Chapter 449: Long Wu - Move the capital and divide it
In the sixth year of Wude, the eighth day of the third month. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Late at night, Li Shimin, who will ascend the throne tomorrow, has not yet fallen asleep, and in the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, Li Shimin is sitting on the imperial couch, but he is a little distracted.
Some absent-minded.
"Your Majesty!"
Li Chao shouted twice before Li Shimin reacted.
"Oh, what did you just say to Lone?"
Li Chao arched his hand, "The minister has now changed his name to His Royal Highness as His Majesty, and His Majesty should also change his name to me." Tomorrow, Your Majesty will ascend the throne, but Your Majesty seems to have something on your mind? ”
Li Shimin patted the armrest of the couch with his hand, "Yes, when this day is really coming, I feel a little dazed." ”
"Your Majesty will get used to it in the future, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains have already been picked on your shoulders, just like the crown dress, carrying the sun and the moon on your shoulders!"
"I immediately fought the world, but now I can't rule the world immediately, these days, in contact with political affairs, hundreds of officials and hundreds of officials, every day, I really feel the difference between governing the world and fighting the world."
"Your Majesty actually doesn't have to worry too much, there are ministers of civil and military affairs, three provinces, six ministries and nine temples, all Your Majesty needs to do is to choose a prime minister, the general program, and then the three provinces and six ministries will each have their own divisions, and everything will go smoothly."
"Wen Yuan, in today's deliberations in the political hall, several governors have more objections to the matter of sending troops to Lingwu."
Li Chao listened quietly.
Li Shimin continued, "Pei Lin and Feng Lun also participated in the discussion today, Feng Lun not only opposed the dispatch of troops to Lingwu at this time, but even proposed to move the capital. ”
Moving the capital is nothing new. In fact, after the Turks moved south last year, the matter of moving the capital has been discussed in the imperial court.
In the end, it was even discussed several times in the government hall, and an important plan was almost formed. Both the emperor and the prime minister sent many officials to various places to choose the address of the new capital, and finally selected the Xiangdeng area in Shannan.
Xiangdeng is the Nanyang Basin of later generations.
chose Xiangdeng instead of Luoyang, it can be said that it was actually a lot of effort. In the five years of Wude, Luoyang has just taken the next year, the entire Central Plains region, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, is the most fierce place of war, the early bandits and soldiers repeatedly looted, to the later, Li Mi, Yu Wenhua and, Wang Shichong and so on are repeated fierce battles, almost into a ruin, ten rooms and nine empty, thousands of miles of red land.
Moreover, in terms of the defensive situation, Luoyang is far inferior to Chang'an, and similarly, it is not as good as the Xiangdeng situation.
Another point is that Xiangdeng is in the south of Luoyang and Chang'an, and it is also in the center of the world, and it has an excellent geographical situation and fertile plains and fields.
There is also an important reason for moving the capital, that is, because the productivity of Chang'an has been greatly reduced, and it is difficult to be self-sufficient in grain, and since the Western Wei Dynasty set the capital of Guanzhong, most of the fields on the Guanzhong Plain have become wealthy families, and there are many people in Guanzhong, but the imperial court can not collect much tax, and there is no land to equalize.
It has led to more and more embarrassment in the imperial court.
And moved the capital to Xiangdeng, where there is enough land, what is lacking is population. The imperial court moved the capital to Xiangdeng, you can immigrate to the past, grant land to the land, and at the same time transport tax money and grain from Henan, Jianghan, and even Jianghuai, southeast and other places to the new capital, it will also be very convenient, and there will be no trouble that money and grain cannot be transported into Beijing.
It can be said that there is no problem in moving the capital to Xiang and Deng and building a new capital.
However, in this situation, the capital was moved, but there was a suspicion of fleeing from the enemy, once the capital was moved from Chang'an to the Xiangdeng area, then most of the heavy troops originally stationed in Guanzhong would move to Shannan. This will make the defense of Guanzhong weaken more and more, and it will become a weak flaw, and it will become a big hole.
If there is no Turkic threat, Li Chao is also in favor of moving the capital, whether it is moving Luoyang or moving Xiangdeng, it can be accepted. Compared with the embarrassment of Guanzhong, there are many advantages to moving the capital.
But at this moment, the Turks are standing outside the northwest gate of Guanzhong, and the imperial court moves the capital at this time, so it is not like that.
Moving the capital at this time is not just as simple as moving the capital, this is a war-avoiding faction.
And Li Chao is a resolute main battle faction.
"Your Majesty, the enemy has put their knives to our throats, and we are still thinking about turning around and moving, which will not help, but will only show us cowardice. If the capital is moved, the defense of Guanzhong will be weaker, and it will be more difficult for Guanzhong to defend against the Turks. Once the Turks entered the Guanzhong Plain, it was no longer safe to build a new capital in Xiangdeng at that time. Your Majesty, the Great Wall can't stop the Turks, and it can't do it by moving the capital. If we want to move the capital, we will have to wait until we repel the Turks. Now, the Son of Heaven should guard the door! ”
"Wen Yuan, I have another important task for you."
"Tomorrow you are responsible for going to the Taiji Palace, please come to the East Palace!"
Li Shimin's enthronement ceremony was not held in the Taiji Palace, but in the East Palace, which was Li Shimin's insistence, Li Yuan was in one day, the Taiji Palace was Li Yuan's, he would ascend the throne in the East Palace, and he would also govern the world in the East Palace in the future.
However, Li Shimin can succeed to the throne in the East Palace, but tomorrow's ceremony, the emperor and Jiancheng and others must be present.
"I understand."
The ninth day of the first month of March.
Tai Chi Palace.
Li Yuan was already dressed solemnly, but he was not wearing a yellow robe today.
Li Yuan slowly peeled off a tea egg and ate it slowly with the gruel. Pei Lin and Feng Lun stood aside, quietly waiting for the emperor.
After Li Yuan finished eating two tea eggs and a bowl of gruel, Pei Lin asked, "Is Your Majesty ready to go?" ”
Li Yuan wiped the corners of his mouth with a cloth towel, "I didn't say I was going." ”
"Your Majesty is not going today?"
Li Yuan threw the cloth towel that wiped his mouth on the table, and said in a bad tone, "I didn't say no." ”
"This..."
"To go or not to go, I haven't decided yet."
Li Yuan picked up another tea egg and continued to peel it.
Li Chao also wore a solemn crown dress today and came to Taiji Palace.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Guogong is asking to see you outside."
Li Yuan's hand peeling the tea egg paused, and then he threw the half-peeled tea egg back into the bowl.
"Li San."
"Nope!"
Li Yuan said hatefully, he still hasn't forgotten the scene where Li Chao took Yu Chigong and others to enter the Taiji Palace and surrounded him by the sea pool. He thinks that he treats Li Chao well, but this person is a chaotic minister and thief.
A moment later.
Li overstrode over.
Li Yuan's face became more and more ugly, but the heaviest was just a cold snort. That day, Li Chao was able to lead people into his palace, and today, this palace can't stop Li Chao's footsteps.
Li Chao came in and bowed to Li Yuan.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites His Majesty to come to the ceremony and accept the congratulations of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the ministers of the court!"
Li Yuan glared at Li Chao angrily, "Chaohe? What is Chaohe, Chaohe I became the emperor? It's better to be free! ”
Li Chao took a step forward, "Today is an important day, Your Majesty deserves to be congratulated by all parties!" ”
Li Yuan turned his head.
"Your Majesty, the crown prince, please go!" Li Chao accentuated his tone a little.
Li Yuan turned his head and looked at Li Chao, "I misjudged you!" ”
"Your Majesty, please move!"
"I'm not feeling well today and can't go to the ceremony." Li Yuan also lost his temper.
Faced with Li Yuan's non-cooperation, Li Chao frowned.
But today's enthronement ceremony, Li Yuan must appear, not only Li Yuan has to go, Li Jiancheng Li Yuanji also has to go, Li Yuan's little princes also have to go, the Li family's clan, the ministers of the imperial court, one must be missing.
If Li Yuan doesn't go, then this ceremony will be ugly.
"Your Majesty, since you have decided to abdicate, why do you embarrass His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the last step?"
"Am I embarrassing the prince?"
"Does Your Majesty want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come and greet His Majesty in person?"
Li Yuan stopped, standing there and walking, not walking.
Pei Lin and Feng Lun glanced at Li Chao and stepped forward to persuade Li Yuan.
Li Yuan turned around and walked in front of Li Chao with an ugly face.
"Let's go, go to the East Palace!"
East Palace, Hall of Virtue.
When Li Yuan arrived, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.
At the beginning of the ceremony, Li Shimin was enthroned as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty under the worship of the ministers.
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji knelt down to worship the new Son of Heaven.
Li Shimin issued an edict, named Li Jiancheng as the Marquis of Hainan, named Li Yuanji as the Marquis of Hailing, and respected Li Yuan as the Emperor.
Li Shimin's second edict after ascending the throne was to officially promulgate the reward fiefs of the nobles. Whether it is the new nobles or the old nobles, their Yongye fields have been changed to the frontier, and the feudal accounts of the actual nobles have also been changed to the frontier of Xuntian. In order to appease the dissatisfaction of these old nobles, Li Shimin promoted most of these nobles to titles, changed many false seals into real seals, and increased the number of sealed households. Yongye Tian doubled, and Xuntian was rewarded.
The most surprising thing is that Li Shimin set up 36 states in the border of the Tang Dynasty at one time, and these states are newly established states.
Solidarity with the country, generations of feuds, descendants from generation to generation for the history of thorns.
It is said that it is the history of the world seal assassination, but in fact, it is equivalent to a vassal state in disguise. In fact, these states are not very large, because they are all set up in the frontier land, and many places are still inhabited by barbarians, and now the emperor directly divides thirty-six states, and then gives the thirty-six heroes with the greatest merit to the hereditary assassin history.
In the center of the Ping Domain, the place of intimidation.
As the first meritorious officer of the Xuanwu Sect, Li Chao is also one of the thirty-six Shifeng assassins.
Li Chao's Fengzhou is in Fengzhou. That is, the back set in the east set of the Hetao, which is located in the Bayannur Plain between Bayan Gaole and Xishanzui in the later generations.
Since the Han Dynasty, Fengzhou has been a strategic location.
The chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the loss of Fengzhou have not been recovered until this time.
Li Shimin directly sealed the territory on the map of Fengzhou to Li Chao, which can be regarded as unprecedented. In the Sui period, Fengzhou once had three counties, Jiuyuan, Yongfeng and Feng'an, with 1,900 households.
Moreover, from the Han to the Sui Dynasty, Fengzhou was one of the four major places of exile in ancient times.
Compared with the fiefdoms of other heroes, Fengzhou is relatively large and better, but after all, it is still in the hands of the Turks. But looking at the fiefdoms of the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Qin Shubao, they are actually similar.
Basically, the feudal states of the 36 meritorious heroes are almost the same as Li Chao, outside the actual line of control of the Tang Dynasty today, and they are places that historically belong to the territory of the Central Plains, such as the Hetao Plain, such as Liaoxi, such as Annan, and such as the Western Regions.
Li Chao couldn't help admiring Li Shimin very much, and came up with a history of the 36th Emperor's Assassination, but in fact, Li Shimin didn't take out any real money.
Whether you can really get these feudal states will have to wait for the imperial court to recover those places.
The history of the Shifeng Assassin is not called a vassal state, but it is also interesting, Li Chao didn't know about it before, and looking at the surprise of the eldest grandson Wuji, it is estimated that he didn't know it. Li Shimin probably got inspiration from the matter of changing the border wasteland for the household, and then came up with such a trick.
Draw a big cake for the heroes in the void, appease the heroes, and let everyone support the imperial court to exchange their feudal households and Yongye fields to the frontier.
This one, play beautifully!
