Chapter Twenty-Three: The Hall of the Sages

Following Tang San, Dongfang Mi and them left the Yi region and entered the nearest city. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is said to be the most recent, but there is also a boundary of more than 1,000 miles, and it is sparsely populated.

The city is not small, it occupies a large area, and the black walls stand tall and erect, covered with traces of time, and there are traces of war, and the wounds of swords, guns, swords, and halberds are left on it.

These are all caused by the attack of the barbarian tribes, and in the early years, it was close to the mountains and forests, and it was heavily guarded, and the war was endless. That is, in recent years, the national strength of the Dayong Dynasty was at its peak, and these barbarians did not dare to come out.

The huge gate was preceded by a wide moat with a clear and sparkling water. As far as the eye can see, nine stout chains build up nine rope bridges, which serve as pedestrian passages.

But now, only one of the nine rope bridges has fallen, and the rest have been hoisted.

After Tang San flew here, he came down and said: "Not long ago, the local officials in Jiaozhou have greatly relocated the people here, unless they are unwilling to leave, they are not reluctant, now this prosperous city has become empty, and many empty rooms in it are all no-man's land, sealed by the government. ”

Dongfang Mi was supported down by the female goblin, looking at the city, the gate was heavily guarded, but it could be seen from the sky that there were few people on the wide street.

Since the founding of the Daeyong Dynasty, a series of rules have been laid down, and everything must be done according to the rules, one of which is that the road in the city must be a distance of ten carriages walking side by side, and it must not be smaller than this.

This was also set in mind by taking into account the exploding population and thriving business.

In fact, in the 31 years since the founding of the Daeyong Dynasty, the population has increased fivefold, and the average life expectancy has increased by 15 years, which is why the world loves the Daeyong Dynasty.

The Dayong Dynasty built schools and standardized teaching so that all the people could learn, which belonged to the wisdom of the people.

Later, the Dayong Dynasty built cities everywhere, beautified the environment, reclaimed the wilderness, and planted all kinds of food, and the people in the world were never hungry, and the grain taxes collected by the imperial court were piled up and could not be used.

The Dayong Dynasty invaded foreign countries, attached importance to commerce, and exported all kinds of handicrafts, so that its people were rich, and as long as they were not lazy, they would not starve to death.

The Dayong Dynasty compiled the law and preached it to the world, so that the people knew what was against the law, and they could report it to the officials and protect their rights and interests.

The Dayong Dynasty built the Grand Canal to link all the huge rivers in the world together, dredge them, and put an end to floods and droughts.

All kinds of things are beneficial to the country and the people, and also make the world prosperous, and the people are singing and dancing, and they are peaceful.

Although the contradictions between the family and the common people are gradually intensifying under this peaceful scene, after all, it is the early days, and the deterrent power of the Dayong Dynasty should not be underestimated, and no one has made any big trouble.

At this moment, in this big city, in addition to the soldiers, only the old people and some young people who are unwilling to leave are left, less than 30,000 people, which is nine-tenths less than usual.

Tang San led the way, and Dongfang looked for them to follow, and entered the city under the scrutinizing gaze of the soldiers.

Tang San led everyone left and right, came to a courtyard, and said, "This is my house, everyone stay here for a few days, and also take care of themselves." ”

Dongfang Mi nodded, his slender waist straightened up, broke away from the support of the female goblin, and walked slowly: "Everyone stay here, I will write a letter, and you will go to Yangzhou immediately to pass on the news from our side." ”

Dongfang Mi does not have any power in Jiaozhou, and the intelligence network of the small house is basically in various places in the north and some big cities in the south, and it is difficult for Jiaozhou, a xenophobic place, to establish its own intelligence network, and it is necessary to go to Yangzhou.

Fortunately, Yangzhou is not far from Jiaozhou, and a Yangtze River is isolated.

At the speed of bronze, a day is enough time to pass, and within a day, the letter will be delivered to Dongfang Jing's hand.

Bronze immediately nodded, and Dongfang Mi entered the prepared room, and the rest of the people picked their own rooms, and then quieted down.

The courtyard is large and has its own garden, and the flowers in it are of the ordinary kind, but they are in full bloom, purple and red, and there is a gurgling stream, which flows through the garden and into a pond, in which koi fish roam, and they are very good.

Dongfang Mi quickly wrote the letter, and the bronze immediately set off for Yangzhou, and Dongfang Mi came to the garden, asked the servant who managed the garden to bring a rocking chair, lay down on it, closed his eyes, and began to heal.

Her injuries were severe, but they didn't hurt the Origin, and her soul wasn't hurt, just her body was severely damaged, but it could be repaired quickly.

A few days was enough, and Dongfang Mi began to run the exercises and worked hard to heal his injuries.

......

Yangzhou, after the bronze arrived here, it was already a day later, crossing the Yangtze River, it took a lot of time, the Yangtze River is wider than the Grand Canal, waves, and it took a lot of time.

After entering Yangzhou, Gu Tong immediately followed the instructions and found Changsheng Trading House, then showed the token, handed the envelope over, and said that it was for Changshengye.

After Changshengye received it, he would definitely hand it over to the small house, and the small house could go to meet Dongfang Jing and report the situation.

After doing these things, Gu Tong immediately returned to Jiaozhou to protect Dongfang Mi.

And in the evening a day later, the little house where the letter was received was washed and cleaned, and he entered the palace to face the saint.

The Hall of the Sage, this is an empty temple in the palace, there is nothing in it, only a futon, and Dongfang Jing likes to meditate or practice in it on weekdays.

He is here today, too, in a simple outfit, in a black cloth coat, with long hair draped behind his head, thick eyebrows and big eyes. When you close your eyes, you exude infinite domineering.

Ordinary people don't dare to look at Dongfang Jing, because Dongfang Jing's eyes are full of aggression, and when you stand in front of him, it seems that you have been seen through at once.

There is nothing to hide.

Just as Dongfang Jing was meditating, the door of the Sage Hall was knocked lightly a few times, and at the same time, a cautious voice came in.

"Your Majesty, the eunuch house next to the thirteenth princess came to ask for a meeting, saying that the thirteenth princess sent a letter to your majesty. ”

Dongfang Jing, who was in the hall, didn't open his eyes, and said, "Let him in." ”

"Yes. The eunuch outside the door immediately bowed down and sent the small house inside.

Watching the door open and the small house entered, the chief eunuch who was guarding the door was envious.

"The world says that Your Majesty loves the Thirteen Princesses, I think it is completely doting, it has been 30 years since the founding of the country, and I have guarded this hall for 30 years, and I have never seen anyone let His Majesty in, even Taishi Wenzong did not. This small house is really lucky, follow the right master, and worry about it for a lifetime. The chief eunuch said with envy in his heart, and stood quietly aside, silent.

As eunuchs, they prefer to follow a master than to become stronger, such as a small house, no one knew before, but since Dongfang Mi began to rise, everyone knows the small house around Dongfang Mi, and when they go there, someone respectfully shouts the father-in-law of the small house.

It is simply a supreme glory, which makes countless eunuchs envious. (To be continued.) )
