The Baima Cang incident broke out secretly, causing constant turmoil in the officialdom of the Sui Dynasty.

Investigations into grain storage starting from Luokou Cang, Jiangyang Cang, Zhuojun Cang, Jinyang Cang, and Guangtong Cang have successively caused great turmoil in the world. Those who have problems are naturally frightened, but those who have no problems can deal with it safely.

In short, all these show the various aspects of officialdom, but the situation of warehouse officials is much better than expected. There are not many problems in the major official warehouses investigated starting from these five warehouses. This may be due to the previous

The mass killings over the past few years have dispelled a group of people's hope of luck. Of course, it may also be that some people commit crimes in more secretive ways and cannot find out the problem for the time being.

Don't say silly things like "the emperor was born in a prosperous age" and officials governed the Qingming Dynasty. After all, history is written by people, and "it is a bastard not to take advantage of it" is one of human nature. No matter any dynasty, it is impossible to be like "corrupt officials"

Words such as "corrupt officials" and "corruption" are completely insulated. The so-called "clear administration of officials" is nothing more than fewer corrupt officials and a smaller amount of corruption.

The reason why "Kaihuang Shengshi" has been famous throughout the ages is because upright and honest officials occupy the mainstream of the officialdom, and they span the world, adding too many points to their military achievements. Another reason is to set off a kind of "tiger father and dog son"

"Historical atmosphere.

Look!

Yang Jian was so powerful and left so much wealth for future generations, but he was defeated by Yang Guang, a prodigal son, and his country was ruined and his family was destroyed.

This certainly makes sense.

But conversely, the conflicts that had accumulated during the Yang Jian period finally erupted like a volcanic eruption during the Yang Guang period.

Are there many historical events like this?

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the most powerful emperor in the world, was a rich man of three generations. He used the accumulation of literature and scenery to make the Han Dynasty rich and impoverished, leaving a mess for future generations. This was also because the Han Dynasty had accumulated generations of accumulation, and the people's aspirations throughout the country, coupled with the

Later generations were more successful and helped the Han Dynasty overcome the difficulties. It was just because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was so brilliant that people automatically ignored some events and the contributions of his descendants.

Similarly, Yang Guang is also a rich second generation, but he does not have a good son, but now he has a good grandson, and this guy seems to be more dazzling than him.

Externally, he achieved a series of brilliant victories. Not only did he end the humiliation of the 'Siege of Yanmen' and the 'Four Conquests of Goguryeo', but he also regained all the land lost by his ancestors and killed the heads of the surrounding enemies to become vassals. Internally,

Through the war, policies that could not be promoted before were easily implemented, and many policies that benefited the country and the people were derived.

However, corruption finally stumped Yang Tong. There was nothing he could do about it. The only thing he could do was to intensify the crackdown. Fortunately, the methods of committing crimes in this era were primitive and simple. If he really wanted to investigate, it would not be possible.

Difficult. The key still depends on whether the emperor and the central officials are of the same mind. If the central officials in the capital can work together as one, they will be able to catch everything accurately. Yang Tong felt very lucky, because he had such a group of people under his command. If he and Yang

Guang Guang's status change, Da Sui may be defeated faster, because he knows very well that he is not political material at all. If he lived in such a complicated era, he would probably spend every day being deceived.

The current anti-'hamster' case has also become complicated due to the Shandong nobles' taking advantage of the situation, but it is not too difficult. Just because they have identified the target and investigated it, the imperial court finally took the initiative.

At the same time, a series of problems after the floods receded also made the court begin to worry.

Due to the raging floods, part of the river channel was blocked.

After the flood, everything was in ruins, and the people were in the process of rescuing themselves. It was unrealistic to immediately recruit laborers to dredge the river. Even if it was dredged immediately, it would definitely take a few months for the river to become unblocked again.

However, in winter, part of the river would freeze, and the court had to clear the river before then so that the autumn grain could be transported to Luoyang, Daxing, the city with the largest population.

If it is delayed, it will cause insufficient grain reserves. From a safety perspective, this is a huge hidden danger. From an economic perspective, this will keep prices high and create an unstable situation.

Although Yang Tong was devastated by Hamster's abominable behavior of colluding with the nobles to steal food, and he would never let it go due to his tough-minded character, he also knew that the matter had priorities.

In order to solve the current predicament, Yang Tong simply delegated the warehousing matters to the three major judicial departments. The other departments focused their energy on the water transportation issue. Of course, this should be the case in itself. Only by performing their respective duties can a court be rational and orderly.

, in an orderly manner; but this slowdown by the court was also felt by some people who had a keen sense of smell and were always paying attention to the direction of the court.

…

Luowenfang is located on the north bank of Luoshui River, in the southeast corner of Luoyang North City. Going north past Jidefang is the Shangchun Gate of the North City, and to the south is the Water Gate by the Luoshui River. At this moment, there are countless craftsmen and slaves in front of the Water Gate dividing Luoshui and cleaning it.

The sand on the north bank is to be dredged to the bottom, and then the water gate and this section of the city wall that were washed away by the flood will be repaired from the stone bottom.

On the Luowen Fang side of the river, there is the courtyard where Lu Yu lives. Beyond the courtyard wall is a square wall. Both walls have collapsed. The courtyard wall was built by the family, while the square wall was built by the people who built the Eastern Capital.

It was repaired at that time, but due to the need to rush the progress at that time, it left safety hazards. In addition, it was in disrepair for many years. After being soaked by the rain for nearly a month, it suddenly collapsed. Now there is no time to build it. So Lu Yu sat in the yard

Inside, you can see the slightly turbid water of Luohe River.

His family was quite unlucky. Both of the rammed earth walls fell to the north, and all the earth ran into Lu Yu's home. Then it was hit by heavy rain. The courtyard and hall were all muddy, and the whole house was covered with mud.

There is a thick layer of silt. It will take more than a few days to clean the manor as before.

Lu Yu was sitting on a leisure chair under a big tree. There was a stone table next to him, with several books neatly placed on it. The area where he was sitting had been cleaned up, the ground was washed clean, and there were several tenacious plants.

The grass is slowly regaining its vitality. The trunk of a laurel tree next to it still has traces of mud.

His grandson Lu Zhaochun stood beside him, wearing a Confucian shirt, showing his gentle and elegant demeanor. Lu Zhaochun stared at the Qianyang Palace in the northwest with the blue sky as the background, and said softly: "There is a rumor in the streets and alleys: It is said that Luoyang is flooded this year.

Danger is easy to resolve, but ten thousand years of worries are difficult to eliminate. Luoyang floods occur every ten years, and the power of heaven and earth cannot be resisted. Neither the center of the world nor the emperor of a country should stand in a place of worry."

Lu Yu frowned and asked, "What does this mean?"

Lu Zhaochun said: "It may be that the imperial court was affected by the flood and wanted to return the capital to Daxing City. It deliberately spread the rumors to understand the voices of the people. It is also possible that some forces took the opportunity to test the imperial court's reaction."

"Which one do you think is more likely?" Lu Yu put down the "Half Moon Talk" in his hand and asked with interest.

"I think the latter is more likely."

"Why?"

"In terms of the emperor's control over the world and the court, he can place the capital wherever he wants. There is no objection at all. Even if there are voices of injustice, it will not matter. When he was still the king of Qin, he was in Zhuo

County, and later ascended the throne in Yecheng, which was built by his court. The city was magnificent and the palaces were magnificent. At that time, people thought it was the capital of the Sui Dynasty, but he moved when he asked... He wants to move to Daxing now

If it were to become a city, there would be no need to worry about the wishes of the subjects at all, and at most it would publish an article in Ban Yue Tan, so the second option is more likely."

"It makes sense!" Lu Yu nodded and said: "During Emperor Wen's time, there was already a plan to move the capital, but due to the constraints of the Guanlong nobles, the capital could not be moved. Daxing City was the result of a compromise between Emperor Wen and the Guanlong nobles. Why?

It was repaired so quickly? It was because the nobles of Guanlong were worried that it would take too long, giving Emperor Wen a reason to move the capital. After the big city was repaired, there were many reasons to restrain Emperor Wen. For example, the city was very good, and another large-scale construction project would waste people and money.

Emperor Wu's move to Luoyang was also strongly opposed, especially by the Guanlong noble group. After all, it was related to their vital interests. You don't need to think about it to know their attitude. However, the rebellion of Han King Yang Liang gave him an excellent excuse. First, the old land of Northern Qi

The situation was unstable and the great prosperity was beyond the reach of the whip; the second was the lightning-fast battle to quell the chaos, which shocked the Guanlong nobles who had made their fortunes in the military; the third was that there were countless descendants of the Guanlong nobles serving under Yang Liang, such as the Doulu family and the Zhao family.

, he was one of the masterminds. Emperor Wu had some information about the Long nobles, but he did not mention it, and finally made the Guan Long nobles agree to move the capital. Afterwards, Emperor Wu did not pursue the responsibility; the fourth reason was that the Shandong nobles and the southern nobles were speaking out.

Support. Therefore, the capital was finally moved to Luoyang. In short, Emperor Wu was able to move the capital to Luoyang because he won all aspects of the contest with the Guanlong nobles. And Yang Tong, except for the assets he brought from Luoyang, did not borrow any power.

He conquered this world single-handedly, and there is no need to bow to any force."

Lu Zhaochun said: "So it seems that the remnants of the Guanlong nobles are influencing public opinion."

Lu Yu glanced at him and said, "Why, do you think the 'Guanlong Nobles' will succeed?"

Lu Zhaochun shook his head repeatedly: "That's not true. I just think that it was necessary to influence the decision of two generations of emperors, and it was such a major matter of moving the capital. Guan Longgui's power back then was really terrifying. What I am more worried about now is that the flood threatens the safety of the imperial capital.

The emperor may not obey public sentiment and move the capital, which is not a good thing for our revival plan."

"A major event like moving the capital is not as simple as you think." Lu Yu said leisurely: "Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the present, the location of the capitals of various dynasties has been traceable. Pan Geng moved to Yin because the land of Yin was rich and easy.

To raise food, the other was to weaken the aristocracy of the old capital by moving the capital, and the third was to stay away from foreign territories and stabilize the rule of the Shang Dynasty. King Zhou Ping moved the capital to Luoyi because the Quanyang Rebellion left Haoyang in ruins.

Only by moving the capital can the central government be safe. When Emperor Wei Xiaowen moved the capital, firstly, he moved the capital away from the north, where the threat was greatest; secondly, Luoyang had prosperous agriculture and convenient water transportation; and thirdly, he wanted to get rid of the intricate power network of the Xianbei nobles, so as to facilitate smooth reform."

"Learning from the past and the present, you will find that any emperor who moves the capital cannot avoid four major points: the first is terrain, the second is finance, the third is military, and the fourth is politics. In terms of topography, although droughts occur in Guanzhong from time to time, they can be compared.

Generally speaking, floods are more harmful to the capital. If this flood floods the city of Luoyang, you can imagine the consequences. Although this has the advantage of water transportation, in terms of the advantage of the terrain, it can only be done reluctantly and there are wide canals.

As a result, Daxing City, which is the source of food in the Hetao, is evenly matched. If you include the Silk Road, Luoyang has almost no advantage."

"Speaking of finance, from the Warring States Period to the present, Shandong and Guanzhong have been the most developed places for scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. There is no way of knowing what will happen in the future, but for now, these two places are the only ones suitable to be the capital. In terms of military security, the Sui Dynasty is now at its peak.

In terms of military strength and the spirit of dominating the weather, there is almost no difference between establishing a capital in Daxing or Luoyang. Then the main determining factor is politics."

"Previous emperors had to consider the interests of all parties when moving the capital, but this emperor does not need to, so we can change the focus of politics to people's livelihood. Most of the five major states of Qing, Xu, Yu, Jing, and Yang were recovered last year.

One is that everything is in ruins, and the other is that the people in these places are not very attached to the Sui Dynasty. If the officials appointed are not virtuous and talented, there is a great possibility of rebellion again. The center of the imperial court is in Luoyang, the center of the world.

It can not only deter local bandits, but also supervise the administration of officials from these five states. If the capital is moved to Guanzhong, how can we see the governance situation in the south if the mountains are high and the emperor is far away? Moreover, there are no internal worries in the northwest with Guanzhong as the center, and no external threats.

, and with the emergence of holy military vehicles, Luoyang and Daxing are closely connected. Even if there are some minor problems, the army can solve them in just one or two days. Therefore, from the point of view of people's livelihood, the possibility of moving the capital is almost non-existent.

, As for the disaster caused by floods, the worst thing is to build a few diversion canals in the upper reaches of Luoshui River and Yishui River. Anyway, he has many civilians who don't need to spend money."

Having said this, Lu Yu picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip, and then said: "If the voice of moving the capital arises naturally, that's all. If it is the remnants of the Guanlong nobles who are acting as a monster, given the emperor's hostility towards the Guanlong nobles

, hatred, the only ones who will be unlucky are themselves.”

Lu Zhaochun said sincerely: "The head of the family's words made my grandson enlightened. From this point of view, the emperor really has no reason to move the capital."

Speaking of this, Lu Zhaochun couldn't help but said: "Master, should we add fire to the remnants of the Guanlong nobles and use the power of the imperial court to completely annihilate them."

Lu Yu squinted his eyes and looked at the white clouds in the blue sky. After thinking for a long time, he shook his head and sighed: "This is a God-given opportunity, but it's a pity that we have too much time to take care of it. If we add fuel to the flames at this time, we might even get burned, so we can't cause trouble."

The Sui Dynasty established its capital in Guanzhong since the founding of the country, so the forces that the seven major noble clans worked hard to manage were also concentrated in Guanzhong. After Yang Guang moved the capital to Luoyang, Daxing became the capital of the Sui Dynasty, and its political and economic strength and influence were never inferior to Luoyang.

However, in the thirteen years since the seventh year of the Great Cause, the world has been in a state of constant killing and purge. It is difficult for even the princes to keep an eye on them, let alone those who are on the wrong side. In this war that has affected all sides,

, the seven noble clans at the center of the storm suffered heavy losses.

It wasn't that they didn't want to bet on Yang Tong's side before, but not only did Yang Tong not want them, he also used war to bloodbath these thieving nobles. How could the proud nobles endure this?

So they all went to Li Yuan, who was in a good situation. Just like the leader of the Li family in Longxi, they wished they could have wings. In this way, there would be even less power left outside the puppet Tang Dynasty. When Li Yuan gradually weakened

, the world is clear, and they want to go back and kneel down, Yang Tong is still like that, arresting one by one, and following the clues to pull out a long list of crimes to settle. Not only can they not develop power, but they have defeated many people and hidden forces.

This is also the place where the seven noble clans are most annoyed and distressed.

Due to helplessness, they used their previous relationships to blackmail and support some minor officials from their sect.

However, in order to support a spokesman who can play a role in the officialdom, the investment period is at least ten years, so the foundation of the seven noble families in the Sui Dynasty is pitiful.
