Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Dragon Crossing the River and the Snake of the Land

After the abolition of the fang city system in the imperial capital, it was divided into the imperial city, the inner city, and the outer city, which was bounded by the central axis, showing a symmetrical trend.

The main gate of the imperial city is the gate of Chengtian, the meaning of "inheriting the heavens and starting the luck, being ordered by the sky", after the Chengtian gate is a huge white jade square surrounded by walls on three sides, there is a gate at the southernmost end of the square, this gate is also called "the first gate of the imperial city", it is a symbol of the national gate, it is called the big Zheng gate when the Great Zheng Dynasty is called, after the establishment of the Great Qi Dynasty, it is renamed the Great Qi Gate, just on this central axis, this gate and other idlers can not pass through, only when the great ceremony of the country, the emperor Luan will pass through this gate, as for the queen, only when the big wedding can enter the imperial city from this gate.

Daqi Gate as the "National Gate", magnificent, south to the five thresholds in the middle of the three que, single eaves rest mountain, eaves heavy ridge Xuanxi tile roof, there are stone lions on both sides of the door, one under the horse tablet, in front of the door is the royal road, the left of the royal road is "the heavenly street", the shape is like a chessboard, there is "the emperor is rich and noble a game of chess, and finally there is the meaning of gathering and dispersing when defeating", the right of the royal road is "a thousand steps corridor", because there are one hundred and ten rooms in Langfang from east to west on the left and right.

Outside the thousand-step corridor surrounds the palace wall as high as two zhang, most of the yamen of the imperial court are concentrated on both sides of the wall, outside the east wall is the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Zongren Mansion, the Qintianjian, outside the west wall is the Dadu Governor's Mansion, the Criminal Department, the Inspectorate, the Dali Temple and other yamen, the Secret Guard Mansion is within the Daqi Gate, outside the Chengtian Gate, there is a door between the six Yamen.

From the thousand-step corridor to the west, about thirty miles or so, there is a building, stretching for several miles, occupying an entire street and alley.

However, although the building is large, there is no noise and hustle, quiet and elegant like a famous mansion, bringing out a quiet and ancient meaning.

It is called Qiutai here, it is a first-class gold cave in the imperial capital, known as "ten miles of Qinhuai is not as good as the first floor of Qiutai".

Of course, since it occupies such a large area, it will not all be fireworks, and many princes and grandsons will most likely choose to feast here, if they bring their female dependents, it is definitely cleaner than the place of Buddhism.

The autumn terrace buildings are connected, the buildings are set together, the winding path is quiet, Xu Yi sits in a two-story building specially used for feasting and drinking, looking at the window, just can see the path connected with the front building, at this time there are maids with trays in and out, the demeanor is upright, the steps are light, and the eyes are pleasing to the eye.

It's just that Xu Yi has no time to appreciate these, the reason why he came here today is to wait for someone, but that person has not arrived for a long time, which makes him wait a little anxious.

Xu Yi took out a pocket watch from her arms, looked at the hour, it was just noon, and she thought in her heart that it was time to arrive.

Although his grandfather was frustrated in officialdom because of some old things, he was only one step away from the position of the governor of the capital at the peak, and there were countless old departments in the army, and his roots were deep. Later, the kid entered the army under the will of his father to climb, there was a family shadow, the road was smooth, three years ago he followed the governor Wei Ban to southern Xinjiang, and reaped countless achievements, and now he is already in charge of three thousand soldiers from the three products of the commander, which is a real young talent.

Xu Yi couldn't help but recall some things when the two of them were children, at that time they could be regarded as a tyrant in Beijing, and they went shopping in the building when they were only thirteen years old.

Looking back now, Xu Yi really misses those days.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs outside the door, and after a while, Wei Yuanyi pushed the door in, she looked around, saw that Xu Yi was the only one sitting here, and asked, "Hasn't Min Chun come yet?"

Xu Yi put away her pocket watch and said with a smile: "It should be soon, are you hungry?"

Wei Yuanyi shook his head, "Forget it, let's wait for the main lord to be together, my grandfather will also return to Beijing at the end of this year, but I have heard his old man mention this Min Chun more than once, this time it is not easy to see the real person, I want to see what kind of hero he is." ”

Xu Yi's heart moved, the metropolitan governor Wei Ban will also return to Beijing? Coupled with those few vassal kings who entered Beijing, then this year's imperial capital will be lively.

While he was talking, Xu Yi caught a glimpse of a figure through the window out of the corner of his eyes, got up and said, "The Lord is here, you just happen to be the kung fu of the front and back feet." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rush of footsteps on the stairs, followed by a young general in military uniform pushing the door in.

Xu Yi smiled: "You kid is finally here, let me wait for a long time." ”

The young general is tall and handsome, it is Min Xing's eldest grandson Min Chun, the family has high hopes for him, and he is also angry, living up to the expectations of the elders in the family, as if he has the momentum to revive the Min family.

Xu Yi then introduced to Min Chun: "This is Wei Yuanyi Wei girl. ”

Min Chun smiled: "I've heard of it, the granddaughter of the Grand Duke." ”

Wei Yuanyi bowed slightly, and at the same time looked curiously at the young commander who had been mentioned by his grandfather several times.

After the three of them sat down, Min Chun got straight to the point and said, "Lao Xu, I heard that I was bullied by my family some time ago?"

Xu Yi didn't care too much about face in front of her dead friends, and said with a wry smile: "Have you heard about it?"

Min Chun said without tabulation, "I heard about it when I first entered the imperial capital, saying that you and Duanmu Yu were planted in Jiangnan one after the other, what is the situation?"

Xu Yi sighed: "Actually, Duanmu Yu and I were both defeated by the same person. ”

"Who is so powerful over there, even the son of the dignified Duanmu Governor and the nephew of the queen mother. Min Chun said curiously.

Xu Yi's face was slightly strange and said, "Haven't you heard of the name of Gongzi Xu in Jiangdu?"

"I am in the Southern Xinjiang Army, and I am fighting with those barbarians all day long, how do I know what is going on in the south of the Yangtze River, and where is this Jiangdu Xu Gongzi? Min Chun was completely aroused, although he had not been involved in these vindictive things in the army in the past two years, but after all, he was only a young man, and it was still difficult to truly transcend the outside.

Xu Yi said helplessly: "Xu Beiyou, the son of Jiangdu Xu, is the adopted son of the elder of the current auxiliary Han Ge, the descendant disciple of the sect master of the Sword Sect, Gongsun Zhongmou, and the first disciple of the Sword Sect. ”

"That's it?" Min Chun touched his chin, "Although the family background is quite scary, no matter how powerful the family background is, can it compare to the King of Qi?

Xu Yi said softly: "If I tell you that he also defeated and retreated from the Daomen Demon Palace, booby-trapped Zhang Zhaonu, the first person in Jiangbei, and even drove Du Haixiao out of Jiangducheng and dominated the Taoist Art Workshop, what do you think?"

Min Chun's eyes widened, and he was shocked: "Old Xu, is this true?"

Xu Yi glanced at Wei Yuanyi beside him, and the daughter of the Wei family nodded and said, "It's true, there is absolutely no falsehood." ”

Min Chun couldn't help but sigh: "In this way, this Xu Gongzi is really not an ordinary person, even our fathers may not dare to provoke him." ”

Xu Yi said: "Recently, there was news in the palace that His Majesty is going to marry Xu Beiyou, and he will soon become the third emperor of our Great Qi. ”

Min Chun was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously scolded his mother, and said with emotion: "Her Royal Highness the princess is getting married?"

Xu Yi smiled knowingly.

The reason why Xiao Bai was provoked back then, in the final analysis, was because of Min Chun, this kid, that time they met the brother and sister who traveled in Weifu, Min Chun was shocked when he saw Xiao Zhinan, and before Xu Yi could speak, he had already gone up to talk to him first, but he didn't say a word, he somehow annoyed Xiao Bai, but was beaten half to death by Xiao Bai.

The two of them were a little melancholy at the same time.

The amazing woman back then is also going to marry a wife.
