden."

Song Gao then revealed a piece of news that shocked everyone.

Song Zhi, Song Shidao, and Song Yuzhi talked about the matter of the martial arts hall as soon as they returned to Lingnan.

But no one thought that the two leaders of the Demon Sect: Evil King Shi Zhixuan and Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan would join the Chu Kingdom.

"Brother!"

"The Demon Sect has existed for thousands of years. Now, with the destruction of Buddhism, it is a good opportunity for the Demon Sect to show off their skills. How could they choose to join the Chu Kingdom?"

Silver Dragon Song Lu immediately raised questions.

Earth Swordsman Song Zhi, Song Shidao, and Song Yuzhi also paid attention to Song Que.

Song Cao nodded and added: "If we follow common sense, the Demon Sect will undoubtedly become stronger."

"But Koo Zhong has an unparalleled domineering character and has publicly declared that no sects or gangs are allowed to exist in Chu State."

"Except for Zhengyiyi, all the forces currently under the rule of Chu State have either disbanded or surrendered."

"Moreover, Shi Zhixuan's daughter Shi Qingxuan and Zhu Yuyan's disciple Wanwan have become the wives of King Kou Zhong of Chu."

"The Chu State has now announced to the world the four wives of the King of Chu. In addition to Yuhua, the remaining ones include Shang Xiuxun, the former owner of Pegasus Ranch and the daughter of Lu Miaozi. The King of Chu, Kou Zhong, has recently ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to recruit her. "

At this time, Song Lu and others were speechless.

Shi Zhixuan's daughter, Zhu Yuyan's disciple, and the next headmaster of the Yin Gui sect, all became wives. No wonder the Evil King Shi Zhixuan and the Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan were able to obtain such high positions if they wanted to join the Chu Kingdom.

And Song Yuzhi already had an angry look on her face. She obviously knew Kou Zhong earlier, so why was she like this!

"There is one more message."

"A few days ago, Shen Luoyan, the military commander of Chu State, led the Donghai navy to land at Piling. The formation killed Faxing and destroyed all the Shen family in Wuxing."

"One hundred thousand Hengbo troops have returned to Kuaiji, Dongyang, and Yongjia, and are now rushing to Nghe An."

"Xin'an and Sui'an have also joined the Chu State, and Jiangdong has all fallen into the hands of Kou Zhong."

Another piece of news came out of Song Que's mouth, which once again made everyone's expressions change drastically.

"How dare? How dare he?"
