Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 750 New Palace
(ps: Previously Lu Gongsun Ba was changed to Yue Gongsun Ba)
"Guan Shizhong, long time no see but how are you doing?"

Guan Xing entered the palace to wait for the emperor to be summoned. At the same time, he also met the secretary supervisor, Lang Guan and other colleagues. Yin Li, who had been helped by Guan Xing, greeted him and said, "Is Guan Shizhong entering the palace to offer the method of moving the capital to Chang'an?"

Guan Xing, who continued to grow his beard, returned the gift, cupped his hands and replied, "Exactly. I don't know what's going on in the country recently?"

Yin Li stood by Guan Xing's side and chatted, "In addition to promoting the examination method, I also rest with the people, and occasionally use the matter of Wu Guo's seizure of the throne as a small talk."

"Seize the throne?"

"Hmm!" Yin Li recounted the dispute between the two palaces of Wu State indifferently, and said, "Gongsun Ba of Yue of Wu State wants to compete with Prince Wu's grandson He for the crown prince."

Guan Xing stroked his beard and said, "It's hard to be a virtuous heir."

Yin Li came from the state of Wu. Although he surrendered to the great Han, he was appointed as a servant.But it doesn't mean that he doesn't have feelings for Wu Guo. Seeing everyone make fun of Wu Guo with the mentality of watching a drama, and even bring him with him, this kind of feeling is really uncomfortable.

But what could he do?I am just a subordinate, although I am appreciated by His Majesty, I can't talk to His Majesty because of my colleague relationship, but I will come to His Majesty to think that he is not capable.

Yin Li sighed, and said: "It's good to get used to it, and serve the Han Dynasty together."

Guan Xing patted Yin Li's arm, and said: "Brother Yin, if you feel unwell, you can go with Guan. That fellow Liao Li is narrow-minded and bullies the weak and fears the hard. With Guan, Liao Li should not dare to say too much."

The one who can squeeze out the newcomer Yin Li is Liao Li who is in charge of the secretary supervisor, otherwise who else.In the past, with Dong Yun around, Liao Li didn't dare to go too far.Now that Dong Yun and Fei Yi are all outsiders, naturally Liao Li dominates.However, there is still interest in it, which can also make Liao Li jealous.

After all, Guan Xing is indeed not as good as Liao Li in terms of seniority, but in terms of personal connections and family background, Guan Xing is really not afraid of Liao Li.Moreover, Guan Xing was highly valued by Liu Chan. Not only did he serve in the army, he also handled the strategy of moving the capital this time.

"Thank you Guan servant."

After a long while, Liu Chan finally came late, Guan Xing also went up to greet him, saluted and said: "The minister Guan Xing pays homage to His Majesty, and may His Majesty be blessed and live forever."

Liu Chan helped Guan Xing up and said, "I've been running around for half a year, and I've got to work to bring peace to the country."

"Don't dare."

Liu Chan sat on the couch, motioned Guan Xing to sit down too, and asked, "Does Anguo have any opinion on the matter of moving the capital?"

Guan Xing took out a thick scarf from his cuff and handed it to the attendant, who put it in Liu Chan's hands, saying, "I report to Your Majesty, I have been exploring Chang'an for half a year, and I have three strategies for your Majesty's decision."

"The minister inspected the drinking water in Chang'an City, Luli, palaces, and palaces. As far as drinking water is concerned, the well water in Weiyang Palace is scarce, and it is not easy to fetch water. It is inconvenient to draw water, and some of the well water is bitter and difficult to drink. Talking about the land in Luli , such as Shangguan, Xiucheng, Huangji, Xuanming, Jianyang, Changyin, Beihuan and other place names are all abandoned today, and only in the classics can we search for their names."

"If you talk about the palace, the Changle Palace is old and dilapidated, and the beams of the Gui Palace are tilted. Your Majesty made a brief repair after the last visit, because the palace walls are dilapidated. If you move the capital and stay in Changle, Weiyang needs to rebuild the palace..." Guan Xing said .

The exploration conducted by Guan Xing included a more detailed analysis than last time in Luzhi, and a clear analysis of the layout and geographical conditions of Chang'an City.

During the Western Han Dynasty, due to the warm climate in Guanzhong, Chang'an City was low in the southeast and high in the southwest, so the Weiyang and Changle Palaces were built in the south without preventing the rainy season from being humid and cloudy.Today, during the Little Ice Age, the southeast direction is low-lying, but there is plenty of rain, and there is no trouble of water shortage.

In terms of transportation, Chang'an City has twelve city gates, and three gates collapsed in the last years of Wang Mang. The Eastern Han Dynasty and Cao Wei did not repair them, but were directly abandoned.Only Xuanping Gate in the northeast corner, because of its important location, convenient transportation, and frequent access, even suffered war and destruction, it is constantly being rebuilt.

And because the palace is flat and the water conservancy is good, some people even farm in the Changle and Weiyang palaces in the south of the city.The last time Liu Chan entered Chang'an Palace, he did not drive out the people, but allowed them to farm in the palace.

Listening to Guan Xing's introduction, Liu Chan also had an in-depth understanding of Chang'an's internal affairs, and asked, "I don't know what are the three strategies for An Guo?"

Guan Xing cupped his hands slightly, and said: "The three ministers are divided into upper, middle and lower. The best policy is to build another Chang'an New City. Its layout and site selection have been briefly mentioned in Shunei."

Liu Chan turned a page back, seeing the layout of the new Chang'an City planned by Guan Xing, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then he liked the palace above.

Guan Xing didn't stay in Chang'an for half a year. They reselected a new city location for Dahan.Moreover, Guan Xing also designed a set for the Han Dynasty based on the palace built by Cao Wei in Luoyang. In terms of scale and grandeur, it should be comparable to Cao Wei's palace.

Liu Chan looked at it a few more times, but thinking about the reality, he could only look away from it, and said: "It is good to build a new city and palace, but I don't know how much corvee will be required and how much food will be spent. Today, the restoration of the Central Plains is the priority. , and the proposal to build another new city will be postponed for the time being.”

"What's the strategy for middle and bottom?"

Guan Xing unhurriedly handed over another scarf and said, "My Majesty, the central policy is to build another palace city in the northeast corner, north of Xuanpingmen Street. Build a city wall outside and a palace inside. Fend off the enemy bandits."

Liu Chan looked at the middle strategy proposal on the memorial, and asked casually, "Why is the worst strategy?"

"Without others, on the old palace in Chang'an, where it is easy to get water, it will cost a lot to rebuild the palace and dredge the palace roads." Guan Xing replied.

Liu Chan pondered for a while, and said: "Although the Great Han inherited the Han Dynasty, the former Han is the father and the later Han is the elder brother. In fact, my Great Han is a new dynasty, and it is inappropriate to rebuild palaces and temples on the old palaces. Therefore, it can be used in China. The plan is to build a small city in the northeast of the city, and build a palace and temple inside."

Guan Xing's bad strategy was really a bad strategy. Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace are so big, I don't know how much it will cost to rebuild.And if it's the construction part, it's really ugly, and it doesn't feel like a palace at all.

Zhongce’s plan of relocating a palace is much better. A palace that is only half of Weiyang Palace is built, and a city wall is placed on the outside. It not only has a defensive function, but also completes the role of housing Liu Chan and his harem. The problem of difficulty in collecting water in the city.

After all, rebuilding the palaces of the former Han Dynasty and rebuilding Chang'an City is too labor-intensive. In order to reproduce the magnificence of the Han Palace, Shihu of the Sixteen Kingdoms sent 16 people from Yong, Liang, Luo, and Bing to renovate Chang'an City.As a result, not long after the completion of the repair, Zhao Guo was also in chaos.

According to Guan Xing's central policy, rebuilding a small-scale palace city is enough to meet the needs of the Han Dynasty's ruling center and civil and military discussions. We will discuss the new Chang'an City after the world is unified.

After a pause, Liu Chan asked what he cared about the most, and said, "If we build the palace city, I don't know how many people will be needed, and how long it will take. When will I be able to move to Chang'an?"

Guan Xing stroked his beard and said: "Your Majesty, I have calculated that if the palace city is built, the south of the city can share a wall with the north city of Luoyang, and the east, west, and north walls can be rebuilt. According to the palace regulations, it can be divided into East and West Palaces. The main hall of the East Palace is called the Taiji Palace, which can be used as the residence of the three dynasties of the Han Dynasty, but there is no way to sleep. The five small bedrooms can be located in the East Palace, and separate palaces..."

The imperial palace should meet the plan of "three dynasties and six bedrooms". The three dynasties are the Great Dynasty, the Zhi Dynasty, and the Japanese Dynasty;

The Dachao is a place for discussing state affairs, handling prison lawsuits, promulgating decrees, and holding grand ceremonies. It is the place where ministers discuss affairs and hold appointments and banquets.

The road bedroom is the place where the emperor rests and can also govern.As for the small bedroom, it is the five major bedrooms where the harem lives, and the two are collectively called the six bedrooms.

Of course, there is also the design and structure of the East and West Palaces. The East and West Palaces in the Western Han Dynasty were Changle and Weiyang Palaces, and the sum of Liu Chan’s East and West Palaces was only half of the Weiyang Palace in the Western Han Dynasty. It can be seen that the scale of the Western Han Palace is extremely magnificent. magnificent.

"According to the above arrangement, I thought that it would take four to five months for [-] people to complete the construction. The palace beams, bluestones, palace walls, tiles, etc. can be obtained from the four palaces of Chang'an Neigui Palace, Weiyang Palace, and Changle Palace. If there is a shortage, it can be prepared by Guanzhong or Longxi." Guan Xing said.

There is no way, there are too many palaces built in the former Han Dynasty, and their scale is several times that of the palace city currently built by the Han Dynasty. Many building materials can be used in the construction of the new palace.

"Okay!" Liu Chan made a decision and said, "Using the middle strategy to build the palace city."
