Chapter 1 Chang'an

The eldest grandson and Wang Tietang went north on horseback and went to Xiangyang along the cement road they had paved.

This time, the way back was all by land, from Xiangyang to the northwest, along the Hanshui for a while, then turned to the northwest, from Wuguan through Shangzhou into the pass.

This road is the only way from Guanzhong to Jianghan and Jiangnan, and it is also a place where soldiers must fight.

The war that took place in Wuguan was no less than that of Hangu Pass, and the meaning of the four passes of Hangu Pass, Xiao Pass, Dasan Pass and Wuguan was taken from Guanzhong. As the ruling center of the Han and Tang dynasties, the Guanzhong region, Wuguan, as one of the four passes, can imagine its status.

At this time, Wuguan has been some years away from the history of Qin and Liu Bang's entry into the customs, but the city has obviously just been repaired, and the blue bricks and tiles are towering, guarding the gate of Guanzhong.

Shangzhou is not famous, but there is a celebrity who has close ties to this place.

As the founder of the Great Qin Empire, Wei Yingyin fief is here, usually we call it Shang Ying.

When passing through Shangzhou, Changsun Tang always thought about these questions in his heart, and he was destined to be a reformer, but some famous reformers did not seem to have a good end, such as Shang Ying, Wang Anshi, and Zhang Juzheng.

There is no doubt that Shang Ying was a great reformer who laid the foundation for the strength of the Qin state, but in the reform he offended the interests of the ruling class at the time, offended the crown prince, and ended up in a split up.

is good at seeking the country, and the phrase is seeking life, which is the Shang Ying.

Where do you go from here?

Li Shimin's mind is not a problem, but what about his successor?

Li Chengqian did not pass the test, and Li Zhi acquiesced in copying the eldest grandson's house, is this destined to be a misunderstanding?

I didn't dare to think about what to do before, but now I have to think about it.

The eldest grandson, who couldn't figure it out after thinking about it all the way, had already passed Lantian, and Chang'an City was in front of him.

When he saw Chang'an City again, Changsun Tang was still shocked by her grandeur.

There were a few white clouds hanging in the blue sky, and the towering towers were reflected in the moat.

People at the gate of the city entered and exited the city in an orderly manner, the middle gate was closed, the city gates on both sides entered and exited one by one, several guards watched the crowd in and out, the crowd called the entrance tax in an orderly manner, but there were no unruly soldiers to make it difficult for pedestrians to enter and exit.

It is now the seventh month of the fifth year of Zhenguan, and the great Li Er Majesty has basically screened the surrounding enemies except Goguryeo, and these people have only hidden in their own houses and shivered after giving the great Li Er Majesty the honorific title of "Heavenly Khan".

Last year and this year, with the exception of a few places, the whole country had a bumper harvest, a change from the season of annual disasters three years ago.

The scene of Zhenguan's rule has basically shown his demeanor.

After leaving for more than a year, the appearance of Chang'an has basically not changed, but there are more people in this market, and there are many more people of different races.

Chang'an is still that majestic appearance, which makes many people who see Chang'an City for the first time involuntarily let out a "Ah!" And the mouth that can't be closed anymore, the citizens next to him will glance at the soil bun with the eyes of the earthen bun.

returned to Chang'an City, and the eldest grandson first returned home.

Anyway, this Zhao Guogong Mansion is still his home, and this eldest grandson Wuji is still his father after all.

I met Fu Bo and Aunt Zhang first, and learned that Zhang Zhong and Wu Jiangdong had just come back for a short time, but at Wu Jiangdong's insistence, Fu Bo agreed to Wu Jiangdong's suggestion to open a tea shop in Xishi, but Wu Jiangdong and Zhang Zhong were busy with this matter these days.

After a short rest, the eldest grandson went to the eldest grandson Wuji's study.

It happened to be the day of rest, and the eldest grandson Wuji happened to be in the study.

"Master Liu, master, please come in." This time, Steward Zhang's attitude was very kind, and he invited the eldest grandson to come in with a smile on his face.

"Thank you." The eldest grandson really didn't have to worry about him.

"Don't dare!" Steward Zhang is also a good person, and his ability to make the rudder is not weak.

When the eldest grandson went in, the eldest grandson Wuji was buried behind the copywriting.

"Liu'er is back, you sit down for a while, and then I'll talk about it after I finish processing this official document."

"Yes." The eldest grandson Wuji stopped making a sound, and quietly looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, who was originally thirty-seven or eighteen years old, looked much older than he actually was at this time, and a few strands of gray hair appeared on his temples, and his body was fatter than when he set off, but his face was gloomy.

"It's hard work to get all the way back from Gangneung." After a while, the eldest grandson Wuji raised his head. The eldest grandson Wuji first asked about the situation on the road, no matter what, this eldest grandson is his son after all, and there are some things that a father can't say in his life, but when we understand these concerns, it may be too late.

"Fortunately, I've basically been here for more than a year." The eldest grandson has never been a father, so he can't understand the deep meaning here, maybe one day he will understand it when he recalls it.

"How's it been out there for more than a year? Anything interesting? ”

"Yes, a lot." It came to an abrupt halt without saying anything specific.

"Yes, there were a lot of interesting things when I followed His Majesty to the east and west in the past......" paused here, once the estrangement arises, it is not easy to bridge it.

"Oh, don't talk about that. Over the past year, you've gotten stronger and darker. The eldest grandson Wuji woke up from his contemplation, as a father, he hopes that his children will have a good life, but more importantly, the children will grow up healthy and safe.

"It's nothing." The eldest grandson blushed a little.

"I've suffered you all these years." The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly said this.

"It's fine." The eldest grandson didn't say much, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control his feelings, although he nominally had a rich and noble family, but the nominal father didn't see each other as many times in six years as his age. Home is not a house, but the loved ones who live in the house that make you care.

"I know everything about you, it's good." The eldest grandson, Wuji, changed the subject.

"It's not a big deal." Changsun Tang knew that these things could not be hidden from Changsun Wuji, as the big steward of this country, Changsun Wuji had his own way to know most of the things in this country.

"At the end of last year, after Wang Qi returned to Chang'an, he praised you fiercely in front of His Majesty, and he was originally going to make you the county's head." The eldest grandson Wuji said straight to the point.

"It's a bit too much." The eldest grandson has also seen a lot of things, and if he is really named the county this time, it will basically be equivalent to roasting him on the fire.

"It's nice for you to recognize that. The eldest grandson Wuji mentioned the eldest grandson Chong without a head.
