In the autumn season, Chen Zhen was going to leave Chu on this day, and no one was sent off, and people went to tea and cooled to say that it was such a scene, Chen Zhen sat in a cart drawn by two horses and went towards the entrance and exit of Yingdu City Gate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Son of Heaven drove six, the princes drove five, the Qing drove four, the doctor three, the scholar two and the concubine one.

Chen Zhen was originally a guest secretary of Chu State, and according to etiquette, the chariot he rode should be equipped with the treatment of four horses, but now that he is resigning, Chen Zhen can only be regarded as a celebrity, and according to etiquette, he can only sit on two horses, otherwise it is overstepping.

At this moment, when it was dawn and dawn, Chen Zhen, who was sitting in an old car, came to the gate of Yingdu City, and Yingdu Long Street was already a crowd of pedestrians, cars and horses early, basically waiting to open the city gate and leave the city.

With so many people waiting to leave the city so early, which was extremely rare in normal times, Chen Zhen found that most of them were not Chu people, but mostly merchants and guests from various countries.

"The gates are finally open!"

The gate slowly opened, and the people in the city rushed out, and the attendants on the carriage drove the horses with whips, and Chen Zhen also went out of Yingdu with the crowd of people.

As soon as they left the city, they began to talk about it, especially the merchants.

"Chu State can't stay!"

"Yes, right now, the king of Chu has announced that the country will attack Qin, and the entire Yingdu is panicking."

"Qin and Chu have a feud, a big war is imminent, how can Chu be the opponent of Qin?"

"Seeing that there is going to be a war, I'd better go first!"

"That's not necessarily, the state of Chu may not be able to fight Qin, it's just that the king of Chu ordered the whole country to attack Qin, but he has to increase taxes, others don't know that I can't do this business in Yingdu anyway, why don't you go?"

"Reasonable!"

"Hey, brother, where are you going to make a career?"

"Defend the country, I heard that businessmen who do business in Weiguo can make a lot of money, and they have long wanted to go to Chaoge, so this time I will enter Weiguo to take a look, and I want to open an inn in Chaoge."

"Also, only the country can go to the Central Plains, and after the defeat of the Three Jin Dynasty, the borders have been blocked, except for the Central Plains."

Chen Zhen, who heard passers-by talking, sighed in his heart, the state of Chu was in danger.

The news of King Chu Huai's declaration of war on the Qin State was announced, and the situation between the government and the opposition became tense, not only did the number of people from all over the world leave Yingdu every day in the past few days, but the number of merchants entering the Chu State was greatly reduced, and the officials and officials who liked to enjoy the night were also afraid to visit guests easily because of the tense situation between the government and the opposition at the moment.

It's only been a few days, and Yingdu has begun to show signs of depression.

Chen Zhen finally left the Chu State, the King of Chu Huai did not ask him to blame, and Qu Yuan did not detain him, looking back at Yingdu with a leisurely sigh in his heart, he no longer had any intention of remembering Chu, and since then he has embarked on the road to the Central Plains in the north.

As Chen Zhen, a native of Qi State, King Qi Wei reigned in the current affairs of Qi State, then entered Qin State, and finally entered Chu State, but he didn't think of being an official in the temple of the three great powers today, but none of them was his good end.

In the past, when he went south from Xianyang, he was full of ambition, and he thought that he could show his ambitions in the Chu State, but he didn't expect to fall to such a point, Chen Zhen was indeed a little disheartened, and when he left Chu, he had the intention of retreating.

As the saying goes, the villain seeks his life, the gentleman seeks the country, and the husband seeks the world, and he has been running around for decades without ambition, but he has a heart to retreat, a strategist, and dominates the world, but the world only knows that there are Zhang Yi and Gongsun Yan and does not know Chen Zhen's genius, but he secretly sighs and does not treat me, and the sad husband is also!

Chen Zhen, who went all the way north to the Central Plains, pondered the reason for his disambition in the Chu State, thinking about it for a while, and no matter how much he thought about it, he could only sigh in the end.

The current king of Chu State makes Chen Zhen not know what to say, moody, lustful and greedy, sometimes suddenly smart and decisive, Shengming is like the lord of the world, sometimes he is deaf and dark-eyed, confused, so annoyed and ashamed, he does not hesitate to gamble on the fortune of the country to destroy Qin.

The lord of a country does not hesitate to gamble on the country for the sake of personal anger, how absurd!

This is a rare monarch through the ages, King Chu Huai can be said to be a faint monarch, or he can be said to be a mediocre lord, but he cannot be said to be a tyrant, although he is moody and sometimes angry, but he rarely kills his courtiers wantonly because of annoyance.

Chen Zhen sighed at this, and was also a little crying and laughing.

even felt that the monarchs and ministers of the Chu court were all extremely grotesque people, Zuo Tu Yuan had a sincere heart for the Chu State, and he was also a fierce bigot person who was rare to see in a thousand years, hating to death, and love to death, so upright that Chen Zhen felt too pedantic, and there was no room for maneuver at all; King Chu Huai's favorite concubine, Zheng Sleeve, is smart but extremely jealous; Although Zhaoyang Ling is calm, it lacks some strong and wise people, and a generation of Ling Yin, who is in charge of national politics, can neither affect Qu Yuan nor King Chu Huai.

In the face of such chaos in the temples of Chu State, Chen Zhen, as a foreign guest, can be said to be walking on thin ice, all the way north, thinking about it and thinking about it, in the end he couldn't think of a reason, and finally had to change to a long sigh: "Providence is like this, Chu State is not a place for me." ”

Leaving Yingdu, Chen Zhen, who went north to the Central Plains, passed through Nanyang County, and finally passed through the northern border city of Chu "Yangxia" and entered Daliang City, and finally continued to go north for another three days to successfully pass through Suxukou and arrive at the core of the Weiguo north of the Yellow River.

Chaoge is already in sight.

"Sir, look, there's Chaoge ahead!" This day was the seventh day after Chen Zhen left Yingdu, and he finally came to the realm of Chaoge all the way.

Chen Zhen, who was reminded by his entourage in the car, immediately looked ahead, and a magnificent city wall in front of him came into view.

"This is the song of the court...... It is rumored that the lord of the country ordered the capital to be rebuilt in the old capital, and he is well versed in the Fuxi gossip array, and now it seems that the rumors are true. Chen Zhen said secretly in his heart.

After a while, after the car passed through a bumpy road, he found a different feeling, that is, it was no longer bumpy, and the car walked on the wild road with a feeling that there was no difference compared to the long street in Yingdu, and he looked at the road while he was stunned.

This road is obviously not walked by humans and animals, but deliberately built by someone, and it is unusually straight and extended to go straight to Chaoge.

Chen Zhen was shocked in his heart, and he knew very well that such a straight road was not only comfortable and convenient for people and vehicles to pass, but also that if there was a war, it would be of great benefit to the deployment of troops and generals to help the battlefield, and the transportation of grain, grass and baggage would also be more effective.

"Wei Hou has such insight, it's not simple!" Chen Zhen said secretly in his heart.

There are two straight roads in the north and south under the song of the song, all the way north to connect the casting heavy city of Dangyin, and go directly to Ningxinzhong, stop at Hengshui, and then go north for more than ten miles is the territory of Zhao State, this until about one hundred and fifteen miles, now it has been dredged to Dangyin, and continue to build towards Ningxinzhong.

The other is Chen Zhenmu walking in one of them, from Chaoge south to Suxukou, and finally in the south of the Yellow River began to go towards the eastern Pingyang City, now has dredged the second largest city of the Weiguo Puyang City, and continue to build eastward, the end point is the Chengyang City in the east of the Weiguo, with a total length of more than 200 miles.

Wei Zheng has a clear decree on the use of straight roads, military control in wartime, and civilian use in non-war times, especially this straight road in the south, which undoubtedly increases the economic exchanges and interactions between Hedong and Hexi.

There is a rumor among the people of the country: strengthen the country and enrich the people, and build a straight road.

It is rumored that this was said by Wei Zheng, but no one confirmed it.

The folk call these two straight roads "official roads", Chen Zhen was surprised to find that since leaving the bumpy sheep intestine path and entering the "official road", you can meet pedestrians from time to time along the way.

Looking at the meteorological geometry of a country is to observe the people's feelings and public opinion of the country, Chen Zhen is also a great talent, and his observation is subtle, just what he saw and heard along the way surprised him.

Chaoge City is already close in front of him, Chen Zhen looked at the city wall less than two hundred steps away in front of him, and now the city gate has taken the lead in supervising the completion, at this moment the city gate is wide open, but the two sides are still building high walls, after passing through the city gate, the internal scene comes into view, and countless people are building on this desolate land.

The exposed foundation can be seen at a glance, Chen Zhen thought that this was a big construction project for the pleasure of Wei Hou, but when he was not bad, he found that this was not the case, and from the scale of the foundation, he could find that he would never build a luxurious palace, which means that this is an ordinary house built for the people, which shows the vigorous breath of Chaoge City.

When Chen Zhen looked ahead, there was another high wall, which should be the original outer wall, and now it seems that it will not be long before it will become an inner wall.

In this situation, Chen Zhen looked at the surrounding scene, and saw that everything he saw was just like the meaning of the name of Chaoge City.

has not entered the city, but has been yearning for the inner city of Chaoge. has not faced you, but she has admired it even more!
