At this time, it was not long before dawn, as soon as the gate of Luoyang was opened, a large number of merchants waiting to enter the city for trading entered the city with the peasants who rushed to the morning market.

Li Yin and Li Jiancheng and others mixed in the crowd, entered the city through the south gate, after they agreed yesterday, Li Yin saw that it was getting late, so he left Li Jiancheng and others to stay in the village, and now they have returned to Luoyang.

The scale of Luoyang is not better than the general small city, only the south city gate has three gates, the middle city gate is called Jianguo Gate, the left is the White Tiger Gate, the right is the Changxia Gate, the model system is magnificent.

Although Li Yin has been in this world for more than two years, and he lives in the suburbs of Luoyang, he is ashamed to say that it is the first time he has entered Luoyang City.

As soon as he entered the city gate, Li Yin, who had just arrived in your realm, suddenly opened his eyes.

I saw the "Heavenly Street", a street with a width of 100 steps and a run through the north and south gates, which stretched straight in front of me, and I was afraid that it would not be seven or eight miles long.

Cherries, pomegranates, elms, willows and other trees are planted all over the street, and the middle is the imperial road for the emperor to go out on patrol, if it is in the middle of summer, it must be peach and willow green, the scenery is picturesque, and it is beautiful.

There are many shops on both sides of the avenue, and between the lanes, each has its own road, and the vertical and horizontal ten streets that run through the major city gates are staggered, and it is orderly.

Li Jiancheng is naturally very familiar with this Luoyang, and after he saw Li Yin's large number of interested places, he smiled and said: "Luoyang has two major characteristics, you must know it." ”

Li Yin asked him for advice with great interest.

Li Jiancheng said: "First of all, it is to take the north and south as the central axis, let Luoshui traverse the whole city, divide Luoyang into two districts in the north and south, and connect it with four bridges, and Luoshui in the city is connected with other Yi, Qian, and Jian three waters, so that the river in the city lingers, and the beauty of the landscape is moved to the city, giving people a sense of heaven and earth." ”

At this moment, a strange scene suddenly appeared ahead, a sailboat sailed past the Luoshui hidden under the house, and from their point of view, only the top of the sail moved, as if it were a land boat.

Li Yin said: "I know that the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are not uncommon to lead the water of the rivers and lakes through the city, but they are rarely as wide and deep and straight as Luoshui, which makes Luoyang have a strict and tuned atmosphere, and the scale of this city is of course not comparable to that of water towns." What's the other feature? ”

By this time, the sky was completely white, and there were more people and cars on the street.

From time to time, there are a team of guards with bright armor on the royal road, doing morning drills, so that this beautiful imperial city adds a fierce momentum.

Li Jiancheng continued: "Another feature is that outside the west wall of Waiguo City, because of its natural environment, the West Garden is set up, west to Xin'an, north to Pishan, south to Yique Mountains, more than 200 miles around, comparable to the Shanglin Garden of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in ancient times, Waiguo City and Xiyuan are connected together, making Luoyang more large-scale. ”

They had been walking along the street, and by this time they had reached the south bank of Luoshui.

Li Jiancheng pointed to the bridge across Luoshui and connecting the north and south: "This is called Tianjin Bridge, you see that it is so large, it is said that it was caused by tens of thousands of talents. ”

Li Yin walked to the bridge, look around, this Luoyang City is worthy of being the capital of the Great Sui Emperor, the end is extremely prosperous, it is said that in order to make Luoyang have the fact of the capital, when Luoyang City was built, Yang Guang moved tens of thousands of wealthy merchants from all over the country, and placed more than 3,000 craft households in Henan to live in the 12 squares on the south bank of the Luohe River in the southeast corner of Guocheng, so there is this weather in front of him.

"It's just that the city is prosperous now, how long can it be maintained?" Li Yin silently thought in his heart that Yang Guang was going to conquer Goryeo, and this world was not far from chaos.

"The northeast of Jinqiao is in the west of Douting, and it is poetic and fascinating to come; Meiyue was born in the late goddess Pu, and her face was in the spring and her face was in the middle of the year; The willow silk curls out in the wind, and the grass wisps are fluffy and the rain is cut evenly; The report is precursed by less shouting, and the frightened yellow bird does not cry; ”

Li Yin and Li Jiancheng walked down the Tianjin Bridge in the clear singing of the boatgirl's daughter under the Tianjin Bridge.

The Tang State Mansion is located at the end of Luoshui in the city, northwest of the outer Guo City, because it is adjacent to the magnificent East Imperial Palace, so all the people who live here are the dignitaries and nobles of the dynasty.

As soon as Li Yin and Li Jiancheng walked to the gate of the Tang State Mansion, they saw an eight or nine-year-old boy leading a pony out of it.

"Big brother, why are you only coming back now, do you want to go hunting with me?" The boy said to Li Jiancheng that he had ridden the pony.

Li Jiancheng said with a smile: "Yuanji, come over and see your brother Li Yin." "That boy is Li Yuanji, the fourth son born to Li Yuan and Dou.

Li Yuanji glanced at Li Yin and asked, "Is his mother the same person as our mother?" Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, and replied no, Li Yuanji immediately said with a lack of interest: "Then it's just a concubine, what's so good to see, I went hunting with someone!" ”

After Li Yuanji finished speaking, he waved his horsewhip and galloped away.

Li Jiancheng looked a little embarrassed and said to Li Yin: "Yuanji is still young, don't be like him." Li Yin shook his head and didn't say anything.

After Li Jiancheng took Li Yin into the door, he found that the usually lively Guogong Mansion was now full of people, and he had obviously called someone to come back in advance and order, so that everyone could come and greet Li Yin.

After finally seeing a steward in the mansion, Li Jiancheng hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Dou, where have all the people in the mansion gone?" ”

Steward Dou replied: "Madame went to the White Horse Temple to offer incense, and everyone else followed." ”

Li Jiancheng suddenly turned his head and explained to Li Yin: "My mother believes in Buddhism very much, so she will go to the White Horse Temple every once in a while to make incense and make vows. ”

After that, Li Jiancheng took Li Yin to the west side of the courtyard, saying that this is the place where Li Yin lives in the future, Li Yin saw that the houses in this side courtyard are carved beams and painted columns, and the decorations are very exquisite, full of luxury, and his heart is quite satisfied.

As soon as Li Jiancheng arranged Li Yin, the Dou steward he had seen before hurriedly walked over, "Eldest son, Madame is back, and I will ask you to come to her." ”

Li Jiancheng hurriedly said to Li Yin: "Then I'll go over, you take a look around first to familiarize yourself with the environment." When he had finished speaking, he hurried away.

Li Yin was thinking about walking casually, but found that the Dou steward was still standing there and not leaving, and he was looking at him with an unkind face.

"What, something?" Li Yin opened his mouth and asked him.

Steward Dou laughed, "It's nothing, I just think you don't deserve to live in such a good place, and I want to ask you to move the nest." ”

Li Yin laughed, "Then where do you think I should live?" ”

Steward Dou stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction, "There is a firewood room there, I think it is quite suitable for you to live." ”

Li Yin snorted coldly, "What if I don't go?" ”

Steward Dou clapped three times, and it seemed that the five sturdy men who had been waiting outside the courtyard immediately rushed in with a fierce momentum, "Since you don't want to go, then we can only invite you to go, give it to me!" ”

With Steward Dou's order, the five big men waved their fists and struck at Li Yin. Li Yin did not avoid the counterattack, and then hit a big man closest to him with his shoulder, and the big man was caught off guard and was immediately knocked away by Li Yin.

At this time, there were already two big men waving their fists one left and one right, slamming into Li Yin's cheeks. Li Yin stood still with his feet, and when he saw that the enemy's fist was about to hit him, his body leaned back, and then he quickly attacked with both hands, hitting the ribs of the two big men, and the two big men instantly fell to the ground in pain and wailed.

The remaining two big men saw that Li Yin had knocked down his three companions in three or two strokes, and they already had a little fear in their hearts, but they thought that if they retreated in front of Steward Dou, they were afraid that they would be driven out of the national mansion afterwards, so the two of them shouted and rushed towards Li Yin.

With the size of these two big men, if Li Yin was hit by them like this, not only would he have to break a few bones, but he would probably have to lie on the bed for ten days and a half months.

How could Li Yin let them bump into themselves? When the two men were about to hit him, he rolled forward on the spot, and instantly avoided it, only to hear "Bang! The two big men collided with each other, and under the huge impact, both of their shoulders were dislocated, and old tears flowed out of pain.

After Li Yin effortlessly eliminated the five big men, he sneered and walked towards Steward Dou.

Steward Dou took a few steps back in fear, "You...... What are you doing? I'm a distant cousin of the Duchess! ”

"I don't care who you are." Li Yin said, and lifted the thin Dou Steward up, so frightened that the Dou Steward screamed a few times, shouting for mercy, Li Yin said again: "Don't mess with me again in the future, otherwise I will never spare you!" ”

After Li Yin finished speaking, he threw Steward Dou forward, and after Steward Dou fell to the ground, he got up with a bitter face for a long time, pointed at Li Yin and shouted: "You kid wait for me, Madam won't let you go like this!" ”

After he put down his cruel words, he limped away with the five big men, Li Yin shrugged his shoulders and didn't take his words to heart.

……

In the Great Sui Palace, Yang Guanggang and the imperial historian Pei Yun finished discussing important matters, Yang Guang stroked his head and said a little tiredly: "If there is nothing to do, you can go down." ”

Pei Yun didn't retreat immediately, and said: "In the past two days in Luoyang City, there is a song that has spread very widely......

"What ballad?" Yang Guang frowned and asked.

Pei Yun said: "Henan Yangliu Xie, Hebei Li Huarong." Where did Yang Hua fly and land? Plum blossoms are strong and natural. ”

"What a guts!" Yang Guang slapped the table and stood up. "Your Majesty is angry!" Pei Yun and the eunuchs and palace maids around him knelt on the ground in unison.

After pacing back and forth for a while, Yang Guang said to Pei Yun: "Although I am immortal and not afraid of any incursion, but when such rhetoric comes out, it is obvious that someone has bad intentions and wants to demagogue, you go and find out this matter to me!" ”

"Yes, for the sake of the minister!" Pei Yun replied.

Yang Guang pondered for a while, and then asked: "Those surnamed Li, have anyone behaved abnormally in the past two days?" ”

The Li family is the top force in the nobles of Longxi, since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the family is prominent, there are many officials in the court, now there are several national dukes alone, and there are many important positions in the court.
