Chapter 9 Emperor Yang of Sui? No, Emperor Ming of Sui
A few days later, inside the city of Chang'an. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the scorching sun was in the sky, and the clouds seemed to be burned, and there was no trace in sight. The ground inside the city was steaming hot, and the surrounding trees stood listlessly. The breeze does not bring a trace of coolness, but makes people more anxious.
Even so, Suzaku Street is still full of people, and it is not lively. There are people dressed in cloth clothes, there are people in brocade clothes, and there are many people with high noses and deep eyes. One by one, people constitute the various states of Chang'an City, highlighting the prosperity of the imperial capital.
On the street, a little fat man of five or six years old led a little girl with a bun and looked east and west on the street. The little girl looked a little timid, but her curious eyes kept looking around. A group of entourages behind them were also immersed in the shock of Chang'an City, looking like turtles who had never seen the world.
"Lang Jun, the place where we are now is called Suzaku Street, which is fifty zhang wide, connecting the Chengtian Gate of the palace city, the Suzaku Gate of the imperial city and the Mingde Gate of the outer city, which just divides Chang'an City into two parts, the east is Wannian County, and the west is Chang'an County. There is a city in the east and west, called the east and west markets.
There are 11 main streets in the north and south and 14 main streets in the east and west, dividing the residential area into 110 squares. Wang Xiong can be said to know Chang'an best, and I heard him say that he had been to Yan Yan's father before. At this time, he was beside Lu Kang, giving him a detailed introduction to the structure of Chang'an City, and the tone and tone had the potential to be a tour guide.
"It's really rigorous and atmospheric, is this the Chang'an City left by the Han?" Lu Kang is indeed quite shocking, and it is difficult for later generations to have such a rigorous layout and majestic city. Although Jiangnan has developed to a certain extent, it is still too far behind Chang'an, one of the world's leading giant cities, so as soon as Lu Kang entered Chang'an, he looked like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
"No, today's Chang'an City is the new capital built by Emperor Wen of the former Sui Dynasty in the south of Longshou Plateau in the southeast of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty, and the new capital is named 'Daxing City'. Yu Wenkai presided over the planning and construction, first built Daxing Palace City, and then built the Imperial City.
After Emperor Ming ascended the throne, he built the Tongji Canal Canal from Daxing to Jiangdu. In the ninth year of the great cause, more than 100,000 people were mobilized to build Guocheng outside Daxing City, and the overall pattern of Daxing City was formed. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed Chang'an City. Today's Chang'an City is more than twice as large as in the Western Han Dynasty. ”
"Oh, I didn't expect Chang'an to have this history, Uncle Wang knows a lot. But... Who is Emperor Ming? ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Kang found that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, as if they didn't know that Emperor Ming was a very abnormal thing, and even the little girl beside him looked at him with curiosity.
Suzaku Street is one hundred and fifty meters wide, and a group of fifty or sixty people can't affect the traffic, so Lu Kang simply stopped and figured out what was going on with Emperor Ming first.
Wang Xiong's original smile froze on his face, revealing a wry smile, and said:
"Lang Jun is still young, and it is common not to know. Emperor Ming is the second son of Emperor Wen of the former Sui Dynasty and Empress Wenwen, and was named Emperor Shizu Ming for his exploits such as moving the capital to Luoyang, building the Grand Canal, unifying the north and south, destroying Tuguhun, conquering Liuqiu, and conquering Goguryeo three times."
"But... The person you're talking about is Emperor Yang of Sui. And... And isn't Emperor Yang a tyrant? Lu Kang looked bitter, he saw in his history books that Yang Guangke was Emperor Yang of Sui, how could he become Emperor Ming of Sui. Could it be that this little butterfly that crossed over instigated its wings and changed history?
"Emperor Yang is the name of Li Tang, and the real nickname is Emperor Ming. Although Emperor Ming was impatient by nature, abused the people's power, and rejoiced in his achievements, he had his indelible contributions after all. The deceased is gone, and most of the people in the world call him Emperor Ming. ”
"Oh... Is that so? ”
"Lang Jun, what Wang Xiong said is indeed true. When Emperor Ming pacified the south of the Yangtze River, he did not commit any offense to the people, and he took nothing from the assets of the Chen Dynasty's treasury, and won the love of the southerners. Later, he learned the Jiangnan dialect, married his wife, got close to the students of Jiangnan, eliminated the gap between the north and the south since the Wuhu Rebellion, and built the Grand Canal to connect the north and the south.
Ah Lang also said that if Emperor Ming can keep his light and maintain obscurity, he will not be in a hurry for quick success. With the talent of Emperor Ming, supplemented by virtuous ministers, he will be able to build the foundation of a hundred generations, and he will not die in the hands of others, and laugh for the world.
Perhaps the north regarded Emperor Ming as a tyrant, but the Jiangnan region was grateful for his kindness and regarded it as Emperor Ming. Fu Bo also stepped forward at this time and explained to Lu Kang.
Well, Lu Kang admits that he is self-inflicted. It's right to think about it, for the people of Jiangnan, such an emperor who "doesn't take a stitch from the masses", "goes deep into the grassroots", and "wants to get rich, build roads first", can he not be a Ming Jun?
Even the little girl beside Lu Kang nodded again and again, looking like she understood. Lu Kang asked with some curiosity: "Yan'er, do you also know Emperor Ming?" ”
"Of course, Uncle Wang told me the story of Emperor Ming before, Emperor Ming expanded the territory and unified the north and south, he was a great hero, and those who committed rebellion were all rebellious ministers and thieves... Woo woo" Speaking of the back, everyone's faces changed, and Wang Xiong directly covered her mouth.
"The little lady is not sensible, how can there be any trouble. At that time, Ah Lang had a great relationship with Emperor Ming, so the old slave told the lady some stories about Emperor Ming, but I didn't expect the lady to remember it so clearly. Huh..."
Wang Xiong's face is full of embarrassment now, can this thing talk nonsense? In Chang'an, it is not a big deal to praise Yang Guang's contribution or call him Emperor Ming, after all, the Tang Dynasty was brought over by the Sui Dynasty. But if everyone else is a rebel and a thief, then this is a taboo. Fortunately, there are people from Lu Kang all around, and they are all Jiangnan people who have a good impression of Yang Guang. Everyone also looked elsewhere with interest, as if Yan Yan hadn't heard anything he said.
"Ahem... Yan'er, this is Chang'an, and I can't say this kind of thing anymore in the future. Be cautious... "Lu Kang didn't care what entanglement they had with the Sui Dynasty, and looked at Yan Yan with a straight face. He didn't want his daughter-in-law, who had been found so hard, to lose her life because she said the wrong thing.
"Why can't you say that? Isn't that so? Yan'er said something wrong. Yan Yan pouted, looking aggrieved, insisting on her thoughts. This is very similar to Yang Yanyan, as long as she thinks it is right, she will be very opinionated, unless you can convince her, it is useless to say anything. But this is the true temperament, and it is also one of the reasons why Lu Kang likes "them".
"It's hot! Let's go to our new home early. Everyone is tired, go back and get some rest. Lu Kang pretended to wipe his sweat, ignored Yan Yan's aggrieved eyes, and changed the topic and said. He didn't want to dwell too much on this issue, she would naturally understand these truths later, and it was useless to talk about them now.
"Oh" Yan Yan agreed, her face full of unhappiness.
"Yankang Fang, where my new home is located, is near the West Market, and I heard that there are a lot of delicious foods and a lot of strange things in the West Market. I'll take you around after a break, okay? Lu Kang had no choice but to use other things to make her happy.
The effect is still obvious, after all, Yan Yan is still just a child, and she was instantly distracted by delicious and fun food, and she smiled.
