Chapter 595: Luoyang, the Eastern Capital
Two days later, at the gate of the Tang Workshop, a war horse stopped here, and the cavalry on horseback was extremely tired. After two days of rapid travel, even the battle-hardened old soldiers were a little unbearable.
endured, walked into the workshop, and rushed to the eldest princess's residence at this time. The eldest princess lives with Miss Lin at this time, which is convenient for Miss Lin to take care of, and she also likes to talk to Miss Lin.
When the maid in the courtyard saw a tired Feng Wei breaking into the courtyard, she was startled when she saw him dressed in dust.
That Fengwei saw that the eldest princess was in the courtyard at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects.
At this time, Yiyang also glanced at this Feng Wei, the Feng Wei of the Tang Workshop was well distinguished from the forbidden army in the palace in his armor, and she naturally recognized it at a glance.
And when he recognized it, Yiyang's heartbeat was much faster, he was sitting just now, and he was nervous at this time, and he stood up all of a sudden.
Because this Feng Wei is the Feng Wei who followed the queen and the concubine to the south, and rushed back in such a hurry at this time, could it be that something happened to the team that went south.
"The humble post greets Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and the concubine asks the humble post to hand over this letter to Her Royal Highness as soon as possible."
That Fengwei took out the letter from his arms, Yiyang hurriedly stepped forward to catch it, and opened it directly at this time, there was only a short note in the letter, and there was a sentence on the note.
Let the prince stay in the workshop and take care of himself.
The payment is naturally the name and surname of the horse.
"You go down to rest, come here, prepare the car, and go to the East Palace."
At this time, the letter had just arrived in Yiyang's hands, and Yiyang rushed to the East Palace as soon as possible without making any stops.
Seeing that the eldest princess was in such a hurry to go to the East Palace, several maids hurriedly prepared. Lin Qingxue also knew that something important must have happened, and she didn't dare to stop it, but she just followed His Highness, for fear that His Highness would have any accidents, and he would not be able to explain to the horse at that time.
At this time, Yiyang has reached the second stage of pregnancy, and it is not suitable for traveling far at all with a big belly.
The carriage and horses were prepared, and a thick brocade futon was prepared in the car, for fear of upside down the eldest princess, and Lin Qingxue on the side also instructed the coachman to go as slowly as possible and be steady.
When he arrived at the East Palace, Cherry explained to the guards of the East Palace that it was the eldest princess, so he naturally did not dare to stop it.
Even if the carriage of the Tang Workshop is not blocked by the two palaces, except for the fact that it cannot be done near the Hanyuan Hall at this time, no one dares to stop the carriage of the Tang Workshop, not to mention that the eldest princess is sitting in the car.
The carriage was marching in the East Palace, and there were already guards who urgently informed the prince.
When the prince heard that the imperial sister was coming to the East Palace, he took Zhang Yun and his guards out to greet him.
Yiyang got out of the carriage, and Li Hong hurriedly went over to help him.
"Sister Huang, why did you come here all of a sudden? If there's anything, just let the maid tell me. ”
Yiyang didn't say much, and directly gave the short note to Li Hong.
Li Hong naturally recognized the words on the short note, and it was a personal book from a horse.
Li Hong only glanced at that line of words, and then looked at Zhang Yun.
"Let people prepare, I'll go back to the Tang Workshop."
"Your Highness, are you going back to accompany the eldest princess?"
"In the future, His Highness will live in the Tang Workshop."
Zhang Yun's face was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare not listen to the prince's words.
The prince insisted on living in the Tang Workshop, and no one dared to stop him.
However, at this time, Li Hong had some different thoughts and looked at his imperial sister.
"Sister Huang, can I bring a maid to the Tang Workshop to serve?"
"Good!"
Li Hong naturally wanted to take the thoughtfulness of attacking people in the past two days, but at this time, he was different from those little weaver girls, and Li Hong was still a little inseparable from attacking people.
There, Zhang Yun asked people to prepare, and the attackers also received the will.
After being busy in the East Palace for a while, Li Hong got into the carriage of the eldest princess, and this way was naturally to take care of the imperial sister, at this time the imperial sister was holding her stomach, and everything was inconvenient.
The carriage entered the Tang Workshop, and the Feng Wei who delivered the letter also rested for a while, and then said goodbye to the eldest princess.
"When I saw the concubine, I told him that everything was fine in the palace, and the prince would stay in the Tang Workshop until the Niangniang car drove back to Chang'an."
"Yes, the humble position must be rewarded."
Seeing Feng Wei riding away, Yiyang breathed a long sigh of relief, Lin Qingxue hurriedly took care of His Royal Highness to rest, at this time, Yiyang had to be careful in everything he did, he had his blood and bones in his belly, so naturally everything was considered for the child.
She went to the East Palace for him, to rest well at this time and raise the fetus, but also for herself and his children.
After leaving Chang'an for eight days, the queen's car finally arrived in the eastern capital Luoyang.
Luoyang has been an important place in the Central Plains since ancient times, I don't know how many dynasties built their capitals here, the earliest Xia and Shang dynasties in Chinese history were built near Luoyang, and the old site of the well-known court song is near here.
In the Zhou Dynasty, the center of the country gradually moved westward, because the Zhou Dynasty began in Xiqi, Jiang Ziya fished in Weishui, and King Wen of Zhou dreamed of Xiong Mixian, opening the rise and fall of the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years.
The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were troubled times, and Qin unified the whole country, built the capital Xianyang, and arrived in the Han Dynasty, built the capital Chang'an, and the coast of Weishui at this time became the political center of China.
Since then, Chinese history has basically been staged in Chang'an and Luoyang, and the two places are each other's national capitals, from the two Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms to the Tang Dynasty at this time, the eastern capital and the western capital have always been the most important places to write Chinese history.
In the future, the four ancient capitals of China, at this time in the Tang Dynasty, in fact, it is impossible to have this kind of statement, the land of Youyan is still the border, there can only be said to be an important town, and it has nothing to do with ancient times.
And Jinling, sorry, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the south has not been the center of China, although the economy and population have gone up, but in terms of politics and military, the south cannot compete with the north at all.
Emperor Wen of Sui stepped on the south of the Yangtze River and demolished the health city, but it happened not long ago, when the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties did not have the magnificent atmosphere of later generations.
Therefore, strictly speaking, there are only two of the four ancient capitals at this time, and that is Chang'an Luoyang. And these two places happen to be called the ancient capitals of the Thirteen Dynasties by later generations, uh, yes, that is, both places are called this way, not bad at all.
At this time, Luoyang, the closest to the capital here is naturally the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty moved the capital from Chang'an to Luoyang, built the Grand Canal, so that the Luoyang waterway can directly lead to the south of the Yangtze River and the land of Youyan, it can be said that Luoyang's status at this time is not much more than Chang'an.
Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, but Luoyang is an important place for north-south transportation, and there are also official roads connecting with Chang'an, and the Yellow River and Weishui can also be connected as waterways.
The imperial city of the former dynasty is still here, and it is also well preserved at this time, and at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Luoyang was also the eastern capital, and there was the largest oriental palace in the Tang Dynasty at this time, and there were palace maids and eunuchs stationed all year round.
Because of the importance of Luoyang, in the original history, Wu Meiniang's Great Zhou could build the capital of Luoyang and call it the capital of God. Of course, the possibility of Wu Meiniang moving the capital in this life is extremely small.
Because the capital was moved in the original history, in fact, it was mostly because Wu Meiniang drunk Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, and Concubine Xiao Shufei swore a poisonous oath when she died, Wu Meiniang lived in Chang'an, and always felt that she was disturbed by Concubine Xiao's ghost, so she finally went to Luoyang.
