Chapter Ninety-Three: Place des Nations
Zheng Fang looked at Tong Jie's inquiring eyes, scratched his head, and asked tentatively, "Is it okay to go to the Plaza of Nations?"
Tong Jie nodded: "Do you want to see the Taizu Memorial Hall?"
Zheng Fang nodded and said, "Yes." "Actually, not to mention the Taizu Memorial Hall, the Square of the Nations is a place that Zheng Fang desperately wants to go, for the Chinese people, the Plaza of the Nations is a spiritual holy place, in a sense, it can also be said to be a symbol of the country, there is no Chinese people who do not want to see.
Tong Jie nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to Wanguo Square." ”
The two rode through the streets and alleys, speeding all the way. Zheng Fang found that riding a bicycle in the northern capital was too correct choice, the northern capital was too big, and it was too big to walk on two feet, not to mention tiring people, and time did not allow. Driving, many small alleys you can't drive into the car at all, only bicycles, two wheels brushed, what corners are swept by, not much effort, the two came to the Place of Nations.
Tong Jie found a store nearby, locked the car in front of the store, and the two walked into the square together. Zheng Fang stood on the vast Plaza des Nations, and suddenly felt open-minded.
Tong Jie said on the side: "This is the Square of All Nations, when our country was strong, the envoys from all over the world who came to worship had to dismount outside this square, leave the sedan chair, and walk to the front of the Chaotian Gate, look, the canal that passes through the square from west to east is called Tianhe, and the Huayu bridge on the Tianhe River is called Wanchen Bridge, symbolizing that all countries in the world are our Chinese courtiers." After the Wanchen Bridge, the Huayu staircase that goes straight to Chaotianmen, also called the ladder of worship, the envoys who were qualified to meet the emperor of Huaguo at that time followed these steps, and knocked through Chaotianmen step by step into the imperial city. Have you seen that Huayu pillar outside the Wanchen Bridge? If you look further west, there's another one over there. The two Chinese watches standing opposite each other on the east and west of this square represent an invisible line, and all foreign envoys who come to worship must not cross it unless they are qualified to meet the emperor, and must bow down to the gate of heaven behind that line. It is said that at its peak, there were thousands of envoys from all over the country lining up here to worship at the same time, and that scene is still fascinating. ”
Zheng Fang nodded his head again and again, and he could imagine that different countries, different races, different skin colors, and different costumes converged into a huge torrent in this square, and people admired their hearts, their faces were clean, and in the melodious and majestic sound of bells and drums, they fell to the ground again and again, worshipping this center of power in the East, a prosperous holy land, and a great country.
Tong Jie continued: "However, in modern times, our Chinese country has declined, and foreign countries have entered the northern capital, and military parades are often held in the Plaza of Nations, which is regarded as the national shame of our Chinese country, and this national shame has lasted for hundreds of years. ”
Zheng Fang nodded slightly, and in front of him seemed to follow Tong Jie's narration, an army of great powers appeared, and in this Place of Nations, he walked with his head held high, slanting at the withering sunset on the gate of Chaotian.
Tong Jie led Zheng Fang to walk slowly on the Wanguo Square, looking at the majestic buildings around, the joyful tourists on the square, the mighty soldiers under the national flag, and the red flag fluttering on the gate of Chaotian. ”
Zheng Fang raised his eyes and saw a long queue in front of a small building on the south side of the Plaza des Nations.
Zheng Fang observed for a moment and said to Tong Jie: "Don't buy a ticket, hurry up and queue up." As he spoke, he ran towards the end of the line, and Tong Jie hurriedly followed.
The two lined up for a while, and the speed of the line was okay, but Tong Jie was a little impatient, and frowned: "When is this going to be queued?"
Zheng Fangdao: "The speed is okay, why is there a hurry? Your family is in the Northern Capital, have you seen Taizu before?"
Tong Jie shook her head: "Except for the movie, I haven't seen a real person, there was a big event in the Plaza of Nations in the past, and grandpa and grandma didn't bring me over." ”
Zheng Fangdao: "So, since you have the opportunity to see the real person with your own eyes, what's the point of lining up?"
The two chatted in row, and soon, they entered the Taizu Memorial Hall. The Taizu Memorial Hall, which has just been completed, is still simple, but the face of Taizu in the crystal coffin is lifelike.
Zheng Fang stared at Taizu who seemed to be sleeping, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart, he had just walked through the Plaza of Nations, and seeing Taizu's face at this moment, Zheng Fang couldn't help but have the most intuitive experience of Taizu's great achievements. He looked at the flow of people surrounding Taizu's body to pay respects, some people had tears in their eyes, some people cried bitterly, some people were absent-minded, some people looked numb, and some people looked curious.
He thought, this is probably the thousand postures behind a great man. Speaking of which, Zheng Fang, as a descendant of a landlord, should have complicated feelings for Taizu, who was as ruthless and merciless as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves of the exploiting class.
But the strange thing is that Zheng Fang found that his feelings for Taizu were unusually pure, and he thought that this might be because he existed as a Chinese person before he was a descendant of a landlord. Taizu swept away the evils of the Chinese country for a hundred years, and rejuvenated the poor and weak Chinese country, Taizu was not afraid of power, and dared to use his weak national strength to wrestle with Xiong Xiu and Emperor Mi, so that the bullied Chinese people could stand again in the forest of the world's nations, and would no longer be despised by others.
Although Taizu failed to reproduce the beautiful scenery of the coming dynasty of the Chinese Kingdom in the past, the foreign army could no longer trample on this vast land, this sacred square, which could not help but make every Chinese person sincerely admire and admire Taizu.
If it were not for Taizu, would the millions of heroes under his command still be invincible? If it were not for Taizu, would the hundreds of millions of people in Huaguo, a vast land with different languages, cultures, and customs, still be able to unite as one? These are all terrible unknowns. Fortunately, history is not possible, and Huaguo, the giant of the East, finally stood up because of Taizu.
After Taizu passed away, even if Zheng Fang was far away in Zhengjiawan, Huxi County, he could hear some whispers about Taizu, for those, Zheng Fang in the past was not very clear, and now, when Zheng Fang stood in Wanguo Square and stood in front of Taizu Memorial Hall, he couldn't help but think of what Tong Jie said to Zhang Qinqin.
When a person dies, can other people arrange him at will? No! Not only not for ordinary people, but also for a great man who has made such great achievements! He Zheng Fang will not agree in the first place! Not for anything else, but for the blood of the Chinese that flows in Zheng Fang's body all the time!
Zheng Fang and Tong Jie came out of the Taizu Memorial Hall, and Tong Jie proposed to go home, the time was not early, it was time to go back for lunch. The two of them talked and laughed and returned to the door of the parked store, and were dumbfounded, leaving only two cut locks on the ground, and the car was stolen!
Tong Jie was anxious at the time, and paused and said, "The car is still borrowed from his father, how can this be done?"
Zheng Fang was also speechless in his heart, the heart of Huaguo, the thief was too arrogant, right? I felt that it didn't take long for me and Tong Jie to walk away, just this moment, the two bicycles were all stolen! He picked up the two car locks and examined them carefully, and said to Tong Jie: "Don't worry, think carefully about how long it has been since the car was stolen, you can see it from the square, it is estimated that it will not be long?"
Tong Jie listened to Zheng Fang's words, and also knew that it was useless to be anxious, so she frowned and thought about it at the moment, and said to Zheng Fang: "Before I went to the Taizu Memorial Hall, I also paid attention to this side, and the car was still there at that time. ”
Zheng Fang nodded and said: "We queued up for less than an hour, and we went in for a few minutes at most, that is to say, the car thieves stole for less than an hour at most, and they couldn't run far." ”
As Zheng Fang spoke, he raised his eyes and searched around, aiming at a tall building, and said to Tong Jie: "You wait for me." As he spoke, he raised his feet and ran towards the tall building, and on the way he started without a trace, and the pedestrians on the street only felt that their eyes were sparkling, Zheng Fang had already swept over, and in the blink of an eye, Zheng Fang came downstairs. He walked into the main entrance of the building and found that it was a hall, like a hotel, and a young woman was lying there looking at something at the front desk, and Zheng Fang came in without raising her head.
Zheng Fang saw that there was a beam on the side of the hall that took him to the elevator he took to meet the strange ghost, if it wasn't for the purpose of finding a bicycle, Zheng Fang designated to experience it again. At this moment, he decisively chose the stairs and rushed up in three steps and two steps. Blessed with no trace, Zheng Fang, who was running with all his might, the speed was not too fast, almost in one breath, Zheng Fang had already gone to the top floor, pushed open an unlocked skylight, and Zheng Fang came to the roof of the building.
The roof of the building is an antique building, and the high ridge is covered with tiles on both sides, and some weeds grow in the middle of the tiles. Zheng Fang thought inexplicably, the roof of this building should also be cleaned up.
Zheng Fang quickly followed the four sides of the building, looking down, he advanced to the second floor in all directions, and entered the high level in the realm, his eyesight was already extremely keen, not to mention standing on the top of the building, condescending, with an extremely wide field of vision, at that time, there were not many high-rise buildings in the northern capital, Zheng Fang chose a range of ten to twenty kilometers to search, and it took almost no effort to see two guys riding stolen bicycles, walking through the alley casually.
Zheng Fang stared at the two fiercely, firmly remembering the location of the two in his heart, it is strange to say, his gaze, the image of the two people seemed to enter his mind, no need to look at it anymore, closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to see the figure and position of the two riding forward. He didn't know that he had unknowingly left his own spiritual power imprint on the two of them, and at this time, even if the two fled to the ends of the earth, they couldn't escape his induction.
Zheng Fang felt that he remembered the image and location of the two people who stole the car, and then looked down to find a slightly lower building in the direction of the car thief, he quickly selected one, and his figure jumped up suddenly, and took a few steps into the air towards the building.
