What does she want to do?

Han Yi immediately burst into a cold sweat!

In fact, Wu Meiniang’s meaning is not difficult to understand, she just hopes to move the capital!

Good, this is a life-threatening person!

But then again, Wu Meiniang's analysis was very correct. The current situation is that Li Zhi and Li Ji holds absolute power, but they are all very afraid of Changsun Wuji. To be more precise, they are afraid of the Guanlong Group, because there are many Guanzhong nobles in the court and the army, even soldiers are disciples of Guanzhong. Since Yuwen Tai established the Western Wei Dynasty, the Guanlong Group has been entrenched in Guanzhong. In this area where the Hu-Han hybrids are well-known, the emphasis is on becoming generals and prime ministers, and farming is developed. This is why many great strategists say that those who win Guanzhong will win the world. Li Yuan also took over the Guanzhong area first to win the world. This is by no means empty talk.

Changsun Wuji represents the Guanlong Group. What consequences will be if he takes action? The Guanzhong generals, Guanzhong disciples, and Guanzhong nobles in the court, Li Ji couldn't tell whether these people would lean against that moment.

Those who have Guanzhong will win the world, and then if Guanzhong is in chaos, the world will be in chaos.

Li Zhi was already the emperor, possessing great power and a vested interest, and everything was beneficial to him. He did not have to take this risk unless he had to.

When Emperor Yang of Sui went to Jiangnan, he refused to come back, and eventually died in Jiangnan. It was not that Jiangnan was so prosperous, but now Jiangnan is not as good as Guanzhong area. It was because Emperor Yang of Sui did not want to be restrained by Guanlong Group. I went to Jiangnan to establish the capital and let your Guanlong Group play by themselves, weakening the control of the Guanlong Group over the Sui Dynasty. Unfortunately, Emperor Yang of Sui was secretly secreted. He forgot that the soldiers he brought were all disciples of Guanzhong. If you don’t want to go back to Guanzhong, they want to go home. Isn’t Yuwen and the Yuwen family you are in a typical Guanzhong noble?

In the end, the Guanlong Group overthrew the Sui Dynasty. The Li family and the Yang family were actually important members of the Guanlong Group and were related. Yang Guang was also Li Shimin's uncle. Li Yuan and Li Shimin learned their lessons and must not leave Guanzhong. Therefore, Li Shimin blindly followed the Guanzhong aristocrats and suppressed the Shandong Group. Before his death, he also chose Changsun Wuji, the leader of the Guanlong Group.

But the problem is that Wu Meiniang is not from this group, which is rare. In this game, Wu Meiniang learned from her mistakes. Why is such a good opportunity even Li Ji so afraid? After thinking about it, there is only one reason. The center of Chang'an is that the Guanlong Group is entrenched in Guanzhong area.

As long as you follow the Guanzhong-based policy, even if Changsun Wuji is alone, you will not dare to touch him easily.

Then the only way is to move the capital.

But at any time, moving the capital is not a trivial matter. What surprised Han Yi the most was that this was actually from a woman's mouth.

It can be seen that it is no accident that Wu Meiniang can become the only female emperor in Chinese history. She has unparalleled strength, courage, and a longer-term strategic vision.

When she had just returned from Ganye Temple, she had already set her sights on the position of the queen. If she was an ordinary woman, she would definitely be able to live a stable life, Amitabha Buddha, but she would not be satisfied.

Since this is a solution to the problem, why not make plans?

"Queen, this - this is not a joke." Although the palace maids were far away from them, Han Yi couldn't help but lower his voice.

Wu Meiniang said, "But there is no way to do this. The Grand Marshal has always been showing kindness to His Majesty, but has never expressed anything to me. It can be seen that he never agrees with me. Once he is given a chance, he will definitely deal with me. We cannot sit still and wait for death."

She and Changsun Wuji are incompatible and it is impossible to ease because it was Wu Meiniang's leader who drove Chu Suiliang, Liu Shi, Pei Xingjian and others out of Chang'an. Moreover, she forced Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao to death. If Changsun Wuji showed goodwill to Wu Meiniang, the internal personnel of Guanlong Group would definitely not agree. Wu Meiniang is a woman with a sense of crisis. She knew that she was not facing Changsun Wuji alone, but the entire Guanlong Group. If you are in Guanzhong, how can you compete with Guanlong Group? Therefore, she has to leave first so that everyone can show up fairly.

But Han Yi didn't want to leave. He wanted to take over the Guanlong Group, so Chang'an had a more advantage to him. If he went to Luoyang, Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong and Shandong Group would have more advantages, saying: "As the capital of the Han and Tang dynasties, Chang'an's civilization and culture represented the Central Plains. This was formed over time. It was not possible for anyone to leave to change its value. When Emperor Yang of Sui went far away to the south of the Yangtze River, the entire Central Plains was out of control."

Wu Meiniang said, "So I learned from Emperor Yang of Sui and hoped to transfer the center of my Tang Dynasty from the Guanzhong region in a subtle way. My Tang Dynasty implemented the two capital system, and the eastern capital Luoyang was not within the sphere of influence. If the center of the country can be slowly transferred to the Dongdu, it will greatly weaken the power of the Guanzhong nobles. In addition, the eastern capital is very close to Chang'an, not as far as Jiangnan is from Chang'an. Even if Your Majesty is in the Dongdu, he can still control the situation in Chang'an."

Han Yi frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "This is OK, but is Your Majesty willing?"

Wu Meiniang said: "Transferring the focus to Dongdu is also beneficial to Your Majesty. After this incident, everyone can see that the nobles of Guanzhong have married each other and built a mixed network of power. Even if Your Majesty is already in power, they still have to be constrained by them. Luoyang is the center of our Tang Dynasty and is closer to Shandong. If you go to Luoyang, you can better balance the forces on both sides. Only then can your Majesty be fully in power and you don't need to look at anyone's face."

In the past, Li Tang attacked Shandong gentry and supported Guanzhong nobles. Now Wu Meiniang planned to go against the trend, support Shandong poor families, and attack Guanzhong nobles. Geographically, Luoyang is really the center of the Central Plains and is relatively close to Shandong. So, the geopolitics of the two places can be used to slowly weaken Guanzhong nobles.

Wu Meiniang said again: "And this is also beneficial to you. Although you have taken the position of a minister of the sir, the third and fourth rank officials are still controlled by the Taiwei. The Minister of Personnel, the Minister of Revenue, and the Minister of Justice are all Taiwei. Only by avoiding them first can you have more opportunities."

Han Yi understood that the relationship in the court is too complicated now, and it is too complicated to cut it off and it is still chaotic. Li Zhi dared not act rashly. If he moved to Luoyang, he could avoid this complex officialdom, but he could also control the capital remotely. In fact, since ancient times, those in power have often wanted to create absent. If Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang were in Dongdu, it would be equivalent to liberating him. Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu and others, now they are the ministers. No matter what they did here, Wu Meiniang can refuse to admit it. This is not clear. After counting it, transferring Dongdu is really beneficial to Wu Meiniang's group, and said, "I don't know what I can do for the queen?"

This is a very sensitive plan and it is about to spread. I don’t know how much turmoil will cause, but Wu Meiniang told Han Yi that she must have Han Yi’s help, otherwise she wouldn’t tell anyone.

Wu Meiniang said: "That alone is not enough. Even if I can convince Your Majesty, I cannot convince the civil and military officials of the court and the people of the world. However, people are moving to prosperous areas. If the east capital is prosperous, with a larger population and more developed farming, then it will naturally move to the east capital."

Han Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "The Queen asked me to use business to make Luoyang more prosperous?"

"clever!"

Wu Meiniang nodded with a smile and said, "I once heard from my father that the reason why Chang'an has been chosen in all dynasties is because Chang'an is surrounded by mountains, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and has a very good geographical location. If you set your capital in Chang'an, you don't need too many troops to garrison. However, Luoyang's transportation is more convenient, whether it is land or water, it is more convenient to do business. Moreover, there is a plain area east of Luoyang. If the center turns to the eastern capital, you will definitely rely more on the Shandong region."

Han Yi said: "The disadvantage of Luoyang is that it has no danger to defend, so it requires a huge army to be stationed. However, now our Tang Dynasty swept across the world and surrendered to all directions. The only potential threat is the Tubo in the west. It can be said that there are no external troubles, so internal affairs have become more important. In the case of internal affairs, it is nothing more than the livelihood of the people. In this way, Luoyang's disadvantages are no longer obvious, but its advantages are highlighted. In the future, the shift of the country's center to Luoyang is actually the general trend."

"Not bad!" Wu Meiniang said confidently: "Sima Qian once said that the world is bustling, all comes for profit; the world is bustling, all comes for profit. Everyone follows that bite of food. Therefore, I firmly believe that as long as Luoyang is more prosperous than Chang'an, even if the current two-capital system is maintained, Luoyang can still become the center. But I need your help. It is also your recruitment of tenant farmers that gave me great confidence."

Han Yi looked at Wu Meiniang in a little surprised.

Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "Once the farmer leaves the land, he must follow the workshop. The workshop is in Chang'an, they are in Chang'an, and the workshop is in Luoyang, and they have to go to Luoyang. You have to decide where the workshop is. Therefore, I hope you can go to Luoyang to build a large workshop, including your North Lane, and many colleges in Luoyang to try to attract more people to Luoyang. In addition, Luoyang is the center of the Central Plains, and there is no place more suitable for trading than Luoyang. Doesn't this coincide with your idea?"

Han Yi nodded and said, "I know what to do."

But I cursed in my heart, it’s so amazing!

A moment ago, he was complacent about manipulating the overall situation, but his plan was really a slim compared to Wu Meiniang. Once Wu Meiniang's plan was successful, it would really reshuffle the entire country. The most prominent point is that once it is transferred to Luoyang, the Guanzhong's basic policy will be completed, which is a fatal blow to the Guanlong Group. Luoyang is still close to Shandong and is the only way to the Grand Canal. It is equivalent to being connected with Jiangnan and Huainan. In terms of geopolitics, everyone is equal, and centralized people do not need to be afraid of being the only one in power. They can use all forces to achieve true balance.

It can be seen from this that Wu Meiniang is not in regret, but is already paving the way for future political struggles.

At this moment, Han Yi also felt the charm of Wu Meiniang, and this woman was a natural leader.
