Happy times are always short-lived, after returning to the palace to accompany his family for three days, on the fourth day, Liu Chan convened a court meeting of civil and military ministers to discuss state affairs.

After the civil and military ministers visited Liu Chan, the officials of various ministries reported to Liu Chan on the various affairs under the rule of various yamen in the past year.

After the courtiers finished reporting the affairs, Liu Chan said: "Now that I have taken Guanzhong and restored Chang'an, the first emperor has always thought of this when he was alive, and when he was dying, he told me that I must complete the great cause of the Northern Expedition."

Today I finally got my wish and was able to recover Chang'an, and now I have returned to Chengdu, I should worship the temple, worship the first emperor, and tell the news to the first emperor to comfort his soul in the sky. This matter is still in charge of Tai Changqing. ”

Like last time, the first thing Liu Chan did when he returned to Chengdu this time was still to worship his ancestors.

Filial piety is the first virtue in the world, the standard for measuring morality, and it is also to take filial piety first, govern the country, or advocate filial piety, worship ancestors, no matter what.

Zhang Song bowed his hand: "Weichen obeys the order!" ”

Liu Chan continued: "When I was in Chang'an, I had already discussed with the Great Sima, the Great General and others, and now that Chang'an has been lowered, my Han should move the capital to Chang'an to correct the prestige of the country. ”

"Move the capital?"

"That's not good, is it?"

"Yes, Chang'an is dilapidated, where is Chengdu good!"

"I went to Chang'an, what should I do here in Chengdu?"

Listening to Liu Chan's words, a group of civil and military officials immediately discussed.

When Liu Chan was in Chang'an, most of the civil and military ministers under his command were not from Yizhou, such as Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Lin Xiao, all of whom came from all over the world.

Although they had an industry in Yizhou, they did not reach the point of entrenchment, so they did not oppose the move of the capital.

But when it comes to Chengdu, it is different, the civil and military ministers in this hall, Yizhou people occupy as many as seventy or eighty percent, three princes and nine secretaries and other positions, because of the balance of factions, so there are not many people in Yizhou, only Zhang Song, Huang Quan and other two are Yizhou locals.

But the adjutant officers of various departments are different, and most of them are from Yizhou.

They were born and raised in Yizhou, and their ancestors have lived in Yizhou for generations, and their influence is deeply rooted in Yizhou. If you go to Chang'an, you have to leave your hometown, and it may even lead to the shrinkage of the industry.

Therefore, the locals of Yizhou naturally do not want Liu Chan to move the capital, and even they hope that even if the Han Dynasty is unified in the future, the national capital will still be established in Chengdu.

An official from Yizhou stood up and said: "Although Your Majesty has seized Guanzhong and Chang'an, Weichen heard that Tongguan has not been taken, and it is still in the hands of Wei, and north of Guanzhong, there are Zhuhu raging.

If the capital is moved to Chang'an, then the east and north will always be threatened by the Wei State and the Hu people, which is not good for the country.

And I Yizhou, surrounded by mountains on all sides, Chengdu Plain is a rich place, far stronger than Guanzhong, stronger than Chang'an, Weichen thinks, it is not appropriate to move the capital.

If Your Majesty really wants to move the capital, you should also choose a better place than Chengdu, how can you abandon the good and choose the weak, please think twice. ”

Liu Chan retorted: "Now that the north has changed its defense, I have transferred 110,000 troops from Hanzhong, Longyou, and Liangzhou to defend Guanzhong, distributed in Wuguan, Huayin, Feng Xu, and Xinping, and my Yizhou soldiers and horses have also stayed in Guanzhong, and now there are a total of 150,000 soldiers and horses in Guanzhong.

Although Tongguan has not been lowered, Hu is not in trouble, but the safety of Guanzhong is not worried!

Although Chengdu is safe, it is too safe, surrounded by mountains for four years, and it is far away from the Central Plains.

Although Guanzhong is now dilapidated, it can march into the Central Plains in the east and attack Jingxiang in the south, which is really the only place in our Han Kingdom. ”

This courtier listened to Liu Chan's words, and was speechless, so he had to retreat.

Another Yizhou courtier stood up, came to the center of the hall and said: "Your Majesty, Chang'an has been war-torn for a long time, and the palace is in ruins. ”

Liu Chan said without hesitation: "I have ordered the expansion of Chang'an, the repair of the palace, and the Chang'an New City, the scale of which is far more than ten times larger than that of Chengdu. At that time, Chang'an will be the center of the world, and everyone will yearn for it, how can there be a loss of national body? ”

Another courtier came out and said: "Your Majesty, Guanzhong has been in war for a long time, there is not one out of ten people, the population is less than 300,000, and it has been disturbed by locust plagues for many years.

And Yizhou is the country of abundance, there are no disasters and no disasters, there are millions of people, prosperous and prosperous, please think twice. ”

Liu Chan smiled and said: "Although the population of Guanzhong is small, but I have been centralizing the people who have fled from Guanzhong in Yizhou and Hanzhong over the years, and these populations add up to three or four hundred thousand.

I also have the god grain corn, sweet potatoes, and cotton, I have been widely planted in Guanzhong, but in two years, the people can have no worries about food and clothing, and then only need to encourage childbirth, within ten years, there will be a million people in Guanzhong.

As for the locust plague, I have already proposed a solution, and it can be dealt with in two or three years. ”

Another Yizhou courtier walked out, this person was in charge of observing the celestial phenomena, he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister watched the celestial phenomena at night, and saw that the crape myrtle star was bright in the southwest and weaker than in the northwest. It is in response to my Han dynasty in Chengdu. The matter of moving the capital is a big matter, and it is related to the national fortune of our Han Dynasty, please think twice about Your Majesty! ”

Liu Chan smiled and said, "Such a coincidence? Da Sima is also good at stargazing, I have asked Da Sima to watch the sky at night, and found that the crape myrtle star is bright in the northwest, and the southwest is weak, it should be in response to my Han when the capital is moved to Chang'an to prosper, I don't know which of you is right and who is wrong? ”

"It's because Weichen is not good at learning!" The official swallowed his saliva, and was pushed back by Liu Chan with a word.

Just kidding, Zhuge Liang is familiar with astronomy and geography, good at Qimen Dunjia, astrological divination, this is famous, no one can compare to him, now Liu Chan takes Zhuge Liang out to say things, who dares to say that Zhuge Liang is wrong.

Liu Chan replied to four people in a row, and the words were all on this point, and all the courtiers also knew that Liu Chan's intention to move the capital had been decided, and no one stood up to oppose it.

Liu Chan looked at the courtiers and asked, "Do you Aiqing have any objections?" ”

All the courtiers were silent, they knew that even if they came up with a good remark, Liu Chan would definitely refute it, and no one could change Liu Chan's determination to move the capital.
