The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 641 Being ordered to be upright, conforming to the destiny!
Long live Qianqiu, Changle is not young.

Changle Weiyang means long-lasting joy that never ends.

Weiyang Palace is the palace of the emperor, and Changle Palace is the palace of the queen mother.

In the Weiyang of Changle, delight in the sensuality of dogs and horses, gallop in the fields and hunt, and indulge in palace utensils.

Caressing the tall beams and pillars in Weiyang Palace, a hint of admiration flashed in Xu An's eyes.

It has to be said that Weiyang Palace is indeed tall and solemn, it is hard to imagine how Xiao He built such a tall and magnificent palace.

Even Xu An, who had seen high-rise buildings before, was shocked when he climbed the steps.

It is no wonder that when the envoys from small countries and the western regions came to Chang'an, they felt ashamed, thinking that they had come to the palace of heaven and faced the gods on earth.

"I don't know how Duke Ming plans to deal with Chang'an City?"

Yan Zhong looked at the familiar Xu An in front of him, bowed and asked.

"Deal with Chang'an City?"

Although Xu An was used to making decisions before acting, Xu An hadn't really thought about the question Yan Zhong raised.

To conquer the Guanzhong area, there are too many affairs that need him to deal with, such as the deployment of various armies, the placement of personnel, the re-division of defense areas, armaments, and cities.

Hongnong County, Jingzhaoyin, Zuofengyi, Youfufeng, forty-seven cities in the four counties, countless pavilions and villages, and more than one million people.

The powerful families are intertwined, entrenched and deeply rooted.

This is not Liangzhou and Bingzhou, where powerful families are not too powerful, but Guanzhong.

The powerful family in Guanzhong, although Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu moved the capital to Luoyang, and the political, economic, and cultural center of the Han Empire shifted eastward, their power is still quite strong.

In the original time and space, Guanzhong experienced the disaster of Dong Zhuo, and experienced the chaos of Li Jue and Guo Si, and a large number of powerful families fled Guanzhong to avoid disaster.

However, after Han Sui and Ma Chao took control of Guanzhong, they still received great help from the surviving powerful families, which is enough to see the background of the powerful families in Guanzhong.

But the background is only the background after all, the powerful family in Guanzhong is after all a tiger whose claws and teeth have been pulled out.

Dong Zhuo, who had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, had no way to resist. The whole Guanzhong killed by the cruel and heartless Li Jue and Guo Si became a sea of ​​flames, and they could only flee with their wealth.

Ritual collapses and music rots, in troubled times, whoever has soldiers is the grass head king.

But now, in the entire Guanzhong, the one with the strongest military strength and the biggest fist is undoubtedly Taipingdao, that is, Xu An.

"How to deal with Chang'an City, I really haven't thought about it yet."

Xu An pondered for a moment, turned his gaze to Yan Zhong, and said truthfully.

"However, I think Mr. Yan must have already prepared a draft for asking such a question."

Dealing with Chang'an City is really not a difficult problem.

Most of Chang'an City are royal palaces, Xu An certainly can't burn all these palaces down like Xiang Yu.

And if these palaces are left vacant, they will have to bear a meaningless repair and maintenance cost every year.

Jinyang in Taiyuan County of Bingzhou is the largest city in Bingzhou, but compared to Chang'an, it is indeed insignificant, and it is inferior to Chang'an in all aspects.

In Chang'an alone, there are nearly [-] registered people.

As for Taiyuan County in Bingzhou, there are now only nearly [-] people in the entire county. This is only after the Yellow Turban Army from the four states entered Bingzhou.

Not to mention the geographical location. Jinyang is located in Bingzhou. Although the official roads of Bingzhou have been repaired, it is considered a remote place at this time, and the transportation is not convenient.

If Xu An still lived in Bingzhou, it would be difficult to fully control the affairs of Liangzhou and Guanzhong.

In Guanzhong, the transportation is convenient and the freight is developed. It is bordered by Liangzhou in the west and Bingzhou in the north.

Whether it is from a strategic point of view or an economic point of view, it is absolutely imperative to move the headquarters of Taiping Road to Guanzhong.

Moreover, this time the troops were dispatched, occupying Guanzhong was not enough, and now Sun Jian and Yuan Shao had already fought the real fire.

Right now is the best opportunity to seize the opportunity to capture Hanoi and Yin and Yin regions in Henan, and take all the original Sili Xiaowei Department into their pockets.

Although the people's livelihood in Luoyang is now declining and ten rooms are empty, even if Sun Jian migrates some Yuzhou residents to the north, it is still a bit desolate.

But the significance of occupying Luoyang is not in wealth, but in population.

Occupying Luoyang, the Yellow Turban Army has a catapult, a big killer, and the Luoyang Eight Passes can be grasped without any suspense.

With the eight gates in hand, you can stay in the gates and defend them when you retreat, and you can attack the four places of Hebei, Yan, Henan, and Jing when you advance.

This is tantamount to firmly holding the initiative of the war in your hands.

"Guanzhong has already entered Duke Ming's pocket, but there are many powerful people in Guanzhong, and there are many aristocratic families, and the forces are intertwined. If there is no Duke Ming sitting in Guanzhong, I am afraid that our military and government orders will greatly hinder us."

"What's more, our army will soon dispatch Henan Yin to attack Luoyang, and Ming Gong will be in Guanzhong to control the frontline intelligence."

"The land in Guanzhong is blocked from three sides and guarded from three sides. Only one side is used to control the princes in the east. If you go down the river, you will be defeated. With Guanzhong as the center, you can connect Liangzhou and Bingzhou to better control the area."

"That's why I believe that, no matter how you look at it, Duke Ming will move his government southward, from Jinyang to Chang'an."

Yan Zhong looked around and continued.

"As for the land in Guanzhong, the most suitable place to serve as a governing place is Chang'an City."

"Duke Ming's worry is that the two palaces of Changle Weiyang were the residence of the Han Emperor. If they live in them, they will inevitably be suspected of being in line with popular customs and polluting the world."

"I have a strategy, which may relieve Duke Ming's worries."

"Also ask Yan Gong to teach me."

Xu An bowed his hands and said in a deep voice.

Yan Zhong took a step to the side, walked to the side of the beams and pillars, and then pointed to the outside of the hall.

"Although the Jinyang government office has been expanded several times, it is still extremely crowded. Even Jinyang City is quite small. If it needs to be developed, it must demolish a lot of residential buildings, demolish the city walls, and build new buildings. This will inevitably consume a lot of money. money, food, manpower and material resources.”

"But now there are ready-made buildings, ready-made garrets, ready-made palaces."

"These palaces were used by the royal family in the past, but they only need to be remodeled to become ready-made government offices and offices."

"The Central Military Office, the Mission Department, the Foreign Affairs Department, the Internal Affairs Department, the Agricultural Administration Department and other departments can all be moved to the Weiyang Palace. The Weiyang Palace occupies a very large area, and there is no need to expand it. It only needs to be remodeled once or twice, and it can be put into use immediately. "

Yan Zhong said calmly with his hands slightly solemn.

Although Chang'an City has not been the imperial capital for a long time, it has been repaired all the time, and after Dong Zhuo hijacked Liu Bian and moved westward, he even made some repairs to the palace.

"It's not majestic, there's no prestige. In the past, Marquis Bing built the Weiyang Palace just to show his power and deter the princes."

"In Weiyang Palace, meeting the envoys of Xianbei, Wuhuan, Xiongnu, Qiangdi and other tribes, more or less, can shock their hearts."

Yan Zhong's eyes flashed, and he said with emotion.

"What's more, Chang'an City was once the imperial capital of the Han court. In the seventh year of Guanghe, a million Yellow Turban Army marched three ways into Luoyang, and they were all defeated. However, Duke Ming defeated Dong Zhuo this time and broke Chang'an in one battle. How could it not be destiny! "

The symbolic meaning of Chang'an is extremely important. Since ancient times, there have been rumors such as "the one who wins Guanzhong wins the world."
"If Duke Ming does not take over Chang'an, then according to the rumors, he will definitely face Duke Ming."

"If Duke Ming doesn't settle down in Chang'an, I'm afraid some folks will think that Duke Ming has not been favored by the destiny, so they dare not..."

Yan Zhong's voice lowered slightly.

Xu An's eyes narrowed slightly. People in the Han Dynasty believed in ghosts and gods, and almost everyone believed in the theory of destiny.

Thanks to "Taiping Dao" and some knowledge of later generations, as well as long-term experience, Xu An is now considered a master of Yin and Yang, and he has done a lot of fake ghosts and gods to help the Tao. He has a certain understanding of his thoughts, and he knows that what Yan Zhong said is correct.

Starting from reality, it is like implementing policies. Some policies may be good governance in some places, but they may not be good governance in another place, and may even turn into bad governance.

Therefore, everything must be adapted to local conditions, to adapt to reality, to adapt to the times.

In fact, in a sense, Xu An is now another kind of loner. Taiping Dao was originally a religion established by Zhang Jiao. They believe in ghosts and gods, and believe in immortals and gods.

After Xu An was promoted to be a great virtuous and good teacher, in order to establish prestige, to build up power, to boost morale and to stabilize people's hearts, he used methods such as military yin and yang, so that layers of aura shrouded him.

According to the rumors, Xu An has been regarded as a god-like existence.

However, unlike the high-ranking emperor, Xu An has always been on the side of the people, and almost every policy he implements is beneficial to the people's livelihood, so Xu An has received more support.

For the emperor, most people may be in awe, but for Xu An, most people are in reverence.

"Tianlu Pavilion and Shiqu Pavilion are the royal book collection pavilions. After Guangwu moved the capital to Luoyang, although many books were taken away, Tianlu Pavilion and Shiqu Pavilion still had copies. This time Wang Yun and others fled in a hurry. In Chang'an City, many books in the two pavilions have been preserved."

After all, Wang Yun, Huangfusong and others were tired of their reputation, so they dared not set fire to these books.

However, it is also possible that they were too hasty and forgot about these collections, so the collections in the two pavilions were cheaper than the Yellow Turban Army.

Shiqu Pavilion is the library of Weiyang Palace. It was built by Prime Minister Xiao He of the Western Han Dynasty and is located in the northwest of Weiyang Palace.Because there is a stone on your side to guide the water for the canal, it is named Shiqu Pavilion.Shiqu Pavilion is the largest collection of books in the country during the Western Han Dynasty.

In the third year of Ganlu Emperor Xuandi of the Han Dynasty (51 BC), he ordered Confucianism to teach the similarities and differences of the Five Classics.

"The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of Zhai Mou" contains: "Xiao Xuan's theory of the Six Classics was in Shiqu, and the scholars flourished, and there were thousands of disciples."

In the middle and late Western Han Dynasty, Shiqu Pavilion became the academic center of the capital again. Confucian scholars of the Han Dynasty participated in the assembly here, and sometimes the emperor would visit Shiqu Pavilion in person.

Tianlu Pavilion, the name of the Weiyang Palace Collection Pavilion, was also built by Xiao He in the early Western Han Dynasty, and it is located in the north of Weiyang Palace.

Tianlu Pavilion got its name from Tianlu, which means Tianlu. People in the Han Dynasty believed that Tianlu was a divine animal symbolizing auspiciousness.

"Sanfu Stories" contains: "Tianlu and Shiqu are the names of the pavilions, in the north of Weiyang Palace, and the secretaries of the pavilions"; during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, "the policy of building a collection of books, the officials who wrote books, and the legends of the scholars are all full-fledged. Secret House".

Almost all the cultural and historical archives and important books of the Han Empire are stored in Tianlu Pavilion. There are more than [-] volumes of books here.

During the reign of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiang, a doctor of Guanglu, and others were ordered to carry out a large-scale sorting and collation of classics here.

Liu Xiang called together outstanding figures in military strategists, historians, stargazers, and medicine, and sorted out the poems and fus of the philosophers, military books, mathematical techniques, and square techniques.

"Every book is completed, Xiang Zhe writes it as a record, discusses its meaning, argues its fallacy, and narrates it." He is also the author of "Bie Lu".

After Liu Xiang's death, his son Liu Xin inherited his father's work and compiled a group of articles into "Seven Strategies", which is also the first catalog of books in China.

"After Minggong moved the government office to Chang'an, he could order craftsmen to print all the classics in these two collections into books, and set up the National Academy in the two pavilions."

Xu An's eyes brightened slightly, he didn't know the situation of Weiyang Palace before.

After what Yan Zhong said, it seems that it really works.

Once Weiyang Palace becomes an office, and a part of it is classified as the National Academy, it will become an enlarged version of the Jinyang government office, and its original mystery will also dissipate.

If the palace is changed to a government office, the palace will not be abandoned and waste money to maintain it.

"However, there is one more problem."

Xu An pondered for a moment, although what Yan Zhong said was good, there was one problem that had not been resolved.

"It is to relocate all the government offices in Jinyang. Weiyang Palace can indeed accommodate them, but how can Changle Palace and Jianzhang Palace be used?"

"Jianzhang Palace has gone through wars and repairs, and now it is no longer as grand as it used to be. Duke Ming can rebuild Zhang Palace into a temple of peace."

"Emperor Wu admired the Tao of Immortals. The tallest building in Jianzhang Palace is the 'Shenming Terrace'. There are nine rooms around it, symbolizing the nine heavens. There were more than a hundred Taoist priests and shamans. Immortals talk to neighbors."

Yan Zhong narrowed his eyes and smiled disdainfully.

"However, if there is a god, then Emperor Wu must still be alive."

When Xu An heard Yan Zhong's sneer, he was also a little emotional. Immortality and boundless life, no one would be moved by it.

Jia Sheng was more incoherent when the propaganda room sought talents to visit the ministers.

Poor Ye Banxu's front seat does not ask the common people or ghosts.

The First Emperor, who had been searching for immortals for many years, had already proved that there is no magic medicine for immortality in this world.

"The two palaces of Guigong and Beigong can also be used as administrative offices. The two palaces were originally the residences of concubines. The specifications of the palaces are not as good as Weiyang Palace, and the buildings are smaller. They can be used as administrative offices not directly under them."

"Mingguang Palace. In the past, Emperor Wu asked for immortals to build Mingguang Palace. It can be used as a preaching place and is open to believers. Minggong can arrange Fu Zhu to explain scriptures and spread morality in Mingguang Palace every week."

"As for the Changle Palace, it seems that it can only be shelved now. After the unification of the world, there will naturally be government offices that can be filled in."

The regulations of Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace are almost the same, even if all the administrative offices of Taiping Road are filled into the two palaces, it will be difficult to fill them, so they can only be reserved for future use.

"Since Lord Yan already has a draft, the transformation of Chang'an City will be handed over to Lord Yan."

With Yan Gong offering advice, Xu An also felt a lot easier.

Yan Zhong bowed his hands and promised, he didn't postpone it, he raised this matter because he was already prepared, the two had been conspiring together for many years, and they had a tacit understanding.

"but……"

Xu An raised his head and looked outside the dark hall of Weiyang Palace, his tone also became cold.

"The name of this Changle Weiyang has also been changed. This Changle Weiyang, this long-lasting joy belongs only to his Liu family, but it is the people all over the world who suffer."

"What should it be called?"

"God."

"God?"

"Being ordered to be upright, obeying the destiny, is to respond to the heaven!"
