    The flowers in Luoyang are like brocade in March, and it takes a lot of time to weave them.

    In spring in Luoyang, the spring breeze brings warmth everywhere, and the sea of ??flowers is fragrant, making people intoxicated.  Compared with Chang'an in Guanzhong, this place is less solemn and more comfortable.

    Huang Mingyuan doesn't know how others feel, but he prefers Luoyang to Chang'an.  Perhaps he believed in his heart that Chang'an was the territory of the Guanlong family, and he always felt that the Guanlong family was powerful, so he always felt like he was being overwhelmed by the other party in Chang'an.  When I arrived in Luoyang, it seemed like a different kind of world.  Here, because everything rises from my own hands, I always feel a little less restrained and a little more free.  Every time I climb high, look far, or go out to play, I always feel that the mountains and waters seem to be much more exquisite than Chang'an.

    I wonder if Yang Guang felt the same way. He was so suppressed in Chang'an that he impatiently fled to Luoyang as soon as he ascended the throne.  According to later statistics, Yang Guang spent a total of 186 days in Chang'an during his fourteen years as emperor, which is a handful.

    Last year¡¯s New Year¡¯s Eve was spent in Fengzhou, but Huang Mingyuan couldn¡¯t return to Chang¡¯an this year.

    His wife Shuning just gave birth at the end of last year and was too weak to go out. Huang Mingyuan did not let them come to Luoyang. Therefore, this year's New Year's Eve was spent by Huang Mingyuan and his younger brother Huang Mingyu in Yang Guang's palace.

    After the Lantern Festival, Huang Mingyuan asked Pei Shuning and his family to move to Luoyang.  The whole family moved here with all their belongings.  Apart from leaving a few old people at home to look after the house, nothing was left for Changan.

    Huang Mingyuan also asked people to dispose of his manor and fields in Guanzhong, and even sold some of his ancestral land, leaving Guanzhong as if fleeing.

    Although the courtiers also heard that the emperor intended to move the capital from Chang'an to Luoyang, the emperor did not publicly express his position, let alone a formal imperial edict. No one thought that the emperor would be so urgent.  Moving the capital was a big project that involved all aspects. Even if the imperial court really moved the capital, it would still have to build the Eastern Capital and make other arrangements, which would be difficult to implement within three to five years.

    But what everyone doesn¡¯t know is that the time for moving the capital is uncertain, and even the entire Sui Dynasty has not been determined yet.  But as the emperor, Yang Guang would basically never stay in Chang'an anymore.

    Unlike everyone who was waiting and watching and feeling distressed, Huang Mingyuan was the only one who was so impatient to move.

    Some people think that Huang Mingyuan is really shrewd. No matter what the emperor does, he can firmly grasp the emperor's thoughts, follow the emperor's footsteps, and be a happy licking dog.  Who could not like such a shrewd and considerate minister?  I can't blame others for climbing so fast, it all makes sense.

    Of course, what others don¡¯t know is that Huang Mingyuan is not trying to curry favor with the emperor. He is just worried that Yang Guang¡¯s prestige in Guanzhong will fall rapidly if he does not return to Chang¡¯an.  If Li Yuan was allowed to proclaim himself emperor in Chang'an again as in history, wouldn't Li Yuan's property in Chang'an be in vain?

    Now Guanzhong has repeatedly clashed with himself, and there are countless enemies, so Huang Mingyuan is not willing to make wedding clothes for others.

    Huang Mingyuan is also preparing to let the Sihai Business Group slowly turn from the light to the dark, and even break away from him in the light.  In the prosperous times, business was naturally prosperous, the logistics world was prosperous, and money was being made every day. With Huang Mingyuan's identity and status, no one with a blind eye dared to deliberately cause trouble for Huang Mingyuan's business.  But in troubled times, businessmen are just lambs to be slaughtered, especially those from the enemy. Could it be that the business group that he has worked so hard for more than ten years will become the prey of others in troubled times?

    Of course, in the eyes of others, Huang Mingyuan stood up for the emperor, but he was still naked.

    Huang Mingyuan¡¯s positive attitude made Yang Guang very happy. It had been a long time since he had seen Huang Mingyuan do something so proactively. His last beating really worked.

    What Yang Guang is most worried about now is that none of the courtiers support his idea of ??moving the capital.  In fact, no matter whether they were the emperor's confidants or important officials in the court, there were really few people in the civil and military circles who supported Yang Guang's move to the capital.  Who is willing to give up a stable life and start over again.  Even if Yang Guang executed Yuan Zhou and killed the chickens to scare the monkeys, he could not completely suppress the undercurrent surging in the court.

    The south of Guanzhong is surrounded by the Qinling Mountains, with the Wei River passing through it.  There are natural terrain barriers on all sides, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. "The fields are fertile, the people are prosperous, there are thousands of chariots, and hundreds of trades are fought hard. The fertile fields are thousands of miles away, and there are many reserves." "This is the so-called Tianfu, the most powerful country in the world."

    Everything in Guanzhong seems to be naturally set for the foundation of the emperor. No one is willing to leave the comfortable house in Guanzhong and go to the dilapidated Luoyang.

    In fact, Yang Guang himself did not dare to explicitly move the capital, so he had to act rogue alone and deliberately stayed in Luoyang.  Just like Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Yang Jian spent more than half a year every yearLike Renshou Palace, Yang Guang also brought a complete administrative team from Chang'an to Luoyang to work here.  Everyone can oppose the move of the capital, but they cannot interfere with the emperor's stay, so this has become a matter of not moving or moving.

    "However, the city of Luoyang is indeed in a dilapidated state and cannot be used as a capital.

    In the spring, on the first day of the first lunar month of Renchen (the first day of the lunar month), Yang Guangda pardoned the world and changed the name to Daye, which was the first year of Daye. On the same day, he appointed Crown Princess Xiao as the queen.

    Immediately afterwards, Yang Guang issued an edict to abolish the general administrative offices of all states in the world, leaving only the eight general administrative offices of Yingzhou, Youzhou, Daizhou, Shuozhou, Fengzhou, Lingzhou, Liangzhou, and Diezhou (Taozhou) in the border areas.  Pingzhou, Ganzhou, and Zhengzhou (Kuozhou) three general administration offices were added.  The governor of each state is only in charge of the army and cannot serve concurrently with the governor.  Matters such as military supply that were originally the responsibility of Shi, the governor-general, were also transferred to the local governor, allowing the state governor to contain the local governor in terms of supply.

    At the same time, twelve transshipment envoys were set up in Longyou, Hedong, Guanzhong, Hebei, Henan, Qingyan, Jiannan, Shannan, Huainan, Jiangnan, Jingxiang, and Lingnan to take charge of water and land transportation in one place and supervise local officials.  Most of the original governors of various states became governors or officials in the court, and the transfer envoys in various places were all Yang Guang's cronies, regardless of their origins in the Long family.  This arrangement allowed Yang Guang to monopolize financial power and once again severely damaged the Guanlong family.

    The abolition of the General Manager's Office was Yang Guang's first victory in a battle involving the fundamental interests of all parties, and what it brought about was the enhancement of the emperor's authority.

    After abolishing the General Manager's Office, Yang Guang began to prepare to build Luoyang, the eastern capital, and stayed in Luoyang openly.

    Yang Guang issued an edict to build Tokyo in Yi and Luo. The edict said: "The regulation of palaces should be based on convenience. The palaces built now must be frugal."

    At the same time, Yang Guang officially appointed the crown prince Yang Zhao as the left-behind officer in Chang'an, and the three officials, Niu Hong, the Minister of Civil Affairs, Yang Yue, the internal historian, and Yang Hong, the crown prince's Taibao, as the deputy left-behind officers.  The capital of the Sui Dynasty was also officially transferred from Chang'an to Luoyang in an unjustified manner.

    In March, Yang Guang appointed Huang Mingyuan as the chief supervisor of the construction of Dongdu, Nayan Yang Da and general craftsman Yu Wenkai as deputy supervisors, and launched a large-scale construction project in Luoyang.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
