Chapter 140: Chang'an
Chang'an, the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
This large city covering an area of thousands of miles is well-deserved as the first city of the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, not only in the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, but even in the entire Oracle Continent, this city also has a well-deserved name.
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was founded for more than a thousand years, the population of this city has been growing for thousands of years, although it covers a vast area, but the land has been developed to the extreme for thousands of years, and now the outsiders want to settle in Chang'an City, it is even more difficult.
Generally speaking, only great cultivators who have entered the transcendent realm can obtain a mansion in Chang'an City with relative ease.
This also determines that Chang'an is not only the highest status, but also the most strong, under this cycle Chang'an is getting richer and richer, and the poorest poor here are richer than the rest of the city, but the prices in Chang'an are also higher than elsewhere.
Chang'an is north, and it is autumn again, and the temperature is already very cool.
At noon on this day, Zhou Chuxue and the two rode to the towering Chang'an city wall.
Zhou Liuyun looked up at the majestic city wall that could not be seen at a glance, and his heart was full of shock.
It is only under this kind of architecture that one can feel small.
The walls of the city stretched and stretched like a dragon sleeping here, and no one dared to make a mistake.
Compared with this city wall, even Duanyang City seems a little stingy.
This is the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the imperial city of Chang'an!
Everyone who comes here will be proud of being a native of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and Zhou Liuyun is no exception, a breath of air echoes in his chest, and the melancholy in his heart has also been cleansed a little.
The two dismounted and lined up, slowly entering the city with the flow of people.
Originally, according to Zhou Chuxue's identity, of course, there was no need to queue, but Zhou Chuxue generally doesn't like to take privileges, and judging from her consistent style, she is still relatively close to the people.
There were a lot of people entering the city, and it took half an hour to queue for Zhou Chuxue's turn.
The armored soldier stopped the two men and asked in a rough voice, "Who are they?" where did they come from and where are they going?"
Zhou Chuxue didn't pay attention to it, directly took out a token from his waist, and said lightly: "I am Princess Qingzhao." ”
The armorer's face immediately changed drastically, and everyone knelt on the ground.
"Welcome the princess back to the city!"
The captain of the guard leaned over and bent down respectfully and said, "I don't know that the princess will return to the city, and her subordinates deserve death." ”
Zhou Chuxue said lightly: "Don't be polite, this is my friend, I took him into the city." ”
The captain of the guard glanced at Zhang Yanyun, and was shocked, very curious about the identity of this young man, who seemed to be very close to the princess?
However, he only dared to think about this kind of thing, and hurriedly got out of the way and said, "Yes, princess, please enter the city." ”
Zhou Chuxue nodded and took Zhou Liuyun into the city.
A group of people next to him talked in a low voice, no one expected to see Princess Qingzhao when they entered the city, the young men couldn't help but look at the princess a few more times, and their hearts were worthy of being princesses, and their temperament was not comparable to ordinary women at all. The cultivators looked at each other sideways, their hearts were awe-inspiring, although the princess was still young, she had good strength at a glance, and they couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts. The businessmen laughed and saw this as a good omen for making a fortune.
Zhou Liuyun also got some attention, and people were curious about his identity and lowered their heads to talk.
However, Zhou Chuxue didn't care about this, and directly took Zhou Liuyun into Chang'an City.
After entering Chang'an City, Zhou Liuyun realized the prosperity of this city.
Let's just say that the main road under his feet is the widest road that Zhou Liuyun has ever seen, which can accommodate sixteen carriages in parallel.
Most of the people walking on the streets convey luxury, and horse-drawn carriages are endless.
There are very few street vendors of that kind here, most of them are neat and clean storefronts, with banners flying and shouting.
Originally, Zhou Liuyun thought that there were no street vendors in Chang'an City, but later he heard Zhou Chuxue say that there were still them, but they were arranged on another street, and at present, this Chang'an trunk road is not allowed to set up stalls, so that the management is more convenient and orderly.
Zhou Liuyun nodded, it was true.
"Drive!"
A group of fast horses galloped towards him, dressed in the clothes of the imperial court, and the young man at the head was dressed in dark red leather armor with a long knife at his waist, and he was heroic.
When the man saw Zhou Chuxue, his face changed slightly, and he immediately tightened the reins of the horse.
The war horse under the crotch neighed, the front legs were raised high, and the whole body was almost perpendicular to the ground, but the man on the horse had a calm face, obviously the horse was skillful and skillful.
When the horse calmed down, the man turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to Zhou Chuxue's horse, knelt down on one knee with his hands clenched into fists, and said, "Lin Tianming of the Yingshen Mansion, meet the princess!"
The group behind him had already turned over and dismounted, knelt down in front of the horse, and shouted "Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose".
Zhou Liuyun looked at Zhou Chuxue, only to see Zhou Chuxue say lightly: "Don't be polite." ”
From Zhou Chuxue's eyes, Zhou Liuyun noticed a trace of abnormality, it seemed that this princess didn't like people to kneel in front of her at every turn, especially since this was still the main road of Chang'an, a group of people knelt down here and immediately occupied most of the road, and the rest of the pedestrians stopped to watch.
"General Lin, you are in such a hurry, but what happened in Chang'an City?" However, if you don't like it, Zhou Chuxue will not reprimand, but will ask about it with concern.
Lin Tianming glanced at Zhou Liuyun and stopped talking.
Zhou Chuxue waved his hand and said lightly: "It's okay, this is my brother-in-law who I recognize outside, not an outsider." ”
Lin Tianming's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Yes." Returning to the princess, someone handed over a post to the Yingshen Mansion today, and the post actually impeached several powerful ministers in the DPRK and China for favoritism or secretly cultivating party henchmen in this year's theoretical final examination, and asked the court to make a fair ruling!"
Zhou Chuxue's face changed slightly, and her face was covered with a layer of frost.
"Nonsense!" Zhou Chuxue said softly.
"Yes. Lin Tianming said, "After the lord of the mansion learned of this, he immediately met with the saint, and the saint ordered to send Weichen to arrest a few criminals first!"
"How many people are on the impeachment table?" Zhou Chuxue asked in a cold voice.
"Twenty-three people, including five above the third grade and one person from the second grade. Lin Tianming replied very quickly, obviously already familiar with it, "Your Majesty has already sent someone to monitor these five people, and Wei Chen is preparing to arrest the remaining eighteen people this time." ”
"Who is Erpin?" asked Zhou Chuxue again.
Lin Tianming said: "The waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Yan Mingda." ”
Zhou Chuxue's eyes shrank slightly.
Then Zhou Chuxue waved his hand and said, "General Lin, go quickly, I will go to the palace to see my father by myself." ”
"The princess doesn't need to be escorted?" Lin Tianming asked.
"At the door of your own house, what are you escorting? Could it be that the security in my Chang'an City is so bad?" Zhou Chuxue glanced at him lightly.
Lin Tianming lowered his head: "Weichen is talkative, please forgive the princess." ”
Zhou Chuxue waved his hand: "Go ahead." ”
"Yes. Lin Tianming led a group of people to re-mount their horses and galloped away.
Zhou Chuxue obviously had more concerns, and turned back to Zhou Liuyun and said, "Liuyun, this matter is not trivial, let's enter the palace immediately." ”
Zhou Liuyun's heart trembled, although he knew from the beginning that he was likely to enter the palace, but he was still very nervous when he really wanted to go.
It is the imperial palace, a symbol of the power of the entire Eastern Zhou Kingdom, and the most solemn place in the country!
Zhou Liuyun had never thought that he would be able to enter the palace one day, he was just a teenager, how could he not be nervous and excited?
"What's wrong?" Zhou Chuxue saw that he was a little strange, thinking that he didn't want to enter the palace.
"No, it's okay......" Zhou Liuyun hurriedly said.
"Then let's go. Zhou Chuxue raised his whip and took Zhou Liuyun to the palace and galloped towards the palace.
