After leaving Qiufeng Village, Xie Xun and others had a smooth journey, without encountering other accidents, swimming up the river, and arrived in Luoyang after January. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Luoyang is also known as Zhongzhou, because it is located in the center of Kyushu, the city has been built in three generations, it is the hometown of the emperor since ancient times, all dynasties and dynasties, all built here.

Although the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty lived in Chang'an, Xijing, Luoyang was also a veritable eastern capital, and there were also imperial palaces and hundreds of officials in the city.

You know, Luoyang's prosperity is more than Chang'an at this time, Luoyang is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, less war, and connected to the Grand Canal, north and south goods can be easily transported here.

In contrast, when Chang'an was in Suzong, the situation deteriorated, the imperial court lost one after another on the border, and the surrounding tribes that were originally attached to it rebelled one after another, turned the spearhead, and invaded the surrounding territory, so that the trade route from Chang'an to the Western Regions was also interrupted from time to time, and it was not as good as before.

More importantly, Chang'an was also broken by Xirong twice, although the imperial court was in Luoyang at that time, it was not damaged, and it was quickly recaptured, but after being plundered by thieves, it was also a sign of decay.

As for moving the imperial court from Luoyang back to Chang'an, it was the work of the former Son of Heaven, he believed that the border defense was not solid, but the imperial court was too far away from the frontier, the understanding of the border situation was not timely enough, and there were too many mistakes in decision-making.

"The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies. These were his words at the time.

It's a pity that his ambition was probably at the time of his first ascension to the throne, or the court bureaucracy was too strong, and he couldn't do anything about it, and in the end he was still like his father, indulging in lust all day long, ignoring the government.

As for whether taking Chang'an as the Son of Heaven is useful for guarding against border problems, it should be said that it is still useful, at least in these years, except for when the new emperor ascended the throne, there has been no situation where he has been beaten to Chang'an by foreign races.

Although this still made many people worried, so that after the last Beidi retreated, the regent Empress Dowager proposed to move back to Luoyang.

As for why it was not relocated in the end, it was probably a secret matter of the imperial court, and there was no circulation in the market.

Luoyang is worthy of being the oldest city in Kyushu, the city walls are tall and majestic, reflecting dazzling light in the sun, the banner above the city tower is waving in the wind, and the soldiers with spears are in golden armor, all of them are strong and burly, and their waists are straight, and they scan the people coming and going below with sharp eyes.

Even the soldiers guarding the gates, unlike other places, neither ate nor flattered.

It really is the capital of the first good!

Xie Xun had already received the Yeji giant bow into the Nine Willow Bag on the way, and this thing could not be brought into Luoyang City!

Zhang Buping and Lingyan asked, and he only said that he had found a place to hide and would take it when he left the city, but the two of them were not suspicious.

But even so, Xie Xun and the others still encountered trouble when they entered the city.

It turned out that although he put away Yeji, Qingwu was still carrying it, Qingwu was a giant sword, weighing thirty-six pounds, and he couldn't carry it on his back without attracting attention.

The guards guarding the city felt that this sword was forbidden, so no matter how Xie Xun said, he still didn't want him to go in.

In the end, it was Yang Lin, the captain of the city gate guards, who came out and put Xie Xun in.

Yang Lin guessed from Xie Xun's giant sword that he was probably a member of the Xie family, because the Xie family's giant sword was a status symbol, and he happened to have an old relationship with Xie Ming, so he sold his favor.

As for whether Xie Xun's Qingwu giant sword can enter the city, it is actually difficult to define, because according to the law of the Great Zhou, the people can wear a sword, as for this sword, there is no regulation on the shape and size, but one of the duties of the city gate guards is to guard against dangerous weapons entering the city.

After thanking Yang Lin, Xie Xun and the others went into the city.

The Central Plains has a strong martial style, and it is an ancient capital for thousands of years, and many famous families have their roots in Luoyang, such as the Song family, which is one of the four major families with the Xie family.

According to the original plan, when he arrived in Luoyang, Lingyan should be separated from Xie Xun, but that was because Xie He was afraid of troublesome Xie Xun, but all the way down, Xie Xun and Lingyan were quite compatible, so naturally he didn't mention it anymore.

Although Xie Xun was in a hurry, it was impossible to leave in such a hurry when they arrived in Luoyang, they planned to play in the city for a day before leaving.

A few people wandered all the way in the city, and unconsciously arrived at the foot of the imperial city, the red walls and yellow tiles of the imperial city, carved beams and painted buildings, more than a step higher than the surrounding buildings, several people praised the magnificent and majestic imperial city, after all, they were the first time to see.

When he got closer to the palace gate, Xie Xun suddenly felt as if his breath was suppressed by something.

He was a little farther away, and when he looked at it with his qi technique, he saw a huge five-clawed golden dragon entrenched on top of the imperial city, and he couldn't see the head but the tail.

Xie Xun secretly thought: "The Emperor of the Dudao is the true Son of Heaven, but this is true, but this dragon qi is so illusory, I don't know if it is because the Son of Heaven is in Xijing, or if this Great Zhou Qi is about to run out?"

This imperial city is guarded by forbidden troops, Xie Xun has the heart to go in and explore, with his skills, no one can find him, but Zhang Buping and the others are inconvenient, so he has to give up.

Leaving the imperial city, several people went to Luoyang's Fang Market, which is no different from other places, all of them are big merchants and hawkers, shouting and selling, pedestrians on the street, rubbing shoulders one after another, so lively.

The three of them bought a string of sugar gourds, feeling the sweet taste of rock candy while looking at this prosperous world.

They walked for a while, and Zhang Buping found a group of people gathered in front of him, and said, "I don't know what is going on in front of me, why don't we go and have a good time." ”

Since it was out to hang out, Xie Xun and Lingyan had nothing to do, and when they walked in, it turned out that someone had opened a ring here, and the Tao was awarded 5,000 taels of silver for the first place, 3,000 for the second prize, and 1,000 for the third prize.

This amount is so huge, so that Xie Xun and other rich people are a little surprised, he is not short of money, and he has no interest in it, but Zhang Buping and Lingyan on the side are quite excited, and they look eager to try, such a large sum of money, if they can get it, it is enough for them to start a family.

"You say, 'His bounty is so great, is there something in it?' Lingyan said, he didn't believe that the people who opened the ring had too much money to make money, and they came here to scatter their wealth.

"I don't know. Xie Xun smiled and shook his head, he didn't have the ability to see through people's hearts.

"But according to my guess, he probably has something to ask this winner, he has a short hand, he really took such a large sum of money from others, what do you want to help you with, are you embarrassed to refuse?" Xie Xun said again.
