Li Ang and his entourage, through Mianzhou, out of the Sword Pavilion, go to the Miangu, enter Hanzhong, Xingzhou, and arrive at Dasanguan;

Dasanguan is the throat of Jiannan into Guanzhong, located at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, and then north is Chencang, when Han Xin's "Ming Xiu Plank Road, Secretly Crossing Chencang" happened here.

From Chencang to the east of Weishui, through Yu County, Wugong, to Xianyang.

When Li Ang and his entourage arrived in Xianyang, it was already dusk, the remnant sun of winter silently shone on the ancient Xianyang city, the palace of the Qin Emperor had long been submerged in the dust of history, only the five imperial tombs of the Western Han Dynasty, towering like a mountain, reflected in the remnant sun.

These five imperial tombs are the Changling Tomb of Liu Bang, the Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, the Yang Tomb of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the Mao Tomb of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the Pingling Tomb of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, in order to consolidate his rule, a large number of wealthy families from the Kwantung region were moved into Lingyi. At the same time, these mausoleums on the Xianyang Plain are located on the north bank of Weishui, which plays a role in resisting the southern invasion of the northern Xiongnu and defending the capital Chang'an.

Because the people who moved into Lingyi were all wealthy families, Wulingyi was very prosperous and wealthy, and it was often used as "Wuling Youth" to refer to the children of rich and noble families in later generations.

That night, Li Ang and his entourage stayed in Xianyang, and set off early in the morning to cross Weishui from the south of the bridge;

The temporary bridge was built by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for the convenience of worshipping the ancestors. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Turkic army pressed the border, Taizong set up a suspicious plan, personally led Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling and other 6 people on the bridge to talk to Jieli Khan, and finally Taizong was forced to 'empty the treasury' in order to ask the Turks to retreat, and here to kill the white horse and sign an alliance with the Turks.

Now, the Turks have disappeared, and the bridge is still there, and the cars and horses pass through it, and there is a lot of noise.

Crossed the temporary bridge. The group entered the Kaiyuan Gate with the tribute car, and Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, arrived. From a distance, the Chang'an city wall is as tall as a mountain, towering on the ancient plain, magnificent, shocking.

Kaiyuan Gate is the starting point of the Silk Road. There was an endless stream of Hu merchants, caravans one after another, camel bells sounded, and horses whistled.

When he was about to open the gate, Li Ang saw a caravan of Hu people stopped on the side of the road, and the dusty Hu people knelt on the ground, looking at the majestic city, and burst into tears with excitement, constantly kissing the ground under their feet.

Such a scenario. It is said that it can be seen almost every day outside the Kaiyuan Gate. These Hu merchants trekked thousands of miles, climbed over the mountains, crossed the desert, went through countless hardships, died nine times a lifetime, and finally saw Chang'an in their hearts, which is the heart of the world and the prosperous Tang Dynasty like a dream. You can imagine how excited he was.

There are three holes in the far gate, and there is a standing trench outside the door. That is, the milestone, the inscription: "Nine thousand nine hundred miles of the West Pole Road". It does not say thousands of miles, which means that people who travel far away are not for thousands of miles. In fact, at this time, from the far gate to the west, the territory of the Tang Dynasty is more than ten thousand miles.

The city gate was extremely crowded, and there were soldiers maintaining order. Li Ang and his entourage waited outside the door for a long time before it was their turn to enter the city.

After entering the far gate, the south side is Yining Fang, and Li Ang is also a little excited, and finally enters this prosperous ancient capital. For a while, the noisy voices came to the face. Crisscrossed by avenues up to 100 meters wide; The locust trees on the side of the road are in a row, there are countless pedestrians on the road, the green ox and the white horse are seven incense cars, the children of Beijing are chasing each other, the jade chariot is crisscrossing the main one, and the golden whip is flowing to the Hou family.

There are square walls on both sides of the street, within the square wall, the pavilions reflect each other, the green pavilion even the clouds, look around, really the Liang family painting pavilion rises in the sky, the Han Emperor's golden stem cloud is straight outside. The dragon title covers the sunrise, and the phoenix spits tassels with the sunset. Hundred-foot gossamer scrambles around the tree, and a group of delicate birds cry together.

This is the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, indescribably prosperous.

After Yining Fang southbound, through Jude Fang to the east, is Chang'an West City, which is one of the most prosperous places in Chang'an City. A large number of Hu businessmen gathered here, and the Wuling teenager Jin Shidong laughed into the orchid wine shop.

There are many shops in the workshop, banners and flags are displayed, pedestrians are shoulder to shoulder, there are countless kinds of goods in the store, Jiannan's new sample brocade, hemp paper, shochu spring wine, Yangzhou's brocade, mirror, bronze, seafood; Wu Aya, silk yarn, celadon of Huiji; tortoiseshell, pearls, ivory, and agarwood from the South China Sea; Yuzhang's famous porcelain, wine vessels, tea kettles, tea bells, tea bowls; Xuancheng's empty bluestone, pen and paper, coptis chinensis; Banana kudzu, snake gall bladder, jade in Shi'an. Jiangnan's glutinous rice, abbot Aya; Gemstones, agate, blankets, crystals, and swords from the Western Regions...... Everything you need, it's dazzling to look at.

After the West Market, to the east is Yanshoufang, Yanshoufang East Cross Street, and the northeast corner is the high imperial city wall. At this point, Yang Nan said to Li Ang: "My family lives in Tongyifang, from here to the south, after Taipingfang is Tongyifang, let's not live here." ”

This time from Yizhou to Chang'an, thousands of miles away, the two of them walked all the way, met sooner or later, and now they were suddenly going to separate, Li Ang looked at her, feeling a little reluctant.

"Girl, I'll settle down and I'll go to you. Lingzun, you should first understand the situation in detail, and then we will figure out a way together. ”

"The matter of my father's release is a foregone conclusion, and it can't be changed for a while, so you better take care of yourself first. Not long after the time when the Ministry of Rites opened the department, this is related to your lifelong honor and disgrace, and you can't delay it; And I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with anything. Yang Nan's bright eyes blinked, his gaze was like water, flowing on him, he hesitated for a moment and then said, "You have to pay attention, this capital is not like other places, there are powerful people all over the place, you must not offend people indiscriminately." ”

Li Ang nodded and said, "Girl, don't worry, I know that I have a few catties and a few taels, and I won't be as arrogant as in the fire well." ”

"You...... Take care! After Yang Nan finished speaking, he beat Manan, and the slender figure quickly disappeared in the flow of people.

Li Ang continued eastward with the Xianggong procession, crossed the Suzaku Gate of the Imperial Palace, crossed the 155-meter-wide Suzaku Street and continued eastward, passing through Xingdaofang and Wubenfang. A square in Chang'an City is usually more than a mile wide, and it takes a long time to walk before you come to Chongrenfang on the east side of the imperial city, which is Li Ang's destination.

According to the regulations, after the local township tributes arrive in Beijing, they must first go to the Ministry of Rites to submit the explanation, family form, settlement and joint insurance, and register their own residence.

The so-called literary interpretation refers to the chapters and tables and other texts offered by the state governments at the same time as sending tributes, while in the imperial examination, it refers to the recommendation certificates issued by the state governments to the lifters.

The family form is a family status table written by the child, which includes the place of origin of the child, the names of the three generations of the ancestors, etc.

If there is a concealment of the joint guarantee, it is necessary to have at least five people to guarantee each other to ensure that the co-lifter does not have "a lack of filial piety, and the momentum of the party" is concealed and corrected, and the co-lifter is not allowed to go to the lift for three years.

Wei Yuan had a gap with Li Ang, and he had a lot of communication and was unwilling to cooperate with Li Ang, so Li Ang agreed with Tang Yu and Yizhou, three apprentices with good relations Wei Ruliang, Di Yuan, and Wu Ziqing, to protect each other and go to the Ministry of Rites together.
