Chapter 3 Chang'an

Changan.

Located in the Guanzhong Plain, it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.

And Chang'an from the Han Dynasty ancestor Liu Bang after the establishment of the capital, it quickly became the world's largest city, the city wall is after several times of construction, the towering city wall stretches 30 kilometers from east to west, spans 25 kilometers from north to south, the city is 16 meters high, and the thickness reaches more than 6 meters.

And this is only the standard of the Han Dynasty.

On the one hand, the city wall of Chang'an City began to be rebuilt again, on the one hand, the city wall is a little old, which does not conform to the image of the imperial capital, and on the other hand, it has experienced too many wars here, and some places have even collapsed.

Taking this opportunity, Gaozu Li Yuan directly ordered people to take the opportunity to keep the original city wall of Chang'an City, and moved nearly ten kilometers outward to rebuild a new city wall.

This project is very large, it has lasted until this year, there is still some finishing work to be done, according to historical records, to the sixth year of Zhenguan, all the projects were completely completed, and this project also officially laid the fact that Chang'an is the first in the world.

……

After marching for half a month, Li Kong finally saw this majestic capital, and when he got out of the car and saw the mighty city wall, an unstoppable emotion instantly appeared in his heart and rushed to his mind:

Chang'an, this is Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty is majestic, stretching for thousands of years, and many years later, there are still many Chinatowns, and the name of the Tang people, from this year, this place began to spread to the world.

No matter how Li Shimin's position came about, his merits cannot be erased by anyone, or even distorted by half a point.

"Yunfeng, after experiencing life and death, do you have any feelings?" Cheng Yanjin walked behind Li Kong at some point and asked softly.

Li Kong shook his head, then nodded again, and said, "It's complicated, General Cheng, shall we go in?" ”

Cheng Yanjin laughed, patted Li Kong's shoulder, and said: "It's not okay, I have to take these soldiers to the nearby military camp to station, and then go into the city to report to Your Majesty, if you want to go home, you can go back first, after all, you are not in the military." ”

Not in the military?

Hearing these four words, Li Kong suddenly felt a little bitter, which was sympathy for his predecessor.

But the fact is that even if he died on the battlefield in order to defend against the Turks, no one can change the fact that he is not in the military.

"Then the little nephew will go in first, General Cheng will be busy!" With a deep sigh, Li Kong raised his legs and walked towards the gate of Chang'an City.

Some people say that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was the most afraid of death, leaving the reputation of 'the Son of Heaven guarding the country, and the king of the dead society'.

But Chang'an is only less than three hundred miles away from the Hetao, and it only takes half a day to reach it by galloping on a fast horse, and now, there are countless alien races living in the land of the Hetao, and even the people in power are Turkic, of course, nominally it is still a territory of the Tang Dynasty, but everyone knows this kind of thing, and it is only for the common people.

Therefore, if you really want to talk about 'the Son of Heaven guarding the country', the Tang Emperor is not weaker than the Ming Emperor, and even in terms of geographical location, Chang'an is more likely to be ravaged by the iron cavalry of the northern aliens.

Otherwise, in the next year, that is, in the second year of Zhenguan, there will be no 'Weishui Alliance' that Li Shimin humiliated for life.

After nine years of stability in Chang'an, Zhenguan has some signs of prosperity, but because of the war, there are not many people here, only less than 100,000 households, hundreds of thousands of people.

But everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, the streets are very lively, and Li Kong, who walked here, has a feeling of coming back to life for the first time, this feeling is completely different from when he saw Datang Tieqi, after all, in his bones, he is still just an existence that needs to live with countless people.

"Eldest son, you are finally back, hurry up and go home with the old slave, the master is almost worried about you!" Suddenly, a group of people stood in front of Li Kong, and an old man who looked to be over forty years old looked at him with excitement on his face.

Li Fu, the housekeeper of the outer courtyard of Li Tao's family, was a relative of Li Tao's hometown in the past, and later returned to Chang'an with Li Tao, and this Li Fu is also the only one who did not regard Li Kong as a concubine, so he is still full of gratitude to Li Fu and Li Kong.

"It turned out to be Fauber!"

"Oh, hurry up, the lord knows that you are coming back today, and he has already prepared a luncheon at home, and specially picked up the wind and washed the dust for the eldest son, if you go back late, the lord is probably going to be unhappy again." Li Fu couldn't help but pull Li Kong and walked forward.

But his words surprised Li Kong a little.

He knew that it was not until the Ming Dynasty that such a thing as three meals a day began to gradually become popular, and in the Tang Dynasty, the previous tradition of only two meals a day was continued.

Even if you are a wealthy family, you will not eat three meals under normal circumstances, unless there is something special.

Li Kong never expected that Li Tao would specially prepare lunch for him, could it be that there was something wrong in the memory he inherited? Or does Li Kong actually not know Li Tao?

Looking at Fu Bo with an excited face, Li Kong opened his mouth and said, "Fu Bo, I want to go and see my mother first, as for catching the wind, wait." ”

Speaking of this, Li Fu's face changed slightly, and then he looked left and right, and then he leaned in Li Kong's ear and said: "Let me tell you, your mother is not dead, everything is made by the master to show people, but this matter is too important, so don't say it." ”

Well? Li Kong's mind suddenly went blank.

Looking at Li Kong's expression, Li Fu smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "You should go and ask the master in person about this matter, now you have to go back and have a reception banquet with the master, so as not to hurt the master's heart." ”

Confused again, Li Kong felt that he was definitely the most traverser, how many mistakes did he make in less than twenty days?

It's just that why did Li Tao do this? Could it be that he was just trying to dispel Li Shimin's suspicion of him?

But then he threw this idea out, Li Shimin had been interested in Li Tao before, so there was no such thing as suspicion, and it can be seen that Li Shimin canonized Li Tao as the Duke of England after he ascended the throne. So what exactly is the reason?

Li Kong felt that he needed to have a good talk with this 'father' who had never met before.

Since his mother is not dead, the so-called visit naturally does not exist, so in the middle of the half-push, Li Kong followed Li Fu through several streets and stood in front of a high-door household.

'British Mansion', looking at the four powerful characters above his head, Li Kong took a deep breath, and then raised his legs and walked inside.

At the same time, in the Chang'an Imperial City, in the Ganlu Hall of the Inner City, a majestic man in his thirties was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, with an inexplicable smile on his face, looking at the waiter standing below, and said: "That rabbit cub is finally willing to come back, you go and prepare, I want to leave the palace!" ”
