Xue Wanshu borrowed the meaning of Luoyang Shizi to let Li Chongjiu move the capital. The scholars took the past as a mirror and completely alerted them to Xiang Yu's affairs. Li Chongjiu remembered that of course Xiang Yu, after refusing to move the capital to Xianyang, the other party scolded him that the Chu people were indeed crowned by monkeys.

Li Chongjiu said in his heart that if he refused to build a scholar, wouldn't he also become Xiang Yu's general monkey and crown? The routine in this is so deep, I accidentally planted it in.

Li Chongjiu asked Xue Wanshu: "Is it impossible not to move?" ”

Xue Wanshu generously stated at the moment: "The emperors who advocated moving the capital in history were all pioneering and enterprising lords and became the first emperor. For example, in order to advance the Central Plains, the Qin Dynasty moved the capital six times, and Emperor Wei Xiaowen moved the capital from Pingcheng to Luoyang, promoting the sinicization of Xianbei, which is a good precedent. ”

Li Chongjiu glanced at Xue Wanshu and said: "Don't say all the good things, there are also bad examples, such as after Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty ascended the throne, he moved Kyoto from Xijing to the Eastern Capital, and the control of the Guanlong Group in Guanzhong that he lost was a catastrophe, and then Emperor Wu stayed in Jiangdu for a long time, and almost used Jiangdu as Kyoto, and finally died in Jiangdu." ”

Xue Wanshu didn't expect Li Chongjiu to cite this example, and was speechless for a moment.

Li Chongjiu said seriously at the moment: "It can be seen that everything has disadvantages and advantages. Moving the capital may not necessarily be good, but those who do not move the capital may not necessarily lose. ”

In all fairness, the situation of Da Zhao is a bit special, Li Chongjiu started in Youyan, where the strategic place of Zhao State, the income of the two towns of Yuyi occupies almost one-third of the treasury of Da Zhao every year, and most of his soldiers are the children of Youyan Zhao, and their families are all in Youjing.

Although the relocation of the capital was as complete as Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Directly the courtiers, soldiers. and their families have moved to Luoyang, but what a huge project it is. How much manpower and material resources need to be consumed.

And the most important thing is that the grassland cavalry is also plugged, and Li Chongjiu's 100,000 grassland army cannot move to the vicinity of Luoyang with Li Chongjiu. Not to mention whether the Murde Xi Department is willing to live near Luoyang with Li Chongjiu, it is Ken, there is not such a large pasture near Luoyang, and the Murde Xi cavalry will graze. Therefore, the only consequence of the cavalry entering the customs with Li Chongjiu was that the Mengyuan and Manchu cavalry who entered the customs in history gradually degenerated. It's completely useless at the end.

But if you don't follow Li Chongjiu into Beijing, can such a powerful cavalry force be placed on the grassland? Once Li Chongjiu moved the capital to Luoyang, it would be at least a few thousand miles away from the outside of the Saiwai, and it would take two months for the news to go back and forth, so it would be beyond the reach of the whip to control the grassland fanqi.

Just like the example of Li Chongjiu and Xue Wan, the Great Sui started by relying on the elite of the Guanlong group, and Yang Guang moved Kyoto to Luoyang, where water transportation was convenient, in order to implement his canal strategy. The power of the guide to control Xijing was greatly reduced. In the end, Li Yuan, who was also born in the Guanlong Group, seized the opportunity and captured Xijing in one fell swoop. Later generations of Emperor Li Tang knew that Luoyang was more convenient than Guanzhong. But except for Wu Zetian, no one has any plans to move the capital, and the reason is also because of the lessons learned from the Sui Dynasty.

To be honest, Li Chongjiu is in his current situation. It's a bit like the Warring States of Wa hundreds of years later. The Wa Kingdom was divided into Kanto and Kansai, and the Kanto side was the most powerful samurai group. Kansai, on the other hand, is where the Emperor and the Emperor are located. In general, the civil strife of the Wa State was replaced. It originated in the Kanto region, and as long as the Kanto samurai group was mastered, it was possible to advance to the Kansai region, which was called Joraku in the Wa Kingdom.

Kamiraku, the leader of the Kwantung samurai group, succeeded, and he could ask the imperial court to make him a shogun, and the shogun would be equivalent to a samurai leader and become a man of the world, which was equivalent to raising troops in Kanto and picking fruits in Kyoto in Kansai.

Speaking of which, the situation in the Central Plains is similar. Generally, when the world collapses, all parts of the country are divided, such as Hebei, Guanzhong, Sichuan, Shu, Jianghuai and other princes after unifying the region, that is, they compete for Luoyang, and then call the emperor in Luoyang, and give orders to the princes of the Quartet. Just like Li Chongjiu now, after capturing Luoyang, he ascended the throne in Luoyang, posthumously honored his father-in-law Emperor Yang of Sui, and declared Emperor Yang E as the empress, and also told the princes of the Quartet that he inherited the Sui Empire and had a name and righteousness in hand. Enthroned in Luoyang, first, Luoyang is the Kyoto of the Great Sui, and second, Luoyang is located in the middle of the world.

But ascending the throne in Luoyang does not mean that the capital will be moved to Luoyang. Just like the warring states of the Wa Kingdom, the samurai regime has always been in conflict with the forces in Kyoto.

For example, in the Muromachi shogunate in Japanese history, the first shogunate shogun, Ashikaga Takashi, in order to solve this problem, let his four sons, Kanto serve as the Kamakura Gongfang, to command the Kwantung samurai group. And he and his son were in Kyoto, serving as his shogun.

The Ashikaga clan originally thought that Kyoto and Kamakura could be linked with brotherhood, but in fact it was a big mistake, and the Kamakura princes of successive generations wanted to seize the power of the Kyoto brothers, and the two sides were constantly in conflict.

Therefore, Li Chongjiu learned from this, if he really wanted to move the capital to Luoyang, and if he wanted to control the grassland cavalry outside the city, he must appoint someone in Youjing to control the grassland cavalry for himself. This point cannot be imagined to be implemented by the county system, or the current metropolitan protection system. In this feudal era, controlling a huge territory of thousands of miles is already the limit of the empire.

Therefore, who will be entrusted with the control of Yujing? The history of the Wa Shogunate proves that even his own son can't be relied on, so who can be relied on. Now there are 100,000 troops riding outside the Sai, not counting the 30,000 troops of the Song Desert Protectorate, this is a huge force, and it can't be controlled under your nose, so Li Chongjiu will not have a day of peace in the future.

Li Chongjiu thought about it carefully, but Xue Wanshu did not give up, and continued: "Your Majesty, Luoyang was dilapidated and unbearable last year, but now there are nearly 30,000 households in Luoyang, and the people are very supportive of Your Majesty. ”

Li Chongjiu said: "Many ministers have also suggested to me about this matter, or do you think that Luoyang will be used as a companion?" ”

"Accompany the capital?" Xue Wanshu was suddenly surprised.

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Yes, I have this consideration. ”

Xue Wanshu said at the moment: "Your Majesty, don't you think that Goguryeo has a system of five capitals, and we should also follow the example of this small country in Dongyi?" ”

Li Chongjiu waved his hand and said: "Where is this, it's just the two-capital system, when King Wu destroyed the Shang and set up the city in order to control the east." In the previous dynasty, it was not also the implementation of the system of two capitals in the east and west capital, so I was ready to set up a capital in Luoyang. ”

Li Chongjiu wanted to establish a centralized empire, he must be strong and weak, and chose Youjing, which has grassland cavalry and Youyan's elite, as the capital, although it is not as good as Luoyang in terms of geography, but it is to firmly control this most powerful force in his own hands.
