Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Everyone knows that Di Jixun received this award because of the prince Defang, but the act of conferring Di Jixun as Jiedu envoy and then granting military and political power may be just Taizu's preferential treatment for this in-law in the eyes of others, but in the Jin Dynasty In the eyes of the king, there was an extremely dangerous signal, not to mention that Chen Sirang, the father-in-law of the eldest son of the emperor, Dezhao, had never done so. Now Taizu's intentions have gradually become clear, but the emperor wants to move the capital, and the king of Jin has taken precautions against this matter. He has secretly informed many courtiers against it.

The emperor lifted General Di and led him into the inner hall of the new palace. The stone lions in the inner hall are majestic, with eyes that look real, and beams and pillars around the dragon, only reaching the sky. Two, very imposing.

"En!" Taizu strode up the imperial steps, sat firmly on the dragon chair, waved his arms, and put his hands on the armrests of the dragon heads on both sides of the imperial chair.The emperor had a serious face, and his divine eyes were fixed on the people below.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Everyone knelt down and paid respects when they saw this.

"Everyone is in peace," Taizu said

"Thank you, Your Majesty" everyone stood up and lined up in two rows, standing on both sides of the middle aisle of the main hall.

"How do you think Luoyang City is good?" Taizu asked tentatively

"The city of Luoyang is orderly, the market is prosperous, and the law and order are stable. With the presence of the emperor Long En, Luoyang will definitely be more prosperous in the future." An accompanying civil servant said

"Luoyang is a land of outstanding people. Taoism originated here, Confucianism originated here, Confucianism originated here, Confucianism flourished here, Buddhism was first introduced here, and metaphysics was formed here. It can be called a place where sages gather and humanities gather." Another official posted a comment.

Taizu nodded, very happy in his heart: "It seems that all the ministers think that Luoyang is a treasure land, and the internal needs of Bianjing rely on water routes to transport outside. I don't have the barrier in the north. Once the enemy troops go south, they will go straight to Chan If the capital is besieged, the consequences will be unimaginable, so I ordered the general to build a palace in Luoyang to officially..." Taizu was about to propose moving the capital when King Jin suddenly stepped forward

"Your Majesty, Luoyang has a rich history and simple folk customs. It is indeed a treasure land, but the previous dynasties have moved their capital here, but it seems..." King Jin hesitated to speak, and looked up at Emperor Taizu. Taizu was a little unhappy when he heard this. With a flash of expression, the King of Jin lowered his head and continued, "But as an accompanying capital, Luoyang should rank first. The city is surrounded by mountains and six rivers, with eight passes and cities, and ten counties. The situation is the best in the world. , can become a strong support for the capital, and your Majesty can also come here to rest when he is on tour. Since His Majesty established Bianjing as the capital, the capital has been prosperous inside and outside the capital, and the scale of land for the court has been completed. In addition, millions of dendrobium rice shipped from the Jianghuai River every year can supply hundreds of thousands of troops in the capital, and the military deployment is even more solid. Now that Xijing is guarded by Mr. Di, the people will be happy and feel safe and secure. Your Majesty's wisdom is here." King Jin turned his head to look at Di Jixun: "Master Di, do you think what this king said is right?"

Di Jixun was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect the King of Jin to ask him, so he hurried forward and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and the King of Jin has both ability and political integrity. I have followed Your Majesty to fight against the prince for many years. I only know how to obey military orders. Others... I am a bit dull. "

"The king of Jin is already vigilant against me, it seems that he will be more careful in the future," Di Jixun thought to himself, his forehead was already dripping with sweat.

"The ministers and others also feel that what the King of Jin said is very true." Most of the ministers echoed, and the living man Li Fu also submitted a memorial, stating the eight difficulties of moving the capital, and everything seemed to be arranged.

Taizu was very unhappy to hear this, and still said, "It is an expedient measure for me to move the capital to Luoyang. The long-term plan should be to establish the capital of Chang'an. I will move the capital to the west to take advantage of the dangers of mountains and rivers and reduce redundant troops. According to the stories of Zhou and Han, To rule the country, if Bianjing is the foundation, it may suffer disaster."

"Your Majesty" King Jin cupped his hands and said loudly, "I believe that those who can level the world will not be in danger if they are in virtue."

Taizu looked at his younger brother King Jin, took a deep breath and said, "Let's discuss this matter later."
