His Royal Highness the Crown Prince openly opposed the king. This scene was even more surprising than the governor of Wei Yan, Hanzhong.

After all, even if they want to object, the two of them can say it in private. There is no need to put it on the table, let alone in front of so many ministers.

Zhang Fei, on the other hand, grinned and secretly said that his nephew's pain was not in vain, and he even knew how to open his eyes for him.

Liu Bei also thought of this, looked at Zhang Fei and said with a smile:"Yide, Adou will fight for you."

"hey-hey. Zhang Fei stroked his beard and smiled,"My eldest nephew is kissing me. I have long wanted to give my daughter to my eldest nephew.""

This is true. Liu Chan's two queens in history were both daughters of Zhang Fei.

If Liu Chan hadn't been so young, he might have married into the family.

Liu Bei looked at his son, smiled and explained:"This matter is between my father and you. Uncle has already discussed it, so Adou doesn’t need to worry about it."

"That's right. Zhang Fei then said:"Eldest brother also needs someone by his side. My uncle will go back to Chengdu with him.""

Perhaps considering that Zhang Fei lost Xuzhou once, in short, Liu Bei did not appoint Zhang Fei to guard Hanzhong, and had already communicated with Zhang Fei in advance. It seems that an agreement has been reached.

"Since the father and uncle have discussed it, the son and minister will not object.

Just when everyone thought the matter was over, Liu Chan changed the subject and said,"Father, you just said you wanted to return to Chengdu. Do you want to use Chengdu as your royal city?""

Liu Bei has been promoted to King of Hanzhong, which means that there is Han China.

If there is a country, it is natural to have a capital and a royal city.

For example, if Cao Cao calls Wei Queen, the world will have Wei, and the capital of Wei is Yecheng

"good. Liu Bei nodded and admitted.

Regarding Chengdu as the royal city, this matter has not been discussed, nor does it need to be discussed.

From Liu Bei to the ministers, it is tacitly understood that Chengdu is the core, and there is no second option at all.

Liu Chan Apparently he didn't think so, so he remonstrated:"Father, when Taizu Emperor Gao was the king of Han in the past, he made Nanzheng his royal city and made Hanzhong his capital."

"After all, my father was the king of Hanzhong, not the king of Shu. My sons and ministers privately thought that it would be better to follow Taizu's old ways and make Nanzheng the capital."

This is the real purpose of Liu Chan's objection. No matter who is in charge of Hanzhong, Zhang Fei or Wei Yan, Liu Chan's ultimate purpose is to advise on the affairs of the capital.

Liu Bei looked pleased and said to his left and right:"Look Look, the prince seems to have read history a lot, and he already knows the past events of Taizu, and he is using this to persuade the orphan."

Liu Bei was naturally very happy that Liu Chan had this intention, and his words were full of showing off.

"Congratulations to the king on his successor."All the ministers came to congratulate them.

But neither Liu Bei nor the ministers took Liu Chan's advice to heart.

In their subconscious, how could Nanzheng be compared with Chengdu.

Although the prince meant well, his advice was unavoidable. It's child's play, no one thought about it seriously

"Adou, my father and his ministers have their own concerns about establishing the capital, so you don’t have to worry."Liu Bei said:"Although Taizu made Nanzheng his capital in the past, things are different from the past. We cannot use the old things of four hundred years ago to copy them, and end up being like a tiger but not a dog. Liu

Chan shook his head slightly when he heard this and said:"Hanzhong is the place where the great Han Dynasty flourished. There must be advantages in having the capital here. Why don't we compare one and two and see which one is better in Nanzheng and Chengdu? What do you think, father?" ?"

"oh? Liu Bei suddenly became interested and said with a smile:"Let's compare it to let my father see what Adou has to say." After saying that, Liu

Bei said to the ministers:"Everyone, today you will have a debate with the prince to compare the advantages and disadvantages of Chengdu and Nanzheng.""

After the words fell, one person stood up first, cupped his hands and said:"Your Majesty, why don't I let you start by offering some advice?"

"Okay, Zi Chi can speak freely."Liu Bei smiled and nodded.

The person who spoke was Qin Mi, whose son Zichi was an official and engaged in offering wine.

"Your Highness. Qin Mi raised his hands to Liu Chan and said,"Let me explain the benefits of making Chengdu the capital.""

"Qin sacrifices wine but it doesn't matter. Liu Chan raised his hand to indicate

"In the middle of Shu, there are dangerous fortresses, thousands of miles of fertile fields, a land of abundance, and abundant supplies."Qin Mi talked eloquently,"With Chengdu as the core, the surrounding areas are plains, with vast arable land and extremely developed agriculture."

"The Hanzhong War lasted for two years, and the country was in urgent need of recuperation. With Chengdu as the core, it could better support its troops and people."

"On the other hand, Hanzhong has a small land and is plagued by Cao thieves. Qin Mi continued:"Your Highness, you know that after the Cao thieves were defeated, they not only moved away the entire population of Hanzhong, but also destroyed all the cultivated land, farmland, and crops.""

On the basis of destroying what you can't get, after Cao Cao withdrew from Hanzhong, he took away all the people in Hanzhong and ruined all the land.

"Comparing the two, Sichuan is a land of abundance, while Hanzhong is in ruins. That’s why Chengdu is better than Nanzheng!"

After Qin Mi finished speaking, he bowed to Liu Chan and said,"I offend you, your highness.""

"Discussing matters as they arise, there is no need for Qin Jijiu to do so."Liu Chan smiled and shook his head, and then said:"In short, on the grounds that Qin sacrifices wine for agriculture, it is better to make Chengdu the capital, right?"

"Exactly, His Highness hit the nail on the head, and the subordinate admired him."Qin Mi flattered

"Adou, are you convinced?"Liu Bei asked with a smile.

"Father, don’t be anxious."Liu Chan replied:"Today I am going to have a verbal battle with the ministers. Let's see if any of the ministers can speak. Finally, I will talk to you one by one....refute!"

"Hahaha~" Liu Bei smiled and pointed at Liu Chan, jokingly saying:"This kid is so arrogant, he actually underestimates the ministers under Gu's command. You have to teach him a lesson in a while, so that the prince knows what it means to have people outside of others."

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter in the hall, and the atmosphere was peaceful.

"Qin sacrifices wine and jade in front of me. Let me tell you a little more about this vulgar person."Wei Yan stood up with his fists clasped in his hands.

"The article is long and smooth."Liu Bei nodded.

Wei Yan looked at Liu Chan and said,"I don't agree with His Highness's view of setting the capital in Nanzheng. I just explained the Qin sacrifice wine from the agricultural aspect, and I will argue it from the military aspect."

"Compared with placing the capital in Hanzhong, Shuzhong located in the rear is obviously safer and can better ensure that the capital will not be threatened by soldiers."

"To use an inappropriate analogy, the capital city is like the bedroom of every household. Privacy and security must be ensured."

"As everyone knows, Hanzhong is the gateway to Yizhou."

"Placing the capital in Nanzheng is like placing a bedroom at the gate. This will undoubtedly make it easier for thieves to come in. It is inappropriate no matter how you look at it."

"Hahaha~"

After Wei Yan finished speaking, there was another burst of laughter in the hall. Although this analogy is common, it is indeed easy to understand.

The north of Hanzhong is Guanzhong, which is Cao Cao's territory.

Placing the capital in Nanzheng is equivalent to the national border. It is indeed inappropriate from a safety perspective.

Faced with Wei Yan's questioning, Liu Chan remained unmoved and asked with a smile:"Qin's sacrificial wine is to agriculture, and Wei generals are to military. Do you have any other opinions?""

The ministers were noncommittal. In their opinion, these two points were enough and there was no need to say anything more.

"Brother Yu has some opinions."

Liu Chan twitched the corner of his mouth and turned to look at the person who spoke.

Liu Feng.

Liu Chan secretly thought in his heart, and finally couldn't help but add insult to injury.
