Chapter 49 The Capital

One day later, Li Jiang entered Beijing.
After checking the route at the east city gate, he led his horse into the city.
Of course you can bring your horse to Beijing at this time, and there are no restrictions on numbers.
Li Jiang was not in a hurry to find an inn to settle down. First he had to visit Tiananmen, the heart of the motherland. Oh, it was called Chengtianmen in the Ming Dynasty.
Looking at the old-fashioned buildings in Beijing and walking on the loess streets, he sighed all the way, feeling a sense of pride stemming from the nation. This will be the capital of the motherland in the future, incomparably heavy, incomparably majestic, and incomparably brilliant.
However, Li Jiang's wish to pay homage to Tiananmen was ruined. When he strolled to the center of Beijing, he did not walk onto Chang'an Street, nor could he see Tiananmen Square.
Because the entire square is not surrounded by a high red wall. Li Jiang felt depressed for a while. What should he do to surround Tiananmen Square? He must be sick!
He pulled his horse forward, and before he reached the right gate of Chang'an, the guard guarding the gate raised his gun and shouted at him: "Stop, what are you doing?"
Li Jiang had no choice but to stop and replied: "I want to go in and have a look, can't I?"
"Those who are not on official business are not allowed to enter!" The two soldiers looked at Li Jiang warily.
Seeing that they were going to take action if something was wrong, Li Jiang gave up all thoughts of going in to visit. He shook his head and walked south along the wall. He passed around Tiananmen Square and saw another gate. Li Jiang walked further and took a look.
, Daming Gate.
Oh, this is the legendary Daming Gate? This gate was demolished after liberation. Li Jiang never saw it when he came to Beijing on Earth.
I heard that the plaque on this gate is very legendary. After the Ming Dynasty was destroyed and the Tatars took over Beijing, the obvious symbol of the previous dynasty on the Ming Gate had to be replaced. However, the material used for this plaque is very precious and difficult to find.
The Boar Skins thought of a trouble-free way, turned the plaque over, engraved "Qingmen Gate" on it, and hung it up as it was in a dignified manner.
In the Republic of China, of course, the "Great Qing Gate" was not allowed to be hung on it, so the officials of the Republic of China also thought of the same method and prepared to turn the plaque over and engrave "Zhonghua Gate" on it. Unexpectedly, the craftsmen were dumbfounded when they took it off.
, "Da Ming Gate" is clearly written on the back.
"Hahaha", Li Jiang laughed out loud when he thought of this. I wonder how the people at the scene felt during the Republic of China? They must have been very depressed. Damn it, someone actually got there first. The Tatars are so shameless!
After Li Jiang was happy, he left the square and went to Qipan Street, looking for an inn to stay.
There are many inns in Beijing, so he randomly found one that looked clean and tidy and stayed in it.
To his surprise, there were many Jizi inside, shaking their heads, reciting poems and composing poems in the lobby of the inn.
Li Jiang couldn't help complaining, Spring is so early, and it's not easy to live in the capital. These goods arrived more than half a year in advance. Could it be that there is a mine at home? Even if you pass the Jinshi exam next year, there will be no official to do it for you!
After finding a hotel room with his boss, Li Jiang settled down and planned to take some time to browse this pristine ancient capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, the next few days would make him laugh or cry. He would not be able to see many of the scenic spots on earth.
Jingshan, the royal back garden, is not allowed to enter.
The Emperor of the Zhu family is still on the throne and is not allowed to enter the Ming Tombs.
Beihai, Zhonghai, Nanhai, and the Royal Garden are not allowed to enter.
The Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth are the places where the emperor worships heaven and earth. What are you thinking? They are not allowed to enter.
The Summer Palace, well, this doesn’t exist yet.
After wandering around Li Jiang for a few days, I gained very little except feeling the atmosphere of the ancient capital.
Come on, don't force me, I won't let you see this or let me in. When I'm angry, I'll take risks. I just want to explore the imperial city at night. I have to go in and visit.
On this day, Li Jiang was bored and wandered near the Guangdong Guild Hall. When he was admiring the Ming Dynasty's Beijing Office, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure from behind, Yuan Chengzhi.
At this time, Yuan Chengzhi and a group of people had just entered the gate of the guild hall. Li Jiang was sure that he was not mistaken. But he was a little confused, shouldn't Yuan Chengzhi be in Nanjing at this time? Why did he come to the capital?
With doubts, Li Jiang decided to remain silent for the time being and followed him.
There was no guard at the gate, so he ducked into the guild hall and followed the traces of people to one of the houses.
A peek outside the door revealed that Yuan Chengzhi and a group of people had already sat down and were discussing matters.
He sat at the bottom of a row of chairs to the east, with a big man standing behind him, and sitting next to him was Wen Qingqing.
Sitting above him was a skinny old man in his fifties, dressed in farmer's clothing. Next to the old man was a peasant woman in her forties, holding a child in her arms.
Behind these two people stood two men and one woman.
There were also three people opposite Yuan Chengzhi. The first one was an old man with white eyebrows. The one sitting next to him was a girl in blue clothes with a bun and a beautiful face. The next one was a white-faced man in his thirties, shaking a
The folding fan looks elegant.
Li Jiang recognized a few people. The one next to Yuan Chengzhi should be the second senior brother and his family, and those standing behind were their three disciples. The girl on the other side must be Miss Ajiu, the eldest princess of the dynasty.
In the future, Master Wei's master Jiunan Shitai.
At this time, Yuan Chengzhi was persuading Gui Xingshu: "Second Senior Brother, it's better not to worry yet. Let's inquire first to see if the medicine has been sent to the palace. Don't alert the enemy!"
Gui Xingshu remained silent, while the old man and fan waving opposite him agreed: "Yes, yes, Gui Daxia should think twice before acting."
The bright girl also smiled and nodded.
But Gui Erniang quit and said sarcastically loudly: "Are you afraid? Without you, I can break into the palace and find the medicine just like the master."
After hearing this, Yuan Chengzhi was horrified and waved his hands repeatedly: "Second sister-in-law, you and senior brother don't be impulsive. We just want to find out more. As long as we are sure that we are in the palace, I will definitely accompany you."
"Humph, I don't know if you are sincere or just pretending." Gui Erniang snorted coldly and stopped talking.
However, Wen Qingqing was worried about Yuan Chengzhi's safety and secretly pulled his sleeve.
At this time, the girl opposite couldn't help it anymore, and said in a voice like an oriole: "Gui Daxia, when we saw Master Ling was sick, we also wanted to help, but there are many experts in the palace. Unlike Fengyang Governor's Mansion, we can let you kill people and leave unharmed."
.Besides, it’s not very good for you to kill people indiscriminately.”
Gui Xingshu still didn't speak, but Gui Erniang said disdainfully: "If you kill a dog official, just kill him. What's wrong with that?"
When Ninth Girl saw that Gui Erniang regarded human life as nothing, she couldn't help but said angrily: "You..."
Before he finished speaking, a figure swept in from outside the hall like the wind, stood directly in front of Miss Jiu and asked: "Who did he kill in Fengyang?"
Miss Ninth was completely stunned and looked at this person stupidly.
However, Yuan Chengzhi and Gui Xingshu stood up nervously, and Yuan Chengzhi shouted loudly: "Who is my friend? What are you doing here?"
Gui Xingshu clenched his fists, ready to pounce at any time.
Li Jiang turned back to Yuan Chengzhi and said, "What's wrong? Junior brother doesn't recognize me anymore?" After that, he turned to look at Miss Ninth, waiting for her answer.
"Oh, it's junior brother." Yuan Chengzhi relaxed and explained to Gui Xingshu and his wife.
When Wen Qingqing saw her big enemy coming, she pursed her lips and glared at Li Jiang fiercely, cursing in her heart that this evil person had made our Wen family suffer so much.
