Looking at the majestic city, Du Fuwei murmured slightly infatuatedly, without the temperament of a heroic leader at all, but with a lot of admiration and reverence.
Next to them, Gao Biaoren was also very tired. They arrived at Wuguan Pass, and they were very tired after going back and forth for many years.
Fortunately, he was still quite used to bowing and horse riding. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to ride a horse along the way, and his hips would have been worn out.
But this did not stop him from despising the bumpkin. He had never seen Chang'an, haha... He just followed him all the way. Although Du Fuwei's words and deeds were a bit vulgar in his opinion, they were indeed extraordinary.
There is not much difficulty in talking to him. This person is quick in thinking and thoughtful in his words. Especially in terms of demeanor, he is really incomparable to ordinary people from aristocratic families.
Du Fuwei often talked about various things overseas, which made Gao Biaoren yearn for him...
So he was not negligent along the way, and looked completely different from when he greeted Pei Xingyan. Of course, he could not be negligent. Pei Xingyan was just Dou Jiande's envoy, and Du Fuwei was a prince.
In fact, Gao Biaoren was also very curious about why Du Fuwei defected to the Tang Dynasty. Even if he surrendered, he wouldn't just bring his whole family to Chang'an? Aren't he afraid of being killed?
Du Fuwei's bizarre behavior has caused confusion to many people, and Gao Biaoren is just one of them.
He asked many questions along the way, but in his opinion, all he got were lies, such as admiring the supreme sage, wanting to settle in Chang'an, etc. It would be foolish to believe it.
He just assumed that Du Fuwei didn't want to tell the truth, so he stopped asking. He still had to wait and see about the situation in Jiangzuo. Once Du Fuwei left, it wouldn't be surprising if there was another owner there. It was Du Fuwei.
I'm afraid my head is not very stable.
This is also where he thinks that Du Fuwei came to surrender most rashly, or that he had some hidden agenda, because if it were him, even if he asked to surrender, he would have to take care of his subordinates first. How could he leave so arrogantly? That was completely taking advantage of his own family.
Life is a joke.
…………………………
Hearing the words at this time, Gao Biaoren smiled and said: "Du Gong has just arrived, so I'm going to show you off. This city was built by Emperor Wen Yang Jian in the second year of Kaihuang, with more than 200,000 civilians. It took one year to complete, and it was built in the third year of Kaihuang."
Emperor Wen moved the capital here and named it Daxing City.
The outer city walls that Du Gong saw now were all built later, and the name did not change for a few years. I think the Chang'an that Du Gong thought was Han Chang'an.
The old city is in the southwest of New Chang'an. If you have time, I can invite Duke Du to take a look. It is very dilapidated, especially because the water in the city is not available. You have to go outside the city to get water every day, so it is almost abandoned.
, people also moved to the new city."
Gao Biaoren originally wanted to talk about the planning of Chang'an City, and things like the Eight Trigrams and Four Symbols, but considering Du Fuwei's cultural level, he didn't give in.
Du Fuwei was quite interested. He controlled the horse and walked slowly, saying: "I know that Daxing City was built under the supervision of Yu Wenkai, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the famous Prime Minister Gao Xi has the overall situation in mind..."
At this point, he shook his head and said, "Emperor Wen's courage will not be matched by future generations."
Wang Ze, the Minister of Rites, listened to their conversation and secretly laughed again in his heart. This Du Gong is really a wonderful man. He can talk to anyone. That is to say, Governor Luo is not here, otherwise these two fellow villagers will not be able to get together.
Call it fun.
Luo Shixin was not only a fellow countryman of Du Fuwei, but he was also the sworn brother of the current emperor. Du Fuwei felt that he had indeed received considerable preferential treatment.
He had just met the emperor's father-in-law, and he had sent his sworn brothers to greet him, so there was not much left of his hidden worries.
He deliberately made friends with Luo Shixin on the road, and they got to know each other within a few days. They made an appointment to have a drink together after arriving in Chang'an. With Luo Shixin's temper, the only people he could drink with were his brothers. From this, we can see that Du Fuwei was good at making friends.
He is very capable, no worse than Cheng Yaojin.
……………………
While they were talking, someone came over to report that the emperor went out of the city to meet him personally in the suburbs, and also asked the princes to be ready.
This was obviously a temporary decision. When Xiao Mian came to Chang'an, Li Po didn't even move his butt, because it was like offering a prisoner. Even if Xiao Mian came to Chang'an alive, he would not receive such treatment.
Du Fuwei was different. He had moved here and was so well-behaved that it made people feel distressed. Even though Li Po felt a little suspicious, he still arranged a grand welcome ceremony for him and planned to meet him at the court meeting.
Later, Xiao Yu came forward and said: "Du Fuwei, the leader of Jiangzuo, is quite famous. Now he has taken the initiative to come back. His intention is very sincere. The emperor should also treat him with sincerity. This can set an example for the world."
The attendant Feng Deyi expressed his opposition. He felt that Du Fuwei was from a lowly background and had been entrenched on the left side of the river for a long time. He should be respected with power and gentleness, and the combination of hardness and softness would show the majesty of the new dynasty.
The general meaning is that this person is of low origin, must not understand etiquette, and has been a local bully in Jiangzuo for such a long time. He may be so domineering. He should be made fearless and virtuous, so that he can stay in Chang'an with peace of mind.
According to his point of view, it is only right to kill someone who does something wrong to eliminate future troubles.
This time Li Po didn't listen to Feng Deyi. He felt that Xiao Yu was right. Du Fuwei was different from Li Yuan and Xiao Xian. He came to surrender on his own initiative and even brought his family members. Even if there were other reasons,
You should show your tolerance and tolerance.
Moreover, the war of unification was about to end, and how to stabilize the place would soon become the theme of everything in the DPRK and China. He wanted to leave Du Fuwei as a model and give the people a certain space for imagination.
There is so much violence in the world, and some people want to rise up if they are even slightly unsatisfied. We should establish a positive image for people. Now it seems that there is no more suitable candidate than Du Fuwei.
Later, before people rise up in agitation, they might be able to think about what happened to Du Fuwei, what happened to Li Yuan, Xiao Xian and others, and compare their fates, so that people can think twice before rising up.
So Li Po decided to go out of the city to greet him personally, put on a good show, and waited to see Du Fuwei's temperament before deciding what to do.
I think a guy who can bring his family to surrender must be a sensible person, right? Li Po is not sure. He has never heard of such a strange prince.
Maybe they were dissatisfied and secretly ran back with their family members.
It is now mid-March, the spring breeze is rippling, the weather is getting warmer, and the outside of Chang'an City is already full of green. Many peach and apricot trees have been planted around Chang'an City, and they have bloomed to welcome the spring, adding a lot of color to the suburbs of Chang'an.
.
While waiting, Li Po looked around boredly, and couldn't help but think of his college in the southern suburbs.
I went there in the winter, and even though I met a few idiots that dampened my interest, I still felt that the trip was worthwhile. I wonder what the scenery will be like when spring comes and the flowers bloom.
Not long after waiting, the long team gradually approached, and someone left the team and rode forward...
