Chapter 498: Reconsider moving the capital

Du Bi came to Guanzhong this time at the behest of the imperial court, and after arriving in Chang'an, he first came to Baling to meet Liu Yin. Liu Yin was very happy when he heard Du Bi's visit, Du Bi was a lieutenant Zuo Cheng at the same level as him when he was a lieutenant right Cheng, and later Liu Yin was promoted to the rank of ruling Jinwu, and Du Bi became his subordinate. In Liu Yin's impression, Du Bi is elegant, intelligent and wise, in terms of qualifications, his time and achievements in the Lieutenant's Mansion are stronger than Liu Yin, but he has never had any intrigue with Liu Yin and secretly calculated.

Therefore, when Liu Yin took office as the general of Zhenbei and stepped down as the ruling Jinwu, he took the initiative to nominate Du Bi to serve as the executive Jinwu, because Liu Yin felt that Du Biwan could be qualified for the position of ruling Jinwu.

"I've seen the general." As soon as Fang met, Du Bi respectfully saluted Liu Yin.

"Fuguo, what kind of wind blew you to Chang'an?" Liu Yin said with a smile and humor.

"Of course it's a southwest wind." Nanzhong is in the southwest of Chang'an, Du Bi also said half-jokingly: "Last year, I said goodbye to the general in Nanzhong, and I missed my humble position very much, so I just heard the news of the general, so I rushed from Nanzhong non-stop, just to see the general." ”

Liu Yin smiled and said, "Come on, don't talk nonsense, you are now the ruling Jinwu, the same as Jiuqing, so what leisure time do you have to come out and wander around?" Let's say, what is the purpose of coming to Chang'an, and what is the intention? ”

Du Bi smiled and said: "Of course, I came to Chang'an at the behest of His Majesty, but I kept rushing all the way, and it was indeed to see the dignity of the general one step earlier. ”

Coming by order? Liu Yin couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. The previous Qin Chahe came to Yongzhou as the assassin of Yongzhou, and this time Du Bi suddenly visited, and it was also the emperor's banner, and it was also the emperor's will, if only one was sent to take charge of Yongzhou affairs, it was reasonable. But as soon as Yin Zheng left, Du Bi came on the back foot, which is obviously not a normal thing, according to the discussion of people in private, this is the time for the court to pick peaches. Although Liu Yin doesn't care about fame and fortune, he is in this position, and he must consider more comprehensive things, and this move of the imperial court is indeed something new. Otherwise, it wouldn't be the case now.

"What's the latest situation at the Imperial Court? What is it that makes you come in person? Liu Yin keenly felt that there must be something big going on in the imperial court.

Du Bi whispered a little mysteriously: "The humble post came here this time to follow His Majesty's will to come to Chang'an to explore the possibility of moving the capital. ”

Moving the capital? Liu Yin was only slightly stunned, but soon understood that he moved the capital to Nanzhong last year, and he was indeed forced by the situation to do so. Now Liu Yin has laid down Guanzhong, and Jiang Wei has recovered Shuzhong. The proposal to move the capital was once again on the table.

Not only did Liu Chan miss his homeland, but even those high-ranking officials and nobles also desperately wanted to return to Shu, and they could have had enough of the desolate and remote land in Nanzhong.

However, Chengdu City has been burned by a fire, and it is almost impossible to restore Chengdu City to its pre-war appearance in a short period of time, so Liu Chan moved back. The first thing that comes to mind is Chengdu, after all, he has lived in Chengdu for forty years and has a very deep relationship, but Chengdu is broken, and it is impossible to return it smoothly.

Other cities in Shu. For example, Fucheng, Luocheng, Jinzhu, and Hanshou are not enough to become the status of the capital in terms of scale and momentum, and the reconstruction of Chengdu is not enough to be completed in three years or even longer.

But Liu Chan didn't seem to be willing to wait, and those big families who moved to Nanzhong were even more eager to return to Shuzhong, and it was also a torture thing to stay in Nanzhong for one more day. In Nanzhong, the status of those big families has plummeted, and without land, they are eagles with broken wings for the wealthy families after all, and they can no longer exert enough influence on the court and the locality.

Of course, a prerequisite for the return of Chengdu is that Chengdu and Shuzhong must be recaptured, and before Jiang Wei recovers Chengdu, even if those scholars and others are eager to wear it, it is just a dream after all. Many lamented pessimistically, fearing that they would not be able to return to their homeland in their lifetime and bury their bodies in a foreign wilderness.

However, more than half a year has passed, and happiness will come so suddenly, not only Jiang Wei recovered Shudi, Liu Yin also captured Guanzhong, the territory of Shu Han, reaching unprecedented heights, which not only made all the Shu Han people who fled to Nanzhong cry with joy, but also gave them the idea of moving back to the capital.

But this idea is full of twists and turns, some people advocate slow relocation, and then move the capital after the completion of Chengdu restoration, some people advocate moving the capital immediately, Chengdu can't do it, there are other cities can be temporarily the capital, such as Mianzhu, which is on the same plain as Chengdu, not far apart, and can be temporarily accompanied by the capital, and after Chengdu is repaired, it can be moved back to Chengdu.

But the opponents believe that the situation near Chengdu is not stable now, the Wei people still occupy Brazil east of Fushui, and there is a possibility of a comeback at any time, and the Wu people also occupy Yong'an, Jiangzhou, which can still pose a threat to Chengdu.

The quick relocation faction and the slow relocation faction had a lot of trouble because of the relocation of the capital, and even Liu Chan felt a deep headache and didn't know where to go.

At this time, Du Bi suddenly put forward a novel and bold idea, that is, to move the capital to Chang'an. Of course, his proposal was not a whim, but the result of careful consideration. Du Bi mentioned in the recital that the situation in Shuzhong is confusing, the battle situation is unclear, and it is a great risk to move the capital back to Shuzhong, and now the war situation in Guanzhong is stable, there are Xiongguan guards outside, and the internal politics are harmonious, and it is very ideal to move the capital to Chang'an. What's more, Chang'an was originally the capital of the former Han Dynasty, Han Gaozu built the capital here, created the Huanghuang Han foundation, and now Ji Han recaptured the land of Longxing, if the capital is moved to Chang'an, then it is of great benefit to the entire restoration of the Han family and the encouragement of the people of the world.
