The Song Dynasty had four capitals, located in the four directions of east, west, south and north. Each capital had to defend one side, which greatly increased the centralization of power.

Compared with the compactness of Tokyo City, Luoyang City is more majestic. This ancient imperial capital retains the customs of the Han and Tang Dynasties. The layout of the entire city is wider and the streets are relatively less encroached. It is not like the integration of cities, squares and cities in Tokyo.

But the prosperity here is slightly less than that. Luoyang, Xijing, was the capital of the Song Dynasty. It had a complete set of inner courtyards of the palace and many maids. This surprised Zhao Zhen. He didn't expect that the idle place would be like this.

Routine maintenance for multiple people.

What makes Zhao Zhen even more amazed is the prosperity of Luoyang's gardens! As Su Shi said, the gardens are the best in the world and cannot be compared with other cities.

Luoyang is located on the Yangtze River of the Luo River and in the hinterland of the Central Plains. It has superior congenital conditions in terms of water, soil and climate, which are conducive to the development of gardens. Many important officials have settled in Luoyang. They are accustomed to the legacy of Han and Tang Dynasty clothing and customs, and manage their affairs at home.

The garden was built with terraces and pavilions, and vegetation was planted, thinking it would be a good place to visit and enjoy during the year.

The purity of the spring is shared by the people of Lu Yan and their princes.

The palace covers an area of ​​one acre, with views of green mountains above and flowing water below. Strange flowers and bamboos line the left and right sides, and its noble ministers, huge rooms, and magnificent gardens and pavilions are truly the best in the world.

The geographical location is even more important. The reason why it can be used as a companion capital is inseparable from its superior geographical conditions. It borders Beimang to the north, Songyue Mountain to the south, Hulao on the left, and Han Valley on the right. Since ancient times, there have only been three roads to enter the Yiluo Basin.

road.

Hangu Pass between Luliang Mountain and Woniushan Mountain in the west, Hulao Pass on Gongyi Road between Mangshan Mountain and Songshan Mountain in the east, and Yiquelongmen between Woniushan Mountain and Songshan Mountain in the south. Although there are no checkpoints here, it is a one-man pass.

As the terrain was inaccessible to anyone, the Song Dynasty, which was good at defense, specially set up a three-chamber forbidden army to command here. If it encountered an enemy situation, it could attack from both sides with a three-pronged attack.

When Zhao Zhen's guard of honor arrived at Luoyang City, the middle gate was opened wide, and the people lined the streets to welcome the official who had just succeeded to the throne. They who were far away in Xijing had long heard of Zhao Zhen's reputation for benevolence and filial piety, and now they could see it

Of course Tianyan is flocking to her.

There were many old men in Yanju clothing among the crowd. These people were either Confucian masters or officials who had reached official positions. Most of them were family members of officials. Many people who were officials in Kaifeng would place their family members in a more environmentally friendly place.

Good Luoyang City.

Zhao Zhen ordered Sancai to lift up the curtain of the car, and the car instantly turned into a pavilion. Zhao Zhen sat in it and kept waving to the people around him. This kind of people-friendly move was very inappropriate in Wang Zeng's eyes. A king must have the majesty and dignity of a king.

How could it be so mysterious?

But Zhao Zhen's actions left a very friendly impression on the people around him.

How many emperors have been so close to the people since ancient times? There are very few. Even when they leave the palace, they sit high on the dragon's platform without squinting, looking like they are the only ones. What Zhao Zhen did clearly subverted the people's expectations.

Cognition has also won the hearts and minds of Luoyang people.

Only when Zhao Zhen entered the main road of Luoyang City did he realize that the ancient trees here were towering and surrounded by fragrant flowers. Even Zhao Zhen, who was accustomed to the gardening and medical skills of later generations, found this beautiful scenery amazing. Moreover, it was still on the main road. No wonder Taizu wanted to move the capital to Luoyang. Not only did this place

The terrain is difficult and the scenery is picturesque.

The officials in Luoyang City followed Zhao Zhen's car and kept explaining the scene in the city. Zhao Zhen's easy-going attitude made them feel like a spring breeze, and they seemed to feel lighter.

The imperial palace in Luoyang City completely retains the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty, with high walls, long steps, and towering gates. Everywhere reveals the majesty of the Tang Dynasty. The Hanyuan Hall of the Zhou Wu period has been completely preserved.

The pillars in the main hall are more than four meters in diameter, which is simply breathtaking.

Zhao Zhen walked on the floor tiles and felt the majestic palace. His heart was filled with turmoil. How much manpower and material resources were needed to complete such a palace? Slowly sitting down at the top of Hanyuan Hall, Zhao Zhen instantly felt that he could see everything at a glance.

Shan Xiao, this feeling of supremacy made him a little excited. He could now fully understand Taizu's plan to move the capital.

This is where the Lord of the World should stay!

The ministers looked at the official on the high throne and didn't know what to say for a while, but an old chamberlain found that the official's expression at this time was very similar to that of Taizu. His eyes were full of the heroic and temperament of seeing the world.

It carries the majesty of the true dragon above the nine heavens.

The old chamberlain rubbed his eyes. Yes, he would never forget this unique feeling of being like the sun!

With the support of Sancai, Zhao Zhen got down from the throne and asked, "Where is Du Qi, the great scholar of Longtuge and the right admonishing doctor?"

A middle-aged man walked out of the ranks of civil servants and bowed and said, "I'm here!"

"Don't be so nervous and speak from a straight face."

"Thank you, official!" Du Qi slowly straightened the joystick, and Zhao Zhen looked at it carefully and nodded with satisfaction. This man is good-looking, with a Chinese character face, a broad forehead, and an upright face. As the saying goes, love comes from the heart.

so.

"You have known about Henan Prefecture for three years, and it's time for surveying, right?"

"yes!"

"Well, in that case, you can study for another three years!" After Zhao Zhen said this, he waved his hands and walked down, leaving the stunned officials in the hall.

Du Qi was even more horrified. He had been polite and courteous just now, and the official had a satisfied expression on his face. Why was he suddenly asked to study for another three years?!

Wang Zeng followed Zhao Zhen first and asked before he entered the back hall: "Why did the officials have to dig and grind Duqi for three years? He had great achievements in the Henan government, and he encouraged more mulberry farming and built water conservancy. Last year in Henan

The grain of the government ranks first among the two taxes in the Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Zhen turned to Wang Zeng and asked: "Du Qi is already a bachelor of Longtuge and a doctor of Youjianyi. His current assignment is to be the governor of Henan Prefecture. What official position would he be in the previous step?"

Wang Zeng thought for a while and replied: "You should be appointed as a counselor for political affairs!"

Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Xianggong Wang is right. Further up, there is the Zhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhi who participates in the discussion of government affairs, but his behavior does not meet the requirements of Zhizhizhizhi. The Henan government has plenty of grain, and the official warehouses and Changping warehouses are piled up.

Fully, this reflects Du Qi’s talents, but such talents are only suitable for a place in Henan Prefecture, but are not suitable for entering the court as a political advisor! Isn’t it clear to Mr. Wang why?”

Wang Zeng was questioned by Zhao Zhen inexplicably. It was not until Zhao Zhen entered the back hall that he vaguely remembered the memorials two days ago. Then he slapped his forehead and suddenly realized that the officials were blaming Du Qi for not transporting grain to Dengzhou and Ruzhou.

Solve urgent needs.

But this is not within Du Qi's scope! The official's move is too harsh, but it is also a way to polish good jade. As long as Du Qi can figure this out, he should be able to enter the two mansions after three years.

Wang Zeng, who shook his head and smiled bitterly, was stopped by officials outside, "Ms. Wang, what are the officials dissatisfied with about my Henan Mansion? Why do you want Du Long Tu to continue surveying?"

Seeing that Du Qi was also in the crowd, Wang Zeng smiled bitterly and said: "Du Qi, come over here. I can only tell you the secret. Everyone else should leave. You only need to know that this is the government cultivating Du Qi."

Okay, don’t talk about anything else."

The crowd gradually dispersed, and Wang Zeng led Du Qi to the duty room, "Du Qi, you know that everyone has seen the achievements of Henan Prefecture during this period, so they have doubts about the official survey.

, but have you ever thought about why the officials want to test you?"

Du Qi had been thinking about this issue since Zhao Zhen announced his investigation, but he really didn't think clearly about what he didn't do well.

"Please Mr. Wang clarify your doubts!"

Wang Zeng said with a smile: "What others tell you belongs to others. You have to figure it out yourself. The officials ask you to investigate not because of problems under your rule, but because of problems in higher and further places. Never underestimate the officials."

You should think carefully about the purpose of family in these three years!"

Du Qi walked out with Wang Zeng's simple reminder, repeating that simple reminder all the way, "A higher and further place?"

Zhao Zhen stood on the high palace gate and looked at Du Qi with a smile: "The management level is high, but the overall situation is not strong enough. I hope you can figure it out in the past three years and don't let me down again... Eweila listen
Chapter completed!
