After returning to Chang'an, Liu Zhang immediately ordered people to lead Yizhou officials to his residence to rest.
As for Jia Xu, Liu Zhang personally sent him home.
Long before Jia Xu arrived, Liu Zhang had already found him a very decent house in Chang'an City, and it was very close to the palace.
Then Liu Zhang went straight to the palace with Liu Yun, Cai Yan, Wu Ran and others.
Since the capture 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 and was destroyed by Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si and Xianbei, after all, it was expanded by several generations of emperors such as Liu Bang and Liu Che, and its scale and structure are still very grand.
The entire palace is divided into Weiyang Palace, Changle Palace, Mingguang Palace, Guigong, Beigong and Jianzhang Palace.
Weiyang Palace, also known as West Palace, is the residence of the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty.
The emperor's residence was naturally the largest.
After Dong Zhuo moved the capital, he made Weiyang Palace the palace of the previous dynasty.
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 a palace for court meetings.
There are two palaces to the north of Weiyang Palace, Guigong and Beigong from west to east.
Both palaces were inhabited by concubines, but they were built at different times.
The North Palace was built during the period of Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the Guigong was built during the period of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
The two palaces are similar in size but built in very different styles.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty completed the construction, Gui Palace was extremely luxurious.
However, with the relocation of the capital of the Han Dynasty, Chang'an experienced many ravages, and both Beigong and Guigong were no longer what they used to be.
To the west of Weiyang Palace is Jianzhang Palace, which was built for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che.
Jianzhang Palace is huge in scale, with tens of millions of households!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, once held court meetings and administered government affairs here!
It is a pity that such a majestic palace was captured and burned during Wang Mang's period.
To this day, the roof of Jianzhang Palace is still damaged in many places and is no longer usable.
The northernmost part of the entire palace is Mingguang Palace, which was also built by Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
This palace was built a bit strangely, it was actually built to pray for the arrival of gods!
However, like other palaces, Mingguang Palace has not been repaired for nearly a hundred years and is unusable.
As a time traveler, how could Liu Zhang believe in the theory of gods?
There happened to be no time to take care of it, so Mingguang Palace could only be abandoned temporarily.
There is also an arsenal to the east of Weiyang Palace, which can still be used after some repairs.
To the east of the arsenal is the last palace in the entire palace, Changle Palace.
The significance of Changle Palace is quite profound!
Changle Palace is located to the east of Weiyang Palace, also known as the East Palace.
It was the first formal palace in the Han Dynasty that was rebuilt from the Xingle Palace, a former palace in the Qin Dynasty.
When Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was in power, he lived in Changle Palace.
However, after Liu Bang, the palace was occupied by the Queen Mother, which was also the result of Lu Fei's intervention in politics.
After Dong Zhuo moved the capital, the main renovation projects were Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace.
Although after repeated destruction, Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace were not much better, but compared to other leaky palaces, they were naturally the best choice.
Weiyang Palace has been used by Liu Zhang as the venue for future court meetings.
As for residence, naturally they can only move into Changle Palace, which is still intact.
According to the practice of the Han Dynasty, the emperor and his concubines actually had separate palaces.
Liu Zhang considered that he was not the emperor yet and had limited funds at the moment, so he did not waste manpower on repairing the palace.
Anyway, Changle Palace is very big, and there is no problem living with Liu Yun, Cai Yan, and Wu Ran.
As for Liu Zhang's sons and daughters, they are still young and can be moved to Guigong or Beigong by their servants.
This time Liu Yun and others came to Chang'an, which was actually the same as moving. Therefore, all the maids and entourage of Yizhou Prefectural Mufu followed them to Chang'an.
After all, he is the lord of Yizhou. As the governor of the state of General Wei, servants are indispensable!
Their arrival greatly alleviated the embarrassing problem of the entire palace being filled with soldiers.
For safety reasons, all guards in the palace are served by soldiers trapped in the camp.
Of course Liu Zhang couldn't let these elite soldiers clean the house!
Therefore, hygiene issues have always troubled Liu Zhang. Even Weiyang Palace still has many places covered in dust!
Although hundreds of servants are a drop in the bucket for a huge palace, they are still better than nothing.
After nearly a hundred people entered the palace, they immediately started busy.
Because these servants discovered 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 to visit the palace.
Cai Yan and Wu Ran had never seen a palace of this size before, and they had never been there personally. Naturally, they looked like country people entering the city.
The two girls looked at the dilapidated palace and marveled at it. Even the Jianzhang Palace that was burned down was overjoyed.
Even the big hole in the roof can be discussed for a long time!
Probably because he thought about living in such a magnificent palace in the future, his eyes could not suppress the joy.
Liu Zhang did not laugh at Cai Yan and Wu Ran at all, and expressed his understanding. Even if the roof of the palace in Chang'an City is completely leaking, it is not comparable to the Zhou Mufu in Chengdu!
Even when Liu Zhang came to Chang'an Palace for the first time, he still looked like he had never seen the world before.
Compared with Cai Yan and Wu Ran, Princess Liu Yun, who has lived in the palace since childhood, is much calmer.
However, even the princess who lived in Luoyang Palace all year round was amazed by the scale of Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace.
It's very simple. The South Palace and the North Palace in Luoyang combined are not as big as Weiyang Palace, let alone Changle Palace!
Just when Liu Zhang was about to brag proudly, he suddenly noticed a trace of sadness in Liu Yun's eyes.
Over the years, Liu Yun's character 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 but appear in his mind.
"Yun'er, what's wrong? Could it be that you don't like it here?"
Liu Yun pursed his lips and smiled, shaking his head slightly.
"How could that be? This place is much bigger than Luoyang Palace..."
Liu Zhang could see Liu Yun's heart at a glance, and couldn't help feeling heartbroken.
"Yun'er, the world is still the same world, and the Han Dynasty is still the same Han Dynasty. We are still descendants of the Queen of the Han Dynasty and descendants of the great ancestor!"
Liu Yun did not resist Liu Zhang's embrace and leaned gently on his chest.
"Um..."
Liu Yun said nothing more. Perhaps only by leaning into Liu Zhang's arms could he truly let go of everything.
Liu Zhang claimed the throne and founded the country, officially creating a nominal confrontation with the imperial court. From now on, the two sides will become more and more at odds.
The Han Dynasty that Liu Yun knew well in the past will gradually disappear.
Perhaps everything has changed since Luoyang Palace was destroyed by a fire!
Speaking of which, history is always surprisingly similar.
Back then, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and burned the Chang'an Palace to the ground. This time, Dong Zhuo's chaos was the same.
Maybe that rhyme is right!
With a Han in the east and a Han in the west, it would be easy for a deer to enter Chang'an.
It's a pity that this disaster cannot be avoided, but a new big man may be getting a new life in Chang'an City!
