Chapter 186 Looking at Luoyang
Song Qing has nothing to do with some Liangshan brothers who are bolder than the sky. You can't let them listen to everything, can they?
The land of Hebei has just been occupied, and what is most needed now is to rest and recuperate, rather than making enemies everywhere.
There is no problem with Zhu Wu's idea. The more chaotic the country is, the better it is for Liangshan, but the premise is that the Liangshan regime must be strong enough.
Now the footsteps of winter have crossed the land of Shandong, and Song Qing's footsteps have also come to Kaifeng.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and many things have to be put down temporarily, but it does not affect making decisions.
With the continuous expansion of the territory, it is imperative for the regime to move south. Song Qing also wanted to come to Liangshan to guard the country like the Ming Dynasty, but for now, it is obviously unrealistic.
Although Kaifeng is good, it is not the ideal capital of Song Qing. He came here to open the seal for this matter.
In addition, what alerted Song Qing was the secret report given to him by the internal guard. Civil officials like to take fellow villagers and classmates as the party. In this way, people in Liangshan, who are weak in government affairs, are easily squeezed out.
And today's Kaifeng has gathered most of his former Taixue classmates after Chen Dong became the master. Although Chen Dong has no military power, Liangshan people also can't get involved in local government affairs.
Song Qing can give them appropriate decentralization, but he must not tolerate being overshadowed. In fact, this does not mean that Chen Dong has any different intentions. It is mainly due to the habits of Kaifeng's officialdom for many years, and if it can turn this place into an ordinary city, many problems can be solved.
Chen Dong is now righteous, and he now belongs to the right team and follows the right people. Without Song Qing, he could not have entered Kaifeng at the age of less than 30. Moreover, according to Liangshan's current development trend, he also has a bright future.
Hearing that Song Qing was coming, Chen Dong led officials at all levels out of the city to welcome him. Wu Yong has already returned to Jinan because of other things.
The Liang Palace in Kaifeng was originally under construction, but it stopped for some reason. Chen Dong sent someone to ask, but was told that it was stopped by the order of Liang.
Chen Dong's inertial thinking felt that Song Qing would definitely set the capital in Kaifeng in the future, so he naturally felt that Song Qing wanted to live in the Zhao Song Palace, which was already empty.
Zhao Song has not perished. Now that he lives in someone else's palace, he will definitely give people an explanation, so Chen Dong is ready to take the opportunity of Song Qing to come to Kaifeng to persuade Song Qing and dispel this idea.
After a disturbing welcome ceremony, Song Qing lived in the government office. First, he listened to Chen Dong and others about Kaifeng's entry, and then learned about his people's livelihood and other things.
Although Kaifeng was destroyed by the Jin soldiers, it recovered quickly with the full support of Shandong. Therefore, the current overall development is still very good, and Chen Dong and other members are also optimistic about the prospects of Kaifeng.
After affirming and praising everyone's work, Song Qing suddenly changed the topic and said, "I want to go to Luoyang for a walk. I don't know how the court will react?"
Song Qing's thinking jumped too much. When everyone was happily yearning for the future development of Kaifeng, they didn't expect Liang Wang and his old man to go to Luoyang.
However, I don't know that Song Qing has just strengthened the idea of giving up Kaifeng. Now these officials below have only Chen Dong. Basically, what Chen Dong said, they will follow what they agree with. How can they do if it goes on like this?
Chen Dong is stunned. He is also a person who knows Song Qing and knows that Song Qing's words will never be aimless. This must be meaningful.
Song Qing waved his hand and asked others to go down first and leave Chen Dong alone.
is also an old subordinate, so Song Qing did not intend to hide it from him and directly wanted to move Jinan to Luoyang.
Although Kaifeng is the capital of the Song Dynasty, it is not the capital of Liangshan, so when Song Qing said that he would move Jinan to Luoyang, Chen Dong understood Song Qing's idea. But he still didn't think about himself.
frowned and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for your rudeness, because I think your idea is too unrealistic. First of all, Luoyang is still under the control of the imperial court. We have no reason to occupy it. If we boldly send troops to garrison, people will think that we are going to rebel!"
"In addition, all the facilities in Kaifeng are complete, and both officials and people recognize it. If the prince changes places rashly, I'm afraid they won't be able to adapt!"
Luoyang belongs to Henan Prefecture, and there is still Zhengzhou between it and Kaifeng Prefecture, so what Chen Dong said is not unreasonable. There is really no reason for Song Qing to occupy it.
But the reasons have been found. At the beginning, Song Qing had no reason to occupy Shandong! Is it different and stable now? Everything is man-made.
Song Qing could hear from Chen Dong's words that he was actually not selfish. It can be said that he was thinking about himself. But sometimes, nothing can be done as you want.
The Song Dynasty has rotten from top to bottom, and many of the officials surrounding Chen Dong now are officials of the former court, and they do not have the same style as the Zhao and Song court in their daily behavior.
In order to maintain the integrity of his subordinates and to have a new leadership group in the future, it is imperative to move the capital. And this move is not a disguised rescue for Chen Dong.
Shake his head and said, "I hope there will be no Zhao Song in our future court, and you know that Kaifeng has no natural barrier, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend, so the center of our Liangshan regime must not be located here."
Song Qing has decided to give up here. Didn't he do everything he had done before in vain? I still don't feel reconciled when I think about it. However, Chen Dong also heard a different taste from Song Qing's tone.
He meditated for a moment and said, "Since the prince has made a decision, I will obey his orders."
If Chen Dong insists on keeping Kaifeng, his political life is likely to end here. But he obviously passed another test.
Song Qingzhan smiled and said, "You are the person I value most. I hope you can fight lightly. After I solve the matter in Luoyang, you will still be the governor of Luoyang, but I want you to go alone, do you understand?"
Song Qing's words have come to this end. If Chen Dong doesn't understand any more, there will be something wrong with his head. His back sweated in an instant. Immediately bowed and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
"Just understand, go ahead! Explain the matter here and be ready to go to Luoyang to take office at any time.
Chen Dong, who understood that the problem was there, left in a cold sweat. Song Qing fell into meditation again.
Recently, he has been thinking about putting the center of the regime there, and finally saying that Luoyang is not the result of his inspiration.
First of all, Luoyang's geographical location is surrounded by dangers, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is known as "the situation is the best in the world". A stable capital is more conducive to the stable development of the imperial court. Many dynasties in history have set the capital there for this reason.
Luoyang is not far from Kaifeng and Hebei, which can be said to be the hinterland in the hinterland of the Central Plains. If the land of the Central Plains is compared to a body, Luoyang is undoubtedly the position of the heart.
Song Qing led his troops out of Liangshan, and there was already a political center in Jinan Prefecture, and if he changed places, it would be the last time. Therefore, Song Qing also chose Luoyang from the perspective of selecting the capital.
The only difficult thing to do now is that Luoyang is still under the control of the imperial court. If you want to control Luoyang, you must choose a good time and method.
He stood up and turned around the room with his hands behind his hands. When he turned to the window, a vase on the window sill caught his attention.
No flowers and plants can survive in this season. What interested Song Qing is the delicate peony flower depicted on the vase.
Looking at it, a smile appeared at the corners of Song Qing's mouth.
A few days later, a high-spirited official came to the government of Luoyang magistrate. The official claimed to be from Bianliang, Tokyo and had something important to see the Luoyang magistrate.
Henan Prefecture is not far from Kaifeng Prefecture. Of course, I know that Bianliang in Tokyo has become the territory of King Liang. Since this official comes from there, he should be a subordinate of King Liang.
The court has a mansion newspaper, so all government officials know that King Liang is the ruler of Shandong and Hebei. In this case, what are his officials doing in Henan?
With this question, the governor of Luoyang met with this official named Li Yun.
After seeing the governor of Luoyang, Li Yun immediately conveyed the decree of His Royal Highness the King of Liang, saying that the king of Liang liked Luoyang peonies very much, so he wanted to build a mansion in Luoyang for him to enjoy flowers in the coming year.
Will King Liang build a mansion in Luoyang?
The governor of Luoyang thought he had heard it wrong and subconsciously refused, but finally he closed his mouth quickly, because he suddenly thought of Liangshan's invincible army. If you don't agree, will Liang Shan's army kill you? But if you agree, how can you explain it to the court?
Liang Wang Song Qing's mind is now similar to that of Sima Zhao's heart. People on earth soon know, and the place occupied by him has never been heard that he has been given to the court. Is it possible that he is focusing on this place in Henan again?
Seeing that the magistrate of Luoyang was silent, Li Yun smiled coldly and said, "Your Excellency, it is better to know the current affairs. You should know that no one who is right with my prince has a good end."
The magistrate frowned and said, "Can you allow the officials to report to the court? This will not make it difficult for subordinates to do it. What do you think?
Li Yunpi continued with a smile, "I don't care who you report, but you can't let me go back so empty, can you? In this way, I will choose the place where the government is built first, and you report to the court that none of us will delay anyone."
"This... All right!"
The magistrate helplessly agreed to Li Yun's suggestion, and then immediately wrote a memorial to the court, asking the court to make a quick final.
Li Yun went to choose the place where he could build the royal palace. What did he ask for instructions? After choosing a place, I directly ordered people to build it without stopping at all because of the weather.
This is just one of Song Qing's plans. After the palace is built, of course, soldiers will be sent to guard it.
This is called cutting meat with a soft knife, and let the court see that we Liangshan are not blindly using force when doing things, but we are also very approachable.
