Chapter 647 The Millennium Ancient Capital, the Peerless Imperial City
Chapter 647 Thousand-year-old ancient capital, peerless imperial city
Head all the way north.
Perhaps it was a tiring journey, but Ye Miaoyu held Wanwan in her arms, leaned on her seat and fell asleep.
Chen Qi was chatting quietly with Suzaku.
Anyone who has driven a car knows that no matter how energetic a person is, driving for a long time will inevitably make him mentally tired.
If someone talks to you, it can alleviate it a little bit.
"Lord Dragon, how sure are you about this [Chen Royal Family] election for the throne?"
Suzaku asked curiously.
Chen Qi looked out the car window at the winding and steep mountains in the distance, "It depends on what the standards are for the election for the throne.
But now that we have gone, of course we should do our best to win it.”
In fact, Chen Qi didn't have much interest in the throne itself.
If he didn't want his elderly grandfather Chen Gang to have no regrets until his old age, he wouldn't have gotten involved in such a troublesome matter.
"By the way, the Thirteenth Tutor just sent news that the [Chen Royal Family] will hold a welcome banquet for the candidates for the throne tomorrow night. All the candidates for the throne will be present at that time, so Lord Dragon, you must be there.
"
"Tomorrow night?
I’m a bit pressed for time.”
It takes a day and a night to drive from Dongyuan to Shangjing.
We have to arrive at [Shangjing] before tomorrow night, so time is a bit tight.
When Chen Shipeng learned yesterday that Chen Qi had agreed to run for the throne, he was so happy that he flew back to Beijing overnight last night.
Originally, he wanted Chen Qi to go with him, but it was inconvenient for Chen Qi to take his family with him, so he left first.
"If you get tired of driving, why don't you do it for me?"
Chen Qi asked Zhuque.
Suzaku smiled and said, "One day and one night, I still have this little energy. In the past, when I was on a mission, I didn't sleep for three days and three nights. It was commonplace."
Chen Qi glanced at Zhuque and asked intentionally or unintentionally, "I seem to have heard you say before that you are also from [Shangjing]?
This time when I return to Beijing, why don’t you go home and have a look?”
As soon as he said these words, the smile on Suzaku's face immediately solidified.
"I won't go back!"
Suzaku's attitude was determined.
"It would be a little awkward if you don't go back to your home..."
"Home?"
Suzaku smiled miserably, "It's okay if you don't want that home!"
Chen Qi: "..."
I remember that when Chen Qi met Suzaku for the first time, he felt that this little girl also had a past that was unbearable to look back on.
At that time, Suzaku was very popular in the military.
After all, in this day and age, the proportion of women joining the army is already low, let alone a woman who is as beautiful as a fairy?
But she is taciturn and usually just keeps busy doing things and seldom communicates with others.
Later, I heard from other people at [Dragon Temple] that Suzaku went out to join the army alone because of a conflict with his family.
As for what happened, I haven't heard her mention it to anyone.
In this regard, Chen Qi was not easy to ask.
At that time, there were frequent wars at the border. Suzaku volunteered to go to the border to participate in the war, presumably with the attitude of wanting to die.
However, because she met Chen Qi, and with Chen Qi's help, she was promoted to one of the ten generals of the [Dragon Temple], becoming famous and surpassing thousands of people!
But even so, whenever she heard others mention her family, Suzaku would choose to remain silent, even Chen Qi.
Obviously, the conflicts between her and her family cannot be explained clearly in just a few words.
"If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. Maybe I can help you a little bit?"
Chen Qi hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
Suzaku returned to his usual smile, "Yeah, I know."
Chen Qi shook his head helplessly, not intending to continue on this topic, but changed the subject.
"When we get to Beijing, let's go to the [Heroes Tomb]."
Suzaku was confused, "[Heroes Tomb]?"
[Heroes Tomb], which is the Tomb of Heroes.
There are [Heroes' Tombs] all over the country to commemorate those heroic soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.
As one of the three imperial cities, [Shangjing] has the largest [Heroes Tomb], where countless heroes are buried.
Since [Shangjing] is very close to the northern border, the ashes of many soldiers who died on the battlefield will be moved to [Shangjing] for burial in the Heroes' Tomb.
Many of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the [Dragon Temple] led by Chen Qi are also buried there.
"It stands to reason that we should go and sweep the tombs every Qingming Festival, but because of one or other things, we couldn't go."
In the past, Chen Qi was at the border, and every Qingming Festival, he would order all the soldiers of the [Dragon Temple] to look south and observe a collective moment of silence to commemorate those heroic spirits who sacrificed their lives.
Now that I have the opportunity to go to [Shangjing] in person, I naturally have to go and see it.
Suzaku nodded, "Okay, I'll go down and make arrangements."
The whole journey was speechless.
After a day and night of driving, Chen Qi and his party only occasionally stopped at a few stations to eat and rest before continuing on their way.
It was not until the afternoon of the next day that Chen Qi and his party finally entered the realm of Shangjing.
Unlike the royal capital [Dongyuan], the imperial city [Shangjing], as the national political and economic center, has always held a very high status in the country.
Its special geographical location, unique climate and abundant resources have given birth to generations of great people who are famous all over the world.
You know, throughout the ages, there have been several dynasties that established their capitals in Shangjing.
This also has a long history of profound historical and cultural deposits in Shangjing.
The right way is,
The most beautiful thing about spring is that it is better than the smoke and willows that fill the imperial capital.
The light rain on the street is as moist as crisp, and the color of grass looks far away but is not visible up close.
The glorious history is written by the people, and the solemn reputation is gained through hard work.
…
There are countless poems and songs left by the ancients praising "Shangjing".
After several twists and turns, we finally reached our destination.
This is an old courtyard house located on a street south of the center of Shangjing.
Compared with some luxury villas, this kind of courtyard house certainly seems a bit unattractive.
But you need to know that in a place like Shangjing, where land is more valuable than money, having a courtyard house of several hundred square meters is a huge fortune.
Talking about money is a bit vulgar, because the courtyard house is the essence of Shangjing culture.
Along the way through deep alleys and wide alleys, the prosperity and splendor of Shangjing thousands of years ago are vividly visible.
This courtyard house was arranged by Chen Shipeng in advance for Chen Qi. It is not far from the residence of the [Chen Royal Family]. After passing through a few streets, the red bead-painted gate with the dragon and phoenix statues is the [Chen Royal Family].
It can be seen that Chen Shipeng is very fond of Chen Qi. The courtyard is fully equipped and equipped with several servants.
Chen Qi and others only need to carry their bags and check in.
Not long after Chen Qi arrived, Chen Shipeng received the news and sent someone to invite him to a banquet.
Tonight the [Chen Royal Family] will hold a welcome party for the candidates for the throne. As one of the candidates for the throne, Chen Qi must be present.
After settling Ye Miaoyu and Wanwan, Chen Qi followed that person to the [Chen Royal Family] residence.
