With complicated feelings, Zhao Xing finally stepped into the Luoyang Palace again, which he had the honor to visit once in the past, and at this time, except for the soldiers of the Crouching Tiger Army on guard, there were no other idle people in the entire palace.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace have been surrounded by the emperor Liu Wei to Xuchang, although it took a few months for the Jin army to enter Luoyang, but the palace is still clean enough, it seems that after the emperor moved to Xuchang, the Taiwei Mansion still often arranges personnel to come to clean it.

When he went south, Zhao Xing had been wondering why Lu Zhi knew that he might never return if he went north, but he still stubbornly insisted on crossing the Yellow River north with all the forces in the Luoyang area to attack Jiguan and Crouching Tiger City. When he saw a well-preserved Luoyang City, he finally understood what Lu Zhi was thinking. Lu Zhi must have heard Zhao Xing's order that the Northwest Route Army should not bombard the western capital of Chang'an with artillery fire, and this great Confucian was unwilling to give up the persistence in his heart, and he did not want Luoyang City and the people in the city to suffer, so he took away all the troops in the Luoyang area, and made a deathbed confession to the world and Zhao Xing in the most heroic way.

With Lu Zhi's death in the north, Lu Zhi's youngest son in the Taifu Mansion has taken his family to Wangwu Mountain to guard Lu Zhi's tomb, so now the Taifu Mansion has also become an empty mansion in the door. Lu Zhiben had three sons, of which Lu Yu was the youngest, and the other two sons died on the battlefield in the early years with Lu Zhi's southern and northern wars. Now Lu Yu is dedicated to guarding his father's tomb and living in seclusion in Wangwu Mountain, but he also left a vein for Lu Zhi. Zhao Xing respected Lu Zhi's character and integrity, and allocated a lot of money to build a mausoleum for Lu Zhi.

Zhao Xing strode into the hall where the emperor and the ministers of the court and the central government were discussing in the past, raised his eyes and looked around, and there was not much heroic feeling rising in his chest, but there was a faint sadness and sigh lingering in his heart.

Zhao Xing turned his head to Li Jinsi behind him and said: "Arrange for someone to dismantle all the stairs on this court hall and rearrange this meeting hall in the style of the largest combat command room in the Pingxi Palace. ”

Li Jinsi has followed Zhao Xing for many years, and of course he can understand the meaning of Zhao Xing's words. The largest war conference room in the Pingxi Palace, is to adopt the layout of a circular table, in peacetime, Zhao Xing sits at the top of the table, the left row is full of senior military generals, the right row is senior internal affairs officials, and the special invitees who need to temporarily attend the meeting sit around the periphery of the large conference table. On the wall directly opposite where Zhao Xing was sitting, there was a huge map of the territory of the Han Dynasty, and all the civil and military officials attending the meeting could get up and come to the map to explain the situation on the spot.

Over the years, the high-level civil and military officials of the Jin State Department, including those who were fortunate enough to be able to attend the meeting temporarily, all liked this style of deliberation from the bottom of their hearts, and everyone was even worried in their hearts about whether this pleasant and efficient way of deliberation would be abolished once Zhao Xing ascended the throne. Now with Zhao Xing's words, Li Jinsi knows that Zhao Xing still doesn't like to engage in those false things as always, and is still thinking about "deifying" the emperor and pursuing a way to discuss matters on an equal footing.

Accompanied by important generals such as Xu Huang, Li Jinwu, Li Jinsi and Zhao Zhenbang, Zhao Xing did not choose to live in the palace after inspecting the South Palace and the North Palace, but unexpectedly lived in the courtyard he had purchased when he came to Luoyang to sell wine.

Eighteen years ago, Zhao Xing was just a small county magistrate in Shangdang County's eldest son county (one level smaller than the county order), and when he came to Luoyang, the imperial capital, it was a very luxurious thing to be able to get a courtyard. But now that Zhao Xing is about to reign in the world, he took several very important generals around him to live in this somewhat dilapidated small courtyard, which is too shabby and simple.

Liu Jili, who went south with Zhao Xing, said with some emotion: "When the Yellow Turban disaster in Luoyang, I abandoned this courtyard and went north to Crouching Tiger City, but I didn't expect that I would be able to live with Guochang again after many years, which can be regarded as a good story in life!"

Zhao Xinghun said indifferently: "The palace in Luoyang is too big, and I really don't feel comfortable living in it." Living in this compound helps me keep a clear head, sort out my future thinking, and guide everyone to quit the narrow-mindedness of becoming a king and defeating a king. In the future, after the North Palace and the South Palace are all renovated, the North Palace will be used as the history museum of the Han Dynasty, and the South Palace will be used as the office of the Government Affairs Yuan of the Han Dynasty. ”

As the news of the King of Pingxi's entry into the imperial capital Luoyang spread throughout the Sili region and even the northern states, the originally panicked and depressed Sili region quickly ushered in the defection of millions of people. Those people from all over the country who have been striving for naturalization in Crouching Tiger City but have not been able to do so, immediately adjusted their thinking and direction, and regarded settling in Luoyang as an alternative.

As long as Zhao Xing lives in Luoyang, Luoyang will usher in a round of rebuilding in the future, and the status of Luoyang will only be higher than that of Crouching Tiger City, and if you can live in the imperial capital Luoyang for the first time, it will be equivalent to taking the big ship of the king of Pingxi in the future, and it will not be smooth sailing to do anything!

In fact, this is an important reason why Zhao Xing went to Luoyang in person. Zhao Xing sat in Luoyang, first of all, to facilitate the central command of various armies to complete the most encirclement and suppression of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, secondly, to prove to the people of the world that Luoyang would be better without the residence of Emperor Liu Wei and the ministers of the imperial court, and finally to guide his internal affairs officials to build Luoyang into the future economic and financial center of the Han Empire.

In Zhao Xing's vision, the cultural and scientific center of the Han Empire will remain in Crouching Tiger City in the future, because there are Taihang Academy, many research institutes, and new factories and workshops that are deeply influenced by Zhao Xing's thoughts; the military and political center of the Han Empire should be located in Chang'an, because Chang'an's special position can well control the Western Regions and the northern desert, and it can be described as the center of China's fortune, which must be firmly occupied; the reason why the economic and financial center of the Han Empire is located in Luoyang is because of Luoyang's convenient land and water transportation and complete and wide urban foundation。

From the perspective of long-term construction and development, if the political, military, cultural, economic and financial integration is put into a single megacity, it will cause the city to become more and more congested, and it will also cause serious geographical imbalance.

There is Crouching Tiger City to the north of the Yellow River, Luoyang to the south of the Yellow River, and Chang'an on the Guanzhong Plain.

Soon after Zhao Xing's arrival in Luoyang, the interior officials in various places received Zhao Xing's idea of reforming the political system, and although Zhao Xing explained it in a discursive tone in his letters, everyone could sense Zhao Xing's determination to carry out the reform in a bold way.

Liu Yu, who was in the Western Regions, had very complicated feelings in his heart after receiving Zhao Xing's letter. In his letter, Zhao Xing made it clear that the nascent Han Empire would appoint Liu Yu as the first president of the Government Council to oversee the daily work of 12 major departments, including agriculture, industry, commerce, culture and education, health, water conservancy, and finance.

To be able to hold the position of the first president of the Government Council is not only a very high honor, but also the actual power in his hands is not much less than that of the emperor. Zhao Xing said very clearly that in the future, the emperor will only set a major policy for the development of the country, and the specific planning and implementation will be completed by the 12 major departments led by the Government Council, and the emperor will not interfere in specific affairs.

As a descendant of the old Han dynasty surnamed Liu, Liu Yu was able to serve as the dean of government affairs in the new empire founded by Zhao Xing, and his mood was naturally both excited and emotional, and there were even some other things that could not be explained. But Liu Yu did not immerse himself in this complicated mood for too long, he looked forward to this new political system from the bottom of his heart to bring a new atmosphere to the Han Dynasty, so he accepted Zhao Xing's appointment without hesitation, and made a long list, and he thought that he was suitable for the future to serve in the government affairs Yuan The officials came to a catch.

Jia Xu, who was in Chang'an, also received a letter from Zhao Xing, and the content he saw had both similarities and some specific differences with Liu Yu's. Zhao Xing also gave a detailed explanation and explanation to Jia Xu of his idea and determination to reform the top level of the Han Dynasty, and invited Jia Xu to serve as the first president of the Legislative and Constitutional Revision Yuan of the Han Dynasty.

Among all the strategists in Zhao Xing, Jia Xu has the oldest qualifications, and if Jia Xu is only described as resourceful, it is not comprehensive and profound enough. In Zhao Xing's view, Jia Xu has the most thorough understanding of people's hearts, and he is responsible for formulating and revising the laws that maintain the long-term prosperity of the Han Empire with a group of equally resourceful people, which will definitely plug many loopholes in advance, so that those who want to exploit the loopholes in the law will meet and break the blood. Zhao Xing is ready to let Guo Jia and Pang Tong be Jia Xu's deputies, as long as these three cattle people work together to "calculate" the people of the world, they will definitely be able to formulate a glorious code!

Tian Feng, who occupied Yecheng, also received a letter from Zhao Xing. Because of his upright personality and honest and honest character, he has always been respected and appreciated by Zhao Xing, and his status is similar to Jia Xu among Zhao Xing's many advisors. This time, Zhao Xing did not hesitate to throw a position that might offend many people to Tian Feng - Zhao Xing was ready to let Tian Feng succeed him as the president of the Han Supervision Yuan.

Before the establishment of the Government Affairs Yuan and the Legislative and Constitutional Amendment Yuan, in order to prevent corruption among officials in various localities, Zhao Xing personally took command of the establishment of the Supervision Yuan, and ruthlessly dealt with a few moths, which played a very beneficial role in rectifying the administration of officials and eliminating official style. In the future, Zhao Xing decided to hand over this burden to Tian Feng, and at the same time prepared to let Chen Gong and Xu Shu serve as Tian Feng's deputy, with these three equally resourceful cattle responsible for supervising the emperor and the world's officials, Zhao Xing was still very relieved.

From Zhao Xing's series of ideas, it is not difficult to see that in addition to the appointment of officials and the army still being held by the emperor, at least half of the monarch's power was voluntarily handed over by Zhao Xing, which is not far from the dualistic monarchy constitutional government he envisioned.
