ps: The number of people is a small flaw, no matter how much it is not like it, the overall area is more than half of the oval Weiyang Palace, the high wall is much higher than the Weiyang Palace, and the thickness is not as good as the palace wall on the city wall that can run horses side by side.

Ask for a subscription!

The spring rain in Guanzhong gradually stopped, and on a sunny morning, the sun was shining and the climate was pleasant.

The racecourse ushered in the opening performance, and the elders and villagers from 70 counties in Guanzhong drove their four-wheeled carriages to watch the race.

Such a big project, built for almost a year, consumed a lot of money, a lot of labor, everyone can see it outside Chang'an, it is simply an excellent billboard, even the businessmen of Chang'an and the two cities have half of the business to come to see the performance.

Zheng Lao took a family of more than a dozen families of sixty or seventy people, and rushed to the outside of the racecourse in more than a dozen four* carriages, and entered the parking area, and now there are really many people who come to see the performance today.

"Who said no, everyone thanks to the kindness of Shaofu mixed a few mouthfuls of rice, the past two years have been quite smooth, this year's grain has all been sprouted in the ground, the county lieutenant said to throw more mud in the river, the humus in the mountains as fertilizer, use the water wheel to water the ground to keep this year's harvest good, stained with the light of Shaofu can not come to the scene, and there is no face to go out to meet people in the future."

Old man Ding, who took care of one of the dozens of parking areas in the racecourse, happened to be an acquaintance of Zheng Lao, and the two of them were idle and talked about their parents.

An old guy like Old Man Ding can't reach the three elders in the township, and Li Zheng is unwilling to go to that god, so he was found by the subordinate officials of the Shaofu and arranged to watch the parking lot. Every month's salary is about the same as Lizheng, and the victory is that the work is easy, and the carriages of each family are parked here without fear of being stolen. Dare to steal the carriage was caught, and immediately twisted to the border county as a prisoner.

Old man Ding values the racecourse adjacent to the temple square, take a walk and run to the temple square to play for a while, not long after the beginning of spring, the temple square began to build a house around the ground, it is estimated that it is to get some new buildings nearby, he thinks there should be a big guy to build.

Zheng Tongda's children lined up to buy tickets, the ladies and children sat in the carriage and chatted, and the women's topics were inseparable from perfumes, stockings and beautiful clothes. A few big men got together to discuss the latest news from the racecourse.

"What do you think the racetrack is for? The huge circle does not need to be built with soil fences, but it is necessary to use good green bricks and raw cement. The architectural style is strange like a stone arch bridge, and there are more than a million seats placed in it, is it used for us to sit? ”

"Don't worry about it, it's not easy for Shaofu to give us food. If the racecourse is messed up, everyone's good life will be completely over, where will you find a job in charge of food and food in the future? ”

A few men were silent, complaining to complaining, no one thought that Shaofu would make the racecourse unpresentable, but they were still worried that if such a big racecourse could not be used, it would be a big loss.

Today is the imperial court's five-day bath.

Prime Minister Wei Juan's carriage stopped in the special parking lot outside the racecourse early, and the three princes and nine kings of the court who followed him, and the high-ranking officials above a thousand stones in the court came seventy or eighty, and only a few people who couldn't leave the matter could not come to the scene. The low-level bureaucrats came in countless numbers, and seven or eight out of ten bureaucrats from all over Chang'an gathered here.

It's unprecedented.

"I've seen the prime minister!"

"Hehe, the lords are polite."

Wei Wan was dressed in casual clothes. With a relaxed and natural expression, he didn't see the devastation he had suffered a few days ago, and he brought his wife and daughter and son-in-law at home, as well as a five-year-old grandson and a two-year-old granddaughter.

Zhi Budo also brought out his wife and the children in the family, and the three princes and nine Qing families all brought their relatives and relatives, and regarded this visit as an ordinary trip. As for whether the racecourse is good or bad, few people care.

"What about success? Can a show be turned upside down? Tingwei Niu was wearing a royal blue new Hanfu and a royal blue crown. The long black hair is like a virtuous man.

Half of the three princes and nine ministers smiled in return, Taichang Xu Chang laughed dryly and left with his hand, and the servant Wang Bifang, Weiwei Zhuang Qingzhai, and the master craftsman Zhang Pre 6 continued to leave, they did not belong to the people, why bother to smile and make a friendly gesture.

Lang Zhong Linghe looked back at everyone's expressions, and said proudly, "Do you have anything else to say?" ”

"The mud can't support the wall, and it will be their biggest mistake when they choose to support Pingyang Hou Cao!"

"Everyone has their own ambitions, don't force them, since you can't be a friend, then be an enemy."

"I really don't understand, the Queen Mother came to the racecourse in person, what kind of useless struggle do they have to make?"

Half of the secretaries expressed ridicule, the small half expressed puzzlement, and the small half were silent.

The dispute between the court and the court has always been bloody, and it is the most intolerable for the kindness of women.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Marquis Xiao He and Pingyang Marquis Cao Shen were old brothers for many years, and the two of them tore their faces for the sake of merit and the prime minister's throne, and the friendship between the old brothers for many years was once gone.

is not only a simple offense, the Marquis Xiao family in Xiao He's death, immediately fell into endless trouble, up to the high queen Lu Pheasant down to the meritorious marquis, no one wants to see the Xiao family standing above the court, even if they know that the Xiao family has a few talented boys, still ruthlessly kicked the Xiao family out of Chang'an, so far for fifty years and two generations, the influence of the Xiao family has long been cleaned up by the meritorious lies, and people can no longer remember the descendants of the founding hero Xiao He.

Cao Shi and Wei Juan tore their faces and started a war, the war without gunpowder has begun, and the cloudy atmosphere in Chang'an is suffocating.

At this time, Wei Juan's determination is just like Cao Shen's determination decades ago.

Completely defeated the Cao family, kicked Cao Shi and his henchmen out of Chang'an, and ended the war between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor at the same time.

Lieutenant Zhang Ou was indifferent to their plans, and it seemed that he was just a desireless Northern officer, but he had already seen a change in his heart.

Tingwei Niu is so positive, what he is doing is to further enter the throne of the Three Princes, even if he can't succeed for the time being, he can retreat to the second choice of too often, Jiuqing's charge of etiquette is a rare fat shortage. The Prime Minister, the Imperial Historian and even the Empress Dowager will never refuse the requests made by important heroes.

Lang Zhong Linghe and Lord Du Weinu have similar thoughts, and they each have a small abacus in their hearts. There will be at least four vacancies in Jiuqing after Shaofu and his henchmen, and there are as many as more than ten Shangqing, which are all coveted positions, and everyone wants to get into their arms.

His best friend Zhou Yafu died again, and Zhang Ou returned to his hometown after leaving Chang'an for a few years, and he had already extinguished his desire to fight for power and profit, and did his part in accordance with the rules. The rest of the people didn't hear anything outside the window.

There is still half an hour before the start of the race.

The crowd outside the racetrack had skyrocketed, a world of difference from half an hour ago. The parking area was packed, and the wagons that went out and came in were crowded into a crowd of people on their backs.

Old man Ding was in a hurry, and he jumped up and shouted: "Come to me according to the rules, be careful if you don't listen to the greetings and don't line up, be careful of the guards of the Southern Army!" ”

This voice works wonders. Suddenly, the parking lot was much quieter with the neighing of people and horses, and the quarreling crowd naturally dispersed, honestly cleaning up their mood and queuing up to get in and out.

The southern army camp is set up in the south of the city, the racecourse and the temple square happen to be the only place for the southern army to enter and exit Chang'an, almost without blowing the effort to grasp it, someone dares to make trouble in this place without thinking about it and knowing the consequences, the northern army has a big prison, and the southern army also has a big prison.

The short riots quickly dissipated. In front of the hordes of guards of the Southern Army, no one challenged the majesty of the soldiers.

The Zheng family kid ran over. When relatives were allowed to enter, a large crowd of men, women, and children rushed to the passage to check the number of people. The moment they stepped into the racecourse through the dark road, everyone's hearts jumped suddenly, and they were shocked by the huge racetrack.

"What do I see?"

"It's a miracle!"

"Am I dreaming?"

Following the sound and looking at the other side of the corridor, sure enough, there were several families standing at the door screaming, and the children were screaming. Jumping and jumping like a magical new world.

Zheng Tong took a deep breath and tried to calm down his excitement, never expecting the dusty construction site to be cleaned and planted with grass. It becomes a beautiful and beautiful giant garden, with a wide track of beautiful dark grass, a huge area of light grass in the middle, and a white lime line distinguishing the boundary between the two color patches.

A fenced steppe?

On the other side, Wei Juan shook his head and smiled, although his little grandson and granddaughter were shouting excitedly, and his daughter and son-in-law were very happy to hold the child, but he laughed at the racetrack in his heart.

"It's destined to be a stupid act of wasting money, Shaofu, is this what you want me to see?" The corners of Wei Wan's mouth turned up slightly.

Outside the racetrack.

"There are still two quarters of an hour left before the start of the race! If you want to enter the venue, hurry up and buy tickets, the ordinary ticket is a penny for the adults and children, and the children under five feet are free of charge! The young man selling the ticket shouted loudly.

Under the watchful eyes of the guards of the Southern Army, the audience who entered the venue honestly paid the money to enter, and the efficiency of buying tickets suddenly increased greatly, and the flow of people rushed in like a flood in just a quarter of an hour, and the queue continued to decrease with a degree visible to the naked eye.

The wealthy Guanzhong people didn't care about a penny of tickets, they wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the racecourse, and after a while, the number of ticket buyers with Kanto accents gradually increased, and the outsiders in Chang'an City who rushed to hear the news couldn't help but join in.

As the long flow of people guò dozens of lanes entered the racecourse, the parking area, which had been a moment before, suddenly fell silent.

Old man Ding walked around the parking area, guiding a few unlucky people who came late to find new vacant seats from time to time.

Suddenly, a speeding carriage broke in and almost knocked down the old man Ding who was walking around the corner.

"Ouch! I almost didn't scare the old man half to death, how did you boys drive? ”

"I'm sorry old man, I accidentally overslept and was almost late, I'm really embarrassed to leave in a bit of a hurry." Wei Youqu jumped out of the carriage and made a series of moves, and the other three went straight to the ticket window.

In the two days that they came to Chang'an, the four of them participated in various banquets non-stop, Liu Che, the son of heaven, summoned the luncheon, the empress dowager summoned the dinner, and the high-ranking officials and nobles toasted and talked until the eve of the curfew and locked the palace door before going back, and fell asleep when they were tired at the post house.

When I woke up in the morning, it was just past midnight, and I hurriedly got up and put on my clothes and hurried over, not even having time to eat along the way.

Wei Youqu

Fortunately, there were still a few remaining tickets in the VIP area, so I hurriedly beckoned three companions to buy tickets and walked in.

Rumble!

At the end of the pitch-black corridor was a blinding light. There was also a cacophony of sounds.

Wei Youqu looked back in astonishment, and now he was under his feet, on the top of his head, and on the left and right. And the opposite side is so dense that there are too many people to count.

There was a sea of people, and tens of thousands of people shouted, and the sound was like a tsunami.

"How many people are this?"

"I heard that there were 1.3 million people in the room."

"What? 1.3 million people? ”

"I'm not wrong, there are so many people, more than any of our populations."

Wei Youqu wiped the sweat from his head, he felt that this was the most terrifying nightmare he had ever had in his life. The huge arena that can accommodate 1.3 million people at the same time, in the end, he is crazy. Or is everyone crazy.

The 1.3 million occupancy of the giant racecourse is unprecedented, necessarily unique, and perhaps unprecedented.

It is rare that Su Wang and Su Chou did not quarrel. The two of them widened their eyes and glanced around, and what caught their eyes was a beautiful woman in colorful and green clothes, and the warbler Yanyan was very eye-catching, and the wealth of the people of Chang'an broke their imagination again.

"Is this the true strength of the Han Empire?" Zhao Yingqi sighed lightly.

He suddenly understood the purpose of his father Zhao Yuan who sent him here, in the face of an incredibly powerful empire, the choice of Nanyue could not be hostile, they had no hostile capital.

The ugly face was not good, and he snorted: "I don't believe how much conscription is required for such a large racecourse. Ten years or twenty years? It must have drained the national treasury of the Han people. ”

"What you said is so reasonable, I heard that it took Xiao He more than ten years to repair Chang'an City, and it will take me at least ten years to watch the racecourse. In order to satisfy the poor and extravagant, the Han people desperately want to empty the treasury, such a country can only show off, how can it be compared with our simple and brave Dongou people! Suwang comforted himself.

Wei Youqu nodded involuntarily, and now there was only this explanation to comfort their injured hearts, and he came to the conclusion that there were two, either the Han people had no money and were poor. Either the Han people are rich and poor, and they are extremely luxurious, in short, they are not as good as the natives of their four families.

Self-deception, perhaps. But under the huge blow, they can only stick their heads into the fool and pretend to be an ostrich.

Knock knock......

The dull drum beat suddenly sounded, the drum beat became more and more urgent, and in the blink of an eye, the conch sounded.

The sharp sound of the snail horn suddenly shocked the people of Chang'an involuntarily, the sound was the snail horn of the army fighting, the call of the people of Chang'an to go to the temple, and today it was the trumpet of the game.

There was a sudden commotion in the VIP area, and everyone stood up in unison, and in the royal area at the top, almost all the most distinguished people of the royal family arrived.

Empress Dowager Dou Yifang, Empress Dowager Wang Huan, Son of Heaven Liu Che, Empress Chen Ajiao, Princess Liu Concubine and her husband Tangyi Hou Chen Wu, Princess Yangxin Liu Wan and her husband Pingyang Hou Cao Shi, Nangong Princess Liu Wu and her husband Nangong Hou Zhang Zai, Princess Longshu Liu Shu and her husband Longshu Hou Chen Chan, as well as the prince of the royal family surnamed Liu and his family who live in Chang'an all the year round.

There were more than two hundred members of the royal family, and everyone present was either rich or noble, with a prominent reputation, and all of them were dressed in the most expensive clothes in the empire.

Princess Yangxin wears a black silk dress with gold and rubies, with black stockings and red silk shoes, the whole person is like a princess who came out of a fairy tale.

In contrast, the two younger sisters are much inferior, Princess Nangong is wearing a red and silver silk peony robe, and Princess Longxi is wearing a black gold and silver mixed color bird annunciation gown, it can be seen that the two of them bought the best clothes from Pingyang Garment Workshop, but they are much worse than the best grade worn by Liu Wan.

"Sister is so beautiful today, so beautiful Jin Bu Shao, what are the names of those shining white stones?"

"Sister, are your earrings white gold? What a beautiful ruby. ”

"Oh, you say this stone! This stone is very rare and is called diamond. ”

Princess Liu Wan of Yangxin replied with a smile to her two younger sisters, the relationship between the three sisters is very good, and the two younger sisters are also heartless little girls, Liu Wan always responds to the needs of the two younger sisters, and the three beautiful girls chatted hand in hand.

Chen Chan looked around boredly, he usually hooked up with women everywhere and didn't do business, he had already been hollowed out by the wine, and he felt uncomfortable after sitting for a while, but he consciously avoided the eyes of the two brothers-in-law.

Zhang Zao is short-tempered and is a person who is not easy to talk to, and he usually doesn't like to interact in the Beijing Division, and he is obsessed with the frivolous steps of Flower Street and Willow Lane all day long, and his eyes are blue, which is even different from his situation.

I was very afraid of Cao Shi, every time I saw this brother-in-law who was much younger than myself, Chen Chan would involuntarily feel weak, and he was also very angry at his incompetence, but he couldn't muster up the courage anyway, and the beating left a deep impression on him.

Dozens of vague glances swept in, some full of warnings, some hostile, and more meaningless playfulness and scrutiny.

Liu Che, the son of heaven, frequently passed his eyes, but Queen Chen Ajiao was in the middle and frequently obstructed, every time he turned his head and wanted to make some small movements, he was blocked by his wife, and he was so angry that he couldn't wait to slap her away with an ear scraper.

It's a pity that Liu Che has the heart of a thief but not the courage of a thief.

Cao Shi sat quietly and motionless like a mountain, the Empress Dowager Dou Yifang had been blind for more than ten years and couldn't see anyone for a long time, the hook eye of the princess Liu Concubine was harmless to him, and the others were just passers-by who accompanied him at best.

His enemy is not Dou Yifang, the women of the harem are useless without the support of the court, as long as they defeat the hostile Three Princes and Nine Qings, a problem will be solved.

"This is a treasure for the heavenly nobles, this thing is called the telescope, selected from the best yellow rosewood made of the barrel, from the Donghai County natural crystal to hand polish and wash and polish, after dozens of Seiko took 30 days to complete, a good angle to look down at the scene of a thing is exquisite!"

The director of the racecourse is Shaofu Chengqushan, a thin middle-aged man holding a telescope and handing it to the Son of Heaven, Liu Che took it and opened it to take a look and immediately praised: "Good thing!" Let's take a look. ”

The Son of Heaven had seen the prototype of the telescope for a long time, and the royal nobles had never touched this high-end product, so they followed Qu Shan's comparison to figure out the reverse and the opposite, and looked at the telescope for a while and exclaimed one by one.

The Empress Dowager couldn't see anything, and said dissatisfiedly: "What makes everyone noisy? ”

"Queen Mother, this is a telescope for seeing things, and the scenery hundreds of feet away seems to be in front of you." The princess said.

It is not only the royal nobles who are fiddling with the telescope, but the VIP area is also expected to hand over the telescope, but they want to charge money if they want to buy it, a telescope is worth twenty gold, and Tong Su refused to bargain without deception.

Rich people are very happy to buy a few, and the shy swollen face and fat man also want to buy one, Wei Juan gritted his teeth and bought three, he used one, his wife used one, and his daughter and son-in-law shared one.

"Father, I want it too!"

"I want it too, I want it too!"

The two children were crying and making noise about the telescope, Wei Juan looked back at Sangong Jiuqing embarrassedly, everyone was entangled by the relatives and children of the family, and he was embarrassed to borrow money from others, so he had to scold with a straight face: "What kind of telescope do the children want, they don't sit down honestly, and they won't take you out to play next time." ”

The child was frightened and cried, this crying VIP area but everyone who has children is crying, you cry and I cry, crying more like you, crying snot and tears flow everywhere, crying splashing and rolling just can't get up.

The four adjacent princes were a little reluctant to go, a few dozen gold was just a little money in their eyes, and it was really unreasonable to let a group of children cry and make trouble.

As soon as a few people discussed, Wei Youqu came over and asked, "Why don't I lend you some money?" (To be continued)
