3787. Chapter 3787 Everyone has great ambitions [01]
These forces have always expressed their loyalty to the emperor, so although the emperor intends to weaken them, he does not have a good chance.
And now, they are still Xiao Wen's force.
Now Xiao Wen has not exposed all his power. Although he appears to be defending Chu, it is actually just a temporary strategy and a test.
It is also a way for him to show weakness and express his helplessness.
But Shen Mingzhu didn't mind this because she and Xiao Wen didn't have a big conflict of interest.
Her enemies here are only Shen Yunluo, Xiao Che and Feng Qinran, as well as their support and followers. As long as they don't have too much hatred, the others can be ignored, and the enemies of these few people can be used as Alliance power.
She chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, Commander Xia is an old friend. When passing by someone else's territory, it's appropriate to go over and say hello."
Xiao Xian nodded, "Of course it is. Speaking of which, we haven't seen King Chu for a long time."
When Xia Zhilin heard that he was talking about the King of Chu, he felt a little wary, wondering if Xiao Xian was here to question him, because he didn't seem to recognize the status of the King of Chu.
Xiao Xian asked the helmsmen to follow Xia Zhilin's fleet, while Xia Zhilin brought a few close friends aboard their ship. They greeted them first, then exchanged a few words, reminisced about old times, and told them some of the customs and customs of the Chu region.
In fact, the two of them naturally knew the customs and customs of the Chu region. What Xia Zhilin was talking about was just some of the rules of the Chu region after Xiao Wen became emperor.
Xiao Xian no longer regarded himself as the King of Yan of the Qin State, so the relationship with Xia Zhilin was naturally not antagonistic. Everyone wanted to get in touch, so the atmosphere of chatting was very harmonious.
Someone spoke, and time passed quickly, and soon we arrived at Chujing, the temporary capital of Chudi.
The geographical location of Chujing is very important. It is located at the transportation hub of east, west, north and south. Since Chujing was occupied by Xiao Wen, Qin's transportation has increased a lot. Many military reports need to take detours to reach the capital, which takes a lot longer. times.
Many things were delayed as a result.
Chujing is naturally not as big as the capital of Qin, and it is not even as spectacular as Chang'an in the Yue Kingdom, but it still has its own unique style.
Chujing is divided into three layers of city walls, the palace city, the inner city and the outer city.
The outer city has a circumference of 19 kilometers.
There are five gates in the south, four gates in the east and north, and five gates in the west, including Water Gate.
The city gates are all equipped with urns, and towers and watchtowers are built on top of the city to prepare for the enemy. These defense facilities were built by the late emperor to resist riots and are still in use today.
When the prince was granted the title of a city, the late emperor personally selected this city for him.
The inner city has a circumference of nine kilometers and is mainly composed of government offices, temples, mansions, residences, shops, workshops and other buildings.
The imperial palace is also ready-made. It is said that Qin Gaozu originally wanted to place the capital in Chu, but later moved it to the current capital.
Therefore, although Chujing is not as big as the current capital, it has all kinds of facilities, making it very convenient to use as a capital.
As soon as they landed, a carriage was prepared there. Xia Zhilin drove the carriage himself, and there were royal guards in front of him to clear the way. The guards escorted him all the way to the palace.
Xia Zhilin knew the habits of the two of them, so he did not separate them in the car, but shared a large car.
Except for the bright yellow curtain, the cart was exactly the same as Emperor Xiao Wen's chariot.
