Chapter 61 Chang'an

"Down at the foot of the Bishan Mountain, the moon returns with people. ∽↗ But I look at the path that comes, and the greenness is green." Li Zhichang chanted slowly, "There is Chang'an City in front of Ziling."

For Li Zhichang, Kou and Xu's two people came to vote, it was no less than a hundred thousand elite soldiers out of thin air. This was not an exaggeration, but Kou Zhong's general made up for Li Zhichang's final shortcomings and made his foundation have already been established. As for ordinary good generals who are easy to get in troubled times today, such as after Wang Shichong defeated Li Mi, wouldn't Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie in the Wagang army also serve Wang Shichong? Li Zhichang asked Kou Zhong to be familiar with military information in the next twenty days. After Xu Xing, Wei Zheng and the other two discussed military strategies and would definitely lead the Jingzhou army to fight with him. He then took Xu Ziling into the pass himself as a helper to smuggle Yang Gong's treasures. At the same time, he also had the intention of cultivating Xu Ziling, so that he was the same as Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling and each had a heavy responsibility.

It has to be said that Xu Ziling's personality is more suitable for Li Zhichang's martial arts, and he can learn from one example and create another cardinal. One of them teaches quickly along the way, and the other learns quickly. Xu Ziling's occasional strange moves can also surprise Li Zhichang very much, just because Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong have never learned martial arts properly, and all the imaginations of learning from heaven and earth are not limited. Even though the tricks are sometimes common sense in martial arts, they can be used for granted by the Changsheng Art.

Xu Ziling said leisurely: "I didn't expect that Chang'an City was so majestic, even Luoyang was not as good as that. This shows how unique the Li family is in occupying Chang'an."

Li Zhichang showed a deep expression and said in a chanting tone: "It can be said that Chang'an City is the first real city in China. When Fengming Qishan, King Wen of Zhou set the capital here. He called it "Fengjing". King Wu succeeded to the throne and then built "Haojing" next to him. The foundation of the Western Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years can be said to have prospered from this. This is also the place where the Zhou, Qin, Han and Sui Dynasty rose. Unfortunately, this Han ancestral home is now run by the Hu political group with the Guanlong group as the main body."

Chang'an City is magnificent in scale, rigorous in layout, symmetrical in structure, and neatly arranged. There are three gates on each of the outer city on each side. The six streets that run through the twelve gates are the transportation main roads of the whole city. The Zhuque Street, which runs across the north and south, is a standard central axis, which connects the Chengtian Gate of the palace city, the Zhuque Gate of the imperial city and the Mingde Gate of the outer city. Chang'an City is divided into two parts symmetrical in the east and west, Wannian County in the east and west, and Chang'an County in the east and west, each with a commercial district, called Dongshi and Xishi. The eleven streets in the north and south, and the fourteen streets in the east and west divide the residential areas into neat 110 yards, with a shape similar to a chessboard.

Li Zhichang and Xu Ziling entered Mingde Gate. Even though Chang'an is covered with heavy snow, it still cannot change the prosperity of Chang'an. Among them, there are many exchanges between Hu and merchants. As Li Zhichang said, one of the birthplaces of the Han civilization, it is more like a gathering place for aliens.

However, the Han civilization has a considerable ability to assimilate. In addition, Hu and Han live together, there are still many Han people in Chang'an City. However, compared with the humanistic atmosphere in the south, Han people in the north are more like Hu.

When the two walked on Zhuque Street, Xu Ziling could feel the so-called domineering spirit. Compared with Luoyang's prosperity and Jiangdu's beauty, it seemed petty and simpler than Chang'an. Xu Ziling couldn't help but mutter that it was not easy to move Yang Gong's treasure out of this heroic city. Even if Li Zhichang and the four great monks discuss Taoism and destroy gods, they attracted people's attention.

However, Xu Ziling only saw Li Zhichang calmly. Facing this everlasting majestic city, he was like walking in a remote small city. He couldn't help but admire Li Zhichang's extraordinary demeanor. He didn't know how rich and colorful Li Zhichang experienced in his life. Even though he couldn't finish talking about the tip of the iceberg in three days and three nights, and under the influence of the skyscrapers in modern society, Li Zhichang was not shocked by this hero.

Li Zhichang thought casually: "Ziling doesn't have to worry about the difficulty of smuggling Yang Gong's treasure. How many days will it be before the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month? The west city of Chang'an is prosperous, so you must go shopping together. Let's go for Ziling together." It seemed as if he came to Chang'an just to visit, rather than to do two earth-shaking things.

Xu Ziling pushed his mind into the realm of Zhongyue in the well and calmed down a little. Li Zhi Chang'an's calm temperament was somewhat similar to Kou Zhong after all. He thought that although Kou Zhong was in such a state, he was afraid that he would be excited, but his heart would still be so calm.

The West City of Chang'an is indeed extremely prosperous, even better than Luoyang. Its lights are brilliant, illuminating half of the sky in Chang'an City. I don't know how much lamp oil is used up in one night. Time flies, and the West City is about to finish its sights. Yong'an Canal suddenly appeared in front of Xu Ziling and Li Zhichang. This river was ordered by Yang Jian to dig, which is more than ten feet wide and crosses the north and south, and it also makes the imperial capital Chang'an magnificent.

The stone bridge lies on the Yong'an Canal and is full of atmosphere. This is the Yuema Bridge.

Soon the two of them came to the head of the Yuema Bridge in Chang'an. A team of horses in front suddenly rode onto the bridge. The head lieutenant saw two handsome young men, Li Zhichang and Xu Ziling. He only thought of a high-ranking family in Chang'an City, and asked casually: "I don't know which family they are."

Before Xu Ziling answered, Li Zhichang smiled faintly and said, "Which child? My name is Li Zhichang, but I am not a child in Chang'an City."

The lieutenant was startled and said in surprise: "That Li Zhichang?"

Li Zhichang said: "Actually, no one in Chang'an City dares to call this name."

The captain dismounted and bowed and said, "I am directly under the Eastern Palace, Erwinhuan, who has met Lord Li."

Li Zhichang sighed and said, "If I kill Li Shimin, you should have a few words of trouble with me, but instead flattering him. If Li Jiancheng's subordinates are all people like you, they will probably not be able to become a climate."

Erwin Huan thought to himself: I don’t know that you are a moody devil. If I am at a strife with you, I don’t know if I can still keep my head.

Li Zhichang and Xu Ziling walked past Er Wenhuan, and Shi Shiran got off the Yuema Bridge and walked to the distance. Xu Ziling smiled and said, "This is the best Er Wenhuan came, just by his mouth, which shows that we have come to Chang'an City and put Master Li in the eyes of everyone."

Li Zhichang said: "Zi Ling really understands my feelings, but judging from Er Wenhuan's attitude, Li Jiancheng's situation is probably very subtle. It seems that he is not completely in the same heart and virtue as Cihang Jingzhai. Otherwise, Er Wenhuan should not be so respectful when he sees me."

Xu Ziling pondered: "This is probably caused by the different situations of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. Li Shimin wants to compete for both the world and the position of the prince. Cihang Jingzhai's support is naturally particularly important. However, Li Jian is the prince himself, and the importance of Cihang Jingzhai has been reduced a little bit. Moreover, Li Daoye killed Li Shimin will do him with all benefits but no harm. From Er Wenhuan's attitude, it can be shown how jealous Li Jiancheng is of Li Shimin."

Li Zhichang also understood this point. The Tian family has always been ruthless, and Yang Guang was the example. From this, we can also see that after Li Shimin's death, although Li Jiancheng was very capable, his temperament was indeed one point lower than Li Shimin.

Li Zhichang said: "It should be so. Ziling didn't find any trace of Yang Gong's treasure just now." Li Zhichang smiled mysteriously, and became increasingly mysterious under the night.

Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "It's true."

Li Zhichang said: "I will tell you the details later. Now let's go to the most famous restaurant in Chang'an City to drink."

Xu Ziling was shocked. It was only Li Zhichang who was going to drink late at night. However, he knew that Li Zhichang seemed unruly and actually had a deep sense of action, so he had to let it go and see what Li Zhichang was going to do.

Zuixianju opens all night long, and scholars from Chang'an City often talk big and analyze the situation in the world at this time.

A scholar sitting beside Xu Ziling said loudly: "There is Hangu Pass in Guanzhong, and the fertile land of Longshu is thousands of miles away. The wealth of Bashu can be obtained in the south. The convenience of Hu people and animal husbandry in the north. You can defend from three sides and restrain the princes in the east. Moreover, the Wei River flows down the Central Plains. Although we are still in the hands of our dynasty today, we will sooner or later die."

After hearing this, Li Zhichang shook his head and drank on his own.

When the scholar saw Li Zhichang's appearance, he came to his sense of alcohol and asked Li Zhichang: "You seem to have other insights?"

Li Zhichang put down his wine glass and said lightly: "What you said is nothing but the wisdom of the predecessors. It's just that it's just a matter of being a good person. I'm just arguing. I'm not mocking you. It's just that now is not the Warring States Period. Although the situation in Guanzhong is good, Li Yuan is not the overlord. If he really had the ambition of Han Gao, he wouldn't have made such a passive move and would not have been able to attack Luoyang for a long time."

The scholar shouted: "Dare you dare to call the emperor's name directly, aren't you afraid of implicating the nine clans?"

One of the scholars looked up and down at Li Zhichang, and said with a look of horror: "Is your surname Li?"

Li Zhichang was calm and nodded with a smile.

The scholar's expression changed rapidly. He whispered to his companions, and these people went downstairs in shame. These people were actually frustrated scholars in Chang'an City. They talked loudly here every day, but they just thought that one day if they met a nobleman who came here to drink, they stopped their knowledge, promoted them, learned civil and martial arts, and sold goods to the imperial family, which was beyond the ages. It was nothing more than this.

One of the scholars must have recognized Li Zhichang. Although Li Zhichang has a noble status, if he wants to stay in Chang'an City, it is best not to have a good relationship with Li Zhichang. It is best not to have any relationship with such people.

Li Zhi often saw these people leaving, and smiled at Xu Ziling, "It's much more pure now." Then he turned around and said, "Come here."

The guy observed his expression and knew that Li Zhichang was probably having some tricks. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What are the instructions for the young master?"

Li Zhichang said: "Get me a pair of paper and pen."

The guy prepared the paper and pen. Li Zhichang waved it and the pen dries very quickly. Without waiting for the guy to see it, he said to him: "Tell the note to Rong Fengxiang."

Rong Fengxiang got Li Zhichang's order to move to Chang'an, and Li Zhichang now has somewhere to use him. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
