Datang: Dad, I really didn't want to rebel!

Chapter 193
Chapter 257
More than 1000 BC, the Western Zhou Dynasty began to establish a national capital in Luoyang in order to control the eastern region.

The Duke of Zhou built Wangcheng and Chengzhou City on the north bank of Luoshui River, known as King Cheng's "House of China" in history.

At that time, Luoyang was called Luoyi, Xinyi, Dayi, Chengzhou, Tianshi, China, etc., also known as Zhounan.

Until the time of King Ping of Zhou, it moved to Luoyi in the east and took Luoyi as the capital of the country, which was called the Eastern Capital in history.

Gradually, because Luoyi was located in the Yang of Luoshui, there was another name called Luoyang.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty also established the Eastern Han Dynasty in Luoyang and changed its name to Luoyang.

After the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor in Luoyang again, and changed Luoyang back to Luoyang again.

Later, during the Western Jin Dynasty, Northern Wei Dynasty, and during the Sui Dynasty, the capital was moved to Luoyang again.

As the imperial city of the former Sui Dynasty, it must have been very prosperous.

In particular, the Grand Canal is centered on Luoyang, and the rise of the Grand Canal has made Luoyang more prosperous.

The current Luoyang, officially called Henan Mansion, belongs to Jiangnan Road.

At present, only Luoyang can be called a prefecture in the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the only prefecture in the Tang Dynasty. This shows its status.

Of course, no matter how prosperous Luoyang is, there is still a gap between it and Chang'an. After all, Chang'an is the Tang Dynasty, and Chang'an is still the most important in terms of political tilt.

But the prosperity of Luoyang also affected the Tang Dynasty, otherwise Li Shimin would not have let Li Zhi stay in Luoyang to supervise the country.

When the news of Chang'an reached Luoyang, it instantly caused a commotion in the city.

In a wine shop in Luoyang.

Only a businessman was heard talking.

"You don't know how scary the Qianzhou candidates are this time. The top twelve in the scientific examination are all Qianzhou candidates!"

"impossible?"

Gossip is human nature, and this restaurant is basically full of businessmen, businessmen are smooth, as long as there is a topic, they can insert the topic, and then talk about it.

"How is it impossible..."

The businessman moistened his throat with tea soup, and seeing everyone's curious faces, he continued to dance and said: "The Chang'an gold list has been posted, and the candidates from Qianzhou will directly dominate the list!"

"I heard that Qianzhou is poor and broken. I couldn't even afford food before. How could I study?"

"Yes, is this news true?"

"Hey, you guys are so ignorant!"

Another businessman couldn't help but said: "I have a good friend who has had business dealings with Qianzhou businessmen. According to him, the current Qianzhou is under the management of His Royal Highness King Qian, and it has completely turned upside down from before. The change."

"Everyone there has food and lodging, I heard..."

When the businessman said this, he lowered his voice, "I heard that sweet potatoes, potatoes and movable type printing were made by His Royal Highness King Qian and presented to the court."

"Isn't it possible? Didn't His Majesty say it was His Royal Highness the King of Wei?" Someone questioned loudly.

The businessman gave him a blank look, "You are stupid, if the whole world claims that His Highness King Qian made it, what will the common people and scholars think?"

"Can't you see now that His Royal Highness King Wei sits in Chang'an and is obviously the future prince. If His Royal Highness King Qian gets too much limelight, it will be bad for His Royal Highness Wei!"

"What you said makes sense. I didn't expect that His Highness King Qian would do so many things without knowing it!"

"Not only that, I heard that Qianzhou also sells ice cream, briquettes and the like, and oh by the way, there are also perfumes, also from Qianzhou!" the businessman continued,

"These things are very popular!"

"Of course, now in the southern part of the Tang Dynasty, Guizhou merchants have become a very large group and are very famous."

"After you said that, I really want to visit Qianzhou."

"Yes, it would be even better if we could do business in Qianzhou!"

What they didn't notice was that in the corner of the restaurant, a person was quietly drinking, and listened to their gossip word by word.

"Dr. Liquor, pay the bill!"

After throwing away more than ten pennies, the man hurriedly left the wine shop.

After that, he walked directly to the bustling street, and after a while, he arrived at a very magnificent palace.

This palace is called Luoyang Palace!
In the first year of Daye, Yang Guang issued an edict to move the capital to Luoyang, and the construction of the Ziwei City of the Tokyo Imperial Palace began, and 70 soldiers were deployed to build the city wall.

However, it was completed in just [-] days, and the speed of construction was the fastest in the history of imperial palaces.

The total number of workers employed is 170 million, and more than 80 people are employed in the temple foundations and wall courtyards in the city. The geotechnical supervisor alone has 100 people on a regular basis, while carpenters, bricklayers, metalworkers, and masonry workers have another [-] people. The number of soldiers in Qin Afang Palace was exactly [-] million more, which is the highest in the history of the world.

When building Tokyo, Yu Wenkai "believed that the emperor's heart was extravagant, so Tokyo's system was extremely magnificent."

And he had ingenious ideas, so Ziwei City "was made in a very poor and luxurious way, which is incomparable to the previous cities", and became the most splendid and magnificent palace complex in the world.

In the second year of Daye, for the first time in history, all nations came to court, and it was in Ziwei City.

In the sixth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin changed the eastern capital to Luoyang Palace, and continued to use its old palace, Ziwei City, without any changes.

No reform means that the treatment of Luoyang Palace is second only to Taiji Palace, and in a sense, it also belongs to the imperial palace.

In history, when Empress Wu Zetian moved her capital to Luoyang, she just moved in with her bags. Anyway, the configuration is similar to that of Taiji Palace, which is equivalent to changing the environment.

Li Zhi does not have a palace in Luoyang, so he supervises the country here, so he can only stay in Luoyang Palace.

There were more than a dozen guards guarding outside the Zetian Gate of Luoyang Palace, but when the man appeared, the guards did not intend to stop him at all, so he walked in easily.

Passing through many corridors and palaces all the way, the man finally stepped into a palace familiarly.

Li Zhizheng was sitting inside working, and when he saw someone coming, he had a gentle smile on his face, "Chang Ye, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

Chang Ye cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I just heard the news from Chang'an outside."

"Chang'an?" Li Zhi was taken aback, "What's the news about Chang'an?"

Then he pursed his lips, "It seems that these few days are the days to release the rankings?"

"That's right, it's about the scientific examination!" Chang Ye said, "Your Highness, the twelve candidates from Qianzhou directly occupy the top twelve places in the gold list!"

"what?"

Li Zhi's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "You said the candidates from Qianzhou dominated the rankings?"

Chang Ye nodded, "Yes."

Li Zhi came back to his senses and murmured: "Qianzhou is the emperor's fiefdom..."

"Your Highness, I believe the results of this scientific expedition will soon spread throughout the Tang Dynasty. By then, Qianzhou's reputation will probably be even greater."

Li Zhi frowned, "Chang Ye, what are you talking about with this king?"

Chang Ye hesitated and said: "Your Highness, His Majesty asked you to supervise the country in Luoyang and asked King Wei to establish the country in Chang'an, which means that he already has a candidate for the crown prince in his mind. You..."

Li Zhi waved his hand to interrupt him, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Your Highness, do you really have no idea about the position of prince?" Chang Ye's voice was very low, as if he was trying to trick him.

Li Zhi took a breath, and interrupted him with horrified eyes, "Chang Ye, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Chang Ye lowered his head slightly, but his tone became firm, "His Royal Highness, King Wei is now powerful and deeply rooted. You can't win against him, so you must find a helper!"
