"I know it's difficult to start a business, but the affairs of the capital are particularly important—"
The capital of the Southern Dynasty was Jiankang, and the capital of the Northern Dynasty was Pingcheng.
One in the south and one in the north, both are options for the capital.
However, this time, Gu Qingcheng achieved unification from south to north, and the Southern Dynasty was the victorious side.
Since ancient times, the victorious side has had absolute autonomy and strength.
The court officials of the Southern Dynasty would instinctively believe that the capital of the unified new dynasty should be in Jiankang.
Going to Pingcheng?
What a joke. Doesn't this mean that the Northern Dynasty is the victor?
Although the court officials who surrendered from the Northern Dynasty lacked confidence, many of them were from old and established families in the north.
If you count carefully, two or three hundred years ago, they had the same roots as many famous families in Jiangzuo of the Southern Dynasties.
They all have the same ancestor.
It's the same lineage.
In fact, they are more resolute than those aristocratic families who fled to the Southern Dynasty.
They didn't escape!
They defended their ancestral land!
Moreover, in this battle, these aristocratic families also secretly helped the Southern Dynasty a lot.
If they had not secretly informed the enemy or helped to raise and mobilize food and money, Wang Qi's army would not have been able to advance thousands of miles!
We are all meritorious officials, why should they have to swallow their anger in the court?!
The two groups quarreled with each other, and when the mood got right, they would start fighting.
The court is far less grand than people imagine. Sometimes, when it gets noisy, it is no different from a vegetable market.
And those high-ranking, noble and honorable court officials would not only spit at each other, but also roll up their sleeves and hit others.
A grand court meeting can often turn into chaos and confusion!
Gu Qingcheng watched coldly.
After three months of watching, when the court officials were tired of arguing and fighting, Gu Qingcheng finally spoke out her decision:
"Make Chang'an the capital!"
Neither Jiankang nor Pingcheng is the best choice.
The territory of the Celestial Empire was so vast that in ancient times when transportation and communications were not well developed, the location of the capital was extremely important.
The Celestial Empire has no territory to the south, let alone enemies.
To the north, however, there are vast grasslands and lands, and endless nomadic peoples.
The location of the capital city is slightly north of the center.
Furthermore, Gu Qingcheng also believes in "the strict selection of ancestors."
The fact that Chang'an could become a thousand-year-old capital was definitely the result of careful consideration by emperors of successive dynasties and ancestors of successive generations.
In her previous life, Gu Qingcheng also considered with Yuwen Heng for several years and finally chose Chang'an.
The correct answer is right there, why not use it?
As soon as Gu Qingcheng finished speaking, the quarrel in the court broke out again.
"Although Chang'an is beautiful and has an abandoned palace, the city has long been abandoned!"
"Moving the capital to Chang'an requires rebuilding the imperial palace, which will require massive construction and a large number of troops..."
"...Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
If it were just this kind of discussion of "sticking to the facts", it would be considered a normal court meeting.
But there are some people who have bubbles in their brains.
As the conversation progressed, the topic of gender came up.
The hidden meaning in the words was reflected in Gu Qingcheng: She is a woman after all, and her thoughts are not thorough enough!
As soon as this person finished speaking, the hall, which was as noisy as a vegetable market hall a second ago, became silent the next second.
Everyone, especially the courtiers of the Southern Dynasty, looked at the official who was suspected to be from a noble family of the Northern Dynasty as if he was a warrior (retarded).
"Damn it, are you trying to kill yourself?"
"Maybe he has never seen the world!"
"It's over, it's over, that lunatic is going to--"
Before the courtiers of the Southern Dynasty could finish their complaints, a huge knife flew in front of the minister who was still chattering and unaware of the impending danger.
The blade grazed the tip of his nose and pierced vertically into the floor half an inch in front of his toes.
Swish!
The blade was so sharp that even though it didn't cut my nose, it still scratched it.
Blood dripped down.
The minister was so frightened that he dared not move. His body was stiff and he fell straight down.
"Who else?"
Wang Qi folded his arms across his chest and stood out from the queue.
He walked slowly up to the man, raised his hand, and pulled out the knife.
After brushing off the remaining blood from the blade, Wang Qi looked at the whole audience with pride, "Your Majesty's proposal, who agrees? Who opposes?"
The whole audience was silent.
As Wang Qi's gaze passed over them one by one, the court officials first nodded vigorously, and then shook their heads vigorously.
They agree!
They don't object!
Woohoo, Your Majesty, don’t even think about moving the capital to Chang’an. Even if you move it to the grassland, they have no objection!
Your Majesty, please take your mad dog away as soon as possible. It’s just a matter of moving the capital, you have the final say!
Wang Qi used his absolute strength and terrifying madness to attract all the firepower.
With him taking the initiative to take the blame, Gu Qingcheng is a wise, tolerant and communicative emperor.
In addition to Wang Qi, there were also Jiang Chi and other ministers.
They are all loyal and capable.
Gu Qingcheng doesn't need to do everything herself to get the best results.
With the assistance of these people, Gu Qingcheng began to realize his plan step by step.
He moved the capital, implemented the imperial examination system, selected and appointed female attendants, and allowed women to take the imperial examinations.
Build the Grand Canal and continue developing Lingnan.
He launched an expedition to Goryeo, opened up shipping routes, and encouraged the development of maritime foreign trade.
…
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Someone else is trying to imitate someone else again!"
After finishing her government affairs, Gu Qingcheng returned to her own bedroom. Just as she was about to have a good chat about life with a young hunk, the evil water in her sea of consciousness began to stir.
