At the beginning of Emperor Taisho Gaozu's business, he raised troops in the south,

After pacifying the world, the capital was established, which is now the capital.

The capital is located in the lower reaches of the river, and along the river is the richest Jiangnan region in the world.

The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is pleasant, the rainfall is abundant, the rice is planted twice a year, the grain can not only supply the local, but also supply the two million people in the capital, and there are rich to transport to various places, coupled with the dense water network, the fishery is developed, it is called the land of fish and rice.

In addition, the local people are accustomed to raising silkworms, every household is planting mulberry and silk, brocade embroidery is popular in the countryside, the silk industry is prevalent, and there are large and small official kilns and private kilns all over the country to fire porcelain, and various handicrafts are developed.

The south of the plain is mostly mountainous and hilly, and the mountain people plant tea trees, and the output of various kinds of tea is huge, and then it is transported to the Jiangnan region and the capital through the water network, and then resold to all parts of the world by the capital.

In short, various conditions have made Gangnam a wealth, commercial, political, and cultural center of Taisho.

All kinds of convenient conditions have attracted high-ranking officials and dignitaries, literati and scholars, talented and beautiful people have rushed to the capital from all over the country, which has promoted the cultural development of the capital, and overseas merchants have also come by boat to trade goods, adding an exotic atmosphere to the capital.

In addition to the geographical superiority of the capital, the terrain is also very dangerous.

It is bordered by the river in the west, the mirror lake in the north, the Shuanglong Mountain in the east, and the green onion river passing through the city and flowing into the river in the south.

The present Taisho capital, the east and the south are each forty miles long, all are surrounded by the city wall, the rammed earth in the city wall is covered with bricks, the tall and straight repair, there are five zhang. The property market in the city is lined up, the streets are vertical and horizontal, the government and the temples are intertwined with each other, dancing and thanking the towers, competing for beauty.

The central axis of the city is north of the Dazheng Palace City, also known as Taicheng, it is the emperor's dormitory, it is long from east to west, narrow from north to south, and it is located in the north side of the capital in a rectangle.

The city walls of Taicheng are all made of granite, five zhang high, painted vermilion, and the top is built with glaze,

Taicheng is due south for the arch gate, is the outer city is due south of the Wenchang gate, the heavenly street between the two gates is nine zhang wide, is the central axis of the capital.

Lan Ziyi, Zhou Buhui and the Tao brothers stopped in Jiangbei for a night,

The next day, take a boat across the river, and you can see the capital covered by clouds and mountains in the distance on the river, like a dream, like a fairyland in the sky.

In order to watch the beautiful scenery of Tianjie, a group of people made a special detour to enter the city by Wenchang Gate.

Walking on the heavenly street, the willow locust trees on both sides of the street are towering into the clouds, the spring breeze blows, the green leaves are spreading, and the scenery is pleasant.

Zhou Buhui said:

"Brother Ziyi, do you know? This heavenly street is nine zhang, the middle three zhang is specially reserved for the emperor and the three dukes and the six books, and the three zhang on both sides are reserved for the people, don't believe you look at the material. ”

Lan Ziyi looked down, and sure enough, the three zhang on both sides were paved with bluestone slabs, and the middle three zhang was paved with white marble.

At this time, Zhou Buhui said:

"Brother Ziyi, don't leave it at that, this has already arrived at the yamen of the Ministry of Officials, it's time to get down to business."

Lan Ziyi clenched his fists and said:

"Alright then, Brother Buhui. I also have to rush to King De's Mansion as soon as possible, and we will contact each other after Brother Buhui has made arrangements, and then we will have a good time. ”

Zhou Buhui said:

"Okay, that's a deal."

After speaking, he dismounted, turned around and walked towards the yamen of the official department.

Lan Ziyi gave Zhou Buhui a paragraph, and then walked through the city with the Tao brothers for a while, and it was almost noon when the four of them came to the Dewang Mansion on the west side of Taicheng.

Lan Ziyi and the Tao brothers came to the front of King De's mansion and reported their names to the concierge, and the concierge servant reported to the mansion,

Lan Ziyi and the Tao brothers waited at the door for a long time, chatted for a while about what they had seen and heard when they first entered the capital, their admiration for the prosperity of the capital, and the difference between the Jiangnan girl and the Saibei girl, the servant came out of the house and told Lan Ziyi:

"Lord Weihou, several military masters, King De is very happy to hear that Weihou has arrived, and orders you to go to the governor's hall as soon as possible, and King De is going to set up a banquet to entertain your entourage."

After hearing this, Lan Ziyi said:

"Then there is a recommendation from Lao Cangtou."

The servant nodded, and after a few people came out of the porter to take Lan Ziyi's horse luggage, the servant who passed the message led Lan Ziyi and them to the depths of the palace.

Along the way, Lan Ziyi passed by the secluded path flowers, rockery and shallow lake, saw the pavilions and pavilions of the Dewang Mansion, the corridor and the corridor turned thousands of times, the architecture of the entire Dewang Mansion was beautiful, almost unable to see the end, I couldn't help but feel in my heart that this King De was really favored by the emperor, and the house given was simply a fairyland on earth.

The servant led Lan Ziyi and them to a lakeside lobby and said:

"Lord Weihou, this is the Governor's Hall, please wait a while, King De will be there later."

Lan Ziyi nodded, and the servant left,

Lan Ziyi entered the lobby and saw that the tables inside had been set up, and the servants were busy arranging the goods, so he walked out of the governor's hall and came to the lakeside to watch the goldfish in the lake with the spring breeze.

On the side, the peach chased the rabbit and said:

"This King De's faction is really not small, let us rush over, but I am gone."

Tao Zhuhu said:

"After all, the family is the prince, and the young master is just a waiter, so there is nothing to say."

Tao Zhulu said:

"Could it be to give Ma Wei? Want to take the opportunity to calm the young master? “

At this time, a voice came from behind the house:

"Don't think too much about it, King De just woke up from a hangover last night and can't get out of bed yet."

Lan Ziyi followed the prestige, and saw a person walking from the afternoon,

This person is tall and similar to Lan Ziyi,

High cheeks and straight nose, thick eyebrows, full of energy,

The arms are long and the hands are thick, the muscles are strong, and there is a kind of robustness that is characteristic of soldiers.

Seeing this, Lan Ziyi clasped his fists and asked:

"Dare to ask Brother Tai what ....."

The person who came replied simply:

"In Xia Qi Rongxun, meet the Hou Ye."

Lan Ziyi thought, "It turned out to be the Qi family." “

This Taizheng Quartet military town, now the Beizhen Lan Thousand Array has just come out of the fortress to defeat the Wai Yi, and was awarded the title of Acting Duke, with a prominent reputation and a powerful world, and the Lan Thousand Array can be compared with the Dongzhen Qi Zhun who has been exterminating the island in the eastern coastal area.

Originally, the Daoyi pirates who had been burning and looting along the coast since the founding of Taisho were reformed and exterminated one by one after Qi Zhun led the troops.

It stands to reason that it is also a great achievement, but it is only to seal Qi Zhun Guan Neihou and lead the governor of Dongzhen.

Originally, the military towns of all parties looked at each other unpleasantly, so it was even more unpleasant for the east town to look at the north town.

This Qi Rongxun went on to say:

"My father only knows how to lead troops to fight and sweep away the islands, and he never thinks about fighting for fame and profit, so even if he clears the coast, makes great achievements, and protects the peace, he is not like some people, just because of the good relationship with the eunuchs, he has a good relationship with the eunuchs, and he can ascend to heaven alone, and even his son who has never been on the battlefield can be awarded the title of Guardian Pavilion, which is higher than the title of my father who has worked hard for decades, which is really chilling."

Peach Chase Tiger was furious when he heard this, and scolded:

"What the are you talking about?"

Lan Ziyi stopped the peach chasing the tiger, and Qi Rongxun continued:

"Humph! My Qi family is bright and straightforward, and I only know where to play these conspiracies and tricks for the country! It's just that in this world, it's all villains, and righteous men and gentlemen don't end well. ”

The Tao brothers were dumbfounded when they heard this, and they couldn't wait to immediately go up and beat this kid to the ground.

Lan Ziyi smiled and said:

"'The gentleman is frank, and the villain is a relative', my Lan family has been loyal and good for generations, I don't know what Brother Qi's so-called conspiracy and tricks, what is it to take refuge in the eunuch?"

Qi Rongxun sneered:

"When the court was discussing the reward, several university scholars from the Military Aircraft Department proposed a concert to enlist your father Lan Qianzhen into the court as a captain, but the master of ceremonies Bingbi Long not only returned the ticket, but also did not know how to get the emperor to agree to make your father as the acting prince, and also added the title of the governor of the five armies, and there was an unheard of title of deputy marshal of soldiers and horses in the world. If you didn't take refuge in the eunuchs, you would have told me how to explain it? “

Peach chased the tiger and scolded:

"You Daoyi, you are simply a red general, and my general's military achievements are outstanding!"

Qi Rongxun scolded back:

"Yo, Lord Weihou, it's not enough to come by yourself, and you have to bring three dogs, what's the matter? Want to bite someone? “

"**** your mother!" Tao chased the tiger and yelled, and the two brothers around him rolled up their sleeves and planned to go up together, but Lan Ziyi stretched out his hand to stop them.

Although he was unhappy to be insulted like this, Lan Ziyi always felt relieved for some reason.

At this moment, there was a burst of bored laughter from the stone bridge over the lake

"Don't stop, don't stop, let's fight. I've long wanted to see who is more powerful in the North Town Soldiers and the East Town Soldiers, it's much more exciting than watching tigers and leopards fight. “

Lan Ziyi seemed to have a feeling for this person, but he had been focusing on Qi Rongxun's side just now and didn't have the heart to think about it. That feeling is somewhat similar to Lan Ziyi's feelings towards his mother, Lan Ziyi can always feel his mother's position in the General's Mansion, and sometimes he can also feel his mother's mood. Lan Ziyi thought that this was the case between mother and son, and others should be like this, and he never told anyone. I feel this way again today, and for someone other than my mother.

Lan Ziyi followed the prestige and saw a young man leading the left and right hugs, and walked down from the stone bridge with a few maids in his arms.

This young man is handsome, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but his face is a scoundrel, and his gestures exude the arrogance of a ruffian in a stock market.

The teenager should not be very old, but he is obviously overly drunk, and he looks old and frail on the outside.

And Lan Ziyi felt that this person was mentally discouraged, and the six gods had no owner, like a pile of mud that had been reluctantly shaped into a human form, which could collapse at any time.

But the strange thing is that Lan Ziyi's feelings for this person are especially obvious, as if he feels a dazzling light.

The young man also seemed to feel Lan Ziyi, and stared at Lan Ziyi for a long time, and an expression of disgust gradually appeared on his face.

Lan Ziyi snorted in his heart and thought:

"I guess it's King De, it's bad now, we don't like each other."

Sure enough, Qi Rongxun on the side saw the young man and hurriedly knelt down and saluted, saying:

"See King De!"

Seeing this, Lan Ziyi and the Tao brothers also hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted.

After staring at Lan Ziyi for a while, King De waved his hand and said:

"Get up, get up. Lan Ziyi is here now, then all the people in my house will be there. Just right, let's eat. “

As he spoke, he laughed with the maid next to him and bought the governor's hall.

Qi Rongxun glanced at Lan Ziyi, snorted coldly, and followed in.

Lan Ziyi got up and patted the dust on his pants, looking at the angry Tao brothers behind him,

桃淚虎 says:

"What did the young master do to encourage him? It's a good day! ”

Lan Ziyi smiled and said:

"Take a step back and open the sky. What kind of person I Lan Ziyi is, everyone naturally knows after a long time, why bother fighting for these tongues. ”

As he spoke, he pulled the Tao brothers into the governor's hall.
