Chapter 46 The Imperial Capital Luoyang
Luoyang is the land of the ancient imperial capital, Zhougong Buluo, Yingwang City, and Chengzhou Shuangcheng.

Wangcheng is in the west, and Chengzhou is in the east.Wangcheng is the place where the emperor and the ancestral temple are located, and Zhoucheng was moved to the place where the remnants of the Yin and Shang Dynasties were banned.

After that, Luoyang was established here for several dynasties, and it was up and down several times until Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he inspected Luoyang in the east and looked out from Beimang. When he saw Luoyang, surrounded by mountains and rivers, he couldn't help sighing, why didn't the capital be built here since ancient times?
After Yang Guang finished his speech, the right servant shot Su Wei and immediately stepped forward, holding a wat board and playing loudly. He has never known it since ancient times, so as to serve His Majesty!

In the early years of the Sui Dynasty, after the accumulation of Kaihuang's rule, the entire Great Sui Dynasty flourished day by day.

Yang Guang swallowed mountains and rivers in anger, and issued an edict to the eastern capital of the world, saying that Luoyi has been the capital since ancient times, controlling three rivers and securing four fortresses...

In March of the first year of Daye, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty enlisted 70 civilian husbands and ordered Yang Su and Yu Wenkai to build the eastern capital.

In addition to the majestic Eastern Capital, Shanglin Garden, which can be called the first royal garden in the past and present, and Xianren Palace, which is not inferior to Renshou Palace, were built together on the west side of the Eastern Capital. Ling book road, a total of eight hundred miles, and build fourteen palaces!
Finally, the mobilized laborers reached 200 million people, and Luoyang, the eastern capital, was finally established in September.

At this moment, Li Chongjiu was leading his horse and heading towards the capital from the south to the east.All the way through Lingbo Palace, Jinghua Palace, and the Ganquan Canal connecting Yishui and Luoshui.

After that, Li Chongjiu finally came to Jianguo Gate, the south gate of Dongdu, and waited to enter the city.

Now waiting with Li Chongjiu, there are still a large number of business travelers waiting to enter the city for business, and farmers rushing to the market are entering the city.

Jianguomen is located on the central axis of Wangyi Tower in Dongdu. It is the main gate, and it opens to the south. There are Baihumen and Changxiamen on the left and right.

As Jianguomen, the south gate of the imperial capital, Jianguomen is definitely the area with the highest flow of people entering the city every day. Li Chongjiu feels as if he is in Beijing West Railway Station.

But this Jianguo Gate is also worthy of being the most majestic gate in the imperial capital. It is said that its grandeur is even better than the Mingde Gate in Xijing.There are three doors under the city gate, the middle one is usually closed and cannot be opened, and it is only for the emperor to drive in and out, and the other two go in and out from the left and right.

Due to too many people, Li Chongjiu took the customs inspection issued by Shaolin Temple in his hand and showed it to the city soldiers.This made Li Chongjiu's little worries disappear.

After passing through the dark door opening tens of meters long and leaving the city gate, Li Chongjiu's eyes suddenly brightened, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

In front of Li Chongjiu was a sky street with a width of [-] steps. To Li Chongjiu, this was simply a square, not a street.

There are elms and willows planted on both sides of Tianjie. The road is divided into three roads, the middle is the imperial road, and the two are for common people to walk.

At this moment, Li Chongjiu led his horse and walked on such a spacious street, even as a traveler, he couldn't help feeling an eye-opener.Tianjie leads directly to Duanmen, so most of the squares on both sides are the residences of the royal family, nobles and senior officials, such as Kuanzheng Square, the second square on the left, which is the county seat of Henan County.

Seeing that the houses on both sides of Lintian Street have double-layer eaves and are decorated with red powder, a luxurious atmosphere fills the eyes.

Li Chongjiu knew in his heart that when he reached the bottom of Tianjie Street, he had to cross the famous Tianjin Bridge to cross the Luoshui River, and after that, he would be the south gate of the imperial city, Duanmen.

If Li Chongjiu wants to see Princess Changle at this moment, he can go all the way north along Tianjie to reach the imperial city in the northwest corner of the Eastern Capital.

It's just that Li Chongjiu, the princess of Changle, can see it, but even if he doesn't go to the imperial city, it doesn't affect Li Chongjiu to see the weather of the Tianjia along the Tianjie Street, and he is infected by the momentum from the pavement.

After stopping for a long time, Li Chongjiu sighed for a while, and decided to go to Li Hu and the others first, and immediately asked a "city man" for directions, and asked how to get to Guidefang.

Seeing that Li Chongjiu was dressed in coarse linen and looked like a migrant worker entering the city, the other party immediately raised his eyes to the top, casually pointed to the east, and said that it would be three squares to the east.

When Li Chongjiu heard the words, he thanked him very sincerely. The more than 100 squares in Luoyang are all straight and divided.He heard that after the construction of the Eastern Capital, although Yang Guang adjusted the households in Yuzhou, Jiangnan, and Hebei several times to fill the population of Luoyang, the population distribution in the entire urban area was still uneven.

For example, Lifang in the southeast corner where Guidefang is located, is too remote from the imperial city where the northwest is located, and the two cities in the north and south of the eastern capital, the central business district of the CBD.

Therefore, the Lifang in the southeast corner of the Eastern Capital is relatively sparsely populated compared to other Lifangs, and there are not many dignitaries living there, so it is generally poor people, and there are no high-grade inn residences.

Li Chongjiu stepped on the ground with his straw sandals, and rushed to Guidefang in a hurry.After arriving at the destination, in front of the square gate, two city guards were lazily standing against the wall with their guns in hand.After Li Chongjiu entered, they asked casually and let him pass.

In Guide Square, there were really not many people, so Li Chongjiu easily found the inn where Li Hu and the others were staying.

Before asking the shopkeeper, Li Chongjiu saw Wang Mahan's hulking back.

The other party was sitting on a table in the inn, clasping his feet in one hand, and holding chopsticks in the other hand, facing a large bowl of noodles, eating noodles in a hurry.

When Wang Mahan was eating heartily, he suddenly felt his shoulders sink, as if someone put a hand on his shoulders.

Wang Mahan was furious immediately, wiped the soup in front of him, and scolded: "I don't know if I hate others for patting me on the back when they are eating noodles?"

When Wang Mahan turned his face away with his fist in his hand, he was taken aback, only to see Li Chongjiu standing behind him with a smile.

Immediately Wang Mahan dropped his chopsticks. Seeing Li Chongjiu staring at him for a long time, he suddenly wailed and said loudly: "You are the master, you are the master. It really is you. I thought I would never see you again in my life."

Li Chongjiu laughed, and said: "What nonsense, I'm still standing in front of you."

Seeing that Li Chongjiu saw the truth, Wang Mahan nodded immediately, wiped his eyes, raised his head and raised his voice, and shouted to the above: "Stinky boy, come down to me, less masters, more escorts." Here comes the head!"

After Wang Mahan finished speaking, he heard the sound of the wooden stairs upstairs, many people came down from the upstairs, and dozens of people stood in front of Li Chongjiu, filling the inn to the brim.

"It's really a young master, that's great!"

"Bastard, what are you doing, you should be called the young escort!"

"Yes, yes, I am confused when I get excited."

Several people were also moved to tears on the spot.

Li Chongjiu couldn't help being a little moved when he saw it, and said: "Brothers, I've been waiting for a long time. It's good to see you again, Xiaojiu."
