Chapter 672: Kyoto of the Great Han Dynasty (Page 1/1)

Xingwangfu, in the late Tang Dynasty before the Southern Han Dynasty, the name is also called Guangzhou like later generations, and it is the residence of the envoy of the five provinces of Lingnan and the envoy of the Lingnan Dongdao Jiedu in the Tang Dynasty. Liu Yan's elder brother Liu Yin and himself have successively served as the envoy of the Lingnan East Province, starting from Fengzhou and becoming powerful in Guangzhou, which is undoubtedly the birthplace of Liu Yan's brothers.

Standing on a high place and looking at it from afar, the city of Xingwangfu is high and wide, majestic and magnificent, there are no less than dozens of tall city towers, along the slightly undulating hilly terrain stretches endlessly, you can't see the end at a glance, and the scale is only seen in your life.

The west and south of Xingwangfu are surrounded by the Pearl River, but the north is backed by Baiyun Mountain, the front water and the back mountain, and the terrain is unique. But from the perspective of Li Yi, a later generation, he feels that such a terrain is only suitable for the south to be king, and there is no overlord spirit of the north at all, and if he wants to win the Central Plains, there is even more little hope.

After crossing the largest and longest Huangqi Bridge on the West Pearl River, we soon came to the official road south of Liuhua Lake. Looking at the zigzag lake not far from the north of the official road, Li Yi remembered the allusion that the monk Zhengyuan said, this Liuhua Lake was actually named by Princess Qingyuan herself.

Although I really wanted to go there and explore its magic, it was already past the afternoon, and seeing that it was about to get dark, I was afraid that I would not be able to enter the city if I delayed it for a while.

A group of chariots and horses soon came to the Anding Gate on the northwest side of Xingwang's Mansion, and the guards at the city gate routinely checked the identities of everyone and let them go respectfully.

But as soon as he entered the city, Li Yi was stunned. The wide and straight street in front of him has far exceeded his imagination. The width of this thoroughfare is as much as 100 meters, and it looks like a large square that stretches endlessly, and the road separated by patterned stones in the middle is also about 30 meters wide.

The bluestone paved road is smooth and tidy, and near the roadbed, there are sewers every 30 meters or so, all of which are made of stone slabs that have been hewn into a grid.

And there is a huge air dead wind lamp at each corner of each intersection, and the brightness is enough to illuminate the entire intersection, it seems that the urban infrastructure of this Xingwangfu is quite complete. When I saw the stone monument on the side of the road, I realized that this street was actually Chang'an Avenue that runs through the east and west of the capital.

Li Yi was amazed, but also thought of the glory of the Tang Dynasty back then. It is said that the streets of Chang'an Avenue and Suzaku Avenue in Datang are even wider, both with a width of 155 meters, and the rest of the main streets are also about 100 meters.

Xingwangfu was completely modeled after the regulations of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, although it has not yet reached the scale of Chang'an City, but it is already breathtaking.

After walking along this famous Chang'an Avenue for a while, Qian Cong told Li Yi that he had notified Guo Xiaoshuang, Huo Feng and others who had arrived in advance that after dropping off all the supplies in Li Yi's mansion, they all went to Yunnan Jinjuan to rest.

The rest of the guards who came with Li Yi were also inconvenient to stay in the Li Mansion for a long time, so it was best to go to the Yunnan Jinju Academy for a while. And I heard that Lin Qingliang has already set up a number of properties in the capital, and their future location should not be a problem.

Lin Yi also readily agreed, once he arrived at home, Li Yi's safety was guaranteed, and with his current status, it was extremely inconvenient for so many people to accompany him, and it was easier to be criticized.

Except for Lian Jun and his wife, Le Meng, and Huo Feng who returned home with Li Yi, the rest of the people have made proper arrangements, and after everyone settles down, let's discuss future matters after a while!

While Li Yi readily agreed, he was faintly worried. The so-called Shanxing Marquis Mansion, where his home is located, where to find it? The huge capital Xingwang Mansion has as many as 49 places in the square alone, and there are countless streets and alleys. Although I have inquired from Wanru and know that the Shanxinghou Mansion is in the Xing'an Fang on Chang'an Avenue, it is really difficult for me to find a way to 'go home' if I am not familiar with life here!

When Li Yi was hesitating, the carriages and horses had reached a junction, and although the street perpendicular to Chang'an Avenue was twice as wide as Chang'an Avenue, it was enough to make people speechless.

Qian Cong strangled his mount and smiled at Li Yi and said, "Dashuai, it's time for us to break up." Not far north along this Xing'an Street is the mansion of the Dashuai family, so we will not go with us. And in Enli Fang, which is separated by two intersections to the south, is the place where we enter the Yunnan Academy. As long as the commander wants to see us, he just needs to send someone to inform us. ”

Li Yi looked at the street to the north, the whole street on both sides of the house is a continuous high gate, the gatehouse is magnificent, the lantern in front of the door is hung high, I think it should be the gathering place of dignitaries.

Li Yi nodded and said: "You have worked hard all the way, when I first arrived in the capital, there must be many brothers who have not experienced the prosperity and excitement of Xingwangfu, and there is nothing to do in the past few days, the big guys can look around at will, as long as they don't cause any trouble." ”

Lin Yi said: "Seventh brother, don't worry, I will arrange these things." It's just that there is a dragon and a crouching tiger in this capital, but we can't do it recklessly, if something goes wrong, no one can afford it. Therefore, when the second uncle has arranged our accommodation, everyone is not allowed to move around at will for the time being, and everything must be arranged by me and General He. You know, someone is already staring at us now, and if we're not careful, we'll lose everything. ”

Li Yi nodded approvingly: "What the sixth brother said is that everything is according to the arrangement of the sixth brother and General He." When I enter the palace tomorrow to meet the emperor and arrange everything, I will go to meet you. By the way, where did Uncle Guo settle down? ”

Lin Yi sighed and didn't speak, Qian Cong smiled from the side: "Guo Sangongzi has temporarily lived in the Yunnan Jinju Academy, and it was Xiaoshuang who sent him over, after all, it is inconvenient for him to live in your mansion." What's more, after the expansion of the Yunnan Jinju Academy, it is not a problem to live in two or three hundred people, and there is no one more than him. ”

"It's just that he has nothing to do with us after all, and it's better not to let him know about some things, so it's okay to find him a house outside after a while and let him move out."

Li Yi didn't have any good ideas now, so he had to nod in agreement, and after a few more words of explanation with everyone, he disposed of his hands at the street corner. Qian Cong, Lin Yi, He Shoujie and others, with their families and luggage, rushed south.
