Changan.

In this world turmoil in the New Han Dynasty, there are few cities that have not been affected, and several ancient cities with special significance are even more unavoidable.

Chang'an is one of them.

Not to mention that there were waves in Chang'an at the beginning, let's just say that the three kings forced the first emperor to move the capital, and there was an accident halfway, and then the two kings entered Chang'an, but they have turned weak, and many warlords and ethnic groups in the prison are mainly anti-guest.

In the end, in order to maintain their fragile power and balance, the two kings even chose to promote Buddhism.

Such changes, from the population, to the political structure, and finally to the ideological field, can be said to have been impacted, so that after the Xuanjia Army took over, the situation in this pass was difficult to calm down for a while.

Therefore, when Chen Zhi chose Chang'an as the new capital and asked the imperial court to start preparing for the relocation of the capital, many people were a little surprised.

However, after a little thought, they felt that it made sense, and they thought that they had a set of reasons that made sense.

Although they didn't know that in the original history, because of the rise of the Xungui group in Guanzhong and the correlation between the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Chang'an, as the capital of the Tang Dynasty, continued to prosper for hundreds of years.

But even now, this place is still a very ideal place for Chen Zhi.

The key reason is that Guanzhong has become a mess due to tossing back and forth, whether it is the strength of the family, the Hu tribe, or the religious forces, because of the relationship between each other, each of them has suffered heavy losses and is incomplete.

"This kind of situation in Guanzhong is actually better than Youzhou at the beginning, this is the center of the world, the geographical location and population, it is not comparable to Youzhou, and when I got Youzhou, the force was not strong enough, although relying on the benefits of Xuanjia, a lot of obstacles were cleared, but in fact, there are still compromises, but now it is different!"

Faced with some people who had recently taken refuge in the Xuanjia Army in the north, or who had long been in contact with the Xuanjia Army in the north, Chen Zhi revealed some content to them openly.

Among these people, Zhang Ying and Yu Liang are included.

They all have families behind them, and unlike other people who take refuge, they can't help but think more about everything, so they will find Chen Zhi, and if they want to find out what this champion Hou thinks, their family can lay out in advance.

As the two who played a huge role in Xuanjia's journey south, they certainly thought they were qualified to know the inside story in advance.

But now after hearing Chen Zhi's words, this group of people just felt a chill in their hearts.

How could they not hear the underlying meaning of the words?

That meaning is already very explicit - Guanzhong is convenient for this champion Hou to carry out a complete transformation!

To what extent?

These people don't know and can't guess it, but listening to the meaning of Chen Zhi's words, they still know very well that in Chen Zhi's plan, the transformation of Guanzhong will at least not be lower than Youzhou.

What is the situation in Youzhou, they still know it, not to mention anything else, at least the family is strictly suppressed inside, it is a bit exaggerated to say that it is difficult to move an inch, but it is restricted everywhere.

If it weren't for this, the Jiangzuo family would not have been so resistant to the north before, so that in the end they had to suppress the spread of Chen Xue, deliberately distorting it, in fact, the root cause was hostility towards the Chen family.

Where does this hostility come from?

It is precisely because of Chen Zhi's policies in Youzhou that many of them have shaken the foundation and interests of the family, of course they will not like it, so they will be more united around the Jiangzuo court.

It's a pity that Chen Zhi has now become a general trend, and there is no need to win over the scholars in the south, but he relied on the soldiers and horses to push the south of the Yangtze River, and even took advantage of Wang Dun's rebellion to take Jiankang City bloodlessly.

At this point, all kinds of hostility and resistance of these families have become castles in the air, and they are no longer useful. Even, they have to turn around, and be afraid of what they have done in the past.

Fortunately, Chen Zhi had no intention of pursuing it, and even made a clear order, saying that he would not be punished for his words.

Whether this is true or not, it is more or less an attitude, which reassures many family members, and then they also died down and did not attack the Chen family much, in order to avoid hidden dangers in the future, these people are also cautious in their words and deeds, and no longer do provocative things.

But there are also those madmen who, although they no longer attack Chen's private virtues, still distort and tamper with Chen's teachings, and try to spread them.

It's just that many students are afraid to listen to their preaching because of the majesty of Chen Zhi.

Someone said that this matter was brought to Chen Zhi and asked him to decide whether to arrest these madmen, but Chen Zhi just waved his hand and let the distorted version of Chen Xue spread.

The people below couldn't figure out what Chen Zhi meant, so they had to ignore it, but one thing was very clear, that is, Chen Zhi was not indulging in the family, but had the intention to live a good life.

This Jiangzuo family was waiting to be stabbed on the head, but the news of the relocation of the capital suddenly popped up, and his heart was really complicated.

On the one hand, this matter seems to have temporarily freed them from danger, as long as the center of gravity of the ruling is gone, they will be marginalized, and they will not encounter the fate of the family on the other side of Youzhou.

But on the other hand, being marginalized is also a problem in itself, making it difficult for them to choose.

However, if they were asked to accompany Chen Zhi to move the capital together, they would never be willing, and they also felt that Chen Zhi would not have such a request.

Especially when Zhang Ying and them left, the news spread in the city, and many people were even more relieved.

After all, if you want to renovate Guanzhong, you will definitely have to flatten the family over there, and it's too late to rule it out, so how can you migrate from somewhere else?

Unexpectedly, as soon as they were relieved, there was a news from the imperial court over there, saying that they were going to restore the ancient system and move the world's big households to Gyeonggi.

As soon as this news came out, it was immediately like a thunderbolt from the sky, shaking the families everywhere, especially the recent Jiangzuo clan, and then they were panicked and panicked!

It is said that it is news from the imperial court, but the current imperial court is completely controlled by Chen Zhi, which is actually what Chen Zhi meant.

Since it is Chen Zhi's meaning, then the opposition of other people is meaningless, because they can't deal with Chen Zhi at this time!

And what does the so-called ancient system mean?

That is a fatal system, it is the Han court in order to restrain the world's wealthy families, so the method of regularly cutting leeks, simply put, is every once in a while, or when the new emperor ascends the throne, the famous families in various places are forcibly moved to the capital around the capital.

In this way, even if their local foundation is not abolished, it is still ruined and easy to be subverted by latecomers.

And once they get to the vicinity of the capital, the lives of these wealthy families in various places are not in their hands.

It's just that with the decline of the authority of the imperial court, especially after several wars, this system has existed in name only, and by the time of the New Han Dynasty, it had long been thrown into the dustbin of history.

If it weren't mentioned now, I'm afraid it would have been forgotten, and no one would have thought about it.

How can they endure this kind of major event related to the rise and fall of the family?

Therefore, even if they knew that Chen Zhi was powerful, these families decided to fight.
