Chang'an City, Weiyang Palace.

"Wait for your majesty to meet your majesty, your majesty holy ann!"

In the front hall of Weiyang Palace, in the main hall, the civil and military ministers are dressed in court clothes, lined up on both sides of the main hall, all kneeling on the seat cushion, and saluting Liu Chan who is sitting on the dragon chair due north.

"All love is exempt!" Liu Chan stretched out his hands to support him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After thanking Liu Chan, the courtiers straightened their backs, sat on the heels of their buttocks, and sat down on their knees.

It is now the beginning of February 227 AD, and it has been five days since Liu Chan entered the Great Wall.

After Liu Chan took Chang'an, he naturally wanted to settle in Chang'an City, and if nothing else, he would always settle in Chang'an in the future.

Therefore, Liu Chan had to choose one of the various palaces in Chang'an City to live in, and the palace he chose to live in and deal with government affairs was called Weiyang Palace.

Chang'an City is not a square city, but a shape similar to an axe.

Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty has three major palaces, namely Weiyang Palace, Changle Palace, and Jianzhang Palace, these three palaces are generally the place where the emperor and members of the royal family live and deal with government affairs.

Those who are familiar with the layout of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty and have visited Beijing City in the Ming and Qing Dynasties know that these two cities were built with the imperial city as the center.

This way of building the city is called the layout of the central axis of the capital, and the location of the imperial city is exactly in the center of the central axis.

The Han Chang'an City is different, its main hall Changle Palace is located in the southwest area of Chang'an, Jianzhang Palace is located in the west of Chang'an City, and Changle Palace is located in the southeast of Chang'an City.

In the north area of the city, there are Gui Palace, North Palace, Mingguang Palace, East and West Cities, etc., and there are nine temples in the south of the city.

These royal palaces are distributed in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of Chang'an City, and are not uniformly located in one area.

From the end of the Western Han Dynasty to the present, Chang'an City has been in war for a long time, and the three palaces of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty were destroyed in the war, among which Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace have been repaired in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and as for the Jianzhang Palace, it was burned by fire at the end of the Western Han Dynasty.

Although Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace have been repaired, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty was established in Luoyang, Chang'an, which has not been inhabited for two hundred years, so it has fallen into disrepair.

Last year, Cao Rui came to Chang'an in person, and lived in Weiyang Palace, so some people in Weiyang Palace had rested, compared to the dilapidated Changle Palace, Liu Chan naturally chose to live in Weiyang Palace.

The civil and military ministers naturally moved to Chang'an City, last year Cao Rui drove the expedition in person, but brought a large number of courtiers, these Wei courtiers arrived in Chang'an, they will naturally prepare a place to live and work.

Now that Wei has lost Chang'an, the place where the Wei courtiers lived and worked in Chang'an at that time was cheaper than the courtiers of the Han Dynasty today.

When a group of civil and military officers settled down, Liu Chan also summoned them to Weiyang Palace to discuss major matters, so this was the first time that Liu Chan held an early dynasty in the main palace of Chang'an after taking Chang'an to discuss national affairs.

There are not many civil and military forces in the main hall.

Since Chang'an has been taken, Sima Yi is in Tongguan again, and there is no threat from Wuguan for the time being, so Guan Yu has also returned from Wuguan.

Zhuge Liang's official position is Da Sima, and he is the head of the military attachés, but when Guan Yu came, it was naturally difficult for Guan Yu to be in second place, so Guan Yu stood in the first place among the generals, followed by Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Zhang Ren, Lin Xiao and other generals.

As for the civilian officials, Zhuge Liang is the first, Fazheng is the second, and then most of them are in the army, and many people Liu Chan can't even name them.

Compared with this huge and wide meeting hall, the civil and military ministers only occupy less than one-fifth, and the hall is very empty.

"That's too little!" Liu Chan said involuntarily.

Hearing this, Fa Zheng arched his hand and asked, "I don't know what Your Majesty thinks is missing?" ”

Liu Chan pointed to the unseated position at the end of the hall, and muttered: "This hall is so big, and my Han courtiers only occupy less than 20%, don't you Aiqing think it's too empty?" ”

As soon as the civil and military heard this, they knew that Liu Chan had the intention of moving the capital.

You think that this hall is empty, so you have to let people replenish it, but this hall is not something that everyone can come into, so only the civil and military of the Yizhou Imperial Court come over, but the civil and military of Yizhou can not come casually, if they all come, it is equivalent to changing the national capital.

When Liu Chan said this, didn't he deliberately move the capital to Chang'an.

Fa Zheng arched his hand and said: "Now Your Majesty is driving the expedition in person, breaking Longshan, fixing the pass, and taking Chang'an." Chang'an is the land of my Han Longxing, with Qinchuan in the south, Longshan in the west, and Huashan in the east, which is dangerous on all sides.

And the land in the middle of the pass, fertile fields for thousands of miles, the first emperor is alive, has been obsessed with returning to the old capital, now Chang'an has been down, Weichen dared to suggest that His Majesty move the capital to Chang'an, return to the old capital, in order to comfort the soul of the first emperor!

Then recuperate, go east to take Luoyang in one fell swoop, and set the world! ”

"No, no!" Fa Zheng's voice fell, and then an official in the civil official queue walked out and said: "Although Guanzhong is in danger on all sides, Tongguan has not been taken at this moment, if the capital is moved, Wei may send troops to Tongguan at any time to threaten Chang'an."

And now the situation is not as good as the former Han Dynasty, north of Guanzhong, the barrier is lost, and the Hu people are riding iron, and they may go south to kill the hinterland of Guanzhong at any time.

And Guanzhong has been war-torn for a long time, the population is sparse, and although the land is rich, it has not been cultivated for many years, so that locusts are a disaster.

Weichen thought that the matter of moving the capital should not be rushed, and it would not be too late to wait for Tongguan to be taken and moved. Or, when Luoyang is taken in the future, it is not too late to directly settle on the Central Plains. ”

Another courtier said: "Qin Senjun said well, not only that, Chang'an is too far away from Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Jiaozhou. ”

Although these two courtiers are just ordinary members of the army, what they say is also true, and it is not unreasonable.

First of all, Tongguan has not been taken at present, and the east is exposed to the advance of Wei.

Second, there is no barrier in the northern part of Guanzhong, and it is exposed to the iron cavalry of the Hu people at any time.

If it is not safe, if something goes wrong, the country will be taken down, and the country will fall apart at least or perish directly.

If Chang'an is the national capital, the safety factor is not as good as Chengdu.

In terms of territory, the Han Dynasty now occupies the five prefectures of Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, Yizhou, Liangzhou, and Yongzhou.

Chang'an, located in the forefront area, is not the central area, and is quite far away from Yizhou and Jingzhou, if there is something in the interior, the transmission of news will be very slow, which is also not conducive to ruling the country.

In the past, Guanzhong was rich and had a population of several million, but now, the population of Guanzhong may not even be 300,000, and a large area of land has been wasted, so that locusts are a disaster.

Compared with Chengdu, today's Chang'an is indeed not as good as Chengdu.
