Lou Jing, also known as Qi. In the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, the world was decided at the beginning, and Liu Bang made Luoyang its capital. Lou Jing, in sheep's clothing, met General Qi and said, "I hope to see your Majesty. I have something to say. " General Yu saw Lou Jing in rags and wanted to give him a brocade dress. Lou Jing declined, saying, "I'll wear brocade to visit;" Those who wear linen wear linen to visit and dare not change their clothes. " So General Yu introduced Lou Jing to Liu Bang.
Liu bang summoned Lou Jing and rewarded him with delicious food. Then Liu Bang asked Lou Jing what he wanted to say. Lou Jing said, "Your Majesty will make Luoyang his capital. Do you want to compare it with the Zhou Dynasty to see who is more prosperous? " Liu Bang said, "Yes."
Lou Jing said, "Your Majesty made the world different from the Zhou Dynasty. Zhou's ancestors originated in Hou Ji, and Emperor Yao sealed them in Taidi. More than ten generations have accumulated virtue and done good deeds. Gong Liu avoided Xia Jie and settled in Bin. Zhou, who was invaded by Di people, left his hometown and came to Xiqiao, and the Chinese people rushed to follow.
When Zhou Wenwang became Xibe, he broke the dispute between dangerous people and Swiss people, and began to gain his destiny. Jiang Ziya and Boyd came from the seaside to meet him. When Zhou was attacked, 800 governors were in a meeting and said that they could attack, so the Shang Dynasty perished.
Zhou Chengwang acceded to the throne, the Duke of Zhou and others assisted in governing the country, so Luoyang was built, thinking that it was the center of the world, and the governors paid tribute to report on their work, with equal distance. Virtue is easy to be king, and no virtue is easy to die. All kings who live here want to govern the country by virtue, instead of protecting themselves by risks, for fear that future generations will be arrogant and abuse the people.
During the prosperous period of the Zhou Dynasty, the world was in harmony, and barbarians from all directions took refuge in it, and respected the benevolence, righteousness and morality to serve Zhou. The emperor of Zhou did not set up an army, and the people of all countries in the Quartet had to submit. When Zhou Shi declined and split in two, the prince of the world no longer appeared in front of the son of heaven, and Zhou Wang could not punish them. It's not that Zhou Wang is shallow in morality, but that the situation is unfavorable.
Now your majesty has used heavy troops again, retreating 3,000 people, thus directly fighting against Shu Han, pacifying Sanqin, fighting Xingyang with Xiang Yu, fighting for elevation clearance, 70 battles and 40 small battles, making the whole world scratch their heads, exposing skeletons to the wilderness, and countless voices are heard. The injured people have not recovered yet. So I want to compare the prosperity of King Zhou and King Kang, so I will talk about it privately. Besides, the mountains and rivers in Qin are steep and the border is very strong. Even if there is an emergency, it can resist millions of soldiers. Because of the Qin dynasty, this land is very fertile, which is the so-called land of abundance.
Your Majesty entered Hangu Pass and built his capital there. Even if there is chaos in Shandong, the old place of Qin can be preserved. You can't win without pinching his throat and attacking his back. Now that your majesty has entered the customs, his capital is here, and controlling the old place of Qin is also pinching his throat and attacking his back! "
Liu Bang asked his ministers that they all came from the east of Qin, insisting that the Zhou Dynasty was only 700 years old and Qin Ershi was dead, so it was best to make its capital the old capital of the Zhou Dynasty. Liu bang hesitated. After staying in Hou explained to Liu Bang the benefits of Qin's old capital, Liu Bang took a bus to the west on the same day and set his capital in Guanzhong.
Liu Bang said: "The original advocate of Qin Dou was Lou Jing, and Lou Jing was Liu." So he gave Lou Jing a surname of Liu and appointed him as a doctor, known as Feng Chunjun.
Liu Jing believes that Luoyang is no longer in danger, and its capital is here. Only by virtue of morality can the princes submit, but the role of morality is not long. The land in Qin dynasty was steep and fertile, which was very suitable for being a capital city.
