Emperor Hui was in the fifth year of spring and March

Zhang Kai, the governor of Yanmen, shook off the wind and dust, rode across the bridge, and returned to the splendid and prosperous Chang'an from the north.

"Whew, I'm finally back." Looking at the Chang'an City Tower from a distance, the sixteen-year-old little scholar almost cried and muttered, "It's so strange that the son is not good to stay in Chang'an, but he prefers to run to the border alone." ”

Zhang Kai listened immediately, smiled slightly, and didn't explain, but said, "Okay, I'll be home soon, why don't you go quickly." ”

The tall and majestic Hengcheng Gate gradually appeared in front of them.

"Ah," Rui Ze sighed in surprise, "but in two years, this Chang'an City seems to have changed a lot. "Standing in front of the Hengcheng Gate, they almost looked like strange guests from outside.

"Hmm." Zhang Kai rode on the tall horse, stared at it and responded lightly.

In the third year of Emperor Hui, when he left Chang'an for the north, Chang'an City was only half of the city wall. Two years later, he returned to Chang'an, where the solemn and thick walls that surrounded Chang'an had been completed, silently guarding the Han Dynasty's Kyoto.

Chang'an City has a total of twelve gates, three of which are in each direction. Hengcheng Gate is the most important gateway to Chang'an from the north. More than ten zhang high, the door base is built with ashlar stone, and the city gate tower is made of paulownia wood. Under the gate of the four Ading City, there are three doorways, and the doorway in the middle is closed on weekdays because it is only for the emperor to travel. Another two doorways on the left and right, left out and right in, the order is the same.

He rode into the city, but was stopped by the halberd of the soldiers guarding the city gate, "My lord," the soldier in armor raised his head and said politely but not humbly, "You are coming from the north, if you want to enter the city, please show the entry documents." "The young soldier had a youthful and courageous look on his face, although he was of humble status. But it doesn't seem to be afraid because of this, and there seems to be a vigorous and upward spiritual power in the body.

Zhang Kai smiled and turned around and ordered, "Ruize." ”

The captain of the city gate walked down from the city tower, checked Zhang Kai's entry documents, held them in both hands, and said respectfully with his fists, "It turned out to be Captain Zhang, don't blame us for embarrassing adults." Because last year, the Huns infiltrated Chang'an and kidnapped the son of the eldest princess. Not only was Her Majesty the Queen Mother furious, but our ordinary soldiers and civilians were also very disgraced. You said. The capital of the dignified Han Dynasty actually let a group of Hun cubs go in and out of a no-man's land, if they put a fire. Tsk, so this spring everyone enthusiastically completed the last section of the Chang'an city wall. The adults were officials at the border, and from time to time they had to resist the Xiongnu invasions, which was really admirable. Then please enter the city. ”

Zhang Kai was slightly stunned. The son of the eldest princess, that is, Zhang Yan, the son of the Marquis of Xuanping.

In the past, when he was by Ah Yan's side, he had seen that little child a few times, who was very beautiful and very clingy to his sister.

Ah Yan. How is she now?

Huayang Street is one of the eight streets of Chang'an City, spacious and neat, with a width of 20 zhang. The middle is the royal gallop road, and both sides are for pedestrians to walk. Because there were many pedestrians on the street, Zhang Kai dismounted and walked along the left side of the street with the reins of the horse. There is quite a lot of excitement on the road, and everyone who passes by the people of Chang'an. There were happy smiles on their faces.

"Rizer." Zhang Kai turned his head and called.

"Hmm, young master?"

"You just didn't say that. I don't know why I'm letting Chang'an have a good life, but do I have to go to the border? Zhang Kai smiled.

"Chang'an City is naturally very good. It is precisely because of the bloody battles of countless soldiers in the border areas that they can live in peace and worry. Zhang Kai said, "In order to protect the smiles of these people, I am willing to go to the border." ”

Ruize was dumbfounded for a moment. Looking at the master who walked leisurely in front. Many times he looks up to this master, he may not understand what Zhang Kai thinks, but at this time, looking at Zhang Kai's back, he suddenly feels noble.

When passing through the East Market, I suddenly heard a call from the upstairs on the street, and a person poked his head out of the Qiongyang restaurant. Lazy to take the stairs, he jumped directly from the restaurant, and in the exclamation of everyone, he held up the flagpole with one hand on the restaurant and landed safely.

"Haha," Fan Yan laughed loudly, "I was up there just now, and I thought I had recognized the wrong person." He patted Zhang Kai's shoulder vigorously and smiled with a mouthful of white teeth, "When did you come back, why didn't you inform our group of brothers?" It's just so uninteresting. ”

"Didn't you just enter the city?" Zhang Kai didn't think it was wrong, and said with a smile, "I haven't entered the house yet." I saw it with your sharp eyes. ”

Fan Yan smiled and narrowed her eyes, "So, are you going back to take a bath?" Or go up with me for a drink? ”

"Even if you're tired." Zhang Kai slapped his palms and smiled, "This glass of wine is also to be disturbed." ”

"Good wine." Zhang Kai praised, putting down the wine cup in his hand.

"This is the emerging steamed wine in Chang'an in the past year. Damn, Lao Tzu has been known as no wine since he was a child, until he drank this steamed wine, and then he knew that he dared to think that he was not drunk in a thousand cups, but all he drank was water. ”

The two laughed, Zhang Kai turned his head, faced the bustling pedestrians on the street by the window, closed his eyes and listened to the people's voices, and said, "I didn't think it in the north before, but now when I return to Chang'an, I find that I miss the bustle of the East Market." ”

"Bijiang, you come back this time," Fan Ling poured his wine and asked curiously, "Are you planning to ......?" ”

Zhang Kai smiled lightly, "Counting it up, Lord Wu Guoweng was full of filial piety as a father at the beginning of this year." So I took a leave of absence for half a month and came back to get married. ”

"Congratulations." Fan Yan hurriedly congratulated him, "Hehe, thinking about the demeanor of your Chang'an Jiazi back then, walking on the street, there are always countless young women looking back and lingering. The two royal lords are very fond of you, which is really enviable."

"What do you want to do in the past?" Zhang Kai shook his head and laughed at himself, "Now, the people of Chang'an are afraid that they won't recognize me." ”

"Nothing." Fan Yan laughed, looked him up and down, and said, "Although you have been to the border for two years, you have tanned and grown stronger." It's a little worse than me, and it looks a little bit more dusty, but it's still very good. Those Chang'an women didn't dare to talk to you, but they were afraid that your unmarried lady was really tough. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Kaiqi said, "What do you say?" ”

Fan Yan patted his legs and smiled, "Don't you know, Lord Wu Guoweng looked at Wen Jing Xianshu, but he couldn't rub the sand in his eyes. When the Marquis of Heyang did not die, she ran to the women's mansions who claimed to admire you one by one, and no one was allowed to think of you. My wife went back to her parents' house, and when she came back, she laughed and told me that even the little girl of the Cao family, who had just turned 12 years old, was taken care of by her. Later, the daughter of the noble family in Chang'an City privately nicknamed her, hey, called Rouge Tiger. Well," he rubbed his chin and laughed, "there is such a Rouge Tiger in your house, but I'm afraid that after you get married, you will no longer be able to twist flowers and grass." ”

Zhang Kai said lightly, "Where can the wife's relatives take care of the man's affairs outside?" That being said, there was a clear smile in his eyes.

"Period," he asked, "I have been in the north for a long time, and I don't know the situation in Chang'an, but Captain Hengmen said that a few days ago, the Huns sneaked into Chang'an to kidnap the son of Xuanping, what is the matter?" ”

Fan Yan was stunned and said with a smile, "This is indeed the case." On that day, His Majesty and the Queen Mother were furious. Liu Ying even left the palace for this reason and ran around all night, "but ......", although the prince of Xuanping is noble, is it worth the emperor to do this? Fan Yan has not been undoubted, but, "I am a Changle general, and I am not very clear about this." ”

Zhang Kai smiled slightly, "The queen has always had a friendly relationship with her sister and brother, and she should also be full of her heart. Yu Zhi," he hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Do you know how Your Majesty and Ah Yan, their husband and wife, are going on?" ”

When Zhang Yan got married, he had already gone to the Northland, and later heard the news. I was a little surprised. Ah Yan is a too beautiful girl, and Your Majesty, it's not bad, it's just that when they are together, he is always a little pessimistic.

Fan Yan put down his wine glass and suddenly lost his appetite. asked with a wry smile, "You care about Ah Yan so much, aren't you afraid that the owner will be unhappy?" ”

"I've always treated Ah Yan as my own sister." Zhang Kaizheng said.

Fan Yan smiled bitterly and drank a large amount of loyal wine, and slammed the wine cup on the case.

"I've been watching it for two years, and I haven't seen the doorway. If you want to say that they are not good, I have seen Your Majesty and Ah Yan many times over the years, and they appeared in front of people together, and they were naturally very intimate between laughter and laughter. But if you say okay," Fan Yan smiled bitterly, "Bijiang, I have been married for a few years, but I always feel that there is something wrong between them, it seems that there is always something missing, not like a real husband and wife, but like-"

Like an uncle who was not married before, an uncle who cares for him gently, and a niece who is innocent and carefree.

He sighed and bowed his head, "Perhaps, they shouldn't have gotten married." Although there is no etiquette that says that uncles and nephews cannot get married, I always find this marriage strange. My emperor's cousin is really a decent person," he shook his head repeatedly, "If you don't know Ah Yan, forget it." But you and I have watched her grow up. Watching from the sidelines, it was really distressing. Now, they're out on patrol. I don't know how? ”

"Oh?" Now Zhang Kai was surprised, "What, isn't Your Majesty in Weiyang Palace?" ”

"Hmm." Fan Yan nodded, "Your Majesty was very filial to the emperor in advance, and he has been missing his homeland, and recently he finally got free, just three days before you came back, he took Empress Zhang to visit Xingpei County together." Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that I am a Changle household general and have a job, I would really want to go with Your Majesty. ”

He sighed, "I miss Peixian too." ”

Pei County, the place where they were born.

Pei County

Surabaya passes leisurely, and Peidi is an endless plain,

The casual palace people lined up in a long line of honor guards, following far behind. Zhang Yan walked along the river in the fields and said with a smile, "Well, this is Peijun." ”

"yes." Liu Ying looked at the wheat seedlings in the field and said with a smile, "Isn't it beautiful?" ”

"Hmm." Zhang Yan nodded happily.
