Western Capital, Henan Prefecture, Luoyang.
Before the Qi Dynasty, thirteen dynasties had established their capitals here.
During the Liang Dynasty, Luoyang, serving as the Eastern Capital, was one of the two most important cities in the country and represented the pinnacle of civilized cities at the time.
However, by the end of the Liang Dynasty, after years of war, Luoyang suffered devastating destruction, and its former glory was irretrievably lost.
In the Qi Dynasty, Luoyang continually recovered, and its prosperity eventually surpassed even Chang'an. It was designated as the secondary capital by the Qi Dynasty, second only to the capital city and ranking above the major northern city of Da Ming Prefecture.
At this very moment, Luoyang had become a gathering place for the veterans and renowned scholars of the Qi Dynasty.
Most members of the old faction were also gathered here, regularly holding literary meetings and discussing state affairs.
