Chapter 277 The Princess Is Happy
It is really difficult to feel the beauty of tranquility without experiencing a mess.
Although Chu Tianya didn't live in Luoyang for a long time and was unfamiliar with many places in his house, when he came back from the big military camp of Wutongyuan, he clearly felt a feeling of "home". With a sense of belonging and warmth.
When Chu Tianya sat and talked about official business with Meng De and Bai Xu, Xiao Linglong, a princess from the emperor, brought tea to the three people like a little daughter-in-law.
Meng De and Bai Yu were naturally flattered, while Chu Tianya smiled and said nothing.
Xiao Linglong glanced at Chu Tianya and went out of the house to be with He Bo. At this moment, she is like a little girl in her boudoir.
Uncle He lay on the big sleeping chair and looked at Xiao Linglong kindly, as if thinking.
Xiao Linglong's face turned red and white when he saw him, and she couldn't help saying, "Sir, I haven't seen you for a few days. Don't you recognize me?"
"The old man is not old enough." Uncle He smiled strangely, "It's just that I haven't seen you for a few days. I can see a strange but gratifying look from the princess's face."
Xiao Linglong blinked confusedly, "What's the solution to this?"
"Ring out your hand."
Xiao Linglong didn't know what to do and handed it over.
Uncle He's two dry fingers grabbed Xiao Linglong's wrist like ghost claws, which shocked her. If it hadn't been for the knowledge and absolute trust of the old man in front of him, he would have slapped him with Xiao Linglong's nature.
He Bo grabbed her wrist and pulsed.
"Hey hey, that's right!"
Xiao Linglong was even more stunned, "What on earth do you mean?"
"Princess, come here." Uncle He smiled with a sly smile on his face.
Xiao Linglong leaned over suspiciously and heard He Bo whispering in his ear. Suddenly, she blushed to the root of her neck and jumped away as if she were running away.
"Sir, you are really disrespectful!"
"Cough!" Uncle He actually coughed awkwardly and waved to Xiao Linglong, "Woman, come here, don't shout loudly - you answer the old man, yes or not?"
Xiao Linglong stood motionless, biting her lips, her face was so red that she could almost drip blood, and nodded reluctantly.
"Hey hey! Good things, good things!" He Bo's face suddenly turned red and his eyebrows flew, "Old Chu's family, finally there will be a queen!"
Xiao Linglong was suddenly embarrassed, "Old man, you whisper - what are you talking about!"
"Haha!" Uncle He smiled happily, "Although the old man is old, he is not confused at all. Although medical skills are not my specialty, the No. 1 pulse elephant is inseparable - girl, from now on, you have to take care of your health, and don't be angry, tired, and catch a cold! Now you have the most respected baby in the world!"
"Puff!" Xiao Linglong was angry with Uncle He, an old and disrespectful guy, "Sir, you really don't have the style of elders. You are full of nonsense!"
"Hey hey! Did you know the old man on the first day? Uncle He was happy and got up from the big chair, but he pulled Xiao Linglong down and gently patted her on the shoulder and said, "You can rest. From now on, you are not allowed to interfere in any laborious things. The old man will go to Luoyang Palace immediately and choose ten or eight smart maids for you to serve you!"
"Hey, old man, don't make a fuss!" Xiao Linglong said eagerly, "Tianya has already ordered not to disturb those officials who stay here in the court, otherwise they will have a bad reputation!"
"Shut up! - I have the final say about this!" Uncle He rarely is so serious and strict. He said, "It's not to grab them for abuse and trafficking, but to let them do what they can, which is better than wasting food and raising them for nothing!"
Xiao Linglong was speechless, so she had to smile bitterly and whisper, "At least you have to know the end of the world..."
He Bo turned his eyes and said, "Oi, I'll talk about it."
So, the old man, with a crutch, thongdong into Chu Tianya's study.
Chu Tianya, Meng De and Bai Zhi were discussing how to deal with the envoys of the two countries. When they saw He Bo suddenly coming uninvited, they all looked at him in surprise.
"Old man, what's the matter?"
"Small things." He Bo stood at the door and didn't come in. He said, "The old man wants ten Gong'e in Luoyang Palace." Puff--" Meng De was drinking tea when he sprayed out a mouthful of tea.
Chu Tianya and Bai Xu can't help laughing, "Old man, you need so many Gong'e when you are old..."
"The old man should be strong!" Uncle He looked at Chu Tianya and others angrily, "Just say, give it or not?"
Chu Tianya laughed dumbly. Of course, he knew that Uncle He was not a reckless person, so he said, "If the old man is driven, go and call it!" Just use it to remember to return it. Those women are from the court. We don't have to be scolded in such a trivial matter.
"You can rest assured." After saying that, Uncle He angrily went out Chu Tianya and turned around and left, and slammed the door heavily.
The three of them were stunned, "What's wrong with the old man today?"
Chu Tianya blinked his eyes and said to himself. In my impression, the old man had never looked at my face and treated me more than my own son. Naturally, the person who can make him angry with me is more important than me... Who else can there be besides Xiao Linglong? The old man has always been fond of this old Chu's beloved daughter-in-law and his beloved apprentice!
Bai Xu thought about it and Wan'er smiled, "Xiaosheng guessed that most of the princess sued the old man... Cough, cough! The master's family affairs, subordinates should not talk too much. Death, death!"
Meng De laughed as soon as he heard it, "Brother, now the big deal has been settled. You should also marry the princess. Since you worshiped me Meng Laoqi as your brother, you all say that the eldest brother is like a father. Whether you are the Taibao of Longcheng or the King of Luoyang, I have to take care of your marriage. Why don't you get married as soon as possible while you go back to Luoyang? What do you think?
Chu Tianya suddenly looked embarrassed, "I rushed back to Luoyang in a hurry to deal with the affairs of the envoys of the two countries. The 200,000 troops in the Wutong Plain did not know that their commander left the army and came to Luoyang. The overall situation in Tokyo is undecided. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to be busy with private marriage at this time.
"This is also reasonable..." Meng De muttered a few words and suddenly patted his thighs, "Why don't you set the marriage in Tokyo?"
"Vit's very good!" Bai Shu attached on the spot and said, "Looking at the current situation, the lord will enter the main court sooner or later. The scholar in the list of scholars also wants to entertain guests. Why doesn't the lord take advantage of this big wedding to build a great momentum in Kyoto and collude with those officials and officials more, so as to expand the reputation of the lord and lay a solid foundation?
Chu Tianya smiled slightly, "When you say Kyoto, do you mean Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo City?"
Bai Xi and Meng De were stunned at the same time, "Where else can it be?"
Chu Tianya smiled more mysteriously, "Henan Prefecture, Luoyang County, isn't it the Kyoto of the Song Dynasty?"
"Yes, Luoyang, it's Song Xijing." Meng De nodded as if he didn't understand, but he was still a little confused.
Bai Shu's eyes lit up, "Does the lord want to move the capital?"
Chu Tianya clasped high-five, "Those who know me are humble!"
Meng De suddenly realized and patted his forehead, "Yes, moving the capital - why didn't I think of it?"
Bai Qi has fallen into meditation. Chu Tianya looked at him quietly and waited for his next step. Seeing that neither of them was silent, Meng De waited patiently. He knew that in planning this kind of thing, he Meng was far inferior to the two present.
After a long time.
"What do you think of Jingqian?" Chu Tianya just asked.
Bai Xi took a deep breath, "In terms of history, humanities, geography and military, Luoyang is indeed more suitable as the capital of the Song Dynasty than Kaifeng. However, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the capital of the Song Dynasty has been established as Tokyo, which is deeply rooted and regarded as the core of the world. If we move the capital rashly now, I'm afraid it will touch the root of the world and make the society turbulent and the people suffer.
Chu Tianya smiled and said, "You don't think of Dong Zhuo moving the capital with the emperor when he was in chaos, right?"
"I dare not, and I won't think so." Bai Shu arched his hand and replied indifferently, "Tokyo was surrounded by Jur-chan's two times, which indeed exposed its great geographical and military shortcomings. In order to make up for this drawback, the Song Dynasty has been tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall for many years, and building three military towns in Zhending, Hejian and Zhongshan in Hebei to prevent Tokyo from directly facing the threat of Beidi. The annual military expenditure is almost empty of the treasury. But it turns out that the three towns can't really resist the enemy outside the country. On the contrary, once the three towns fall, Tokyo will be even more vulnerable.
"That's right. It's out of this consideration that I still think that the Song Dynasty must move to the capital." Chu Tianya said, "How good Luoyang is. Guanshan is dangerous and solidifies the water and land. If you enter, you can take the world, and if you retreat, you can keep it. Throughout the ages, it has been the place where the emperor has achieved success. Tokyo in the Song Dynasty has been in business for a hundred years, and it has been rich so far. But if you are under the city by Hu soldiers twice in just three years, will it be the third time before you are willing to move?
Bai Xun was speechless for a moment. After a moment of silence, he said, "At the beginning of the founding of Taizu's state, there was a master's divination, saying that Zhao Song Wang's division in Shenxing refers to Kaifeng Prefecture. Li Tang started in Jindi and belongs to the division of Shangxing. There is a saying that 'the merchants in the sky do not meet each other', which means that Li Tang and Zhao Song are in line with each other. Therefore, Taizu and Taizong are very taboo about Li Tang's Longqi's land, that is, Taiyuan, where we used to be. Only then did Taizu and Taizong conquer Taiyuan several times, and later burned and flooded Taiyuan. Originally, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Taizu also considered building the capital Luoyang, but out of this level of consideration, he gave up Taiyuan and built the capital in Kaifeng. The lord started in Longcheng and flourished in Taiyuan. Now he is about to move the capital to Taiyuan... In the eyes of the Zhao and Song royal family and the people, it is no different from destroying the country of Zhao and Song and starting a new stove. With all due respect, the hearts of the people are hard to resist!"
After listening to this, Chu Tianya nodded thoughtfully, "Your concerns are reasonable. It seems that the relocation of the capital cannot be done in a hurry.
"What kind of star fate is all pedantic and cliché!" Meng De said angrily, "It's just because of Fang Shi's words that the Song Dynasty has spent countless military money for a hundred years and raised a group of soldiers in the three towns in Hebei, but it turned out to be nothing. After moving the capital to Luoyang, the imperial capital has stabilized and everything is easy to do.
"What the seventh brother said is reasonable. But the human heart is the most subtle and unpredictable thing in the world. Bai Xun frowned and said patiently, "After all, there are very few people who can understand the advantages and disadvantages of Tokyo in military and geography. More than 90% of people are used to Kaifeng Mansion as the imperial capital. Once there is a change, people will be uneasy. Among other things, those students alone will be nice to the master and scold him. The worst offending thing in this world is the scholars, because they are the bridge between the powerful and the common people. If the scholar is dissatisfied with the government, then the court will be in danger. In the same way, it is the same for the lord. Although we get up and be strong in the army, if the master wants to go further, it's time to attract scholars.
"Jingqian's words come to the point." Chu Tianya said, "It has always been martial arts to seize the world and govern the world. The set of charging alone can't last for a long time. I have such an idea - move the capital step by step.
"Well, what do you say?" Bai Shu and Meng De asked curiously.
"That is, it is not clear that the relocation of the capital will be announced." Chu Tianya said, "After I enter the government, I will accompany the official family three or five times and often come to Luoyang to live for a period of time. The first time I lived for seven or eight days, the second time I lived for the first half month and twenty days, and the next time I lived for two or three months, three or five months. It took several years to transfer the political, economic and military center of the Song Dynasty to Luoyang. Complete the relocation of the capital by boiling frogs in warm water. When those people react, the relocation has been completed.
"It's feasible." Bai Yu's eyes lit up and praised, "The lord is really smart, and the metaphor of 'cooking frogs in warm water' is also appropriate. It's just that the two places come and go back and go, which consumes human and material resources, and it is inevitable to save the people.
"There's nothing we can do." Chu Tianya said, "For the court, I'm just a new threshold person, and I don't understand many things. Although I have military power, I can't rely on violence alone. It's time to put Wenzhi on the agenda.
Bai Xi said, "Lord, Xiaosheng thought that we can start to recruit students from all over the world to work in Luoyang now, and attract more scholars. The official governance and cultural governance of the Song Dynasty are quite complete, and the mouthpiece of the world is ultimately in the hands of scholars. Once the war stops, Wenzhi will become very important. If the lord starts to cultivate talents and recruit students from this time, it will be a useful place.
"Very good." Chu Tianya's eyes lit up, "We can't be a grass bandit for a lifetime. As soon as Chu stepped into the court, he needed a large number of officials to assist and build momentum. Jingqian, if you have any ideas, just implement them.
"Xiaosheng proposed to set up a school in Henan Prefecture and around Luoyang to recruit more officials." Bai Wei said, "The court has granted amnesty to the lord as the king of Luoyang and awarded him a lieutenant. The lord's door should widely weave some scholars and capable people. Building a school and soliciting Wenshi is the most effective and fastest way.
"Good." Chu Tianya agreed without hesitation, "Ask a few famous teachers for me and teach me to read more books."
Meng De couldn't help laughing, "Bandit leader, are you going to be a scholar?"
"Why not?" Chu Tianya also smiled, "The bandits are not terrible, but I'm afraid that the bandits are educated. In the future, I will only have more opportunities to deal with scholars. Although it doesn't mean to surpass them in literary accomplishment, it can't be regarded as illiterate by them, can it?
