Chang'an, take the meaning of "long-term stability". In the long years of China's history, a total of 17 dynasties and regimes have established their capitals in Chang'an, with a total capital of more than 1,200 years. Chang'an is the first of the four ancient capitals of China, and is also one of the four ancient capitals of the world, along with Athens, Rome and Cairo.

In the Han and Tang dynasties, Chang'an has always been the largest city in the world and the center of the world.

After the Sui unified the Central Plains, the initial capital was Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty. At that time, Chang'an of the Han Dynasty had experienced a long period of war, disrepair, dilapidation, narrowness, and serious pollution, so Emperor Wen of Sui decided to build another new city. In the second year of the emperor's reign (582), Yang Jian chose a place in the southeast of Chang'an City to build a new capital, which was named "Daxing City". The area of Daxing City is 84 square kilometers, mainly presided over by Yu Wenkai planning and construction, first built Daxing Palace City, and then built the Imperial City. In the third year of the emperor's reign (583), the Longshou Canal, Yong'an Canal and Qingming Canal were excavated on the west side of the city, and the water was diverted, the water was handed over and the water was Lushui, and it was directly connected to the palace city. In the second year, more than 300 miles were dug from the east of Daxing City to Tongguan, which was named Guangtong Canal, and the Wei water was injected into the canal to make the Cao Yun directly connected to the Yellow River. In 618, Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, established the Tang Dynasty, and changed Daxing to Chang'an, and since then the greatest city in the world has played her most magnificent chapter.

At this time, Chang'an was in its heyday, and Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty was the first large city in the history of the world to reach a population of one million. In addition to local residents, royal families, dignitaries, soldiers, slaves and miscellaneous servants, Buddhist monks and nuns, and ethnic minorities, there were also many foreign merchants, envoys, students, and monks studying abroad, with a total of no less than 30,000 people. At that time, as many as 300 countries and regions came to Chang'an and Tang Tong. Tang's science and technology culture, political system, and food fashion spread from Chang'an to the rest of the world.

For such a city, Yang Qing approached step by step with the mood of pilgrimage.

The majestic city has appeared in front of him, Yang Qing ignored the flying dust, greedily looked at Chang'an City that was getting closer and closer, and refused to put down the curtain of the carriage, causing Xiang'er to cover his mouth and nose and complain.

It's finally approaching, the south main gate of Chang'an, Mingde Gate. The magnificent gatehouse is majestic, the five gates are wide open, and the coachman drives the car to the right gate and waits to enter the city. Although it was already afternoon, there was still an endless stream of cars and pedestrians entering and leaving Chang'an City.

Originally, Yang Qing didn't have to enter the city through Mingde Gate. When the boat arrived in Yunxiang, he was greeted by the old housekeeper who first went to Chang'an City, and after meeting the head of the house, his mother and son, he said that the eldest son Yang Qian was busy with official affairs in recent days and could not come to greet him. After resting for one night, Steward Ding led all the way to the northwest to Chang'an. Originally, it was the closest to enter the city from the east gate Qixia Gate, but on the road, I heard that the three south gates of Chang'an were centered on the Mingde Gate, which was also the largest and most special (the other two gates of Qixia and Anhua only had three door openings, and the Mingde Gate had five), the most important thing was that the Mingde Gate was facing the Vermilion Bird Street (because it was connected to the Imperial City Vermilion Gate in the north, also known as the Heavenly Street), Yang Qing couldn't hold it back, and asked for the consent of his parents, and the whole family convoy entered the city from the Mingde Gate.

Yang Qing stared at the pair of giant drums on both sides of the middle gate, which were three people high, for a while, and found that the car had stopped, and saw that there were too many carriages and mules that were going to enter the city, and everyone was queuing. But there are fewer doorway cars on the left, so I don't know why the driver doesn't go to the left to enter the city.

"Childe doesn't know, Chang'an City's access control rules are left in and right out. Fooling around is punishable severely. Xiang'er whispered an explanation when she heard Yang Qing ask.

Looking at the mighty soldiers at the city gate, Yang Qing shrank his head: "The doorway in the middle is usually not allowed to walk around, I don't think anyone has ever passed through there." ”

"Yes, I heard that the Holy One will only go in the middle when he leaves the city through the Mingde Gate and has major ceremonies."

Yang Qing nodded, this is still similar to that of later generations.

"Drive!" With the sound of horses' hooves, a carriage galloped from behind, and the bearded coachman was sweating profusely and his eyes were quite anxious.

Yang Qing subconsciously turned his head to look when he heard the movement, huh? Who is it? So urgent.

The carriage was coming too fast, although the coachman had already reined in when he saw that the front was jammed, but he only pulled the horse's head away, and the bumpy carriage still hit the side of the carriage where Yang Qing was sitting with a "bang".

"Oops!" Yang Qing and Xiang'er shouted at the same time, and the huge inertia caused both of their heads to hit the wooden plank on the wall of the car, it hurt!

Fortunately, Yang Qing had already retracted his head when he saw that the situation was not good, otherwise he would have been directly hit by the carriage that caused the accident.

Xiang'er rubbed the painful forehead, and as soon as her eyebrows were raised, she was about to go crazy, when she heard a very gentle female voice sounding outside the car: "Zhuang Jiu, what's wrong?" Did you hit someone? ”

Yang Qing was originally quite angry in his heart, but for some reason, when he heard this voice, the anger in his heart seemed to have diminished a lot. With a move in his heart, Yang Qing stopped Xiang'er, who was about to be coquettish, and raised his hand to lift the car curtain.

"Yes, miss. The villain accidentally crashed into a carriage and disturbed the young lady, damn the villain! The bearded coachman respectfully bowed to the car and apologized first, and then turned around and smiled apologetically at Yang Qing, "This little brother, I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, I'm offended!" ”

Yang Qing was about to answer, when the curtain of the carriage next to him moved, and a delicate and elegant face appeared in front of him. Yang Qing couldn't help but breathe at first glance, and froze there.

A real temperament beauty!

At the age of 20 people, the eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, and under the eyebrows of the distant mountains are a pair of clear eyes like springs, with a delicate and straight nose bridge and small and ruddy lips. The moment the curtain was lifted, it was like the bright moon avoiding the entanglement of the clouds in silence, and a hollow valley orchid was gently displayed in the world.

With apologetic eyes, the beauty jumped down lightly with the support of the coachman, and looked at Yang Qing: "The little woman was in a hurry and collided with your car, I'm very sorry!" Has Childe ever been injured? ”

The sound was like an empty stream, Yang Qing was fascinated when he heard it, and he didn't realize what the other party asked. It wasn't until Xiang'er secretly poked at his waist and eyes that he woke up like a dream, and said repeatedly: "Oh, you might as well do it." …… Belch...... I wasn't hurt, I was tired. ”

This answer was nondescript, and when he heard the beautiful woman on the other side cover his mouth and smile, Yang Qing came to his senses and couldn't help but blush. Thinking that she was still sitting in the car, the eldest girl got out of the car to apologize, not quite like words, and quickly got out of the car.

The young lady wanted to go back to the car after apologizing, but when she saw that Yang Qing had come down, it was not good to go back immediately, so she stood quietly next to the car and waited. After Yang Qing got out of the car, he couldn't find anything to say for a while, touched his nose, and looked into the doorway like others.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and the young lady smiled slightly: "Childe's surname is high?" ”

"Yang Qing!" I was looking for something to talk to others, but I didn't expect the beauty to speak first, and Yang Qing subconsciously answered quickly.

"It turned out to be Yang Gongzi. Little woman Lan Xin, thank you for your magnanimity. ”

Orchid? This name is a little familiar, where have you heard it? Yang Qing was about to answer, but the bearded coachman intercepted him: "Miss, the front has moved, please get in the car first." ”

Yang Qing looked at it, and sure enough, he could enter the city gate immediately. Forget it, after all, when we meet in Pingshui, a delicate lady in the family, it is too obvious to ask Meng Lang, so don't let it go. Bowed his head slightly and arched his hand: "Miss has something urgent, please go first." ”

Princess Lan Xin didn't shirk either, and saluted again: "Thank you so much Young Master Yang!" There will be a period later. With that, he smiled and boarded the car.

Back in the car, Princess Lan Xin sighed softly, a trace of worry appeared between her brows.

"Princess, why did you get out of the car? In case someone finds out......" The palace maid Xiao'e looked at Lan Xin worriedly.

"We bumped into someone, and we couldn't say it if we didn't get out of the car in person to apologize. Besides, I feel very depressed, so it's good to get off the station. ”

"Princess...... Are you still sad about Mr. Dou's affairs? Xiao'e took Lan Xin's expression in her eyes and asked boldly.

Lan Xin looked at the pu fan in front of her blankly, did not answer, and felt uncomfortable involuntarily. Mr. Dou was full of wealth and high character, but because he accidentally collided with Mrs. Qin's tribute and dining team, he was almost killed on the spot by a group of vicious familymen! Although he was finally spared, his father completely ignored his status as a princess teacher, and still demoted him from Chang'an. Perhaps, the father didn't know, all this was made by Yang Zhao's villain?

Thinking about saying goodbye to Mr. Dou just now, hearing his pretended relaxed advice, Lan Xin's heart couldn't help but feel sour again......

Yang Qing sat in the car, his heart was full of excitement and excitement about to enter Chang'an, the amazing chance encounter with Lan Xin just now had been temporarily left behind by him, and his eyes had already turned to the center of the Tang Empire, which was close at hand......
