Chapter 192 Yang Conspiracy

If Zhao Huan simply proposed to build a new city, even if Zhao Huan's request for the new city was large enough and strong enough, then Qin Hui and Ding Hong would only agree with a smile, and they would not be as shocked as they are now.

Confused.

Because Zhao Huan’s requirement for the new city is “magnificent”!

In the eighth year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, the old gangster Liu Ji traveled from Liyang to Xianyang and discovered that Prime Minister Xiao He had ordered the construction of Weiyang Palace, which was magnificent and extremely luxurious.

However, in the face of Liu Bang's questioning, Xiao He's reason was: "The world has not yet been settled, so it is possible to move to the palace. The emperor's home is all over the world. It is not magnificent and majestic, and there is no way for future generations to add to it."

To put it simply, when the world was uncertain, no one cared about you living in a pigsty. Now you are the emperor and rich all over the world. If the place you live in is too shabby, it will lose the face of a man. If it is not magnificent, it will not be enough to show off your Han family.

The majesty of the emperor!

Now that Zhao Huan has proposed to build a new city, and the only requirement for the new city is "magnificent", then the official's intention can be easily revealed——

Make Shuntianfu the new capital!

If it were another emperor, he might just expand the Xijin Prefecture into Shuntian Prefecture and then use it as the northern capital - the Song Dynasty itself had four capitals in the east, south, west and north, but after taking back the sixteen states of Yanyun

, the geographical location of Daming Mansion is a bit awkward, and it is not suitable to continue to be the Beijing of the Song Dynasty.

But can today's official families be the same as those of past generations?

After hesitating for a while, Qin Hui bowed and said, hoping that he might get the wrong idea, "What is the official intention?"

"Yes. It's just what Qin Qing thought."

Zhao Huan said with a smile: "I plan to move the capital to Shuntian Mansion."

"Not for officials!"

Qin Hui bowed and said: "The place where Shuntian Prefecture fought for the fourth time has no danger of Tongguan Qinling Mountains, nor the hundreds of years of people's support in the Qin Dynasty. It is acceptable to use it as the gate of the country, but it is dangerous to use it as the capital. What's more, the imperial court has been in Kaifeng for a long time, so rashly

I'm afraid there will be a lot of inconvenience if we move to the north."

This is true——

In addition to Hebei's difficulties caused by repeated wars with the Liao Kingdom in the early years, it was also because the poisonous scholar Li Chui wrote an article "Guohe Xingshengshu". During the Song Dynasty, three generations of emperors from Renzong to Shenzong to Zhezong were staged.

After a good show of Sanyi returning to the river, the result was that the large granaries in Hebei, Shandong and Northern Jiangsu were completely destroyed, and many places were in a state of being uninhabited.

Not to mention anything else, Sunchonbu cannot become a new capital just from the perspective of population, economy, education and other aspects.

However, Zhao Huan smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Just because this is the gate of the country, I plan to move the capital here in the future. As the emperor, what kind of behavior would it be to live in Bianjing and enjoy life without guarding the gate of the country?

Also, there is no danger to defend here. As the saying goes, the strength of mountains and rivers lies in virtue rather than danger. With the popular support of millions of people in the Song Dynasty, there are natural dangers everywhere. Without the support of the people, it is as dangerous as the Qinling Mountains and as majestic as Tongguan.

What's the use?

What's more, Qin Qing also said just now that this is the place where the Four Wars were fought. Because of this, I can lead my troops to clear the grassland so that the Central Plains will no longer have to worry about the Northland."

"But the grassland is easy to fight but difficult to manage."

Ding Hong also stood up and objected: "Emperor Wu conquered Mobei twice, and the Huns fled thousands of miles away, but the grassland is still a thorn in the side of the Central Plains. The people of the grassland are different from the people of the Central Plains. If they can be defeated, they go south to plunder, and if they can't be defeated, they flee thousands of miles away.

, waiting for the opportunity to come back again. People often say that you can spend a thousand days to be a thief, but not a thousand days to guard against thieves. It is nothing more than this.

Even if the officials went on an expedition to Mobei and the grassland people fled thousands of miles away, what would happen thousands of years later? The grassland is not suitable for farming and it is inconvenient to build cities. With Shuntian Prefecture as the gate of the country, once Huma crosses the Great Wall, what will happen to Shuntian Prefecture? What's more,

Moving the capital is no small matter..."

"What Magistrate Ding said is true."

Qin Hui also echoed: "Now the reconstruction of the Fish Scale Yellow Book has not been completed, and the "Da Song Code" is still being revised. I think this is not a good time to move the capital."

Zhao Huan smiled and said: "I plan to move the capital, but I don't want to move it immediately. The Shuntian Mansion will be built in the name of Beidu first, and we will talk about it when the time is right."

Is the time ripe?

After hearing these four words, Qin Hui suddenly felt something in his heart, bowed and said: "The official is a sage."

Just when Zhao Huan hadn't figured out what his sage was, Qin Hui forced Ding Hong, who wanted to continue to dissuade him, to say goodbye and leave.

After leaving the camp, Ding Hongcai, who had been unable to break away, bitterly threw away Qin Hui's hand and said angrily: "Why are you forcing me out? How can moving the capital be a child's play?"

Qin Hui said: "Who said that the official family must move its capital?"

After hearing what Qin Hui said, Ding Hong suddenly asked with a confused look on his face: "Not moving the capital? If the government is not prepared to move the capital, why should we build Shuntian Mansion?"

"This is the brilliance of officials."

Qin Hui stroked his beard and said: "If the official family really wanted to move the capital, why would they let you and me build a new capital before discussing it in the court? This move of the official family is just to use you and me to build a new capital.

Spread the news about Xindu."

"Use your words and mine to spread the word about the construction of a new capital?"

Ding Hong was even more confused now: "If this matter is publicized in advance, wouldn't it give the ministers time to think of countermeasures in advance?"

After finishing speaking, Ding Hong couldn't help but clapped his hands and shouted: "Yes, it should be publicized in advance! Since you and I can't dissuade the officials, let the princes in the court know in advance, so that we can take advantage of the opportunity."

The officials should think of a countermeasure before returning to Beijing."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Ding Hong felt something was wrong again.

Qin Hui laughed and said, "Did you notice something was wrong?"

"Building the capital requires countless materials. How can the merchants in the world not take action? The gathering of merchants in Hebei means that a lot of money is piled up in Hebei. If you have money, do you still worry about having no one?"

"What's more, if the government really wants to move the capital to Shuntian Prefecture, then Shuntian Prefecture is the important place in the capital. Who under the emperor's feet doesn't want to settle down in the capital?"

"Even if you know that moving the capital may not be possible, this person still has to take a gamble, right?"

"Ordinary people can't afford to gamble, but generals, nobles, wealthy businessmen, and those who have risen up with the official campaigns these few times, can they afford to gamble but can't they?"

"The officials are now using you and me to publicize the construction of a new capital. This is an upright conspiracy to attract people from all over the world to gather in Hebei, so as to change Hebei's difficult situation!"

"Hiss~~~!"

After listening to Qin Hui's explanation, Ding Hong couldn't help but take a breath of air. He had contributed to delaying global warming thousands of years in advance: "The official conspiracy is so terrifying!"

Qin Hui said: "Yes, the officials have really taken great pains for Hebei and the people of Hebei."

Ding Hong couldn't help but nodded and said: "In that case, I will submit a formal request later. First, please build a new city, and then please change the name of Shuntian Prefecture to Beijing."

PS: I have nerve pain on the right side of my head. It has been hurting for several days, and now I really can’t bear it anymore. I will go to the hospital tomorrow and the update may be late.
