This city was built in the second year of Kaihuang's reign. It is located on the southern slope of Longshouyuan, southeast of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty. It consists of the outer city, the palace city and the imperial city. It covers an area of more than 80 square kilometers and has a population of 600,000. It is
At this time, it was the largest city in the world.
Five days later, Sun Ran and Li Jing entered Chang'an City, just before Li Yuan arrived.
The two chatted happily along the way. They both felt that the other had a high IQ and could keep up with each other's thoughts when chatting without getting stuck.
Therefore, after only five days, the two felt that it was too late to meet each other, and they felt a sense of sympathy for each other. They became good friends and regarded each other as brothers.
Sun Ran only had less than a pennies of money on him. This money could be used for a long time in other places, but in an international metropolis like Chang'an, it could not last more than half a month.
Fortunately, Li Jing is a son of an official and is rich. According to Sun Ran's estimation, he has at least fifty taels of gold, which is equivalent to five hundred coins. To Sun Ran, this guy is a rich man, and all his food and shelter depend on him.
.
In this era, all transportation is by walking. Along the way, Sun Ran not only chatted with Li Jing, but also learned about Li Yuan's current situation with Chang'e.
"Li Yuan has already set off from Qizhou and is expected to arrive in Chang'an in three or four days. Queen Dugu is his aunt and he is the emperor's nephew. He will enter the imperial city to celebrate his birthday in ten days." Chang'e said.
Li Yuan's mother is the fourth sister of the Queen, and the Queen is the seventh sister. They are both the daughters of Dugu Xin, one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty. In this world, Dugu Xin is a famous handsome man in history. How many people did this person have?
The daughters married many emperors and became queens. There is no need to elaborate on the beauty of these daughters.
"Since she is the queen's nephew, I heard that Queen Dugu is very powerful, and Yang Jian can't stand her. With her here, Yang Jian will not harm Li Yuan's life." Sun Ran deduced, but he was worried and asked: "Emperor
Are there any saboteurs in the city?"
"I don't know. Ever since Buddha appeared, we have been hazy about things in the world." Chang'e gave a very fucked-up answer.
Sun Ran was startled. He didn't expect that the secrets of heaven had been confused to such an extent and that the situation had become so bad.
"Then what countermeasures do you have?"
"Limited to technical problems, there are basically no countermeasures. However, a few days ago, one of Li Yuan's close aides fell seriously ill and died, so we arranged for a bronze orderer with high emotional intelligence to go in and protect him. Together with Xiao Qing, there should be no problem.
Question." Chang'e said.
"Oh, that's good. I'll take a walk around the city in the next few days." Sun Ran said with a smile.
Since the secret was not revealed and the strict game management could not help, he had to spend time and energy to explore the city of Chang'an.
"This is better." Of course Chang'e had no objection.
So far, the two of them had arrived at an inn, following the same old rules. Li Jing paid and booked two rooms. Then he paid and ordered a table of delicious dishes, which the two of them enjoyed in the lobby on the first floor.
After the wine was half drunk, Li Jing expressed his thoughts: "Brother Changqing, I want to go to Jin to meet Yang Su, the Duke of Yue. How about it?" Changqing was the word Sun Ran gave to himself, and he was used to it.
Sun Ran knew what he was thinking and analyzed: "The Duke of Yue is getting old. He is already fifty-eight years old and no longer has great ambitions. As a good brother, if you go to seek refuge with him, you will be appreciated by him, but in the end he will not be able to show his talents.
Big picture.”
Li Jing was a very assertive person. Hearing these words, he felt that they made sense, but he would not give up unless he gave it a try, so he said: "The only hero in the world who can catch Jing's eyes is Mr. Yang. I don't see him."
.I feel regretful in my heart."
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Sun Ran stopped trying to persuade him and said with a smile: "In that case, drink all this wine. I wish my dear brother a bright future."
"I accept my brother's good advice." Li Jing laughed.
After that, he was speechless. After eating, Li Jing went to rest. He got up early the next morning, and after getting himself refreshed, he went out to visit the Duke of Yue in Wubenfang.
The people living in Wubenfang are all dignitaries. Looking at the gorgeous carriages that keep appearing on the street, compared with the ordinary civilian clothes he is wearing, Li Jing feels the slightest pressure in his heart. This is the function of power. As long as he is in this world, he will
No one can avoid it.
Li Jing took a deep breath, calmed down, and remembered the words of his friend Li Bo, a Taoist priest who was traveling with him: "A good brother has a great talent, and one day he will be heard all over the world."
Who can say what the score of these words is? If an ordinary person said this to him, Li Jing would definitely not feel anything at all, and might even think that the other person was ridiculing him. But the words were spoken from the perspective of far-sightedness and powerful mystical skills. Maybe it was
It comes from the mouth of Taoist Li who can see secrets, which makes people have to believe it.
It was this sentence that gave Li Jing a lot of confidence. He straightened his robes, held his chest high and held his head high, and walked towards the Duke of Yue's mansion.
When you arrive at the door, you first hand over a tael of silver to the concierge, then hand over your name card, and then wait patiently for the summons.
After waiting for a long time, no one summoned him or notified him. Li Jing was mentally prepared for this.
At this time, Yang Su was famous all over the world and had great power. He was the majestic Duke of the Yue Kingdom, while Li Jing was just the son of an ordinary official, and he was also white. The difference in status was really huge.
The day passed like this, and Li Jing did not get any results. He was not discouraged. He returned to the inn to rest for a day. He got up in high spirits the next day and went to the Yue Kingdom Mansion again.
This time, he gave the porter ten taels of silver.
But the result did not change. After waiting for another day, I only got a reply: "The official is busy with official business and will come back tomorrow."
Li Jing then went back, rested for the night, and got up early on the third day to continue walking to the Yue Duke's Mansion.
Sun Ran sighed as he looked at it. He was an outsider and knew that Yang Su was not the protagonist of "Empire of the Tang Dynasty" and would be eliminated in a few years. Li Jing's work was just in vain.
But young people always have to take some detours. He has warned him before. If the other party doesn't listen, then it's none of his business.
Besides, when Li Jing arrived at the concierge, he continued to hand over ten taels of silver, and then waited. At noon, the concierge finally informed him: "The Duke has invited you."
Li Jing took a long breath, feeling that so many days of waiting had not been in vain. He was confident that as long as he could tell the Duke of the country some of the strategies he had prepared for governing the country and border areas, he would definitely be able to impress him.
Following the servant into the Duke's Mansion, Li Jing thought over what he was going to say over and over again, trying not to miss anything superficial.
After he met his friend Li Bo, the other party pointed out many of his shortcomings, which allowed him to improve a lot. He felt that as long as the Sui Dynasty could implement the proposed strategies, apart from other things, the Turkic troubles in the north would definitely be quelled in one fell swoop.
The Duke's Mansion of the State of Yue was very large, even larger than the royal palace. Li Jing followed his servants around and walked around for a long time before arriving in front of the lobby.
"Go in, the master is waiting for you inside."
Li Jing entered and saw a screen. He walked around the screen and looked up. He saw an old man wearing a brocade robe and a thin body, half lying on a gorgeous couch. Dancers were dancing around him and a singer was singing.
Write a song.
Next to the sitting table, there was a beautiful girl standing gracefully, holding a red whisk in her hand, and she was extremely beautiful. Even Li Jing, who is not a womanizer, couldn't help but pause on her for a moment, and sighed to himself: "There is such a stunning beauty in the world."
However, he was not very interested in women and only wanted to make achievements, so this thought only passed by in a flash.
In one glance, Li Jing took in all the situations in the hall, and then lowered his head, feeling very complicated in his heart: "Brother Changqing is right, Yang Su is really old. Looking at his frail appearance, I'm afraid he won't be around for a long time."
On weekdays, he had heard that Yang Su was fond of luxury when he was out, but when he saw him today, it was even better than the rumors. Can such a person help him realize his ambition?" He had doubts in his heart, sighed secretly, and was already a little disappointed.
"Are you Li Chongyi's grandson?" Yang Su said, her voice a little hoarse and lacking in energy. The singers around her stopped talking knowingly.
"Yes." Li Jing nodded.
"You said you have a plan to appease Bian? Let's talk about it." Yang Su asked again.
Li Jing looked at the hall full of singers and dancers and frowned: "Mr. Yang, you want to talk about national affairs here?"
Yang Su was startled, laughed loudly, and waved his hand: "You all go down... Hong Fu can stay."
After all the beauties stepped back, Li Jing took a deep breath and began to talk about Jingbian's strategy that he had been thinking about for the past few days.
At first, Yang Su was lying on the couch. After a while, his face gradually became solemn, and he said to Hong Fu beside him: "Help me sit up."
Hongfu girl is not very old, roughly estimated to be only sixteen. When she saw Li Jing, who was tall and tall, and talked eloquently and exquisitely, her beautiful eyes had already lit up. When she heard Yang Su's words, she was stunned for a moment before reacting, and she hurriedly
Yang Su stepped forward to help him, so Yang Su changed to sit upright.
After a long time, Li Jing finished speaking and saluted: "Please give me your advice, Duke of the State."
After listening to it for so long, Yang Su already felt that his mind was exhausted, and his eyesight went dark. After hearing Li Jing's words, he gently patted the seat next to him: "Young man, you are very powerful. One day, you will be able to sit down.
I am in this position. But I am old and my time is running out, but I can’t see this day coming. If you don’t give up, may I recommend you to become a meritorious officer in Chang’an County?”
Li Jing was very disappointed, not because he was a junior official, but because he saw that Yang Su was really old and his ambitions had disappeared.
"Thank you, Mr. Yang." That was all he could say.
"Go down." Li Jing exited.
After Li Jing left, his servants helped Yang Su to rest. As soon as Hongfu Nu got away, she returned to her residence and immediately inquired about Li Jing's residence.
Yang Su is already old, and no one in the younger generation can shoulder the burden of the family. The Yang family is in disarray, and she has to find a way out for herself.
It's just...it's just...her steps suddenly slowed down, and she remembered an extremely clear dream she had when she was ten years old. In the dream, there was an unforgettable person who could never be forgotten.
After hesitating for a moment, her expression became firm again. The dream was just a dream, it was insubstantial and could not be relied on. She could not pin her life on a dream.
She looked around at the luxurious Yang Mansion and decided to take action tonight and leave here.
PS: Actually Yang Su is not that old, but this is a game. This person is too cunning, so his lifespan is reduced by ten.
