Chapter 877 Chang'an Imperial Palace
After returning to Chang'an, Liu Zhang immediately ordered someone to lead Yizhou officials to the residence to rest.
As for Jia Xu, Liu Zhang personally sent him home.
Before Jia Xu arrived, Liu Zhang had already found him a very decent house in Chang'an City, which was very close to the palace.
Then Liu Zhang went straight to the palace with Liu Yun, Cai Yan, Wu Cheng and others.
Since the occupation of Chang'an City, all the palaces here have been owned by Liu Zhang.
Although the imperial palace in Chang'an City fell into disrepair for a long time and was destroyed by Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si and Xianbei, it was expanded after generations of emperors such as Liu Bang and Liu Che, and its scale and structure are still very grand.
The whole palace is divided into Weiyang Palace, Changle Palace, Mingguang Palace, Gui Palace, Bei Palace and Jianzhang Palace.
Weiyang Palace, also known as the West Palace, is the residence of the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty.
The emperor lived, and the natural scale is the largest.
After Dong Zhuo moved his capital, he used Weiyang Palace as the palace of the upper court.
After Liu Zhang occupied Chang'an, he also felt that Weiyang Palace was the most suitable, so he decided to continue to use Weiyang Palace as the court meeting place.
There are two palaces to the north of Weiyang Palace, Gui Palace and Bei Palace from west to east.
Both palaces were inhabited by the harem concubines, but they were built at different times.
The North Palace was built in the period of Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, and the Gui Palace was built in the period of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
The two palaces are about the same size, but the construction style is very different.
When Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty was completed, the Gui Palace was extremely luxurious.
However, with the relocation of the capital of the Han Dynasty, Chang'an experienced many devastations. Both the Beigong and Guigong have long since lost their former appearance.
To the west of Weiyang Palace is Jianzhang Palace, which was built for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che.
Jianzhang Palace has a large scale and is known as thousands of households!
At that time, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, used to meet in this court to manage politics!
It's a pity that such a majestic palace was captured and burned during Wang Mang's period.
So far, the roof of Jianzhang Palace is still broken in many places, and it is already unusable.
The northernmost part of the entire palace is Mingguang Palace, which was also built by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che.
The construction of this palace is a bit strange, it is actually to pray for the gods to come!
However, like other palaces, Mingguang Palace has not been repaired for nearly a hundred years, and it seems unusable.
As a time traveler, how can Liu Zhang believe in the fairy tales?
It happened that there was no time to take care of it for a while, so the Mingguang Palace could only be temporarily abandoned.
There is also an arsenal to the east of Weiyang Palace, which can be used after minor repairs.
To the east of the arsenal is the last palace of the whole palace, Changle Palace.
The meaning of Changle Palace is quite deep!
Changle Palace is located to the east of Weiyang Palace, also known as East Palace.
It is the first formal palace in the Han Dynasty rebuilt on the basis of the Ligong Xingle Palace in the Qin Dynasty.
When Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, was in power, he lived in Changle Palace.
However, after Liu Bang, the palace was changed to live in by the queen mother, which is also the result of Lu Zhi's intervention in politics.
After Dong Zhuo moved his capital, Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace were mainly repaired.
Although Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace were not much better after repeated destruction, but compared to other leaky palaces, they are naturally the best choice.
Weiyang Palace has been used by Liu Zhang as a venue for future court meetings.
As for the residence, of course he can only move into the relatively intact Changle Palace.
According to the practice of the Han Dynasty, the emperor and the concubines in the harem actually had separate palaces.
Considering that he is not yet the emperor and his funds are limited, Liu Zhang will not waste his manpower on repairing the palace.
Anyway, Changle Palace is very big, and there is no problem living with Liu Yun, Cai Yan, and Wu Cheng.
As for Liu Zhang's son and daughter, they are still young, so they can be moved to Gui Palace or Bei Palace by servants.
This time Liu Yun and others came to Chang'an, in fact, it was no different from moving house, so all the maids and entourages of Yizhou State Shepherd's Mansion followed to Chang'an.
After all, he is the lord of Yizhou, and he is the state shepherd's mansion of General Wei, so servants are indispensable!
Their arrival greatly eased the embarrassing problem of the entire palace being full of soldiers.
For the sake of safety, all the guards in the palace are served by soldiers from the camp.
It is naturally impossible for Liu Zhang to let these veteran soldiers clean up!
Therefore, sanitation problems have always troubled Liu Zhang, and even Weiyang Palace still has many places covered with dust!
Although hundreds of servants are a drop in the bucket for Nuoda's palace, they are still better than nothing.
After nearly a hundred people entered the palace, they immediately started to get busy.
Because these servants found that if they didn't clean up as soon as possible, they wouldn't even have a place to live!
Liu Zhang had nothing to do, so he took his three daughters around the palace.
Cai Yan, Wu Cheng has never seen a palace of this size before, and he has never been there before. Naturally, he looks like a countryman entering the city.
The second daughter looked at the dilapidated palace in amazement, even the burnt Jianzhang Palace was overjoyed.
Even the big hole in the roof can be discussed for a long time!
Probably because of the uncontrollable joy in his eyes at the thought of living in such a magnificent palace in the future.
Liu Zhang did not laugh at Cai Yan and Wu Cheng at all, and expressed his understanding. Even if the roof of the palace in Chang'an City is completely leaked, it is not comparable to the prefecture's mansion in Chengdu!
Even if Liu Zhang came to Chang'an Palace for the first time, he still looked like he had never seen the world.
Compared with Cai Yan and Wu Cheng, the princess Liu Yun who lived in the palace since she was a child is much calmer.
However, even the princess who lived in Luoyang Palace all year round expressed amazement at the scale of Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace.
It's very simple, Luoyang's South Palace and North Palace combined are not as big as Weiyang Palace, let alone Changle Palace!
Just when Liu Zhang was about to brag proudly, he suddenly found a touch of sadness in Liu Yun's eyes.
Over the years, Liu Yun's personality has become softer and softer, and the airs of the princess before have completely disappeared.
Every time Liu Zhang saw Liu Yun like this, the scene when the two met for the first time could not help appearing in his mind.
"Yun'er, what's the matter? Could it be that you don't like this place?"
Liu Yun pursed his lips and shook his head lightly.
"How could it be? This place is much bigger than Luoyang Palace..."
Liu Zhang saw Liu Yun's heart at a glance, and couldn't help feeling distressed.
"Yun'er, the world is still the same world, the big man is still the same big man, we are still descendants of the empress of Han, descendants of the great ancestor!"
Liu Yun did not resist Liu Zhang's embrace, and leaned gently on his chest.
"Ok…"
Liu Yun didn't say anything more, perhaps only by leaning in Liu Zhang's arms can he truly let go of everything.
Liu Zhang proclaimed the founding of the country, and formally confronted the imperial court in name, and the two sides will be even more at odds in the future.
The Han Dynasty that Liu Yun knew well in the past will gradually disappear.
Perhaps since the Luoyang Palace was destroyed by a fire, everything has changed!
Speaking of which, history is always surprisingly similar.
Back then, when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, he set the Chang'an Palace on fire, and this time Dong Zhuo's disorderly government is the same.
Maybe that song is right!
There is a Han in the east and a Han in the west. It is not difficult for the deer to walk into Chang'an.
It's a pity that Sinan is unavoidable, but the new big man may be reborn in Chang'an City!
