Chapter 319 accompanies the capital Chang'an

Therefore, the scene of Liu Sleeve's ceremony was magnificently arranged, and Tianfu could be said to have done everything for this.

However, no matter how you look at this wave of investment, it can be done, and the Tian family will make a steady profit.

Tian Mi's mother is no longer there, and the guest of honor is Liu Sleeve's aunt.

Yousi invited two people, Princess Liu Hua of Anyang and Aunt Tian Sheng of Liu Sleeve.

At the beginning of the ceremony, when Tian Sheng appeared, Liu Zhi almost thought that Tian Mi had been resurrected.

This Tian Sheng is only sixteen years old this year, and she is Tian Mi's half-sister, and at first glance she looks seven or eight points similar to her.

The same slap face, the rippling water eyes, and the skin is as delicate as mutton fat, like a fragile porcelain doll.

But if you look closely, there is still a big difference, Tian Sheng loves to laugh more, his temperament is brighter, and his appearance is not so delicate.

Tian Mi is also a woman he once really liked, but unfortunately his personality is not suitable for the court, and he died prematurely.

This incident made Liu Zhi also feel a lot of emotion, and since then, all his concubines and beauties have never found the same type.

Over the years, he has rarely thought of Tian Mi, and when he saw Tian Sheng with a similar appearance, he unconsciously aroused his feelings of longing again.

Because of this, I looked at her a few more times, but I didn't have anything else to think about.

As a man, there is no one who is not greedy for beauty, but he is not the kind of person who is in a hurry, besides, as the emperor, there is no beauty around him, and it is impossible to see a beauty casually, so he wants to get into it.

After the ceremony, Liu Zhi didn't stay long, and immediately went home.

Two days later, the royal car continued to travel west, and before setting off, Tian Fu took a small sedan chair to send the dressed Tian Sheng.

On the contrary, Liu Zhi was a little surprised, he just looked at it twice, as for it?

Seeing that Tian Sheng was silent, Liu Zhi was worried that it was caused by the persecution of Tian's father and son, so he asked softly:

"Your father arranged it, right? Don't be afraid, I'll send you back and tell him not to treat you harshly. ”

Who knew that Tian Mi raised his head suddenly, with tears in his eyes, "It is the concubine who selfishly admires His Majesty's demeanor and voluntarily comes to serve, and asks Your Majesty for mercy." ”

is just such a one-sided relationship, or such a lively occasion, to say that Tian Sheng fell in love with himself at first sight, he really didn't believe it.

As early as more than ten years ago, he knew that Tian's father and son were greedy for profit, and for the sake of the family's interests, they used their daughter as a bargaining chip.

But now that he is old, he doesn't have the heart to make the little girl happy, and he doesn't want Tian Mi's tragedy to happen again.

Waving her hand, she didn't bother to say anything more, and motioned for the guards to send her away.

When Tian Sheng saw this scene, he knelt down with a thud.

"Your Majesty, the concubine was born with a hard life, and the warlock said that if she has the appearance of Kefu, she can't match if she is not a nobleman.

Your Majesty is the true son of the dragon, please have mercy on one or two, otherwise...... I'm afraid that the concubine will only die in the mountains. ”

Liu Zhi saw that what she said was sincere, but it didn't seem like she was lying, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.

Tian Sheng herself is sixteen years old, and ordinary people should have been married a long time ago, but she has not yet promised to be married, which is indeed a bit strange.

Asked Long Linwei, who was accompanying him, it turned out to be the real thing, this Tian Sheng was also strange, he was born beautiful and talented since he was a child, and when he was thirteen years old, his family began to propose marriage to her.

In the past two or three years, three people have been married, and without exception, they died of a violent illness not long after.

Even some people just talk to her, they will get seriously ill for no reason, so the city is full of storms, and they all say that she is hard to live a husband.

Later, a warlock released the words that he must be worthy of a nobleman, but it is unknown whether it was true or whether the Tian family deliberately asked someone to release it.

is a good daughter family, and being pointed at all day long, it is estimated that there is no love in life.

However, looking at her situation, she is not complaining, which alone is commendable.

But Liu Zhi just thinks that the brain circuit of Tian's father and son is a little too strange, your daughter Kefu will be sent to me.

Do you really believe that you must be worthy of a nobleman, or do you plan to kill the king in a subtle way?

If he doesn't accept it, it is possible to kill his whole family in a fit of anger, isn't this a clear pit on himself?

Could it be that just because Tian Sheng's appearance resembles Tian Mi, he is sure that he will be fascinated?

However, Liu Zhi really didn't believe this, and he was sure of one thing, this Tian Sheng was indeed willing to enter the palace.

A twenty-eight-year-old girl who bears the name of Kefu is equivalent to a death sentence.

If you rashly return her, there is indeed only a dead end.

It doesn't matter if there is one more woman around you, it doesn't matter if you have one less woman, it doesn't hurt to stay, you should do a good deed every day, not to mention that she is still a beautiful woman.

"In that case, you can stay."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Tian Sheng immediately burst into laughter, seeing that this character is indeed much more cheerful than her sister, at least there will be no more tragedies repeated.

Because he wanted to take care of the face of Princess Wuyang Liu Sleeve, Tian Sheng entered the palace and sealed the talent, and the starting point was okay.

This small episode will naturally not affect the speed of westward travel, from Fufeng County to Chang'an, the distance is not far away.

It's just that they walked slowly, traveled all the way, and it took them several days to arrive in Chang'an.

During this journey, Liu Zhi did not have the luck of the new talent Tian Sheng, but the relationship between Princess Wuyang and her two has improved by leaps and bounds.

Tian Sheng is very smart, he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and he has a good voice and is good at singing.

The aunts and nephews played the piano and tuned the sheng in the carriage, singing melodiously all the way, so cheerful.

Liu Sleeve's smile is obviously more than before, and his personality is also a lot more lively, just for this reason, Liu Zhi also feels that it is not a loss at all to accept Tian Sheng as a talent.

At dusk of this day, the convoy finally slowly drove into the ancient capital of Chang'an, although it is not as prosperous as Luoyang today, but the sense of history is coming.

As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, the national capital of Haojing, was located in the west of today's Chang'an, and in the Qin Dynasty, it became the fief of Chang'anjun, the younger brother of Qin Shi Huang, and was named Chang'an.

Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty placed Chang'an County in five years, and Emperor Gao set the capital here.

Began to rebuild the palace on the south bank of the Wei River, the north side of Afang Palace, and the Qin Xingle Palace, and named it Changle Palace.

Gaozu built Weiyang Palace in seven years, and moved the capital from Luoyang City to this place in the same year, and then after several generations of expansion, the scale became more and more grand.

In the more than 200-year history of the Western Han Dynasty, Chang'an has always been the political, economic and cultural center of the Han Dynasty.

Since Emperor Wu sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions to open a trade route, Chang'an City has become a bridge connecting Europe and Asia and the starting point of the "Silk Road", and it has prospered for a while.

In its heyday, such as the first two years of Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, there were 88,000 households and 246,000 people in the city, making it the first city in Chinese history with a large scale and many residents.

At that time, it was about 36 square kilometers, about four times the size of the city of Rome at the same time. Chang'an City has 12 gates and 8 main streets, with the longest street being 5,500 meters long.

The palaces, noble residences, government offices, and temples in the city occupy about two-thirds of the city's area.

The palaces are concentrated in the central and southern parts of the city, including Changle Palace, Weiyang Palace, Gui Palace, North Palace and Mingguang Palace.

Among them, Weiyang Palace started from Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty and became the residence of the emperor and the place where he handled the government affairs, and is one of the most famous palaces in Chinese history.

The residential area is distributed in the north of the city, divided into 160 "Luli", and the market is in the northwest corner of the city, called "Chang'an Nine Cities".

In the west of the city, there is a large area of Shanglin Garden, and there are mainly Kunming Pond, Jianzhang Palace and so on in the garden. In the south of the city, there is a group of ceremonial buildings built during the Wang Mang period, called Wang Mang Nine Temples.

The city of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty changed the pattern of large and small cities in the Warring States period, and concentrated residential areas, industrial and commercial areas, and palace areas in one city, and later capitals followed this structural system.

Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu revived the Han Dynasty, and after the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the emperors of the past dynasties often went to Chang'an to worship the temple.

In the period of Emperor Shun, a temple was finally built on the outskirts of Luoyang, and there was no longer any need to come to Chang'an to worship.

In addition to the Western Capital, in fact, the Eastern Han Dynasty also had a companion capital - Nanyang, the southern capital, which was also called "accompanying Beijing" by the people of the time.

Why did Nanyang become the accompanying capital, it is because Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was born in Nanyang, so Nanyang is the "emperor's hometown".

Speaking of the two Han capitals, it is the representative of the "two capitals system" in the ancient Chinese capital city system, and further the representative of the "two capitals system" controlled by the east and west.

The so-called "two-capital system" is to set up a capital and a accompanying capital, which is the main body of the capital city system in ancient China.

Its system actually began in the Zhou Dynasty in the three dynasties of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and the capital was set up in the early Zhou Dynasty, and then the base of the Xia people was selected - Yishui and Luoshui, and the capital Luoyi was built.

In 770 B.C., King Ping of Zhou moved eastward and officially set Luoyang as the capital, which was changed to the city of "Chengzhou".

In the "Chu and Han Rivalry", Liu Bang, the king of Han, defeated Xiang Yu and held an enthronement ceremony in Dingtao, Shandong, with the name of "Han" and the original capital of Luoyang.

But soon, Liu Bang changed his mind and set Luoyang as the capital and Chang'an as the capital.

It turned out that in May of that year, Liu Bang, who was called the emperor, held a banquet in the South Palace of Luoyang, the capital, to entertain the military generals who fought with him in the east and west.

During this period, Liu Jing, the Marquis of Jianxin, suggested that the first choice of the capital should be Chang'an.

Liu Bang was half-convinced at the time, which is what he called "suspicious".

Because most of Liu Bang's subordinates are from the area of present-day northern Jiangsu, he suggested that Luoyang should be established, thinking that "it is enough to be trusted", and in fact, there is a tacit idea that Luoyang is close to his hometown in northern Jiangsu.

Zhang Liang, who is deeply favored by Liu Bang and has the first strategy of "strategizing and winning thousands of miles away", put forward a different view.

It is said that "although Luoyang has this solidity, it is small, but hundreds of miles, the fields are thin, and the enemy is surrounded by enemies, this is not a country of force." ”

Zhang Liang believes that the capital should be built in Chang'an, on the Guanzhong Plain, for the reason of "thousands of miles of Jincheng, the country of abundance." ”

Liu Bang thought that what Zhang Liang said was very reasonable and in line with his wishes, so he accepted Zhang Liang's suggestion, and soon officially set the capital of Chang'an, and the foundation began.

Even if Wang Mang usurped the throne in 8 AD and established a short-lived "new dynasty", it failed to change Chang'an's status as the capital.

Only the name was changed, Yi "Chang'an" was "Chang'an", called "Western Capital", and Luoyang was still set as the accompanying capital, called "Eastern Capital".

In the edict of the fourth year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Mang defined the capital and the capital as follows: "Gyeonggi is conjoined, and each has its own use."

However, feng shui took turns, and Luoyang, the capital of the millennium, ushered in good luck in the first year of Jianwu, and turned into the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In October of this year, Liu Xiu openly broke with Wang Mang's change regime and ascended the throne as emperor in Shan, in order to show orthodoxy and the revival of the Liu family, he still took "Han" as his country name.

Liu Xiuding made Luoyang the capital and named it the "Eastern Capital", and at the same time set Chang'an as the accompanying capital, called "Xijing".

Liu Bang set up the capital in Chang'an, and set up the capital Luoyang, but Liu Xiu did the opposite, set the capital in Luoyang, and set Chang'an as the capital.

It seems that the capital is exchanged, but it is not so simple, this is the eastward expansion strategy implemented by King Wu of Zhou, and the continuation of the Eastern Han Dynasty, to be more precise, this is the choice of the current situation and economic development.

Liu Bang chose to accompany Luoyang in Chang'an, which was in line with the times.

At that time, the old forces of the Qin Dynasty did not disappear fundamentally, and the capital was located in Chang'an, which was conducive to controlling the old forces of the Qin Dynasty and stabilizing the country.

And Liu Xiu's choice of Luoyang and accompanying Chang'an is also correct.

Chang'an is the capital of the beginning of the Han Dynasty surnamed Liu, and not forgetting the old capital is not forgetting the original, which is very important in the ancient orthodox environment, and can win the hearts of the people more widely.

The reason for the failure of Wang Mangzhi's new dynasty has a lot to do with the fact that he was not orthodox, but seized power through a coup d'Γ©tat.

On top of that, Guanzhong's natural resources are no longer able to support consumption in Chang'an as the capital.

In terms of grain, the grain supplied to various government departments in Chang'an at that time was mainly transported from the Kanto region where Luoyang was located.

According to records, due to the expansion of the population, the increase in military expenditures, and the high consumption of the aristocracy, the demand for grain in Chang'an increased dramatically, from hundreds of thousands of stone per year to six million stone.

During the reign of Emperor Wu, he had no choice but to dig a channel between Chang'an and the Yellow River to increase the transportation capacity and strengthen the connection between the capital and the capital.

Therefore, Liu Bang and Liu Xiu are correct in the choice of accompanying the capital, advancing with the times, in line with the times, the mystery is not in feng shui, but in the word "stability" - the need for stability.

However, at this time, Chang'an had long lost its former glory, and the four city gates were burned down in the last years of Wang Mang or later in the war.

With the exception of Xuanping Gate, its three doorways have been used as a complete city gate.

The five palaces that occupy more than half of the city's area, Changle Palace, Weiyang Palace, and Gui Palace, although they were destroyed in the war, still have some palaces.

Among them, the most preserved part of the Guigong Palace was renovated and used as the emperor's palace.

The Mingguang Palace and the North Palace have long been destroyed, but in just over a hundred years, there is no trace of them, which can really be described as a vicissitudes of life.

What made Liu Zhi sigh the most was that there was originally a large-scale arsenal between the two palaces of Changle Weiyang back then, and it was surrounded by a rectangular wall made of rammed earth.

There are seven storehouse ruins in the wall, and each storehouse is divided into several rooms for the separation of various weapons.

To this day, there are still fragments of iron weapons such as knives, swords, spears, halberds, arrowheads, and armor in the ruined walls.

It can be seen that the Western Han Dynasty was much stronger than the Eastern Han Dynasty in terms of military force.

By the time he ascended the throne, the military strength of the Eastern Han Dynasty had been greatly reduced.
