Chapter 371: Great appetite
Moving the capital is a big deal after all.
However, the reason is ready-made, at least it is much easier than when Wu Zetian moved the capital to Luoyang.
Chang'an was originally the capital, but now it is just a relocation. The seal of Wu Zhou here is really Taizong. Since it is the great Tang Dynasty, the Li family is now in the world, and it is still the right thing to do.
Chang'an was originally the old capital, the palaces were ready-made, and they were always maintained by people. Other facilities were not worse than those of Luoyang. It would be convenient to move the capital.
However... Luoyang has been the capital of the country for many years, and there are many obstacles to move.
Of course, the most important thing is that it is the emperor's meaning.
Wei Xuanzhen and Wei Hongmin discussed for a while. Although Wei Hongmin made a suggestion and felt that this suggestion was extremely feasible, it did not mean that he was sure. After all, he was separated from Empress Wei and could not handle some things. However, after Wei Xuanzhen was cautious, she expected her situation at this time and knew that the situation was hopeless. Only in this way can she live in death.
He narrowed his eyes, pondered for a long time, and finally said: "I will do it on the Empress, Lao Jiu, whether the Wei family can turn over now depends on this time. Shence Mansion... and the Kanto people are the biggest obstacles. Will they be willing to let us get all the rest? Alas... I have to be careful, then Qin Shaoyou is no longer Wuxia Amon."
Wei Hongmin pondered: "It is not necessarily true that they support or oppose it."
Wei Xuanzhen narrowed her eyes and couldn't help but say, "What, what do you mean?"
Wei Hongmin thought for a while and said, "If they object, it is not impossible, but what about them?"
Wei Xuanzhen sneered: "Why do they want to support it? Isn't this shooting himself in the foot?"
Wei Hongmin smiled pursed his lips and said, "Hongnong is different from other places. Hongnong is like a military town, self-sufficient, and Qin Shaoyou even put on horseback to manage the army and relieve the people. However, Qin Shaoyou's thoughts are not that simple. He has been prosperous over the years, Hongnong County has grown stronger and stronger. Brother, people's hearts will not be satisfied, but Qin Shaoyou is a great minister. In this life, it has actually come to an end. As long as Luoyang is still the capital, he will have to be limited to Hongnong for the rest of his life. After all, it is a place under the feet of the emperor. The court will no longer allow the Shence Army to expand and expand."
Wei Hongmin nodded after hearing this. This is nothing wrong. The court will not let the Shen Ce Army do whatever it takes. This is the bottom line. In other words, Hongnong was granted the title of Hongnong because Li Xian ascended the throne and urgently needed the support of the real power faction, especially the Shen Ce Army near the capital, which urgently needed to be stabilized. Only in this way can the Tang Dynasty's world be repetitive. After all, this world was also nominally taken away by the Shen Ce Army.
But the problem is that Luoyang is the capital. Although the Shence Army guards the capital, they have their advantages, but they have their disadvantages. It is precisely because of the capital that the capital is impossible for the Shence Army to penetrate the capital, and what if the capital is returned to Chang'an?
Once the capital is returned to Chang'an, the imperial guards will definitely take it away. After all, the imperial guards' obligation is to defend the emperor. Luoyang is the Eastern Capital after all. It is of course impossible to be useless with so many palaces. Then there must be a military horse to defend the place, and this place will no longer become a capital. The court's attention to Henan Prefecture will no longer be so concerned. What does this mean?
It means that the court will definitely entrust the responsibility of defending Luoyang, at least a considerable part, to the Shence Army. Since the Shence Army is responsible for protecting the Eastern Capital, it naturally becomes the largest local snake near Henan Prefecture. Although the imperial court will appoint officials here, Qin Shaoyou is the dominant one in the land of Guandong. Although he does not own this place in name, in fact, he can have the opportunity to share Luoyang. At least he has the right to interfere in many things in Luoyang City. Shence Army and his business can also take the opportunity to infiltrate this place, and even go from doing business in the past to master the commercial context of Guandong.
Where is Luoyang? It is the Dongdu, a place where the Wuzhou Dynasty has been operating for so long. There are countless merchants, countless exquisite residences, and the people’s wealth and ointment of the world. They have accumulated the magnificent here. Will Qin Shaoyou miss this opportunity?
Wei Xuanzhen seemed to have realized this problem, and he couldn't help but frown: "So, if I still have it, wouldn't it be for this tiger that pulled the teeth, and..."
This is what he is worried about. Qin Shaoyou has already started to suffer a lot of trouble. If he continues to indulge in this way, God knows what will happen?
Wei Hongmin had his own opinion on this: "It's urgent, and it's important to protect yourself. I can't control so many. Besides, no matter what his Shen Ce Army is, what can he do? The world's army is more than one million, and the Shen Ce Army will only take advantage at most. The most important thing at the moment is the Empress..."
Wei Hongmin's words are profound.
Wei Xuanzhen narrowed her eyes, as if she had experienced something: "What does Lao Jiu mean?"
Wei Hongmin's face was calm and said, "Is the current situation exactly the same as when the emperor saw favoring the late emperor?"
Wei Xuanzhen's heart skipped a beat and looked at Wei Hongmin incredibly. Wei Hongmin's words were really heartbroken.
This means that Wei will become Wu Zetian in the future.
However, after this thought, Wei Xuanzhen couldn't help but be moved. If Empress Wei also became Wu Zetian, then the Wei family...
Wei Hongmin said lightly: "It's all Guanzhong, and that's what we want. Stay here. Shen Ce Army is eyeing many things, and it's hard to plan. However, when he returns to Guanzhong, as long as he wins over the Guanlong families, there is a lot of potential. After all, when Zi is weak today, even far from the previous emperor, it won't take long to come from the Wei family. At that time, if some people are cut off and some confidants are put in, the world will naturally be able to find something. This matter cannot be urgent, it takes time. As for Qin Shaoyou,
Let him act here with mightyness, and one day, our Wei family can really..." He did not continue to say what he said later, but pursed his lips and smiled and said, "At that time, a mere Shen Ce Army was just a problem of scabies. Even if a piece of paper could not be used to him, appoint a member of the general and raise 200,000 troops would be enough to destroy them. Brother, the time required by our Wei family can only rely on restoration to fight for it, so whether this matter can be accomplished or not is closely related to the rise and fall of the Wei family."
Wei Hongmin paused: "I am not talented and knowledgeable. Thanks to the honor of the Empress, I entered the center as a distant relative because the Empress needs my foolish brother to plan this matter. This matter is extraordinary. If you take a wrong step, it will be a disaster, but when you walk over, you will suddenly become enlightened."
Wei Xuanzhen nodded repeatedly when she heard this, and she was also excited and said, "Okay, if this is true, it would be better."
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The two clan brothers agreed, and Wei Hongmin stood up and secretly went to the palace to serve on duty. The harsh words that Wei Hongmin gave to Qin Shaoyou now seem to be not just a simple vent. It is obvious that he is waiting for an opportunity, or waiting for a time to completely deal with Qin Shaoyou once and for all.
So although he suffered a severe setback, he was still calm and returned to the public housing to deal with military and political affairs.
Wei Xuanzhen stopped Wei Hongmin's encouragement and cheered up. He was busy going out to see Di Renjie. In his heart, he was afraid that he would have regarded Di Renjie as one of the characters who had been cut off. He smiled and went to greet Di Renjie.
Di Renjie was particularly harsh and said directly: "Best-in-law, as a minister, I came to investigate the corruption case thoroughly. If there is any trouble, I hope he can forgive me."
Wei Xuanzhen smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Duke Di is just casual. If there is something wrong, I hope Duke Di doesn't bother you."
Di Renjie was usually strict and rarely got close to others, so he ignored Di Renjie. He asked some people in the mansion, but he was not in a hurry to decide some cases. He just asked someone to copy some records and then took the people away.
As for Wei Xuanzhen's attitude, Di Renjie still had doubts. Of course, he knew that Wei Xuanzhen had always had a bad temper because of the royal relative, but today, it seemed that he felt something was hidden behind this politeness.
Di Renjie remembered Cui Feng, who was squeezed out of the temple, called recuperation, but in fact he was lurking. This Wei family case may be his chance to make a comeback.
Di Renjie was in the three provinces and was extremely dissatisfied with some of the Wei family members today. These people were royal relatives, and there was no difference between them and the Wu family back then. It was just that who was more domineering or not. But these people were abbots of military aircraft, which was really worrying.
"If Mr. Cui could come back to the abbot, the matter would not be so bad. The locust plague a few days ago, if Mr. Cui was there, the relief would have begun long ago, but now, the court has no movement at all, ah..." Di Renjie sighed in his heart.
He rode his horse and had arrived at Henan Prefecture. He immediately went in and temporarily requisitioned the Henan Prefecture to take the Wei family's case to the end.
Liang Zheng, the prefect of Henan, was originally Cui Feng's man. When he heard that Di Renjie was coming, he was of course welcomed him, so he was very happy.
When the two saw Li, Liang Zheng immediately expressed his efforts to assist Di Gong in dealing with the Wei family case.
