Chapter 43: The City of Hangzhou

At night, the lights are on. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the entire ancient city wall becomes a sea of lights, a world of light. All sorts of neon lights are reflected in the moat, and they shine brightly. It's hard to tell if there's water in the city or if there's a city in the water.

Zhang Jiuding stood in front of the city gate of Hangzhou, looking up at this magnificent city gate, this is the capital area of Wu Yue Kingdom, Hangzhou!

About Hangzhou, I can't help but remind Zhang Jiuding of some things he remembers, this is about some history of Wu Yue!

Wu Yue Wenmu King Qian Yuanqian (AD 887 - AD 94 Liu Yiyan year), reigned Liu Yiyan 0 years, the word Mingbao, the first name Chuanqiang, after the throne changed his name to Yuan Yuan, the fifth son of Qian Biao, Lin'an people. In the first year of Qianning, he was awarded the salt and iron shipping inspector, and moved to Langzhong. In the first year of Tianfu, the Ministry of Rites was still in the book. He was once taken hostage by Xuan's observation and Tian Bao, and was killed several times, but he had to be returned. In the second year of God's blessing, he shot for the right servant of the school. Wu Yue Wusu Wang Qian Biao Tianbao for four years, into the Situ, guarding the history of Huzhou Thorn. In eight years, he was awarded the envoy of the town navy. In thirteen years, he was appointed as a naval envoy. In the first year of Baoda, he was charged with two Zhejiang festivals. In the first year of Baozheng, he was appointed to supervise the country. In the spring of the third year of Changxing, he succeeded to the throne of Wu Yue, went to the national ceremony, and used the law of the feudal town to comply with the year name of the Chinese Dynasty. He reigned for ten years, and after the Tang and Later Jin regimes, he protected the land and the people. He was successively named King of Wu, King of Yue, King of Wu Yue, and Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses. Tianfu died in August of the sixth year at the age of fifty-five. Later Jin gave Wen Mu.

In terms of the central system, the official system of Wu Yue was largely modeled after the Tang system, except for the vassals of the Central Plains Dynasty and the absence of a privy council and privy envoys, which was similar to the official system of the Tang Dynasty.

In terms of the local system, Wu Yueguo generally followed the Tang system in the local system, and adopted the local administrative system at the state and county levels. Due to the many wars and turmoil during the Five Dynasties period, a new local administrative unit, the army, was born. It was similar to today's garrison setting, but with greater powers and the status of a state-level administrative unit. The most commendable thing about Wu Yue Qian is his "people-oriented" thinking. Qian Biao often said: "The people are the foundation of the society." The people are precious, the community is secondary, and there is no need to fight, that is, so love the people. Not only did he not claim the title of emperor, but he also opposed the claim of emperor by a strong vassal domain. He earnestly admonished his children and grandchildren to abide by the courtier's festival and "do good deeds in China, and do not waste great things with a surname". "Be virtuous and know the affairs of the times, and if you meet Allah, you should quickly return to him." ”

In the eighth year of Song Kaibao (975), Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, finally eliminated the separatist regime of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and only Wu Yue was left among the ten kingdoms. The longevity of the monk is the heir of Deshao, and he is sinking in his body at this time. When Qian Hongyue, the king of Wuyue, went to visit the patient, he asked for the opinion of Yan Shou on the way Wu Yue was endangered by the Song Dynasty's destruction of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Yan Shou tried his best to persuade Qian Hongyu to "return the land to the Song Dynasty, and return to the general".

Qian Hongyu judged the situation, followed the testament of the ancestor Wusu King Qian Biao, thought of the safety of the common people in the world, adopted the last words of longevity, in order to protect the people, took the good deeds of "valuing the people and ignoring the land", resolutely entered the Song Jing Kaifeng in May of the third year of Taiping Xingguo (978), followed the ancestral teachings, decided to return the land to the Song Dynasty, and dedicated the thirteen states, one army, eighty-six counties, five hundred and fifty thousand six hundred and eighty households, and one hundred and fifty-five thousand and sixteen deaths to the Song Dynasty, which achieved a historical story that took into account the overall situation and the unification of China.

As a result, Wu Yueguo's productive forces were saved from being destroyed, and the people were also saved from suffering from misery, thus stabilizing and consolidating the political situation of China's peaceful reunification. Su Shi, a famous poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, once commented: "Its people (referring to the people of Wuyue Kingdom) are old and dead, do not know the military revolution, play at four o'clock, and hear the sound of songs and drums. This is an objective evaluation of Wu Yueqian's historical merits.

"Wu Yue is actually a good place!"

Zhang Jiuding faced Hangzhou, opened his arms, tilted his head and said to Jade, who was not too emotional.

"Hey, it's just a Shanyue person!"

Zhang Xiang sneered at this, but hearing it made him frown.

"Brother Zhang, what do you mean by this!"

"What? Am I not right?"

Zhang Xiang smiled, Zhang Jiuding could only snort coldly, for this point, he didn't make any explanation now, the ancient people's misunderstanding of Wu Yue was not without reason, if he and Zhang Xiang would be thousands of years later, it is estimated that Zhang Xiang would not believe it!

"Yes, I won't quarrel with you, sooner or later you will retract this sentence!"

Zhang Xiang shook his head slightly, his tone was not too strong, he saw that Zhang Jiuding was a little angry, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked softly: "Could it be that Brother Jiuding is from Wu Yue?"

"No, I'm from the Central Plains!"

Zhang Jiuding pushed Zhang Xiang's big head away, everyone slowly walked towards the city gate, Zhang Xiang laughed behind him, Liu Yiyan shook his head helplessly on the side, these two quarreled from time to time, and from time to time they made a fuss, not to mention Liu Yiyan, jade is commonplace!

In the past few days, although Jade's mood is not too high, it is also much better, at least she is not crying secretly in the middle of the night.

This time when he arrived at the capital of Wuyue Kingdom and saw this prosperous country, Jade's curiosity also spread along the city gate, the long passage, and was attracted by the street behind the passage!

When the four of them reached the city gate, a captain of the guard stopped them!

"Who?"

The captain of the guard was strong and full of mid-term, and his voice made Emerald Eardrums feel a slight pain, and he couldn't help but cover his ears.

Zhang Jiuding waved his hand and smiled, glancing at Zhang Xiang, Zhang Xiang reluctantly stepped forward and took out a bag.

Zhang Jiuding grabbed the bag, took out three copper coins from it, handed them to the captain of the guard, and said with a smile: "This Binye, we are from the Central Plains, we are not a traitor, I understand the rules, this is the entrance fee!"

Saying that, he put the three copper coins into the hands of the captain of the guard, the captain of the guard nodded with satisfaction, and said boldly: "The little brother knows the rules very well, but Wu Yue's entrance fee is three dollars per person, and the four of you need money for everything, and you have to search your body!"

Zhang Xiang's eyes widened, and he immediately rushed up, he only had the last fifty yuan left in his wallet, and one entrance fee would cost 12 yuan?

Zhang Jiuding's eyes were quick, he quickly dodged to the side, quickly escaped from his wallet and put it in the hands of the captain of the guard, Zhang Xiang's movements stiffened, and his body slowly paralyzed, Liu Yiyan couldn't help him crying, only to hear Zhang Xiang cry and say: "My twelve dollars, twelve dollars!"

"Oh, isn't it just twelve Wen, there are a lot of places in the capital of Wuyue, wait for me to give you a few more good pictures, you can sell them for profit, how about you eight and I seven?"

"Okay!"

Zhang Xiang's paralyzed body instantly became straight, and he elegantly sorted out his wrinkled clothes, swaggered to the captain of the guard, handed the sword to the small soldier on the side, and at the same time opened his arms to accept the body search!
