Chapter 150: The City of Nanjing, Liao

Yue Li finished telling the story, Wang listened with relish, let's write this is simple, but let Yue Li talk about the sound and color, it made Wang Pan feel like listening to a novel,

The king listened and pondered, it is natural for this Yeluzong to really be the emperor, but Yeluzong is really a little too childish to take the throne; Yelu Zongyuan should also be deserved, his merit and loyalty are indeed unparalleled; According to the succession to the throne, Yelu Hongji is not wrong, but things in the world are according to an old saying: if you are not afraid of no good things, you are afraid of no good people.

The key to all the questions is in Yelu Hongxiao, the son of Yelu Zongzhen, Wang Bi suddenly found that this person is still quite similar to Zhao Shu, and he is eyeing the throne that does not belong to him in the first place, but it is possible to achieve it.

Yue Li finally told the story of Yelu Zongzhen, Yelu Zongyuan, and Yelu Hongji, and he also felt dry mouth, drank a big sip of wine and asked, "If not, can you think of a way." ”

Wang Bian pondered for a while, the way is not nothing, the easiest way to get rid of this relationship is to let the impeacher leave Yelu Zongyuan, so that he will definitely not be implicated, but whether the impeacher is willing, not to mention that Yelu Zongyuan wants to rebel, if he chooses to celebrate the New Year of the Queen Mother, I am afraid it will still be difficult to escape this civil strife,

He saw that Yue Li did know a lot about the Liao State, so he asked: "Brother Yue, I still have two questions, how many soldiers and horses does Yelu Zongyuan have, and, according to your estimates, will Yelu Zongyuan take advantage of the empress dowager's birthday to rebel." ”

Yue Li tilted his head and thought about it, then shook his head again, to be honest, the first question was easy to answer, and the second question was a little unavoidable: "As far as I know, Yelu Zongyuan now has more than 400,000 soldiers and horses, as for the second question, it seems that it is not very likely. ”

"Oh, 400,000 soldiers." Wang Bi suddenly remembered that in Jin Daxia's book, when Uncle Huang rebelled, he seemed to be known as an army of 800,000, "Tell me why it's impossible." "The king simply asked the bottom of the matter,

Yue Li frowned: "If there is no brother, how does this Liao Kingdom seem to be a close marriage, you see, the current Queen Mother is Xiao Tartli, and his father is the younger brother of Queen Xiao Yunjin, Queen Xiao Yunjin, you know, it is the mother of Yelu Zongzhen and Yelu Zongyuan, that is to say, the current Queen Mother is the cousin of Yelu Zongyuan and Yelu Zongzhen, right." ”

Wang Jian listened to it messy enough, it turned out that Yelu Hongji was the product of the combination of Yelu Zongzhen and his uncle's cousin, can this child be smart, Wang Jian couldn't help but put a question mark in his heart,

He listened to Yue Li continue: "My cousin is the empress dowager, do you think Yelu Zongyuan will raise troops at this time?" ”

Wang Jian laughed out loud when he heard this, he didn't laugh at anything else, he laughed at Yue Li's strength just now, and he didn't seem to be unwilling, Wang Jian smiled and said: "Okay, let's not care about his cousin and cousin, Brother Yue don't worry, as long as I arrive in the Liao country, be careful, by the way, I will leave for the border tomorrow, whether there is anyone to answer." ”

Yue Li was stunned by the king's question: "Who answered." ”

When Wang saw Yue Li's expression, he knew that he didn't have it: "Oh, when I went to Western Xia, Western Xia sent an envoy to Yanzhou to answer him. ”

Yue Li pouted and shook his head: "Hey, Xixia is inviting you to go, they urgently need to solve their problems; No one in the Liao country can pick up, the people of the Liao country are very arrogant, and they also call themselves the great Liao country, I remember, you must pay attention to this time, even if there is no civil strife, you must not lose the ambition of our Great Song Kingdom, if you let the Liao people suppress the momentum, it is estimated that someone will impeach you when you come back. ”

This is something that Wang Fang didn't expect and didn't worry about: "Haha, when did Brother Yue see me lose my momentum." ”

Yue Li smiled: "It's really not, come, I wish my brother a smooth trip." As he spoke, the two raised their glasses and drank bitterly,

Wang Bian set off again, about to leave the border of Song Liao, Yue Li sent Wang Bian to the border guard station, only to see the team next to Wang go away,

The first stop of the group into the territory of the Liao State is the Liao State's companion capital Nanjing Xijin Mansion, as soon as they entered the Xijin Mansion, the king immediately went to the imperial city, handed over the invitation card sent by the Liao State and his own customs clearance documents, not much effort, came to a Liao State minister to receive them, and then arranged a place for them to live, and sent the Liao State guards to escort the congratulatory gifts,

Now the king is relieved, he wants to stay in this Nanjing city for two more days, take a good look at the place where he was alive, and after finishing his business, the king called Shang Zhe Kejun and others, and traveled with himself in civilian clothes, he finally saw where his previous life was, at this moment how he hoped that the moon was by his side, let him tell the moon well,

The Liao State Nanjing City (Xijin Mansion) in front of the territory is 36 miles, the city wall is three zhang high, one zhang and five feet wide, there are eight city gates: the east is the Andong Gate, the Yingchun Gate (the former site of the Andong Gate of Yanjing City in the Liao Dynasty, in the west of the Caishikou, there is the old wall root alley nearby, it is the site of the east city wall of Yanjing City in the Liao Dynasty),

The south is Danfeng Gate, Kaiyang Gate (there is an intersection between You'anmen Inner Street and Baizhifang West Street and East Street, in the northwest corner of the crossroads, next to the railing, there is a stone tablet, which is engraved with several big characters: "Liao Kaiyangmen site", Kaiyangmen is facing Gongchen Gate, and now You'anmen Inner Street is a part of Kaiyangmen to Gongchenmen Avenue in that year,)

The west is the Qing Jin Gate, the West Gate; The north is the gate of heaven and the gate of Gongchen

The imperial city of the sub-city of "Xijin Mansion" in Nanjing, Liaoning: the location is biased to the southwest corner, sharing the west gate and south gate with the big city, the sub-city is mainly the palace area and the royal garden area, the location of the palace area is biased to the east of the sub-city, and protrudes to the south beyond the city wall of the sub-city.

The south is the south gate, the east is the left gate (later renamed Wanchun gate), the west is the right gate (later renamed the Qianqiu gate),

The east side of the palace area is the South Fruit Park, the west side is the Yaochi Palace Garden District, the palace garden is larger, there is a small island Yaoyu in the Yaochi Pond, there is the Yaochi Palace, and there is the royal mansion next to the pool.

Due to the location of the sub-city in the southwest, there are only two trunk roads that run through the whole city in the city, one is the east-west trunk road, the name of Danzhou Street, which connects the Qing Jin Gate and the Anton Gate, which is the predecessor of the inner and outer streets of Guang'anmen; One is the north-south trunk road, connecting the Gongchen Gate and the Kaiyang Gate, which is roughly equivalent to the southern section of today's downtown street, Changchun Street, Niu Street and the northern section of You'anmen Inner Street, and the other two main roads can only be terminated from the city gate to the sub-city, in addition to the main road, there are secondary roads,

Wang looked at the Nanjing City of Liao, his eyes lit up, here is not at all like the imaginary Liao State of the desert smoke, horse tent scene, think about this Yanyun land has been integrated into the culture of various ethnic groups, now the Song-Liao border trade is frequent, here is a prosperous scene,

Look at the magnificence of the imperial city in this city, in the north of the city are markets, mountains or specialties, seafood, fish and shrimp, as well as the department stores used by the people's livelihood, all of which are among them.

In the periphery of the imperial city, there are residential areas, Liao Guoguan this kind of residential area is called Lifang District, each square has a wall, a door, and there is a name on the door, such as writing Guihou, Xianzhong, Tangyin, Ganquan, Shihe, Xianlu, and respectful guests

Zhang Ping looked at it and asked, "What are these names?" ”

Wang Bian pointed to the names of these fangs and said: "This matter is divided into residential areas according to ethnic groups, and there are more than 300,000 people in this Nanjing city, including Han, Khitan, Xi, Bohai, Jurchen and other ethnic groups, and the city is divided into 26 "fangs", each of which is used to manage the residents in the city. ”

Zhang Ping gave a thumbs up: "Hey, you see that they are wearing different clothes, Wang Shilang, you know so much"

Zhi Kejun saw that Zhang Ping was still called Wang Bei Shilang, and stabbed Zhang Ping, Zhang Ping hurriedly said with a smile: "Look at me, this is all used to it, and you told me when you first came out, Gongzi, it's not that I flatter you, don't look at you who haven't been to Liao, you are so familiar with Liao." ”

Wang Jian listened and smiled, and did not dare to say anything else, so he said that he had seen this Nanjing for more than 30 years, but now he couldn't see what it would look like nine hundred years later.

The king looked at these temples and suddenly found a place, he knew him from a distance, pointed to it from afar, and said, "Look, this is Fayuan Temple." Saying that, a few people walked closer, and when they looked at the temple plaque on the temple, Zhang Ping smiled: "Childe is wrong this time." It turned out that the plaque on the door of the temple read: "Minzhong Temple"

This gap is also a little bigger, I want to say that the eyes are not good, I can't say it, and I walked not far, there is a tower, a few people are still some distance away from the tower to stop, Zhang Ping joked and said: "Childe, what is this tower called, if you guess right, I will ask for wine today, if you can't guess, you will ask for wine today." ”

Zhi Kejun glanced at him: "You guy, when did Childe let us all invite us to drink." ”

Zhang Ping laughed and said: "Just because there is nothing, I think this tower boy will definitely be able to say it." "In fact, the handwriting is already faintly visible where they are standing,

The king looks at this tower is not an ordinary familiar, it seems that this tower has never changed its appearance for a thousand years, the king laughed next to him, he has seen the record in this tower, in the Song Dynasty, the temple in front of this tower is called "Tianwang Temple", the tower in this temple is of course the tower of Tianwang Temple,

Wang Bi knew that this tower was later renamed Tianning Temple Tower, so he deliberately wanted to tease these people in front of him, so he said: "This tower, I think it is called Tianning Temple Tower."

Zhi Kejun, Zhang Ping and Han Derong all laughed, "If the son wants to invite him to drink, he doesn't have to deliberately admit defeat." The three of them said at the same time,

The king smiled, he didn't want to defend himself, and suddenly heard someone behind him say: "Amitabha, this benefactor knows the future." The king was astonished, and when he looked back, he saw a monk standing behind several people.

The king hurriedly replied respectfully: "May I ask who your Excellency is." ”

The monk smiled slightly and said, "Lao Wei is the abbot of this temple, and his law name is Qisong, can you ask the donor's noble name." ”

Wang saw that this monk was polite and very kind, and just now he deliberately said Tianning Temple, he actually said that he knew the future, is there any mystery here?
