Since the policy of setting the capital of the Han Dynasty in Chang'an was determined, Jushou, Tian Feng, Xu Huang, and Zhao Yun have begun to plan this important event. These four people have also heard Liu Xin talk about "Golden Armored Gods". The four people in the story, in their minds, have long regarded Liu Xin as the emperor of the true dragon.
In order to ensure that Liu Xin successfully ascended the throne, they did a lot of preparatory work, including the preparation of the ceremony, the selection of representatives to persuade, and the timing of the Queen Mother He’s handing over the Jade Seal to Liu Xin. They all had a thorough and detailed plan, especially in the selection of representatives. Above, almost all classes are included, including representatives of the government and the military, former officials of the previous dynasty, prominent families of various states and counties, as well as common people.
As more and more people arrive in Chang'an City, the security work in the city has become more and more important, especially the guards of the gates are the most important, so the work that originally only needed the school lieutenant to complete, now it is all Generals such as Zhang Fei and Zhang Xi personally took the post,
Originally, Liu Xin was the protagonist of this matter. Not only should Jushou and Tian Feng not hide from Liu Xin, they should report the progress of the matter to Liu Xin in time and take Liu Xin’s opinion as the leading factor. But this is not the case. Can't do this,
Five years ago, when Dong Zhuo abolished Liu Bianli and Liu Xie, Liu Xin once issued a statement that he did not recognize Liu Xie’s emperor status. Liu Xin did so because he had anticipated that there would be an emperor in the future. The situation of the princes happened,
Liu Xin could not hold the emperor, because he was a Han family clan. Even if he hijacked Liu Xie, he could only do his best to protect Liu Xie, but could not replace it. Therefore, even if the emperor was held in the future so that the princes were not Cao Yu will be someone else, but it is absolutely impossible to be Liu Xin, so Liu Xin must first make a statement like this, telling the person who held the emperor to make the princes, the person you held is not the emperor in my eyes. , How can you order me,
There was nothing wrong with this statement, but the key is in the latter sentence, when the world is settled, another Mingjun will be established. When this statement was issued, Liu Xin only occupied Jingzhou, and what he adopted was also "high construction". He added such a sentence to avoid becoming the target of other princes, so as to gain enough space and time for the development of Jingzhou. However, no one thought that things would develop. So fast, in just five years, Liu Xin has occupied most of the country, even restored the Western Regions Protectorate, and controlled the Xiongnu grassland. He has reached the point where he must be an emperor.
At this time, the sentence that was added in order to be unobtrusive became the bondage of Liu Xin's proclaiming emperor. Because the world values faith and righteousness, people will not stand if they do not believe it. If Liu Xin proclaims emperor rashly, he will be deprived of it. People think it’s not keeping promises,
Under such circumstances, Jushou, Tian Feng and the others had to stand up and put on a posture that they were forcing Liu Xin to proclaim emperor, and took the "crime" of not keeping promises on themselves.
Faced with Liu Xin’s question, Zhang Yun was speechless, not knowing whether he should tell Liu Xin the truth, or continue to conceal it, and he was in a dilemma.
Jushou also didn't expect Zhang Xi to stand at the gate of the city as if he was facing an enemy, so he had no choice but to say, "General Zhang, the lord already knows."
Zhang Xi handed over his hands and said: "Master, in a very period of time, I fear that there will be a small person taking the opportunity to make trouble, so the general and others will come to the city defense, disturbing the Lord, and committing a capital crime."
Liu Xin guessed the reason for Zhang Xi's presence here, his complexion softened a little, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go, let me take a look on the tower."
Chang'an City was originally the old capital of the Han Dynasty. This time it was built and expanded a lot on the original basis. It is divided into three parts: the palace city, the inner city, and the outer city.
Miyagi was built on the basis of the old imperial palace, but the palace wall was built to be tall and strong, comparable to the city wall, so it was called Miyagi. According to all the requirements of Liu Xin's simplicity, the imperial palace was not luxuriously built, it was a bit similar to the Zhou Mu in Xiangyang. It’s just that the scale has been expanded several times, and there are three halls for special meetings in front of it.
The inner city occupies a large area, almost reaching the scope of a Xiangyang city. It is not only the center of Chang'an, but also the center of the entire Han Dynasty. The six branches and the cabinet yamen are located in the inner city, and many ministers’ official residences are also built in it. city,
The outer city is where the people of Chang'an live. Rich gentry everywhere can only buy land and build houses in the outer city. The area of the outer city is about three times the sum of the inner city and Miyagi. Less than 30%, so looking from the top of the city, many places in the city are still empty.
This is also no way. Since the beginning of the chaos, the city of Chang'an has been destroyed by war, and has never been able to recover. Although Dong Zhuo once moved the capital of the Han Dynasty to Chang'an, the world was already in chaos at this time, and the princes did not obey orders. In the imperial court, the ministers of the imperial court were almost unable to issue their salary, not to mention the construction of Chang'an City. The dilapidated city, the depressed economy, coupled with the brutal rulers, it is a miracle that the population of the city can be maintained without declining. Now, growth is absolutely impossible,
Later, Liu Xin defeated Dong Zhuo, occupied Sili, and determined that Chang'an was the capital of the Han Dynasty. At this time, Liu Xin silently made up his mind to make Chang'an the greatest in the world, capable of accommodating millions of people. There was no city, so Liu Xin started the vast project of building a new Chang'an. The project originally planned to be completed in one year, due to factors such as manpower, capital, and materials, took a full two years before the three walls were basically completed. Regardless of the inner city, outer city or Miyagi, there are large vacancies that have not been built. However, in this way, it also leaves room for the future development of the city.
The construction concept of Chang'an City is absolutely advanced.
The main road is wide and flat, enough for four carriages to pass side by side. On both sides of the main road are tall sidewalk trees, and there is a walking path paved with bluestone outside. A bronze flagpole is erected between the two sidewalk trees. Of course, this flagpole is not The ones used to hang flags are used to hang lanterns. Every day when night falls, the lanterns on the bronze flagpoles on both sides are lit together, which can illuminate the whole street like daylight. Chang'an will become the first city in history to be equipped with street lamps.
Chang'an City has also built complete drainage facilities. The well-connected sewers make up the huge underground facilities of Chang'an City. These sewers are as high as one person and are built with granite around them. Even a carriage can be passed in between, even if it rains heavily. , Chang’an City will not experience waterlogging,
In addition to streets and drainage systems, Chang’an City has also built special markets, commercial centers, and large public green spaces. As long as the management is regulated, Chang’an City will become the most livable city in the world.
The brand-new Chang'an City is like a plane tree planted by Liu Xin, and the people in all directions are like a golden phoenix waiting to build a nest. With the plane tree, are you afraid that the golden phoenix will not be attracted? With the officials and troops stationed at the Yamen, the true population of Chang'an City is less than 200,000, far less than Xiangyang City, but Liu Xin has reason to believe that the population of Chang'an City will explode soon. At that time, the popularity will definitely rise,
At this time, the soldiers stationed in the East Gate area had assembled and entered their respective outposts. All over the city were soldiers standing straight like javelins. Outside the East Gate, there were 10,000 Cavalrymen of the First Army and five thousand soldiers. The guards of the famous flying tigers are divided into three huge army formations. A total of 15,000 sturdy soldiers and 15,000 horses of the gods are silent, which shows that they are an elite division.
Zhang Xi had been following Liu Xin. Seeing that he had inspected Chang'an's city defenses, he turned his eyes to the outside of the city and looked at the army under the city. He couldn't help but cautiously said: "Master, do you want to call them all over?"
Actually, Zhang Xi’s original intention was to inform others that Liu Xin had already arrived in Chang'an, and the city of Chang'an was too big. Just now the defenders at the east gate blew the warning horn, but the sound was not enough to reach the other three gates. To notify other people, a messenger must be sent over, but after Liu Xin entered the city, he rejected Zhang Xi’s proposal.
Liu Xin waved her hand and said, "No, I will go straight over for a while. Now, I want to say a few words to the soldiers on the city."
At this time, the sky was gradually brightening, and the first ray of sunlight burst out on the eastern horizon, shining on the majestic Chang'an City. Standing on the top of the city, Liu Xin seemed to be covered with a layer of gold under the sunshine. His coat is like a man of golden armor who descends from the mortal world, majestic and majestic,
Liu Xin looked around at the soldiers around him, then turned his gaze down the city, holding the arrow with one hand and pointing to the northeast direction, and said loudly: "Soldiers, there is a protracted battle going on there. Countless lives are lost every day. These people are the people of my big man, our compatriots and brothers. As soldiers of the big man, we have the responsibility to save them."
When he said these words, Liu Xin secretly used his inner strength. It sounded that his voice was not loud, but his surname was very penetrating. The soldiers above and below the city could hear clearly, even in the city of Chang'an behind him. The people who got up early could also hear Liu Xin's voice on the city's head, and looked towards this side one after another.
These words made the soldiers enthusiastic. They raised their swords and guns in their hands and shouted in unison: "Save, save."
Liu Xin lightly pressed his hands on the void, and the city immediately returned to silence again. Liu Xin's complexion suddenly condensed and continued: "On the way Liu came from Xiangyang, I received two emergency military information. These two Fengjun’s sentiment was really urgent. One was from Jiuyuan City. The report stated that Yuan Shao of Jizhou had sent envoys to the northern grasslands to transfer the Xianbei and Wuheng forces into the Central Plains to participate in the war. Another was from Jiuyuan. Cao Hua has also sent people to contact the Xiongnu leaders and asked the Xiongnu to send troops to help them, and promised to grant the Xiongnu autonomy when things are done."
