Chapter 498: Jade Gate (I)
Hearing Xia Zhu say this, several of them immediately turned their eyes to the window, the train has begun to climb, but the slope is not steep, but it is gradually starting to rise, so they can't feel it, but their eyes are not very clear.
Finally, when the train went up the high slope, it traveled some distance ahead, and the scenery ahead finally opened up.
"Wow!" Bai Xue, the most lively among the several people, couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and the other maids and Li Lizhi also opened their small mouths slightly, because the scene in front of them had completely changed dramatically, just now it was just a barren Gobi Desert, and only dotted green plants dotted on the Gobi Desert.
But the scenery in front of them has changed dramatically, and the barren Gobi Desert has almost quickly turned into a turquoise grassland, not only that, but the incomparably lush grassland is dotted with small purple flowers in the period, which looks extremely beautiful.
From afar, there are still meadows as far as the eye can see, and in the distance you can even see all kinds of buildings, many of which are mostly villages. On both sides of the road, deep in the grasslands, you can even see horses and cattle dotted in some places.
"Come and see here." With the shout of condensation, everyone came to the north side of the train, and through the window here, a huge city in the distance had appeared at the end of the sight, and the shelter forest planted on both sides of the national highway had also stretched into the city, and there were various buildings built there outside the city walls.
Even from a long distance, it can be seen that this is a prosperous city no less than Chang'an City.
As the train approached little by little, the city began to become clearer and clearer.
And Li Lizhen's heart began to beat wildly as the train approached, because in that city, the face she had been thinking about for several years was waiting for her there, and after several years of correspondence, she could finally see the real person today.
She had some anticipation, some panic, and some worry.
She didn't know why, maybe she was afraid that she wasn't as good as he imagined, or maybe he would be disappointed when he saw her?
……
The whole city of Yumen Pass today is extremely festive, and the whole city seems to have fallen into a carnival, even more eager than the atmosphere of the New Year, but unlike the New Year, today is the day when Huo Gang, the leader of the Han Dynasty, marries.
Their beloved leader is finally getting married, and when the leader gets married, he should soon give birth to a prince, and with a prince, the empire will have an heir, and the future of the Han Dynasty will be infinitely bright, and they certainly deserve to be happy.
Although the leader has always claimed to be the leader, they all regard the leader as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the reason why the leader has not yet been called the emperor is only because the current Han is still in the stage of development and has not met the requirements of the leader.
According to the newspaper, the chief hoped that one day when the Han would become extremely powerful, then perhaps he would ascend the throne and become emperor, not now.
But none of this matters, it's just a name, in the minds of all Han people, the leader is the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Today is Yumen Pass, oh no, today is the day of collective celebration of the whole Han people, Yumen Pass and many people near Yumen Pass have entered the city today, they all want to see the leader's wife, it is said to be the princess of the Tang Dynasty, they all want to see, what kind of woman is it, what a beautiful woman has the honor of being the wife of the leader.
And those people who have no way to get to Yumen Pass are slaughtering sheep and chickens at home today, and they are also celebrating the leader's happy day.
Everyone is happy from the bottom of their hearts, and almost all the restaurants in Yumenguan today have directly posted notices, and all the guests who come to eat today are free! Even many cloth shops, department stores and other stores have given huge discount prices today, and today they are not profitable, and everything is sold at cost price!
However, some people who came to Yumen Pass from the surrounding places to take a look at the chief's wife were unwilling to take advantage of this, and many guests who dined, regardless of the restaurant's obstruction, directly took out the food money and threw it on the table and left.
For all the Han people, they never thought that they could live today's life, and all this was brought by the chief.
Almost every household in the entire Yumen Pass has been pasted with red couplets, but not Spring Festival couplets, but a pair of festive couplets during the marriage period, in previous years, those who spent money to write Spring Festival couplets for people, from a few days ago began to write these couplets for free.
All this is a joyous carnival for the locals of Dahan, but for those merchants and some diplomatic officials from all over the world, all this is extremely shocking! Including those merchants of the Tang Dynasty and the diplomats of the Tang Dynasty, etc.
Even some folk spontaneously came to Dahan and wanted to seek some way out here, and the scene of the literati and Confucians was extremely shocking to them.
Who can defeat such a people, such a country? No one can beat it!
Just look at the spontaneous behavior of these people, if someone wants to attack the Han, I am afraid that all the people will pick up the knife and fight with them, how terrible a country where all the people are soldiers is, they know very well.
The Turks used to be considered all soldiers, but many times they still had to loot because they couldn't survive, and they could barely be regarded as soldiers of the whole people, but that kind of combat effectiveness and the combat effectiveness of these big Han people were not at the same level at all.
Many literati and officials suddenly understood what the sentence written in the newspaper by Huo Gang, the leader of the Han Dynasty, said that many cities in the Han Dynasty did not have city walls, not because the Han Dynasty could not afford to build a city wall, but because the real city wall of the Han Dynasty was not built of bricks and stones, but a city wall composed of the people of the Han Dynasty.
As long as the wall formed by the hearts of the people of the Han Dynasty does not collapse, the Han Dynasty will never collapse.
Yumen Pass is the cleanest city that businessmen from other countries have ever seen here, there is no and urine in the city, there is no garbage, the roads are very clean, even if it rains, your shoes on the street will not get dirty.
But today's Yumen Pass is even cleaner than ever, and many places can even be described as dusty.
The patrol of Yumen Pass also canceled all their vacations today, and all the patrols began to take to the streets in neat uniforms.
"Governor Zheng, you have spent a lot of money today." At this moment, on this street in the center of Yumen Pass, Zheng Ning is also standing with several other familiar shopkeepers.
"It's worth it, if there is no leader, there is no Han today, and naturally there is no us people today, what is this money." Zheng Ning said with a smile, "Don't talk about me, isn't it the same today, President Wang?" You're not a Han yet. ”
"Although I am not a Han person, but I can be the governor, and I can have a good life today, it is naturally thanks to the leader's Hongfu, this money is naturally nothing, but there is no curfew tonight, is the lantern Zheng leader ready at night?"
"Naturally, it's ready. Are we together at night? ”
"Together, together. Then let's go to Qingyuefang at night? President Wang also said with a smile.
"Okay."
And beside the two people, the restaurant behind them was already full of people, and these people were waiting anxiously.
"It's coming, it's coming." The sound from nowhere, instantly made the crowd on both sides of the street boil, and many people sitting directly stood up, looking forward to it.
"Don't crowd everyone, don't add trouble to the patrol troops, the leader believes us today, so there are no guards arranged on both sides of the street, let's not mess up, don't make trouble for the leader, the leader believes in us, we can't live up to the leader's trust." The crowd didn't know who shouted.
When some of the originally commotionous crowds heard this, they immediately quieted down a lot, and many people even echoed loudly, and some even passed on this person's words loudly. The crowds on both sides of the street that had been a little commotion soon fell silent again.
When the crowd quieted down, there was already a uniform sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Huo Gang rode out directly, and at this moment he was still wearing the brand new armor rewarded by the spirit of the Jade Gate, but he still had to change it when he arrived at the train station.
After all, this thing is not worn for marriage, but the clothes worn for marriage are not so convenient for horseback riding, so you can wear armor first.
When Huo Gang came over on horseback, the crowd on both sides of the street was still a little excited, no one knelt down, they all looked at Huo Gang excitedly, and Huo Gang, who was riding on the horse, also smiled and waved to these people, but with Huo Gang's response, the surrounding crowd instantly became more excited, and many people simply waved their hands and cheered loudly directly.
Looking at the excited crowd around him, Huo Gang thought about it and simply reined in the reins of the horse, then arched his hand at the surrounding people, and then said loudly: "Fellow villagers, today is my happy day, for some reasons, I have to close the streets of Yumen Pass, which has caused everyone inconvenience, I am here to compensate you first." ”
"The leader is gracious, we are all willing."
"Yes, the leader we are all voluntary, we can not do much for you, today I wish the leader Bai Shou Qi eyebrows and mandarin ducks to give birth to a noble son early!"
"I wish the leader an early birth of a noble son!" The surrounding crowd also laughed and spoke loudly.
"Thank you, thank you." Huo Gang also smiled and arched his hand around.
With Huo Gang's interruption, the originally excited emotions around everyone were a lot quieter. Huo Gang continued to move forward.
