Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

"Han Ji Guangwen Emperor Ji": In the 13th year of Jianxing, in February, Zhongzu entered Chang'an, and the prefect Yan Fei surrendered.At the same time on Xinji ([-]th), Zhongzu still lived in Weiyang Palace, and the former general Wang Ping was guarding him, and he replaced Chang'an around.The sergeant did not commit any crimes, the road did not pick up relics, and the people were safe.

It has been more than [-] years since Emperor Xian moved eastward in Chang'an, and it has been more than [-] years since the Eastern Han Dynasty pacified Guanzhong.And this Weiyang Palace, which has been abandoned for nearly half a century, will welcome a new Han emperor again.

In the misty mist of Chang'an, the Immortal Holding Dew stands in front of Weiyang Palace, with dewdrops on his hands dripping slowly on the stone steps.The golden man's eyes stare into the distance, as if traveling through time, recreating the scenes of the rise and fall of the 400 years of the Han Dynasty one by one.

Standing in front of the bronze mirror, Liu Chan stroked a few black strands beside his temples. Looking at his young face in the mirror, he was overjoyed. He thought to himself, "I am 28 years old this year, when I am young and strong, but I have already regained Chang'an. , there can be three of the thirteen states in the world. I just don’t know how long it will take me to calm the world?”

While speaking, Liu Chan couldn't help but think of the time it took for the former founding emperor to rule the world.Qin Huang won the government and destroyed the six kingdoms for sixteen years; the great ancestor Liu Bang raised his troops to rule the world at the age of seven; Guangwu Liu Xiu conquered the north and south for 12 years.

Thinking of this, Liu Chan couldn't help sighing again, he was still too inferior.Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was only 42 years old when he ruled the world.If I can rule the world at his age, it would be great.Counting from now, I still have 14 years left.

"Since this is the case, I will set a small goal, spend 14 years to rule the world, and leave myself 20 years to govern this unified land of China, and create a prosperous age for future generations." Liu Chan said looking at himself in the bronze mirror .

Just when Liu Chan was thinking, the attendant said, "I report to Your Majesty, all ministers, please see me!"

"Let him wait in the hall." Liu Chan replied calmly.

"promise!"

Liu Chan put on his spring clothes, adjusted his clothes, and walked out of the hall slowly.

When Wang Ping, Liao Li, Lu Zhi and others saw Liu Chan coming out of the hall, they saluted and said in unison: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty, may Your Majesty be happy and happy forever!"

This time I finally met, living in Weiyang Palace, can I have a long life~

Liu Chan slightly raised his arm, and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to be polite!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone responded.

Everyone sat down.Lu Zhi stepped out of the line, cupped his hands and said, "I would like to report to Your Majesty, I have received an order to explore the palaces of the Han Dynasty, and I have made some gains. If Your Majesty wants to use Chang'an as the capital, I secretly think that it is necessary to build a new palace before it can be used."

As he spoke, Lu Zhi took out the memorial from his bosom and submitted it to Liu Chan.

"Oh?" Liu Chan took the memorial and exclaimed, "You are so fast!"

Lu Zhi bowed his waist slightly, cupped his hands and said: "I report to Your Majesty, you can get drinking water, Luli, and palaces in the city. The Luli left in the classics, such as Shangguan, Xiucheng, Huangji, Xuanming, Jianyang, Changyin Bei Huan and Bei Huan were all wiped out by the barbarians, and they had their names in the place where they died."

"Most of the city walls of Chang'an were broken. Since Chang'an was destroyed by the Xinmang War, although it was repaired in the later Han Dynasty, since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, and after the Guo Li rebellion, most of the Chang'an city walls were torn down. For example, there are three gates in the Bamen, and they collapsed. There are two gates, only one is usable. It is no longer useful for defending the city, but only for guarding the people.” …

"As for the palace, the Changle Palace is old and weeds are reborn. People even farmed in it, and the narrow palace roads have become wide streets in the city. The beams of the Gui Palace are tilted and it is impossible to live. The main hall of Weiyang Palace where Your Majesty lives is a fake Emperor Cao Rui simply repaired it, and most of the rest of the Weiyang Palace is also dilapidated, and the palace walls are dilapidated."

Lu Zhi's words are simple to understand, that is, Chang'an was already broken during the Xinmang war more than [-] years ago. After the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chang'an was only repaired, and the interior was already old and dilapidated.After Guo Li's rebellion, Chang'an was depopulated, and the pillars of the palace and the city gate collapsed.

Liu Chan frowned slightly, turned to look at Yan Fei, and asked, "Did Yan Qing repair it?"

Yan Fei said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, I am not willing to repair it. When I first arrived in Chang'an, the people were poor, there was no food to go out, there were no cattle and horses at home, the roads were blocked, and the atmosphere was against. Doing all of the family property can make the people feel alive, but the palace is not beneficial to the people, so what's the use of repairing it?"

After a pause, Yan Fei showed embarrassment, and said: "Because Chang'an is dilapidated, it can only be used to calm the people, so we can't stick to it. Therefore, Jiang Ji didn't dare to defend it, so he led his troops to withdraw eastward, and left his ministers in Chang'an."

Han Chang'an is not a simple city. It covers an area of ​​65 square kilometers, equivalent to 84000 acres, and accommodated a population of 500,000 at its peak.

Lu Zhi went on to add: "As for the need to build new palaces, it is because the old palaces mostly live in the south of Chang'an. Chang'an City is low in the southeast and high in the southwest. In the former Han Dynasty, Chang'an was rich in water and soil. During the rainy season, the southeast was humid and shaded, and the southwest was dry and humid. The well water is sweet, so the palace was built here."

"But today is different from the past. Since I can remember things, Guanzhong has become colder and the rainfall is not as much as in the past. Therefore, at this time, the well water in Weiyang Palace is scarce, and it is not easy to fetch water. If you want to build a palace today, you must Take the opposite place of the former Han Dynasty, that is, the southeast of the city is the land of the palace, so that the water for the palace can be satisfied."

This is one of the negative effects brought about by the Little Ice Age. The water level of the underground river dropped, which led to a conversion of the original suitable land and unsuitable land in the Western Han Dynasty.Of course, it is limited to the imperial palace, a group with a large number of people's domestic water.If it is the life of ordinary people, there is basically no problem.

In history, the Sixteen Kingdoms also abandoned the original site of the Western Han Palace for the reason mentioned by Lu Zhi, and built a small city in the southeast corner for the purpose of the imperial palace.Therefore, the abandonment of Han Chang'an was not without reason.

When Liu Chan heard that a new palace was to be built, he frowned slightly and said, "Forget it, now that Chang'an has been settled for the first time and the war has not subsided, let's not discuss the matter of the new palace for the time being. I ordered people to repair the main hall, and I live here occasionally. It doesn't affect my daily life. Can."

As he said that, Liu Chan looked at Lu Zhi and praised him: "Qing took charge of himself, and within three days, he was able to speak out about the pros and cons of the palace. It's very good. I will reward Lu Qing with a hundred pieces of Shu brocade."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Zhi replied.

Seeing this scene, Liao Li and Guan Xing looked at each other, feeling that Lu Zhi was too efficient in doing things.Well said!
After Lu Zhi finished reporting, Liao Li went out to report and said: "Your Majesty, I have ordered people to rebuild the twelve chambers of the Gaomiao. The three temples of Emperor Gao, Emperor Xiaowen, and Emperor Xiaojing have been cleaned up. First, only His Majesty will come to offer sacrifices." Wow, to comfort the Twelve Emperors of the former Han Dynasty.” …

There were twelve emperors and eleven temples in the Western Han Dynasty.After Xinmang's rebellion, Emperor Guangwu went to Chang'an. Seeing that the palaces and palaces were completely ruined and the ancestral temple was a ruin, he gathered ten temples into the Gaomiao to make one temple, divided into twelve rooms, and worshiped the twelve emperors of the Western Han Dynasty.

Liu Chan nodded in satisfaction, and said, "There's no rush. I'll wait for the chariot-riding general and the prime minister to return to the teacher. I will bring civil and military weapons to sacrifice together."

After a pause, Liu Chan asked, "How is the situation in Guanzhong today?"

The former general Wang Ping heard the words, stepped out in tiger steps, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, according to the military report last night, Jiang Wei led his army to repel Leqi and keep the people in Shangluo and Shang counties safe, but they were moved by Lechen for more than two thousand people. surname."

"Jiang Ji wanted to move more than 5000 people from Zheng County and Huayin to Hongnong. The chariot general sent Wei Yan to pursue Jiang Ji, but was repelled by Jiang Ji's army. The chariot general led the crowd to approach, and Jiang Ji's army was defeated and retreated. Fortunately, the Yang family of Hongnong raised their clansmen to resist. Jiang Ji moved [-] people into Tongguan."

The Yang family of Hongnong is the Yang family of the fourth generation and three lords. Its members include Taiwei Yang Biao and Yang Xiu of the late Han Dynasty, all of whom are members of the same family.

As for the Yang family's rebellion against Jiang Ji, it is not difficult to understand. Yang Biao claimed to be a Han minister and never served Cao Wei all his life.Cao Cao was a little afraid of this old man. He finally put Yang Biao in prison, but he aroused public outrage and had to release him.

Not to mention Yang Xiu, Cao Wei was killed by Cao Cao when he became an official, which made Hongnong Yang's loyalty to Cao Wei.Moreover, Cao Wei did not re-use the Hongnong Yang family in any way, and it did not change until the Sima family came to power.That's why when the big man conquered Chang'an again, how could the Yang family not respond!
"Sima Yi wanted to move the people of Zuo Fengyi to the east of the river, and the prime minister led the army to pursue them. He defeated Deng Xian and stabilized Lian Shao. He crossed Luoshui to encircle the Jin Dynasty and surrendered to the Jin Dynasty. Sima Yi moved the people of Heyang, Xiayang and other counties to the Hedong, about There were 8000 people. The Wei army agreed to relocate about 5000 people from Guanzhong.” Wang Ping said.

According to the battle report, Wang Ping said truthfully: "According to the battle report ahead, the prime minister and the chariot general will be able to return to Chang'an within about five days."

Hearing that more than [-] people were relocated by Cao Wei, Liu Chan couldn't help but feel pain in his heart.

Liu Chan calmed down and said in a deep voice: "In this case, after eight days, I will go to the Gaomiao with all the ministers, and burn it in the sky to comfort the spirit of the late emperor."

"promise!"
