After being thus honored, Bingzhong took on the responsibility of the whole realm, and he said everything he knew on all large and small state affairs without reserve. The emperor trusted him greatly. Those whom he recommended and promoted later became famous ministers. The emperor first ordered Bingzhong to build a city on Longgang to the north of the Dongluan River in Guang Prefecture. Three years later it was finished and named Kaiping, and it became the capital. Yanjing became the auxiliary capital.
