Yanjing City, the capital of the Northern Yan Dynasty, was actually only the capital of Yanzhou Road - Jizhou City, as early as the time of the Great Yan Dynasty in the previous dynasty. After the disintegration of Dayan, Zhou Changji, a Yanzhou person who received the 'inheritance' in its entirety, decided to move the capital to Jizhou City, set up a new 'Northern Yan Dynasty' on Yanzhou Road, and changed the yuan to 'Jianchu', announcing to the world.

However, in the first seventeen years of its establishment, Zhou Changji had not had time to leave the royal bloodline, so he died suddenly, and was nicknamed Emperor Wuji of Northern Yan; Two years after the death of Emperor Wu, Zhou Youxiao, the son of the first emperor who had just turned the year of the weak crown, took out the edict of the first emperor from the Taimiao, and naturally inherited the emperor's throne, and changed the yuan to 'Jianxing'.

So in fact, Zhou Youxiao, the enthroned king of the Northern Yan Dynasty, is not the bloodline of the Youyan Zhou family, he was originally just the widow of Emperor Wu's best friend. In that chaotic year, his biological father personally led a small group of rangers to rescue Zhou Changji, who was besieged by the enemy regiment, and ran for more than 100 miles in the starry night, living in the siege of 3,000 enemy elites, and rescued Zhou Changji, who was seriously wounded; Moreover, he personally stayed in place to fight the enemy, and successfully dragged most of the follow-up pursuers...... It is said that when the war ended, Zhou Changji, who personally went to investigate the battlefield, pulled out nearly 100 feathered arrows of different shades from this brother who died to save himself.

After the Northern Yan army swept through the Central Plains, he also returned to the new capital of Jizhou City with his brother's ashes. However, not long after moving the capital, his 'widowed sister-in-law' also gave birth to a baby boy; after Zhou Youxiao heard the news, he was overjoyed and held a three-day banquet to congratulate the people! and also announced in public that the brother's widow was given the surname of Youxiao......

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, Zhou Youxiao's mother only milked him for one year, and secretly crashed into his man's tombstone on a dark and windy night......

There is such a thing, in fact, according to reason, the entire 'national surname palace' should not be left with chickens and dogs! But after Zhou Changji heard this, he only sighed:

He knows better than anyone that his sister-in-law has a very strong personality, and he is afraid that the moment he sees his husband's ashes, he already has the idea of martyrdom; The reason why I know that I only put it into action today is because I can't rest assured that my brother's blood and blood are ......

If a person makes up his mind to seek death, it is impossible to see how many people are arranged.

After that, Zhou Changji brought Zhou Youxiao into the Zijin Palace, and had the right to raise him carefully as his own son; And when he was a hundred years later, he also passed on his dragon chair to the son of this friend, and achieved a good story for each other.

Therefore, in a strict sense, including today's Tianyou Emperor Zhou Yuanqing and the fourth prince Zhou Chang'an, they are all in it, and none of them are Zhou Changji's biological bloodline......

In the twenty-seventh year of Jianxing, that is, two years before the death of Zhou Youxiao, the second emperor of Youbei, due to the commercial prosperity of the city reached an unprecedented height, the streets of the city, which were originally quite spacious, are now crowded; Therefore, Zhou Youxiao found the national teacher of Northern Yan at that time, Nanyang Zhenren, and entrusted him with full authority to deal with the expansion and renovation of Yanjing City.

If you look at this brand-new Yanjing City from the perspective of 'metaphysics', there can actually be another way of saying it......

According to rumors, the evil dragon that Mulian Zhenren personally suppressed under the city of Jizhou was the 'Sea Dragon King' of Kuhai Youzhou. However, Youzhou Road is located in the inland area of Huayu mainland; Not to mention the sea, even the water source that can be used by the people every day is long and stretched; And this indigenous 'Sea Dragon King' who was suppressed under the city is actually a 'Bitter Sea Dragon King'

The Sea of Bitterness, also known as the 'desert'.

Therefore, even if Yanjing City needs to be expanded twice, it must not destroy the feng shui array of the 'artificial dragon vein'! Obviously, this kind of 'religious architecture' is a technical work, and none of the skilled craftsmen dares to stand out.

And this matter finally fell on the head of Nanyang Zhenren, that is, the earth spirit vein leader who was so angry by Lu Xiangyin that he jumped off the cliff. He returned to Xuanyue Mountain, and after some careful deduction, he finally drew a blueprint for the construction of the city; When he sent this drawing to the capital, he immediately closed the dead gate and no longer cared about the affairs of the world......

After getting this drawing, Zhou Youxiao, the emperor of Jianxing, although he was a little disapproving, still adhered to the cautious caution of 'rather believing what he has than not believing it', and still instructed those craftsmen to expand and renovate this Yanjing city according to the drawing. Anyway, the reason why he needed to expand Fengjing City was to facilitate the exchange of merchants and prosper the economy of Beiyan; As for whether there are any gods and dragon veins, for Emperor Jianxing himself, it doesn't matter at all.

I don't know if it's because Nanyang Zhenren, the 'chief designer' of Yanjing City, has heard too many stories about the gods, so he gave himself an extremely loud name for the 'urban expansion map' he designed - Eight-armed Nezha City!

A master is a master, and this idea of people is indeed reasonable: even the third prince of the dragon king has been cramped and skinned; And a small desert dragon king can still turn the sky under the hands of the 'Lotus Prince'?

The city gate in the south direction of Yanjing City represents the head of the third prince of Nezha; And the eight gates in the east and west directions are his eight arms; That Zijin Palace is Nezha's internal organs; And the Chengtian Gate of the Purple Palace Urn City is Nezha's mouth!

In fact, at the beginning, this statement still carried a bit of truth and falsity; So this legend to this day, after many times of 'reprocessing', even what ears, noses, eyes, ribs and other 'fragments', have been far-fetched by those good deeds people 'find' out, and even a number of things that have been added in recent years, have been incorporated into this romantic mythological story...... 'believe in it, do not believe in it', that is, today's Beiyan people's view of this eight-armed Nezha city.

However, there are still many storytellers in Fengjing City, who rely on telling this story to earn the silver of foreign merchants; It can be seen that these ghosts and gods are very marketable no matter where they are!

As for whether this eight-armed Nezha City really suppressed a 'Desert Dragon King' under this eight-armed Nezha City, Shen Gui, who was listening to the story, actually didn't care, but the tea in this Yanjing teahouse was so unpalatable that he couldn't swallow it!

Shen Gui looked up and looked at the two aunts and grandmothers who had pretended to be men and were frowning, and finally laughed:

"If you don't want to drink it, don't drink it, after all, there is a 'Desert Dragon King' under the city, and the well water is bitter, which is inevitable......"

Before the second daughter could say anything, the young man who ran the hall next to him was not happy at first:

"I said this master! It is said that the three of you guests are talking, and I shouldn't be a guy who runs the hall! But as soon as you look at the appearance of the three of you, you will know that it is a merchant from Waifu, and I am afraid that I don't know much about the doorway of our Yanjing City! It's not that the shop doesn't have good water, it's not that there is no good tea! But the little one looks at the three of them dressed up...... Hehe, if it's not good, that's what it means! ”

Shen Guiyi heard his words as a bastard with a gun and a stick, and just wanted to take out some silver to slap him in the face; Unexpectedly, the young man didn't even look at him again, but walked to the front of the fence, pointed to his table, and continued to gossip to the gentleman in charge of the accounts:

"Mr. Lin, have you seen the three masters on the inner table? Don't look at the dress is not very good, but this mouth is quite tricky! I must be used to being in the countryside, so I plan to come to our Yanjing City to make a name for myself......"

Although the teahouse was noisy and lively, the young man's voice was not deliberately lowered at all; And under his deliberate shouting, he also attracted many regular customers, and cast strange glances in Shen Gui's direction......

After hearing this, Mr. Lin, who was in charge of the accounts, didn't even raise his eyelids, and continued to fiddle with the calculation chips in his hand, and taught the young man a lesson in his mouth:

"Just look at their dress, they know that they are the first to enter our Yanjing City, and they don't know our rules here, why do they provoke your nonsense? You still haven't done so much work, where did you get that idle time? If you dare to chew the guest's tongue again, be careful that I will tear your stinky mouth! ”

In fact, this bookkeeper said good things, and reprimanded his own buddy in person, but also to give the guests a step down in front of everyone, and he is a person who does business! But Shen Gui, who usually has a good temper, feels a little piercing no matter how he listens to this now:

"I said this gentleman, you are training the apprentice in person, in order to give our 'brother' a full face, I thank you in advance! However, I just listened to the meaning of your words, but we broke your rules? According to your rules, even if the guests don't think the water tastes good, they can't talk? Do you have to pinch your nose and pour this pot of bitter water into your intestines? If that's the case, then our brothers have really opened their eyes this time! ”

If it was the guy who bullied just now; Now it's Shen Gui who has nothing to do!

And the bookkeeper, who was originally a well-intentioned bookkeeper, also stopped what he was doing with surprise on his face, and carefully looked at the three 'Waifu Uncles'...... After looking at it with a full eye, he also understood why the young man, who was originally quite clever and sensible, looked down on people......

"I said, this young master, look at your leather jacket, the cotton wool is about to leak...... If our little guy really gives you a pot of good tea and water, your brother's life's work will be in vain! Don't blame us for looking down on people, because in our Yanjing, it's not easy to drink a bowl of sweet water; So this price is naturally rolling up...... So, he's also thinking about the three of you......"

After Shen Gui listened, he stood up with a 'Teng' sound, stretched out his hand and took out an ingot, slapped it heavily on the table, and then looked at the bookkeeper viciously with a provocative gaze and asked:

"Is it enough?"

"Enough! Come, change the pot of leaves for the three of you...... In addition, I have to tell you, there is a lot of money for this tea money, and there is still a surplus...... But if you want to make it with sweet water, you still need me three and a half pieces of silver! ”
