46. Chang'an
On this trip, there were a large number of people, and Emperor Wu was very old, so the speed of travel was extremely slow.
Sometimes they stop and hunt.
Fortunately, the weather has been good, until the fifteenth day, into the territory of Weinan, through Huashan.
The name of Huashan, which first appeared in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", is the sacred mountain of the Chinese nation and the root of China. Because Huashan is precipitous, very few people climb, the emperors of the previous dynasties sacrificed Dongyue Taishan more, if the sacrifice Huashan, also only held a ceremony in the temple under the mountain.
It is even more impossible for Emperor Wu to stay in Huashan with such a large team.
Since ancient Huashan, Shen Mengxi climbed Huashan, built a plank road, added iron cables, and was scared half to death, now Huashan, she can only think about it.
I can't help but think of Jin Yong's Huashan Sword, at that time, Huashan Road had already been built.
She took out the jade flute and played a piece of "Always Hello in the World", Jane said it was good, and she wanted to listen to it again.
Li Longji climbed into the car, sat with Jian'er, listened to it, and after listening, he wanted to climb Mount Hua, Shen Mengxi laughed when he heard it.
Shen Mengxi pointed to the steep peaks of Huashan and told them a paragraph of "Huashan on the Sword", and the two teenagers were so proud that they couldn't help jumping out of the car and galloping away, causing dust to fly, and the deer was so angry that he pulled down the curtain.
What Shen Mengxi didn't expect was that Li Longji had always been obsessed with Huashan, and a few years later, Li Longji was proclaimed emperor and would order someone to dig Huashan Road and set up an altar.
"Nine days of Changlu open the palace, and all countries are crowned." After a journey of less than 1,000 miles and more than 20 days, I finally arrived in Chang'an.
Chang'an, taking Yi for a long period of time, is the first city in the true sense of Chinese history, the largest city in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the eastern starting point of the Silk Road, the starting point of the Grand Canal in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, one of the four ancient capitals of the world, and the first of the four ancient capitals of China.
Emperor Wu's honor guard wanted to go through Suzaku Street, so the team turned a corner and entered the city from the Mingde Gate in the south of the city.
The carriage went up a straight and wide road, which was an extension of Suzaku Street, and went south to Jungnan Mountain.
The Shangyi Bureau began to organize the ranks, played drums, erected canopies, and set up a full guard of honor. Yin'er and Li Xian Li Dan's sons rode into the city with the guard of honor, and all the carriage curtains were lowered, the speed of the carriage slowed down, and passed through the Mingde Gate and entered Chang'an.
The gates of Mingde Gate were wide open, and the people waiting to enter the city knelt in the distance.
The horse's hooves trampled, knocked on the ground, entered the deep and long doorway of the Mingde Gate, saw the door nails on the city gate, and the breath of the ancient capital in his face, which made Shen Mengxi's tears fall unconsciously.
As soon as the light is on, go out of the city gate, step on the Suzaku Street, the street is one hundred and fifty meters wide, and the street is more than five thousand meters long, leading directly to the Suzaku Gate of the Imperial City. As far as Shen Mengxi's eyes could see, it was just a guard of honor that did not come before and after, but Emperor Wu in his twilight years, walking at the forefront of the team, sitting in the high dragon chariot, I don't know how fierce her mood was!
The whole Chang'an city area is about 88 square kilometers, the circumference of the outer Guocheng city wall is about 36 kilometers, each side of the city wall has three city gates, twelve city gates are opposite to each other, forming six streets through the city gate, Zhuque Street is the central axis of Chang'an City, with the street as the boundary, the east side belongs to the jurisdiction of Wannian County, and the west side belongs to the jurisdiction of Chang'an County.
Chang'an City has a grand scale, rigorous layout, symmetrical structure, neatly arranged, 11 streets in the north and south, 14 streets in the east and west, forming 110 squares, like a huge chessboard, which is very desirable for Shen Mengxi, a patient who is sorted out and controlled.
She looked at the map in her hand, found Xingdaofang, and pointed it out to the southeast horn deer. "Our home, right here."
