The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 20 The Magic Weapon of Duke Sheng Guogong in the Past Dynasties
The previous dynasty in Sister Anth's words was replaced by the Yan Dynasty, which was separated from Da Chu by a dynasty.

The first generation of ancestors, Sheng Guogong, was the founding emperor who followed Dayan—the title earned by Yan Gaozu in history from the Southern Conquest and the Northern War.

Today's Kyoto is the place where Yan Gaozu started his family.

And this base camp was infiltrated by the spies of his powerful enemy when he went south to fight.

The opponent wanted to attack the capital together from inside and outside, but failed.

In a rage, he set fire to the imperial city built by Yan Gaozu.

Although the imperial city was not burned, but looking around, there are ruins everywhere.

To say that Yan Gaozu is also a strange person, after he knew that his old lair was almost smashed, he didn't lose his composure. Instead, he laughed out loud, and then waved his hand, ordering people to preserve the still intact imperial city It was completely demolished and redesigned by manpower.

According to historical records, Yan Gaozu once vowed to build a towering imperial city that has never been seen before or since.

According to his request, dozens of officials quarreled for more than a month, and finally made the decision to "merge the original capital with the surrounding five counties surrounding Gyeonggi and set it as the new capital".

This is the origin of the "six county capitals" in history.

After the completion of the new Kyoto, construction supervisors designated the former capital city as the inner city; two-thirds of the inner city was designated as the imperial city; eight streets.

Emperor Yan Gaozu ascended the throne, enshrined [-] meritorious officials in one breath, and gave them the gift of living in these [-] streets, Shengguo Gongfu is one of them.

This kind of arrangement is also full of Yan Gaozu's expectations. He hopes that the descendants of his heroes can, like their ancestors, protect and protect Emperor Dayan and the country of Dayan from generation to generation.

It's a pity that the stars have changed, Dayan became Dachen, and Dachen became Dachu. Hundreds of years have passed, and the eighteen streets are still there, but the mansions built on the streets have not changed owners. There are only three houses: Sheng Guogong Mansion, Anguo Gong Mansion and Zheng Guogong Mansion.

"...According to historical records, the imperial city was built on a huge area, with high walls, bright tiles, and numerous palaces. Among them, there are several gardens, which cover the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, the beautiful forests and strange stones, the lonely smoke of the desert, and the scenery of the grassland;

There are also various entertainment venues for Cuju, polo, and horse racing; it is said that there are also several bird and animal halls, which house various highly ornamental animals, even fierce birds and beasts.

Let's put it this way, the gardens in our mansion look huge, but placed in the imperial city, these have become miniature landscapes, not worth mentioning. "

Sheng Xiangxun spoke slowly, hearing Sheng Yuan's small mouth open and exclamation marks keep coming out of his head!

My good fellow, such a magnificent imperial city can't even compare to the legendary palace in her previous life in her memory.

Sure enough, if we want to talk about luxury, we still need to look at the ancient emperors!

Thinking of this, Sheng Yuan's little head shook a little, as if she couldn't bear the rich thoughts bubbling out of her head.

Fortunately, her father was afraid that her dangling neck would be unbearable, so he firmly supported the back of her head with his hand.

Sheng Yuan leaned on her father's big palm, breathed a sigh of relief like a little adult, and sighed in her heart: she is still too small, her head can't bear the weight of her thoughts.

"Father, it's not easy to build such a big imperial city, right? At that time, Yan Gaozu was still conquering the world, wasn't he afraid of laboring the people and hurting the money?"

Obviously, the nine-year-old Sheng An has more in-depth thinking than his younger sister, and the angles of consideration are quite standard.

Sheng Yuan tilted her head back again, using her father's hand as a pillow, listening to them comfortably.

"Yan Gaozu was born in a powerful family and knew economics himself. Not to mention how many noble families were copied during the Southern and Northern Wars, but the 36 caravans under his command are enough to provide him with a steady stream of wealth;

Not to mention that after the construction of the imperial city started, he used the artisans he had seized to build dozens of treasure ships, and while going out to sea to do business with countries outside, he robbed pirates along the way;
When the imperial city was built and Yan established the country, the treasury was so full that the people of the world would be exempted from taxes for five years, and the private treasury of the ancestors was also sufficient to ensure that generations of descendants would not be empty. "

Sheng Yuan listened to what her father said in detail, as if she had seen it with her own eyes, she couldn't help saying: "How do you know? Which history book wrote it?"

As a temporary illiterate, the three-year-old Sheng Yuan doesn't know if there are any historical records to record these things, but it doesn't matter, this doesn't affect her mood of simply bragging about bragging, otherwise she wouldn't be able to say so many words.

"It was written in the notes of the ancestor Sheng Guogong!" Sheng Xiangxun said solemnly, pointing to the library not far away. Recalling the notes, there seem to be more than a dozen volumes in total.”

When Sheng An heard this, his eyes sparkled as he looked towards the library.

On the other hand, Sheng Yuan rubbed his chin with chubby paws and pondered: more than a dozen volumes, how detailed is this?

In other words, Yan Gaozu knew that his loyal courtiers carried pens engraved with their era, crossed the barriers of paper, and stood on the stage full of melons, which greatly satisfied the curiosity of the people who eat melons in later generations?

"Father, our Duke Sheng's mansion has survived through three dynasties. There must be many interesting things. Tell me about it!" Sheng An is a curious baby. When her father talks about the first Duke Sheng, he can't stop talking. Thinking of the "Zhudailu" mentioned by her father before, she begged her father to pick up some interesting ones and talk about them. After all, she was a little unhappy to let her read so many words by herself.

Sheng Xiangxun was also in a good mood at the moment, especially when he saw his wife smiling and standing beside him watching him get close to the children, he wanted to behave well.

Hearing the eldest daughter's proposal, he happily picked up interesting stories about the Duke of Sheng's mansion from the first generation to the present and told the two daughters.

He held Sheng Yuan with one hand, and held on to the railing with the other hand, leaning on the railing and telling the story of Yan Gaozu's period as if recalling it.

When talking about the first Sheng Guogong's battles, he occasionally made gestures with the hand holding the railing; until he talked about several important turning points, his emotions became aroused, and even the range of gestures increased a lot.

In order to maintain her balance, Sheng Yuan unconsciously grabbed her father's ear with her paws.

At this moment, her attention was all on the story her father described, her pair of black eyes were fixed on his mouth that spoke words, her small expression was serious, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was intoxicated.

To say that her father was really not in vain in the Hanlin Academy, he used a few words to describe the era when heroes competed for the throne and talented people emerged in great numbers.

Hearing this, a few big words kept popping up in Sheng Yuan's mind: I yearn for it!
Of course, although there are many stories about the founding of the country, Sheng Xiangxun focused on the deeds of his ancestors, and picked and picked the most interesting ones to tell, so he quickly finished talking about the era of swords, lights, swords, and shadows.

Afterwards, he mainly told the stories of Sheng Guogongs of the past dynasties who acted according to the precepts of the ancestors.

Sheng Yuan listened, and couldn't help sighing silently: Sheng Guogong's mansion can exist for five or six hundred years, it really is not easy!
Of course, a large part of the reason why Sheng Guogong survived is that although the country that Yan Gaozu brought down changed hands twice, no matter from Yan to Chen, or from Chen to Chu, the political power was peacefully transitioned.

Whether Emperor Yan Mo gave the throne to Chen Taizong in order to save his life; or Emperor Chen Mo gave the throne to his brother-in-law because no one in the royal family could succeed him and hated his uncle for usurping the throne. The title of Sheng Guogong, who was taught by the ancestors to hide in the crowd and eat melons, has never changed.

Look, Duke Sheng's mansion is so lucky!

Of course, the reason why Sheng Guogong's mansion was tolerated by the emperors of all dynasties was not only due to good luck, but also the good attitude of generations of Sheng Guogong who were proficient in following their hearts and willing to follow their hearts.

When the emperor doesn't need it, the Dukes of the Sheng Kingdom of all dynasties can restrain their children, stay away from the center of power, and be a salted fish enjoying life with peace of mind;

But when the emperor needs someone to fight, the Shengguo government can really send people to fight against foreign tribes;

After their triumphant return, Duke Sheng would still be able to hand over the military talisman decisively without any regrets.

What courage!What stamina!How persistent!

Sheng Yuan felt that it is a long-term strategy to act like Duke Sheng of all dynasties who strives for demeanor, speed, quality, and safety saturation!
It is rare in history that Sheng Guogong has survived three dynasties, and the emperors of all dynasties have used good ministers!
