Chang'an, the world's first heroic city!

It was the first city in the world with a population of more than one million, and it was also the largest city in the world in this era. The circumference of the entire Chang'an City is nearly 36 kilometers, and the total area is 87 kilometers - if you make a simple comparison, it is the sum of the area of the East and West Towns of Beijing in the future!

You know, those are the two districts of the future Jingshi, where there are more than 2 million permanent residents.

In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an had a permanent population of 1.85 million and a floating population of 500,000, far exceeding any other city of the same era.

In a word, this is the center of the Tang Dynasty and the center of the entire Eastern civilization!

So even if he saw a lot of larger cities in his previous life, and even lived in a super city with a population of more than 20 million for more than ten years, when Li Yuanjia returned to this majestic city ten miles away, standing there and seeing the city wall that stretched for nearly ten kilometers from a distance, he still couldn't help but be amazed - in the future world, you can't see a city wall of this scale, and the area inside the city wall of Xi'an in the future is only one-tenth of what it is now.

Perhaps only the majesty of the Great Wall can be compared with it.

It's just that Li Yuanjia has some regrets that because of the limitations of national strength, financial resources and technology, the Tang Dynasty has no strength to wrap bricks on the city wall, that is, important palaces have this treatment. So at a glance, the walls of Chang'an are made of gray rammed earth, which looks a little low compared to the majestic city walls in TV series or movies......

"The king, the king?"

"Huh?"

"King, the man who greeted the king is here!"

reminded Li Yuanjia in a whisper, and Han Lucheng, who had come to his side just now, immediately retreated again.

This time, because the emperor's order came in a hurry, even after attending the funeral of the emperor, I am afraid that Li Yuanjia will not be able to rush back to Luzhou in a short time, so he must leave Han Shan to preside over the overall situation, such as the miscellaneous trivial matters in the house, and then the "second phase of the sewer project" that will start soon. So on this trip to Chang'an, it was Han Shan's next generation, Han Lucheng, who was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, who was waiting for Li Yuanjia by his side, and it was time to be able to stand in the way.

Li Yuanjia, who came back to his senses, looked forward, and sure enough, a team of people was coming in a hurry.

"Hoo ......"

With a long exhalation, Li Yuanjia waved his hand and said, "Let's go, catch up, let's go into the city!" ”

……

In the city of Chang'an, the closest to the imperial city, the palace of the Duke of Wei.

"Xianggong, the king has already entered the city."

After entering Fang Xuanling's study, Fang Cheng said respectfully: "Xianggong, the king has entered the city. ”

"Oh?"

The movement of his hand paused slightly, Wei Guogong looked up at his old servant, and nodded after a moment of silence: "Okay, I know...... Go, call Da Lang. ”

Without the old servant's explanation, Fang Xuanling knew who this king was.

After all, the emperor is about to be buried, and many princes are allowed to return to Chang'an for funeral, but there is only one person who has something to do with the Fang family and can make Fang Cheng come over to say a special word - Li Yuanjia, the king of Yu.

"Yes, Xianggong."

Not long after the old servant went out, Fang Yizhi, the eldest son of the Fang family, walked in, respectfully saluted and asked, "Father, are you looking for me?" ”

Nodding and stopping the pen in his hand, Fang Xuanling said indifferently: "King Yu has already entered the city, you can send a post to meet you in the past two days...... There's no need to say anything, just some gossip. ”

The relationship between the two families is extraordinary, and since they know that the king has entered the city, they should send someone to visit him. It's just that Fang Xuanling is tall and heavy, and it is a little inappropriate to go over in person, and when it comes to identity and status, Li Yuanjia is respected, and it is not appropriate to let people come to visit, so it is best to go to Fang Xuanling, the eldest son of the house, and say some gossip.

"Yes, father."

While nodding his head quickly, Fang Yizhi's face couldn't help but show a hint of wanting to say something.

Fang Xuanzhi didn't dare to ask directly, but Fang Xuanling saw his doubts, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" What else? ”

"Father, I just don't quite understand."

After biting his lip, Fang Yi was puzzled: "The Emperor Taishang died in May, why don't you let the kings return to Chang'an as soon as possible, but have to wait until this time?" Wouldn't it be hasty to have five days left for the burial? ”

"Hehe......"

After listening to his son's question, Fang Xuanling suddenly laughed.

“……”

While being confused by Daddy's laughter, Fang Zhizhi could only wait patiently for Fang Xuanling's answer. In fact, not only did the kings not return to Chang'an as soon as possible, but not every prince could come back, and including Li Yuanjia, there were only three or five people who could take this opportunity to come back.

This kid is stupid when he reads!

Looking at his honest eldest son, Fang Xuanling's eyes flashed with a look of disappointment, but he still smiled on his face: "When the emperor dies, the most taboo thing is for the kings to return to Beijing, which is a very dangerous thing!" It's the same with the Emperor Taishang now...... Well, no need to say more at this time, don't ask again, go ahead. ”

There are some things that Fang Xuanling doesn't want to say so thoroughly, and whether he can understand it depends on his son's brain.

"Yes, the child is gone."

With a faint realization on his face, Fang Yu bowed straight and exited his father's study.

However, not far after he came out, Fang Zhizhi, who was a little pedantic, hurriedly saluted again: "The child has seen his mother!" Mother came to find my father? ”

"Well, what's your father's business with you?"

Seeing the eldest son, Lu asked casually, but Fang Zhizhi naturally replied truthfully: "Yes, mother, King Yu has just arrived in Chang'an, and my father asked me to visit the house in the next two days." ”

"King Yu? Li Yuanjia has returned to Chang'an?! ”

"Uh...... Be. ”

Hearing his mother call King Yu's name with a look of surprise, Fang Yizhi's eyelids jumped several times, and he finally didn't dare to "educate" his mother, so he could only twitch his cheeks and act as if he hadn't heard clearly.

"Alright, you can go quickly!"

waved his hand and sent his eldest son away, and after Lu's eyes rolled a few times, he simply didn't go to find Fang Xuanling, but walked directly to his eldest daughter's boudoir.

"Bong-ju, bong-ju!"

As soon as he entered the door, Lu Shi called his daughter's name in a hurry: "Where is it?" Hurry up and get out...... Ouch my daughter, do you know who arrived in Chang'an just now? ”

"Daughter Fengzhu, I've seen my mother!"

The daughter of the housekeeper did not rush to ask, but first saluted her mother, and then blinked her eyes and smiled: "I have never taken half a step out of the door of the house except to say hello to my father and mother today, how can I know who has arrived in Chang'an?" ”

Looking at his daughter's well-behaved appearance, Lu suddenly felt distressed.

The eldest daughter Fang Fengzhu is not yet fifteen years old, but she is already slim and elegant, although a small face is not enough to say that the country is overwhelmed, but it is definitely the best among the nobles in Chang'an. What makes the Lu family even more proud is that in addition to being born beautifully, her daughter is also gentle, literate and polite, and even praised her husband when she saw it......

As a result, such a little girl who didn't hurt enough for the Lu family to hurt enough, was promised a few years ago to Li Yuanjia, the king of the princess, who had never seen her husband a few times, and the biggest possibility in the future was to stay in that ghost place in Luzhou all year round. Fortunately, the Emperor Li Yuan had just died, and the king had to keep filial piety......

"Phew, don't you dare to think about it anymore!"

With a spirit all over his body, Lu Shi quickly shook his head slightly, looked at his daughter and smiled: "Who else can it be?" Isn't it the one who sent iron pots and coal stoves to our family, and also sent hundreds of thirteen incense sticks! I just heard your eldest brother say that King Yu has entered Chang'an City! ”

"Huh? The King? ”

After hearing this name, he suddenly let out a low voice, and Fang Fengzhu's pretty face instantly turned red......
