Chapter 201: Unconsciously, I seem to have changed as a different person
After the rain passed, the army set off immediately, and after two days in a row, Xingzhe and the others were going back to the capital at noon. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Da Lao Yuan Xingzhe saw the city wall of the capital, the full name of the capital is Chang'an City, but people already like the city, a prosperous city, for the capital.
For the first time, Xingzhe began to carefully look at the most prosperous city in the Tang Dynasty, it was so strange and somewhat familiar. Along the way, the soldiers in the army have been discussing the prosperity of Chang'an City, and even the history of Chang'an City.
Xingzhe didn't have much to do along the way, so he should have listened to the old gentleman talk about history, listened to the soldiers talk about the way, and had a more comprehensive understanding of the capital.
As the core of the entire Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City is itself a large-scale military fortification. In addition to the tall and solid wall and the urn city and other buildings, there are many supporting military facilities on the top of the city wall, among which the most operational defense function is the four hidden military caves, one each in the east, west, north and south, each one is ten meters long, seven meters wide, seven meters deep, divided into two layers, can accommodate more than 100 people.
Outside the walls is a moat, and above the moat is a drawbridge. The suspension bridge in Luoyang City is very heavy because the suspension bridge is very thick and very strong.
One of the great benefits of this design is that it prevents the siege decks from breaking through the gates. The city gate cannot be designed to be too thick because it needs to be opened and closed by manpower, but the suspension bridge is different.
Using hand-cranked pulleys can pull very heavy things with very little force, so the suspension bridge is designed to be as thick and heavy as possible.
Chang'an City has four city gates in the east, west, south and north, and each gate has the same, thick and strong suspension bridge in front of each gate.
The bricks of Chang'an City are all fired by special technology, which is also very different from ordinary bricks. The bricks of Luoyang City are not only harder, but also much heavier than ordinary bricks.
Such a structure, Chang'an City was built specifically for war. The armies of few countries can break through the defenses of Chang'an City, even if they attack with artillery, if they hit the city wall, then I will not play a big role, at most two ballasts.
When Xingzhe returned to the capital, it was the time when the morning was transitioning to noon, and it was a very contradictory time, everything was switching between deep sleep and wakefulness.
Some unknown and unnamed birds, standing on the swaying reeds, holding their heads high and shaking their wings, competing with each other to show off their moving songs, and their melodious songs are like clouds and flowing water rolling on the green reed waves.
In the fresh air, there are lingering sounds, the breeze blows the pink lotus swaying, the fresh yellow lotus pod that has just shed its petals is full of fragrance, and many red-winged and blue-headed dragonflies are flying and stopping on it, and they are reluctant to leave.
The people in the capital had already gotten up early, had a simple breakfast, and then took their tools and prepared for the day's work.
Their wives and children saw them off, and they told them something. Although they were all words that had to be repeated every day, the man listened to them and was not disgusted, on the contrary, the faces of their family were filled with happiness.
Sometimes Xingzhe will envy them very much, the life is carefree, the life is simple, there is a happy home, and there is a woman worth paying.
But this thought was only fleeting, and Xingzhe knew that all this happiness was only superficial. If the class system of feudal society is not abolished, then all happiness is just a flash in the pan, a moment.
In the warm sunshine, the whole city has already woken up. The antique received the shouting and shouting constantly, and the heat emitted by the steamed buns in the steamer made the whole line cloudy.
A variety of snacks are on the side of the road, bought and sold, and the flavors of various delicacies are mixed together to create an exceptionally good smell.
The merchant flags of the restaurant dance gently in the early morning wind, sending the mellow aroma of the wine everywhere, and people will have a feeling of being drunk when they walk on the street.
On the contrary, the sheng song and swallow dance in some entertainment venues have become the noise of this ancient city, destroying the atmosphere of the ancient city. But I have to say that because it sounds good, the people are also very good-looking.
After coming to the capital so many times, it was the first time that Xingzhe wanted to enjoy the scenery of the capital so carefully now. Xingzhe was riding on horseback, looking a little dazed.
The avenues of Chang'an City are connected with countless small streets and alleys, where buffaloes, white horses, and fragrant wood carts come and go on the streets, and there is an endless stream
The cars of the princes and nobles crisscross the road of Chang'an City, there is a gorgeous car cover carved with a dragon, and the car with a tassel hanging on the phoenix mouth on the car cover travels through Chang'an City from morning to night.
Swarms of bees and butterflies fly in front of the doors of each house, green trees, silver platforms, reflecting many colors in the sun.
The pavilion road and the window of the house are engraved with the pattern of acacia flowers, and the double que of the ridge connected by the two watchtowers is like a golden phoenix hanging its wings.
The ladies in the pavilion look at each other and don't know who the other party is, and they will know each other when they meet on the road?
When asked if they had ever given a, they replied that they had learned to dance to spend their time in the mood for love. As long as you can stay with your beloved, you will be willing to die, and as long as you can stay with your beloved, you are willing to be a mortal and not envy the gods.
Flounder and Mandarin Duck are really enviable, but you can't see them in pairs.
I hate the embroidery of solitary luan in front of the tent, and I wish to paste the door curtain with a swallow that flies around the beams of flowers and trees, and the drapery and emerald feathers are sprinkled with tulip spices.
The sideburns are like floating light clouds, combed into the shape of cicada wings, and painted a baby yellow crescent-shaped figure on the forehead.
Beautiful women with bright yellow crescent-shaped patterns on their foreheads, red lips and white teeth travel with the car, they are charming and charming.
The frivolous child rode a horse with blue dots on a white background, and a singer sat in the car with dragon hinges.
Soon it was so quiet that you could hear the crows in front of the Imperial Mansion, and there were birds in the trees in front of the Imperial Mansion that wanted to rest.
The luxurious road next to the mansion could be faintly seen from the car, and the curtain on the car hid the strong river embankment in the distance.
The prostitutes thought about the prostitutes day and night, and their melodious singing and the fragrance emanating from their bodies filled the room. The prostitutes had fun with the beautiful prostitutes every night, and in the morning they rode their horses like clouds.
The road under the feet of the prostitutes is connected to the brothels, and the streets of Chang'an are crisscrossed in all directions, connecting with the market.
The weak green willows and locust branches hung on the ground, and the lively sound of the chariots and horses also sounded at night. The cavalry of the Forbidden Army came, and they drank in the brothels. The beautiful garments of the prostitutes were untied for them, and the dance was danced for them.
The dignitaries started to be generals, and they were around the emperor without giving in. The powerful will not be compatible with the virtuous ministers, and they will be excluded everywhere.
Authoritarian people think they are heroes and heroes, and they ride horses triumphantly. The prostitute thinks that his dancing skills are superior to those of the ages, and the hero thinks that his wealth is greater than that of the five princes.
Things in the world will definitely change greatly, and in the luxurious mansion of the past, only a few green pines are seen. In the Han Dynasty, after being disappointed in his career, he was willing to be lonely, and he devoted himself to writing books year after year, and finally became famous for his articles. Only some osmanthus flowers in the bleak Nanshan are flying, hitting people's clothes little by little.
Seongzhe felt like he had changed, he had become too much, and he didn't know what the reason was, maybe it was just an illusion.
