This way hurried and hurried, Yang Zhen and his party finally entered Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, before the gate was closed after dark. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Passing through the city gate that could accommodate three or five large cars, looking at the wide street in front of him and the people walking on the street through the open window, Yang Zhen couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that he came to Beijing again in this time and space hundreds of years ago.

In his previous life, he naturally came to Beijing, and also left footprints in the Forbidden City, the Great Wall and other places. It's just that everything in front of them is so unfamiliar, there are no high-rise buildings, and in their place are some shops on the street and houses hidden deep in the alleys - at this time, the imperial court has a clear decree that unless it is an official eunuch's house, the door of the residence is not allowed to open to the street; Without the panicked traffic jams of all sizes, there were still a lot of cars pulled by the cattle, but they couldn't block the wide streets.

After coming to this era, Yang Zhen lived in Jiangling, Wuchang, Hangzhou, and Zhuji for a while, but there was no place that made him feel as different as Beijing. After all, he had never visited or understood those four cities in his previous life, but he had lived in Beijing for two years. This feeling of returning to the old place, but not being able to find the scene in the memory at all, is really emotional.

"Perhaps, only the Forbidden City today is where I can find memories of the past. It's a pity that now it's impossible for me to spend money to go inside to relive my memories once......" Yang Zhen turned his thoughts in his heart a little strangely.

As for the other people around him, they had already attracted all their attention by the lively scene in front of them, and while they were amazed, saying that it was the capital in the end, it was not the same as others, and on the other hand, they felt a little strange in their hearts, and they didn't know how they would survive in this strange place.

Beijing, both at this time and in later generations, is the heart of the entire Chinese nation. This city has been established since the Western Zhou Dynasty, from the original Yan, Jixian, Youzhou all the way down to the Jurchen Jin people established the capital here, and the Mongolian Yuan established the capital here, it became the center of the world.

Then there is the king of Yan, that is, the later Ming Chengzu Zhu Di built Beiping City here, listened to the suggestion of Yao Guangxiao, the black-clothed prime minister, to build the appearance of today's Beijing city in the form of the god of eight-armed Nezha, and changed Beiping to Beijing in the first year of Yongle, and moved the capital here in the nineteenth year of Yongle.

It can be said that the city of Beijing has always watched as an important participant how the history of the Chinese nation has come to this day step by step. It has seen the continuous rise and decline of the Han people, and the rise and fall of countless nomadic peoples. And in the original history, it will also see the decline of the Ming Dynasty, the last dynasty of the Han nation, and the doves of the Manchus, another barbaric and ignorant, but fierce nomadic people, occupied the magpie's nest, and finally buried the advanced civilization of the entire Chinese nation.

In the process of the carriage continuing to move forward, Yang Zhen unconsciously remembered his brother's opinion when he told him about Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty: "The Son of Yongle is indeed admirable, not only swept the Mongolian border to the far north, and did not dare to look south for decades, but also set Beijing as the capital, so that the Son of Heaven guarded the country, thus ensuring the stability and prosperity of the south of the Ming Dynasty."

"None of the dynasties, including the China that followed, had the courage to put the Son of Heaven at the forefront of a strong enemy as the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention the fact that China was the capital of Beijing in later generations, after all, at that time, it was impossible for any nomads to threaten the people of the Thermal-Weapon Age. Let's just say that the Qing and Yuan dynasties, don't look at them, they must also be in Beijing, but in fact, they are here, just to facilitate the escape. Once the Han people became strong enough to destroy them, they would run back to the north. Mongolia is proud to survive until now, and the Qing Dynasty also made a puppet Manchurian after that. ”

In Yang Zhen's thoughts, the car finally stopped in front of a compound that covers an area of about one acre and has three entrances in front and back. A small servant who had been waiting outside the door early saw that his carriage had arrived, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Yo, Master Qian, are you back?" Can you bring a few masters today? ”

Qian Sizhong got out of the carriage first, and scolded with a smile: "Boy, you talk a lot, don't you see that this car is full of people?" ”

"Hey, it's true, look at these two small eyes, just like white. Little Jiqing, please say hello to a few uncles. As he spoke, the little guy fell to his knees very politely and kowtowed to everyone in the car.

"This ......" Tang Feng frowned obviously when he saw this situation: "Sizhong, where are you making trouble?" Not only did they prepare a place for us to live, but even their subordinates were prepared? ”

"Qianhu, this is all a little bit of my subordinate's heart, and I hope you don't dislike it." Qian Sizhong said with a smile: "Anyway, everything is in demand here in the capital, and there are plenty of people, so it's not bad to invite a few sensible people to serve you." Look at me, everyone is tired all the way, and they must be tired, so let's hurry in and drink tea and rest, but don't stand in front of the gate. I went to the kitchen to ask someone to prepare wine and food, and to wash the dust for a few brothers. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and motioned for them to come in.

Tang Feng saw him talking like this, and it was difficult to refuse for a while, after all, this house was rented by Qian Sizhong at his expense, and it was not too much for him to hire some miscellaneous servants. But at the same time, there was also a strange feeling in his heart, things here may not be as simple as they seem. But when it came to this, he couldn't refute the other party's arguments, so he had to nod and walk towards the door.

However, Deng Ting and Ma Feng didn't have so much thought, and when they saw that the house here was big and good, and there were people to serve them, they were so happy that their eyes narrowed into a line: "Yes, Sizhong, you are really enough brothers, then we will suffer from you." With that, he entered the gate grinning.

Although Yang Zhen's Wei Changdong also had reservations about this in general with Tang Feng, since they had all arrived, there was naturally no reason not to enter the door, so he followed everyone into the house.

This house looks huge from the outside, and it is even more smack-smacking when you enter it. Because whether it is the arrangement of the layout, or the treatment of the windows and cornices, etc., it is very ingenious, that is, their house in Hangzhou, which originally belonged to Anli, is also inferior to this.

At this time, Tang Feng felt even more weird: "Sizhong, this mansion is considered first-class even in the capital, I'm afraid it will cost you a lot to rent it, right?" ”

"It's fine. This kind of house is actually the private residence of officials, and if you really ask them to rent it, I am afraid that the rent will be hundreds of taels a month. But this house is the family of a servant of Zhishi who has been in the hands of our Jinyi Guard, and as soon as I say it, he is willing to rent it to me at a price of fifty taels a month. I rented him for two years at once......," Qian Sizhong hurriedly explained.

"I see." Tang Feng nodded slightly, and accepted the other party's statement. It's just that it is unknown whether he has other opinions in mind.

Anyway, Yang Zhen always felt a little uncomfortable looking at everything here, whether it was the environment or those subordinates who saluted them respectfully. After all, they are newcomers, and they also have a holiday with some of the people who are in charge of the Jinyi Guard, who knows if there are any Liu Shou among the people here who have their eyes and ears.

However, no matter whether there were people around them staring at them, at least in the short term, it would be impossible for Yang Zhen to leave here. They don't have anything to fear from being watched on now, as long as they protect themselves. So when Qian Sizhong arranged a banquet for them and washed the dust for them, everyone let go of their arms, ate and drank well, and then found a room and fell asleep.

It was already evening when they entered the city today, so it was naturally impossible for them to report to the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division, so everything would be left to tomorrow after they got up.

The night is getting deeper, and many people have fallen asleep, but Liu Shouyou, the commander of Jinyiwei, has no intention of falling asleep at this moment, he just got a news that Tang Feng and they finally came to Beijing, and Qian Sizhong settled down.

The person who reported the incident was a man in his thirties who looked very ordinary. This person is Liu Shouyou's henchman who is in charge of investigating all the secret agent affairs in the capital, named Cheng Xiang, who is attached to hundreds of households in Jinyiwei, but his status is not lower than that of ordinary thousand households. I saw that after he finished saying this, he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and in Liu Shouyou's eyes, he smiled: "Cheng Xiang, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"Yes. It's just a wonder why the adults are arranging it this way. You can ask Qian Sizhong to approach them, but there is really no need for him to do things so wrong. As long as they look at the house he prepared and the envoys inside, I'm afraid that Tang Feng and they will suspect that he has other intentions. After Cheng Xiang said this, he glanced at Liu Shouyou with some apprehension. My family has never been a broad-minded person, and sometimes if you say the wrong thing, you may get into trouble.

But this time, Liu Shouyou didn't look dissatisfied, but smiled: "This is exactly what I want them to see." Now that they have come to Beijing, they are not afraid that they will be able to turn against the sky. Only by letting them know that everything is under the control of the official can I subdue them more quickly, so as to complete the matter of Feng Gong's substitution. And ......" he said, his eyes narrowed: "Although this Qian Sizhong has already joined my disciple, I am still a little uneasy about him, and this is also a good opportunity to test him." Only by making him suspicious of Tang Feng and the others can he be completely used by me. ”

"I see, this is a subordinate who is ignorant and fails to understand the intentions of the adults." Cheng Xiang hurriedly flattered.

"Hehe, you, it's okay, but some things are not far-reaching enough." Liu Shouyou was very satisfied with his attitude, said with a smile, and then ordered: "But you have to keep an eye on the situation over there, don't let them escape our eyes and ears." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will not disappoint my lord!"
