Although the burning of Luoyang City was Dong Zhuo's order, he had a share in it after all. The reconstruction now can be regarded as making up for the mistakes of the past.

Although the new Luoyang City was built on the site of the old Luoyang, except for the city walls, both the overall layout of the city and the proportions of the palace are completely different from any previous or current city in the Han Dynasty.

Compared with the past when the northern and southern palaces almost stretched across the city, the proportion of the imperial palace in the new city was much smaller. It was still magnificent, but the palace city was much more streamlined. Behind the Jiade Hall, where normal court meetings were held, was the emperor's palace, which was also divided into There are two palaces in the north and south, but as the emperor's resting place, they are a bit less majestic. The garden design focuses on comfort.

The grandeur is good, but it will be depressing if you look at it for a long time. The pavilions, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water are more likely to relieve people's mood. At least Liu Xie is very satisfied with this new palace.

Outside the palace, there are no big houses with tight walls like a city within a city. This does not mean that Luoyang cannot have big houses, but high gates are not necessary. Luoyang is the palace. If one day, troops really come to the city, what will happen if there is a fortress in the city? ? When Dong Zhuo moved the capital, the fortified Wubao in the city failed to provide any protection to the scholar-bureaucrats.

There can only be one palace within the city, and there is no obvious separation between the large households in New Luoyang and the civilian residences. Outside the palace, Lu Bu has set up thirty-six residences, which are reserved for hundreds of officials in the court. According to different grades, walking in The entire city of Luoyang is like stars looming over the moon.

Residential residences are mixed among these thirty-six houses, which can also bring officials closer to the people.

In addition, the biggest difference in the new Luoyang City is that there is no fixed market, or the entire Luoyang City is a large market. The streets are very wide and can accommodate five carriages in parallel. This is not to facilitate the emperor's inspections, but to facilitate the emperor's inspections. The vendors along the way will not affect pedestrians.

Of course, this is the width of several main streets, and some alleys are not as wide.

Walking on the main street of Luoyang City, it was probably the first time for Liu Xie to go deep into the folk. Everything he saw was novel. The new Luoyang City gave people a feeling of being less serious and depressing, and more of a light-hearted feeling. On the street, my mood will be much brighter unconsciously.

There are already many vendors starting to do business along the street. People attending the morning market have come from outside the city to sell goods or buy some necessities. There are also many people from wealthy families who come early to buy some fresh dishes.

Some of the snack vendors along the street are no worse than the morning market in Chang'an South City. The streets are filled with the aroma of all kinds of food, making people unconsciously feel a little hungry.

"The weather in New Luoyang seems to be even worse than that in Chang'an." Liu Xie would occasionally come out in Chang'an, but he couldn't be as comfortable as Lu Bu and the others. The ministers in the court would stop him, and the eunuchs would also follow. It is rare to see people shouting and crowding out in Chang'an, and the people can't help but become cautious. Naturally, it is difficult to see such a lively scene, but it is not really inferior to Luoyang.

After all, Chang'an is the place where Lu Bu has been running for ten years, and it has the atmosphere of a great nation with thousands of nations coming to court.

Lu Bu took Liu Xie, Yang Biao and Zhong Yao to a restaurant. The table here was not one for each person, but one for four people. It was just enough for the four of them to sit around. After calling some breakfast , Lu Bu said with a smile: "Chang'an is the imperial capital. When all nations come to court, it is naturally more solemn. Luoyang has attracted refugees from all over the years. The Central Plains has been war-torn for years. People from all over the country gather together in one place, which also brings with them customs from all over the world. In addition, Luoyang was originally designed to have It’s meant to soften the world style, so it looks more lively.”

"In the words of the Taiwei, the most important thing is the national power. When the national power is strong, even if the buildings are not so solemn, envoys from foreign countries will not dare to be presumptuous. On the contrary, no matter how magnificent the city is, it is difficult to inspire awe in people." Liu Xie smiled.

Yang Biao glanced at Lu Bu. Lu Bu's influence on Liu Xie far exceeded that of others, especially this kind of conceptual influence, which was really terrifying.

"Let's complement each other." Lu Bu said with a smile: "The majesty of a great country always needs to be displayed. Nowadays, more and more foreign countries are coming to see my Han Dynasty. The court must not only have a strong fist, but also a strong belly."

"Why is this belly so hard?" Liu Xie asked curiously. Of course Lu Bu didn't mean what he meant literally, but what did he mean specifically?

"My Han culture is not only in words and deeds, but also in this seemingly inconspicuous city building." Lu Bu said with a smile: "When the world is unified in the future, our Han culture will be powerful in foreign lands, and all nations will come to the dynasty. It is to make people fear, but to make people awe, both to fear and to respect.”

"Fear can prevent foreigners from easily provoking my big man, but respect means admiration. The Taiwei's words are thought-provoking!" Zhong Yao took a sip of tea and looked at Lu Bu with a smile.

"It's not that profound. Bunai is a rough man. In terms of knowledge, he is not as good as the two of them." Lu Bu shook his head.

"The talent of the Taiwei was praised endlessly by Duke Bojie during his lifetime. How can we dare to compare with him?" Zhong Yao shook his head quickly.

Lu Bu glanced at him, said nothing more, and turned to Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, after the Tai Chi chariot passes, I intend to move the capital. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Before Liu Xie could speak, Yang Biao frowned slightly and said: "Lieutenant, moving the capital is a big deal. In the past, Dong Zhuo moved the capital rashly, which caused the decline of the Han Dynasty. Now if we move the capital again, it will inevitably shake the destiny of the country!"

When Liu Xie heard this, he also looked at Lu Bu and said, "Captain, you don't know why you want to move the capital to Luoyang?"

"Now in Guanzhong, after ten years of training, we have well-equipped soldiers. I think it is time to send troops to attack the princes of Guandong, clear the world, and restore the Han Dynasty." Lu Bu said to Liu Xie, cupping his fists.

"Are we going to send troops now?" Zhong Yao and Yang Biao frowned at the same time, but Yang Biao didn't speak anymore, but Zhong Yao frowned and said: "Lieutenant, soldiers are important matters of the country and must be used with caution. If it is misused rashly, once it fails, it may even ruin the country's destiny."

"Ten years of planning, now that I have decided to send troops this time, I naturally have some confidence." Lu Bu just smiled after hearing this. The decision to send troops is a foregone conclusion, and no one will change it. The next thing to do is He needed a righteous name. As for how to fight, he had already discussed it several times with Guo Jia, Xu Shu, Xun You, Pang Tong and other important officials from the Ministry of War and Ministry of Civil Affairs. There was no need to discuss this matter. This time, Lu Bu also went on the expedition himself.

"It is precisely because we are preparing to pacify the Central Plains that Chang'an is already somewhat remote. I am planning to move the capital to Luoyang. What do you think, Your Majesty?" Lu Bu looked at Liu Xie and asked.

"This..." Liu Xie hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "Moving the capital is of great importance. I think this matter should be discussed with the ministers after returning to Chang'an."

Lu Bu did not object and nodded: "I want to decide this matter before attacking Yuan Shao in Hebei. By then, all the land in Hebei will be under the control of the imperial court, and it will be easier to dispatch and govern in Luoyang than in Chang'an."

"The words of the Taiwei are quite reasonable. After I return to the court this time, I will convene the ministers to discuss this matter." Liu Xie quite agreed with Lu Bu's proposal. If the Central Plains is really restored, Luoyang is indeed more suitable than Chang'an. .

After the four of them had breakfast, they walked around Luoyang City a few more times to see the new changes in Luoyang City. In the next few days, Lu Bu and Liu Xie separated and inspected Hulao, Yique and other important passes. Also take a look at how the defense at various checkpoints is doing now.

In addition, I also want to meet my old generals such as Wei Xu, Wei Yue, and Song Xian.

After not seeing each other for many years, everyone seemed to have become a little older, which made Lu Bu once again lament the passage of time, which was also very sad.

However, rumors about Lu Bu's preparations to attack the princes of Guandong also spread in the past few days.

"Don't worry about this matter." Looking at the officials who came to report the matter, Lu Bu didn't seem to care about the leak of the news.

"Lord, if the princes of Guandong are on guard, wouldn't our army be quite passive?" After the people left, Yang Xiu, who was following Lu Bu, frowned.

After the second imperial examination, Yang Xiu was transferred back from Shangdang due to his outstanding political achievements, and also joined the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He was considered a close minister of Lu Bu and qualified to participate in Lu Bu's discussions.

"Isn't it a good thing to be passive?" Lu Bu glanced at Yang Xiu and said with a smile: "Every area under our army's jurisdiction has a strong pass to defend. If the enemy attacks, the defender will naturally have the advantage."

That's the truth, but this is war!

Yang Xiu's mind suddenly moved and he suddenly looked at Lu Bu and said, "Master, do you want a reason to conquer the princes?"

"It's not hard to find a reason, but it's hard to follow the will of the people." Lu Bu nodded, and then shook his head. Now that he wants to conquer Guandong, it's not difficult to find a reason. What's difficult is how to make this conquest work for others. It feels like it is a trick to attack the enemy head-on rather than holding the emperor hostage to control the princes.

Therefore, it is much easier for the princes to do evil things than Lu Bu can just find a reason to fight them out. In addition, after the Tai Chi train is opened to traffic, various supplies will be delivered in an endless stream. It is impossible to hide the news from Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. It would be better to do this. Show your trump card openly and let the other party make the first move after feeling threatened.

Yang Xiu's face turned pale, he quickly stood up and knelt down, and bowed to Lu Bu: "My lord, my father has absolutely no evil intentions!"

Although he didn't know who would accompany Lu Bu on that day, Liu Xie couldn't say, and he didn't have the channel to pass on the news, but Yang Biao and Zhong Yao were still there, and it was very likely that these two people contributed the idea.

"I believe it." Lu Bu stretched out his hand to help Yang Xiu up and said, "Don't worry, the old lady is a veteran of three dynasties. I have no intention of making things difficult."

If someone else had said this, Yang Xiu would have believed it, but when it came from Lu Bu's mouth, it was really hard to believe. After all, Lu Bu understood everything about his attitude towards scholars.

Yang Xiu once again made sure that Lu Bu's expression didn't seem to be fake. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and his brain resumed functioning. Suddenly he looked at Lu Bu in shock: "Lieutenant, this news..."

It's impossible for his father, and Lu Bu doesn't look like he's looking for trouble, so there's only one possibility for him to be so sure... He leaked the news himself!
