A drizzle ushered in the eleventh year of Jian'an.

Luoyang City is shrouded in hazy rain and fog, as if it is in a fairyland.

Liu Chuang stood on a high platform, standing on the railing, looking at Luoyang City by bird's eye view. This capital, which has been in trouble and disaster since the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, has now rejuvenated. In November of the tenth year of Jian'an, Liu Chuang moved the capital to Luoyang. Then, on the first day of the first lunar month, he held a ceremony for the Emperor of Heaven to worship the world, indicating the Han Dynasty's country, and thus rose again.

Now, Liu Chuang is appointed as prime minister.

And his Prime Minister's Mansion was where Nangong was before.

Luoyang is an ancient capital, which was established as early as the Zhou Dynasty. Since then, the Western Han Dynasty and Xinmang have built palaces in Luoyang. In the first year of Daojianwu, in the 25th AD, Emperor Guangwu of Han established his capital in Luoyang, and the rebellion lasted for 165 years.

Luoyang in the Han Dynasty was nearly rectangular, with nine miles north and south and six miles east and west, commonly known as Jiulicheng.

The streets in the city are also quite interesting. The main roads in Luoyang are 24 sections, each of which ranges from 20 to 40 meters wide. They are divided into three paths, and the ministers of the ministers walk on the middle road, while ordinary people walk on the left and right roads, which is quite organized. The city is divided into two palaces, north and south, with a complex road connected in the middle. The Nangong was first built in Qin and was the place where the political affairs were discussed in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Beigong was first built in Emperor Ming of Han, with a cheek greater than that of Nangong, and it was the place where the emperor and his concubines lived... However, when Dong Zhuo moved west, the two palaces of the north and south were turned into ruins. The current palace city was built on the original basis.

Before Liu Chuang arrived in Luoyang, Mi Zhu suggested that Liu Chuang set up the Prime Minister's Mansion in Nangong.

The reason...it's simple.

Only Nangong can meet Liu Chuang's current status.

Even if the Han Emperor did not go north, he could no longer preside over the government. In this way, Liu Chuang's Prime Minister's Mansion became a place for political discussion. Since it was a place for political discussion, he had to show enough courage. Since this was the case, he might as well use Nangong as a place for political discussion.

After asking everyone about their opinions, Liu Chuang decided to adopt Mi Zhu's proposal.

However, he ordered the scale of Nangong to be reduced, and only retained, the three palaces of Chongde and Pingshuo, and the Zhongde and Qianqiu Wansui Hall were abolished. Zhongde, Liu Chuang did not like this name; while Qianqiu Wansui Hall was slightly inappropriate. After Liu Chuang demolished these two palaces, he announced that Nangong would be renamed the Prime Minister's Mansion. At the same time, he ordered the speed of repair of the Beigong.

Luoyang Beigong, magnificent in scale.

Long before the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, the Deyang Palace could accommodate tens of thousands of people.

A palace city of such a scale cannot be built in a short period of time. Moreover, Liu Chuang was not very satisfied with the scale of the Luoyang Palace City. After arriving in Luoyang, he ordered the renovation and expansion of the Beigong original basis, which is expected to take five years to complete... Anyway, Emperor Han went to Yanjing and would never want to return to the Central Plains in his life.

"Where has Your Majesty been?"

"Reporting to the lord, Wen Chang sent a message the day before yesterday, he had passed Handan... According to their journey, he should arrive in Zhongshan at this time... It is estimated that he will enter Youzhou in a few days."

Lu Yu is now working at the Shangshutai and is not with Liu Chuang most of his time.

So, Deng Zhi and Yang Wei gradually took over most of the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion from Lu Yu. Resetting the Prime Minister's Mansion indicates that the Thirteen Caos will be reset. This will be an extremely large institution. Fortunately, Liu Chuang is not short of talents now.

So, the old subordinates of the Cao family began to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion.

For example, Xun Yu, Xun You, Dong Zhao and others gradually began to take on important responsibilities.

However, Liu Chuang did not ignore the expectations of those old subordinates. Among the Thirteen Caos, Liu Chuang's old subordinates occupied as many as seven people. To a certain extent, Liu Chuang's old subordinates still dominated. At the same time, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and others were also entrusted with important tasks. Perhaps in the short term, Liu Chuang would not be entrusted with real shortcomings, but at least he gave the old subordinates of the Cao family a hope. Liu Chuang must control the balance between the old and new forces properly... For this reason, he specifically asked Xun Yu, Jia Xu and others, and ordered people to go to Yanjing to ask Ju Su and others for advice. If the degree of this is not grasped well, it may trigger the mutual infight between the two groups, thereby affecting the overall situation.

Liu Chuang has read many history books in his later generations, and he is not unfamiliar with the mystery of it.

After hearing Deng Zhi say that, Liu Chuang couldn't help but sneer.

"Your Majesty, you are a little weak after all... You just went to Yanjing to supervise the war, why are you so slow and slow? It's so unhappy?"

Deng Zhi smiled and said, "What the lord said is very true."

"Okay, don't mention this."

Liu Chuang waved his hand, turned around and returned to the desk, "How is the progress over Kongming?"

"Report to the lord, since the reign of Kong Ming's troops last November, Cao Peng and Xiahou Lan won consecutive victories.

Now, Zhang Lu ordered his brother Zhang Wei to guard Yangping Pass to death and sent someone to ask Liu Zhang for help."

"Oh?" Liu Chuang raised his head and said in a deep voice: "What do you say about Liu Jiyu?"

"I heard that Liu Zhang originally planned to send troops to rescue him, but was persuaded by Zhang Song and Zhang Ziqiao.

Zhang Song was originally a son of the Zhang family, a powerful powerful man in Shu County. His brother Zhang Su was the prefect of Shu County, and he was very trusted by Liu Zhang. After hearing his persuasion, Liu Zhang had the idea of ​​sending troops. However, according to the news from Xiaozuo, some of Liu Zhang's subordinates were quite dissatisfied with this. Huang Quanfei Shi and others reacted fiercely, proposing that Liu Zhang should send troops, but Liu Zhang did not agree."

Zhang Song?

Liu Chuang paused his fingers as he hit the table, and a strange smile flashed in his eyes.

This guy finally appeared!

Historically, it was Zhang Song who led Liu Bei into Sichuan... But I don’t know if Zhang Song would still defect to Liu Bei this time?

In Liu Chuang's memory, Zhang Song has always been dissatisfied with Liu Zhang.

But he initially wanted to serve Cao Cao, but because of his ugly appearance, he was not favored by Cao Cao.

In fact, although Cao Cao had suffered the defeat at the Red Cliff, his vitality was not damaged, and he became the prime minister and was full of complacent intentions. It was reasonable that he looked down on Zhang Song. There was no way, who made Zhang Song not famous at that time, how could Cao Cao value him? As a result, Cao Cao drove Zhang Song away, but he took advantage of Liu Bei, which greatly increased Liu Bei's power.

This time, Liu Chuang would never make the mistakes of Cao Cao back then.

I don’t know if Zhang Song will go on a mission to Luoyang? If he goes on a mission to Luoyang, it would be an opportunity for Liu Chuang.

"Bo Miao. Have you stayed in Xichuan. Do you know Zhang Ziqiao?"

Deng Zhi was stunned and thought for a while and said, "Zhang Song is arrogant and has a slutty person.

But if he hadn't been a little ugly, he would have become even more famous."

He judges people by his appearance, but lost his son Yu.

Although the ancients were alert, the same mistake happened again and again.

Zhang Song is very important, he is an important chess piece in Xichuan. Of course, Liu Chuang will not ignore him. But if he talks about talent... Liu Chuang doesn't agree with Deng Zhi's words. Zhang Song is smart, but very wise... If he is really talented, he will not leak news, which makes Liu Bei encounter accidents in Sichuan and kills Pang Tong.

A person who is not strict enough is hard to reuse even if he is good at learning!

Liu Chuang didn't know whether Zhang Song would come to serve as a mission as in history. So his eyes immediately turned to another person. Deng Zhi had just mentioned several people. But what impressed Liu Chuang the most was indeed Huang Quan.

"Bo Miao, do you know about Huang Gongheng?"

Deng Zhi suddenly showed respect on his face and hurriedly said, "Xichuan has many talented people, Huang Gongheng should be the best among them."

"oh?"

"Although Zhi didn't have much time in Xichuan, she knew Huang Quan quite well.

When he was young, he was a county official and later summoned Liu Zhang as the chief clerk. He was extremely wise..."

Huang Quan, Huang Gongheng!

While Liu Chuang listened to Deng Zhi's introduction, Huang Quan's life flashed in his mind. In history, Zhang Song led Liu Bei into Sichuan, and Huang Quan was the first to object. As a result, Liu Zhang refused to listen, but instead released Huang Quan as the leader of Guanghan, which allowed Liu Bei to enter Sichuan smoothly.

Later, Liu Bei captured Xichuan, and the counties and counties in Xichuan surrendered.

Only when Huang Quan held the closed city and knew that Liu Zhang surrendered, he surrendered to Liu Bei.

In historical books, or in the Romance, Huang Quan was not particularly outstanding under Liu Bei's hands, and was concealed by Zhuge Liang's glory. But in fact, Huang Quan established countless achievements under Liu Bei's hands, among which Liu Bei's seized Hanzhong, and Huang Quan also made contributions.

After Cao Cao's death, Liu Bei became emperor and prepared to conquer the Eastern Wu.

Huang Quan voluntarily became the vanguard officer and suggested that Liu Bei be in charge of the rear, but instead of accepting it for Liu Bei, he asked Huang Quan to go to Jiangbei to defend the Wei army. As a result, in the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei was defeated and the road was cut off by Eastern Wu. Huang Quan could not return it, so he had to surrender to Cao Wei. But even so, Cao Pi still attached great importance to Huang Quan. He was even appointed as the governor of Yizhou and moved to Henan.

This is a person who even Sima Yi praised.

Later, in Sima Yi's letter to Zhuge Liang, he mentioned Huang Quan, and he was also quite praised.

"Can Bo Miao be connected with Huang Gongheng?"

Deng Zhi was confused by Liu Chuang's sudden words.

He thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Zhi went to Xichuan to admire Pang Xi and Gaoyi, so he went directly to Brazil and did not stay in Shu County. Huang Gongheng knew him. When I was in Brazil, I knew someone named Hu Du and was a fellow villager with Huang Gongheng. If the lord is interested in Huang Gongheng, I can try to let him go and inquire, or have hope."

"Foxu?"

Liu Chuang couldn't help laughing and said, "What a weird name."

Deng Zhi said: "Don't laugh at the lord, this fox Zhong's original surname is Ma, and he is a child of the Ma clan of the prominent family of Ba County.

It was only because he was raised in a foreign family since he was young that he used the surname of the foreign family. This man had great ambitions, was skilled in bows and horses, and was very smart... He was previously called a filial and honest person and was used by Pang Xi. When I was in Brazil, I had a lot of contact with him and had a deep affection. If the lord intends to plan for Xichuan, you can try to contact this person... If the lord has intentions, a letter of wish will be written."

Hu Du...

Wait, his original surname is Ma?

Liu Chuang suddenly realized why he was surprised by this name.

Hu Du, Ma Zhong?

This is the Zhennan General in the late Shu Han period, and also a rare famous general in the late Three Kingdoms Shu Han period. The reason why Liu Chuang had an impression of the name Hu Du was because of Huang Quan. After the Battle of Yiling, the Brazilian prefect Yan Zhi sent Ma Zhong to pick up Liu Bei, so Liu Bei valued it. Later, Huang Quan surrendered to Cao Wei, and Liu Bei once sighed: Even though Huang Quan was destroyed, Hu Du was gained again, which was a worldly wise man.

Although I lost Huang Quan, I gained Hu Du, and I am not very virtuous in this world!

Liu Chuang praised Liu Bei for his sunshine in viewing people. His praise of "Fu Du" also aroused Liu Chuang's interest.

Later, he carefully looked up the information and found out that "Hu Du" was Ma Zhong.

Now, Ma Zhong has not yet regained his surname, so Deng Zhi still calls him with the help of the Fox Demon.

Liu Chuang thought for a while and said softly: "Bo Miao, you can try to contact Hu Du first, and then discuss it after the time is right."

He didn't want to alarm the snake, and Huang Quan's character would never rely on Liu Chuang because Hu Du and he were fellow villagers. If he let Ma Zhong go over at this time, he would shock the snake. He stood up and walked in the house. After pondering for a long time, Liu Chuang said, "You immediately send someone to Nanyang to ask Xiaozhi what his relationship with the Ma family of Bajun? If possible, let Hu Du first return to the clan and recognize his ancestors. I believe this is what he most hopes for. Then, contact Hu Du more and test his words and see what he thought."

Deng Zhi immediately realized that his performance just now was probably a little too impatient.

Yes, Hu Du is just a filial and honest person now. How can it affect Huang Quan? He bowed quickly and said, "What the lord said is extremely yes, it's a bit reckless."

Liu Chuang smiled and patted his shoulder, comforted Deng Zhi for a few words, and asked Deng Zhi to retreat.

The Emperor of Han no longer posed a threat, and he would bend his arms around the corner... However, the meal had to be eaten in one bite. If you eat too fast, you would be choked. There was also a decision in your heart: in the short term, he would not turn against Liu Zhang.
To be continued...
