    PS: Thanks to brothers Qianyuan Henry Zhen, No Words, and Listen to the Song of the Sea for their rewards.  Since the rise of Jinyang, the Li family, who was born in the Guanlong military aristocratic group, has gained great power in the world and established the Tang Empire.  As the representative of the Guanlong forces, Li himself needs to weaken the constraints of this force on himself. This is a realistic choice that those in power must face.  Therefore, in the eighty years of the early Tang Dynasty, the royal family handled government affairs in the Eastern Capital for forty-five years, which actually exceeded Xijing, which was the capital of the country.  Thanks to this, even if Luoyang's construction is slightly inferior to Chang'an, it is not far behind. Especially when Emperor Wu was in power, Luoyang's prosperity even vaguely surpassed Chang'an and became the center of the world.  After the Su Dynasty, due to the separatist rule of the Anshi military group, Luoyang, which was closer to Hebei, gradually moved away from its position as the capital. Although it was still retained in name, its actual function was still that of a state.  Therefore, Luoyang gradually became depressed.  However, it is precisely because of this that the tragedy of repeated destruction of Chang'an in the past thirty years has not been staged in Luoyang, which also makes Luoyang's preservation situation much better. Although it was destroyed once by the Uighurs during the Anshi Rebellion, the extent of the damage  Far lower than Chang'an.  In recent years, King Liang has been thinking about changing the dynasty and returning it to another dynasty. His plan was to set the capital in Luoyang. Therefore, since the first year of Tianfu, all Henan's financial, material and human resources have been concentrated on Luoyang, almost repairing the declining Luoyang.  A new one.  It's a pity that this move ended up being a wedding dress, and the peaches planted by King Liang were not able to be picked by himself.  On the first day of June in the third year of Tianyou, Luoyang was heavily guarded. Youzhou military commander Meng Xuxing, inspector Wang Yibu, and Sima Xue Jisheng were in place.  The Youzhou Army entered the city the day before yesterday. After entering the city, they dispersed the so-called forbidden army recruited by the emperor, and soon took over the entire Luoyang.  The three of them have their own division of labor. Meng Xuxing is responsible for the defense of the outer city, Wang Yibo is responsible for the defense of the imperial city, and Xue Jisheng is responsible for the control of the palace city.  Meng Xuxing stood on the tower of Dingding Gate and looked at the important points one by one.  Seeing that the sergeants were all well-arranged, he nodded.  The flag-bearing soldier lowered a dusty khaki five-clawed Tang flag with golden dragons from the tower, and raised an identical flag, but newer, with gold stitches around it, especially the word "Tang" in the middle, which was dazzling.  The dazzling golden glow is reflected in the sunlight.  After nine deafening drums.  A team of carriages and horses drove up outside Dingding Gate, with flags fluttering and colorful flowers fluttering.  Hundreds of warriors in costumes, each holding axes, halberds and hammers, led the way, followed by six chariots and dozens of civil and military officials.  There was a young man sitting under the umbrella, looking around curiously, but it was none other than Prince Li Zhen.  The person driving the chariot for Prince Li Zhen was Zhang Maoan, the newly promoted palace envoy.  Following the carriage on the left side of the prince were Han Quanjie, the secret envoy to the left, Zhang Juhan, the secret envoy to the right, and Zhang Chengye, the envoy to Xuanhui.  On the right side of the prince's royal chariot is the King of Yan, Li Chengzhong, who is accompanying him on horseback.  There are more than fifty officials waiting outside Dingding Gate. The leader is Zhang Jun, who has just resumed his post. The emperor appointed him Zuopushe, the minister, and he is the chief minister and the first of all officials.  Behind Zhang Jun were Shangshu's right servant She Peishu, his servant Dugu Sun, and Zhongshu's servant Liu Can.  Now that the court is declining, these officials outside Dingding Gate.  They were already all the officials above the seventh rank in Luoyang City. If the emperor hadn't temporarily summoned more than ten people including Zhang Wenwei, Cui Yuan, Yang She, who had been deposed for a long time, the welcoming ceremony would have been even more shabby.  Zhang Jun led all the officials forward and knelt down to pay homage to the prince. The prince, who was just in his early tenth year, looked nervously at Han Quanjie beside him. Han Quanjie whispered: "Your Highness, just follow the previous agenda.  "Don't be nervous." The prince looked at Li Chengzhong who was riding on the right.  Li Chengzhong smiled at him, so the prince plucked up his courage and said, "Your Majesty, please excuse me!" Zhang Jun stood up and bowed to Li Chengzhong again. Li Chengzhong dismounted and helped the court officials to their feet one by one.  The chariot started again and passed through Dingding Gate.  Walk north along Dingding Street, pass through twelve lanes on the left and right, and go straight to Tianjin Bridge.  Luoyang lies across the Luoshui River, which flows from east to west.  Divide Luoyang City into north and south districts.  After crossing Tianjin Bridge, we set foot on Beicheng. In front of us was a large school ground, and a majestic and fortified imperial city appeared in front of us.  Wang Yibu led thousands of soldiers to stand on both sides of the royal road, gesturing to Li Chengzhong from a distance. Li Chengzhong then asked Zhang Maoan to drive straight to Duanmen.  Within Duanmen is the imperial city. The Tianjie Royal Road is five hundred steps long, and the government offices are arranged on both sides of the Tianjie Royal Road.  The three provinces of Zhongshu, Menxia and Shangshu are on the left, among which the six departments of Shangshu occupy most of the place; the three departments of Taiyuan, Dianyuan and Chayuan are Yushitai, Guozijian, Shaofujian, Jiangzuojian, Military Warden and Dushuijian.  Prison, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, Weiwei Temple, Zongzheng Temple, Taipu Temple, Dali Temple, Honglu Temple, Sinong Temple, Taifu Temple and other nine temples are arranged on the right side of the imperial road.  Compared with Chang'an, the government offices in Luoyang are obviously smaller, but now there are not many officials in the court. Many of these government offices now have empty names and appearances, and there are no officials who perform their duties at all.nothing.  The imperial road continued forward and soon arrived at the palace city.  The three palace gates, Changle Gate, Yingtian Gate and Mingde Gate, are arranged side by side from west to east, and are now all wide open.  The prince's chariot stopped here. Li Chengzhong dismounted, walked to the chariot, and extended his hand to the prince Li Zhen.  When the prince Li Zhen was in Youzhou, Li Chengzhong often came to visit him. He also hired many teachers for Li Zhen, including Li Chengzhong himself, and also taught a course called "Ideology and Morality".  Li Chengzhong's teaching method is very unique. He usually teaches Li Zhen in the form of storytelling. Most of the stories are taken from "Journey to the West", and there are also many "Kitten Fishing", "Three Little Pigs", "Three Monks"  "", "The Crow Drinks Water" and other sketches are very suitable for Li Zhen.  Many times, Li Chengzhong would take Li Zhen out for outings and hunting, and would have a self-service barbecue from time to time.  This teaching method obviously makes Li Zhen happier than the teachings of Feng Dao and others, so Li Zhen looks forward to seeing Li Chengzhong every time.  When Li Chengzhong went out to fight, Li Zhen often wrote letters to Li Chengzhong and completed the homework assigned by Li Chengzhong.  Seeing Li Chengzhong reaching out his hand, Li Zhen naturally pulled him up, and was led off the chariot by Li Chengzhong.  An adult and a child held hands and entered Yingtianmen. Han Quanjie and other officials waited more than ten steps and followed.  The officials behind him also entered from Changle Gate and Mingde Gate respectively according to their civil and military duties.  There is an open square in front of you. Of course, it is obviously much narrower and more cramped than the Tiananmen Square that Li Chengzhong saw in later generations, but even so, it is enough to reflect the royal majesty.  The Qianyuan Hall standing on the 27-step high platform is majestic and intimidating.  Li Chengzhong pulled Li Zhen, who was just above his waist, and pointed at the Qianyuan Palace and said: "Tomorrow you will sit in the main hall and receive congratulations from hundreds of officials. Do you remember what I asked you to learn a few days ago? Don't remember it wrong.  "Oh, I remembered it wrong. I won't tell you stories anymore." Li Zhen just held Li Chengzhong's hand, looked timidly at the tall Qianyuan Hall, and whispered hesitantly: "I remember Yafu, I am."  Can I not be the emperor? " "Oh? Why don't you want to be the emperor?" Li Chengzhong was a little curious. This was the first time Li Zhen had mentioned this to him.  "I don't understand what Master Feng said about how to govern the country, and I don't understand how to be an emperorand being an emperor has a lot of rules. The rules Master Feng taught made me uncomfortable and uncomfortable" As he said,  , Li Zhen lowered his head and said softly as if he had made a mistake: "Yafu, please don't blame me, okay? I heard from Master Pei that it is not a blessing for the country to be an emperor at a young age. For example, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Cao Huan of the Wei Dynasty, and Emperor Song of the Song Dynasty  Emperor Liu Zhun and Emperor Qi Xiao Baorong each ascended the throne at a young age, but both died and the country was destroyed" When he came to this world, Li Cheng, who had been influenced by historical knowledge, felt something in his heart.  These young emperors in history mentioned by Li Zhen also have a common characteristic: they are all held hostage by powerful ministers.  If we have to compare it with the present, what Li Chengzhong did is equivalent to what Dong Zhuo did to Liu Xie, what Sima Zhao did to Cao Huan, what Xiao Daocheng did to Liu Zhun, and what Xiao Yan did to Xiao Baorong.  Looking at the little kid Li Zhen with a begging look on his face, Li Cheng felt weak in his heart.  Li Chengzhong came from a later generation, and he couldn't bear to push such a young child to the forefront. He still hasn't figured out how to deal with this ignorant child who once snuggled up to him and listened to his stories.  Regardless of his benevolence as a woman or his lack of heroism, he could not be ruthless enough to destroy this little life. Therefore, he was still undecided on how to deal with Li Zhen's problem in the future.  "Tell Yafu, if you don't want to be an emperor, what do you want to do?" "I want to travel far away! Yafu's Journey to the West is very good, and I also want to travel to the West. Look at those strange people and strange things, and look at the local customs and customs  , this is such an interesting thing" Speaking of "Journey to the West", Li Zhen's eyes immediately lit up: "Didn't Yafu say that there are many countries overseas? The world is so vast that it is far beyond the reach of a corner of the Central Plains.  If you don¡¯t want to be a frog in the well, you must look at where the horizon is!¡± ¡°Well¡± Li Chengzhong looked at Li Zhen who was getting more and more excited as he talked, rubbed his head, and said with a smile: ¡°Well, do you think this will work?  When you grow up, I will give you a fleet and let you travel around the world? " "That's great! Is this true, Yafu? " " Of course it's true, Lagou but  You have to agree to one condition: be the emperor for one year first. "Okay, but only for one year, okay? I'm going to be eleven soon. I need to spend more time preparing until I'm fifteen."  Then we can go to sea! I don¡¯t know if four years of preparation is enough" Li Zhen's cheerful laughter echoed in the palace, attracting many curious eyes, but Li Zhen was completely unaware, still immersed in excitement and incompetence  Self-sustaining.  Even Li Chengzhong's mood suddenly relaxed a lot in this innocent laughter.
