Chapter 83: Entering Chang'an for the First Time

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it!

Xie Yi himself wants to be low-key, but as soon as he arrives in Chang'an, everyone will be in the limelight, and it is difficult to be low-key!

Helpless, this matter is not up to me at all, it was Li Shimin who single-handedly pushed himself into this situation, and I don't know what he thinks?

In fact, Xie Yi didn't mind that His Majesty Li Er occasionally treated him badly, and his title and position didn't have to be improved so quickly, which made people jealous.

But the thing is so inch, so coincidental, both uncle and sister-in-law in Shaanzhou have the merit of saving the driver. Maybe Li Shimin is unwilling to leave behind the handle of treating heroes poorly, or maybe there are other considerations, Xie Yi's title has become more and more conspicuous.

Is it a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that can't be avoided, what do you care about so much?

Baqiao bridgehead, all eyes on it, this kind of vanity feeling is quite good, and it's okay to be vain once or twice in life.

It's just that Xie Yi is a little worried, in case His Majesty Li Er, who has "fallen out of favor", is jealous......

Fortunately, Li Shimin was temporarily immersed in the intoxication of the king's domination and the worship of the ministers, and did not notice anything unusual.

Then there is a complicated ceremony, the crown prince Li Chengqian made a speech to welcome, Li Shimin also symbolically delivered a few words, and then took the imperial chariot to the Taimiao, it is said to be to pay homage to the ancestors of heaven and earth.

Fortunately, only some of the people participated in these ceremonies, and Xie Yi was able to "escape the catastrophe" and was able to travel lightly and directly into Chang'an City.

returned to his carriage, but saw that Li Zhi, the king of Jin, and Princess Jinyang were saying goodbye to Du Shi and Xiaoman. After a few moments, the Inner Servant Province would send someone to send them back to the Taiji Palace.

Chang'an is the capital, so naturally there can be no expedient measures for Luoyang Palace, and the Xie family can only live in the mansion outside the palace, and it is difficult to enter and exit the palace. So there will be fewer opportunities to meet in the future, and Li Zhi and his son are clearly aware of this, so they are very reluctant.

"Son, it's okay, in the future, we can ask our father for a decree and go to Master Xie's house to play!" Seeing that his sister was sad and almost wanted to cry, Li Zhi hurriedly comforted him.

Princess Jinyang innocently asked, "Really?" ”

"Of course!" Li Zhi replied quickly, but also reluctantly.

It is not easy for the prince who has not yet opened another mansion outside the palace to get out of the palace, not to mention that he is young, and as for the younger princess, it is even more difficult to get out of the palace.

It may not be difficult to see Xie Yi in the future, but Du Shi and Xiaoman don't know how long it will take to see each other? Thinking of this, Li Zhi couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Xie Yi saw it in his eyes, and he was also thinking in his heart, maybe he really needed to think of a way. Feelings aside, the existence of King Jin and Princess Jinyang is of great significance to the Xie family, how can such an important weight be easily discarded?

"The two highnesses, after all, are in the same Chang'an City, there will always be a chance to meet." Xie Yi comforted softly.

"Hmm!" Li Zhi and his son-in-law nodded obediently, for them at this moment, Xie Yi's words would be convincing. Li Zhi believes that Master Xie will not be open-mouthed, and Princess Jinyang believes that Brother Xiaoyao will not deceive people.

Seeing off the reluctant Li Zhi and Princess Jinyang, Xie Yi was also ready to take his family into the city to see the new house.

The mansion given by Li Shimin is in Anyefang, close to the central axis of Chang'an, Zhuque Street, Lu Tong has been cleaned, arranged for the family servants, and only waited for the master to move in.

"Xiaoyao, when you first enter Chang'an, I'm afraid you don't know the road, the old man will send you a guide!" Cheng Zhijie is very enthusiastic, when Xie Yi was in Luoyang, it was a good start to send wine, and the rescue of Shaanzhou was equivalent to saving him Cheng Zhijie.

Afterwards, Lao Cheng was also very grateful to Xie Yi, and he took a fancy to this young man who was talented and had a great future, so Cheng Zhijie naturally treated him well everywhere.

Xie Yi smiled: "Then thank you Lu Guogong." ”

Cheng Zhijie said: "Let Wang Yongan go, you are familiar with him, and ...... Let him stay in your house for a few more days and take care of the home. ”

"This ...... I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right? "Xie Yi is full of black lines, Wang Yongan is a member of the forbidden army, and the emperor's family is standing guard for self-driving, for fear of trespassing.

"It's okay, Your Majesty has already agreed to this matter." Cheng Zhijie said: "You have a meritorious escort, but you also offended the assassin fiercely, in case you look for a chance to retaliate...... Although there are garrisons and Wuhou patrolling the night in Chang'an City, in case of a crisis, it will not be possible to have a guard by his side after all. ”

"So, thank you Lu Guogong." While thanking him, Xie Yi also felt a little uneasy in his heart, how could he ignore this problem.

Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend against, and if the assassin can't think of it, it can be really troublesome to seek revenge on himself. You can't always borrow guards from the palace, can you? It seems that it is necessary to recruit a few rangers to be good at the home, the salary is ridiculously high, and safety is too important.

Under the guidance and escort of Wang Yongan, the Xie family took a carriage from Baqiao to Chang'an City. When entering the city through Yanxing Gate, Xie Yi poked his head out, and the tall city wall appeared in front of him.

Behind the wide moat, the city wall is about four zhang high, and the tower is even more amazingly high, about ten zhang high, almost equivalent to the height of ten stories in later generations.

When passing through the city gate hole, Xie Yi found that the thickness of the city wall was also amazing. Wang Yongan said that the city wall is basically trapezoidal, the base is six zhang wide, and the top of the city wall is five zhang wide, almost 15 meters. With this width, running a carriage on it is not a problem.

What surprised Xie Yi even more was that such a thick city wall surrounded the entire Chang'an, totaling more than seventy miles. In this way, the city covers an area of seventy or eighty square kilometers, which is definitely a super city in this era.

Once in the city, you will walk straight down the streets. There is no need for Wang Yongan to introduce, Xie Yi also knows that the layout of the cities of Chang'an and Luoyang is similar, boxy, criss-crossing straight streets divide the city into 110 squares, and the east and west cities are commercial districts.

The location of the Xie family's mansion is in Anye Fang at the intersection of this street and Zhuque Street, and you can reach Taiji Palace by walking directly north along Zhuque Street.

In Wang Yongan's words, Mr. Xie is favored and rich, and the mansion of the imperial gift is close to Zhuque Street, which can be called the prime location of Chang'an. Moreover, the Xie family can directly open the door of the house on the street outside the fang, in Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, this is a privilege only for aristocratic officials, and ordinary people do not have this qualification.

Tall, it feels good!

Escorted by the forbidden army, the journey was naturally unimpeded, and soon arrived directly at Anyefang on Suzaku Street. Xie Yi was also fortunate to see the central axis of Tang Chang'an City for the first time - Suzaku Street.

It is amazing, the width of the street is as much as 150 meters, from the Chengtian Gate of the Imperial City to the Mingde Gate in the south of the city, so it is also called "Tian (Gate) Street" by the people of Chang'an.

At the same time, Zhuque Street is also a geographical demarcation line, the east of the street is under the jurisdiction of Wannian County, and the west of the street is under the jurisdiction of Chang'an County.

There is only one bad place, Suzaku Street is a yellow dirt road, and even the stone slabs have not been paved, which does not match the international metropolis, bad reviews!

When I arrived at Anyefang, Huaiyang County Bofu was easy to find, and the huge plaque was clearly visible. After getting the news, Lu Tong had already led a group of newly recruited domestic servants and maidservants to wait at the door. Many residents of Anye Square learned that there was a new noble to move in, and they gathered at the street corner to watch the excitement.

As the male host, of course Xie Yi had to get out of the car to meet the servants and say hello!

Seeing Xie Yi again a few months later, the smile on Lu Tong's face became brighter and his attitude became more respectful. Without it, in just a few months, Gongzi Xie became a county boy from a county man, and now he has become an earl.

For this reason, the plaque at the door of this mansion has been changed two or three times, although it is troublesome and costs a lot, but Lu Tong is extremely happy.

It's worth it! The original vision was too accurate, how wise the choice was, next to such a big tree, the Lu family was rich and noble for at least three generations!

"Ah Lang, the house is renovated, clean it quickly, I will wait for many days, just waiting for you to move in!" Lu Tong changed his mouth and called Xie Yi "Ah Lang", which is the standard title of the servant for the master of the house, after all, today is different from the past, and it is no longer appropriate to call him Gongzi.

"Good!"

"Welcome to Alang!" A group of servants and maids greeted the young man with curiosity.

"No need to be polite!"

Xie Yi waved his hand and walked inside along the door of the house. As for Du Shi and Xiaoman, they did not get out of the car, but entered directly through the open corner door.

The courtyard of Wujin is not magnificent, the pattern is decent, and it looks like that after being renovated. Lu Tong is also careful, and the arrangements everywhere are quite proper, the household utensils, flowers and trees are exquisite, and there is no less money or effort.

Xie Yi looked around and praised: "Lord Lu, bother. ”

"That's what villains should do." Lu Tong smiled and said, "Ah Lang can give any orders to the servants at home?" ”

"This ...... Don't worry about it for now, go back and wait until your wife's injuries have healed, you can arrange accommodation and food for the Praetorian Guards who come back with me, and they will probably have to stay here for a few days. ”

"Yes!" The Praetorian Guard is stationed in the Guardian's House, and this treatment is ...... Lu Tong is even more joyful.

Xie Yi frowned and asked, "I asked you, ...... I ordered?"

Lu Tong immediately said with a smile on his face: "Ah Lang advised, how dare the villain forget?" In the east and west bedrooms of the middle courtyard, the hot kang has already been prepared for you and your wife. ”
