Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 627 Arriving at Nanyang Realm for the First Time

Nanyang is a good place. It is a basin surrounded by mountains on three sides and opening to the south. It is named because it is located in the south of Funiu Mountain and north of Han River.In the Xia Dynasty, it was designated as the capital of the country by Dayu. It can be said to be one of the birthplaces of the civilization of the Central Plains. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Shen, Deng, Lu, Xie, Li, Liao, Zeng, Pang, Xu and other vassal states successively appeared in its territory. .

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu established Wanyi, which became a territory of Chu State, called Wan. Because of its rich copper and iron deposits, the metallurgical industry was developed, and it almost took over all the weapon manufacturing projects of Chu State at that time.After Qin unified the six kingdoms, he "moved the unruly people to Nanyang", and made the six kingdoms rich and businessmen and handicraftsmen who were good at management gather in Nanyang. The purpose was to stimulate local anomalies and make it continue to be the "arsenal" of Qin.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, when Wang Mang usurped the government, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu raised troops in Nanyang and achieved his imperial career, so Nanyang was also called "the hometown of emperors".Most of the 28 founding fathers under Liu Xiu came from Nanyang, and there were also Zhang Heng, Zhang Zhongjing and other figures like Bian Que, and even the "eternal famous minister" Zhuge Liang also worked in Nanyang Wollongong.

In the Sui Dynasty, the county was first changed into a state, and then the state was changed into a county. It governed Nanyang County, Fuyang County, Xiyang County, and Huai’an County. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Nanyang was under the jurisdiction of Shannan Road, with Wancheng, Wolong, and Xi Xia, Xinye, Tanghe, Xichuan, Zhenping, Neixiang, Nanzhao, Fangcheng, Sheqi, Tongbai and other [-] counties have the most extensive jurisdiction among the prefectures.

In addition to rich mineral resources, there are ten rivers in Nanyang, including the Danjiang River, Tanghe River, and Baihe River, which are convenient for the exile of goods and people. In addition, the special terrain formed by the nine isolated mountains has made this place a battleground for military strategists of all dynasties.

Before Li Chengqian left, the emperor commented on Nanyang in this way: the prosperity of martial arts, there are high mountains and mountains to control, and there are wide cities and plains to station troops.It is adjacent to Guanshan in the west, and can call soldiers, and reaches Jianghuai in the east, and can transport grain and millet.Jinghu and Bashu in Nantong can take goods, and Sandu in the north can send rescue.

Nanyang has been located in the Central Plains since ancient times. It is located between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. A great place to start a rebellion.

The emperor has been quite abnormal recently. From time to time, he would discuss with Li Chengqian which places are suitable for garrisoning troops and which places are suitable for rebellion, and he is very excited when he talks about it. This is Li Chengqian. That's weird.

He understands that the emperor's eyes are actually greedy and his hands are itchy. After living in Chang'an City for so many years, every day he is not "fighting wits and courage" with the ministers, but fighting with the concubines in the harem. As the emperor of the world, he is really envious of his son, he can go there if he wants to, and he doesn't have to be "closed" in such a square inch of Chang'an City like himself.

It's not that the emperor didn't have the idea of ​​going on tour, but when it was brought up once, Wei Zheng, Yao Silian and others all remonstrated in the hall, asking the emperor to take the example of Emperor Sui Yang, who liked to go on tour the most, not to let the people bear a heavy burden, let The country is in peril.

In short, it is just a sentence, going on tour is a sign of national subjugation, persecuting all people in the world, not caring for the power of the people, just wanting Tang Dynasty to perish, and Li Shimin, who also cherishes feathers, can't say a word, so there is The emperor's evaluation of Li Chengqian when he came to Nanyang.

After entering the boundary of Nanyang, Li Chengqian and Changsun Chong divided into two teams. Changsun Chong went to the Governor's Yamen to receive official documents, and at the same time, he learned about the local situation with the magistrate.However, Li Chengqian brought Wu Deng and others to Wolong County slowly, disguised as merchants. It was not easy to come to Nanyang.

Wu Deng is from Nanyang, so he is familiar with the terrain here. Under his guidance, Li Chengqian and his party quickly found the place where Kong Ming had been farming.Looking at the small mountain village of Wollongong, Li Chengqian couldn't help humming a few words: "I was looking at the mountain scenery from the tower, and I heard the commotion outside the city. The flags were flying, but it turned out to be soldiers sent by Sima. I also sent people Go to inquire, and inquire about it, Sima led the troops to go west."

Just when Li Chengqian was in high spirits, Wu Deng at the side said very ignorantly: "Young master, don't say it, your words are serious, we have never heard of such tunes, if this is in Chang'an, You can live with this skill, someone in your ancestors did it!"

After hearing this, Li Chengqian kicked in annoyance, took a sip by the way, and then cursed: "Your uncle, Wooden, your ancestors have done it before, my ancestors have been ministers for generations, how about you!"

"That's right, Your Highness, I don't kick this bastard too much. Their ancestors are the ones who sing operas. Our Li family has been called King Jianguo for a long time, okay, King Xiliang, you haven't heard of it!", While cursing, Li Hui mended his feet.

After being kicked and scolded, Wooden smiled even more happily. He has been away from his hometown for more than ten years. When he was dreaming, Wooden thought about the air and soil of his hometown. How can he not be ecstatic when he finally returns? .What's more, they and Li Chengqian are called the main ministers, but they are actually brothers. They have fought together for more than ten years, how can they not let him share their joy!

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, I heard that there is a Shuxiang temple here, Lao Wu, you are a local, lead the way, let's go to pay respects to this Shuxiang too." Shaking his robe, Li Chengqian raised his hand to stop the frolicking Wooden and Li Hui.

"Young master, this is a bit inappropriate! What is your identity, what is his identity, this national ceremony and family ceremony are not allowed!"

"That's right, Young Master, you never go to the temple to burn incense, why are you interested in it today?" After Li Hui finished speaking, Wooden added another sentence.

After hearing what the two of them said, Li Chengqian pointed to his face, and then said: "Look at this long face, who would know who I am, so this has nothing to do with etiquette. Besides, Kong Ming, the eternal sage, if it wasn't for Liu Chan If the face and the heart are not in harmony, it is unknown if the Yan Han is rebuilt, as for my Li family, it may not have a chance to rule the world, and it is right to go to worship!"

What Li Chengqian said was from the bottom of his heart. The Li family also has the blood of the Hu people. If Kong Ming had succeeded in the Northern Expedition, he would not have become the Five Huddlers, nor would he have formed the Eight Pillar Kingdom Group in Guanlong, so the Li family would not have entered Master the Central Plains, this is your chance to rule the world.It can be said unceremoniously that in that era, he was the last hope of the Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, he died in Wuzhangyuan at the age of 54, allowing Sima to steal the world. .
