Qinchuan Xiong Emperor's Residence, Hangu Zhuang Imperial Residence.

As the political, economic, cultural, military, and wealth center of the Han Empire, Chang'an City has its own majestic spirit that looks at the world.

"History of the Han Dynasty" once recorded: In 243 AD, the world was unified, the artifact was returned, the Han family returned to the capital, Xiaoren Emperor Liu Chan and hundreds of officials worked hard, diligent and thrifty in politics, only the construction of the capital, the cost was very large, and the labor was too much. The number of people used is 200,000, and the amount of grain and grass consumed is tens of millions of stones.

In just a few crosses, it directly explains the Hongda battle of Emperor Xiaoren Liu Chan to rebuild Chang'an City, and also reflects the grandeur, magnificence and magnificence of Chang'an City from the side.

It is rumored that in 246 A.D., under the background of levying 200,000 people and working non-stop for four years, Emperor Xiaoren sent four armed forces and 100,000 people, and charged the prime minister of the Han Dynasty Fei Yi to supervise the city, and commissioned the construction of the city by Ma Jun, and built it in five years.

Throughout the surroundings of Chang'an City, Weishui transports the Jingshi, Longshu is fertile for thousands of miles, Hangu Pass overlooks the eastern part of the country, and Tianshui controls the west.

The newly built Chang'an City, 25 miles in length and width, the city wall is rammed with loess bricks, 200 square squares are drawn inside, the main street divides Chang'an into two halves, the permanent population is one million, except for the Great Qin State Capital Tianluo City, there is no city in the world that can be out of the right.

Located in the center of Chang'an City, the inner palace of the imperial palace, the integration of the east and west of the Han Dynasty, Changle, Jianzhang, Weiyang, Tongguang, Changqiu, Ganquan six palaces rise from the ground, six palaces with more than 80 palaces. The outer palace is built around the inner palace, and there are many official residences, and the offices of the five princes and twelve secretaries of the empire and some dignitaries are located here.

In the west of the city, the royal garden is on the forest garden in the southeast to Lantian Yichun, Dinghu, Yusu, Kunwu, next to the south mountain and west, to Changyang, Wuqi, north around the Yellow Mountain, near Weishui and east, three hundred miles around, thousands of wonders.

In the east of the city, one of the twelve kings, Guanglu Xun's account, the five official Zhonglang generals, the tiger Ben Zhonglang generals, and the Yulin Zhonglang will lead the foot to ride the Tuntian here, serving as the capital guard. One of the twelve kings, the guard order, ordered the South Palace Guard and the North Palace Guard, and also served as the palace guard. 100,000 horses, guarding the safety of the Beijing Division.

The people from the east passed through this, and every time they covered the sky and shouted to kill, their legs trembled, and the national prestige was fully displayed.

Open the nine days and welcome all the nations, but that's it!

Chang'an City, the inner palace of the imperial palace, on the dragon head plain, in the Xuanshu Hall of Weiyang Palace, Liu Yan, the grandson of Emperor Xiaoren Liu Chan and the son of Emperor Shenwu Liu Chen, wore a wide robe and plain shirt, and lay on his side in Ganquan to occupy the main position.

Throughout the whole Xuanshu Palace, the soil is covered with vermilion, the wall is not exposed, and the design is very exquisite; Hongliang should be a dragon, carving birds and beasts, because of the posture of wood; The mural Nine Dragons go to sea, Qi Wei is strange; The red carpet in the house, Zhu Luo, the aromatherapy and the Ding furnace are divided into corners; On the left side of the house, there are two treasures of the golden bright light armor and the swallowing sword; On the right side of the house is the Lantian green jade chess, and there is nothing else; Four tables are placed in the center of the main hall, neatly arranged; Except for a lotus crane ink square pot and a jade horse stepping on the swallow, there are very few furnishings in the house, which shows that the occupants do not like luxury.

Today's son Liu Yan is forty and six this year, but he is well maintained. I saw that he had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a delicate goose face, a straight nose and broad shoulders, and there he was listening to the music, yawning, and from time to time brushing his white hair, exuding a lazy scoundrel.

Although the sons of heaven of the Han family are different, the ruffian spirit of Gaozu Liu Bang has been passed down consistently, Liu Yan is crooked there, without a trace of royal temperament, but like a gentleman of any family.

There are four people sitting in the lower seat, sitting at a square table, two on the left and right, sitting in the right and not squinting.

At this time, the guards, attendants, Changshui guards, and historians of the Xuanshu Hall were all retired, except for five people, there was no one else within a radius of 100 steps.

A clear-eyed young official was chatting at the bottom of his seat, and the rest of the hall cast serious glances at the young official.

"Your Majesty, when the first emperor was there, there were internal and external troubles, the kings were divided, the law did not reach the counties, the law did not govern the princes, and the law of Emperor Wu was very slow. The first emperor in all kinds of helplessness, then allowed the local heroes to recruit private soldiers, private land, private rights, and give the title, the first emperor of the country to fight against the Great Qin, the strong to protect the territory, the people, aid the border, peace of the kings, the merit is indispensable, after the war knighted officials, still lead private soldiers, save private land, the power to one side, the first emperor at the time, in the reasonable, did not do much reprimand. ”

Speaking of this, the young official suddenly straightened his waist and his eyes shone, "Now, forty years have passed since the empire, and there are few people surnamed Liu in the world, and the worries of the king have been removed. However, the troubles of the clans recurred, and the local clans infiltrated the military and government, embezzled the national wealth, ran rampant in the villages, controlled the localities, married for mutual benefit, and even colluded with foreign countries to sell forbidden goods in order to obtain ill-gotten gains, and the calamities were no worse than those of the kings. In recent years, His Majesty has purged the court, reformed the system, and intended to strengthen the centralization of power, but do more with less merit and less benefit, and the ministers of the court and the central government have many children of wealthy families. ”

The performer is Shi Xie Anye, who is the servant of the Twelve Qing Zhongshaofu, who is in his early twenties and has a rank of 600 stones. Xie An's father, Xie Pei, was once an official to Taichang, and is currently one of the five princes, the imperial historian, and is the old leader of the eight major clans in Quzhou.

When Xie An was a child, he was calm and quick-witted, and he was favored by the world. When he grew up, he had a smooth demeanor, worked in the book, was proficient in the study of governing the world, and was selected by the current emperor Liu Yanzhao as the prince's side teacher, because of his ability, Xie An and Liu Quansheng were jointly called "Ansheng in the world", which can be described as a rising star in the imperial political arena.

And Xie An's Xuchang Xie family in Quzhou is one of the eight old clans in Quzhou, although it is not as good as the Jiang clan that has been calling for wind and rain in Quzhou in recent years, but it is also a wealthy family that once dominated one side.

The Xie family has a very good family style, and the children of the family are more respectful, filial piety and obedience, and talents are replaced. As the largest family in Xuchang County, Quzhou, the Xie family is one of the top families in the Han Empire.

After listening to Xie An's statement, Liu Yan maintained a trademark smile on his face, waved his hand to Xie An, signaled him to stop, and then cast his gaze on another young man.

Seeing this, the young man sat up slightly, held his breath, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, five years ago, because of the murder of the Fengzhou tycoon Bailirong on the street, Chang Yi, the county shou of Jiangning County, Fengzhou, decided to kill him, although Bailirong betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy. Under the response of Deng Qiang, the general of the Great Qin Empire, the Baili clan of Jiangning County brutally slaughtered Chang Yi Manmen, old and young, and then, Baili Rong with more than 2,000 soldiers and 10,000 soldiers in Jiangning, defected to the whole family. After this incident, half of Fengzhou was sacked, and the empire suffered heavy losses. ”

The one who said this was Huan Wen, the commander of the military camp under the general's mansion.

I saw that he was filled with righteous indignation, his chest was undulating, and he continued resentfully, "Two years ago, Gong Xue, who was then the prime minister's mansion, took advantage of his position to steal 50,000 stone of national grain and sell it for smuggling, and made a big profit. After Liu Cang, the young history of the Prime Minister's Mansion, knew about it, he wanted to report it at the court meeting, but Gong Xue knew it in advance, and instructed the family to drag him to death on the street at night. All of this is nothing more than relying on the Gong clan is a giant clan in the state, and the royal court dares to be like this, let alone the place! ”

In the end, Huan Wen was already spitting, and his excitement was overflowing.

Liu Yan still had a smile on his face, but sighed in his heart: Today's family is much more restrained than more than ten years ago!
