The convoy slowly passed through the long doorway.

A huge avenue appeared in front of you, more than 100 meters wide, leading straight ahead.

Although Yang Qing had been mentally prepared, he was still taken aback. This is the legendary Suzaku Street, it's so wide, it's really atmospheric!

The streets are very clean, and if you look closely, you can see that the streets are covered with a layer of fine sand, presumably to prevent dust from flying, and second, to keep the roads from muddy on rainy days. There are no imaginary vendors on both sides, because the three-meter-high walls divide the tofu blocks in Chang'an City, which are neat and rigorous.

There are a total of 11 longitudinal avenues in the north and south in Chang'an City, and 14 avenues across the east and west, forming a neat grid layout. The square formed between the streets is the Li Fang (called "Li" in Sui and "Fang" in Tang). In the Tang Dynasty, there were a total of 110 squares, and there were two cities in the east and west (accounting for a total of four squares). Because a square in the southeast corner of the city is divided into Qujiang Pond, there are actually one hundred and nine squares. The thirty-six squares south of the imperial city are relatively small, only open the east and west two gates, and there is an east and west street in the square. The squares on both sides of the imperial city are open on all sides, and there are cross streets inside. In addition to a street or cross street, each square also has neatly planned vertical and horizontal curves, alleys, and streets along the wall of the square.

The two sides of the avenue are shaded by the elm acacia, and the row spacing is uniform, vertical and horizontal. There are drainage ditches dug on both sides, up to three meters wide, so there are stone bridges at the intersection to communicate.

As the capital of such a large empire, Chang'an had its own strict management system. The highest authority for the management of Chang'an City is the "Jingzhao Mansion", which consists of two counties, Chang'an and Wannian, with the 54 squares and the east city to the east of the Suzaku title under the jurisdiction of Wannian County, and the 55 squares and the west city to the west of the Suzaku Street under the jurisdiction of Chang'an County (this is very interesting, I don't know if the two counties will fight each other). There is a person in the preparation workshop, "Liji" (also known as "Lizheng"). There were a large number of troops stationed near the palace and the imperial city, and there were more than 100,000 people at times, and the whole city was heavily guarded. Each city gate and the fang are set up "Wuhou Shop" garrison guards, there are "City Gate Lang" in charge of the opening and closing of the city gates of the capital, the imperial city and the palace city, and there are 800 "door servants" on duty in turn (a very thunderous number). There is also a strict system for the opening and closing of each city gate, each fang, and the city gate. There are street drums in the six main streets that lead directly to the cities, and the city gates and square gates are opened after the drums are beaten at dawn, and when they are opened, they are first outside and then inside. At dusk, the doors are closed after the drums are beaten, and when they are closed, they are first inside and then outside. After the drums are beaten at dusk, pedestrians on the street must return to the shop and close the door. At night, there are "street envoys" patrolling to check the night, and the soldiers of each "Wuhou Shop" are patrolling and watching, and those who violate the prohibition and violating the night will be severely punished, and some are even killed by the cane on the spot. Therefore, there is a poem "The drums of the six streets do not stop pedestrians, and there is a moon in the vast sky of Jiuqu" to describe the scene of the curfew in Chang'an City. Every year, only the fifteenth to the seventeenth day of the first lunar month is closed for three days, and the doors of each square market can be opened widely, and the streets are lit up, and people can visit and watch on the streets all night.

The convoy slowly moved along Suzaku Street and walked for an hour before it stopped in front of Suzaku Gate.

Yang Wangcha Xiaosi called Yang Qing over, changed into court clothes and stepped out of the carriage.

"Qing'er, it's not early, I have to rush into the imperial city to meet Shangguan. You go back with your mother first and see how our new home is furnished. Remember, Chang'an City is full of dignitaries, don't cause trouble! ”

Yang Wang usually pampers Yang Qing a lot, loves it very much, and rarely speaks harshly. But now Yang Qing obviously heard Lao Tzu's abnormal tone, and his heart sank, so he quickly agreed respectfully.

Back in the carriage, Xiang'er asked with a smile: "The master told the son not to run around and cause trouble, right?" ”

Yang Qing smiled "haha": "Just you're smart!" Xiang'er, where is our new home? ”

"I heard my wife say that a few days ago, a senior official surnamed Song was accused of corruption and bribery, and after being verified, he was sentenced to exile in Chaoyang County, and his whole family was confiscated. Now that the lord has been promoted, the Holy Lord has rewarded us with his family's big mansion. Hmph, the house of a corrupt official can't live in vain! ”

"Oh? In which place? Yang Qing's eyes lit up, the house of huge greed must be good.

"In Daningfang, I heard that it is very close to the imperial city and Sannei." Speaking of her new home, the little girl also began to get excited.

"Yamauchi?" Yang Qing was puzzled.

"Oh, it's Taiji Palace, Daming Palace, and Xingqing Palace. In the past, there was only Taiji Palace, and later Emperor Taizong and Gaozong built Daming Palace, because in the east of Taiji Palace, it is also called Dongnei, and Taiji Palace is called Xinei. During the Kaiyuan period, the saint rebuilt the Xingqing Palace, called 'Nannei'. This is Chang'an Sannei. ”

"That Don...... Which house does the Holy Lord live in? Yang Qing asked with great interest.

"Shhhh How can the saint inquire casually? This is a great crime to kill the head! Xiang'er's little face turned pale, and she secretly opened the curtain to look outside.

"Hey, don't I remember." Yang Qing scratched his head in embarrassment.

"I heard that the saint usually is still in Xingqing Palace, and he will still return to Daming Palace when he encounters major events." Xiang'er felt that the carriage was still very safe, so she lowered her voice and said something.

"Oh? So what counts as a big deal? Yang Qing also asked in a low voice.

"That's a lot. Calendars, expeditions, prisoners, courts, so many, many. ”

Daning Fang is located on the east side of the third street east of Zhuque Street, the second square from north to south, and there are also historical records as "Taining Fang". Because it is relatively close to the palace city, the imperial city, and the Daming Palace, Gaozong was very respected by the princes and generals in the future, and many celebrities settled here. For example, Li Xian, the king of Ning, Li Fan, the king of Qi, Lu Xiangxian, the prime minister of Ruizong, Song Jing, the famous minister of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and Li Yan, the squire of the military department, all lived in Daningfang.

And Princess Taiping for the Empress Dowager Wu built the extremely luxurious Xuanji Temple (renamed "Xingtang Temple" in the 20th year of Kaiyuan) is a famous temple in the capital, there is a peony in the temple, once bloomed 2,100 flowers in one night, the name of Chang'an.

There is also Xuanzong personally supervised the construction of the Taiqing Palace is also in the Daning Fang, every year on New Year's Day, Zhonghe, Sheday, Shangsi four festivals and the end of the wax moon, Xuanzong will personally go to the temple to offer gifts, it is also an extremely spectacular place.

While speaking, the carriage had already turned into the gate of Daning Fang, and after another quarter of an hour, it stopped.

"Childe, we're here." Xiao Si shouted outside the carriage.

Yang Qing lifted the curtain and just jumped out of the car, wow! I was immediately shocked by the house in front of me.

This official is really greedy! Just looking at this gate, it is two rooms wide.

The big red vermilion door with the snow-white courtyard wall is eye-catching, the door plaque is written with the word "Yang Mansion", the pen is strong, and I don't know whose ink treasure it is, the servants on both sides of the door stand in two rows to respectfully welcome the master home.
