In Youjing City, Li Chongjiu led his army back to Youjing for the first court meeting.
All the officials of Zhao State are vigorous and energetic.
Li Chongjiu sat in the hall, Wen Yanbo, Wang Qi, Chen Xiaoyi, Lu Chengqing, Wei Zheng and other ministers of Zhao Guo sat together in His Royal Highness.
After the ministers arrived, Li Chongjiu spoke: "Some of the ministers know, some don't know, yesterday the Turkic Luo Khan has led the Turkic army to cross Yanshan, break through the defense line of the Great Wall, and also break through Huairong City, and its strength is estimated to be at least more than 100,000. Now that Chu Luo intends to lead the army directly to the city of Youjing, you Aiqing don't know what to think? ā
The ministers were buzzing and chattering at the moment.
"Dare to ask how many soldiers and horses there are in the Youjing City right now?" Lu Chengqing asked aloud.
Ji Chuan replied: "The army of returning reinforcements is more than 52,000 people, and now except for 10,000 horses stationed in Dongmen Grass City, the rest have all entered the city. There are less than 10,000 township soldiers in Youjing City, half of whom are new recruits who have not been recruited for more than three months this year. Although the 20,000 cavalry led by Eto traveled day and night, it was estimated that there would be ten days before they could enter the territory of Zhuo County. ā
"Now it seems that there is a huge difference in the strength of the two armies, but our army is not impossible to fight." Lu Chengqing said loudly.
"Our army has newly recruited Liu Heimin, and the soldiers are tired and tired, if we can not fight, it is better not to fight." Xue Wanshu also expressed his opinion.
"Wechen has a word!"
But when he saw an old man step out, his voice trembled.
Most people don't recognize this person, and they say who this old minister is.
"Old man Pei Ju has seen all his colleagues."
When the ministers saw it, they suddenly realized that this person had a mixed reputation in his life. However, it is famous all over the world, and everyone knows it. Count it when Pei Ju entered the court as a eunuch. When he was in a high position, none of the ministers present entered the official career.
The only one is Wen Yanbo, who was an official in the same dynasty as Pei Ju when he was Wen Linlang in the Ministry of Internal History during the Kaihuang period. But it is really reluctant to say that the two are officials in the same dynasty, Wen Linlang, who was a scholar at that time, was only nine products, and Pei Ju was an important minister of the dynasty, and the official worshiped the servant of the ministry. It is a figure who is always in front of the Son of Heaven.
One of the two is in the sky and the other is on the ground, saying that they are colleagues, I'm afraid Pei Ju doesn't bother to admit it.
People who are officials attach great importance to seniority, so there is often a tradition of ranking seniority and relying on the old to sell the old.
For an old minister like Pei Ju, although everyone is not in awe. But they all respected his age, status, and qualifications, and listened to each other's voices, and everyone showed a look of careful listening. Even Wen Yanbo and other important ministers are no exception.
Pei Ju immediately spoke up: "At present, the Turkic army is huge, and the old minister is building a plan for the present. It is better to temporarily move the capital to Wei County to avoid its sharpness, which is the best policy. ā
"Move the capital!"
Many courtiers showed disapproving looks, if it wasn't for Pei Ju who said it, everyone would have refuted it, but some courtiers also thought deeply. But I feel that what Pei Ju said is actually not unreasonable.
Li Chongjiu was noncommittal and said: "Moving the capital is a big deal. It can't be discussed lightly, Pei Aiqing, please be specific. ā
Pei Ju arched his hand and said: "Weichen also knows that he has just entered the palace as a minister, and it is really presumptuous to mention this, but for the sake of the king, for the people of Zhao, and for the people of the world, there is no better strategy than moving the capital." ā
Pei Ju paused and said, "Although the land of Youzhou is rich, but far Kyushu, located in a border county, is not the land of the king, although Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty was prosperous in Youzhou, but he was called the emperor in Xingtai, and the capital was built after the world was stable. As the so-called fame is in the court, the one who fights for profit is in the city, ** is the Central Plains, the Central Plains is Luoyang, if the king wants to unify the great cause, the capital is built in Youjing is to give up the near and seek far, put the beautiful house in the mansion and do not live, and take the ugly thatched hut and live. ā
actually compared Youjing to an ugly thatched hut, I thought that there would be some objections to these words, but as soon as Pei Ju's words came out, Youyan's local scholars and officials were silent, and no one objected.
I remember that when Li Chongjiufang entered Zhuo County, when he was one of the two of Youjing and Huaihuang Town, there was a big quarrel between the Murod Xi Department and the local scholars of Youyan, which had the flavor of being on the line. In the end, Li Chongjiu still focused on enterprising the Central Plains, and was determined to establish the capital Youjing, and finally ended the controversy.
But at the moment, Pei Ju's mention yƬ, the local officials from the Youyan clan, have no objections, which is really strange. Could it be that they collectively have amnesia, or is it really as Pei Ju said, those who compete for fame are in the court, and those who are vying for profit are in the city, and it is the best policy to move the capital to be close to the Central Plains.
Li Chongjiu looked left and right, but saw Wang Jue looking a little thoughtful, and immediately asked: "Wang Aiqing, you often have unexpected opinions, I want to hear your opinion." ā
Wang Qi said: "The Qin people have moved the capital six times, and finally achieved hegemony, Tuoba Xianbei once moved the capital from Pingcheng to Luoyang, Emperor Xiaowen has been famous through the ages, but whether it is the Qin people, or the Xianbei people, they are all worry-free, and try to enter the Central Plains, this is the move of the capital, but now the land of Youzhou, there are Goguryeo in the east, Khitan in the north, Xi people, and Turks in the west. ā
Li Chongjiu listened to Wang Qi's words and nodded silently, what he said was very reasonable. In the Han dynasty, from the Ming Dynasty began to guard Beijing, it was to learn the lesson of the fatigue of national strength after the loss of the sixteen states of Yanyun in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was the Son of Heaven who guarded the country and resisted the invasion of the Fan tribes in Mongolia and Liaodong with the danger of Yanyun in Beijing.
At this time, Ouyang inquired and said: "But from Youjing to the Central Plains, it is really too far, and it takes a long time for our army to turn back on the road from the south to the north. ā
Pei Ju also said: "Although Youjing is an important town in the north, when it comes to population, the taxes are not as good as any of the four counties of Qinghe, Wu'an, Wuyang, and Wei. But where the country is built as a capital, it must first strengthen its stem and then weaken its branches, with Youjing as the stem, unless the population of the four counties is moved to Hebei, otherwise the cart is turned upside down. ā
On the side, Wei Zheng said: "This must not be forbidden, forcibly relocate the people, this is tyranny, in case of provoking a civil uprising, I am afraid that the land of the four counties will be wasted." ā
Pei Ju's words, Li Chongjiu also felt that it was not unreasonable. At that time, Huaiyang, Sichuan and Shu were very rich, and there was a saying that Yang one Shu and two were said at that time, but in the hearts of the Han people, no matter where they moved or not, they still thought that only Luoyang and Guanzhong were far above the Quartet.
This is a deep-rooted point of view, as early as when Dayu, he ordered to stipulate that the Son of Heaven outside the capital of 500 miles of the area for Dianfu, this is the land of the Son of Heaven, 500 miles for a division, from near and far divided into Dianfu, Houfu, Suifu, to serve, to serve, deserted.
The five suits are close to the kingdom of the Son of Heaven, and the more civilized it is.
Luoyang, Guanzhong is the land of the Han people's Longxing, no matter where they migrate, but for the forces built in Luoyang and Guanzhong, there is still a sense of identity and belonging. So it's no wonder why the Youyan clan has no objection to moving the capital to the Central Plains, but to move to Huaihuang Town, which is outside the Saiwai, is the reason why they will never compromise.
Before the Sui and Tang dynasties, although the population of Hebei was not inferior to Henan, when it came to the economic center of politics, it was still far inferior to Guanzhong Henan, and as for Sichuan and Shu, Yangzhou was even worse.
Ji Chuan said: "This is a bad statement, I heard that the ancients said that the construction of the capital Chang'an is the trend of building a city, the construction of the capital Luoyang is the trend of building a big picture in the house, and the construction of the capital of Youjing is the trend of Qiuqiu. ā
"What does that mean?" Lu Chengqing asked.
Ji Chuan said: "Guanzhong Mountain River is four stops, the terrain is high and steep, and it is condescending, so it is called the momentum of Jianling; Luoyang is located in the Central Plains in all directions, and can be expanded in all directions, so it is called the trend of the big picture in the house; And the fur is the collar of the clothes
Meaning, the ring to the east of the sea, according to the upstream trend, to control the **, to Yanyun as a risk. ā
"Youyan soldiers dare to die and are good at fighting, the people are fierce, no matter the people and soldiers, everyone dares to die, the courage to be the first, since Zhao Wuling King Hufu cavalry shooting, Hebei elite soldiers, for the world's heroes, if our army wants to win the world, it is the enterprising spirit of the land of Youyan, how can it be because of the fear of the Turks, avoid moving the capital."
Li Chongjiu said in his heart, if the capital is moved to the south now, although it is conducive to advancing the Central Plains, but the north will be empty, even if Youjing can be defended, but the Huaihuang that has been in operation for many years, the second town of Yuyi, I am afraid it will not be able to be kept, not to mention Liaodong, and the Bohai Rim strategic circle that Li Chongjiu is outlining.
At this time, when it comes to moving the capital, whether it is to enter the Central Plains, or how gorgeous it is, but in the hearts of others, they will only think that they are afraid of the Turks and dare not fight, and abandon Youjing.
At this time, someone from His Royal Highness walked into the hall and said loudly: "The Turks are about to hit under their noses, and at this time, they don't think about protecting their families and defending the country, and discussing the matter of moving the capital, it is really a mistake for the country." ā
