Liu Xiu's capital order was publicly issued, and it was not difficult to get the detailed work of the embroidered ward in the south. They copied the original text and sent it to the north, and Zhang Yu personally served it to the hands of the fifth reunion.

This edict uses an ancient poem, which is "Cao Feng. Xiaquan":

"I sighed and missed Zhou Jing.

The spring is falling down, and the flowers are soaked in the autumn. I sigh and miss the capital.

I sighed and missed the capital."

In just three short sentences, Liu Xiu's longing for Chang'an was clearly expressed. In the imperial edict, he recalled the past experiences and experiences in Chang'an when he was a student in Tai'an. He listed the glory of Weiyang Palace, Beique, and Gaomiao, and finally announced to the world that Liu Xiu, as the heir of the Han Dynasty, still dreamed of leading the three armies to the north, settle the Central Plains, eliminate the fifth place, and return to the old capital! Therefore, the capital of the Han Dynasty was only Chang'an, and the rest of the Jiangdu, Jinling, etc. were just temporary.

"What a good opponent." The fifth reunion was very appreciative. Liu Xiu's choice exceeded his expectations, but he expected that Uncle Liu Wen had such a temperament, with courage and stability, and a steady and strong attitude.

The fifth reunion sent this article to the three ministers and nine ministers of Wei: "Let the ministers see it, but Liu Xiu still did not forget to restore the Central Plains. We will never stop with our dying. Those who thought that pacifying the north would allow the four directions to make an edict to be made to wake up! The tigers in the east of the Yangtze River are by our side, how can we sleep peacefully?"

As a chief official in the border area, Li Zhong, the governor of Qingzhou, also received a message. While sighing, he felt that the person in the south was indeed a hero, better than Liu Ziyu.

At the same time, Li Zhong also realized that this was an excellent opportunity!

After the Fifth Reun arrived in Linzi and moved into the "Qi Palace" of the Han Dynasty, Li Zhong told him about the history of this place.

"Qi, there is Langya in the east, Jimo's Rao, Taishan in the south, Zhuohe in the west, and Bohai in the north. It is two thousand miles away, called Dongqi, and has twelve solids. Therefore, no one can make a king Qi without his parents. So Liu Bang sent his eldest son, King Liu Fei, to rebuild the Tianqi palace here."

Li Zhong made a statement: "Now that time has changed, but Qingzhou is still in a place of advantage, Qi and Guanzhong are still separated by thousands of miles away, and they are very distant. During the reign of Wang Mang, the red eyebrows rose from the East China Sea of ​​Langya and protected Mount Tai in Yanzhou. However, they finally became big, which was caused by the plunder of Qingzhou. I think that setting up a governor alone is not enough to check and balance the entire Qi, and there is only one law that can replace the cemetery."

"Oh, what's the method?"

Li Zhongdao: "Establishing Tokyo in Linzi is better than being a king!"

"Furthermore, Liu Xiu was obsessed with the Northern Expedition to restore the Han Dynasty. Although his troops were not enough to reach Qingzhou, the two Huai Rivers were in a battlefield in the future and would be destroyed. He urgently needed a stable rear. Qingzhou had a population of millions, and had fertile soil. He was covered with clothes and quilts in the world. Linzi was the capital of the emperor. He would definitely be able to travel around the world and facilitate His Majesty's patrol and command."

The fifth rein immediately understood that it seemed that the trend of competing for Tokyo had already come from Qufu, Yanzhou to Linzi.

He had previously been unwilling to make Tokyo in Qufu, and he was unwilling to let Qufu become a real "holy land". Now that Li Zhong has sent Linzi as an alternative, the fifth reunion is also not very happy.

The fifth reunion is of course aware of the glory of Linzi's past "the people are rich and rich, and they are more powerful than Chang'an". In the hearts of Li Zhong, a native of Qingzhou, and Chang'an of Dongguo, this is their pride, but in the heart of the emperor, who hopes that the branches are bigger than the trunk and the situation of noisy over the enemy? Even if it is a accompanying capital!

In the view of the fifth reunification, Linzi is now in decline, with its population size sharply declining by nearly half, and it has shrunk to become the third largest city in the world. This is in line with its status. Linzi is already an economic center, and there is no need to be a political center anymore.

But in the face of Li Zhong's earnest recommendation, Di Wulun only said an ambiguous word to him.

"Don't worry."

"I have decided that Tokyo will definitely be located in Qingzhou!"

...

In Li Zhong's opinion, the fifth reunion was almost a verbal promise. Tokyo will be located in Linzi in the future. Just imagine that for thousands of years, Linzi has been the absolute center of Qi. Who else can I do?

Although Li Zhong had no opinion and was easily influenced by others' opinions, he was still in business as a bureaucrat. He took over Qingzhou for a year and restored his local area well. The fifth reunion did not stay in Linzi for too long. After a few days, he moved north and entered the territory of Qiancheng County.

Qiancheng County was divided into two by the Ji River. This is a magical river. According to Yu Gong, the Ji River was inspired by Dayu to control the Yellow River. It originated from Wangwu Mountain north of the river, but it flowed through the underground submerged stream, ran south of the Yellow River, flowing from Xingze to the east, and then flowing again. It was then injected into the sea in Qiancheng County, which was three ups and three downs.

Wulun stood at the Jishui Ferry Crossing, looking at the yellow Jishui River and sighed: "The ancients said that Ji's clear and turbid rivers are now muddy."

Not only was it turbid, but it also had a much smaller runoff. The fifth reunion said that in ancient times, the Ji River was the main channel for tribute to the Xiadu of Jizhou in the east. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Ji River was also a major transportation route for trade between Qi and the Central Plains and Hebei. You can imagine that every year, thousands of sails competed for the Ji River, thousands of oars were rowing together, and the fleet traveled between various countries. What a spectacular scene.

However, the Ji River has dried up so much that the ship is stranded in the middle of the river, like a clumsy giant beast. This "natural danger" in the north of Qi has become a small ditch. It is no wonder that Geng Bozhao's Youji Corps can easily pass through it.

The fifth reunion asked the officials that it turned out that the Ji River was in the Yongzhe period from the time of Wang Mang. According to the theory of the water workers, the underground submerged channel of the Ji River passed through the Yingze, Dayeze and other lakes near the Yellow River. However, the Yellow River broke the mouth and blocked the passage, causing the Xingze to dry up and the downstream of the Ji River to become shallower and shallower.

It's fine, it's just abolishing a major transportation route, reducing water sources, and causing the once prosperous farmers and merchants on both sides of the Jishui River to decline together. However, according to the memorials of Hejijian counties in recent years, another potential danger has become a sharp sword hanging over the local heads!

As an official in charge of national water conservancy projects, Du Shi, the commander of Shuiheng, visited the Yellow River and happened to arrive in Qiancheng County to visit the fifth reunion and report to him about his discovery.

"Since the third year of Wang Mang's founding of the Kingdom of China, the Yellow River was decisive to Wei County, and the old road was abolished, and the big river left a new road."

However, this so-called new path is not stable. The water of the Yellow River is just like a giant python, twisting and twisting on the Great Plain. Twenty years have passed, and the downstream river channel is still not fixed. Sometimes when it gets angry and moves too much, it will even invade the vicinity of the Ji River.

"This is the source of the turbidity of the Ji River." Du Shi stated the seriousness of the matter to Di Lun: "In Pingyuan County, the nearest between the Dahe New Road and the Ji River is only twenty miles long!"

For the river that lasts thousands of miles, twenty miles is just a distance to turn over while sleeping. Du Shi was paying attention to this matter a few years ago. According to the observation of the Shuiheng Duwei official, the river does have a tendency to deviate to the southeast and seize the Jishui River!

When Fifth Lun heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He, Ji, is the "Four Du" with the same status. If this becomes a river of fellow travelers, then the problem would be great. In later generations, the Yellow River seized Ji into the sea, causing the famous river Jishui to completely disappear from history.

Not only is a river disappearing, but also the fertile land of several counties along the coast. The northern part of Qingzhou, which is raised by the warm Jishui River, is really washed away by the surging Yellow River, and it is afraid that another catastrophe similar to the Xinmang Jue River. Not to mention Qiancheng, Jinan and Linzi are not necessarily safe. They can create millions of refugees for the Fifth Reunion within a few months. Is this a rush to send troops to the remnants of the Red Eyebrows on Mount Tai?

The Fifth Reun was worried and held a river sacrifice ceremony when he crossed the Ji River.

"There are five mountains in the mountains, four rivers in the water, the east is the river, the north is the river, the west is the river, and the south is the Huai River. The four rivers have been built, and all the people have residences. Now the rivers are uneasy and the people are uneasy, so I can't sleep at night."

After the ceremony, he told Du Shi and Qingzhou Governor Li Zhong: "The cracking of the river occurred twenty years ago. Times have changed, and it is indeed difficult to return the Yellow River to its original path."

"But the great rivers seize the money, I must stop it!"

"Even if you cannot see the Yellow River clear and the saint comes out, at least you must let the Ji River clear and save the lives of millions of people living in Qingzhou!"

...

After passing the Ji River, the fifth reunion came to the end of this trip to Qingzhou: Di County.

Di County is very ordinary, its size and population are not as good as Linzi Eleven, and it is not even the capital of Qiancheng County. The reason why it is named such a strange name is that it was said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was once occupied by the tall Changdi people...

After entering the Warring States Period, Di County's only chance to play was that as the last city of Yan State in Qi, he was once besieged by the famous general Tian Dan for three months. Finally, he relied on the persuasion of Confucian Lu Zhonglian to surrender and was able to return without a fight, ending the hundred-year war between Yan and Qi.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, another major event occurred in Di County: Di's man Tian Dan killed Di Ling and proclaimed himself the King of Qi. Tian Dan's younger brother was the nominal ancestor of the fifth reunion, Tian Heng.

Therefore, the arrival of the fifth family is also considered to be "returning home in glory" and is here to pay tribute to the hometown of our ancestors. Di County has been in the Wei State for several years. The local county magistrate and the county magistrate had long cleaned the tombs of the Tian family's ancestors. He also found a group of "relatives" who had escaped from forced relocation in the early Han Dynasty to welcome the fifth family.

The fifth reunion was quite enthusiastic about this group of distant relatives. Each of them gave a piece of cloth and each family received a piece of meat as a hard work fee. However, for their request to join the royal family, change their surname to "Wu" and enjoy tax reduction and exemption, the fifth reunion made the Zongzheng Mansion politely decline.

This country's surname is not casual. Even the recent sects of Changling, such as one, two, three, four, and five, must have children to make meritorious contributions and pass the imperial examination before they can be recognized. In other words, if you want to have the same surname as the emperor, you don't have to rely on your own blood relationship, but also on your own efforts.

Similarly, Di County, as a city between the Yellow River and Ji River, was still prosperous in the past, but now it seems to be in a trap. Not only does the economy decline, but the people are fond of food, but they are always worried that the Yellow River water will pour over one day and turn the city walls that have lived in countless generations into soup pools.

So many of the local elders and relatives who welcomed the Fifth Reunion cried and begged, hoping that the emperor could let them move to Chang'an, but the Fifth Reunion remained silent.

Di County is small and poor, and even a decent place can't be found, and the characters are not good at it. After the fifth reunion worships the tombs of our ancestors, it seems that there is nothing to do.

However, it was in this broken little place that the fifth reunion announced a major event that shocked everyone.

"Our dynasty has the system of five capitals, including the Western Capital Chang'an, the Central Capital Luoyang, and the Beijing Yecheng. Now the east has been established, and the accompanying capital is still in short supply. I see Di County is the place where the ancestors' tombs are located. It has a brilliant population and a strong land. It also controls the shoulders and backs of the Three Qis, which are the throat of Heshuo, and should be established as 'Tokyo'."

In terms of culture, it is not as good as Qufu, in terms of economic population, it is not as good as Linzi, and it always exposes the danger of the Yellow River seizing the economy. Why?

But Wu Lun said solemnly: "Someone just cried and said that the river was raging and Di County was located in Heji, and it would always become a country of Ze, hoping to move away."

“A family can move out easily.”

"It's also possible for one clan to be."

Wu Lun asked everyone present: "But tens of thousands of people in Di County, hundreds of thousands of people in Qiancheng County, and millions of people in Heji can also leave as soon as possible? If the living people leave, what should the tomb of their ancestors be? "

"Twenty years ago, in order to protect the ancestral tomb of Yuancheng, Wang Mang allowed the river to break its mouth but did not save it. The opposite is true! In order to protect the river and help millions of people, he would set up a special accompanying capital here, and would send the three ministers to dispatch the people to build dams to prevent the river from robbing the river."

Wu Lun knew that when it comes to accompanying the capital, his choice must be more powerful than Liu Xiu!

"Two years ago, I witnessed the flooding of rivers, flooding the Wei army and the Red Eyebrow bandits. Both good and bad were destroyed. I was indignant and declared war on the river! His words were still in my ears. Today, the first battle will be launched. Tokyo is here and the headquarters is here. I vow to live and die with Di County and Heji!"
