Warmly welcomed by the emperor, the empress dowager, and the Chinese military officials, the regent Zhang Yan returned to Pengcheng with his triumphant division.

The banquet held to welcome the triumphant division was also prepared in the palace as early as possible, and the soldiers who followed Zhang Yan on the expedition returned to the barracks and were warmly welcomed by the soldiers who stayed behind.

At the banquet, everyone was happy and happy, but as the protagonist of this banquet, Zhang Yan's face was not very happy.

Many people saw that Zhang Yan looked preoccupied, but they didn't dare to ask, for fear of ruining the atmosphere at this moment.

In the palace of the imperial palace, the musicians have been playing the beautiful sound, the emperor Liu Feng sat on the dragon chair and ate the food in front of him, while the Empress Dowager Gongsun sat next to Liu Feng, seeing that Liu Feng had eaten so many things, she had been whispering comforting beside her, asking Liu Feng to eat less, so as not to eat too much.

And Zhang Yan sat on Liu Feng's left hand side, and he didn't taste the food in front of him at all, just pouring wine, drinking, pouring wine, and drinking again.

The civil and military officials are divided into two sides of the main hall according to the size of their official positions, and in the center of the main hall is a group of dancing girls who are immersed in the beautiful music played by the musicians.

After the dancers finished dancing, they were about to dance the next song, but they saw Zhang Yan suddenly stand up from his seat, and his cheeks were red due to too much drinking, and he said loudly: "Okay, don't dance, let's go down!" ”

Naturally, the dancers couldn't ask for it. They all "snorted". Slowly exited the main hall. Zhang Yan waved his hand at the musicians again, signaling them to leave the hall as well, and the musicians all bowed their heads and quietly left the hall.

Without the beautiful music and graceful dancing, the hall suddenly seemed a little quiet, and many civil and military officials also noticed that Zhang Yan's face had become iron-blue, which was not a good omen. And the intuition told them that Zhang Yan might have something important to say next.

Sure enough.

Zhang Yan first turned around and saluted Emperor Liu Feng, who was sitting on the dragon chair and was eating, and then said aloud: "Your Majesty, taking advantage of the gathering of the Chinese martial arts here today, Weichen has something to say, and I ask Your Majesty Xià to allow it." ”

Liu Feng was eating by himself, and he had no intention of paying attention to Zhang Yan at all, but the Empress Dowager Gongsun beside Liu Feng continued to say: "The regent is the foundation of the country, just say anything you want!" ”

Zhang Yan nodded, and then turned around. Facing the ministers, his sharp eyes swept over the ministers present. Lang Sheng said: "Since the first emperor moved to Pengcheng, Pengcheng has always existed as the temporary residence of the Son of Heaven, but because Pengcheng is restricted by geography and many factors, Pengcheng cannot be used as the capital for the Son of Heaven to enjoy. And now, the old capital of Luoyang, which was burned down before, has been built this summer under the unremitting efforts of Yin Zhanghong in Henan, and the new Luoyang City has been expanded on the basis of the old capital, which can be described as the largest city in the world at present, which can accommodate millions of people at the same time, and the geographical location of Luoyang is also very important, located in the middle of the world, whether it leads to the east, west, south and north, there are convenient transportation, and waterways and land routes can be walked, it is the imperial capital of nature. When Emperor Guangwu chose Luoyang as the capital, he naturally had his unique advantages, such as today's general decision, and the matter of returning the capital to Luoyang, it is naturally imperative, I don't know what your opinion is? ”

As soon as the words fell, there was silence in the hall, everyone looked at each other, and Luoyang was naturally understandable, but to move the capital, it was not something that could be done overnight, after all, Pengcheng as the emperor's temporary companion has been saving for a lot of time, everyone is used to a qiē here, many officials have also settled in Pengcheng, bought property, if they move away suddenly, then how should their family property be good, the emperor is not here, then they invest in the field, real estate, Isn't it all about to lose its value?

"It is imperative to return the capital to Luoyang, benefit the country and the people, and Weichen strongly agrees!" Jia Xu said first.

Then, many people made a statement, but some agreed and some opposed. The approval rating for this matter is less than half.

Zhang Yan did not expect such a support rate, and his original expectation would be more than 90 percent, but judging from the current situation, it is only less than 30 percent. Most of those who supported Luoyang were officials who had taken up posts in other places, while most of those who opposed it were officials around Pengcheng, and even Chen Qun, the head of the household department, who had always supported his actions, also opposed this matter.

Such a situation is something that Zhang Yan doesn't want to see, and even he can't figure it out himself, in his opinion, it would have been a good thing, why are so many people opposed?

He was so engrossed in state affairs that he naturally couldn't understand some of the thoughts of his subordinates, and he didn't know why they were opposed. When he asked the people, no one would answer.

At this time, Zhuge Liang, who was sitting without saying a word at the end, suddenly said: "Returning the capital to Luoyang, it is undoubtedly equivalent to moving the capital, such a big event, once decided, there are bound to be many pros and cons, Weichen thinks that this major event, it is better to wait until the court meeting to talk about it, today is a celebration banquet, everyone should be happy." ”

Zhuge Liang's words were like a step, giving Zhang Yan a chance to step down, and also relieved him of his temporary embarrassment, Zhang Yan also got off the donkey down the slope and no longer mentioned this matter, but in his heart, he always wanted to know why so many people opposed this matter.

Because the banquet was a little unpleasant, so the banquet did not last too long, about a stick of incense, the banquet ended, the ministers left the palace one after another, three steps and two steps to the house, today's banquet, Zhang Yan's words, revealed an extremely important information, according to Zhang Yan's past personality, but also Luoyang no matter how big the resistance, is a trend. And now, what these civil and military ministers need to do is to rush home quickly and start selling off the property in their hands, so as not to lose money when the time comes.

Zhang Yan was the first to leave the banquet after Emperor Liu Feng and Empress Dowager Gongsun left. After he returned to the Yan Palace. He shut himself up in his study. He has always been unable to figure out why so many people oppose such a good thing, and those Chen Qun, Zhang Zhao and others, who have always been by his side and are very loyal to him, are also strongly opposed, could it be that he really did something wrong to move the capital?

When Zhang Yan was secretly distressed. Xu Sheng walked in from outside, hugged his fists and said, "Regent, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are asking to see you outside!" ”

"Nope!" Zhang Yan was angry, so he naturally didn't want to see anyone.

Xu Sheng said: "Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong said that they have something important to ask to see the regent, and it is about moving the capital......

Zhang Yan frowned, his eyes rolled, and he said to Xu Sheng: "Let them in!" ”

"Whoa!"

Not long after Xu Sheng went out, he brought Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong in, and Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong saw Zhang Yan. They saluted one after another, and then said in unison: "See the regent!" ”

Zhang Yan said: "You are in such a hurry to come to me. Is it for the relocation of the capital? ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Today in the main hall, does the regent know why so many people oppose the relocation of the capital?" ”

Zhang Yan shook his head.

Pang Tong said: "Regent, the matter of moving the capital must be imperative, Pengcheng is not enough to exist as the imperial capital, and the conditions here cannot be compared with Luoyang at all." When Weichen came from the Western Regions, he passed through Luoyang and experienced the majesty of the newly built Luoyang City, such a huge city, Weichen still has never seen it, it can be called the first in the world, and only such a city can be worthy of the majesty of the royal family, and can be stored as the imperial capital. Moreover, I believe that there are many people in the hall today who know the importance of moving the capital, and also know that Pengcheng cannot be stored as the imperial capital, but they still oppose the relocation of the capital, just because they have purchased many properties in Pengcheng. ”

After Zhang Yan heard this, he frowned tightly, what Pang Tong said was something he hadn't considered, he thought that as long as he moved the capital, he would just settle a home for many ministers in the new capital, how do you know that there are so many insiders in this.

Since he took charge of Xuzhou, he has been in a high position, and the entire Xuzhou is his, and he doesn't have to think so much about food, clothing, housing and transportation, so he can't understand the difficulties of the civilian class. He didn't know that after he welcomed the emperor to Pengcheng, the price of goods and land in Pengcheng had increased several times, and it had become fashionable to invest in Pengcheng's industries and be neighbors with the emperor.

Originally, the people of Pengcheng were poor to death, but as soon as the emperor came, even a collapsed house could be sold for a good price, making those who could not afford to eat or wear clothes in Pengcheng The people born and raised in Pengcheng instantly became rich and lived a well-off life in one step.

The current Pengcheng is no longer the Pengcheng of the year, most of the people of Pengcheng, who were born and raised locally, have sold the dilapidated industries where their ancestors have lived for generations, and moved to other places, and most of the people who stayed are foreign investors, and even some officials have started investment business, after all, in this era, Conglong is more strict, and he can live in the same city as the emperor, and he feels face-saving when he says it.

"In this way, those people in the hall who oppose the relocation of the capital today are all afraid that they will not be able to recover the money they invested, so they oppose the relocation of the capital?" Zhang Yan asked.

Zhuge Liang said: "At least Pang Shiyuan and I understand it like this. Moreover, according to Weichen's speculation, there may be great changes in Pengcheng in the near future, and those officials who own many industries in Pengcheng may have to start selling the properties in their hands, lest the regent really move the capital at that time, and give them a surprise and make them lose all their money. However, once the industry is too concentrated and sold, it will inevitably have a certain impact on the current prices, which may cause some turmoil in Pengcheng, and it can even affect the stability of the entire country, so Weichen and Pang Shiyuan came to see the regent, hoping that the regent would take precautions as soon as possible and come up with a good way to prevent such a thing from happening. ”

Zhang Yan's face became even more ugly, he seemed to think of the modern economic crisis, and the form he is facing is also a manifestation of the economic crisis, if he does not find a way to solve it, it will definitely cause economic turmoil. Such a turmoil was extremely dangerous when he had just taken Jiangnan and needed peace and stability. Therefore, he must find a way to solve this impending economic crisis and avoid it as much as possible.

Now Zhang Yan's mind is blank, he can fight and kill, and he doesn't know how to solve such an economic crisis. So he raised his head, looked at Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, and asked: "Since you have come to this king to raise this potential danger, there must be a solution to this crisis, you can tell this king quickly, if you can really avoid the emergence of this crisis, you will be indispensable, and this king will naturally be rewarded!"
