Chapter Ninety-Two: The Iron Lion's Grave
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the avant-garde of the government army, Teng Xiang and the four guards each sent 300 people to gather at the root of the city wall outside Anding Gate, attracting some people to watch curiously from afar.
This time, the people and horses are all elite soldiers and strong generals in the guard, and it is an exaggeration to say that one in a thousand miles, but Chang Yu is very satisfied with the burly and robust colors.
Chang Yu watched from afar in the carriage without showing up, Tang Potian, as the temporary commander, made a mobilization speech with emotion, and started training after a cup of tea, which is a necessary item before departure, mainly in case of an attack, how to effectively deal with it, such as what kind of position to take, such as their respective defensive ranges, etc.
To tell the truth, he is not good at this kind of marching and fighting things, although he has joined the army, but mainly in the army's sanda team to play games, and secondly, the layout of modern marching and fighting is very different from that of later generations.
He doesn't understand doesn't mean that no one understands, Teng Xiang Siwei is the emperor's personal guard and the only one who has gone out to fight, he followed Huang Degong to suppress the thieves, and he has experience in this area, such as Cheng Ming, Han Zhong and other thousands of households also participated at that time, so this kind of formation exercise was handed over to them to be responsible.
And Chang Yu only watched half a tea time, and then personally drove the carriage and hurried away.
Guangqumen Huang Zhai, Chunxiang and Jiang Quan have been waiting for a long time, and together with them are Luo Tang and other family members who are on duty in Panjiayao, and they have all been transferred back at this time and replaced by another twenty people.
The reason why it is so twisted and turned, of course, is to hide the matter of burying treasures in Panjiayao, the more than 200 eunuchs who dug the pit, since the pit has not appeared in the house, the treasures are transported by Chunxiang and Jiang Quan and other henchmen and eunuchs, these people Chang Yu can be trusted, but after all, Luo Tang and other family members who are responsible for carrying and filling in the pit are still short days, according to the previous thoughts, these people should be killed secretly!
But Chang Yu thought about it many times, but he couldn't do it.
But he wants to leave Beijing, and these people are not at ease to stay here.
So, he decided to take him out of Beijing and follow Oshiyin westward.
After a few times, only a few henchmen and eunuchs around him who could know exactly what Pan Jiayao was burying treasures were not likely to have, and he could go out of Beijing with peace of mind.
Some people are angry, the original desolate dilapidated house is like a haunted house, since Su Chenghuang and his family moved in and renovated the door of the house, this dilapidated yard suddenly looks like that.
The only difference is that other large families have masters and servants, and they are busy all day long, while the yellow house only has servants but no masters, and the family is also doing some repairs and loose work in the courtyard every day in addition to exercises, and the life is plain, leisurely and fulfilling.
Su Chenghuang could already barely get off the ground on crutches, and the wound of broken bones would naturally not recover so quickly, even if he used Chang Yu to ask Linglong to send imperial medicine from the palace.
The reason why he must get out of bed is because he feels that he is a housekeeper after all, and it is nothing to lie in bed all day long, and occasionally show his face.
However, there are really not many opportunities for him to show his face, limited to the family rules and not entering the backyard, and it is difficult for him to continue to walk to the front yard at this time, at most it is enough to bask in the sun in front of the backyard house.
The happiest about Chang Yu's arrival is the little apple, from hearing the movement, he stood quietly behind the door of the second courtyard and secretly knocked on Chang Yu to talk to those families, and when Chang Yu came over, although he was shy, he couldn't hide his happiness to greet him: "Brother Chang, you are here, have you eaten?" ”
A typical Chinese greeting, Chang Yu felt cute, and stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky: "How long has it been?" ”
Oh, Little Apple lowered her head and whispered back, "Then will you stay here for dinner at night?" ”
Hearing this, Chang Yu turned his head and glanced at Chunxiang at the entrance of the second courtyard in the back house, and then said softly: "There are still some things, I'm afraid it won't work today."
Little Apple looked a little lost, and kept clutching the corner of her clothes, not knowing what to say for a while.
Looking at her red little hands, Chang Yu raised his eyebrows: "What about the warm gloves for you?" ”
"In the room, I just washed it and didn't have time to wear it," Little Apple said quickly.
Chang Yu sighed, reached out and held the two red and cold little hands in his hands, with a look of pity: "Wash it with hot water in the future."
Little Apple was extremely shy, and whispered: "What a waste of firewood......"
"I'm going to go out of Beijing tomorrow, at least ten days, more than half a month, and Uncle Su will take care of it at home."
Although the room is dilapidated but cleaned up very clean, the important thing is to burn the ondol, and the steaming is very comfortable.
Su Chenghuang was a little scared and more ashamed, he didn't need to express his gratitude to Chang Yu, he always felt that he was useless and felt empty, saying that the family couldn't do anything, saying that the housekeeper didn't care about anything, and living in this house felt like a master, otherwise how could there be a housekeeper living in the backyard, this is all for the head of the house to live, not to mention that he has never seen the head of the house.
After saying some words of gratitude, Chang Yu just smiled and responded, so that he didn't have to think about it, just recuperate with peace of mind.
After chatting for a while, Chang Yu felt that the house was a little empty, and also, except for a bed, it was really a home, and there was not even a decent chair.
pulled the little apple, gave him a little silver tael, and explained that Ming'er Linglong would come over to accompany her to buy some furniture with a few family members, and then leave the yellow house in reluctance to get under the apple.
Out of the Yellow House, Chang Yu jumped into the car, and Chunxiang and Jiang Quan rushed forward.
"Where?"
"Taiheiso"
Hey, Chang Yu in the car smiled secretly, he really knows how to pick a place.
Taipingzhuang, a small village outside the city, called North Taipingzhuang in later generations, outside the north three miles of the capital, in fact, in the Yuan Dynasty, Taipingzhuang was still in the city, to the Ming Dynasty when Emperor Chengzu built the city to move the city wall to the south for three miles, Taipingzhuang instantly changed from the people in the city to the people outside the city.
The original name of the village can not be examined, it is said that about in the first year of Ming Jingtai, the Mongolian tile spur invaded the city of Beijing, Yu Qian (not the one of the Deyun Society) led the troops to use the house outside the Desheng gate to fight with the tile spur army, the tile spur cavalry was not good at street fighting, was beaten by the Ming army, after the war, the people who lived in the Desheng gate fled here and survived, so the village name Taipingzhuang.
There is also a saying that in the Qing Dynasty, near this place was originally the barracks of the Eight Banners and the Yellow Banner, which was called the Taiping Camp before liberation, hence the name.
But no matter how the place name is obtained, although the Taipingzhuang at this moment is a small village, in fact, next to it is a large cemetery, the tombs are lined up, the yin qi is bursting, the pedestrians dare not approach at dusk, it is reported that when the Beijing Normal University of the school was built in later generations, there are hundreds of tombstones in the flat tombs, and there are nearly 1,000 nameless graves, which can be seen in its scale.
The pair of iron lions that later generations were named the Iron Lion Tomb were buried here at this time and were not known to the world.
Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the lion has been used as the tomb of the emperor and the prince mausoleum, but most of them are stone lions, and the iron lion is extremely rare, as for the tomb owner of the pair of iron lions, it has not been possible to test, that is, this pair of iron lions were also put into the furnace into molten steel when they were made in five or eight years.
As for the pair of stone lions at the gate of the Beijing Normal University in later generations, it is impossible to know whether it is a tribute or a remembrance, but the Beijing Normal University has always been a famous crow habitat in the capital, which makes people think about it carefully!
