Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Luoyang's status is not low, Chang'an is the capital, Luoyang is the capital, and it is called the east and west capital.

However, since forty years ago, the Tang Dynasty has lived in Luoyang for a long time.

There are many reasons here, and the most talked about reason among the people is: Wu Zetian killed Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu in order to be the queen. Before she died, Concubine Xiao Shu cursed: In the next life, she will become a cat and bite Wu Zetian to death (Wu Zetian is a rat). Chang'an has many cats, and Wu Zetian was weak-hearted, so he persuaded Li Zhi to go to Luoyang to live for a long time.

Of course, this is a talk about chasing after the wind and shadows, Gaozong Li Zhi is a generation of heroes, how can Wu Zetian listen to whatever he says? Of course, he has his own considerations.

First, after the chaos of Wuhu Chaohua and the end of the Sui Dynasty, Guanzhong was already dilapidated and unable to support the entire imperial court. So, what about transporting grain from somewhere else? Still won't work. Land transportation is too expensive, and water transportation is impossible because of the natural risk of Sanmenxia.

So much so that such a strange appearance was formed: the five grains were abundant, and the Tang Dynasty was working in Chang'an. In the case of a famine, the emperor had to take the civil and military officials and eunuchs and palace maids to Luoyang to "eat". To put it mildly, the emperor took everyone to escape from the famine, which was too embarrassing.

So, from an economic point of view, moving the capital to Luoyang is a very correct choice.

Second, both Li Zhi and Wu Zetian want to suppress the Guanlongmen valve. Chang'an, as the base camp of the Guanlongmen valve, is intertwined. Working here, not only is it easy to be constrained, but you also have to be careful of unexpected changes.

Therefore, politically speaking, moving the capital to Luoyang is a very correct choice.

Third, the terrain of Luoyang is very good. In the stream, heaven and earth meet, there is the danger of Taihang in the north, Wan and Ye Zhirao in the south, the east pressure the river, Huai, the benefit of the lake and the sea, the west Chi Kun, the Mi, according to the treasure of the Guan River. Therefore, militarily speaking, moving the capital to Luoyang is a very correct choice.

Now the question is, why change the move of the capital, which has been achieved in 40 years and is very correct economically, politically, and militarily?

The answer is that it is obvious that Wu Sansi really can't go to the wall, and Mrs. Wu decided to completely return the world to the Li family. That's why she wants to return to the capital city that belongs to the Li family.

People are of the same mind, of the same mind, and that of others, apparently aware of this.

Zhang Cambodia, Princess Taiping, Shangguan Wan'er, Yuan Shuji, Huan Yanfan, and Zong Chuke all knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty Shengming, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Hanoi Wang Wu Yizong, Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi, Prime Minister Yang Zaisi and Zhang Xi knew that they couldn't do anything, and after a little hesitation, they also knelt down.

This time it's good, only Wu Sansi and the Zhang brothers are standing up there.

Wu Zetian glanced at Erzhang and said in a deep voice: "Wulang, Liulang, don't you want to oppose me?" ”

"I ...... I ......"

Under Wu Zetian's prestige, his eyes flickered, and finally he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Shengming, minister...... No objection. ”

Her Majesty looked at Wu Sansi again and said, "King Liang, what about you?" ”

"Wechen...... Wechen ...... Of course, obey the Holy Commandment! ”

Wu Sansi gritted his teeth, was ruthless, and slowly knelt down. He understands that this kneeling will completely insulate him from the position of the prince, and this kneeling may not even be able to save his life after a few years!

Wu Sansi couldn't help but think in his heart, aunt, aunt, this ...... Is that your punishment for me? My nephew never thought it would be against you!

That's it! You are unkind, I am unjust, from now on, we are just relying on our own means. When the time comes, don't regret it!

In the blink of an eye, Wu Sansi's mood had regained his calmness, and he said slowly: "From now on, Weichen will no longer have anything to think about. He must be loyal to assist the prince and make the Great Zhou Dynasty eternal. ”

Wu Zetian nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's rare that King Liang knows the general situation so well. In the next few days, you will concentrate on investigating the case of Cao Hao's manslaughter of Wu Zhixuan. ”

"Wechen obeys!"

Then, she looked at Wu Youyi again and said, "King Jian'an, are you still satisfied with my disposition?" ”

The masters of Cui Geng are all the next generation of emperors, what else can Wu Youyi say?

He hesitated slightly, and then said: "Weichen thinks that Cao Hao's hand is the strength of his abdominal muscles, but the dog's martial arts are quite good. This case is indeed very strange, and there is King Laoliang. ”

"King Jian'an also knows the general situation very well, and I am very relieved."

From Wu Zetian's point of view, he didn't want to completely defeat Wu Sansi, nor did he want to disappoint the great hero Cui Geng, so it was of course best to be able to make peace with the mud like this.

However, Her Majesty the Empress was satisfied, and Yuan Shuji was too tired.

He understood that the real reason for Her Majesty's dismissal was the case of the crown prince Li Xian. Now I am afraid that making myself the Shaoqing of Dali Temple is just the beginning, and next, I am afraid that there will be even greater derogation.

Seeing Cui Geng, who had harmed himself to such an end, not only helped Li Xian to take the throne, but also helped Cao Hao solve the murder case, and won today's biggest prize, can he be happy in his heart?

Yuan Shuji simply broke the jar and said: "Cui Fengchen bewitched the crowd, I don't know how Your Majesty is going to punish you?" ”

"What about Cui Aiqing...... Wu Zetian thought for a moment and said: "Cui Geng's demonic words confuse the public, and he will be removed from the post of Fengchen Order." But he exposed it today and changed his name to ...... Kyung Zhao Yin. ”

"Your Majesty, you must not!"

As soon as Her Majesty the Empress said this, the ministers immediately knelt on the ground, including Cui Geng.

Without it, this Jing Zhaoyin is really terrible.

The so-called Jing Zhaoyin is equivalent to the mayor of the capital in later generations, and he can really be called a high power. The most important thing is that the Jingzhao Mansion was not established in the early Tang Dynasty. The administrative body where the Jingshi is located is the Yongzhou Prefecture, and the highly qualified prince serves as the Yongzhou pastor.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin, Zhongzong Li Xian, and Ruizong Li Danwei all held this position before they ascended the throne.

Of course, in fact, these princes are mainly in name, the general outline, and the real person in charge of Yongzhou's affairs is the governor Shi.

How can Cui Geng be able to compete with the emperors of previous dynasties?

Wu Zetian frowned slightly and said, "Why not?" Chang'an has been abandoned for nearly twenty years, and the city fox society is full of rats, shouldn't I send an agent to clean it up for me? ”

The so-called city fox society rat, of course, does not refer to the real fox and mouse, but in the past twenty years, there will definitely be many half-black and half-hundred forces in Chang'an. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, if the law and order are not quiet, it will greatly damage the face of Her Majesty the Empress.

"It's not impossible to clean up." Cui Gengwei was embarrassed: "But it's not necessary to let Weichen be Jing Zhaoyin, right?" Why don't you change the title of Weichen to Jingzhao Shaoyin? ”

"Hmph, Jingzhao Shaoyin?" Wu Zetian sneered: "Are you sure that you can suppress those Zicheng fox society rats?" If it is about a certain prince and a certain marquis, can you really calm the scene? If people are shameless and spill with you, what can you do? ”

"This ......" thinks that at the beginning, Wu Zetian was afraid of those people and had to move the capital to Luoyang, and now Cui Geng of course has no good way.

Wu Zetian said: "It's you Jing Zhaoyin, I'm still worried that you won't be able to suppress the scene, and this matter will never be mentioned again." Besides, I'll get you another helper...... King of Hanoi! ”

Wu Yizong said: "Wechen is here!" ”

"I named you the pastor of Yongzhou, and took 5,000 royal forest troops to Chang'an. Together with Cui Aiqing, I cleaned up Chang'an. ”

"Yes!"

Cui Geng understood that Wu Zetian's arrangement was to help himself, and he was afraid that he would cover the sky in Chang'an. That's right, Wu Zetian wants to pass on the throne to Li Xian, but there is a premise for this matter, that is...... After she's dead! As for when she is alive, she still has to firmly control her power.

Cui Geng asked again: "Jing Zhaoyin's position, my big week is unprecedented. I don't know what the jurisdiction of Wechen is? ”

Wu Zetian said: "Jingzhaoyin has jurisdiction over twenty-three counties, namely Wannian, Chang'an, Liquan, Huxian, Lantian, Xianyang, Sanyuan, Yunyang, Jingyang, Liyang, Gaoling, Weiyang, Zhaoying, Jincheng, Fuping, Wugong, Yishou, Hao, Meiyuan, Tongguan, Fengtian, Huayuan, and Fengxian. ”

Wu Yizong was anxious when he heard this, and said, "Then isn't this Jing Zhaoyin in charge of Yongzhou?" What does Weichen care? ”

Wu Zetian smiled slightly and said, "That's right, the jurisdiction of Yongzhou Mu and Jing Zhaoyin is completely the same, and one will definitely be abolished in the future." Who will be cut at that time will depend on the performance of the two Aiqing. ”

Cui Gengdao: "Performance? So what are the criteria for not? ”
