Sili, Chang'an City.

Since the Son of Heaven and the civil and military officials were held hostage to Chang'an, Chang'an has entered a period of rapid development, and the former third-level capital city has completed a two-level jump in an instant, and has risen straight to the first-level royal city. This process is difficult to replicate, and the golden finger of the system is invincible.

However, the happy times of Chang'an ended here, starting from the first-level royal city, Chang'an must continue to expand through guò, and gradually expand to the top of the royal city-king-level royal city, which is not fundamentally different from other player territories.

As the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chang'an's human, material and financial resources are quite amazing, and theoretically the resources of the entire country can be called, which will increase the scale of Chang'an City to an astonishing degree, but this is not the case in practice. After hundreds of years of inheritance, the internal servants and foreign relatives often up to a hundred years of competition, the Eastern Han Dynasty has been completely decayed, in recent years, like a tide of natural disasters**, rebellions, wars, especially the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Ten Standing Servants Rebellion and Dong Zhuo's chaos, has made the royal power exist in name only.

Except for a small area of Sili, most of the rest of the places were controlled by warlords with heavy armies, although there were still a few diehards loyal to the Han family, but the strength in the hands of those diehards was relatively too shabby. The vast majority of warlords have some ambition to count on their unreserved allegiance to a dying dynasty rather than a collective vegetarian diet from the wolves.

Even if the warlords had no ambition to rebel before, and after witnessing the powerlessness of the royal family and the fact that some careerists spared no effort to strengthen their armaments and take advantage of them, they would surely follow the same path in order to protect themselves, and strive to gain greater power.

Greater strength, driving greater wildness

When ambition swells to a certain tipping point, the idea of fighting for oneself and sweeping ** will become a natural choice, and there are countless examples of this in the history of civilization for thousands of years.

Although the current Eastern Han Dynasty no longer has much actual control power, the apparent dignity of the royal family still retains a little. At least for the time being, we have not seen a single warlord willing to defy the condemnation of the world and refuse to recognize the authority of the Son of Heaven. It's just that they won't lightly let go of the interests that have been grasped in their hands, and it's okay to shout the slogan of "top the Son of Heaven" in their mouths.

The current Chang'an is compared with Luoyang, the place before the war. It is not the same grade at all, and the first-level royal city and the fifth-level capital city are not comparable at all.

After moving the capital until now, the scale of Chang'an City has been stagnant at the first-level royal city, and there is no possibility of advancing to the second-level royal city within five years, and upgrading to the fifth-level royal city is even more far away, and the time and wealth spent are quite terrifying.

Of course, there are reasons why it is too difficult to meet the requirements of the royal city's upgrade. It is also related to the fact that Dong Zhuo did not have much interest in improving the scale of Chang'an before. Upgrading the royal land is too expensive. If he is asked to choose between Meiwu and Chang'an. Of course, the Dong family's Dimeiwu is more important.

Reputedly. Dong Zhuo once tried to get the princes from all over the country to donate money and materials for the expansion of Chang'an. A large number of emissaries were sent to lobby. "Don't forget that you are also courtiers of the Great Han Land. Although now they are entrenched on one side. But we must not forget that those who are ministers should do their duty. It is everyone's duty to serve the emperor. Let the Son of Heaven live more comfortably. This is your best chance to show your loyalty to the Han family...... Not giving money is rebellion! ”

Dong Zhuodi's envoys were all awe-inspiring. lest others not know that they are righteous messengers. But those princes didn't grow up in glass bottles. "If Dong Zhuo's old thief can't even upgrade the royal city. Then simply let the Son of Heaven come to us. "So. Dong Zhuo could only grit his teeth and scold a few words, "a group of despicable villains without an emperor". Abandon those unrealistic illusions completely.

There is no huge financial and human support. The increase in the scale of Chang'an city has naturally slowed down. But. Compared to lord players upgrading their own provinces. The expansion of the royal city was still enough to make the lords jaw-dropping.

Dong Zhuo was punished. His clan was also almost wiped out. After days of jubilation. Order in Chang'an gradually returned to normal. But this up-and-coming city of kings is not peaceful. When Dong Zhuo was in power, he was from Chang'an. From the top to the commoners. Most of them live in a cloud of terror all the time. Many of them are overwhelmed by the pressure of pervasiveness. Their emotions are nowhere to be heard. Day after day accumulates it. When the mountain fell down on the heads of the people. Some Chang'an people are surprisingly interested in current events.

on the street. In the liquor store. In front of the school. Pastoral ......

Everywhere you can see people openly commenting on current affairs, they are impassioned, and some people even argue because of disagreements, which is extremely abnormal in this feudal era.

This is a distorted special period, and of course it is Dong Zhuo who leads to this deformed phenomenon, and it is this guy who has led to the condemnation of the public, and the people of Chang'an need some time to vent their hatred for Dong Guo's thief. The scolding of Dong Zhuo further confirmed the righteousness of Wang Yun and others' actions, and it was also beneficial and harmless to the imperial court, which is why the imperial court would temporarily tolerate the current madness of the Chang'an people, and Wang Yun and others also hoped to use these channels to understand the people's views and other expectations on Dong Zhuo's killing.

Being a wicked person can do this step, Dong Zhuo is really not ordinary strong!

In a mansion in the interior of Chang'an City.

Wang Yun sat alone in the room with a calm face, these days the experience of the general leader of the government and the land made his body extremely tired, but his spirit was unprecedentedly excited, until now, he has not been able to get out of the joy of successfully killing Dong Zhuo, every qiē is like a dream, a real dream. As a key contributor to the killing of Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun was rewarded by the imperial court and praised by the people, no matter where he went, he was cast with awe.

That feeling, it's very cool!

Wang Yun's temperament has changed, he no longer hides the edge and pride in his bones as before, Dong Zhuo is dead, he has become a hero of the country, and he does not need to continue to deliberately suppress his emotions and personality. He was no longer low-key, and when he met with his courtiers, he seldom discussed and decided state affairs with everyone as he had done before, and he always sat there with a precarious look, and the kind look that had been on his face for a long time had long been thrown out of the clouds.

Thinking of today's court meeting, Shi Sun Rui and Yang Zan and other old friends left together without saying a word, and did not invite themselves to accompany as before, Wang Yun couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart. He could feel that the former friends of the courtiers were becoming more and more distant from him, and everyone no longer respected and supported him as much as before, but Wang Yun didn't mind too much. In his opinion, perhaps this is the price that must be paid after becoming a superior person, and he does not want any personal feelings to affect his judgment of state affairs.

It's cold in the heights.

With a long sigh, Wang Yun raised his eyes to look at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and muttered to himself: "One day, you will understand my current hardships and lost friendships, after all, it is not as important as the survival of the imperial court!" ”

However, Wang Yun didn't think about whether he really didn't need friends as a high-ranking person. A country's exhibition needs a large number of talents to work together, at present, he is always leading the government, and he needs to work together with the pillars of the court, rather than deliberately putting on a stinky face to show his extraordinary, which will not help the governance of the country except for annoying!

It's a pity that no one can point out his mistakes, and from the moment he heard the news of Dong Zhuo's punishment, Wang Yun was no longer the Wang Yun he used to be. He is arrogant, he has become very sensitive and extreme, Cai Yong's conviction for a sigh is the best proof, his subconscious does not want to hear any dissent, Wang Yunbiao has to be full of no one and everything, "Dong Zhuo was killed by my design, what other problems can I not solve?" ”

In fact, he was not a man of infinite wisdom, and no one dared to stand up and question the "heroic" decision, and he was often indecisive when dealing with certain major affairs of the court.

Now the hottest topic in Chang'an City is how to deal with those Liangzhou generals who have helped Dong Zhuo. The Liangzhou soldiers had extremely strong combat effectiveness and were quite loyal to Dong Zhuo, and how to settle his old unit after Dong Zhuo's death was a major matter related to national security. The ministers of the court and the central government have discussed this matter many times, and the ministers have two completely different opinions on this, and no result has been discussed so far, which makes Wang Yun very sad.

One side thinks: Dong Zhuo alone is obviously impossible to create so many bloody and tragic cases, the Liangzhou soldiers loyal to Dong Zhuo are the biggest accomplices, if there is no strong support from the Liangzhou soldiers, how can Dong Zhuo have the opportunity to enter Beijing? If it weren't for Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing to grasp the situation, how could there be any perverse actions later? Therefore, the Liangzhou soldiers must be severely punished!

The other side believes that the Liangzhou soldiers only obey orders and do not commit crimes to death, is it correct for the army not to obey the command of their superiors? The army is a sharp weapon of the state, and the army should not have ideas, and such a requirement is not at all in line with the consistent concept of governing the army! The law does not govern the people, it has always been evil and must be punished, and there are few people who try to take all the co-followers to blame, and furthermore, the Liangzhou soldiers who are brave and good at fighting are banned or heavily responsible, which is a loss for the country, forcing the rebels not to dare to abandon the darkness and turn to the light......

Both opinions seem to be very reasonable, no one can convince anyone, and the final decision-making power is in the hands of Wang Yun.

"What to do?"

This matter has been bothering Wang Yun.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in Wang Yun's ears, which pulled Wang Yun's mind back from thinking about this question, and a servant who had followed him for many years walked in.

"My lord, there are people outside the house who want to see you."

"Who?"

"Former hussar general Lu Zhi, and ...... Fengxiang City Lord Zheng Aniu. ”
