Luoyang is located on the south bank of the Yellow River, Ping Pi Mountain in the north, Luoshui in the south, Huhu Prison in the east, Tongguan in the west, surrounded by mountains, Luoyang Plain in the middle, Yi, Luo, Qian, Jian four rivers flow through it, it is not only the situation is dangerous, but also the scenery is beautiful, the soil is fertile, the climate is moderate, and the transportation is convenient.

Therefore, since ancient times, there have been eight dynasties such as Xia, Shang, Eastern Zhou, Eastern Han, Cao Wei, Western Jin, Northern Wei and Sui.

The so-called Heyang Dingdingdi, located in the Central Plains and corresponding to the Quartet, Luoyang is the world's traffic stronghold, military fortress.

After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he chose another capital site in Luoyang and established the new imperial city.

The new imperial city is located between the Zhou Wangcheng and the ancient city of the Han and Wei dynasties, the east is over the Qianshui, the south crosses the Luo River, the west is adjacent to the Jianhe River, the north is by the mountain, the city circumference is more than 50 miles, magnificent and magnificent.

Yang Guang took Luoyang as the center, dug out a grand canal that reaches Hangzhou in the south, reaches Zhuojun in the north, and runs through the north and south, connecting the five major water systems of the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, the Yangtze River and the Qiantang River, and Luoyang has become the central hub of transportation and commerce in the world.

If it weren't for the stability of Chang'an at this time, Luoyang would be more prosperous than Chang'an, but even if most of the rich families went to Chang'an, Luoyang was still extremely prosperous at this time!

On this day, the city gates were opened, and a large number of merchants waiting to enter the city for trading and fishing, and the peasants rushing to the morning market entered the city.

Xu Ziling didn't know the news that Kou Zhong had abandoned his post at this time, and he didn't have long for Kou Zhong to leave that day, when he was ordered to come out of the city with him, but he was sent by a task to let them come to Luoyang.

The two of them were mixed in the crowd at this time, swaggering calmly into the city through the south gate.

The scale of Luoyang is not better than the general small city, only the south city gate will open three gates, the city gate in the middle is named Jianguo Gate, the left is the White Tiger Gate, the right is the Changxia Gate, the model system is magnificent.

At this time, the two of them were not wearing the strong clothes of the Huashan faction, but the simple cloth clothes purchased from the two peasants, each carrying a large bundle of freshly cut vegetables on their shoulders, and casually reporting their identities and names, and the guards guarding the gate let them into the city without difficulty.

As soon as he entered the city gate, Xu Ziling, who had just arrived in your realm, suddenly opened his eyes.

I saw the "Heavenly Street", a street with a width of 100 steps and a run through the north and south gates, which stretched straight in front of me, and I was afraid that it would not be seven or eight miles long.

The street is full of cherry, pomegranate, elm, willow and other kinds of trees, in the middle for the emperor to go out on the royal road, at the turn of spring and summer, peach and willow green, the scenery is picturesque, beautiful.

There are many shops on both sides of the avenue, and between the lanes, each has its own road, and the vertical and horizontal ten streets that run through the major city gates are staggered, and it is orderly.

Ling Hu Chong introduced with a smile at this time: "Luoyang has two major characteristics, Ziling must know. ”

Xu Ziling asked him for advice with great interest, he knew that Ling Hu Chong had extraordinary knowledge, and he had followed Yang Yi to walk the rivers and lakes.

Linghu Chong pointed out: "First of all, it is to take the north and south as the central axis, let Luoshui traverse the whole city, divide Luoyang into two districts in the north and south, and connect it with four bridges, and Luoshui in the city is connected with other Yi, Qian, and Jian three rivers in the city, so that the river in the city lingers, and the beauty of the landscape is moved to the city, giving people a sense of heaven and earth." ”

At this moment, a strange scene suddenly appeared ahead, a sailboat sailed past the Luoshui hidden under the house, and from their point of view, only the top of the sail moved, as if it were a land boat.

Xu Ziling looked at this scene and said happily: "I am used to seeing the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not unusual to lead the water of the rivers and lakes through the city, but it is rare to have a wide and deep straight like Luoshui, which makes Luoyang have a strict and harmonious atmosphere, and the scale of this city, of course, is not comparable to the water town city, what is the other feature?" ”

At this time, the sky is white, and there are more and more people and cars on the street.

From time to time, a group of brightly armored guards walked by on the imperial road, adding a touch of deep and solemn momentum to this beautiful imperial city.

Ling Hu Chong continued: "Another feature is that outside the west wall of Waiguo City, because of its natural environment, the West Garden, west to Xin'an, north to Pishan, south to Yique Mountains, more than 200 miles around, comparable to the Shanglin Garden of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in ancient times, Waiguo City and West Garden are connected together, making Luoyang more large-scale. ”

At this time, the two had already abandoned those vegetables and walked along the street empty-handed, arriving at the south bank of Luoshui.

Linghu Chong pointed to the bridge across Luoshui, connecting the north and south: "This is called Xinzhong Bridge, just look at the scale of this bridge, it specifically and slightly illustrates how Yang Guang worked the people and lost money, it is said that in order to make Luo** the capital of the city, the faint monarch moved from all over the country to tens of thousands of wealthy businessmen, and more than 3,000 craft households in Henan were placed in the southeast corner of Guocheng on the south bank of the Luohe River 12 squares to live, so there is this weather in front of you." ”

He lowered his voice and said: "This is called a bad heart to do a good deed, as long as Uncle Shi frees his hands and takes Luoyang in another day, he will enjoy these construction achievements of Yang Guang, as long as the governance is a little law-free, the prosperity can be expected." ”

Xu Ziling listened in awe, Ling Hu Chong really deserved to be a senior brother, although he seemed to be dedicated to martial arts, but his views on the current situation were extremely insightful, and different, at this time when everyone was making up Yang Guang was not, he could point out that Yang Guang's construction of the capital and the construction of the river was really of great benefit.

After Ling Hu Chong finished speaking, he looked at the restaurant in front of him and said with a smile: "We should find a place to taste Luoyang's good wine." ”

When Xu Ziling heard this, he smiled and said, "Senior brother, Senior Sister Yue told me not to let you drink!" Otherwise, I won't pay attention to you when I go back! ”

Ling Hu Chong no longer had the same high spirits as he did just now, so he could only bow down and beg: "Ling Shao, for the sake of me taking care of you more on weekdays, let me drink a little!" You also know that in our realm, it's not so easy to get drunk! You won't be mistaken! ”

At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind the two of them: "Although the two brothers are ordinary, their knowledge is extraordinary, can you give Hou a certain face, I invited this wine!" ”

Both of them looked behind them at this time, and they saw the person who spoke, and this person's image and temperament were extraordinary!

He is tall and straight, straight and well-proportioned, handsome, with a bamboo hat on his head, but he is dressed as a Confucian student, and it seems that he is elegant and graceful, wise and brave.

The most attractive thing is not only his gentle look that shoots out from the eyes that can teach women to melt, but also the thick black and elegant mustache that grows on his lips, which seems to forever make his masculine face have a proud smile.

He seems to be very approachable, but if he always keeps an insurmountable distance from others.

All of this comes together to form his extraordinary and moving temperament.

"Hou Xibai?" At this time, after Ling Hu Chong looked at him, he looked at his fan and asked in surprise!

"It's Hou, I accidentally heard the two of them talking just now, and it's close to dinner at this time, so I just invite the two of you once to make amends! Yesterday, someone invited Hou to a banquet in the "Dong Family Restaurant", Hou was feeling lonely, I don't know if the two of them can go together, then the Dong family can have good wine! ”

Hou Xibai first hugged his fists and saluted a little, then shook his fan and said!
