Chapter 1 This noble man is not ordinary
The cool breeze is coming, and the fragrance of plum is permeating. Rushing to the morning light, comfortable and comfortable,
Ten miles of golden silk surround the jade tree, and the eight rivers connect the city to Chang'an. This is what I saw and heard in the last ten miles before entering the city.
"Whew, it's finally time to catch up. "The pine and cypress willows reined in their horses and lined up at the end of the line to enter the city. Li Bing's dart team finally arrived in Chang'an, today is the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, and in five days, it will be the New Year's Festival.
"Wow! "Sitting on the cart and looking into the distance, I couldn't see the end of the wall.
The city wall of Chang'an is a unique six long walls in the entire Tang Dynasty, and every time you meet the city gate, you will be one zhang higher. The dark black adobe bricks are built very neatly, and there is no trace of error. On each wall is a black and red battle flag, with a calendar written on it, which is the year number. On the city tower, the huge three words, it is the title of Taizong's own handwriting, simple and heavy, on the book: "Guanghua Gate".
A few days ago, there was a heavy snowfall, and the white snow covered the roof of the black city tower, adding a little bit of the agility of fireworks in the world in this majestic and solemn place.
Anzi sat beside Song Rourou and said, "I'm also coming back." It's really spectacular. Brother Bing'er is from Chang'an, and Sister Lan'er is from the non-faction, and she also lives in Chang'an, so it should be commonplace, no wonder she is not surprised at all. ”
Ying Lan'er jumped out of the carriage with Li Bing: "That's not it, my family is not from Hanzhou Tangkou, I have always lived in Hanzhou." Chang'an has been here three or four times, and he is not very familiar with it. ”
"When you enter the city in a while, Brother Song will find a place to rest first?" Li Bing straightened his clothes, and habitually wanted to take the pine and cypress willows to enter from the main gate, but seeing that everyone else was leading the horses to the side door, he realized at the moment, and hurriedly followed, and said: "He may have to stay in Chang'an for a few days, is there a place to stay?" Why don't you go to my house to live!"
Song Bailiu didn't know Li Bing's background, but he was afraid that his party would trouble him too much, and said, "Don't dare to disturb Brother Li." The last time we came to Yongda Hall to deliver the prayer post, we bought a blacksmith shop in Chang'an, and we happened to settle down this time. It's still early today, I want to send the sample first, and send it early, otherwise I will be in suspense all day long, and it will be difficult to sleep and eat. ”
Li Bing also stopped persuading, and as soon as he looked up, he was already at the forefront of waiting for the city guards to investigate.
This Gwanghwamun is a five-arched gate, with a three-zhang wide main gate in the center, and two small doors with a width of one and a half zhang on the left and right sides.
This is exactly the family system that has been inherited since the Shang Dynasty. Shuyun, under the royal family, there are four people, Shinong industry and commerce. The main gate in the middle can only be used by the royal relatives, high-ranking official families, and the highest 'scholars' among the people, and other household registrations can only go to the wrong door. If ordinary people want to go to the main gate, they must at least take Xiucai and enter the scholarly status.
Looking at the people waiting at the side gate on both sides, many of them are dressed in fancy clothes and are rich people, but these people have no fame, and the merchants are the last of the four people, only one level higher than the lowly people. Therefore, even if it is like the pine and cypress willows, the rich gentry can still only go sideways.
The city guards of Chang'an are mighty and majestic, much taller and stronger than other places, ordinary city guards wear leather armor and hold four-foot swords, while Chang'an's city guards are fine-scale armor and hold five-foot long swords. As soon as the sun shines, the scales are shining brightly and mighty, making pedestrians feel more awe of this mighty sky.
The group followed the team and slowly moved forward. The pine and cypress willow asked the dart master to lift the linen cloth, arrange all the boxes neatly, and unlock the boxes for inspection. Li Bing and a few others also followed to help.
The three city guards shouted to the pine and cypress willows to pull the carriage down the side door opening, close them one by one, and then open the box for careful inspection. The commander on duty at the Gwanghwa Gate next to him, who was still reviewing the customs clearance documents of a few talents at the main gate, inadvertently glanced at the side door, and his eyes just fell back on the paperwork, and suddenly reacted, and quickly turned his head back, taking a closer look at the man's face.
He recognized Li Bing, casually threw the paperwork to a doorman next to him, held the long sword at his waist in one hand, held his head high, strode forward, stepped out of his momentum, and walked towards Li Bing.
Seeing the man approaching him, the two looked at each other, Li Bing hurriedly gave the man a look and waved his hand slightly. The commander was also a smart man, so he changed his mind and walked to the small group of city guards and asked, "Is there any problem?"
"There's nothing wrong with this car, and there are four cars in the back. In reply, the city guard suddenly straightened his waist and stood upright, and his head appeared to be an inch taller.
The commander was also satisfied with his performance, closed a box with his own hands, and patted it on it: "No need to check, let them go!" After speaking, he glanced at Li Bing, as if he was waiting for other orders.
Li Bing also cast an approving look in response.
If Song Bailiu was amnestied, he and his subordinates quickly tied up all the boxes, drove away, and said: "It is really easy to clear the customs! I have been to Luoyang once, and it is very troublesome to enter the city." ”
Looking at Li Bing with a slight smile, he stopped again and stood at the intersection: "Oops, last time we came in from the south gate 'Mingde Gate', this time we walked from the northwest 'Guanghua Gate', such a big place, I have already lost my way, I don't know how to go to Liren City." ”
Chang'an takes Suzaku Street as the axis, and the left and right sides are symmetrical. It is divided into three parts: Waiguo City, Miyagi City, and Imperial City.
Waiguo City is the residence of the common people, eleven streets in the north and south, fourteen streets in the east and west, one hundred and ten squares in its neat and tidy manner, the layout is rigorous, and the structure is symmetrical.
At the end of Suzaku Street is the Three Gates of the Imperial City, which is the central government office and the sacrificial buildings such as the Taimiao and Sheji, and is also the administrative center of the entire Tang Dynasty.
After the imperial city, the palace city is directly north of Chang'an, which is the residence of all the royal relatives. The palace city is divided into three parts, the middle is the Taiji Palace, called "the old Da Nei", it is the site of the Daxing Palace of the Sui Dynasty, before Gaozong built the Daming Palace, here is the residence of the first emperors of the Tang Dynasty. On the east side is the East Palace, which is the residence of the prince, and on the west side is the Yeting Palace, which is the residence of the harem personnel.
In addition, there are newly built Daming Palace and Xingqing Palace in the northwest of the old palace city, and they and the old Taiji Palace, and called the three major interiors, are the places used by the emperor to deal with government affairs.
Daming Palace was built by Emperor Taizong, and after completion, it replaced Taiji Palace and became the official residence of the emperor.
Xingqing Palace was built by Xuanzong, originally the residence of Emperor Xuanzong and his concubine Yang Yuhuan, after the Anshi Rebellion, it was abandoned, and the bamboo slips became the place where the Queen Mother lived idlely.
"I'll take a few with me. It's not very far ahead. "Regarding Chang'an, Li Bing is the most familiar with it, he led the horse in front and led the team forward.
The pine and cypress willow were very grateful and thanked again and again.
The streets of Chang'an are extremely wide, not to mention ten horses riding together, even twenty horses can do it. There are many merchants on both sides of the street, and all kinds of shops are overwhelming. This is the largest and most prosperous capital of this era, the whole world, all civilizations. From Fusang in the east, to Dashi in the west, Chang'an is unbeatable;
"It's so beautiful! There are so many high-rise buildings, you can see the pagoda in the distance! My eyes are spent, and even my spirit is lifted. "Anzi didn't go to many places, and after coming to Chang'an, I was surprised that there was such a magnificent place in this world.
When Song Bailiu heard this, he also said: "The first time I came, I also felt invigorated. In fact, this has something to do with Feng Shui. I once heard that when Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty built Daxing City, he found the most virtuous and respected person in the four veins of Kanyu to make the layout, plan feng shui, and sit in this horizontal and vertical city. In order to gather the bells and spirits of the world, so that people can live a long life. ”
Ying Lan'er listened to what he said, and originally felt reasonable, but after thinking about it carefully, she asked again: "This feng shui theory, if it is so spiritual, how could the Sui Dynasty die II? Besides, later this city was intact, and it became the Tang capital Chang'an, and it has been prosperous until now, and I don't know how this feng shui is calculated." ”
After listening to this, Li Bing smiled faintly: "Actually, it's not exactly the same, the seniors that Yang Guang is looking for are indeed highly respected and have extraordinary abilities." Therefore, the feng shui of Daxing City is said to be the first in the world, and there is no problem.
It's just that there was a person in the Sui Dynasty, named Li Chunfeng, who was originally Yang Guang's 'supervisor', and he was dissatisfied with Yang Guang's lack of morality, so he privately changed the layout of Chang'an, and turned the original good feng shui into a huge perverse array, which broke Sui's luck, and Yang Guang himself was brutal and immoral, so he died.
Later, Li Chunfeng met the Lord of Ming, followed His Majesty Taizong, removed the perverse formation, and even went one step closer, adding a few strokes to the original large array made of the four veins, and the feng shui of Chang'an was raised to the upper floor, so that there was the first city in the world. After entering the city, everyone naturally felt refreshed. ”
Listening to these legends, Anzi was amazed: "But since it is done by the most powerful feng shui master of the four veins, where did Li Chunfeng change his ability?"
Li Bing said again: "Kanyu was not the fourth vein at the beginning. In addition to moving mountains, unloading mountains, sending hills, and touching gold, there is also the most powerful fifth gate, which is 'stargazing'! Li Chunfeng is the descendant of this stargazing lineage. ”
It's a pity that this matter is a royal secret, and not many people know about it.
While speaking, Li Bing and the others had already arrived in Liren City. It is also known as the West Market, and the East City "Metropolitan City", which is separated on both sides of Suzaku Street, echoing each other from afar.
The most prosperous country in the world is Datang, the most prosperous place in Datang is Chang'an, and the most prosperous place in Chang'an is the east and west cities, and among the west cities, the most prosperous place is a three-story palace.
From a distance, the purple wood black roof, the sorghum cornices, the momentum is magnificent. The palace is one hundred or ten zhang wide, with a row of seventy or eighty shops, everything, which is the headquarters of Yongda Hall. The entire West City of Chang'an was occupied by him.
The pine and cypress willows drove to the backyard of Yongda Hall, which was a wide square of 60 zhang square, and the road surface was paved with green bricks. At this moment, the caravan carriage was already standing on it
"It's not even a year later, why are there so many people. The pine and cypress willow gasped, but before the words fell, a small servant came up to ask: "May I ask how many people are here to deliver samples or delivery, and whether there is a deed of goods or an invitation?"
This little guy behaves decently and behaves very well, and the guy who comes out of the lobby is just different. Song Bailiu praised in his heart, and took out the invitation letter that had been prepared from his sleeve: "This is the invitation given by Zhang Xiangzhu last month, and we are here to send samples." We have brought some of the items listed in the letter, and some other items that are not on the letter, I wonder if we can also ask your cousin to take a look?"
Even though he knew that there was a low-level guy on the other side, he still handed the letter with both hands and saluted very modestly. When the little guy saw it, he hurriedly returned the salute: "Don't dare, don't dare." The source of goods for Hui Hui belongs to Director Zhang Xiang, please line up behind the line on the far right. If there is a new sample, it is only necessary to inform the brother who inspected the goods to report it shortly......"
After speaking, the little guy pointed to the team in front. The pine and cypress willows hugged their fists again and thanked them.
Li Bing helped drag the horse, and before he could reach the end of the line, he heard a person next to him arrogant, shouting in the direction of Songbailiu:
"Wow, you're here too, and you're really getting braver. He pretended to be pretending, swaggered to the side of Songbailiu, and said contemptuously: "If the business in Fengzhou and Yanzhou can't be done, do you want to come to Chang'an to gangsters? ”
Hearing this, he knew that these two were wrong, and Li Bing didn't bother to pay attention to it, so he didn't even look at him, and continued to help unload the goods.
After muttering in a low voice, "The villain has the ambition", she turned around and said to Anzi: "Originally, his family and my family were equally divided in the Hui business, and we both wanted to expand the business to Guannai Road, and my brother had already talked about things in Fengzhou and Yanzhou. I don't know what tricks his family used to pull more than half of our cooperative shop. That's why my brother wanted to come to Yongdatang and catch the line. ”
When she said this, she snorted and glared at the man: "He will follow us wherever we go, dog skin plaster, it's really annoying!"
The pine and cypress willow were gentle, ignoring him completely, and seeing the person in charge coming over, he hurriedly greeted him: "This lord, we are from the 'Hanlian Hall', and we have written a letter to Guitangkou before, and today we brought a sample of the goods, and I also asked Lord Zhang Xiang to take a look." ”
"Well, okay, let's unload the cargo first. The person in charge didn't look at him, but just answered, walked past him, and stood straight in front of the man just now: "Xizi, you can be quiet today, don't make trouble." It's the end of the year, not only are you here, but even the 'Zuo Shang Ling' is here today, if you mess things up, you will suffer the loss, and no one will be able to save you at that time. ”
Hearing this, Xizi nodded hurriedly: "The little one knows, the little one knows." I'll have to bother you to say a few kind words in front of Lord Shangling. ”
The steward hummed in a low voice, walked up to Song Bailiu again, and patted him on the shoulder: "You behaved very well just now, don't make trouble, and can tolerate it, which is what our Yongdatang Chamber of Commerce partners look like, and I will take special care of you in a while." ”
Songbailiu originally thought that this person would help Xizi, but when he heard this, he was relieved and hurriedly thanked him. Just as he was about to speak, he saw that the steward was staring at the small door in the front hall, and his face changed slightly.
A person came out of the front hall, in his thirties, and the pine and cypress willows looked at his clothes and bearing, and knew that the person's identity was not low.
When the steward saw the man coming, he whispered to Songbailiu and Xizi: "Lord Zuo Shangling is here, don't lose your sense of proportion, behave well." ”
Both nodded in agreement.
Lord Zuo Shangling walked around several teams, randomly picked a car of goods to investigate, and finally walked to the rightmost team, and the steward hurriedly greeted him, and was about to speak, but saw that Lord Zuo Shangling's eyes suddenly widened, looking at Li Bing, who was still unloading, and was shocked: "My God! ”
He hurriedly stepped up to meet him: "Your Royal Highness, you ...... Why are you here? Are you here to find the Third Young Master? When did Your Highness return to Beijing?"
Li Bingyan turned his head to look at him when he heard this, and smiled slightly: "Oh, it's Brother Zhou, I just arrived." After speaking, he stacked the box on his shoulder on the ground, exhaled, stretched out his thumb, pointed to the pine and cypress willows behind him, and said, "These people are my friends...... Thank you for taking care of ......"
When Song Bailiu heard this, he was greatly frightened, and looked at Li Bing blankly, dazed......
The fortune teller said that he would meet a noble person...... But this noble man ...... It's too heavy, isn't it?
