    Chapter 423: Canonizing the concubine?

    "The so-called best policy is an aggressive policy. Please see, my lord, Yang Lian has a lot of troops here. If my lord can capture Yang Lian, he will bring Yang Lian's 40,000 soldiers and horses into the nunnery, and then replace Ge Shuhan and occupy the entire Hexi area.  land, and then allied with the Tubo King Stanley to fight against Zhang Xuan, armed with a hundred thousand armor, and marching into the Central Plains, we can achieve hegemony."

    Taiping Taoist smiled slightly.

    Li Gong sighed, "Although what the military advisor said is reasonable, Yang Lian is Zhang Xuan's confidant and a chess piece planted by Zhang Xuan in Longshuo and Qinghai. How can he submit to me? With the more than 10,000 people under my command  , how could he be the opponent of Yang Lian's army. In the past few days, I have been worried that Yang Lian would raise his troops to go north and harass Wuwei."[]

    "My lord, Yang Lian seems to be Zhang Xuan's confidant, but in fact he is a member of the Yang family. Many people in the Yang family are capricious and lack loyalty, and Zhang Xuan does not trust them too much. The lord is Zhengshuo of the Tang Dynasty, a noble man from Tianyan. If he is the lord  If he can be promised a high-ranking official title, Yang Lian will not be able to abandon his secret position and surrender to the Lord."

    The Taiping Taoist talked eloquently and said with an awe-inspiring expression, "My lord, Pindao is willing to serve as an envoy to Yang Lian's army and try his best to persuade Yang Lian to surrender."

    Li Media was overjoyed, "If the military advisor can persuade Yang Lian, my hegemony will be restored soon!"

    ????????????? Indeed.  If Yang Lian surrenders Li Gong, Yang Jian in Anxi will definitely be persuaded.  Then Li Gong had a large army and occupied the entire Hexi and Western Regions. He then joined forces with Tubo to fight against Zhang Xuan. Even if he could not win the Central Plains, he could still separate the northwest and form his own country.

    The key to the problem is whether Taiping Taoist can persuade Yang Lian.  How deep is Yang Lian's desire to return to the Tang Dynasty?

    Taiping Taoist smiled calmly, "Without further delay, Pindao will set off now. However, before leaving, Pindao suggested that the lord must send troops to ambush outside Liangzhou and capture Ge Shuhan who returned to Hexi from Chang'an and kill him.  In order to eliminate future troubles. If Ge Shuhan is not dead, Hexi will not be able to fall into the hands of the lord."

    Li Qi gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "I have made up my mind, military advisor, go with peace of mind."

    In fact, Li Gong had already sent people to ambush on the road from Chang'an to Hexi, preparing to rob and kill Ge Shuhan.  Ge Shuhan was a Hexi vassal town of the Li Tang Dynasty and a Hexi military town conferred by Zhang Xuan's new dynasty. Although he was no longer in charge of administration and only in charge of military affairs, his influence in more than ten states in Hexi was unparalleled. If Ge Shuhan had not died,  Not to mention that Li Qi's plan to occupy the Central Plains and regain Li Tang would not be tenable even in Hexi.

    There is no need for Zhang Xuan to send troops to conquer, Ge Shuhan alone can destroy him.

    But Ge Shuhan was such a profound military general. On his way back to Hexi, Ge Shuhan got the news that Li Gong had raised troops in Wuwei and Liangzhou to restore the Tang Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor.  Ge Shuhan's first reaction was that Li Gong would attack him and definitely kill him on the way. Therefore, Ge Shuhan made a decisive decision and immediately changed his route to Qinghai, preparing to detour from Yang Lian's defense area, cross the Qilian Mountains, and return to his  Base camp Ganzhou.

    As long as he can return to Ganzhou and regain control of the army, what does a mere Li Gong mean?  In Ge Shuhan's heart, Li Gong was just a clown.

    The flower blooms on two branches, one on each side.

    Chang'an, Xijing.  When the first glow of dawn rose in the eastern sky, Zhang Xuan led the civil and military ministers of the dynasty, as well as the families of many dignitaries of the dynasty, as well as many palace maids and eunuchs, with a large amount of property and luggage, and left Chang'an with great fanfare and headed for Luoyang.  go.

    This capital relocation will be carried out in batches.  Yang Guozhong had already led a group of people to Luoyang before, and earlier, Gongsun Liang also led a group of people to Chang'an.

    The team that Zhang Xuan belongs to is the last batch.  The long procession of chariots, horses, and soldiers stretched for dozens of miles.  Zhang Xuan's leading "troops" have already entered the Guanzhong Plain, while the heavy baggage and silk convoys holding the line have just left the Chang'an city gate.  Those who moved the capital were not only courtiers and dignitaries, but also many merchants and common people.

    The four noble clans of Cui, Wang, Zheng and Lu also moved with Zhang Xuan. This was the imperial edict.

    The large group of troops marched very slowly, and only arrived at Tongguan ten days later.  The general guarding Tongguan came out of the pass. Zhang Xuan led his courtiers into Tongguan. After resting in Tongguan for a day, he continued his journey.

    In the afternoon of December 17, the first year of Yongning, Zhang Xuan finally led his team to Luoyang, Zhongjing.

    Yang Guozhong and others who arrived early, as well as Yan Zhenqing and Zhang Ting who guarded the Central Plains of Heluo, led officials and people from Beijing to sweep the streets and lay carpets, opened the city gates, and played ritual music. They knelt on both sides of the city gates to welcome the emperor.  Enter the city.

    Unlike Chang'an, the ancient capital Luoyang, which was now renamed Zhongjing, is the real imperial capital of the Chinese dynasty, at the feet of the new emperor.

    The people of Zhongjing lined the streets to welcome him, and the welcoming team continued to a place more than a hundred miles away from Zhongjing.  Along the way, the mountains shouted long liveThe sound shook the heaven and the earth.

    Zhang Xuan did not ride on the emperor's chariot, but on a horse.  Feeling the enthusiasm of the people along the way, he stopped and walked for nearly two hours for more than ten miles. It was not until dusk and sunset that he arrived outside the city gate.

    Zhang Xuan was sitting on a tall horse, with an overwhelming silk crown behind him.

    The Eighteen Iron Guards put on the special costumes of the palace guards, held Mo Dao, and guarded them closely.

    Yang Guozhong was in front, and Yan Zhenqing and Zhang Tong were behind. All the officials who had arrived in advance or were guarding Zhongjing prostrated themselves on the ground and shouted loudly, "I welcome your Majesty to return to the capital, and please come to the capital! Long live my emperor!"  "

    Zhang Xuan turned over and dismounted, waved his hands and said loudly, "Everyone is on your own, no courtesy."

    Zhang Xuan nodded to Yang Guozhong, and then went to Yan Zhenqing and Zhang Pingtong.

    "Qing minister, Wen Biao, I'm out of sight. Are you okay?" Zhang Xuan smiled slightly.

    Qingchen is the name of Yan Zhenqing, while Wenbiao is the name of Zhang Tong.  The two of them bowed again respectfully, "I hope you are well. Your Majesty is thinking of you. I am very worried!"

    Zhang Tong was granted the title of Marquis, and was listed as one of the eight founding princes canonized by Zhang Xuan. His official position was General Yulin. He was on an equal footing with Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun, and Li Siye, Zhang Xuan's three absolute confidants and generals. Naturally, he was  Very satisfied, grateful.

    Moreover, Zhang Tong garrisoned the capital together with the troops of Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun, and Li Siye, guarding the important place of Heluo Jingzai, which shows Zhang Xuan's trust in him.

    Although Yan Zhenqing did not have the title of marquis, nor did he go to the court to pay homage to the prime minister like Chen Xilie, Yang Guozhong, Guo Ziyi and others, he was the internal affairs order of the imperial court, the Yin of Zhongjing Prefecture, and the governor of Henan Province. His official rank was not much worse than that of Yang Guozhong, but his actual power was the same.  More than that.

    Yan Zhenqing never dreamed that he would be where he is today.

    To him, Zhang Xuan was nothing more than a gift of reincarnation. How could he not shed tears of gratitude and swear to die to repay his kindness?

    As the internal affairs order of the imperial court and the top local administrator of the capital, Yan Zhenqing shoulders important responsibilities.  The overall coordination of the capital move, including the renovation of the emperor's palace, the stability of the inner palace, logistical chores, the security and protection of Zhongjing, and even the placement of the residences of the powerful dignitaries of the dynasty who moved to Zhongjing, all fell on his shoulders.

    In the past two months, Yan Zhenqing has been restless, working non-stop with his subordinates running at a high pace.

    "Your Majesty, I have sent people to renovate and renovate the imperial city and palace city I will follow your majesty into the city and the palace, please review it." Yan Zhenqing walked over cautiously and reported in front of Zhang Xuan.

    This is no small matter.  Which palace should the emperor stay in, which palace should his concubines live in, which palace should the emperor manage his affairs in, and whether to maintain the current name or need to rename it all need to be decided by the emperor Zhang Xuan, who cannot be replaced by his ministers.

    However, Zhang Xuan is not particular about this.  Luoyang City originally had a well-equipped palace and imperial city, including hundreds of government offices. He had already decided to keep everything simple and based on the principle of no longer spending money and food.

    Zhang Xuan already knew the layout of Luoyang Palace and had a general plan in mind.

    As he took the lead in entering the Xihua Gate, he smiled at Yan Zhenqing and others who were following him, "Qing ministers, change the name of Qingshou Palace to Huaxia Palace, and the Qingshou Palace to Yongning Palace. I live in Huaxia Palace and pay homage to Huili  The government is in Yongning Hall, and matters such as receiving foreigners and guests having banquets are in Chongzheng Hall, Yanhe Hall and Jingfu Hall. Other palaces and halls are coordinated and deployed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Six Ministries. Remember not to leave them idle and not to waste.  , it is used less in the palace and more in the official discussion of government affairs.¡±

    "My family members all live in the back garden."

    Zhang Xuan waved his hand and made the final decision.

    The rear garden is at the northernmost end of the entire palace city, with Linhua Gate to the east and Zhonghua Gate to the south connected to the front palace, directly leading to the original Qingshou Palace, now the Huaxia Palace, where Zhang Xuan lived.

    In fact, Cui Ying and other women, including Zhang Xuan¡¯s mother Liu, had already lived in the back garden.

    Yan Zhenqing immediately bowed and accepted the order without any hesitation.

    Zhang Xuan entered the palace that truly belonged to him and moved into the largest palace in the palace city that was newly renamed Huaxia.  This palace is actually a palace complex, consisting of pavilions, halls, gardens, studies, halls, gardens and many other buildings.

    Live and handle state affairs here to avoid Zhang Xuan from running around.

    In the evening, we really settled down.  Zhang Xuan just rested for a while and was about to go to the back garden to visit his mother and get together with his wives, but was stopped by Chen Xilie, Yang Guozhong, Guo Ziyi and others.

    According to the six books of ministers, apart from Yang Jian who was still far away in the Western Regions and had not yet arrived, Zhang Xun had already rushed from Fan Yang to Luoyang.

    "Your Majesty!"Xilie led several cabinet ministers to block the entrance of Yongning Hall.

    Zhang Xuan frowned and said, "Chen Zaifu, you have been working hard for a few days, so go back to your hometown to rest first. If you have any state affairs tomorrow, we can talk about it the day after tomorrow!"

    Chen Xilie shook his head and said with emotion, "Your Majesty, I have discussed with all the cabinet ministers. Your Majesty has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself the emperor, settled in the central capital, and ruled the world. However, the master of the harem is still vacant. I would like to ask your majesty to appoint the concubine immediately to stabilize the order of the harem. At the same time, at the same time,  We have ordered a draft to replenish the harem and our court has newly established etiquette. Please do not underestimate it, Your Majesty."

    Canonizing a concubine?  Zhang Xuan was startled, then smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry about this yet, right?"

    "Your Majesty, the ceremony must not be discarded! Your Majesty, please appoint the concubine immediately to maintain order in the harem!" Zhang Xun stepped forward and bowed.
