Chapter 423 Canonized concubine?
"The so-called best strategy is an aggressive strategy. My lord, please see that Yang Lian has a large army here. If my lord can take down Yang Lian, I will bring Yang Lian's [-] soldiers under my command, and then replace Ge Shuhan and occupy the entire Hexi land." , and then join the Tubo King Stanley Alliance to fight against Zhang Xuan, with [-] armored troops, and enter the Central Plains, hegemony can be achieved."

Taoist Taiping smiled slightly.

Li Gong sighed, "Although what the military adviser said is reasonable, Yang Lian is Zhang Xuan's confidant and a pawn that Zhang Xuan placed in Longshuo Qinghai. How can he submit to me. With the more than [-] people under my command , how could it be the opponent of Yang Lian's army. I have been worried that Yang Lian will raise his troops northward and harass Wuwei for the past few days."

"Master, Yang Lian seems to be Zhang Xuan's confidant, but he is actually a member of the Yang family. The members of the Yang family are capricious and lack loyalty, and Zhang Xuan doesn't trust them too much. The lord is Datang Zhengshuo, a noble man in Tianhuang. If the lord To be able to be a high-ranking official, Yang Lian might not be able to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, and submit to the lord."

Taoist Taiping talked eloquently, and said with a proud expression, "My lord, Pindao is willing to go to Yang Lian's army once as an envoy of the lord, and try his best to persuade Yang Lian to submit his troops."

Li Gong was overjoyed, "If the military commander can persuade Yang Lian, my hegemony, the recovery of Li Tang Sheji's country is just around the corner!"

Indeed.If Yang Lian surrendered Li Gong, Yang Qi of Anxi would definitely be persuaded.Then Li Gong had a heavy army, occupied the entire Hexi and Western Regions, and then joined forces with Tubo to fight against Zhang Xuan. Even if he couldn't win the Central Plains, he could split the Northwest and form his own country.

The crux of the problem is whether Taoist Taiping can persuade Yang Lian.Yang Lian's heart to return to the Tang Dynasty is just to what extent.

Daoist Taiping smiled lightly, "It's not too late, Pindao is about to leave. However, before leaving, Pindao suggested to the lord that he must send troops to ambush outside Liangzhou and take down Ge Shuhan who returned to Hexi from Chang'an. Kill him to eliminate future troubles. If Ge Shuhan is not dead, it will be difficult for Hexi to fall into the hands of the lord."

Li Gong gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "I have made up my mind, the military commander can go at ease."

In fact, Li Gong had already sent people to ambush on the road from Chang'an to Hexi, preparing to rob and kill Ge Shuhan.Ge Shuhan was the Hexi feudal town of the Li Tang dynasty, and the Hexi military town conferred by the new Zhang Xuan dynasty. Although he is no longer in charge of administration and only in charge of soldiers and horses, his influence in the ten states of Hexi is unparalleled. If Ge Shuhan is not dead Li Gong, let alone occupying the Central Plains and recovering Li Tang, would not stand up even in Hexi.

Without Zhang Xuan sending troops to conquer, Ge Shuhan alone can wipe him out.

But Ge Shuhan is such a strategic and profound military veteran. On the way back to Hexi, Ge Shuhan got the news that Li Gong had raised troops in Wuwei and Liangzhou to restore the Tang Dynasty and establish himself as emperor.Ge Shuhan's first reaction was that Li Gong would attack him, and he would definitely rob and kill him on the way. Therefore, Ge Shuhan made a decisive decision and immediately diverted to Qinghai, preparing to detour from Yang Lian's defense area, cross Qilian Mountain, and return to his The base camp is Ganzhou.

As long as he can return to Ganzhou and regain control of the army, what is a mere Li Gong?In Ge Shuhan's heart, Li Gong is just a clown.

There are two branches of flowers, one for each.

Xijing Chang'an.When the first twilight of dawn rose in the eastern sky, Zhang Xuan led the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, many family members of the court's dignitaries, and many court ladies and eunuchs, and left Chang'an in a mighty manner with a large amount of belongings. Luoyang left.

The relocation of the capital was carried out in batches.Yang Guozhong had already led a group of people to Luoyang before, and earlier, Gongsun Liang had also led a group of people to Chang'an.

The team Zhang Xuan belongs to is the last batch.The long team of chariots, horses and soldiers stretched for tens of miles without end.Zhang Xuan's vanguard "troops" had already entered the Guanzhong Plain, while the supply and wealth team holding the formation had just left the gate of Chang'an.Not only the courtiers and dignitaries followed the move of the capital, but also many merchants and ordinary people.

Cui, Wang, Zheng, and Lu's four noble families also moved with Zhang Xuan. This is an imperial edict.

The brigade marched very slowly, and it took ten days to arrive at Tongguan.The generals guarding Tongguan came out to greet them. Zhang Xuan led his courtiers to enter Tongguan. After resting in Tongguan for a day, he continued his journey.

In the afternoon of December [-], the first year of Yongning, Zhang Xuan finally led his team to Luoyang, the capital of China.

Yang Guozhong and others who arrived earlier, as well as Yan Zhenqing and Zhang Tong who guarded Heluo Central Plains, led the officials and people in Beijing to sweep the streets and lay carpets in the pure land, opened the city gates, played rituals and music, and knelt on both sides of the city gates to welcome the emperor. into town.

Unlike Chang'an, Luoyang, the ancient capital now renamed Zhongjing, is the real imperial capital of the Chinese dynasty, at the foot of the new emperor's son of heaven.

The people of Zhongjing lined the road to welcome, and the welcome team continued to a place more than a hundred miles away from Zhongjing City.Along the way, the sound of Shan Huan live shook the heavens and the earth.

Zhang Xuan did not ride in the emperor's Luanjia, but a horse.Impressed by the enthusiasm of the people along the way, he stopped and walked, and walked for nearly two hours for more than ten miles, until dusk and sunset before reaching the gate of the city.

Zhang Xuan sits on a tall horse, with silk crowns covering the sky and covering the sky behind him.The Eighteen Iron Guards put on the special costumes of the Palace Guards, and held a Mo Dao, closely guarding behind.

Yang Guozhong was in front, Yan Zhenqing, Zhang Tong and others were behind, and a group of officials who arrived in advance or guarded Zhongjing bowed to the ground and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty is welcome to return to the capital, please come to Beijing! Long live my emperor!" "

Zhang Xuan got off his horse, waved his hands and said in a loud voice, "All of you, please stay calm."

Zhang Xuan nodded to Yang Guozhong, then went to Yan Zhenqing and Zhang.

"Qing Chen, Wen Biao, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you all right?" Zhang Xuan smiled slightly.

Qing Chen is Yan Zhenqing's character, while Wen Biao is Zhang Tong's character.The two bowed respectfully again, "I am waiting for you to be well, and I am grateful for your majesty's concern. I am extremely terrified!"

Zhang Tong was named Marquis, and he was listed as one of the Eight Founding Marquises conferred by Zhang Xuan. His official position was General Yulin. Very satisfied, thank you Dade.

What's more, Zhang Tong, together with the troops of Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun, and Li Siye, stationed in the capital, guarding the important areas of Heluo and Jingji, shows Zhang Xuan's trust in him.

Although Yan Zhenqing did not have the title of marquis, nor did he go to court like Chen Xilie, Yang Guozhong, Guo Ziyi and others, but he was the imperial court internal affairs order, the governor of Zhongjing Prefecture, and the governor of Henan Province. Excessive.

Yan Zhenqing never dreamed that he would have today.

To him, Zhang Xuan was tantamount to having the grace of rebuilding, how could he not be grateful, and vowed to die to repay the grace of knowledge and encounter.

As the internal affairs order of the imperial court and the highest local chief executive of the capital, Yan Zhenqing shouldered important responsibilities.The overall coordination of the relocation of the capital, including the renovation of the emperor Zhang Xuan's palace, the stability of the inner palace, logistical chores, the security and security of Zhongjing, and even the relocation of the residences of the current dignitaries who moved to Zhongjing, all fell on his shoulders.

In the past two months, Yan Zhenqing has almost been restless, leading a group of subordinates to run at a high rhythm non-stop.

"Your Majesty, I have sent people to renovate the imperial city and the palace city... I will follow His Majesty into the city and enter the palace, please Your Majesty to inspect." Yan Zhenqing walked over cautiously and reported in front of Zhang Xuan.

This is no small matter.The palace where the emperor lived, the palace where the concubine lived, the palace where the emperor governed, whether to maintain the current name or need to change the name, all require Zhang Xuan, the emperor, to make up his mind, and his ministers cannot replace it.

However, Zhang Xuan is not particular about this.Luoyang city originally had a well-equipped palace city and imperial city, including the establishment of hundreds of government offices. He had already decided to keep everything simple, based on the principle of not spending money and food.

Zhang Xuan already had a good idea of ​​the layout of Luoyang Palace City, and he also had a general arrangement in his mind.

As he took the lead to enter the Xihua Gate, he smiled at Yan Zhenqing and others who were following behind him, "Qingchen, change the name of the Qingshou Palace to the Huaxia Palace, and the Qingshou Palace to the Yongning Palace. I live in the Huaxia Palace. The government is in the Yongning Hall, and matters such as meeting Siyi and guests' banquets are in the Chongzheng Hall, Yanhe Hall, and Jingfu Hall. The other palaces and halls are coordinated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Six Ministries, and are deployed in a unified manner. Remember not to be idle and not to waste , the court seldom uses it, and it is mostly used for the court to discuss politics."

"My family members all live in the back garden."

Zhang Xuan waved his hand and made a final decision.

The back garden is at the northernmost end of the entire palace city, with the Linhua Gate to the east, and the Zhonghua Gate to the south, which connects with the Front Palace and directly leads to the former Qingshou Palace where Zhang Xuan lived and now the Huaxia Palace.

In fact, Cui Ying and other daughters, including Zhang Xuan's mother Liu Shi, have already lived in the back garden.

Without any hesitation, Yan Zhenqing immediately bowed to accept the order and left.

……

……

Zhang Xuan entered the palace that really belonged to him, and lived in the largest palace in the newly renamed Huaxia Palace City.This palace is actually a palace complex, consisting of many buildings such as pavilions, halls, gardens, study rooms, halls, and gardens.

Live here and deal with state affairs, so as to avoid Zhang Xuan running around.

In the evening, I really settled down.Zhang Xuan just rested for a while, and was about to go to the Houyuan to visit his mother and get together with his wives, but was stopped by Chen Xilie, Yang Guozhong, Guo Ziyi and others.

Among the six books, apart from Yang Qi who was still far away in the Western Regions, Zhang Xun had rushed from Fanyang to Luoyang.

"Your Majesty!" Chen Xilie led several ministers to block the entrance of Yongning Hall.

Zhang Xuan frowned and said, "Chen Zaifu, you all have been working hard on pommel horses for several days, go back to the mansion to rest, what state affairs are there tomorrow—no, we can talk about it later!"

Chen Xilie shook his head and said with great emotion, "Your Majesty, the old ministers have discussed with all the cabinet ministers. Your Majesty has already ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, settled down in Zhongjing, and settled down the world. Then there is still a vacancy for the master of the palace. Please also immediately enshrine the concubine to stabilize the order of the harem. At the same time, The imperial edict is drafted to fill the harem——I have newly established court etiquette, please don't underestimate it, Your Majesty."

Canonized concubine?Zhang Xuan was taken aback, and then smiled wryly, "Is this not in a hurry? Huh?"

"Your Majesty, the etiquette cannot be revoked! Your Majesty, please canonize the concubine immediately to ensure order in the harem!" Zhang Xun stepped forward and bowed.
