"King Hengwu has arrived!"

With a shout from the guards, Shang Ji walked into the hall. In the hall, Lu Bu, Yamatai, Diao Chan, Liu Yi, Deng Yan, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and other important figures in the Shang Army's sphere of influence all came, and even Yuan Shao, who had been sick and was rumored to be dying, arrived.

The hall that can accommodate hundreds of people is full, and any of them can be pulled out by a big person, the kind that can shake three times when he stomps his feet.

"We will welcome King Hengwu."

As Shang Ji entered the hall, everyone got up at the same time, bowed down and said.

"Everyone, give me a seat!"

Shang Ji said loudly, waving his hand to signal everyone to sit down.

After everyone sat down, Shang Ji looked at Yuan Shao, who was not far from the left and right, and asked with a smile: "Originally, have you been feeling better recently?" ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Yuan Shao was just about to speak, but he couldn't help but let out a series of violent coughs, slowed down for a while, and said with a somewhat pale face: "Thanks to the blessing of the king, Shao has been much better recently." ”

"That's good, the governance of this world is inseparable from the original help!"

Shang Ji smiled and nodded, and said quite kindly.

"The king praised falsely, and he didn't dare to be ashamed."

"Ahem......"

In fact, Yuan Shao's health is far from as good as he appeared, according to the report of the doctor who treated Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao now has only one breath left, completely supported by expensive supplements, and may drive west at any time.

Speaking of which, among the three princes who surrendered, Diao Chan was treated the best, and he was already the third lady of the Hengwu Palace, and the generals under his command had also been properly settled, and ordinary people did not dare to make things difficult.

Lu Bu is also okay, relying on his previous friendship with Shang Ji, coupled with the higher average quality of Lu Bu's army, Lu Bu is also a big mountain in Shang Ji's army.

The worst thing is Yuan Shao, because Yuan Shao's army surrendered after being cornered, and the treatment is far from the Diao Chan army and Lu Bu's army, not to mention that the Jizhou soldiers have been largely dismantled, and the army under his command has also been completely scattered and reorganized, and the Jizhou generals have also been scattered and scattered, and there are all parts of the world, the south and the north.

Yuan Shao himself was also incorporated, and he was completely incomparable with Diao Chan and Lu Bu.

Now, Yuan Shao came here with his body that had run out of oil and lamp, not for anything else, but because the topic to be discussed today was so important that Yuan Shao, who was terminally ill, was unwilling to give up.

"Alright, now that everyone is here, let's start now!"

Shang Ji looked around at everyone and said loudly.

Deng Yan immediately got up and continued: "I bother you to take time out of your busy schedules to come here today, just to discuss where the respected King Hengwu has chosen!" ”

The Hengwu Kingdom is the fief demarcated by Shang Ji when he was crowned King Hengwu, and it is actually the actual control area of the Shang Army.

Speaking of which, Liu Wei is also the most defeated emperor, at least nominally, directly canonizing more than half of the country to Shangji, such a feat is unprecedented.

Listening to what Deng Yan said, everyone present sat up straight unconsciously.

It is said to be the country of Hengwu, but judging from the current situation, it is actually the imperial capital of the future Shang Empire, and no matter what era, the choice of the national capital involves countless interests, and even directly related to the fortunes of the country.

It is precisely because of this that Yuan Shao will drag his half-crippled body to the meeting.

"The king is graceful, in the humble opinion of his subordinates, Xiangping City is prosperous and gorgeous, full of vitality, and the promotion to the emperor-level city is just around the corner, and it is the land of the lord's hidden dragon, which should be called the royal capital."

As soon as Deng Yan's words fell, Su Huan immediately couldn't wait to get up and say.

At the same time, a large number of generals and ministers echoed Su Huan's proposal, including many veteran ministers.

Most of these people are veterans from Liaodong, such as Gao Xiang, Zhao Shen and others, who grew up in Liaodong since they were children, and they have also witnessed the development of Xiangping and have deep personal feelings for Xiangping.

Among the several alternatives to the royal capital, Xiangping ranked first.

But including Su Huan, almost all the core generals understood that Xiangping could not become the royal capital.

The geographical location of Xiangping is really not good, it is located in the northeast corner of Huaxia District, as a farming place in the early stage of the hegemony is of course very suitable, but as the Shang Ji control area is getting bigger and bigger, the defects of Xiangping's geographical location have begun to slowly be exposed.

In any era and under any circumstances, the wider the scope of the imperial capital, the more solid the rule of this empire will be. Even in modern societies where communications are extremely developed, the state not only plays a central role, but also gives people a spiritual hint.

The imperial capital in the corners and the imperial capital in the center of the empire give people a completely different feeling.

The combat effectiveness of the different levels of troops in the beacon is very different, and the Praetorian Guard is the first combat strength. As the name suggests, the Praetorian Guard must be stationed in the imperial capital, if Xiangping is chosen as the imperial capital, there is a rebellion in the southern region, how long will it take to mobilize troops from the center and rush to the battlefield?

The military situation is urgent, and this time is likely to allow an easily extinguished rebellion to grow into chaos that shakes the foundations of the Empire.

Therefore, even Shang Ji was a little reluctant, but he also knew that Xiangping could not be the imperial capital.

Su Huan himself also understands that he is a little unwilling!

"The imperial capital is the foundation of the country, although Xiangping is good, it can be located on the border, and it must not be set as the imperial capital. The minister suggested that the eastern capital should be leveled, and the imperial capital should be carefully considered. ”

Xun Yu got up and looked at Su Huan, and said unceremoniously.

"What Xun Gong said is very true, Chang'an is outstanding, the king is rising, and Teng suggests taking Chang'an as the capital."

Ma Teng couldn't bear the loneliness either, got up and said.

His suggestion also won the unanimous support of the Diao Chan people, Diao Chan has been operating in Chang'an for a long time, and the power is intertwined, and the establishment of the capital in Chang'an is extremely beneficial to the Diao Chan people.

"Ridiculous!"

Zhang Liao snorted coldly and said directly: "Ma Shoucheng, Chang'an is the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, Your Majesty is still living in Chang'an, you suggested that King Hengwu establish Chang'an as the capital of King Hengwu, is it that you want to trap the king in a place of disloyalty and injustice?" ”

"That's it, Ma Shoucheng, what are your intentions?"

"Your Majesty, Ma Shoucheng intends to damage your reputation, and I implore the king to investigate thoroughly!"

………………

Ma Teng's words can be regarded as a hornet's nest, and almost everyone unanimously opposed, as for the reasons for the opposition, there are also many strange reasons, from the relationship between the monarch and the minister (theoretically Shang Ji or Hanchen) to the disappearance of the king of Chang'an, which is strange.

Of course, the most mainstream opposition is that Chang'an is the imperial capital of the Han Empire, and it can no longer be established as the capital of Hengwu King, which is against the name of the monarch and ministers.

But this is just an excuse, if Shang Ji really makes sense to Chang'an as the capital, Liu Wei didn't dare to put one, and moved early.

Chang'an is too far to the east, and now that the control area of the Shang Dynasty has included all the Japanese state, Chang'an is not very suitable as the national capital.

In addition, the imprint of Diao Chan in Chang'an City is too deep, which is also one of the reasons why Shang Ji rejected Chang'an!
