Guan Yu came to this Weiyang Palace, in this royal palace, personally feel the ancient culture and profound heritage of this palace, at this time the Weiyang Palace still preserves a lot of primitive culture, these are the precious cultural wealth left by the Western Han Dynasty, is modern can not be felt, at this time wandering in the Weiyang Palace deeply feel the Western Han Dynasty culture is profound, this is simply a cultural treasure: the picture scroll is so beautiful, the landscape everywhere is so chic and classic, The buildings are so elegant and beautiful, all of which makes Guan Yu, a cloth from the grassroots, how can he not linger?

At the same time, Guan Yu is also confessing his ambition to everyone, his determination to command the world to dominate the country, he also has to observe everyone's attitude, to see what their attitude is towards his "quasi-behavior" to be called the emperor, is it opposed? Or is it in favor? Or is it indifferent? Or something else, of course, this is still far from him being called emperor, of course, in the eyes of outsiders, this may not be anything special, since Chang'an has been taken, Chang'an City is occupied for himself, no matter where it is reasonable, maybe others will not think too much, but as Guan Yu, who has been mixed in the officialdom for many years, put on this move and is very important, if a discerning person will know his intentions, this requires enough wisdom and sensitivity to politics (to be continued......
