Chapter 725: Tour the Imperial City
Mao Wenlong had no interest in being the emperor, he didn't want to be a canary in the birdcage, and he didn't have the heart to take care of the government. and those so-called aristocratic etiquette made Mao Wenlong uncomfortable, and all the above reasons were the reasons why he didn't want to be the emperor.
Some people may say that Mao Wenlong is not knowing the blessing in the blessing, and he is pretending to be high. But everyone has their own aspirations, and the vast majority of people in the world dream of being the king of God and holding the power of life and death in one hand, but those are just dreams in the end.
If the truth comes, it is estimated that the vast majority of people will begin to regret it. After all, you don't have that life, so if you sit in the position of the Ninety-Five, you may also be bored.
Everyone envies the emperor's scenery, but they don't know that in secret, the emperor's suffering is absolutely unbearable. Although Mao Wenlong has never been an emperor, he has seen it with his own eyes, and from Chongzhen's body, he has seen too much helplessness and embarrassment, and it is not appropriate for such an emperor!
Mao Wenlong waved his hand and said undoubtedly: "Then just use the original country name of the Ming Dynasty and save trouble." ”
Hong Chengchou was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and said with a face full of disbelief: "Follow the original country name of the Ming Dynasty? ”
Mao Wenlong raised his eyebrows: "What, isn't it okay?" ”
Hong Chengchou nodded stunned and said, "Yes, it's okay, it's just ......"
Mao Wenlong directly interrupted Hong Chengchou: "It's okay, where did so much nonsense come from." Okay, that's the end of it, if you don't have anything else to do, go about your business. ”
After speaking, Mao Wenlong didn't wait for Hong Chengchou to react, he raised his leg and slipped away. Hong Chengchou looked at Mao Wenlong who was scurrying away, his face was full of helplessness, in the world, it is estimated that Mao Wenlong is such a strange thing.
Unhappy in his heart, Hong Chengchou didn't dare to be too tight** Wenlong, after all, it was not easy to persuade Mao Wenlong to agree to the founding of the country. If Mao Wenlong changed his mind because of something that was not very important, it would really outweigh the losses.
With the idea of putting it aside first, Hong Chengchou didn't care too much about it, anyway, when Mao Xiaohu becomes the emperor in the future, what rules or country names will be set at that time, then Mao Wenlong can't say more.
After leaving Hong Chengchou, Mao Wenlong simply didn't go back to the bedroom, and directly called his family members who had not yet entered the mansion, and got into the carriage together and went to the ancient imperial city of Xi'an.
Xi'an in the Tang Dynasty was extremely prosperous, there were many stories here, and it was the origin of Journey to the West and the beginning of the Silk Road. Staying in such a place, Mao Wenlong was still quite looking forward to it, and with great excitement, he hurried to his family with him.
When Mao Wenlong got out of the carriage, he saw that the scene in front of him was so different from the fantasy in his mind that his face immediately showed a full look of disappointment.
The mottled city walls are full of holes, and although there are some renovations, it is still difficult to hide the traces of history. Just from this superficial thing, Mao Wenlong didn't dare to have too much expectation in the imperial city.
The carriage slowly passed through the tall city gate and entered the imperial city. The so-called imperial city is generally divided into an inner city and an outer city, and the place where Mao Wenlong walked in at this moment belongs to the outer city, which is still in tatters everywhere, and there are traces left after the war everywhere.
From the traces left by these wars, Mao Wenlong can hardly imagine how many bloody sons and daughters have died here since ancient times. There is no right or wrong in history, only people have a debate about right and wrong, and where there are people, there is right and wrong, Mao Wenlong feels that this is indeed the truth.
After some emotion, Mao Wenlong slowly walked towards the inner city with the carriage, and after passing through the long corridor, Mao Wenlong finally arrived in the inner city. It's much better here than the outer city, with some new buildings and greenery giving this silent imperial city some life.
Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan each led their children out of the carriage, and the family stood outside the majestic hall, looking up at the tall Taiji Palace, imagining the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
After a long time, Mao Wenlong let out a sigh, disturbing the original peace: "It's a pity that yesterday's prosperity is just a passing cloud." ”
Chen Lan was very surprised when he heard this, and opened his mouth to ask: "Why does Xianggong sigh like this?" ”
In Chen Lan's opinion, although the Taiji Palace in front of him is very old, there are some places where you can clearly see the traces of rest. Although the exterior has been repainted, it cannot hide the mottled marks left by the years on this treasure hall. In addition to these, it is not difficult for people to see the prosperity of the prosperous era at a glance.
Mao Wenlong smiled bitterly: "Isn't it? The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty can be imagined, although it is an exaggeration to claim that all countries are coming to the dynasty, but in the long history, it is also second to none, unsurpassed. But if you look at the current Chang'an, if it weren't for the fact that the military division had been secretly repairing before, it is estimated that what we would see would be all broken bones. ”
Indeed, since the Ming Dynasty, Chang'an has been very defeated, especially the previous war, which almost turned it into a ruin. Hong Chengchou has been repairing in secret for five years, but he still has not been able to restore the imperial city to one-third of its former level.
This may be inseparable from Hong Chengchou's small investment, but it also indirectly shows that this Chang'an City is indeed enough to lose.
Chen Lan heard that it was reasonable, so he didn't open his mouth to distinguish it from Mao Wenlong, but Mao Xiaohu shrugged his little head and shouted: "Daddy, grandpa lied to people, he said that when the child becomes the emperor in the future, there will be a splendid palace to play." ”
Obviously, Mao Xiaohu in front of him was fooled by Hong Chengchou, and the little guy would have found out.
Mao Wenlong laughed when he heard this: "Actually, your grandfather didn't lie to you, but he didn't have time to continue repairing now." When the entire Imperial City is completely restored in the future, then it will no longer be such a desolate scene as it is in front of you. ”
The little guy promised to be the emperor for himself, but Mao Wenlong didn't allow him to slip away halfway, so he directly gave his son a reassurance. Mao Xiaohu is a five-year-old child, who is Mao Wenlong's opponent at the moment, and when he heard his father's affirmation, Mao Xiaohu was no longer entangled.
The renovation of the Taiji Hall has not yet been completed, which makes Mao Wenlong lose interest in playing, and he instructed the horseman to set off to the harem. The family got back into the carriage and headed for the harem where they would live in the future amid the crisp sound of horses' hooves.
The East Palace is the purpose of Mao Wenlong's trip, where the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the small bridge is flowing water, and the scenery is beautiful. Compared with the two places outside, it is obvious that Hong Chengchou has deliberately put a lot of effort here.
The renovation of this place has been completed, and there is no dilapidated place in sight, and many people are watering flowers and sweeping the floor, and they are very busy.
