Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ info
When Emperor Taizu set the capital, the first choice was this place, and at that time, Haiyue Zhenjun had written: "According to the danger of one hundred and two rivers and mountains, you can tower the hope of the princes, and lift the world to win the place, as good as Guanzhong", so the capital is here.
Coupled with the several expansions and thickening of this dynasty, this city has long been the first scale of Middle Earth, eighty miles from east to west, one hundred miles from north to south, you can't see the edge at a glance, the closer you get to the vicinity of this city, the more you can feel the prosperity here like brocade, the fire cooking oil, if you are a person without common sense, it is really difficult to associate it with the disaster of the nine provinces and hundred cities, as if the starvation is all over the wilderness, the disaster and famine for many years, and here is not a world at all.
There is a way to be a cannon at the foot of the imperial city, as a flat-headed people who live in the same place as the emperor Lao'er, naturally they are also eyelids to the sky, and the topic of discussion is either that the emperor Lao'er drank a few bowls of porridge today, or that the old Wang has written several times, asking the household department to allocate disaster relief money and food.
However, in recent days, these idle men and small households have been discussing all one topic, that is, the water and land conference held in two months, especially the immortals who used to be like dragons and could not see the beginning and end, but also one after another, or riding clouds, or driving deer, monks and monks, and there is an endless stream.
"This is what you haven't seen, how can the real Taoist master still need to show some means, naturally there will be people from the palace to invite him out of the city, last time the Hua Yao fairy entered Beijing, but there was a female official in the city to invite it!"
"That's different, what kind of character is Fairy Hua Yao? That's the niece of our Queen Mother, if she didn't go to the fairy, she would probably be the title of a princess of the county, but she was from her own family. โ
"What about the Qi Zhenren in the Legend of the Immortals? That is the master of the Tao during the Taizong period, wasn't he also invited in by the Imperial Forest Army, according to my grandfather, he was treated by this Qi Zhenren when he was a child, and the appearance of the real person was exactly the same as back then, and it has not changed at all. โ
A table, three or two idlers, just inferior wine peanuts, saliva flying, can blow for a long time, one of the idlers just said Xingtou, suddenly his eyes widened, showing an extremely stunned expression: "How is this-"
"Why are you so like?" Several other people also looked back, only to see that in addition to the straight gate of the main road, the other two side gates and six small gates of Chang'an City opened almost at the same time in the sound of 'squeak', and the cavalry was endless.
The ladies, eunuchs, and tall horsemen in the horse caravan, holding ten sets of jade books, golden books, purple brocade, five-colored silk, red geese, mirrors, and French robes, crowns, and shoes, swept over like gusts of wind, leaving only the panicked flat-headed people.
"This, thisโ" The idle man's mouth couldn't be closed, "even if it's the brother of the old emperor, the lord of a foreign country, and the envoy of Fanbang, I'm afraid they don't have this treatment!"
But what is even more surprising is still to come, only a moment after the envoys of the imperial court left, another horse team rushed over, although the number was much smaller, and most of them were female officials, and under the embroidered hem, they were also embroidered with golden flowers, all of them had delicate faces and arrogant expressions.
Even the characters who grew up at the foot of this imperial city couldn't recognize the other party's origin for a while, until an old woman muttered to herself, "Could it be Concubine Feng's embroidered female guard?"
"Embroidered Guard!!" someone suddenly shouted, with a look of fear on his face, as if recalling the bloody years of the year.
The first emperor died unexpectedly early that year, and the palace fell into the situation of nine dragons seizing the heir, and in the court, there was no lack of ambitious people, it was the Feng concubine of the year, that is, the current queen mother, the woman was autocratic, with the support of a group of ministers who cared for their lives, beheaded evil and delusional, killed traitorous ministers, shocked the government and the opposition, and protected the peace of the world.
It's just that unlike the female emperor, after His Majesty ascended the throne today, the Queen Mother automatically gave up her authority and lived in seclusion in the inner courtyard of the deep palace.
Unexpectedly, now, this female internal guard still exists, and looking at this situation, it seems that it is also to welcome this mysterious person.
"Look, it's the Lord of Yunyang!"
I saw that in the center of Feng Wei, there was a tall woman wearing a big red dress, riding a five-flowered horse, and wearing a veil.
"Even His Royal Highness, the county lord who has always been delicate, ran out, could it be that he is really a member of the royal family?"
However, the next picture broke the idle man's speculation, only to see that in the overlord gate on the left, a group of people and horses also soared out, each dressed in black, with wide shoulders and all kinds of weapons hanging on their waists, and in this imperial city, they can carry blades in a grand manner, walk through the streets and alleys, and are not tabooed by the guards, there is only one identity-
"Six doors!"
"It's them!"
"After hiding for so long, did the people of the Six Doors finally appear?"
If the first two are just surprises, then the move of the six doors has made people from all walks of life reverie, since the death of the marquis, although the old emperor's favor has not diminished, so that his disciple Li Ziyun inherited the position of marquis and led the six gates and three mansions, but the discerning people know that its momentum is not as good as before, and the current move, but I don't know what the purpose is.
However, as soon as this group of men and horses came out of the city gate, they were stopped, to be exact, they were stopped by the government soldiers who came out of the alleys, these government soldiers were all wearing a hundred forged iron armor, holding steel blades, and their eyes showed a fierce light, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, those who dared to gather people to fight were afraid that there was only His Royal Highness the bold and reckless King.
Fortunately, all the men in the six doors were skilled in bow and horses, and their bodies were vigorous, and in a few moments, they restrained the horses, but they were also tense and ready for battle at any time.
The black mole general led by him said gloomily: "Cao Ye, you are so bold, you still dare to come out, the assassination case of His Royal Highness the Prince, not only did you not solve it, but also harbored a female assassin, do you really dare to be lawless when Your Majesty thinks of the favor of the marquis?!"
Six doors, the inner door master Cao Ye is a big man, his predecessor is a well-known swordsman on the rivers and lakes, I don't know how many evil bandits he has killed, so in the face of such a sinister scene, there is no fear at all, "I have six doors to handle the case, I have my own charter, I don't care about His Highness, who is the real murderer who assassinated, and I may not be able to give an explanation to His Highness, but the guest comes to the door, please don't stop it!"
"Even if it is a distinguished guest, it is also a distinguished guest of His Royal Highness the Second Prince of my family, and someone will go to greet you, you eagle dogs, you still have peace of mind to investigate your case, you don't have to worry about this matter!"
"Where did General Zhang say, what did you call ......?"
And at this moment, standing on the city wall, there is a quiet and elegant noble son, looking at the tense scene in front of him, and smiled lightly: "A distinguished guest is a distinguished guest, father, grandmother, and sister Yang, including my younger brother, who is not a weapon, but they all sent people out of the city to greet them." โ
"This is just on the surface, the dignitaries in the court, the nobles in the city, and even the Xuandu Division seem to have prepared invitations," the attendant behind him whispered.
"Ahem, that's no way, everyone wants to prolong their lives, and even live forever, there is a way to give birth to this one, Xiao Zhao, take my order, let the second brother's men retreat, my father has been in a bad mood recently, but I can't let him hear any unpleasant news." โ
"Yes. โ
"Yu Shilang, I heard that you have a good relationship with this person, why don't you go and visit?"
"Yes," the young official behind him hesitated, but finally nodded yes, his head raised slightly, revealing a familiar face-
And the core of the turmoil in the capital, a dilapidated carriage is leisurely walking on the official road, there is no coachman, but the horses are walking docilely, occasionally stopping to eat grass, and then continue to walk, just like the people in the carriage, leisurely and comfortable.
Suddenly, a three-inch villain jumped out of the carriage and touched his bald head, "My Buddha is compassionate, is this about to go to the capital?"
"It's not that I'm lying to you, we're really going the wrong way, the direction of Chang'an City should be to the west!"
