After five or six years of wandering life, Yan Ming finally returned to Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty.

Today's Chang'an is very different from the Chang'an of the past.

The city has expanded several times.

At that time, the East City and the West City were the outer blocks of Chang'an City. Now it has become the inner city of Chang'an City. What Yan Ming didn't expect was that the old mansion of the Tian family in Dongshi had appreciated several times now. It can even be compared to a villa in Maolyeung-eup.

Such a big change made Yan Ming feel very pleasantly surprised.

The two brothers, Dou Wen and Dou Wu, have now become the main officials in charge of construction and civil engineering in the DPRK and China.

Chang'an City has its current scale, and it is all the credit of two people.

The wealthy Chang'an City, under the planning and design of Lao Xu, already has residential buildings.

It's just that these buildings are not too high, only three or four floors.

Unlike later buildings, these buildings have cornices and corners, which look quite Chinese.

Of course, among the Chang'an City, the tallest and most brilliant are the two palaces.

One is Weiyang Palace, and the other is Changle Palace.

These two palaces have also undergone numerous reconstructions and expansions over the years. Today, it is far more majestic than any palace that can be seen in later generations.

The various yamen of the court are concentrated in the original old city. Residents are in the newly built outer urban areas.

Yan Ming walked on the streets of Chang'an, as if he was traveling.

There are also many people with East Asian faces, walking on the streets of Chang'an, speaking Chinese in their mouths, and their tones are very pure.

Looking at Yan Ming and others, whose faces were black with the sun because of the perennial running, all Chang'an people had a feeling of looking at the person who asked for food.

Even the soldiers patrolling the streets of Chang'an City quietly noticed Yan Ming and his party. Looking at this group of people in shabby clothes, with knives on their bodies, and military crossbows at their waists, they didn't dare to ask too much.

After all, people who can enter the city like this are not ordinary people.

The patrolling soldiers had to follow and observe carefully.

Li Ling looked at the huge Chang'an and said with a smile: "Chang'an has changed too much, I can't find a home." ”

Sima Qian is Li Ling's good brother, looking at the huge Chang'an City, he opened his mouth, but he didn't say it in the end.

"What do you want to say?" Li Ling asked.

"I want to write an article about Chang'an Fu, but I don't have the talent of Sima Xiangrugong." Sima Qian said with a smile.

"It's all Sima, and there's a big gap." Li Ling said with a smile.

Huo Quzhi followed closely behind Yan Ming and walked in the direction of Weiyang Palace.

That's where he grew up.

This little guy with fine clothes and food has grown up now. With a hint of dragon walking.

In Yan Ming's journey in the past few years, he has also encountered dangers.

Among these students, Huo Quzhi and Li Ling were the most ferocious.

Although the other students also knew how to use the swallow knife in combat, they even wore military crossbows. But no one is as good as the two of them.

Sometimes Yan Ming sighs that a famous general is always a famous general, even after more changes and more edification. After many years, they will still follow their old path.

The palace gate guards of Chang'an City have changed a lot.

But at this moment, there was a freshly dressed and slightly fat chamberlain standing at the door, looking from afar.

When he saw Yan Ming and the others, he ran over from afar.

The guards guarding the palace gate were surprised, who would let Xu Jia, the big inner servant, greet him so enthusiastically.

When they saw the group of people who were not much stronger than Hanako, they were all stunned.

"Master Hou has worked hard. The little Xu Jia waited for Hou Ye for a long time. Xu Jia said respectfully.

Yan Ming looked at Xu Jia and said, "You have also gained weight." ”

"The blessing of the Hou Ye. His Majesty is waiting for Hou Ye in the main hall, knowing that Hou Ye is coming back today, there is no one in the palace, and His Majesty said that he wants to fight with Hou Ye. Xu Jia said with a smile on his face.

Yan Ming nodded and said, "Your Majesty is still so energetic. ”

Turned around and gave the swallow knife and military crossbow on his body to Li Ling, glanced at Huo Quzhi and said, "Huzi, give your sword to Li Ling, let's go to see Your Majesty." ”

Huo Qu was overjoyed when he heard this. gave the knife and military crossbow in his hand to Li Ling.

Li Ling accepted it with a smile.

The patrol soldiers who followed behind saw that this group of people went directly to Weiyang Palace, and even the palace attendants came out to greet them respectfully, and they couldn't help but stick out their tongues.

They were glad they didn't rush up to intercept it.

This group of shabby-dressed people definitely doesn't look so simple.

Under the guidance of Xu Jia, Yan Ming and Huo Qubing walked inside.

Gong Weiyang Palace has become too wide.

Entering the palace gate, there is a vast square. They are all cement mats and green bricks.

Xu Jia pointed to a large hall in front of him that was not high, but looked extremely majestic, and said, "Now Your Majesty is working in the Mingtai Palace. Come on. ”

Yan Ming nodded and said, "This palace has really changed a lot in the past few years. It's all the credit of Lao Xu. ”

Xu Jia said with a smile: "It's all the credit of Hou Ye Xu, and the little one is very fortunate to have the same surname as Hou Ye Xu." ”

Yan Ming patted Xu Jia's shoulder and walked to the Mingtai Hall with Huo Quai.

The Mingtai Hall is not a square building, but a circular building similar to the Temple of Heaven. This makes the whole palace look more imposing.

The entire hall is full of glass windows, which look bright and dazzling.

At the entrance of the main hall, there are naturally guards guarding it.

Seeing Yan Ming and Huo Qu's illness, he immediately reported it loudly to Liu Che inside.

"Your Majesty declares you." After getting Liu Che's response, the guard conveyed loudly.

Yan Ming and Huo Qubing approached the hall one after another.

Etiquette is indispensable.

Liu Che sat on the sofa in the office and looked at Yan Ming and Huo Quai, who were giving gifts below, and forced a smile. And the little boy beside him couldn't help but laugh and said: "Father, they are so worn, and the retainer wants to give them a new set of clothes." ”

Yan Ming looked up and saw the little boy.

Liu Che patted the child on the shoulder and said, "Meet your Uncle Yan Ming." ”

The boy came over to pay a visit, but before Yan Ming could bow down, he grabbed the child's hand and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Liu Ju." The child replied innocently.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for having such a smart prince." Yan Ming said with a smile.

Liu Che had already stood up at this time, came to the two of them, patted Huo Quai's shoulder first, and said, "Beard, have you grown so tall?" Can the body be strong? ”

Huo Quzhi smiled: "It's very strong." It's a pity that there are no powerful enemies around the Han, so I can't show it. ”

Yan Ming and Liu Che were amused by Huo Quai.

After a few words of greeting, Liu Che asked Liu Ju to take Huo to visit Wei Zifu when he was sick.

Above the main hall, only Yan Ming and Liu Che remained.

"Do you want to practice with me?" Liu Che said with a smile.

Yan Ming shook his head and said, "Over the years, it has been abandoned. Not a match for His Majesty. ”

After a few jokes, he talked about the scale construction of Chang'an City, and also talked about Dou Wen and Dou Wu.
