Chapter 136 After all, there are some changes
So many people died in Luoyang City, and it was not as important as a royal breakfast.
Neither the queen, who suffered a lot of losses, nor the crown prince, who passively suffered losses, did not mention what happened last night, just like yesterday's bloody night had nothing to do with them.
After breakfast, Li Zhi called Ruichun.
"The prince wants me to go to Chang'an to recuperate for a while, what do you think?"
Ruichun said in a low voice: "Chang'an is a good place. ”
Li Zhi sneered and said: "The phoenix falls into the treasure land, and the dragon can only go to the high mountains and Daze!" ”
Ruichun looked left and right, and then continued to whisper: "The queen will not go to Chang'an either." ”
Li Zhi smiled: "It seems that Chang'an already belongs to the crown prince." ”
Ruichun thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Chang'an belongs to the Tang Dynasty!" ”
Li Zhi glanced at Ruichun and said, "What do you mean?" ”
Ruichun said: "Your Majesty can go to Chang'an, after Your Majesty goes to Chang'an, Chang'an is Your Majesty's, and the queen can also go to Chang'an, after the queen goes to Chang'an, Chang'an will respect the queen, and so will the prince." ”
Li Zhi was surprised: "How did you come to this conclusion?" ”
Ruichun said: "Chang'an is too well-behaved, they recognize the Tang Dynasty Zhengshuo, even if His Majesty appoints a beggar as the city guard of Chang'an at this moment, the officials in Chang'an City will also agree with this new city guard, there will be no less respect, and the power will not be reduced, that is, when the officials carry out the order of the beggar city guard, even if it is the most absurd order, the officials there will definitely implement this absurd order into a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people." ”
"Whatever the order?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, for ten years, the decrees issued by Chang'an are all good decrees to rest with the people."
Li Zhi glanced at Ruichun and said, "Embarrassing the hundred officials of Chang'an?" I went back to get the twenty boards. ”
Ruichun smiled and responded.
Li Zhi shook his head and said, "Chang'an, I won't go." ”
Ruichun hurriedly said, "Your Majesty's worries are also reasonable. ”
Li Zhi smiled: "What you think of as my worries is not the same as my real worries. I tell you, if I go to Chang'an, I will definitely be able to live a hundred times more comfortable than Luoyang.
As far as the eye can see, there is prosperity, and what you hear in your ears is the peace of the country and the people, and the sound of a bumper harvest, even if there is a provocation on the border and a rebellion in the country, the Tang army can be quickly pacified.
In addition, Yun Chu, the two hundred and five, is a person who can talk and do things, and he will definitely serve me comfortably.
Don't think that he is flattering by doing this, tell you that as long as I am in Chang'an, he will carry out the decrees he expects to draw up without scruples, and will unscrupulously integrate his ideal Chang'an with the current Chang'an.
In the whole world, only when I am in Chang'an, can he dare to promote the construction of Chang'an in a big way.
You only know that I can live a very comfortable and caring life when I go to Chang'an, but you don't know that once the emperor falls into the gentle township, his death time has come.
For every emperor who wants to make a difference, which one didn't come out barefoot from the thorn forest?
Now is the best time for Datang, I still want to enjoy it for two more years, Chang'an, a gentle township, I can't go in yet.
Prepare, in three days, I will move to the Jiucheng Palace! ”
It takes the average person to walk from Luoyang to Chang'an in nine days, however, this is only a rough estimate and the actual time required may vary depending on the season, weather, road conditions, and means of transportation.
The convoy of the Yun Chu family used the marching method, so in just three days, the convoy of the Yun clan had already passed the Tong Pass.
After passing Tongguan, even if you enter the Guanzhong Plain and go south along Weishui, you will eventually arrive in Chang'an.
In the past, Tongguan because of the dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, became the most important screen in the pass, now it is different, since the emperor moved the capital to Luoyang, Tongguan this Xiongguan gradually declined because of political factors, plus the Yellow River to Tongguan constantly cut, resulting in the collapse of the two walls of Tongguan, so far has not been repaired as it should be.
In other words, the imperial court is no longer ready to repair Tongguan, and when several walls of Tongguan completely collapse, the surface of the Yellow River gradually cuts down, and the decline of Tongguan is irreversible.
It was very sad to see the gradually withering Tongguan, after all, Zhang Yanghao's ancient poem "Mountain Slope Sheep Tong Caring for the Ancient" he had not yet made.
Standing at the ruined city head of Tongguan, looking at the peaks and mountains like gathering, the waves are like angry peaks and rivers, Yunchu has been chanting for a long time, and finally gave up chanting the famous sentence of "Xing, the people suffer, die, and the people suffer".
Without it, just because he doesn't have a position like Zhang Yanghao.
Since May, there has been no rain for half a year, which has had a great impact on Guanzhong, showing signs of drought everywhere, and even half a foot of water-like fine dust has appeared on the road.
The water of the Yellow River at the foot of the Yellow River becomes turbulent after entering September, but the Yellow River water looks like a lot, but the help of Guanzhong is very limited, because the river is in a deep canyon, and the water in the Yellow River cannot be used as a source of water for watering the plains.
Even on the plains, the Yellow River naturally cuts down, hiding itself in deep ravines.
Although it was a year of great drought, the people I saw along the way did not show the panic that should be in a disaster year, because there was little water, they didn't wash their faces much, and everyone looked gray, but judging from the millet buns held by a group of dirty children, there should be a lot of food in their homes.
If the food is insufficient, where will there be children running around with millet buns, they have long been drunk gruel and become big-headed dolls with big stomachs and thin limbs, where is the energy to keep spitting on the Yun's convoy because of the dust raised by the Yun convoy?
"In the past five months, it has not rained in Guanzhong, there have been two rains, but they are very small, and they only moisten the ground, which does nothing to alleviate the drought."
After listening to Yin Erhu's words, Yun Chu took the initiative to ask the old man who was squatting on the base of the wall to bask in the sun.
"Old man, is there enough food at home to support the harvest next summer?"
The old man with in the corners of his eyes looked at Yun Chu in brocade clothes suspiciously, and immediately his face changed greatly, and he snatched the millet bun from the grandson next to him and put it in his arms, and said to Yun Chu tremblingly: "Official, where is there any extra food at home, just the little food on the little grandson's mouth, or the old woman saved it from his mouth for the baby."
Look at this baby, the hungry are all skinny and bones, this is an eight-year-old baby. ”
Yun Chu looked at the little doll in front of him who was only four years old, and she was as strong as a calf, not to mention, she was still bold, and she wanted to touch the horizontal knife on Yin Erhu's waist if she had nothing to do.
I knew that it was okay to give food to these people, and it was a pure dream to want to pick food out of their hands.
couldn't ask anything, and he didn't get a good face, so Yun Chu naturally didn't have the heart to visit the poor and ask about the hardships.
Yun Chu just left, and the old man stuffed the millet bun hidden in his arms to the little grandson, and he was still in the grandson's fart. The stock slapped and said: "The dog's day knows how to show off, if the official knows that we can eat enough, we will definitely collect more taxes this year...... Hide it and eat it later. ”
The old man actually spoke to his grandson, but it was better to say it to Yun Chu, an official, because his voice was very loud and he didn't hide it.
Yun Chu was furious, snatched half of the millet from the child's hand and took a bite, and said angrily to the old man: "I know that Lao Tzu is an official and I don't know what to hide." ”
The old man glared angrily, and Yun Chu felt comfortable.
The millet steamed bun is very real, the whole millet is made after crushing, and nothing else is added to it, it is half a pure grain steamed bun, which is very full after eating.
The family can make such porcelain steamed buns, if the food stored in this family can't be eaten for two years, Yun Chu can pay him his head.
Yun Chu nibbled on the millet bun and walked away, ignoring the thunderous and loud scolding behind him.
Tongguan is a poor place in Guanzhong, and if you want to see the good life of the people, you have to look at the Weihe River Basin.
After transferring from Tongguan to Weishui, Yun Chu couldn't help but sigh, the turbulent Wei River water in the past is now only forty percent of the past, and the river still exudes a bad smell.
This is something that cannot be helped, when the amount of water in Weishui is abundant, the sewage discharged into Weishui in Chang'an City has no time to emit a smell, so it is sent into the Yellow River, and now the water is insufficient, and Weishui has become a stinky ditch.
Yun Chu even dared to be sure that at least one-tenth of the water flowing in Weishui now came from Chang'an's domestic sewage.
It can be said that it has cleaned the people of Chang'an and stinked the people of Weihe for 300 miles.
It is said that the rivers of nature have self-purifying functions, and Yun Chu did not see this from the Wei River.
After smelling the stinking water of the Wei River for two days, Yun Chu's family finally returned to Chang'an.
Like all the officials who returned to Chang'an, no one greeted them, and no one paid special attention, so when they entered the city from the Mingde Gate, several ordinary city gate officials recognized the Yun family's groom.
When you are about to arrive in Chang'an, everyone in the Yun clan took the initiative to take off their armor, and it is a very troublesome thing to wear armor into Chang'an City, no matter who you are, bad people will register the number of armor, check whether the armor is compliant, whether the length of the blade exceeds the standard, the origin of the crossbow, whether the bow power exceeds four stones, and whether the arrow is a military standard......
Therefore, when the Yun clan put away all the minions, the convoy was almost the same as the convoy of ordinary noble families, which was too ordinary in Chang'an, after all, it was inhabited here by all the remaining noble families in Chang'an.
After returning to Jinchangfang's home, the Yun family closed the door for three days.
It's not that Yun Chu doesn't want to grasp the current situation in Chang'an as soon as possible, but the old immortal has important things to arrange, and the debate conference of the two gates of Buddhism and Taoism in Louguantai is about to open, and the old immortal hopes that the Yun family can devote himself to this matter and not be confused by Xuanzang's bald donkey.
Yun Chu didn't care much about the Louguantai Debate Conference, this was a matter of Yun Jin and Wen Huan, as for himself, he still went to the Great Ci'en Temple to meet Xuanzang.
This has nothing to do with whether Xuanzang is his father or not, mainly because Master Peeji thinks that the money that the Yun family borrowed at the beginning has long passed the three-year period, and it is time to repay it anyway.
Yun Chu washed away the dust and smoke from the journey, changed into a gray monk's robe, and left through the back door with a home-made sliced mille-feuille cloud cake under his ribs and entered the Great Ci'en Temple.
"You are not here this year, and the Tianzhu water lilies in the lotus pond have bloomed one hundred and eight, eighteen colors."
Yun Chu came, and he was naturally greeted by the host master of Peeji.
"Are you sure you didn't unplug some or transplant some? Only one hundred and eight flowers, and eighteen colors, these two conditions are superimposed, I can only say that it is impossible! ”
"Buddhism doesn't speak."
"When I was in the southwest, the great master of Buddhism crossed the sea and couldn't speak without saying words!"
"He just said too much, so he was called back by the Buddha to sit down and continue to practice, not to mention crossing the sea, are you ready to pay back?"
Yun Chuyang raised the sliced cloud cake in his hand and said, "Go and see Master Xuanzang first." ”
Voyeur Ji said viciously: "Even if Master Xuanzang agrees not to repay the money, you can't pass this level of Lao Gao, as much as three million, do you know how many dervishes it will take to turn into a dervishes?" ”
Yun Chu grinned and said: "Master Xuanzang is a real monk who regards money as dung, but you, an old monk, have been practicing with Master Xuanzang for so long, and you have not yet broken the concept of money." ”
The master of the voyeur machine stopped and said, "Are you going to be hard-hearted?" ”
Yun Chu stroked Master Peeji's wide back and said: "How is it possible, the money will definitely be repaid, it depends on how to repay the law, I heard that the Louguantai Debate Conference is about to open, and Sun Shenxian, who has never paid attention to these things before, values it very much." ”
The master of the voyeur machine did not feel the slightest nervousness when he heard this, and folded his hands and said to Yun Chu: "Amitabha, it's just a battle of words." How to win, what if you lose. ”
After speaking, the two came to the retreat where Master Xuanzang practiced.
I haven't seen him for more than two years, the moment he saw Master Xuanzang, Yun Chu was stunned, he couldn't have imagined that Xuanzang, who had been dying and old two years ago, was now wearing a white monk's robe, standing on the lotus platform of the Jingshe with a smile, and he actually had a hint of youthful charm.
