Chapter 333: Back to the capital

The dynasty in which the era is now located, and the specific time period in ancient times, the Chen Dynasty is actually not very clear.

It was originally thought that there was a Qin State west of Hangu Pass in the west, which was in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

But after living for a while, it was not, because the living standards of the people here were closer to those of the Song Dynasty.

But fortunately, Chen Chao is sure that this is still his homeland.

Because there are many familiar mountains and rivers, such as the Yellow River, and then the Yangtze River, but people in this era are more accustomed to calling the Yangtze River a big river.

Jinling, the capital of the Chu State, was later known as Nanjing.

And the capital of Daji, the capital.

In fact, it also has a name, called Shangjing.

A few hundred years ago, when the Great Era was not divided into several countries, the capital of the country was not Shangjing, but Luoyang City, Zhongjing.

may be afraid that the Qin army will go east to Hangu and approach Luoyang, so a certain generation of emperors in Daji moved the capital to Shangjing, which is further north.

However, in recent years, many ministers in the imperial court have proposed to move the capital back to Luoyang, Zhongjing.

Because the Rongdi people on the prairie in the north are becoming more and more powerful, if they invade and plunder in the south, Shangjing will bear the brunt.

"Xiangye, give, water."

A group of people rushed all night, covered with snow, and only in the early hours of the morning did they have to dismount and rest for a while, Xu Hongdou took off the water bladder and handed it to Chen Chao.

Raising his head, he took a few big sips.

Stretching out his hand to wipe the corners of his mouth, Chen Chao took out dry food, handed Xu Hongdou some and told her to eat first.

At this time, it has been a month since everyone left Chuzhoucheng, and they will be able to return to the capital soon.

Xu Hongdou is a girl's family, after a whole month of hard work and rushing, the whole person is a lot thinner, even the delicate skin on the face is cracked and peeled by the cold wind on the road, she took the dry food handed over by Chen Chao, ate it in small bites, and quickly replenished her strength.

"Fish!"

The latter took hold of the reins and stopped the horse.

The first to return to Beijing this time, except for Chen Chao and Long Wuwei, who protected Chen Dynasty, were the leaders of the mission.

As soon as they heard that they were going back to Beijing to quell the turmoil, they said that they would come with them.

"Xiangye, it's about to arrive, why don't we go to Qingyuan to transfer troops?"

Murong Chong looked at Siye blankly, took a sip of water, and when the water reached his mouth, his frozen teeth hurt, like a knife scraping.

This place is not too far from the Changsheng Army Barracks in Qingyuan County, where tens of thousands of Changsheng troops are stationed there, and it is best to quell Li Yu's rebellion.

But Chen Chao didn't think so, because his plan did not tell a few people that he returned to Beijing to quell the rebellion this time, but he would put down the chaos without using a single soldier.

After resting for a while, replenishing their mental and physical strength, and making some moves on their faces, everyone got back on their horses.

Seeing that he was about to enter the city, Chen Chao asked everyone to enter the city in batches and from different directions, because the goal of everyone together was too big, which was easy to arouse the suspicion of others.

"Zhao Cheng?"

At the gate of the city, there were officers and soldiers who took the sign handed over by Chen Chao and raised their eyes to look at Chen Chao a few times.

"Yes!"

Chen Chao nodded.

The officers and men turned over the sign and saw that the three big characters "Imperial Medical Department" were engraved on the back, and the officers and men had a domineering appearance, but when they saw these three words, they immediately became flattering.

Carefully return the sign to Chen Chao:

"Lord Zhao, please."

Chen Chao took back the sign and stuffed it back into his arms.

It's just that before entering the city, he glanced at it, and the crusade posted at the gate of the city not far away, the corners of his mouth curled.

Next to the crusade against the text, there is also a portrait of the Chen Dynasty.

Looking at the realism of the portrait, it is not something that ordinary painters can draw

Chen Chao boldly guessed that this realistic portrait was painted by Li Yu, who loves to paint beauties, and it can be said that he hated Chen Chao to the core.

They led their horses into the city and waited for a while at the agreed place, and the others arrived one after another.

I have to say that the ancient means of investigation are still too backward, just relying on portraits and identification brands, people can be caught and ghosts, no wonder the crime rate of Daji has remained high in recent years, it seems that there is time to improve, Chen Chao said secretly in his heart.

"Xiangye, I just went into the city and heard that Li Yu burned the Xiangfu cleanly."

A lieutenant trotted over and said.

"Shhhh

Hearing this, Chen Chao couldn't help but gasp, and his face became strange.... Li Yu's guy is really not a thing, if people can't catch it, they will take the empty house, but they can be angry.

Dog stuff!

scolded, Chen Chao felt a little pity.

The Xiangfu on Kuishou Street is also the first home of the Chen Dynasty in this world, someone took advantage of your absence and burned your house, are you angry?

With a hard sip on the ground, Chen Chao rubbed his nose and led everyone along the bustling street towards their destination.

I walked for a long time, and at the end of the line of sight, I saw an atmospheric mansion.

When everyone saw the payment on the plaque, they were shocked and went home.

But Chen Chao didn't care, put his two hands into his sleeves, circled his head, and came to the back door of the mansion.

For a big family like this, there is also a gatehouse at the back door.

There is not only a gatehouse, but also two men who look like guards standing at the door.

Chen Chao and his party approached, and the guards immediately cheered up and straightened their waists.

Without waiting for them to speak, Chen Chao casually threw the waist card to the guards.

When the guard took it in his hand, his pupils shrank suddenly, remembering what the old man had commanded them years ago.

It is said that if one day, someone comes with the waist card of "Zhao Cheng", and he must be treated with great respect.

Holding the waist card to Chen Chao with both hands, the guard hurried back to the house to report the news.

After a short time, everyone was led by an old man who looked like an old butler and entered the mansion through the back door.

"Xiangye, this is the mansion of the rebel leader, will it be dangerous?" Someone followed, whispering a reminder.

Not only him, but other people who didn't know also looked at Chen Chao and felt sad in their hearts.

This mansion is no stranger.

It was the joint Li Yu who launched a mutiny, and now the biggest hero by Li Yu's side, the mansion of General Xu Boyan of Guide!

Now that everyone is in Xu Boyan's mansion, aren't they sheep in the mouth of a tiger?

Chen Chao raised his hand and silenced everyone, without much explanation.

Following behind the old butler, bypassing a little corridor, a tall figure strode out of the main hall at the sound of the voice.

The popularity of the person is extremely extraordinary, and his face is ruddy, it is Xu Boyan who holds 200,000 Xu Jiajun.

Xu Boyan walked down the steps quickly, although everyone changed their faces, Xu Boyan still recognized at a glance that the one who started was Chen Chao, and bowed:

"I've seen the prime minister!"

The crowd was amazed again.

In other words, when Xu Boyan saw Chen Chao, he shouldn't have shouted...... Come on, grab it.

How is this attitude?

Now, the positions of the two are completely different, besides, Chen Chao also had a part in Concubine Ling's affairs at the beginning, but he stabbed Concubine Ling to death.

Between the two, there is a revenge for killing women!

"General Xu, fortunately!"

Chen Chao bowed his hand slightly, and followed Xu Boyan into the main hall.

After walking a few steps, he saw that everyone behind him was stunned in place, and reminded: "What? Won't you come in and sit down? Want to stand outside? ”

The crowd looked at each other, exhaled, and immediately followed.

Entering the main hall and finding a place to sit down, everyone was still nervous in their hearts, and secretly thought that Xu Boyan would be in trouble on the spot for a while, how to counter it.

On the contrary, Chen Chao sat next to Xu Boyan, relaxed and indifferent, and looked at a girl who came in to pour tea with meaningful eyes, with a smile on his face:

"Is the injury healed? I'm sorry for the heavy hands at the beginning. ”

The girl pouring the tea looked at Chen Chao, Fufu's body, and said softly: "Thank you Prime Minister for your mercy at the beginning, it's no longer a problem." ”

Standing up straight, the woman continued to pour tea, very docile.

If Emperor Yongxing and Yang Changye were present, they would recognize this woman, this woman is the concubine Ling, Xu Boyan's daughter Xu Zhishu, who died a long time ago.
