However, unexpectedly, it became a reality in just a few months!
A tremendous sense of pride filled his chest, and he felt the blood of the Yin clan flowing through his veins boiling over.
But at the same time, a deeper intuition about the changing power structure was also subtly stirring his mind.
With the restoration of Xijing, Zhao Muyun's strength and prestige have reached a level that even he needs to look up to.
In the future, where will he, the Prince of Jin, occupy in this new situation?
"Your Highness, Han Sima, Fan Changshi, and Zhou Zhubu are waiting outside."
The eunuch Chen Hong's cautious voice interrupted his thoughts.
Yinji took a deep breath, trying to appear calm and composed, and gently placed the report of victory on the table, saying in a deep voice, "Summon it."
Han Zhong, Fan Nan, and Zhou Hong quickly entered the hall.
Despite their efforts to maintain the deference of subjects, the barely suppressed excitement and deep thought in their expressions were still clearly visible.
"Your Highness, we offer our congratulations!"
Han Zhong bowed first, his voice louder than usual with excitement, "The restoration of Xijing is due to the blessing of the late emperor in heaven, the great fortune of Your Highness, and the heroic deeds of the Grand Commander and the soldiers on the front lines!"
"The restoration of the Great Yin Dynasty is just around the corner!"
Yinji smiled a genuine smile befitting his age and offered a helping hand.
"Please rise, gentlemen. This is indeed an unparalleled achievement, and I am deeply gratified, as are the soldiers on the front lines!"
He then shifted his focus to the victory report on the table, saying, "In his letter, the Grand Commander not only reported the victory but also mentioned two other important matters: the relocation of the capital to Xijing and the current precarious situation on both the eastern and western fronts of Hedong."
"I am young and inexperienced, and I hope you will all speak freely and discuss important matters together."
Fan Nan immediately stepped forward, speaking rapidly with the keenness and urgency characteristic of a strategist:
"Your Highness, the Grand Commander's proposal to move the capital to Xijing is truly a visionary and wise decision!"
"Although Jinyang is a fortified city and a place where the emperor rose to power, it is ultimately located in a corner of Hedong, with limited scope, and cannot bear the ambition to command the world."
"Xijing is different! It is the former capital of our dynasty, located in the center of the world, where the imperial aura is concentrated, and its mountains and rivers are the most beautiful in the Central Plains!"
"Only by issuing a proclamation to the world here can we truly demonstrate that our dynasty is the legitimate successor of the Great Yin Dynasty, and that it has an unparalleled appeal to the warlords who are still observing and hesitating!"
"This is a politically decisive move, and its significance far exceeds that of a major military victory!"
As a veteran official of the Prince of Jin's court, Zhou Hong's voice was particularly strong and resonant:
"What Chief Secretary Fan said is absolutely right! From a military point of view, once Xijing is taken down, our Hedong, Xinding Longyou, and the core area of Guannei Road will be connected into one, and the vastness of the territory will far exceed that of the past."
"Not only has the strategic depth been greatly expanded, but the resources, taxes, and manpower are also far superior to when we were trapped in Hedong!"
"Moving the capital to Xijing will place our central government in a position where all directions converge. Whether it is pacifying the Qiang and Rong tribes in the west or deterring Li Jingang in the east, we will be able to take the initiative! This is a move to establish a foundation for an everlasting dynasty!"
Yinji listened, nodding repeatedly, his eyes shining even brighter.
The advantages of moving the capital to Xijing are obvious.
