Di Renjie knew Liu Rengui’s plan very well, but he also sympathized with Wei Ji, so he felt very conflicted now, which was the main reason why he came to Zhang Zong to talk to him.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Zong looked up and said, "Wei Siqing may not be able to escape the unwanted disaster this time. There is no way to do this. But in your opinion, you will write a letter together to oppose the capital movement. How sure are you to convince Your Majesty?"

"This..." Di Renjie showed a hesitant look again after hearing this, as if he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Seeing Di Renjie's expression, Zhang Zong seemed to have guessed something, and smiled again and said, "It seems that Brother Di, you know that even with the support of Liu Xiang and the prince, you are not sure. And Brother Di, have you ever thought about it? Even if you stop Your Majesty from moving the capital, will Your Majesty really not go to Luoyang?"

Zhang Zong's words also point directly to the core of the problem. Since the second year of Xianqing, Li Zhi has been to Luoyang many times, sometimes living there for half a year. In this case, Li Zhi wants to announce the capital to be moved, which is nothing more than legally improving the status of Luoyang again. Even if Liu Rengui and others stop him, he cannot stop him from living in Luoyang again, thus achieving the purpose of de facto moving the capital.

"I think so too, but as long as Your Majesty does not announce the move to Luoyang for one day, Chang'an will still be the capital of the Tang Dynasty. The powerful officials in Chang'an do not have to worry about Your Majesty building another team in Luoyang and thus separating the power in his hands." Di Renjie sighed again at this time.

"Daughty! Have they forgotten the previous incident of the North Gate Bachelor?" Zhang Zong snorted coldly after hearing this.

"Bachelor of the North Gate? Brother Zhang, what do you mean..." Di Renjie was also shocked when he heard this, and seemed to have thought of something.

"Even if His Majesty was prevented from moving the capital, if His Majesty lived in Luoyang for a long time, some government affairs would definitely need him to deal with. If the officials of the three provinces and six ministries were all in Chang'an, it would be difficult for His Majesty to build another team in Luoyang. Even if there is no formal official position, as long as His Majesty gives them power, they can still achieve the effect of decentralization." Zhang Zong spread his hands and said helplessly.

In fact, Zhang Zong was still very criticized by the ancient imperial power system, because the national military and political power was concentrated in the hands of one person, and the key was that there was no one who restricted him. This led to the direction of the country's policy, which completely depends on the person's preferences. If he wanted to do anything, others could not stop him.

In terms of heart, Zhang Zong was not actually opposed to the moving of the capital, and even agreed with it, because he knew very clearly that as the Tang Dynasty became more and more powerful, the population in Guanzhong also increased, but due to the narrowness of the Guanzhong Plain, it could not accommodate too much population at all. Now the Guanzhong Plain has overpopulated.
