back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 743
On the surface, Lu Chengqi seemed to agree with Chen Xun's words, but he didn't think so in his heart.Chang'an's feng shui is of course good, otherwise how could half of China's dynasties be in Chang'an?As for why it declined later, it is also related to human factors.The deterioration of Guanzhong's ecological environment did not happen overnight. In the official history, the wars since the end of Tang Dynasty destroyed the world-famous Chang'an City, and also made the formerly prosperous Guanzhong area full of holes.During the Sui and Tang dynasties for more than [-] years, the population of the Guanzhong area increased greatly, the Loess Plateau was over-developed, the forests disappeared sharply, the natural vegetation was greatly reduced, soil erosion was serious, soil fertility decreased, and floods and droughts occurred continuously. All these, to a certain extent, Destroyed the ecological environment of Guanzhong area.

And in this time and space, the vitality can be preserved, a large factor is that Chang'an City has not suffered from war.So it is true to say that Zhan Luan is the chief culprit for destroying a city.Not to mention this time, but later generations, after decades of war in the city, how can they recover their vitality?

If Lu Chengqi knew Fengshui, he would definitely not think that Fengshui is a mysterious thing.To put it bluntly, Fengshui and people are closely related. As long as it is a place with good Fengshui, people will definitely live happily, feel comfortable, and suffer less illness and less pain.In a mediocre place, although there is no great harm, there is no great disadvantage.As for the fierce land, it is a barren land. This land cannot produce crops and cannot support people. How can people live well!

Then look at Chang'an. At this time, Chang'an has fertile land in the Guanzhong Plain, thousands of miles of plastered soil, and sufficient water sources. From any point of view, it is a livable geomantic treasure land.It's just that the people in the past dynasties did not pay attention to protecting the water and soil. The forests and vegetation on the northern slope of the Qinling Mountains were severely damaged.From the perspective of feng shui, it means that the dragon's veins have migrated, and Chang'an has gradually become a livable place, but it is not a treasured place of feng shui.

It can also be seen from Chang'an in later generations that with the change of climate, the eight waters surrounding Chang'an have gradually dried up. Although it is still a livable place, its Fengshui has not been as good as before.Not only in Chang'an, but also in the northwest, most of them are severely desertified.If it hadn't been repaired in time, I'm afraid I won't be able to see anything in the south of the Yangtze River in the future.

The art of Fengshui, you can call him mysterious, it is indeed very mysterious, because many phenomena cannot be explained.But you said that it is very close to life, and you are right, Feng Shui is closely connected with people, and changing Feng Shui is also for people.Many things would not exist if they could not be explained. The art of Feng Shui has been passed down for thousands of years, and it does have its uniqueness.

Lu Chengqi listened to Chen Xun's babbling for a long time, and he half understood what he heard, but he just heard what he praised himself, saying that he "considered the overall situation" and planted forests and trees to benefit future generations.Chen Xun also said that if it was deduced normally, Chang'an City would have already been defeated.It is the "hair" of the dragon's veins that forcibly keeps the dragon's energy in Chang'an.

Naturally, Lu Chengqi didn't believe this kind of rhetoric. Chen Xun said happily, and blurted out: "...Your Majesty, according to my survey, although there are remnants of Chang'an Dragon Qi, it is already very meager. If you want Dashun to extend it by 400 Nian Guozuo should move his capital to Luoyang..."

As soon as Chen Xun said this, he saw Lu Chengqi's face was very strange, and realized that he was talking too much.

"Chen Qing, tell me, why did you move the capital to Luoyang?"

Naturally, Lu Chengqi would not say that according to the history he knew, Luoyang was the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty. Even Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin wanted to move the capital to Luoyang, but the officials objected, so he had to give up in the end.Is the Feng Shui in Luoyang really so good?In Lu Chengqi's view, except that Luoyang has a few more mountains than Bianliang, the other conditions are not even comparable to Bianliang.

Chen Xun said cautiously: "Mountains are solid energy, and water is empty energy. Mountains are high and majestic but bounded by water, and water is deep and wide to gather energy." Zhang Heng in the Eastern Han Dynasty once said: "Building the capital of the kingdom with the power of Kyushu, looking at it from afar If you capture Zhuxia and jump into the sky; if you look up at the mountain and wear the cloud", its "Kyushu momentum" includes the green dragon, the white tiger leap, the red bird dance, and the basalt movement. It is precisely because of " The power of Kyushu gathers in Luoyang with strong royal aura. Luoyang looks south at Santu, north at Yuebi, Guzhanyouhe, and Guangdong Zhanluoyi. Luoyang dragon veins originate from Songshan Mountain in Zhongyue, cross the gorge stone and go north, and become Ganglong. After entering the head A branch connects Beiman Mountain to the back. Although the mountain is not high, it winds and grows, starting from Shouyang Mountain. It is reflected in the distance and ends in the Yellow River in Gongxian County. A branch of the mountain branches to Heishiguan, which is the water mouth. The center expands into a hall, while the four mountains are tightly arched, and the front peaks are beautiful. The Nong and Haoyang streams are the left boundary water, flowing into the Yellow River and winding behind Beimang. The Luo River is melodious, and it reaches Gong County and joins the Yellow River, which is actually where the luck of the Chinese lineage gathers. "

Lu Chengqi shook his head and said: "From this point of view, if you want to be a king and emperor, you must consider geography, military and economics, and transportation. What advantages does Luoyang have to win this important task?"

Chen Xun said to him: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Luoyang is located in the 'middle of the world', and it radiates in all directions. It is adjacent to Mang Mountain in the north, Luoshui in the south, Jianghuai in the east, and Guanlong in the west. Hulao Pass controls Hangu Pass in the west, connects to Youyan in the north, and faces Yique in the south. It is known as "mountains and rivers are arched and worn, and the situation is the best in the world." "The law of Fengshui is to get water first." Surrounded by four rivers, Luoyang is surrounded by nine mountain ranges (Songshan, Xionger, Luti, Xiaoshan, Qinling, Yanghua, Mangshan, Shouyang, Goushan). Surrounded by nine rivers (Yellow River, Yihe, Luoshan River, Jin River, Jian River, Gu River, Gan River, Jiang River, and Ru River), the situation is the best in the world. Its climate is mild, the soil is fertile, and its products are rich. Luoyang is also a place that military strategists of all dynasties must fight for, isn’t it commonplace?”

Lu Chengqi sighed slightly when he heard the words, he knew Chang'an's end a long time ago, even if he ordered to cut down the trees and plant them back, it still couldn't stop the rising population.Nowadays, there are at least 150 million people in Chang'an City, and those who live in Chang'an and can radiate to the surroundings are at least more than 200 million people. With 200 million people, even in later generations, it would be a metropolis.With so many people gathered together, the consumption of resources must be severe.If you compare it with Beiping in later generations, you will know that if it were not for the supply of resources from all over the country, with the environment in Beiping, it is estimated that people would have left long ago.

Luoyang is good, but Lu Chengqi doesn't have the capital to move the capital!It is generally the founding emperor who moves the capital, so that he can have the courage. Only after the establishment of the dynasty, the foundation has not yet been established can there be no such great resistance.Even Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin failed!Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty was able to successfully move the capital to Beijing, which was largely due to the cooking of raw rice. It was the original capital of Jinling. Didn’t he also leave a court team?It is also this team that has Nanming's country for decades.

The desire to move the capital is good, but Lu Chengqi is powerless now.Listening to Chen Xun talking about the general pattern of feng shui, Lu Chengqi also had a certain understanding of the mountains and rivers in the Central Plains.No wonder it is said that Feng Shui masters are the top geography masters, who have truly broken through the iron shoes and traveled all over the great rivers and mountains!

Lu Chengqi looked forward to the magnificent scene of Luoyang's peonies in full bloom, and finally sighed, and said: "Chen Qing has gone too far, I just want to beg for my son."
