Chang'an, meaning long-term peace and stability, there will be such a name, naturally to fight a good fortune.

If history has not changed, after the collapse of the Qin regime, Liu Bang took the lead in marching into Guanzhong to occupy Xianyang, and then Xiang Yu also led the army into Guanzhong, including Afang Palace, Lishan Tombs, Xianyang, and many other places were burned by the "arsonist" Xiang Yu either burned clean, or became dilapidated, forcing the later regime to build a new city if they wanted to gain a foothold in Guanzhong, and Chang'an was naturally established.

Xianyang is located at the confluence of many waterways, which is strictly defined as on the north bank of Weishui, on the west bank of Jingshui, and at the source of Bashui. The ancients built cities by the water, because people lived without water, and also for the convenience of farming in the suburbs.

Leaving Lantian and passing through Bashang again, Lu Zhe had not taken the Baqiao before, and he took a small part of it to see if it was still early.

Baqiao Bridge is a bridge connecting the east and west banks of Bashui, and is famous for being a stone bridge and an arched bridge.

There are some records that Baqiao may be the first stone arch bridge in Chinese history, in fact, there are stone arch bridges on the border of Weiguo, Lu and Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the most famous one built by the exiled son of Qin was connected to the fiefdom between the Zhi and Zhao clans.

Later, during the Wu-Yue War, the Yuantang River, the Xuntang River, and the Liangtang River also built their own stone arch bridges, and the historical records recorded that Fan Li took Xi Shi to Lihu Lake through these three rivers.

Lu Zhe stood on the edge of the Baqiao Bridge and looked at the banks of the Bashui River, of course, no one will do any greening along the banks of the river, so it is basically a pristine scenery.

The original scenery is a very rare environment in modern times, but it can be seen everywhere nowadays, Lu Zhe looked at the willow trees on both sides of the river, and thought of the Han and Tang dynasties, because the imperial capital was in Chang'an, people would always break the willows in Baqiao when they traveled far away.

In fact, Lu Zhe also knew that the Baqiao he saw now would not be the one in the Han and Tang dynasties in the future. Let's not talk about the various wars and destruction in the long river of history, if history has not been changed by him, the overlord bridge seen in front of him will actually be destroyed by Xiang Yu later.

The patrol team entered Qindi from Hangu Pass, and the pass they saw was relatively depressed, but no one knew that it was not the worst, if there was no Lu Zhe. Once Xiang Yu enters Qindi, it will be called really miserable.

It was precisely because of Xiang Yu's destruction of all parts of Guanzhong that the Qin people had no choice but to stand on Liu Bang's side, but Liu Bang, who won the hearts of the Qin people, did not choose to fight Xiang Yu to the death immediately after being humiliated.

With the fall of Xianyang and the execution of Ziying, the great cause of anti-Qin came to an end, and it was time to reward meritorious deeds and share the spoils. At this time, the original battle royal family system has long collapsed, and it is no longer based on bloodline to be king, but at the strength held in his hands, when Xiang Yu is the strongest, then of course Xiang Yu has the final say. As for the "righteous lord of the world...... That is, the righteous emperor Xiong Xin who was jointly elected as the leader of the alliance. There are only some unsatisfactory guys who still want to burn the cold stove.

Xiong Xin is the leader of the alliance in the world, and the canonization of the princes should have been supported by Xiong Xin, but at this time, Xiang Yu just felt a big victory in the battle of Julu, and because of a letter of reprimand, Liu Bang was scared to the core, it was Xiang Yu's most high-spirited moment, he didn't think about it, and he didn't even inform Xiong Xin, Xiang Yu summoned the leaders of the world against Qin. It is said that the princes will be divided in Xianyang.

Xiang Yu was a great feudal prince, and Liu Bang, who entered Guanzhong first, did not become the king of Guanzhong. He was sent to Hanzhong, where the legendary "birds don't poop". The rest of the seventeen princes also cede their own land, among which only Wei Bao, whose elder brother died and succeeded the king of Wei, Han Cheng, the king of Han who was canonized by Liu Bang, and Zhao Xie, who had a deep friendship with Liu Bang, three were the original "kings", and the other fourteen were not the ministers and generals of the original Warring States. is a person who Xiang Yu has a personal good impression of.

Zhang Han was awarded the title of King Yong, Sima Xin was awarded the title of King of Sai, and Dong Peng was awarded the title of King Zhai, these three people were originally the Qin State system, and the fief was the original land of the Qin State. However, these three people were civil and military ministers of the Qin State. first surrendered and then helped Xiang Yu to abuse them in Guanzhong, and the Qin people's senses for them can be said to be bad to the bone.

History has changed, many things that would have happened have been impossible to happen again, many people have new experiences, Sima Xin can become the first military attache in the empire, which is not as good as being crowned king in history, but the reputation is very different, this is one of the changes.

Guanzhong is a land with many stories, full of various legendary characters and places of interest.

There are some records in the "Gaozu Benji", saying that Xiang Yu was worried about Liu Bang's departure from Hanzhong, and then specially arranged for Yongwang Zhanghan, Saiwang Sima Xin, and Zhai Wang Dong Peng to besiege Qin, thinking that the three people from Qindi were familiar with the mountains and rivers of Qin, and they were Qin people, so they would definitely trap Liu Bang to death in Hanzhong.

It is quite difficult to say whether the historical record is reliable or not, especially whether the history written by the "victors" is "factual" or not. "Gaozu Benji" said that Xiang Yu was worried about Liu Bang's eastward appearance, and Xiang Yu almost took out all his energy to target Liu Bang in addition to eating and sleeping, but at that historical stage at that time, Liu Bang could only be regarded as weak among the princes in the world, and the rest of the princes were much stronger than Liu Bang.

However, one thing is certain, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu agreed to rush to Julu to participate in the war together, but Liu Bang betrayed his promise, not only did he not go to support Xiang Yu in the bitter battle, but Liu Bang took advantage of the Qin army to be held back by Xiang Yu and entered the Guanzhong, and Xiang Yu was very sure that Liu Bang was unhappy.

In fact, in some subsequent historical records, Xiang Yu did not pay much attention to it after Liu Bang entered Hanzhong, and the princes and kings of various places began to attack and kill each other not long after.

Zhang Er and Chen Yu, the two brothers, were the first to fall in love and kill each other; Then Sima Qiong, the king of Yin, seemed to be Zhao Xie, who was the king of the land on behalf of him, and bullied him and raised troops to attack; The people of the Tian family of the original Qi royal family were even more strange, first Jiaodong Wangtian City and Jibei Wangtian An joined forces to attack Qi Wangtiandu, and then I don't know what the situation turned into a three-way scuffle, and the fight was inextricable; However, the princes south of the Yangtze River are still relatively peaceful, who made them the closest to Xiang Yu's territory, and no one dared to move lightly, didn't they?

"The past is in smoke!" Lu Zhe approached a willow tree, broke off a willow, and asked, "How far is Afang Palace from here?" ”

"Fifty miles." The person who answered was Xu Yan. He had been observing Lu Zhe's expression just now, and he could see that Lu Zhe was feeling and reminiscing.

"How?" Lu Zhe was stunned for a moment when he heard this name, if he remembered correctly, didn't Ziying surrender by the side of the road?

"Historical Records" volume 6 "Qin Shi Huang Benji" records that "the child is tied to the neck to the group, the white horse is a chariot, and the seal of the son of heaven is sealed." Next to the descending road. ”

In ancient times, the name was more particular, and whether it had a special meaning was the need to "name the place".

The reason why it has this name is because there are mulberry trees on both sides of the road, isn't mulberry used for silkworm raising? In addition, there is a dense forest next to the road, and most of it is made of pine and other trees that can be used for various types of furniture, hence the name.

Neishi County is a large and densely populated county, and it was a thing of the past to say that it was densely populated, but it is definitely a fact that there are many counties and mountain villages here.

The closer he got, the more Lu Zhe knew about the situation in Afang Palace. Some people seem to be idle and have nothing to do but are happy to chat with the emperor, and what they say is naturally the situation on the side of Afang Palace.

The Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu made Afang Gongfu "Six kings, four seas and one; Shushan Wu, A Fang out. Covering more than 300 miles, isolated from the sky. In fact, it is a more exaggerated decoration technique, the six countries were destroyed and the four seas were one, and the first emperor cut down the forests of Shu in order to build Afang Palace. This kind of decoration is actually for the purpose of telling about the enormity of Afang Palace later.

Is Afang Palace big? Lu Zhe walked the road, and there were still twenty miles away from Afang Palace. From a distance, you can't see any palace complexes that "isolate the sky", but you can see the green of the mountains.

The reality is that this historical version of the Afang Palace has only stopped starting the preliminary project, and the conceived Afang Palace is really intended to be built along the mountain, and the main palace group is arranged at the foot of the mountain, but the surrounding area is completely included. How much does it occupy Lu Zhe asked, and the answer given by Li Si, who knew better, was really amazing.

Li Si said: "From Yidao in the east, to Wugong in the west, to Weishui in the north, and to the Qinling Mountains in the south. ”

It is difficult for people who are not familiar with Qin Di to have a concept. Lu Zhe also ordered someone to bring a map of the mountains and rivers, and he was a little dumbfounded when he saw all of them.

It was the place they had just walked through, and it was actually on the edge of Lishan Mountain; Wugong is a county on the edge of Weishui, which is 100 miles away from Yidao; Weishui is naturally the Weishui on the side, but the river is very long, and it is really counted as west to Longxi County and east to Sanchuan County; Not to mention the Qinling Mountains, there have been 100,000 mountain names since ancient times, which shows how big the scope is.

Su Lie was dumbfounded, and said without thinking about it: "The First Emperor is really generous!" ”

Isn't that a big deal? If it is according to the range pointed out by Li Si, Afang Palace not only covers an area of three hundred miles, but at least six or seven hundred miles up. However, palaces were not built everywhere, but some land was enclosed for hunting grounds, forest gardens, and so on. In the early days of the Han Empire, there was Shanglin Garden, in fact, Shanglin Garden was part of Afang Palace, which was rebuilt by the ruler of the Han Dynasty from the ruins of Afang Palace. The Shanglin Garden of the Han Dynasty covers an area of more than 300 li, and it is only a part of the former Afang Palace.

"There used to be more than a million laborers, people, and craftsmen here, and the materials transported here from all over the country have never been cut off." Li Si was just telling a fact: "Excavation of the foundation, flat mountain filling, the foundation was almost dug when the first emperor was thirty-five years old, and then the first emperor ordered the construction to be stopped." ”

Lu Zhe didn't know when Afang Palace was built, and he didn't know if it was finally built, all he saw was panic.

It was really just desolation and chaos, the ground was excavated everywhere, some of the mountains were cut down bare and dug out of a corner, wood, stones, and other things were piled up everywhere, and there were no gorgeous palaces to be seen.

According to Li Si, the first emperor intended to build the Afang Palace, and the materials were also collected, but the previous project was opened and the latter was interrupted, of course, because the first emperor was seriously ill and tilted his labor to the side of Lishan, after all, the first emperor could feel that he was dying, and the Lishan tomb became the most important thing.

Li Si hesitated for a moment and said, "Lishan Tomb...... In fact, it was not completed. ”

Lu Zhe knew about this.

After Fusu became the king of Qin, as a son of man, he actually hoped to repair the Lishan tomb, but first, the situation did not allow it, and second, the Qin State did not have so much wealth. In the end, he was able to use the parts that had been built, and sealed the unbuilt areas.

For the First Emperor, Lu Zhe actually has an admiring attitude, and has the heart to support Fusu to build a good Lishan tomb, but his identity does not allow him to do so.

In the final analysis, Lu Zhe's rise was based on the "corpse" of Qin, and he rose from a humble status, not being canonized as a general by the First Emperor and then rebelling, so he didn't feel any guilt. In addition, if the people of the world miss the First Emperor, he may consider the people to learn "Kang Mazi" to build an imperial tomb for the "Hongwu Emperor", and use a respectful attitude to gain the love of the old and the young, but the problem is that the First Emperor has not been appreciated for many years, and there are far more people who hate the First Emperor than those who love it.

The empire wants to build a new capital in Guanzhong, and the address is still being selected, and the land of Afang Palace is one of the choices, either in Zhiyang on the edge of Bashui, or Gaoling on the edge of Deng Guoqu, anyway, it will never be the current Xianyang.

Lu Zhe actually preferred the location of Chang'an in the Han Empire, after all, the Han Empire must have chosen there because of its geographical advantages, but after repeated exploration, the result of the discussion was not to choose that place.

One of the purposes of patrolling Qindi is to confirm where Chang'an, the capital of the city, is to be located, and personally come to the "Afang Palace Ruins" that have not had time to be built, see the foundation that has been dug up, and then see the materials piled up everywhere, Lu Zhe actually has a choice in his heart.

"What will happen to this place?"

"This ......"

The county shou Fanxian of Neishi County, who came later, was a little confused by the question, the current capital of Neishi County is in Zhiyang, and in the early years, the center also intended to choose Zhiyang as the capital of the company, but how could he not see that things would be repeated now.

Afang Palace could not be built, and it was excavated everywhere, which was easy to destroy and difficult to build, and it is conceivable that no one would come to take care of it for a long time, so it could only be so deserted.

"It's a pity to use huge manpower and material resources to be so wasted." Li Si is a person who is good at observing words and feelings, and said boldly: "Besides, the land can be vacant, but it is ...... for timber and other resources to be left for a long time", paused, saw Lu Zhe's head, and said directly: "Maybe Chang'an can be chosen here?" After waiting for a while, he added: "When you have the opportunity, you can also build a palace for Your Majesty to cool off or hunt?" (To be continued.) )
