Apprentice of the Heavens

Chapter 55 Move the capital to Chang'an
Time flies, five years have passed
Daxia Palace
Li Ming is wearing a dragon robe and sitting on a dragon chair. His appearance is still the same as five years ago, but the majesty of the emperor on his body is becoming more and more serious. The officials below bow to worship

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"flat body"

Li Ming looked down at the officials below, and his eyes seemed to see through people's hearts. Since Li Ming began to ascend the throne three years ago, the separation of military and political power has been implemented.

In addition, the official system was revised, and the Overwatch Council was set up to supervise hundreds of officials and patrol the world, directly under the command of the emperor, and a cabinet was set up to help the emperor handle government affairs, but only had the right to propose, and the decision-making power was in the hands of the emperor
Measured land was nationalized, fertile land was distributed by dime to encourage childbirth, bridges and roads were repaired, large-scale construction was carried out, banks were built to circulate currency, newspapers were created to promote policies, colleges were built to spread the wisdom of the people, hospitals were built to treat diseases and save lives, and royal military academies were built to train officers
In addition, a religious department was set up to manage religious affairs. Monks and Taoists must take a registration examination to become a monk or a Taoist priest if they become monks.

Well, there are more Yi Jin Jing and 72 stunts in Shangwu Pavilion, not to mention that the golden body of Buddha is valuable, which enriches the national treasury.

A series of policies have made the national power of Daxia grow by leaps and bounds. Roads run through the whole territory of Daxia. With the promotion of potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, the people in the territory have surplus food. As long as they are not too lazy, they can eat enough and wear warm clothes.
In terms of economy, it encourages business and opens up sea trade.

The people's livelihood and economy have all made achievements, but the military has not fallen behind. The Jin Dynasty and Koryo were occupied. Among the people who built bridges and roads, there were men from Koryo. It is worry-free to eat only kimchi for every meal.

Li Ming withdrew his thoughts and looked down at the officials

"If there is something to play, nothing to retreat"

"The minister has his own play"

The Minister of Rites, who was in the second row, came out and bowed respectfully

"Say it"

Li Ming looked curiously at the Minister of Rites below.

"Your Majesty, Wencheng Wude, meritorious deeds will last for thousands of years, the official proposed to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen, so as to show the prosperity of my Great Xia and the achievements of Your Majesty"

"Yes, yes, your majesty's achievements are enough to carry out Mount Tai Fengchan"

Following the proposal of the Minister of Rites, the whole hall echoed one after another, and Li Ming couldn't help being moved when he heard it. According to Zhang Shoujie's "Justice" explanation in "Historical Records Fengchan Shu": "On this Mount Tai, earth is built as an altar to worship the sky and repay the sky. The merit of this is called Feng. The merit of removing the earth from the hills below Mount Tai and repaying the earth is called Zen."

Li Ming was about to agree, but suddenly he thought of seeking someone, and couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, but for a while, it was dull,

"Even Zhao Heng's child can go to Taishan to enshrine Zen. What is the significance of this enshrinement? I am ashamed to be with him."

Bah, what grade is worthy of being compared with me

The ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, but it was also the same reason when they thought about it in their hearts. Even Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng could go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen.
Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng was the third emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty. During his reign, he even signed the humiliating "Tanyuan Alliance" with the Liao Kingdom during his reign, which is really unprecedented.The key point is that Song Zhenzong is still complacent, thinking that he is awesome, and always thinking about enshrining Zen. In the end, although he succeeded in enshrining Zen in Taishan, it also lowered the level of Fengchan. Since then, no emperor has gone to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen.

"It's because I didn't think well about it, I hope His Majesty will forgive me."

The gazes of the ministers made the minister of the Ministry of Rites feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, and hurriedly went out to make a confession. Li Ming waved his hand indifferently. The minister of the Ministry of Rites just returned to the team with a sigh of relief. Li Ming inspected all the officials, his eyes fixed on the minister of the Ministry of Industry
"Li Aiqing, has the palace in Chang'an City been completed?"

The minister of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly came out, cupped his hands and then reported: "His Majesty, the Daxing Palace is expected to be completed in ten days."

"Xingqing Mansion is no longer enough to be the capital of the Great Xia. Liu Jian is going to find you a good day to make a charter."

"Ministry of obedience"

Qin Tianjian is rushing out
As the work of moving the capital started, all departments of Xingqing Mansion were busy, but it took half a year to complete the work of moving the capital

Chang'an City

The Nine Heavens closed and opened the palace, and all nations were dressed and worshiped
Li Ming looked at Chang'an City in front of him, thinking back to the time when all nations came to court in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, he pointed to Chang'an City with pride in his heart and said:
"What I want is not for all nations to come to court, I want all nations to bow their heads, and you are willing to follow me to create this prosperous world"

All the ministers around nodded in agreement, and couldn't help thinking of the scene of Wan Bang bowing his head, and couldn't help being excited, especially the military commander's eyes were shining, who doesn't want to be famous in history, Huang Rong and Mu Nianci on the dragon chariot seem to be tender Shui looked at Li Ming, Li Qingsu and Li Hao also looked at their father with admiration, Li Hao was born three years ago by Empress Huang Rong.

"I swear to follow His Majesty to the death"

All the officials bowed their heads, Li Ming nodded in satisfaction
"Follow me into the capital"

Li Ming's dragon chariot enters the city first, followed by hundreds of officials, and the Great Xia dragon cavalry guards all directions
As soon as you enter Chang'an City, you will be greeted by rows of neat houses, which are well located. Looking down at the entire Chang'an City from a high altitude, it looks like a huge Tai Chi Eight Diagrams, and Daxing Palace is the Tai Chi pattern in the middle of the Eight Diagrams.

As Li Ming and hundreds of officials entered the city, the people in the city lined up to meet them. At a glance, there was a crowd of people. The army maintained order, and the dragon chariot moved forward slowly. The people on both sides waved their hands enthusiastically. Li Ming looked at the people. Ruddy face, can't help but smile

Soon the Daxing Palace came into view. The northern part of the Daxing Palace is a garden area, with a sparse architectural layout and various forms.To the north of Shengde Hall is Yuye Pool, also known as Penglai Pool. There is a mound to the east of the pool, which is called Penglai Mountain.There are corridors along the bank of the pool, and there are many pavilions and halls nearby. The Qilin Hall of the East Palace is the prince's residence, and the Ganlu Hall and Fengluan Hall of the Harem are on the shade side, as well as the Fengyi Hall of the Queen's bedroom.
The Hall of Shengde is where all the officials go to court.

Daxing Palace covers an area of ​​3.8 square kilometers and is surrounded by 10-meter-high city walls on all sides. There is a 52-meter-wide moat outside the city.

It took four years to build such a huge palace complex, but I don't know how much manpower and material resources were spent.
Well, the manpower of Kunlun slaves and Goryeo is really easy to use, but it is a little less. It seems that the Xuanwu army needs to go to Japan, and it just happens to give some benefits to the Xuanwu army. Tianzhu is also good. It is said that the periodic table of elements in the Ganges there is very good. Rich, I don’t know if it’s true. I don’t know if there is any white skin in Mongolia now. If there is a chance, I can borrow some to build roads.

While thinking, everyone had already arrived at the Hall of Shengde. Li Ming stepped up to the steps, reached out and touched the cold dragon chair, and sat on it with a dragon robe. A sense of majesty surrounded the hall, and all the officials bowed their heads to worship
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Peace for all the nobles"

With the end of the first court meeting of Daxing Palace, Li Ming took his two daughters and two sons and daughters to inspect this huge palace all the way, and it was carved and resplendent.The four corners of the temple stand upright, like the wings of a swallow.

Under the sunshine, this Daxing Palace looks even more brilliant.The palace seemed to be made of gold, silver and jewels, with vermilion gates, magnificent.All the luxurious palaces are shining brightly.The palace looks dazzling and resplendent.The whole palace is flying and flowing, majestic.
