The matter has been discussed, and Zhang Zong was about to say goodbye and leave, but he didn't expect that Li Hong suddenly had something important to discuss with him, and he also asked him to keep it confidential and must not be disclosed to anyone, which made Zhang Zong also look surprised.

Li Hong hesitated for a moment, then said, "I want to adopt Guangshun as a son, what do you think?"

Zhang Zong did not show a surprised expression when he heard this, but instead smiled calmly and said, "It turns out that Your Highness is talking about this matter. Actually, I think Your Highness should have announced this matter long ago!"

"Huh? You knew it a long time ago?" Li Hong asked in surprise when he saw Zhang Zong's appearance.

"I can't say I know, but the last time His Highness called Guangshun and asked him to accompany you to meet the Tubo delegation, I had some guesses." Zhang Zong did not hide it, and said calmly at the moment.

Li Hong has never had a son, which has affected the stability of the position of the crown prince, so many people are quite slight behind the scenes, but they dare not say it out loud. Zhang Zong had discovered that Li Hong's attitude towards Li Xian was a bit subtle, and his later contact with Li Guangshun finally made him have a bold guess, that is, Li Hong might adopt Li Guangshun as his son, and now it seems that this is true.

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from you!" Li Hong had guessed Zhang Zong long ago, and he was also breathing a sigh of relief.

However, Zhang Zong was still worried at this time. He hesitated for a moment and finally looked up and asked, "Your Highness, although you have no children, you are still young after all. If you have children in the future, wouldn't that be glorious..."

Zhang Zong did not continue to talk about it in the end. After all, the adopted son is not his own son. If Li Hong has his own child in the future, how should Li Guangshun deal with himself? Guangshun is his student, so he also needs to think about his students.

"Impossible!" Li Hong smiled bitterly when he heard Zhang Zong's words, then sighed again before speaking, "I have been weak and sick since I was a child. I have never stopped taking medicine since I was a child. According to the imperial doctor, it is almost impossible for my concubine to get pregnant in my physical condition."

When Li Hong said this, his face was also very depressed. After all, for men, not being able to have children is definitely a very heavy blow, and it even extends to the dignity of a man, so he has never told anyone about this.

Zhang Zong also showed a silent expression when he heard this. In fact, even if Li Hong didn't say it, others could guess it. Li Hong himself must know it, but the more he did this, the more he put a huge psychological pressure on him.

However, Li Hong took a long breath and cheered up again: "At the beginning, I didn't believe the imperial doctor's words, so I took a lot of women for myself, but as time went by, my hope became smaller and smaller. Now I have completely given up, so I decided to adopt Guangshun, which can also dispel some people's ideas."

"Your Highness is wise, Guangshun, a child who is smart and studious, has a strong curiosity about many things. Although he is more playful, this is also a common problem at his age. As long as he understands his responsibilities, he will definitely become a good assistant to the prince in the future!" Zhang Zong also immediately expressed his attitude and said that he almost fully supported the adoption of Li Guangshun.

"I think so too. Guangshun is a good child, both smart and sensible. I mentioned it to my second brother before, and he agreed very much. Now I only have to choose a time to announce this matter." Li Hong saw Zhang Zong agreeing, and immediately dispelled his doubts.

"Your Highness can make a decision quickly. This time, the battle against Tubo was very beautiful. Although there has not been any news from General Pei Xingjian, it is probably not bad. With the power of great victory, Your Majesty will definitely decide the move of the capital to Luoyang. However, moving the capital is not something that can be achieved overnight. Prince, you may need to stay in Chang'an. At that time, someone will need to be by Your Majesty to stare at Your Majesty for Your Majesty, and Guangshun is the best candidate!" Zhang Zong suggested again at this time.

It is normal for the prince to supervise the country, but if Li Hong is not around Li Zhi for a long time, it may affect some of Li Zhi's thoughts. In addition, Wu Meiniang is the person next to him, so Li Hong must also send someone to appear around Li Zhi frequently. Even if he does nothing, he can remind Li Zhi not to forget his son.

"You are right. Today I was so confused by the great victory in Tuyuhun. I almost forgot to move the capital. It seems that this matter must be as soon as possible!" Li Hong nodded solemnly after hearing this.

If the move to the capital before was only Li Zhi's own idea, most of the ministers in the court opposed it, but if Tubo was defeated this time, no one could stop Li Zhi from moving the capital.

"In fact, moving the capital is also a good thing. Although Chang'an is good as the capital, the narrowness of the Guanzhong Plain limits the development of Chang'an. In contrast, Luoyang has no such restriction. In addition, I dare to assert that the Tang Dynasty's agriculture, population and economy will slowly move south and east, so if the capital of the Tang Dynasty has always been Chang'an, it will appear a bit remote." Zhang Zong said his own opinion again.

The city of Chang'an reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty, but then it fell vertically. Since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, it has never been selected as the capital by other dynasties. It is mainly because it is located far away from China's political and economic center and is no longer suitable for the responsibility of the capital.

Li Hong also understood what Zhang Zong meant. In the long run, moving the capital was indeed a good thing. He even sometimes thought that if his father had not moved the capital when he was in power, he might have proposed moving the capital after he came to power, but the resistance he faced would only be greater. After all, he did not have the achievements of his father Li Zhi, and he could not ignore the opposition of the ministers.

Thinking of this, all the objections in Li Hong's heart towards moving the capital were gone. Since his father wanted to do it, then his son could only support him with all his strength. And the more his father did it, the less pressure he would be in the future.

After the discussion, Zhang Zong also stood up and said goodbye. Li Hong personally sent him away. Looking at Zhang Zong's back as he was leaving, Li Hong also showed a thoughtful look. He actually guessed what his father Li Zhi thought. The reason why he kept suppressing Zhang Zong's credit and not rewarding was actually to leave Zhang Zong to himself, so as not to have no reward in the future. This is not a good thing for a minister.
