The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 40
Chen Jingke didn't know that he was being missed by others, so he walked to the palace after leaving the Taoist temple.

There are not many pedestrians on the road, and there are no peddlers hawking along the street in movies and TV dramas, and there are no candied haws at all, which is very inconsistent with the prosperous scene that Chang'an should have in his mind.

After walking a certain distance, I suddenly understood what was going on. This is an area where the rich and powerful lived, and naturally there were not so many people.

In addition, in ancient times, Fang Shi was distinguished. Fang was a residential area where business was not allowed, and Shi was the place to do business.

If you want to see hawking along the street, you have to go to Dongshi, Xishi or some special places.For example, the square at the entrance of Zixiao Temple will inevitably form a small market in the future.

After thinking about it, he didn't have the desire to wander around anymore, so he speeded up and prepared to get to the palace as soon as possible.

Walking halfway, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "Is the Master Sun's disciple Chen Xiaoren in front?"

Chen Jingke stopped and looked at the other party suspiciously, and found that it was three fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys who called him.Just by looking at his clothes, he knew that he was a son of a powerful family, so he immediately cupped his hands and said:

"It's right here, I don't know who the three gentlemen are?"

Seeing that it was indeed him, the three of them showed surprised expressions, and said, "It's really a real person. A certain Cheng Huailiang, Qin Yandao, and Yuchi Xunyu have met a real person."

Chen Jingke was puzzled at first, but immediately showed a clear expression.

This Cheng Huailiang should be the son of the famous Cheng Yaojin, and he vaguely remembered that this guy was an alchemist who married Li Shimin's nine-year-old daughter.

Perverted.

Qin Yandao should be Qin Qiong's son without accident; Yuchi Xunyu is easier to identify, and anyone who has met Yuchi Gong can tell that they are related by blood.

"The three gentlemen are very polite, I don't know why you asked me to live in the next place?"

Qin Yandao clasped his hands and said: "It's all because we admire the two real people, but it's a pity that Zixiao temple has not yet received pilgrims, and we have no chance to see them. I was so happy to see the real person just now, so I couldn't help but disturb me and ask the real person to forgive me. "

As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling face, Chen Jingke also said politely: "Where are the three gentlemen, it is my honor to know you."

Seeing that he was not angry, Qin Yandao relaxed his nervousness.It is reasonable to say that the son of a dignified prince would not be so cautious, but who made his father ill.

That is to say, he is facing Chen Jingke now, and if Sun Simiao is face to face, he probably won't even dare to breathe.

"I don't know why the real person went out? The three of us claim to be familiar with Chang'an. If there is any place for us, please feel free to ask."

Chen Jingke smiled and said: "Thank you three for your kindness. I have nothing to do. It's just that I haven't seen my mother for a few days and I miss her. I'm going to go to the palace to have a look."

The expressions on the faces of the three were not to mention how exciting, this guy's talk about entering the palace is more casual than visiting relatives, I'm afraid it's not so easy for Chang Sun Chong to enter the palace.

It seems that Sun Zhenren's master and apprentice have a higher status in the hearts of saints and empresses than everyone imagined.

To make friends, you must have a relationship with this little real person.

So they enthusiastically said: "Recently, there is some unrest in Beijing. It's too dangerous for a real person to bring two followers. Why don't we escort you to the imperial city?"

Chen Jingke is speechless, can you find any more nonsensical reasons than this?
Now we are only more than one mile away from the palace. If this place is not safe, is there any safe place in the world?
Seeing the seriousness of the three of them, he also had to sigh with emotion.Sure enough, he is worthy of being the son of the rich and powerful, and ordinary people really can't learn this kind of shameless energy.

But he didn't refuse, not because of any security issues - not only did the other party want to make friends with him, but he also wanted to make friends with the other party.

A single tree cannot form a forest, no matter what you want to do in the future, you must have a few allies.Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and Yu Chigong are all the ones with good reputations, so you can try to get in touch with them.

"Then trouble the three gentlemen."

So the two groups joined together and walked towards the imperial city.On the way, Qin Yandao and the three chattered endlessly, introducing him to the situation in Chang'an and some gossip and gossip.

Chen Jingke just echoed and did not express any views.He could tell that the three of them seemed to have said a lot, but it was all general news, and it was useless to refine a single sentence carefully.

But whether it is useful or not depends on who it is for. It is of course useless to the natives of Chang'an City, but it is of great use to Chen Jingke.

At least let him have a rough understanding of the situation in Chang'an City and the main dignitaries, and he will no longer be blinded like before.

And through chatting, he also had a superficial understanding of the three of them.

Qin Yandao was the most active and talked the most, but he rarely got to the point, and he didn't know how Qin Qiong raised his children.

Yuchi Xunyu's performance was even worse, with poor academic knowledge, straightforward personality and lack of three-point flexibility, he was not as good as Qin Yandao.The only advantage is that he doesn't talk much, and he doesn't know whether he is introverted or he knows his shortcomings are hiding his clumsiness.

On the contrary, Cheng Huailiang behaved more like a qualified son of a wealthy family.Although he tried his best to hide himself, his words and deeds still crushed the two around him.

Thinking of the ending of the three families in the previous life, the Qin family declined rapidly after Qin Qiong's death, the Yuchi family persisted until the death of Yuchi Baolin during Gaozong's period, and the Cheng family persisted the longest.

Just in response to that sentence, the gentleman will be killed for the third generation, and it will be useless if he does not live up to his ancestors and earn his family's fortune.On the other hand, if you don't cultivate your heirs well, no matter how big your fortune is, you won't be able to last long.

Soon they arrived at Changle Gate, not only the two accompanying servants had to be left at the gate, Qin Yandao and the other three were also not eligible to enter the palace, so they had to say goodbye at the gate.

Looking at the three people looking forward to it, Chen Jingke finally said what they wanted to hear the most: "We hit it off as old friends. When Zixiao Temple opens its doors in a few days, the three of you can go find me."

Qin Yandao and the three were overjoyed, and said: "Okay, we will definitely go to the appointment then."

After bidding farewell to the three of them, and telling the two followers to wait here not to run around, he showed the pass documents and waist badge to the gate guards and entered the Changle Gate.

The review of entering and exiting the palace is very strict. It is not enough to have a waist card, but also a document with the seal of the emperor or the seal of the queen.

Especially when entering and leaving the harem, the queen's seal must be required, which is the power given to the queen by the etiquette and national laws.Of course, in actual operation, the emperor can also enter and leave the harem with a nod.

Chen Jingke's paperwork and waist badge were specially prepared for him by Changsun Wugou, and they are valid for a long time.

Enter from the Changle Gate, pass the Gongli Gate, enter the Harem through the Qianhua Gate, and then come to the Lizheng Gate, the gate of the Lizheng Palace.

When he gets here, he can no longer enter directly, even with a pass.It must be reported first, and only after Changsun Wugou agrees can he enter.

The eunuch guarding the door naturally knew Chen Jingke, but he didn't dare to manipulate him, so he hurried inside to report.

As a result, there were no accidents, Changsun Wugou sent Sun Fucai to pick him up at the door.
