Datang: I was the champion in high school, but was persuaded to quit by the court

The fastest horse can run [-] kilometers day and night, which is [-] miles, when the overall condition of the road is good.

The so-called "Eight Hundred Li Expedited" is to send urgent information, requiring day and night to travel eight hundred miles a day.

In many cases, one horse is simply not enough to realize the [-]-mile express, and one has to change horses at the post station halfway.

Li Lizhi and the others don't need to be too anxious to go back to the palace, and they don't just walk the official road, there is also the Shu road which is difficult to reach the blue sky.

After walking like this, ten days have passed!

Li Lizhi escaped from marriage on March [-]th, arrived in Guan County half a month later, stayed for ten days, and returned for another ten days.

When the three of them appeared at the Zhengxi Gate of Chang'an City, outside the Golden Light Gate.

It is already the fourth year of Zhenguan, the morning of April [-]th!

In the morning light!

The gates of the city were wide open, and there was an endless stream of people entering and leaving the city.

After entering the city, there is also a lot of traffic. There are business travelers from Yangzhou, a coastal city, and business travelers from various countries in the Western Regions.

There are many people in the street dressed in fine clothes, rich merchants, nobles and rich servants.

Of course, generally speaking, those in civilian clothes accounted for the majority!

Wen Ya smiled and said, "I'm back!"

"Princess, look, there are more rich people in Chang'an!"

Yuchi Baolin pointed to the members of the beggar gang in the corner and said: "But there are not no beggars!"

In an instant, Wen Ya remembered this.

For a moment, she fell into deep thought!

It really formed a stark contrast. Indeed, as far as the current situation is concerned, there are more rich people in Chang'an and more wealth gathered in Chang'an.

However, there are beggars and people who can't afford to eat!

The sense of happiness under the emperor's feet is not as good as that of a small county town managed by the county magistrate.

This is a fact, an indisputable fact!

Seeing all this, Li Lizhi also had new feelings.

She said thoughtfully: "I have been in Chang'an for so many years, and I have always thought that this is the best, richest, and happiest place in the world."

"Yes, there are still many people in Chang'an who think so."

"But, not all of them!"

"As for Guan County, all the people believe that Guan County is the happiest place in the world."

"It only took Lin Hao nearly two years to achieve this step."

As she spoke, she sighed and said, "And this Chang'an City, which was rebuilt in the southeast of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty, has gone through the Sui Dynasty. Let's not talk about the Sui Dynasty. They have made extraordinary achievements in building a new capital city."

"Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui and Ming Dynasties also made great contributions to the construction of Luoyang, the eastern capital."

"But since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, our Li family has been in charge of Chang'an. It has gone through nine years of Wude and seven years of Zhenguan."

Ha ha!

"In 16 years, the management of two generations of emperors in 16 years is not as good as the management of one county magistrate, nearly two."

Having said this, Li Lizhi blushed.

She felt a pain in the face, even though she didn't want to belittle her grandfather and father's ability to govern.

However, the education she has received over the years forced her to tell the truth.

Yuchi Baolin looked in the direction of the Changsun Mansion and clenched his fists!

"It's them, these gentry who have no regard for the country, use their power to misbehave, suppress civilians, and monopolize official careers."

"It's them who make the court rookies all second-generation idiots from the gentry."

"As for Lin Hao, Qin Wenwen and others, they forced them to do that!"

Wen Ya also looked in the direction of Lu Shou's mansion for offering sacrifices to the Imperial College, and gritted her silver teeth secretly: "It's really hateful, I want to kill them."

call!

Li Lizhi sighed and said, "Their retribution will come sooner or later."

"Go, go back to the palace first!"

drive!

The three of them walked all the way, and it didn't take long before they arrived at the gate of the imperial city Suzaku.

Appeal!

At this moment, the three reined in their horses, and all eyes lit up, seeing a fresh scene.

The eyes of the three looked at the opening of Suzaku's gate.

I saw that the two groups of gold-armored Qianniu guards looked at the group of people escorted in the middle with murderous eyes.

Rather than being escorted, it is better to say that he was escorted slightly politely.

From the extent of being escorted, only handcuffs and shackles are left!

"go!"

"hurry up!"

"Don't look around, hurry up!"

The Qianniu guards pushed and shouted at the people in the middle.

Judging by their clothes, the people in the middle are not from the Tang Dynasty, but barbarians.

The man in the lead has loose hair!

You can tell the difference by looking at the hairstyle without looking at the clothes. Men in the Celestial Dynasty should have their hair tied up, not messy, and pay attention to their image.A better image of oneself is also a respect for others and a manifestation of the state of etiquette.

As for the Hu people, if they don't wash their hair for many years, it smells so bad and their hair hangs loose.

That is to say, the nobles among the Hu people only wear a headband to prevent the loose hair from covering their faces.

This is a kind of performance that is completely out of the original breath!

This is also one of the differences between the Celestials and the Hurens!

The leader is still holding a banner!

Jingjie, that is, the envoy's token, is divided into single Jingjie and double Jingjie!

When Zhang Qian, a diplomat of the Han Dynasty and the pioneer of the Silk Road, went west to Chang'an, he took a single banner and a single knot!

Single banner and single section, the left side is made of animal plush as material, white, one section by section of the banner.

White represents etiquette and friendliness!

The double banners and double festivals are different. There are white banners on the left and black banners of the same material and style on the right.

Black, on behalf of hegemony, conquest!

The left is friendly and the right is conquest, because it means that the left is first and then the right, and the ceremony is first and then soldiers.

Therefore, the double banners and double festivals are mostly used for the exchanges of envoys between the two armies before the war.

What the envoys with double banners and double knots said in the opposing military camp, that is, if you surrender, you will be treated well, and if you don't surrender, you will be killed.

What the envoys with double banners and double festivals say to other countries is nothing more than saying that if you give benefits, you will be brothers, and if you don't give benefits, you will fight.

In short, it is full of threats!

Yuchi Baolin looked at the flag in the middle of the double banners and double festivals, it was the red deer totem flag, the clan flag of the Xianbei people.

The totem of the Xianbei people is the red deer totem!

And now, only Tuyuhun is the only country where the Xianbei people rule!

snort!

Yuchi Baolin snorted coldly and said: "It's just Tuyuhun, you really dare to show off your might."

"Do you really dare to marry the princess to get food?"

"No, you were kicked out by His Majesty!"

Wen Ya smiled and said: "Although Your Majesty is not as good as County Magistrate Lin in many things, this temper is still acceptable."

Shhh! ! !

Yuchi Baolin hastily reminded, this is the door of the emperor's house, dare to say such a thing?

Wen Ya immediately covered her mouth with her hand, and almost forgot about it.

Strange, why did she say such words casually?

Why don't you pretend to be yourself, and compare your Majesty with County Magistrate Lin?

Li Lizhi looked at these Tuyuhun envoys with murderous eyes and was escorted out of the palace and then out of the city.

She frowned slightly and said, "War is inevitable."

"Go, listen to the wall!"

As soon as the words fell, she hurried back to the palace.

It's too late to plead guilty to the queen mother, she is going to eavesdrop on what the court said.

With these people gone, the court will definitely say countermeasures!

Coincidentally, Lin Hao's small court has already discussed a countermeasure against Tuguhun.

Not only that, but it was also predicted that people in the court would punish them.

She wanted to see if these people in the imperial court wanted to disturb Shengting and deliberately punish the soldiers and civilians in the South Jiandao area!  …

(Ask for flowers, comments, and support, thank you).

038: The truth of the matter, the three old friends all know [seeking flowers]

Under the sun, the world's largest palace city faces south, like a resplendent giant, overlooking the entire city of Chang'an!

This architectural pattern symbolizes the supremacy of imperial power.

And the dragon chair of the emperor is sitting in the Tai Chi Hall in the center of Miyagi!

Now 34-year-old Li Shimin, wearing a black-bottomed dragon robe and a nine-curtain flowing crown, sits on a dragon chair.

The nine curtains of Liumian symbolize the nine dragons, which means that he has the body of the nine dragons and is the orthodox emperor.

However, the position of the Son of Heaven was taken away.

The dragon pattern beam above the dragon chair, which spans the entire hall, is not perfect anymore.

The position just above his head is the position of the dragon pattern beam and the dragon's reverse scale.

Just three years ago, Ni Lin was 'pulled' by others, and wrote a threatening anti-poem full of meaning, intending to replace it.

At that time, Li Shimin really wanted to change the dragon pattern girder!

But the ministers are not allowed to change anyway, they think it is a bad omen to change the main beam at will.

We must know that the large-scale buildings in the Sui and Tang Dynasties were not about a hundred-year plan, but a thousand-year plan.

They believed that the dragon pattern beam would not be damaged for no reason!

Unreasonable damage must mean something!

After all, there are lessons learned from the past!

This dragon-patterned girder started from the time when Sui Wendi Yang Jian asked people to build a palace, and until now, it has been changed once from the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty.

On the night before the Tang army invaded Chang'an City, a crack appeared in the dragon pattern beam for no reason!

Therefore, at that position, those poems and words that had caused Li Shimin a nightmare for a long time, were just filled by craftsmen with clay and re-carved on the dragon's reverse scale.

However, no matter how whitewashed it is, the poem has always been there.
