Perhaps because the weather was really hot, Lu Pheasant in the Yutang Hall of Beigong was also a little restless.
I still remember that 900 years later, when I replaced the Tang Dynasty with the Zhou Dynasty and founded the new dynasty, I decisively moved the capital from Chang'an to the sacred capital Luoyang. The purpose of Luoyang City was to have beautiful mountains and rivers, developed transportation, and convenient water transportation.
After all, all the problems raised by Lou Jing at this moment were no longer threats under her rule at that time. The world was unified, and there were no eastern princes to look at each other. The successive rebellions from within the Li Tang clan were also quickly eliminated. exterminate.
Liu Ji, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, did not dare to live in Luoyang because he was afraid of kings with different surnames. Emperor Zetian made Luoyang his capital in order to completely separate the Guanzhong area, which was the foundation of Li Tang, from the completely new atmosphere of the new dynasty.
Chang'an was the place where the emperor's empire first flourished, and Luoyang was the capital of the king of peace in the world. The Zhou Dynasty no longer needed natural dangers to maintain stability. Luoyang, located in the center of the world, was the chosen capital of the prosperous age created by her.
However, she clearly remembered that the climate in Luoyang in those years was pleasant and it seemed not as hot as it is now.
But then I thought about it, since the Central Plains is so warm, the Xiongnu grassland in the north, thousands of miles away, must be a year of abundant pasture, even though it is colder than the Han Dynasty.
The experience of fighting with the countries in the Western Regions in her previous life taught her that in years with abundant water and grass and good weather, the nomadic people who were born for water and grass will be relatively stable and will not rush to the south to plunder the whole country.
This was good, as it bought the big man some time. Thinking of this, Lu Zhi was actually grateful for the scorching heat in early summer, and just kept pacing back and forth in the empty hall.
The jade pendant hanging on her waist jingled with every step.
This set of jade pendants is extremely exquisite, more than three feet long, and half a person tall when placed. The top is a chalcedony ring, with a jasper ring and a white jade bi in the middle, and six long jade tubes at the bottom. At the bottom is a horned dragon jade.
Between each layer, there are amethyst beads, white crystal beads and turquoise, which are dazzling and extremely luxurious.
In her previous life, she had seen it in ancient paintings. From the Zhou Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, royal nobles had been popular in wearing this kind of long jade pendant. It was not only used for decoration, but also as a ceremonial object when traveling.
When a gentleman wears jade, he will wear it. It means that if the person who wears jade is restrained and polite, then the jade group will make a sonorous and sweet sound when walking.
But if the person who wears the jade behaves too violently and moves in a panic, then the sound of the jade's punching teeth and the two jade's collision will no longer be pleasant, but will only sound chaotic and harsh.
At this time, not only the dangling jade pendant, but also Lu Zhi's mood seemed a little disorganized. She secretly blamed herself for how she could still be so close to each other after being reborn as a human being.

"Historical Records" said that Liu Ji was very angry when he learned that Zhong Liquan was taken in by Han Xin based on reports from inside the Chu State. However, he was always afraid of Han Xin and did not dare to use force, so he adopted Chen Ping's strategy of attacking the heart first and forcing Han Xin to give up Zhonglihuan.
Han Xin, written by Tai Shigong, was indecisive. He wanted to protect himself but was unwilling to betray his friends. He hesitated and took the initiative to go to Zhong Lihuan for discussion;
Zhong Lihuan had already seen through the King of Chu whom he had known since childhood. In order to save his friends, he chose to draw his sword and kill himself.
It's a pity that Zhong Lihuan's self-sacrifice and perfection did not bring Han Xin life.
When the depressed Han Xin personally presented Zhong Lihuan's head to Liu Ji, what he got in exchange was the dethronement of the title of King of Chu and a life of nearly house arrest for five years.
Finally, under Liu Ji's instruction, Han Xin was deceived by Queen Lu Fei into Changle Palace, where he died at the hands of the woman.
In this life, Lu Pheasant didn't want to kill him, but wanted to protect him.
The infant Han Empire looked glamorous on the outside, but inside it was like an old house when a storm was about to come. It was leaking everywhere. The east, west, south, and north borders needed to be conquered and pacified one by one. It was the right time for the court to hire people. This group of capable generals who were good at conquering and fighting were killed. It's such a pity.
Lu Pheasant originally thought that as long as he properly arranged Zhong Lihuan's line, Liu Ji would take action against Han Xin later, leaving more room for everyone to maneuver.
But at this moment, she only hated herself for being careless. In all the arrangements, she actually neglected one of the most important factors, and that was——
Han Xin’s character.
Han Xin, who was invincible on the battlefield, was like an inexperienced child when faced with political struggles, sensitive and arrogant, reckless and suspicious, always worrying about gains and losses, and always indecisive.
Character determines destiny. It seems that even without Zhong Lijuan as a drug guide, Chen Bing's impulsive display of power alone would be enough to cause him great disaster.
Fortunately, Liu Ji, who had not yet decided to kill him, had decided to adopt Shusun Tong's suggestion about the Great Court Meeting and planned to inform the princes and kings to go to Beijing to report on his duties in a few months.
So, if Han Xin follows the trend and takes the initiative to come to Luoyang to report on his work, he can get one more opportunity for himself to show his loyalty.
However, this time he needed to come quickly. He must arrive in Beijing before the catastrophe was about to break out to express his loyalty.
Otherwise, everything will be of no use. If that incident breaks out, Liu Ji's wariness and murderous intention towards the king with a different surname will become even more determined, and Han Xin's belated loyalty will definitely not gain the emperor's trust at all, and will only be regarded as It's suspiciously false.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhi looked anxiously at the palace attendants on his left and right, "Is the master here?"
***
After Zhang Liang sat down in the hall and couldn't wait for the palace maid to serve him tea, Lu Pheasant asked anxiously,
"Master, are you sure Han Xin will come?"
Zhang Liang was very calm and looked like the old god was there.
"Thanks to the queen's reminder, as soon as I heard the news about Han Xin showing off his military power, I immediately wrote to him. Firstly, I asked him to calm down, and secondly, I asked him to be prepared to come to Luoyang as soon as possible.
"He agreed immediately?"
"Yes, the old minister is also a little surprised. What he said in the letter is that he no longer cares about Chu, so he has invited your majesty to come and stay in Luoyang.
Presumably, having received the notice of the Great Court Meeting at this moment, he would come even more quickly. "
Han Xin no longer hesitated, and Lu Zhi was also a little surprised. However, it was always a good thing that he was willing to come to Luoyang. Suddenly, as if she thought of something again, she hurriedly asked,
"Master, are the secret letters between you and Han Xin still engraved on bamboo slips?"
"No, Han Xin thought it was too troublesome to engrave on the slips, and he couldn't do it to others, so we switched to ink writing early in the morning."
"The ink book...isn't it easy for others to alter it?"
Lu Pheasant didn't understand why Zhang Liang, who was experienced in seeking country, was so trusting.
Zhang Liang stroked his beard and smiled,
"Haha, queen, please don't worry too much.
The old minister only asked him to write with his left hand. The swaying words had some unpredictable patterns in the chaos. Not even a god could imitate them, but he could tell the authenticity at a glance. "
"So, what about the letters from you? You have been in court for many years, and there must be many people who are good at imitating your handwriting."
Hearing this question, Zhang Liang's expression became even more proud and arrogant.
"So, if I don't write it myself, I leave it to my granddaughter to write. I say something and she writes something.
The little girl's wrist was weak, so she wrote neatly and rigidly stroke by stroke, but lacked strength, which was also the hardest thing to imitate. "
Zhang Zifang, who had lived in the Han Dynasty for 400 years, was so thoughtful and thoughtful. Lv Zhi admired him in his heart, and immediately felt relieved, and asked curiously,
"But children speak most recklessly. Aren't you afraid that your little granddaughter will spread the contents of the letter around?"
"This little granddaughter is the arrogant youngest daughter. She is ten years old this year. She is usually the most calm and taciturn.
Thanks to her young age, she is well-versed in the world and has a clear mind.
The old minister dares to say that she is probably not as good as the Queen when you were young. "
Zhang Liang smiled again, showing his unconcealable complacency and pity.
"Next time, you bring her to the palace and let me reward her with something."
Lu Pheasant said with a smile, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
As far as she knew, although Zhang Liang, the remaining marquis, had saved his life under Liu Ji's rule, his son Zhang Buyi was later exterminated for crimes in the Wen Dynasty. The whole family disappeared and was never seen again in the annals of history, just like a drop sprinkled into the vast ocean. ink.
The imperial family that founded the Huanghuang Kingdom was short-lived and completely disappeared within three lifetimes, including the ice-snow-smart little granddaughter he mentioned.
I wonder if she had intervened in time, would she have had time to change the fate of the Zhang family?
In this life, there are more and more people she wants to protect and more and more things she wants to do, so she must be very energetic.
