Chapter 7 Prosperous Tang Dynasty
Cui Jiu took the jade pendant and put it in his arms.
Pei Shaoqing also reminded: "Uncle Jiu, the first thing he did after breaking into Cuiwei Palace was to negotiate conditions with the guards and ask the court to give all guards a legal identity."
"To create such an illusion,"
"We kidnapped the princess in exchange for a legal status."
"This is impossible." Cui Jiu said, "The court will not agree."
The guards and captures the city are mixed with fish and dragons, which is like a criminal offender who is punished and even a murderous crime.
Therefore, it is impossible for the court to give these people legal identities.
"I know it's impossible." Pei Shaoqing said, "The price is asking for a lot of money, just to delay time."
Princess Taiping sneered: "He is to save your life. As long as you can drag me back to the palace in Cuiwei Palace, I will naturally beg my grandfather and my grandmother to forgive you for your death sentence."
"Although you people have mistakes first, you can correct them when you know your mistakes, and that's great."
"And no matter what, you have saved the life of this princess, so I will plead for you."
Pei Shaoqing glanced at Princess Taiping and thought to himself that this little girl is actually not bad by nature, at least she is still a good person now.
However, Pei Shaoqing still reminded Cui Jiu: "Uncle Jiu, even if the princess pleads with him, the officers and soldiers may not be very friendly to us, so everything needs to be tolerated."
Pei Shaoqing was worried that Cui Jiu and the others would abide by the rules and refuse to disarm.
Cui Jiu said: "It's just a surrender, it's not really a surrender, uncle understands."
After saying that, Cui Jiu said to Cui Erlang again: "You stay to protect Dalang and the princess."
"Here." Cui Erlang agreed and stood behind Pei Shaoqing.
Cui Jiu waved his hand to the other guards and shouted in a low voice: "Go!"
Watching Cui Jiu and other guards protect Zhang Xiaoyi and Pei Shaoqing whispered: "Uncle Jiu, don't worry, Hechuan guards can live a good life soon after more than 3,000 guards in Hechuan will soon!"
...
After more than an hour, it was estimated that Cui Jiu and the others had arrived at Cuiwei Palace, so Pei Shaoqing took Cui Erlang and Princess Taiping down Zhongnan Mountain and headed straight for Chang'an.
After getting on the official road, there were more and more pedestrians on the road.
Most of them are the people around them, and they are ready to go home after watching the lanterns.
A team of fully armed cavalry suddenly rushed from the front.
Cui Erlang subconsciously touched his right hand and prepared to draw his sword.
Pei Shaoqing immediately shouted: "Don't move, just move forward boldly."
Cui Erlang forced his anxiety and walked forward, and his movements became no longer coordinated.
Seeing Cui Erlang walking forward with his hands and feet, three black lines immediately floated on Pei Shaoqing's forehead.
Princess Taiping laughed out loud, and her pretty face covered by the soil was also red and plain.
Fortunately, the cavalry was in a hurry and rushed past, not paying attention to Cui Erlang's abnormality.
"Hey, what's your name?" Princess Taiping fell behind and walked side by side with Pei Shaoqing.
After spending time together, Princess Taiping has gradually put aside her vigilance towards Pei Shaoqing and others, and even thought that these guards were loyal and interesting.
Pei Shaoqing ignored Princess Taiping.
Cui Erlang, who was in front, rushed to answer: "His name is Pei Shaoqing, and he is the leader of our generation, so you can call him Pei Da or Dalang."
"Your surname is Pei?"
"Wenxi Pei?"
“Which room is from?”
"Pei Xingjian's middle-aged wife's room?"
"Or it is Pei Yan's horse washing house?"
"Or it's from the other three rooms?"
"You Pei family is known as the first generation in the past five hundred years."
After getting familiar with each other, Princess Taiping was like a lark, chirping and talking non-stop.
Pei Shaoqing frowned and changed the subject: "Do you know Di Renjie?"
"Di Renjie? Of course I met him." Princess Taiping said, "He is the Minister of Dali Temple and is quite capable. I often hear Grandpa and Mother praise him."
Speaking of this, Princess Taiping suddenly reacted.
"What do you mean, are we going to find Di Renjie?"
"Yes." Pei Shaoqing said, "I heard that Di Gong was a good official and was loyal to the Tang Dynasty court. Others were not trustworthy, but Di Gong was absolutely trustworthy."
The two of them walked towards Chang'an City as they spoke.
Along the way, I met several groups of soldiers.
However, these groups of soldiers were in a hurry.
There was no intention of stopping to check the three of them.
As soon as it was approaching, Pei Shaoqing and the other two came outside Mingde Gate.
Mingde Gate is the south gate of Chang'an and the largest city gate.
Pei Shaoqing estimated that Mingde Gate was at least fifty meters wide and was magnificent.
There are five door holes at the city gate, each door hole is at least six meters wide and seven or eight meters high.
There was a group of brown-haired and blue-eyed Hu people who had arrived in Chang'an for the first time. They were pointing at the city tower, and their faces were shocked and admiring.
Mingde Gate is guarded by the left and right guards.
At this moment, the guards on both sides were checking the pedestrians.
Now even Princess Taiping became nervous.
Because just this morning, she was almost assassinated by the right guard.
"Don't be nervous." Pei Shaoqing whispered, "They don't check on those entering the city at all."
Princess Taiping looked closely and found that the people who only found out that the people who came into the city were allowed to leave the city, and even asked a question.
The three of them easily entered the city from Mingde Gate.
Although Pei Shaoqing incorporated the memories of this world, when he saw Zhuque Street with his own eyes, he was still shocked by the spectacular scene in front of him. The streets were so lively!
According to historical records, Zhuque Street is more than 150 meters wide!
Pei Shaoqing took a look and found that 100 meters is absolutely more than 100 meters.
Locust trees were planted on both sides of the street. The two rows of locust trees were like sentinels, ranking from Mingde Gate to Zhuque Gate in front of the northern imperial city. The entire Zhuque Street was more than five kilometers long!
But there are really many pedestrians, cars and horses on the street.
The street, which is more than 100 meters wide, is squeezed out.
Even the palace soldiers wearing bright light armor could only squeeze forward little by little in the crowd.
Pei Shaoqing, in his previous life, once visited Tiananmen Square during the National Day. The crowds of people on the square left a deep impression on him, but the Zhuque Street in front of him was even better than Tiananmen Square during the National Day!
Because Tiananmen Square is simple and there are many people, and in addition to the large number of people and cars, the Zhuque Street in front of you also has a large number of juggling, singing and dancing, stall vendors... and countless lanterns!
Standing inside Mingde Gate and looking north, I saw countless lamp wheels, lamp buildings, and lamp trees standing on both sides of the entire Zhuque Street. The most spectacular lamp building is fifty meters high and twenty rooms are as wide as the light building. The lamp building is full of pearls, jade and gold and silver jewelry. When the wind blows, it sounds like the Qiong Building in the fairy world.
Under the lamp wheel, lamp building and lamp trees, many noble ladies in gorgeous clothes, gold hairpins, pearls and jadeites mixed with folk women in cloth dresses and hairpins, singing and dancing hand in hand.
Pei Shaoqing has been used to the prosperity after a thousand years.
