Chapter 22 The Appearance of the Capital
Yu row Kyushu, Heluo belongs to the land of ancient Yuzhou, Luoyang is the place where the Xia Dynasty was founded, after Shang Tang built the capital Xihao, Xihao is the name of Luoyang at that time, and then after the West Zhou Dynasty Yin, in order to better control the eastern region began to build the capital of the country in this camp into Zhou, the Duke of Zhou built the royal city and the city of Cheng Zhou on the north bank of Luoshui, and the history is called "the first move to the house in Cheng Zhou".
In the first year of King Xiang of Qin Zhuang, Qin placed Sanchuan County in Luoyang, and the county governance was Chengzhou, and then Gaozu built the capital here, which has been 390 years so far.
History has given this city extraordinary significance, but it has also given it countless disasters, every time the dynasty changes, Luoyang's war has never stopped, but it has been reborn in countless wars, this is a great city.
After Chen Mo said goodbye to Cao Cao, he did not rush to find the mansion left by Zang Hong, but just walked on the streets of this city with Da Lang, Juan'er and the guards, feeling the breath of this ancient city, the pedestrians on the street seemed to be no different from Dangli, but there was something that the people of Dangli did not have in it, perhaps the pride and self-confidence of the people of the capital, or the kind of unyielding spirit that was as unyielding as this city.
It's a pity......
Chen Mo has a hunch that there will be great changes in this world, but how to change, it is really difficult to see clearly in the game, but I don't know if this great and tragic city can survive this war in the midst of the great changes?
"Childe, it's getting dark, the head of the family has instructed that I came to Luoyang to ask Childe to visit a few elders, and I still need to make some preparations." Although Juan'er didn't want to disturb her son's interest, seeing that the sky was about to get dark, Chen Mo was still walking on the street unhurriedly, and couldn't help but remind.
"You're too anxious." Chen Mo retracted his thoughts, turned his head to look at Juan'er, reached out and rubbed her head, messing up her hair bun before stopping: "Let's go." ”
Juan'er hugged her head and pouted dissatisfiedly in a direction that Chen Mo couldn't see.
The teacher's house in Luoyang is not on the main street, Chongwen Street, and it is also the residence of the scholars, but it is biased towards the periphery and has a Yimen, but compared to what I saw all the way, not to mention the cold, it is really not very good.
Chen Mo doesn't pay much attention to food and housing, the courtyard in front of him is not big, and the courtyard is taken care of by the Zang family's servants in Luoyang, and it is not too crowded for more than ten of them to live in.
"Young son, the head of the family has sent someone to send a letter, and in the future, this mansion will be the residence of the young son in Luoyang, if there is any need, the young son can order it to be done in the future." The steward, who was over fifty years old, diligently connected Chen Mo to the main hall and helped Chen Mo introduce the things in the house.
"Ah Weng will tell me what to pay attention to in Luoyang?" Chen Mo knelt on the main seat and looked at Zang Hong's books, this was the residence of Zang Hong when he was a man in Luoyang, and there were many books left by Zang Hong.
"In fact, there is no big deal, this Luoyang City is not better than other places, there are not too many troubles, the prince only needs to pay attention, this Luoyang North Palace and South Palace are separated by a main street, which is the royal road, and many times it is not allowed to pass, in addition, in Luoyang City, there are many nobles, try to avoid conflicts." The old man bowed.
"This is natural." Chen Mo smiled when he heard this, he still understands the rules, just like in Dangli, outsiders come to gain a foothold, and they need to figure out the wealthy gentlemen in Dangli first, so as not to cause trouble, Luoyang wants to come to the same place, but there are more such people.
"In addition, my Zang family has a few shops in Luoyang for a living, and the head of the family instructed that if the son needs it, these shops can be handed over to the son." The steward bowed.
"It doesn't have to be!" Chen Mo shook his head, to have a place to settle down is already a great favor from the teacher, and it is a bit unreasonable to take the teacher's property here.
"These soldiers have been traveling with me all the way, and I am tired of asking Ah Weng to help them prepare some food and drink, as well as a place to live, so that they can have a good rest." Chen Mo pointed to the soldiers who followed him all the way and smiled.
"I've prepared food and wine, is Childe dining now?" The steward smiled.
"There's no hurry, take me to see the teacher's study." Chen Mo shook his head, he wasn't too hungry now, he wanted to see where the teacher had studied back then.
"Whoa!" The steward agreed, arranged for someone to take those guards to eat and rest, and he took Chen Mo and the three of them to the direction of the study.
"Because the owner of the family took away a lot of bamboo notes, now there are not many left, and most of the bamboo notes placed here are not engraved." The old housekeeper took Chen Mo to the bookshelf, pointed to the top row of bamboo notes and said, "Now there are words, only this row, and someone will take care of them every day." ”
Analects, Hanshu, Historical Records...... Chen Mo looked along the row, most of them were books he had read, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart.
"I'm going to visit Lu Gong tomorrow, and I'm going to prepare a prayer for me." Chen Mo thought of something and said to the steward.
"I'll go here to prepare, but I'll just send it up, but I may not be able to see Lu Gong tomorrow." The steward agreed, hesitated, and still spoke.
"Why is that?" Chen Mo wondered.
"As a scholar, Duke Lu has official business every day, and in addition, in this land of Luoyang, many people want to visit Duke Lu, and if they are sent tomorrow, it will take at least four or five days to see Duke Lu." The old steward said helplessly.
"How long will that take?" Juan'er on the side couldn't help but ask.
"The longest ......" the old steward sighed and said, "I have heard that some people have asked to see each other for several months but have not been able to see each other, and they have spent all their savings, so they can only leave Luoyang gloomily. ”
Not everyone is like Chen Mo, who can have a place to stay in Luoyang, most of the taxis who come to Luoyang can only live in a post house, and it is not cheap to live in a post house in Luoyang for a day, even if it is a wealthy gentry from all over the world, they may not be able to afford it.
Juan'er was shocked when she heard this: "I heard the head of the family say that Lu Gong is a famous man in the world, and now it seems that he is also ......."
"There are some things that you can't talk nonsense!" Chen Mo knocked on Juan'er's head, shook his head and sighed: "Also, Lu Gong is a great Confucian in the world, there must be a lot of people who want to see it, it seems that it is difficult to see it in a hurry, and send the worship post, whether you can see it or not depends on the will of God, it just so happens that I have to prepare for the matter of Tong Zilang in the next few days, so I am not in a hurry." ”
"Let people prepare the prayer post now." The old steward bowed.
"Don't you need to prepare for prayer?" Chen Mo wondered.
"Gongzi doesn't know, Duke Lu doesn't accept worship." The old steward smiled.
"I see, then I will only send a prayer post, and there are also a few old friends who need to visit, and I will deal with it together, Mo is not very familiar with Luoyang." Chen Mo smiled.
"Don't worry, the old servant will go and prepare dinner for the son, and the son will rest first."
"There is labor!"
