The city is a strange place that was born after human beings gathered together. Here you can see the glory and achievements of human civilization, as well as the greed and nastiness of human beings. No matter every dynasty or generation, no matter what kind of city it is, it has its own characteristics.
The bright and beautiful side also has its dark and cruel side. These two sides are not subject to the restrictions and control of the city's managers and residents.
During the Han Dynasty, Chang'an, except for Rome in Europe, which could be compared with it, there was no other place on earth that was more magnificent or magnificent. After the transformation and subtle influence of Su Ren, an outsider,
It is probably more superior and larger than Rome, and has become a temple in the hearts of people all over the world.
Of course, no matter how bright and magnificent the huge and glorious Chang'an City is, it still cannot escape the fate of the city. Chang'an City has been divided into several large pieces by people consciously and unconsciously. The south of the city is the urban area renovated by Su Ren, where small buildings
Lined with trees, birds singing and flowers fragrant, the sun shining brightly, clean and tidy areas, neat shops, and graceful and luxurious residents, it can be regarded as the quietest, most peaceful, most positive, and most desirable place in Chang'an City.
The west of the city is occupied by the West Market and the East Market. Merchants, porters, and camel teams from all over the world form a huge commercial area around the huge Dahan Bank. Here you can encounter the strangest goods and the strangest things you have ever seen.
animals, as well as the most peculiar people. People from the Western Regions, Huns, Yelang people, etc., merchants from all countries and regions that can be named will come to Chang'an and come here. The goods and goods that come in and out every day
The population and livestock are no less than hundreds of thousands. In a place as big as Xicheng, the currency circulating in one day is equivalent to the tax revenue of the Han Dynasty in half a year.
The northern part of the city is where the Imperial City is located, and it is the most deserted and solemn place. Huge palaces are connected one after another. Government offices of different sizes surround a circle. There are only two times when it is most lively here. One is when going to court every morning.
The carriages and horses coming from the south of the city tightly blocked the wide Zhuque Street. If you stood in the air, you could see the dark Chang'an City at this time like a sharp sword piercing out from the palace. The second one is Sanchao.
. All the gentlemen filed out again, in carriages and on horses, with and without guards, like big trees, extending their branches to all directions in the city.
If the south of the city represents the elegance and luxury of Chang'an, the west of the city represents the prosperity of Chang'an, the north of the city represents the solemnity and solemnity of Chang'an, then the east of the city represents the cold and dim city of Chang'an. There are many wine shops, tea shops, gambling houses, and brothels here.
Zongheng. There are high-end and elegant ones, as well as short and vulgar ones. No matter where you come from, no matter what you need, you can be satisfied here. Of course, you have to have enough money.
Mingchunshe is located in Guirenfang in the east of the city. The shopkeeper is a shrewd businessman. Mingchunshe is in a very good location, right between Ping'an Street and Anrenfang main street. The back door faces Ping'an Street and the front door faces Anren.
Fangzhu Street. When the tea shop was renovated, the shopkeeper had many considerations. The original five-entry courtyard was divided into two sections, and the side facing Ping'an Street was changed into a Datong Hall. The price of crude tea and pastries is not expensive, and it is very
Suitable for ordinary people. A lot of thought has been put into the side facing Anrenfang, with meticulous decoration, emotional singing and dancing, and even the tea sets are carefully selected, and each set has a story and origin.
If you walk into Mingchun House from Ping'an Street, you must have entered a large courtyard. Big men picking their feet, old men covered in lice, and children with snot-soaked faces all gather together in a noisy manner, or listen to lecturers reading Dahan Bao
, or you can analyze and discuss a lively event in the city to express your most unique and attractive opinions. But if you enter Mingchunshe from Anrenfang, it is completely different. As soon as you walk in, you will see a small bridge and flowing water.
Surrounded by green bamboos, the boy in green clothes and a small hat, and the shy and lovely maid made me feel comfortable. Coupled with the exquisite tea sets, graceful techniques, and melodious music, it was simply a fairyland on earth that I couldn't bear to leave.
The place that Su Kai wanted to pay attention to was not the side of Ming Chun House near Ping'an Street, but the end near Anrenfang. The people coming in and out of Ping'an Street were nothing more than peddlers and lackeys, and the words that came out of their mouths would be ignored by others.
At that time, it was like farting, and I would never forget what I heard, because those people were far away from the core area of Dahan, far beyond their own imagination. On the contrary, Anrenfang was different, and they were generous enough to come here.
All the people are powerful nobles.
These nobles who have nothing to do and wait to die in Chang'an City are very scary. They are actually very powerful. As long as they can be twisted into a rope, even Emperor Liu Che will be afraid of them. It is a pity that these people are fighting for their own interests.
Interests, even if they say they are brothers, they will not be soft when stabbing them in the back. These people also have weaknesses, they are very timid, but a small movement in the court will change in a short time as long as someone secretly promotes it.
It turns into a huge wave, for fear of hitting myself on the head.
Zhu Maichen, the visitor of Princess Guantao's Mansion, has come to Mingchunshe very frequently recently. Speaking of this Zhu Maichen, he is quite capable. When Zhuang Qingzhai fell, Zhu Maichen, the dynasty, and Bian Tong were all killed.
Bian Tong was killed, and the whereabouts of the dynasty were unknown. However, Zhu Maichen took advantage of Princess Guantao and lived peacefully in Chang'an City for so many years.
Su Kai has been paying attention to Zhu Maichen for a long time. Ever since Zhu Maichen entered Princess Guantao's mansion, Su Kai has not relaxed his vigilance about this person. There are not many people who dare to be cruel to Su Ren, at least Su Kai has never seen him.
, Zhu Maichen opened Su Kai's eyes. Not only did he touch Su Ren, but he almost killed Leng Yue. He survived and did not leave Chang'an. Zhu Maichen was the only one in the whole Han Dynasty.
The people Zhu Maichen had an appointment with today were very mysterious. Almost all of them were wearing large cloaks when they entered. But this could not stop Su Kai. Over the years, he was very familiar with the nobles and officials of Chang'an, and he could tell by the way they walked.
Who is that person? The one who is limping is Zhou Ning, the Marquis of Guizi; the one who shakes his head is Cao Qingshan, the Marquis of Linchuan; the one who sticks out his butt is Changchun Marquis Xia Houpi; the one who likes to hold his hands on his chest is Lai
Yin Hou Fan Chao, other small fish and shrimps are all within Su Kai's sight. These people have one thing in common, that is, they are all at the end of their rope. Who knows when the emperor will take away the marquis and lose everything they have now.
Speaking of which, the ancestors of these people were more or less closely related to the founding of the Han Dynasty. However, they had no intention of continuing to be loyal to the Han Dynasty. They just rested on the merits of their ancestors and waited to die. They always thought that their ancestors were Liu
The family shed blood and shed tears, and when it was their turn, they just had to enjoy it. But they forgot that there were still wolves around the Han Dynasty, and the Emperor of the Han Dynasty needed them to sacrifice their lives, or at least do something worthy of their status as a marquis.
As usual, the private room Zhu Maichen chose was the most secluded and mysterious, almost to the end of the entire courtyard. The room was not big, and except for a few followers brought by Zhu Maichen, no one in Mingchunfang was allowed to enter.
.
Fan Chao, who came to Yinhou, shouted as soon as he entered the door: "The news has already spread, why do you want me to wait? Your Majesty still doesn't believe the news, so there is nothing you can do."
Linchuan Marquis Cao Qingshan said with a sullen face: "Speaking of which, these things have little to do with us. If His Majesty knows about us, what if..."
Changchun Hou Xiahou Pi sneered: "Everything has been done, and it's too late! Old Cao, don't you want to sell us? You just swore an oath!"
Zhou Ning, the returning prince, glanced at Cao Qingshan and said, "Since there has been no news for so long, I'm afraid His Majesty really doesn't believe it. It's very difficult to convince His Majesty with just rumors. Have you seen today's Da Han Bao? Sima Xiangru wrote a special article for Su
Ren Zhengming, this shows that no one believes our words. Besides, Su Ren has made great achievements this time. When people triumph, if they know that we are behind to cause trouble, they will be scared to think about it! Didn't Zhuang Qingzhai also..." Speaking of
Here, Zhou Ning glanced at Zhu Maichen: "What does the eldest princess mean? Do you really want the Baoli family?"
Zhu Maichen glanced around: "The princess doesn't care whether she protects you or not. You should know what the purpose of the eldest princess is! In addition, no one knows whether your majesty believes it or not. You can just wait and see. I will find you today."
You are here because I have another piece of news to spread, and I hope you can help me."
"Ah!" Cao Qingshan was shocked: "What other news is there? We..."
Fan Chao interrupted Cao Qingshan: "Old Cao, don't interrupt, listen to what he has to say."
Zhu Maichen continued: "Su Ren killed the envoys of Wuhuan and Xianbei. Wuhuan and Xianbei are gathering their armies to come towards our big Han. There is a saying that the enemy should respect himself. I wonder if any of you have heard of it?"
Zhou Ning was stunned: "Are you saying that Su Ren wants to take advantage of the opportunity to control the military and has evil intentions?"
Cao Qingshan immediately said: "No way? Su Ren's family members are all in Chang'an. If he has other thoughts, wouldn't it mean that his family members will die?"
Xiahou Pi rolled his eyes: "What's this? Remember when Gaozu was trapped by Xiang Yu, when did he care about his family? As long as he can conquer the world, women and children are nothing."
Cao Qingshan was unwilling to give up: "Su Ren is not such a person. I have met him a few times. I think that when he came all the way from Shu County to Chang'an for his teacher Wen Dang, he was kind and righteous.
"
"Humph! What a fart!" Fan Chao said angrily: "That's because he wants to come to Chang'an to seek an official position. Look at how he has been running around for official positions over the years. From a merchant to a general with military power, when has he ever managed it?
Will the family live or die? Who knows if that child is his Su Ren’s son? Hahaha..."
A group of people laughed in the room. No one noticed that in the dark corner there was a pure copper pipe leading to another room. Su Kai was putting his ear on the other side of the pipe to hear their words clearly.
