PS: Thanks to Qianyuan Henry Zhen, I will never say anything without words, Listen to the Song of the Sea and other brothers for their rewards.
Since the rise of Jinyang, the Li family, who came from the Guanlong military aristocratic group, has gained great power in the world and established the Tang Empire. As the representative of the Guanlong power, the Li family itself needs to weaken the constraints of this force on itself. This is
A realistic choice that those in power must face. Therefore, in the eighty years of the early Tang Dynasty, the royal family handled government affairs in the Eastern Capital for forty-five years, surpassing Xijing as the capital of the country.
Thanks to this, even if Luoyang's construction was slightly inferior to Chang'an, it was not far behind. Especially when Emperor Wu was in power, Luoyang's prosperity even surpassed Chang'an's and became the center of the world.
After the Su Dynasty, due to the separatist rule of the Anshi military group, Luoyang, which was closer to Hebei, gradually moved away from its position as the capital. Although it remained in name, its actual function was still that of a state. Therefore, Luoyang gradually became depressed.
.However, it is precisely because of this that the tragedy of repeated destruction of Chang'an in the past thirty years has not been staged in Luoyang, which also makes Luoyang's preservation situation much better. Although it was destroyed once by the Uighurs during the Anshi Rebellion, the damage
The degree is much lower than that of Chang'an.
In recent years, the King of Liang has been thinking about changing the dynasty and restoring the dynasty. His plan is to establish Luoyang as the capital. Therefore, since the first year of Tianfu, all Henan's financial, material and human resources have been concentrated on Luoyang, almost repairing the declining Luoyang.
A new one. It's a pity that this move ended up being a wedding dress, and the peaches planted by King Liang were not able to be picked by himself.
On the first day of the sixth month of the third year of Tianyou's reign, Luoyang was heavily guarded. Meng Xuxing was under the command of the Youzhou Army, and Wang Yibu was inspected. Sima Xue Jisheng took their respective positions. The Youzhou Army entered the city the day before yesterday. After entering the city, they dispersed the so-called forbidden army recruited by the emperor. Very soon
He soon took over the entire Luoyang. The three of them had their own division of labor. Meng Xuxing was responsible for the defense of the outer city, Wang Yibo was responsible for the defense of the imperial city, and Xue Jisheng was responsible for the control of the palace city.
Meng Xuxing stood on the tower of Dingding Gate and looked at the important points one by one. Seeing that the sergeants were well-arranged, he nodded. The flag-bearer lowered a dusty khaki five-clawed golden dragon Tang flag from the tower and raised it.
The same flag was raised, but it was newer and was sewn with gold thread around it, especially the word "Tang" in the middle, which reflected a dazzling golden glow in the dazzling sunlight.
After the deafening drums of Jiutong, a team of chariots and horses drove out of Dingding Gate, with flags fluttering and colorful flowers flying. Hundreds of warriors in costumes took the lead, each holding an ax, ax, halberd and hammer, followed by dozens of civil and military officials and six chariots.
He came slowly. There was a young man sitting under the umbrella, looking around curiously, but it was none other than Prince Li Zhen.
The person who drives the chariot for Prince Li Zhen is Zhang Maoan, the newly promoted palace envoy. Following the chariot on the left side of the prince are Han Quanjie, the privy envoy on the left, Zhang Juhan, the privy envoy on the right, and Zhang Chengye, the Xuanhui envoy. On the right side of the prince's chariot,
It was Li Chengzhong, King of Yan, who was accompanying him on horseback.
There were more than fifty officials waiting outside Dingding Gate. The leader was Zhang Jun, who had just resumed his post. The emperor appointed him as Shangshu Zuopushe. He was the chief minister and the first of all officials. Behind Zhang Jun was the right servant of Shangshu.
She Pei Shu, his minister Dugu Sun, and his minister Liu Can. Now that the court has declined, these officials outside Dingding Gate are already all the officials above the seventh rank in Luoyang City. If the emperor had not temporarily deposed Zhang Wenwei, who had long been
, Cui Yuan, Yang She and more than ten people were invited, and the welcoming ceremony would look even more shabby.
Zhang Jun led all the officials forward and knelt down to pay homage to the prince Chengyu. The prince, who was just in his early tenth year, looked nervously at Han Quanjie beside him. Han Quanjie whispered: "Your Highness, just follow the previous agenda. , don't be nervous." The prince looked at Li Chengzhong who was riding a horse on the right. Li Chengzhong smiled at him, so the prince mustered up his courage and said: "Your Majesty, please excuse me!"
Zhang Jun and others stood up and bowed to Li Chengzhong again. Li Chengzhong dismounted and helped the court officials to their feet one by one.
The chariot started again and passed through Dingding Gate. It walked north along Dingding Street, passed the twelve squares on the left and right, and went straight to Tianjin Bridge.
Luoyang straddles the Luoshui River, which flows from east to west. It divides the city of Luoyang into north and south districts. After crossing the Tianjin Bridge, we set foot on the north city. In front of us was a large school ground, and a towering and fortified imperial city appeared in front of us.
Wang Yibo led thousands of soldiers to stand on both sides of the imperial road, gesturing to Li Chengzhong from afar. Li Chengzhong then asked Zhang Maoan to drive straight into Duanmen. Within Duanmen is the imperial city, and the Tianjie Royal Road is 500 long. Bu, the official offices are arranged on both sides of the imperial road of Tianjie. The three provinces of Zhongshu, Menxia and Shangshu are on the left, of which the six departments of Shangshu occupy most of the place; the three courtyards of Taiyuan, Dianyuan and Chayuan are Yushitai, Guozijian and Shaofujian. General Supervisor, Ordnance Supervisor, Du Shui Supervisor Five Supervisors, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, Weiwei Temple, Zongzheng Temple, Taipu Temple, Dali Temple, Honglu Temple, Sinong Temple, Taifu Temple Nine Temples, Institutions such as these are arranged on the right side of the Royal Road.
Compared with Chang'an, the government offices in Luoyang are obviously smaller, but now there are not many officials in the court. Many of these government offices now have empty names and appearances, and there are not even any officials who perform their duties.
The royal road continued forward and soon arrived at the palace city. The three palace gates, Changle Gate, Yingtian Gate and Mingde Gate, were arranged side by side from west to east, and now they are all wide open.
The prince's chariot stopped here. Li Chengzhong dismounted, walked to the chariot, and extended his hand to the prince Li Zhen. When the prince Li Zhen was in Youzhou, Li Chengzhong often came to visit and hired many teachers for Li Zhen, including Li Chengzhong himself also taught a course called "Ideology and Morality".
Li Chengzhong's teaching method is very unique. He usually teaches Li Zhen in the form of storytelling. Most of the stories are taken from "Journey to the West", and there are also many "Kitten Fishing", "Three Little Pigs", "Three Monks" ", "The Crow Drinks Water" and other sketches are very suitable for Li Zhen. Many times, Li Chengzhong also takes Li Zhen out for hunting outings, and has a self-service barbecue from time to time. This teaching method is obviously better than that of Feng Dao and others. Teaching made Li Zhen even more happy, so Li Zhen looked forward to seeing Li Chengzhong every time. When Li Chengzhong went out to fight, Li Zhen often wrote letters to Li Chengzhong and completed the homework assigned by Li Chengzhong.
Seeing Li Chengzhong stretching out his hand, Li Zhen naturally pulled him up, and was led off the chariot by Li Chengzhong. An adult and a child entered Yingtianmen holding hands. Han Quanjie and other lieutenants delayed more than ten steps and followed. Enter. The officials behind him also entered from Changle Gate and Mingde Gate respectively according to their civil and military duties.
In front of us is a wide open square. Of course, it is obviously much narrower and more cramped than the Tiananmen Square that Li Chengzhong saw in later generations, but even so, it is enough to reflect the royal majesty.
The Qianyuan Hall, which stands on the twenty-seventh-step high platform, is majestic and intimidating. Li Chengzhong pulled Li Zhen, who had just passed his waist, pointed at the Qianyuan Hall and said: "Tomorrow you will sit in the main hall and accept the officials. Chaohe, do you remember everything I asked you to learn a few days ago? Don’t remember it wrong. If you remember it wrong, I won’t tell you stories in the future.”
Li Zhen just held Li Chengzhong's hand, looked timidly at the tall Qianyuan Palace, and whispered hesitantly: "I remember... Yafu, can I not be the emperor?"
"Oh? Why don't you want to be the emperor?" Li Chengzhong was a little curious. This was the first time Li Zhen mentioned this matter to him.
"I don't understand what Master Feng said about governing the country, and I don't understand how to be an emperor...and being an emperor has a lot of rules. The rules Master Feng taught made me uncomfortable and uncomfortable..." As he said,
, Li Zhen lowered his head and said softly as if he had made a mistake: "Don't blame me, Yafu, okay? I heard from Master Pei that it is not a blessing for the country to be an emperor at a young age. For example, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Cao Huan of the Wei Dynasty, and Emperor Song of the Song Dynasty
Emperor Liu Zhun and Emperor Qi Xiao Baorong each ascended the throne at a very young age, but both died and the country was destroyed..."
When he came to this world, Li Cheng, who had been influenced by historical knowledge, was moved. The young emperors in history mentioned by Li Zhen also had a common characteristic, they were all held hostage by powerful ministers. If you must take
If we compare it with today, what Li Chengzhong did is equivalent to what Dong Zhuo did to Liu Xie, what Sima Zhao did to Cao Huan, what Xiao Daocheng did to Liu Zhun, and what Xiao Yan did to Xiao Baorong.
Looking at the child Li Zhen with a begging look on his face, Li Cheng felt weak in his heart. Li Chengzhong came from a later generation, and he couldn't bear to push such a young child to the forefront of the storm. He has not yet
Think about how to deal with this ignorant child who used to cuddle up next to him and listen to his stories. No matter whether he is a woman or a man who is not a hero, he cannot be ruthless enough to destroy this little life. Therefore, he
I still can't make up my mind on how to deal with Li Zhen's problem in the future.
"Tell Yafu, if you don't want to be the emperor, what do you want to do?"
"I want to travel far away! Yafu's Journey to the West is very good, and I also want to travel to the West. It's so interesting to see those strange people and strange things, and see those customs and customs..." Speaking of "Journey to the West",
Li Zhen's eyes immediately shone: "Didn't Yafu say that there are many countries overseas? The world is so vast that it is far more vast than a corner of the Central Plains. I don't want to be a frog in the well, I must look at where the horizon is!"
"Well..." Li Chengzhong looked at Li Zhen who was getting more and more excited as he talked, rubbed his head, and said with a smile: "Okay, do you think this will work? When you grow up, I will give you a boat
Team, let you travel around the world?"
"Great! Is this true Yafu? Can you please pull the hook?"
"Of course it's true, Lagou... But you have to agree to one condition. Be the emperor for one year first."
"Okay, but just for one year, okay? I'm going to be eleven soon. I need to spend more time preparing. When I'm fifteen, I can go to sea! I don't know if I have four years to prepare.
Is it enough..."
Li Zhen's cheerful laughter echoed in the palace, attracting many curious eyes, but Li Zhen was completely unaware of it, still immersed in excitement and unable to control himself.
Even Li Chengzhong's mood suddenly became much more relaxed amidst this innocent laughter.
