The fairy sounds in the Xiaoyao Palace are continuous, and the sky above Jinling City seems to be auspicious!

Few people may pay attention to this kind of detail, but that doesn't mean that no one is paying attention. Today's Jinling City is the Jiangning Mansion of later generations, including the two large counties of Jiangning and Shangyuan, the capital of the Tang Kingdom.

It leans on Yuhuatai in the south, Jilong Mountain in the back, Zhongshan in the east, and Stone Town in the west. Today's capital city is in the late Liang Emperor Zhu Youqianhua four years (914) to start construction, originally the state assassin Xu Zhihe, sent his subordinate Chen Yanqian to rebuild Jinling City, Zhenming three years (917) to build this as the capital city!

At that time, Xu Zhihe planned to support Yang Wu Gaozu Yang Longyan, and it was built in the sixth year of Jinling to Zhenming (920), but it was re-expanded three years later. At that time, no one knew the significance of Xu Zhihe's expansion, but of course it became clear then! Because of this Xu Zhihe, it is the later Emperor Li of the Tang Dynasty.

Since the death of Yang Xingmi in the second year of Tianyou (905), the power of the Yang family has been handed down to the powerful minister Xu Wen and the Xu family. As Xu Wen's adopted son, Xu Zhihe, from Guangling County to Jinling Mansion, in Xu Wen's control of Yang Wu Daquanfan for more than 20 years, after Xu Wen's death in (927), as the prime minister and the king of Qi, he truly grasped the real power of Yang Wu.

It seems that the routines of centralization in the world are strikingly similar, until three years after Yang Wu Tianzuo (937), Li, whose real name is Xu Zhihe, accepted Yang Wu Chan's concession, changed Jinling Mansion to Jiangning Mansion, took Jinling Mansion as the palace, and Jinling City as the capital, and established the Tang State, the largest force in the south.

Of course, the capital of the Tang Kingdom has continued to move down since then, and it is obviously much larger than Jiankang City, which was the capital back then. The continuous development of the previous emperors of the Six Dynasties led to a prosperous business and a pool of talents, and it became the political, cultural and economic center of the southern Central Plains. Jinling City now has only four gates, and ordinary people enter the city through the south gate.

Because of the imperial palace of the Tang Kingdom, the Xuanwu Gate in the north is the nearest one, and the Xuanwu Divine Beast Town Gate is located after the city gate.

The west side of the Han West Gate is also called the Great West Gate, which is the place where the lock throat of the Jinling City City is locked, and it is tall and majestic and the weather is thousands.

And Jubaomen is the south gate of Jinling, the front and back are the Qinhuai River inside and outside, the south is connected to the Changgan Bridge, the north is connected to the Zhenhuai Bridge, it is really the traffic lock throat of Jinling City, and it is the central axis of the royal street that leads directly to the palace.

The east gate of the famous Jinling City is directly to the Dazhong Bridge.

This huge imperial city was the largest imperial capital in the south in this era.

Li, with gray temples, was sitting in a side hall of the palace, and Gao Sishi, a close attendant, was standing beside him. The great changes in the Tang Kingdom over the years have made it almost impossible for Li to bear and face. His eyes looked at the scene outside the temple gate in a daze, as if he had returned to the past.

Outside, the sky was dizzy, looking at the quiet hall, which was also here that year, and he had just accepted the succession ceremony. Li didn't show too much excitement, others may think that he has been on the throne for a long time, and Long Yan will inevitably accumulate prestige, but Li knows that he is now and really suffering.

"Sishi, you say, they all went?" It seems a little inexplicable, but Li thinks in his heart that he has also worked hard and wants to unify the rivers and mountains of the Central Plains, but is it still possible now?

"Well, it's true, in the morning, accompanied by the guards, that Shuren went to the front of Lord Peng's mansion early, and then went to the Xiaoyao Palace together!" Gao Sishi looked very respectful, knowing that there were some things that could not be said, because although Li was a friendly brother, and people often said that father and son were related to each other, but at present, he did not dare to say anything even if he knew about the current situation of the royal family.

The world thinks that Li wants to pass on the position to his son, so he finds an excuse to kill his imperial brother, even if others speculate so, now Li is still the emperor, so what in the face of these rumors! As long as Li is still on the throne, it doesn't matter who is the prince, Gao Sishi understands this better than anyone else!

The Tang Kingdom has always been a prosperous place, this great river and mountain is in the hands of Li, although it has been invaded and interfered with by the Central Plains one after another, but how can Li give up and be happy from time to time! If you want to obey your own wishes at all times, only the highest right can do it, and Gao Sishi naturally has a deep understanding of this, so he responds with caution!

Li was still looking forward to his own thoughts, and Gao Sishi saw that he was a little dazed, so he couldn't help but call lightly twice. Then Li seemed to come back to his senses, and looked at Gao Sishi with some doubts and tiredness.

Gao Sishi has served Li for nearly thirty years, just looking at his demeanor, he naturally understood what Li meant, and said in a low voice: "Hui, lord of the country, it is said that the phoenix fairy of Xiaoyao Palace has cultivated the Dao Fa Dacheng, and today he will open an altar to preach in Xiaoyao Palace!" ”

"Isn't it! Are they really so bold? In order to welcome the return of Lingnan, the Duke of Anding County, Congjia, and the officials above the fifth rank of Jinling City, as well as their families, were summoned to the palace to celebrate. It can be said that including officials in Beijing, foreign envoys, and several major chaebols in Jiangnan, Li asked the Ministry of Rites to make an invitation.

"That Shu and Master Peng did go! There are more than two people with three or more grades, five people from the fourth grade, and more than ten people with more than five grades in this sermon! The lord of the country had previously stated that he would not interfere, so he did not name him! Gao Sishi was a little cautious, and naturally understood that Li had been suspicious in recent years, so he carefully reminded him between his words!

"I really said it beforehand! Moreover, Xiaoyao Palace is the place where Mr. Geng used to cultivate, and it is reasonable for these people to go to listen to the Tao! After making sure that he had heard correctly, Li's gaze couldn't help but look to a position, as if with a little thought.

Gao Sishi's report just now made Li Cai remember, and hurriedly said: "This matter is widely implicated, but now there seem to be some rumors in the capital, you quickly arrange it, but you have to see if there are disobedient places in the capital in addition to this Daming Palace!" ”

For many people, they may feel that Li's words are a little inexplicable, but Li naturally has no need to explain to others: "During this period of time, did the Duke of Anding County have any contact with Zhong Molang of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

"According to the report, Anding County worships the Buddha every day, and the Muping Arhat who went a few days ago has not yet returned home!" The Anding County Duke that Li Kou was talking about was his other son Li Congjia. Although the former crown prince was deposed, Li never re-established. Many people don't know what Lee's idea is. So hearing Li's words, Gao Sishi didn't dare to hide anything!

"If Anding County Gong really grasped the dynamics of Lingnan, and did not expect that after the change of owner in Lingnan, it has developed relatively well, and the strategy of Lingnan will definitely change after that, and this matter can be reported in time by Anding County Prince!" Because after Li Congjia returned to Jinling City, he gathered a group of literati and writers to record all the records of what he saw and heard along the way. This was not only the greatest help to Li, but also the most effective help to the Tang Kingdom in the future.
